Described as one of the pre-eminent Asian botanical gardens in the world, Quarryhill was a perfect setting for this year's Impact 100 Garden Party.
Following a brief time for refreshments, conversations, and a stroll along garden paths, Impact100 President, Sydney Randazzo, welcomed members and their guests. She expressed appreciation to our major underwriter, Union Bank and to Madrone Wines for their contribution of delicious wines and special thanks to our hosts, the Quarryhill Botanical Gardens, for graciously opening their beautiful gardens to us, providing shuttles from the parking lot (much appreciated), and arranging for tours by knowledgeable and enthusiastic docents.
Each year this event provides an opportunity to hear from the most recent recipient of the $100,000 Impact Grant, and we were delighted to welcome Laura Zimmerman, Executive Director of Sonoma Valley Educational Foundation, to tell us more about SmartStart – the preschool program funded by Impact100. "We are incredibly grateful for your support… We know we can change kids' lives." She described the "buzz of excitement" at Sassarini School with all of the required changes underway to support the program activities, and she invited Impact100 Sonoma members to visit on September 28 to see impact of our grant. "You are all suddenly part of another part of our Sonoma community – our school district and we will welcome you at the 'Impact100 Sonoma pre-school'."
Impact100 Membership Chair, Ann Reder, shared a delightful garden analogy – thanking all of us "perennials" and encouraging additional "annuals" to add to the growth of our garden. Her message about membership was followed by an official welcome from the Executive Director of Quarryhill, Bill McNamara. He described Quarryhill as a "wild garden" and an important player in botanical conservation and research. All of the plants have been grown from seeds gathered throughout Asia and serve as a genetic repository of numerous endangered plants threatened by the current extinction crisis.
Impact100 members then had the opportunity to follow several docents through the garden to learn about the Asian heritage of modern roses, a variety of medicinal plants, and the "parents" of conifers around the world and to experience first-hand the uniqueness of Quarryhill.
And a special thank you to:

Now come the elite QBs that are getting a ton of money. These guys are getting ridiculous amounts of money, but they've deserved it over the years. The first guy is Peyton Manning. Some people questioned whether he was still worth a lot after having neck surgery, but he definitely proved that last year. He will make $25 million in cash with a $17.5 million cap hit, but honestly, he's probably worth that. He has made the playoffs in 12 of his 14 years as a starter, and he won the Super Bowl in 2006. He's passed for nearly 60,000 yards and has over a 2:1 TD to INT ratio. He's an amazing leader and is considered one of the smartest QBs in the league. This is the example of a guy that deserves $20+ million a year. He has more than proven that he's worth it, and he's a sure-fire Hall of Famer once he retires. He most definitely deserves his contract, and it'd be a flat out lie to say otherwise.
Aaron Rodgers is not as good as Manning yet, but he's a lot younger and has already performed excellently for the Packers. In five years as a starter, he's made the playoffs four times. He's averaged over 4,000 passing yards in each of those season and has a mindboggling 3.7:1 TD to INT ratio over his career. He's won two thirds of the games that he's started in the regular season and won the Super Bowl in 2010. He has attained the elite status so quickly that it'll be amazing to see what he can do in the future. Now, the elite status means you should probably be getting in the $20 million range, which is why I'm hesitant to say that Rodgers deserves his contract. His cap hit is only $12 million this season, but he's actually making $40 million, the highest by far in the league. That is a staggering number (likely due to a signing bonus) and is just too high. Rodgers is arguably the best QB in the league right now, but that doesn't mean he deserves $40 million in one season. Nonetheless, that's what he's making this year, and he probably deserves it more than anyone else in the league.
Among the elite quarterbacks is Drew Brees, who also has a Super Bowl ring (in 2009). He has twice as many TDs as INTs and has almost 46,000 passing yards throughout his career. He's got the ring, he's got the stats, and he's got the leadership. He's also got the playoff experience too, making the playoffs in five different seasons. He actually has the record for the most guaranteed money in his contract at $60 million. He just recently signed a huge extension, valued at 5 years, $100 million. 2013 is actually the year where he'll make the least amount of money (only $10 million), but his cap hit is $17.4 million, the third highest in the league for QBs. He actually made $40 million in 2012 which is just insane, but that was due to a $37 million signing bonus. Regardless of how much money he makes, he's such a huge part of the Saints offense that they would be terrible without him. That's a big indication of how good a quarterback is…how valuable he is to his team.
If we're talking about elite quarterbacks, we have to include Tom Brady. He's won more Super Bowls (3) than any other active QB in the league and has made the playoffs in ten of eleven seasons as the Patriots' starter. Another crazy stat is that he is 14-7 in the playoffs…any quarterback that has that good of a record in the postseason deserves the title of elite. He's always had an excellent TD to INT ratio and has passed for nearly 45,000 yards. He may be making $31 million in actual cash this year, but his cap hit is only $13.8 million. Plus, he signed a three year extension recently that will save the team cap space due to a pay cut that Brady is taking. That's the perfect example of a team player who is more focused on winning than the money. Even though his salary is very high this year, it is only going to decrease from here on out because he cares more about the team than himself.
This next one could go either way. Ben Roethlisberger is a very underrated quarterback and could easily be considered elite, but people tend to leave him out because he doesn't pass for crazy amounts of yards every season and doesn't have the name Peyton Manning or Tom Brady. This is a guy who's made the playoffs 6 out of 9 seasons that he's been in the league, and he has won 2 Super Bowls. What else could you ask for in a QB? He has a really solid TD to INT ratio (close to 2:1) and often does very well once he gets into the playoffs. The one drawback is that he gets injured more than most players in the league, but when he's healthy, he's been one of the most reliable QBs in the league over the years. He is a guy that a team should spend $13.595 million in cap space for because he has been known to perform well over the years.
Part 9 will be released tomorrow.

It currently resides at the Art Institute of Chicago, where it was purchased soon after it was completed.
The work depicts a "cheap restaurant" (in Hopper's own words), clean and well lit in the darkness of a city at night. There are large, long windows, typical of an American diner, through which the viewer can peer at the patrons inside. There are four figures in the painting: two male customers, a female customer, and a man behind the counter who appears to be attending to the guests. The male patrons are dressed in dark suits, common for the time period during which the work was painted, and the female patron wears a striking red blouse. The man behind the counter wears the white smock that was commonly worn by a cook or soda jerk. On the counter, there are condiments and coffee mugs. The painting overall evokes a feeling of insomnia-specific to an American city late at night, the bright lights of the restaurant a seeming safe oasis in the darkness of the closed shops and vacated buildings that surround it. The painting is large, about 5 ft by 2 and 4/3 feet in dimension.
Hopper took notes about the painting (and many of his other works) in a journal that he shared with his wife. In his entries about the painting, he describes the elements of the work in minute detail, writing about the various figures in the painting—what they would be wearing, how they would roughly look, what they would be doing, and what kind of feeling they were meant to evoke—as well as very carefully describing the angles of the building, the counter, and how the light should strike certain elements in the painting. The lighting seems to have been a particularly complex aspect of the painting, and Hopper had to experiment with different paints to achieve the artificial glow of fluorescent light.
According to his wife's letters to her sister, the work took approximately a month and a half to complete. He wife also appears to have chosen the title of the piece, though the title may refer to the bird-like nose of one of the diner's patrons. The painting itself may have been inspired by Earnest Hemingway's story The Killers, which Hopper had read in a magazine and greatly enjoyed. It is also possible that Hopper may have been influenced by Van Gogh's painting Cafe Terrace at Night, a work with a similar theme of late-night patrons visiting a bright restaurant in the middle of the night.
Regardless of its source of inspiration, the work's most striking theme is that of a sense of isolation or alienation. Hopper himself would later admit that he was probably unconsciously depicting the "loneliness of a large city" in Nighthawk.

The average sales price of homes across the Triangle topped $300,000 for the second consecutive month as sales prices of both new and resale homes registered health gains from a year ago.
The average overall sales price of a Triangle home was $307,400 in May, 8 percent higher than a year ago, according to the latest Triangle Multiple Listing Service data for Wake, Durham, Orange and Johnston counties. April marked the first time that the overall average sales price, including new and resale homes, exceeded $300,000.
The average sales price of resale homes alone in May was $289,000, a 7 percent hike from a year ago.
"It's good news and bad news," said Stacey Anfindsen, a Cary appraiser who analyzes the MLS data. "It's good news if you own a home because the value of your home, in theory, is going up. But it's bad news if you're in the market because things are becoming more expensive."
Anfindsen noted that both new and resale homes are fetching 22 percent more than they did four years ago, when the average sales price was $251,000.
"That's a big jump," he said.
Sales prices in the Triangle have risen year-over-year for 37 consecutive months.
A total of 3,198 homes were sold during May, up 2 percent from a year ago.
"There's more buyers than there is inventory," said John Wood, owner of Re/Max United. "That continues to be the story."
As a result, homes are selling faster.
On average, homes were on the market for 36 days before being sold, less than half the number of days four years ago.
Three-quarters of the homes sold in May were sold within 30 days. More than one-quarter of the homes sold – 28 percent – fetched more than the list price.
For resales, "the condition of the home is crucial to get not only top dollar but a fast sale," Wood said. "A lot of people don't want to take on a project. They want the kitchens updated, they want the bathrooms updated, they want the carpet or the hardwoods replaced or refinished, and they want it painted."
Wood's advice for sellers: "Put your home in showroom condition and you will be happy with the results. We believe you will get your money back out for the money you have to spend to do that."
But the market has a glut of high-priced homes.
For homes priced priced at $800,000 and up, "there's too much inventory and not enough demand to absorb the inventory," Anfindsen said. "It's especially acute in the resale market. The issue with that inventory is that it's between 10 and 20 years old and it's competing against product that is brand new."

Do you remember your very first race you ever ran? We remember our very first Virginia Beach race. The year was 2001. We finished on the oceanfront at the first-ever destination half marathon, Rock 'n' Roll Virginia Beach. Now, we're here to paint a picture of Virginia Beach Legacy: 15 years in the making.
In 2015, we celebrated our 15th year running anniversary in Virginia Beach, and we were joined by a very special group of legacy runners who have been with us since the event's inception! Read on to learn about these loyal and enthusiastic participants who've been with us since the beginning — and every year since!
Meet Legacy Runner Patrick
Patrick, one of our amazing Virginia Beach legacy runners, shared his story with Competitor.com. At 51 years old, he was gearing up for his 15th anniversary of running Rock 'n' Roll Virginia Beach. Owing in part to his civic pride, this Virginia Beach resident had not missed a single half marathon with us.
Celebrating Our Virginia Beach Legacy Runners
We have nothing but love for our Virginia Beach legacy runners! On our 15th year anniversary, they received a few perks, including a special anniversary race bib, custom luggage tag and — the best thing to celebrate with — a Virginia Beach Legacy Runner beer mug!
A New Year, A New Distance
Another favorite moment from our 15 years was as recent as 2014. This was the year we added an all-new distance: a 1 Mile race entirely on the sand. Appropriately titled "Mile on the Sand," the additional race distance allowed runners to participate in the Remix Challenge.
Military Challenge
The year 2015 wasn't just about our legacy runners. In this year, we introduced the Military Challenge. With 4,500 participants, it received the largest turnout across the Series. The Military Challenge is a race-within-a-race that several of our Tour Stops host. Participants compete against fellow members of the armed services. Athletes competing in the Military Challenge must be either active duty or a veteran of the United States Armed Forces. If eligible, their times are ranked against both their age group and those in the Challenge.
Feeling Inspired?
Inspired after reading and seeing 15 years of Virginia Beach? We hope so. Lace up and join us for future Rock 'n' Roll Virginia Beach races. Make it your tradition to commemorate summer each year with this special race — just like our legacy runners have.

Transition to employment is a vital step for anyone, especially if you have learning differences. A supported, adapted and structured environment is needed to help enable our trainees to reach their full potential.
We run an accredited UK Life Skills Programme (ASDAN) alongside work based learning. Our trainees experience hands-on employment in our coffee shop whilst developing integral life skills in the vocational training centre above. They produce a portfolio of work which enables them to demonstrate their skills in a style which suits their needs and receive certification for the units they complete.
The coffee shop is adapted with visual supports, colour coded equipment, sensory and quiet areas, information points and staff who are trained in key word signing. For those who don't need or no longer need these supports, they are removed to ensure progress.
By giving our trainees simple tasks we know they can achieve, we instantly see a boost in their confidence and self-esteem. Gradually we introduce more challenging activities which they are prepared to tackle. So often, they have not been given the chance to succeed and at Steps we aim to change that.
All students complete a 6 week induction before working in the coffee shop to ensure they are ready for the programme which covers:
Induction to the workplace – meet their colleagues and staff, familiarise themselves with the work environment, understanding the daily routine, learning about the ethos of the coffee shop
Set expectations – punctuality and timekeeping, being presentable, uniform, break and lunch times, what to do in case of being sick/needing help/feeling upset. Outlining what the students would like to achieve and creating our target wall.
Hygiene and health and safety – basic first aid training and workshops orientated around the importance of hygiene and cleanliness in the kitchen. We also look at food storage, refrigeration and freezing. At the end of this training, the students will complete an online assessment which gives them a certificate in health and safety.
Kitchen overview – learning and identifying the different equipment found in the kitchen, how to store ingredients, where equipment is kept and how we maintain it.
Steps to success – students will be introduced to our reward scheme which enables them to earn 'I can' badges for different areas of success in the workplace. Each badge they earn is presented during our monthly achievement ceremony and is then sewn onto their apron.
Following the 6 week induction to the programme, students begin units which focus on skills including:
Life Skills
- How to dress appropriately for work
- Hygiene
- Handling money
- How to write a resume/CV
- Transportation
- Self-advocacy
- Talking with the public
- Following directions
- Working with colleagues
- Building peer relationships
- Problem solving skills
- Conflict resolution
Transferable Skills
- Learning to prepare food and drinks
- Customer service
- Cleaning tables and equipment
- Punctuality
- Use of kitchen tools
- Use of ICT such as sending emails and blogging
- Stock taking
Management Training
- Budgeting
- Ordering supplies
- Handling customer enquiries
- Using the cashier
- Creating staff rosters
- Being assertive
- Leading meetings
Each person is different with a set of unique skills and therefore each programme is individualised to best allow our trainees to reach their potential. Self-esteem and achievable targets are key to effective learning and success. Each time one of our trainees completes a module within a unit, they earn a badge of recognition that is put on their apron so they can share their success with colleagues and customers. We also have a wall of positivity on which customers and staff leave comments for our students. They start each day by visually seeing how capable they are and this has a huge impact.

Model United Nations of Baden-Baden
The Third Annual Session of the Model United Nations of Baden-Baden (MUNoBB)
14th – 18th March 2018
For years Model United Nations conferences have given young people the opportunity to debate important world issues. Each participating school represents one or more countries or organisations. It puts forward the views and opinions of that country on global issues including human rights, disarmament, economic, social and security issues.
By taking part in a Model United Nations conference, participants learn to negotiate and cooperate with other delegations. Their perspective on current affairs is broadened, and they learn to appreciate the importance of diplomacy. They have the opportunity to hone their debating skills and, as English is the official language of the conference, they also improve their knowledge of the language. In addition, participants get the chance to meet students from different countries and cultures.
What is special about Model United Nations of Baden-Baden?
- Different levels of difficulty: Every participant should feel comfortable with their state of knowledge. Therefore, every committee has a different level of difficulty. (Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced, Proficiency)
- First-timers coaching: First-timers, students who attend in a MUN for the first time, are often reserved and shy. Therefor the delegates will get a more intensive and better support.
- Minimum age of 16
- Crisis meeting: On the last day, there will be a crisis meeting with all delegates of each committee in a special plenum
- Intensive support: The management places a high value on an intensive support and contact with all participants
If you would like to attend MUN-Baden 2018, please contact us via email or send back the pre-registration form until the 8th of October 2017.
For more information please contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com
Resources for information about the country
When researching your delegation, you will find that there are many available sources to help you with research. Though it may look overwhelming to find the right information on your country, many sources provide several areas of research; such as the area of Politics, Government, Economy, Society etc. There are several sources listed below. You may also find that whilst looking through some sources, you will find information that would help you when writing about your political stance and position (policy statement/position paper 1 ) for your committee, or if you will serve as the ambassador of your delegation, it would help when writing your opening speech.
CIA World Factbook: https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/
United Nations Website: http://www.un.org/
BBC Country Profiles: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/country_profiles
To learn everything about a country is a hard task. First of all you have to think about the major topics you want to learn. I would suggest to make mindmaps of all these major topics. After that you could start with your research.
Position Paper
Every Delegate has to write a position paper on the topics that are to be discussed in your Forum. Each topic should be addressed briefly in a succinct policy statement representing the relevant views of the assigned country or NGO. You should also include recommendations for action to be taken by your committee. A position paper should be divided into three paragraphs to create an understandable structure and logic:
- Describe the current situation
- List all relevant documents, treaties, conventions and resolutions
- Action Plan: Here is the right place to formulate your own ideas about how the above-mentioned and criticized documents, treaties and mechanisms should be improved or amended. Since you criticized the already existing structures in the second part you are expected to come up with solutions for the problem. Take care that you avoid double-structures and institutions through creative proposals that ask for solutions that already exist but had different names. This paragraph is comparable with operative clauses you want to have included inside a Resolution.
(There will be a sample position paper soon)
Roles at the MUN
The Delegates
When students sign up for an MUN Conference within their school, they sign up as delegates. Schools are assigned either countries or organisations, where students must then hold the position of a delegate in a specific committee of either any of the countries or organisations their school was assigned. The role of a delegate is to act as their assigned delegation's representative in that part of the United Nations System (such as being the delegate of Japan in the Human Rights Council). The role of the delegate is to debate the topics of their committee, and to better the situation by the means of writing resolutions, explaining their delegation's position, or by helping debates by writing amendments to amend a resolution that is being debated.
An Ambassador means that you are the Head of a team of delegates. It means that you are the most experienced and that you are responsible for the over all achievement of your delegation. Each delegation should decide it's goal for the conference trying to find solutions for problems discussed by the United Nations.
Student Officers
Each committee has a chair, head or President who is the student officer in charge of the forum. There are 2 Student Officers in each GA committee and in the Special Conference.

In case you are uncertain about the modalities of a "MUN", here is a short description:
A Model United Nations (MUN) is a role-play performed by students from all over the world in order to simulate the work, rules, and proceedings of the United Nations as closely as possible. At MUNOBB we are going to initiate the UN's General Assembly with its six Committees, the Security Council, and Special Commissions.
- Every attending student will be assigned to a delegation. These delegations represent one UN-member country or an NGO/IGO (non-governmental organisation/inter-governmental organisation).
- A few months before the conference, an agenda containing the topics of every Committee, Commission and Council will be published. Those issues will be debated during the conference.
- As a basis of debate, every delegate is obliged to prepare at least one resolution in advance of the conference concerning one of the topics that will be discussed in the Committee/Commission/Councils the delegate has chosen.
- A resolution contains ideas and proposals of how certain problems concerning the world community such as peace and security, human rights, or environmental questions could be solved.
- When sessions of the Committees/Commissions/Councils commence with the lobbying process, the first step is to find delegates representing other countries that are willing to support one's draft resolution. In order to get your resolution debated in your Committee, Commission, or Council, it is necessary to get a sufficient number of signatures on it. You can either try to find enough sponsors on your own or prepare a new resolution together with other delegates.
- During the conference it is absolutely necessary to only argue in the interest of the represented country.
- Since a MUN tries to simulate the work of the UN as closely as possible, it therefore sticks to the UN dress code, which means that formal dress is required (pictures and further details are available on munobb.de (the new Homepage will be online at the end of September)).
- English, being one of the official UN languages, will be the formal language of the conference.

DIY Key Holder
If your child is particularly handy or artistic, she'll love putting her talents toward making a custom key holder board. Painting is a wonderful fine motor workout that allows your child's creativity to shine. This practical project looks great in the kitchen and would make a terrific gift!
What You Need:
- An old wood cutting board (if you don't have one, you can get one at a thrift store or garage sale)
- Paint for pourous surfaces
- Paintbrushes
- Hooks (the kind that screw in)
- Butter knife or screwdriver
What You Do:
- Have your child take a clean wood cutting board and paint a picture on it. It can be a picture of ladybugs, flowers or even fruits and vegetables. Once the artwork is complete, let it dry.
- Once the board is completely dry, take three hooks and help your child screw them into the board. For bonus math practice, have her use a ruler to make sure they're evenly spaced and take the opportunity to discuss measurement!
- As you get further into the board, the screws may be harder to turn. Simply take a screwdriver or butter knife, put it inside the hook part and turn. Take turns with your child when using the butterknife or screw driver—she'll get a kick out of it and it will introduce her to the concept of torque!
- With your child, choose a special place to hang your board. Then, hang your keys!
Imagine your child's sense of pride when she sees her artwork holding something so precious and important. To top it all off, you don't have to worry about losing your keys anymore!

My Depression Was the Worst It Has Ever Been During My Pregnancy
What is a time of joy for many women was my darkest hour.
A group of researchers at Northwestern University had 150 people track their physical activity and alcohol intake on a daily basis for 21 days at a time, at three different times during the year.
What they found will not shock you.
In what I'm calling "not at all surprising, guys," this group determined that "on days when people exercise more -- typically Thursdays to Sundays -- they drink more alcohol, too."
I mean, that makes sense to me.
Lead author of the study, David E. Conroy, isn't sure why this occurs, but suspects "rewards" and "human interaction" may have something to do with it:
"Perhaps people reward themselves for working out by having more to drink or maybe being physically active leads them to encountering more social situations where alcohol is consumed -- we don't know," Conroy said. "Once we understand the connection between the two variables we can design novel interventions that promote physical activity while curbing alcohol use."
Why do you hate fun, Conroy?
I've always assumed that this finding was kind of a given. Not necessarily that people drink more when they exercise intensively, but that after a lot of activity they are likely to "reward themselves" with some sort of tasty treat. If you like beer, that treat is probably going to be beer.
If this study had found that physically active people drink more overall, I would be more concerned, but they didn't find that:
"We zoomed in the microscope and got a very up-close and personal look at these behaviors on a day-to-day basis and see it's not people who exercise more drink more -- it's that on days when people are more active they tend to drink more than on days they are less active," Conroy said. "This finding was uniform across study participants of all levels of physical activity and ages.
I just fail to see the problem.
If you're the type who works within a calorie or point allotment for the day, exercising gives you more calories or WW points to "spend," so to speak. But even if you don't track calories, it makes sense that you would want a cold beer after a tough workout because cold beer is delightful.
The marathon runner with whom I share a desk was not surprised by the study findings. When asked to comment, he said: "Yeah, it tastes good and I just did a hard thing. I want something that tastes good and makes me feel better. Sometimes I want pancakes."
Correction: He always wants pancakes.
In terms of "social situations," it might dismay Conroy to know that there are entire social groups created for the express purpose of working out and then drinking. Sure, there are groups that meet up and exercise without the drinking after, but there will still probably be that one guy who brings a cooler of something a little stronger than Powerade.
Is booze the best recovery drink you could grab after pumping iron or running in a circle or whatever? No. Because it's a little to very dehydrating, depending on the ABV and how much you consume, but if you can't have a few beers (with a few waters) with your running friends after all the running then frankly I want no part in any of this because I only get that "runner's high" after the race is finished and my free beer is in my hands.
I can't speak to all exercise subcultures, but the endurance sport people I know seem to be pretty into drinking -- especially beer –- and why shouldn't they be? If the promise of beer at the end of an event helps someone complete a half Ironman, I think that beer is doing more good than harm.
Besides, you could do worse than beer. According to Hal Koerner in his book "Hal Koerner's Field Guide to Ultrarunning: Training for an Ultramarathon from 50K to 100 Miles and Beyond" (pithy title, Hal), beer isn't your best option, but it isn't your worst:
Although beer doesn't get a high ranking as far as hydration options, if you don't overdo it, there is nothing wrong with a post-race pint. Beer will supply you with some needed carbs and has the added benefit of being a little bit numbing, which can be a welcome relief after a race. The great running guru Arthur Lydiard advocated beer for his athletes, so if it fits your persuasion, don't feel bad for taking the edge off of a long day of training with some suds.
I pretty much never feel bad about taking the edge off of anything, but I like Hal's attitude.
I'm all for using less-than-healthy incentives in getting people to do healthier things. Which group sounds more fun: "Running for Brews" or "Running for the Sake of Running and Maybe a Longer Life"?
I'll answer my own question with another question: Will those extra years of life we racked up from running be filled with more running?
I look at it this way: I am going to drink alcohol at least a couple of times a week, whether I exercise or not, so I might as well tack on some physical activity to at least one of those outings. In that spirit, I have rounded up a list of fun races, routes, and groups that center around the consumption of delicious rewards. Some are alcoholic, but some are bacon:
"What?" you say! "A 0.05K? That can't be right; that's like 55 yards."
Correct. The Bacon Chase gives you the option of either doing a 5K or running less than 200 feet. No matter which option you choose, your entry will come with:
I really wish they had called this "The Ron Swanson 5K," but then they'd have to have scotch stations, I guess. (Scotch stations seem like a great idea, but things could devolved quickly.) This race takes place through out the US. Check out the map and see if there's one near you!
This 5K/10K is put on by Dogfish Head Brewery in Milton, Delaware every year to raise money for the Delaware Chapter of The Nature Conservancy. Besides the chipped-time race of your choice, the event includes food, live entertainment, brewery tours, and Dogfish Head beer.
If you're not ready for a race, but still want to run and drink, check and see if there's a Running for Brews in your area. This Florida-based running social group is always adding new locations -- you can even start one of your own -- and is a fun way to ease into the running community if you're a little intimidated (like I was).
4. Bike Tours Through Napa Valley
If neither running nor beer are your thing, may I suggest a lovely scenic bike tour with stops at various vineyards throughout Napa Valley?
Napa Valley Bike Tours are pretty low-key, with stops every 2-4 miles and an included picnic lunch. If you want to get really fancy, your tour can include a hot air balloon or spa treatment.
If you want something a little more exercise intensive, Getaway Adventures offers the Velo 'n Vino Tour, which includes a 30-mile bike ride, followed by a shuttled tour between vineyards because your legs are so tired from the 30-mile bike ride.
5. Disney Wine & Dine Half-Marathon
Disney races are expensive, but they are fun, well-organized, and super friendly for your more casual runner. (They keep the finish line open about an hour longer than your typical races.) I haven't done one myself, but I've attended the after-parties, and the Wine & Dine after-party is a blast. Not only do they keep Epcot open until 4 a.m., they also keep a good bit of their Food & Wine Festival kiosks running so that you may sample their wares.
These are only a small sampling of the many food and/or alcohol themed events you can find. As you can see, drinking and exercising overlap quite a bit, and the trend shows no signs of dying anytime soon. This could be for any number of reasons. It could be that people feel they "deserve" a drink more after a hard workout. It could be because of social groups whose whole shtick is "working hard and playing harder." It could be because drinking is a way to celebrate, and people who accomplish physical goals feel like celebrating.
Or it could be because beer is delicious and has that "mild numbing effect." Sometimes you just need a good numbing effect.

When you want something done quickly, following government procedures can seem like a creaky, interminable process. But when changes in the regulatory environment do inevitably occur, organizations that can efficiently adapt have an advantage over the competition. Automated expense management software can streamline the processes of tracking expense claims and reimbursing employees and make it easy to comply with current regulations.
On Aug. 1, the Internal Revenue Service released new regulations likely to affect every taxpayer who receives reimbursements and related expense allowance, as well as the organizations that provide these reimbursements. According to an article on AccountingToday.com, TD 9625 is intended to clarify expense reimbursement rules and exceptions. The agency also requires greater detail when it comes to reimbursing such nonemployees as clients and contractors.
The point is that the IRS regulations governing expense claims are likely to grow ever more complex. And for all organizations — especially those operating with an IRS Accountable Plan — keeping up with the changing rules is critical to the health of a business. Thus, it's important for an organization to review its travel and expense policies on a regular basis to ensure compliance.
With automated expense management software like Chrome River EXPENSE, a company can alter its rules, add new policies, and restructure approval chains at any time. Once the changes are entered, the system automatically ensures compliance with current corporate and governmental policies.
Every time an employee or executive saves an expense item, the expense management software checks for compliance with corporate policies. With each item submitted, the system calculates the appropriate approval routing based on the unique attributes of each expense and the expense report as a whole.
In a changing regulatory environment, organizations must keep up with current rules and regulations or risk serious penalties. Automated expense report software helps reduce this risk by making compliance more efficient and consistent.

Dear reader:
I haven taken up a Distinguished Visiting Fellowship at my good friend and colleague, Richard Ashcroft's University (Queen Mary, University of London). While I will be commuting forth and back between Canada and the UK (the environment, as usual, be damned ... do-gooders tend to travel at least as much as those who have no qualms about flying our environment into the ground), I have just arrived this week in Britain and I am trying to get my feet on the ground. Please be patient with me. I expect more frequent blog posts to resume this coming week.

I finally made it to the library this week, but didn't find anything that really caught my eye ): I did snag one book but not sure if I'll actually read it. oh well. Oh and one from Netgalley too.
(01) Geek Girls Don't Date Dukes by Gina Lamm
Leah Ramsey has always loved historical romance novels and dressing in period costumes. So when she has a chance to time travel and experience the history for herself, she jumps at it—figuring it can't be too hard to catch the eye of a duke. After all, it happens all the time in her novels.
Avery Russell, valet and prize pugilist, reluctantly helps Leah gain a position in the Duke of Granville's household . . . as a maid.
Domestic servitude wasn't exactly what she had in mind, but she's determined to win her happily ever after. Even if the hero isn't exactly who she's expecting.
This is the second book by Gina Lamm in the Geek Girls series, the first was Geek Girl and the Scandalous Earl (my review) which was a cute read. This one also sounds adorable so I do have high hopes (especially since it sounds like the valet will get the girl and here's a fun time travel shenanigans!)
(02) Peter Pan in Scarlet by Geraldine McCaughrean
Nightmares are leaking out of Neverland making time start to move, and, in order to save Peter Pan's life, Wendy and the Lost Boys must find a way to stop it.
The first-ever authorized sequel to J. M. Barrie's Peter Pan!
In August 2004 the Special Trustees of Great Ormond Street Children's Hospital, who hold the copyright in Peter Pan, launched a worldwide search for a writer to create a sequel to J. M. Barrie's timeless masterpiece. Renowned and multi award-winning English author Geraldine McCaughrean won the honor to write this official sequel, Peter Pan in Scarlet. Illustrated by Scott M. Fischer and set in the 1930s, Peter Pan in Scarlet takes readers flying back to Neverland in an adventure filled with tension, danger, and swashbuckling derring-do!
I'm not sure how I feel about this sequel, I think I just grabbed it from the library because really wanted to just revisit Peter Pan. Maybe I'll just go back to JM Barrie's original :/

Arrow Recap: Cupid, China White, & Liza Warner Stage a Prison Break
During this week's episode of "Arrow," titled "The Sin-Eater," Oliver Queen's positions as Mayor and the Green Arrow came under fire. First, Susan Williams brought forth her evidence that Oliver and the Hood were in Russia at the same time. This accusation set in motion a chain of events that ended up costing Susan her job. Then, the Task Force went after the Arrow for the death of officer Billy Malone. If those accusations weren't difficult enough for Oliver to deal with, three of his former adversaries — China White, Cupid, and Liza Warner — all escaped police custody to go after a cache of money left over from Tobias Church. Oliver had his hands full on both fronts tonight and he paid a visit to Prometheus' mother that left him empty handed. As if all those things weren't bad enough, the final moment of the episode revealed that Star City news outlets were calling for Oliver's impeachment after the cover-up of Billy Malone's murder.
Prison Break
The episode kicked off with a well-planned prison break by China White, Cupid, and Liza Warner. China White had been imprisoned since Season 2. Cupid was technically fighting for A.R.G.U.S. until Deadshot was killed on a mission. Liza was a former SCPD officer who went rogue during Season 4. All three women broke out of jail to find one of Tobias Church's money stashes. While the Green Arrow was pursuing them, he was apprehended by the Task Force, who went after him for killing Billy Malone. Oliver was easily able to escape from their custody, but their pursuit made him weary of suiting up again. Quentin Lance called Oliver out on this fear, asking Oliver if he didn't back down from Slade Wilson or Damien Darhk, why was he backing down from Prometheus? Oliver took Lance's words to heart and personally approached the head of the Task Force. Oliver confided in him that while the Green Arrow did kill Billy, it was by Prometheus' design.
"Are You the Green Arrow?"
Susan Williams decided to play her trump card in this episode by asking Oliver point blank if he was the Green Arrow. Oliver surprisingly answered "yes," but then quickly retracted by saying that he was kidding. Susan's question triggered Oliver to tell Thea, who then recruited Felicity to do some digging on Susan's computer. This direct line of questioning made Oliver second guess himself for the second time during this episode. While we're used to seeing a confident Oliver/Green Arrow, this week he was definitely more gun shy, about everything. Susan finally put the pieces together, he had to confess about the Arrow killing Billy — he couldn't go out in the field. All of these issues backed Oliver into a corner this week and he blamed Prometheus for everything. Oliver even went to see Prometheus' mother this week, but she refused to give up her son. Even though Prometheus hasn't been on the show over the last few episodes, Oliver was still reeling from the threats he made about Oliver potentially losing everything. It's not like Oliver to recoil from a fight — maybe having to fight the political battle is what's wearing on him the most.
Like Mother, Like Daughter
In light of Susan William's incriminating evidence against Oliver and the Green Arrow, Thea decided to plant plagiarized articles on Susan's computer, which cost Susan her job. When Oliver found out, he was furious with Thea. He even went so far as to compare Thea to their late mother Moira. It was such a double-standard moment, where Oliver allowed himself to cross a line, but not let Thea cross that same line. While Oliver didn't fire Thea or reprimand her, he did call out her bad behavior. This paralleled the conversations that Thea had with Lance earlier in the episode, and the conversations Oliver had with Anatoly in the flashback. Both Thea and Anatoly called Lance and Oliver "Sin-Eaters," hence the name of the episode. The men who take the hits, take the damage, so that others don't have to. In regards to Lance, he blamed himself for Liza going rogue, even though it wasn't really his fault. The same with Oliver — Anatoly cautioned Oliver against always shielding others and letting the world damage him in their place.
Not Replacing, Honoring
The episode concluded with the capture of Cupid, Liza, and China White by the Task Force. While the Task Force could have also arrested the Green Arrow, they chose to honor the Mayor's word instead, and let him go. Dinah also helped take down the ladies tonight, all while wearing Laurel's Black Canary mask. She was hesitant to put it on and even told Lance that she didn't want to replace his daughter. But he reminded her that Laurel's wish was not to be replaced, but to be honored. Dinah was also sworn onto the Star City Police Force this week, which means we'll probably start seeing the SCPD in episodes again. The last moments of the episode were spent with Oliver reacting to a news broadcast that was calling for Mayor Queen's impeachment.
Next week on "Arrow," the Vigilante will confront Mayor Queen's corruption. The masked Vigilante will wreck the Mayor's car and take him captive, forcing him to pay for his crimes. The episode is called "Fighting Fire with Fire," and will send the Vigilante on the path of judge, jury, and executioner.
VIGILANTE ATTACKS MAYOR QUEEN – Oliver (Stephen Amell) faces his biggest challenge yet as mayor. Felicity (Emily Bett Rickards) continues down her dark path with Helix. After Vigilante attacks Oliver while he's acting as the mayor, Diggle (David Ramsey) leads the team in a mission to stop Vigilante once and for all. Michael Schultz directed the episode written by Speed Weed & Ben Sokolowski. Original airdate 3/1/2017.
Starring Stephen Amell as the Emerald Archer, "Arrow" airs Wednesdays at 8 pm ET/PT on The CW. The series also stars Emily Bett Rickards, David Ramsey, John Barrowman, Willa Holland and more.

American Homes 4 Rent, the largest publicly traded investor in single-family rental homes, has acquired a pool of properties from a subsidiary of Michael Vranos' Ellington Management Group, in what could be a sign of further consolidation in the industry.
The company agreed to pay $126 million for some 900 homes scattered across six states, Arizona, Colorado, Georgia, North Carolina, Tennessee and Texas, it said on Wednesday. The pricing amounts to around $140,000 paid per property.
American Homes and other public landlords, including, Silver Bay Realty Trust and American Residential Properties, have recently been constrained from making many large purchases of rental homes, partly due to the weak performance of their stocks, according to research published by J.P. Morgan in December.
Rental companies are also coping with the climbing cost of financing acquisitions via the securitization market. Investors have expressed the loudest concerns over liquidity and spread stability in the deals, and how refinancing of loans backing the securitizations might play out. Benchmark pricing spreads on rental-backed securities have widened by 25 basis points since August, recent Bank of America data show.
That's not to say that acquisitions of rental portfolios aren't getting done. American Homes said last month it is ratcheting up its property purchases from $300 million to $500 million per quarter.
Other large rental landlords like Blackstone Group's Invitation Homes are also expected to buy or offer bids for more portfolios from mid and smaller-sized companies, which are cashing out as home values rise high enough to make their investment on once-distressed and foreclosed properties worth their while. That could lead to market-wide consolidation, with smaller aggregators rolling up into the largest landlords, said FBR Capital Markets & Co's Steve Stelmach, an analyst with the firm.
That kind of roll-up strategy is preferable to building portfolios through acquisitions made on courthouse steps, and pricing conditions appear to getting more favorable to potential sellers. American Homes will pay a 26% premium to Ellington's costs, according to Fred Small, analyst at Compass Point Research & Trading.
Ellington explored the possibility of turning its rental unit public in July 2013, but it has not executed on those plans. According to a July 2013 filing for Ellington Housing, the firm owned 707 properties at the time, with contracts for another 55 homes pending.
Jonathan Gray, Blackstone' global head of real estate, recently said that Blackstone may soon explore options to buy other publicly traded rental REITs. Blackstone CEO Steve Schwarzman repeated that possibility in a December interview with CNBC, describing real estate as a "terrific" investment for the firm and counting the ways they could exit the rental business down the road. "You can create a REIT, you can take it public, you can sell individual houses, you can sell them all together, you can sell them in geographic pieces. There are a lot of ways to realize on that," he said.
Despite the rising cost of securitization financing, researchers at Morgan Stanley expect to see issuance of around $46 billion of rental-backed securities in 2015, up from approximately $30 billion in 2014.

The first Bernese Mountain Dogs were bred in Switzerland by farmers to drive cattle, haul products and protect the family. Over the years this extraordinary dog has become a family companion, and the perfect helpmate. Bernese Mountain Dogs have an affinity for children which makes them very popular among families with young children. Bernese Mountain Dog are people-loving dogs, and by nature they are gentle and obedient. However, those skills need to be developed with training, practice and rewards. An untrained Bernese Mountain Dog will still be gentle, but more of a troublemaker.
The most outstanding characteristic of a Bernese Mountain dog is their beautiful coat. The coat is mostly black with bright white and rust color markings. They weight ranges from about 65 -115 pounds, bitches being the smallest. Since Bernese Mountain Dogs are large breeds they eat more, and they need to be exercised at least once daily. The life span of Bernese Mountain dogs is only seven years, due to several genetic diseases. They are vulnerable to hip and elbow, bloat, several types of cancer, autoimmune diseases, and kidney problems.
In the United States there are thousand of dogs given up for adoption, abused or abandon every year and one of those breeds happens to be Bernese Mountain Dogs. There are also many mix breed Bernese Mountain Dogs available for adoption. To find Bernese Mountain Dogs up for adoption dogs in you state visit this link.

Laini Hadijah Munsi from Uganda message
Since I learnt how to drive, I have been a proud owner of three motor vehicles all made in Japan: Sedan Toyota Premio Navy Blue 1.8cc, Staton wagon Toyota Ipsum Black 2.0cc and now an SUV Toyota Harrier 2.2cc. I opted for a Toyota primarily because its the preferred motor brand, availability of spear parts and of all its affordable and has a good resell value.
Latest models of cars from Japan manufacture in 2016 and 2017 may not be affordable to all because of taxes here, Big dealerships like Toyota Uganda and the others still manage to ship them in country and individual buyers and companies do rely on them for warranty.
However 3 quarters of Ugandans prefer Japanese used cars which makes the majority in Uganda and East Africa as a whole. There is availability in the choices of motor vehicle option of cars from Japan, availability of spare parts and the price is negotiable and affordable. The market base for Japanese used cars in Uganda is wide and is covered country wide business is flourishing here.
