Beacon Hill collaborates with luxury home furnishings brand Ankasa to
create Bespoke, a line of bedecked fabrics that are as beguiling and
bewitching as the ready-to-wear collection that inspired them. Bespoke's
fabrics merge a modern, stylized look with ornate embellishments such as
faux leather appliqués, embroidery made of metallic wrapped yarn, grosgrain
ribbon and metallic beads. All were hallmarks of the Spring 2013 collection
of Sachin and Babi Ahluwalia, the visionary textile designers behind Ankasa.
Bespoke's elaborate fabric constructions were perfected with the collaboration
of the finest Indian embroiderers and Belgian weavers. The collection's palette
skews neutral and is interspersed with metallic, such as pewter, bronze and silver,
and an occasional color burst in the form of vivid cobalt blue or bright jaunty yellow.
Bespoke is Beacon Hill's third collaboration with Ankasa, following Ankasa Legacy and
Ankasa Iconic. All three lines can work together to create a boldly fashionable story
for the interior.

We recognize that a single health or medical profession may not have all the answers to your questions surrounding your situation or condition. We feel that our patients can benefit from a variety of cooperative interactions with different healthcare and wellness practitioners and therefore will offer referrals as needed.
Our approach to your health condition will fall within all of our board recognized guidelines with a holistic outlook and approach.
The Chiropractors at WCA use an array of techniques and modalities in treating their patients. This includes: spine and joint manipulation, Activator, Thompson Terminal Drop Piece, torque release, soft tissue therapy, ultra sound, low volt and thumper, rehabilitative exercise, and orthotic consultation and production.
Spinal Decompression is a therapy designed for sufferers of chronic lower back pain or neck pain resulting from a herniated disc, bulging disc, degenerative disc and some other lower back problems such as sciatica or a pinched nerve.
This treatment is very safe and your doctor will utilize FDA-approved traction equipment to apply distraction forces in a specific and graduated manner. These distraction forces are offset by cycles of partial relaxation which allow the vertebrae to gently separate from each other, creating a vacuum inside the discs being targeted. The 'vacuum effect' created is also known as negative intra-discal pressure.
The negative pressure may induce the retraction of the herniated or bulging disc into the inside of the disc and away from the nerves involved. The effect after each session is microscopic but cumulatively grows over the course of treatment.
In addition to 'sucking' the disc back into place, the cycle of decompression and partial relaxation promotes the diffusion of water, oxygen and nutrient-rich fluids from the outside of the discs to the inside. These nutrients promote healing within the torn and degenerated disc fibers.
Proper patient screening is crucial to optimal treatment results. Please contact our clinic today to see if you are a candidate for Spinal Decompression Therapy.
Spinal decompression therapy is an intensive six-week program of about 20-25 treatment sessions. The treatments are a gentle and painless non-invasive option that has been highly successful in the past, allowing patients to return to a more normal lifestyle.
89 % of patients who have been properly selected and comply with the Spinal Disc Decompression protocol will have good to excellent outcomes…

Dr. Aaron Hoy has been my chiropractor for over 20 years now. I am over 50 years old and an active squash player and runner, and Dr. Hoy has helped me countless times in adjusting my body after an injury. Over the years, I have had knee injuries, elbow and wrist injuries due to carpal tunnel syndrome, hip and groin injuries and even foot problems! Dr. Hoy helped me maintain a free-moving body and to correct these problems as they arose, so I continue to play squash very freely and happily, and to run, do circuit-training, weights and cycling. I am always recommending Dr. Hoy to my friends. He knows what he's doing, and he really cares.
Very physiologically aware and deeply dedicated is how I have experienced Dr. Hoy's applying of his obviously extensive cervico and lumbar spinal knowledge and chiropractic sill on me, over the years. In my opinion, Dr. Hoy is the 'chiropractor of chiropractors' – in other words a stellar role model for 'newbie' chiropractors, in addition to providing his patient with excellent regular clinical practice in his first-rate clinic (I've tried a few.)
I would unhesitatingly recommend this ultra-professional Doctor of Chiropractic, Dr. Aaron Hoy, to anyone who wants comfortable, superior recovery from injury and/or top notch musculoskeletal/joint/nerve maintenance for their neck and back
What is unique about Dr. Aaron Hoy is his capacity to explain and help the patient understand how to identify and improve the contributing factors involved in any particular issue.
On one of my first visits to Dr. Hoy, approximately 20 years ago, I think he must have wondered what kind of a kook he was dealing with. I dumped a sack full of orthotics on the floor! Approximately 8 to 10 pairs. Net result of visit, after a few sessions, Dr. Hoy got me out of orthotics and using my own feet.
One day several years later I collapsed in my apartment and was shunted off to the hospital. I was there about three weeks – 13 prescriptions, enough x-rays (radiation) to last a lifetime, numerous tests of one kind and another. While in hospital I collapsed several times and I finally asked what could be causing this. I was told – 'Well, it seems it was one of the prescription drugs I was being given.'
Now I found myself in the position of having to live with the pain – couldn't stand, sit, or lean on anything.
Then a friend told me to try Dr. Hoy. After trying to get x-rays delivered to his office and getting an explanation, and several sessions of working together, I am happy to say that I am now walking and no drugs, prescription or otherwise.
Many thanks to Dr. Hoy, with his deft fingers and diagnosis. I am very happy to recommend his talents.
Dr. Domingo,
'Thanks for keeping me in good shape all these years. I really appreciate your expertise.'
I have had good health since I met Dr. Hoy a quarter century ago. I had strained my back badly in my early 20's, lifting a car battery out of an engine compartment. I was never right for years after. During a stint of commercial paperhanging, the injury came back several times. I was debilitating. Regular visits to Dr. Hoy put me right quickly and I have maintained a state of excellent structural health since. He also gave me the exercises to strengthen my core. Feeling stronger at 57 than 27 is a good thing. Highly recommended!
Dr. Aaron Hoy has been treating me bi-weekly since May 2006 for lower back problems. His overall approach is consistent with my desire to maintain physical activity during treatment. He has not only treated my physical concerns, but also provided valuable input to health of spirit and mind as an integral part of the physical healing process. I would certainly recommend his services to anyone who wants a dedicated and concerned professional who can and will tailor treatment to suit their particular requirements.
I came to see Jordan with low energy levels. I struggled to get out of bed in the morning and I had no energy to exercise. After a few treatments, I noticed that my energy levels had increased and my mood improved.
I had moved to Vancouver in the last 5 years and always used the same practitioner in England. So coming to Vancouver I wanted to trust and feel comfortable with my Chiropractor. I have been coming to Dr. Hoy now for 3 years and have been really happy with the results. I have been having treatments for tendonitis caused by repetitive use in squash and also recently seeing John's Acupuncture and combining the techniques for great results.
I've been a patient of Dr. Hoy's since my return to Vancouver from Toronto in the fall of 1993. I'd just been diagnosed with Hepatitis C, driven across the country post biopsy and hadn't seen a chiropractor for 11 years. The first adjustment he gave me led to such a release of tension that I burst into tears much to the surprise of my favourite chiropractor, Dr. Aaron Hoy.
I find Dr. Hoy to be a great chiropractor; he has a wealth of knowledge as it relates to the human physiology, and has even beenk known to adjust the arches of my feet. I've a particularly complicated neck, it is longer than most as I'm tall and Hepatitis affects my muscle tone there and on the rare occasions when I've had to resort to using other chiro's, I've never been happy with the results of my neck adjustments, he is deft and quick.
He's an optimist with a positive attitude and had provided me with the stretching techniques to sustain an adjustment for up to a month from a starting point of even twice a week when I've done something particularly debilitating such as an inopportune fall. He's also ready with a pen if any type of reporting it required.
I always look forward to seeing Dr. Hoy, he's a good Chiropractor, employer and family man.
Dr. Hoy is an integral part of my life! Over the past 15 years he has kept me nimble so I can continue to hike, run, golf and do all the other sports I want to do. He also works closely wit the medical community and provides solid information and recommendations for anti-aging which so many of us need. The office is a friendly, efficient place and I have to say I really enjoy my chiropractic visits!!
I've been a patient of Dr. Hoy's for 17 years. I had waited a year and a half from the original injury before knowing a chiropractor was an option. Our family wasn't too versed in therapeutic rehabilitation so of course I went to a physician for an examination of the problem. Thank goodness the doctor knew of chiropractic medicine and had gone to Dr. Hoy herself with excellent results. Because I had waited, my body was compensating and shifting in many areas. Dr. Hoy did an exam and was so conscious of my situation, he told me he was going to study my chart so he would approach it in the most effective way. Silly me, I went to a job of telephone work (with no headset) right after/ my clavicle started to squish my vein coming from my heart and I was getting faint at work.
I phone Dr. Hoy and he advised me to leave work and not to return until we had started treatment. I started seeing him everyday for 2 weeks, then 3 times, then 2 times; to once a week for many years. This may seem a lot but I was in pain 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. I remember the first day I was without pain; it was 3 ½ years into my treatments and for once I felt 'normal,' even human again.
Even though daily activity would put my back into the old patterns, we had finally figured out the puzzle. I've been coming to him ever since because he knows all of my areas of concern that occasionally still do shift and subluxate. But 1 or 2 visits and it's back to pain free. I also have followed his tips for sleeping, body placement posture, and body maintenance. He's just a wealth of information which he shares quite freely. Thanks for Westside Wellness Centre for their great support.
I did some work for Dr. Domingo at his house and he noticed my poor posture and stiff movements, and suggested I get it looked at. I went to see him and found out my feet were all messed up and were causing my hips to go out and my spine followed suit. Being a painter and on my feet all day, my new orthotics and 'new' back are keeping me at work and away from the couch.
Early in 2005 I afflicted with severe headaches and vertigo. I had had a neck/shoulder injury from a few years prior, but had never had headaches before. The acute vertigo turned out to be an inner ear problem, and I was able to be treated for that. Being left with an 'off balance' feeling and difficulty to concentrate, as well as still having the neck/shoulder injury, my massage therapist recommended Dr. Aaron Hoy to me. It was months before I went to see him because at the time I didn't like the idea of chiropractic. I have learned so much since being treated by Dr. Hoy. He has addressed my neck/shoulder injury and my thinking and concentration has become gradually clearer and clearer. He has also taught me to be much more in touch with my body and to learn new ways of moving that help to keep my body structurally sound. I have gone from not being able to work to embarking on a new career and loving it! I am very grateful to Dr. Hoy for his knowledge, skill and his contribution to my life.
My experiences with Chiropractic have led me to believe that pain means that there is something wrong. Rather than take painkillers to dull the pain, I would rather get to the root of the problem and get it fixed. Only Chiropractic care seems to do this. Dr. Hoy has always been extremely kind, caring and professional. Thank you Dr. Hoy, for taking care of me for almost twenty years!
I am a senior with advanced Osteoarthritis. Five years ago in despair, I arrived at Westside Chiropractic and Associates. I was helped even after the first visit.
I had been seeing specialists, doctors and physiotherapists without relief for ongoing leg, back and foot pain. Now, with regular maintenance care and a simple program designed specifically for my problems, Dr. Hoy has helped me to resume an active and pain free lifestyle.
Thank you for the wonderful care you provide, Dr. Hoy. Without regular adjustments, I would suffer greatly from the many accidents I have experienced. His work assists me in working out regularly—just enough that I remain flexible.Your ongoing gentle assistance to my healing is a blessing in my life. Anyone who basks in the light of you ministrations is in a good place.
I've seen Dr. Domingo for a number of ailments throughout the years, and he takes the time to get to the bottom of things and really explains things to me so I understand what's going on and how we can solve the problem. I've benefited from his care and have sent my kids and relatives to him to get straightened out!
'Dr. D is to the point and quite knowledgeable. I was referred by my sister and her kids, and I now know what 'normal' feels like and get tuned up regularly before anything gets out of hand.'
Results. I play soccer regularly and have kids to deal with along with my work which requires a lot of travel, so I can't afford to be hurt. Dr. Domingo has kept me going after a couple of car crashes and I am still active. He always gets me moving again when I seize up.
Dr. Domingo uses a variety of things on me, from manipulations and massage to electrotherapy and Spinal Decompression; whatever it took to get me back playing basketball. I had two disc herniations on opposite sides when we looked at my CT scans. I tried physio and not much success, and within a few months, Dr. D had me running again and playing basketball finally!
I had no idea what was wrong with my hip. It popped when I landed awkwardly playing hoops. Dr. Domingo evaluated it, treated it and I still wasn't able to play ball. He referred me out for x-rays and then we looked at them together. He noticed an irregularity and pointed it out to me. He researched it and came back to me with some bad news….I might need surgery to fix this. He directed me to UBC Sports Med and I'm waiting to see a surgeon to fix my hip. He continued to treat my hip to lessen my pain while I wait to see the surgeon. Thanks to Dr. Domingo, I may be able to play again soon, rather than wait months to even find out what's wrong with me.
I had back pain that went on for months. I went and got an MRI scan and found out I had bulging discs and a mildly herniated one. Dr. Domingo adjusted my back to the point where I don't feel pain anymore and can run daily. He also took the time to refer me to a specialist to deal with another problem, but he felt it might be related to my back condition. I just went to see that specialist and am getting that issue resolved.
I have been seeing Dr. Hoy for a few years now and I can't imagine my life
without him. I truly feel so lucky to have him on my team of trusted health
care professionals. Not only is he amazing but also his staff. They are very
friendly and truly care about each individual. Every time I go in, I am
always surprised at the instant relief and how much better I feel. Even when
I think I feel good, I go in for my regular check up, and end up feeling
even better. If you've ever been hesitant to see a chiropractor or not had
the best experience before, I can honestly say that Dr. Hoy is truly gifted
and very unique in what he offers. We are so lucky to have him in the
community and I highly recommend him. Thank you for all that you do Dr. Hoy!
Best Chiropractor! There is no one like Dr Hoy!
Dr Hoy has been my chiropractor since I moved to Vancouver when I was 15, and would never think about seeing anyone else!
Dr Hoy is absolutely amazing! I trust him with my life and have gone to see him many times barley able to move, walking out feeling a million times better.
He is very caring, tentative and intuitive with his patients, always willing to go above and beyond. When I see dr Hoy I know he is looking out for my overall health and will help me heal whatever puzzle I have brought to him.
I recommend Dr Hoy to all!!
Have a fabulous day!
Thank you,
Yeelen Mandev

Cowane's Hospital is one of Stirling's, and Scotland's, historic gems and is a wonderful place to hold an event, activity, meeting or celebration.
The beautiful hall and the gardens and bowling green are available for hire at reasonable rates. All funds raised from hiring the hospital go toward the running, upkeep and maintenance of the building.
Private viewings of the hall for schools, societies and others can be arranged for a small charge. A member of tour team can be available to give a guided tour and talk about the history of the almshouse, its founder John Cowane and our exciting plans for the future.
Please note that as we prepare for a major restoration project we are only able to cater for quite a small number, and limited types, of events bookings.
Once the work is complete we will have excellent new facilities available for activities of all kinds.
The restoration project will also mean that the hospital will be closed from the summer of 2018 to autumn 2019.
If you have any questions please get in touch.
For details our facilities click here. Please contact us for more details.

No Longer Visible?
A couple of years ago, I read and enjoyed David Sacks's book Language Visible: Unraveling the Mystery of the Alphabet from A to Z. It was a fun exploration of the history of the writing systems that preceded the English 26-letter alphabet, though it was definitely aimed at a popular rather than a technical (i.e. linguistics) audience. Recently I was browsing through the Linguistics section at my local bookstore and came across a more recent book that looked like it covered similar ground, titled Letter Perfect: The Marvelous History of Our Alphabet From A to Z. Before I bought it, though, I fortunately noticed that the cover design of Letter Perfect was suspiciously similar to that of Language Visible. It turns out they're the same book, which has been mysteriously retitled for the paperback edition.
What's up with that? Do publishers retitle books like this all the time and I've never noticed it? It seems like a bit of a deceptive practice.
I am The Tensor, and I approve this post.

Weird...I have a book at home called Language Seen: Retelling the Glorious Story of the Alphabet from A to Z. (not really)

Well, I bought Michael Quinion's Ballyhoo, Buckaroo and Spuds under the title Port Out, Starboard Home. The latter is the official title for the UK edition, the first for the US. You be the judge.

There is quite a history of renaming books for the US market. Perhaps most famously of late, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, but back in the day virtually all Agatha Christie's books got new names, and just recently Donna Leon's The Anonymous Venetian became Dressed for Death... In fact, Mark Ridley's Mendel's Demon was renamed for the US, probably looking to play of Dawkins' book, The Cooperative Gene...
In short, yes. It happens a lot, way too often, and you just have to be carefuly because you can't always get your money back!

I'm currently reading a fantasy series and halfway through the books have different titles from the original Australian release.
Posted by: EFL Geek at Jun 21, 2006 3:50:10 PM
I guess it's not uncommon for books to be retitled when they're published in different countries (e.g. that Sorcerer's Stone business), but in this case a U.S. hardcover book was retitled for its U.S. paperback edition.

Funny -- I too read and enjoyed Language Visible a few years ago and, last year, was likewise surprised to discover the book re-packaged under a new title. However, I noticed it on a shelf at Blackwell in Oxford, so maybe there is some truth to the US/UK title change? (I'm afraid I can't remember the British title.) Though, it still wouldn't make sense to publish a book in the US under one title, publish it in the UK under another, and then re-publish it back in the US again under the British title...

Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 125263
The ProtocolKeepAlives ssh option is not supported
Last modified: 2007-11-30 17:06:54 EST
Description of problem:
The ProtocolKeepAlives config option (~/.ssh/config) which does work
in Debian Woody 3.0 does not work in RHEL 2.1
We have NFS mounted home directories (on the RHEL machine) which are
mounted from multiple client machines including Debian 3.0 and RHEL
We need this keepalive option because we make a lot of connections to
machines behind isdn-dialup connections and we do not want the line to
drop halfway in the process.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
[seth@coltex-2 work]$ ssh -V
OpenSSH_3.1p1, SSH protocols 1.5/2.0, OpenSSL 0x0090602f
seth@lsintra:~$ ssh -V
OpenSSH_3.4p1 Debian 1:3.4p1-1.woody.3, SSH protocols 1.5/2.0, OpenSSL
How reproducible:
Put the following option in ~/.ssh/config
ProtocolKeepAlives 20
make an ssh connection to a remote machine.
Actual results:
[seth@coltex-2 work]$ ssh remotehost
/users/home/seth/.ssh/config: line 1: Bad configuration option:
/users/home/seth/.ssh/config: terminating, 1 bad configuration options
Expected results:
seth@lsintra:~/.ssh$ ssh remotehost
seth@remotehost's password:
Additional info:
ProtocolKeepalives are a third-party patch incorporated by Debian.
Current versions of OpenSSH have keepalives (ServerAliveInterval,
ServerAliveCountMax, ClientAliveInterval and ClientAliveCountMax) and
Debian has dropped the ProtocolKeepAlive patch (although though they
kept the old options as compatibility aliases for the "official" options.
Well, the options you mentioned above do not work in the RHEL 2.1
distribution. So that doesn't get me any further.
I want to have keepalive support in the 2.1ES distribution. Upgrading
to ES3 is not an option for me, and using a selfcompiled option breaks
support and up2date.
[seth@coltex-2 .ssh]$ ssh lsinet
/users/home/seth/.ssh/config: line 1: Bad configuration option:
/users/home/seth/.ssh/config: terminating, 1 bad configuration options
those are sshd options, not ssh. they go in the sshd_config file for
the daemon, not the client's config file.
Closing as there has been no activity for many months, and this appears to have
been explained as not a bug.
Thanks for the explaination, BTW!

Prenatal period and delivery
Seppo Heinonen and his study group evaluate perinatal and genetic epidemiology, and also risk factors and markers for most common obstetrical and perinatal complications, and how these factors have an effect on the perinatal outcome s. The scientific interests of the group have shown a variety from clinical perinatology to experimental studies, from genetic epidemiology and background of diseases to gene therapy. Considering the research interests, it has mainly focused in an area between obstetrics and gynecology. International collaboration of the group includes PREBIC, which is a WHO-related research umbrella focusing on the etiology and epidemiology of preterm birth, and HY-immunity in recurrent miscarriages, a project looking at immunological aspects of recurrent miscarriage and a variety obstetric complications. The focus of the research is now shifting from genetics and molecular biology and from experimental research to clinically oriented research and genetic epidemiology. To this aim, the Kuopio Birth Cohort (KuBiCo) has started few years ago and will probably be active and functional over the years and even decades to come in terms of the collection of the children's follow up data. The aim is to study the effects of prenatal exposure to child's subsequent health by collecting data on different prenatal exposures and combining these data to the information available on child's subsequent health.
Seppo Heinonen, Prof and Chair, Dept of OB/Gyn
Seppo Heinonen and Leea Keski-Nisula: Pregnancy is important time period for expecting mother and her unborn children in terms of forthcoming health. The future health of the offspring is strongly programmed already in utero during pregnancy. However, we still know poorly these early effects, and thus perinatal and prenatal periods are under eager investigations. We have collected data in birth register database in Kuopio University Hospital systematically from 1989, which is quite early and extraordinary when comparing other Finnish Birth hospitals. Birth register database has been actively used in various researches as well as has been in daily usage in practical clinical work. Dr. Kaisa Raatikainen did her Doctoral Dissertation from Birth Register Database (Kaisa Raatikainen: Health Behavioural and Social Risks in Obstetrics), but also many other publications (Leena Georgiadis and Maija Harju) and study reports (medical students) are published. More than ten years we have done research collaboration with National Institute for Health and Wellfare to evaluate different prenatal and perinatal environmental risk factors for future health of the offspring; the main interest in these studies has been to study the effect of early environmental factors in the development of allergies, atopy and asthma (PASTURE- and LUKAS-studies). In our own works we have observed how perinatal factors play a significant role in the development of asthma among offspring later. In KuBiCo-cohort our main aim is to obtain large and affluent database of 10 000 mothers and their children to study protective prenatal effects in the future health of the mother, but also offspring.

Lufthansa Unveils "Business Class Signature Service"
Beginning September 1st, Lufthansa's long-distance international flights are going to become a lot more luxurious. The new business class service is set to create a more individual and comfortable experience for business class travelers. Lufthansa's Chairperson and CEO Carston Spohr described the service as a "restaurant-style services where flight attendants introduce themselves to the passengers and take care of the same group or passengers on the flight."
The service is set to increase the crew-to-passenger ratio to one flight attendant tending to the needs of up to eight business class passengers. Meals will be individually delivered to passengers straight from the kitchen – removing the awkward cart-delivery system. Spohr explains that it's all part of a growing market and competition for higher-quality experiences in business class and first class flights.

Transforming the Jewish Community
North American Jewish community federations decided years ago that it was time to change the way they relate to one another and the rest of the Jewish world.
Last week in Atlanta, the formal transformation began to take shape.
But its real effects may take years to reverberate throughout the United Jewish Communities, which represents nearly 200 federations and some 400 independent communities.
People generally "have a feeling" that a change is afoot, but "they don't know what it is," Richard November, the president of the Jewish Community Federation of Richmond, said at the end of the UJC's inaugural event here.
The UJC, formed through the merger of the Council of Jewish Federations and the United Jewish Appeal, became legal Nov. 17, according to papers filed with New York State.
The event capped off more than six years of deliberations over how to promote efficiency and give communities a greater say in the way the funds they raise are allocated for Jewish needs at home and abroad.
As more than 5,200 delegates from North America and Israel converged on the southern capital, the UJC's governing bodies met for the first time, beginning the business of reorganizing a social-service and fund-raising system that raised $790 million in the 1999 annual campaign.
But for all of the structure now in place, much of the groundwork still lies ahead.
The key to the merger is federation "ownership" of the system, with federations making up the majority of representatives on the UJC's governing boards and committees.
Even among the federations' volunteer and professional leaders, however, no clear consensus exists on what the UJC should aspire to do.
Moreover, the federations have yet to define what ownership entails, actively and financially.
To shape the UJC's future course, a two-day retreat for representatives from all member federations is being planned for next spring. Discussions of what is being termed "critical governance issues" — such as dues, responsibility for supporting overseas needs, decision-making and defining UJC's aims and scope of activity — will provide the basis for the UJC's future bylaws.
The retreat idea grew out of interviews conducted among 130 federation presidents and executives over the past month by McKinsey & Company, a New York-based management-consulting firm.
The McKinsey report, made public at the General Assembly here, found that "clearly articulated priorities and a vision of what UJC will be and accomplish have not been embraced by the system."
As one interviewee, quoted in the report, put it, "You can't start using a road map if you haven't decided where you are going."
Federations agreed that "a national system is needed to enhance the effectiveness of local federations," but differed on its role, McKinsey found.
Some of the people interviewed envision the UJC as a kind of "trade organization" for federations, providing a way for communities to work together on common issues.
Others believe the organization should take the initiative in setting a continental Jewish agenda.
The interviews also revealed a tension between overseas relief and local needs, an issue that was one of the driving forces behind the merger of the UJC's predecessor organizations.
But Charles Bronfman, the philanthropist who serves as the UJC's first chairman, told the first meeting of the 123-member Board of Trustees that "this is not simply a merger. This is a new institution."
Joel Tauber of Detroit, the chairman of the executive committee, counseled patience. Noting that 1,000 board and committee appointments have already been made, he said at a news conference that the definition of ownership "was left aside because it is so controversial."
Bronfman said that even though questions remain, the high attendance level at the UJC's kickoff event was "an indication of the tremendous groundswell of interest and the desire to be part of it."

The men and women who serve our country and potentially put themselves in harm's way to defend it deserve our thanks.
In my current job as Commissioner, I represent a large number of veterans, old and young. They come from all backgrounds and have experienced so much.
However, too many veterans are left in limbo - stuck in bureaucracies that don't sufficiently help them get jobs, get treatment, or get the simple benefits they were promised.
This shouldn't just a be mission statement for those in Congress. It's our obligation to make sure we're living up to our promises to our veterans. It's a promise I will keep.
To those serving and to those who have served - thank you. Not just today, but every day.
- Melissa

Warranty: National Public Seating 10 Year Warranty Handled by efurnitureMax Learn More
The 300 Series offers the toughest folding chairs from National Public Seating. Featuring triple brace technology, these folding chairs are meant to last forever - backed by an amazing 10 year warranty! Pick from blue, beige, grey, brown, or black powder coated finishes to match your environment.
Why is National Public Seating known for their folding chairs? Two Things: High Quality & Customer Service. Constructed from 18-gauge steel, each folding chair features a heavy duty frame built for commercial use. The reinforced cross braces allow the chair to hold the heaviest loads while preventing leg warping over time. Smooth-gliding double hinges provide both support and protection against hinge-breakdown after long term folding and unfolding. You can't find folding chairs of this quality anywhere else without paying nearly double the cost. And when it comes to customer service, National Public Seating will back your folding chair up for 10 years, even under commercial use.
These chairs are really tough. Had ours about 5 years and purchased additional ones through Efurnituremax. We've never had an issue with them and they're really affordable. We got a bit of a price break because we ordered 100, so definitely ask for a bulk discount. Also, we wanted a dolly and they do carry them, but it was a special order item so they ordered it for us. It came in about a week so it was pretty fast.

As a member of the Primack Lab, all of my projects explore the effects of climate change on the timing of seasonal biological events.
Birds and Fruit: Compared to spring events, autumn events have received little attention in climate change and phenology research. However, autumn events like fruit ripening and autumn bird migration have important ecological function; birds use fleshy fruits to fuel migration and in turn they act as seed dispersers for plants. Our lab is working with Manomet in Plymouth, MA to determine how warming temperatures affect fruit ripening dates, and how phenology changes and species invasions interact to change fruit availability for migrant songbirds.
Arboreta to Herbaria: I am also actively involved in using specimens from herbaria and living collections at arboreta to explore spatial, temporal, and phylogenetic variation in fruit ripening times, as well as how fruiting dates are affected by environmental change.
Chilling and Freezing: My work in the Primack Lab also includes using dormant twigs in lab experiments to investigate the environmental drivers of spring leaf out, as well as the relative risk of spring frost events for young leaves. In particular, I am interested in how the growing season lengths of native and invasive woody plant species will be affected by future changes in winter and spring climate.

I read sooooo many wonderful blog and websites regularly that it's hard to keep track of my RSS feeds and twitter followers and those I follow. There's a lot of great content out there and some very inspiring and motivating bloggers. I wanted to take a second to share with you some great content that has inspired me, is timely back to school information and that I feel you might enjoy.
Green Living is a great website out there stuffed full of green information, tips and resources. They aren't Green and Clean Mom BUT I like them, lots. They just posted on a sustainable reading movement that you can sign up for. I'm a huge fan of e-books and have regularly been utilizing EcoBrain and even written a review or two.
For you Al Gore fans, Lamarguerite wrote a great article that sums up three of Al Gore's points about the environmental challenges we face.
Shhh, I'm an Al Gore fan but don't tell the in-laws.
Super post about Healthy Green Pets over at 5MFGG that complements my post on making your own dog food for your pet and my Nutro dog food scare. My little cutie of a dog is doing well but we are having food issues. He's so picky it is driving me nuts.
Max Gladwell had a hit the nail on the head post about social networking and it boiling down to the product. Phew, thank goodness my product is Green and Clean Mom, ME and I stand behind Shaklee as a distributor, as mentioned in the More Hip than Hippie interview. I really enjoyed this article and hopefully you do to. Well, written and very true.
I've written about back to school and being healthy all week but Healthy Child Healthy World has an article about making the entire school year healthy. The article has some great resources for everyone to bookmark. Check it out and all the other resources, including the my favorite, The Blue Butterfly Program.
You can also check out my latest articles at Busy Mommy on Healthy Kids Vitamins, Natural Diaper Rash Remedies and a great Organic Drink for your green sprouts lunch this school year.
To a great weekend!
Why not? Great tips for free!

3 Beauty Trends To Brighten Up Winter
Winter has a few excuses to brighten things up but it can most certainly be dull with its cold weather focring people to wrap into warmest clothes regardless of its style points. So here is where beauty comes in and no one can take that away from you.
5 Beauty Trends For Brighter Winter
Galaxy Hair
Rainbow, Northern Lights, or galaxy hair. Call it whatever, it'll still going to catch attention and look gorgeous. If you are more into reds and pinks though, you could try a sunset color hair instead.
Colored Eyeliner
Colored eyeliner is easy to apply and you can do a lot if different things with it. Just choose the color you like and experiment a lot.
Unusual Lipsticks
Sure dark purple took over the brand product lines and dark red is the hit of the next Spring but if you're already tired of this trend get inspired by Rihanna's ever-changing lip color and choose an unusual lipstick color that suits you.

Notices regarding the use of inverter drives
- Maximum motor speed
The maximum motor speed depends on the motor specifications.
Please confirm the specifications of the manufacturer of your motor.
The specifications of TOSHIBA motors are as follows:
- Low speed operation
Generally motors need to reduce their output torque when operating under 30Hz.
The motors are cooled by fans mounted on their shafts, so when the motor speed decreases, the cooling efficiency also decreases.
Special motors for inverter drives don't need to reduce their output torque between 6 to 60Hz.
- Acceleration and deceleration time
In case of high speed operation, a larger acceleration/deceleration time should be selected.
When you set a short acceleration/deceleration time. you sometimes have the following problems:
While accelerating: Trip caused by overcurrent
While decelerating: Trip caused by overvoltage
We recommend to use the braking resistor for short time deceleration.
- Electromagnetic noise
The inverter is generating "electromagnetic noise".
If there are some high accuracy sensors or other sensitive equipment near the inverter drive, the inverter's noise may cause some trouble or a malfunction.
Electromagnetic noise can be avoided by installing an external noise filter or using a different wiring method.
- Harmonics
The inverter is generating "harmonics".
These harmonics sometimes cause a malfunction in other control equipment that is connected to the same power source.
Harmonics can be avoided by installing an external "reactor".
To decrease "harmonics", we recommend to install DC reactors in all our inverter models.
(NOTE: 100V input models require AC reactors.)

For forty years, I have been a professional magazine editor, freelance writer, and book author. I've started six magazines (city, regional, and national), was editor-in-chief of five inflight magazines, and was director of communications for AAA Colorado. Throughout my career, I have had to convey complex issues in clear, compelling, and engaging ways that attract and hold the interest of general readers.
Evidence of my success in these efforts includes the national recognition of two of my books: My co-authored men's health book, Facing Your Fifties, was included as one of only three health books in Publishers Weekly's Best Books of 2002; and Behind the Lines was included in Kirkus Reviews' Best Books of 2014. The Kirkus Starred Review included two quotes that are directly relevant to the Public Scholar Program's stated goal of funding projects by authors who can reach general audiences. One states, "Miller writes that his goal was to write for people 'who never read history books'; he accomplishes that splendidly, while also creating a work that scholars will admire." And, "An excellent history book that should catapult Miller to the top tier of popular historians." Additionally, Behind the Lines was a finalist in the history category of Foreword Reviews' international Indie Book of the Year 2014 Awards, which included eight other history finalists that were from university presses.
My passion for this CRB topic began when I learned about the CRB and Belgium from my grandfather, Milton Brown, who had been a CRB delegate, and from my grandmother, Erica Bunge Brown, who was a 22-year-old Belgian in 1914. When they died, I inherited their diaries, journals, correspondence, and photographs from those times.
During my research and writing of Behind the Lines, I relied on English translations of documents because I do not read German or Flemish (a Dutch derivative spoken in northern Belgium), and have only a cursory knowledge of French. I used standard scholarly procedures that I learned while earning a BA in history from the University of Denver, and from the previous research and writing of my first book, Stapleton International Airport: The First Fifty Years (Pruett Publishing, Boulder, 1983), which was described as "entertaining, informative, and pertinent" by Dr. H. Lee Scamehorn, professor of history at the University of Colorado at Boulder, in a 1984 review published in the Colorado Historical Society's magazine.
My scholarship is best represented by my work on Behind the Lines. I spent three full-time years researching and writing, including multiple trips to the Hoover Institution at Stanford, the Herbert Hoover Presidential Library in West Branch, Iowa, and the libraries of Princeton University. I've studied and/or collected the papers from more than fifty CRB delegates, as well as more than a hundred primary books and thousands of pages of primary source documents and letters related to World War I, the CRB, and Belgium. My indexing of materials has produced a card catalogue of 2,000 index cards and more than 500 pages of typed notes. Behind the Lines has six published pages of sources and 1,000 endnotes that fill twenty-eight published pages. (Behind the Lines was self-published because no traditional publisher could have completed it in 2014, the 100th anniversary of the start of World War I.)
My work has also been supported by scholars who have read Behind the Lines. Matthew T. Schaefer, the archivist at the Herbert Hoover Presidential Library, invited me to be one of four historians to speak at a one-day symposium on Hoover and the CRB. Dr. Branden Little, a well-respected humanitarian relief scholar and professor at Weber State University in Ogden, Utah, agreed to write the foreword to Behind the Lines. And Dr. George H. Nash, an eminent scholar and biographer of Herbert Hoover, agreed to be one of my two references for this application (the other is Dr. Little).

You've given your players strength training plans during the off-season, they've followed them and come back to you bigger and stronger. But now that you are into the preseason, with games only a few weeks away, you don't want them to continue to gain strength - it will throw their shot off, as they will be continually trying to adjust for changes in strength. Plus they should be sore enough from your basketball practices, and you don't want them so tired from pushing weights around that they can't give 100% in basketball practice.
But you also don't want them to lose all that strength they've built up over the past couple of months. So you want them to continue to do some strength training plan, just not one designed to build strength - you need to give them one designed to maintain the strength they already have.
The off season training plan they've been on should have focused on major muscle groups, with 2 or 3 exercises for each muscle group. The in-season training plan will still keep the focus on the major muscle groups, so that one exercise will work several muscles. But there will only be one exercise per group. You still want them to get a good workout, but they don't really push their muscles as hard in this plan - they'll maintain the strength they have built, but shouldn't see much of an increase.
And before we go any further, let me say that I am not a certified
strength coach - what I have here on this page is simply what I have
pieced together through my own research and experience. So please don't
take it as gospel.
If you want more information and a more detailed, thorough strength training plan for your players, try Strength Training for Basketball - a great book with training plans, advice and tips about training for the whole year.
You might also want to check out Vince Del Monte's No Nonsense Muscle Building Program for players that really need to add muscle (especially good for your skinny post players). It isn't specific to basketball, but rather specific to guys who want to increase strength and size quickly.
The warm-up needs to be dynamic - i.e., not the static, "strike the pose and hold it for 10 seconds" stretches are fine for after the workout but not before it. Warm-ups need to simulate to a less strenuous degree the movements the muscles will be doing during the workout.
Note that if you are having players perform the workout after a practice, they should be warmed up already and can skip straight to the exercises.
There are different ways to approach the active warm up.
The most common warm up:
But I think the better warm-up approach is to simply perform the circuit below as your warm up, using low weights and high reps to prepare the muscles to do some work. So instead of doing the circuit twice, players will do it three times, with the first time a arm up circuit.
1. Chin Ups
until exhaustion
Athletes jog or bike or skip for about five minutes to cool down muscles, then perform Static Stretches (hold for 10 seconds then switch). Be sure to stretch all muscles, moving the muscle into the stretch slowly, holding the stretch for 10 seconds, before releasing it slowly.
Consider this workout to be an addition to your overall basketball training program; maybe finish up practice a little early two days a week and have your players hit the weight room for half an hour. Be sure they work out with a partner and that the weight room is supervised.
I wouldn't have players on a training plan during the season if they didn't already complete an off season training plan - throwing any strength training plan at a player for the first time will likely make him stronger. Remember the goal in-season is to maintain, not build strength.
Use this strength training plan throughout the season to keep players strong - they'll feel better about themselves as athletes, and they'll perform better on the court.
Please Note: The exercises on this page are given only as reference and may not be appropriate for everyone - consult a certified athletic trainer before using this or any exercise routine with your players.
