First of all this is not a general rule of life. There is no rule that says that believing in lies is easier than believing in the truth ,however, in many cases people find it much easier to believe in a lie.
The first question you need to ask yourself here is why would someone ever believe a lie?
Don't we all want to know the truth?
Well that's not a correct question to ask. Most people don't want to know the truth as much as they want to feel good about themselves or as much as they want to forget about the things that make them feel bad.
Let's suppose that an average looking person was complimented about his looks. In such a case that person will want to believe in this statement simply because it would feel very unpleasant if the truth was otherwise.
This leads us to the first and the most important point that leads to believing in lies. We sometimes believe in things just because we need to believe in them and not because they are real things. If a certain belief is required in order for a person to feel good then this person might believe in it, even if it was wrong, just to feel better.
In my previous article Why do people stick to their incorrect opinions i explained how people develop certain beliefs in order to maintain their psychological stability.
In such a case any threat to that belief is considered a threat to the person's psychological stability. In such case the person doesn't just believe in a lie but he also defends it strongly because he won't be able to handle the psychological pressure that he will go through if he admitted that he was wrong. See Why do we always want to be right.
In the Ultimate guide to developing Super powers i said that in many cases facing the truth requires a tremendous amount of courage for it can be very harsh. Most humans have an intense desire to escape from their problems and to even construct a false reality just to avoid facing the truth. See Why most people live a twisted reality
In addition to all that we selectively choose the pieces of data we want to consider true and we ignore everything else. Our brains can easily allow us to discard a fact and to focus on another one just because the later matches what we want to believe in.
Because we want to believe in certain things our brains help us do so by distracting us from the the evidence that proves otherwise. This is why we selectively filter data just to keep the lies we believe in intact.
The easiest person to lie to is a young toddler. And why is that?
Because that young kid knows very little things about the world. The less a person knows the easier it is for someone to fool them.
This is another reason why so many people believe in lies. Many people don't take knowledge seriously and as a result end up being fooled by others.
Even the smartest human can be deceived and fooled once emotions get involved. In my previous article What causes mass delusions and mass hysteria i said that once emotions get involved a smart human can become just like a little child.
It's much easier for a person to believe a lie when he is controlled by emotions such as fear or anxiety. And because we are emotional beings we can easily believe in things just because our brains aren't working properly because of those emotions.

CSA Reform Status
Steve Bryan, Vigillo CEO/Founder gives comments to National Academies of Sciences in Washington DC last June
On December 4th, 2015, President Obama signed the FAST Act (Highway Bill) that secured funding for infrastructure, removed CSA Scores from public view, and defined a reform process for the CSA Program that would lead to the return of the Scores once proper reforms were made and Congress authorized their re-publication to the public.
Reform Summary
The FAST Act required the FMCSA to retain the services of the National Academies of Sciences – Engineering – Medicine. (NAS) An 18 month process was outlined where the NAS would address the flaws of CSA and issue recommendations as to how they might be addressed. I have previously summarized those flaws from the FAST Act as follows:
1. The accuracy with which the BASIC's identify high risk carriers and predict or are correlated with future crash risk, crash severity, or other safety indicators for motor carriers. (Safety Event Groups)
2. The accuracy of safety data, including the use of crash data from crashes in which a motor carrier was free from fault. (Crash Accountability)
3. Whether BASIC percentiles for carriers of passengers should be calculated separately from motor carriers of freight. (Freight vs Passenger systems)
4. The differences in the rates at which violations are reported to the FMCSA by various enforcement authorities, including States, territories, and Federal inspectors (State Difference)
5. How members of the public use the SMS and what effect making the SMS information public has had on reducing crashes
6. Whether the SMS provides comparable precision and confidence, through SMS alerts and percentiles, for the relative crash risk of individual large and small motor carriers; (Small Carriers largely unscored)
7. Whether alternatives to the SMS would identify high risk carriers more accurately
8. FMCSA has fully implemented or satisfactorily addressed the issues raised in the report titled ''Modifying the Compliance, Safety, Accountability Program Would Improve the Ability to Identify High Risk Carriers'' of the GAO dated February 2014.
Reform Status
Early in 2016, FMCSA did in fact retain NAS and a panel was convened to begin the study. The panel, all of whom come with a leading "Dr." in front of their names, and are attached to some of the leading Universities in the USA, are to say the least, a very impressive group. The individuals who comprise the panel are listed here.
There have now been three meetings of the panel, where at least some portion of the meeting was open to the public. I was asked to give the remarks of stakeholders on behalf of the ATA at the June meeting and was introduced by Chairman Thomas. I am pretty sure I am correct in stating that aside from the Panel and NAS Staff, and the representatives of FMCSA, I am the only person from the industry who attended every meeting. All three meetings were held in Washington DC, June 29, August 30, and Just a few days ago on December 15. Meetings agenda's are posted here.
Next Steps
The FAST Act calls for an 18 month timeline for the NAS to submit a report outlining the suggested reforms. There will be one more meeting of the NAS Panel (closed to the public) early in 2017, and then a report will be written, reviewed, and finally released for public comment by late May or early June, right on the 18 month schedule.
Opinion Alert
So, what is going to be the outcome? A major overhaul of CSA? Will Scores come back online? What is FMCSA's position on all of this? Does the NAS Panel understand the issues?
Here is my opinion, and it is only that, an opinion based on what I have observed in the meetings. I don't have any information about what the panel is discussing in closed meetings. Those are between FMCSA and the panel. So I don't have all of the information.
First, the Panel is made up of a very smart, very professional, and very successful individuals. They are the top of their fields including statistics, bio-statistics, education, engineering, transportation, and safety. They have very impressive resumes, and for their participation in this study, they are each paid a whopping fee of $0. So this begins to inform my opinion that this group is very independent, and not beholden to any party in this process. They do this kind of work to develop and enhance their professional reputations. So my first observation is that the report will be a very honest and professional analysis of CSA.
Second, the people who have been asked to contribute comments and presentations come from every corner of safety, transportation, data, government, and business. Comments have been submitted by suppliers like Vigillo, freight and passenger carriers, FAA, NTSB, GAO, ATRI, CVSA, TIA, FMCSA, Insurance and safety advocates have all had the opportunity to comment on the pros and cons of CSA, its data, and methodology. Every opinion has been heard and documented, and the report promises to address every one of those opinions. It will be very comprehensive.
In my opinion, the NAS Panel will suggest some very significant changes to the CSA program. It will not be a few tweaks. CSA requires a lot more data, from a lot more sources, on a lot more carriers.
And finally, in the spirit of the season, I also believe the Agency is listening. I am hopeful that this reform process will result in a better CSA program that does a much better job of identifying unsafe carriers and saves lives. If this process can get us there, we all win.
Merry Christmas everybody.

Before we had loaded the car in the direction to Geyikbayiri, Maria (AT) and Simon (AT) joined us. We met the two of them in the last days at the tree house camp and the two outstanding climbers spontaneously decided to join and leave with us the same evening. So we loaded the car with luggage of five, climbing equipment and Janosch bicycle. The moment we wanted to leave, the owner of the tree house camp brought us back into the big common barn and asked us again to eat with the group. Of course, we did not let ask us twice. We were lucky enough to get a bottle of beer at the end of the day, so we arrived at Geyikbayiri late in the evening.
A German climbing group had developed the area over the past several years and bolted over 850 routes. The camp JoSiTo, which they founded in the middle of the rock walls, is very popular. But as we wanted to support local family businesses, instead of money flowing back to Germany, we settled in the camp right next to it. Janosch opened his own tent; Maria and Simon rented one and David, and me, after a bit negotiation, took a small cozy wooden bungalow. Although the climbing season, due to the climate, goes far into the winter, there were few people. Good for us. We could get along with the few climbing tourists and at the rocks there was no crowds.
Every day, after the homemade breakfast, it was time to go to the rocks. No five minutes' walk to the gigantic rock bands. There was even a rock right at our camp. Here you could almost belay directly from the toilet. David, Janosch and I were always together. What was great for me. So I could spend the breaks between climbing and belaying with photography, cigarettes, nonsense and recovery. Felt as 95% of the routes are much too demanding for me. But thanks to the amount of routes there were of course some for me. And I'm totally thrilled about my climbing partners Dave and Janosch. It is time to express my greatest thanks to you. Patience, fun, motivation, tolerance and understanding. These are the features that I count you with regard to the climb quite high. You're great!
It has always been a pleasure for me to explore my mental limits. At the moment I am convinced that my body / my strength or the technique is no longer the problem. Before I get tired, my head stops me to get farer. Still, I fight every second in the wall with a trauma. Last year, during my second climbing test in the hall I slid down the wall for a trial. Because I was on a simple level of difficulty, the grips were a little larger and of course, I do not need to mention that it was no overhang, I was prompt Injured. My right ankle was considerably damaged, which gave me crutches for two months. However, as soon as I could walk again without problems, I bought my climbing shoes and went back in the wall again. It's just too much fun! Since that day, however, I have not fallen a single time. What is bad. I do not take any risk anymore ... do not go to the limit and apparently easy moves become a fight against myself. But I love the climbing, it is not a competition (at least for the most), it is at most a competition with yourself and so I try again and again and have small and bigger success experiences. Without the need to getting much better.
So I had already found a project for me on the first day. A wonderfully entangled route with a start in a light overhang. I did not want to leave the place before I made this route in the top rope. Normally I prefer lead climbing, but for me this variant is sufficiently demanding on this relatively hard route. And it should take three days and several attempts to get it done! Pictures, videos, and narratives cannot describe what efforts, inner conflicts, and sentimentaries I experienced. All this is part of the sport. This is the essence of what makes a climber addicted ... which makes me addicted. Other climbers might smile at me, but I'm very proud of myself and nobody can take it from me. And whoever wins a fight against himself is allowed to do so. We grow to ourselves every day. This shows the climbing for me very impressive, simple and beautiful.
The rest of the time in the camp we spent with cooking, eating and of course many interesting entertainments. The clientele on site is a very special one. All combine a common passion. That makes the atmosphere natural. Thus for example at breakfast, you can see the one or the other partner yoga unit, at dinner in the common room pull up session or professional talking over routes, grips and technique. Although I am a bloody beginner, I never felt unfamiliar. A milieu that I will definitely miss. And I'm very happy to have found two really good friends, especially with Dave and Janosch. Oh, a third person belongs to it. A few days after our arrival Deniz (TR) came to us. We met her in Olympos and spent a lot of time with Geyikbayiri with wine and beer. Deniz speaks exclusively Turkish. However, thanks to digital translators, creative expressions and gestures, as well as a common decision to become friends, the language barrier was not too big. Interpersonal communication is based only on a fraction of language, which I could learn very clearly.
But after a while, I was called back. I wanted to go to the capital Ankara to look after the future destinations of my trip. Almost every Turk whom I had asked for inspiration had advised against Ankara. But there are almost all embassies in the gray metropolis. So I discovered one last rock band with the others and then made me head north. At first I hitchhiked by car on the back of a pick-up to Antalya, where an eight-hour bus trip was waiting for me overnight. The time to the departure I used to shoot pass photos and cure my tired muscles. When the bus left at midnight, I took the entertainment system until I arrived at the gigantic bus station of Ankara. I just cannot sleep in buses
From the bus station it went to the Iranian embassy. Yes, as the next country I chose Iran. If everything works so far. It's complex and detailed. But will work somehow. To avoid expensive visa agencies I went first to the embassy and have act stupidly. Before another cigarette, I thought. Stupid idea to loom around the embassy ... with gigantic luggage. Of course, I was throughly interrogated and searched by the police armed with machine guns. Better is that. At least I could smoke. And to all the misfortune, the visit to the Embassy was also unsuccessful. I have to get an application number from an online agency... 20 days it takes approximately. Crap well, I'm not worried at first, maybe I can get the visa for India in the meantime ... I thought.
But first I went to my home the next day. Not far from the embassy, I slept at my new friends place, Nadire (TR), whom I met at Couchsurfing. Together with her I spent an ultracool time in Ankara. Although the city has so little to offer, ugly and dirty, with the right people at your side, the world is everywhere wonderful. The first days were Nadir's mother also with us. She visited her daughter and I was accepted as a new family member. So I have also literally tried Turkish home cooking. As a small thank you while they were cooking, I have musically entertained the women in the kitchen with guitarlele. Nadire lives vegan, which is very interesting and I learn a lot about the vegan cuisine. We respected our eating habits and they even served me pancakes (with egg!) for breakfast. I must admit that Nadire has fed me very well. I felt like a king. Thank you Nadire!
Nadire is 27 and archeologist in training. This alone gave us of course enough talking material for the coming days. In some ancient places of Anatolia, which I had already visited, she was active in excavations. The excursion to the Anatolian Museum was, of course, very well-suited. A huge museum with fascinating finds and stories from Asia Minor from the Stone Age to today. It is impressive how this region, as a link between Europe and Asia, is bursting with cultural treasures of different peoples and historical cultures. Above all, thanks to my professional accompaniment I have of course learned a lot again. In addition to the museum, the old castle, remains of the Roman Augustus temple and the Ottoman town center, the capital has not much to offer.
And this is also the reason Ataturk founded the capital of the Turkish republic here. On the one hand the relatively central situation in the state area, on the other the absence of bourgeoisie, money and religious power. For these things were all settled in the rich West, above all Istanbul. The capital of the peasant revolution should therefore also be placed in a peasant region. Actually, a good idea. But as in the post-war period in Germany, dry concrete buildings, dreary, practical architecture and gray, artificial city planning have been introduced. Today the gigantic purpose buildings of politics, institutions and the military are to be found in the city center. Currently, of course, paired with hundreds of heavily armed soldiers and policemen. On our way home, for example, we passed the main building of Erdogan's AK party and passed barriers, police buses and vehicles full of machine guns. You get used to it, but it is still crazy.
So it bcame normal to drink a coffee in Kizilay, the central place where the students are regularly brutally beaten by the executive. But for sure ... people live here day by day ... they must get a little bit of normality and return to quiet after "actions" relatively quickly. Nadire told me a lot about the dangers in interest groups or even random student gatherings. She is a student and has already been a victim of rigorous police interventions. I am reminded every day of the state of the country. Even if I publish funny travel pictures, everything has always a taste.
One attraction I definitely wanted to visit in Ankara: Anitkabir, the mausoleum of Ataturk. An absolutely gigantic building that reminds me of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington DC. Only that it is much bigger. Of course, Ataturk is THE, maybe only, hero of the nation. It is exploited and quoted both by proponents and opponents of the current policy. Every child knows his sayings, and on every corner his face is visible. So I wanted to see where the good man is buried. And yes, I saved him as a good man. Of course, he has aroused an armed conflict and under his leadership or under his command, thousands have died. However, his idea of the Turkish republic, his struggle for rights and, above all human rights, secularity, environmental awareness and cultivation, I find on the whole supportive.
Sad as he is today being misused by various interest groups. The visit to the mausoleum partly caused me a cold shudder. While you are trying to thank Ataturk, who is relatively neutral, and to convey information about him, it is terrifying and frightening as one person is so heroized. Maybe I am German, but I do not like it when a person is so glorified. No matter what that person did. That must necessarily lead to problems, I think. It leads to a monoperspectival view of things and helps easily to emotionalize people and thus also to radicalize if necessary. Not good! Apart from that, the Mausoleum is absolutely impressive and worth a visit!
So apart from the unfortunately everyday political problems and discussions, Nadire and I have really got off to a good start. I really enjoyed it to have a day just in front of a screen with series and snacks since a long time. This can be granted to you, even on journeys ... resp. right then! Among other things, we also spent one day with the shoemaker, as Nadire was a passionate tango dancer and let created a pair for her. And I took the opportunity to dress up for the winter. Yes, unfortunately the temperatures in the night fall below the freezing point. It is freaking cold to be honest.
But after a few peaceful days in Ankara, my working needs burned again. I wanted to do something. So I managed a volunteer in one of the most extraordinary landscapes in the world. I grabbed my whole life in my backpack again and drove with the bus to the east. Nadire gave me three gifts. A Nazar, a blue-eyed talisman, who is supposed to protect me from negative energy. A scarf that protects me from cold and a Tesbih (Misbaha), which protects me from boredom. Tesbih are originally Islamic prayer chains, but these are mainly used by men to nervous play in the hands.
I am curious about what to expect in Cappadocia. You also? The next report will tell you. Until then, Schilli
- My friend Berengere (F) taught me and a few Turkish girls 2-3 formations of partner acrobatics. Who would have thought that I would ever try?
- I save the paragraph to "Maximum Banana" ... is difficult to describe. Indescribable? A unique one!
- In our bungalow we had the honorable visit of a snake. Traveling has reached the next level!
- Nadire and her mum have partly prepared the meal for hours (for example wrapping wine leaves). Fascinating and delicious!

The first thing I want to mention, and which you will see me constantly reinforce is this: I had a clear cut plan of what I wanted to do for work before I left my job. Actually, before I actually left, I spent about 8 months building up my first internet business. My nights and weekends were completely consumed by my new business, Blind Surprise. I spent my 8 hours a day working at my job, hit the gym, and then spent 8PM – 1AM working on growing my business. Weekends were most of the same. So, I do not recommend just walking into your bosses office and calling it a day without a plan.
As I started growing my business, I also explored various other methods of earning income online. And what I realized was that there is a method that works fitting everybody's strengths. Some people may not be great internet marketers, but there still are opportunities. Here, I will outline the four main methods I have used to generate revenue online.
As I mentioned above, my first business I started online was Blind Surprise. I received a package one day that was addressed to somebody else. My roommates and I brought the package inside, and contacted the recipient on Facebook letting him know of the mistake. It took him a couple of days to come over and grab it, and during those two days, we must have discussed opening it 100 times. We were just so curious as to what was inside this box. So, I thought, how about starting a business that delivers surprise gifts to people. They sign up, tell me their interests, and I'll send them something awesome that fits their profile – or, send surprise gifts to somebody else!
So, Blind Surprise was born. I had a bit of experience with internet businesses, as I was involved in the launch of BroHats.com while I was in college (which we later sold), so it wasn't a completely new venture to me. Blind Surprise works with up and coming designers and artists, to get unique products to the market that you cannot find in stores. A unique surprise gifting experience – receive a mystery box at your door that could contain any beautiful product from a US artist. To ensure you will love your gift, you sign up and tell us your interests, and we send a perfect gift for your personality. PERFECT for gifting as well.
Blind Surprise has grown and developed, and even if I say so myself, our service is really unique and fun. We're very passionate about our brand, and in turn, and built a loyal fan base. We now have hundreds of subscribers who either send or receive a surprise gift at the start of each month. Growing this business has taken lots and lots of time, and there were numerous occasions when we were on the brink of dropping the whole thing and moving onto the next idea. But, due to our dedication to the brand, and real belief that it was a great idea, we stuck with it and have built Blind Surprise into a profitable online company.
In my opinion, e-commerce is the method that provides the most reliable source of income, but takes the most time to see returns. When building an e-commerce store, you are really building a brand, one that giants like Amazon and Ebay cannot completely stomp out. Your brand will have a fanbase, which is extremely valuable.
Fulfillment by Amazon
When deciding that I wanted to build my own business, I started following many influential people in the entrepreneurial/startup space, one being Pat Flynn. He posted a podcast about a couple that was earning their income completely by selling products on Amazon. So, I decided to take a stab at it.
The Fulfillment by Amazon program is expensive, but easy as hell. In a nutshell, you go out and buy products that have enough of a margin to be profitable when selling on Amazon. Then, you enter the products into Amazon, and ship them off to an Amazon Fulfillment Center somewhere in the US, and let Amazon do the selling, fulfillment, and distribution, and they deposit the earnings into your account. The downside is that Amazon takes 33% of your sales as their fee for storing and fulfilling all your orders.
The idea is to find products that are marked down HEAVILY (50%+) because even with the 33% charge from Amazon, the sales will still be profitable. I also particularly enjoyed shopping around for my inventory for FBA. The benefit of using this service as a means for internet income is that you do not need any web development or internet marketing skills. Imagine Amazon as the biggest Walmart in the world, and your products are on the shelves. All you have to do is find the products and send them over.
Affiliate Marketing
When you refer business to other businesses, they pay you a fee. This is affiliate marketing, simple as that. I currently make money through affiliate marketing 2 different ways:
1. This Blog – Through the course of my eCommerce venture, I have learned to love many products that helped me get off the ground running, and have helped me automate aspects of my business. When I discuss these products throughout the blog, I usually post a link to them. If you click that link and make a purchase from my referal, I get a fee. This is one of the most common ways to monetize blogs. I reason that many bloggers pick this method as opposed to posting banner ads all over their site is because (1) it allows you to give honest reviews of products based off personal experience, ensuring your followers will be satisfied, and (2) you avoid making your blog look like a big billboard. How much do you like looking at blogs that are covered in banner ads across the top, side, and bottom? No beuno.
2. Cool Things Addict – One of the big aspects to running Blind Surprise is sourcing our gifts. We work with 4-6 different product designers monthly, but through the course of our research, we come across tons of awesome products and some of them just don't fit the mold of what we are looking for as gifts. But, we hate wasting all this research time. So, we decided to build a website just feature cool things to buy online. Here's the way this site works – whenever you click on one of the links, and make a purchase, we receive a commission for the purchase. This is affiliate marketing in a nutshell.
Throughout this blog, I will go into detail about each of these methods of income, and feature other people who are experts in each field. None of these are 'get rich quick' ideas – they all take lots of time, energy, and skill in order to become profitable. But, my true feeling is that there is a method for everybody! Some people may be great at marketing (eCommerce), and others may be great at sourcing (FBA), while others just have a unique set of information that people love to follow (blogging). At the end of the day, there is hardly any technical skill required at all to be successful in one of these fields. Together, this blog will teach and discuss the methods to get rolling, and start pursuing your passion!

4 tips for choosing goals and sticking to them
The new year is a great time to set new green goals for your workplace.Read More…
Phone: 503-823-7037
Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
When Portland's Three Degrees restaurant moved their hiring process and employee resources online, they found that it made life easier for both staff and applicants. It also saved time, reduced printing costs and cut paper use by over 9,600 pages per year.
Three Degrees restaurant is part of the RiverPlace Hotel, located on Portland's west-side esplanade, overlooking the Willamette River. The restaurant and hotel are part of the Kimpton Hotels & Restaurants group.
The initiative came from our parent company, Kimpton Hotels & Restaurants. They wanted to move all of their properties – 65+ hotels and 75+ restaurants – to a paperless online employee system.
Kimpton already had sustainability initiatives in place for paper; they required all paper have 35% recycled content and that soy inks be used for printing. But they saw reducing paper as an opportunity to push their sustainability goals further.
The amount of paper printed, per year, before the switch to an online employee system.
Job applications Applicants now apply through online forms. If an applicant is hired, their information is automatically transferred to their New Hire forms, and a manager helps them get set up in the Kimpton online employee system. In the old paper system, they had to fill out two sets of paper work – once when applying and again when they were hired.
New hire paperwork Personal information like social security and checking account numbers are now entered by the employee into a secure online system, rather than in paper form. Our New Employee Handbook – which is 72 pages long – used to be printed for each employee. Every time the handbook was updated, we'd give printed copies to all staff. Now the handbook is online, and staff can log on to the website to read the handbook and sign-off electronically that they've seen the information.
We've reduced our paper by 130 pages per new hire. That's about 800 pages per month.
Paychecks Unless an employee requests a paper paycheck, they're set up for automatic deposit and digital paystubs. Employees can also download W4s and W2s from the online employee system.
Employee benefits Each employee has their own log in to the Kimpton online employee system, where they can request time off and review their benefits and performance reviews.
Staff scheduling Scheduling for restaurant staff is now available online, making it more convenient for staff to check their work schedules.
Menus for staff review Whenever the menu changes, staff are provided detailed information about new items. This information used to be printed, but now PDF versions are emailed to staff.
It took two years of planning and we made the switch in December (2014). It took time to learn the new system, but now everyone's used to it, and it's working really well.
We have a computer onsite for employees who don't have easy online access outside of work. Managers help employees get set up in the online system and continue to be a resource if they need help.
The online system is available in Spanish and French, so employees can access information in whichever language they're most comfortable with. We're hoping to make more languages available in the future.
It's great to have everything in one place. Employees can access information on their own, rather than having to go through different people to track it down.
The online system automated many of the administrative processes related to hiring and HR, saving time as well as paper and printing costs.
We use Vantage through ADP.
Employee login page and PDF of employee handbook, available through the online employee system.
Kimpton is looking into moving from a paper to a digital system for conveying restaurant orders to the kitchen staff.

We are two weeks into August, and students across the country are heading back to school. In the lazy days of summer, it is easy to forget the rush and added stress that this transitional time of year can bring. Here are some easy ways to reduce the stress and rush of back to school time.
Start preparing early
Many students are already in school by mid-August, so this may be advice to consider for next year. Start preparing for back to school time at least a month early.
School supplies: You can shop early for these and avoid the rush by seeing if your child's school has posted a list of needed supplies on their website. If not, purchase the things you know you'll need as you see them go on sale over the summer. A new lunchbox and backpack are probably necessities, as are pencils, pens, and loose leaf paper. Classrooms always need tissues and hand sanitizer, so look forward to helping the teachers out, too.
Clothing: As the kids continue to grow and sprout throughout the summer, think ahead to school clothes as you replenish their supply. Many dress codes specify knee-length shorts or skirts, so as your kids outgrow their summer clothes, replace them with dress code-ready substitutes. Summer clothes go on sale mid-July, and back to school time clothes generally feature sweaters and jeans. Although these may be okay for classrooms that are air conditioned to Arctic temperatures, using on-sale summer clothes to layer with a light sweater may be the best idea until chillier weather comes around. For areas that are warm year-round (like Nevada!), a summer tank top and light sweater or polo shirt will always be appropriate school gear.
Sleeping: Nothing is harder than trying to get kids to go to sleep at a proper bedtime when the sun is still blazing away outside their window. Start your kids with an increasingly early bedtime as summer comes to an end, and wake them up at school time daily (this will help with the early bedtime). You can also try dark curtains or eye shades for those children who need to sleep in total darkness.
Immunizations: August is National Immunization Awareness Month, and all states require some form of immunizations for students to enter in the fall. Check with your school system early to see what is required, then make an appointment if your child needs vaccinations. Doctors' offices get slammed with last-minute requests every year. If you can, schedule your appointments early in the summer to avoid the rush.
Develop (and stick to!) a routine
Part of the stress of back to school time is the fact that the household routine is completely disrupted by early bedtimes, early rising, lunches to be packed, homework to be done, and dinner to put on the table. The first few days of school can be hectic. It is likely that your child(ren) will be exhausted, excited, and possibly cranky at the end of their day until they get into the swing of things.
Make after school time as stress-free as possible by developing a routine that works for you. This can include things like:
- Snack time and some time outside (or free time inside, but avoid screens)
- Homework time (or reading) while dinner is being made
- After-dinner baths and family time
- Nighttime rituals that work for your kids (e.g., reading, talking, winding down)
If your kids are a little older, help them develop a good routine that incorporates talking about their day, homework, and free time. Limit screens during this transition, at least during the week. Part of this routine can be family movie and pizza night on Fridays, signaling the end of the week. Routines can go a long way to help kids (and parents!) ease into back to school time.
Develop your own routine
Parents experience stress just as much as kids do during this time, much of it centered around meal times in the morning and the evening. In the evening when everyone comes home tired, cranky, and possibly starving, help yourself out by using your crockpot or cooking once to eat all week.
Start the morning out right by preparing for it right after dinner. As you clean up dinner, pack lunches for the next day and get breakfast fixings ready. This is a good time to start some overnight oatmeal or defrost healthy muffins or mini-quiches to pop in the microwave for a quick hot breakfast. Instead of rushing around to get lunches ready and breakfast cooked in the morning, you can sit down with your kids as they start their day.
After school snacks can also be prepared in advance. Have your kids help to make it a family affair!
Even with advance planning and preparation, back to school time can be very stressful for some kids. With extreme testing requirements and increasing homework loads even for the very youngest children, kids are experiencing stress and its side effects now more than ever. Without an outlet, chronic stress can be damaging to both mental and physical health.
If you notice that your child is having trouble sleeping (or is extremely fatigued), is more emotional than usual, seems irritable, or is lashing out, they may be experiencing stress. Helping kids manage stress is one of the most valuable tools you can offer them as a parent. Simple things like allowing them free time to play, encouraging them to go outside, and limiting screen time can go a long way to alleviate stress during back to school time.
Are your kids back in school or headed back soon? How do you manage this back to school time transition?

You're an on-the-go person. You don't want to miss your calls. You don't want to pull over to the side of the curb of the highway to answer on you phone either. Obviously, having a bluetooth car stereo will also save you from the hassle of fumbling through your pockets or purse for a ringing phone. Nowadays, bluetooth compatibility is one of the most desired features and has become a top priority for shoppers when deciding on a new car headunit.It's a great feature to have on your receiver. Even better, it's downright practical.Life in your car will get a lot easier with your phone being paired wirelessly to your stereo.However,finding the best bluetooth car stereo can be tough, so we've put together this resource – a detailed,all-inclusive guide so you can make an informed decision on your purchase.
What Are the Benefits of Car Receivers With Bluetooth?
Bluetooth connectivity allows hands-free calling , making your drive time safer as you can take the call just with a touch of button on the receiver and talk while keeping your hands on the wheel and your eyes on the road.Bluetooth connectivity also allows streaming music wirelessly from almost any bluetooth supported device through the receiver.Some advanced receivers can even be configured to display the incoming call number.Incoming calls can also be set to either pick up automatically or at the touch of a button.
Besides other features such as CD playback,HD Radio™ tuner,AM/FM tuner,SiriusXM compatibility …etc,the addition of bluetooth feature rounds out an already wide array of car audio options.
The whole package :Kenwood eXcelon KDC-X998 CD Receiver
Excelon receivers are the new flagship in-car receivers by Kenwood.These receivers are top notch quality and look fantastic.It's noticeable that Kenwood put a lot of thought and commitment into creating these impressive headunits.However, the price tag is fairly steep.Floating around 120 – 200 ,and even more on high-end models.Yeah,that's pricy but these receivers carry a HUGE return on investment.
On its own, the Excelon KDC-X998 by kenwood boasts a wide array of options and features including a built-in HD Radio,a CD receiver with AM/FM tuner,Siri Eyes Free control capability,Pandora and iHeart Radio, not to mention Bluetooth which allows for an easy and fast pairing – secure pairing (SSP) technology, with the ability to prioritize a phone.The KDC-X998 comes with an external Bluetooth microphone that will allow you to be heard clear and loud on the other end when placed in an optimal location within your car.
With bluetooth connectivity you'll not only enjoy hands-free-calling and wireless music streaming,but you'll also be able to scroll through your phonebook right on a multiple line display and use the advanced Alphabet Search function to sped up the process. Additionally,if you've got a new smartphone (Android 4.0 or later),you'll be able to see some Metadata such as artist,track, album right on the display.
The sound machine : Pioneer DEH-X9600BHS
We've covered this receiver before in previous reviews, but it bears repeating – it's one of the best bluetooth car stereos out there. Its simple but futuristic design combined with a stellar array of features and entertainment options,makes this headunit worth every penny.
It has a wonderfully designed and beautifully finished display with the most intuitive menus and buttons,making it an easy to use receiver.(Additionally)Pairing your phone to this receiver is relatively a quick process,and we were very happy with the fast loading of contact list and the overall quick responsiveness of dialing functions.
What we like the most about this headunit's Bluetooth connectivity is the "Guest Mode" which allows adding and replacing a mobile device to the receiver in a split second.Guest mode is a great feature for those who have multiple devices or for a family vehicle with multiple drivers as it allows to pair your phone to the receiver easily without having to go through complicated settings,lengthy registration or deletion process.
Additionally,with Bluetooth wireless technology,you'll be able to use the voice recognition feature that is part of your smartphone's operating system.Newer smartphones such as iPhone 4S and iPhone 5 can take advantage of Siri® Eyes feature with a touch of a button.Siri® Eyes is Apple's latest in-car technology gives you access to several iPhone functions including making calls,listening to text messages,reminders and more.We believe that this new feature is taking the driving experience to a new level with improved comfort and convenience.However, admittedly, for the time being,it's still in its first stages.
The command center : Pioneer AVH-X5600BHS
If you have a vehicle that can accommodate a double din headunit and you have a budget that can stretch to around $360,then you should really go with this AVH-X5600BHS.Otherwise, if you're on low budget and still want a double din headunit however, Pioneer offers several less expensive models to cover all budgets.
The AVH-X5600BHS is a command center and its easily one of the best bluetooth car stereo out there. A one size, every feature under the sun. It includes everything you need to make your drive time more enjoyable,safer and efficient.Its adjustable 7″ inch display with larger icons will make your dashboard leap out,shiny and more visually appealing. The screen can be adjusted with a touch of a button ensuring a comfortable viewing angle in your vehicle.
What we love the most about this headunit is its dual zone entertainment feature which is simply a way to enjoy different AV source at the same time. To put it simply,this feature allows the front passengers to listen to the radio while the rear passenger can watch a DVD. It's a great feature to make your long trip go by a little more quickly.
The AVH-X5600BHS scores high when it comes to Bluetooth connectivity thanks to its wide touchscreen display that makes phone calls a straightforward process as if you're holding your cellphone. Moreover,you can scroll through your contacts list in the same way you do on your phone. And the incorporated ABC search feature and the wide touchscreen space make the process of searching contacts a great perk.

MISSING LINKS: Creating Value in Fashion
Creating Value in Fashion
International Conference in Berlin / University of Arts / 27 October 2017
Leibniz Institute for Research on Society and Space
Building links is at the heart of value creation in fashion. The clothes we wear link us to the identities we seek to assume. They invoke associations with distant places or glamorous life styles. Sometimes such linkages are more than superficial associations created in the service of revenue generation. A traditionally handmade garment of certified origin carries innate material qualities as well as an authentic link to its place of production. Buying a piece of clothing from a crowdfunded social venture establishes a bond of compassion and responsibility between customer and producers. At the same time, the absence of linkages can also contribute to the value of fashion products. Fast and cheap fashion can only function as long as the production conditions, palpable as they are to the workers, are absent from the consumption experience. And even ethically branded fashion products invoke only a small and selective number of meaningful linkages, while much of a garment's origin is left opaque.
Between haute couture and the mass market, fast fashion and slow fashion, trendy upcycling and the vast second hand market for 'waste' garments: Which links are we missing when we discuss the value of fashion? Is the dazzling multitude of value propositions – cheap, natural, fast, eco-fair, traditional, original, handcrafted, slow, upcycled, ethical, vegan, trendy, luxurious, sustainable – just a way of concealing the division of labour, entrenched in fashion value chains, between those who benefit and those who pay the price? Or is a renaissance of craft afoot – a reorientation of design principles in fashion towards durable materials and intrinsic quality? In short: Are there values in fashion value?
Organized jointly by the University of the Arts Berlin (UdK), the Leibniz Institute for Research on Society and Space (IRS), Manchester University and Stockholm University, this international conference brings together academics, designers, activists, policy makers, fashion industry representatives and journalists to engage with the question of value and values in fashion. Funded by the Leibniz Association, it concludes the research project 'Geographies of dissociation: The social construction of value from a spatial perspective' carried out at the IRS in Erkner, Germany. Key findings of the project, which uses the example of the global fur industry to study the economic geographies of value creation, will be presented. Two keynote lectures will address issues of value creation from the perspectives of fashion design and economic geography. Three panels will take on key themes addressed throughout the conference:
- The formulation of policies at the intersection of activism, fashion industry and government
- The role of the media, old and new, in ascribing and appreciating value in the fashion world
- The value of design and the responsibility of designers who, by making aesthetic choices, effect material consequences across distances in time and space

July 20, 2015 By Jack Jodell.
For a long time, I and many other gun violence opponents have decried the ease by which mentally unstable individuals can buy guns (especially the semi-automatic variety) and use them to kill innocent people. Second Amendment advocates, the National Rifle Association, and other paranoid allies all seem ro illogically claim that if everyone had a gun, then deaths by gun violence would be greatly reduced 9r prevented. This, of course, is utterly preposterous. By that VERY faulty logic, then, to prevent a nuclear holocaust, everybody should therefpre be permitted to own their own individual nuclear weapon. See how completely absurd that position is?
We are seemingly constantly being buffeted with news of mass murders involving guns. I suspect this is, regrettably, making us almost immune to the seriousness of this issue. For it is important that we never simply categorize this as being nothing more than "the new normal." For it is grossly abnormal to merely dismiss these victims in such a callous and uncaring manner – each and every one of them were once living, breathing, caring and cared-about human beings who were loved by their friends and family but have now left this life due to the actions of a madman. Through a recent Amy Goodman's Democracy Now! program I saw on FREE SPEECH TV, I learned of a "Mass Shootings Database" which had been compiled by Mother Jones Magazine. Click on the link below to see this incredible work which features a disgusting 71 mass shootings amd an astounding 561 deaths! This very thorough study also lists the number of yhose injured who survived, plus the date and location of the shooting as well as the name of the crazy gunman. It can be found at: http://www.motherjones.com/politics/2012/12/mass-shootings-mother-jones-full-data
This is a sickrning list. It is NOTHING to be proud of, and, indeed, should provide all sane, rational people the impetus to begin thinking seriously of ways to keep guns out of the hands of crazies! How much longer should we put up with the NRA's insane, paranoid arguments against any and all restrictions on guns?

Questioning the temperature
Phil Kingston, a retired Lecturer in Social Work at Bristol University, says, "…since having grand-children, I have been concerned about how the changing context of the Earth is likely to affect them. For about 5 years I have been learning about the relationship between economic growth and consumption on the one hand; and the overuse of Earth's resources and ecosystem destruction on the other. The more I learn, the more I am disturbed about the effects of the former upon God's creation, the poorest peoples of the world and future generations. My biggest concern these days is how the media, politicians and business generally not only do not engage with these relationships: they don't even refer to them. Indeed my experience is that they avoid referring to them."
Recently he found the media and governments lack of engagement with the information in the 2011 World Energy Outlook was an example of this, and here he shares why he is concerned with this recent report:
'Potential breaking of the 2 degrees C. internationally agreed limit to average world temperature'
The International Energy Agency (IEA) published its 2011 World Energy Outlook last November ( www.iea.org/weo/ ). This well-respected publication has particular credibility because the IEA was set up by the 28 richest Western countries which form the Organisation for Economic Development and Cooperation. It is, so to speak, from the horse's mouth.
The Executive Summary contains two statements which are likely to be of deep concern to most adults.
- The first refers to the current policies in place by world governments with regard to limiting average global temperatures to 2 degrees Centigrade – i.e. the average temperature increase which governments agreed at Kyoto to stay below. The report states that with these current policies 'we are … on …. track for a temperature increase of 6 degrees Centigrade or more.' And that with policies already agreed but still to be implemented by governments, 'the world is on a trajectory that results in a level of emissions consistent with a long-term average temperature increase of more than 3.5 degrees Centigrade.'
- The second is the reference that 'Four-fifths of the total energy-related CO2 emissions permissible by 2035' (i.e. the emissions which may keep the temperature increase to 2 degrees Centigrade), 'are already 'locked-in' by our existing capital stock (power plants, buildings, factories etc. '. (The term 'locked-in' means that the plant, once built, continues to emit CO2 throughout its lifetime). The report goes on to state that if stringent action is not taken before 2017, the new plant then in place will be such that its 'locked-in' CO2 emissions will have the world on a trajectory to surpass the 2 degrees C. increase.
If you would like to write to your local paper and to the relevant Government Ministries, below are draft letters you could use:
- WEO 2011 draft letter to local papers
- 1To the Secretary of State for Department for Energy and Climate Change
- 1To the Secretary of State for Business
- 1To Secretary of State for Defra

eI 29 PDF (1.6MB - 190pp)
|Vol 5, No. 6, whole number 29, December 2006
|Errata for eI29
A major mistake happened to two entries in the Who Killed Science Fiction? 1980 section of eI29. A large section of text of the Alexei Panshin entry was dropped, then reattached, in error, to the Robert Silverberg entry, and most of the Silverberg entry was deleted. Silverberg discovered this error and proceeded to unravel the mystery, for which I am very grateful.
In an effort to correct this mistake, the misplaced type has been repositioned and the missing text inserted in both the HTML and PDF versions. For anyone with a printed copy of the PDF, the corrected section (pages 169-190) may be downloaded here.
My most sincere apologies to both Alexei and Robert for this embarrassing mistake on my part. I promise to try to do better in the future.

A Mystery Threesome2 min read
Forest and Roy are just unlucky crooks. They would probably like to have been conmen, but they didn't have the education for it. Julie Smith takes the reader on a journey through three criminal attempts made by this bumbling duo as a much smarter female fools them every time while making them enjoy it. Roy is a bit resentful, but Forest is in love. With whom? We don't know as the femme fatale has been known as Heidi, Renne, the Devil's Spawn, and the Black Plague. Resentful Roy coined the last two names; Forest is so smitten he will accept any name provided by his heart's desire. Three attempts at crime, three short stories.
Redneck Riviera by Julie Smith
The three stories are:
Let's Go Knock Over Seaside
Heide admired Roy because Roy was hot. Roy was also arrogant and self-assured. She did not go after Roy, she targeted Forest (gullible) to help her in a scheme to get rich the old fashioned way; marry the money (or the guy who had it). The guy who had it was already married. How could she separate the husband from the wife, then the husband from the money, then the money from her new confederates in crime, Roy and Forest? It is no spoiler to say she succeeds; how she did it is what makes this short story, as well as the two that follow, fun to read.
The One That Got Away
Trash bags full of cash are the target. Money stored that way has to be illegal, so why not steal it? No one will report it stolen, but if the money disappeared and Heidi disappeared soon after, bad people might look for Heidi. But Heidi has friends, Forest and Roy, they might help her for a cut of the stolen cash. The only problem was she had cheated the pair before. And she did not like to share, had no intention of doing so now, so she had to find a way to cause them to trust her. So she could steal from them again.
Redneck Riviera (title of collection as well as this story)
This is the shortest story with the cleverest twist. Smith describes it as a short-short mystery. Coming in at only five e-book pages, watch out for the "coffee" mug.

How Can a 260-pound person who works out every day lose fat and gain muscle?
The way to lose fat is to consume less calories than you burn, and the way to gain muscle is to challenge them and feed them the nutrients they needs to recover. The more muscle you have the more calories you will burn and the easier it will be to lose weight 2. Working out every day will help boost your metabolism and burn more calories, but do not weight train the same muscles every day.
Create a Weight-Training Plan
Working the same muscle groups on back-to-back days will hinder the recovery of the muscles. You want to formulate a routine that alternates muscles depending on the day, or one that does not rely on back-to-back weight training. Try a three-day rotation for optimal recovery time. Work your chest, triceps and quadriceps one day; your biceps, upper back and hamstrings the next day; and your abdominal muscles, lower back and calves the third day. Start where you feel comfortable and improve upon your starting point, wherever that may be.
Keep the Cardio Difficult
Cardio is going to be the most effective way you burn the most calories, so you want your cardio to start hard and stay hard. You should be out of breath the majority of the time. If someone asked you a question during your cardio you should have to take another breath every few words during your response, but you should be able to respond. Keeping all this in mind, start at a comfortable level and increase your intensity as you become stronger.
Fuel Your Body Right
Limit your simple carbohydrate, sugar and fat intake to help lose weight. Fruits and veggies are always a good choice, and complex carbs will help give you the energy you need to sustain a seven-day workout. To build muscle you want a good amount of lean, healthy protein and amino acids 3. Do not consume excess protein because your body may convert it into fat. Eat before working out for energy, and directly after to replenish energy stores and rebuild muscle tissue.
Tips and Considerations
To lose one pound of fat you need to burn an excess of 3500 calories, or a minimum of 500 calories per day. Do not starve your body of calories, but replace unhealthy foods with healthy choices. A lot of variables must be factored in when determining how many calories you should consume, but eating protein directly after your workout will ensure your body uses fat as fuel instead of the lean muscle tissue you want to build. Stay hydrated throughout your day. Challenge your body constantly and mix up your routines to remain motivated and excited about your workouts. Warm up before working out and stretch afterward. Don't just use weight alone as the measurement of your progress. Use body fat percentage, if available, or key body measurements, such as waist size.
Working out every day will help boost your metabolism and burn more calories, but do not weight train the same muscles every day. Challenge your body constantly and mix up your routines to remain motivated and excited about your workouts. group with dumbbell weight training equipment on sport gym group with dumbbell weight training equipment on sport gym The way to lose fat is to consume less calories than you burn, and the way to gain muscle is to challenge them and feed them the nutrients they needs to recover.

Frances Bean Cobain, heiress to the grunge-rock royal throne, has released some of her artwork online. Daughter of Courtney Love and the late Kurt Cobain, Frances is a multimedia artist whose work ranges from dark to grotesque. The pieces, available for $200 to $350, feature disfigured monsters and abstract scenery.
Cobain first debuted her art back in 2010, with a G.G. Allin-inspired exhibition at Los Angeles' La Luz Gallery under the pseudonym, "Fiddle Tim." Since then, she's maintained a pretty low profile, save for a photoshoot she did with YSL's former Creative Director, Hedi Slimane, as well as a few public spats with Lana Del Ray and Kendall Jenner. For awhile, there were rumors circulating that Ms. Cobain was starting her own band with soon-to-be ex-husband, Isaiah Silva, but as of now, the Nirvana progeny is sticking to visual art.
You can buy all her work, here.

A Year of Living New Clothes-less-ly
Instead of buying anything new, illustrator Sarah Lazarovic painted a picture of each item of clothing she's wanted in the past year, and turned it into a 40-slide visual essay. It's lovely but also kind of makes you want to buy all that stuff. Sarah!

International Bureau of Double Standards—The CNN/Iran File
May 30, 2012 by alawson911
This video looks at a CNN documentary (April, 2012 with repeats) about the Iran nuclear issue, and examines the role of the mainstream media in keeping the public uninformed about the real problem-nation in the Middle East: Nuclear-armed, Apartheid Israel.
The original CNN programme "A Nuclear Iran: The Expert Intel" was downloaded from the location given, below, but I cannot guarantee how long it will remain available:

Great summation by Lawson. His conclusion supports the other theory that it was the Arab Oil Boycott that ushered in neolioberalism. Most "Left-wing" commentators omits this event when explaining the beginning of the neoliberal rollbacks that started in the 1970's. They'll explain as the "falling rate of profit" but what caused the falling profits was the hyperinflation caused by raising petrol prices from the oil boycotts due to the U.S. support for Israeli Zionism. The neoliberal policies altered the economy from industrial to financial thus empowering the Zionist even more at the expense of both workers and industrial capitalism.
Zionism is a supremacist ideology and their goal is global domination of life, liberty and property. The world needs to wake up and realize who their enemy really is.

Imaginary Syllabus for a Food and Culture class
This started with reading Cuisine and Culture by Linda Civitello. I got it from the eNYPL and was reading it on Kindle and finding it fascinating. (Also, I'm now on a quest to find a paper copy. I'm increasingly convinced I shouldn't read nonfiction on Kindle.)
It's all about how food's place in culture evolved, from guesses based on prehistoric archaeology to studies of ancient Mesopotamian cuneiform recipes to Greece and Rome, and through history. It's historically meticulous, and really interesting social history. Which I love. So I started imagining how you could use it in an anthro class about food and culture.
I wish I were still in college. So I could take this course. Though, in fairness, I didn't get excited about food writing til a few years ago. It may be that this class exists somewhere. I'm afraid to look, because I know, if it exists, I'd drop everything (including a large chunk of change) to take it. So here is what I imagine would be a good reading list.
Reading List for Food and Culture Anthropology Class
Cuisine and Culture- Linda Civitello. For reasons listed above.
The United States of Arugula– David Kamp. A fascinating history of the evolution of American cuisine, leading to the current notion of the foodie. Possibly also excerpts from Bobos in Paradise, because I think it is an excellently readable social history of how appetites become trendy.
97 Orchard, by Jane Ziegelman. Excellently written social history of a tenement building on the Lower East Side of New York, focusing on the different immigrant families who lived there, and culture shifts in New York neighborhoods. It's a combination of well-researched narrative, food history, even some vintage recipes. Tremendously fun book!
An entire week's discussion about Julia Child, including cookbook excerpts, and selections from My Life In France.
Alone in the Kitchen with an Eggplant, to play with ideas about eating alone vs eating socially.
Lunch Wars, which I have read, or Omnivore's Dilemma by Michael Pollan, which I haven't, to introduce ideas of food politics.
Assignments would include: Read an ethnography of a non-US culture and a cookbook of recipes from that culture, and write a paper exploring the construction of cultural identity, and how it plays out in food.
Possible class trip to sample an ethnic market.
Or a cooking class?
What other books? This has the added bonus of generating a book list I would read delightedly.

Once you read "97 Orchard" you might want to add it to this list.

Chronic Delivery of BackBeat CNT Significantly Reduced 24-hour Systolic and Diastolic Blood Pressures in a Canine Model
The goal of the preclinical studies was to demonstrate the feasibility of the use of BackBeat Cardiac Neuromodulation Therapy (CNT) in a canine model with surgically induced hypertension and provide a rationale for use to chronically lower blood pressure in patients with hypertension.
BackBeat CNT was delivered safely and effectively via pacing algorithms in a prototype device in the canine model. Chronic delivery of BackBeat CNT significantly reduced 24-hour real-time systolic and diastolic blood pressure by 32.5 mmHg and 10.8 mmHg compared to a control that had no change. The reduction occurred immediately upon activation of therapy and was maintained for the period that the therapy was active. Upon the discontinuation of therapy, blood pressure did not immediately return to baseline level but rather gradually increased, suggesting that the therapy may have an impact on the setpoint of the blood pressure control mechanism.

Which former Broncos QB –Tim Tebow, Kyle Orton or Brady Quinn — will start first?
The NFL is a funny place, isn't it?
The three quarterbacks on the Broncos roster in 2011 are now all backups elsewhere: Kyle Orton in Dallas; Tim Tebow with the New York Jets; and Brady Quinn in Kansas City.
All three are suddenly (or, in the case of Tebow, not-so-suddenly) the most popular man in their respective towns, as Tony Romo, Mark Sanchez and Matt Cassel have all struggled of late.
Romo, the Cowboys' starter, threw five interceptions in Dallas' "Monday Night Football" loss to the Chicago Bears … who were led by another former Broncos quarterback, Jay Cutler. Orton came in for the final series and led the Cowboys to a garbage-time touchdown.
In New York, meanwhile, the cries for Tebow are growing louder by the hour, especially after the Jets' offense failed to score any points last week against San Francisco.
And finally, in Kansas City, coach Romeo Crennel has said Quinn will be allowed to take some first-team snaps at practice, opening the door for playing time in a game.
So, back to my question: Which of those three former Broncos ends up the starter on his new team first: Orton, Tebow or Quinn?

Medical Forms and Insurance:
BSA and Troop policy requires that each Scout have a current BSA medical
form on file with the Troop for all activities. Cub Scouts crossing over from a
Pack must provide their Cub Scout health form with their application and a new
BSA medical form before summer camp. Adults participating in a weekend outing
or going to Many Point must also have the BSA medical form on file with the
Troop. These forms are available online at www.northernstarbsa.org under
"Resources" and "Forms."
This policy allows the Troop to have complete medical, immunization,
insurance, and other information to assist first-responders and camp medics and
to obtain prompt medical attention in the unlikely event of an accident. Troop 1 is
insured through the Northern Star Council's group insurance policy.
Campout Guidelines:
The Troop's goal is that campouts are educational, fun, and safe. Common
sense and good conduct by all participants is required at all times.
For weekend campouts starting on Friday evenings, we'll typically meet at
Minnehaha at 5:00 to 5:30 p.m. to load supplies that were organized at the
previous troop meeting. It's important to arrive on time to ensure that there's
plenty of help loading supplies and that we're able to leave on time, get to camp,
and get set up, if possible before dark.
Unless it's specifically announced, Friday night doesn't include dinner on
the road or at camp. Typically, there's a cracker barrel upon arrival at Camp. But
this isn't meant to be a substitute for dinner. Please see that your Scout is well
fed before arrival at Minnehaha or that he has a bag dinner to eat on the way up
unless dinner "on the road" is planned and announced.
Campouts usually last from Friday evening to Sunday morning. Scouts
usually return to Minnehaha mid-morning but usually no later than 12:00 Noon.
You'll get a more specific time when you drop your Scout off and a call on
Sunday morning if there are any changes. Please have someone there at the
given time to pick your son up.
Only those items necessary for camping and Troop activities are allowed
on trips. Excess baggage, oversized mattresses, personal coolers and food, etc.,
should be left at home. Sharing meals and cooking duties is an essential part of
the Patrol Method. If your Scout has any food allergies, medical conditions,
medical or religious dietary restrictions, or takes any prescription or non-
prescription medications, parents or adults should discuss this with the
Scoutmaster well in advance of the campout. Use of prescription and non-
prescription drugs is subject to the Troop's Medication Policy.
Quiet time and lights out will be announced and observed by all
participants. Campouts are typically very busy and tiring so everyone needs to
get rest. By the same token, Scouts are expected to be awake and moving in the
morning to get their duties done.
The following rules are critical for safety:
Shoes or boots with wool socks in long grass and water shoes or old
tennies in waterfront areas are recommended. Bare feet should be limited
to inspected swimming areas.
No beverages (other than water), candy, food, or gum, and any beverage,
candy, food, or gum containers or wrappings in personal gear or tents.
Many campouts occur in areas where these items will attract animals that
can damage tents and injure people.
Please leave cell telephones, music players, video games, and all other
electronic devices at home. Troop leadership will be responsible for a
weather radio and will have cell telephones for emergency use.
Climbing is conducted under BSA Climb On Safely guidelines with trained
adult leaders. This includes fences and trees as well as bouldering walls
and climbing towers.
No fireworks.
No flames (candles, lighters, lit matches, etc.) in tents.
Respect flora and fauna, other people, and their property.
Pocket knives only with a Totin' Chip. No hunting, sheath, or folding lock
blade knives with blades longer than four inches. The only exception is
kitchen knives from a patrol box kept in the patrol box or in the cooking
area and used for cooking only.
Dispose of recycling and trash properly. Campsites will be left as clean as
or cleaner than they were found. We'll patrol our campsite before we leave
to make sure that we do this.
Boating, canoeing, kayaking, swimming, and any other type of water
activities are conducted under BSA Safe Swim Defense and Safety Afloat
guidelines with trained adult leaders.
No possession or use of alcohol, illegal drugs, personal firearms, or
tobacco. Use of prescription and non-prescription drugs is under the
Troop's Medication Policy.
Walk with care in camp. Branches, roots, shrubs, tent ropes and tent
stakes can be hazardous.
Possession or use of cutting tools (axe, knife, etc.) requires successful
completion of Totin' Chip training. Scouts may have to re-earn the Totin'
Chip if the privilege to use knives and other cutting tools is abused. In any
case, axes and saws will only be used in a defined area and under adult
Possession or use of lighters, matches, or other fire building materials
requires successful completion of Firem'n Chit training. Scouts may have
to re-earn the Firem'n Chit if the privilege to use lighters, matches, and
other fire building materials and to build fires is abused. Fires should only
be built in an appropriate area in conformance with Firem'n Chit guidelines
and under adult supervision.
Scouts, leaders, and adults should ask permission to enter or walk through
another group's campsite.
When traveling in cars or personal vehicles, each person must be secured
with a seatbelt. It follows that no Scout will ride on the outside of any motor
vehicle. These restrictions include hanging or riding on bumpers, in the
beds of pickup trucks, or in a trailer.
Parents and adults are reminded that if these rules are violated, violated after a
warning, or if other serious behavioral problem occurs, they will be responsible
for bringing their son home from camp at their expense.
