By C. Trent Rosecrans, Cincinnati Enquirer
Scheduled to pitch multiple innings on Friday, right-hander Barrett Astin and left-hander Wandy Peralta were excited about the extended outings and talked pregame about opening up their arsenal.
For much of camp, the two have stayed with their strongest pitches, but with two innings on tap, Peralta told Astin he was going to use his changeup more in the game against Cleveland. Astin decided it was time to break out his curveball and changeup to add to his fastball and slider mix.
The result was four scoreless innings out of the pair, two by each. Astin allowed a hit and struck out four.
"I'm just trying to stay within myself and go out there and pitch," Astin said. "I'm just trying to throw it right over the plate. Command (pitches) down in the zone, mix it up a little bit and it usually goes well."
So far Astin has allowed just six hits and a run in 6 2/3 innings over six outings. Peralta has a 4.70 ERA in 7 2/3 innings over six appearances. Three of the four runs he's allowed came in one outing.
But spring training statistics are rarely as important as spring training impressions, especially for the younger pitchers like Peralta and Astin.
"The thing about it, a lot of these guys who don't just wow you with power," Reds manager Bryan Price said. "(Friday, Astin) was 92-94, so plenty of fastball. The guys who, when you see (Luis) Castillo, you say, 'oh man.' That's 96-100. Or Ariel Hernandez. Or any number of these guys. If you see Rookie Davis now throwing the ball as hard as he's throwing it, 92-96. The stuff stands out.
"It's more for the guys who don't have the 'wow' velocity but have the pitchability. You need to see those guys enough to see this guy can manage a zone, he can field his position, he can control the running game. There's a presence and a maturity, but it takes a little time to assess those guys. Sometimes a one-inning look, you see them doesn't do much for me as an evaluator."
Mitchell impressing
Also making an impression is left-hander Evan Mitchell, who entered Saturday's game not having allowed a run in 4 2/3 innings over six appearances.
Saturday was Mitchell's 25th birthday and joked that so far 24 had been treating him well, so he wasn't sure if getting older was a good thing.
"I liked the 24-year-old Evan," he said.
Mitchell appeared in 33 games for Double-A Pensacola last season, going 4-1 with a 2.70 ERA in 46 2/3 innings.
After bouncing between the bullpen and the rotation at Mississippi State, the Georgia native has been almost exclusively a reliever in pro ball.
Like Peralta and Astin, he's caught the eye of his manager.
"He's been the guy who has come in as the middle-of-the-fire guy," Price said. "He's been the guy who has entered a lot of games with runners on base, pitchers hit his pitch count and Evan's come in there and his first-batter efficiency has been terrific. He's throwing strikes with his fastball and slider and been extremely impressive."

Here's to another year of great sports and physical activity at Almondsbury C of E Primary School.
Almondsbury School again continues to go from strength to strength. We were really pleased to achieve the GOLD SAINSBURY'S SCHOOL GAMES KITEMARK AWARD for 2015-2016 again last year.
Our school is so proud of and grateful for the wonderful support, hard work and enthusiasm the whole school community has towards PE and school sport. Thank you to everyone! page is currently awaiting content.
ITV filming
One of our quality after school clubs, the Bristol Flyers Basketball club, was asked by ITV to film coaching in action. The club members showed off the skills that they have been taught by the great Bristol Flyers Basketball players at the Thursday after school club.
As well as filming them warming up and training, they interviewed a couple of our children to ask them what they thought about the coaching and what they had learnt.
We are waiting to hear when the programme will be aired on ITV sports news over the next couple of weeks and will let you know.

Gene Simmons Calls Prince's Death 'Pathetic,' Says Icon 'Killed Himself'
KISS front man Gene Simmons recently did a bizarre interview in which he called Prince's death "pathetic" and accused the icon of killing himself with drugs and alcohol.
"Bowie was the most tragic [death] of all because it was real sickness. All the other ones were a choice," ranted Simmons to Newsweek.
When asked about Prince," the singer quickly replied, "His drugs killed him. What do you think, he died from a cold?"
"How pathetic that he killed himself. Don't kid yourself, that's what he did. Slowly, I'll grant you… but that's what drugs and alcohol is: a slow death."
He was of course alluding to the fact that Prince was found with prescription painkillers in his possession and officials are considering a possible drug overdose.
According to Simmons, he's personally never been drunk or high in his life, rambling, "I can almost understand drinking or getting high if it made my schmeckel bigger, or made me smarter, but nothing happens."

it worked!
1) I made Greek yogurt and it Worked!
Me: I really love Greek yogurt...
Natanya: You should make it
Me: is it hard?
Natanya: My mom has 8 kids and she makes yogurt all the time, it can't that hard.
Me: in that case....
It is really easy, I used this website:
Bean Sprouts: How to make greek yogurt
2) Janoodle definitely loves avocados more than I do.
This is her food shelf:
No judgement, I'm just reporting the facts.
3) Natanya and Jesse are ENGAGED!!!!
WHOOHOO! Natanya LOVES being engaged but reports that having a huge diamond on your hand can make it very hard to study Russian.

you smell like....
Men wear what they think will smell good to women and women wear what they think will smell good to men, right? Or do we all wear what smells good to us and hope for the best? If a guy smelled like a girl and a girl smelled like a guy would we think it smelled good? Do we like what we're used to smelling on ourselves or do we like to smell something different?
We have some AXE Snake Peel body wash in our shower and I'm wondering if I smelled like that all the time would guys think I smelled good or would girls? Would men like it if women smelled like them? I mean it doesn't smell bad, its earthy and clean smelling, but will guys think I smell good or will girls? Why do we like to smell what we smell on who we smell it and would we like to smell it as much if it smelled like that on someone else?
Smell is such a weird word.

17 hours of solid daydreaming
Tomorrow 6 of us will get in Grandpa Buick and start driving 17 hours to Seagrove, FL. Pit-stops to drop off Mowgli and pick up Kristen, then 11 hours to Atlanta where we pick up Kristen's sister. The next morning its on to FLORIDA. Ahhhh, Sun, Beach, OCEAN.
I can't wait for the car ride. With 6 girls in one car for 11 hours, it can't help but be interesting. One of my favorite things is riding in a car and watching the scenery go by; you get the best daydreaming ever. As long as no one is grumpy and you don't get too carried away and miss your exit; I think car rides are right up there with a nice hot bath.
The best part is we rented a cottage; so we'll have a whole new Girls House in Florida. Its going to fly by, hopefully we'll get to do at least a little bit of everything planned.

Where's Waldo?
I will always remember this past weekend. You wouldn't think Saturday night and puzzle would go in the same sentence unless you're 90 years old, but...you obviously haven't been to our house.
Thanks to the Puzzle Nazi we were up until 5:30AM. I'm not sure if that means we're really good at puzzles or amazingly bad. Seriously, I probably won't be touching a puzzle for a long time. Unless we find one at the beach.
Puzzles at the beach, now there's a good time. Truly, anything at the beach is a good time.

This project will provide a digital readout for machine tools using a linear sensor which is being read by a SAMD20 microcontroller and displayed on an 8 digit LED. This project extrapolates the Elektor "From 8 to 32 bits" articles but I am using SAMD20 E14 on a custom board. It uses Exterior Interrupts. and call back functions.
The project has three boards at present. No doubt I will reconfigure when I have got it fully working,
At the back of the picture is the linear encoder connected to the small board which provides level changing because the mcu works at 3,3 v and the encoder works at 5, This connects to the mcu board via 50mil ribbon connectors which provides power to the other two boards and also has test points for scopes etc. The third board is the 8 digit led on which the numbers are just a sanity check at present. The LED is powered by a MAX 7219 ic. The mcu is communicating with the 7219 with SPI protocol.
On the mcu board I have a couple of leds (again as sanity check) blinking in a callback function triggered by the external interrupt caused by the square wave output of the linear encoder.
My next aim is to get the LEDisplay counting in simple terms the impulses from the encoder.
I have now done quite alot of work on the programming, and the whole project is now looking in sight of completion.
I have now got the readout reading 10 micron intervals. I got a bit of help fromAVR FReaks and others concerning using global variables and my whole understanding of C has moved on enormously.
I have also moved on considerably in terms of interrrupts and callbacks. I discovered that the IC port expander which is used in the "From 8 to 32 bits" articles, MCP 23017 has got some superb interrupt facilities and I have run a wire from its interrupt output to the SAMD20 so that I am generally reducing the polling that has to go on in the Main function. I have also created a little library for the IC because I can see it is going to be a very useful chip.
Apart from installing in an enclosure, the principal job left is to be able to use the buttons attached to the MCP 23017 so that I can modify the numbers. For the uninitiated, a digital readout is attached to a machine tool so that cuts can be made with an accurate knowledge of what you are doing, rather than cut and measure, cut and measure. Having measured the work, you set up the numbers on the DRO and you can then do an accurately predictable cut... I hope.

We are deeply disappointed that the Florida legislature did not fund the Florida Forever land acquisition program in the recently-completed legislative session and only allocated $10 million for the Rural and Family Lands program. This is even worse than last year's budget of a paltry $60 million for these programs. For many years prior to the recession, Florida Forever received $300 million!
On a positive note, legislators allocated over $250 million for Everglades restoration, $50 million for beach restoration, $50 million for springs restoration and protection, and $13 million for the St. Johns River. But, in addition to ZERO funding for new conservation lands, the Department of Environmental Protection's budget was cut 20%. So much for protecting Florida's precious environment.
Many farmers and ranchers are under pressure to sell their family lands to development. The Rural and Family Lands program is a vital component of the North Florida Land Trust's efforts to keep these areas in agricultural production. The $10 million allocation to this program is woefully insufficient.
Florida voters overwhelmingly approved the Land and Water Legacy Amendment in 2014 which sets aside 1/3 of document stamp tax revenue into the Land Acquisition Trust Fund. Since then, lawmakers have ignored voters' intent. Statewide this fund had over $900 million last year including $47 million for Northeast Florida's seven counties. Residents expected some of that money to come back to our region for parks and preserves; but, again this year, it didn't happen.
Let your legislators know that as a voter, you expect them to significantly fund acquisition of conservation land, including the Florida Forever, Florida Communities Trust and Rural and Family Lands programs.
Find your state senator and representative at http://www.myfloridahouse.gov/Sections/Representatives/myrepresentative.aspx
Andrea has spoken to citizens' groups throughout NE Florida, encouraging residents to get involved by contacting elected officials and writing letters to the editor. If your local group is interested in learning more, please contact NFLT Conservation Advocate Andrea Conover to schedule a presentation.

Leadership MKE supports candidates and elected officials running for local office who share our civic minded approach. We support a diverse group of candidates who have demonstrated their commitment to problem solving, compromise, and listening to their constituents. These candidates will reject the constant political fighting that is hurting Milwaukee's ability to grow and move forward.
Milwaukee County is adding new jobs, lowering unemployment, and becoming a better place to live, work, and raise a family. We need more local leaders who will make the necessary investments in infrastructure to create jobs so Milwaukee County will keep moving forward.
Milwaukee County has tremendous parks that improve the quality of life for our residents. We believe in sustainably investing in our parks and ensuring that the youth and senior services that make our community great are fully funded.
Every citizen deserves to feel safe, and Milwaukee County must improve public safety and do a better job of keeping our neighborhoods free from crime. We need leaders who are focused on solutions, not political battles, to the problems we face. Now is the time to address the significant racial disparities in our criminal justice system, work to end mass incarceration, and restore trust in our law enforcement officers.
A strong public transit system is vital to continue Milwaukee County's economic revival – and ensure that all Milwaukee residents share in new economic prosperity. We need elected officials who will champion public transportation and fight to make Milwaukee County's transportation system a world class system that will attract the businesses of the future.
Milwaukee County's history of fiscal mismanagement has come to an end. Now we must continue to support elected leaders who stand up to the special interests and protect taxpayers. Milwaukee County must continue to reduce debt and eliminate waste whenever possible so that future generations can count on the important social services and programs that improve our quality of living.

Katie Holmes Shares Epic 'Dawson's Creek' Throwback Pic: 'I Am Forever Grateful'
Katie Holmes was feeling "forever grateful" as she posted a Dawson's Creek throwback photo Thursday.
The 39-year-old actress shared a picture on Instagram of herself with former co-star James Van Der Beek on the set of the show's pilot.
'Dawson's Creek' Turns 20: All the Guest Stars You May Have Forgotten About (PHOTOS)
The teen phenomenon premiered on January 20, 1998.
Holmes and Van Der Beek played Joey Potter and Dawson Leery, respectively, on The WB series. The snapshot, taken by co-star Mary-Margaret Humes, shows the pair posing with series creator Kevin Williamson.
"#tbt when we were filming the pilot for #dawsonscreek it was such a magical time and I am forever grateful to all who were involved and all of our fans @kevwilliamson @vanderjames [photo by] @thereal_marymargarethumes," Holmes wrote.
Dawson's Creek, which co-starred Michelle Williams and Joshua Jackson, had a six-season run from 1998 to 2003. Holmes discussed the possibility of a reunion in a 2016 interview with SiriusXM's Just Jenny Show.
"I don't think we're going to do a reunion," the star told host Jenny Hutt. "We did grow up, but we see each other every now and then."
"I think that the charm of the show was Kevin Williamson's writing and it was of that time and it gave teenagers this voice," she added. "It was a very, very special time—a special show and I loved every minute of it."

A young mother and new immigrant to the United States was alarmed. Her 2-year-old son was not yet speaking. Luckily, her pediatrician referred her to early intervention services, which connected her with a bilingual Mandarin/English-speaking speech-language pathologist.
This SLP also belonged to ASHA's Asian Pacific Islander Speech-Language-Hearing Caucus (API Caucus). The SLP worked with this child for a year, taking care to integrate and adapt treatment activities to the routines and language practices of the family. As the child made gains, the SLP also interpreted, translated and facilitated on behalf of the client's family and educational team during the boy's transition to preschool. Later, our colleague volunteered to advocate for this family during a housing crisis.
Volunteering to serve clients above and beyond professional duties is often the norm for members of the API Caucus.
What exactly is the API Caucus?
The term Asian and Pacific Islanders includes all people of Asian (East Asian, Southeast Asian, South Asian), Asian American, Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander heritage.
The field of speech-language pathology was once unknown to most people in the API communities. In 1985, Lilly Li-Rong Cheng led a small group of ASHA-certified API professionals to hold the first meeting of the API caucus at the ASHA National Office, and we have been meeting ever since.
We are just one of six multicultural constituency groups, which you can learn more about in this series:
Helping You Serve Spanish-Speaking Children and Adults—Your ASHA Hispanic Caucus
Get to Know Your Asian Indian Caucus
Our mission is to make connections, share common concerns, educate, mentor and advocate for quality speech, language and hearing services for API communities.
How can you get involved with the API Caucus?
We offer free membership to all students and professionals with an interest in promoting speech, language and hearing health in API communities, regardless of background.
- Visit the API Caucus website at apislhc.com.
- Join our vibrant API Caucus Facebook Group.
- View the API Caucus Youtube channel.
- Email us at firstname.lastname@example.com.
The API Caucus aims to address the disparity between the number of speech-language-hearing professionals with relevant cultural/linguistic knowledge and those in the API communities who need their services. For example, people of API descent represent 22 million of our country's population, but only 5,575 of ASHA members—a 1 to 4,000 ratio.
The API Caucus is collaborating with the Asian Indian Caucus to conduct an online survey of API students and professionals in the speech-language-hearing sciences. We hope to use results of this survey to better inform future recruitment and retention of API professionals.
Help us spread the word by taking the short survey today!
Our other ongoing efforts include:
- Providing referrals for audiologists and SLPs with particular cultural/linguistic expertise.
- Gathering relevant resources, information, research and materials for members to easily access.
- Creating connections among colleagues with shared interests in serving the API community.
- Fundraising to generate scholarships and grants for API Caucus members to enhance their skills.
The API Caucus continually strives to better serve you and our diverse communities. Join us and let us know how we can help!
Editor's note: This is the second installment in a series covering all six of ASHA's Multicultural Constituency Groups.

SUBJECTS: Labor's positive plans for jobs in renewable energy; Labor's positive plans for the economy; Superannuation; Joe Hockey; The Reserve Bank; Penalty rates
MATT THISTLETHWAITE, MEMBER FOR KINGSFORD SMITH: Morning everyone, welcome to Kingsford-Smith. I'd like to thank Mark Martin and the team here at the Advanced Centre for Photovoltaics at the University of New South Wales. This is a world leading research and development institute and Mark perfectly described this institute to me a moment ago when he said if you want to be an astronaut, you want to work at NASA. If you want to work in photovoltaics and solar research, you want to work right here at the University of NSW. The team here recently broke a world record for the conversion of sunlight into energy. And, of course, in 2013 a Labor Government was proud to partner with the team here on research and development, and the results that they've achieved perfectly highlight what can happen when Governments invest in re newable energy and it's technology.
Now walking through the Institute a moment ago, you would have seen a lot of young people. Young PhD students from all over the globe who want to work at this fantastic institute, and there's a lot at stake for young people in this election. Particularly, on climate change. Bill, Tanya and I are here today to tell the people who work here and to tell young people throughout the country that there is a better choice when it comes to renewable energy. There is a better choice when it comes to tackling climate change, taking real action on climate change and that is Labor Party's policy on renewables and on tackling climate change, and that's why I am really proud that Tanya and Bill have joined me here today, and I'll now hand over to Bill who is going to make a few comments.
BILL SHORTEN, LEADER OF THE OPPOSITION: Thanks Matt. Good morning everybody. It's great to be at the University of NSW. It was no less a person than Vice-President Gore who told me that he thought the University of NSW was the premier solar research centre in the world. And the work that is being done here proves that Australia can compete for jobs of the future. That's why Tanya, Matt and I are pleased to be here today, continuing to talk about Labor's commitment to real action on climate change by prioritising renewable energy and making sure we get our fair share of the jobs of the future. By prioritising renewable energy in our energy mix and getting to the goal of 50% renewable energy by 2030, we will make sure that Australia gets its fair share of the 2.5 trillion dollars of investment that is forecast to be made in renewable energy in the Asia-Pacific region alone.
The rest of the world in the last two years has added two million jobs, renewable energy jobs. Australia by contrast with the indecision, the confusion and the climate scepticism of the current Liberal government, we have gone backwards by nearly 3,000 jobs. Today I will be announcing that a Commonwealth government by 2030 will be deriving 50% of its energy mix from renewable sources. What we will do is put markers in the ground, pegs in the ground so we help create a market for investment in renewable energy. Mr Turnbull loves to talk about jobs and growth but that's just an empty three-word slogan. What we need is really practical developments which actually assists the creation and maintenance of good quality jobs.
The research which we've been privileged to see this morning is going to drive a new wave of investment, advanced manufacturing, helping households have lower prices for their energy and also cutting pollution. The University of New South Wales should be congratulated. We're the sunniest continent in the world but last year the United Kingdom had four times the amount of solar rooftop installation that Australia had because of the uncertainty under the Liberals. If we want the best researchers, and we have the best natural advantages, Australians should have a government in Canberra who is determined to take real action on climate change by focusing on renewable energy. I would like to invite my deputy Tanya Plibersek to talk further about the benefits of what we are talking about today.
TANYA PLIBERSEK, DEPUTY FEDERAL LABOR LEADER: Thank you so much, Bill, and thank you, Matt, for welcoming us to your electorate and the University of New South Wales for hosting us here. Australia, of course, has been a leader in renewable technology and it's been a laggard. When we first came to government in 2007, about 7,500 roof tops across Australia had solar panels on them. When we left office it was over a million. We tripled wind energy production when we were in government. We tripled employment in the renewable sector. We were in the top four countries for renewable energy and now we are not even in the top 10. We have enormous natural advantages in this country, as Bill has said, we're the sunniest continent on earth, we have all sorts of natural advantages but one of those natural advantages is our smart young people and this very institution. We need to capitalise on that through government poli cies that continue to support investment in renewables. Thanks.
SHORTEN: Are there any questions?
JOURNALIST: The Treasurer this morning has accused you of waging a war on growth and using tax as your bullets. How do you respond to that?
SHORTEN: Sounds like the Liberal Government is getting more desperate by the day. The truth of the matter is the Government's economic plan is unravelling the longer this election goes. Let's never forget that when Mr Turnbull came in he and Mr Morrison were keen to have a 15% GST. And then they dropped that for the time being to look at state income taxes, double taxation for every working Australian and now they have a tax giveaway which they don't want to talk about or pretend most of the money is not going to if big banks or overseas shareholders.
But what Mr Turnbull said on Sunday night is an example of how their economic plan is unravelling. He promised on Sunday night in that debate there would be no changes after the election to superannuation. Yet his right-hand man, his numbers man, Senator Sinodinos, has said in the last 24 hours that the party room could well change superannuation measures after the election. Who is telling the truth? Is it the case that the Government believes can have one economic plan before an election and another economic plan after the election? Why is it that Mr Turnbull and his team think it's possible to make one set of election promises on superannuation before an election and then say by the way we may well renegotiate what we said on superannuation after the election? If they're not telling the truth about their plans on superannuation, what else is it they're prepared to change after the election? Is it a 15% GST? Is it more cuts to hospitals and schools? Is it the revival of the state income taxes that would allow double taxation on every working Australian? Mr Turnbull needs to come clean. Who is telling the truth? What is going to change? And why are they upending superannuation arrangements which are clearly retrospective?
JOURNALIST: Given that Labor is maintaining the deficit levy for a decade does that mean Labor is forecasting deficits for the next decade?
SHORTEN: We have decided that in the current circumstances in order to make Budget repair that is fair that we need to maintain that deficit levy. Hard choices have to be made. It's one of the reasons why we will not provide a $50 billion tax spend on large business. Mr Turnbull's old bank yesterday revealed, or the day before, revealed that 60% of this tax spend would go to overseas shareholders. The Australia Institute has demonstrated that $7.4 billion of Mr Turnbull's Budget spend is going to go to ANZ, Westpac, NAB and Commonwealth Bank. Australians are rightly questioning the Government's priorities. Now we see the Government saying we might change superannuation, we don't know if it's retrospective, to be fair to Julie Bishop she doesn't even know what the policy is, at least she is being honest about it, because clearly Mr Turnbull said on Sunday night no changes to superannu ation. Now we see a whole raft of backbench revolt, Senator Sinodinos sent out with a fire hose to calm down the angry troops, and he says well, we will renegotiate it afterwards in the party room.
Australian superannuation should not be a political football between different factions of the Liberal Party. Mr Turnbull should get the message. Please, Mr Turnbull, do not upend superannuation arrangements. People don't want surprises in superannuation. And, furthermore, if they make these changes in superannuation under pressure from their backbench after an election which we are not guaranteed of, what other cuts will they have to implement to make up for the hole in their expenditure which they do by reversing superannuation change. And now we have the spectacle of the Treasurer throwing around his usual sort of angry comments about the Opposition. Today we are here talking about climate change. You can't have an economic plan for Australia if you don't have a plan for climate change. If you don't have a plan for renewable energy and the jobs that go with it.
JOURNALIST: Have you costed the policy you are announcing today and what is it?
SHORTEN: In terms of our commitment, in terms of Commonwealth electricity use in the next number of years to 2030, it was the Government's own report by Dick Warburton which said that renewable energy forces downward pressure on prices. Also, when you have a look at the remarkable technology we see behind us, the people we have just had the privilege to meet , they're great Australians and they're modest Australians. They're winning world records for improving the utility and the efficiency, the conversion of sunlight into energy, so there will be no net cost in terms of what we're proposing.
But what I do know is that a Labor Government will create certainty in renewable energy and investment in markets so we won't have the up and down craziness of the last three years under this climate sceptic Government. I know that if you want an economic plan you have to have a plan for climate change. I also know that I lead my party and we are in lock step on taking real action on climate change. Mr Turnbull doesn't lead his party on climate change, his party leads him.
JOURNALIST: With all that money raised from the deficit levy, will it all go back towards bringing the Budget back to surplus or could it go to some of your election promises?
SHORTEN: We have made it clear that we have several priorities of equal importance. We have rigid Budget discipline and we intend to make sure we reduce debt over the next 10 years. That is an absolute priority of a Labor administration if we get elected after July 2. But what we will also do is we will drive real jobs, genuine growth through our prioritisation of education, properly funding our schools, properly funding TAFE and universities. We will also make sure that we drive real jobs and sustainable growth through nation building infrastructure, public transport as well as roads. We will make sure that our NBN is operating and the promises that are being made get kept. But we will do all of this by prioritising people first. We will be investing in industry through advanced manufacturing, through the prioritisation of renewable energy and also the sort of announcements, the real practical announcements we made up in Cairns about tourism infrastructure generating a vibrant tourism sector.
JOURNALIST: Bringing it back to Jane's original question, she did ask you if you are planning to keep the deficit levy in place for a decade, are you indeed forecasting deficits for that decade?
SHORTEN: What we will do is, closer to the election, as we promised on previous occasions, we will outline our 4-year and 10-year forecasts. We will also be governed by the principle of making sure that our saves and improvements to the Budget outweigh our spends and we will talk about this as we finish outlining all of our policies in good time before the election.
JOURNALIST: Can you tell us how your superannuation policy differs from the Liberals and is there any part of theirs that you would be willing to back or indeed block in the Senate should you not get elected?
SHORTEN: Thank you. As we have seen on a lot of economic policies in the last 12 months, Labor has been leading and the Liberals have been following. But they can't even follow us properly. They seem to - this whole debate of how they're implementing their changes is just becoming messier and messier as days go on. In terms of our policies we outlined last year, we led. We said if you earn more than $250,000, that the money you have paid into your superannuation would be taxed at 30 cents rather than 15. Currently you don't get to that 30 cents tax rate until you are at $300,000. So we brought that down by $50,000. We also said in a retirement phase if you had earnings, interest, from your superannuation lump sum which was delivering you more than $75,000 a year, that you would pay a 15% rate on the earnings above $75,000. And we said this because we knew that Howard and Costello were too generous b ack in the 06-07 Budget because prior to then there had been a limit, that superannuation was never intended to be a tool where people would minimise all their taxation. But we knew that Howard and Costello had gone too far. So we said prospectively we need to make sure we rein that in and we put some markers down.
To be fair the business community knew what we were doing and they said all right, we can see it and we understand you have to make decisions which benefit the national interest, not just some people. But when Mr Turnbull blindsided, side-swiped Australia on Budget night is they hadn't consulted on superannuation changes. They junked Tony Abbott's commitment not to touch superannuation at all. And then what they've done is they've introduced a couple of measures, one in particular, is sending our tax accountants around Australia pulling out their hair. What they have said is that you have to go back to 2007 and calculate if you've paid in more than a certain amount in non-concessional payments to superannuation and now they're asking people to record what that was, and then they will have to make adjustments because the favourable tax treatment which they were previously receiving under existin g laws Mr Turnbull wants to change. Now, Mr Turnbull wasn't straight on Sunday night when he said the changes aren't retrospective. Everyone from the conservative think tank, the IPA, right through to the CPA, the peak body representing accountants say these changes are retrospective. Mr Turnbull has to explain how it will work.
I will finish on this answer, on a point which Mr Turnbull needs to explain. Australians aren't required to keep their tax records for longer than five years. Nor are superannuation funds as a general rule. For Mr Turnbull's changes people have to go back and calculate what they've done over nine years. The tax office is getting flooded, these people don't know the superannuation system. And clearly Senator Sinodinos is picking up the jungle drums of angry Conservatives and now he's saying they may change the policies. The truth of is matter is that this Government is saying one thing before an election, they are already flagging the will do something after an election, and if you can't trust them on superannuation, what can we trust them on in any aspect of their economic plan to keep their promises.
JOURNALIST: There have been calls for an investigation into exactly what was going on with Joe Hockey's cabcharges and the alleged cover up, would you back those calls?
SHORTEN: It's up to Mr Hockey to explain what he's done.
JOURNALIST: Can you clarify on the policy today, you say it's been costed, the net cost is exactly zero and is that over forward estimates as well?
SHORTEN: The Commonwealth is going to be buying electricity up to 2030, we are proposing to have our purchasing arrangements which we'll prioritise up until 2030, getting to 50 per cent of our energy consumption from renewable energy. It's called leadership.
JOURNALIST: The Reserve Bank will be meeting next week. Do you think they should raise or lower interest rates?
SHORTEN: It's up to the Reserve Bank what they do.
JOURNALIST: If you're willing to defer to their judgement there, why are you willing to pre-empt the decision of the Fair Work Commission on penalty rates when yesterday you said they will not [inaudible] Saturday penalty rates?
SHORTEN: No, I'm not pre-empting the decision. In fact, I'm entirely consistent. When you've got strong independent institutions you've got to respect that. But what I have made clear, based upon 25 years of standing up for workers' conditions, is that the evidence in this case for the reduction of penalty rates simply hasn't been made. We've got flatlining wages growth in this country. We've got mounting inequality in this country, living standards are falling. Labor put in when it was last in government a prioritisation, a sort of legislative parameter for the Fair Work Commission to consider the importance of recompensing people for unsociable hours. My basis, based on 25 years of experience, and the evidence in this case. They will make their decision but I have a very clear picture about what's happening in Australian workplaces to Australian workers.
JOURNALIST: Doesn't the [inaudible] that the Fair Work Commission won't cut Sunday penalty rates compromise the very independence of the Commission, because you are of course a potential Prime Minister here.
SHORTEN: I've in fact put in a submission opposing the reduction of penalty rates, I'm entitled to my opinion and that's the difference between me and Mr Turnbull. My opinion is to stand up for penalty rates, my opinion is to stand up for a strong safety net of Australian working conditions. The Liberals haven't had anything to say about the most recent minimum wage decision. I think it was the right decision and all considerations, $17.70 for an adult working in Australia. So my views are based upon my values, the support of my party, based upon what I think are the real lived experiences of millions of Australians who depend on the minimum wage and upon penalty rates.
JOURNALIST: How can you say there'll be no net cost on the policy today, we don't know what renewables is going to cost in 10 years?
SHORTEN: Well, I would just submit to you history and evidence. Back in 2000 barely 100 suburban rooftops had solar panels now there's 1.5 million. If you look at every examination at the startling and significant improvements in the scale and the cost of renewable energy, again I'm giving a shout out to the professors and researchers here, they are now getting 35 per cent efficiency in terms of conversion of sunlight to energy. They're not stopping at 35 per cent or 34.7 per cent. These guys and girls are going to deliver remarkable outcomes. I'm very confident when you watch the impact, the combination of our natural resources, sunlight, great researchers, and a Labor Government, all the trendline is down in terms of the cost.
JOURNALIST: So has it been costed then?
SHORTEN: In terms of what I said, everything. Warburton did a review which showed that renewable energy has a downward pressure in terms of household prices –
JOURNALIST: But some of –
SHORTEN: I just want to keep unpacking this, Tommy, I'm going to keep unpacking it and then you can sort of give me your opinion. Yesterday, we were up in Brisbane. You saw those lithium batteries, the technology is practically changing in front of our eyes and we saw the range of new technologies. I have no doubt if you look at the tipping point about investment and renewable energy I could submit to you another number which shouldn't be ignored in this debate about real action on climate change. Two million jobs have been added around the world in renewable energy jobs. One country has managed to lose nearly 3000 jobs. That's Australia. Now Australians, we've got the best in the world research here and yet we're coming towards the bottom of the world in terms of jobs, the missing link between converting our natural advantages, our scientific genius, the hard work of a lot of people, the desire by Australian families to have lower h ousehold electricity prices is a government who is going to take real action on climate change. I might take one more question.
JOURNALIST: [inaudible], and secondly will you have to amend Commonwealth procurement guidelines which state that you have to achieve [inaudible] in government contracts. Given that renewables do have a higher cost at this stage than conventional energy –
SHORTEN: Andrew, let's not twist anything here. I'm not saying that on July 3 we would move to 50 per cent, so let's not twist anything there. But let's be straight, the Victorian Government has already moved to a goal of 50 per cent. A lot of the Commonwealth services are in the ACT, they're already sourcing renewable energy. I have no doubt that when a government leads to create market certainty, regulatory certainty, I've got no doubt that if we keep talking about the success stories in which we see here, I've got no doubt that if we take real action on climate change what we're seeing is that Australia won't be left behind for the renewable energy investment wave which is surfing right through Asia and the Pacific.
Let me repeat another number if the jobs number isn't compelling enough for you. If the success of the University of New South Wales is not compelling enough for you, the technological [inaudible]. There's $2.5 trillion up for grabs in investment in the future and renewable energy. I don't want Australia to miss out on that investment. Do you know in the future we won't be arguing whether or not renewable energy is a good thing. The households of Australia are leading the public debate, a million and a half solar panel installations on Australian roofs. My concern is that if the government keeps dragging the chain, if we give this climate sceptics and the Liberals another chance to be as inactive and as confusing and as contradictory as the last three years, Australia will slip further behind. But Labor has got good policies, they're practical policies, they're well thought through and I believe they'll help p osition Australia for more jobs and real action on climate change. Thank you.ENDS

It is common for college students to be frazzled when it comes time to take tests. To get through the challenges, here are 10 tips that will help you prepare for exams.
- Keep an Upbeat Attitude. The brain is a funny thing. When you have a poor attitude, you may feel as though you will fail at everything. It is better to enter a classroom with a positive demeanor, especially on the test day. This will keep you in the right frame of mind. It is wise to approach a test like a puzzle. Although it may be difficult, it is possible to get through it. When you keep an upbeat perspective, you will be ready for the challenge.
- Create a Schedule. Creating a plan of study will keep stress levels low. Approximately one week before an exam, it is smart to uncover what material will be included. Many teachers take information from the textbook or class notes. Also, scheduling time to study will cut the need to cram the night before a test. This will keep you feeling better prepared.
- Eat Breakfast. On the morning of a test, never skip breakfast. Keeping your stomach full will help you concentrate. Nothing is more distracting than a growling belly. While you eat, you can take a few minutes to review your notes.
- Understand the Directions. Before beginning the test, it is essential to review and comprehend the instructions. Also, it is wise to ask how the test will be scored. Sometimes, it is better to make educated guesses than to leave questions blank.
- Manage Time Appropriately. As soon as you receive your paper, you should scan the pages quickly. Begin answering the easy questions first and budget enough time for harder material.
- Remain Calm. If you hit a question that is extremely challenging, it is important to remain calm, circle the number, and move on to something else. At the end, you can return to it and try you best to give the correct answer.
- Multiple Choice Options. With multiple-choice questions, you can use reasoning to uncover the best answer. Eliminating one or two answers that you know are incorrect limits the other possibilities. Many times, there is at least one choice that can be crossed off right from the beginning.
- Write Neatly. When you must answer an essay question, it is wise to write as neatly as possible. If a professor cannot read your handwriting, it will definitely lower your grade. Also, when you are taking a math test, it is vital to carefully write your numbers in a legible manner. If you make a mistake, erase the entire answer as well. For tests that will be graded by a machine, you must make sure to fill in the circles completely.
- Check Your Work. When a test seems easy, you may be done early and will be tempted to hand in your paper. However, if time permits, you should always check your work. Sometimes, you may know the right answer, but you will find that you placed it on the wrong line. Also, you may find a question that you accidentally skipped.
The above tips are smart pieces of advice for college students who want to successfully master the art of test-taking. Since they are not difficult to follow, you will be able to easily take the stress out of the exam day and will achieve a good grade.

Manufacturing employment takes another hitPosted by Gino DiCaro, VP, Communications on Sept. 27, 2012
One week after the California Labor Market Information Department reported the August employment numbers with only a slight increase in manufacturing jobs, Campbell Soup announced that it would close its Sacramento facility and shutter 700 high wage, union manufacturing jobs.
According to reports, "Campbell's is closing its oldest and most expensive manufacturing plant in the U.S. in an effort to cut down on production costs as soup sales continue to decline."
CMTA's valued long-time member provides us with a valuable lesson on the business climate. It's not perception. It's hard costs and markets. California can help fix the former, but not the latter. But it must get to work before its too late for scores of other manufacturers.
California continues to lag behind the country in manufacturing employment growth over the last two years, as seen in the chart below. The numbers show the rest of the country is winning out on manufacturing growth, with 4.5 percent growth, while California remains stagnant.

Topics Covered:
- Color Bit Depth
- Middle Grey
- Whiteness and White Balance
Colors, like features, follow the changes of the emotions – Pablo Picasso
We have already seen that the color space of the eye, as defined by the CIE 1931 XYZ color space, estimates about 10 million colors for our vision. The word size required to represent 10 million colors is 24-bits. If each color is divided into its RGB components, the color bit depth required per channel is 24/3 = 8-bits.
The industry standard for color bit-depth for consumer electronics is 8-bits per channel. Professional monitors are designed to 'see' and 'show' 10-bit images. Why do we need 10-bit, 16-bit or 32-bit images?
The color space of consumer displays is limited to a standard called sRGB (similar to Rec. 709 for HDTV).
Even though a display can show 10 million colors in 8-bit mode under the sRGB color space, it still misses out on many colors within the CIE 1931 XYZ gamut. For this reason a higher bit depth (10-bit, 16-bit, etc) is chosen to allow for more colors under wide gamut color spaces. A wide gamut color space is a bigger balloon than sRGB, and one hopes to 'reign in' more colors that way – by casting a wider net, so to speak.
In either case, comparing why a display or television panel needs more bits to how many bits per channel the eye really needs, is a waste of time.
Therefore, as long as the color space is CIE 1931 XYZ, the color bit depth per channel per pixel for the human eye is 8-bits.
Middle Grey
Middle grey is a tone that is perceptually about half way between black and white on a lightness scale. On a linear scale, it is supposed to be exactly on the 50% mark. In practice, though, this might not always be the case. E.g., the middle grey of the sRGB color space is at 46.6%.
To get the middle grey value use this formula
Middle Grey % = 100 / Maximum Dynamic Range
Traditionally, middle grey is represented on the log scale. In the olden days, film stock had only about 5.5 stops of dynamic range, and for this reason middle grey fell on 18% from the white level. 18% grey cards are still used today, even though modern image sensors have at least 8 stops of dynamic range. This is why modern camera meters normally choose 12% as middle-grey.
Today, there are cameras quite capable of 13+ stops of dynamic range, and even 12% middle grey needn't be accurate.
The eye has a dynamic range of 10 stops, for which the middle grey will fall at about 10%. If we assumed 20 stops, the middle grey will fall at about 5%. If we assume 30 stops, the middle grey is about 3.3%.
How white is white? Is there such a thing as perfect white?
Not really. In order to measure white a theoretical light source is needed. According to CIE, this source is D65, also called a standard illuminant, which is intended to represent average daylight and has a correlated colour temperature of approximately 6500 K.
Usually, in the video and film world daylight is said to be about 5600K, which roughly corresponds to D55. According to CIE D55 represents morning and afternoon daylight – not high noon. But since most productions shoot in morning or afternoon light, and not at high noon, 5600K is a great standard to follow. However, human perception of white is based on high noon.
The sRGB color space also uses D65 as its white point. We can safely assume the eye's white point is between 6000K and 6500K.
White Balance
The eye is balanced to the sun's color temperature, and when colored lights are used (as with red light in a photographic darkroom), the eye is unable to balance – which means change – its white point to keep a white object white. We perceive a white object to still be white, mostly based on our experience of the object, but it will not appear white. An important example of this fact is the different color temperatures of paper used in printing or painting art. Slight variations in the white point of the paper can change the perception of the colors being printed.
In the video world, indoor lighting is frequently artificial, or at least from various sources with different color temperatures. If sources all have a similar color temperature (like incandescent bulbs for example), the white balance point can be shifted accordingly and the scene will be recorded as if daylight balanced lights were used. When lights of different color temperatures are used together, the white balance becomes a matter of subjective creativity.
The process of shifting the white point in camera is called white balancing.
- The color bit depth required by the eye is only 8-bits per channel.
- The eye has a middle grey point of roughly 10%, corresponding to a 20-stop dynamic range.
- The standard white point for sRGB and HDTV is D65, which corresponds to 6500K.
- The process of shifting the white point in camera is called white balancing.

FINANCIAL DISTRICT — A proposed methadone clinic has dropped its plan to move to the Financial District after facing strong opposition from the community, its owner said Friday.
"It's in everyone's best interests if we look elsewhere," said Ronald J. Vlasaty, chief operating officer of Gramercy Park Services, the clinic's owner.
The community opposition — including a petition with hundreds of signatures and a unanimous vote against the project at Community Board 1's Financial District Committee Wednesday night — was not the only reason Gramercy Park Services scrapped the plan, but "that certainly had a lot to do with it," Vlasaty said.
"The community is entitled to their concern, and we listened to them," Vlasaty said. "We tried to explain the services we would offer. That's all we could do — present our information to them."
Ro Sheffe, chairman of CB1's Financial District Committee, was glad to hear of Vlasaty's decision.
"It's just not the right place, not the right time, for something like this, in what is now a residential community," Sheffe said.
The proposed clinic at 90 Maiden Lane had already received preliminary approval from the state Office of Alcoholism and Substance Abuse Services, but after listening to community feedback, the state asked Gramercy Park Services not to move forward, a spokeswoman said.
"We heard the concerns expressed by the community regarding the proposed move by Gramercy Park to 90 Maiden Lane," the agency said in a statement, first reported by the Tribeca Trib.
"We have requested that Gramercy Park withdraw their application for this move, and Gramercy has agreed to comply with OASAS's request."
Vlasaty, however, said he made the decision to scrap the move independently.
"I have not heard that," Vlasaty said of the state's withdrawal of support. "This decision came from us."
Gramercy Park Services has operated a methadone clinic at 253 Third Ave. for more than 40 years but has to move because the building is not handicap-accessible.
The clinic has had trouble finding a new location because its landlords are reluctant to sign leases and residents often express concerns about a rise in drug-related crime.
Raymond Sanchez, the manager of the Third Avenue facility, said he was frustrated that the clinic is having so much trouble finding a new home.
"Nobody wants it in their neighborhood," Sanchez said. "They know the need is there, but [they say], 'I don't want it in my neighborhood.'"

The 2016 Division 36 Conference on Psychology, Religion and Spirituality.
Brooklyn has long been a destination for artists and thinkers. Its rich history and culture attract musicians and poets, and — most recently — 200 psychologists from around the world.
On March 11-12, SJC Brooklyn played host to the 2016 Division 36 Mid-year Conference on Psychology, Religion and Spirituality. The two-day event featured workshops, paper and poster presentations, and guest speakers from renowned institutions. Visitors arrived from 26 states, as well as international guests from Taiwan, Canada (Ontario and Quebec), Georgia, India, Belgium and Germany.
"Our main goals are to provide a way for people in the organization to get together and exchange ideas," said Michael Nielsen, Ph.D., president of Division 36 and psychology department chair at Georgia Southern University, who delivered the conference's opening words to a crowd in The Hill Center. "It's a fascinating area. Psychology has many different perspectives, and we're very fortunate to have people come not just from North America, but from across the world."
Depending on an attendant's preferences, he/she could learn more about The Relationship Between Interpersonal Religious/Spiritual Struggles and Nonbelievers' Psychological Well-Being; The Intersection of Meaning, Positive Emotions, and Spirituality; Sufism, the Science of the Soul or numerous topics over the course of the two days.
Symposia sprinkled across classrooms on the fourth floor of McEntegart Hall, where SJC faculty such as Peter Lin, Ph.D.; Kathyrn Frost, Ph.D.; Thomas Petriano, Ph.D.; and Paul Ginnetty Ph.D. presented their own work.
Peter Lin, Ph.D., SJC psychology professor; and Henry Seiden, Ph.D., ABPP, clinical psychologist, presented When Freud Meets Buddha: The Algorithms of Chan (the Chinese term for Zen) Practice and Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy.
Kristina Schrepf '17 and SJC psychology professor Kathryn Frost, Ph.D., presented Re-envisioning Haidt's Ontological Presuppositions and Moral Matrix.
Thomas Petriano, Ph.D., SJC religious studies professor and chair; and Paul Ginnetty, Ph.D., SJC psychology professor, presented The Notions of Holding and Accompaniment in Lars and The real Girl: An Interdisciplinary Perspective.
The event also featured two keynote speakers: Paul Bloom, Ph.D., Brooks and Suzanne Ragen Professor of Psychology and Cognitive Science, Yale University, presented "There is Nothing Special About Religious Belief" while Sheldon Solomon, Ph.D., psychology professor at Skidmore College, presented "The Worm at the Core: On the Role of Death in Life."
Many psychology undergraduate and graduate students rubbed elbows with esteemed academics and practitioners. Taking full advantage of the conference's many opportunities were SJC's Ryan Cleary '18, Amanda Butera '16 and Bryanna White '17. The three presented their poster along with Dominique Treboux, Ph.D., SJC psychology professor and chair, titled Loving vs. Punitive Gods: Compassion Towards Migrants.
(L-R) Bryanna White '17, Amanda Butera '16 and Ryan Cleary '18 with their poster presentation, Loving vs. Punitive Gods: Compassion Towards Migrants.
Well-attended and highly educational for all involved, the Division 36 was a fantastic opportunity — not only to showcase the wonderful work produced by some of psychology's brightest and best, but the talents and success of our St. Joseph's College's own faculty and students.

In this fascinating book, Terry O'Connor explores a distinction that is deeply ingrained in much of the language that we use in zoology, human-animal studies, and archaeology—the difference between wild and domestic. For thousands of years, humans have categorized animals in simple terms, often according to the degree of control that we have over them, and have tended to see the long story of human-animal relations as one of increasing control and management for human benefit. And yet, around the world, species have adapted to our homes, our towns, and our artificial landscapes, finding ways to gain benefit from our activities and so becoming an important part of our everyday lives. These commensal animals remind us that other species are not passive elements in the world around us but intelligent and adaptable creatures. Animals as Neighbors shows how a blend of adaptation and opportunism has enabled many species to benefit from our often destructive footprint on the world. O'Connor investigates the history of this relationship, working back through archaeological records. By requiring us to take a multifaceted view of human-animal relations, commensal animals encourage a more nuanced understanding of those relations, both today and throughout the prehistory of our species.
"A fascinating evolutionary and social history of our relationship with a wide range of commensal mammal and bird species, raising the question of what it really means to be a 'wild animal.' This important interdisciplinary study will be of great interest and relevance to both archaeologists and biologists."
—Samuel Turvey, Senior Research Fellow, Zoological Society of London
"In this engaging volume, O'Connor synthesizes information from many disciplines to elaborate upon commensalism and the commensal animals that share space with us by choice or necessity, with or without our knowledge and consent. Occupying a gap between wild and domestic, commensal organisms were scorned and ignored in the past and by ecologists and environmental archaeologists today. Yet, as O'Connor ably points out, the archaeological record clearly shows that these relationships are important in the life history of our species as well as in present-day ethnozoological landscapes and ecosystems. This delightful volume reminds us not to overlook the close associations between our animal neighbors and ourselves."
—Elizabeth J. Reitz, Professor of Anthropology at the University of Georgia

Some supplement manufacturers offer a product that combines bromelain, magnesium and potassium. The manufacturers claim that the combination can help with relaxation, circulation, cardiovascular health, calcium absorption and muscle and nerve function. While there isn't necessarily evidence to support these claims, all three substances are bioactive and do affect your health.
Pineapples, which traditional healers in Central and South America have been using for centuries to treat indigestion and inflammation, contain protein-digesting, or proteolytic, enzymes collectively called bromelain. Although research into bromelain's medicinal qualities is in its infancy, and up to this point the evidence has often been contradictory, bromelain may reduce swelling, pain, bruising and recovery time following an injury or surgery, help remove dead tissue after second- and third-degree burns, reduce inflammation associated with insect bites and stings, treat sinusitis and hay fever symptoms, relieve osteoarthritis pain when taken with rutosid and trypsin, and relieve stomach upset or heartburn, especially when used in conjunction with enzymes that metabolize starches and fats, according to the University of Maryland Medical Center 12. The bromelain found in pineapples is not concentrated enough for medical use. Dosage depends on the condition that is being treated. Bromelain can interact with antibiotics, blood-thinners and sedatives.
Magnesium plays vital roles in muscle, nerve and immune function. It promotes a healthy heart rhythm, helps keep bones strong, aids in regulating blood sugar, promotes normal blood pressure, and is involved in protein synthesis. Although clinical magnesium deficiency is unusual in the United States, U.S. dietary intake of magnesium may not be high enough to maintain optimum blood magnesium levels, according to the National Institutes of Health Office of Dietary Supplements. Healthy blood magnesium levels may help prevent cardiovascular disease and immune dysfunction. The daily recommended dietary allowance, or RDA, of magnesium is 80 mg for children ages 1 to 3, 130 mg for children ages 4 to 8, 240 mg for children ages 9 to 13, 360 mg for females ages 14 to 18, 410 mg for males ages 14 to 18, 310 mg for females ages 19 to 30, 400 mg for males ages 19 to 30, 320 mg for females over age 30 and 420 mg for males over age 30. Rich dietary sources of magnesium include halibut, nuts, beans and spinach.
Potassium is an electrolytic mineral, or a mineral that helps conduct electricity through the body, and is essential to healthy heart function and skeletal and smooth muscle contraction. There is some evidence that a diet rich in potassium promotes bone health, according to the University of Maryland Medical Center 12. Low blood potassium levels may also be linked to high blood pressure, but evidence as to whether potassium supplementation can help lower blood pressure is contradictory. High dietary potassium consumption is associated with a lower stroke risk, but potassium supplements do not seem to have the same effect. The Institute of Medicine recommends adults consume 4,700 milligrams of potassium a day. Bananas, citrus juices, avocados, cantaloupes, tomatoes, potatoes, lima beans, flounder, salmon, cod and chicken all contain significant amounts of potassium.

For those who want to reap maximum benefits from their cardiovascular activity, it is vital for them to exercise in the zone of their target heart rate (THR), which is usually 60-85% of their maximum heart rate. Here are five tips on how to use a heart rate monitor during workouts.
Tips on how to use a heart rate monitor during workouts
1. Find a maximum heart rate
This enables one to set training zones that allow him or her to train properly in particular heart rate zones.
2. Don`t go by the `rule of thumb` maximum heart rate calculation
This is not only irrelevant but inaccurate also. Maximum heart rate is solely individual. Therefore, it should be calculated during extreme individual efforts. The most favorite method is calculating the max heart rate during hard uphill races. Uphill workouts allow an individual to find his or her potential more speedily compared to flat terrain. Interval lessons like 5×1 minute uphill exercises (runs) with short recovery times will really push one's heart to the maximum.
3. Re-test the heart rate regularly
Every month or even after every two months, an individual should re-test his or her potential heart rate as it can change. Lack of fitness, fitness, fatigue and diet can transform a person`s maximum heart rate.
4. If you are using a heart rate monitor during races, you should avoid placing you low & high heart rate areas closer together
For instance, if a person sets his or her low zone at 140 as well as his or her high at 145, he or she will realize that it is hard to stay in his or her zone because the parameters are just five beats every minute in difference. Also, this will force an individual to begin very fast causing an individual body to produce lactic acid earlier. During race efforts, it is important to set the low & high heart rates around 15 BPM apart. And during a workout, it can be better for one to have more of his or her buffer to make sure that he or she is rested throughout the building phase.
The above are just tips on how to use a heart rate monitor during workouts. Others include using heart rate zones in order to avoid cases of over training and checking the recovery progress among many others.

HILYSENS Final Meeting took place in Brussels
HILYSENS Project extended for 4 months
One tick bite can cause many diseases. Lyme Disease is the most prevalent tick-borne infection in Europe and North America. Patients with acute Lyme disease need prompt diagnosis to prevent the development of chronic infections. Current commercial laboratory methods fail to detect a huge amount of cases. As consequence, patients receive delayed or inadequate treatment, leading to more serious symptoms which can be disabling.
HILYSENS will be the first lab-on-a-chip tool allowing specific and sensitive detection of acute, chronic and autoimmunity associated Lyme Disease and ensuring non-invasive, fast, specific and easy diagnosing, prognosis and monitoring. Optimisation of resources, reduction of the associated costs and an increase in the quality of care are some of the potential impacts of HILYSENS .
HILYSENS is a 2 year R+D project funded by the European Commission's Seventh Framework Programme (FP7) under Research for the Benefit of the SMEs. The project officially started on November 1st 2010. The Kick-off Meeting was held in Barcelona on November 8th and was hosted by AROMICS at the PCB.

Create multiple looks on the same image in seconds
"We're not sure exactly what we want. We were thinking maybe black & white or super saturated colour. Can we see a few different examples?".
Have you ever heard these words from a client on (or after) a shoot? I have, more times then I can remember. I usually reply with a very relaxed 'sure' we can supply low res images in a variety of colour treatments.
How can we be so relaxed when the client is asking for what appears to be much more work? (They don't like to pay for this stuff usually).
The answer lies in 'VARIANTS'. This is Captures Ones magic sauce that makes multiple looks on the same image easier then cooking pot noodles. Just being able to see 2-3 examples of the same image side by side with different treatments is a very powerful production tool.
Check out this little tutorial below to see how you too can easily master Variants.

Nice clear edit. Thanx!
Great tutorial keep making them. Thanks
Hello Adrian,
thanks for sharing. I didn't know you could make variants on cropping…
How did you Clone Variant in four fold, in one click ? Approx. 6:33 in the video…
Hi Adrian
Nice to read that, thank You!
Is there also some kind of a workflow, if You develop a raw according to that variant, make some changes in a new variant, which You develop again and so on. It would be nice to know than, which developed raw belongs to which variant.
Do You know something in that direction?
best regards
Hello Adrian,
I like using variants and cannot picture working without it. But I have come across a roadblock in terms of workflow.
I am trying to achieve the following:
eg. I have 500 images which I have edited a certain way and I would like to do a BW version of them by applying the BW filter and I want them colour tagged to differentiate them from the original edits.
Is there a way to clone all 500 variants and colour tag those variants as a batch and then from there add my BW filter to them or whichever process I wish to them?
Currently I have to select each individual image and clone it, then apply the BW filter and then apply the colour tag of choice.
This I find to be time consuming and it would be great if I could put on a filter to view only variants 2 or variant 3 or maybe view all variants.

Hi Laura
to make a trip around the world you need 6 strips for one block, a jelly roll strip should measure 41 inches in length - if you use 6 jelly roll strips sewn together that will give you two blocks. Depends on the size of the finished quilt how many blocks you will need.

"I just don't have the time" is perhaps the most common excuse for not exercising regularly, especially among the 25-and-older crowd, who are generally immersed in such time- (and energy-) sapping pursuits such as a career, raising children, etc.
While it's true that committing to exercise requires just that – a time commitment – no one said how much time. Enter the 5-minute workout, a great way to rev up your cardiovascular system and get the blood flowing to muscles you may not have used in far too long (due to the aforementioned "not enough time" excuse). Do each of the following five exercises for 45 seconds apiece, with 15 seconds to transition from one exercise to the next (and 15 seconds at the end to cool down). Five minutes later, you'll be done – and feel great for it. Oh, and did we mention you can do all five exercises in the comfort of your own home (or office, for that matter)? Here goes:
At Chipley Chiropractic we want you to stay healthy and these are some great and simple exercises that you can do in a pinch and you don't need to spend any money on fancy equipment. If you are unsure about these exercises or you are experiencing pain, then see your doctor first or give us a call and we will be happy to evaluate you and help relieve any pain while designing some specific exercises for you. We are open Monday thru Friday from 9am to 6pm. Call us anytime at 304-252-0200. We can usually get you in the same or next day. We do accept insurance but many of our patients just pay as they go.
