The Hartford Home Office Employee Fitness Center
Weight Room
Cardio Room
Group Exercise with TRX Suspension Training
Locker Room & Showers
Physical Therapy Room
Massage Room
Reception Area
Owner: The Hartford
Type: Employee Fitness Center
Location: Hartford, CT
Area: 8,380 Square Feet
Completion: 2012
Project Description:
One of the employee benefits The Hartford offers that sets it apart from many of the region's other major employers is an Employee Fitness Center with no membership fee. When The Hartford instituted this policy, it became apparent that this would require an expansion and renovation to their Home Office Fitness Center in Hartford, Connecticut. This work included cosmetic renovations to the Locker Rooms with a focus on expanding the capacity of the locker area. The Weight Room and Cardio Room were renovated and reorganized to provide adequate space for new and additional equipment. A TRX Suspension Training System was added to the Group Exercise Room, as was storage for Spin Equipment. A new Check-in and Office Area was added and all of the Audio/Visual equipment was replaced as new systems were installed. Special accommodations were made to control both the generation of sound and vibration from this Fitness Center due to its location adjacent to several sensitive areas of the Home Office.

After the wonderful Mothers Day session I got to meet with this little peanut again over the summer time. This time for a baby photography here in Golden, Colorado. I love being able to see my little clients grow. When I first meet her she was sitting up, but not yet crawling. This time she was in full on exploring the world mode.
At this age, everything is exciting and fun. Touching the leaves entertained her for a good while. Maybe she will grow up to be a nature lover seeing how she's growing up in beautiful Golden Colorado.
When you are in a hurry to grow up, getting to practice walking with daddy is the best! The happiness of this little activity shines through her.
For the most part I go unnoticed at this age. I can follow along and take pictures of the babies being their adorable self. But every once in a while they notice the strange red haired lady that keeps pointing a camera at her.
Don't you wish you could fly sometimes? Or at the very least walk on air!
Did I mention how fun it is to fly! What an adorable happy face.
One of the advantages of living in the foothills are the amazing views. The parents requested a session with Table Mountain in the background. Golden Colorado is simply an amazing place to live in.

Multiple Word Document Printing Issue
Okay, my apologies if this is a duplicate post because I tried looking on the site for information about this issue and was unable to find it. If anyone has any ideas, please let me know.
So we work in a Win 7 environment with Office 2013. I have a user who prints multiple Word documents, they are Appeal Letters from a Health Care Company. When she highlights say any number of them, for arguments sake, lets say 10, and I know the limit is like 14 set my Microsoft, then she right clicks them and selects print. The Office program beings to open Word then attempts to print these documents. Well the first one always fails to print with a message "Cannot complete this command, there is a dialogue box open". But it then prints the next 9 documents after you close the message out. Unfortunately, I see no dialogue box.
Is there a fix for this?

Just tried printing multiple word docs, by highlighting them, right-click and print. All documents temporarily opened in Word, then they printed.
Have you tried Word 2013 Repair?

Humm...that is where I would begin troubleshooting.
Have you tried:
Event viewer > Microsoft Office Alerts? press Windows & r, type eventvwr left column navigation pane Application and service logs > Microsoft Office Alerts are there any errors being reported?
Uninstalled and reinstalled printer driver?
Printing through WiFi and Ethernet the same?
Scan for system file errors? sfc /scannow from Administrative CMD. Integrity violations?

Jun 27, 2014 04:00PM
● By Style
California Backyard
Whimsical Gifts:Christina Novello took over as owner of Mélange this past March. The store, which opened seven years ago, showcases 22 vendors and their work, whether it's furniture, vintage clothes, jewelry or other collectibles. "I have been a lover of old things and treasures my whole life," she says. "It started with a spare room in my grandmother's house she called her 'junk room.' I couldn't wait to spend time in it and hear old stories about what was in there. I think there is a need to honor our pasts and what better way to re-purpose, re-love or re-new something old." Mélange is also the top spot for finding gifts with a crown on it or Eiffel Tower décor. "Audrey Hepburn would love it," she says. "Our customers generally embrace the unique treasures they find in our store, whether it be a piece of restored and repainted furniture, a hard-to-find collectible to complete their own set at home, or a whimsical item that they know will be perfect for a special loved one." Location: 307 Riley Street, Folsom, 916-357-5800

Vintage Décor and More:Lisa Wolf opened Burlap and Bees at the same location of her great grandfather's gas station in the 1950s! The store name is a metaphor for its style—a mix of rustic chic with a French flair, explains Wolf. "It's also an homage to my mother, Bea, who dragged me tirelessly through antique shops and flea markets as a child," she shares. When opening her store, Wolf never hesitated about having other vintage and home décor stores on the block. "Historic Folsom is known for its vintage and antique stores and people come to the area specifically to find that," she says. "I always say people wouldn't go to Napa for wine if there were only one winery. The same goes for Folsom—the more vintage and antique-type stores, the more it becomes a destination for people who enjoy that." Gift items are very popular at Burlaps and Bees, including the Simpatico Hobnail Candle in Verbena or Pine. And the Dee Foust Collection is known for its seasonal items. "We were already selling out of Fourth of July decorations in May!" she says. Location: 306 Riley Street, Folsom, 916-790-2337

Christmas Décor All-Year Round:Dorothea's has been a Sutter Street staple since 1965, and it's recently changed ownership to Jim and Sherri. "We wanted to keep the Dorothea's tradition alive," Jim says. "My wife and her family have been shopping here for years." Whether you're looking for a gift for a spouse, a friend, a relative, a cowboy, an athlete or a fashionista, there's a special gift for them at Dorothea's. "These ornaments would have meaning whether the person enjoyed sports, food, western, collected birds, roosters, fish, dogs, cats or any other item that was near to their heart. Dorothea's would most likely have an ornament to suit their needs," he says. And though their specialty is Christmas, they have a huge following for Halloween as well. Location: 801 Sutter Street, Folsom, 916-985-2714
All Your Gardening Supplies:Green Acres Nursery & Supply is a local, family-owned plant nursery that opened in 2003.

"Anything edible has been very popular, including fruit trees, berry vines, blueberries, vegetables and herbs." Green Acres also sells high-quality organic soils and fertilizers, tools and pretty much anything else you need to grow your own garden.

Whether you need just one accessory or are looking for backyard concept design, he's your guy—and his 51 years of experience prove it. Buzz also keeps track of the new trends in grilling. "The hot things now are slow cooking and smoking, so the Kamado-style or Big Green Egg grills are great for that," he says.

125/365 A sight i did not want to photograph on my way home from work
123/365 Reservoir Berks?
122/365 Summer and feeeeeeeling GOOD!
121/365 In desperate need of a bit of dress up!
After 6 days in nothing but pajamas I needed to put on some clothes, shoes, make up and lipstick like NOW! So I set up a silly 50's housewife photo shoot while I pinned up my hair and waited for it to dry and then showed off how long my hair now is in my garden! (loooongest ever! woo!) I am still on the long and twisty road to recovery health wise, I now a feel like i have the flu, as opposed to swallowing razor blades and being unable to breath! Result! .... erm...... Hey at this stage I will take any improvement for the better as great news!
P.S. I seriously <3 these new wedges SO much!
120/365 In my garden
I first saw this grass at my Mum's house and loved it! It's called Quaking Grass, what an awesome name! She gave me a handful of seeds to sow in my garden and a year later voila! The graceful nodding heads of the subtly coloured flowers are so adorable, and look like tiny lanterns. In the garden these nod gently in the breeze and look great grown in groups. And best news for me, they self seed and grow without any need for attention at all! In other news, i have woken up feeling slightly better AT LAST! i will LIVE to fight another day!! whoooooooooop!
119/365 My office, not that i even remember where that IS now!
I have now been off work for 4 days with this horrendous tonsillitis, I am MISSING my little cubicle, and thought I would remind myself what it looks like. I have never had this much time off from school / work anything! MAN I am getting irritated now! The top one is my "corner office" as I like to call it, not one for someone with a fear of heights, as I can see all the way down to the cafe at the bottom of the 3 floors, and also across the glass atrium and into other peoples offices! Super cool for spying on people, less good for being spied on - i.e. people often stand on the 3rd floor balcony and call me from their mobile, watching me look at the number flashing up on my phone while deciding whether to screen them or not! haha i often get busted!! *grin*
Number 2 is a close up of my desk, minimalist to say the least! Just my PC and screen, an ioniser and photos of my gorgeous BF (and of course all my "glassware" which is just to the left as you can see in shot 1 - to remind me of all the good times!)
Number 3 is the Inspiration board my desk buddy Shilpz and I have created, with Winners Circle being in Hawaii for this year, we have gone for a blend of retro Hawaiian posters, cocktails, beaches and erm owls.....you knew i had to get one in there didn't you....
Ahh who would have thought that I would miss work?? Life is nothing but a journey of learning hey? (and yes I AM taking large amounts of painkillers, hence may be slightly hallucinatory....)
118/365 Meanwhile in my twilight world..
Damn this tonsillitus! it's trying to kill me! In fact yesterday my throat was so swollen i was 30 mins away from the paramedics being sent according to NHS Direct! So not much excitement available on the photographic front! Here's a close up of some of my cute fairy lights! Back to drinking honey and lemon tea and the tv then *sigh*
117/365 Surely i am too old to have tonsillitus???
But I have got it! So in a decision to fully embrace the retro nature of this illness (last time I had it I was about 12 years old I am guessing) I am spending sick time revisiting the 80's - and solving a Rubik's cube while watching the awesome Brat Pack Movie "St Elmo's Fire" which was the catalyst many years ago for an overweight, spotty and swotty teenage girl, with dark hair and no confidence to change her name to "Jules" like Demi Moore's character in the film, thinking that way there was always the outside chance she might get to look like her and be as glamorous as the Jules character in the film.... no comment!!
116/365 And my Mum too!
I LOVE these old photos I found of my Mum and Dad, they look so 70's - tastic cool baby yeah! I think that I do look very similar to my Mum in the black and white one too! And this bottom photo is a recent one of us at a family dinner, I love it! It's not the most flattering photo of either of us, but I think it shows the love and the fun and laughs we ALWAYS have when we talk, either when we chat on the phone or get together, she really is my best friend as well as my Mum.
115/365 Fathers Day!
114/365 Kartoflusalat or Icelandic Potato Salad for lunch!
1 3/4 lbs potatoes (boiled tender, peeled & cubed)
3 eggs (hard-boiled & chopped)
6 -8 gherkins (chopped)
1/4 onion (chopped, larger amt if desired)
3/4 cup mayonnaise
3/4 cup sour cream
1/2 teaspoon curry powder (or up to 1 tsp)
lemon juice (optional as desired)
salt and pepper (to taste)
We had this loads for lunch in Iceland on holiday at the beginning of this year, but this is the first time we've made it ourselves, and it is YUM!
113/365 British summer *sigh*
YES i am moaning about the weather two days in a row! Its the middle of June, and to go out to dinner in London last night i wore a coat and gloves....GLOVES!! I mean REALLY... words fail me... (But you CAN just see my adorable gold watch peeping into the corner of the shot there, damn i do <3 that watch!
112/365 And they call it British Summer Time because????
I mean seriously, is it ever going to stop raining here? I have my heating on!!! *checks which month we are in again* ... oh yes it's JUNE!?!? *sigh* But i did manage to step outside for 5 minutes in a break between rain showers to shoot these cute yellow flowers in my garden lawn.. weeds I hear you say?? Nooo.... it's my "Wild Flower Meadow" .....ahem.......
111/365 Cheers!
109/365 My new photographic study
It's a work in progress, but a definite improvement from the room I just hung the washing up to dry in! The chair is my first ever successful e bay furniture win, so so pleased with, its pretty immaculate and a third of the cost of a new one from Ikea, score! In the process of sorting out stuff, I found both my old college photography portfolio and a REALLY old family album (photo 3) As you may know from previous posts, I had thrown ALOT of stuff away over the last few years, and so to find a couple of real gems like these nestling at the back of an old cupboard was really exciting! The goal board is up where I can see it, and I have WiFi in here too so I can sit and edit while looking out the window. You also can't see a huge bookcase for my growing collection of inspirational photographic books, which is on the left. I think all that's missing now is to actually hang up some of my favourite photos from this year! (BTW Shot 4 was me attempting to take a studious self portrait, but failing, goodness knows what I am doing here, I am hoping just tucking a piece of stray hair behind my ear, but it looks more like I am about to backhand the wall! *sigh*... elegance, not really a key skill of mine... *grin*)

The rain got my sketch all wet, but it's no big deal. I'll surely remember this day, not only because I had my first Dick's hamburger — the Dick's Deluxe with two patties, but because I met owner Dick Spady, who opened this restaurant, the first of five in Seattle, on January 28, 1954. (For the record, I've had the milkshakes in the past, but never a burger!) I really enjoyed talking to Dick and did a sketch of him that I'll be posting tomorrow, Veterans Day. Dick served in the U.S. Navy during World War II and with the Air Force during the Korean War. All day Wednesday, to thank veterans for their service, his restaurants will be providing free cheeseburgers to any veteran with an ID or in uniform. "We appreciate our country and the people who defended it in the past and in the present," Dick said. Many people were already lining up before the drive-in opened at 10.30 a.m. I talked to Adrian Wright, of Tacoma, right after he bought an ice cream, a milkshake and two burgers for his party waiting in the car. He is in town to attend a job fair and took the opportunity to come to Dick's. "It's kind of a landmark," he said. "It's not a chain, it's local, it's good food." New to the blog? Read my first post, where I introduced myself. You may also follow the sketcher on Twitter and Facebook. Comments | More in Food and restaurants | Topics: Dick's Drive-In, Wallingford

We analyze how an incumbent defends its competitive advantage with a focus on the under-examined methods of actively defending against the threats posed by rival innovation. We describe, delineate and analyze the set of such defenses and their likely effects. The set of such defenses differs substantially from many standard defenses, such as those aimed at defeating the threat of imitation. The further study of these pre-emptive innovation defenses is important because these defenses are different and because they can substantially affect the sustainability of firm profits and the pace of different of types of innovation.

Cayman got its first real test for the next generation of female volleyball stars.
The Cayman Islands would go 0-4 during the North, Central America and Caribbean Volleyball Confederation Group E First Round Tournament of the 2014 Fédération Internationale de Volleyball Women's World Championship.
Cayman head coach Keith Higgins states in spite of the result, the ladies have a promising future.
"The team is very young and we got closer to what I expected from the period of time that we've been training," Higgins said. "We are rebuilding volleyball in the Cayman Islands, that is why our team is a very young one. I'm expecting good things of them."
Cayman lost the third place playoff game to Aruba 0-3 (18-25, 11-25, 13-25) at the University of Technology Auditorium in Kingston, Jamaica. As a result, the Dutch nation clinched a spot in the second round of qualifying next year. Joining them would be tournament winners Jamaica and Barbados.
Cayman fielded a young and inexperienced squad with some ladies from the youth ranks. The team captain was Anita Lansdell and the top player was Chante Smith-Johnson, 15. Lansdell summed up her team's performance. "We've improved during the tournament so we must keep working on the basics," Lansdell said. "We are trying to work on our fundamentals. We are hoping to build as each game goes by; we have been practicing together for several months so things are improving." Heading into the tournament, Jamaica and Barbados were seeded 12th and 13th in the NORCECA rankings while Aruba and Cayman shared the 30th position.
The tournament marks the second time in two months that Aruba defeated Cayman in world championship qualifying.
Back in October, the Papamiento crew edged out the men's team in Frank Sound. That fact is especially painful for Higgins, who coached the men.
It figures to be a growing process for the women indoors, with established stars Cristin Alexander and Jennifer Bily focusing on beach triumphs. Nevertheless, Higgins states the local ladies are on the right track.
"We played very well against a more experienced team than ours in Jamaica.
Against Barbados, the result wasn't as good as against Jamaica but the team is growing, their defence improved, there were less errors in our serves but we must work on our blocking.
"We have to stay focused, as I said before we are rebuilding. The team is young and they also have to learn how to win."

Yeah, that is what the seat of the infant rider looked like. Nasty. I think there was a creature living in the padding on the back. I didn't take a picture to show you. Let's just say, I was not about to put a baby in the thing. So I decided to make a new one. I couldn't find any tutorials out there, so I made some step by steps. It was a super simple process, I don't know why I didn't do it sooner.
- 1-2 yards of canvas or other sturdy material. I got a yard of 54" canvas from Walmart that worked just fine.
- 1 yard of fusible fleece. It really doesn't have to be fusible, but it's what I had, and made the project even easier.
- Thread
First, use your old nasty seat pad as a pattern. I traced it onto a double layer of fleece first, also marking the strap holes. In retrospect, you don't need to mark the holes now, because they won't show once its all turned. When you cut this out, allow for a seam allowance by cutting about a half inch outside of the line.
Do the same thing to a double layer of fabric. It kinda looks like an airplane, don't you think?
Now iron your fleece pieces to your fabric pieces.
Pin your two assembled pieces, right sides together, and stitch, leaving about a two inch opening so that you can turn it right side out.
Don't forget to notch your curves so it lays nice and flat. Here it is all turned right side out.
Next, I marked lines where the folds are, and topstitched those. It just makes it fold easier and fit into the seat better.
Now, mark and make your strap slits. I used my button hole foot for my machine.
Last thing, mattress stitch your 2 inch hole shut!
I also changed this:
To this:
And I included little loops, so I could attach a toy or cup, or whatever else. Knowing my daughter, she would throw anything she had out of the seat.
Unfortunately, we can't go riding just yet. The infant helmet I thought I had, is nowhere to be found. Sigh…
But she'll look sweet upon the seat of a bicycle built for two!

A how-to guide for legalizing pot
A panel of academic, legal and law enforcement experts led by Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom has produced a sensible set of recommendations on how California should legalize recreational marijuana, if that's the path we choose.
Unfortunately, there's no guarantee these smart policies will be built into any of the legalization initiatives possibly headed to the November 2016 ballot.
A new initiative reform, however, gives the Legislature the opportunity to work with advocacy groups to improve a marijuana ballot measure. In its report issued Wednesday after two years of study, the Blue Ribbon Commission on Marijuana Policy gives legislators a helpful blueprint.
Rightly, the panel says that California should be cautious and stop the industry from becoming like tobacco and alcohol, dominated by a few large companies. The commission correctly prioritizes protecting children and promoting public health and safety over maximizing tax revenue.
Devising a fair and efficient system of taxation is particularly thorny. The commission doesn't recommend a tax rate, but does discuss the advantages of taxation at every level of cultivation, processing and sales. It also says that taxes can't be so high that it pushes customers into the illegal market, and that revenue should help pay for enforcing limits on sales to people under 21 and on growing pot on public lands.
Importantly, the report spotlights the importance of preventing environmental damage from cultivation and of recognizing the drought's impact.
We can learn some lessons from states that have already legalized recreational pot. For instance, the panel says that pot brownies and other edibles, which turned out to be a problem in Colorado, need to be tightly regulated.
But California is much larger than Colorado, Oregon and Washington state, and we're different. We have large cities and vast rural swaths, including state and national parks. We have a population that is ethnically diverse, with large numbers of youths and poor residents. As the panel says, we need "laws and regulations that are specifically tailored to California."
In its 93-page report, the panel doesn't try to settle every potential issue. It emphasizes that legalization would require successful implementation over many years.
What we don't want, however, is a repeat of Proposition 19, which some legalization proponents got on the 2010 ballot. It was badly flawed and went down to a deserved defeat.
Moving toward a potential proposition next year, this could be the first big test for the 2014 initiative reform law championed by Darrell Steinberg, the former Senate president pro tem. It is designed to change the "all or nothing" system in which initiative backers can't make even minor fixes once they start gathering signatures.
Under Senate Bill 1253, the Legislature can negotiate with initiative proponents, who can withdraw their measure if lawmakers help create a better product.
The operative word here is "can." Other than holding a public hearing, the Legislature isn't required to do anything. And given its frustrating inability to reach consensus on how to clean up the medical marijuana mess, there's reason to doubt its will to act.
Yet if California voters are going to get another chance to decide this issue, everyone's goal ought to be to present them the most well-drafted measure possible.
To make that happen, Newsom and other commissioners have done their part. Legislators will need to do theirs.

ConceptFirstly, what is meant by saying capsule? Well, simply put, it is a cylinder that (instead of flat ends) has hemispherical ends. By cylinder I mean a circular one (not elliptical). Hemispheres have the same radius. It should also be mentioned that the given body is solid (not hollow).
(eq. 1)
(eq. 2)
(eq. 3)
CylinderBefore we dive into integration here is the Cartesian coordiante system we will be using for cylinder:
Figure 3. Cylinder and its position relative to coordinate system.
(eq. 4)
(eq. 5)
(eq. 6)
Hemisphere capsThe following is how the hemisphere is defined relative to Cartesian coordinate system for the purpose of integration:
Figure 4. Hemisphere and its position relative to coordinate system.

(eq. 8)
(eq. 9)
(eq. 10)
(eq. 11)

The tensor
(eq. 13)
(eq. 14)
CodeThe following code implementation is given in C-like language and is fairly optimized.
#define PI 3.141592654f
#define PI_TIMES2 6.283185307f
const float oneDiv3 = (float)(1.0 / 3.0);
const float oneDiv8 = (float)(1.0 / 8.0);
const float oneDiv12 = (float)(1.0 / 12.0);
void ComputeRigidBodyProperties_Capsule(float capsuleHeight, float capsuleRadius, float density,
float &mass, float3 ¢erOfMass, float3x3 &inertia)
float cM; // cylinder mass
float hsM; // mass of hemispheres
float rSq = capsuleRadius*capsuleRadius;
cM = PI*capsuleHeight*rSq*density;
hsM = PI_TIMES2*oneDiv3*rSq*capsuleRadius*density;
// from cylinder
inertia._22 = rSq*cM*0.5f;
inertia._11 = inertia._33 = inertia._22*0.5f + cM*capsuleHeight*capsuleHeight*oneDiv12;
// from hemispheres
float temp0 = hsM*2.0f*rSq / 5.0f;
inertia._22 += temp0 * 2.0f;
float temp1 = capsuleHeight*0.5f;
float temp2 = temp0 + hsM*(temp1*temp1 + 3.0f*oneDiv8*capsuleHeight*capsuleRadius);
inertia._11 += temp2 * 2.0f;
inertia._33 += temp2 * 2.0f;
inertia._12 = inertia._13 = inertia._21 = inertia._23 = inertia._31 = inertia._32 = 0.0f;
mass = cM + hsM * 2.0f;
centerOfMass = {0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f};
It would seem that centerOfMass is useless, but I have left it here because it is important part of rigid body properties and often a requirement for physics engines.

I quite like the SDK series' music indeed, but I think I'll opt out of owning them for now.

• OTI's industry-leading EMV and FeliCa contactless readers are the latest innovations in FeliCa payment industry
• Japan's estimated 6 million electronic vending machines represent a major opportunity for OTI's innovative secure cashless payment solutions in the Asia-Pacific market

Top 5 High Fibre Indian Foods
Created by Tanuja Sodhi Updated on Sep 20, 2013
I still remember my childhood days when my mom would give me and my siblings that stern and unrelenting 'no-nonsense look' which very distinctly indicated that we needed to polish off the 'roughage' served on our plates. Little did we analyze what roughage meant while we struggled to sponge the remnants on our plates, fearing our dear mommy's chiding.
Well, it all makes sense to me today as a nutritionist and a discerning adult.
Dietary fibre or roughage comes from parts of plant food that is indigestible and assists the digestive system with processing foods and absorbing nutrients. There are two types of dietary fibre, namely: insoluble fibre and soluble fibre.
Insoluble fibre benefits those who struggle with constipation by promoting the movement of stool through the digestive system. Soluble fibre dissolves in water and helps lower blood cholesterol and glucose levels. A food item is considered to be high fibre if it contains at least 5 g of fibre per serving.
We need at least 25-35 g fibre daily for a healthy bowel. To be precise, the recommended amount of fiber for all individuals is 14 g per 1,000 calories ingested. Based on these recommendations, girls aged 4 to 8 need 17 g of fiber per day, boys aged 4 to 8 need 20 g, girls aged 9 to 13 need 22 g and boys aged 9 to 13 need 25 g.
Main Benefits of Fibre
1. High-fibre foods aid in digestion by acting like a sponge and aiding elimination. These foods provide satiety by adding bulk to our bowel and hence, prevent constipation.
2. Fibre reduces the risk of heart disease by lowering bad cholesterol and unclogging arteries.
3. Fibre slows the absorption of sugar and keeps glucose levels in check. This helps prevent and manage Type 2 diabetes.
4. Eating fibrous foods aids in weight loss as these foods tend to have more volume and fewer calories, and stave off hunger pangs for much longer time.
Top 5 Fibre Rankers
While picking up the top five categories of fibrous foods, I focused on the ones that provide a lot of bang for the buck (i.e., those that keep us full and have high nutritional value with fewer calories). The 5 categories are: whole grains, fruits, vegetables, legumes/lentils and nuts/dried fruits/seeds.
1. Whole Grains
a) Oats: These have highest level of soluble fibre amongst all grains. Review section has a whole write up about oats but the layout of the same needs to be revised. This review then should be hyper linked to the word oats her)Eating one cup of oatmeal provides 4.0 g of fibre and about 60 calories per serving.
b) Whole wheat or multigrain roti: A mixed-grain roti boasts of almost 4 g of fibre.
c) Barley (jau): A cup of cooked barley provides 6 g of fibre.
d) Brown rice: One cup of cooked brown rice gives 3.5 g of fibre.
e) Whole wheat or multigrain breads: These offer 1.9 g fibre and about 65 calories per slice.
2. Fruits
a) Pears are very high in roughage amongst fruits. There is about 5.5 g of fibre and only 51 calories in a medium sized pear.
b) Apples provide about 4.4 g of fibre at roughly 55 calories in a small apple.
c) Strawberries: A cup of strawberries provides about 3 g of fibre and an average of 2 calories per strawberry.
d) Orange: A medium orange (100 gm) provides about 3.1 g of fibre with just 47 calories.
e) Bananas: One medium banana contains 3.1 g of fibre and around 100 calories.
3. Vegetables
a) Cooked peas top the vegetable list with a massive fibre content of 8.8 g and 67 calories per cup serving size.
b) Brussels sprouts offer 4.1 g of fibre through a cup of serving.
c) Raw carrots offer 1.7 g of fibre and 21 calories for a small carrot with about 88 % water.
d) Broccoli has 5.1 g of fibre and about 52 calories per cup.
e) Sweet potato: A medium sized sweet potato contains around 4 g of fibre.
4. Legumes and Lentils
a) Lima beans (Sem phali): There are 13.2 g of fibre in a cup of cooked lima beans.
b) Kidney beans (Rajma): One cup of cooked red kidney beans provides 13 g of dietary fibre.
c) Black-eyed peas (lobia): One cup of cooked black-eyed peas contains about 12 g of fibre.
d) Garbanzo beans (Kabuli chana): One cup of cooked Garbanzo beans or chick peas provides 10.6 g of fibre.
e) Lentils (dals) like arhar/masoor /chana: Lentils provide between 15 to 17 g of fibre.
5. Nuts, Seeds and Dried Fruits
a) Seeds: 100 g of seeds like sunflower seeds 9 g, sesame seeds 12 g and pumpkin seeds 6 g are an excellent choice for fibre, as are naturally dried fruits.
b) Nuts like almonds and walnuts are good sources of fibre. While 100 g of almonds provide 12 g of fibre, 100 g of walnuts offer 7 g of fibre.
c) Dried figs: 100 g of dried figs provide about 11.6 g of fibre.
d) Prunes provide 7 g of fibre per 100 g.
e) Raisins provide 4 g of fibre per 100 g.
Keep offering a variety of fibrous foods to your little tykes to make them a part of their balanced diet. While your child would get habituated of eating healthy fibrous foods, you'll set the tone for a lifetime of healthy eating. So, clear out your kitchen cabinet of all chips, cookies and soda; and train your family, particularly your child, to snack on these top 5 food types which should definitely be kept handy in your pantry and refrigerator to be eaten daily.

For a Polish Sample Space with a Borel -field with a surjective measurable transformation, we define an equivalence relation on sample points according to their ergodic limiting averages. We show that this equivalence relation partitions the subset of sample points on measurable invariant subsets, where each limiting distribution is the unique ergodic probability measure defined on each set. The results obtained suggest some natural objects for the model of a probabilistic time-invariant phenomenon are uniquely ergodic probability spaces. As a consequence of the results gained in this paper, we propose a notion of randomness that is weaker than recent approaches to Schnorr randomness.
1. Introduction
To understand the meaning of randomness several approaches have been undertaken. Some of them include Kolmogorov [1], Martin-Löf [2], Zvonkin and Levin [3], and Schnorr [4] among many others.
On the initial attempts, researchers were trying to identify when a sequence of numbers was random. The sequence of digits of or sequences of computer-generated numbers produced by an algorithm that seems to exhibit a "random behavior" motivated the original problem. In any case of interest, the sequences are elements of or and researchers would like to give a criterion that decides for a sequence to be "random." In general, sample spaces that allow a Polish Space structure and a surjective transformation (the shifting transformation) embrace the interesting cases.
In this paper, we show that a natural approach for a sample space is to consider all samples that describe the same physical time-invariant phenomenon. We would demonstrate that this method allows for a richer probability structure. The latter introduces a different view for randomness, in a way that two sample objects are equivalent if they describe the same probability phenomenon (in a way that we determine precisely later), and, as a consequence, we give an alternative answer to the problem of trying to define randomness.
The Ergodic Theorem and the Ergodic Decomposition Theorem motivate our definition. Indeed, our approach goes hand in hand with Gray [5] and extends some results of Shields [6]. Some recent works which study the relation between Ergodic Theory and randomness are V'yugin [7], Gács et al. [8], and Galatolo et al. [9].
The Birkhoff-Kinchin Ergodic Theorem (See Billingsley [10]) states that if is a measure preserving transformation defined on a probability space and is an integrable random vector, then where is the -field of invariant sets (under ). For another interpretation of this fact, we define for each It follows that defines a (finite) kernel, where is an ergodic measure. Moreover for any measurable random vector The Birkhoff Ergodic Theorem implies that whenever is an ergodic measure preserving transformation and is an integrable random vector there exists a set with such that for
Using the terminology of Gács et al. [8], if satisfies (4), is said to be typical with respect to the observable . Moreover, if the last equation holds for any bounded continuous function , then is said to be typical. The latter is equivalent to the weak convergence of . For a review on weak convergence see Billingsley [11]. Moreover, if is typical for any effective ergodic surjective transformation, then it is said that is typical. For a definition of effective ergodic transformation see Gács et al. [8].
For any computable measure , defined on , with Borel -field , V'yugin [7] showed that any Martin-Löf random sequence is typical. For a review on Martin-Löf randomness see Martin-Löf [2]. Galatolo et al. [9] generalize the last result to computable probability spaces and -computable observables. For a discussion of the definition and consequences of computable probability, spaces see Gács et al. [8].
Moreover Gács et al. [8] extend the concept of Schnorr randomness to computable probability spaces, and they show that the idea of Schnorr randomness is weaker than the notion of Martin-Löf randomness in this context. For a definition of Schnorr randomness see Schnorr [4]. Gács et al. [8] also showed that on an arbitrary computable probability space space with no atoms is Schnorr random if and only if is typical for every mixing endomorphism .
In this paper, we obtain another approach to randomness. Assume that is a Polish Space, with metric , and assume the Borel -field on . Moreover assume a measure preserving transformation defined on . For most problems related to finding a reasonable definition for randomness it is sufficient to assume that is the sample space of real valued sequences with the metric , the shifting transformation , and the sequence of processes and with a probability that makes independent with the same distribution defined as for all Borel set.
With the help of the Ergodic Decomposition Theorem (see Proposition 1) it is possible to show that there exists a set with where, for any , are probability measures that converge weakly, and the limiting distribution is an ergodic invariant probability measure on .
The latter suggests, in a manner to be precise by Theorem 3, that only samples that describe a physical phenomenon (those whose ergodic limit is a "reasonable" probability) should be considered as samples for any physical "reasonable probability space." It is also apparent, as shown by Theorem 3, that a stronger theory can be established if other samples are not considered.
We propose to partition the sample space according to their weak ergodic limit: assume a measurable space , as above, and assume a surjective measurable function . We define an equivalent relation on , by iff for any bounded continuous function If we say that has the same stochastic type of . Clearly is an equivalence relation on elements on . Moreover if weakly and then weakly, and if is a null invariant probability (see Definition 2) then it is a invariant probability (see Theorem 3).
We notice that the requirement of weak convergence of as to a probability measure is quite natural. The latter is because for any probability space defined on a Polish Space with a measure preserving transformation for almost all the mentioned weak convergence holds (see Proposition 1). In the case where we say that stochastic type of is .
The main contribution of this paper is Theorem 3. Roughly speaking, Theorem 3 states that any reasonable space is divided into nonoverlapping subspaces, where on each subspace the statistics behavior of all the points is identical, and where these spaces have a simple statistical structure (they are uniquely ergodic). In fact Shields [6] [Section I.4.c] suggested in the case of finite alphabets ( for some ) that, as a consequence of the Ergodic Decomposition Theorem, such decomposition is natural.
As a result of Theorem 3, for any physical "reasonable probability space" only the samples that describe a physical phenomenon (those whose ergodic limit is a "reasonable" probability) are sufficient as realizations of the sample space to study the physical phenomenon (the other realizations are unnecessary).
In the current stay of affairs, for any sample realization of a probability space and any statistical application, only a finite set of values are observed, due to our technical limitations (the amount of time required to gather data is finite). Therefore, the assumption that any belongs to the sample space (for instance in the case that ) is a technical assumption that it is motivated as long as it provides a rich and consistent theory. However we are showing in Theorem 3 that a richer theory is obtained if we restrict the sample space to those whose weak ergodic limit is a null invariant probability. The gain achieved in the modeling structure arises from the fact that the limiting probabilities describing the physical phenomenon are uniquely ergodic.
Therefore, our conclusions suggest further studies could point out to consider the uniquely ergodic probability spaces as natural spaces for the modeling of any physical time-invariant phenomenon.
Also, as a consequence of Theorem 3, and results obtained by Gács et al. [8], a natural definition for a to be random is that converges weakly to a null invariant ergodic measure (see Definition 2). In fact, it follows that our definition of randomness extends to noncomputable probability spaces, and by Gács et al. [8] on computable probability spaces our notion of randomness is weaker than Schnorr randomness (and therefore weaker than Martin-Löf randomness).
In our approach, we do not consider any possible mixing endomorphism. Contrary to existing methods we fix a surjective transformation . Our approach works on any Polish Space, and it works for any probability measure (instead of computable probability spaces).
Issues that remain open include studying the consequences of modeling probability spaces as uniquely ergodic spaces. On the side of randomness, it remains open to examining definitions of randomness for discrete sequences that model non-ergodic Dependent Processes and a definition of randomness for functions defined on an interval (in the ergodic and non-ergodic cases). Finally, it remains open to provide specific sequences that are random (or whose limiting distribution is a particular distribution) and to provide examples of sequences that are random in the sense we give in this paper and are not random in the Schnorr sense (and therefore not random in the Martin-Löf sense).
2. Randomness
The first proposition says that on "reasonable spaces," for any reasonable physical realization, always the ergodic averages converge weakly to ergodic invariant measures.
Proposition 1. Assume a measure preserving transformation defined on a probability space , where is a Polish Space, and is the Borel -field. Let be the -field of invariant sets (with respect to ). Define by (2).
There exist a set with where for any , are probability measures that converge weakly to the ergodic invariant probability measure where is the regular conditional probability kernel with respect to of the Ergodic Decomposition Theorem.
Proof. Assume that is a countable dense subset of . We notice that the class of sets that are finite intersections of balls with a rational radius centered at points in is a countable -system with . Let be the countable field generated by . By the Ergodic Decomposition Theorem there exists a set , with such that, for ,where is the ergodic invariant probability measure corresponding to the regular conditional probability kernel with respect to of the Ergodic Decomposition Theorem.
Assume an open set , then there exist , with , where can be assumed disjoint sets with for each . It follows that for where the second equality follows by absolute convergence of , and the third equality follows Fatou's Lemma. Finally the result follows by the Portmanteau Theorem (see Billingsley [11]).
The latter proposition suggests that, for any reasonable physical realization (), the ergodic average converges weakly to an ergodic invariant probability measure. It turns out that a weaker concept for invariability is sufficient to describe the limiting ergodic behavior of any reasonable "physical realization."
Definition 2. Given a measurable space and a surjective transformation , we say that a probability measure defined on is a null invariant probability if implies that .
Under conditions of Proposition 1 we obtain a necessary requirement for the limit probabilities of to be null invariant. In Theorem 3 we prove that the latter condition is sufficient demand for the limiting probabilities to converge weakly to an invariant probability measure.
In the next theorem, we prove that for any physical "reasonable probability space" only the realizations (or samples) that describe a physical phenomenon (those whose ergodic limit is a "reasonable." probability) are sufficient as realizations of the sample space to study the physical phenomenon (the other samples are unnecessary) and that those realizations (or samples) partition the whole space according to the physical phenomenon that they describe. Moreover, we show that when we restrict ourselves to those samples that describe the same physical phenomenon (those whose limiting ergodic behavior is the same), the mathematical structure of the space defined is richer (in the sense that the probability spaces are uniquely invariant). The above conclusions make a strong point to consider the unique invariant probability spaces as natural spaces for the modeling of a physical time-invariant phenomenon.
Theorem 3. Assume a measurable surjective function defined on a measurable space , where is a Polish Space and is the Borel -field, where is a metric for which is a complete separable space. Let and assume that weakly, where is a null invariant probability. Then is a invariant probability measure defined on . Moreover ifthen is a measurable invariant set with where either or and is ergodic iff . Moreover, there exist a countable field where any open can be written as a countable union of elements of , such that, for any , and , (and in particular ).
Moreover, if is an ergodic probability measure there is only one ergodic invariant measure on (namely, ).
Proof. Let be a countable dense subset of . For each , define to be a countable set of balls with center at , with radius when such that , for , where , , and denotes the boundary of given set . The set with the desired properties exists by a standard argument. Let be the field generated by . Clearly any open set can be written as a countable union of elements in . By the Portmanteau Theorem for any .
For any set , it is clear that , and since the class of sets where is a -system that contains since is a null invariant probability, it follows by the Dynkin's theorem that for any , proving that is -invariant.
Clearly , for any , and therefore using the Dinkyn theorem the limiting measure associated with and is the same, proving that . We also notice that, for , if is an element such that , then , for any , and then by the Dynkin's theorem proving that . Next we prove that is a measurable set. For the latter, let be an enumeration of . Define byThen by the Portmanteau Theorem , where is defined by , and therefore is measurable.
By the Ergodic Decomposition Theorem, there exist a kernel and set , with with the property that for all for all , is an ergodic measure, andwhere is the restriction to of and is the -field of invariant sets (under ). It follows that for Since the class of sets where is a system, by the Dynkin's theorem it follows that for all , . In particular , proving that or .
Assume that , then by the Ergodic Decomposition Theorem, there exist a set where and , , for where is ergodic. It follows that is ergodic.
Finally assume that , and assume an ergodic probability measure on . It is clear that can be extended to , in a natural way as . We also denote the extension as . Moreover the extension to is also ergodic. By the Ergodic Decomposition Theorem, it follows thatIt follows that, on , and by the Dinkyn's Theorem on , and therefore on .
Probably the most interesting consequence of the previous theorem is the uniform convergence of ergodic averages for all sample points. If is a compact set then, for any continuous bounded function defined on (for the induced topology), for all uniformly on . The latter is the content of the Oxtoby Theorem [12] [Theorem 6.19].
The consequence of Theorem 3 that, for any , is ergodic iff has been observed in the case of finite alphabets by Shields [6] [Section I.9.b]. In fact Shields [6] [Sections I.4.c and I.9.b] suggests a similar approach in the case of finite alphabets, although uniquely ergodicity is not obtained.
Finally we observe some elementary facts of our definition.
Proposition 4. Assume a measurable space and a surjective transformation ; then: (i)If is periodic on in the sense that there exist with , with period (namely, , then ), where is a probability measure supported on a finite set.(ii)If there exist such that , then . In particular it is impossible to tell from a finite set of values of any information about the distribution of .(iii)For any , .

Kanye West Just Joined Instagram and His First Photo Will Surprise You
It's time to praise the social media deity, y'all, because Yeezus has FINALLY blessed us with an Instagram! That's righhhtttt: Kanye West finally caved and joined the social network just a little after 11am this morning.
While we were fully expecting to see an ode to Kim Kardashian-type selfie, or a too-cute for words snap of his mini-me Saint, Kanye surprised us all with a seriously unexpected first post. And, we must say, it's a rather beautiful, if slightly eerie shot!
Going the artsy route and leaving the intensity of his, umm, awe-inspiring tweets behind (for now), Yeezy shared this caption-less photo that looks an awful lot like it could be a movie still. Wait — is Kanye about to surprise us and direct a film? Is it from an upcoming music vid? What does it MEAN?
No one knows, but it doesn't really matter, because the snap has managed to get 50.5K likes and close to 8,000 comments in under an hour.
The social media mogul has yet to follow anyone as of press time (sorry, Kim), but he already has 296K loyal followers and we can't help but guess at what will come next! Posts of invaluable fashion advice? An unprecedented showing of his (surprisingly) sweet paternal side with babies North and Saint?
Whatever he chooses, it will be on his terms, thank you very much, as he explicitly stated via Twitter back in March.
That's a whole lot of ellipses, but we can only assume that means he's totally serious, and we are SO ready!
Will you follow Kanye on Instagram? Tweet us @BritandCo.
