UFC 220 Results: Daniel Cormier, Stipe Miocic Defend Championship Belts
- Author: Lawrence Cooper Jan 22, 2018,
Jan 22, 2018, 1:29
The Strong Style Fight Team standout retained the undisputed Ultimate Fighting Championship heavyweight title with a five-round unanimous decision over No. 1 contender Francis Ngannou in the UFC 220 main event on Saturday at the TD Garden in Boston.
With his success, Miocic became the first heavyweight to successfully defend the belt three consecutive times. Immediately the champion gets to full mount.
Despite Ngannou failing to make a big impression on the contest, Miocic praised the African, who climbed the ladder to a UFC title shot within five years of beginning his training in MMA.
The win was 35-year-old's the sixth straight while Ngannou had his 10-fight winning streak of stoppage wins snapped.
With a touch of the gloves, the two hulking warriors met in the center of the Octagon.
Round three saw Miocic attack early with leg kicks. Ngannou fired back with a right. Ngannou was able to pop back up out of the hold, but Miocic maintained clinch until stepping out of it. After a momentary lull to the action, Ngannou pushed forward with more haymakers but could only connect with air.
Oezdemir with a jab. nice left from Cormier.
Ducking under, Miocic secured the takedown and worked his way to half-guard., planting a series of shorts punches and elbows in the process. Avoiding most of those lethal Ngannou punches, Miocic laced one-two combinations through Ngannou's defense.
Women attend football matches in Saudi Arabia for first time
The call for applicants comes after the country granted women the right to drive in September. The move to open up stadiums to women for the first time was announced last October.
Miocic landed yet another takedown and just punished Ngannou on the ground. Even when Miocic seemingly lets him loose, a listless Ngannou can not get loose.
Many did, but Miocic knew he had the skills to rise to the occasion. It was "DC" in control at the end, as he took his opponent down and almost sunk in a rear naked choke before the horn sounded.
At one stage, the champion was backed against the cage and Oezdemir connected with a left hand that resembled the same knockout blows that had ended fights in the past. DC transitions into the single leg and brings the challenger to the mat early. Stunned, Miocic instinctively dropped down and secured the takedown. With the referee watching closely, Miocic continued to connect with short punches and elbows against the fence to close out the round.
But Miocic will enter the underdog, offered at the current price of plus-145 with Ngannou at minus-175.
Miocic grabbed Ngannou's bulging neck in the final seconds of round two but the bell saved the stricken star from a submission defeat. The 6-foot-4, 263-pound Ngannou's body betrayed him. The two broke and Miocic landed a right; Ngannou then landed a crushing right that hurt Miocic.
A visibly worn out Ngannou could not muster anything in the final round and a dominant Miocic made the judges decision an easy one as he claimed history.
It was only a temporary reprieve, though, as Cormier quickly asserted himself. Hard right hand from Cormier.

First weekend of the No-Food-Purchased-In-Plastic Experiment
I've gone six days of my no-food-purchased-in-plastic experiment and I survived the weekend quite well, thanks in part to the fact that my fridge was well stocked when I started the experiment … and I ate a couple of meals at friend's homes. The only money I spent on food this weekend was to support my whole-milk-latte habit … neither organic nor particularly healthy … but always in a reusable mug.
I'm beginning to quite like that expensive mug I purchased a few days ago.
I did run into a plastic dilemma at a party Saturday night. There was tons of amazing home made food served on paper plates and only plastic forks available for use. I thought I had put a fork into my purse earlier in the day, but when I went to look for it, it was no where to be found. So I stuck to the finger food … actually I pretended everything was finger food and nobody seemed to care.
The week ahead should be interesting because I am almost out of a few ingredients that I like to have on hand that I have never seen sold in non-plastic containers. I'll let you know how that goes.
And before I go, I'd like to tell you about something very cool that is happening in my kitchen as I type.
Earlier today I decided I would make hummus dip from scratch and started soaking the garbanzo beans (aka chickpeas) in water in a large pot. The beans had been soaking several hours when I returned home from running an errand. I sat down at my desk to write this post and kept hearing a popping sound coming from the kitchen. Puzzled, I went to investigate and sure enough it was the garbanzo beans popping away as they absorbed the water. They have swelled up so much that the pot is almost too small. Some of the beans have even started to sprout and they taste delicious … like fresh pea sprouts.
Right now the thought of cooking those popping beauties and turning them into hummus seems downright cruel. I think I'll be having sprouted garbanzos for breakfast.

I've become a "scrobbling" addict lately. I'm especially concerned with my last.fm profile accurately demonstrating my overall musical tastes, so I'll tailor my day-to-day listening to try and balance out any temporary flights of fancy I might have (Like the Monkees binge I'm on right now, thanks to Merlin.). Nothing feeds into this obsession more than this Mainstream-o-meter, which compares your top 30 artists with everyone else. My results are skewed due to a couple audiobooks and a few artists that really shouldn't be ranked as high on my list as they actually are currently.
Interesting observations that illustrate an obvious "last.fm users vs. the rest of the real world" bias:
- Elliot Smith and Sufjan Stevens are more "mainstream" than The Beach Boys.
- The Beatles and Radiohead are both above 100%, they are so mainstream.
- Tom Waits, Van Morrison, Elvis Costello and Tori Amos all seem surprisingly low.

Sail art
18 responses to "Sail art"
Please elaborate!!!!
Nice work Richard! You are way ahead.
Very instructive.
Here are a few additional queries:
Sheet to the upper batten?
Double check Van Loan?
To split or not to split?
But certainly no aero / wishbones?
Angle of lower batten bit > 110 degrees?
How about sailcloth from upper batten to mast tip instead of yard?
Please elaborate some more.
Even art deserves elaboration!
Hi Richard,
I was thinking that by lifting the battens and boom they would be encouraged to induce horizontal camber in the panels in that the sail would no longer hang or be pulled flat. If the existing sail is tensioned between its halyard and some kind of down haul with the down haul loosened and these additional lines tensioned they would create a "bagging" effect in the sail. The re tensioned down haul would pull against the "reverse Cunningham lines instead of the main halyard. I'm not sure what would happen at the main sheet end of the boom/battens though.
You raise some very good points. How about a Bermudan style batten pocket in the middle of each panel. You could then add a fibre glass long batten, thicker at the mast end and tapering towards the leach into each panel. Thanks for the offer of a sail.
I think it looks very pretty, but am not sufficient of a technical junkie to comment on its possible merits. I leave that to others in the JRA

The Value of Broadening Your Horizons
When visiting another country, it's so easy to enjoy yourself. The pleasure of experiencing and seeing new things all around you is shocking and adventurous by nature, but at what point do these new locations and their cultures you decide to explore become challenging to bare? Do you think you could live in a foreign country for two years? If so, working, studying, or volunteering abroad could be an interesting option for you to look into during college or after graduation.
To help shed some light on moving to a new country and the lessons learned from volunteering abroad, Thomas O'Brien shared with us his memories of teaching in Morocco. O'Brien is the Director of Research for the Center for International Trade and Transportation (CITT) at California State University, Long Beach, and is a living example of how working in a foreign country can be one of the greatest things you can do to improve yourself and the lives of others.
What motivated you to live in a new country?
I joined the Peace Corps just out of college partly because I wasn't exactly sure what I was going to do and I didn't know who was going to hire me. I had a good general foundation of liberal arts skills, but I really loved language and I had studied abroad in France when I was a sophomore, so I wanted to pursue that lifestyle again by volunteering abroad. I thought that the Peace Corps was a good transition out of college, so I interviewed to join, and before I knew it I was offered to go and teach English in Morocco for 2 years.
Tell me about your experience in the Peace Corps…
We were sent to the capital, Rabat, in the summer of 1986, for training before being transferred to our designated towns. My ID card number was 1, because I was the first volunteer located in Missour, a small town which was there because it had a road that eventually lead to Algeria. I was an English teacher in a boarding school and, without realizing it at the time, I had developed my leadership strengths and management strategies thanks to this experience. There is a lot of self discipline required in teaching and living daily in a foreign environment, but I liked the challenge of educating students and cultural adaptation. I love language, so being able to speak Arabic and French, while teaching English really enabled me to thrive there.
After proving my capabilities in teaching and linguistics, I earned an administrative position with the Peace Corps my third year in the city of Rabat. So by my third year out of college I was in a leadership position, representing the Peace Corps by doing on site inspections of the other volunteers and their high school's across Morocco. . . I left with a set of concrete skills that I would not have been able to develop had I not volunteered abroad with the Peace Corps.
What is the most rewarding part in volunteering?
I believe I have made a difference in providing a different example and perspective for the students that I taught. I was able to contribute to the learning of my students, the teaching of my coworkers, and I hope I changed the presumption of what Americans are like for some people in Morocco. I also think I made a difference back home, with my family and friends in having them question their presumptions about what they think the world is like outside of the U.S. I did leave an impact on the lives of my students, but I think volunteering abroad left a much greater impact on myself.
Social media has helped me reconnect with many past students from Morocco and most recently, I heard from my greatest student. He was a poor boy from a village outside of Missour that I taught in the boarding school. He is now a U.S. citizen and translator for the U.S. government. He has translated Arabic for the supreme court and stood out to me because he was always a go-getter. His journey from a small village in Morocco to where he is now is pretty amazing.
A lot of joining the Peace Corps for me was pursuing personal fulfillment and development. I got the opportunity to travel to places I never would have, I got to do things, in retrospect, I could never do nowadays; like, should I really hop in the car with these guys I don't know? But I did it. I accepted opportunity. By taking on these types of adventures in a foreign country, I gained a lot of self reliance and independence which is beneficial for whatever you do in life.
How can students interested in volunteering get the most out of their experience abroad?
Don't go into the country with a preconceived notion. Specifically with the Peace Corps, my sense is that you've already had that internal discussion with yourself of why you are volunteering, so when you get there, give it time. I had some friends that left early because things for them didn't work out right away. If you go abroad, you must take advantage of where you are, appreciate everything new around you, and find the humor in the daily challenges of being immersed in a new culture. . . you will enjoy yourself in the end.
I am proud that our university and dean have contributed resources to help make study and volunteer abroad opportunities more available for our students. I think that any international experience will help you in life and that the right time to do it is right after college. You have a lot more responsibility tying you down as you get older, so help yourself grow as a person and go on an adventure. Living abroad is not a limiting experience, it is a broadening one. You gain experience which changes your outlook on life, the way you think, and because of this more often than not, more doors become available for you to open. Everyone talks about a gap year nowadays and if you're going to have one out of college why not give it a higher purpose? I would do it all over again. Why not help others and yourself?

Oral Health
Diet and Lifestyle Considerations
A diet high in sugar and processed starches increases the risk of tooth decay and cavities (Touger-Decker 2003). This is because microbes including Streptococcus mutans (S. mutans) digest dietary carbohydrates and produce acids that erode tooth enamel (Mayo Clinic 2014a; Struzycka 2014). Fresh fruits and vegetables increase saliva flow, which helps wash food particles from teeth (Mayo Clinic 2014a), while eating foods that leave sugar in contact with teeth for long periods of time, such as sticky and gummy sweets, is thought to increase cavity risk (Mayo Clinic 2014a; Palacios 2009). Sugary sodas bathe the teeth in both acid and sugar and are therefore strong promoters of tooth decay (Kaplowitz 2011).
On the other hand, milk and milk products contain proteins that discourage the attachment of cavity-related bacteria to tooth surfaces (Johansson 2011), as well as phosphorus and calcium compounds that appear to promote remineralization of tooth enamel (Kaplowitz 2011; Palacios 2009). Studies have shown increased intake of calcium from dairy may be associated with lower risk of periodontal disease, and low dietary calcium intake is associated with more severe periodontal disease and tooth loss (Kulkarni 2014). In addition, rinsing with water or drinking unsweetened coffee or tea can help remove sugars from tooth surfaces (Mayo Clinic 2014a).
Vegetarians had better periodontal health than non-vegetarians in one controlled clinical trial (Staufenbiel 2013). In another study, men with the highest intake of whole grains had a 23% lower risk of periodontitis compared with men with the lowest whole grain intake (Merchant 2006).
Dental Hygiene
Brushing and flossing effectively remove plaque. Combined with regular dental care, brushing and flossing are critical for preventing cavities and periodontal disease (Struzycka 2014; Mayo Clinic 2014a). Tooth brushing at least twice daily is recommended to prevent tooth decay, with soft toothbrushes that cause less mechanical trauma to gum tissue generally preferred (Carvalho Rde 2007; Zimmer 2010; Mayo Clinic 2014a). Electric toothbrushes have been shown to outperform manual toothbrushes (Stoltze 1994; Hamerlynck 2005). Dental flossing, using either traditional string floss or a water flosser (eg, Waterpik), to clean between teeth is also important (Mayo Clinic 2014a; UMMC 2013). Several studies suggest water flossers, such as those manufactured by Waterpik, are superior to string floss for plaque removal and gum protection (Goyal 2013; Lyle 2012; Magnuson 2013). Home fluoride rinses, anti-bacterial rinses, and professionally applied fluoride treatments can also contribute to cavity prevention (Gluzman 2013; Mayo Clinic 2014a).
One study found that lack of physical activity is associated with poor periodontal health and increased risk of periodontal disease, while another large study found that higher levels of physical activity appear to protect against periodontal disease (Bawadi 2011; Merchant 2003). Preclinical and clinical research has shown that exercise reduces gingival oxidative stress and inflammation (Azuma 2011; Mendoza-Nunez 2014), which may contribute to improvements in periodontal health observed in older adults who engage in physical activity (Mendoza-Nunez 2014).

Amy Seimetz ("Alien: Covenant") has scored the female lead opposite Jason Clarke and John Lithgow in the new adaptation of Stephen King's novel "Pet Sematary" for Paramount Pictures.
The story follows a doctor (Clarke) who moves his family out of the big city to the country. He discovers that they have moved near a pet cemetery that resides next to an ancient American-Indian burial ground.
When the husband's toddler son is killed in an auto accident, the father takes the boy's body to the burial ground, where it is resurrected but is not quite right. Seimetz will play the doctor's wife, a role Denise Crosby played in the original 1989 film.
David Kajganich, Matt Greenberg and Jeff Buhler are penning the script and Kevin Kolsch and Dennis Widmyer ("Starry Eyes") are helming the film, while Lorenzo di Bonaventura, Steven Schneider and Mark Vahradian are producing.

Report: Paris Hilton To Visit Rwanda
Paris Hilton plans to visit Rwanda this November to raise awareness about child poverty. The service trip comes as part of Paris' image makeover following her brief stint in jail.
"The Simple Life" star told E! Online: "I'll be going in November, after I get back from filming my movie. There's so much need in that area, and I feel like if I go, it will bring more attention to what people can do to help."
Paris' Rwanda trip will be one of many service trips around the world. "I want to visit more countries where poverty and children's issues are a big concern," Hilton said. "I know there's a lot of good I can do just by getting involved and bringing attention to these issues."
And that is not all from the new altruistic Paris. The socialite said she plans to make her brand new Beverly Hills home more "green friendly." "I just bought the house and haven't been able to work on it yet," Paris Hilton, 26, informed E! Online. "But I intend to."
The socialite is currently in Toronto filming the horror flick "Repo! The Genetic Opera" from the director of the "Saw" films. "Repo!" takes place in the not-too-distant future, where an organ failure epidemic forces mankind to purchase internal parts through credit. Failure to pay for the expensive parts brings a visit from the wicked repo men.

The Campus Safety & Security Department provides patrols and service 24 hours a day, 365 days a year
Students who reside at Chanute Complex may call the Campus Safety & Security Department anytime. The department provides regular patrols to this facility and makes crime prevention services available to the residents.
Colleges across the country are concerned with making housing facilities as safe as possible. To do this, the University needs your help. It's everyone's responsibility to take security seriously.
Residents should ensure that they close and lock the exterior doors at all times. Never prop doors open or let strangers into the building. Always escort off-campus guests and report suspicious activity immediately to the Campus Safety & Security Department by calling 386-226-6480.
Residence halls are locations of constant activity, so if you notice a door is not closing or locking properly or that a light fixture is out, notify a University representative right away.
Housing facilities can be safe places if everyone works together.
Often the best protection you can provide for your valuables is not leaving them in an open and unattended location and by securing them when they are not in use. Some of the Residence Halls supply lockboxes in the rooms to secure items. Ask a member of the Housing staff.
The Campus Safety & Security Department has several services available to aid in theft prevention and recovery.
Most crimes that occur on campus involve the theft of property while left unattended. These are very often called "crimes of opportunity," where an offender was given the chance to commit the crime.
Crimes of opportunity are the most common crimes committed on campuses across the nation. It is important to note that no campus can guarantee a crime-free environment. However, steps can be taken to reduce the opportunity for crime and consequently, your chances of being a victim.
Always lock doors and keep property secure.

Two years ago today we said Yes to a lifetime together, not knowing what was ahead of us. We've been so surprised, in the best way, about how good marriage has been. When we were dating and engaged we heard over and over again about how hard marriage was, and while that can be true on some days or in some seasons, I want to also share how good marriage can be.
One of the most amazing things to me is the fact that I am a better person today than I was two years ago because of my marriage. Marriage is absolutely a refining process, and I am continually being shaped into a better version of myself on so many levels. I have a greater bank of patience now, I am a better communicator, problem solver, and compromiser. I see my strengths as well as my weaknesses more clearly, giving me a more accurate picture of myself. I am both simultaneously more grounded as well as a higher goal setter than I was before. My sense of "home" is no longer a place but a person. Thankful doesn't even begin to cut it when I think about the ways in which I've grown over these past two years.
Daniel and I have a long history of friendship, and our families go way back. We first met when we were five, and by the next time we saw each other at 12, we had developed heart-pounding crushes on each other. We grew up in different states and wouldn't start dating until after college (read more about our story here) so by the time we started dating, we were already on a first-name basis with each other's family pets and extended relatives. It was ideal and fairytale-like in so many ways. I was already loved by his family before there was any reason for them to like me, and vice versa. That history and friendship has been an incredible foundation for us, and I truly feel like I hit the in-law jackpot. We are well loved and supported by them, and since we live in Daniel's home state, my in-laws are my local family, and they feel more like immediate family.
One thing we learned in our pre-engagement class (which was one of the best things we've done as an investment in our marriage) was that 80% of conflicts couples face are unsolvable (meaning one person is a night owl while the other is an early bird, etc). No one you marry will be an exact clone of you on every level (thank goodness, right?). So, we knew that we were guaranteed differences and conflict, but if we could learn how to embrace them and work through conflict in a healthy, constructive way, it would serve us well for a lifetime. The point wasn't to avoid conflict, but to communicate and draw closer to each other through it. That has been our strategy and it has been an incredible mindset shift for us. We both continue to learn how to fight fairly and I think we will continue to learn about conflict resolution for the rest of our lives.
Daniel and I are each other's number one fan. When we had to evacuate Lake Chelan a few weeks ago because of the fires, I asked Daniel on the drive home what would he grab first if he were really in a fire, to see what his most prized possessions were. And he calmly and seriously said, "You. If I didn't have anything else, I would be ok." And I feel the same way. He is my number one, my can't live without, grab first in a fire, most treasured survival item.
Happy two years, Daniel. Proud to be yours.

Sen. Joe ManchinJoseph (Joe) ManchinGOP signals unease with Barr's gun plan READ: Trump administration memo on background checks NRA says Trump administration memo a 'non-starter' MORE (D-W.Va.) is calling for a Senate hearing on a proposed merger between Canadian Pacific Railway and Norfolk Southern, which he has dubbed a "Wall Street takeover" of a prominent U.S. freight company.
Calgary-based Canadian Pacific Railway has been making overtures to Virginia-based Norfolk Southern about a potential combination it says would "create a truly transcontinental railroad to better serve customers and the economy."
Manchin, a member of the Senate Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee, on Tuesday said the proposed merger "is an attempt by a Wall Street titan to purchase and dismantle an American rail company that has provided jobs for hundreds of West Virginians."
He called on lawmakers in the Senate to investigate the proposed combination, which he said "creates real and present dangers to hardworking people of West Virginia."
"We can't get any specifics from Hunter Harrison or Bill Ackman about where the $1.8 billion will come from in this deal with Norfolk Southern, but we know the harm they have done at Canadian Pacific," Manchin said in a statement.
"I'm calling for a Commerce Committee investigation into this merger because I want to ask Hunter Harrison what they are going to invest in, what they are going to build, and how they are going to help the people and the communities of our state," Manchin continued.
"West Virginia cannot afford a corporate partner more focused on short-term gains for stockholders than the hard-working men and women who show up to work every day. In this economy, I'm going to fight to protect every single West Virginian job I can."
Canadian Pacific has said it is "confident that a CP-NS combination would secure regulatory approval as a seamless coast-to-coast single-haul service benefits shippers, the industry and the public, and would generate tremendous shareholder value."
Norfolk Southern has rejected previous offers from Canadian Pacific, saying its board of directors "has unanimously determined that your latest revised proposal is grossly inadequate, creates substantial regulatory risks and uncertainties that are highly unlikely to be overcome, and is not in the best interest of the Company and its shareholders."
Manchin's office said Tuesday that the senator wants to put the brakes on the potential merger for good.
"Sen. Manchin is insisting that the details of this merger be thoroughly reviewed by the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation before any element of this transaction is allowed to proceed," the senator's office said.
"Canadian Pacific Railway's attempt to acquire Norfolk Southern is troubling because of Canadian Pacific Railway's history of cutting jobs to increase investor profits," Manchin's office continued.
"For years, Norfolk Southern has been committed not just to its shareholders, but to its employees and to the West Virginia communities it serves. Norfolk Southern currently employs 990 people and supports 430 retirees in the Mountain State."

Why Should You Choose a Full-Service Dentist?
Of course, you remember the Cary, IL dentists who cleaned your teeth and filled your cavities, but dental offices have expanded their horizons. Many of them are now offering full-service dental care which can be an advantage to you and your family. Think about how easy and convenient it would be to be able to have all your dental needs met by a dentist who can clean and seal your children's teeth and provide you with cosmetic dental services as well.
General Dentistry Services
When you are considering a full-service dental practice, the following is a list of the general services they should offer:
* Cleanings
* Preventative check-ups
* Fluoride treatments
* Sealants
They should also provide restorative services such as:
* Fillings
* Bridges
* Crowns
* Cracked or broken tooth repair
Cosmetic Services
This is where a full-service dental practice shines. Instead of having to visit two or three offices, you only need to visit one where you have developed a relationship with your dentist. It makes it much more pleasant to have procedures done when you are in a place where you feel safe and have established rapport with the dentists and staff there. Cosmetic services that are typically provided can include:
* Teeth whitening
* Veneers
* Dentures
* Braces/Invisalign
* Bonding for stained or chipped teeth
* Implants
* Tooth removal when necessary
It used to require a trip to an orthodontist for braces, now you can have it all in one place. Today's dental practices have advanced by leaps and bounds over the past years and you can reap the benefits of that. One of the things you need to be certain of is that any dentist you are considering is properly licensed and that he or she has a reputation for being skilled in all aspects of dentistry. At Cary Dental Associates, LLC, the dentists and staff are extremely well-versed in all areas and can provide you with a gorgeous smile.

Some people are healthy, and then some people just like pain. My husband is one such pain inflicting health nut. He does things like take shots of apple cider vinegar – straight – with no chaser – grin and bear it. He also drinks a glass of Chia Seeds every night. He once tried to get me to drink a glass and I COULD NOT. He sat across the kitchen counter from me and watched like a disapproving coach over my inability to toughen up and drink the goop. I kept gaging into the sink and he had no sympathy for me, just pure disapproval. The thing about chia seeds is the longer you wait the more they absorb the water and the more dense and glue-like they become. It's made to weed out the weak, survival of the fittest. If you can't gag it down fast enough you're out of the game because nobody can get down pure concrete. Most people soak them and throw them into a smoothie, not Trever, he wants to feel the pain of health.
The thing is, if you can get them down you should. Their main benefits are protein, fiber, calcium and omega 3&6 fatty acids, plus a HUGE amount of antioxidants. First, the antioxidants are known to fight cancer and premature aging. The fiber keeps your digestive system moving aiding in colon health, and balances insulin, a necessary component for our high sugar American diets. There are host of reasons why inflammation is hard on our bodies, and it's a chronic problem due to the way we eat. I've been doing a lot of research on anti-inflammatory diets so I'll probably discuss later, but for now this is a really helpful way to balance things out. The calcium is crucial for bone health and a necessary dietary element for vegans. Remember the nice visual I gave you earlier of chia seeds soaking up so much water that you have to down it like a frat boy before it becomes a solid mass? Well this lovely water absorption quality is actually really helpful in your digestive system, because it prolongs hydration and promotes nutrient absorption, great for before a workout. It essentially does what a sports drink does without the sugar. Also a vain side effect– it helps reduce belly fat.
So there are a lot of recipes online for chia seed pudding, which is a way of tricking yourself into thinking you're eating a weird dessert when it's just maj healthy. Some recipes will put you in the casket, others are amazing...as puddings go. I have made both. Some recipes tell you that it only takes thirty minutes to become like pudding, but if you're using milk then it takes around 4 hours, or overnight (dairy milk takes longer). Honey is absolutely essential to this pudding's survival, just get it in there, lots of honey. I did several versions, some with dairy free milk, some with cow's milk to get the benefits from the fat, and they both worked well. Note: if you're the type that gags looking at rice pudding, just walk away, this isn't for you.
Blueberry Coconut Chia Seed Pudding
½ cup almond milk // ½ cup coconut milk // 1 tbsp. coconut shavings // 2 tbsp. chia seeds // blueberries // honey
Place milk, coconut, honey and chia seeds in a glass and stir until honey dissolves (you can sub this for agave if you prefer, it would mix in better) and cover, store in the fridge overnight. Remove from fridge and drizzle more honey and add bluberry's to top.
Vanilla Cinnamon Chia Seed Pudding
½ cup full fat cow's milk // ½ cup almond milk // 2 tbsp. chia seeds // ½ tsp. cinnamon // ¼ tsp. vanilla // honey
Place all ingredients in a glass, stir, cover and store in the fridge overnight. Add some extra cinnamon and honey for good measure and enjoy!

Not long ago I was looking over my expenses when I had a financial epiphany of sorts. It was about the true retirement costs of my spending habits.
I recently wrote a post about how I'm going broke from eating out. In that post I tried to quantify just how expensive my +$6,000 per year dining out habit really is, and this is what I came up with: not only do I spend over $6,000 per year eating out, but maintaining that habit in retirement means that I need to boost retirement accounts by $150,000.

Jackson's Thriller is based on Burns, says friend
The King of Pop and the Ploughman Poet may have lived hundreds of years and thousands of miles apart, but both had colourful lives, untimely deaths and an ear for a catchy ditty. And so it is perhaps less strange than it first seems that Michael Jackson was a fan of Robert Burns and recorded an album inspired by his work.
The producer David Gest, a close friend of the late singer who collaborated with him on the project, has now offered to give the music to the Robert Burns Birthplace Museum. Gest, the former husband of Liza Minnelli and a contestant on I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here, visited the museum during a recent trip to Scotland.
In 1996, the multimillionaire staged…

Can Microsoft Get Back Into the Mobile Game by Acquiring Nokia?
Monday, October 7, 2013 - Post a Comment
While previously most technology news was dominated by Microsoft and Bill Gates, that isn't the truth anymore. That news now sees what they are called of Samsung and Apple while technology has migrated to mobile devices. Microsoft appears to be changing that by placing plan in motion to acquire one-time mobile phone giant Nokia. Will reintroducing themselves to the mobile game change lives for the one-time tech leader?
Nokia already stood a name for themselves in the cellphone business. They were early pioneers and at once had the best-selling cell phone of all time. Much of that changed using the introduction of Apple's iPhone. Nokia continued to dominate the market, having its closet competitor being Microsoft's Windows Mobile, but 12 months later Apple's mobile system pulled before Microsoft and cut into Nokia's lead. Microsoft experimented with regain what you lost by revamping their mobile operating system, however it simply wasn't enough to overtake Apple and Samsung, who was simply quickly rising with this market, enough to overtake Nokia and its lead.
Is Microsoft too late to get Nokia now? Can Microsoft get back in the mobile game using the addition of Nokia's mobile business?
Note: There is a poll embedded on this post, check out the site to participate with this post's poll.
Here are the results of last week's poll:
More than a third of the responding believe wearable technology will be the next big thing, while somewhat under thirty percent think it is interesting, but that's as far as they're prepared to go with it. Twenty percent aren't interested on this at all, figuring wearable technology is simply a fad that will soon be forgotten, and also the remainder are waiting to see what other tech products they'll produce to be worn.

The following is a collection of my education related stories. While in college, I found that reporting on education was a passion of mine and began seeking those stories.
Kentucky lacks college degrees, ranks low in adult education
wku re(a)D | May 13, 2016
The clock ticked to 3 p.m. on a cool Saturday afternoon. Bradley Moore's room door in his grandparents' basement remained shut, a sign that he was still sleeping despite the late hour. It isn't closer to dinner time that he emerges, saying little between bites until he retreats back to his room where he'll spend the rest of the evening playing video games.
Bradley, 19, recently graduated from East Carter County High School in Carter County, Kentucky and has since decided to not pursue college.

Program seeks to keep students college-bound
Louisville Courier-journal | July 9, 2015
After years of long hours at a factory job, high school dropout Miriam Eleazar realized that going back to school was the only way to make her life better.
She completed her GED and now, as a 26-year-old freshman at Jefferson Community and Technical College, she is making sure other students don't slip through the cracks on their way to college.

New regent has long history on the Hill
Wooden shelves, their contents mostly packed into the cardboard boxes in front of them, line one of the walls in Barbara Burch's office, located at the former FaCET house on Chestnut Street.
Burch herself, wrapped in a dark colored shawl, is shuffling papers around and trying to navigate through the growing sea of boxes surrounding her desk and round wooden table adjacent to the ceiling-high shelves.
"I'm moving to Gary Ransdell Hall, room 110," Burch said.

Lincoln, McGary alumni, community press case for academically troubled schools
Evansville Courier & Press | July 18, 2014
For the students who attend Lincoln Elementary and McGary Middle schools, for their parents and teachers who work at them, those schools provide a sense of community, of passion and pride. The scores that students at the schools achieve on state-mandated tests matter to their alumni, staff and community, but for them the schools are about more than academics.

Self care suggestions for the weary change agent - Part Two: Ease your mind
It my belief that whether we wish to change our organization, family, culture, or world, we must first be willing to change ourselves.
While healthy eating and exercise habits are essential to supporting this change, when we choose to consider the best use for our minds as well is when we really see some dramatic shifts in our lives.
Science is slowly confirming not only the connection between our bodies and our minds but also between our minds and our resilience in the face of life's challenges. (When I was fledgling holistic health practitioner, I read an incredible book written well before its time about the science of the mind-body connection called Molecules of Emotion by neuroscientist and pharmacologist Candace Pert.)
Because any of us who seek change will face challenges, once again I'd like to offer some suggestions based upon my own experiences for you to take as you see fit, as well as some resources for continuing your exploration if you wish.
Part Two: Ease your mind
Create great space. As an artist, naturally I believe wholeheartedly that beauty is essential to wellbeing. While enjoying breathtaking landscapes is one way to tap into this resource, the impact that the spaces we live and work in every day have on us is best not overlooked. You don't need to spend lots of money on beautiful items to be happy in your surroundings, you can start with just cleaning out the clutter. One person making this more accessible is Marie Kondo (I haven't read her books yet but in general I think Westerners could learn much from Eastern cultures in regards to valuing our spaces).
Practice non-doing. Speaking of Eastern traditions, this is one that seems to be slowly seeping its way into our culture, likely because ours values doing to such an extreme (and at great cost in my opinion). If you find meditation too daunting, you can try simple mindfulness practices like noticing your breath while you're stopped at traffic lights. There are countless resources for tools and assistance, but my favorite people providing them right now are Tara Brach and Gabrielle Bernstein.
Practice conscious doing. In parallel, using time consciously can make a world of difference in the quality of our lives. Again this is very simple: doing only one thing at a time, making conscious commitments, setting realistic deadlines, protecting time for fun and vacation, etc. One of the very best tools for making day-to-day decisions in a conscious way is Danielle LaPorte's Desire Map.
Cultivate a healthy relationship to information and media. I realize that you are on some sort of screen reading this website right now, so of course I am an advocate for media as a means for acquiring information and for information as a tool for awareness and power. Still, personally, I know I spend so much time at my desk that I need to not only put my devices away during meals and well before bedtime, but I also want to reserve at least one entire day per month for me to turn off all my devices completely. On the flip side, I love to read books and watch films that I know are contributing to my joy and wellbeing. Maria Popova's Brain Pickings provides an excellent curated list of enriching texts every week.
Cultivate a healthy relationship to money. This above all I choose to keep very simple. I regularly record what I earn and spend, I periodically recalibrate my spending plan while doing my best to stick to it, and most importantly I give thanks for and enjoy what I earn and purchase. Frankly I've been surprised how much doing just those few things has made a difference when it comes to my peace of mind. Two wonderful people who support women in their relationship to money are Barbara Stanny and Kate Northrup.
Focus on the journey, not the destination. All of the suggestions above have certainly helped me improve the quality of my life, but it's worth noting that changing my habits made me feel uncomfortable at first. Two of my favorite leaders when it comes to exploring the mystery and meaning of the human journey are psychiatrist Carl Jung and mythologist Joseph Campbell, both of whom used imagery to do so. One very easy visual tool that helps call attention to all of the ups and downs of our journeys is a feelings wheel.
Use adversity. In short, even if we live in gorgeous Colorado (like I do), frequently meditate, take regular vacations from social media, pay our bills on time, and are aware of when we feel like we are about to blow our lids, stress will continue to be part of our lives and there will always be many choices available for how to respond to it. I have found that if I stay with my experience, I'm far more "lucky." I may eventually stumble into a perspective that allows me to laugh at the sheer silliness of it all. Or, even better, I may grow in my compassion for others. Two people who continue to teach me about this are the writer/artist SARK and the buddhist nun Pema Chodron.
Developing a resilient mind is a skill, just like caring for a healthy body is, and they are both commitments that we cannot carry out alone. We need other people who can offer us invaluable objectivity, experience, insight, tools, courage, and compassion. Part three of this blog series will be all about who those people might be and how to best benefit from them.

He began his training at Minnesota State University, Mankato and quickly realized that a career in aviation had many more possibilities than he had originally dreamed. Although there is nothing like soaring above the clouds, his favorite part is undoubtedly the people that make this career path so amazing. His mentors, colleagues, flight-training friends, and ACE Camp family are all inspiring relationships. Currently Coby has been gaining his experience and sharing his knowledge as a flight instructor at Minnesota State University, Mankato and has recently accepted a job as a First Officer for Compass Airlines. His favorite part of ACE is getting to share his excitement of flying with the students. Seeing young minds get excited after the incredible experiences during ACE Camp has become a simple reminder to Coby just how fun aviation life can be. Through college, flight training, extra curricular activities and programs such as ACE Camp Coby has gained a true passion for the industry. He is extremely grateful for the training and relationships he has formed along the way and is incredibly excited to see where the journey leads him next. Coby has been a counselor since 2015.

The Strong Woman Trap
Are you the one who saves the day at work? Does your family expect you to do it all when you get home? Perhaps you used to like being thought of as reliable, but you long for a life of your own again—one with fewer emergency circumstances and people who need lots of "help."
It isn't just you. Lots of women have been socialized to quietly pick up the slack and not complain—this is a set-up for isolation, second guessing, and waiting for rewards that never come.
The Strong Woman Trap takes a hard look at the cultural beliefs that set strong, driven, ambitious women up for a life spent constantly saving others from themselves, filling in gaps, and going it alone like a hybrid of Wonder Woman and Working Girl.
We are playing too hard at a rigged game that we didn't create. We spend our energies managing demands and treat our own emotions and needs as irrelevant.
This book is for the women who spend their spare moments looking wistfully through magazines telling themselves their dreams are just one more personal sacrifice away.
If you read Lean In by Sheryl Sandberg and wondered just how much farther you had to lean, this book is for you.
Wishes won't get you there. Neither will doubling down on old strategies.
What will get you there is learning the secrets to escaping The Strong Woman Trap.
Praise For The Strong Woman Trap

Everyone regardless if they are injured or handicapped will encounter some limitations. The key is, knowing how to maximize your capabilities with in whatever your body will allow you to do. A lot of people forget that in any act of self-defense you could receive an injury that could cost you the use of an arm or a leg making it much more challenging. In just about every martial arts system there is at least one thing that almost all masters have in common. Their movements are often small but have a huge effect on their opponents, just as long as you can move even if it is just a little. Even the master's move no more then what is necessary to get the job done and is often that of small and subtle movements. Let us share with you how you can do this as well. Remember it takes practice.

Ross as Educational "Museum"/
The fifth graders journeyed to the Upper School last week to look at reproductions of art as part of their studies on ancient Sumer.
In the fifth grade, students begin to explore the development of civilizations that arose around river ecologies in Egypt, Mesopotamia, the Indus River Valley, Southwest Eurasia, and the Americas. To supplement their learning about these cultures, the students examined a replica of the stele featuring the Law Code of Hammurabi that stands in the lobby of the Senior Thesis Building.
Upper School cultural history teacher Terry Lichtenstein offered insight into the sculpture, asking the students to look closely at the detailed carvings and think about the meanings behind them. Hammurabi was a First Dynasty king in the city-state of Babylon, an ancient city-states on the Mesopotamian plain. He is known for the set of laws called Hammurabi's Code, one of the first written codes of law in recorded history. The sculpture features an image of King Hammurabi receiving the laws from Shamash, the sun god. The laws, written in cuneiform, are inscribed beneath the two figures.
After close observation and note taking, the students followed Terry to her classroom for a short art history lesson, reminiscent of a college-style class with slides and open discussion. Passing more sculpture reproductions and paintings en route, one student proclaimed, "Ross is a huge art museum!"
Once the class was seated, Terry talked about polytheism in ancient Mesopotamia and showed an image of the Victory Stele of Naram-Sin, who was the first Mesopotamian king known to have claimed divinity for himself. "This is really about celebrating power, the power of the king," Terry explained. "How do we know that he is the king?" she asked the class. "He's much taller," answered one student. "He's wearing a crown," offered another. The stele depicts Naram-Sin's triumph over a chief and his people.
"I really enjoy learning this," said Schuyler VanTassel at the end of the lesson. "I'm pretty excited to learn about the Sumerians and Egyptians."

"Somewhere over the rainbow, skies are blue, and the dreams that you dare to dream really do come true." --E.Y. Harburg
I'm a dreamer. It's true. Perhaps it's a part of the reason that I love to create as I can take an idea(s) and make them come true on the surface of a canvas. As in this painting "Somewhere", available by clicking:HERE. I also believe that there are plans and purposes for our lives and when we connect with the Creator they are revealed to us as the desires of our hearts. They do come true, so dream on!
Delight thyself also in the Lord; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart. Psalm 37:4

Welcome to our smart home
The journey through our home
Welcome! We'll walk you through a tour of our house to show you how we enjoy the smart life. The first thing you'll see is a smart lock - with a swipe of a thumb, entering a code or press of a button on our phone, the door will unlock and greets you.
We designed a "feature wall" that faces you the moment the door is opened, and the ombré blue wall ushers you in.
The dining table
After entering the house, the first thing you'll see is our dining table. We placed it beside the couch in the living room to maximise our use of space.
The dining table is also right beside the window. This means good, natural lighting for reading and writing in the day.
The living room
To the right of the dining table we laid out our sofa, which faces the TV console.
And here's where it gets "smart". Say "Ok Google, turn on the downlights", and the living room immediately brightens. You can also tell Google to play your favourite song, and the room will start to fill with music.
Movie time?
Just tell Alexa or Google Home to activate the living room blinds and it'll create perfect movie lighting.
It's also possible to tell Google Home what you want to watch on Netflix, and the television will power up and play the movie.
Need to take a break?
If you feel hungry as you watch your film, it's simple enough to pause it. Just say, "Ok Google, pause Netflix."
If it's dark and you need to turn on the lights in the kitchen, just tell Google or Alexa to turn the lights on.
The breakfast counter
While you're seated on the sofa, just look to the right and you'll see the breakfast counter.
The breakfast counter, under feature lights (which use tungsten bulbs mainly for dramatic effect) acts as a visual "separator" to demarcate the kitchen.
You can watch TV from the breakfast counter too, how convenient.
The kitchen
Walk past the breakfast counter, and you'll enter the "open concept" kitchen.
The kitchen isn't big by any means, but using all-glass sliding doors (with a metal frame) helped make the space feel bigger. Instead of a wall, we used the breakfast counter as a visual separator to demarcate the space.
In our kitchen you'll find our washing machine, gas clothes dryer (read our guide and review here) and gas water heater (read our guide and review here). These appliances aren't "smart" devices because they're not internet-connected. But they're definitely smart decisions that improve our lives.
We also use a gas stove and a simple fridge - ordinary appliances that are essential if you cook.
Hidden behind white cupboards are all our crockery and cooking ingredients. Cupboards with doors make all the difference in making a house look neat (as opposed to shelves).
The bedroom
Of course, we designed the house so that the convenience extends to the bedroom.
Let's say you've just washed up and gotten into bed but realise, oh no, you've forgotten to turn the lights off again. In our house, you can just say, "Ok Google, good night."
"Good night," the trusty home assistant replies.
And you'll see three things happening at once, all by themselves:
The warm lights in the room gently dim. You see the city lights glowing outside the window. The hubbub of urban life.
You hear the motors in the blinds whir softly, and you watch as the cream coloured blinds shut out the bright city lights. You feel all ready to sleep.
One last thing - the climate. The air conditioner lets you know it's been activated with two beeps. Cool air fills the room. Before you know it, you've fallen asleep.
In the morning
We've programmed the house to wake us up on weekday mornings. At 7.30am, like clockwork, the blinds will open and the alarm will ring. The influx of morning light never fails to wake us up. We've also programmed the air conditioner to automatically turn off, using an IR blaster. That's how we know when it's definitely time to get up. After washing up, if necessary, we can just ask Google Home what's on your calendar that day.
A strange sort of daily ritual we have is to pack up the house a little bit before leaving. We have to remember to pick up anything that's fallen to the ground or our robot vacuum, which is automatically programmed to clean the house daily, might get stuck or knock it around.
The toilet
When you enter the toilet from the bedroom, what will strike you first is the amount of natural light.
Natural light does wonders for a toilet - it makes it feel cleaner and enlarges the space. Of course, for privacy, closing the automated blinds is just a voice command away.
We also love our shower ledge, which allows to to place all our washing products conveniently in an aesthetically pleasing way.
But perhaps our favourite smart home component of the toilet is our smart toilet seat. It's an automated Japanese toilet seat that features a deodoriser, an automatic washing system and even varying levels of water pressure and heat.
It's something that you never knew you needed so much until you've tried it. You can read our review of our automated Japanese toilet seat here.
Find out more
We hope you've enjoyed the tour of our house. But this isn't the end. We've also written a feature on what a smart house does. You can read more on Part 2 of our tour of our house - what does a smart home do?
