Like other members, RGB has pledged to raise in excess of £1,500 before July 2016.
To do this, staff will be holding bucket collections at some Exeter Chiefs' home games and the builders' merchant has vowed to match the amount that is donated.
RGB will also be supporting other Exeter Foundation events, including RockSolid, an obstacle race for people of all abilities that has plenty of challenges and plenty of mud. The event is in aid of the WESC Foundation, one of the charities that benefits from the funds raised through the Exeter Foundation.
Kevin Fenlon, CEO of RGB Building Supplies, said: "At RGB we have a very similar commitment to supporting the community. We're are therefore delighted to be a member of Foundation XV and have the opportunity to help raise money for worthy causes through this well established and respected organisation, and we look forward to working closely with the team at the Exeter Foundation."

TOUGH COOKIES EDUCATION explores the real impact social media has on teen girls and we catch up with Izzy Whitely, the founder of 'That's what she said' a social media movement which supports young girls to challenge societies norms.
ONE of Izzy Whitley's favourite sayings is a quote from Frederick Douglass, he said 'It is easier to build strong children than to repair broken men' 'That's what we are trying to do here' said; Izzy, the founder of 'That's what she said' a social media movement which supports young girls to challenge societies norms.
Growing up can be hard work, even more so in this digital age with the added pressure of living in a media-driven world. Social media and body image are mentioned again and again as one of the reasons for an increase in mental health issues amongst young women.
A study released this year, by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development surveyed 540,000 children aged 15 across countries worldwide. It reported that 15-year olds in the UK are one of the most miserable in the world, ranking eighth from the bottom out of 45 countries in relation to their life satisfaction, one in five girls blamed bullying and the pressures of social media for this.
Another report by the University of Manchester shows that self-harm has risen to nearly 70 per cent among 13 to 16-year-old girls in just three years, experts suggest the impact of digital media could be a reason behind this worrying issue.
Izzy, like many other teens, growing up, struggled with insecurities around self-image. As a young girl, she battled with eating disorders, body dysmorphia, depression, and self-harm. She set up 'That's what she said' to offer young girls an alternative narrative to what they may see on social media.
She said 'I felt pressured to look and be a certain type of girl. I needed to understand what I was happening and why I was feeling this way, and so I began to read up on feminism and different philosophies.
'By doing this, I was able to make sense of my emotions and feelings and realised quickly that I was not the only girl to be feeling this way.
'Recognising that many other young women faced these battles daily too, encouraged and motivated me to do something about it and the idea of 'That's what she said' was born.'
'That's what she said' began as a photography documentary project and an Instagram account, working in her old school, Izzy met with a group of young women to explore how they felt about growing up in a world where body image was everything.
Izzy said 'It's liberating to be given a space to explore and question the pressures that you are feeling, the girls involved in the project are given a safe space to do that.'
The project uses group work, written word and photography to capture the true thoughts and feelings of young women. Izzy hopes that these can be used to impact change. She explained;
'That's what she said aims to provide a voice for young girls and non-binary teens to act as a middleman between them and society.
'There are constant messages and media coverage about what adults think is affecting teens but it is so rare we actually hear from them. We are trying to stay away from faceless facts and figures and share actual stories, opinions, and advice from girls and non-binary teens on how we can make a change.'
The website and project are set to re-launch soon with new initiatives including a magazine and video content. There will be more ways to get young people, not just girls involved. Izzy said:
'We had such as great response to the work that we do, young people, parents, teachers, the press: lots of people were praising the movement and it feels like the time is now for a project like this'.
YoungMinds is the UK's leading charity championing the well-being and mental health of young people. Reports produced by YoungMinds state that 3 children in every classroom have a mental health problem.
Over 5000 young people told YoungMinds their top concerns are the impact of social media and the online world, lack of access to help, school stress and unemployment.
If you feel like social media is affecting your happiness and how you feel, it may be time for a social media detox.
We spoke to Geraldine Joaquim, a Clinical Hypnotherapist works to help people manage stress. She shared her expert top tips for using social media whilst keeping a happy and healthy mind. Geraldine said;
'If you find you have a constant desire to check and re-check your social media, it could be a sign that it is taking over your life, rather than being a tool to enjoy.
'A good tip to check in, is to start to monitor your feelings in response to viewing the social media accounts you engage with, think about how they make you feel? Do you feel bad, sad, lonely, negative? If so now could be time for a break.
'Recognising the lure of social media is important too, understanding how it is designed to keep you engaged and so playing on a psychological weakness within the human psyche can be an eye-opener.
'Just this week FB founding president Sean Parker stated 'God only knows what it's doing to our children's brains' – like fast food, it feeds our need for instant gratification. The key to managing it is in taking a step back and using it for enjoyment without allowing it to control your thoughts or actions.
'Another top tip is to focus on real-life connections and events, positive interaction with real-life friends and family, consciously reducing time spent on your phone and laptop, will re-wire the brain to change compulsive behaviour.
'Social Media is in our world, it affects many aspects of our lives and if used with eyes wide open, it can be a great fun. People need to take on board not everything is quite as it appears online, so have a big pinch of salt to hand!'

What an odd little month February is. No real holidays unless you count Valentine's Day, which my husband does NOT consider a holiday, and a short month stuck between winter and spring. But it happens to be one of my favorite months for no real reason. Here are ten things that happened to me during the short month of February that made me very happy.
- This tongue in cheek design book, Catalog in Living, made me laugh out loud. Available on Amazon, it is well worth the money!
- Taking this little guy to his very first movie. (sorrry..no pic available due to an uncooperative two year old) He was entranced by the big screen and the whole experience was made even more enjoyable by the treats he got…after all, best part of going to the movies is the popcorn and candy…right?
- Time spent with my daughter makes me happier than anything else in the world. She ventured down from her new home in the bay area for work and we were in heaven knowing she was sleeping in the room right below us. Moms…you all know what I mean!
- Scheduling a future trip to Hawaii!!!!!! We will be celebrating 30 years of marriage in April so we are returning to where it all began…Lahaina, Maui, where we were married. We actually returned to the islands every two or three years after we were married but have not been back for 11 years. Other travel and skiing took over our time and travel $ but we now have both and are planning on enjoying every single minute. I could not be happier!
- Minor decorating projects in both my own home and that of friends and clients keeps me busy and in touch with what I love—design. A couple of bigger projects coming up that I will be sure to share as we progress.
- Kate Spade surprise online sales. Do you get these emails? If not, sign up at Kate Spade and you will be able to purchase your favorite items at up to 75% off..truly amazing sales.
- This video is absolutely hilarious and gave me a great laugh! Take a moment and watch it—guaranteed to put a smile on your face!
- The wildflowers are in full bloom in San Diego. What I call "freeway daisies" are everywhere and all the trees are beginning to leaf out and the hills are as green as they have ever been. Thank you weeks and weeks of rain! Just might scratch off something on my bucket list this year and head out to the desert to see the wildflowers. And this pillow from Pottery Barn is the perfect way to bring a bit of the desert wildflowers into your home.
Another unexpected death in our family has shortened this list but, as always, very happy for the health of myself and that of my family. What made you happy in February?

|Mr. Springer's Classroom
Thank you for bridging your child's experience between home and school!
Upcoming events:
May 6 and 7 - Port Aransas!
May 19 - Symphony
May 30 - Wax Museum!
Ask Your Child:
* Compare from least to greatest using 3 different ways: 9/10, 1/3, and 7/8. (some students can answer how the Egyptians would have shown these fractions)
* How can you summarize a story using the SWBST method? Summarize the book Sit-In (Mr. Springer read aloud) using this method.
* Give examples of rich actiion verbs you are using in your writing. How do they relate to sensory language?
* What are some of the dilemmas West Africans faced during the slave trade? How do we still see the effects of slavery in today's society?
* How are potential and kinetic energy related in your roller coaster? How does mass affect the amount of force an object can exert? What role can friction play?
* How can you be more assertive in your daily life?
We have been working hard on fractions - kids are honing skills of simplification, equivalency among fractions, decimals, and percents, and strategies to order fractions. This is a big 5th grade TEK. We are now using these skills to learn more about probability in various contexts like experiments, games, and daily events. We will soon begin our unit on measurement - fractions play a big role in characterizing amounts of wholes when measuring. We will explore length, mass, time, and capacity. We will be applying terms such as perimeter, area, and volume - this is a fun unit to explore hands-on. Please expose your child to as much measurement as you can around the home - cooking, working with tools, shaving your head with clippers - so many exciting ways to use fractions! ; )
We wil be building in a little more test taking practice as the year progresses - and the wonderful spring weather will allow us to practice math outside quite a bit.
Language Arts
Students have finished up their adventure books and gameboards - they were very excited to see them in action! We have been learning how to write good fiction summaries using a method called "Somebody Wants But So Then" that captures all the essential elements of the plot. Main characters, goals, conflicts and resolution. We are reading The Cay as a whole class - this is one of my favorite books; it is dedicated to "Dr. King's dream" and is a wonderful historical fiction/adventure story with a great theme. It offers a chance to discuss point of view around a high interest topic that is running through our social studies unit as well - that of civil rights. In writing, we are working on a secret project involving student reflection of their past - you will find out more about this later in the year. We continue to learn about parts of speech and are integrating into our daily writing.
Social Studies
Students are hard at work on their state's research project! With that project, we are focusing on learning more about that particular topic, listening/following directions, and time management. Thank you for asking your child if he/she is on track with that project. Curriculum wise we are studying the triangular trade of the 16th-19th centuries - students are facing dilemmas West Africans met during the slave trade, from West Africa, along the Middle Passage, and their arrival in the Americas. It is a fascinating time period and we are having many rich discussions. The themes we are encountering run through our reading of The Cay as well. We started the unit by looking at more recent events such as Jim Crow laws, 20th century segregation, and the plight on nonviolent protests. Please discuss with your child!!! We will soon be starting the causes of the American Revolution - another favorite topic of mine!
Students really did a wonderful job with their science fair projects - I was able to meet with each along the way and offer revisions and thoughts to consider. I was really pleased with the final product - in my book, we had several blue ribbon award winners! We are wrapping up our big energy unit by building roller coasters that demonstrate the effects of potential and kinetic energy, as well as the role of friction, gravity and inertia. We will be reviewing for a week with a test finishing out the unit. We will then move on to climate/weather and begin Earth science - with topics ranging from geology to the effects of the moon on Earth. We will be incorporating these concepts with places around us - the forest and our new erosion controls, the retention pond near the outdoor learning center, and the display of tides on our trip to Port Aransas!

This was a little essay I originally wrote as a Kickstarter update when trying to clear up my thoughts on why I wanted so badly to make this game. I hope you enjoy it. –Evan
Creativity. Curiosity. I hold these to be two of the most fundamental, powerful and noble drives a person has. I think everyone's creative–has the drive to give form to ideas born in their minds. But in day-to-day life, the majority of us (those who didn't choose a life as creative individuals) keep those impulses to ourselves for shame in our artistic skills. As we fail to exercise them, they weaken and we lose touch with a very healthy activity.
The reason for this, I think, is changes at work in society. The internet and marketing propagate painstakingly crafted artistic product around the world. You don't have to leave your house to see galleries of art or read volumes of poetry. Don't have to travel the world to hear the words of great speakers and actors. All of that information–all the ideas and art in the world–converges in a small corner of the modern home. Or a shoulder-bag. Or a pocket. The internet is a wonderful thing.
Indeed, for the sheer level of distribution of information, many if not most of us in the industrialized world have become accustomed to taking in huge amounts of it on a regular basis. Our curious drive–our urge to seek out new things and understand them–is endlessly satisfied and becomes endlessly more ravenous. There are things designed to contend with that. More hours of video than could be watched in lifetimes. An endless outpouring of electronic games made by the enterprising as amusement.
The imbalance, then, is obvious. We take so much in and put so little out. Virtually all of us produce at least a little (social networking, among other things) but are often discouraged at the small reactions it produces and ashamed to see our work constantly alongside "greater" things.
Me? I'm a child of this generation, and speaking from experience. And I'm a part of the force at work, too. I make electronic games. In recent years my appetite for television and internet reading has declined, though. I put little time, typically, into social networking sites. I was never so interested in them as in my own projects. Like many others, I resolve to focus on my own work and throw it into a global arena.
But most of us just like being creative, rather than living it. We have lives of our own, and won't devote them to an art simply to have a "vent". The most serene among us make things and are content with them. But the rest see little purpose in creating things doomed to a dark corner or a closed notebook. A neglected weblog, or the dregs of a portal.
Infinite Blank is a small manifestation of this. A small movement against it. Infinite Blank welcomes doodlers. It welcomes average people. So, too, it welcomes the skilled who are tired of competing and comparing. It offers a place to create freely, without the burden of expectations. It also offers an explorative experience that must be worked at, and so gains allure in lacking the immediacy we're familiar with. Unlike most things that do this, it replenishes endlessly. It offers interaction with others, through a playful caricature of speech and movement. And it offers the satisfaction of having one's creation as part of a wondrous collaborative artwork. It offers "I made this".
It asks little in return. It asks respect for the unity of its world (by transitioning carefully with neighbors and keeping things navigable), and respect for the effort at hand (by taking one's time while creating and taking the matter seriously).
Infinite Blank also stands as a counter to the majority of electronic games. Rather than an amusement crafted for the purpose of making money, it's a piece of software made freely available in the hopes of providing a meaningful experience. While it certainly has peers in this sense, It's a matter of sad practicality that more aren't produced. Free games aren't forced into commercially-viable designs. Aren't forced to cripple good designs for the purpose of saleability. Not unlike players in my game, they don't have to compete and so are free to be whatever they want.
The world of ideas is boundless. Creativity is a beautiful thing in all its forms, and deserves to be respected as such. Curiosity is an equal and opposite force, demanding equal respect. I made a game about building and adventuring because I believe in those two things (and love) when I believe in nothing else, and I made it free.
I can only hope I'll continue to have opportunities now and then throughout my life to escape "matters of sad practicality" and make more things like this.
Thanks for listening.

Titans coach Mike Mularkey said running back DeMarco Murray is "day to day," implying he has a chance to play against the New England Patriots in Saturday's divisional round playoff game.
Well, now that the Titans have made it this far, giving Murray a third week since the injury, there is at least a chance.
There was not before.
We said after he suffered a third-degree tear in his right MCL that he would not play even if the Titans made the wild card round. Murray, who said he would try to play in the regular season finale, has not been active the past two games.
It remains unlikely he can be effective this soon, but this is the first week he has an outside shot to participate.
An MCL tear of his severity typically requires at least a 4-6 recovery.
Murray might be able to run straight, but cutting would still be difficult.
If the Titans can get past New England and advance to AFC Championship game, that would give Murray a realistic chance to play and even contribute.
If they make it to Minneapolis for the Super Bowl, and as long as he did not suffer a setback, Murray would be ready.

What is stress?
Stress is defined as a response to a demand that is placed upon you. Stress in a normal reaction when your brain recognises a threat. Stress can be described as 'a condition or feeling that a person experiences when they perceive that the demands exceed the personal and social resources the individual is able to mobilise.' For most people, stress is a negative experience.
What causes stress?
Stressors are anything that cause or increase stress. Here are a few examples:
Academics: It is by far the biggest stressor for college students, the pressure of not failing takes a toll on their mental health.
Extracurricular: Some students may feel pressured to make extracurricular activities a part of their daily routine to the point where every hour of the day is accounted for.
Peers: Peer pressure is a major stressor, especially pressure that is negatively influenced.
Time management: One of the biggest stressors is not knowing how to plan and execute daily activities such as class, work, study time, extracurricular activities, and time alone for oneself.
Environment: Certain environments can bring about stress such as discussing/viewing heated topics, slow moving traffic, trying to find a parking spot, etc.
Common major life events that can trigger stress include:
- Job issues or retirement
- Lack of time or money
- Bereavement
- Family problems
- Illness
- Moving home
- Relationships, marriage and divorce
How does stress affect you?
Stress may cause you to have physiological, behavioural or even psychological effects.
Stress slows normal bodily functions, such as the digestive and immune systems. All resources can then be concentrated on rapid breathing, blood flow, alertness and muscle use.
The body changes in the following ways during stress:
- Blood pressure and pulse rate rise
- Breathing is faster
- The digestive system slows down
- Immune activity decreases
- The muscles become tense
- A heightened state of alertness prevents sleep
Stress management strategies
Stress management is all about taking charge of your lifestyle, thoughts, emotions, and the way you deal with problems. No matter how stressful your life seems, there are steps you can take to relieve the pressure and regain control.
Learn how to say no: Know your limits and do not compromise them. Taking on more than you can handle is not a good choice.
Attitude: It is human nature to want to freak out. Your mind is a powerful tool; use it in your favour. Thinking rationally can take you a long way.
Laugh: Do something that you enjoy – take on a hobby, hang out with friends, and learn to balance your life. If you are feeling upset, express your feelings. The act of laughing helps your body fight stress in a number of ways.
Find a support system: Whether it's your mom, sister, brother, friend or counsellor, find someone you feel comfortable sharing your feelings with. Sometimes all we need is to vent off the frustration.
Breathing and relaxation: Meditation, massage, and yoga can help. Breathing and relaxation techniques can slow down the system and help you relax. Breathing is also a central part of mindfulness meditation.
Exercise: Physical activities can help you in not only burning off calories, but also burning off stress. Exercise helps release tension. Exercise for 30 minutes a day for at least 3 times per week.
Maintain healthy relationships: Talk and hang out with friends. Find some you relate to and with whom you can share your problems with.
Time management: Get a planner; create a schedule, or even a to-do list. Map out what your quarter will look like. Once you have done that, do a schedule for each week. Then create a schedule for each day. Be specific. Mark down your class meeting times, study time for a specific subject, mealtimes, fun activities, and sleep.
Organisation: Learn how to organise your notes, keep track of your assignments and note important due dates or date of exams. Establish your priorities for the day.
Budget: Create a budget for your monthly expenses. Distribute your money according to the bills you need to pay for the quarter (i.e. rent, tuition, groceries, personal items, house bills, petrol, etc.)
Delegate responsibilities: When school or work becomes overwhelming, dividing up the work or responsibilities helps alleviate pressure and stress.

I have used cannabis to treat migraines for about the past 6 years. I have found it to be the best medicine for migraines compared to other things that I have tried: namely, over-the-counter analgesics (such as Tylenol, ibuprofen, aspirin, Alleve, etc.) and to the prescription drug Midrin.
With smoked cannabis, the relief is almost immediate (5 -15 minutes), whereas with the oral medications relief takes 30-120 minutes. Also, the effectiveness of pain and nausea cessation seems to be better with cannabis. I can usually kill a migraine with a few puffs of cannabis, whereas I usually never get COMPLETE relief with the oral medications until I've slept for a few hours.
As you probably know already, a migraine can literally consume a whole day to a week of your life (and then some) if it is bad enough. I discovered that cannabis usually allows me to overcome the migraine and get on with my life almost immediately. If you work or have a busy lifestyle, this is something else to consider.
Another pitfall with some of the oral prescription medications, and one that I experienced with Midrin, is that they can actually cause you to have more migraines more often!!!!! This negative side effect of these drugs is a physiological response similar to an addiction. Your body decides that it wants more of the drug, so it intentionally creates a migraine to force you into taking the medication! When I first started taking Midrin back in the early 90's, I would have (on average) about 1 migraine every 2 weeks. After being on Midrin for about 4 months, I was having migraines about every other day! It was then that my doctor explained this weird side effect to me, and I stopped taking Midrin. Of course, not all people experience this side effect but many do.
There are also other lifestyle changes that you may want to consider to reduce incidence of migraines. For me, I found that treating my high blood pressure helped reduce the number of migraines, as did eliminating the artificial sweetener Nutrasweet from my diet.

A departure from my norm – I delve into the political on one of my favorite days of the year. (I like freedom, beer, and blowing things up – almost a perfect day)
I still have a hard time seeing past my Christian theology and accepting homosexual marriage. I have an M.Div so am not uneducated on Biblical matters.
Personally, I have an even harder time understanding why a man would WANT to have sex with another man. Sort of like runny yoke fried eggs – yuck!! (Of course the hypocrisy is, like many men, have a facination with two women together – but not ugly ones. Still, I have a theological issue with it. I'm not proud – just honest)
Ok, I can tell it's time to lighten the mood with a funny video already
Even more personal, my son, The Graduate, came out to my wife and I a few months ago, and to his friends about a year ago. We were honestly not the least bit surprised. He is the BEST KID!!
I'm vested in this topic on a lot of levels.
All this to say, this Independence Day I am glad our Supreme Court upheld freedom in America last week.
I don't have to understand desires on ANY level in order to understand FREEDOM. We ALL won last week!! Christians, LGBTQ, and anyone who loves their individual rights to believe and practice their heart and faith.
I love my country and the freedom we share!!! God has blessed us in America!
Also, I'm thankful for those who protect this freedom we have!!
Be Safe and have a Happy 4th!!

Another clip from The Expendables 2 has surfaced, and this time it features non other than the greatest action hero of all-time – Ah-nold! You've probably seen bits of this clip in the trailers that have come out, but it never hurts to see Schwarzenegger shooting automatic weapons, ripping doors off cars, and delivering cheesy movie lines with his iconic accent. Check it out below and don't forget to go to the movie itself when it opens on 8/17. You've been thinking Arnold probably could've tore a Smart Car door off during his bodybuilding days…

I'm working on an Older Scout Retention Framework (It's a Wood Badge ticket) that can be used by any Boy Scout, Venturing or Varsity unit to help keep older Scouts engaged and active. I'm wondering what suggestions you have to keep older Scouts from leaving the unit.
There are many reasons older boys (and girls) leave. Please take the time to list a couple of the more common ones you have heard and what you did, attempted to do or wish you had done to try and keep them engaged.

Grateful that I got to pee in a beer can today!
Grateful that I got to pee in a beer can today!
Grateful for an opportunity for balcony dining. Our beautiful hotel hosts were watching the soccer tonight (Italy v England EuroCup) so didn't have the restaurant open and instead delivered delicious ravioli and big glasses of beer to our room for us to have on our balcony. Bliss!
Grateful for the last piece of Bern Bear Cake eaten on the train to Randa (near Zermatt, Switzerland).
Grateful for my first ever Hooters experience … In Interlaken. The view (of the mountains) was amazing, as was watching paragliders land in the park across from us and they are the only place to serve the unfiltered Zwickel (Beer) from the local brewery.
Grateful for a well earned beer! Have never needed a beer so much in my life!!! Why/How did I earn it? Blog post to follow but for a sneaky preview see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uHpu6MHGjMM (we weren't brave enough to take photos or video on the sections in the video …).
Grateful for our first home cooked meal in over a month. Lovely to have an apartment even if it isn't quite the same as cooking at home.
Grateful for the delicious chocolate football's handed out on our train rides today 🙂

Downsizing For Fun & Profit
- Details
- Written by Duncan
What better time to take advantage of an opportunity to flush out the dead wood, and make some strategic cuts! Now you can do things that even Machiavelli could not have gotten away with, and blame it on the recession.
For example, have all your staff sell their homes to relocate closer to work, and then you lay them off. Cancel the company picnic one day before the date. Lay off people while they are on a business trip an cancel their company cards. See if they can get home then.
After committing such acts that could elsewhere be deemed war crimes, you then blame it all on the economy. If the company survives long enough, you can take the credit for making the tough decisions that brought the company through.
Call an all-hands meeting, and divide the staff into two groups and have them go into to two rooms. Then wait for an hour or two while they wonder which group still has jobs.
Arbitrarily cut budgets left right and center. Take no prisoners.
Have staff take a pay cut to avoid more layoffs, and then the next week lay off a bunch of them anyways. The remaining group are now on reduced pay and worried who will go next.
You can have fun that the Marquis de Sade could not have imagined - until you run out of staff.

Gastric bypass surgery is a procedure used to decrease the size of the stomach to help those who are significantly overweight achieve a healthy weight and improved quality of life. If you are significantly overweight and have been unable to manage your weight with diet and exercise, gastric bypass surgery may be right for you. During patient consultations, Drs. Fernando Garcia and David Vazquez identify gastric bypass surgery candidates. Contact our Tijuana, BC offices to receive your personalized consultation.
Gastric bypass surgery is used to surgically reduce the size of the stomach, helping to prevent those who struggle with their weight from eating as much as they are used to. Decreasing the size of the stomach allows patients to feel satiated with less food. During gastric bypass surgery, part of the digestive system is re-routed to reduce the amount of food absorbed by the body. By re-routing the digestive system and reducing the size of the stomach, patients can lose weight and maintain a healthier lifestyle.
If being significantly overweight impacts your quality of life and health, gastric bypass surgery may help. Although gastric bypass can help patients achieve their weight loss goals, it is not intended for those wishing to lose a few extra pounds. Ideal candidates for gastric bypass surgery include those who:
Gastric bypass surgery can have life changing results, allowing patients to enjoy improved health, confidence, and mobility. Gastric bypass surgery offers many possible benefits to those who undergo this procedure, such as:
It's important to be aware of the potential risks of gastric bypass surgery and to speak to your doctor about whether or not this treatment is right for you. Some potential risks of gastric bypass surgery include:
Gastric bypass can help those who are significantly overweight achieve a healthy BMI and improve their quality of life. To find out if you're a candidate for gastric bypass surgery, we welcome you to schedule a consultation at Tijuana Bariatric Center.

With USA Triathlon Olympic Distance National Championships only a few days away, it got me thinking about mantras. I have a few phrases that run through my mind during the different disciplines of a triathlon while I'm racing…
While swimming: "Just keep swimming" and "Breathe, focus, swim straight"
While biking: "I am focused, I am relaxed" and "I am strong, I am tough"
While running: "Think strong, be strong, finish strong" and "I am tougher than the rest" I also play the song "Another one bites the dust" in my head as I pass people on the run and I always remember Chrissie Wellington's mantra… "Smile"
So…what's your mantra?????

The times have changed drastically. Gone are the days when people used to think and do good for others. The main reason behind the society becoming hypocritic and indifferent about things is the excessive use of social media. Social media has taken a toll on everyone's lives. It has irreversibly crippled us all.
Marco Melgrati, a brilliant artist has depicted the brutal reality of today's hypocritic world in his illustrations. From the fakeness that people show on social media to people's hunger for money, he has depicted it all. We hope that these illustrations instil a sense of concern and responsibility in everyone's mind.
The magic of plastic money
Can hardly tell a person's real emotion these days.
Diseases weigh people down.
When your ego is bigger than your body
The number of likes you get is directly proportional to the number of hashtags you use.
Women still do not have equal access to literacy.
This is what cosmic love seems like.
This might as well soon become a reality.
Well, unrealistic aims are better than low aims.
Socrates was the doubt maker.
How to confuse your enemy.
Virtual touch > Real touch
Gaining profits by fooling people?
When children can't wait to grow up.
The harsh reality.

About me
I am East Coast-born, from Philadelphia, and am a graduate of Hahnemann Hospital's registered nursing program. I come from a family of nurses—my mom, two sisters, and one brother all went into nursing. My husband and I came west almost 30 years ago to pursue adventure and follow his career—and we enjoyed it so much we stayed. I continued my nursing education at UC San Francisco, completing my master's in cardiac nursing and then my adult nurse practitioner (ANP) degree. While vacationing in Oregon, we found the Northwest to be similar in many ways to the Philadelphia of our past and decided to move here. The seasons, the green, and, yes, the rain was more like home for us.
About my practice
My early nursing career was in intensive care, and with my focus in internal medicine and chronic conditions I feel well prepared to practice as an adult nurse practitioner at Kaiser Permanente. I have a geriatric certification from Oregon Health & Science University and love to help seniors and other adults prevent illness and stay healthy. I am most impressed by the "Greatest Generation" and have learned much from their wisdom. Kaiser Permanente's philosophy of prevention and wellness fits perfectly into my practice: I would rather prevent than treat illness.
How I thrive
I enjoy staying active and engaged in what life has to offer. I am a firm believer in exercise and healthy eating. My children grew up seeking out healthy vegetarian foods, and it has become our family's main diet now. Our daughter, an environmental science major and graduate of Oregon State University, helps the family to be good stewards of ourselves and the environment, and our son, a graduate of the University of Oregon and an applied math major, is equally impressive on his stewardship of what matters in the world. In my time off I enjoy riding my horse, Scooter. To challenge my creative side, I am teaching myself to play the piano. The West, it seems, has been a great influence on us all!

The Windermere is situated in one of the city's most impressive locations being a short walk away from the beach, Macarthur's pools and some top beachfront restaurants and the Boardwalk complex. The renowned links at Humewood Golf Course is only 5 minutes away. The Windermere is the ideal starting or end point to the Garden Route and the perfect base to the Eastern Cape's great malaria-free game destinations.
Of all South Africa's coastal cities Port Elizabeth has the best swimming beaches! Apart from the many aquatic/marine activities (scuba diving, kite boarding, wind surfing, surfing, yachting, angling), there are various other activities available, all of which can be booked by the hotel, these include golf - city and township tours (Port Elizabeth was the landing place of the British settlers of 1820, as well as being at the crucible of the Anti Apartheid movement, so there are many significant historical sites) , marine safari to the bird island group as well as day safaris to various game reserves including Addo, Schotia , Pumba, Kwantu & Amakhala (all within an easy 1hr drive). A great day out in the country (only available to guests of The Windermere) is a game drive into Addo Elephant National Park followed by lunch at the exclusive Elephant House in the Sundays River valley.
Our expertise in African travel comes from years of experience travelling the continent, canoeing the rivers, walking the bush trails, and seeing the stars. We've been on the game drives and watched the sunsets, spent nights wrapped up in remote areas, and eaten great food around the fire. Our recommendations come first-hand, and they are your assurance that a safari booked with us is one we know you'll love, because we did.
We know a safari can be pricey, but we guarantee that we're giving you the best deal on your travel. We don't want your trip to Africa to be a once in a lifetime experience, we want you to do it again, and again! Through nurtured relationships with our suppliers, we can offer you the best deal they've got, and you'll never pay more than you should for your accommodation. If you find the same holiday for less, we'll confidently better the price.
Just like the spots on a leopard's back, each of our tailor-made itineraries is unique. Every journey has a personality, carefully designed to match the desires and expectations our clients bring to the table. Every element is taken into consideration to stitch together a personalised safari experience, grown from seed and cultivated to embody the perfect adventure. Our tailored itineraries are your safari dreams, defined.

I still can't believe years of coffee addiction is eradicated as easily as sweeping the dust off the floor. Another week flew by without coffee, and I have never felt better.
I still need abit more time to see how my sleep pattern progress, the noticeable difference for me currently, is my energy level, as mentioned previously, I no longer experience the highs and lows, my energy level feel more stable throughout the whole day.
As with all other habits I'm trying to build, the biggest takeaway for me is to just grind through the beginning, cup by cup, day by day, use substitute if you need (for me, it would be low caffeine tea/cocoa drink), eventually the habit will stick.
Time Blocking Method
I've had a pretty hectic week, Anya's holiday threw me off my routine, and I thrive on routines. I had to learn how to adapt to not let it stress me out too much. I am also experimenting with Dr. Cal Newport's "Time Blocking" method, where you schedule your day hour by hour, and I must say, I am enlightened how it has helped me to feel more centred, especially with my "deep work" time.
Everybody have different obligations to full fill everyday, and we each have our own preferred schedule. We can apply the concept to tailor to our own needs.
I want to share the example of my typical day.
If I am not out on the field on an assignment (which takes either half or whole day depending on the nature of the job), most days, my schedule is flexible, depending on how I arrange it. It's hard not to feel overwhelmed when you are a freelance worker like I am, as I don't really have a rigid "9-5" working hour.
First, I decided to simplify my life into few sections :
Daily Tasks (this includes Anya, food preparation, eating, daily rituals such as meditation or walks etc)
Digital Tasks (emails, watapps, social media management, so on and so forth)
Deep work (I reserve this time exclusively to work on my personal project, which I will share in future)
Work (photo processing, client's follow up, etc)
Family time
Reading. I have also included reading into my daily routine, and I even separated them into two categories : Leisure reading vs non leisure reading)
From 5pm onwards my routines is more clustered, but atleast I've planned out the bulk of my day.
I usually draft out my day the night before, or the morning itself. I do not do this everyday, especially over the holidays, and like today, where we spent the entire day just doing family stuffs.
Digital Tasks
There are certain things that I am not rigid, esp with watsapp messages. Sometimes I do reply messages, even thou I schedule my "Digital tasks" in the afternoon, before I start my work.
It's still a struggle for me currently, separating my life away from "digital tasks" instead of letting it grapple with my attention throughout the day intermittently. I will elaborate more on my experience with social media addiction soon. (yes watsapp is a social media tool, alot of Asians don't realize that, esp Malaysians)
I realize I don't need to be 100% all the time, things comes up and schedule does changes, but atleast this gives me a sense of how I can spend my day more efficiently.
PS : After Digital Minimalism I went on to read Deep Work by Dr.Cal Newport. I highly recommend you to read both books, I am particularly grateful for all the practical tips that I can immediately apply to my life, and they have already improved the quality of my life tremendously.

Poetry – Issue 21 | October 2014
by Askold Skalsky
Chopin's E-flat, a midday nocturne
on the radio in the blaze of July heat
tinkling the absent moon's soft face
on my way to the Wonder Book
dispensary of printed dreams, a country
station playing oldies—and this anomaly
of fragile sound as I pass the oldsters' home,
the custard stand, and Taco Bell, the blistering
asphaltic tenor of the road, a dual highway
blinkered with noon tar and switched-off neon
hopes down-windowed in hot air, my arm
hung out to dry in light and me listing
dreamward as though waking in a cantilena
of the past, the keys of memory striking
the gossamer seams that keep the sky
together, the familiar edge and surface
where I turn and smooth my way into the
parking lot, and now the bookshop's outdoor
tables with their magic lode of worlds and
the string of stars bound round their foreheads
behind which the slopes of Chimborazo rise
among the golden foothills of the sun.
About the author
A Ukrainian by birth, Askold Skalsky's travel credentials include escaping with his life from what used to be Yugoslavia and with his money from what still is Greece and Italy. Lately he has been living quietly in Maryland. Last year he was published in The English Chicago Review, One Trick Pony, Poetry Salzburg Review, and Tellus. One of his pet peeves is having to write any bio that is other than the dull roll-call of publications and insincere phrases of editorial bootlicking.

The stricken eldest son of slain Officer Rafael Ramos had one request of Cardinal Dolan when he met the church leader earlier this week — "Please pray with us," Dolan recalled for worshipers at Christmas Mass on Thursday.
"As I'm leaving [the family's home], the 19-year-old boy — they're not Catholic, by the way — the 19-year-old boy says to me, 'Will you please pray with us.' What's he saying? We need God, we want God. There is here the basic message of Christmas," Dolan told the crowd at St. Patrick's Cathedral.
"Those of you who are visiting with us, and I'm sure glad you are, know the sadness we've been through this year in New York with the execution of two of our extraordinarily devoted police officers," Dolan said in his sermon.
Ramos and Officer Wenjian Liu were killed execution-style by a cop-hating madman while sitting in their patrol car in Brooklyn on Saturday afternoon.
Dolan said he stepped outside the cathedral before the midnight Mass on Christmas Eve to shake hands with the city's Finest there.
"I wanted to greet our extraordinarily devoted police officers who were here last night to make sure everything went well," he said.
But Dolan said he prefers the Christmas morning Mass because there's less pomp — making it closer to the spirit of Bethlehem.
"Everybody's dressed to the nines, and of course, you have some celebrities here and some leading civic leaders — there's a lot of glitz," the cardinal said of midnight Mass.
"But you know, I'm very happy to be with you this morning. It's a little closer to the simplicity and the sincerity of Bethlehem."

It's a strange experience to stand across the street from a Target and a McDonalds, only to find yourself in the midst of towering canyons and ancient sycamore groves less than two hours later. With my favorite hiking buddies along for the ride, that's exactly what I signed up for at Whiting Ranch Wilderness Park. The reward was discovering Orange County's only sandstone gorge, aptly named Red Rock Canyon.
We begin the day with loaded backpacks, essential water bottles and sandwiches in tow, at the Borrego Canyon parking lot in Foothill Ranch. Though today we are sticking to the 4-mile out-and-back for Red Rock, Whiting Ranch is comprised of an expansive trail network that's popular with mountain bikers.
Our feet hit the trail at the perfect time. It's a warm, January afternoon and many other people are out enjoying the weather too. A light breeze rustles the forest canopy and sunlight dapples the shaded creek bed that runs along the ravine. Bring your trusted hiking boots; you may have to ford your way once in a while. Everything is a lush green hue, thanks to recent rainstorms – a fact likely appreciated by the local property owners as well. On both sides, upon the hills, beautiful houses look out over the valley and surrounding mountains.
Up above the developments, the trail is flush with vibrant wildlife, so keep your senses sharp. With some close observation and a little bit of luck, you might even spot a burrowing Vole remodeling its underground home. Elegant Orangetip butterflies dance across the path, alighting on feathery green coastal sage bushes. Take a tip from them, pick some of the plants and crush it in your hands for a soft herbal aroma. As we continue, a fellow hiker spots a trio of deer silhouetted at the top of distant dreaded hill, grazing along its crown. If you're so inclined, you could join them up there for the view, but we decide that's a steep choice and worth another story.
We arrive at a junction for the trail system, but a well-marked sign keeps us pointed in the right direction. The footpath narrows, and with just over a half-mile to go, we encounter a subtle shift in the environment. The earth beneath our feet takes on a reddish hue, and prickly pear cacti sprout up from the scrub brush more consistently. We round the bend, and the mountains open up, exposing their rusty innards. I have to crane my neck back to take it all in; a smoothly contoured wall, naturally carved by eons of wind and rain rises sharply up the gully. The cliff face blushes a deeper orange as the setting sun kisses its flowing lines. It evokes the landmarks of Utah, beautiful formations I've only seen in pictures. But, I think, this gives those a run for our money. A hush resides over this natural amphitheater, even with several groups of hikers climbing to join us. It's a brilliant place to unpack the snacks and just soak it all in, which is exactly what we did.

Real investment charge transparency will supercharge the City and give savers a fair deal
The past year has seen the beginning of many changes to our economy. We are getting ready for Liam Fox to strike new trade deals, David Davis to safeguard old alliances and Boris Johnson to introduce global Britain to the world. This is an exciting time for British business.
It would be easy to think that all we need to do is sit back and wait for the opportunities to roll in, but that would be wrong. We need to ensure that we are ready not just to compete but to succeed in this new world.
That means looking at the old ways we have done things and thinking again. How can we make our markets more attractive, our industries more productive and our nation ready to grasp the new opportunities promised?...

Melbourne Victory, Sydney FC in A-League 3-3 draw
SYDNEY (AP) — Veteran Archie Thompson scored three goals as the second-place Melbourne Victory drew 3-3 with Sydney FC in the A-League on Saturday, leaving the Perth Glory three points clear in first place after 10 rounds.
The 36-year-old Thompson scored on either side of a Marc Janko goal to give the Victory a 2-1 halftime lead. Shane Smeltz scored twice for Sydney in second-half but Thompson scored in the final minute of regular time to level.
Perth ensured it would remain in first with a 2-0 win Friday over Newcastle as Richard Garcia scored in the 11th minute and Nebojsa Marinkovic in the 86th.
The Jets finished the match with 10 men after captain Kew Jaliens was given a straight red card in the 82nd minute for a challenge on Scott Jamieson.
"Initially I didn't really see it as a red card," Newcastle coach Phil Stubbins said. "It probably looked uglier than what it actually was."
The Jets are winless after 10 rounds with just four points.
"As a coach we all go through the highs and the lows, and at the moment, it's obviously a low for the club," Stubbins said.
The Brisbane Roar beat Adelaide United 1-0 Friday on Brazilian striker Henrique's 18th-minute goal to send departing captain Matt Smith to Thailand on a winning note. Smith was released early from his contract last week to sign with Thai Premier League side FC Bangkok Glass.
Henrique exploited space on the edge of Adelaide's area before curving a shot that struck the inside of the framework.
Striker Roy Krishna's late goal earned the Wellington Phoenix a 1-1 draw with the Central Coast Mariners. Krishna chested down a looped pass from Michael McClinchey in the 78th minute before sliding the ball past goalkeeper Liam Reddy.
It was the fourth game in a row that the Fiji international has scored and it canceled out a first-half goal from Matt Simon.
