While CARICOM's cricket subcommittee appears hell-bent on pinning West Indies cricket woes on CWI president Dave Cameron, a former West Indies cricketer is advising that throwing mainly young players on to the international arena is not helping West Indies cause.
Indeed, Barbadian fast bowler Fidel Edwards told Barbados TODAY that one of the current team's major problems is lack of experience and the regional selectors' propensity for discarding players the wrong side of thirty was not helping the situation. Edwards himself was dumped at age 30 in 2012 after taking 165 wickets in 55 Tests, including a seven-wicket match haul in his very last Test.
Edwards said a West Indies team comprised of young players without a lot of experience would make it difficult for them to be competitive in international cricket. He explained that even though the cricketers had the skills, they lacked the in-depth knowledge to help each other in difficult circumstances.
"A team needs experienced cricketers to guide its younger players. This is not happening in the team at the moment. We have a team with several young players who are drawing from each other, this is going to make it hard to be competitive in Test cricket and can also have an impact on their improvement," Edwards said
Edwards added: "When these players reach the age of 30 and are now beginning to understand their game they are considered to be old and dropped from the team. Hopefully, we can get away from dropping players at an early age and let these guys grow together and learn from each other. This will not be easy because we are not going to win a lot of matches while we are going through this process but we will be building a team that hopefully would make us competitive again. It is going to be difficult for the West Indies to get back to the top, but we got to start somewhere, and if playing young players is the way we have decided to go, these young players must be given the chance to mature and develop and not be discarded at an early age."
The former international who was catapulted into the West Indies team in 2003 as a rookie after impressing West Indies captain Brian Lara in the nets, said there were a number of current players with whom he was quite impressed. He described batsman Shai Hope as "a class act".
"Even when Shai is batting in the nets it is clear he is a batsman of the highest class, everything about his batting is correct. He times the ball in the correct manner and his shot selection is excellent. Shai impressed everyone with his batting in England last year. He displayed the skills that are needed to be a top batsman in Test cricket, I think it is just a matter of time before he starts making runs more consistently," Edwards said.
Roston Chase has also caught his eyes.
"Roston has improved tremendously. When he first came into the Barbados team some people had their doubts about him. Seeing how he has continued to improve and taken his game to the next level has really impressed me. I am really proud of Roston, he is an extremely dedicated cricketer, I hope he will continue to do well for himself and West Indies cricket," Edwards said.
He expressed high hopes for fast bowler Miguel Cummins who he called an improving bowler and suggested that young Kemo Paul of Guyana had the makings of a good fast bowler. Edwards said he was overjoyed to see his former fast bowling partner Kemar Roach back in West Indies' colours again.
"I am so happy to see Kemar back in the team and leading the attack. He and I have shared the new ball for Barbados and the West Indies. His recall will add experience to the bowling attack, hopefully, we will get a few young fast bowlers coming through under him," Edwards said.
The product of St Peter said he had found a home with Hampshire in the English County Championship and was now in his fourth season. " I am enjoying my game. I don't have any complaints, I cannot say I miss playing for the West Indies that much. It would have been nice if I was still playing Test cricket but at this stage in my life, it is what it is," Edwards said, adding he understood cricket a lot better now than when he was younger and was now a better bowler and able to take better care of his body.
Edwards, 36, said he had not started to think about life after cricket, and his main focus was to have a good season for Hampshire in the upcoming county season.

A number of groups of opposition fighters on the ground in Syria have condemned the main opposition coalition group The Syrian National Coalition (SNC) for failing to represent the Syrian revolution. The SNC has been meeting in İstanbul for the last one week, but has so far failed to reach consensus on the extent of the bloc's enlargement and a peace conference in June. In a statement the groups said that in order to be really representative of the Syrian opposition the SNC should choose no less than 50% of its leadership from the groups who are struggling inside Syria, instead of haggling about the inclusion or non inclusion of members of liberal groups.
The SNC began their
meeting last Thursday, expecting to address the expansion of the
coalition, its participation in the planned peace conference headed by
Russia and the United States, its new leadership and finally forming a
cabinet of ministers for interim Prime Minister Ghassan Hitto's
government. However, the 60-member-bloc has so far failed to tackle its
agenda or make any decisions due to the division between liberals and
Islamists and their competition for membership in the coalition.
The meeting that was expected to only last
three days, still failed on Wednesday, its seventh day, to
come to any conclusions on agenda items. Many important members did not even attend the meeting anymore. Coalition insiders told the Anatolia news agency that former president of
the coalition Mouaz al-Khatib, vice-presidents Suhair al-Atassi and Riad
Seif and senior coalition members Walid al-Bunni, Haytham Malih, Louay
Safi and Burhan Galioun did not attend Wednesday's session. (However Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoğlu, as well as former French ambasssador to Damascus Eric Chevalier, U.S. Ambassador to Damascus Robert Ford, and Saudi Deputy Foreign Minister Salman bin Sultan did attend in order to try to bridge the divisons in the SNC).
Earlier on
Monday morning the SNC members agreed to include eight more members to the 60-member body --
six from the liberal bloc. But the enlargement discussion is not over
after the liberal bloc voiced its dissatisfaction. The liberal bloc, led by veteran opposition figure Michel Kilo, had
demanded that 22 of its members be included in the coalition, but were
given only 6 seats. But their attempt, which was backed by the the US an the West in general, was blocked by a Qatari backed block in which the Muslim Brotherhood has a final say. The liberal camp deliberated on Monday whether to
withdraw from the coalition. There were reports that two of the liberal members withdrew their membership in protest. Kamal al-Labwani, an ally of Kilo and a senior member of the
coalition, had already left İstanbul in protest at what he regarded as
the domination of Qatari-backed coalition Secretary-General Mustafa
al-Sabbagh, Reuters reported.
The statement said about the attempt to broaden the coalition that it was 'no more than a feeble attempt to
add persons and groups that have no real impact on the revolution'. It said that the groups 'rejected this attempt"and in its place demanded representation in the
coalition's leadership. "Our political representation should occupy no
fewer than 50 percent of the seats in the [coalition] and its leadership
bureaus," according to the revolutionary forces, who added that this was "a final warning" for the coalition. The statement was signed "The Revolutionary Movement in Syria" and among the groups that issued it were The
Syrian Revolution General Commission, the Local Coordination Committees in
Syria, the Syrian Revolution Coordinators' Union and the Supreme Council for
the Leadership of the Syrian Revolution. The Turkish Daily Hürriyet added that the protest by the groups amounted to an ultimatum of 24 hours to the NSC to include members of the groups inside Syria in its ranks.

A few friends have totally embraced the whole dolls house adventure I am currently on and they come up with ideas for the storylines, others are freaked out by it all….tee hee
One of the former came back from lunchbreak to say she had seen some little doll house bits and bobs in the shop Tiger. I went there as soon as possible and this little cutlery set was purchased, along with a gardening set and some copper saucepans. All for a very good price!
So the cutlery set has been the first to feature in a story for the Littletons (that's the name of the family who reside in the dolls house). The story I used to bring in the cutlery set was that Mr Littleton and his young daughter Victoria had visited Hever Castle in Kent (UK) and met Mr Astor who lived there and who renovated the castle greatly.
After they had enjoyed a lovely day, I said that they returned home with a lovely big gift! When they open the box it's the cutlery! Generous chap Mr Astor …
So here's what I did with the cutlery purchased from Tiger:-
It came in a plain little wooden tray with 6 compartments, so with a strong craft knife I cut it in half so I just had three trays.
I coloured the inside red to look fancy! and the rest black and gold.
Then I used the plastic cover it came with (I hope it looks like glass at 1/12th scale and in black and white) again I cut in half and used a little clear tape as a hinge.
I added a blob of gel all around the edge and attached a little brass fastener to make a little opener and voila that's it. Mrs Littleton loves it very much.
Thanks for looking
Back soon, Rosie

Stay comfortable while working and say goodbye to back pain
We are committed to researching, testing, and recommending the best products. We may receive commissions from purchases made after visiting links within our content. Learn more about our review process.
If you work in an office setting, chances are you spend the majority of your day sitting in an office chair that doesn't provide the best support for your back. As a result, you can leave work each day with an achy back and restless legs. Adding a lumbar support pillow to your chair can provide your back with the support you need to maintain good posture, maintain proper circulation and prevent muscle fatigue.
The lumbar support pillows on our list all include memory foam, which allows the pillow to conform to the natural curvature of your back and continue to provide the support you need. You'll find a range of lumbar support pillows to make the time spent in your office chair much more comfortable.
Best Overall: Memory Foam Back Cushion for Back Relief by Xtreme Comforts
The Xtreme Comforts Back and Lumbar Cushion is designed to prevent unhealthy sitting positions by providing the proper support to maintain the natural curve of the spine. The design helps increase blood flow, prevents muscle fatigue and back tightness, and allows you to sit comfortably without pain. At 13 inches wide, the cushion design includes unique four-point quick snap straps that allow the cushion to be secured to any chair. The cushion is made from 100 percent Deluxe Body Active Memory Foam that conforms to your individual shape while maintaining uniform density. The cushion cover is crafted from 100 percent bamboo, providing superior air circulation and breathability to keep your back cool. The cover is removable and can be washed in the machine with cold water.
Best Value: Vremi Premium Support Memory Foam Lumbar Support Pillow
The Vremi Premium Support Lumbar Pillow is made from 100 percent premium memory foam that curves to the unique shape of your back to provide the support you need to maintain your posture. Made from a black hypo-allergenic cotton and lined with complimentary gray piping, the pillow will look professional in any office setting. The pillow comes with adjustable dual straps that allow you to securely fit the pillow to any size or style office chair. Measuring 13 x 12.5 x 4.25 inches, the lumbar pillow comes with a removable and breathable mesh cover that allows air to circulate, so your back stays cool.
Best for Shorter Torsos: Orthopedic Memory Foam Pillow by Relax Support
The curved structure provides your back with extra spine support, so you have a more comfortable sitting position. The pillow includes adjustable, removable straps you can use to secure it to the back of the seat. You can also remove the straps if you need to simply place the pillow in a chair. The pillow cover comes in black, gray, as well as beige and is made from breathable cotton that allows air to circulate to keep your back from getting hot. The cover is both removable and machine washable. The pillow measures 16.5 x 4 x 8.3 inches, which means it's a little shorter than some pillows.
Best for Firm Back Support: Duro-Med Relax-A-Back, Lumbar Cushion
The Duro-Med Relax-a-Back Lumbar Cushion includes a wooden insert that adds extra support for those who need a little firmness in their back cushion. Designed to relieve tension and keep the spine in proper alignment, the pillow cushion is made of highly resilient foam that doesn't lose its shape with continued use. The cushion includes an elastic strap with a buckle that can be used to hold the cushion in place on its chair, ensuring it doesn't slide around as you reposition yourself. The cover is conveniently removable and washable. Just unzip the cover and wash it on gentle cycle in cool water to clean the cover and maintain its durability. And, if you want to match your pillow to office décor, you can choose from gray, black, burgundy and navy.

The set includes a lumbar cushion and a seat cushion for optimal support, and it's ideal for anyone who sits in an office chair for a long period of time. The 100 percent orthopedic memory foam lumbar support pillow keeps your back aligned while the seat cushion relieves pressure. The seat cushion is made with a special heat disbursement gel that keeps the cushion cool for longer. Included with the set is a zipper bag that doubles as a carrying case for your pillow and seat cushion. Keep the set cool by removing the outer cover and washing it. Air drying is best to preserve the quality of the covers.
Best Memory Foam: Lower Back Pain Lumbar Support Cushion

With the dual adjustable strap, the pillow can be securely fasted to any chair and kept snugly in place while you sit and work. A convenient handle is attached to the side of the pillow making it easy to take with you as you move to conference rooms for meetings or to take the pillow home with you over the weekend.

The strap can also be used for transporting the roll itself. It measures 11 inches long with a diameter of 4.75 inches. The cover can be removed and machine-washed.

An orphanage in Vietnam – through the eyes of Khuong (age: 7)
Allow me to introduce you to Khuong. Born physical challenged (seems to be cerebral palsy), he was left by his parents on the doorstep of Ky Quang II Pagoda at a very early age. Since then, he has been looked after by the orphanage attached to the pagoda.
Unfortunately the orphanage is not really equipped to deal with kids like Khuong. It's divided into two sections – one for the "normal" kids, and one for intellectually challenged kids. Khuong doesn't really fit into either category, but as he requires more assistance than the other kids, he has been placed in the latter of the two sections. This is a shame, as he is both bright and independent, but has neither ample intellectual stimulation nor access to professionals who can help him learn to control his body more effectively and work to be as able to help himself as possible in spite of his challenges.
Recently I have started visiting Khuong with some friends to help give him more intellectual stimulation and also help as much as we can to give him opportunities to practice both gross and fine motor skills to expand his physical capabilities, or at least not to lose what he has at this point. I've only been a few times, but I've fallen in love with this kid, as he's mischievous, smart, and completely determined to do as much for himself as he possibly can.
On my last visit, I had the idea of giving him my camera to use as a way to express himself in a different way. The images to follow are Khuong's photos. I held the weight of the camera, and Cuong looked through the viewfinder to direct what he wanted to shoot and pressed the shutter himself. He had a great time, and it was interesting seeing what things in his room that he thought were photo worthy.
The first thing he wanted to photograph was his roomie who has shared the room in the orphanage for about as long as he's been there. Their relationship is very close – this is probably as close to family as Khuong has.
After that he decided Chau would be a good subject…
Chau is the girl who I usually visit the orphanage with. The two of us – along with two other friends of mine – make a trip once a week to the orphanage to visit Khuong.
Next was a girl who they also share the small room with?
Khuong told Chau it was the TV he had taken the photo of – the girl just happened to be in the shot! After the TV, Khuong thought the next most interesting thing was the fan above him.
I hadn't even noticed the fan, but then I realised that Khuong spent a lot of time laid out on the floor looking upward, so he had probably spent hours at a time staring at that thing spinning around.
After that, he photographed the blue cloth that covered the window at the end of the room.
The room accommodates not only about five kids (although a couple are too old to really call kids anymore), but also the lady who cares for them (in the background of the photo of Chau above) and her son, who is a guard at the orphanage and pagoda complex. Obviously the conditions are fairly basic, as there is limited funding to run this orphanage. This is generally the situation across Saigon, and Ky Quang II's orphanage offers better conditions than many of the others.
I was wondering why Khuong hadn't tried to take the lady's photo, but then he decided he'd run out of subjects, so she'd do fine.
I decided to share the photos Khuong took (plus the one I took of him when I was showing him how the camera worked at the top of this post) not just because I wanted to tell his story, but because I will be leaving Vietnam at the end of November (I'm moving back to Australia), and I hope that this post can help encourage one or two people to take my place on the visits to the orphanage. Khuong is a really great kid who deserves to have some help developing physically and intellectually while he's stuck in an environment that doesn't really facilitate it. I intend to start teaching him to read, but I won't be around long enough to complete that, so people who have experience teaching and at least a basic understanding of Vietnamese would be really great, but honestly, just having visitors is enough to make Khuong's day and brighten his life a little. We also interact a little with Khuong's roomies, so it really lifts the atmosphere of the place. Just taking Khuong out of the room to feel the sunlight on his skin or to watch the excavator digging foundations for a new building nearby makes him light up, and with his personality and cheeky smile, it's impossible not to get hooked!

'I love your camera'
One of the worst things you can say to a photographer are those four words. ''I love your camera'' or ''I need your camera''. I have this said to me almost every.single.day and it grinds on me each time. It's nothing against those that say it, because perhaps they don't understand. But it's like saying to Picasso ''I love your paintbrushes". No. No. No! It's not about the equipment – yes the equipment helps but it's having a creative eye that plays the main contribution. Not every single person with a DSLR is a photographer. Not every single person with a paintbrush is Picasso.
A lot goes into taking a good photo. The subject, the lighting, the style, the location, the angle, the shutter speed, the ISO, the aperture setting, the format you shoot in, getting the exact right moment, the post processing, using photoshop and so on. Anyone can take a photo but it does not make them a professional photographer. Anyone can dance, but that doesn't make them a professional dancer. I'm pretty sure you get where I'm going with this.
Since almost every person who owns a phone nowadays has access to a camera, we've seen a rise in the "Girls with a camera" stereotype. Someone gets a DSLR for christmas then suddenly they have their own website and Facebook page proclaiming they're a photographer. That's why people like me, that have trained to be a photographer at university, have to put up with providing photos at such a low rate. That's why people like me are stuck in a dead-end job cleaning up after elderly people instead of making an income from the profession they studied. Don't get me wrong, I don't believe you have to go to university to become a photographer (probably one of the worst mistakes I made!) and I know everyone has to start somewhere.
Just never think that by saying "I love your camera" to a photographer is a compliment. It is the complete opposite. It's the biggest insult you can give. Instead maybe say "You're a great photographer" or "I love your work". Saying "Oh you're camera is amazing" is like saying "You're only a good photographer because your camera is so good" No. No. no! I'm sure every single photographer that has had this said to them can see exactly where I'm coming from. If not, then maybe you're not a photographer. Drop the DSLR.

A year ago to this date, a brutal Israeli offensive on Gaza took place. This tiny strip of land had been besieged for many months already and its people were already denied the very basic amenities of life. Yet, a year ago Israel launched a brutal and bloody attack on Gaza that killed at least 1400 people. This savage attack did not distinguish between civilians and militants, and people generally agree that the Israeli response to the termination of the cease fire was at least disproportionate.
The Israeli-given reason for this attack was to fend off the Hamas make-shift rockets that were fired onto southern Israel, which have escalated after the end of the cease-fire. However, this is hardly the case. The Hamas rockets are very primitive and make-shift. They are literally composed of gun powder in pipes that fly. Thus there was no infrastructure for Israel to take out. Plus, the Israeli attack did not stop the Hamas mortars even after it finished.
Unfortunately, it seemed that this attack was little more than a political move to help a candidate win an election. At the start of the offensive, the ruling Israeli party (Kadima) headed by Tzipi Livni were losing in the primary polls against pro-war hardliners and right-wingerssuch as Benjamin Netanyahu. This full-scale attack (without the interference of George Bush in has days in office) boosted Livni's poll numbers and made the elections closer. Unfortunately, besides the large Palestinian death toll, this was the only outcome of this campaign on the Israeli side.
The Israeli attack didn't distinguish between militants and civilians, and very little was done to minimize civilian casualties. Israel continued to justify that their mass bombing was because Hamas militants were hiding behind women and children. However, it seemed like Israel was using that as a ready excuse to justify anything (and little proof of that was provided in many cases). For example, Israel bombed a U.N. school that was temporarily housing refugee families which resulted in killing at least 40 people all of which were civilians. Israel also ignored international conventions and weapons that were banned internationally to be used against civilians. For example, white phosphorus was used in civilian locations which is banned internationally. To make matters worse, Israel prevented international news reporters from entering Gaza so as to limit the amount of information getting out.
As I mentioned before, much has been said about this offensive. A U.N. fact-finding investigation of this conflict (what is sometimes called the "Goldstone Report") concluded that both Hamas and Israel were to blame for the conflict, and concluded that Israel committed war crimes and and possible crimes against humanities.
I personally do not agree or support Hamas, and I have stated that on multiple occasions. However, regardless of your political views you have to acknowledge that what Israel did in killing more than 1400 people, at least 1000 of whom were unarmed civilians, and at least 300 were children was extremely wrong and inhumane. Today, Israel is still denying basic amenities and even cement from entering Gaza to rebuild the destroyed homes.
On this day, it is worth giving a moment to think and reflect.

Teens complete first aid coursePosted: 22nd February 2019
Teenagers are now able to respond to emergency situations after undergoing first aid training.
The group of 20 Year 13 students from Epping St John's School worked with St John Ambulance to learn how to use CPR, use a defibrillator, how to clear an obstruction on a choking patient and how to give the Heimlick manoeuvre.
Cleo Doncaster, Year 13 student, said: "I found this a very worthwhile experience. It has made me more confident going into my future career as a nurse and has given me something relevant to talk about at my nursing interviews in the next few weeks."
Stephen Hehir, executive head, said: "It is so important for students to be able to learn these important life skills of first aid. Achieving highly is important at Epping St John's, but so is developing well-rounded citizens of the world with life skills such as first aid.
"Well done to all involved."
The enrichment programme was funded by a student's Jack Petchey prize money.
All students received a certificate of completion.

What is your personal history with these Vivaldi cello sonatas?
These sonatas literally belong to my DNA like no other repertoire. My mother, who was a very good amateur pianist, played them with a cellist friend even before I was born.
Later on, when I started playing the cello, the scores were already around as part of the furniture and the melodies were already in my head.

Last month, I'm sure that Avengers: Endgame and Game of Thrones were pretty much all that occupied anyone's Facebook feeds. Both have inspired a massive number of memes, but they have also inspired Film Riot's Ryan Connolly to create budget-friendly filmmaking tutorials.
After he showed you how to get the Game of Thrones look on a budget, here are some ideas on how to shoot a realistic war scene. It was inspired by Avengers: Endgame, and while it's shot with a totally DIY approach, it still looks really good! All it takes is some dirt, fake blood, some lights and a minimal amount of special effects.

Avocado Ideas
For a nutritionally complete and tasty meal for your baby food beginner, avocado is the ideal food. They provide more than 25 essential nutrients, including fibre, potassium, Vitamin E, B-vitamins and folic acid. They also act as a nutrient booster by enabling the body to absorb more fat-soluble nutrients, such as alpha- and beta-carotene and lutein, in foods that are eaten with the fruit.
NOTE: The pit and skin of an avocado can be toxic to pets - so please make sure you dispose of them safely.
Avocado Allergy
IMPORTANT: Although allergy to avocado is rare, your baby is at an increased risk of experiencing an allergic reaction to avocado if he has a latex allergy.
It seems a strange connection - but avocados contain substances called chitinases. These substances are associated with the latex/fruit allergy syndrome and they increase in avocados that have been treated with ethylene gas to encourage them to ripen more quickly. Organic avocados that have NOT been treated have a reduced allergenic potential.
If your baby has a latex allergy, you should probably avoid avocado during your baby's first year and discuss the introduction of avocado with your child's doctor.
Food Allergies
avocado pear
Slice open an avocado and spoon its creamy flesh straight into your baby's mouth.
To make it more manageable for baby's very first meal, spoon it into a bowl and mash it with a fork. For a smoother texture still, you can purée it in a food processor. If you are introducing avocado to your baby after the recommended age of 6 months, you shouldn't really need to add anything to thin the consistency. But if you do feel the need to make it a bit thinner, just add a little breast milk or formula as you mash or purée the fruit.
Note that the tannin in avocado can cause it to become a little bitter when cooked. If you wish to include avocado in a cooked dish, add it just before serving.
NOTE: When youre travelling with your baby, avocado makes an ideal fast food. An unpeeled avocado doesn't need to be kept cool and can simply be sliced and served to your baby when you're out and about.

Ministers' speeches
Ministers' speeches
Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov's opening remarks during talks with Chinese State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi, Sochi, May 13, 2019
We are pleased to welcome you to Russia. Strategic cooperation with China is our long-term priority and meets the objectives of improving neighbourly relations and sustainable development of the two countries.
This year marks the 70th anniversary of Russian-Chinese diplomatic relations, and our leaders continue to meet frequently, setting the tone for bilateral relations. Just two weeks ago, President Putin took part in the 2nd Belt and Road Forum in Beijing, and your coming here is an important phase of preparations for this year's main bilateral political event, which is President Xi Jinping's state visit to Russia.
The mechanism of regular meetings of heads of government and the five commissions, which review various sector-specific issues of our cooperation, is quite active. Region-to-region contacts are quite robust and continue to expand.
We value our military and defence industry cooperation and the interaction of our respective law enforcement agencies, including in areas such as combating terrorism, drug trafficking, organised crime and extremism. Trade, economic and investment cooperation, interaction in high-tech industries and trade in agricultural produce are expanding.
Our relations are based on the neighbourly, friendly relations between our peoples as evidenced by the ever increasing number of youth and people-to-people exchanges and various other forms of public diplomacy.
Our countries cooperate at various multilateral venues, including the UN, G20, the SCO, BRICS and RIC. We are working to couple the integration potentials of the EAEU and the Belt and Road Initiative with an eye towards eventually forming the Greater Eurasian Partnership.
Overall, Russia-China cooperation is one of the key factors in maintaining international security and stability, establishing a multipolar world, democratising global governance mechanisms and ensuring the supremacy of international law.
I appreciate this opportunity to consider the course of cooperation in a variety of areas, including bilateral relations and international affairs. I'm looking forward to having productive talks.
Welcome again.

Aquagen Maximum Performance Oxygen
- Enhances Alertness
- Increases Energy and Stamina
- Boost Endurances
- Extra Strength
What is AQUAGEN
AQUAGEN is the world's foremost oxygen supplement technology.
It's unique, proprietary formula bonds oxygen in a natural solution of distilled water.
The highly concentrated oxygen is released into the bloodstream through the digestive system where it is distributed throughout the body by red blood cells.
Oxygen and Health
Medical practitioners and nutritionists agree that oxygen plays a significant role in sustaining a healthy mind and body.
AQUAGEN is a stabilized oxygen supplement for the body.
Today, pollution increases around us in the air we breath and the water we drink; daily stress steals oxygen from our bodies; and other dietary deficiencies reduce the life-sustaining oxygen that leads to healthy cellular metabolism.
The body cannot function properly without a dependable supply of oxygen–and many believe that oxygen depletion may be the cause of disease.
AQUAGEN is a safe, pH balanced oxygen supplement that puts oxygen back into our bodies and may enhance mental awareness, physical endurance and stamina and ensure a better quality of life.
The Power of Oxygen
Nutrients in our bodies—such as proteins, carbohydrates and fats—must have a constant supply of oxygen to convert "potential" energy into "usable" energy.
This "energy" is what fuels our bodies and gives us the endurance and stamina to survive and thrive in our daily lives.
Aquagen efficiently supplements the body's oxygen supply to effect this transformation and give our bodies vital energy.
Cellular regeneration ( we lose billions of cells every day) requires the bonding of oxygen with amino acids in our bodies.
The AQUAGEN technology offers an effective oxygen supplement to help in this daily rebuilding process.
The toxins and pollutants that invade our environment and bodies through air, food and water can be inhibited or even destroyed by ample amounts of oxygen in our bodies.
Thus oxygen is the basic ingredient of energy and life! Oxygen is not manufactured or stored in our bodies—it is consumed by our cells every moment we breath (and by this very act of breathing we create the need for constant oxygenation).
AQUAGEN, the premier oxygen supplement on the market today, provides this essential source of extra oxygen to the body.

Middle Marking Period Conferences
To make the most of parent conferences, we have them in the middle of the marking period rather than at the end. This allows time to implement strategies to help students become more successful before the report card is issued. We also require students to come with their parents, which keeps everyone on the same page and keeps misinformation to a minimum.

CAMPBELL COUNTY — After losing their first and only District 3-AAA game this season to visiting Campbell County on Jan. 30 at Oak Ridge High School by a score of 56-54, Lady Wildcats' head coach Paige Redman noted, "In the end, this could be a good thing. It depends on how our girls want to respond. It's their decision."
CAMPBELL COUNTY — After losing their first and only District 3-AAA game this season to visiting Campbell County on Jan. 30 at Oak Ridge High School by a score of 56-54, Lady Wildcats' head coach Paige Redman noted, "In the end, this could be a good thing. It depends on how our girls want to respond. It's their decision."
After that game, coach Redman said she walked into the Oak Ridge girls' locker room calmly and said to the team, "This can either light your fire or you can turn it off and quit."
Fast forward to last Thursday night in LaFollette for this season's district rematch with the host Lady Cougars. Campbell County's players — and fans — definitely get fired up when Oak Ridge High School rolls into town and Thursday was certainly no exception.
Junior Lady 'Cat Jada Guinn struck early for Oak Ridge, but Campbell County tied it up just as quickly at 2-2 before missing a subsequent 3-pointer. Six minutes into the game, Guinn hit her own trey from the right corner to expand Oak Ridge's lead to 5-2 and the Lady Wildcats led 11-4 with four minutes to go in the first period.
Leading 15-6 with a little less than three minutes left in Period 1, Campbell County's Skylar Boshears went to the charity stripe and cut the lead to 15-8 at the 2:29 mark and a 3-pointer by Lady Cougar Blair Medley made it a four-point game with two minutes left in the first stanza.
Senior Lady 'Cat Mykia Dowdell scored again but Campbell County kept pace — until the final minute of the first quarter when Dowdell sank a 3-pointer, senior teammate Desiree Bates scored on a layup and Oak Ridge senior Jaymi Golden scored an at-the-buzzer layup following the steal to make it 24-15 going into the second period.
All total, Guinn scored a dozen points in the first period of play alone, while Dowdell contributed six, Bates scored four and Golden scored two.
In Period 2, Oak Ridge outscored the Cougars 12-9 and led at the break 36-24. Campbell County outscored the visiting Lady Wildcats in the third period 12-7, but Oak Ridge outscored their host 17-8 in the fourth and final quarter to end up sharing this year's District 3-AAA title.
The Campbell County Lady Cougars finished their regular season with an overall record of 19-8 and a district record of 13-1, while the Oak Ridge Lady Wildcats finished their regular season with an overall record of 21-5 and an identical district record of 13-1.
At Campbell County on Thursday night, Oak Ridge's Jada Guinn was top scorer for either team with 23 points. Mykia Dowdell scored 17 points, Desiree Bates put up 12 points, Jaymi Golden had six points and Brianna Dunbar scored two. Bates had two 3-pointers, while Dowdell and Guinn had one apiece.
Skylar Boshears was the only Campbell County player in double figures. She scored 16 points with half of those made in the first period.
"We talked about our defense, and we wanted to be effective," said Oak Ridge coach Paige Redman. "And we were able to play at a faster pace."
Redman said she loved the fact that her players were all "battling," that they were "all focused" and that they all wanted the ball in their hands.
"It's a matter of pride. It's a matter of desire," she said. "I am super proud of our team's effort."
While the District Tournament gets underway immediately this week at Halls High School in North Knoxville, the exceptional district play of both the girls and boys varsity teams at Oak Ridge High School gives them a breather until much later in the week.
In fact, the Oak Ridge girls won't play again until 4 p.m. Friday at Halls. And, at that time, the Lady 'Cats expect to be ready to go full throttle.
"It's a reality check. … Whether you are co-district champions, second or first seed … whatever," coach Redman said. "(In the post-season), you've got to win or you'll go home."

Indian buyers seeking winter spot LNG cargoes
Gujarat State Petroleum Corp, India's state-run oil and gas company floated a tender for a couple of liquefied natural cargoes for end-January, early February delivery.
Citing trade sources Reuters reports the tender is valid until January 8 and is closing on Monday.
The delivery window for the two cargoes is set between January 20 and February 10.
In addition to the GSPC cargoes, Indian Oil Corp is reported looking to buy a single spot cargo.
While Indian buyers are expected to continue regular purchases of spot LNG cargoes during the winter period, however, it is unlikely that the demand for the chilled fuel will spike.

The Insider Picks team writes about stuff we think you'll like. Business Insider has affiliate partnerships, so we may get a share of the revenue from your purchase.
The Ecobee3 smart thermostat has always worked with Amazon Echo products. Now it ships with one.
To celebrate the launch of the 2nd generation Echo Dot, Ecobee and Amazon have teamed up for a great bundle.
The terms are simple: Buy an Ecobee3 thermostat and get the Echo Dot for free. No offer codes, no hoops. Just one click, two products.
The Ecobee3 is a powerful smart thermostat that lets you adjust your home's temperature in a couple of ways.
The first is by touching the Ecobee3 itself; its front side is a touchscreen, so heating, cooling, and setting adjustments are just a few taps away. If you're away from your home, you can also adjust your home's temperature through Ecobee's app.
What separates the Ecobee3 from its competition, though, is the inclusion of an external sensor that you can stick in any room of your house. That sensor detects when people come and go, and will trigger a change in temperature accordingly. There's no point in overly heating or cooling an empty house, right?
With the Echo Dot connected to your Ecobee3, you'll be able to adjust the temperature with your voice — no apps or taps necessary.
I've used a smart thermostat for a couple of years now, and it's a significantly better experience than using an old one. There are no fancy tricks required to make your home warmer or cooler, and they don't reset at weird intervals causing you to wake up freezing.
Pairing that with the power of Amazon's Alexa virtual assistant creates a pretty compelling combo. In fact, it's what I'm going to do at my mom's condo, except she has a different smart thermostat installed because she's become comfortable with it.
If you've been putting off starting your smart home and want to see what the space is all about, there isn't a better offer on the market.
With this bundle you can upgrade the way you control your home's heating and cooling system while getting a smart home hub that you can use with dozens of other smart-home devices. If a friend or family member asked me where to start there smart home, I'd point them to this deal.
All-New Echo Dot (2nd Generation) + ecobee3 Smart Thermostat, $249 (normally $298.99)

Is the deterioration of your home's siding creating problems in other parts of the house? The siding is a necessary component for the protection and preservation of your structure. Many factors can contribute to the decline of your siding. Severe storms can hurl debris or hail that puncture siding. Your siding may have become vulnerable to water, with rot as the eventual consequence. It can also simply get too old, a common reason for new siding installation.
At Expert Roofing, we provide a full slate of siding repair and replacement services. You can select from a variety of types and materials for your siding, and each one comes with unique benefits. When you're interested in siding installation in Crystal Lake, IL, call our company at (877) 766-3341. Our expert roofing staff promises to combine speed and workmanship with premier customer service.
The Benefits Of Residential Siding
You can install siding in several unique materials, such as vinyl, aluminum and cedar. The different siding materials shield your house from storms, and many of them raise the energy efficiency of your house by reflecting the UV rays from the sun. You can install siding in many different colors, but when you want energy efficiency, the pale hues perform best in hotter climates. Are you interested in learning more about your options for siding installation in Crystal Lake, IL? Our roofers are willing to answer all your inquiries and get you set up with a meeting with one of our siding experts!
Do You Need Siding Installation?
Seeing siding damage is not necessarily easy, but there are a handful of symptoms you can look for before serious damage sets in. Pale and distorted panels are a sign that your siding is aged and needs replacement. If your siding panels are warped, your home is in danger of moisture and mold growth. Water spots on your siding are also a symptom that you have moisture built up between the siding. Don't simply clean away water spots, try to find where the water is dripping from so you can have a repairman solve the problem. The caulking and screws in your siding can also show you if there is damage anywhere. Rusty nails or chipped caulking should be replaced.

Nicholas Rothschild is the 11 year old lead guitarist and is from Boca Raton, FL. Nick has been called a prodigy when it comes to playing the guitar and to watch him leaves you spellbound. He was recently dubbed the "son Eddie Van Halen should have had" by Iron Maiden's Nicko McBrain.
From the tender age of 6, this rocker has been honing his skills for the world stage. Emulating his favorite guitarists, Van Halen, Govan, Hendrix, Zappa, Beck, Becker and Malmsteen. Nick does not just admire them, he practices hours a day, trying to master their techniques while becoming a guitar hero in his own right.
When you speak with Nick for the first time, you are drawn in by his angelic face and sweet brown eyes, never knowing the secret he keeps. When you see Nick play his guitar for the first time, you will be left in shock at his gutsy maneuvering and uncanny talent that many adults to seasoned pros cannot boast.
Nick began performing at the age of 7 with the School of Rock under Yazmani Velasquez, who has helped him become the performer he is today. This is where Nick met the rest of his Krush bandmates and was named to the School of Rock house band, the youngest performer ever to earn that honor. He is currently studying with guitarist/recording artist Scott Gailor.
He dreams of attending the Berklee School of Music, touring the world with KRUSH and someday being recognized as one of the world's top guitarists. When you ask Nick, "Why do you love playing guitar so much?" he kindly responds, "I love to perform and inspire people."

Service Learning
Service Learning is a general term for a wide range of pedagogies that are based in the community. More than volunteering, service learning projects work best when they strike a good balance between the learning needs of the student and the "common good" needs of the community partner. The instructors section of UWL's Community Portal provides resources to identify community partners and projects for all forms of community-based learning, including service learning.
Here are several types of service learning. Each requires a different type of preparation for students.
|"Pure" Service-Learning
|Sending students out into the community to serve (not placed into any discipline) – E.g. FYE Introduction to Multiculturalism + Diversity
|Discipline-Based Service-Learning
|Students expected to have a presence in the community throughout the semester; using course content as basis for analysis + understanding
|Problem-Based Service-Learning
|Students (or teams) relate to the community as "consultants" working for "clients." They try to understand and address a community problem or need
|Capstone Courses
|Designed for majors and minors; use knowledge from entire body of course work and combine it with relevant service work. Goal could be to explore a new topic or synthesize student understanding of discipline
|Service Internships
|Intensive placement; reflection throughout internship using discipline-specific theories
|Undergraduate Community-Based Action Research
|Students learning research methodology; intensive work with communities to define research questions; advocacy-inspired

Summary of Research
Service learning, along with other forms of community-based learning, is a "high-impact practice." Research focuses on two facets of impactfulness: how it benefits students and communities, and what makes it effective.
Effectiveness: service learning works best when
- all parties achieve reciprocity: the community activities and the course are both shaped through partnership
- community activities fit well with the course
- the course and the community activities develop students' civic competencies
- students engage with a broad range of people across multiple types of intereactions
- student reflection is well integrated into learning activities (e.g., it functions as a metacognitive tool)
- instructors assess for continual course improvement
- students have a voice in the community components
Benefits: students may benefit in any or all of these ways, depending on the type of engagement
- cognitive development
- learning outcomes
- problem-solving, critical thinking, problem analysis
- retention
- grades
- personal growth
- interpersonal and civic skills
- cultural compentency
- reduction of stereotypes
- career development and related skills
Implementing a service learning project takes time and patience. See Rubin (2001) below for a process that helps you integrate service learning into both your course and your own research. This downloadable worksheet is based on Rubin.
Wisconsin Campus Compact is our partner for this work: their website includes many many resources. Gavin Luter, formerly of Wisconsin Campus Compact, conducted two workshops for UWL in April, 2018. His Linking Classrom and Community: Considerations for Planning, Implementing, and Institutionalizing Service-Learning (from powerpoint) covers a broad set of issues and includes dozens of citations. Designing Effective Community-Based Learning (from powerpoint) delves more deeply into implementation and is also abundant with references. Critical topics in both of these presentions include developing partnerships, and diversity issues (both for majority-group students working across social hierarchies, and for partners working effectively with all students). Luter's worksheet helps you think through the implementation process. Part of this worksheet asks you to identify potential partners in the community; the best place to start looking for partners is at UWL's Community Portal (see the links below the "UWL Instructors" box on the far right).
Learning outcomes
Your first step is always to define the outcomes. Miami Dade College, like many other institutions that have service-learning centers, developed learning outcomes for their service learning programs. They provide their list and then show a wide range of disciplines developing students' skills, insights, and knowledge through service learning in this 5 1/2 minute video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UCQ0DGzqfdc&feature=related Stanford University's Graduate School of Business offers its students life-changing service-learning opportunities organized around social and environmental issues. Students discover how useful -- vital, in fact -- business skills -- and listening skills -- are to solving complex and even intractable problems in this 5 1/2-minute video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dsD_SfYRLAs. P. 4 of "The Role of the Faculty Member in Service-Learning" from Tennessee State University is another good place to start.
Guiding Student Reflection
Guiding student's reflection is a critical component of effective service-learning. Several of the resources below offer a wealth of ideas for weekly responses, discussion questions, journaling, and other assignments that help you integrate the community experience into your course.

The first time I saw this set of cards I was blown away by the beautiful imagery and even though I have collected many different decks now I still consider this one to be my favourite for reading for myself and others. The picture scenes are loosely based on the Rider Waite deck but some of them are specific to the deck, however you will have no problems in knowing which cards represent which. The four suits are based on four ancient cultures recognised for their cultures. The cups being depicted by Arthurian England with characters from the time of King Arthur. The colours are beautiful and vibrant with glorious skies and sunsets in the background. The Wands depict scenes from Egyptian and African cultures. The Swords have (and I prefer these ones the best) absolutely stunning scenes based on ancient Japan whilst the pentacles or discs called 'sacred circles' in this pack depicts scenes from snow covered red indian lifestyles.
As a person who would like to see all cultures live harmoniously together whilst keeping their own identities and histories alive then I find this pack really speaks to me. All the cards are beautiful whilst some also hold suprises such as 'the fool' which actually depicts Tracey Hoover reading the tarot. This is the person that devised the tarot and wrote the book which accompanies Some of the other cards feature people close to the author as well.
The back of the card features a clever silhouette of a group of people worshipping the sun and the reverse is the same silhouette of people worshipping the moon. Although you can tell which way up the cards are I don't think it detracts. I personally always use upright cards with this pack although I use reversed cards in some others that I have.
Also, the size of the deck is only slightly larger than a standard pack of playing cards so as I have small hands I find it very easy to shuffle and handle this pack.
As with all the best tarot cards the picture on the card should not spell out everything at once and should have small but relevant details that are noticed only if relevant in a reading for example. I noticed only this week that in the eight of cups, one of the cups shows the reflection of a fire out of the picture which I had not noticed before. This I interpreted as leaving something warm and comfortable behind to look for something better.
I think this deck is suitable for the experienced tarot reader and the novice alike. Standard meanings can be applied to the cards which also have an excellent little white book in the pack which gives a lot more insight than normal and is as almost so good that you do not need the book which you can order to accompany the deck. I would say that the book does give a little more insight into the history of the cultures and why they are depicted on the cards in the way they are.
All in all a brilliant little deck and highly recommended.

Saturday, April 25, 2020 • Milwaukee, WI • Course Map
A run along long stretches of Milwaukee's 118-mile-long Oak Leaf Trail is what awaits runners at the all-new Brew City Half Marathon, which makes its second running this spring on an out-and-back course that starts and finishes at Estabrook Park, a 122-acre park that stretches along the Milwaukee River.
The race begins at Estabrook Park, right near the Estabrook Beer Garden. From there, runners will head first along the park roads and then jump onto the Oak Leaf Trail, a paved multi-use trail for walkers, runners and cyclists that stretches more than 110 miles around the city, and winds its way into all of its major parks and parkways.
Nearly all of the course keeps runners on the trail, which is largely fast and flat, as it heads south along the Milwaukee River toward nearby Riverside Park. After the turnaround point, just before the mile 4 marker, runners head back north along the trail, continuing to take in the views of the Milwaukee River.
Runners can expect a pair of turnarounds in this section of the race – the first between mile markers 3 and 4, after which they'll head back north and repeat the stretch of the race they've just run, starting with the Oak Leaf Trail and running all the way back to Estabrook Park and continuing north along the trail.
The second comes between mile markers 9 and 10, which brings runners all the way north to the stretch of the trail next to West Mill Road. After that, they'll head back south to Estabrook Park, for the race finish next to where they started.
Beer and a live band will be waiting for runners at the finish line, organizers note, and runners will have 3 1/2 hours to finish the course.
Race Weather & Climate
Nestled along the shore of Lake Michigan in southeastern Wisconsin, Milwaukee typically sees still quite chilly weather in April, which has brought record temperatures here as low as 13ºF (in 1954) and as high as 92ºF (in 1980).
On race day (April 25), the average low is 40ºF and the average high is 57ºF.
