Whether in woods or mountains, adidas' Terrex Swift R2 Gore-Tex will allow you to go further. These trail running shoes have an advanced, outdoor-oriented design that can endure each kind of terrain.
These shoes' outsole, built with extra-resistant Continental™ rubber compound, makes use of adidas' trademark Traxion technology to give you excellent traction in all directions, regardless of the terrain's hardness or humidity. An adiprene layer on the midsole ensures maximum cushioning, better absorbing impact on rough terrain.
On their upper, adidas has provided a ripstop mesh to lighten the shoes' weight and increase its breathability. A Gore-Tex® membrane blended inside the mesh provides waterproof qualities, while a series of TPU reinforcements in the midfoot and the toecap keep your feet protected.
An anti-gravel tongue protects your feet's instep from stones, branches and external elements, secured by a Quicklace nylon lacing that makes putting on these shoes easier, with a snug fit as well. Its lace bungee stows laces across the midfoot to help avoid tangling and stumbling along the way.
Extend your limits above tree line. These mens lightweight hiking shoes are at home in alpine terrain. A low-cut, durable upper with speed lacing supports your feet on uneven ground, while a Continental Rubber outsole sticks to wet and dry terrain. A Breathable GORE-TEX®® membrane keeps your feet dry every step of the way.

Great sneakers
Nikolay Goncharov - 07/12/2019
Great sneakers. Really do not get wet. Perfect for late fall.
Some of the nicest light hiking shoes
Ian - 06/12/2019
Love these shoes; only slight problems with durability. They'll take lots of wear, but sometimes the rubber sole will split from the main shoe.

Goretex sneakers
Mikel - 21/09/2019
After trying several brands of this type of shoe, I really liked that Adidas has models of this type. Very good sole with good grip. Waterproof with GoreTex which is a guarantee. At first the shoes are a little hard, but little by little they are molded at the foot, lacing system similar to other brands, which I liked. With a good sock, you can use the whole year to make walks through irregular terrain, and also by city. The shipment took 2 days. Web recommended without a doubt. A lot of variety of products at a good price.

Guido - 20/08/2019
At first I had no confidence to buy, but after arriving I was happy for the decision to bet on trekking. From Argentina. My congratulations and keep it up for the world.
Good shoes, however ...
Vincent - 09/08/2019
Good shoes, conform to my expectations + very solid. However, it is imperative to take good socks in terms of thickness. In fact, the fact that shoes rub feet causes blisters, see cracks that can last for a good week. I think it's a question of adapting the feet to the shoes. Afterwards, it's a matter of habit.
Good purchase
Роман - 11/06/2019
Miracle as a product. Delivery to Odessa took 14 dіb. I plan a cupola here!
Zaida - 02/06/2019
Definitely original is original ... know that you are going to use an original product that is going to be a glove for your feet ... it is confidence ... excellent product.
Shoes purchase recention
Menta valérie - 27/05/2019
Fast and very satisfactory delivery. I already knew the shoe that corresponds to a very high quality product that combines wearability in the city and excellent strengths in the mountains in challenging walks or climbing (scary grip of the continental sole) as well as being perfectly dry in bad weather. For me, the best shoe ever. Mathieu C.
Beautiful and uncomfortable shoes for short walks
Павел - 23/04/2019
Beautiful and uncomfortable shoes for short walks. After walking a few days in sneakers, my legs were pounded, in mazols, I had to put these beautiful sneakers aside for a couple of weeks. Hard and low outsole, which makes heels sore when walking for a long time.
Solid Build
shawn - 05/04/2019
Durable hiking shoes with the capacity to withstand rough environment. The toe box is a tiny bit too wide but everything else about it is comfortable, if not, impressive.
Nice shoes
Amit Fischer - 04/04/2019
Great shoes for the trail.
Владимир - 31/03/2019
Excellent sneakers for exits to the nature or movement around the city in spring-autumn slush. Light, the size coincided by 100%. Buying a third pair. Of the minuses: rubbed under the lace of the bottom of the lacing after about a season of intensive use.
Great choice.
Vitaly - 27/03/2019
Quality goods. Delivery from Holland to Moscow took 10 days. I will advise trekkinn to my friends.
Very satisfied.
Vitalyi - 27/03/2019
Excellent product. Delivery is carried out five days before the deadline, very nice. Definitely I will use the trekkinn service more than once.
Good shoes!
Alexander Lapidus - 19/03/2019
I am satisfied with these shoes for hiking activity.
William - 06/02/2019
For me its the best design I've seen in my life. Essentially minimalist. The structure of the shoes is awesome. I heard a lot of comments about the size, but in my case the size of the shoes fit perfectly with the conversion based in US. The delivery was made in less than one month. Goretex is really amazing.
Comfortable and very flexible shoe
Manuel sanchez vilarino - 20/01/2019
They are very comfortable and flexible ideal for rainy and cold days
It is a good product.
Alex - 13/12/2018
It is a good product. I recommend you.
Frano Gršković - 24/09/2018
Super shoe
Mark - 09/09/2018
Super shoe, order 1 size bigger
Excellent Trail Shoe
Dougie - 23/08/2018
Very durable shoe with GoreTex waterproof construction. Fitting is best one size up EUR or one half size up UK/US size. Shoe is both comfortable and supportive in all areas. Sole by Continental is highly grippy as one would expect of a premium tyre manufacturer. All in all I would easily recommend this shoe, for anyone looking for lightweight trail walking or running footwear.
Topher - 18/08/2018

I-League 2017-18: Top 10 Indian players in the league
It has been another fascinating edition of I-League and at the half-way stage, the top three teams are separated by a paltry difference of only three points. We have surprise leaders in Minerva Punjab FC, who have been in outstanding form and have won seven of their nine matches. Whereas the Kolkata giants Mohun Bagan and East Bengal have struggled against much smaller sides which has made the league competitive and exciting.
Goal presents to you the list of top 10 Indian players who have stood out with their extraordinary performances on the pitch (the list is in no particular order).
Editors' Picks
- A broken club! Abject Arsenal ruthlessly exposed by Man City and De Bruyne
- Are Man Utd finally back on track or were 'Big Six' wins just another false dawn?
- Arteta casts shadow over Ljungberg as Arsenal's potential new manager arrives with Man City
- Injuries now the only threat to Liverpool's title charge as Wijnaldum limps off in Watford win
The 33-year-old veteran keeper has been in fine form under the sticks and has conceded only 5 goals with a staggering 84% save rate. It is no surprise that NEROCA FC have conceded only eight goals, second only to Minerva Punjab FC. He is expected to return soon from injury, and if the former Sporting Club de Goa goalkeeper continues his form under the sticks, we might find another North-East club lifting the I-League trophy at the end of the season.
The versatile young Manipuri defender has been a threat going forward while also marshalling his flank well in defence. The former Bengaluru FC defender has put in confidence-inspiring performances at the heart of defence as well, while pairing with Brazilian Eduardo Ferreira. He has presenting coach Khalid Jamil with a versatile option in defence.
The Mizo forward has been in sensational form for Shillong Lajong, and has made the most key passes in the final third per match than any other player. The 19-year old also has been vested with the set-piece responsibilities for Lajong and his inch-perfect deliveries in the box have been a constant threat for opposition defences.
The defensive midfielder has been incredible at the centre of the park with his ability to break-up play and initiate attacks for Mohun Bagan. The Mumbai-born midfielder's partnership along with Cameron Watson was key behind Bagan's dominance in their latest win against arch-rivals East Bengal. If the Kolkata giants are to reignite their title bid, Fernandes must continue to play a key role in midfield.
The Mizo attacking midfielder leads the charts in goal involvements among Indian players, with already three goals and two assists to his name. His partnership with Al-Amna and Katsumi Yusa in midfield and pace down the flanks provides much steam to East Bengal in the attacking third. His stellar performance against Shillong Lajong earned him the Man of the Match award as well.
Minerva Punjab are the league leaders and deservingly so, as they boast of a water-tight defence which has conceded only six goals in nine outings. Kamalpreet has been one of the pillars of Minerva's defence. He has not only performed his defensive duties with excellence but also has helped his team-mates in attack with over-lapping runs down the right.
Debutants NEROCA have surprised everyone with their brand of football which has helped reap desired results. Pritam Singh has been the workhorse for coach Gift Raikhan on the wings as the pacey winger also tracks back to help in defence. His crosses have been good and it was from his delivery from the right headed in by Subhash Singh that helped NEROCA win the North-Eastern derby against Shillong Lajong.
The Hoshiarpur-born centre-back has stood tall at the centre of defence and has been impressive so far in this edition of I-League. His partnership with Eric Dano has been excellent, which has proved crucial for Minerva. He is one of the finest tacklers in the league and has committed only six fouls in nine matches.
The Chennai City FC skipper has been a livewire in attack for V Soundarajan's side and has breezed past defenders with ease. He has completed the most number of dribbles in I-League and has also not been afraid to lunge in with tackles in the opposition half while pressing high. With a whopping 27 shots on target, he is third on the list behind team-mate Jean Joachim and Aser Dipanda.
The Manipuri forward has underwent a complete transformation under the guidance of NEROCA coach Gift Raikhan who has given him complete freedom in the attacking third. The former U-19 Indian international has been swapping wings, taking on defenders and has sometimes also paired up with Nedo Turkovic upfront in search o orgoals. He has scored match-winning goals - his 83rd-minute strike against Shillong Lajong and his brace over Indian Arrows helped Manipuri side pick up full three points from these fixtures.

Harriet Bell is Community Resilience (Food & Farming) Manager, helping Dartington to explore new ways to feed ourselves sustainably.
Previously, she worked at West Town Farm, an organic mixed farm enterprise on the outskirts of Exeter, and 10:10, an organisation that encourages schools and businesses to cut carbon emissions. More blogs from HarrietFind out more about our Queen's Marsh restoration project here ⇒
An exciting and unanticipated update on our wetland restoration project: Queen's Marsh will now be getting a bird hide thanks to students from the school of architecture at Plymouth University.
While we continue to fundraise for the remainder of the habitat work on the Bidwell Brook and the creation of a wet woodland, members of the public will now be provided with an excellent view of the newly-created ponds as a result of our evolving partnership with Plymouth University.
Last year, our Craft Revolution programme initiated a project which saw teams of second and third year architecture students compete against one another to design a Tiny House, which would be an exemplar of sustainable construction. The students then spent the autumn term working with local craftsmen to construct the winning design (which now resides in our new campsite).
The success of the inaugural project has meant that both organisations were keen to see it continue. The design brief for a bird hide to be situated in Queen's Marsh (available for download below) was given to the students on their first day back at university for the 2017-18 academic year.
During the first week of term the students have been given a crash course in bird hides with a day spent visiting Slapton Ley National Nature Reserve – and a workshop day at Dartington. The latter included conservation tours by estate warden Michael Newby, a guided tour of North Wood and talk on sustainable forestry by woodland manager, Mike Gardner, a chance to meet local bird watchers and residents, a visit to Queen's Marsh, a talk with planning and engagement manager Jo Atkey, and a tractor and trailer ride around the farm.
Each of the 17 participating teams will prepare submissions, and the winning design will be chosen by project manager Eddie Church and Dartington's estate development director, Martyn Evans.
Students will then commence their timetabling and construction of the winning design from October onwards.

...unless you are a counterfeitter, who, because of a great buy on dollar-bill-type paper, makes ten dollar bills half an inch wider then tells people that your money goes farther because it takes fewer bills, laid end-to-end, hypothetically of course, to reach the moon thus saving the American people millions in paper costs alone; or maybe making fifteen dollar bills because it takes only two rather than three to make $30 to buy a $22 birthday gift (tax included) and receive two fours in change.
Yes, the winners of the 2008 Bulwer-Lytton Fiction Contest are in... and my lead sentence was not among them.
The English department at San Jose State University has sponsored the Bulwer-Lytton Fiction Contest since 1982. The contest judges look for the worst possible opening sentence to a novel, as in, "It was a dark and stormy night..." The winner of this clever bad writing extravaganza wins $250. And come on now... who can't write bad?
The 2008 winner: "Theirs was a New York love, a checkered taxi ride burning rubber, and like the city, their passion was open 24/7, steam rising from their bodies like slick streets exhaling warm, moist, white breath through manhole covers stamped "Forged by DeLaney Bros., Piscataway, N.J." (Garrison Spik, Washington, D.C.)
Well, that was good but I enjoyed: "Like a mechanic who forgets to wipe his hands on a shop rag and then goes home, hugs his wife, and gets a grease stain on her favorite sweater--love touches you, and marks you forever." (Beth Fand Incollingo, NJ)
But my favorite: Vito watched as Robert squirmed in his life vest while the Great White brushed against his chum-soaked and shackled body, but it wasn't until the terrible fish circled back, finally ending Robert's evening, that Vito, with the vision of the legless torso undulating up and down in the Farallon current, had his epiphany and uncovered one of life's truly great myseries: when you shorten Robert, you really do get bob." (Paul Olson, CA)

School Dog Pupdate
We are delighted to announce that Cara (Gaelic for 'friend'), our proposed School Dog, has passed her first Kennel Club Test and, as a result, we are now in a position to let parents know that we definitely have a dog who is considered by the Dog's Trust, The Kennel Club and the Dogs Helping Kids guidelines to be, potentially, of the correct temperament and breed (Labradoodle) to be considered to become a fully trained School Dog.
Cara has a long way to go but we are hoping that by her first birthday (which is on the 25th March 2019), she will have passed all her tests and therefore form an integral part of the School Day at Manor Field Primary School.
Please follow her progress here.

I'm always looking for ways to spark conversation amongst people about living a cruelty-free lifestyle and what better way than by wearing a shirt with a vegan message attached?
There are more and more vegan brands popping up on social media, whether on Instagram, and Facebook and I absolutley love it!
I thought I would share my top 10 favourite vegan apparel brands right now that you too should be rocking! Not only are their designs incredibly catchy, hilarious, and unique to the brand but they also see the importance of giving back. Most of the companies I've included give proceeds to local animal organizations and shelters.
I also reached out to these lovely brands and got discount codes for all of you, hope you enjoy!
Let's dive in shall we?
Talk Vegan To Me
Wear, engage, and inspire.
Their purpose is to spark conversations about the kind and sustainable future that is possible for our world.
It's run by the three most beautiful girls (inside & out) Laine, Janel, and Andrea. These women are dedicated to creating positive change in our local community and beyond.
'TVTM clothing was created with the intention of expanding awareness around compassionate and sustainable living.'
Their belief is that everyone has the power to create a better world, whether it be through our food choices, the products we purchase or the actions that we take on a daily basis.
One huge way that they directly have an impact on helping animals is by giving back to local animal sanctuaries. They donate 10% of their proceeds to The Alice Sanctuary and Robin's Refuge.
Strong, passionate, advocates for veganism.
Below are a few of my favourite products from their brand. There's the 'bitch better have my tofu' in both the tank, and the long-sleeved sweat shirt which is so comfortable. If I could wear it everyday I totally would!
Then there's the 'that vegan life' in this amazing gold text on a muscle white tank.
The Talk Vegan To Me tote bag is a must have! Perfect for everyday, school, and even groceries!
Use discount code: SPRINGSALE @ checkout for 15% off your entire order <3
Wholesome culture is there to inspire better, healthier & plant-based lifestyles around the world.
Absolutely love everything that this brand stands for, they are hard core believers about living life in balanced harmony with nature.
They also believe that eating wholesome plant-based meals are not only great for supporting vigor and vitality, but you're also saving the animals and reducing the massive carbon output on mother Earth.
Animal consumption is responsible for 51% of the world's greenhouse gas problems.
To raise animals for food we use hundreds of thousands of gallons of water and 20% extra land just to feed the animals for slaughter.
Animal farms also produce excess manure which does not get absorbed fast enough and thus we have excess pollution.
Next up is Vegetaryn, 'funny and punny vegan tees.'
Create aWEARness.
Vegetaryn is a website ran by Taryn who not only sells these amazing clothes but also runs a blog, shares tons of delicious plant-based recipes, as well as videos.
Below are a few of my must-have products from her line. There is the 'not milk' t-shirt which is by far my favourite. People always stop to look at it, and ask why I wear it. I like to rock this tee at local coffee shops! Then there's the 'lettuce eat plants' sweatshirt which is not only hilarious but is also super comfortable.
She also has collections that feature other vegans including 'basic vegan bitch.' You can follow her on Instagram @thebasicveganbitch
Shop here, and see below for inspiration!
Use discount code: PLANTS @ checkout for 10% off your entire order <3
Crazies And Weirdos
One small company. One loud message. One powerful mission.
Every 3 months they launch a new t-shirt campaign supporting one specific animal group they feel needs attention. Their strategy is to bring public awareness to the crises these animals are experiencing. They will campaign on behalf of the featured animal for 3 months before retiring the campaign and starting a new t-shirt campaign for a new group of animals needing their help.
Want to know more? Click here for all their campaigning information.
Here are a few of my favourite shirts from this inspirational brand including the 'feed a girl vegan food and watch her take over the world' crop top, and 'no chill when it comes to animal rights.' This shirt describes me to a T! Literally..?
Use discount code: crueltyfreewithme @ checkout for a surprise % off your entire order <3
These tee's are a fun way to help you spread the message of compassion, living life as a vegan, and making the connection that animals are friends not food.
Founder Tan says, "Our tees are sent all over the world. Each time we send an order off it is so heart warming to know that we are connecting with a beautiful human who will rock their tee so there will be even more walking talking billboards for veganism."
One of my favourites from this brand is the 'Young, wild, and cruelty-free," t-shirt.
I recently came across this brand because I kept seeing photos of girls with the words 'vegan booty' across their hineys and I thought to myself, "I NEED THIS!"
iApparel are the creators of this amazing design/print.
They also give back by supporting independent artists. It's the backbone of our philosophy. We take a lot of pride in exposing and supporting new talent. I think one of the great gifts we can give back to our community is to advertise, promote and believe in someone that no one knows or has ever heard of."
To shop the rest of their products click here.
Use discount code: crueltyfreewithme @ checkout for $5 off your entire order <3
Although this is NOT a t-shirt brand, you can however add the products to your shirts for that extra POP!

Brave Tiny Puppy Challenges Larger Doberman Dog
David against Goliath. The little guy versus the big guy. The age old story is one that has been told from one generation to the next, giving the little guy a bit more confidence when going up against the big one.
Here in this video, we have a similar story, except instead of man and a giant, we have a little Doberman puppy going against its full grown counterpart. You could call the puppy the under-dog!
Watch as this adorable puppy named Kyra goes up against Boss, a much larger Doberman dog, while playing in the family backyard. She has no fear! This adorable pup definitely puts up a valiant effort, although we think it is safe to say that the much larger dog is equally eager to play with the tiny chocolate version of himself.
The Dobie's fierce reputation precedes him. He is feared by those who don't know him, stereotyped as highly aggressive and vicious. True, he is a formidable guardian, but he is usually a gentle, watchful, and loving dog. He does not go looking for trouble, but he is fearless and will defend his family and turf if he perceives danger.
The Doberman Pinscher enjoys being part of a family. He likes to be close to those he loves and, when this love is present, he is a natural protector. He is trustworthy with his family's children, friends, and guests as long as he is treated kindly.
Love Them!1 rumble

Welcome to Add Lib, your Tuesday report on POP! Goes The Charts that's mad about CHR/Top 40 adds, based on the station data provided by Mediabase 24/7 and Add Board. This week: guess who swiftly took the Most Added spot? I'll give you one guess. She's dominating once again, and we're here to talk about it, so let's go:
DON'T "LOOK" NOW, BUT…: Well, if you didn't see this one coming, you might be living under a rock. Otherwise, please send your congratulations to superstar Taylor Swift, who clears all 187 stations on the Top 40 panel in one week with "Look What You Made Me Do". After shattering Spotify and YouTube records, she also has the record for the largest amount of adds in one week on any given Top 40 adds report during the PPW era, which began in April 1994, per the Radio & Records methodology change. (That 187 number was surpassed over 20 times before the charts used reported/monitored spin data.) Swift's hot release is also the Most Added title this week at three additional U.S. formats: AC (16 adds), Hot AC (92 adds) and Rhythmic (32 adds). Up north, her tune is the Most Added song at the Hot AC (19 adds) and Top 40 (30 adds) radio formats in Canada. With over 380 stations reporting it as an add across North America, it's a sure bet that this smash will continue to dominate the charts.
1. TAYLOR SWIFT, "Look What You Made Me Do" (Big Machine/Republic)
2. JUSTIN BIEBER & BLOODPOP, "Friends" (GENPOP/Def Jam/Republic)
3. HALSEY, "Bad At Love" (Astralwerks/Capitol)
4. PORTUGAL. THE MAN, "Feel It Still" (Atlantic)
5. DUA LIPA, "New Rules" (Warner Bros.)
6. PRETTYMUCH, "Would You Mind" (Syco/Columbia)
7-T. BLACKBEAR, "Do Re Mi" (Beartrap/Alamo/Interscope)
7-T. SABRINA CARPENTER, "Why" (Hollywood)
9. THE SCRIPT, "Rain" (Columbia)
10-T. LOGIC featuring ALESSIA CARA & KHALID, "1-800-273-8255" (Def Jam)
10-T. MILEY CYRUS, "Younger Now" (RCA)

Those saddened by the loss of Warner Bros.' FilmStruck will soon have a new streaming service option, as The Criterion Channel launches in April. In today's ever-growing streaming subscription marketplace, there's a service meant to cover just about every niche, as well as a multitude of generalized services such as Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Prime. For wrestling fans, there's the WWE Network, for horror lovers, there's Shudder, for superhero devotees, there's DC Universe, and for classic film fans, there used to be FilmStruck.
That was until the October 2018 announcement that Warner Bros. was set to close down FilmStruck. This move drew shocked and saddened reactions from those who appreciate vintage films, including several prominent filmmakers, such as Guillermo del Toro and Rian Johnson. Sadly, those pleas to reconsider fell on deaf ears, and FilmStruck streamed its last film at the end of November. One of the marquee features of FilmStruck was the inclusion of The Criterion Collection, which owns the rights to many amazing classic films.
Related: 24 Best Movies Of 2018, According To Rotten Tomatoes (And 6 Stuck With 0%)
Last fall, Criterion announced that since FilmStruck was closing, they would take it upon themselves to create their own streaming service called The Criterion Channel. Their target for launching the service was spring 2019, and sure enough, Criterion has now announced that The Criterion Channel will officially launch on April 8. Those interested can sign up now as a "Charter Subscriber," locking in reduced pricing for both the monthly and annual plans, as long as their subscription remains active.
Additionally, Charter Subscribers to The Criterion Channel receive a free 30-day trial period starting on April 8, and can get pre-launch access to select titles via Criterion's Movie of the Week series. The price difference for Charter Subscribers isn't really that much, but it's still a savings worth getting for those who can't get enough classic movies. The normal Criterion Channel cost is set to be $10.99 per month or $99.99 annually, while Charter Subscribers pay $9.99 per month or $89.99 annually as long as their account stays active.
At launch, The Criterion Channel will be available to watch on computers via a web browser, Roku, Amazon Fire TV, iOS, and Android devices. Criterion's announcement didn't specify whether or not further devices - such as gaming consoles - will be supported in the future. In addition to the entire Criterion Collection library, The Criterion Channel is said to include "constantly refreshed selections of Hollywood, international, art-house, and independent movies." While that certainly sounds appealing, one wonders if The Criterion Channel will be able to license some of the big guns from the Warner Bros. library that FilmStruck boasted, such as Casablanca and Citizen Kane.

Parador de Vic-Sau
Wonderful location, super pool, great food.
Well, this is a real 4* hotel.Everything will please you, believe me. The reception, the room, the food, the swimming pool.. are all just perfect.I recommend to visit the monastery and the Vic town as well.
Superb hotel in a stunning location.
We stayed in 2011 and had a most wonderful time; we had a great view of the Sau Reservoir and the pool and the breakfast was awesome as was the accommodation. No space to put 2011 in your year, so have put 2015.
superb views over lake; comfortable ambience; nice pool
Very nice!
nice place with a beautifull vieuw. we made some walking trips and in the afternoon swimming in the pool.
Isolated in the mountains. Beautiful building and gardens overlooking a wooded reservoir hiding a sunken village with only the church spire peeping above the surface of the water. Thoroughly recommended.
Wonderful location and fantastic views with a great reception, wonderful rooms and a great outdoor pool. Staff were wonderful and the food in the restaurant exceptional, with the exception of the creme catalán which was 'grainy' and when we complained, was met with a comment of 'have you had creme catalán before! Well, living in Catalonia for the last 4 years, the answer is yes and it should be smooth!!!

Yoga dates back to pre-Vedic Indian tradition and is considered a powerhouse for channelizing your inner energy. At that time, yoga was performed to bring spiritual enlightenment and a sense balance between mind, body, and soul.
But, in the 21st century, yoga has become more of a workout that people are taking over to lead a healthy and peaceful life. Different people have a different take on the benefits of yoga, but, yoga and its benefit in losing weight have always remained under scrutiny.
However, the truth is, yoga when performed on a regular basis can be a great way to shed those extra kilos. Yoga poses to lose weight remain light on your joints. Thus any person of any age can perform them with much ease. Though if a person is suffering from any pre-condition of joint or back pain, then it is advisable to perform yoga poses for weight loss under supervision.
Here are the five fab yoga poses that can burn your excess fat efficiently
1. Kapal Bhati Pranayam
KapalBhati pranayama is the best way to begin your yoga exercises for weight loss. The powerful breathing exercise helps in oxygenating your body. It also strengthens the muscles around the stomach and abdomen, thus promoting fitter abs. If you are aspiring to have a flat tummy, then kapalbhati can be an excellent start as it will melt away your love handles while bringing improvements to your digestion process as well. Caution: many people experience soreness around the abdomen area initially, so do not get worried about it. Patients suffering from a hernia, high blood pressure or any heart disorder should avoid performing this asana.
2. ArdhaMatsyendrasana – Half Spine Twist
ArdhaMatsyendrasana is considered beneficial for increasing the capacity of your lungs. Strong lungs allow you to inhale and hold more oxygen while practicing yoga. The stretch that your body experiences while performing ardhamatsyendrasana helps in toning abdominal and thigh muscles. This asana stimulates the digestive system thus improving digestion of food that aids in effective weight loss.
Caution: Any one suffering from health conditions like back pain or spine injury should not perform this pose as it might aggravate their problem.
3. Kumbhakasana – Plank Pose
If you want to tone and strengthen your arms, then Kumbhakasana is the best choice. It also works wonders for your shoulders, back buttocks, abs, and thighs. This asana can be your complete body workout for weight loss if performed correctly.
Caution: If you have persistent shoulder pain or injury then you must avoid performing this asana. Patients suffering from high blood pressure are also advised to avoid doing this pose.
4. Uttanasana – Forward Bending Pose
If you want to put pressure and lose fat from your hamstrings and abdomen, then uttanasana is all you need to perform every day. Correct formation of this asana also improves blood circulation in your head and helps your nervous system to switch from sympathetic to parasympathetic. Uttanasan also makes your body calm and relaxed.
Caution: People suffering from back pain or injury are not advised to perform this asana.
5. Vasisthasana – Sage Pose
Vasishtasana is especially beneficial in improving balance and flexibility to a great extent. Correct formation of this pose works on your core muscles, arms and shoulders that help in melting down extra fat.
Caution: People who have gone through any wrist, elbow or shoulder injury should avoid performing this asana as it may aggravate their pain.
If you are new to yoga for weight loss, then these yoga poses can give you a great start that you are looking for. They are easy to perform, and once you are comfortable doing these, you can move to more challenging asanas. Performing yoga on a daily basis will not only help in cutting the flab but will also bring you peace of mind.

To finish up, select your ideal match's age range and location.Profiles are pretty sparse, with not much else to share other than what was completed during the signup process.Rest assured, when you sign up for one of these dating sites, you will see a bunch of amazingly attractive women.Should you decide to sign up for the online dating sites I recommend below, be sure to read member profiles carefully as you might come across a lot of fake profiles. A woman who has only one picture posted, is wearing a form-fitting dress and making an overly suggestive pose are usually clear signals to steer clear.Sign up Process Signing up is fast and simple, requiring a username/password, email, birthday, height/weight, your gender and your gender of interest to get started.The next page prompts you to write a headline for your profile, a short blurb about yourself, and select your education level, language English and Thai language abilities, and if you have/want children.

Rosenberg — Woman Dies After Elderly Man Loses Control of Vehicle At Car Wash
Posted on Wednesday, May 1st, 2019 at 8:21 pm by Williams Hart
At approximately 10:45 a.m. on Sunday, April 28, 2019, a woman was killed in a freak vehicular accident that occurred in Rosenberg, Texas.
According to initial reports, the woman's car was stopped at the Blue Wave Car Wash, located at 6622 Reading Road. An elderly man who was backing out of a parking space lost control of his vehicle, which then caused him to strike many vehicles, including the woman's. The woman was then pinned against a steel beam, and she was brought to the hospital where she later died.
Investigation is still ongoing for this accident.
It is unfortunate to hear of the death of the unidentified woman. Alas, she is not the only one whose life is taken away by a vehicular accident. Car accidents are a problem in this day and age, and yet they still continue to happen on a regular basis. In a statistics provided by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), car accidents occur almost every minute of every day, and for every 16 minutes, someone dies from a car accident. This can be translated to be about 6 million car accidents every year and about 37,000 people dying from them.
Moreover, statistics show that about 16% of these car accidents are crashes where the vehicle leaves the road. In this type of car crash, a car would usually collide into a lamppost, a tree, or a building, etc. Lamppost and tree collisions comprise about 31% of fatalities in this type of vehicular accident.
Car accidents are quite difficult to the victims and their respective families. Thankfully, there are lawyers that specialize in car accidents, so if you are a victim of this kind of accident, or you know someone who is, or you lost a loved one because of this, then please never hesitate to ask for help from these lawyers. They will help you in protecting your rights and in getting you the justice that you deserve.

Here at Swansea Campus we're very pleased to announce our outstanding AS and A level results. The achievements of our students are a testament not only to how hard they have all worked and the exceptional dedication they have put into their studies this year, but also the success of self-directed learning. All our students have whole-heartedly embraced this brand new concept and implemented it into their studies, achieving far more than we ever hoped they would, as is reflected in these results.
A Level Results
We had a fantastic set of A level results this summer, with a pass rate of 100%. Between them the six graduates, which included one SEN student, achieved a total of 18 full A levels, all of them grade A* to E. In addition to this, they reached a grade A* to E in a total of 10 separate AS level qualifications and other free standing qualifications, alongside their A levels. Every graduate had enough points to enter a university and two out of the six students attained points equivalent to 3 As, which is a tremendous achievement. A huge congratulations all of you for your hard work and dedication!
AS Level Results
Our AS level results at Swansea Campus were equally impressive and again there was a 100% pass rate. The six students achieved a total of 23 AS levels, all of them grade A to E. This is a fantastic accomplishment, a big well done to everyone!

If you're reading this, you're probably a mom. Odds are, you gave birth to a human. Or maybe you adopted or foster your kiddo! Either way, life changes A LOT post-kids. It's a whole new type of busy, one you can't understand until you're knee deep in the chaos. Some people are killing the motherhood game in ways that are way beyond me. I certainly am not as good at momming as some if y'all, what with your organic homemade baby purees and sensory exploration DIY boards. For real, you're putting the rest of us to shame. Go you!
But if you're one of the world's okayest moms like me, you probably eat a little too much fast food. Lunch is a combination of leftovers with some lunch meat slapped onto some bread. Sensory play is your kid dumping out your cold coffee onto the freshly mopped kitchen floor. Solidarity, fellow hot mess mom.
I'm all about making your life as a mom easier. Who has time to wear cute stuff? Heck, who has time to shower? Not I. I'm not about that "buttoned and zipped" pants life. My McDonald's belly and my low effort butt are much happier inside pants that don't make me feel lumpy.
Pajama Pants
One of my friends routinely wore pajama pants in college. Eventually her mom tossed all the comfy pants and bought her a bunch of cute little skirts and sweater sets. Not joking; this really happened. A decade later, I am proudly rocking pajama pants at least twice a week. Lazy mornings aren't meant for fussy clothes! I'd rather have an all-day jammie fest than wrestle my toddler into a button-down. No judgement here, mama. You do you. SpongeBob, teddy bear, floral - I don't care what your motif is, as long as you're wearing those pajamas proudly.
Yoga pants
Let's be honest, yoga pants are ridiculously comfortable. They allow you to move freely without pinching any part of your mom-bod; does it get better than this? Bonus: you can play yoga pants so many ways! You can do yoga in them, natch. They're also perfect for a run to the store, pharmacy, or school drop-off. Everyone will think you're on your way to yoga, even if you're just on your way to Taco Bell. The truly committed will wear them for 24 hours straight and turn those yoga pants into pajama pants. Perfect for giving people the impression that you have your life together when you're really hanging on by a thread.
Fitness (Taco In My Mouth) Pants
As I write this, I'm curled up on a bench at the world's coolest park, wearing Old Navy athletic leggings. Listen, LuLuLemon: you're too expensive and you're kind of a cult and just no. I wear athletic pants because it gives me a reason to go to the gym. Not even joking, if I can just pick up and GO I'm far more likely to actually workout. But even that's a rarity. No, I mostly wear these pants because they go with everything. I buy basic black pants so I can fake people into thinking I own, like, ten pairs. Really I'm just washing them (maybe) and rewearing. My mom-bad loves the super high waistbands. Even with my tiger stripes, I feel ok wearing just athletic pants and a sports bra in my own backyard. ….I'm too sensitive to try it in public, real talk. But someday! If I keep wearing them, maybe I'll lose my back fat by osmosis.
The moral of the story is this: wear whatever you want. You're shaping the next generation and you deserve to be comfortable while you do it. So let your low effort flag fly and embrace the best pants for moms: that is, any pants without buttons or zippers.
What do you wear for your "mom uniform"? Tell me where to find the comfiest pants and I'll blow a kiss at you on Twitter @pi3sugarpi3. (But for real - I will!)

In a previous post, I was lamenting the difficulty I was having in getting good stamp impressions out of some of my cling stamps. I did some research across various forums and websites, and here are some tips I ran across. I haven't had time to try all of them, but my results are improving, and I am highly optimistic that after some experimentation I will find a method that works consistently for me.
- Not all clear stamps are the same.
- Photopolymer process stamps tend to be easier to ink, and work with, but also more expensive (e.g., Flourishes, Simon Says Stamp brand, My Favorite Things).
- Cheaper silicone or acrylic clear stamps might take more experimenting to get a good impression (e.g., Scrappy Cat, Inkadinkado). However, not all "acrylic" stamps are equal either. There are reports that a few brands (e.g., Penny Black, Recollections, Martha Stewart, Fiskars), are acrylic but are less squishable and less prone to image quality problems.
- Photopolymer stamps often have a weird initial smell, in case that helps identify what you have.
- Now that I know there is a difference, I realize that I haven't had a problem so far with the photopolymer clear stamps, just the acrylic ones. And I'm curious now to try the "better quality acrylic" stamps, like the Martha Stewart ones I have picked up, to see if they less troublesome than other acrylic brands.
Stamping Surface and pressure:
- Many users recommend using a mousepad, a pad of papers, or some other cushioning under the paper for a good impression.
- Make a test stamp on scrap paper, and try different paper types as well if image quality is a problem.
- Be careful not to use too much pressure, as some clear stamps, especially smaller designs, can be squished out of shape causing a blurred impression. I have seen this problem on some small snowflakes that I have!
- There are some acrylic blocks that have foam feet that are meant to both give cushion and even pressure, although they seem like they would be annoying to ink to me!
- Of course, everyone has different favorite brands. But it seems that the acrylic stamps do better with types that are pigment-based, or water-resistant "archival" inks.
- Dye-based (e.g., Distress inks) tend to bead up on the surface of clear acrylic stamps, giving a poor impression. I have certainly experienced this, as most of the ink colors that I have are dye-based. I never realized there was so much variation in ink types!
- Solvent-based inks (e.g., StazOn) are supposed to lead to deterioration of clear stamps, although I'm not sure if this includes acrylic as well as photo-polymer stamps. It make sense to my mind that solvents would be bad on photopolymer, as I think it's more chemically fragile. I would be surprised if the acrylic stamps were as susceptible to damage from solvent-based inks.
- A lot of people in forums specifically mentioned having good luck with Colorbox Chalks on clear acrylic stamps. Although both Colorbox and Colorbox Chalks are pigment-based, the Colorbox Chalks are considered quick-drying while regular Colorbox have glycerin-extended drying times to make them better for embossing. I suspect the glycerin would cause beading up just like water-based dye pads.
Cleaning the Stamp:
- The manufacturing process may leave residues on the acrylic stamp. Supposedly this is not an issue with photopolymer. Washing clear stamps with mild soap and warm water may help and certainly won't hurt.
- After reading this tip, I used a strong light and looked at some of the stamps that I hadn't used yet (and had never cleaned). I noticed that the unused acrylic stamps did seem to have a bit of slightly yellowish residue on the surface. Cleaning the stamps well did seem to help the impressions a bit, but alone did not seem to be enough to get a perfect image.
- Beware of lint.
- Avoid using solvent-based cleaners and cleaners meant for removing solvent-based inks, as these may lead to deterioration of clear stamps.
The Stamp's Surface (*WARNING: none of these tips are universally recommended, use extreme caution because these methods may ruin the stamp):
I am providing these tips, with warnings, because sometimes it's better to use a potentially tool-destructive method than not be able to use a tool at all. I am optimistic that these won't be necessary if some of the other methods are employed first.
- SEE ABOVE WARNING*: Some users recommend scuffing the surface of the acrylic stamp with a pink or white eraser. More recommended the pink.
- UPDATE: I have discovered that Bo Bunny Stamps recommend on their packaging to rub their stamps with a pink eraser before each use for better inking. So maybe this is not such a dangerous idea after all.
- SEE ABOVE WARNING*: Even more scary, some users had success scuffing the surface of the acrylic stamp with very fine sandpaper! I would say this should be a last resort.
- SEE ABOVE WARNING*: Some users had positive results by inking the stamp first in an archival or solvent-based, letting it dry, and then inking in the desired manner. As an added step, some of these users recommend never cleaning off that initial layer of ink. Again, not recommended because of the risk of the stamp chemically deteriorating over time.
Stamps Losing their Adhesion to the Acrylic Block:
- Double stick tape, or Aleene's Tack it Over & Over will get the job done.
So that's what I've learned over the past few days! I'll try some of these methods out over the next several days as I finish up my holiday card-making. I have to say it's a little frustrating to find that these acrylic stamps are so fiddly, since I have a few of them around. Hopefully, I will get a good solution worked out.
Until next time, keep those fingers inky…

Athlone 0-7 Garrycastle 0-14
A very disappointing performance saw our seniors exit the Championship at the hands of near neighbours Garrycastle in their quarter-final played in Tubberclair on Sunday afternoon.
Garrycastle raced out of the blocks and were four points to the good within four minutes, as the Athlone defence struggled to get to grips with their lively full-forward line. A long-range John Connellan point got Athlone on the scoreboard after 12 minutes, but Garrycastle were dominant all over the park and added the next three scores to lead by 0-7 to 0-1 at the 20-minute mark. Noel Mulligan got Athlone's second from a free, but the deficit was soon back to six when a defensive turnover led to another Garrycastle point. An excellent injury time effort from Shane Allen brought the first half scoring to a close, as Athlone went in at the break with it all to do, trailing by 0-8 to 0-3.
Athlone needed a good start to the second half, but, despite holding possession in the Garrycastle half for the opening minutes, they were unable to create a clearcut opportunity and instead it was their opponents who stretched their lead on the break. Both sides were also reduced to 14 men in this period when Mickey Greene and Matthew Guiheen were both issued red cards for an off the ball incident. Athlone did then enjoy their best spell of the game and a Ryan Gaffey point, followed by two Ray Connellan frees either side of a similar Garrycastle score, left four points between them with 20 minutes remaining. However, Athlone were unable to build on this momentum and three Garrycastle points between the 45th and 50th minutes put the game beyond them. A Noel Mulligan point did reduce the gap to six but Athlone were unable to fashion the goal chance they needed in a scrappy final 10 minutes and instead it was Garrycastle who closed the scoring with a point from sub Ger Heneghan. Despite it not being a dirty game, there was still time for another sending off for each team, as Athlone's Darren Costello and Garrycastle's James Dolan each received second yellows, while Athlone finished with 12 men when Jordan Marshment was black carded after six substitutions had been made.
Athlone: Conal Sheeran, James Finlass, Matthew Darling, Damien Kelly, Shane Allen (0-1), Noel Mulligan (0-2), Jordan Marshment, Ray Connellan (0-2), Alan Gaughan, Kieran Colclough, John Connellan (0-1), Daniel Reid, Ryan Gaffey (0-1), Jack Quinn, Mickey Greene Subs Used: Darren Magee, John Stapleton, Fergal Murray, Darren Costello, Diarmuid Martin, Tom Egan.

With great desire to have a sound sleep away from snores and noises, a company came up about 2 years ago with this incredible smart earplugs. the company that goes by the name Hush suddenly disappeared off the grid and was no longer responding to public views. Investigations have now revealed the secret behind the long silence, Hush was acquired by Bose, which has brought back the noise-repelling buds with a crowdfunding campaign on Indiegogo.
These new earplugs have gone through extra redesign from what Hush modeled but the basic tech has not been tampered with. It still has its functions to block sleep-disturbing sounds like dog barks, snores, noisy neighbors, road traffic through isolating ear tips and pleasant sound to replace the noise. These Sleepbuds come with an alarm that you will set in the Bose Sleep App, they also have a case for one full recharge.
The idea of Crowdfunding is to help the company put the product to test and gauge the market interest with the help of the fans. Then after the bugs have been fixed, the product either runs into the market for world distribution of its dropped as another failed project. We can not really blame companies like Bose for choosing this technique, it is a high reward and low-risk platform for them. All thanks to the websites Indiegogo and Kickstarter that takes up the challenge of the crowdfunding.
The idea has so much worked as Bose has already raised almost half a million dollars from few thousand backers. Though the campaign has about 23 days left and won't be delivering goods until February 2018, all the pricing tier from $150 to $185 have been sold out already. There might just be another tier opening up soon to match up the high rate of demand on the product.

Caring to make a difference for Christmases to come
As we move towards Christmas, I am reminded that there are those in the community who will look at this time of year with anxiety and apprehension.
Christmas is a time of joy when families are drawn together but for too many Australians it will be a period fraught with disappointment and feelings of sadness.
Many, through no fault of their own, will feel sidelined as the nation celebrates. Some will experience a feeling of exclusion and the absence of wholeness that family life gives.
One group I am conscious who could fall into this category are young people leaving foster care. Currently there are around 40,000 children and young people in foster care across Australia.
Wesley Mission is one of NSW's largest private providers of out of home care and I am acutely aware of the importance of the challenges facing young people who are transitioning to independent living.
Many children and young people have little or no family support. As they leave school, often early, they generally also farewell their foster parents and make an attempt to live independently as young adults. There is almost no support to help these young people successfully take charge of their own lives. Many are alone and isolated, forced to navigate a system that can be intimidating, confusing and unforgiving. Sadly, some young people just give up.
It comes as no surprise that young people leaving foster care are less likely to finish school or pursue higher education. More than a third of those leaving foster care become homeless within a year.
Some even become involved in crime. The statistics for boys and young men are telling: around 50 per cent end up in the justice system.
Others face financial difficulties and struggle into adult life. Few have extended family or community networks to fall back upon.
Yet we know that with the right resources and support that situation can be changed. Poor outcomes and an unsound future are not inevitable.
For some young people it will mark the start of a new chapter in their lives and for others a resolution of their hopes and dreams. The pieces will come together to provide structure and surety.
It is important that for a Christian organisation like Wesley Mission that we never give up caring. It is important that we continue to strongly support young people in their late teens as they transition to independent living.
That is why for many years, I have been strongly advocating for the extension of support for young people in foster care from 18 to 21 years. As has been found in countries overseas, young people who have their support extended to 21 years are more likely to remain engaged in education and training, live in secure accommodation and are less likely to become engaged with the justice system.
The intrinsic value of increasing support is not just a financial one, although this support is vitally important. Wesley Mission knows from its own experience that appropriate accommodation with wrap- around support services is critical for young people to achieve their goals.
They also need a safe place to call home and support from adults they can trust, particularly when sharing their dreams, and their doubts. They need a friend they can turn to knowing they will get a good hearing and the right information. Most of all they feel they are not alone and are understood.
At Wesley Herring House and Wesley Lynford Lodge at Carlingford, Wesley Mission is making this a reality. Two years ago with the support of the Property Industry Foundation, the Rotary Club of Sydney and the Cottee Foundation, we began the process of renovating both buildings.
Today the buildings are home to up to 22 young people who have left foster care and are 'on the way' and committed to the journey of personal development and achievement. They receive 24-hour support and ongoing case management as they study or seek work and learn life skills like cooking and budgeting. They also set personal goals for education and employment.
It is here that their key needs are met, to ensure that they are immediately safe, happy and secure and can potentially grow into happy, confident adults, without losing more of their adolescent years than they already have.
Having a consistent carer or mentor around also makes it more likely that young people will be able to develop a broader social and recreational life. It also allows them to make mistakes and push boundaries with adults who know and accept them during this time.
Without stability and the continuity of good relationships and attachment, a young person will struggle to have the confidence and support to fully explore their identity, a sense of belonging, and as part of that, their surroundings and boundaries.
At Wesley Mission we believe that every life matters. Our caring does not stop at 18 years or even 21 years. We walk with people on their journey through life so that Christmases to come are celebrated with a true sense of joy, connectedness and belonging.

Garden Design
Step One: Initial ConsultationI offer a no obligation initial consultation on site, at which we talk about:
- What you would like your garden to provide
- Any garden style preferences or particular interests you have which we might reflect in your garden
- Whether a site survey is required
- Cost of the plans
- How the project can be tailored to your particular needs and budget
This initial consultation is free of charge if you live within half an hour's drive of Hoxne, Suffolk. Mileage and travelling time may be charged for longer distances, though only with your prior agreement. Fees for the garden layout plan - a bird's eye view of how your garden will look, showing key features but not specific plants - vary according to the size and complexity of the project.
Step Two: Site SurveyThe Site Survey includes an accurate recording of the dimensions and positions of existing buildings, windows, doors etc; any construction to be retained, paving, walling, boundaries; visible, underground and overhead services; existing trees and shrubs which are to be retained in position or re-used in alternative positions; existing ground levels and photographs which assist with the overall site analysis and orientation. The survey is drafted and incorporates any alterations that may be proposed to the house footprint and/or outbuildings. I can advise you during the initial visit on whether any plans you have are adequate. If you already have an outline survey, perhaps prepared by your architect, but it doesn't show quite enough detail, then we may be able simply to add this information. If you do not have a site plan, I might survey your garden myself (occasionally with an assistant) which keeps costs down. For larger sites I would recommend we have a survey carried out by a land surveyor, employed directly by you. I can arrange this on your behalf if you like. The surveyor measures the area electronically and presents it in CAD and paper format, usually within two weeks. Once I receive a surveyor's plans I can start to work up your design.
Step Three: Design
The design will be based on the brief discussed during the initial site meeting. It will be to scale and includes hand drawn plans, mood boards and perhaps perspectives to give a clear understanding of how the finished garden will look. The design plan will show shapes of features such as walls, paths, pergolas and paved areas, water features, planting beds, hedges, trees and lawns. I present the drawings to you and answer any questions you may have. Once you have had a chance to familiarise yourself with the new design, I offer one additional re-draw if any amendments are needed. Further alterations can still be made after this but will be charged on an hourly basis.

concert, jam night, Music, music at rhs, music concert, RHS, rhs concert, RHS Music, the royal hospital school
On Sunday 9 February, after a hugely successful Scholars' Concert the preceding evening, crowds thronged once again to the Burns Recital Hall, this time to a Jam Night organised and run by our own in-house songster legend Tom Craggs-Ward.
This event saw several talented pupils (and Mr Hodges in a startling and moving cameo appearance) given the chance to perform in a relaxed, non-classical context. There were well-received contributions from the Year 9 band White Flag, Andrew Egan and his band, Holly Bird in a virtuosic cup solo and George Rennison. It would be fair, however, to say that the twin highlights of the evening were the closing performances by Tom Craggs-Ward's alter ego, the marvellous Tom Layer, and Tom McConnell, son of the School Chaplain, who is currently touring the UK. Both of these young singer/songwriters showed themselves at the top of their game, using loop pedals to ingenious effect and eliciting ecstatic responses from the large audience.
The evening was all the more remarkable for being entirely student-run, and Tom deserves tremendous praise for putting on such a slick and entertaining a show. Thanks also must go to Alex Crawford-Ewart for his assistance with sound. We hope that this will be the first of many such events and look forward to the next!
