Our Program
GOTR of Greater Detroit runs separate programs for girls in different grade levels at school, one program for 3rd-5th grades and distinct program for 6th-8th grades (called Heart & Sole), so we can focus our curricula to the most appropriate social development areas.
So what does Girls on the Run do?
One girl put it this way, "I learned that I am the boss of my brain." Girls on the Run inspires girls to take charge of their lives and define the future on their terms. It's a place where girls learn that they can. No limits. No constraints. Only opportunities to be remarkable.
How do we do it?
Lots of ways, but we start with helping the girls get a better understanding of who they are and what's important to them. Then we look at the role of teams and healthy relationships. And, finally, we explore how girls can positively connect with and shape the world.
And remember, we believe that life-changing experiences can be fun too—for everyone—the girls, coaches, families and other volunteers. So don't be surprised when you hear laughter along with self-reflection and see beaming smiles across the beautiful, confident faces of our girls.
Me + Relationships + Community
Meeting twice a week in small teams of 8-16 girls, we teach life skills through fun, engaging lessons that celebrate the joy of movement. The 20-lesson curriculum is taught by certified Girls on the Run® coaches and includes three parts: understanding ourselves, valuing relationships and teamwork and understanding how we connect with and shape the world at large. Over the course of the program, girls will develop and improve competence, feel confidence in who they are, develop strength of character, respond to others and oneself with care and compassion, create positive connections with peers and adults, and make a meaningful contribution to community and society.
Power through Service
Acknowledging that accomplishment has many flavors, each team creates and executes a local community service project. This experience demonstrates to girls the unimaginable strength that comes from helping others.
Up and Running
At each season's conclusion, the girls and their running buddies complete a 5k running event. In some cities this is a large, community wide event and in others, it's an inspiring gathering of friends and family. Completing a 5k gives the girls a tangible sense of achievement as well as a framework for setting and achieving life goals. The results are the same—making the seemingly impossible, possible.
Simple, engaging and extraordinary. The result? Healthy, confident girls who can.
Girls on the Run: Our 3rd-5th Grade Program
Over a period of 10 weeks, girls in the 3rd through 5th grade participate in an after-school program like no other. Designed to allow every girl to recognize her inner strength, the Girls on the Run curriculum inspires girls to define their lives on their own terms. Throughout the season, the girls make new friends, build their confidence and celebrate all that makes them unique.
The Girls on the Run lessons encourage positive emotional, social, mental and physical development. Participants explore and discuss their own beliefs around experiences and challenges girls face at this age. They also develop important strategies and skills to help them navigate life experiences. We start with helping the girls get a better understanding of who they are and what's important to them. Then, we look at the importance of team work and healthy relationships. And, finally, the girls explore how they can positively connect with and shape the world.
Physical activity is woven into our program to inspire an appreciation of fitness and to build habits that lead to a lifetime of health. At the end of each three month session, the girls participate in a Girls on the Run 5k event. This celebratory, non-competitive event is the culminating experience of the curriculum. Completing the 5k gives the girls a tangible understanding of the confidence that comes through accomplishment as well as a framework for setting and achieving life goals. Crossing the finish line is a defining moment when the girls realize that even the seemingly impossible IS possible.
Heart & Sole: Our 6th-8th Grade Program
Today's middle-school girls face many challenges and obstacles that can affect their emotional and physical well-being. The Heart & Sole curriculum is designed to address these challenges by empowering them to make thoughtful and healthy decisions. Like Girls on the Run, the Heart & Sole curriculum is delivered over the course of 10 and addresses the societal, mental and emotional challenges particular to their age.
Like the Girls on the Run curricula, we begin by encouraging the girls to examine and better understand who they are and what's important to them. Once they have a deeper awareness of their individual values, we look at the role of teams and healthy relationships. Lastly, the girls explore how they can positively connect with and shape the world.
The curriculum allows for more mature processing around certain topics including eating disorders, internet safety, relationships, cyber-bullying and tobacco and alcohol use. The girls discuss these subjects on an in-depth level and use their personal experiences to shape thought-provoking discussion. The Heart & Sole curriculum provides girls with the skills to shut out the noise of the external world that is attempting to limit who she is and to instead listen to her individual truth – the one that will lead her toward an enriching and contented life.
Running is also incorporated into the curriculum. We use physical activity to inspire and motivate girls throughout the program, to encourage lifelong health and fitness, and most importantly, to build confidence through accomplishment. At the end of each season, the girls and their running buddies complete a 5k running event which gives the girls a tangible sense of achievement as well as a framework for setting and achieving life goals. This culminating celebratory 5k event is a transformative moment when the girls realize that even the seemingly impossible IS possible.
Girls on the Run International has evaluated program efficacy since 2002 when Rita Debate, Ph.D., MPH, CHES, developed a formal evaluation tool entitled "Girls on the Run: An Assessment of Self-Esteem, Body Image and Eating Attitudes."Several preliminary descriptive and quasi-experimental studies have been conducted since that time – specific information and findings are included below.
2011 Academic Evaluation
2007 Academic Evaluation
2006 Academic Evaluation
2005 Academic Evaluation
2002 Academic Evaluation
Phase I: Pilot Study
A pilot assessment of Girls on the Run was implemented in 2002 using a one group pre-post-test design.[1]Girls on the Run program participants from 28 program sites (n=322) in 5 geographic areas representing a range of metropolitan areas and SES were assessed. A self-report survey including the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale[2], the child/adolescent version of the Silhouette Ratings Scale[3], and an adapted version of the Children's Eating Attitudes Test (ChEAT)[4] was used to assess self-esteem, body size satisfaction, and eating attitudes and behaviors. Pre- to post-test improvements were significant (p<.05) for self-esteem, eating attitudes and behaviors, and body size satisfaction.
Phase II: Preliminary Study.
Building upon the pilot study, a more expansive study was implemented in2005 using a convenience sample of 20 councils representing four geographic areas using a non-experimental, single-group pre-post- intervention design of Girls on the Run and Girls on Track (n=1034).[5, 6] Participants completed a self-report survey including the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale[2] to assess global self-esteem, the child/adolescent version of the Schematic Figural Scale[3] to assess body image, one question from the 2005 Youth Risk Behavior Survey[7] to assess vigorous physical activity frequency, and an adapted version of the Commitment to Physical Activity Scale (CPAS).[8] Statistically significant pre-post improvements (p>.01) occurred for self-esteem, body size satisfaction, and vigorous physical activity frequency within the last week.[9] An increase in overall commitment to PA also occurred as well as a decrease in negative attitudes towards PA. Both before and after the intervention, vigorous PA frequency was significantly correlated to PA commitment (p<0.01).[8]
When stratified by number of times participating in the program, first time participants saw significant (p<.01) gains in self-esteem, body size satisfaction, commitment to physical activity, and PA frequency. Similarly, second time participants had significant increases in self-esteem, body size satisfaction, and PA frequency. Girls who participated in the program three or more times did not show any significant changes from pre- to post-intervention.[9] When stratified by age (≤10 years old; >11 years) both groups had statistically significant pre- to post-intervention differences (p<.01) in self-esteem, body size satisfaction, and PA frequency. Older girls also had increased commitment to PA.[9] Results indicated two key findings. First, participation in the Girls on the Run and Girls on Track programs observed increases in commitment to be physically active; this is particularly important because commitment is an important determinant of long-term physical activity maintenance.[10-12]Second, findings indicated age-related differences in physical activity commitment scores. More specifically, pre-intervention commitment scores were lower among older girls compared to those ≤10 years of age. However, physical activity commitment scores significantly increased from pre- to post- intervention in 11-15 year old girls. These results are valuableas physical activity declines in girls occur as early as late elementary school. Results from this study werepresented at the annual meetings for the American Public Health Association, Eating Disorders Research Society, Society for Behavioral Medicine, and the American Academy of Health Behavior.
Phase III:
Quasi-experimental study. A longitudinal quasi-experimental study was implemented in 2009 to evaluate Girls on the Run intervention effects among 877 participants categorized into one of three groups (never, newly, and previously exposed to the intervention). A 64-item self-report survey measured participant psychological and physical assets at three time-points. Nested random effects ANOVA models were used to compare demographic factors and psychological and physical assets between exposure groups and to compare longitudinal differences in these developmental assets. After adjustment for multiple comparisons, previous program participants had significantly higher physical activity commitment (p<.01) and physical activity levels (p<.05) at pre-intervention than never exposed. From pre- to post-intervention body image improved in never and newly exposed participants, which persisted through follow-up in the comparison group. Physical activity increased from pre-intervention to follow-up among never and newly exposed participants (all p<.05).
Phase IV:
Longitudinal study. Drs. Maureen Weiss and Rita DeBateare in the process of developing a rigorous and longitudinal study design to determine the effectiveness of Girls on the Run having a significant positive effect on positive youth development outcomes, including physical (activity frequency, intensity, duration), psychological (e.g., body image, self-esteem, intrinsic motivation), and social assets (e.g., positive adult and peer relationships, resistance to peer pressure to engage in risky behaviors) and health promoting behaviors and outcomes.

Real estate. I am an real estate investor. I have rental properties. Something on the side, something my wife and I do on the weekends. I am a firm believe in real estate as an asset class for many reasons:
- Everyone needs housing
- Real estate gives you leverage because banks will loan you money
- Real estate values tend to increase with inflation
- Interest rates are at a multi-decade low
- If done correctly it is passive income
- It is tax advantages because of depreciation
- It is an imperfect market (unlike stocks), so you can find good deals
- It is a people business; real estate people are willing to share
- From our experience, it is a solid way to get 8% annually
Real estate can teach you. From real estate you can learn so many things – negotiations, sales, marketing, accounting, and finance. Many of the wealthiest people invested in real estate. No surprise. It works. Time helps your money grow.
Bigger Pockets.com. This is a website, forum where thousands of investors share their experiences and wisdom. There are also 80+ podcasts where successful investors share their stories – good, bad, and ugly. You can learn an enormous amount on these podcasts. This is the type of learning that will help you retire 10 years earlier.
There are numerous real estate books, but don't overlook this website, forum, and podcasts. It is a free resource and excellent. Some good podcasts to get you started.

Brands have a lot of options in getting their message out today. From traditional print and television to the oftentimes unrealized benefits of social media, the landscape for promoting messages has never been more lush. What hasn't changes in all this, however is the importance of connecting with the right brain of the audience. Regardless of what a brand communicates, the audience will remember more about HOW they felt in the experience than the actual details.
For instance, say your company is a law firm and you believe that customers only want to know the facts about your history, how many cases you've closed, your specialized practice and the firm bios. While all that is important, what will cause someone to take action is most often an association with a feeling experience they had while viewing the website, the posts on your social media platforms or the "about us" in the profile.
Identifying the key emotional triggers (KET) of your audience allows you the opportunity to connect with them more deeply. In the case of the law firm, let's say the clients want to feel secure and confident. While the pedigrees of the partners can communicate that with the left side of the brain, the right side wants to FEEL it. What images, concepts and words will get that message across? What testimonials from others allows them to experience and aspire for that connection?
To know the emotional dynamic of your customer is to create a brand world that they will want to re-visit and embrace. While the opportunities for connection have grown leaps and bounds, the human dynamic of aspiration remain the same.

Abstract : Synthetic molecular receptors are of interest as tools for the selective detection of ions and molecules and as mimics of biological systems. One part of this project focuses on the use of cholic acid, a readily available steroid natural product, as the basic design element of new molecular receptors for the complexation of neutral organic molecules. Cholic acid is ideally suited to this task since, (1) it possesses a rigid hydrocarbon framework upon which hydrogen-bonding groups (hydroxyls) are appended in an orientation suitable for bonding to substrates, and (2) considerably less synthetic effort is required to build a large receptor molecule than in the case of molecular receptors designed in an ab initio fashion. Molecular receptors are constructed from two cholic acid groups linked by a diamine group. The diamine linking groups under study include simple aromatic diamines providing a rigid spacer, diamines with additional ligating groups such as phenolate and carboxylate for ion-pairing with partially charged substrates, and diamines containing indicators or metal ions (p-nitrophenol, ferrocene, metal-salen complex). Substrates under study include simple diols and triols (ethylene glycol, glycetol), sugars (glucose, ribose), and amino-sugars (glucosamine). Results of these studies will lead to a better understanding of hydrogen bonding in non-polar solvents and to the development of chemical sensors for neutral polar molecules. A second area of the project involves design and synthesis of dinucleating ligands capable of binding two transition metal ions for catalysis of hydrolytic reactions. The complexes utilize a disfunctional mechanism to both coordinate and activate a carbonyl or phosphoryl oxygen in a lewis acid sense, as well as binding and activating a water molecule.

"I christen you Nemesis," he said.
The first time Frank mounted Nemesis and kicked her over she spluttered, but neither caught nor died. The petrol feed? Frank leaned over to look in the "viewer" of the distance piece he'd thoughtfully installed. The petrol's flowing, he saw, and in that instant the engine caught and surged, spiralling Frank through the air to the ground. Nemesis suffered little, leaping the curb and through the shop window of the corner tobacconist. Frank says he had to laugh, despite the pain, and the damages. Frank sported a crutch, one foot bandaged, the first time I saw him outside the Free Times Cafe. He was leaning lightly on the crutch, with his white hair a lion's mane, then in his mid forties, a handsome man, not big, or grand - but with a substantial feeling.
My getting to know Frank came through the Free's crash service and life's catastrophe. In the early nineteen seventies the Free ran an alternative welfare system. A major item was the crash service. They had a list of those who'd offer accommodation for a night or, like the Arabs, up to three nights. Then one had to move on, till one found some resolve, or exhausted the system.
A while after my return to Brighton - drawn to Brighton by the Free like moths - my first marriage floundered - another story. She threw me out. I went up to the Free, to their crash service and spent my first nights away from home with Spanish Frank.
Frank lived in a basement in St. Michael's Terrace. I slept on his sofa. We sat up late into the night and talked. During the evening, he played Flamenco guitar, of course, and he played a recording of Bach, a canto where the organ builds tone on tone, till overtones roared with one another. "Better than rock and roll," he said. I conceded. And then he told me the following story, how he got his name.
The East End of London, after the depression, before the war, had no savour for young Frank Lewis. The war though, promised excitement and escape. At fifteen, Franklin lied about his age and enlisted in the Merchant Navy, which was the fastest freight out of London. In the wartime, all sailors were Royal Navy and under fire. That didn't faze young Frank. "It's a man's world," he said, chest swelling. And away from Europe, to begin with, there were long weeks of implacable ocean.
Frank sailed off to the Orient. In Shanghai, he went ashore with friends, to an opium den. "If that little chinaman can smoke that stuff, so can I," thought Frank. And telling the story, his face relaxed, quietened. "I had a thousand dreams," he said, "and all of them were bad."
It was in Shanghai that he bought the little green jade Buddha that was to become his love charm, and his luck charm. I will speak of it later.
On a hot night in the summer of '43, Frank's ship was torpedoed in the English channel. As far as he knows, Frank was the only survivor. He was washed up on the Brittony shore. In the morning, he found three German soldiers swimming, found their clothes and weaponry amongst some rocks and cover. Killed them. He didn't go into details, but one by one he took out the rest of the German soldiers on the bay - twelve in all. These killings outraged him. He felt empty like the corpses and he vowed he'd replace them - that he would sire twelve children.
Demobbed after the war, civie street looked dull. The only interesting niche seemed to be larceny, so Frank became a thief, graduating from corner shops to banks. For fifteen years he lived the life of a villain. The main drawback, he said, was that villains were boring people. The other problem was getting nicked. No problem for fifteen years. During this time Frank generated twelve children by twelve women, before getting nabbed for armed robbery. He was sent down for eight years. He served six, this in Parkhurst maximum security. He spent four years in solitary. He preferred his own company. Found it dependable.
About six months before he was due parole, someone brought him in a tab of LSD. A turning point. To be trite, Frank saw life as though it were new, alive, breathing, and he loved it so much he let the chips fall off his shoulders. He decided thence forth to live an affirmation of delight. Next day he wrote a letter to a friend begging them to bring him a guitar, and in the remaining six months in jail he taught himself to play. He no longer resented being in prison. It gave him the time he needed make changes, and learn new ways. After his release, he went down to Spain to study Flamenco. There after his friends called him 'Spanish Frank'.
Spanish Frank returned to England in '69, and made his living as a roofer. When I met him in 1972, his guitar playing, the Flamenco, was quite wonderful. He was damn near a virtuoso. And though he didn't sing, in his grunts and oles, you could smell the gypsy campfires, and the sour wine of the taverns. I once ask him why he didn't play professionally. "Sometimes," he said, "when you try to turn a pleasure into a business, you end up with a heartache. I know that this is a solace for me, and if sometimes its a pleasure for my friends, well..." He shrugged.
Frank was still mending roofs years later, when I met up with him again in Wales. We drove over to a valley where Frank was mending some stonewalled outbuildings which, in Wales, they call barns. A high wind had lifted and shifted the black slate roof. The day, that morning, was warm and sunny - the one piece of sun I saw in my whole three weeks in Wales that spring. Frank took off his coat, and threw a line over the roof. He was just going to pull it back up onto the wall with the tractor. I was surprised that it was such a simple procedure. "That's how it's done," he said.
We walked round to the back of the buildings to secure the line round the main beam and to inspect and release the supports which Frank had put the day before to shore up the roof and stop it shifting further. As I helped him by untying one of the support, he drew my attention to urgent consequences. "Take the line in front of you, not behind. You needn't risk tangling in it, even for a moment. If the support, there, gave way ..." he left the rest unsaid.
In the afternoon we were driving back to the cottage Frank was renting, driving in his old ford van through the loins of the Carmarthen hills, narrow roads tunnelling through shrouded trees into the twilight. Though forenoon had been sunny, now drizzle and vapours wrapped grey around us. "We're back in Wales," I said. On the dashboard there was that small jade Buddha. I asked Frank about it. Could I handle it. Pick it up? "Sure." He explained how he had bought it during the war, as a lad, in Shanghai. I asked him if it had religious connotations for him, or if it was a good luck charm. "More of a love charm," he said, and he explained that he used is to stimulate his amours in foreplay to the threshold of climax.
We stopped at a crossroads corner shop. I bought bread, butter and Marmite. I'd just discovered Marmite. As we drove on, I dabbed my fingers into the brown paste. Frank leaned across and scooped his little finger in. "Hmm," he grunted. "This salt kills babies."
We turned off the little highway onto a country lane, tortuous in trees and fog. "Last week," said Frank, "I drove off the road here. I just turned the wheel and drove into the ditch. A moment later, a sports car shot round this corner. I would have been annihilated. A total catastrophe."
"Maybe you heard it coming. Heard it humming, subliminally Some vibration" "Perhaps. It happened another time. Not the same bit of road, but the same thing. I just drove into the ditch and swish. I don't think I heard, but whatever. I follow my hunches."
It wasn't the drama of Frank's life that drew me to him. It was a calmness, a warmth and a solidity he carried, that served me as a model in my transition from a dazed youth to the next struggles: a calm that still eludes me. And Frank was a hero to me, but again not because of the spice and storm in his history. My heroes are people who overcome adversity to make something meaningful of their life. Not something grand. But they take back control, usually in a simple way. Just being. Frank was the first of these models. Crazy Jane was probably the second, though I didn't know it at the time. Not until seventeen years later, when we met again. I'm going to speak of Crazy Jane, for her story twines with Spanish Frank.
I went back to Brighton last summer after twelve years away. A maze of memories - these hills, that house - I've lived all over this town. Hanging out with my kids, this time round, I stepped back not twelve, but twenty-five years, back into my habits of the sixties, sitting round walls, smoking, walking the beach collecting pebbles, walking the town - I bumped into shining Neil. "How do you find Brighton after so long?" he asked. I said it looked seedy. "It's always looked seedy," he said. Twelve years back, when Neil was experiencing God in a guru, he was walking round in a loin cloth with wild open eyes. I tried again to penetrate his eyes. We managed a smile, but the eyes were surface, flat; their lustre gone.
I quizzed Neil about old friends. Did he know of this one or that? Did he know of Spanish Frank? "Frank Lewis? He died sometime in the early eighties. Crashed his bike."
I sat a moment.
"Oh, that Crazy Jane," said Neil, "with the deep voice. I see her around." Now his eyes lit for a moment. "She's looking splendid. On the up and up. Always smiling."
Did he know how I could reach her? "She's around," he said, and paused. "I think she's working at a hostel. The one for recovering alcoholics up in Kemp Town."
I phoned. They told me a Jane, with a different surname, would be in at seven. I left a message and said I would phone again. That voice, deep, conjuring lady wrestlers, vibrant, conjuring Winston Churchill? How did I forget that voice? Gone with Frank's face that I can't even conjure. I had written a short story about my encounter with Jane, and I wanted her to read it. We arranged to met in a pub near her home up at the Seven Dials. She looked her age - late thirties - only a little bit weathered - meeting again after half a life time. Her eyes were still frank, but less transparent then in her wild days. Now she had careful boundaries.
After an exchange of pleasantries, I gave Jane a copy of my story. It being short, she insisted on reading it right there. When she got to the part about stabbing the therapist at the Copenhagen airport, she stopped. "When you phoned yesterday," she told me, "and they said that you had an American accent, I wasn't sure whether it was you or that therapist. I'm glad it was you."
Jane offered some corrections to the story as I had recalled it. It wasn't a knife that she had taken from her handbag at the airport. It was a scissors, though Jane thought that a knife made for a better story. The copy of the story I had given her lacked a title page, and she asked me if the story had a name. "I call it 'Catching Butterflies'," I informed her. "You were the butterfly that I couldn't catch."
Jane explained a few things about our brief interlude - our almost meeting, not quite loving, seventeen years before. "You didn't know I was a lesbian? It pisses my husband off," she said with a tender laugh. Her husband was very ill. Serious T.B. (Or not T.B.) And Crazy Jane took it on the chin. And crazy Jane was sane.
"When I met you I was falling apart again."
"I noticed," I said.
"And after that I fell through the floor. I spent two years on the street. I don't mean whoring. I wasn't up to that. Destitution. Bag lady. Didn't know what time was. What city. Two years sleeping rough. Out of it. Frank Lewis took me in. Saved me. I lived with Frank for two years. I don't mean I lived with him. We were never lovers. I stayed at his place. He looked after me. Amazing man. Almost imperturbable. Finally we had a falling out. A big fight. I guess I had to see if I could move him." She looked wistful. "We patched it up before... He died, you know. In the early eighties. Drove his bike into a wall. I can't help but think that it wasn't an accident. He had cancer. I think maybe..." The words died away.
I told Jane the story of his driving off the road. His hunches. She nodded her head as she listened. And I volunteered the story of the Jade Buddha, the love piece. I don't know why. Jane listened quietly, and then replied, "Then that explains it. When I left, ran away, after we fell out, I took a couple of things from my room. A rug, an ashtray and the Buddha. I'd been with them so long, tender years - I felt they defined... I felt they were mine. Frank called the cops. I could never understand why he did that."
our brief, not quite affair, Jane had sent me a postcard, a line drawing of God's
finger reaching out to Adam as on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel. "Keep
in touch," it said. So here's an answer, seventeen years on, an ode to Spanish
Frank; a story, without an ending, unless it's Frank splattered on a wall and
my meeting Jane again to find this link between us.

The car is almost ready, just finishing up some more decals and sponsor logos.
I've made up some custom long travel front struts using inserts to gain more strength at the bottom of the strut where it keeps bending on me. I've also welded some 40x6mm angle iron to the radius rods to stop them bending.
The rear is raised an inch over normal full adjustment height by welding a little more on the end of the adjuster nut.. Motor is still standard EA81, although a different one, this time from 91 Brumby. Gearbox is standard 4sp 3.7 with the low range lever held by a tie down strap in low range. Rear diff is welded. Tyres are 27x8.5R14 Kumho M/T's, this time with tubes in there to keep them inflated as I had many flats the last two times I went (even with 30psi).
I will also be filling the disty with grease (like I have done the past two times I've raced in this event) and the plug leads. Thinking also of putting a 60mm vac tube I have on the standard airbox and leading up up behind the strut pillar to keep it out of the mud spray.
Well, when its all done and dusted I'll post up some pictures and video hopefully of this years race.
Posted 26 October 2009 - 08:27 PM
Took out third place again. Only this time the car is well screwed. Not racing it again. I'll post up pictures and the story when I get my computer back from the gf's place.
for now have a look at some of these vids by others on the tube

A review by a patient that verified they have visited Dr. Robert Snyder - Posted on November 24th, 2015
no one better
Self-verified patient of Dr. Robert Snyder - Posted on February 19th, 2014
Dr. Bob had been my primary care physician for 37 years. It's hard to find a doctor who takes whatever time necessary while examining you to discuss your health concerns and explain things in simple language. He addresses all questions you have and is a very giving and caring person. As a matter of fact, when my mother moved in with me and needed an east bay Dr., I brought her to one dr. appointment I had so she could meet Dr. Bob. I thought for sure she would want to keep her dr. from san Francisco. But all it took was one visit meeting Dr. Bob and she could not be happier. Dr. Bob remained her primary care dr. until she passed away at the age of 86. She often commented to me on how caring a dr. dr. Bob is. He was patient with her, and they had a good patient-dr. relationship. I too was so shocked to learn Dr. Bob was no longer with Affinity. I have been looking for another primary care physician that could be as great as Dr. Bob and haven't found one yet. I want a DR. who is going to give me the same treatment I received from Dr. Bob. If I have concerns about my health that need to be addressed, I want questions resolved no matter how long it takes. Too many physicians are NOT willing to give you more than 15 minutes of their time. I want my primary physician to know me, not my chart...I want him to know when I have concerns. Yes, there were times I had to wait 10-15 minutes after my apt time to see dr bob but it never bothered me...because I knew if he needed to take some extra time with me, he would. Dr Bob always put his patients first and spent whatever time it took ...Until I find another Dr like Dr Bob, or he surprises his former patients and returns to practice in this area, you can be sure I will keep looking....in the meantime, I say a little prayer that Dr. Bob will be back. Affinity medical grp lost the best dr they ever had. Dtr BOB is one top notch DR.

Global warming
Air Pollution
consequences for human and animals
fishes die because of the plastic and oil
birds die because they entangled in plastic or cant fly anymore because of oil glued fethers
beaches become dangerous – people can hurt
Groundwater is contaminated and this means also our drinking water
Global Warming is the changing of Earth's climate.
slow increase of Earth's average surface temperature around the whole world
it happening all over the world
1. Global Warming
2. Overpopulation
3. Air Pollution
4. kinds of Pollution
consequences for human and animals
6. most polluted oceans
Definition: What is Global Warming?
Reason of Global Warming:
Greenhouse Gases
gases in the atmosphere like water vapor, carbon dioxide and methane
come from all sorts of activities which is electricity, heating our homes an driving around town.
How can we prevent it?
the temperature getting warmer
sea level rise
giant ice sheets and glaciers melt
snow melt sooner
flowers bloom earlier
birds don't fly so much in a southward
direction in the winter
more powerful storms
extinction of species
there rising the temperature
the winter play ground is under a treat
of warmer temperature
it receives lots of monsoon rain and
sometimes also during the dry season
Places which are affected by
global warming
reduce green house gas emissions
energy conservation
renewable energy
reduce, reuse, recycle
make jobs that help the Earth
use a bike instead a car
Thank you for your attention !
We hope you enjoyed it !
the causes of many issues in our world
when gases are introduced into the atmosphere in a way that makes it harmful to humans, animals and plant
air becomes dirty
Types of pollutants:
Primary pollutants
are those gases that are pumped into the air to make it unclean
example: carbon monoxide from automobile (cars)
Secondary pollutants:
when pollutants in the air mix up in a chemical reaction, they form an even more dangerous chemical
example: photochemical smog from a industry
Causes of Air Pollution:
Air pollution can result from both human and natural actions.
natural actions
forest fires, volcanic eruptions, wind erosion, pollen dispersal, evaporation, radioactivity
human actions
burning of Fossil Fuels, agricultural activities, Automobile emissions
Effects of human health
air pollution causes various disease
damage the cardiovascular and respiratory organs
depletes the Ozone Layer
illnesses causes people to miss school and work so people do not produce supplies and raise income
Damage trees, crops, wildlife, lakes and other large bodies of water
produces acid rain
smog from the burning of coal and oil, car and truck exhausts, power stations that create electricity, factories
these gases mix with rainwater which fall down on earth
acid rain ruins buildings, structures and roads
trees and plants
can draw away important nutrients and minerals from the leaves and soil
without these "vitamins" trees and plants can't grow properly
loose their leaves
no longer strong enough to fight against harsh cold and illness and so they die
Acid Rain:
Any form of precipitation (rain, snow, hail, fog) that is abnormally high in acid pollutants- specifically nitric and sulfuric acids"
does not look different from normal precipitation!
What can we do?
save electricity- turn off lights,electronics, etc. when not in use
use energy wisely
take public transportation, walk or bike
use energy-efficient appliances
educate others about this issues
recycle and re-use things
use alternative energy sources such
as wind and solar
when a species exceeds the maximum amount for it's ecological habitat
Why is overpopulation a problem?
because is calculated for the amount of sustainable, renewable resources available for every person
more people populate the earth = less resources per person
Graph about Grown of Overpopulation
Overpopulation in China
The most overpopulated country in the world is China, with over 1,3 billion people.
One reason why China is overpopulated:
-In their culture, the son inherits the family's money,
therefore everyone wants to have a boy.
A consequence:
-There's no space for living, so people are destroying nature in order to build homes.
Solutions they have made:
There's a rule of having just one child.
Plastic waste
Plastic waste is flushed into the sea via rivers
Dumps are being distributed to seashores
Birds and fishes eat the plastic and die
beaches become dirty and dangerous
improve waste- management on sea
mortgage obligation
people bring the empty bottles back to the store
Dual system (Germany)
nearly all resources can be recycled
oil Pollution
Leaks on oil platforms
Accidents on oil tankers
oil wells
oiled beaches
fishes die
birds become dirty and cant fly
measures on sea
oil barriers
measures on beaches
treatment of animals
oil barriers to block the oil
chemical pollution
from rivers to oceans
heavy metals
Most polluted oceans
1 million tons of oil flowing into oceans each year
The north-pacific - plastic waste in a huge of middle europe
The north sea – 20000 tons plastic waste every year
Gulf of Mexico (Deepwater Horizon)
Persian Gulf

- Kenya singer, Chantelle, has shown off her rebellious side in a cute little tongue piercing
- She is currently married to Gospel music producer, J Blessing. She is best known for her hit single, Toklezea
A tongue piercing is lightly called the 'Angels bite' and is great for oral sex.
READ ALSO: Prophet Kanyari performs yet another 'miracle' a year after his expose
The Toklezea hit-maker, Chantelle, who is married to gospel music producer, J Blessings, has stolen the show after sharing a photo of her tongue piercing - commonly known as the Angel's bite.
The piercing on the photos that she has uploaded on social media has pitted her against what most Kenyans consider as acceptable especially with news that she is married to Kenya's staunch gospel producer.
The average Kenyan will frown at tattoos, nose rings and labrets. It is the tongue piercing that would send any Kenyan, toppling right off the precipice.
READ ALSO: See Akothee's KSh 30 million gift from her boyfriend for getting pregnant
While researching extensively on the pros of having a tongue ring, I discovered that most women get one because increases sexual pleasure during oral sex.
The piercing also makes the tongue more sensitive around the piercing making kissing more pleasurable.

Known for its cooler temperatures, lush green tea plantations, scenic waterfalls, mountainous hiking trails and fragrant strawberry farms, the Cameron Highlands is a beautiful area to experience when you're visiting Malaysia.
Cameron Highlands is a long and windy and bumpy drive, approximately 200km from Kuala Lumpur.
Unfortunately our tour only allowed for one night in the mountains. It was certainly enough to see what a pretty part of the world it is and taste some of the great local food.
Tea plantations
We went to Boh Tea – a plantation of 3rd generation growers and 1st generation plants (plantations last around 250 years). The tea plants are fertilised every six months and tea leaves are harvested every three weeks. This plantation alone produces around four million kg of tea every year.
The views were spectacular from the outdoor deck, I'm guessing it's a sight that would be pretty hard to get sick of.
For dinner we went out for steamboat. It's an interactive eating experience where you get to be the cook. A big pot was delivered to the table with some vegetable stock, as well as loads of ingredients to pop into the water. The vegetables, tofu, noodles and vegetarian meats I had all cooked super fast so there wasn't much waiting around to eat. It was a great meal and such a light and fresh way to eat.
One of my favourite eats was down at the roti shop. We had dosa (a thin and crispy pancake) that's dipped into curry, followed by two types of filled roti for dessert – one with banana, the other with local strawberries.
Roti is made simply with wheat flour, ghee, salt, water and baking powder. The dough is individually portioned and left overnight to prove. I was fascinated with watching the roti being tossed until it's a see-though and thin, then filled with fruit and folded into a square. The roti is cooked on a hot plate until it's crispy outside and soft inside.
Up next: We have an incredible homestay with a lovely Muslim family.

The Road Crew
The term "roadie" is slang that is often used to describe touring personnel, and for many people it conjures images of a rag-tag bunch of drug using, hard drinking road pirates, dressed from head to toe in nothing but black. While this most assuredly existed at one point in time, this notion is something that now belongs to a by-gone era. Every once in a while you'll encounter someone who stood next to a speaker stack for a tad too long, but I digress…
Behind every successful concert tour there is a highly skilled road crew working behind the scenes to make sure the show goes off without a hitch. They are the support network that helps to deliver that amazing performance by your favorite artist. These are the people who get into the venue first thing in the morning, and are the last ones to leave, long after the last note has rung out. Who are these people? What exactly do they do?
Below I've outlined some of the more common roles you would find on a typical tour. This is only the tip of the iceberg in terms of what roles you might find on a tour. With the increase in size and scale of the operation, you will typically find more specialized roles. On smaller tours you may find some of the roles doubling up to save money. Regardless, these are the people who work together on a day to day basis to make sure the artist and fans alike have the best possible experience.
Tour Manager
The tour manager oversees all departments and is responsible for the health and day-to-day function of a tour. The position is logistics heavy, and involves long hours. The tour manager handles transportation, hotels, press, hospitality, backstage, security, settlement, guest list, and most importantly, the needs of the artist. This is not a comprehensive list, as there is a minutia of daily tasks that inevitably arise. On smaller tours, you will find a TM wearing multiple hats. On a larger tour, certain tasks will be delegated with oversight.
Production Manager
A good production manager is indispensable. They are the ones who oversees all of the technical aspects of a performance. Sound, lights, staging, rigging, backline, power requirements, you name it. They work with local crew, alongside touring crew to build the show each and every day in a variety of environments. Attention to detail is paramount in this role, as the smallest oversight can lead to the derailment of the performance.
Front of House
The front of house engineer is in control of the mix that is coming out of the speakers that face the audience. If you've ever attended a show, what you are hearing is being controlled by the FOH. They have a deep knowledge of acoustics, electronics, microphones, and what works well in different situations. Different rooms have different acoustic properties, and watching a touring FOH engineer navigate the nuances of a difficult room is quite remarkable. By knowing the songs of the artist they are working for they are able to enhance the songs by highlighting key parts. You will more often than not find them located towards the back of the room, in front of the glowing soundboard.
Located on the side of the stage is the monitor engineer, or MON for short. They are the one who is in control of the mix that the band hears on stage. Sometimes they are mixing wedges, other times they are mixing in ear monitors, or sometimes they are mixing a combination of both. If the band can't hear themselves on stage, understandably this is going to impact the performance in a negative way. When you can tell that a band is really enjoying themselves on stage, they likely have a great monitor mix.
Lighting Designer
The lighting designer is in charge of all things visual relating to the performance. They will consult with the artist and management prior to the start of the tour and design a light show that compliments and enhances the artist's live show. On a daily basis they work with local crew to set up the tour's lighting rig, supplementing what is already available in house. Once completed they will focus the lights and make sure there is appropriate coverage on the stage. They are typically stationed alongside the front of house engineer, at the back of the room. Click here to see an example of a professional lighting designer's work.
Backline Tech
Backline refers to all of the gear on stage. This could include instruments, amplifiers, drums, pedal boards, synthesizers, etc. The backline tech's role is to set up, maintain, and tear down the backline on a day to day basis. On a smaller tour, you might have one backline tech setting up all of the gear on stage. On larger tours, these roles become more specialized and you might have a guitar tech, drum tech, keyboard tech, etc. They will help to line check, and prepare all of the gear for the band's soundcheck. During soundcheck trouble spots are realized and fixed. During the performance they will watch the stage, handle instrument changes, and fix any issues that arise on the fly.
The merchandiser sets up the artist's store on a day to day basis. This position involves foreseeing inventory needs, discussing product designs with the artist, ordering stock, setting up the store, interacting with fans, settling merchandise rates with the promoter, hiring and managing local sellers, and counting out at the end of the night with a fervor. They deal with cash and credit transactions and are very much the face of the tour, as they are the ones who are interacting with fans on a very personal level.

There are a number of touring roles not covered here. Bus drivers, personal assistants, massage therapists, carpenters, personal security, catering, etc.. Also integral to the daily operation of a tour (but not covered here) are managers, day-to-day managers, booking agents, business managers, publicists, radio reps, label folks, the list goes on and on.

Kris Aquino dines with Herbert Bautista-A A +A
Sunday, April 6, 2014
QUEEN of All Media Kris Aquino spent her Saturday night with her family and rumored flame, Quezon City Mayor Herbert Bautista.
The television host posted a photo of the first family on her official Instagram account on Saturday evening. She wrote, "Family Dinner."
Seen in the picture were President Benigno Aquino III, who was holding Kris' son Bimby, Kris' three older sisters, their respective other halves, nieces and nephews, eldest son Joshua and Bautista.
The mayor was photographed talking to the Kapamilya actress' siblings.
This is the second sighting of Kris and Bautista in the past few days.
On Friday's episode of morning lifestyle program "Kris TV," the mayor visited the actress on the set.
The two are rumored to be dating even as Kris said in her morning program that Bautista is only a long-time friend.
Kris is also linked to Kapatid actor Derek Ramsay, who quickly dismissed the rumors.
"There's no relationship. No, there is no relationship going on. Hindi ako nanliligaw, we're friends, hindi kami," Derek said. (Sunnex)

St Maarten Tours
St Maarten Shore Excursions & Tours
With Literally Dozens of Tours to Choose From…
How can we make it easier?
Besides the numerous boat trips and sea-borne excursions in St. Maarten, there are many land-based trips with all kinds of different vehicles. Whatever your preference there is guaranteed to be a mode of transport to suit you –
- Jeep safari
- ATV (all-terrain vehicle) tour
- Large air-conditioned bus tours
- Small bus tours
- Open-windowed party bus
- Rental car or jeep (freedom to go where you want!)
- Art gallery tour
- Airplane rides to different islands nearby
There are also tours especially designed for cruise ship passengers that make the most of the limited port stay – it can be a tricky business trying to decide what to do in a few short hours when you dock in St. Maarten – not only is the weather a factor but also how many other ships are in town.
Here are a few of the most popular tours with a brief description and link to more information:
Taxi Tours
One of the most popular ways to get around is with a taxi – they are generally large, spacious, air-conditioned 'bus-sized' vehicles and the drivers are flexible and knowledgeable. The rates are fairly standard but there may be room for negotiation depending on how large your group is and how far off the beaten track you want to go.
Our St. Maarten Ultimate Guide will give you lots of useful information & tips about exploring our beautiful island, not to mention our over $1000 worth of shopping sprees, Car rentals & dining discounts coupon book.

Most Helpful Guy
If you are talking about the Gay Marriage judgement, then no. It's laughable, even.
Otherwise, Europe would be a flaming ball completely severed from the Earth and flying in orbit by now.
Though if it does come, I would be excited to see good atheists be taken, while many so-called "Christians" would be left behind for intolerance. Imagine telling someone not to kill and to love their fellow man. Now imagine these people infringing on the rights of their fellow man, and even killing "in your name."
Not only are they disregarding what you said, they are actively going against what you said, and making sure to stick your name on it. That's not only insensitive, it is outright insulting. I would rather someone be good, but not believe I exist, than to disregard what I have to say on the basis that I DO exist.
As far as non-religious things go, the rapture has already started. Extinction is 15-1000x higher than normal, at a rate not seen since the extinction of dinosaurs. We are amidst the 6th mass extinction in Earth's 4-billion-year history. It isn't myth. Not only is it no longer a "potential problem in the distant future" as politicians like to put it. We are past the point of no return.32|10|0

Seven days of riots, bombs - and drunken Swedish elks
But the reaction on the streets among young, immigrant men on poor, rundown estates remained defiant. The mood of their message was "we hate France and France hates us". Although the riots became less serious later in the week the country was left with a damaging legacy to race relations, the economy - and to the reputation of the interior minister, Nicolas Sarkozy, whose comments about "riff-raff" on the estates played a large part in provoking the violence.
After a relatively quiet week in Iraq, suicide bombers struck again - but this time in neighbouring Jordan where 56 people were killed in coordinated attacks on three big hotels in the capital, Amman. Australia claimed to have foiled a major terrorist plot with the arrest of 17 men in Sydney and Melbourne.
The visit of the Chinese president, Hu Jintao, to the UK highlighted his country's extraordinary dash for growth with trade and projects across the globe seen as a miracle by some and a menace by others.
War-torn Liberia elected a new president, the first woman head of state in Africa. Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf faces a daunting task of reconstruction and the anger of former soccer star, George Weah, not used to finishing second.
The Israeli government faced a fresh crisis with the defeat of Labour leader Shimon Peres, aid was exchanged across the earthquake divide in Kashmir, and the Burmese government took to the hills, moving the nation's capital out of historic Rangoon, reportedly because they feared an invasion by the US.
The New York Times, the paper that became the story, finally parted company with Judith Miller, who was heavily criticised for her prewar reporting on Iraq and became embroiled in the Lewis Libby affair - but not before she received a large pay-off and was allowed the last word in a letter to the editor.
Swedish papers reported the tale of the rampaging, drunken elks that threatened to attack an old people's home. The old people were saved but the elks were following well-documented behaviour that included attacks on joggers and cyclists after feasting on fermented apples.

JEDEC is working on the new DDR5 memory standard (no relation to GDDR5) and expects it to double the bandwidth of DDR4.
The Snapdragon 835 was shown off this week and it's a potent improvement over the Snapdragon 820 / 821 in many respects, though not in all of them. Despite debuting a new custom architecture for the Snapdragon 820 family, Qualcomm is moving back towards using semi-custom ARM cores instead for this round of products.
AMD may be planning a 16-core behemoth of a processor to take on Intel at the very top of its product stack.
Nvidia has teamed up with Microsoft to create a new GPU-centric server with flexible interconnects and up to eight GPUs per system.
After over a decade, AMD is ready to slug it out with Intel in the high-end workstation and desktop space. Ryzen isn't a perfect chip, but it packs one hell of a wallop in certain tests.
A Russian man has been sentenced to 9.5 years in prison after murdering a former friend over which company, AMD or Nvidia, made better video cards. Whatever happened to punching people you disagreed with?

3 At-Home Valentine Dates: Save VS Splurge
It's time to start thinking of your plans for Valentine's Day. If you're lucky enough to be able to get a babysitter, then by all means, take that route and have a night out on the town. But, if the kiddos are stuck home with you on this romantic evening or if you just want to bypass the reservations, lovey-dovey crowds, and take a less traditional approach to your Valentine's date, then we are here to help. We have come up with three fun and romantic Valentine's Day date ideas that you can enjoy from the comfort of your own home.
We put a spin on a few classic Valentine dates, by giving you one date idea with two options: a cheaper, more thrifty "save" version or a pull out all the stops, go big or go home, "splurge" version. Take your choice this Valentine's Day, but we hope that whatever you end up doing, you finish the night with a happy ending!
Couples Massage
Everyone likes a good massage, and there's nothing more sensual than experiencing this with your love. Celebrate this Valentine's Day with a relaxing, pampering, hands-on date that is sure to spice things up.
Put the kids to bed, light candles and pour some wine, put on mood music, and turn your bedroom into the ultimate spa-romance atmosphere. Grab some massage oil and take turns playing masseuse for the evening.
- Make your own massage oil by combining a few drops of your favorite essential oils with a carrier oil, such as grapeseed, jojoba, avocado, or almond oil.
- Learn some extra special moves for giving your Valentine a massage they won't soon forget. For the men, check out How To Give The Perfect Massage by Men's Fitness. And for the ladies, How To Give Your Guy a Tantric Massage by Cosmopolitan is the perfect read for this special evening.
If you and your Valentine really want to amp up the pampering factor, hire an in-home masseuse who specializes in couples massage. Neither one of you will have to lift a finger, and you can both enjoy an amazing massage at the same time.
Bonus: You're guaranteed a much longer, more thorough massage by investing in a professional, and you're less likely to hear the buzzkill of "I'm tired. My hands hurt. Is it my turn now?"
Cooking for Two
If you and your love are foodies, or just enjoy a good home-cooked meal, then the classic cooking for two date is perfect for this Valentine's night. Feed the kids their mac and cheese, and make the time in the kitchen tonight adults-only.
Let you and your sous chef (or the other way around) whip up a delicious meal worthy of this holiday of love. Prep ahead of time by picking out the perfect recipe together (or use our yummy recipes below). Toss on the aprons, pour the wine, turn on some tunes, and start cooking your hearts out.
- Food Network has a delicious, Valentine's Day friendly menu that is perfectly portioned for two. Start out with Pappardelle in Saffron Cream for your appetizer, Roast Chicken and Mushrooms with Red Wine Sauce for a hearty entree, and finish up with a sexy Raspberry-Chocolate Parfait dessert.
- If you're feeling really scandalous, make your home restaurant clothing-optional!
If the creative culinary juices aren't flowing, then take the easy way out by ordering a Blue Apron meal. You and your Valentine will still cook together, but you can be sure you'll end up with a gourmet, high-quality meal that will make you feel as though you're in a 5 star restaurant. You'll be sent every ingredient, down to the butter and spices, in pre-measured portions complete with a beautiful recipe card that makes cooking become pure pleasure instead of work and waste. Be sure to plan in advance by ordering your Blue Apron meal in plenty of time so it arrives fresh that day.
If you and your significant other can't even boil water, but still want a delicious at-home meal this Valentine's Day, then just take the biggest splurge by hiring a personal chef for the night!
Playing Photographer
Our last idea is a bit unconventional, but perfect for couples who love being behind or in front of a camera. We're sure you and your love haven't had any good pictures taken of the two of you lately, so use this Valentine's Day to not only make memories, but to also capture them.
You don't need a fancy DSLR professional camera to make this date happen, anything that works as a camera is sufficient, even your phone. Get creative and just start snapping photos of each other, either separately or together, but be sure to get at least a few together, as that's the whole point! You can turn this into a full-on photo shoot, with a tripod, self timer, backdrop, the whole shebang if photography is your passion. Or just prop up your phone, set the self-timer, and take some fun selfies. Make this date a time to be silly with each other, to get close, and to capture this here-and-now moment on film.
- Get glammed up so you look your best in front of the camera, and because it's Valentine's Day for goodness sake.
- Consider doing some risque, boudoir-like photos with each other to amp up the heat.
- Mesh this date idea into whatever else you decide to do Valentine evening, whether it's a massage, cooking dinner, or something else. We doubt you have very many date nights caught on camera, so make this one different.
- If you do have a DSLR, then be sure to read How To Take Great Photos in Low Light for some tips on how to get your indoor photos looking their best.
If taking photos just sounds blah to you, but you really do want an updated photo of you and your significant other, one that's more current than your wedding portrait, then take the splurge route. Hire a professional photographer to come over and set up a photo shoot. This may take a bit more planning in advance, especially if you want to shoot during the day when the light is best. You may have to juggle your schedules to be free during the day, get a babysitter, or just find someone that is really good and has the equipment for taking pictures indoors in the evening.
For the bold and daring couples, hire a photographer who specializes in boudoir photography. Not only will you get photos of each other together, but they are bound to be the sexiest, most intimate, for-your-eyes-only photos you've ever had. Talk about a Valentine's Day to remember!
There's no shame in sending this post to your significant other, if he or she is the date planner. Sometimes they just need a little guidance in this department by receiving a "subtle" hint. Happy Valentine's Date Night!
