Re: hello
Hello! I'm sure you will start making more progress if you try. Set goals everyday and work towards them. Tips for hiragana: transcribe romanji song lyrics into hiragana, use flash cards, and drop romaji!
Remember! Chiri mo tsumoreba yama to naru!

For those who purchase the already made salads by Ready Pac Foods, read on. Ready Pac Foods has recalled more than 5,000 cases of bagged salad because of a possible E.coli contamination. According to the Food and Drug Administration, these bags of romaine lettuce mixes were distributed to 15 Western states, including California.
Ready Pac Foods salad recall
When is food recalled?
Food manufacturers and the USDA and FDA recall food when they believe it may cause a consumer to become sick. They make sure that particular food is taken off the shelves.

Companies refuse to accept liability but agree to pay out
Several of the UK's biggest building firms are to compensate workers who were blacklisted from working on building sites.
The eight companies have apologised for their involvement with an organisation that kept the list but have not admitted liability.
Trade unions say thousands of people on the list were denied work for years.
Justin Bowden, national officer for the GMB union, told the BBC the next step for the companies was to "clean up and pay up".
"The victims and their families will either be fairly compensated including the offer of jobs or GMB will ensure justice for its members through the High Court," he said.
The list was held by a company called The Consulting Association (TCA) who held information on 3,200 workers.
While most on it were members of unions, some had simply raised health and safety concerns on sites.
In a statement, the companies - Balfour Beatty, Carillion, Costain, Kier, Laing O'Rourke, Sir Robert McAlpine, Skanska UK and Vinci - said they all apologised "for their involvement with TCA and the impact that its database may have had on any individual construction worker".
While the construction firms have not admitted liability for any involvement in blacklisting, they are asking unions to work with them to establish a compensation scheme.
Unite assistant general secretary Gail Cartmail said, "Many of these workers have spent years out of work as a result of being blacklisted. Employers have a moral duty to give them back the jobs that were wrongly taken away from them."

Nigel Goodinson
The Club Received the devastating news yesterday of the passing away of a true pioneer of our club Nigel Goodinson..
At this sad time our thoughts and prayers are with Nigel's wife Julie, son Ryan Daughter in Law Helen and Grand Daughter Neve and all his family and friends....
Nigel has been an inspirational cornerstone of our club and is arguably the clubs most successful manager since our formation, his drive , passion , honesty and integrity are the virtues he has instilled in all who played for him and everyone he came in to contact with.
The word legend is sometimes easily used, but Big Nige was just that , a wonderful loving family man whose unconditional love for his family was clear for all to see , his lifelong love Julie was the centre of his world and he was so proud of his son Ryan and a doting Granddad to Neve.
RIP Mr Nigel Goodinson
A reminder that for mini soccer players (U7-U10) must retreat to the half way line for goal kicks.
The back pass rule applies to all age-groups, including U7-U10
You will have seen the kick offs at the 2016 Euros, with players playing the ball backwards, this is one of the changes to the Laws of the Game for the 2016/17 season.
At the bottom of this page is a document highlighting the major changes which will come into effect for next season, it is important that players and managers of teams take the time to have a look at these changes and educate themselves on the different laws referees will be asked to apply, hopefully avoiding any confusion or disputes at matches.
Please take the opportunity to download and read through the attached document taking on board the changes, making sure all your players, management team and where possible supporters are aware of the changes.
One of the more notable changes is an alteration to Law 12, the denial of a goal scoring opportunity (DOGSO) in the penalty area. If the referee deems the foul to have been accidental or a genuine attempt to play the ball, the player is cautioned, where they were previously sent off.
If you have any questions or want clarification on any of the laws changes for next season please contact Craig Grundy or James Bell at Sheffield & Hallamshire County FA on 0114 261 5500 or email firstname.lastname@example.com
The Club received the devastating news Saturday of the passing away of our Club Secretary Mr David Wragg...
At this sad time our thoughts and prayers are with Dave's wife June and his family and friends.
Dave Wragg has been instrumental in the progress of our club both on and off the pitch , he courageously picked up the "Wragg Amber flag" following the passing away of his brother and one of t...he club founders, Mick Wragg who tragically passed away shortly after forming the club, Dave's countless hours of dedicated work and support to the club and everyone around it for close on 40 years is a truly remarkable contribution in the history of our club, helping to provide so much for so many.
The overwhelming outpouring of admiration for gentlemen Dave from all walks of life in the past 24 hours really does speak volumes of the man and his family who supported his relentless hours of volunteering for the club for so many years.
Club President Bob Hill said of Dave's Passing " Not only has football lost a dedicated, passionate and true gentleman - I have lost a true friend. The devastating news has been very hard to take in - something you don't want to believe. But it is as a friend I will miss Dave greatly who gave me support and guidance especially through my bad times.. My thoughts are with June and the family at this sad time"
Club Chairman John Ward said of the loss " Today we have lost a true gent,dear friend and mentor, who has guided Handsworth to were it is now.Thoughts with June & family. Love you Dave....your dream WILL be delivered and I know you are still with us all the way, keep correcting me when needed, your support is invaluable"
To lose such an influential and passionate man ...will be very difficult for everyone who knew him, but one things for sure Dave & Mick Wragg will be looking down on the Amber Family proud as punch at every ball that's kicked, every goal scored and every new young player proudly wearing the Amber & Black shirt for the 1st time....Dave will take particular delight in every fulfilled Fixture list & referee appointment!
Dave's guidance, help and support has touched everyone who knew him, a level headed and knowledgeable man who be forever in our hearts.
We at the club have a responsibility to carry on the legacy that Dave Wragg has worked so hard to create... that would make him so proud.
Thank you to "Wraggy" for all you have done, fly safe our true Friend... Love you Mr Wragg.
RIP Mr DAVID WRAGG

Loosing data that you are responsible for can be far more than an inconvenience – it can cost you your job or could even bring legal consequences. In the cloud enabled environments of today, we still find scenarios that require us to physically hold data on media, so the question of how do we best secure these physical devices will continue to be an important question to answer. We are starting a series of product reviews specific to USB Flash Drives (or USB Thumb Drives if you prefer) that offer built-in hardware encryption. If the worst case scenario happens, where the drive is lost or stolen, at least your data will be protected (hopefully!).
3 Flavors Available
The Kingston Digital 64GB Data Traveler AES Encrypted Vault Privacy 256Bit 3.0 USB Flash Drive (DTVP30/64GB) is one of several encrypted USB flash drives intended primarily for personal use. It can be used for business purposes, but if you are looking for features such as enterprise management and control of the device, you won't find them with the "Vault Privacy" version of this product. Slightly different models support both antivirus and managed solutions if you require those options:
Encryption Methods
The major question to ask regarding any encrypted storage device, or any encryption in general is what cypher is in use. In this case AES-256 is the cypher in use. AES is a fairly strong cypher, especially with a 256 byte key. AES has multiple modes that it can operate with. Cypher Block Chaining (CBC) is one of the most well-known modes of AES operation. However, the Data Traveler uses the XTS (XEX-based tweaked-codebook mode with ciphertext stealing) mode. The XTS mode was fairly recently standardized. IEEE standardized XTS mode in 2007 and NIST released standard publication 800-38E in 2010, so there have only been a few years of wide standard use to evaluate the strength of XTS mode. The original goal os XTS mode was to increase the security level of AES-CBC by trying to prevent side channel attacks. There are still a few open discussions regarding the security of XTS mode, but it appears to be fairly secure.
FIPS Certification and TAA compliance
Many customers in the market for an encrypted USB flash drive are looking to comply with regulations or requirements. Frequently one of the requirements is a FIPS certification. The Kingston Data Traveler is certified with FIPS 197 which primarily looks at the hardware encryption algorithms in use on the device. A more recent FIPS standard (140-2) is quickly becoming the defacto certification standard for devices such as encrypted USB flash drives. FIPS 140-2 (level 3) provides a more robust certification method that takes into account additional factors besides simple hardware encryption algorithms. It also ensures that the circuits themselves are tamperproof or at least prove that tampering occurred. If you requirements include FIPS 140-2 (level 3), then the Vault Privacy model is not for you. However, you might want to consider the 4000 G2 as another option. The Vault Privacy is TAA compliant, which is increasingly an important caveat in many organizations.
Speed and Performance
The USB 3.0 interface allows for a much faster transfer of information to and from the device. The older USB 2.0 standard allowed for a maximum of 60MBytes/second. The USB 3.0 standard can theoretically transfer at much higher data rates, close to 600MBytes/sec.
Storage Capacity
Considering that some USB flash drives are now capable of storing 512GB or higher, the maximum 64GB of storage on the Vault Privacy seems less than ideal. There are cases where the size of a single file could exceed 64GB. IronKey S1000 at 128GB and similar security features can store twice the amount of data, but at quite an increase in price. Encrypted Solid State Drives (SSDs) might be another option if you require additional storage.
One of the greatest strengths of the Vault Privacy is the price. As of October 2016, the 64GB version is selling for $151 on Amazon.com.Overall, this is a significant amount higher than an unsecured and unencrypted usb flash drive, but not an outrageous price by any means. The extra built-in security warrants the price premium
The Vault Privacy is a great encrypted flash drive for personal use and for small business use. It is lacking in storage capacity, but can easily meet the needs of most standard users.
4/5 Stars

Unfortunate: Part 1 (遺憾 (1), Ikan (1)) is the 356th chapter of the Hunter × Hunter manga, written and illustrated by Yoshihiro Togashi.
After one of the bodies explodes, blowing off his left hand, Hisoka tries to assess the situation and figure out what Chrollo did in that instant. He soon comes to the conclusion that Chrollo figured out which body Hisoka decapitated, placed a "minus sign" on it at full power, before placing a "plus sign" on a different puppet and causing them to come in contact using Black Voice. Hisoka realizes the dangerous situation he is in and chooses to "go all in", decapitating several puppets and climbing up the Heaven's Arena walls using Bungee Gum in order to find Chrollo on the second floor. With several puppets in pursuit, Hisoka is faced with even more directly ahead of him, which have been ordered to self destruct after spotting Hisoka. Due to this, a large explosion comes from the second floor, sending Hisoka flying towards several puppets on the arena floor and blowing off his left leg. Before he is able to use his right leg to Bungee Gum to the ceiling, a puppet from the second floor flies into his chest due to Chrollo's intervention. Hitting the floor, Hisoka is surrounded by a crowd of puppets before a large explosion engulfs them.
Chapter NotesEdit
- Chrollo kept track of which body the severed head belonged to.
- Hisoka concludes that Chrollo must've marked the body of the severed head with the plus sign and someone else with the minus sign, then manipulated that other person using Black Voice to touch the plus sign, turning the body and the severed head into a maximum power bomb.
- Hisoka loses his left leg in another explosion created by The Sun and Moon.
- Hisoka is surrounded by a crowd of puppets before a large explosion engulfs them.

I made today's card a few weeks ago, but never got around to posting it. I was really happy with the end result, however it did take a good bit of time due to all the fussy cutting. The adorable little critters are from the stamp set called "Life in the Forest" which is in the current mini catalog. The DSP paper (4" x 5-1/4") is from the paper pack "Sweet Sorbet" (free SAB choice). The sentiments were from the combination of "Just Sayin" stamp set cut out with the "Word Bubbles" framelits dies. For the trees and grass, I hand cut scraps of Wild Wasabi and Early Espresso cardstock that were laying on my craft desk. The scrap of Early Espresso was from the core'dinations cardstock and had been embossed with SU's woodgrain embossing folder, so it was perfect to use as my trees. I paper pieced the faces on the fox and porcupine with scraps of Whisper White, Really Rust (retired) and Pink Pirouette. I used a scrap of Soft Sky cardstock for the sky, and framed it with the On Film framelit die. The framelit was attached to the card front with dimentionals. The fox was also added using dimensionals, as were the sentiments. The Word Window and Modern Label punches were used to frame the greeting.
This card was a little bit of an effort to achieve, but I do think it was worth the extra effort.

Communications have played a special role in the North. Terrain, climate and distance made it difficult for northerners to communicate with each other or with southern Canada before the advent of electronic media. In traditional times, Inuit messages were passed through personal contact.
Almanacs, annual compilations in sheet or book form which included a calendar, with saints' days and other significant dates, and astronomical phenomena such as eclipses, phases of the moon and transits of the planets, were a well-established tradition in Britain and the American colonies by the mid-18th century.
Over the past year, Jean Monty has been buying up properties and piling them on top of one another much like a winner at a blackjack table stacks his chips in multicoloured towers. In February, the chairman and chief executive of BCE Inc. dished out $6.8 billion for control of Teleglobe Inc.
William Craig's red eyes betray how busy he has been lately. He gets six hours sleep most nights, but says it doesn't help when overseas media phone at 2 a.m. for an interview. Still, all the attention that comes from holding a hot hand as an Internet upstart is unquestionably flattering.
Founded in 1995 by co-artistic directors Dáirine Ní Mheadhra (cellist, born in Cork, Ireland) and John Hess (pianist, born in Kitchener, ON), Toronto's Queen of Puddings Music Theatre produces original Canadian chamber opera with a performer-based, physical theatre aesthetic.
The Encyclopedia of Music in Canada, comprising over 3100 articles and 500 illustrations, was the first music encyclopedia published in Canada. Entries include biographies of Canadian musicians, and histories of organizations involved with any facet of music in Canada.

Having promised my wife I wouldn't bungee jump without her – or rather not do anything so stupid on my own – I kept my word, naturally. However I did receive clearance for the Bridge Slide (zipline), one of Shearwater Victoria Falls' many activities. It might be lamer than the bungee or the pendulum […]

On July 1, 2015, the Town implemented the Covered Parking for Employees Administrative Directive to set forth the policies and procedures for employees' use of covered parking at the MMC and the MOC. Due to the construction of the new Police Facility at the MMC, effective immediately the provisions in the Administrative Directive regarding the assignment of parking spaces are suspended for covered parking at the MMC. The limited number of covered parking spaces that will be available at the MMC during construction will be allocated to the employees who paid for covered parking for the longest continuous periods of time.All provisions of the Administrative Directive will remain in place for covered parking at the MOC.

Police searched Chris Brown's car on Saturday (07Feb15) after receiving an anonymous tip alleging one of his passengers was carrying a weapon.
Officers targeted the Kiss Kiss hitmaker's Lamborghini outside Sayer nightclub in Los Angeles while the singer was inside the venue attending a pre-Grammy Awards party held by rapper T.I.
Sources tell TMZ.com that the police detained the friend who was alleged have to have been carrying the gun and searched the car, but they did not find a firearm.
Brown has been present at two separate nightclub shootings in recent months, but the singer is not believed to have been involved and escaped without injury.

#5 – Josh Leivo – LW (Toronto, AHL)
Leivo has used a solid showing in his first season as a pro with the Marlies to climb two spots and into the top five of our prospect rankings. He's also had a few looks with the Leafs this season, so the fanbase is starting to find out what this guy's about – size and skill.
Recently I took in a pair of games between the IceCaps and Marlies here in Newfoundland, and while anyone can look good in a game or two, I was surprised by Leivo. The only forward on the ice that was more noticeable offensively, for either team, was Peter Holland.
I did notice at times that Leivo would take a safe shot rather than trying to beat a defender, but that's likely common for a kid adapting to the pros. His skill will be on display more as he continues to get used to his surroundings. – Ryan Fancey
#4 – Stuart Percy – D (Toronto, AHL)
Stuart Percy may not be lighting things up in the scoring department, but he has been arguably the most impressive rookie of any Marlies forward (EDITOR'S NOTE: I could fix this and simply type "defenceman" but throwing Jeff under the bus is way funnier. Shut up, Jeffler. – Steve). Eleven assists in thirty five games is nothing to scoff at, and he's just one of seven regular skaters with a positive plus/minus (I know.. but the AHL's stats are limited).
Percy has shown excellent positional awareness and a boatload of confidence, allowing defensive partner TJ Brennan to take more risks and be the league's most dominant offensive defenceman. He's also receiving time on the secondary penalty kill and powerplay units. – Jeffler
#3 – Matt Finn – D (Guelph, OHL)
Up two spots from our preseason ranking, Matt Finn is currently enjoying a solid offensive year while captaining the OHL-leading Guelph Storm. In 44 games so far, Finn has scored 10 goals and 27 assists – his 38 points ranks third amongst OHL defencemen, and his +37 rating leads the entire league. It's amazing what you can accomplish when you're not being hampered by an injured knee or mononucleosis
Having signed a three-year entry level contract with the Leafs back in November, Finn will almost certainly make the jump to the AHL next season. And then the NHL shortly after. And then maybe, I don't know, the Hall of Fame? Probably. I'm never wrong about these things. – Justin Fisher
#2 – Peter Holland – C (Toronto, NHL)
Last time around, we had Joe Colborne as our runner-up prospect. This was really concerning. No disrespectful to Colborne, but what is his NHL ceiling? With Peter Holland, I feel a lot more confident. Now the issue is using him properly.
Peter Holland is pointless in games where he plays less than ten minutes, most of which are spent playing with the likes of Colton Orr. When put in an actual offensive situation, Holland is a legitimate NHL scoring threat. The biggest factors for Holland now are big issues for other prospects his age: Consistency and the numbers game. Is Holland a consistent enough contributor yet? I have liked his play so far, but I would say no. With Trevor Smith becoming an option again soon and Dave Bolland on the mend, Holland may still see some AHL time this season before making the full-time NHL jump. – Steve Dangle
#1 – Morgan Rielly – D (Toronto, NHL)
Still a prospect by our standards, and the crown jewel of the Leafs' system. No longer just a toolsy blue chip with a lot of junior success to speak of, Morgan Rielly has legitimately been one of Toronto's better defenders this season.
He has a +2.0 Relative Corsi For, per Extra Skater, and has the highest shots on goal rate among Toronto defencemen, with 5.0 per 60 minutes. A few months ago I think the worry was that he'd have difficulty translating his game to the NHL as a regular, especially as a 19-year-old, but nothing Rielly has done has showed me he doesn't belong. He skates wonderfully with the puck and you have to imagine that once he's allowed to roam a little in the offensive zone he'll get a few more goals. With just a 3.9% shooting percentage, things are going to get better for him in the second half of the season. – Cam Charron

Fact Or Fiction: Jennifer Aniston Tells Chelsea Handler To Stop Talking About Angelina Jolie
I told you about how Chelsea Handler went off on Angelina Jolie recently, calling 'The Tourist' star a "homewrecker." The day that story broke, Chelsea went on her E! show and said her friend Jennifer Aniston had nothing to do with her remarks.
Now Pop Eater reports that Jennifer herself wasn't happy about Chelsea's comments.
"Jen has gone out of her way to keep her private feelings about that woman who stole her husband private and has always asked her friends to do the same," an insider tells me. "She is furious with Chelsea for bringing the whole situation back to life again and landing her on the cover of a weekly magazine tomorrow with a Brad headline."
Jennifer reportedly feels as betrayed as when John Mayer told the press he broke up with her. Now Chelsea's reportedly out of Jen's inner circle.
"Jen doesn't just let these sort of people in her life," a friend of the actress tells me. "She hates drama or unnecessary attention and certainly doesn't want to ever see her face on a tabloid again with a headline about Angie or Brad."I don't think Jennifer's been completely close-lipped about her feelings toward Angelina, but this may have been too much.

Many observers have noted that the world of robotics in the mid-2010's strongly mirrors the world of computers in the mid-1980s. Like computers back in the day, a moderately skilled individual can put together a surprisingly advanced robot from scratch, using off-the-shelf parts and publicly available guides. In other words, now is the perfect time for any individual of any age to get started with robotics. Here are a few tools and beginner robot projects:
Lego Mindstorms
These archetypical building blocks claim millions of fans from all over the world—and with Mindstorms, enthusiasts can bring them to life. Mindstorms kits contain a variety of touch, pressure and light sensors, powered by a simple command box programming language. Notably, Mindstorms represents a genuine educational opportunity, as several versions of the kit are sold directly to schools making them a great starting place for a beginner robot enthusiast.
Once you've mastered the capabilities of Mindstorms, the next step is to try something a little less user-friendly. Arduino is exactly the right choice. As a microcomputing platform with plenty of input/output slots, it offers a wonderful open-source platform that sits at an intermediate difficulty level for hobbyists. Even better, it's an extremely well-understood device—there are already detailed guides for making low-cost beginner robots.
Rasberry Pi
The Rasberry Pi is somewhat similar to the Arduino, but it has much more advanced capabilities. It's a fully realized single-board computer, with an integrated graphics card and CPU clock speeds up to 1.2 GHz. Like the Arduino, there are plenty of tutorials for beginner robots involving this system already. As this system has more capabilities than Arduino, the resulting robots will be more full-featured, but its complexity may be intimidating to newer makers.
Scratch Programming Language
Both Scratch and Lego Mindstorms are the genesis of the MIT media lab. Like Mindstorms, Scratch is also designed to let beginners of all ages easily learn technical literacy skills. Not only is Scratch easy to program with, there's a huge publicly available codebase with programs that people have already written, ready for you to re-use. Lastly, Scratch is compatible with Rasberry Pi, Arduino, and Lego Mindstorms, allowing you to bring new programming functionality to any of your robotics projects.
One of the best things about robotics right now is that because there are so few major manufacturers (for consumer robots, anyway), that most are now created as open source. The means that even if you don't think you have the technical skills to bolt and solder your own robot together, you can still take many commercial robots and program them to suit your whim.
The other great thing about robotics right now is that even if you feel intimidated by the task of programming or assembly, there are tens thousands of people out there in your shoes. Huge numbers of people are learning more about robotics every day, and as such there are a plethora of free resources available to interested learners. Check out some tutorials over at Make magazine, find interesting DIY projects at Instructables—for truly advanced learners, there's even an Ivy-League robotics course available for free on YouTube. There's an opportunity to learn for everyone at any age and any level of skill—so get out there and make some robots!

Since making a video requires a significant amount of investment in time and money, it is essential that your video work hard to achieve a sizable return.
Many companies post videos on their websites, optimizing them for SEO in order to grab the attention of passing traffic. This is usually where their actions end, though.
With a certain amount of planning and forethought, it is possible to make your video content work harder for you or your company's brand.
Maximize your website potential.
Most company websites have multiple pages; why not take advantage of those pages and post the video to more than one?
For example, if you have a product demonstration on one page, you could also highlight it on the home page to attract customers, or use it next to a blog so that customers can ask questions about the product.
Having a blog is essential for those who want to establish brand authorityestablish brand authority, build brand identity, and interact with a growing community of customers.
If you have a number of videos, consider adding a video resource page to your website. This gives you a way to organize all your video content, while also giving potential prospects an easy way to check out all the services and products you offer.
Promote videos on social media.
Social media has become an essential tool to business marketing. Promoting your video on social media is a win-win situation. They give followers engaging and fun content, and places you product into the hand of the people who are most likely to spread word about it.
Depending on your strategy, and the relevance of your video, you may want to post it on Facebook, YouTube, and even Twitter. Be sure to cater all captions in specific ways, to capture as many audience members as possible.
Present your video at conferences.
Attending shows and conferences gives companies a huge opportunity to gain face time with businesses and optimize your network potential. This is especially important for start-up companies who are looking to establish new connections and sales.
Everyone is competing for attention, so your video needs to clearly show who you are, what your company mission is, and detail the benefits of investing into your business. Videos strengthen your pitch, while providing a sense of personality.
Recruit new employees.
Adding a short video to your recruitment page can take away some of the tediousness of the hiring process. Videos can prevent having to repeat company's goals to potential employees. A 90-second video can say more about your company in less time than it would take someone from HR to in an hour long conversation.
There are also ways to use videos as content to train new staff. A set of core videos that promotes the company mission is an excellent way to ensure that your brand's mission is consistent across the company.
Right from marketing movies to attract clients or visitors to music movies and also meeting/celebration filming, Click Zoom can help you get audiences and set up your identity.

National Science and Engineering Week
The week beginning the 13th of March was National Science and Engineering Week.
This week was marked by a number of events within our school. Students could take part in activities including mouse dissections, extracting DNA from strawberries and Advanced Van der Graaf skills, where students experimented with a model representing particle accelerators, as used in the Large Hadron Collider.
A team of Key Stage 4 students prepared and delivered a brilliant assembly, that presented these events together with clear introductions to the background and scientific theory.
Thank you and well done to Nandini, Olivia, and Daisy for their hard work!

Being on a soccer team was probably the best and worst decision I ever made in my life! I was only playing because my mom made me sign up for a sport. I eventually quit, figuring my reason for continuing to play shouldn't be because I wanted to make other girls cry when they lost.
I wasn't exactly what you would call the "star player" of the team. I say that it was the worst decision of my life for the obvious reason. I was horrible! And being horrible at a sport kills you even more when your coach knows you're horrible and sticks you on the field every time your friends or your crush comes to a game. There's also the fact that you have to go to practice after school, everyday, in the rain, or in the beating hot sun for three long, miserable hours. I was forced to take part in a sport and I was devastated. I had a social life I needed to get back to! Wasting my days away making my muscles sore playing the one sport I thought I would like and ended up hating was not my idea of a "fun time."
However, in spite of that horror story, it was also the best thing I had ever done in my life. I ended up dragging along two of my friends to practice with me because I was NOT going to do this alone, and we surprisingly ended up being friends with everyone on the team. Even though the three of us were embarrassingly bad at the sport, we fed off of their energy and became excited when we were going to go to a new match. When we won it felt like all of us had scored the winning goal by how supportive everyone was, with the sounds of high fives filling the air and the words "Good job girl!" becoming quite contagious. I learned that when girls love a sport this much, they fight for it. Not only for themselves but for their teammates. And they fight HARD. Maybe that's what had the other soccer teams on edge.
The Hocking Girl's Experience On the Soccer Team
In Scottsdale, Arizona, the Foothills Academy College Prep boys soccer team boarded the bus along with two special midfielders, sisters Alyssa and Colette Hocking. They had gladly joined for every practice and game, and was given the same treatment as any of the other guys. The school was too small to have a boys and girls soccer team, so the girls decided to try out for the boys team to show them just how serious they really were. Little did they know that making the team wasn't going to be the only struggle they would face.
After riding for an hour to play against Our Lady Of Sorrow, the team said that they would just as soon forfeit the game then play with the girls. So, for the sake of the boys, the girls decided to sit on the sidelines and watch as their much more masculine teammates participated in the season opener. When the Mesa Faith Christian team told them the same thing, the boys had the girls back. They refused to play without the entire group and forfeited the game. "The whole team supported us," Alyssa Hocking stated. Colette Hocking said, "We're happy we were part of the decision! They included us. It made us feel like we were part of the team."
As for the coach of the Mesa Faith Christian boys soccer team, he stated that his stance on the matter was purely for religious reasons. The administrative leader of the school, Dick Buckingham, stated, "It is based on a religious perspective that God created guys and girls differently. The difference physically, there is a strength advantage that men have over women. We want to teach our men that honor of ladies is just not in sports. We struggle how to teach that if we're allowing them to play against young ladies in a competitive game." Click here to hear more from the girl's teammates and how they feel about what happened.
So I'm guessing you guys would like to hear my opinion. Of course I can say that I totally respect Dick Buckingham's point of reasoning. However, I think that just because there may be a physical difference between men and women, it does NOT mean that women should be treated less than men in the sports world. I think that they should be at least given a chance to prove themselves so maybe people could see that women can be just as good at men in any sport. I know that may sound a bit social justice warrior (SJW) of me, but I think it is a fair point!
I have met some CRAZY good female soccer players that could probably kick some guys butts on the field, so why not treat them equally? I've seen this when my school played plenty of small schools before. My school had a boys basketball team that had to face off against a team with a girl on it, and did anyone treat her any differently? No! People saw that she could really handle herself on a court full of boys and was even told that she was one of the best ballers on the team! I just think that even if you feel uncomfortable playing with a team that has two members of the opposite sex, that's fine. However, I do wish that in these types of circumstances girls and even boys were given more of a chance to prove themselves.
What do you guys think? Do you agree with my point? Disagree? Have you ever been part of a team of the opposite gender? What was it like? Comment down below and let us know!

I'm so glad I found you
I can't describe how grateful I am to have somebody who I can literally discuss about anything inside my mind, no matter how controversial or dark or paradoxical it is. Somebody who I can converse with endlessly about everything within the cosmos and beyond.
Being able to laugh over the silliest things like memes on this instagram account with you as comfortably as to discuss about serious, philosophical ideas like why we humans do what we do, what happens after death or why the world is so unfair is hands down one of the best things in my life.
I'm so glad I found you, Akash. The ability to have open-minded conversations with you about our deepest thoughts, opinions and fantasies without any fear of being judged or exposed is one of the infinite reasons why I love you so.
To finally have somebody who understands and accepts the mechanics of my complex, intricate, goddamn confusing mind - after years of feeling misunderstood and alienated -
With love,
P.S. For those that are new to my blog, Akash is my boyfriend (and my best friend, swolemate, study buddy, partner in crime, my everything really) of over two years now. Also, I'm curious, who's the one person that you can spill your hearts out to?

Our own Darius Austin reported yesterday that Cuddyer, who hit for the cycle on Sunday, had to sit on Tuesday and Wednesday due to tightness in his hamstring. At the time, it was thought that Cuddyer would be ready to play tonight.
It appears the Cuddyer is healing slower than expected, as reported by Thomas Harding, who covers the Rockies for MLB.com.
#Rockies Michael Cuddyer, not in tonight vs. #Marlins, said he was not cleared to play because of hamstring swelling but he's getting better
Cuddyer, in his 14th Major League season, is batting .331 with six home runs and 19 RBI in 33 games. He lead the league in hitting last year with 20 home runs, 84 RBI and a .331 average. In 1,403 career games, Cuddyer has a batting average of .278 with 183 home runs and 741 RBI.

(Bloomberg)—South Korean firms, led by one of Asia's largest asset managers, are investing in hotels and office buildings abroad as low interest rates locally are driving them to seek better returns overseas.
Their targets are hotels and buildings with marquee names in popular tourist destinations such as Hawaii and San Francisco, where some South Korean firms are paying record prices.
Mirae Asset Global Investments Co. is acquiring the leasehold on the Hyatt Regency Waikiki Beach Resort and Spa on the Hawaiian Island of Oahu for $780 million, a person with knowledge of the pending transaction said Thursday.
The resort, with its landmark twin towers, would be the biggest single-property hotel transaction ever in Hawaii, according to research firm Real Capital Analytics Inc. It would mark Mirae's second large hotel acquisition on the island chain in a year. The Seoul-based firm acquired the Fairmont Orchid hotel on Hawaii's Big Island for $220 million in May 2015. Several months later, Mirae acquired the Fairmont San Francisco hotel, a landmark in the city, for $450 million.
Six percent annually
Mirae declined to comment on the Waikiki hotel deal. But a Mirae official, who didn't want to be named because of company policy, said low interest rates have made investment in overseas real estate more promising.
Mirae has spent 4.94 trillion won ($4.3 billion) investing in overseas properties since 2006, the official said. Landmark hotels investments have annual dividend yields of about 6 percent, he said.
The firm has invested in seven hotels since it acquired Sydney's Four Seasons Hotel for 340 million Australian dollars in 2013, according to the Korea Times. The Waikiki hotel deal will be its largest.

South Korea's family-run chaebols have also been on a spending spree. Hotel Lotte Co., which has filed for the country's biggest public offering ever, acquired The New York Palace hotel for $850 million last year. Korean Air Lines Co. is building a hotel and office complex in Los Angeles at a cost of $1.1 billion.
Even institutional investors are getting in on the action. South Korea's Teachers Pension underwrote $77 million in mezzanine debt to fund investors' purchase of the marquee Westin St. Francis hotel in San Francisco. A group of Korean insurance companies is investing about $220 million in a mezzanine loan for the 54-story AXA Equitable Center at 787 Seventh Avenue in Manhattan.

Just the other day I was thinking to myself how technically advanced our generation's children are going to be. Kids these days are iPad, iPhone and tablet wizards. With this immense knowledge also comes immense risk and responsibility. The Internet is a scary place. There are scary people, scary hackers and scary situations everywhere! I often question whether I should allow our lives to be such an open book on our blog. On the flip side there are a lot of mistakes children and teens can make causing them to be the problem.
Not only do we need to teach our children how to avoid dangerous situations but we also need to teach them to T.H.I.N.K before they tweet, blog, comment or text. Heck, I know a few adults that could benefit from this!
T- is it true?
H- is it helpful?
I- is it inspiring?
N- is it necessary
K-is it kind?
Many children have their own devices and are allowed to use them unsupervised. Do your kids know to T.H.I.N.K first?

John Wesley's Ecclesiology
Over my vacation I had the opportunity to peruse the book by Gwang Seok Oh on John Wesley's Ecclesiology: A Study In Its Sources and Development. It is a reworking of Oh's doctoral dissertation at Southern Methodist University under William Abraham. I appreciated the thoroughness of Oh's argument and the way in which he walked through Wesley's understanding of the church. Particulary interesting for me were Oh's chapters on the influence of German Pietism on Wesley and the importance of primitive Christianity on Wesley's view of ministry and mission.
If you want a serious in-depth study of Wesley's ecclesiology (a topic of growing importance today) this is the work!

Lisa Schader || Running toward fears while battling postpartum anxiety
Wednesday, December 21, 2016
It took a lot for me to convince Lisa Schader to do this podcast interview; she protested that she had so few "followers" and wasn't "famous" for anything. Guess what? Lisa is exactly the type of person I want to interview.
That's because Lisa is a wonderful recovering perfectionist.
I'd be hard-pressed to find any one else who is more knowledgeable on all things self-improvement and human development related. Lisa has a wealth of knowledge on these topics in great part because of her insatiable desire to learn and improve her life; but it also came from the huge struggles she faced after the birth of her first son. Lisa found herself immediately facing extreme postpartum anxiety; anxiety fueled by perfectionism Lisa didn't fully realize was in control; anxiety so intense that she couldn't sleep or eat, take care of herself or, most devastatingly, take care of her baby. Lisa describes the low points of being the opposite of her usual self, how she made recovery her top priority, and the growth she has built the past five years as she has run towards her fears instead of away from them.
Lisa is in a much better place now, is still passionate about self-improvement, but also has great wisdom in how to do so without being obsessive and imbalanced. There are so many jewels in this interview, including Lisa's tips on how to set goals and manage them in a way that they are achievable in our day-to-day lives.

This plan is designed for people who are not overweight and do want to bulk up by using the bodybuilding plan. It is designed for toning and shaping muscles. For those around your target weight and simple desire to tone up your muscles and add definition to them, this is the plan you should follow.
This plan will place more of an emphasis on cardiovascular training as opposed to strength training for the reasons stated on the previous page. Strength training will be done three times a week and cardio will also be done three days a week.
This plan will focus on the following exercise and diet techniques:
· High rep/ Lighter weight exercises.
· Cardiovascular exercise several times a week
· A standard diet focused on increasing protein and decreased carbohydrate intake.
Strength training
· The strength-training phase of this plan is important and will be done on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. It is very similar to the strength training plan for the weight lose exercise except for this plan you will use much higher reps and a few exercise more per week.
· Check under the EXERCISES or ANATOMY CHART sections of this site for explanations and demonstrations of the exercises recommended in this plan
· With all exercises, use an amount of weight that allows you to get at least 15 reps and no more than 20 reps. You should perform (3) or (4) sets of each exercise with a 1 to 1.5 minute rest in between each set. By keeping your time between sets down, you will keep your heart rate up and incorporate cardiovascular benefits into your strength training.
· CONCENTRATE ON GOOD FORM, NOT ON HOW MUCH YOU CAN LIFT!! This is probably the biggest mistake people make in the gym. They let their egos dictate how much they can lift instead of being realistic. Using more weight than you can handle causes you to use improper form which doesn't work the intended muscles and it also cause injuries very quickly. Use an amount of weight that allows you to perform the exercise with almost perfect form, and concentrate on that. This will yield the biggest gains and growth in your muscle. ALWAYS USE GOOD FORM!
· Do not jump in to this program too fast. Start out slow, and don't over do it the first few times you go through this routine. Your muscles will be plenty sore by going slow, trust me, there's no need to do too much too fast.
* ALWAYS perform two warm-up sets before going into your normal routine. Which ever exercise you plan on doing first simply take a VERY light weight and perform 18-20 reps of exercise for two sets. This will get the blood flowing in the muscle group you are working that day and get it warmed up and ready for primary routine.
*At the end of every strength training workout, perform (3) sets of abdominal crunches to failure OR (3) sets of leg lifts until failure*
Day 1 - Monday - Chest and Back
*Perform any (2 or 3) of the following exercises according to the routine mentioned above.
· Flat Barbell Bench Press
· Incline Barbell Bench Press
· Flat Dumbbell Bench Press
· Incline Dumbbell Bench Press
· Flat Dumbbell Flys
· Incline Dumbbell Flys
*Perform (2) exercise from Group A and (1) exercise from Group B
Group A
· Seated Cable Rows
· Bent-over barbell rows
· Back Dumbbell Flyes
Group B
· Pull-ups / Chin-ups
· Lat Pulldowns
· One-Hand Dumbbell Rows
Day 2 - Wednesday - Arms and Shoulders
*Perform or (1) exercises for Biceps and (1) exercises for Triceps
· Standing barbell curls
· Standing Alternate Dumbbell Curls
· Preacher Curls
· Concentration Curls
· Triceps Pushdowns
· Nose Breakers / Skull Crushers
· Close Grip Bench Press
· Overhead French Presses
*Perform (2) exercise from Group A and (1) exercise from Group B
Group A
· Military Presses
· Dumbbell Presses
· Side Raises
Group B
· Barbell Shrugs
· Dumbbell Shrugs
· Upright Rows
Day 3 - Friday - Legs
* Be careful of over training your legs because extreme soreness will severely hinder your ability to successfully complete your cardiovascular exercises.
* Perform (2) of the following exercises:
· Squats
· Leg Presses
· Leg Extensions
· Leg Curls
· Sissy Squats
· Straight-Leg Deadlifts
* Perform (1) of the following exercises
· Standing Calf Raises
· Seated Calf Raises
· Donkey Calf Raises
· Leg Press Calf Extensions
Cardiovascular Exercise (Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday)
*Fourth Day of Cardio Is optional*
· PERFORM CARDIO ON AN EMPTY STOMACH!!! When you perform cardio your body will start looking for calories and food to burn to keep up the high level of exercise it is enduring. The first place it will look is in your stomach. And if food is there, it will burn that food off first, and never tap into the energy it has stored as fat on your body. However, if your stomach is empty, it will go straight to existing fat and burn that for energy, and that is what you want while performing cardio. So the best time to perform cardio is first thing is the morning before you take in any food for the day. If you can't do that, just try and do cardio about 2-3 hours after the last meal you've eaten. Both ways will work.
· Cardiovascular includes all exercises that elevate your heart rate as described earlier in this program. Activities such as running, walking, jogging, biking, or swimming are all excellent cardio exercises.
o Perform (1) cardio exercise for 30-45 minutes on these days.
· As stated above, doing a fourth day of cardio either on Sunday or on one of your strength training days is an option. For some people, this would be way too much and for other they may feel they need a little more. Listen to your body, and do what is best for you.
* Here are the general guidelines you should follow when constructing a toning and shaping specific diet/eating plan:
· Remember, you will never see the definition that you've worked so hard for is there is fat covering it up. That's why simple exercising and toning your muscles will not yield the results you want. You need to burn away the fat that is on top of those muscles. This is accomplished by doing your cardio and by following a good, healthy, clean diet. Doing both of these will melt away the fat on you and when you see the muscles that have been hiding underneath it, it will blow you away!
*See Workout #1, rule #1 under diet for the explanation why.
3) Use the formula in the diet section of workout #1 to find how many calories you should take in daily to maintain your current body weight. This is the number of calories should try and eat while performing this workout plan. Any less than this is too little to replenish your muscle and allow them to heal and grow. Any more than this amount will negate the cardio vascular exercise you're doing and not allow your body to burn the existing fat on your body.
4) Follow this breakdown of your calories: 30-40% from carbohydrates, 30-40% from protein, 30% from fat. Look at the eating plan of workout #1 for how to calculate all the numbers of these nutrients you should be taking in. Remember, carbohydrates turn into fat stored on your body more than fat does. Carbs are the nutrient with the most available energy. And fat on your body is there because you body is trying to store energy for future use. So naturally, it is going to store the nutrient with the highest amount of energy first, and that nutrient is carbohydrates. So, for this plan, try and keep the carbs low and the protein high. This will yield the greatest results.
