Whole 30 week 1
Category : Uncategorized
It's official, summer is over! School has started or will start this week for those of us parents and for those fellow athletes who are teachers! It's bitter sweet. I love summer. I love the freedom for my kids and I love seeing our athletes who teach get to come in and workout more often AND at a variety of times! But, honestly, I'm ready for a routine again. It's definitely selfish as I love my own time during the day when I can teach, coach, workout, get to do BJJ and not worry about where my kids are or where they need to be. I also love fall. I love the cool weather, rain, the color outside and getting to sleep with a comforter!
Now that we are all back, welcome! I've missed some of you! For those of you who haven't been able to get in as much as you had hoped, please oh please don't pick up from where you left off. You will be oh so SORE! I, myself, had dialed back on my workouts over the past 3 weeks as I tended to a bad knee. Friday I decided that I wanted to do Barbara and I've been recovering for days now! Yikes that was hard! I should have listened to my own recommendation but decided it would be "fun" and "worth it". When you haven't pushed yourself in a while you miss it, I know! But seriously, take the time to get back to where you left off. Dial back on the weight a bit, modify a wod if you need. In a few weeks you'll start getting that endurance and strength back. No use in injuring yourself and not being able to come in!
Now onto week one of Whole 30!! Like I mentioned last week, some of us started on the 1st (Team Carissa) and some starting on the 6th (Team Chris). For those of you who have begun, welcome to day 4! There are normal things to feel the first few days: slight headaches, digestive issues, exhaustion, blemishes, foggy brain and crankiness. Don't worry, it won't last the whole month! It's only 30 days, we've got this!
For those of you starting in 2 days, this is a great time to clean out your fridge and pantry! Have a final last hurrah with alcohol/nachos/pizza/donuts/etc and plan those meals, go shopping with your list and stock your house with all kinds of delicious food that you CAN eat! I find that the hardest is to not be prepared for a meal and find myself standing in the fridge just staring at the food in there without a clue as to what to eat. As long as you are organized you'll be able to do this. Use your resources, check those labels and talk with your fellow athletes! Here's a quick and handy shopping list and my own pinterest whole 30 page.
Lastly, why do we do this month of clean eating? Think of it as a reset for your body. Maybe you've found yourself overindulging this summer a bit on the vino/margaritas/beer or the ice cream/treats/sugar train. This is a great time to do something good for your body for a month before the holidays kick in. Maybe you've always had a hunch that you are sensitive to certain food. This month will eliminate almost all foods that are commonly known to be sensitive for people. Once we are done with the 30 days we will have to be careful how we reintroduce foods that we have not had for the month back into our diet. We will go over that more later!
See you this week! Hope you all had a fantastic long weekend and did something fun on your day off of Crossfit!
Keep moving!

The Pre–K Debates: Current Controversies and Issues
More young children across the country are gaining access to pre-K programs. This volume spotlights today's most urgent pre-K debates, explores each one from all sides, and paves the way for sound, educated decision-making.
Edited by a founder of Head Start and two other highly respected experts, this forward-thinking book gathers a who's who of more than 40 leading thinkers in early childhood education for a rigorous examination of the most-debated pre-K issues.
In a clear and compelling point–counterpoint format, this book gives decision-makers multifaceted perspectives on critical questions such as:
- Should pre-K be targeted or universal?
- What kind of teacher preparation should be required?
- When and for how long should pre-K services be provided?
- Where should pre-K be provided?
- What should the primary focus of instruction be — academics or the whole child?
- Should pre-K be structured around direct instruction or learning through play?
- How can we ensure quality and accountability in pre-K programs?
The book also contains a synthesis of the major themes of the pre-K debate, lessons learned from two model programs, and key issues for future research and debate, including education policies for English language learners and children with special needs.
Whether used as a reference or a preservice text, this landmark book will prepare early childhood administrators, policymakers, and researchers to make informed decisions about the future of preK—so all young children will have the best chance at school success.
J. Ronald Lally, Co-Director of the Center for Child & Family Studies at WestEd, contributed a key chapter on the link between consistent caring interactions with babies, early brain development, and school readiness.

Managing Customer Reviews for Greater Retention and ROI [Podcast]
Brian Merritt
VP, Customer Success, Trustpilot
This week's episode – 028: Brian Merritt
January 30, 2019
How purposefully are you pursuing customer feedback, or incorporating it as the bedrock of your retention strategy? How much are you truly focusing on retention, itself?
Brian Merritt, VP of Customer Success at Trustpilot, joins the show to share how and why customer reviews and feedback are so vital to creating more revenue, long-term loyalty, and customer retention.
"You don't control the message – at the end of the day, customers are telling you what the deal is" says Brian Merritt of @Trustpilot CLICK TO TWEET
As Brian explains, your consumers are telling you what your brand promise is – they're dictating what your brand means… not you or your creative agencies! Hearing the words and tone that consumers are using to describe your brand is powerful because it helps you understand their sentiments – and when you respond in kind (adapting your messaging and communication to them), your customers will, quite simply, like you more.
Brian offers a unique perspective on which of the main retention « health checks » is most overlooked by businesses, the real origins of Instagram (it didn't start as a photo sharing app), and how to reach your Millennial audience.
Show details and highlights
► (1:53) What is Trustpilot?
► (3:33) How reviews tie to retention
► (8:57) How are consumers talking about your brand? Perception is reality!
► (9:49) 5 health checks to gauge your retention efforts/success
► (13:41) Are 5-star reviews legit?
► (15:16) Consumers trust each other first – not brands
► (21:14) Brian on the future: voice search/marketing
► (26:00) Rapid Fire!
« Consumers are trusting each other more and more. They're not trusting the brand [initially] – that doesn't mean they have a distrust of the brand, it's just not where they're going first. They're looking online, and the one thing you can't hide is transparency. You're either transparent or you're not. Their voice is going to be heard – they're going to find an outlet to let you know what they think of your brand. The question is, 'how do you want to manage that?' Do you want to get in front of it, or not? »
Brian Merritt • VP, Customer Success, Trustpilot
#Customers trust each other more than brands… their voice will be heard – the question is 'do you want to get ahead of it or not?' » says Brian Merritt of @Trustpilot CLICK TO TWEET
3 Key Takeaways
- Reviews influence the vast majority of consumers' (89%, in fact) purchasing decisions. That means it's never been more important to manage your online reputation. Listening and engaging with what your customers are saying online can help you build trust and credibility, and improve your bottom line.
- Health checks for retention: product consumption (how often are customers returning to buy again, how is the AOV changing, what's the frequency of their re-purchases?), service utilization (are customers using what they bought?), feedback (are customers talking about you, why don't they want to leave a review?), support escalations (what issues are being escalated and how are customers communicating inbound support issues?), and business outcomes.
- Consumers are trusting each other more and more – they simply don't go to the brand, first. You're either transparent or you're not – but consumers' voices will be heard. The question is how you want to manage it. Develop a consumer review collection strategy where you can get ahold of your feedback… good or bad.

I have super huge news! My sister, uncle and I had been discussing this for quite some time. And some time being around a year or so. We started last year talking about signing up for the Original Marathon. The one that started it all! Athens, Greece!!!!!!
Serious discussions started when we were at my Grandmother's funeral in August. I kept thinking that this would be a once in a lifetime opportunity and how exciting that it would be. I've never run any races with my uncle. My sister and I have done a handful of half marathons, a decent amount of 5ks together and a handful of other races. But this will be the first time we are all running a marathon together. My uncle and my sister are going to blow me out of the water. They are amazing runners and I can't wait to experience this with them. It's going to be one pretty awesome experience.
If you don't know the history behind the marathon here is a mini recap for you. The original marathon started after the Battle of Marathon when Pheidippides ran from Marathon, Greece to Athens, Greece to relay the victory to the citizens. Unfortunately he was only able to exclaim, "We were victorious!" before he collapsed and died. Now, I don't want that to happen to us that are running that marathon. And it's hard to believe that us runners still compete in the marathon event after such a horrible start.
Last night we booked our trip and I'm so glad that my Mom is going with us to experience this with us. She won't be running but she'll be there with open arms and our official photographer (She doesn't know that yet). To say that I'm geeking out about where the finish line is would be an understatement. I'm super excited to be finishing (fingers crossed) in the 1896 Olympic Stadium. Any athlete's dream, well at least mine!

Peanut had her first swimming lessons today. Fun! We just joined a new gym and I took a water aerobics class for the first time, which was also fun.
We played with Play-Doh later and she asked me to make "breakfast." So we made a plate, toast, grapes, a cup of milk, a cup of apple juice... it got dicey when she told me she wanted a spoon (not too hard) and a fork (er...). Good times.
I'm knitting, especially close to finishing a Scoop Neck Vest, the Tangled Yoke Cardi is sitting very patiently while I work on other things. Lots of ideas, no time or inclination to actualize said ideas, though.
Summer rocks. Picked up new Salman Rushdie novel a couple of weeks ago. Plan to read more this summer!

Gaining the Victory
We live in a society of addictions, of bondage to so many things. Maybe you are in bondage to cigarettes, or alcohol, or pornography, or anger, or any number of other things.
Whatever the condition that has you in bondage today, God's hand and God's arm can lift you up and untangle you and set you free. In Psalm 98:1 we are told,
His right hand and His holy arm have gained Him the victory.
We find repeatedly throughout the Old Testament how, through God's mighty hand and His outstretched arm, He redeemed His people out of slavery and out of bondage.
Now here is the question. Does it just sort of randomly happen? Do we have to wait and see if we are one of the lucky ones God will choose to extend His mighty arm to help? Or, is there anything that we can do to cooperate with God to see His arm extended in our behalf?
The answer is yes, we can, and we must cooperate with God.
In Isaiah 51:5 God tells us,
"My righteousness is near, My salvation has gone forth, and My arms will judge the peoples; the coastlands will wait upon Me, and on My arm they will trust."
The way we cooperate with God is to trust in His arm; not in our own arm, but in His. If you want to see God's mighty arm move on your behalf, then trust Him alone! Do not trust your intelligence, your ingenuity, your education, your status in life, your wealth, or any other thing.

The lack of job opportunities and development prospects in the rural regions of Azerbaijan has provoked a population influx to the capital, and the rapid growth of Baku's population has increased the load on the city's infrastructure. Problems faced by the metropolis and its inhabitants include gas cutoffs, waste management issues, water shortages, and traffic jams. [Read more…]
Investigation | Who are Panorama Tbilisi's mystery backers?
Since its announcement by billionaire then–Prime Minister Bidzina Ivanishvili, the Georgian Co-Investment Fund has began to reshape Georgia's capital. OC Media set out to unmask the backers of the project, but with the money channelled via murky offshores, this proved to be somewhat impossible.
Mosque demolished in historic Baku district despite protests
The Haji Javad Mosque, located in the historical Sovetski area of Baku's Yasamal District, was demolished overnight on 1 July, despite objections from locals, who were reportedly pushed away from the site by police. President Ilham Aliyev has dismissed the head of the district administration for making an 'unauthorised decision', Azerbaijani news outlet Trend reported.
Yerevan street vendors protest forced removal from Ferdowsi Market
On 6 June, the Yerevan City Hall informed the vendors of the clothing market on Ferdowsi Street that construction work would begin there on 15 June. The vendors were asked to move their improvised pavilions to other spots. They remain dissatisfied with the decision and have asked for six months to relocate. The negotiations have so far been fruitless.

Biographies of Buchanan County Residents:
Buford Adams
Transcribed by Danielle Thompson
the History of Buchanan County and the City of St Joseph and Representative
BUFORD ADAMS, district manager at St. Joseph of District No. 2, Missouri & Kansas Telephone Company, and one of the city's well-known citizens, was born in 1876 in Carroll County, Missouri, and is a son of William H. and Martha (Sands) Adams.
William H. Adams was born in Maryland and his wife in Indiana. After completing his education he taught school in Maryland for a time and then learned the cabinetmaking trade, which he followed for 10 years in Indiana. Deciding to turn his attention to farming, he purchased a farm in Lafayette County, Missouri, which he operated a few years and then removed to Ray County and from there to Carroll County following farming until 1884, when he settled at Carrolltown, where he now resides. He married Martha Sands, of near Frankfort, Indiana, and they had nine children, of whom five survive, namely: Maggie, who is the wife of L.L. Campbell; Dell M., who married Nodia Millstead; Carrie, who is the wife of Dr. Amos Lovell; and Buford, our subject, who married Elma Burrows.
Mr. Adams enjoyed only the educational advantages offered by the public schools and as soon as he had completed the course he secured employment with the Pacific Express Company. He continued in the express business for some time, but close attention and constant confinement of this character told on his health, and, after a serious illness at St. Louis, he took his physician's advice and sought outside employment, severing his pleasant connection of five years with the express companies. In a short time he was offered and accepted a position of manager of the Missouri & Kansas Telephone Company, with offices at Carrollton, Missouri, where he remained two years and was then transferred to Joplin and was placed in charge as manager of the Joplin and Carthage (Missouri) exchange, where he became manager at St. Joseph. On October 1, 1904, hw was made district manager of District No. 2, composed of 18 counties.
Mr. Adams' long service with this company is sufficient evidence of his ability and fidelity to duty. Under his intelligent management the company has prospered and the public has been accommodated. In political sentiment he is a Democrat. Fraternally, he is a Knight of Pythias, having his membership in a local lodge at St. Joseph, and is a member of the Commercial, Benton and Lotus clubs.

Dr. Sears Comments:
Alzheimer's is an inflammatory disease. The only way to resolve inflammation is by increasing the resolution response that generated by resolvins that come from omega-3 fatty acids. To get adequate levels in the brain, requires adequate levels in the blood. The omega-3 fatty acids (both EPA and DHA) enter the brain via transport mechanism mediated by ApoE. Those with ApoE4 mutant will simply require more EPA and DHA in the blood to get enough into the brain to resolve the inflammation that causes Alzheimer's. I don't consider the levels that they used to be high-dose, instead I would call just above placebo-dose

Puerto Rico is known for amazing beaches and a variety of rum drinks, including the famous Pina Colada. What about Art? Today, I set out to explore the art scene in Puerto Rico, starting with the capital of San Juan.
My first stop was the Centro de Bellas Artes de Puerto Rico. The building is surrounded by outdoor sculptures, murals, and paintings (FREE Activity). Early morning is the best time to visit, it is quiet, cool, and empty. I had the entire plaza to myself, with The Muses. These eight bronze female life-size sculptures are dedicated to the types of arts and culture found within the center; music, theater, literature, dance, films (my favorite pictured below), architecture, sculpture, and painting. Inside are three main concert and theater halls for plays, ballet, operas, symphony, concerts, and festivals. With a bit of planning, a performance here may be in my future.
Joined by Brenda from Traveleira, we ate a delicious brunch nearby, then walked to the Museo de Art de Puerto Rico, home to an eclectic assortment of local art. The docents (gallery workers) are polite, multilingual, knowledgeable, and passionate about the art. There are some beautiful, and thought provoking pieces which the docents are eager to discuss and admire with you. Paintings, sculpture, contemporary pop-art, modern art, impressionism, and more are represented in the gallery. With such a variety of styles, there are pieces that I immediately connected with and others that are not to my liking. The building itself is a simple design in a bright, whitewash surrounded by palm trees. The same air conditioners and humidifiers that protect the art, also are a cool refreshing break in the heat of the day. The cost of admission is very reasonable at $6 for an adult, with student, children, seniors, and other discounts. Continue reading "Museum of Art Puerto Rico"

"DTFL has been a revelation. The standard of their typing and the speed of their response has changed the way that chambers can function. We would now be lost without them. All members of chambers that use the facility have been similarly stunned. We could not recommend the service more sincerely"
Chambers, Civil and Public Law
"Annabel and her team at DTFL give us great flexibility of secretarial resource and always provide a speedy, accurate and efficient response to our requirements; they are an indispensible part of our team enabling us to deliver with their help the rapid and professional service required by our commercial clients."
Commercial Property Lawyers
"We have been using DTFL for over eight years now. They have reduced the need for in-house secretaries considerably, at a fraction of the cost. With a one hour turn around, accurate transcription and an "as and when we need service", we have not looked back. We are happy to recommend them."
Law Firm, Barnet, Hertfordshire
Litigation, Family, Commercial, Property
"Life in the office is fast and hard. We could not meet the needs of our clients without the services of DTFL who are always there whether it be to cope with a crisis quickly or deal with the daily deluge of correspondence."
Family Law Practice
"We have outsourced all our typing to DTFL since 2005 and have never looked back. The service is efficient and reliable. The typing is accurate. Cannot recommend highly enough."
Law Firm
"Annabel and DTFL have regularly provided an excellent service to me and my colleagues both in my present business and in my former professional positions. I have no hesitation in recommending her organisation."
Law Firm
"Finding DTFL has revolutionised my work. Access to such a reliable, efficient and cost effective transcription service has significantly reduced the pressure on my time. I have come to rely on this service as I am confident that work will be completed accurately and quickly, which is crucial as I have tight court deadlines to meet."
Consultant Clinical Psychologist
"I am delighted to provide this testimonial for Annabel and her team, who are always friendly and professional. I have 25 years experience as a social worker and developed my role as an Independent Social Worker five years ago. After experiencing an unreliable virtual transcription agency, 18 months ago I found DTFL who consistently provide a secure and reliable service. Their expert secretarial skills have enhanced my reports and the time saved assists in my efforts to achieve a work/life balance. I recommend their service without hesitation."
Independent Social Worker
"I am pleased to say I have used DTFL since its beginning and have nothing but praise for the speed of turnaround of work and the layout as well as total professionalism."
Sole Practitioner
"I make fairly extensive use of DTFL's transcription service and have found it to be highly professional, fast and efficient – noticeably better than competitive services I have tried in the past. The recordings I send to DTFL are more difficult than "normal" dictation, being recordings of lengthy interviews, with some participants having quite strong regional accents. I am impressed with the accuracy of the transcripts despite these extra complications. I would not hesitate to recommend DTFL's services to others."

Inexplicata-The Journal of Hispanic UFOlogy
UFO Digest Latin America Correspondent
Is the incipient UFO wave in Argentina beginning to have a ripple effect to neighboring countries? Guillermo Gimenéz alerts us to a video posted to YouTube suggesting that Paraguay — absent from UFO chronicles since UFOs were reported over the community of Luque in March 2010 — has experienced "strange object" sightings.
The text accompanying the video states that a group of young men was playing soccer at a neighborhood football field when they were startled by the presence of red lights some seventy meters from their position. A boy from the community of Loma Pyta named Ulises González was the one who saw the unidentified flying objects.
"Ulises," reads the original text, "was alerted by his 4-year-old niece, who had seen strange lights in the sky. He was playing football with some friends only blocks away from the El Portal shopping center.
Ultimahora.com's newsroom was visited by Ronald Maidana, who said that the lights were two at first and later became four. "The formed a lazy L-shape, lying on tis back, and then headed westward toward Argentina," he explained.

Notes from the Webmaster:
Well this month's edition of the newsletter is now posted. I've reorganized the
model gallery
by model type instead of the month it was taken to the meeting. Will's demo of simulating armor texture is posted in our new
section. I plan on getting a few bits here and there of each months demo and placing them here for all of you. I'm still looking for a good place to host our message board. My main area is now www.coolboards.com or www.disc.server.com I should have it narrowed down to one by the end of this month. I added the links in the newsletter to the
Related Links
page. Most of you seasoned web surfers probably have these sites bookmarked, but they're worth a look in case you've overlooked them.
That's all for now,

Articles and expert advice to help you guide your child to educational success.
Have a topic you'd like covered in a blog post? Submit here.
Flying with kids. Many of us get anxious just thinking about it. As parents we start asking the what-ifs, which change depending on the age of our children:
The list goes on and on.
I've flown many times with my sons, now ages 5 and 7, throughout their lives. From short flights to long ones to overseas, I've had good experiences and some that I'd rather forget, but overall I would say that flying has been manageable with them at all ages. Having just returned from a flight with them last night, I reflected on these experiences and stories I have heard from other parents to put together five tips that will make flying with kids easier.
Safe travels and enjoy! And don't worry too much about those around you—we were all kids at some point, so they will hopefully understand. Do you have any tips to share for flying with kids? Tell me in the comments below.

BD LSRFortessa
Superior Performance
Many innovations are incorporated into the BD LSRFortessa product line. The heart of the cytometer, the fluidics system features a true fixed alignment flow cell that is gel-coupled to the collection optics to maximize detector signal.
Fluidics System
The fluidics system is pressure driven. Hydrodynamic focusing forces sample cells through the cuvette flow cell, where they are interrogated. The flow cell is in fixed alignment with the laser and gel-coupled to the collection optics. This design ensures that the laser is precisely focused on the sample stream and the maximum amount of emitted light can be collected for added sensitivity in multicolor applications. Fixed alignment also minimizes startup time, improves experiment-to-experiment reproducibility, and enables automated daily quality control.
Unique and Revolutionary Designs for Multicolor Analysis
The sheath container (8 L) and waste container (10 L) are outside the cytometer, and positioned on the floor for easier access.
The optional BD FACSFlow™ supply system fluidics cart increases capacity and ease of use while maintaining a stable fluidics pressure. It includes an automated sheath and waste fluid control system that reduces daily maintenance by incorporating two 20-L containers (Cubitainers®).
Fluidic sensors maintain constant pressure, while a fluidics monitoring system warns when sheath fluid is low, empty, or when the waste container is full.
Cuvette flow cell
A quartz cuvette flow cell is gel-coupled to the collection optics. This design helps ensure that lasers are precisely focused on the sample stream to generate the greatest signal and ensure that the maximum amount of emitted light is collected.

Having been built in the 1970's our old staircase was very dark and old fashioned and we felt it needed updating..
We saw a lovely advert for Abbott-Wade in 'Lancashire life' magazine. We immediately loved the oak and glass and the fact we could keep our existing staircase appealed to us.
We chose Abbott-Wade because they were extremely accommodating. Despite our challenging requirements they were happy to do exactly as we specified without trying to influence us in to making any compromises.
The colour of natural oak would modernise the staircase & we knew the glass would help bring in light. Our home is on a split level & therefore everybody who visits uses our staircase; it's the hub of the house so we needed to get it right.
Very pleased, what a firm! Our neighbour had assumed we'd had no stairs for days, when in fact the job was completed in just over one day. There was minimal disruption you wouldn't have known they'd been here.

In'Tech Medical Launches New Prototyping Division
In'Tech Medical SAS (http://www.intech-medical.com), a leading developer and manufacturer of surgical instruments and implants for the orthopedic industry, launches a new division dedicated to the manufacturing of production-equivalent prototypes in a rapid delivery setting.
"The medical device industry is always looking to accelerate the time-to-market of new technologies, including surgical instruments," states Laurent Pruvost, President. "This is why we have created "The Prototype Garage." Simply said, it is a standalone prototyping cell at the heart of our standard production tool, designed to ensure fast delivery of production-equivalent, "surgery-ready" orthopedic instruments and implants."
The Prototype Garage is at the heart of our standard production tool, designed to ensure fast delivery of production-equivalent, "surgery-ready" orthopedic instruments and implants.
In'Tech Medical's 15 years of industry-leading experience makes it uniquely qualified to launch this initiative and meet the demands of the orthopedic industry. As the FDA and regulatory authorities become more and more demanding, The Prototype Garage is geared towards accelerating New Product launches by accompanying and supporting Medical Device Organizations through regulatory submissions and V&V (Verification & Validation) process.
Recognizing that each company's needs are unique, In'Tech Medical begins every assignment in close collaboration with the client's engineering team, analyzing prints and design intentions, as well as defining a precise timeline. Depending on the complexity of the project, The Prototype Garage is able to deliver production-equivalent prototypes in 4 to 6 weeks.
We invite everyone to The Prototype Garage website at ThePrototypeGarage.com," added Mr. Pruvost. "The site is not only informative, it is also a communication platform designed to allow companies developing new orthopedic designs to easily upload prints or models and submit an RFQ (i.e., Request for Quote). This is another example of our commitment to simplify the product development process and improve customer service."
In'Tech Medical will be exhibiting at Booth #6443 at AAOS (i.e., American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons) in Las Vegas, NV from March 24th through March 27th, 2015.

The mining giant led by billionaire Anil Agrawal had posted net loss of $3.8 billion in 2014-15, it said in a regulatory filing.
However its attributable net loss rose marginally to $1.83 billion in 2015-16 against $1.79 billion in the previous financial year.
The London-listed firm's revenues declined by 17 per cent to $10.74 billion in the last fiscal from $12.88 billion in 2014-15 on account of an "exceptionally challenging commodities markets" globally.
The company's Chairman Anil Agrawal said: "Vedanta demonstrated resilience this year, delivering healthy EBITDA margin, strong free cash flow and lower gross and net debt in a volatile commodities market."
The company had record production in zinc, lead, silver at Zinc India, Aluminium, Power and Copper cathodes, he added.
Vedanta Resources CEO Tom Albanese said: "In FY2016, Vedanta demonstrated resilience in the face of exceptionally challenging commodities markets around the world.
"In my 40 years in the mining business I have seen the commodity cycle turn many times, although the severity of this torrid year was something no one foresaw."
The firm said a strong free cash flow of $1.7 billion enabled it to reduce net debt by $1.1 billion and gross debt by $0.4 billion.
Vedanta Resources declared a final dividend of 30 US cents per share.
A year ago with Vedanta had announced an ambitious goal of delivering savings of $1.3 billion over the next four years.
Through a combination of new business programmes, operational excellence, modernisation of the supply chain and innovative ideas it saved USS 325 million in the first year.
Albanese said Vedanta resources' current requirements are low with FY 2017 capex expected to be around $1 billion, 50 per cent of which would be across the high return zinc projects at Gamsberg and Zinc India.
Going ahead, Agrawal said: "Naturally, we now hope for an improvement in the dynamics of the global commodity markets. Indeed, we are cautiously optimistic for 2017; based on the visibility we have now, we believe a recovery may be emerging, led by zinc."
Meanwhile, in a country where GDP may double in the decade ahead, Vedanta looks forward to playing its part in unlocking India's wealth of world-class energy and mineral resources, he added.

Dear Gershon, after this great achievement, how about a smaller challenge, though important?
As I noticed on your page this "MAKOMOT – The Israeli Center for Environment Mediation", I thought you might like to explore the political opportunity of the World Social Forum to take place on January 24-29.
It will be thematic on Social and Environmental Justice. I think ME Peace might help organize an Israeli-Palestinian presence to bring problems such as water etc.
If you´d like to start studying about the Forum, I and my friends in Brazil can help you on that.
Event : 2012 Thematic Social Forum: capitalist crisis, Social and Environmental Justice – Porto Alegre and Metropololitan Area
Location: Porto Alegre, RS (Brazil)
Date: january 24-29
Event: Thematic World Education Forum – Social and Environmental Justice
Location: Gravataí, RS (Brazil)
Date: january 24-29
Website: www.forummundialeducacao.org
اhello gershon

Typical Hilton Garden hotel with spacious modern rooms. The breakfast offering was really nice. The surrounding area has nothing to offer and it is far to downtown unless you want to drive a car. The parking garage at 20 Euros is steep considering the location. The rooms and bathrooms are a bit outdated and could use some work soon.
Great hotel and staff, and well worth the money per night, very well maintained and clean Great restaurant options for breakfast
We had a great experienced at this Hilton Garden. The service was incredibly warm and welcoming especially from room service. We were about 15-20 minutes from Central Vienna Opera House by taxi. The subway also appeared to be in walking distance. There is a restaurant on site which provides affordable and quality food.

Jamaican Curry Powder- Perfect blend of Homemade Curry Powder. Quick, easy, no additives or fillers AND it tastes way better than your store bought brands.
Looking back at my life there has never been a time when I did not have a curry jar in my pantry. It's always been a pantry staple and something that I use more often than not. My sister and I knew the magic ingredient to make a disastrous stew somewhat edible- Curry spice.
Just a little would evade the awkward glances from everyone at the table. I was petrified when it came to my turn, I would check, double check and triple check, to make sure there was enough in the jar before turning on the gas stove.
Curry is not a single spice, but a unique blend of spices. Which differs greatly in intensity, flavor and heat level from region to region. I have been meaning to make mine now for a while but just kept putting it off. What gave me the extra push is a curry competition I attended. You had a group of participants from different Caribbean Countries with jamming curry Chicken. I mean lip smacking, finger licking curry chicken that would awaken all the sensations in your body. Yes! They were that good.
But the winner had a secret; she made her own curry spice blend. As soon as I tasted it, I knew this was it for me! The seasonings were perfectly balanced- not one over powering the other. Since it was a competition and I was a Judge I had to be very respectable and hold the moaning and groaning..
Curious about curry powder. Want to know the difference between Jamaican curry powder and Indian curry powder. Well, say no more.
There are a few differences between the two. After doing side by side comparison and some digging. You would notice that some most Jamaican, not all Jamaican curry powder are bright yellow from lots of turmeric; dried scotch bonnet pepper (a childhood favorite) and always include allspice, also known as pimentos.
Here, I used cayenne pepper because dried scotch bonnet pepper is not readily available. Since this is homemade I took the liberty of adding nutmeg, which is not typical feel free to leave out or adjust.
This is just my interpretation of this curry spice so switch it up if desired. Making your own homemade spice blend means you control how much of a spice goes in your blend.
Also do you want it to be salty or no salt. Spicy or Less Spicy. I always leave out the salt
Make it yours!!!
- If you can't find these spices at your local grocery store. Your best bet would be Indian Markets.
- Lightly toasting your spices just before grinding gives it a more complex and bolder flavor.

It was a fine Saturday morning. I woke up late since we didn't have classes. We were entitled to extra hours sleep on weekends. I was 9 years old by then. My mom gave me some books which she just bought. It was still wrapped in a paper from the store. I was so happy that I almost skipped breakfast just to start reading them! Inside were two books, a Nancy Drew and another was a book with a picture of a little boy holding a rabbit in a Christmas setting. It was entitled, "The Velveteen Rabbit" by Margery Williams.
I was curious what this book is. We do not celebrate Christmas, why did Mom got me this book? Who is this Margery Williams? I only know Caroline Keene and all the other authors of the books that I usually read. With my curiosity, I read the book first before the other Nancy Drew novel. And guess what, I was happy I did.
The book is about the quest of a velveteen rabbit who wanted to be real. His wish came true through the love of the little boy. But the story isn't just that. There is more to it. I have learned a lot of important lessons that made this book very valuable. I quoted some lines from the book where we can find great lessons that are totally life changing.
Lessons from the Velveteen Rabbit1. Love genuinely. "What is REAL?" asked the Rabbit. "When a child loves you for a long, long time, not just to play with, but REALLY loves you, then you become Real," said the Skin Horse.
As human beings, we were created from God's love and we have to live with love and by loving others because if not, we cease to being real. Becoming real entails genuine love. This isn't just about romantic love but this includes how your family and friend love you. If you feel unloved, look back to how your mother nurtured you, how you father spent time with you and how your friends helped you when they needed them the most.
2. You'll get hurt in loving. 'Does it hurt?' asked the Rabbit. 'Sometimes,' said the Skin Horse, for he was always truthful. 'When you are Real you don't mind being hurt.'
Getting hurt while loving someone is all part of it. It helps us see realism and will move us to better life decisions. Sometimes, we would sacrifice and take risks just for the people we love. In the end, when love is present, it can be totally worth it. Like what the Skin Horse said, pain is nothing when you real and when you are loved.
3. You are beautiful to those who truly love you. 'Does it happen all at once, like being wound up,' he asked, 'or bit by bit?' 'It doesn't happen all at once,' said the Skin Horse. 'You become. It takes a long time. That's why it doesn't happen often to people who break easily, or have sharp edges, or who have to be carefully kept. Generally, by the time you are Real, most of your hair has been loved off, and your eyes drop out and you get loose in the joints and very shabby. But these things don't matter at all, because once you are Real you can't be ugly, except to people who don't understand."
Beauty is nothing for those who truly loves you. For them, you will always be beautiful even if you commit mistakes. They can see your inner beauty and would even look for that tiny beautiful spark in you even if other people can only see darkness. When you love, you do not see other's weakness and defects. You will only see their beauty.
4. Once and for always. The Skin Horse says, "Once you become real you cannot become unreal again."
Love cannot be taken back once given. Once you love, your love will remain in that person. Once you found your real self, why would you have that desire to get lost again? Once you are you, you will always be you no matter what others say and no matter what they do. Once you are real to yourself, you can look even more real to others.
There are still other lessons that we can get from the book. Like how a person can be transformed because of love similar to the rabbits transformation from a stuffed toy to a real rabbit. If you will read the book and understand each word, each phrase, each line, you will surely be able to create a long list of life lessons that will remind you of the beauty of life and of living.
A Perfect Gift
This book is perfect for people of all ages especially those who feel unloved, for people who haven't seen their own value, for people who only see negativity in life and for people who find it hard to be real.
So, if you are looking for a perfect gift, this one is the best pick. Wrapping The Velveteen Rabbit as a present is like wrapping a gift of love, giving the readers a lifetime realization that could forever change the way they view life.
As for me, this is a book that I will never get tired of reading over and over again. I will wait for the day that my daughter could read so that I can pass this book to her and so she could get the lessons I learned from it. And I know, she will love this book same way as I did. This will be one of the perfect gifts I can give her even if it isn't new because it has more value than a toy or a new book. It can even mold her into a better person who is ready to love, get hurt and become real.
I definitely recommend one for kids and adults too. Do not be bothered seeing unhappy faces knowing that you have just given them a thin book about a rabbit because once they read it, they will thank you for it and they will feel how much you love them. Like me, they will realize why you gave the book to them. My mother really knows what is best for me. And as a mother, I know that this is also the best book for my daughter.

Columbia crosses bridge with future trail improvements
Related Story
COLUMBIA - A grant approved during Monday night's city council meeting will allow for the city of Columbia to make several improvements to its trail system.
The first improvement includes the reconstruction of two bridges on the MKT trail.
"A lot of people don't know that these bridges were part of a railroad system," City Park Planner Mike Snyder said. "Now they are extremely old and have become a safety concern."
Snyder said the two bridges are more than 100 years old. He also said construction for the bridges is due to begin in December of 2017.
"We want to limit the inconvenience that may be caused during the construction that's why we are constructing during the winter months," Snyder said.
Snyder also said he understands that there are people who enjoy the trails during the winter so during construction, alternative routes will be provided.
Another change coming to the trails are informational signs.
City Planner Janet Godon said the trails were designed to get people to where they "work, live and play" but there has been one constant criticism.
"Sometimes people don't actually know where they can go on our trails," Godon said.
Godon said the new sign additions will give trail users a better idea of where they can travel on the trails. Currently, there are only a total of four trail signs. Godon said the city plans to add 19 signs in addition to the four along the 26-mile stretch.
"This will help people be more aware of where they are on the trails and where those trails can get them," Godon explained.
Trail rules and regulations will also be on the new signs. Godon said having the rules on the sign will reduce trail-user conflict between cyclists and pedestrians.
"Occasionally we hear from cyclists and pedestrians that people aren't moving over as far right as is safe," she said.
The grant allows for the sign process take three years but Godon said she hopes they can begin putting signs up starting Fall of 2017.

Brandon Carpenter, an itinerant musician from Portland, said Wednesday that a Louisiana police officer shot and killed his dog Monday morning, even though the "incredibly friendly" dog was on a four-foot leash.
"That dog wouldn't hurt a fly," Carpenter said of his 90-pound dog in a telephone interview with the BDN. "Everybody loved Arzy. Everybody said, 'Oh, he's so friendly. So gentle.' He was an angel in dog form."
The 28-year-old musician, who has been on the road for 12 years, had hopped a freight train from Lafayette, Louisiana, to Sulphur, Louisiana, with his friend, 21-year-old Logan Laliberte of Auburn. The duo was on their way to stay with friends in Lake Charles, Louisiana, their backpacks, guitars and the 14-month-old Newfoundland-Labrador-golden retriever mix in tow, when they got off the train in the early morning.
"We were exhausted, and as we were walking, it started to rain," Carpenter said.
They decided to find a place to sleep a little out of the rain, and clambered into the back of an empty box truck that was parked in the lot of the city newspaper, the Southwest Daily News. About 10 minutes after they got in, Carpenter said, they were woken up by a police officer who drew his gun and ordered them to get out.
"We were extremely compliant. We did everything he asked us to do," Carpenter said, adding that he tied Arzy to a fence with a short leash when Officer Brian Thierbach of the Sulphur Police Department told him to secure his dog.
Thierbach put the men in handcuffs and ordered them to get on the ground, facing away from the dog. Then the officer, who wanted to get their belongings from the truck, asked if the dog was going to bite or attack him, Carpenter recounted.
"I said no, it's an incredibly friendly dog. He's a big teddy bear," he said.
According to Carpenter, eyewitness Eric Midkiff, an employee of the newspaper, saw the officer pet the dog for a few seconds.
"His tongue was out. His tail was wagging. That's my dog," Carpenter said. "Arzy maybe did a little sniff, like do you want to play? Then [the officer] jumped down from the back of the truck and shoots my dog in the head. I watched him convulse his last breath and twitch the life out of him."
Carpenter said that the officer threw their belongings out of the truck, and then he and Laliberte waited for about half an hour until another police vehicle drove up.
"They put on rubber gloves and pulled out a trash bag," he said. "They stuffed my magnificent dog into this trash bag. I said, 'You didn't have to shoot him.' The officer smiled at me and said, 'He nipped at my foot.' Arzy did nothing like that."
According to the Southwest Daily News, Midkiff said in an official statement to police that Arzy did not attack the officer.
"He also stated that he saw the dog wagging his tail and acting in a friendly manner, and that it was when the dog bumped against Thierbach that the officer immediately responded by shooting the animal," the newspaper account stated.
Efforts Wednesday to speak with Midkiff were unsuccessful.
According to the article, newspaper employees had called the police department that morning to report two suspicious-looking men with a dog hanging around the paper's box trucks. The dog was first thought to be a black Rottweiler mix, according to the account.
An official from the Sulphur Police Department told the BDN Wednesday that the city's mayor and police chief are currently conducting an investigation into the matter in conjunction with the Calcasieu Parish Sheriff's Office and are not releasing any comments.
For Carpenter, who said that he's had a lot of extraordinary adventures and had a lot of difficult experiences during his years on the road, the death of his dog in this way is not something from which he can easily move on.
"It was completely monstrous, what this man did," he said. "We'll be staying here until justice is served to this police officer."
A Facebook group he started called "Justice for Arzy" was quickly accumulating posts of support on Wednesday afternoon. According to Carpenter, protesters also are planning to picket the Sulphur Police Department on Saturday.
"He thought I was just a train-hopping punk, and he could shoot my dog and get away with it," Carpenter said. "You messed with the wrong traveler."

Considering the deepest questions about human nature and society
IAST's scientific program involves ten disciplines: anthropology, biology, economics, history, law, mathematics, philosophy, political science, psychology and sociology. This is a unified scientific project whose aim is to study the behavior of human beings as evolved biological organisms who live in groups, form networks and coalitions, are governed by formal institutions and informal norms, produce and exchange scarce resources and are inspired by ideals and beliefs.
IAST's researchers typically have a training in one (sometimes more) of our ten disciplines, and we remain convinced of the importance of a rigorous disciplinary training. However, they work on questions that transcend disciplinary boundaries, and in teams that bring a variety of different scientific tools to bear on these questions. We do not expect or aim to make disciplinary boundaries redundant, but to transcend them by discovering complementarities between the tools that different researchers have to offer, in pursuit of the large questions that concern us all as scientists and as citizens.
The Institute for Advanced Study in Toulouse is a unified scientific project whose aim is to study human behavior.
We offer an innovative and multidisciplinary approach to science and welcome international researchers trained in the different social sciences to tackle important research questions.
Our ambition is to break down artificial disciplinary boundaries to unlock new ideas and address the challenges of the 21st century.
Our organization is unique: IAST is a French governmental funded LABEX which fundings are dedicated to research and the supported teams.
Our work
Our community brings together (figures from 2018):
• 45 resident faculty;
• 13 non-resident faculty based in Toulouse;
• 108 visitors (including speakers in seminars, workshops and conferences), from institutions in 17 countries, of whom 21 spent at least a few days at IAST, and 14 of whom are long-term visitors
• 7 Ph.D. scholars;
In addition to providing an agreeable and supportive research environment (our researchers published 4 books and 36 articles in leading international scientific journals in 2017), we hold a weekly Tuesday lunch workshop for internal presentations and a weekly Friday research seminar.
We host three Distinguished Lectures per year, as well as holding 9 workshops and conferences in 2017.
Our researchers are not obliged to engage in multi-disciplinary research projects but the extensive interactions mean that many of them in fact do so.
Looking foward
To sustain our research for the upcoming years, we have launched with TSE our Toulouse Talent - Global Impact campaign with the aim of raising €50M, our three main priorities are :
• Solving key economic and social issues
• Educating the brightest future talent
• Offering an exciting location to foster innovation
IAST researchers have succeeded in gaining funds from other sources: two ERC grants, three ANR grants, two IDEX senior chairs and a smaller IDEX grant, an IUF grant, a private donation to fund a center in political science, as well as our joint IAST-TSE Digital Center, which has received both private and public funding.
Imagined by TSE Chairman and Nobel laureate Jean Tirole seven years ago, the Institute for Advanced Study in Toulouse (IAST) was created in 2011 thanks to support from the French government.
In 2010, as part of its €57bn. Investments for the Future program prominently dedicated to research and higher education, the French government launched an ambitious and extensive tender for applications to select the most promising research clusters and units, the laboratories of excellence (LABEX = laboratoires d'excellence). The tender resulted in the award of 171 multi-year LABEX across all disciplines, selected by an international selection jury. IAST received one of the largest LABEX grants: LABEX IAST was awarded in 2011 with a 25 M€ funding commitment over 9 years, the third largest among the 100 grants in the first wave of LABEX grants.
The long-term recruitment of IAST, fully financed by LABEX IAST, is based on senior chairs (currently three), four tenure-track positions, six visiting fellowships, and numerous 3-year post-doctoral research fellowships (currently 20, rising to 23 in 2017). Another 20-25 researchers, who are either TSE economists or belong to research units in other disciplines in Toulouse, are active in IAST. Thus, IAST can be assured of on a research faculty of about 55 active, Toulouse-based members, of which 45 are resident members located on IAST and TSE premises, as well as many regular long-term visitors.
