Choose the Right Workout
You have a lot of variety to choose from, in fact, four different types of exercise: aerobic, strength, flexibility and balance.
Aerobic exercises are all about endurance and lead to increased breathing and heart rate. A brisk walk, jogging, dancing, gardening, skipping, swimming and sports like tennis can all be classified as aerobic exercises. These activities keep your circulation and lungs in check, helping to prevent illnesses such as heart disease.
Strength exercises refer to exercises you perform with weights, resistance bands or when using resistance machines at the gym. Exercises that require you to lift your own body weight, such as squats and press ups, also fall under this category. Such exercises can help to strengthen your bones and muscles, and older adults will find them particularly important as they carry out everyday tasks such as carrying the shopping bags or keeping one's balance.
Exercises that improve your flexibility are the least essential of the four, but if you do choose activities that improve your flexibility, you can also help to maintain a wide range of motion. Diseases like arthritis can limit one's range of motion so regularly stretching parts of the body or practicing yoga can help to keep your body limber for longer.
Balance helps support agility and prevent injury, yet many of us still take our balance for granted. If you don't want to fall victim to, well, falling, then it's important to start integrating exercises that help to minimize risk. Standing on one foot and heel-to-toe walking are simple solutions, or, if you want something more intentional, you could try practicing tai chi.
Top Tips for Staying in Shape
• Enjoy a post-workout snack – don't obsess over the calories, you need a snack to refuel and recover
• Perfect your technique – incorrect exercises will be ineffective
• Choose short-term goals – long-term goals could cause you to feel overwhelmed
• Find a friend – working out with someone can keep you in check, plus you can chat while you jog
• Don't deny yourself indulgences– going cold turkey will only lead to relapsing
• Count your reps backwards – you'll think about what you have left rather than what you've done
• Start with the exercise you dislike – avoidance probably highlights a weakness you need to combat
• Drink a protein shake immediately after you exercise – you're more likely to gain muscle
• Keep a workout journal – monitoring your progress will keep you motivated
• Don't over train – rest days give your body time to repair; this can make muscles stronger
Using these tips to choose the right workout and stay in shape can keep you looking better and feeling better all year round. Just remember to find time to workout, whatever exercise it is, to ensure you're leading a healthy lifestyle. Of course, you can always amp up your strength and nutrition by incorporating some of our favorite Forever products like ARGI+, Forever Move and Forever Lite Ultra.

Are you a college basketball or football writer who constantly tweets while covering games? Cut that shit out when you're at the University of Washington. The university has implemented limitations on tweeting about football and basketball games, because...well, we're not really sure. No media members had been warned of excessive tweeting, until Todd Dybas of the Tacoma News Tribune unknowingly crossed the line Sunday while covering the Huskies' men's basketball opener against Loyola (MD).
As Taylor Soper of GeekWire points out, the university has a "Live Coverage Policy" in place for media members. According to Dybas, this policy was enacted before the start of the football season:
Periodic updates of scores, statistics or other brief descriptions of the competition throughout the event are acceptable, as long as they do not exceed the recommended frequency (20 total in-game updates for basketball, 45 total in-game updates for football). Credential Holder agrees that the determination of whether an outlet is posting a real-time description shall be in UW's sole discretion. If UW deems that a Credential Holder is producing a real-time description of the contest, UW reserves all actions against Credential Holder, including but not limited to the revocation of the credential.
Although it's an awful idea to limit a media's tweeting capacity—if it gets that bad, there already is a thing called Twitter jail, guys—is anyone really going to glean any crucial knowledge from tweets like "What touch!"? Most beat writers would be well served to tone down the live-tweeting a bit.

Headers For Hope Release
BALTIMORE – The UMBC women's soccer team will participate in a pair of events over the weekend, traveling to Howard High School in Columbia, Md. to take part in Headers For Hope on Saturday, April 12 and following with its annual alumni game on Sunday, April 13 at the UMBC Stadium.
Games will open at 9 a.m. on Saturday morning in a women's soccer showcase that features Navy, West Point, George Mason, Loyola and UMBC. The Retrievers will take on Navy at 1 p.m. and follow with a matchup against George Mason at 3:45 p.m. The showcase costs ten dollars to enter, with all the money going to the Ulman Cancer Fund for Young Adults.
Headers For Hope was established in honor of every individual who has been diagnosed with cancer; every family member who has held the hand of their loved one being treated for cancer; and all friends acting as a support system to someone who has been told the news they have cancer. The Ulman Cancer Fund for Young Adults changes lives by creating a community of support for young adults, and their loved ones, as they fight cancer and embrace survivorship.
The Retrievers are set to host their annual alumni game on Sunday, with the current members of the women's soccer team taking on the squad's former players. Game time is set for 11 a.m.

until now I was using dropbox as my main vcs (it is not, but for a single dev does the job pretty decent).
However I decided to give git a go and see if it fits my needs. Today I was reading this tutorial and at some point it says:
One of the things you should get used to is doing development in a separate area, not where you're serving your files from, for obvious reasons
I am doing development in django, and I can't find these "obvious reasons". Why can't I just use my project's folder to serve files to github?
I would be happy if someone clarified this for me now that I am new to git.

Tahir Qureshi – Pakistan
"In 1984, when I was a Divisional Forest Officer, I was kidnapped in the thick forest of Dadu, in southern Pakistan. The armed gang kept me in captivity for two nights but it seemed like a thousand years. My confidence was shattered and my career took a turn for what I thought at the time was the worst. After this, I decided to work on coastal conservation. This change, which involved restoring mangroves, was actually a blessing in disguise. It gave me a platform to chart completely unexplored territory in Pakistan."
Tahir Qureshi is Programme Director of IUCN Pakistan's Coastal Ecosystem Unit. He was the first forest officer to be kidnapped by a notorious gang of dacoits belonging to the renowned Baloch Chandio Tribe. The 60-strong gang, armed with the latest weapons, were operating in densely forested areas.
"I felt extremely threatened, but surprisingly, they released me without taking the ransom when they found out that I was a forest officer," says Tahir.
This dramatic incident changed the course of his life. Since then, he has been planting and rehabilitating mangrove forests and ensuring the sustainable use of resources in his country's coastal areas.
In Pakistan, Tahir is known as the 'Father of Mangroves'. He has single-handedly changed the face of coastal areas in a country where mangroves were considered wasteland until the 1970s.
The main reasons why mangroves were neglected were a lack of knowledge of their value and a lack of skills in how to manage them. When Tahir discovered the important economic role mangroves play as breeding ground for fisheries, it impressed planners, policy makers, irrigation engineers and local communities alike.
All realized the numerous benefits of increasing coastal and terrestrial biodiversity, including providing alternative sources of fuel wood and animal fodder. Mangrove plantations now serve as the first line of defence against natural disasters—protecting against flash floods, sea intrusion and have helped to stabilize sand dunes along the coast. Tahir has re-introduced two new mangrove species that had disappeared—Rhizophora mucronata and Aegiceras corniculatum.
Tahir has now convinced the government to embark on an ambitious project to prevent further sea water intrusion. Under this project, IUCN and the Government of Pakistan will plant mangroves over an area of 100,000 hectares.
Tahir has a long track record of working with local communities. He trains coastal people in how to plant mangroves and in the various techniques needed to manage these areas. In doing so, he instills a sense of conservation within the community. His methods have brought far-reaching benefits. Local communities now have an alternative source of income, not only by planting saplings but also reaping their benefits as breeding grounds for fisheries.
Tahir can be contacted at: firstname.lastname@example.com


text: TONIGHT I PRAY that you keep yourself open to the working of the Holy Spirit in your life. Sometimes God will allow you to go through situations to draw out impurities in your character. Embrace what He's doing so you can get to the next level in your spiritual journey. Sometimes when you are praying over and over and you don't believe that your prayer has been answered, I pray that you just stop and be still. Listen to the Holy Spirit within you. Sometimes God removes a person in your life for your protection. Think about that before you go running after them. He gives us what we need so that we can grow into the men and women that He has planned for us to be. I pray that you realize that His deepest desire for you is that you learn to depend on Him totally in every situation. It is when you do that He will work with you and through you. Use your freedom wisely, by relying on Him constantly. In Jesus name I pray, Amen and Amen…. I love you all!!! God bless you!!!

David Beckham played in the last game of his career today after announcing his retirement from soccer last week. He started and was given the captain's armband for his club, Paris Saint-Germain, in their last home match of the season against last-place Brest.
With PSG comfortably ahead, 3-1, the Englishman was subbed in the 82nd minute. Before he left the pitch, his team surrounded him and showered him with hugs and both teams applauded his exit as fans at the Parc des Princes rose in a standing ovation. He wept openly as he walked off.
When the final whistle blew, though, he returned, and tears turned to laughter as the Ligue 1 champions tossed him in the air one last time. It was a proper sendoff for Beckham. With a total of ten league titles with four different clubs over his 21-year professional career, he's one of the most successful and beloved soccer players of all time. He'll surely be missed.

Given that chile peppers—the main ingredient in hot sauce—are relatively easy to grow in Vermont, it's possible to make hot sauce a highly localvore product. But that doesn't mean it's easy. Ben Maniscalco, who launched Benito's Hot Sauce in 2009, goes out of his way to source ingredients from local farms.
Last Morsel—A Boost for On-Farm Slaughter
Caroline Abels | August 20, 2013 | Commentary
Traditionally, farm animals in Vermont were slaughtered and butchered outside, in the open air. Today, all animals that are sold as meat must be slaughtered and processed in inspected facilities. But some Vermonters who raise animals for their own personal consumption prefer on-farm slaughter to taking their critters to an unfamiliar slaughterhouse.

Whiz by it on Route 2 between Richmond and Bolton and you might think it was an abandoned rail car, a housing unit for migrant farm workers, or a storage shed. Bland and inconspicuous, the boxy structure doesn't look like it has the potential to re-shape Vermont's local food scene (or at least make it easier to purchase and cook pastured chicken).

We bushwhacked our way through a tangled patch of riverbank plants. The thick stems were still bent from the rushing flood waters, parallel with the ground as if bowing respectfully to the river. That river, the Dog River, was babbling as sweetly as any other Vermont tributary that early September day, but those of us on the volunteer clean-up crew at Dog River Farm in Berlin had a lot more respect for it—and for the power of water—than we'd had just a week before.

It can be comforting to walk into a Vermont farmers' market—winter or summer. Whether we're frequent patrons or visiting from out of state, dropping by a market on a Saturday morning or Thursday afternoon can feel cozy and reassuring: all those farmers practicing healthy agriculture and guaranteeing our collective food security.

Not everyone gets to eat popcorn popped in pork fat. But there it was in a big pot, greeting four sweaty interns after our morning removing a winter's worth of bedded pack from a hoop house and doing other tasks too numerous to mention. The popcorn was mighty tasty, and eager hands grabbed for it around the communal table.
A Smokin' Place
How Vermont Smoke & Cure grew from a small smokehouse to a smoking powerhouse
Caroline Abels | June 01, 2012 | Summer '12 | Issue twenty-one
The previous home of Vermont Smoke & Cure was at the end of the Exit 6 ramp off I-89, at the bottom of a long hill, at the first stoplight on the corner, inside the back of a gas station.
"Don't laugh," the company's website said. "Remember that other Vermont food company that started out in a gas station (hint: the ice cream guys)."
Humane Heft
Caroline Abels | September 01, 2011 | Food Systems & Policy
Chalk up another "first" for Vermont.
The state was the first to outlaw slavery, the first to legalize civil unions, and the first to pass a single-payer health care law, among other singular achievements. It may not be as significant, but the fact that Vermont recently became the first state to require local slaughterhouses to file a written humane handling plan falls in line with the state's tradition of leading the way on moral issues.

It's practically a requirement for any journalistic publication (such as this one) to keep tabs on what's new and exciting in the field it covers. Not only is it the publication's responsibility to keep readers up to date, it also makes for good copy. Journalists find it hard to write about "what hasn't changed since yesterday," even though the fact that something hasn't changed is often, in its own quiet way, newsworthy. Journalists and editors get a frisson of excitement when something new(s) crosses their path.
Counting Their Chickens
Misty Knoll Farms in Addison County has emerged as a poultry-producing powerhouse
Caroline Abels | December 01, 2010 | Issues Archive
Yes, there is a knoll—and it's misty.
At least it was on the day this past October when I visited Misty Knoll Farms, Vermont's largest chicken producer. Standing on the small rise at the eastern edge of the farm in New Haven, facing a swath of Addison County dairy land below and the spine of the Green Mountains beyond, I spotted a light fog in the valley that looked misty enough.

I've never fired a gun. The closest I ever came to one as a child was at my aunt's house. She's a cattle rancher in Arizona and often kept a pistol by her phone. I'd walk past it gingerly, as if getting too close meant it would suddenly go off like a stick of remote-controlled dynamite. Having grown up in a big city, I'd always associated guns with hot-headed maliciousness and revenge.
Halal in the Hills
Caroline Abels | June 01, 2010 | Community & History
Art Meade is a 59-year-old livestock and poultry farmer with a thick Maine accent and a farm on Route 100 in Morrisville. He also happens to run the only state-licensed slaughter facility in Vermont that caters to Muslims who practice halal slaughter. This is the Muslim tradition of swiftly slitting the throat of a domesticated meat animal with a sharp knife; the animal is believed to be killed instantly and painlessly (though there is some debate about that). Muslims, who are directed by their religion to eat halal meat, can purchase such meat in Vermont stores, but some prefer to do the slaughter themselves.
Dairy farmers raise veal—with a conscience

Vermont is facing many challenges when it comes to local meat production: Grazing land is expensive, there aren't enough facilities in which to process animals, and many residents refrain from buying local meat because they don't know how to cook the unusual cuts sold by small farms. What exactly do you do with a pork loin or lamb shoulder?
A Breed Apart
Caroline Abels | December 01, 2009 | Issues Archive
On a 40-acre hillside in Corinth, Ben Machin raises a flock of 60 Tunis sheep. They're a "heritage breed"—a domesticated breed of animal that has a long genetic history but is now endangered. As industrial agriculture continues to rely on just a few breeds designed for maximum growth in the shortest amount of time, more sustainable farmers are raising heritage breeds as an alternative—and to save them. Ben, a 35-year-old farmer who also works as a forester with Redstart Forestry and Consulting, is managing the flock that his great-grandfather started in the 1920s. Local Banquet editor Caroline Abels recently spoke with Ben about his unique sheep and why heritage breeds matter.

Anyone who has walked across the Vermont State House lawn in Montpelier knows it is different from any other lawn in the state. A wooden statue reputed to be Ceres, the Greek goddess of agriculture, stares down from the State House dome, appearing to sow seeds on the grass. A marble Ethan Allen standing at the State House door glares with fiery eyes at all who pass. A stately walkway guides visitors to an imposing granite building where important (and sometimes infuriating) decisions are made. No other place in Vermont feels so formal and heavy with history.
Rutland's Spud Man
Caroline Abels | September 01, 2008 | On the Farm
His story is an exception—not the story we usually associate with Vermont farmers around his age, farmers in their 60s and 70s. These farmers grew up during the Depression and World War II, often on their parents' land, then farmed themselves—dairying, mostly—for 40 or 50 years. And their stories, as everyone in Vermont knows, have often ended at the auction block or in a real estate agent's office—places where fields and cows must be sold because of brutal economic forces. Or their stories have ended when the farmers have become too tired, or too injured, to keep working.
An Interview with Tom Stearns
Caroline Abels | June 01, 2008 | Food Systems & Policy
High Mowing Organic Seeds is a thriving Vermont company that sells to gardeners and farmers around the country. In January, High Mowing became one of four plaintiffs in a lawsuit that asks the federal government to postpone the release of genetically modified (GMO) sugar beets until a more rigorous environmental analysis is done. (Sugar beets are used to make sugar; table beets are the ones we eat.) Tom Stearns, founder and president of High Mowing Seeds, talked with Local Banquet about his company's decision to join the lawsuit. – Caroline Abels

County Opportunity grants go to Oregon counties to purchase land for campgrounds, to improve orplan camping areas, and other, similar purposes. The grants, which comes from a portion of RVregistration fees, has been funding Oregon campground projects yearly since 1983.
A shelter at River Bend park in Linn County
Development – Developing new campgrounds, adding onto existing campgrounds or developing new support facilities such as restrooms, parking lots, landscaping, and sewer/water/electrical systems. Potential projects include building picnic facilities, playground areas, trails and other facilities that enhance an overnight camping experience. Rehabilitation – Rehabilitating grounds or structures to meet the access requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act. Potential projects include remodeling restrooms and shower facilities, campsites and replacing sewer/water/electrical systems in overnight campgrounds. Planning – Planning for future development of overnight camping facilities, including feasibility studies and park master plans. Facilities where recreation is a secondary function are ineligible. This includes projects related to courthouse grounds, fairgrounds, ports, and museum grounds.
Planning and Feasibility Studies – Preliminary studies undertaken to determine and document a project's viability such as a city developing a plan as to where future parks will be located. The results are used to make decisions whether to proceed with the project, its public need and benefit, how many, locations, activities and likely users, etc. It is an analysis of possible alternative solutions and a recommendation on the best alternative. The above definition's intent is to provide help for communities who do not have a park master plan in place or whose plan or studies are significantly outdated.
Grant applications are reviewed by grants staff and then forwarded to the seven-member County Parks Assistance Advisory Committee for evaluation.
Project sponsors are asked to make a presentation to the Advisory Committee, after which the Committee scores the projects and establishes a priority of funding list.
The priority list is then passed on to the OPRD Commission for final funding approval.

Every week -- often with your help -- FOOD52's Senior Editor Kristen Miglore is unearthing recipes that are nothing short of genius.
Today: You've got a bundle of celery in the back of your crisper drawer. (Go check. You do.) This is what you should do with it.
Celery would like you to think it's very strict and plain.
It's what dieters eat when they're trying to outrun their calories. It's the dependable seat-filler in your pot roast and chicken noodle soup -- the one you didn't even notice you were eating. Even when you fill its crannies with peanut butter and parade raisins down its back, celery somehow seems austere.
There's a bag sitting in a dark corner of your refrigerator right now, just waiting for its next assignment. But if that celery isn't more than the log to your ants, you are missing out, my friends. Because it can do so much more.
Marcella Hazan knows a good way to get celery to cut loose -- stick it in a bath with olive oil, tomato, pancetta, and onion, then stand back. When Food52er linzarella tipped me off to this method, she said, "It makes celery something to get really, really excited about -- no small feat!"
When you cook celery down with these four ingredients, you'll see it lose its rigid lines and sharp color. Sturdy chunks collapse and fade, drinking up the sweet, bacony tomato sauce.
Marcella says to cook until tender, which can be anywhere from 20 minutes to 3 hours, depending on what you're going for, and your definition of "tender".
More: Another vegetable you should be cooking forever? Broccoli.
Cook it down long enough, and you won't even need to peel it.
Marcella would have us peel the stringy outer stalks, but the version published in Saveur as part of an article by Lesley Porceli on the merits of long-cooked vegetables, doesn't. (On a long enough timeline, those strings are all that's keeping the stalks from falling apart.)
You can even make this when your celery is starting to wither a little, and bends a bit too much to be shaved into salads. (Which is good, because seriously that bag of celery has been there forever.)
What to eat with with your pile of soft, sweet celery? A juicy roast chicken, lamb, or a veal chop. Polenta or farro. A fried egg with very crisp edges. Bread. Nothing.
More: 20 more surprising celery recipes (20!).
Marcella Hazan's Braised Celery with Onion, Pancetta and Tomatoes
Adapted slightly from Essentials of Classic Italian Cooking (Alfred Knopf, 1992)
Serves 4 to 6
2 pounds celery1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil1 1/2 cups onions sliced very thin2/3 cup pancetta, cut into thin strips3/4 cup canned plum tomatoes, chopped coarse, with their juiceSaltFreshly ground black pepper

During this Valentine's week, these pet monikers that we have improvised are not directed at our significant others. They are meant for those we often end up spending more time with - our four-wheeled companions.
Our relationships with our cars are clearly some of the most intense co-dependent relationships that most of us have in our lives, so perhaps it is not so odd that many of us choose to put a name to that vast amount of metal and fiberglass that we depend on so much.
When Andrew Barrett of Etiwanda was in the Marine Corps many years ago, he ended up naming his Honda Accord the "Hotel Honda." Back then, he found that he and his service buddies were often unable to pony up the cash for hotel rooms when they were on leave, so they would spend the night drinking and sleeping in the tiny Honda.
Unfortunately, he found that he was forced to take on "maid service" duties on several occasions when a few of his guests faced the consequences of drinking a little too much.
In some families, the tendency to name the family vehicle is encouraged at an early age. Sheri Shepherd's very creative children of Rancho Cucamonga dubbed their gold motor home "Goldilocks," the red Ford F-350 "Ms. Candy Apple," and their blue Mitsubishi "Grover," since it was the same color as the Sesame Street character with that name.
Loren Pearl of San Bernardino says that when his children Jessica and Brandon were young, they dubbed their blue Chevy pickup the "Otter Pop," as it was exactly the same color as the blue version of that frozen confection.
Jasmine Virwash of Upland and Julie Patch of Alta Loma each found that they called their big, older cars the traditional big, older car name: "Betsy." And when I asked Myrtle James of Upland why she simply referred to her car as "She," she explained that it was because, "She's a GOOD girl." Asked then if she would ever call her car "He" she added emphatically, "Oh no!"
The name I now use to refer to my own vehicle is "Moose."
Not like the cute, lovable, Bullwinkle-type moose; more like the lumbering, gluttonous beast-type moose. In just a couple of short years, my stylish, cool-looking, once wildly longed-for new toy that I used to call "The Bullet" has become little more to me than a gas-inhaling, wallet-draining monster - now that the polish is off the apple and prices are up at the pump.
Come to think of it, in light of all the things I've actually called my vehicle every time I've pulled into a gas station recently, calling it "Moose" could almost be considered a compliment.

Website: 5,291 casino jobs available in U.S.
The U.S. casino industry has nearly 5,300 job openings, according to a new employment website launched by a laid-off casino worker.
In Colorado, several casinos have said they plan to hire dozens of workers to prepare for higher stakes, new games and longer operating hours that are coming July 2.
For a list of Colorado casinos and their contact information, click here. The site is run by Brian Decorah, who was recently laid off from an Arizona casino. Decorah says in a press release that his site provides links to 764 gaming operations in 34 states. It costs $19.95 a month if you want to search the site for a specific job posting.
Ameristar Casinos is the latest casino in Colorado to host a "hiring event." The company is looking to fill an undisclosed number of deli workers for its casino in Black Hawk and is running an event at the Jefferson County Workforce Center (3500 Illinois St., Golden, 80401) on Thursday from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. For more information, call 303-271-4560.
The casino industry's hiring is welcome news for a state that has seen its unemployment rate jump to 7.5 percent, the highest mark in more than 20 years.

Mary Deal Writes About "Scene Changes" On The Child Finder Trilogy
A scene ends when the action ends or the conversation can add no more to that part of the story. Maybe one scene is in the grocery store; the next scene is outside on the docks. Usually when a huge shift in location happens, you begin a new chapter.
(Don't try to write a sequel to "My Dinner with Andre" which happened totally in one scene at the dinner table. It's been done and was successful because the actors were good.)
When you end a scene, leave the reader wondering what could happen next and wanting to read further. It's called a cliff hanger. Leave something unfinished, like a threat of action yet to happen and we can see one character gearing up to do some dirty work. The reader wonders what could possible happen next? And so they keep turning pages. Read More

Free data-wipe tools for *nix systems
Making data hygiene easy
We offer several free tools to make data hygiene more convenient on Unix and Unix-like systems. Download them here. The archive you'll want is called LinuxWipeTools.tar.gz. (But note that there are numerous other free security tools and resources for *nix and Windows systems listed on the page.)
The purpose here is to simplify regular maintenance. These tools are not intended as substitutes for the "wipe" and "shred" utilities, which should always be used on sensitive individual files. What we have here are backup tools that will easily and securely wipe large areas of the disk that might contain data traces you've neglected, or failed to eliminate properly.
The scripts are meant to clean large disk areas safely and conveniently while you work with your system. They're intended for basic, regular maintenance: i.e., to eliminate duplicate data traces in obscure areas of the disk, and the remnants of files that have merely been deleted. There is nothing here that you couldn't do from the command line: the idea is to make it convenient so that you will do it. Often.
The WipeSwap script will automatically detect your swap device, stop it, wipe it securely, and re-create it. This usually takes only 20-30 minutes. The swap partition is a great accumulator of unforeseen and/or forgotten data, and should be wiped regularly. This makes it easy and safe.
The WipeFree scripts will securely wipe un-allocated disk space, where the remnants of deleted files may remain. Again, this merely simplifies the process.
Thanks to the courage of numerous volunteers, we can say that the scripts appear safe and effective on a variety of Unix, BSD and Linux systems.
Many thanks to Conrad Wood and David C. Niemi for improvements they contributed, and to Jim Knopf for an important fix and several excellent suggestions. ®
Thomas C Greene is the author of Computer Security for the Home and Small Office, a comprehensive guide to system hardening, malware protection, online anonymity, encryption, and data hygiene for Windows and Linux.

major macro economic indicators
|2018 (e)
|2019 (f)
|GDP growth (%)
|Inflation (yearly average, %)
|Budget balance (% GDP)
|Current account balance (% GDP)
|Public debt (% GDP)
(e): Estimate. (f): Forecast.
- Eurozone membership
- Production platform for European automotive and electronics industry
- Satisfactory public and external accounts
- Robust financial system dominated by foreign groups
- Small economy dependent on European investment and markets
- Strong sectorial concentration of exports: automotive and consumer electronics
- Regional development inequalities/the east lagging behind (infrastructure and training)
- Insufficient research and development
- Shortage of skilled labour and high long-term unemployment
Growth strengthens further
Growth is expected to peak in 2019. Household consumption remains the main driving force of the economy thanks to solid real wage increases and growing employment. In the first half of 2018, the unemployment rate dropped to 6.9% – a record low for Slovakia. Despite improvements in this regard, especially when compared with much higher unemployment in 2013, there are still strong regional differences between the East and the West of Slovakia: the latter (including the capital city of Bratislava) enjoys a strong concentration of foreign and domestic companies that makes unemployment much lower. Despite those regional differences, labour shortages have been sharply increasing in Slovakia, especially in manufacturing. A lack of adequate labour force has been pushing wages upwards over recent years, with real wages increasing by 3.8% in the first half of 2018 alone and the average monthly gross wage exceeding €1,000 for the first time ever. The minimum wage rose by €40 to €520 in January 2019, while state salaries went up by 10% in January 2019, and again in January 2020.
In addition to household consumption, GDP growth remains enhanced by fixed asset investments, which are estimated to have surged by double-digit dynamics in 2018. The construction of the Jaguar Land Rover plant strongly contributed to this increase. The factory starting operations in October 2018, and plans to increase the number of employees to 2,800 and the annual number of produced cars to 300,000. As a result, the plant has reaffirmed the automotive sector as the main manufacturing industry in Slovakia. Public sector investment projects have also accelerated – although the Bratislava ring road has been delayed, and it is probable that the deadline for its completion in 2020 will not be met.
Satisfactory public and external accounts
The government deficit dropped to 0.8% of GDP in 2017 and initial estimates indicate that it remained at this level throughout 2018. Although the fiscal consolidation is on track, increased government consumption and investments made ahead of the November 2018 municipal elections prevented the government from decreasing the deficit further. However, the deficit remains on a comfortable level, and is expected to contract further to 0.4% in 2019. The favourable macro–economic situation has led to increased revenues from personal and corporate income taxes; and improved tax collection has also been a positive factor for the budget situation. Public debt is expected to remain below 50% of GDP in the foreseeable future.
The current account balance is supported by growing exports. New investments are increasing export capacities (exports of goods and services already exceeded 98% of GDP at the end of first half of 2018), with the Jaguar Land Rover factory in particular accelerating export growth, despite concerns regarding the sustainability of global demand. The services balance is also positive, but deficits of primary and secondary income made the current account negative in the first half of 2018. Interest and dividend repatriation, a consequence of the strong presence of foreign investors (especially in the automotive sector), is likely to be only partially offset by remittances from Slovak emigrants.
Government remains stable
After the March 2016 elections, then-Prime Minister Robert Fico and his centre-left party, Smer-SD (European Socialist Party member), lost their absolute majority in parliament and had to form an alliance with the conservative National Party and the centre-right Most (Bridge) Party. Following the murder of an investigative journalist in February 2018, Mr Fico, as well as the Minister of the Interior and the President of Police, resigned to prevent early elections demanded by coalition partners. In March 2018 Smer-SD chose Peter Pellegrini, a Deputy Prime Minister, to replace Robert Fico. Support for Smer-SD has stabilised since the scandal surrounding the murder. At the time, opinion polls indicated that the party had lost around a fifth of its supporters, and that it retained the support of just over 20% of voters. Indeed, the November 2018 municipal elections were won by independents, with the Smer-SD party failing to gain any mayoral seats in any regional capital. More specifically, independent mayoral candidates gained the most support (42.4% of total votes), followed by Smer-SD candidates (20.4%) and the Slovak National Party(5.5%).

There are few subjects we haven't covered in the four years of this blog's existence but there are certain themes which keep recurring as we wind our way through life with this "load" of chronic pain on our backs. We aren't inanimate objects, groceries on a shelf going stale, produce in a bin rotting away with each hour; no, we're human beings with lives, families and homes. We have chores, jobs, and other responsibilities to fulfill each day. Many of us have stopped working for remuneration but we still have work to do. We live, surrounded by a world that sheds, grows, blows dust, sheds skin, gets hungry, and often needs fixing.
The constant issue which keeps arising in our lives is how much to do, how far to go and what is safe for us. How do you find your limits? How do you define what you can and cannot do? You can ask your doctor but he/she doesn't know, not really. They can, of course, give you an opinion regarding what they see on an X-ray, on a lab result or from an examination but the ultimate answer lies with you. What activities can you tolerate?
In my career as an RN I saw many individuals over the years, of all kinds and varieties of ailments, maladies, and situations. Each of us is so very different. The human structure may look the same, give or take a pound or two, the color of our skin or the age of our body, but there is something deep within each of us which defines who we are and what we are able to do in this life. I don't know what you call it. I suppose we could call it factor X, the human spirit or the soul. We say things like, "She sure has a good heart." We define this secret ingredient in so many ways I could fill the page but the bottom line is the internal, personal will of the individual and how they apply it to their life. Some call it gumption, strength of character or motivation. It's that factor X that keeps us going, day after day. Many of those patients I worked with taught me what I didn't want to be or to do. Negative learning is still learning. It's very possible to look at someone and say to yourself, "Oh, no, that's not for me."
This quality seems to have roots in our DNA, our childhood teachings and our basic philosophy of life. You must love life and value it if you are to successfully grapple with it. Before we get too metaphysical about it all, however, I would like to concentrate on the practical aspects of life with chronic pain and chronic disease. How do you find your limits? How far is too far before you damage yourself? How do you know these answers? Where do you, indeed, look for the solutions?
For most of us, we must learn to know what is going on inside of our physical selves in order to know what effect any action will have and what those results will be. Several years ago the medical philosophy was to rest a joint that ached. When I first began having pain I was told by a very reputable internist to have a rest. It was thought if you had pain, particularly joint pain, it was best to leave it alone and let it get better on its own. It didn't really work for me. Since most of my pain was in my sitter at that time, I kept wondering how I was to leave it alone. One sits all the time. Even lying down, you are lying on your sacroiliac joints which support and serve as a bridge between your hips and your back. It was believed inflamed joints would only become worse if they were used. How do you not use your sitter?
Medication was thought to be the ticket out of such misery until we began to see the ill effects of many of those medications like NSAID'S, and the "miracle drug," prednisone. Through the years many wonderful new drugs have been discovered, but they all have the capability to have horrendous side effects, even the new biologics. I've learned medications have their place but you must know their side effects so you can be forewarned. The most important lesson I've learned is that there are other solutions, besides medication.
It's taken me years to find my limits and I am constantly pushing them. What's wrong with that? You know I love lists, so let me share my philosophy of this whole limits issue with you via a list, okay?
- If I have one life to live, I don't want to do it from a bed. Chairs are okay, but for me, they are also not the answer for any length of time.
- I find I can do anything except heavy lifting, if I do it one inch, one step or one moment at a time. This includes digging a hole to plant a flower, cleaning a carpet or bathing a dog. Remember that lowly ant who can move a pile of sand from one place to another, one grain at a time.
- I stop what I'm doing when it becomes excessively painful. A little pain just means I'm using something that needed to be used. Excessive pain is my warning bell. It can take a few tries to feel it soon enough to stop. Some pain hits you later, after the act. It's not a sin to have a pain-filled night. I just hold onto the feeling of gratification from whatever I accomplished that also happened to bring on more pain than usual. I got something done. Good for me. Pain will go away to a certain degree, eventually. It's a matter of personal choice.
- I have to fuel myself, just like filling up the car with gas or oil. I can't run on fumes. The nature of that fuel should be pesticide free, as unprocessed as possible and as varied as nutritionists recommend. I read. I inquire. I search. I also cheat, often. I'm only human after all. Then it's back onto the nutrition wagon.
- I plan ahead. That way I don't take on too much. It doesn't always work but it gives me a goal to shoot for; otherwise I just sort of find the day flowing through my hands like sand through a sieve with nothing accomplished at nightfall.
- I go to sources that inspire me. For instance, I'm a very devout citizen but occasionally, I have to turn off the news. It's just too much of a downer 24 hours a day. I look for inspirational stories of real people. I read about them or watch movies about them. I'm very careful what I allow into my head. I won't go into detail because that's a very individual choice. I choose to keep my faith in a loving God.
- I recommend that you find something which inspires you, gives you pleasure, and makes you want to face a new day. Find a new hobby, like something you've always wanted to do. Visit people who give you good conversation, high thoughts and good company. Individuals who are downers have nothing to give you. They don't even have enough for themselves, unfortunately.
- Reach out, to others, to life even if it does take a bit of doing sometimes, you won't regret it. Reach out to living things. They inspire, they love you in return by licking your face or growing a flower for you to enjoy. If you stay in with the shades drawn, sitting there in that ratty old bathrobe life will pass you by. Life is much too precious a commodity to lose by default.

April 24, 2006
Who knew the drizzling rain would provide the perfect ambiance for the Lipscomb University track team to perform so well at the Vanderbilt Invitaitonal?
The Bisons track members competed against over 900 competitors from over 40 universities at the Vanderbilt University meet.
Zac Yanis ran one of Lipscomb's fastest 1500 meter times with a blazing 4:01.61 to place 17th in a field of 47 competitors.
Then freshmen, Jordan Wilson, ran a personal record of 15:22 in the 5-K to place fourth out of 69 competitors.
Under less than stellar jumping conditions, senior captain, Joe Lohr ended his college track and field career with a personal record of 20 feet, 6 inches.
"Every athlete dreams of going out on top," said Lohr. "Though I didn't win any championships or medals, I achieved a goal. For the past five meets my jumps improved from one week to the next with the guidance of two incredible coaches Jeff Smith, and Karen Robichaud.
" The third jump at Vanderbilt was the best of the season, and I knew it as soon as my foot left the board. It was a feeling, personally, that is incomparable to others for the sole reason that I achieved my goal of getting better every week. Now I will never jump again, and it is very surreal to me. However, I will carry with me the memories of my teammates, coaches and last night at Vanderbilt. I even took some of the sand from the pit home with me. What a night to say goodbye and hang my spikes up forever."
