The Owner Says
With views over the valley and surrounds, the Plein Airs are situated on the periphery of the site away from the main reception, bar, pool and playground. It's about a 20 second walk to the facilities, close enough to be handy but far enough to feel as if you are out of the main zone.
The Plein Airs are nestled together and orientated southward in the direction of the valley. Set perpendicular to the small internal ring-road, they are privately situated with views to the east from a terrace, grassed garden area and parking adjacent.
Glamping has never been easier! Just turn up and unpack. No need to share facilities as each chalet has its own bathroom, toilet and kitchen.

Features & FacilitiesThis is a friendly, but restful place, so be prepared to while away a few hours with a glass of red wine. The café-bar houses a good selection of holiday reads and sells a selection of basic supplies such as milk. There's a brand-new shower/wash-block with baby-changing facilities and toilets for disabled campers. Apart from the playground and swimming pools there's also a tennis court. If the unthinkable happens and it rains, the yoga barn morphs into a kids' area with board games, drawing materials and plenty more things to keep everyone busy. A communal freezer is available free of charge for ice packs. Charcoal and gas barbecues are permitted on the pitches. Free Wi-Fi across the campsite.

Food & DrinkThe Cosy Nook Café turns out a bevy of barista style coffees, organic teas and alcoholic drinks. A range of great value wine is on offer thanks to a good relationship with local producers. In the evening food is served by local food trucks who set up on the terrace and offer a variety of local and world food. Nearby Sarlat-la-Canéda takes its cuisine very seriously and its winding streets are full of restaurants and bistros. For something different, Chez le Gaulois (05 53 59 50 64), tucked away in the centre of the old town, serves rustic platters of cheeses and charcuterie, boiled potatoes, salads and melted raclette. Service is great and the atmosphere superb. It's small and popular so booking is advisable. There's also Delpeyrat (05 53 28 10 43) in Carsac – a traditional French dining room, producing homemade delights, a great favourite with the locals. In true style meals can go on for some time, so it's not perhaps the best for restless children. Out of town, try the Pech-de-Malet (05 53 28 14 82) in Vitrac, a family owned restaurant with fab terrace and views across the valley – ideal for kids. Finally, a two-minute drive from the campsite, L'Escale (05 53 59 22 18), in Sainte Nathalène, has a nice terrace and a family-friendly menu including, pizzas, steak frites and ice creams.
Getting There
Take exit 55 from the A20 and follow the signs for the D703 (direction Sarlat). Turn right on to the D61 (direction Carlux). In the village of Carlux take the D47B towards Sainte Nathalène; turn left onto the D47 and go through the village of St Nathalène until you reach the only bar in the village. With the bar on your right, take the first road on the right (you will see an old petrol station/garage and agricultural materials) and follow it up the hill where you will pick up signs to the diminutive hamlet of Les Mathevies.
The nearest airport is at Brive-la-Gaillard, some 30km from St Nathalene. Bergerac Airport is the next closest, about 70km to the west. Bordeaux (200km) is a large international and regional airport served by many airlines. Toulouse (200km) is another large international airport served by many airlines and is equidistant to Bordeaux. By air you will almost certainly need a car or pick-up on arrival.


text: TheGulls Posted February 6, 2011 Sorry, the wink was missed, and I ought not have wrote what I wrote anyway. My apologies back at you.To the history of the sport, it started as a blend of Rugby and Association football in the mid 1800s. The balls originally were mostly round, so kicking was much more easily done. In the late 1800s, some of the more modern rules were adopted including changing the shape of the ball to make carrying it easier, but that of course made the kicking less useful. SCIAG- the strategy is different of course, but my god it can be detailed like you wouldn't believe. In comparison, I believe a footie manager or head coach does far less actual "managing" over the course of the game. For example, playing high school football, we had a play book about as thick as War and Peace. Every player's role and instructions are dictated at a micro level, and most often, the coach reads the other team and sends in his plays based on the formations he sees, player positions, and other cues. The strategy is different in that because the plays have definite starts and stops you don't get the flow and shape like in footie. But there is a lot of the same things going on: "that cornerback looks weak, lets run at him," that sort of deal. The tempo in each play is pretty much the same, so it's style that gets managed- running up the middle vs. short passing game vs. wide runs vs. long passes etc. At least that is my poor attempt at trying to make a comparison. I don't watch or play anymore, so this is old school 1980s stuff I am talking about, but I don't think it's changed at the core much in 25 years. Seeing as History is my chosen career path (although not sport) it is nice to learn something new sometimes, so for that I thank you. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We rebelled from the Source of Life bringing the curse of death upon ourselves. Ever since that first rebellion God has been working to restore life to mankind. He chose Israel to carry His truth to all nations. He gave them laws for guidance, and worship practices to instruct them in His nature. He sent prophets, priests, and kings to show the way of life. Finally, He entered human life Himself to make atonement for sins and conquer death. Jesus said, "I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full."(John 10:10) God is about life, the best life mankind can have. That is why He has given He Holy Word to guide us into the path of life. Life is not found just in any old way that makes us happy, but in the path God established to bring us back to a full life in Him.

The Cowboys, the same team that pays and applauds Greg Hardy, who allegedly left frightening marks on his ex-girlfriend, just could not stomach disheveled players.
Dallas was forced to cut ties (so to speak) with running back Christine Michael and cornerback Corey White this week, NFL Network suggests, because the two did not wear suits on last week's trip to Tampa (a 10-6 loss to the Bucs).
That the players are not stars is of course noteworthy, but NFL Network reported the moves may be an indication the Cowboys are finally on their last straw with Hardy, a perpetual headcase. The abrupt waives may serve as a final warning to the star defensive end, a last cautionary tale before Dallas addresses its PR nightmare.
According to NFL Network, Hardy's support — loudly trumpeted by owner Jerry Jones throughout, who went as far as to call Hardy a "leader" after he slapped the clipboard from a coach's hands — has begun to taper off with upper management, long after he had any support from the public following Deadspin releasing brutal pictures of his injured ex-girlfriend.
It seems Hardy has consistently tested what he can get away with, the latest incidents including several missed meetings. According to NFL Network, Hardy was late to a pregame meeting the day prior to the loss to the Bucs, which further rankled his relationship with Dallas brass.
Jones, coach Jason Garrett, Hardy's agent Drew Rosenhaus and Cowboys veterans have tried to intercede and talk sense into Hardy, NFL Network reported, but so far Hardy's attitude has not improved. It might take something drastic for Dallas to release the NFL player most loathed throughout the country — he may have to wear jeans or something.

Via this Blogcritics post about the nature of Weblogs and life, I read this post about why friends don't read blogs and finally stumbled upon these ridiculous "rules" of blogging. And it just chafes me.
Apparently, my site is the perfect example of what not to do. And I'm damn proud of it. Those of you whose sites are all about the news, politics, and tech, good for you, you should be so very proud – you've followed rule #2 to a tee, which is "don't blog about yourself." However, you won't find me among your stats – I have absolutely zero interest in reading your most likely misguided, slanted rants about the state of the world today, especially the world's most boring topic, politics. What I am interested in reading about is people ("who need people".) And why wouldn't anyone? I really don't get the fascination with reading more about the day's topics. Crap, man, I do this to get away from all that serious junk out there. Your fellow humans have many more interesting stories to tell than what makes the news.
Most of all, it's just annoying that someone thinks there needs to be rules, sarcastic or not, about what a blog should be "about." Who cares? If you don't like it, you move on to another site. Maybe I'm in the minority, but I know there are others out there who do actually want to read about people's lives. It may mean a smaller number of hits per day, but really, who really cares? If you're doing this for fame, you need to find a new route to fame because it ain't gonna happen here.

PATRIOTIC Front (PF) secretary-general Davies Chama says the ruling party will from now on expend its energies on delivering development to all parts of the country instead of responding to President Lungu's critics.
Mr Chama said the PF leadership has realised that politicking is taking a toll on the pace of development in the country.
He said this in Mulobezi yesterday when he addressed PF members.
"The PF has embarked on a programme of transforming the country by way of taking development to all the parts of the country.
"We want to make Zambia a better country for people to live in," Mr Chama said.
He said the culture of bickering is highly pronounced in Zambia, a trend he said is negating development.
Mr Chama said Zambia has continued to lag in development because of political bickering.
He said it is important to unite for the purpose of promoting the country's development instead of engaging in abstracts.
Mr Chama also said the PF government will not embark on projects that will have a negative bearing on the country's resources.
He said the PF is interested in implementing programmes and projects that will help uplift the living standards of all Zambians regardless of their political, religious or ethnicity affiliations.
"We want to run away from by-elections because they have proven to be a waste of resources which can even be channelled to programmes that can uplift the living standards of our people," Mr Chama said.
He urged the people of Zambia to continue supporting President Lungu's efforts of developing the country.
Meanhile, about 1,000 United Party for National Development (UPND) members in Mulobezi have defected to the PF.
Among those who defected to PF are former UPND Sichili ward co-ordinator Charles Munyamu, former Sichili ward chairman Martin Mubita and Sichili ward vice chairlady Matilda Mawanga.
Others are Sichili ward publicity secretary Gilbert Simonda, Sichili ward youth chairperson Nyowa Mundongo and chairlady Christine Sayizamba.
Mr Munyamu, who spoke on behalf of the defectors, cited poor leadership in the UPND, among the reasons he and his colleagues decided to join PF.
He said he and the rest of the group decided to join PF because of the good leadership President Lungu and his administration have exhibited.
''We are happy with what is happening under the leadership of President Lungu.
"We are seeing development coming to this area and this is what the people want from the government," Mr Munyamu said.
He appealed to people in the region to vote for President Lungu in the 2016 general elections.
And Western Province PF chairperson Charles Mututwa said people in the region are joining PF because of the massive development projects that Government is implementing.
"We are receiving a lot of development projects in Western Province and people are happy.
"The people have promised to vote for the PF and President Lungu in the 2016 general elections," Mr Mututwa said.
He urged the people in the region to continue supporting President Lungu and his administration to help foster meaningful development in the area.

New Kirkus Review of Public Offerings Book One (Birthright) – very positive
20 Jul 2014
Kirkus Reviews just released a very positive review of Public Offerings Book One: Birthright. It can be found at https://www.kirkusreviews.com/search/?q=public+offerings&t=all
"A terrific launch for the author's series, but readers may want to have the sequels handy." – Kirkus Reviews.
Feels great to see this along with the other positive reviews from readers. Hopefully, thriller readers have an appetite for thrillers about biotech conspiracies and terrorism in West Africa. The news of the Ebola virus spreading in Sierra Leone and the death of AIDS researchers in the downing of the Malaysian flight in the Ukraine – both ring too close to home re: Public Offerings.


text: Stone hunting for The Tarriance sculpture project recently took me on a 1,300 mile, Oregon road trip. The trail led across dry shrub-lands, over evergreen-spired mountain passes, and along deep river gorges. In the west, three basalt boulders were located in a riverside gravel pit. In the east, slag from an abandoned granite quarry netted the thirty pieces I'll use to construct the "raft" that the boulders will rest upon.Read More

This story is told through the eyes of people who greeted this change not with the confidence and grasping ambition of Japan's modernizers and nationalists, but with resistance, conflict, distress. We encounter writers of dramas, ghost stories and crime novels where modernity itself is the tragedy, the ghoul and the bad guy; surrealist and avant-garde artists sketching their escape; rebel kamikaze pilots and the put-upon urban poor; hypnotists and gangsters; men in desperate search of the eternal feminine and feminists in search of something more than state-sanctioned subservience; Buddhists without morals; Marxist terror groups; couches full to bursting with the psychological fall-out of breakneck modernization. These people all sprang from the soil of modern Japan, but their personalities and projects failed to fit. They were 'dark blossoms': both East-West hybrids and home-grown varieties that wreathed, probed and sometimes penetrated the new structures of mainstream Japan.

Swimming coach 'tortures' babies in bizarre lessons she claims cures disabilities -7news.com.au
A swimming teacher claims she can cure infant's disabilities by brutally dunking them in and out of the water, according to reports.
The Russian "exorcist" swimming coach, Elena Rodionova, forced the children head-first under the water before tossing them around.
Footage of her techniques have gone viral, with some concerned parents saying Rodionova was "torturing" her students.
"This woman is evil," one mother wrote on Facebook.
"Only a sadist would do this to a child."

USA Swimming Foundation Awards $507,461 in the First Round of 2019 Grant Funding for Make a Splash Local Partners
By USA Swimming Foundation | Tuesday, March 26, 2019
Funding for free or reduced-cost swim lessons to help children across the country
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – The USA Swimming Foundation announced today that it has awarded $507,461 to learn-to-swim programs across the country through its first-round of 2019 grant funding for Make a Splash Local Partners. The grants will go towards swim lesson programs, providing 25,705 children with the opportunity to learn how to swim.
The USA Swimming Foundation vetted more than 240 applications through a competitive annual review process and chose 85 programs to receive funding, 26 of whom are first time USA Swimming Foundation grant recipients. Since 2007, the USA Swimming Foundation has awarded more than $6.2 million dollars to help fund learn-to-swim programs across the country.
"It's an incredible feeling to know that USA Swimming Foundation funding will be used to create a valuable swimming experience for tens of thousands of children who may not have had the opportunity to learn how to swim," USA Swimming Foundation Executive Director Debbie Hesse said. "We are thrilled with the depth of this year's Make a Splash Local Partner applicant pool and we couldn't be prouder to support these exciting and lifesaving opportunities for children across the country. We owe a tremendous thank you to our partners and donors, who continue to make a difference."
In 2018, through its Make a Splash Local Partner network, the USA Swimming Foundation helped provide more than 1.3 million children with swimming lessons. Together, the Foundation and their network of 1,000 swim lesson providers across the country are helping to spread national awareness on the importance of learning to swim and bringing together strategic partners to end drowning. More than 7.5 million children have now been served since 2007.
The following USA Swimming Foundation Make a Splash Local Partners will receive funding through this first round of 2019 grant awards:

Consolidation of Equals to Expand Influence and Effectiveness Across Aquatics Industry
Colorado Springs, COLORADO, and Alexandria, VA, January 22, 2019—The National Swimming Pool Foundation® (NSPF) and the Association of Pool & Spa Professionals (APSP) today announced that the organizations will unify to form the Pool & Hot Tub Alliance. The unification was approved by the boards of directors of both organizations on January 18 and 19, respectively, and work is currently underway to establish and formalize governance, structure, and operations. The unified organization is scheduled to officially begin operations on April 1.
The new organization will operate with The Pool & Hot Tub Alliance as the umbrella, leading industrywide advocacy, alliances and promotions. Trade and foundation activities will be conducted separately for procedural and legal purposes, under the banners of The Pool & Hot Tub Professionals Association, and The Pool & Hot Tub Foundation, respectively.
All three groups will be governed by a single Board of Directors to ensure sustained unity of mission and vision, and will be initially composed of five members each from the current boards of NSPF and APSP. Those members are: from APSP, Chris Curcio, Scott Frost, Rich Garbee, Andrew Levinson, and Donna Williams; and from NSPF, Rob Butcher, Karl Frykman, Franceen Gonzalez, James R. Mock, and Anita Sayed, Ph.D.
"Industry leaders and our members and stakeholders increasingly realized that as our industry has continued to evolve and grow, there was tremendous, uncaptured potential to maximize our collective investments and talents for the greater good," said Lawrence (Larry) Caniglia, CEO of APSP, in explaining why the unification is taking place after a similar effort was abandoned in 2016. "We are excited to announce that this potential will now be realized."
Caniglia, who had earlier told the APSP Board that he planned to retire in February 2019, has agreed to stay on as interim CEO of the consolidated organization until the new board can hire a full-time, permanent CEO; and Mock has agreed to serve as The Pool & Hot Tub Foundation's interim Executive Director.
The new unified Board of Directors plans to hold its first, organizational meeting in mid-March to begin the longer term process of integration, with the goal of beginning the search for a permanent CEO, determining staffing requirements and locations for core services and programs. Integration efforts are expected to continue through 2019.
"This is a historic moment for all of us," said APSP Board Chairman Donna Williams, "as we are capitalizing on the considerable groundwork that was laid over the past few years to finally realize the enormous benefits of bringing together the two most established and effective organizations serving our industry."
"We, APSP and NSPF, are seizing the opportunity to have a greater impact," said NSPF President Rob Butcher. Under the new Alliance, our combined resources will allow us to amplify and more effectively promote the fun and benefits of swimming, of being in the water, pools and hot tubs; we will be able to put more resources into water safety; and we will be able to better protect the interests of all our stakeholders and members," he said.
The leaders of both NSPF and APSP agreed that the new structure, with its "Celebrate the Water" mission, will offer greater community benefits by facilitating the expansion of swimming, water safety and related research and outreach activities aimed at introducing more people to swimming, making swimming environments safer, and keeping pools open to serve communities.
In addition, the unified organization will expand growth opportunities for aquatics professionals and businesses by promoting demand for swimming and increasing the efficient delivery of educational and training opportunities.
Finally, by speaking with a single, united advocacy voice, The Pool & Hot Tub Alliance will be better positioned to protect the interests of the industry through an unprecedented and expanded network that includes both nationwide and international alliances and relationships.
Under The Pool & Hot Tub Alliance, stakeholders and members of the two founding organizations will benefit from the full array of education, training, certification, advocacy, promotion, research, grantmaking and support services currently delivered by APSP and NSPF separately, while combining infrastructures, networks, affiliations, and resources, and eliminating duplication of programs to provide the greatest value and impact.
The Pool & Hot Tub Professionals Association will be the 501(c)(6) trade organization to manage certifications, standards, volunteer workforce opportunities, awards and member services, while The Pool & Hot Tub Foundation will be the 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization to manage education, publications, research, fundraising, and grantmaking.
To assist the new Board of Directors with the integration process, APSP and NSPF have established a unification working group task force, comprised of leaders from both organizations to finalize governing documents, develop branding and logos, appoint officers and begin developing enterprise-wide business strategies and plans that will include early communications with all members and stakeholders.
The two groups have agreed there will be no immediate changes to programming, including scheduled activities of chapters, councils, and 2019 events and trade shows, and services will continue to be provided by both staffs, which will remain in place at their current locations throughout the integration process.
"We recognize this is no small task we have set for ourselves," Caniglia said, "But we also believe APSP and NSPF have extraordinarily talented staffs, with extensive industry experience, and with their help we will move forward to pool our strengths for the benefit of all our stakeholders."

Remembering Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. And The Right To Swim
by BRUCE WIGO15 January 2018, 10:54am
On the national holiday remembering Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. we remember his love of swimming and the role he played in making swimming accessible to all.
In the summer of 1964, while congress was debating the passage of the Civil Rights Act, Dr. King sent the future Mayor of Atlanta and US Ambassador to the United Nations, Andrew Young to St. Augustine, Florida to calm the racial tensions that had been brewing for years.
While leading a peaceful march through the City, Young was attacked and beaten by an angry mob of segregationists on the evening of June 9th. A few days later, Dr. King arrived in St. Augustine and was arrested in an attempt to integrate the restaurant at the Monson Motel. The following week, a group of "integrationists" staged a "swim-in" at the same motel's pool. READ MORE…

Active Lifeguarding Saves Lives!
By USA Management
We have all seen the cliché of the lifeguard sitting in the stand with dark sunglasses, relaxed, a rescue tube nearby and twirling their whistle. The chances are strong that you may believe that is the job of a lifeguard. Well, the times have changed. Newton's First Law of Motion states that a body at rest will remain at rest, unless an outside force acts on it, and a body in motion will remain in motion. Our understanding of the physiological impact of motion as it relates to water safety and lifeguards has evolved. We believe that lifeguards can help drastically change the drowning statistics using three primary tools.
- Active lifeguarding
- Parents Supervising their children
- Risk management – (Who can/cannot swim)
The overwhelming reality is that nearly 3,600 people unintentionally drown annually in the United States alone. One in five drownings are children under the age of 14. Children between the ages of 1-4 years old are the second leading cause of death. The lifeguard industry must adapt and get Serious On Safety™ (SOS). Research and training enhancements are leading aquatic professionals to embrace a new lifeguarding mantra that is called "Active Lifeguarding". What is Active Lifeguarding? A certified swimmer who constantly is in a state of motion enforcing water safety rules and ready to assist patrons that have a need.
A lifeguard's main responsibility is to enforce water safety rules by encouraging parents to be responsible for their child's safety. If an incident were to occur around water or at an aquatic facility a lifeguard training is in proving first response to a victim. Parents Supervise – Lifeguards Save Lives! A lifeguards success deeply depends on having a fresh mind and a constant awareness of who can and cannot swim. Children are not the only high risks around water. Many adults are non-swimmers or have poor swimming abilities. Understanding that a lifeguards focus is observing swimmers within their zone requires regular awareness and parental supervision. Historically lifeguards sit in a chair and watch. Now Active Lifeguarding relies on the physical movement of a lifeguard as well as the changing of body position while moving their eyes along every square foot of their zone to maintain focus on each swimmer as well as identifying their highest risk. Each lifeguard should take measured deliberate paces from their station, 20 paces to the left and 20 paces to the right, while scanning their zone. Most importantly a lifeguard must always identify their highest risks and address each risk in a proactive manner. EXAMPLE: If a lifeguard is actively scanning their zone and identifies a non-swimmer without a parent or a guardian providing touch-supervision than that lifeguard would take action by having the identified non-swimmer removed from the water until proper touch-supervision is provided. Lifeguards are NOT "water-sitters". Active lifeguarding techniques help to keep lifeguards in an alert and ready position allowing them a quicker response time should an incident arise. As the lifeguard actively moves within their station while scanning their zone with full body motion of pacing, counting swimmers, identifying who can swim and locate their highest risk water users breaks up the monotony of a rotation and allows their mind to remain focused on task of enforcing water safety rules. It is imperative for children that cannot swim or are poor swimmers to be properly supervised by their parents at all times! This active approach has drastically reduced the need for lifeguard stands and, in most cases, eliminates the need for one.
Parental supervision and identifying non-swimmers are critical to drowning reduction. As research has shown the majority of drowning victims cannot swim. When patrons enter a swimming facility a lifeguard team cannot assume that patrons will make safe decisions. Furthermore, lifeguards cannot assume that everyone can swim. Due to the aforementioned facts and statistics, it is recommended that all children under 14 years old must be tested to identify their swimming skills. After each child is tested for their swimming skills then each child should be "tagged" and recorded. A red or yellow armband tag usually denotes non-swimmers and therefore must have proper parental or guardian supervision. A green armband tag usually denotes unrestricted swimming and then should be within their parents or guardians site and swim with a buddy (the buddy system). This mandatory screening allows the lifeguard staff to manage the water responsibly by enforcing touch-supervision for non-swimmers. Equally important to incident response is incident prevention. This process of screening and identifying risk empowers lifeguards to be more effective in doing their duty.
These techniques allow lifeguards to make overall risk management decisions on how to safely protect swimmers and non-swimmers in and around water. Facility operators when equipped with these basic principles will be able to structure various areas to allow everyone to enjoy water safely. In order to assist facilities and promote water safety awareness in communities signage and literature should be visual posted and engaging to help explain these important methods. To help promote water safety awareness aquatic facilities should have proper signage and literature to help explain the importance of these methods. Educating children and making parents aware of the dangers in and around water will help empower your lifeguard staff. Watch Around Water™ (WAW) is a good resource to use in helping raise awareness for the safety of children in and around water. Understanding that the solution to attacking the drowning statistics starts with awareness and compelling parents to be accountable for their children, especially around water. The old adage that "Safety starts at home" is very true. The undeniable solution for risk management is to test all children under 14, properly identify swimmer and non-swimmer, label them properly to allow for easy identification, mandate parental supervision by enforcing touch-supervision, support the buddy system (no swimming alone), and finally implement Active Lifeguarding practices for your lifeguards/first responders to manage swim zones in an alert, focused, motion driven, actively engaging water scanning routine.

Livermore, CA (January 9, 2019) FINIS, Inc., the worldwide leader in technical swimming innovation, is proud to announce the signing of two-time Olympian Lia Neal. The New York native and Stanford alum signed a long-term deal with the leading swim brand that extends through the 2020 Olympic Games.
"I am extremely excited for the opportunity to join the FINIS family. The future's looking bright for FINIS. I could not be happier to be part of this team on its upward trajectory through 2020 and beyond." says Neal.
"We are very proud to support an athlete like Lia," says CEO and cofounder John Mix. "She has the character, work ethic and potential that we look for in every member of Team FINIS. Lia puts her whole heart into this sport and that's what we need in our athletes—they are our closest partners in developing the best products in the world."
Neal started her impressive career at an early age. She has continually excelled, nationally and internationally, since competing in her first Olympic Trials at age 13.
Neal made history on the global stage in 2012, becoming the first woman of African American descent to become a two-time Olympian and swim in an Olympic final for Team USA. As a star sprinter at Stanford, Neal played a vital role in setting multiple American records and winning national titles, finishing her career as team captain of Stanford's 2017 NCAA Championship team.
Most recently, Neal emerged from World Championships in Hangzhou, China, with four medals, including a gold medal in the 4×100 alongside a fellow member of Team FINIS, Olivia Smoliga.
"I admire everything Lia represents as an athlete," says national sales manager Keith Jizmejian. "She's not only committed to improving her own performance, but also improving access to the sport. Lia's values stood out to us very early on in the process."
Neal is a major proponent for improving education and access to swimming in the U.S. and internationally. In 2017 and 2018, Neal led swim clinics around the globe, including in the U.S., China, Hong Kong, Mexico and Singapore. Further, she recently launched Swim Brooklyn, an initiative to raise awareness about swimming in her home community.
Neal is currently training with David Marsh and Team Elite in San Diego, California.
"We're just getting started," says Mix. "In launching the Rival 2.0, it was our explicit goal to make a suit that would impress the best athletes in the world. Lia joining the team is just one of the many indicators that the Rival 2.0 is that suit. Working with someone of Lia's caliber is an exciting step for our team and we intend to maintain every bit of this momentum going into 2020."
About FINIS, Inc.
John Mix and Olympic gold medal swimmer Pablo Morales founded FINIS in Northern California in 1993 with a mission to simplify swimming for athletes, coaches, beginners and lifelong swimmers around the world. Today, FINIS fulfills that mission through innovation, high-quality products and a commitment to education. FINIS products are currently available in over 80 countries.

School Boards Should Require Mandatory Swimming As Part Of The Physical Education Curriculum :: The Pavlovic Today
Those of us who frequently watch television shows such as Rescue 911, Cops, Real Stories Of The Highway PatrolAlaska State Troopers and North Woods Law have seen several episodes in which people need to be rescued in relatively shallow water, often during severe floods. The tragic incidents that we're seeing on some of these law enforcement documentary television shows in which people nearly drown in shallow water, as well as a number of tragic incidents in which law enforcement officers aren't able to successfully rescue people from drowning in shallow water represent only a small fraction of such incidents throughout the U.S. each year. Sadly, many of these injuries and deaths could have probably been avoided if people had learned how to swim.The numbers of reported drownings in the U.S. vary between years, and it is clear that lack of ability to swim is one of the leading contributing factors. If teaching basic swimming and treading water skills were required as part of the physical education curriculum in all of the public schools in each state, I suspect that several years from now, we'd see a significant reduction in the numbers of incidents in which people are seriously injured or drown in shallow water.

Why Job Candidates Are Standing You Up and How to Put a Stop to It – Small Business Trends
If you've tried to fill a position at your business lately, you know how challenging it can be. With a record low unemployment rates, it's suddenly an employees' market. Unfortunately, some job candidates are taking advantage of this fact by "ghosting" potential employers— or even companies that have offered them jobs."Ghosting," for those not hip to the lingo, usually refers to a situation when after an exchange of texts or even a few dates, a potential love connection suddenly disappears. No more text, no more calls, no response to your attempts to make contact — just radio silence. In the workplace, ghosting can take many forms, including:
Not showing up for scheduled job interviews
Not returning calls or emails from the potential employer
Receiving a job offer and never responding
Accepting the job, then never showing up for workAs a small business owner, you put a lot of time and effort into hiring new employees — so it can be devastating when someone you thought was the answer to your problems disappears into thin air. What makes job candidates ghost? READ MORE…

How I learned to manage rebel employees (without upsetting everyone else)| Aquatics International Magazine
There's no doubt that rebellious employees can add some kinks in the system when trying to keep operations running smoothly. They may presume to decide which of their assigned duties are worthwhile and which aren't. And they may demand more attention and credit than their peers.But there are two sides to every coin. The very things that can make these individuals problematic also can make them exceptional. Because they tend to see things differently than others, they often provide outside-the-box suggestions. And they may offer excellent focus and skills on the things they think important.Other staffers notice this dynamic and may resent the extra credit and attention their difficult peers receive. This writer offer anecdote with some advice on how to provide rebellious individuals what they need, get what you need from them, and keep other employees from feeling ignored or dismissed.

Alligator found swimming in Lake Michigan | Fox17
WAUKEGAN, Ill. — Police in northern Illinois were surprised when they were called on reports of an alligator swimming in Lake Michigan. They were even more surprised finding out the report was true. Sure enough, officials in Waukegan found a four-foot American alligator swimming in the lake, according to city officials. There was initial confusion about whether or not it was an alligator or caiman, but lab tests ultimately confirmed it was an alligator, a Waukegan spokesperson told WITI. READ MORE…

Olympian opens swim school in Jacksonville after close call as child – www.news4jax.com
Aqua Swim School offers lessons to help prevent drownings
By Zachery Lashway – Reporter/anchor, Roxy Tyler – Web producer Posted: 3:44 PM, September 15, 2018 Updated: 3:45 PM, September 15, 2018
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Every day, there are 10 drownings in the U.S. It's the No. 1 cause of death for children under the age of 5. Teaching children to swim holds special meaning for two-time Olympian Nim Shapira, who opened The Aqua Swim School in Jacksonville on Saturday. Shapira nearly drowned when he was 7 years old during a birthday party at his home in Tel Aviv, Israel. "We had a pool in the backyard, and someone accidentally pushed me and I nearly drowned to the bottom of the pool. The person who pushed me didn't even notice," Shapira said. It was an experience he said he will never forget. "I am 29 years old. I still have once a year, once every two years, I have a dream of just seeing bubbles of water. It was a bad very moment," said Shapiro.Shapira moved to Jacksonville at age 15 and attended The Bolles School, living in the dorm for two and a half years. When he was a senior at Bolles, he competed in the 2008 Olympics and he competed again in the 2012 Olympics. He no longer competes in swimming. He teaches it instead as the founder and owner of the Aqua Swim School. Read more…

Woman Run Over By Ft. Lauderdale Lifeguard Takes City To Court « CBS Miami
FT LAUDERDALE (CBSMiami) – After numerous delays, a civil trial is underway in Ft. Lauderdale pitting a beach visitor against the city. Jury selection got underway Monday for a trial in which a North Carolina school teacher, who was run over by a Ft. Lauderdale Ocean Rescue lifeguard, is seeking damages from the city. During a trip to the beach in April 2012, Rinda Mizelle, 49, was lying in the sand next to a lifeguard tower when a member of the beach patrol on an SUV ran over her. Police said that Sherry Samuel, the driver of the ocean rescue vehicle had just finished speaking to a lifeguard at the rescue stand when she got on her vehicle, made a right turn, and drove directly over Mizelle. She was pulled from underneath the passenger side of the vehicle and taken to Broward Health Medical Center for non-life threatening injuries. Police reported that she suffered lacerations on her arms and legs, but was treated and released a short time after. An attorney for Mizelle said she suffered orthopedic and neurological injuries, as well as significant burns on her arms. Read more...

The Legend of Zelda is a pretty popular little 8-bit beast. One fan, a modder identified as Exkodius, wondered what it would be like to trundle around Hyrule in pixelacious 3D. Like you do. Heeding the warnings, they did not go alone, enlisting the help of a friend to recreate the game in the Doom engine. The friend turned out to not be very helpful and Exkodius spent three years toiling on the dream, creating a fairly faithful 3D rendition of part of the game.
Now, Exkodius is releasing the files in the hope that someone can continue their quest after realising they neither have the time nor sufficient knowledge to complete what they started. "I really hope someone with the passion or just the know how can have some use of this and mabye [sic] even finish it?" Exkodius notes on the Moddb page for the project.
So, if you were looking for a new project in 2019 after that whole "exercise more" thing fell through, you can find all the files and information you need at the Moddb page for The Legend of Zelda: Total Conversion. I mean, before Nintendo finds out and ruins all the fun.

It's appropriate for state lawmakers to consider the proper role of government and eliminate excessive regulations that hold back Florida's economy.
At the same time, it's essential that elected leaders preserve the fundamental responsibility of government to safeguard citizens and avoid actions that have unintended consequences.
Shortsighted legislation currently making its way through the legislative process would violate both of these principles by introducing a safety threat and aggravating the very problem it purports to correct.
The professional deregulation bills – SB 1640 and HB 27 – are being promoted as making it easier for people to enter the workforce as barbers or specialists in skin care and nails, supposedly eliminating barriers to entry into these professions.
However, these bills would actually increase the barrier to entry and would put the public at risk of illness and injury from undertrained practitioners by giving Florida the lowest training standards in the nation for barbers, esthetician, nail technicians, and full specialists.
This legislation would reduce the number of hours needed to work as a barber to 600, less than half the national average.
Within that limited time, students would have to learn fully about safety and sanitation,

How to collect antique & vintage jewelry
All jewelry has an intrinsic value which makes it a popular item for collectors. Jewelry is small, easy to display, and ready to wear. Collecting antique and vintage jewelry can be like a treasure hunt! I'm going to cover two categories of jewelry (fine jewelry and costume jewelry), and popular style (cameos).
Fine jewelry and costume jewelry are both popular with collectors. Signed pieces usually indicate better jewelry, but not necessarily, as quality examples are available without a maker's mark. Antique jewelry are pieces made prior to 1960, and jewelry made after 1960 are considered collectibles.
Fine jewelry
Fine jewelry is made of precious metal and gemstones. Look for quality made pieces. Try to collect pieces that are stamped, or have a makers mark. These are referred to as signed pieces. Also look for artistic design, quality, rare and unusual, antique and vintage. Buy pieces that appeal to you.
Antique fine jewelry is a customer favorite.
Costume jewelry
The second style or category is costume jewelry. Custom jewelry may be bakelite, plastic, faux pearls, rhinestones, colored stones, and more. Some collectors look for just cameos, black mourning jewelry, only clip style earrings, or ostentatious brooches. There are many possibilities! Finding a signed piece is a bonus—though never a necessity. Always buy what you like.
We have a large variety of antique and collectible costume jewelry. Stop in to browse what's available.
A fascinating and favorite collectible is the cameo. Cameos are found in pins, pendants, rings and bracelets, molded or cut, precious materials or plastic-a cameo is one of the most popular jewelry items my customers look for. The image can be a famous historic scene or character, or the classic female profile.
Carved cameos are generally made of shell that gives a two-tone color. Molded cameos are often made of plastic or glass, and several were made in bakelite (or bake-a-lite, a synthetic resin or plastic ) in the 1950s. Often a cameo is handed-down from a grandmother or great-grandmother as a treasured family heirloom.
HH Antiques usually has cameo brooches, cameo pendants, and cameo ring offered for sale. Prices typically range from $10.00 - $85.00.

Barrier properties of thin Au/Ni–P under bump metallization for Sn–3.5Ag solder
Kumar, Aditya
He, Min
Chen, Zhong
Date of Issue2004
School of Materials Science and Engineering
Accepted version
Electroless Ni–P with a thin layer of immersion gold has been considered as a promising under bump metallization (UBM) for low-cost flip–chip technology. However, the presence of P in electroless Ni–P causes complicated interfacial reactions, which affect the reliability of solder joint. In this work, barrier properties of thin Au/Ni–P UBM between Cu substrate and Sn–3.5Ag solder were investigated during annealing at 160, 180, and 200 °C in terms of IMC formation. Multilayer Sn–3.5Ag/Au/Ni–P/Cu sample was prepared by electroless chemical plating and solder reflow for the investigation. Annealing results showed that electroless Ni–P acts as a good barrier for Sn diffusion at 160 and 180 °C. However, it fails to protect the Cu substrate from reacting with Sn at 200 °C. The reason is that the electroless Ni–P layer starts converting into a ternary Ni–Sn–P layer at 200 °C. Complete conversion of the Ni–P layer into Ni–Sn–P, results in the formation of two Cu–Sn intermetallics, Cu6Sn5 and Cu3Sn, at the Ni–Sn–P/Cu interface and the formation of (NixCu1−x)6Sn5 intermetallic at the Ni3Sn4/Ni–Sn–P interface.

SPECIFI and the Creative Ring participated in Net Futures, event organised by the European Commission from the 25th to the 26th of March, 2015 at the EGG. During the conference the Creative Ring community delved into one of its specific themes: "ICT for tourism". The goal was showcasing a set of innovatory tourism-related services, stimulating a lively dialogue within the community, interacting with participants at the event, via social media and on Yola, a dedicated online collaborative platform.
During the event visitors had the chance to discover:
- Playground, a smartphone game allowing users to discover urban spaces in a playful way while fostering social inclusion
- VideoVivo, a software platform to create interactive videos and digital storytelling. VideoVivo allows users combining different elements/content and displaying results on the video in an interactive way
- YOLA, a mobile application and web platform enabling large groups of people to outline new ideas together. During Net Futures Yola was used by participants during a co-creative exercise run by our team at the Idea Wall (see pictures). The Idea Wall is a physical laboratory divided into thematic areas where attendees shared their tourism-related ideas.
Net Futures Conference gave participants the opportunity to discover how the Creative Ring supports its community to collaborate and co-create combining multiple skills, technologies and talents. Many visitors from all over Europe and some non-European countries like U.S.A. came to see the Creative Ring stand (as well as the idea Wall) to discover our demos, ask information about our community and discuss possibilities for cooperation. A Creative Ring delegate, Giovanni Cortese, was interviewed by journalists and a summary of this conversation has been then published on the event website (watch video here) giving high visibility to the network and its goals.

Tips for Writing a Eulogy
When someone close to you passes away, you may be called upon to write a eulogy. Delivering the eulogy is a great honor, and you should take time to prepare what you are going to say at the service. Watch this video for helpful tips on how to write a eulogy.
Ask other friends and family of the deceased about their favorite memories or stories. You may notice a common theme, such as humor, generosity, or dedication to a cause. Be sure to write down what you are going to say, as you might get nervous and forget when it is actually time to deliver the eulogy. Try to have a clear beginning, middle, and end to keep listeners engaged throughout the cemetery service.
Death is difficult, which is why the caring professionals at Inglewood Park Cemetery treat you and your family with the utmost respect and care during your time of loss. Call us at (310) 412-6500 to learn more about our cemetery and cremation services, serving the greater Los Angeles area.

My story
I am Corina, a wanderer world wide with many seen destinations and a long list of places waiting for me. Travel is my source of inspiration in day to day life, a way to grow spiritually and the only dose of adrenaline I need! I always travel informed and I like to share my experiences and to relive my memories. My travel planning has changed since the number of travellers increased with one baby :). And so has my blog changed.
My blog's story
First it was a travel diary, with no purpose, on blogspot, plecinlume.blogspot.ro. Four years later the diary moved on its own domain, plecinlume.ro. And only in 2018 it redefined and set its purpose, reaching a new milestone in its way and becoming anothermilestone.eu.
Another milestone is a travel blog about interesting lands, about events ended with lessons, about places that enlarge horizons. It is a blog for working moms that want to wander, for fathers in search of new destinations and for curious children. My blog's mission is to help families travel smarter and easier. Please read, if you find anything interesting, ask, if you want to find something, share your opinion nicely and travel the world because "there's such a lot of world to see"! (Moon River, Frank Sinatra)
Everything you will find on this blog is my work. The pictures that don't belong to me have their source mentioned and their author's agreement to be published. So please, if you want to use something you like from this blog, don't do it without my agreement. Thank you!
I am also a travel consultant and I offer private tours and amazing experiences for those who want to discover Romania, Secret Romania.

3. The first three days are required to make changes from moderate to your normal routine. There is a reason behind this. It's hard to change your eating habits drastically overnight. Therefore, the food has slowly consumed minimize and do for 3 days. From the first day you start your weight loss program, a cup of rice and chapatis will reduce your appetite, satisfy your cravings for carbohydrates to some extent. The three steamed vegetables will give more fullness with fewer calories.
You likely keep almonds stocked in your pantry because they're brimming with healthy fats that keep you slim and satiated. So what if we told you that swapping your sugary pre-workout snack with your favorite nut can help skyrocket your workout's effectiveness? According to a study in the Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition, popping about 2.6 ounces of whole almonds increased cyclists' endurance performance and improved oxygen utilization more than cookies did. Researchers suspect that almonds' nutrients arginine and quercetin may contribute to these fat-burning effects.
"If there's one thing that comes up over and over with the thousands of patients enrolled in the National Weight Control Registry, it's weighing yourself every day on a scale," says Rena Wing, Ph.D., founder of the registry, which tracks more than 4,500 men and women who have lost an average of 20lbs or more and kept it off for at least six years. "Don't obsess over the number," she says, "but at least keep track of the general range of what you weigh so you can catch small changes as they occur and take corrective measures immediately."
Eat only fresh fruits with a high level of anti-oxidants such as lemon, oranges, etc. The meals and snacks must strictly comprise fruits, as these contain more of water, essential nutrients and less of fat. To make low-calorie snacks out of fruits, you could prepare smoothies with low-fat yoghurt and lots of fresh fruits. Pour in a glass of banana or apple smoothie to gratify hunger for a long time. A perfect start for your 10 day weight loss plan. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CnTdPfsB_Xc
There is one important thing that you should keep in mind – that you may not end up losing as much weight as you want to. The initial few kilos/pounds will be easy to shed, but after that, it can get a little tougher. The weight loss won't be as drastic as it was. But the thing is, you are making changes to your lifestyle and heading down a path of better health. Sustainable weight loss is better for you in the long term.
This is one of the unhealthiest misconceptions that people have about losing weight. There is no magical potion; no magical foods, drinks, exercise or pills will ever make you lose weight in 10 days. You will fall sick for all you know! We are not here to give you any secret to weight loss, we will guide you through a systematic process that requires you to work, not sit and wait for a magic to happen.
The researchers explain that people who cook their own meals may simply have other good-for-you habits, like exercising more. However, they also concluded that home cooks ate more fruits and vegetables (along with a wider variety of foods), have healthier methods of prepping their food, and splurge less on foods high in calories and sugar. No clue where to start? Check out these 25 high-protein chicken recipes for weight loss.
Avoid Junk Food – While you are at it, make sure that you do not eat junk food by any chance. By eating junk food you are making your chances of getting slim, very slim. Junk food like fries and burgers and flavoured sodas are the worst enemy when you are aiming to lose weight. Instead of snacking on these, you must eat nuts, and fruits when feeling hungry.
Depending how much you move, this can make up anywhere between 15-50 per cent of your total energy expenditure and can be the crucial difference between calorie maintenance and calorie deficit. Every client is advised to build activity into their day and aim for 10,000 steps per day. Walk to work, carry the shopping home, take their stairs; do anything that gets you moving more and increases the daily calorie burn from NEAT.
Losing fat doesn't have to be complicated, but it can be so confusing with so much advice coming at you from all angles. Fitness coach Yiannis Fleming (@mrsportofficial on Instagram), who helps thousands of people on their weight-loss journeys, wants to make things simple. With a degree in sport science and a Stanford diploma in health and nutrition, he recently shared a post explaining four tips to help with fat loss.
Throw out the junk in your house. You've got the plan. You've got the motivation. Now all you need to do is set yourself up for success. It sounds a bit harsh and it may feel like a blow to your wallet, but go through your kitchen right now. Throw out the junk food and prepackaged stuff you know you don't need. If you're serious about this 10-day weight loss thing, you'll make the sacrifice. It's the only way to avoid the temptation.
2. Clean eating- foods we purchase daily are filled with added preservatives and sugars. Refined sugars are a diet disaster. It is important to limit processed foods. Aim to eat foods that contain less than 6 ingredients. Try not to eat things that have sugar as one of the top 4 ingredients. This can be written as sugar, corn syrup, fructose, and many other names. Stick to whole foods like fresh fruits and vegetables and whole grains such as quinoa, barley, and brown rice.
Some of us no longer have the strong joints we had as teenagers. Jogging is out of the question and walking doesn't cut it. The good news is elliptical trainers provide an intense, low impact cardio workout. In fact, a 145-lb. person can burn about 300 calories in 30 minutes on an elliptical trainer. That's about as many calories as running burns, but without the joint wear-and-tear. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-MqB5nq2z2w

Relationships between the dimensions of organizational justice and students' satisfaction in university contexts
Document typeArticle
Date issued2017-04
Rights accessOpen Access
Purpose: Identify the relationships between the organizational justice dimensions and the students' satisfaction. Design/methodology: It has embraced a quantitative methodological approach, where we chose the individual questionnaire as a tool of data collection. Findings: We found a positive relationship between satisfaction of university students and the distributive justice, informational justice and personal justice. However, this relationship not exists with overall procedural justice. Also, we identified a relationship between the procedural justice and interactional justice (personal and informational justice) in university contexts. Research limitations/implications: The sample of this study is from a small number of Spanish universities, therefore, the conclusions must be generalized with caution. Practical implications: We established foundations between the perceived justice of university students and their satisfaction, stating early relationships for expansion in future research. With them, the lecturers and the chancellor could manage the course taking into account aspects that it could harm the satisfaction of their students. So, they could look for other alternatives. Originality/value: We introduced the organizational justice context in the university context and we related it with the satisfaction of university students. So, it stimulates discussion and reflection about the experience of the higher education students and give the foundations to understand how some lecturers and professors' decisions and actions affect the students' satisfaction.
