All descriptions, illustrations and particulars issued by the Company in catalogues, price lists, advertising matter and specifications are by way of general description and approximate only and shall not form part of any contract or give rise to any liability on the part of the Company.
In the event of the Customer's order form containing special printed conditions, the order will only be accepted on the understanding that those Terms of Service are not at variance with our own or that, where there is any variance, such Terms of Service have been waived by the customer. The Customer's acceptance of the delivery of the Goods shall be deemed to establish acceptance of our Terms of Service.
An order is only confirmed once an email has been sent from ESTechnical confirming the order. A binding contract will come into existence upon acceptance by us of your order.
The Customer shall be responsible to the Company for ensuring the accuracy of the terms of any order (including any applicable specification) submitted by the Customer, and for giving the Company any necessary information relating to the Goods within a sufficient time to enable the Company to perform the Contract in accordance with its terms.
All prices are stated in £ sterling, Euro or USD and, unless otherwise specified, are 'ex works' in accordance with the current issue of Incoterms, subject to the express provisions herein, and are subject to alteration without notice. All final Sales are in £ sterling. Goods will be invoiced at the prices ruling at date of despatch. ESTechnical is not a VAT registered company so VAT is not charged. Prices are exclusive of tax, duty, tariff or charge arising in the UK or elsewhere.
Unless otherwise specified, all quotations are valid for thirty days and orders placed thereon are subject to acceptance by the Company. The Seller shall sell and the Customer shall purchase the Goods in accordance with any quotation or offer of the Seller which is accepted by the Customer, or any order of the Customer which is accepted by the Seller, subject in either case to these Conditions, which shall govern the Contract to the exclusion of any other Terms of Service subject to which any such quotation is accepted or purported to be accepted, or any such order is made or purported to be made, by the Customer.
Bank Charges / Administration Costs
Any bank charges arising from customers' payment of invoices will be for the account of the customer and will not be accepted by the Company.
Orders may not be cancelled without written notice from the customer and our written consent.
Refunds can only be made via the means used for the original purchase.
Owing to improvements in design and possible changes in the source of supply, which may be subject to change without notice, we reserve the right to accept orders only to the extent of available stocks and product lines and to supply products to specification and design current at the date of despatch. Goods offered ex-stock are subject to the Goods being unsold at the date of receipt of any order.
Shipping and Handling
All Goods are despatched by courier; prices are based on weight of the Goods ordered and will be added automatically at the time of purchase. If, however, you feel the amount added for shipping is inappropriate or would like to use your own courier service, please contact us.
We aim to deliver your order right away. Occasionally we may take a little longer, especially at busy times. The Company shall not be liable for any delay in delivery of Goods howsoever caused. If we are out of stock and cannot obtain the item in a few days we will endeavour to contact you to let you know what is happening. If you are concerned about your order for any reason then please let us know.
Risk and Property
Risk of damage to or loss of the Goods shall pass to the Customer in the case of Goods to be delivered elsewhere at the time of delivery or, if the Customer wrongfully fails to take delivery of the Goods, the time when the Company has tendered delivery of the Goods.
Notwithstanding delivery and the passing of risk in the Goods, or any other provision of these Conditions, property in the Goods shall not pass to the Customer until the Company has received payment in full including all the interest and other costs due it.
Back Orders
If your item is not in stock, we will back order for you. You will always be emailed with the option to cancel your order if you would rather not wait.
Export Deliveries
In respect of all contracts for sale of Goods or execution of work outside the United Kingdom, the customer will provide any necessary export licences, import licences or exchange control authorisations within a reasonable time. The customer is responsible for all import duties.
Customs, Duties, and Taxes
The recipient of an international shipment may be subject to customs brokerage fees, import duties, and taxes after the shipment reaches the destination country. Additional charges are the responsibility of the recipient because we have no control over these government-imposed charges and cannot determine what they may be. Customs policies vary greatly among countries. Please contact your local customs office for information.
Damage or Loss in Transit
The Goods shall be at the sole risk of the customer from the time that they leave our premises or upon the expiration of any free period of storage, whichever shall first occur. The Company shall not be liable for any loss which the Company is precluded from recovering from a carrier by reason of the Customer's failure to give the notice necessary for such recovery. Both the carriers and ourselves are to be advised of any damage or breakage within 3 days of receipt of the Goods and, in the event of short or non-delivery, both the carriers and ourselves are to be advised in writing within 14 days from receipt of invoice.
Liability and Warranty
The Company does not exclude or limit liability for death or personal injury arising from negligence. The Company warrants Goods and services against departures from its usual standards and specifications and defects in materials and workmanship becoming apparent under normal use within six months of delivery provided:
i) such defects are notified to the Company within 28 days of becoming apparent;
ii) the Company shall not be liable for design defects, consequential loss, any excess in total claims over the contract price, technical assistance which it is not contractually bound to provide, breach of industrial property rights of which it is not aware in respect of designs provided by the customer and loss caused by delay;
Iii) the Company shall be under no liability in respect of any deficit arising from fair wear and tear, wilful damage, negligence, abnormal working conditions, failure to follow the Company's instructions (whether oral or in writing), misuse or alternation or repair of the Goods without the Company's approval.
The express warranties herein are given in lieu of all other express or implied warranties, conditions in respect of quality, fitness and the like and guarantees, save those arising under the Sale of Goods Act 1983.
It is the Customer's responsibility to establish that the Goods ordered are adequate an suitable for the purpose for which they are required and no liability whatsoever is accepted should the Goods not prove adequate or suitable for that purpose.
If any Goods or services do not comply with the above warranty, the Company will, at its reasonable option, replace the same, rectify the breach, refund the appropriate part of the price (having regard to any benefit already enjoyed in respect thereof) or take back Goods. In no case shall our liability exceed the cost of the original invoice.
Force Majeure
The Company shall be excused non or late delivery directly or indirectly caused by or made fundamentally more onerous by events or circumstances beyond the Company's reasonable control, including but without limitation supplier's delays and trade disputes whether of the Company's employees or otherwise. For the purposes of this condition, "Force Majeure" shall mean natural phenomena, acts of government, Act of God, war, riot, earthquake, accidents or disruptions, strikes and industrial disputes, transport difficulties or any other cause whatsoever not under our control.
All invoices shall be payable in accordance with agreed terms of payment. Payments may only be made in the stipulated currency unless otherwise agreed by the Company. Cheques should be remitted to the Company's primary address or credited directly to a Bank account as specified by the Company. Payment will only be deemed to be complete following satisfactory clearance of such payments. In the event of payment deadlines being exceeded, the Company will be entitled to charge interest on overdue accounts or unpaid balances at a rate of not less than 3% above LIBOR. Any retention or reduction of payments due to viable commercial complaints will only be permitted with our approval in writing.
Credit Card Security
Credit card payments are made in real time, and no card numbers are downloaded at any time and are not held by the Company in any form. Credit card payments are made through PayPal, an external payment provider.
Remittance Terms
All orders must be paid in advance (except for certain official bodies and companies by prior arrangement).
Reservation of Title
Title in the Goods shall not pass to the customer until payment in full has been received by the Company. Until such time the customer shall keep the Goods as the Company's bailee and trustee, shall ensure that the Goods are stored in such a way as to enable them to be identified as the property of the Company and shall keep the Goods insured against all normal risks with our interest noted therein.
Returns Policy
The return of Goods is governed by our Returns Policy.
Governing Law
These Terms of Service shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of England and Wales, whose courts shall have exclusive jurisdiction. If any provision of these Terms of Service is invalid or unenforceable, such will not render all the Terms of Service unenforceable or invalid but rather the Terms of Service will be read and construed as if the invalid or unenforceable provision(s) are not contained therein. Any cause of action of yours with respect to these Terms of Service must be filed in a court of competent jurisdiction in London, England, within one year after the cause of action has risen, or such cause will be barred, invalid and void.

I love butternut squash. I better. My winter CSA has already sent several butternut squashes in our bi-weekly boxes and I have butternut squash coming out of my ears. I had been recently toying with the notion of making butternut squash ravioli, but then when the slightly easier comfort of a butternut squash lasagna entered my mind, I knew this would be the direction I headed.
Long ago, I had seen Giada DeLaurentiis make this lasagna on her show. I kept it in the back of my mind, but remembered she had used some inferior products such as no-boil lasagna sheets and pre-shredded mozzarella cheese. I decided to go all out and make fresh pasta (I had plenty of extra yolks on hand that needed to be used) as well as using fresh mozzarella, which just has such a superior flavor and texture.
Using my mixer to both mix and roll out the pasta sheets is a huge time saver. I have made pasta by hand and rolled it out the almost-old-fashioned way in a hand cranked machine, but once you've utilized your stand mixer to its full potential, you won't want to go back. Trust me. It makes making your fresh pasta the easiest part of this entire process. Well, almost.
The fresh egg yolk-enriched pasta is layered with vibrant butternut squash puree, green-hued basil-bechamel sauce, chunks of melty and chewy fresh mozzarella, and topped with a final layer of tender pasta, mozzarella, and salty Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese. The lasagna isn't nearly as rich as it sounds because the squash puree really lightens it up. The bechamel isn't overly rich as well, especially if you use a lighter milk as I did.
I served the lasagna with a light salad composed of baby spinach and pea greens (also from my CSA) tossed lightly with a homemade Dijon-balsamic vinaigrette. The acid from the vinaigrette and freshness of the greens were the perfect balance to complement this creamy layered pasta. Everyone had second helpings. Enough said.
Butternut Squash Lasagna
Makes 8 to 10 servings
(Adapted from Giada DeLaurentiis)
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 (1 1/2 to 2-pound) butternut squash, peeled, seeded, and cut into 1-inch cubes
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup (2 oz) unsalted butter
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
3 1/2 cups milk
Pinch nutmeg
3/4 cup (lightly packed) fresh basil leaves
1 lb fresh lasagna noodles, boiled to al dente (will only take a couple minutes)*
1 lb fresh mozzarella, chopped
1/4 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano
Heat the oil in a heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the squash and toss to coat. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Pour the water into the skillet and then cover and simmer over medium heat until the squash is tender, stirring occasionally, about 15 to 20 minutes. Cool slightly and then transfer the squash to a blender or food processor and puree. Season the squash puree, to taste, with more salt and pepper.
Melt the butter in a heavy medium-size saucepan over medium heat. Add the flour and whisk for 1 minute. Gradually whisk in the milk. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer until the sauce thickens slightly, whisking often, about 5 minutes. Whisk in the nutmeg. Cool slightly. Transfer half of the sauce to a blender**. Add the basil and blend until smooth. Return the basil sauce to the sauce in the pan and stir to blend. Season the sauce with salt and pepper, to taste.
Position the rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 375 degrees F.
Lightly butter a 13-by-9-by-2-inch glass baking dish. Spread 1/2 cup of the sauce over the prepared baking dish. Arrange a few lasagna noodles (depending on their size) on the bottom of the pan. Spread 1/4 of the squash puree over the noodles. Sprinkle with 1/5 of the mozzarella cheese cubes. Drizzle 1/2 cup of sauce over the noodles. Repeat layering until you have a total of 4 layers exactly like the first one. Top with a final (fifth) layer of noodles.
Tightly cover the baking dish with foil and bake the lasagna for 20 to 25 minutes until bubbly. Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses over the lasagna. Continue baking uncovered until the top is golden, 15 minutes longer. Let the lasagna stand for 15 minutes before serving.
*For the noodles, I adapted Thomas Keller's 7 Yolk Pasta recipe from The French Laundry Cookbook. I tweaked a few ingredients and made mine in my Kitchenaid mixer fitted with the dough hook and then rolled out the dough with my Kitchenaid pasta roller attachment to the #5 thickness setting. Then I cut my noodles into lengths just smaller than my pan, as they would expand when boiled. Once boiled, I laid them on lightly olive oiled sheet pans to keep them from sticking while I assembled my lasagna. For more details on mixing and rolling out the pasta dough (as well as an alternative pasta recipe that uses whole eggs as opposed to mainly yolks), feel free to check out my Zucchini Lasagna recipe.
**When blending hot liquids: Remove liquid from the heat and allow to cool for at least 5 minutes. Transfer liquid to a blender or food processor and fill it no more than halfway. If using a blender, release one corner of the lid. This prevents the vacuum effect that creates heat explosions. Place a towel over the top of the machine, pulse a few times then process on high speed until smooth.

text: Private hospitals all across Thailand have threatened to stop treating injured workers covered by the Workmen's Compensation Fund because they claim that the state has been too slow in reimbursing them for treatment costs. A committee under the Social Security Office runs the fund, which promises to pay hospitals for treating workers who are covered by the scheme. But the hospitals claim that in practice, reimbursement takes too long and the money is not always paid in full. There has been an agreement by the Association of Private Hospitals, which represents 112 hospitals, not to continue contracts with the fund. Beginning Jan 1 next year the the employers will be directly charged by the hospitals for their workers' medical expenses. The association's deputy chairman, Nopadol Nopakun, has said that the problem has reached the point of being unbearable. The group said that it unsuccessfully sought a meeting to discuss the problem with the labour minister. Nopakun said that this showed the government paid no attention to the needs of private hospitals. The government also had not increased the ceiling of payments for medical treatment for 11 years, which left some private hospitals out of pocket. The Office of the Workmen's Compensation Fund, in defense of its actions, said it needed time to carefully consider the appropriate amount of money to be paid to the hospitals.

Many years ago I read a Taoist quote by the old sage Lao Tzu:
"A man is born gentle and weak. At his death he is hard and stiff.
Green plants are tender and filled with sap. At their death they are withered and dry.
Therefore the stiff and unbending is the way of death. The gentle and yielding is the way of life."
I was reminded of it recently when I was sent the following short film of 1948 Olympic Gymnast George Weedon, aged 91.
The video is just wonderful and in it, George extols the virtues of having good posture and fitness in order to get the best out of one's body. As blunt as he can be with the creator of the video a couple of times (which did make me chuckle – he's so old school), there's something so incredibly inspiring about our George, his outlook on life and ageing, his take on the modern world and how sitting at a computer for 8 hours a day just isn't right goddamn it.
It saddens me to see so many people succumb to the impact of the modern age and old age – rounded shoulders, humped upper backs, sagging lower (sway) backs, tight hips, tight hamstrings… it's not even just working at desks and using a computer all day that leads to all these, but the images we are bombarded with day after day that increase insecurities about body image and result in people feeling uncomfortable and awkward in their own skin. Women (and men) with large breasts quite often round their upper spines to bring their chests in in an effort to make them lest prominent; the same with bellies. People who feel self conscious and awkward and vulnerable often hunch forwards in an effort to make themselves less visible and less exposed, curling into a primitive foetal position for protection and some sense of safety. Your psychology becomes your physiology. And I haven't even mentioned the impact of stress…
The more the patterns persist, particularly as we get older, the tighter the muscles and fascia become, leading to the hard and stiff bodies Lao Tzu refers to. Tight hamstrings pull the pelvis backwards, leading to an even more pronounced sway back, in turn rolling the shoulders increasingly forward, impacting the ability to breathe. I mentioned in an earlier post the impact of yoga on the breath – something picked up on by George in the video. The taller you're able to stand (which requires supporting muscles to become long enough to be able to move into a different position and strong enough to hold the position), the more breath or prana you allow into the body, leading to increased oxygenation and higher levels of energy.
There is the wonderful feedback loop that happens where chicken and egg and which came first becomes unclear and unimportant. Just the very act of standing tall – and to stay standing tall – can lead to feeling poised and confident, and feeling so helps you to maintain the posture. Standing tall means you are visible, you are prepared to be seen and in turn see the world in a different way.
I believe it is not only important to stay strong and flexible within the physical body as we get older, so too should we stay flexible in our minds and avoid becoming prisoners of our own belief systems, be they about ourselves or others. There is a parallel between working on understanding the self, its patterns and its origins and trying to create or cultivate more positive ones, and understanding the body's patterns, identifying the tight and weak spots and working to release them. Just as engaging in personal development allows you to gain awareness of the psychological and emotional shackles that weigh us down as we make our way from birth to death, so too does engaging in physical development – both permitting us to move forward in lighter, less hindered ways. As George says in the video, you don't even need expensive equipment, just a more creative way of utilizing the environment around you. Or a yoga mat.

Contact: M. Colette Nies, Managing Director, Communications

Glenview, IL—The General Board of Pension and Health Benefits (GBPHB) recently announced successful results from ongoing corporate engagements in the areas of board diversity, human rights and other environmental, social and governance issues (ESG).
Ongoing Shareholder Engagements
GBPHB directly encourages companies to adopt more environmentally sensitive and socially just business policies that are transformative in supporting a more sustainable future for companies and society as a whole. GBPHB's experience demonstrates that the agency has significantly greater influence when it remains engaged with companies and active in drawing attention to these important issues—rather than selling its shares and walking away.
GBPHB, an original signatory of the United Nations Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI), along with its U.S. and international sustainable investment partners, plays a privileged role in influencing positive change by large global companies.
Helping Place Women on Boards
Board diversity—specifically the inclusion of women on boards—remains an area of focus for GBPHB. GBPHB's Wespath Investment Management division (Wespath) believes that diversity is a key attribute of a well-functioning board and demonstrates a measure of sound corporate governance. Research1 has shown that companies with diverse boards exhibit a stronger mix of leadership skills and improved understanding of consumer preferences (women control more than two-thirds of consumer spending in the U.S.2)—both are linked to better stock market and financial performance.
GBPHB's corporate engagement efforts promoting board diversity have successfully influenced Comcast and Simon Property Group (S&P 500 companies) to increase the number of female directors on their corporate boards. These positive actions taken by the two companies recently resulted in Wespath withdrawing the shareholder resolutions it filed with the companies.
Simon Property Group, one of the largest real estate companies and owner of shopping malls in the U.S., also agreed that it would amend its director qualification policy by explicitly including women and minorities—as requested in the Wespath shareholder resolution. Wespath also withdrew a resolution filed with Equifax, when the company committed to adding a woman to its board in 2017.
U.N. Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights
Wespath engages with the management teams of many of the companies in which it invests to address human rights and other ESG issues, recognizing that these dialogues often lead to changes in business practices that ultimately benefit investors. Across its investment engagements, the agency encourages companies to adopt the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (Guiding Principles), in keeping with the call of The United Methodist Church General Conference 2012 (petition 21071).
Wespath's human rights engagement has included Caterpillar—a company that has come under scrutiny because of the use of its products in the Israeli settlements in the Palestinian territories. Caterpillar recently announced that, in alignment with the Guiding Principles, it has expanded its human rights policy; provided more detailed reporting on the policy implementation to its board; and conducted a human rights impact assessment across its entire value chain, including its suppliers and dealers.
As an engaged investor, Wespath has a 'seat at the table' with companies and can play an influential role in encouraging them to address human rights and other ESG issues. Engagement helps to transform companies in ways that help make them more sustainable for the future, and that are in the long-term best interest of the clergy, lay workers and institutional investors the agency serves.

An exercise to inspect a simulated nuclear test site is to be conducted from 1 to 12 November 2010, beside the Dead Sea in Jordan. A team of more than 35 international experts has been assembled by the Preparatory Commission for the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty Organization (CTBTO). They will determine whether a nuclear test explosion was conducted by a fictitious country in violation of the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty (CTBT) that outlaws all nuclear explosions.
Jordan is hosting the exercise, to be played within a 1000 square km zone beside the Dead Sea. It is located about 50 km south of Amman and extends to Karak.
On-site inspections can be requested only after the Treaty enters into force.
CTBTO Executive Secretary Tibor Tóth said that on-site inspections were the final layer in the Treaty's verification regime to make sure that no nuclear explosion goes undetected. "Facts gathered directly on the ground during an inspection help States to establish whether or not a nuclear explosion did indeed take place," Tóth said.
Director of the Exercise, Matjaž Prah, said that the focus of the simulation is to "test ground visual observation techniques and communications, to help prepare inspectors and fine tune inspection methodology."

Maintaining a vegan diet means paying especially close attention to proper nutrition. Some nutrients that are plentiful in foods from animal sources occur less often in plant-based foods. Look for fortified foods to ensure that your family gets all the nutrition they need. Breakfast cereals fortified with vitamins and minerals offer a quick and tasty way to start the day with a nutritionally complete meal.
Dietary Needs
Plants do not produce vitamin B-12, yet your body needs it to survive. A healthy vegan diet requires supplements or foods enriched with added B-12 from nutritional yeast or fortified soy. Check the label on your box of cereal to see if it's enriched with B-12; if it isn't, choose a plant milk that contains the essential vitamin. Calcium, another vital nutrient, occurs naturally in green leafy vegetables, but chances are you won't be dicing kale into your breakfast cereal any time soon. Instead, look for fortified cereals or add calcium-rich almonds to the bowl. Look for cereals that contain flax seeds and walnuts for their omega-3 fatty acids. Cereals with oats give you extra protein.
Finding a Vegan Cereal
Whole-grain cereals with minimal processing typically contain only plant products, but read labels to ensure that all ingredients come from vegetable sources. Cross cereals that contain marshmallow bits or honey off the list; these products are vegetarian, but not vegan. Single-grain products such as puffed rice, flaked corn or shredded wheat fit with a vegan diet as long as they contain no honey or gelatin. Buy unsweetened cereals and add your own sweeteners or shop for flavors sweetened with sugar, maple syrup or fruit juice.
Non-Dairy Milk Products
A bowl of cereal is just a snack until you add milk to turn it into breakfast. Vegan families have a wide variety of milk options for their cereal. Supermarket dairy aisles now contain milk-like fluids made from soy, rice, almonds and coconuts. Each plant-based milk has its own flavor and texture, so sample a few to find out which one your family prefers. Pair almond milk with a walnut-almond cereal or try coconut milk and bananas with shredded wheat.
Hot Cereals
Hot cereals give your family a hearty and delicious change from cold cereal. Oatmeal, corn grits and farina feel more filling on a chilly morning than cold cereal, yet take little longer to prepare than a bowl of cold cereal. Some cold cereals double as hot cereals; while you wouldn't want to try it with crisp flakes, crunchy granola blends and granular prepared cereals heated with soy milk transform into a soft hot cereal. If you're buying pre-packaged instant hot cereals, read labels carefully; those packets may contain honey or powdered milk as flavorings.

In the darkest of hours a voice cries out from the scorched earth of the Arakan. Desperation has left a scar upon it that shapes it, molds it into the familiar tone of those who came before it. Hunger muffles its plea. Tears flow over its words as they fall over its breath like rain.
"Take me back to the killing fields", it pleads. "To where I can imagine life as it was when we did not bleed. Take me back to the world where rice grew in the fields and fish swam in the sea. Take me to time before the blade and bullet came for me.
"Take me there where I can rest in the warmth of the setting sun. Take me there where I once stood beneath the shade of tall old trees. Let me see my home once more. Let me hear the sound of my children play just one last time.
"Take back to a time when the rats didn't eat better than me. Take me back to that place where the buzzards didn't hover and wait for me to lay down and die. Let me know once more what it was like to live beyond death's shadow.
"Take me back to a time when my brothers and sisters were not memories. Take me back to that time before they were taken from me. Take me back to when I could remember their faces, their voices, their touch. Take me back to that place where we use to gather as one... where my family once felt like more than ancient history."
History has a way of repeating itself. It is a cruel yet dedicated teacher that will not relent. It attempts to show us where we have failed as a species. With its painful repetition it offers us chance after chance to learn from our mistakes. No amount of blood or misery will satisfy it. No amount of suffering can abate its curriculum or spare us our failures in learning from it.
The cry that comes out of the depths of Burma's most oppressed community are those same cries that echo throughout history. It is a plea for humanity that was lost upon the killing fields of Cambodia. It is a cry that was silenced by the jackboots during the Holocaust. It is a scream that was brutally crushed by the Young Turks as the Armenians were marched off to their deaths. And yet the same cry for help comes out of Burma once more. It calls upon the rest of mankind to step up and fulfill the promises we made after defeating the fascist in World War Two. It begs us to not forget those two words once again... never again.
"Take me back to the killing fields," it rasp voice screams. "But not as they are or as they will soon be. Take me back to the fields as they were before. With grass grown up and the crops swaying in the breeze. Let me loose there where I was once free. Let me live upon that soil once more where my ancestors once called home.
"Do not take me away from here to live in exile. Do not tell me to take to the sea when there is nowhere left to run. Do not pray for my safety in those little boats. Do not hope for the best while my brothers and sisters drown beneath those unforgiving waves.
"Take me back to the villages I once called home. Take me back to the streets I walked as a young man. Take me back to the mosque in which I once prayed. Let me live in peace as I did in those days before the fires, the fights, the mobs.
"Do not let hunger do to me what the mobs could not. Do not let my ribs break the flesh as I rot in the camps. Do not let me live like a skeleton draped in flesh. Please do not rob me of my dignity.
"Take me back to a place where I did not pray for crumbs. Take me back to a time when I did not pick through the weeds for dropped or discarded grains. Take me back to a time when I was not considered less than a dog that I might eat like a man and not scavenge through waste. Take me there so that I might live free... free of hunger... free of fear."
It has been said that those who do not learn from history are damned to repeat it. With Syria, Darfur, the Congo, and Burma we are living through it once more. There are more genocide occurring right now than were occurring at the time of the Holocaust. The number of dead might not be as high as that of what Hitler, Stalin, or Mao killed in their horrific deeds, but the crime is the same none the less.
For those in the West these crimes are treated as anomalies, as oddities that occur in distant lands. We tend to think of genocide as a crime against humanity that we ourselves could never suffer. Americans in particular picture genocide as a thing from which we rescue others.
History has a way of remedying that.
When the Nazis came for the communists,We never think these things can come home to where we live. We dream of them as perverse sins that stay put in the history books where they belong. And even for those who acknowledge their existence in our time, we often distance ourselves through the hope that we ourselves could never become their victims.
I remained silent;
I was not a communist.
When they locked up the social democrats,
I remained silent;
I was not a social democrat.
When they came for the trade unionists,
I did not speak out;
I was not a trade unionist.
When they came for the Jews,
I remained silent;
I wasn't a Jew.
When they came for me,
there was no one left to speak out.
But how long can societies last when they do not face the sins of their fathers? How long can we keep going if we do not recall the crimes that taint our own past? And if we never learn from our own mistakes than how do we ever prevent them from happening again?
There is not a single European nation that can stand before the world and say that it has never once participated or practiced genocide. America and Canada were built upon the genocide of the native peoples that once inhabited these lands. And yet the history of our forefathers' sins is vastly ignored by the masses that now inhabit these great countries.
It is only upon looking at how, why, and when we committed genocide that we realize the warning signs that came with those crimes. Once identified and taught a society can be prepared to prevent those same crimes from occurring once again.
In the West we learned our lessons from the Holocaust. We had to repeat genocide after genocide till it climaxed in the slaughter of millions of innocent victims. But we did learn the warning signs.
So why are we ignoring those very sings when they pertain to Burma? Or Syria? Or Darfur?
Perhaps it is just my paranoia, perhaps it is my own view of history that creates it...
But how long before the next government leaning toward ethnic cleansing realizes just how relaxed the world is on the issue and topples over into genocide? After all, all you need to do is look around and watch as country after country funds genocide after genocide without even a second thought. Morality, ethics... they both seem lost now days as world leaders pander to genocidal regimes to make a quick buck.
How long before a government of a developed nation starts to flirt with the idea of ridding themselves of "undesirables"?
Once again, my history with genocide might lend to my perceived paranoia of it, yet the question remains to be answered. History has a way of repeating itself. History has a way of forcing us to deal with an issue that we so desperately try to ignore. Genocide is just another portion of our history that we can not escape.
As long as we continue to ignore the cries echoing out of Burma we assure ourselves that we will have to face this sin once again. It is a crime that knows no borders. It is a crime that knows no boundaries. Genocide does not regard anything as sacred. It does not respect any given religion. It does not look up to any race or down upon any given level of degradation. And as long as we continue to ignore it in Burma, Syria, Darfur, and the Congo we assure ourselves that we will never truly be able to honestly say those two words... never again.

Should I reimburse virtual employees for mileage to the main office?
min read
Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own.Employers are not legally required to reimburse regular mileage for commuting to and from work--unless the employer has a contract in place
stating otherwise. So, this is a judgment call.
With gas prices what they are, if you are now requiring someone who has not previously been frequenting the main office to do so on a regular basis, it seems as though the fair thing to do would be to devise some offset so that telecommuting employees are not taking what to them is essentially a pay cut. This is especially true if you want to keep these "long distance virtual employees" happy and working effectively for your company. (The company must have a good business reason for having these telecommuting employees in the first place--e.g., specific and unique skill sets and capabilities).
If you do decide to reimburse officially designated "virtual employees" for their trips to the main office, you should create and disseminate a policy to all those so affected and communicate it to potential new telecommuting employees, too. You might want to specify that mileage over 40 miles each way will be reimbursed for employees officially designated as "virtual employees" who use their personal vehicles when
they are required by management to be at the main office. Or you may want to say that the company will reimburse all mileage for employees officially designated as "virtual employees" when they are required by management to be at the main office. It's up to you.
You can look up the government mileage reimbursement rate by going online. Input "CONUS rates" to your search engine and it will take you to www.gsa.gov. Then click on "Policy." Here's a quote from that site: "On June 23, 2008, the Internal Revenue Service announced an increase in the mileage reimbursement rate for privately owned automobiles to 58.5 cents per mile."

Hello everyone, As I suspected, the question seems to be more "do we allow anything on the web to run in a priority thread" rather than "do we allow web workers to run in a priority thread". Which means we probably should address issues such as [1] ASAP if we want to advance with audio running in a real-time thread. I think that implementing such a protection mechanism would also make it realistic to have audio workers run in priority threads, making it a better possibility to drop the latency requirement of the JS nodes, allowing them to play better together with the rest of the graph. [1] https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=18539 Cheers, JussiReceived on Monday, 20 August 2012 14:38:38 UTC

"It's not really one of those goals you set as a little boy, but, man, it's been quite a career. And quite a month." – Roger Federer, who won his sixth Wimbledon title, and 15th Grand Slam tournament crown, just four weeks after capturing his first French Open title.
"He's a legend. Now he's an icon." – Pete Sampras, talking about Roger Federer after the Swiss star broke Sampras' Grand Slam tournament victory record of 14 titles.
"Sorry, Pete, I tried to hold him off." – Losing finalist Andy Roddick, apologizing to compatriot Pete Sampras.
"I'd rather definitely be number two and hold three Grand Slams in the past year than be number one and not have any. I don't know what to do to be number one. I don't even care anymore." – Serena Williams, who won Wimbledon to go along with her 2009 Australian Open and 2008 US Open titles, yet is ranked number two in the world.
"Do I feel invincible? I'd like to say yes, but I really do work at it." – Venus Williams, after winning her semifinal but before losing the title match to her sister Serena.
"I think I will beat him in a marathon easy." – Robin Soderling, on meeting Roger Federer in another sport after losing to the Swiss star for the 11th straight time.
"Oh, it is only because he is better than everybody else. That's it." – Ivo Karlovic, when asked about Roger Federer's secret for success.
"I don't play to break records but it's great to have them." – Roger Federer.
"It's a wonderful achievement. She's played so well so many times. You know, a lot of the times actually at my expense." – Venus Williams, on her sister Serena winning an 11th Grand Slam tournament title by beating Venus in the final.
"There's no easy [way] to losing, especially when it's so close to the crown. Either way, it's not easy. " – Venus Williams.
"One of the first things I noticed was our name on the board, on the big plaque. Now we get it twice. It's obviously going to be special to come back next year and see that." – Daniel Nestor, after teaming with Nenad Zimonjic to win their second straight Wimbledon men's doubles title.
"It's a game of inches and when you're playing two guys who are serving close to 130 (mph), and you're not getting a lot of sniffs on your return, it's a dice roll. They were the better team today and I have to give them a lot of credit." – Bob Bryan, on losing the men's doubles final.
"I was Santa Claus on the court, serving so many double-faults." – Dinara Safina, after overcoming 15 double-faults to beat Sabine Lisicki in the quarterfinals.
"I wasn't sure if it's Serena or Andy Roddick on the other side of the net, 125 mph all the time." Elena Dementieva, on Serena Williams' big serves in their semifinal match.
"Venus played as if she had some place to go and she was in a major league hurry to get a great dinner." – Father Richard Williams, on Venus' 51-minutes semifinal victory over Dinara Safina.
"I think she gave me a pretty good lesson today." – Dinara Safina, after losing to Venus Williams in 51 minutes.
"I'm still scared of Serena Williams. I find her very intimidating." – Laura Robson, a 15-year-old from Britain, talking about the ladies' locker room at Wimbledon.
"Roof! Roof! Roof!" –Centre Court crowd chanting as the new retractable roof was closed for the first time when a light sprinkle interrupted play.
He had to work overtime to do it, but Roger Federer became the first man in history to win 15 Grand Slam tournament singles titles. His record-breaking 15th was the longest men's Grand Slam final in history at 77 games as Federer outlasted Andy Roddick 5-7 7-6 (6) 7-6 (5) 3-6 16-14. The previous record was 71 games in the 1927 Australian Championships, while the previous Wimbledon mark was 62 games last year when Rafael Nadal beat Federer. The Federer-Roddick battle also was the longest fifth set in a men's Grand Slam tournament final, breaking the old mark of 11-9 set in 1927 at Roland Garros. Federer served 50 aces, the most he has served in a match and only one behind Ivo Karlovic's Wimbledon record of 51 aces. Federer's previous best was 39 aces when he beat Janko Tipsarevic at the Australian Open in 2008.
Sisters Serena and Venus Williams tried to take home all of the hardware from Wimbledon. Serena beat Venus in the women's final, snapping the older sister's two-year reign at Wimbledon. The two then teamed up to win the women's doubles for the second time.
Ana Ivanovic will rest for at least a week after she suffered a slight tear in her left thigh during her fourth-round match at Wimbledon. The 2008 French Open champion left the court in tears after the first game of the second set against Venus Williams, who won the first set 6-1. Ivanovic is not scheduled to play again until August 3.
It took a brief shower, but Wimbledon showed off its new roof. With the crowd shouting "Roof! Roof! Roof!," the retractable roof over Centre Court was closed for the first time on the second Monday of the tournament. The light sprinkle had halted play during he second set of a match between top-ranked Dinara Safina and 2006 Wimbledon champion Amelie Mauresmo. By the time the roof was closed and the match resumed, the rain had stopped. But officials decided to keep the roof shut for the final match of the evening, Andy Murray beating Stanislas Wawrinka in a five-set match that ended at 10:39 p.m., more than an hour later than the previous record. Wimbledon joins the Australian Open as the only two Grand Slam tournaments with roofs. The Australian Open has roofs over its two main courts and plans to cover a third. The French Open plans on having a roof over its center court by 2011, while the US Open is looking into the possibility of covering a court.
Twenty-eight staff members at Wimbledon were asked to stay at home because they were suspected of having swine flu. Two players – Michal Mertinak and Filip Polasek – also showed symptoms of the world-wide ailment. Mertinak withdrew from the second round of the mixed doubles because he was not feeling well. The two players were sharing a hotel room in London. All England Club spokesman Henry O'Grady said that despite the precautions, no one at Wimbledon is known to have swine flu.
India's Prakash Amritraj and Pakistan's Aisam-ul-Haq Qureshi hope their recent play will allow them to form a full-time doubles partnership. In only their third tournament together, Amritraj and Qureshi reached the third round before falling to the fourth-seeded team of Mark Knowles and Mahesh Bhupathi 6-4 5-7 7-6 (3) 6-0. "I'm glad we had these two weeks as a team," Amritraj said. "I think we should take this partnership forward and we're definitely a team to be reckoned with."
Women's tennis is returning to New York's Madison Square Garden, if only for one night. Four top players will compete March 1 in the second Billie Jean King Cup featuring no-ad scoring, a one-set semifinal and best-of-three final. Serena Williams won the inaugural event earlier this year, besting her sister Venus in the final. The 2008 field also included Ana Ivanovic and Jelena Jankovic. This year's four Grand Slam tournament winners will be invited to participate in next year's tournament. Serena has won the Australian Open and Wimbledon, while Svetlana Kuznetsova captured the French Open.
Rafael Nadal won't be there when Spain's Davis Cup takes on Germany in a World Group quarterfinal. Nadal, who has been struggling with tendinitis in his knees, was left off the Spanish team, just as he was for last year's final, which Spain won by defeating Argentina. Spanish captain Albert Costa has named Fernando Verdasco, Tommy Robredo, David Ferrer and Feliciano Lopez for the tie that will be played on clay in Marbella, Spain, later this week.
Wimbledon quarterfinalist Ivo Karlovic and Marin Cilic will lead Croatia's Davis C up team against the United States. Croatia, which won the Davis Cup in 2005, will stage the tie on an indoor clay court in Porec, Croatia. Led by Wimbledon finalist Andy Roddick, the American team includes James Black and brothers Bob and Mike Bryan, marking the 12th time in the last 13 Davis Cup contests that the same quartet of players will be together. Croatia has beaten the United States twice in Davis Cup competition.
Andre Agassi will play World Team Tennis this summer for the Philadelphia Freedoms. He will play at home on July 10 against the Boston Lobsters and at Newport Beach, California, on July 17. While Agassi played World Team Tennis before – for the Sacramento Capitals from 2002-04 – there will be two veterans stars making their WTT debuts. Michael Chang will play for the Capitals, while Kim Clijsters will suit up for two matches with the St. Louis Aces. Clijsters plans to return to the WTA Tour after a two-year retirement. Other stars playing this season include Serena Williams (Washington, DC), Venus Williams (Philadelphia), Maria Sharapova (Newport Beach), Martina Navratilova (Boston) and John McEnroe (New York). WTT is getting a boost this summer from its new partnership with the United States Tennis Association and a new team in New York City. The USTA has become a 25 percent owner of the league in an effort to expand the USTA Junior Team Tennis program.
The Joseph F. Cullman 3rd Award will be awarded by the International Tennis Hall of Fame & Museum (ITHFM) to Tennis Channel for its ongoing contributions to tennis. The award will be given at the 28th annual "Legends Ball" on Friday, September 11, in New York City. The special night will also honor a host of tennis luminaries, including Rod Laver, who will receive a special Life Trustee Award, and the Hall of Fame Induction Class of 2009: Donald Dell, Andres Gimeno, the late Dr. Robert Johnson and Monica Seles. The Joseph F. Cullman 3rd Award was created in honor of an individual whose passion and generosity for the game of tennis inspired others to contribute to the advancement of the sport. Cullman served as president and chairman of the ITHFM from 1982-88. Previous winners of the award include BNP Paribas, Rolex and Sony Ericsson. Tennis Channel will be covering its first US Open this year. The network also covers Wimbledon, the French Open and Australia Open in high definition, as well as the US Open Series, Davis Cup, ATP Masters series, fEd Cup and top-tier Sony Ericsson WTA Tour championship competitions.
Anna Kournikova won't be playing World Team Tennis this season. The Russian star has been sidelined with a wrist injury. A WTT spokesperson said Kournikova made her decision after experiencing pain from tenosvnovitis while practicing for what would have been her seventh season with the league. The St. Louis Aces player has not responded to therapy or a series of cortisone shots. But while she's unable to play, Kournikova plans to travel with her team to matches in Philadelphia, Washington DC, Springfield and St. Louis.

Tennis Night In America Serves Up a Winner For Youth Tennis Registration Efforts Nationwide
WHITE PLAINS, N.Y., March 3, 2009 – The USTA announced today that more than 700 tennis facilities, recreation departments and community centers across the U.S. took part in last night's first-ever national youth registration initiative for spring and summer tennis programs—many in spite of unexpectedly heavy snow and winter weather—attracting tens of thousands of kids and parents to take part in the inaugural celebration of "Tennis Night in America."
Tennis Night in America also included the "BNP Paribas Showdown for the Billie Jean King Cup" at New York's Madison Square Garden. The Showdown featured four of the top women's players in the world—10-time Grand Slam champion Serena Williams, two-time defending Wimbledon champion Venus Williams, reigning French Open champion Ana Ivanovic and 2008 year-end No. 1 Jelena Jankovic—competing in a single-elimination tournament for the inaugural Billie Jean King Cup before a live national TV audience on HBO. The tournament was captured by Serena Williams in a straight-set victory over her sister Venus.
National Youth Registration Night events were created to give young players and their families around the country a day all their own to sign up for spring and summer programming including team tennis play. Facilities and clubs across the country, in cooperation with HBO, also offered live viewing parties for the Showdown.
Dozens of other youth registration events throughout the Northeast and South, areas hit hard by severe winter weather yesterday, are being rescheduled for the near future.
"We were excited about the possibilities of what Tennis Night in America could be, but last night truly exceeded our expectations." said Kurt Kamperman, Chief Executive, Community Tennis, USTA. "The enthusiasm we saw and heard from kids, parents and fans throughout our 17 sections was a wonderful testament to the resurgence our sport has been experiencing at every level."
The initiatives of Tennis Night in America come in the midst of tremendous sustained growth for tennis throughout the decade.
U.S. participation in the sport has grown more than any other traditional sport since 2000; according to the annual research survey conducted for the Tennis Industry Association and the USTA by the Taylor Research Group, nearly 26.9 million people played tennis in 2008, the highest number of participants in 15 years. That marked a 7 percent increase over the prior year and an increase of more than 30 percent since 2000. In addition, the number of new tennis players increased by 3 percent last year to more than 5.9 million.
"We look forward to maintaining the momentum of this great event throughout the rest of the year," said Kamperman, "as well as making TNIA an annual event for years to come."

All of Condor's N2 pumping units are specially constructed, state-of-the-art flameless nitrogen pumping units designed for process, pipeline and downhole applications.
Each unit is operated and managed by highly experienced personnel. The N2 combo pump units work independently, or in conjunction with Condor's coiled tubing equipment, providing an efficient and seamless service.
Each Condor N2 Pumping Unit is equipped with fully computerised control systems providing precise pumping operations with up to the second data on pressure, temperature, rate and product levels.
The Condor N2 Unit is a trailer-mounted, non-fired, nitrogen pumping unit for operation in environments with ambient temperature ranges of up to 113°F Engine power and recovered engine heat are used to vaporize and pump liquid nitrogen from the liquid nitrogen tank.
This unit is capable of pumping up to 180,000 SCFH of gaseous nitrogen with pressures up to 10,000 PSI and at discharge temperatures of 70°F. The liquid nitrogen is taken from the nitrogen storage/transport tank by a centrifugal boost pump to a high-pressure LN2 triplex pump.
High-pressure liquid nitrogen then passes through the unique non-fired vaporization system to convert the high-pressure liquid to high-pressure gaseous nitrogen.
Nitrogen is used in place of air whenever a risk hazard assessment dictates. It is used to shield potentially reactive materials from contact with oxygen and that is why Nitrogen Pumping is crucial to the oil & gas industry.
Condor's N2 Pumping Units are used in concert with other specialist well intervention services, including;
- N2 cleanouts
- Well kick offs
- N2 purging
- Nitrified acidizing
- Foam cementing
- Under Balanced Drilling
- Pressure testing
- Pipeline pigging
- Facility purging

MEE Audio Pinnacle P1
Pinnacle is more than a name - it is a statement that identifies the P1 in-ear earphones as the result of two years of design, engineering, and refinement. With its proprietary acoustic design and innovative zinc-alloy construction, the MEE Audio Pinnacle P1 delivers a timeless combination of beauty and performance.
To improve performance at the extremes of the frequency range the Pinnacle P1 utilises a proprietary 10mm moving coil driver with 50Ω impedance. The dynamic driver delivers a full-bodied bass note and slightly warm tonal character while retaining high levels of resolution and refinement. Using a dedicated audio source or amplifier designed for higher-impedance headphones can further improve the listening experience of the Pinnacle P1 heapdhones.
Built to last, the Pinnacle P1 is made of a zinc alloy that is stronger than aluminium and lighter than stainless steel and features interchangeable, replaceable cables with MMCX connectors. The unique ergonomic design can be worn one of two different ways and fits all ears comfortably.
The snug in ear fit blocks outside noise, preventing interruptions and protecting your hearing by allowing lower-volume listening. Comply T-Series memory foam eartips are included to further increase noise isolation for a superior audio experience.
True expression of music and more.
High-Fidelity Sound
An advanced high-impedance moving coil transducer and acoustic diffuser are used by the Pinnacle P1 to recreate music tracks with maximum clarity and resolution. The Pinnacle P1 was engineered to deliver top-tier audio performance with sound that is rich and musical, yet remains accurate to the source and makes audible the finest nuances in your music.
Advanced Dynamic System
A proprietary 10mm moving coil driver with 50Ω impedance delivers a full-bodied bass note and slightly warm tonal character while retaining high levels of resolution and refinement. The P1's patented acoustic diffuser ensures the best balance of treble intensity and smooth-in-the-ear response, boosting high-frequency extension and energy without adding harshness.
High Grade Headset Cable
Silver-plated 99.99% pure copper stereo audio cable ensures the richest detail retrieval and maximum performance when using the Pinnacle P1 with high-end audio systems. The headset cable incorporates a high-quality in-line microphone and remote, allowing seamless control of phone calls and music playback with phones and tablets.
Built To Last
For added longevity, the Pinnacle P1 utilizes detachable, user-replaceable cables with universal MMCX (micro-coaxial) connectors. Both of the included cables are braided for strength and tangle-resistance and utilise heavy-duty L-shaped plugs.
Complete Kit
To ensure the best fit, comfort, and noise isolation for every listener, the Pinnacle P1 includes 6 pairs of silicone eartips and 3 pairs of Comply T-200 Premium Memory Foam eartips. A shirt clip and integrated cable cinch help keep the cord out of your way while a gold-plated 6.35mm stereo adaptor is included for compatibility with a wider range of audio gear. The premium protective carrying case features an easy-to-use magnetic closure. Each Pinnacle case also features a unique laser-etched serial number.

- Top notch quallity
by Snapper Ben on 07/10/2017 The number one thing I wanted from these phones was to be able to get them to fit me really well and they do that perfectly. I chose them as they offered so many earpiece options and that was they key.
- a real treat
by BC on 21/08/2017 I have been using the P1s with Astell&Kern Jr.
- Great earphones – Just tooooo quiet.
by slayaz on 27/06/2017 The drivers are great. The choice of cables is great. The buds and accessories are great. The build quality is excellent, but...
I also wanted a really high quality sound and they offer that in spades.......the music is really opened out and clear with no booming base and no trebble harshness at all.
I use them at work on a mac book pro and hey work perfectly. The fact that they have quite a high impedance means that on my PC they are not quite so loud but that's not a criticism....it's just a fact of high end hifi.
I'm totally satisfied with the product and the service from HiFiHeadphones.
I use 98% FLAC files, and the P1 works like a charm.
It delivers a perfect natural sound, the bass won't bloat, the trebles won't keep ringing in your ears.
Saying natural, I mean, you can hear the details such as the note stand/chair distinctly squeek listening to live studio recordings.
It handles proggressive metal, classical music, vocal and instrumental very well.
The drums and cymbals in Death (Sound of Perseverence, 1000 eyes) are clear.
As the other fellow comment says, they are not too loud.
Build quality is solid, dedicated cable does make a difference. Don't use it with the mic cable. It still works with your phone, just use the phone's mic. ;
Mine developed a fault, the tip started coming off while changing the eartips.
HiFiHeadphones customer service works excellently.
With the discounted price, I recommend to go for it if you are after a natural IEMs.
...They are just too quiet.
On my iPhone the volume is always nailed on full, so i then use an amp, but then mic doesnt work....
So close to perfection...
The cable failed after about 14 months, but hifi headphones sent a new one in return post. Awesome customer service as always...

text: Dancing With the Stars' Melissa Rycroft Shares Her Stay-Fit Tips\\nAs a former Dallas Cowboys cheerleader and contestant on Dancing With The Stars, Melissa Rycroft knows a thing or two about staying in shape. The newly-married reality star—who is pregnant with her first child—reveals what she does to keep her body toned and camera-ready.\\n\\"*Dancing With the Stars* was such a great kick-off for me to get a more toned, athletic body. I've always been in shape and I've always worked out but *DWTS* knocked a good ten pounds off of me and turned it straight into muscle. I obviously gained a little bit after that, but I was confident in the way I looked and I was motivated to maintain that body. And I found a workout for me that was maintainable.\\"\\n\\"I'm probably most confident in my legs. I still have the muscle tone. Squats and lunges give you the ability to do things while watching TV. That's what I do, usually. After I get back from my walk, I'll turn on the TV and do some lunges across the room and I'll squat for a little bit. There's not a lot of strain on my joints and doing something a little bit every day is much better than doing nothing.\\"\\n\\"I've definitely been relying on my Reebok EasyTones these past few months. It's great when you can put them on and you automatically feel them working. Sometimes you hear stuff and you go, is this a gimmick? Does this really work? And, you know, the first time I put them on, I went, wow! I can feel a difference. I'm an instant gratification kind of girl so if I feel it, that's good.\\"\\n\\"When [her husband] Tye's working and I'm at home, going to the gym is kind of a fun way for us to meet during lunch. We'll go together and I'll walk on the treadmill and he'll run next to me, or he'll do some weights and I'll just do some free standing squats or lunges or something like that. It's fun and it's motivating when the two of us can do it together.\\"
