Jane B. Hart Awards Honor Undergraduates
Congratulations to Lucy Jickling (Anthropology), Sneh Patel (Archaeology), and Lance Levenson (Biological Anthropology) for having the highest GPAs within their majors.
Congratulations to Jessica Calvanico (Anthropology), Robyn Le Blanc (Archaeology), Lance Levenson (Biological Anthropology), and Lia Schwartz (Biological Anthropology) for writing honors theses of exceptional merit.
Jane B. Hart, an anthropology alumna and former astronaut, generously created an endowment to support anthropology at GW. Starting in 2004, part of the money has been used for student awards. Names of all winners to date are at http://www.gwu.edu/~anth/ugrad/hartawards.cfm.
Prof. Miller Wins Teaching Prize and Gives Charge
The prize, named for Harry Harding, University professor of international affairs and dean of the Elliott School from 1995 to 2005, is awarded to a member of the faculty who has demonstrated sustained excellence in teaching and who has made extraordinary contributions to the education of Elliott School students.
"The best part of my day is when I am in the classroom," said Miller. "Interacting with our students is energizing and uplifting, because they have traveled to so many places, are interested in so many issues, and aspire to achieve so much."
In her charge, Miller offered the graduates five pieces of advice: "Don't ever stop asking questions, do not fear failure, keep improving your basic skills, have fun and take care of yourself, and be great."
Congratulations Profs. Feldman, Merritt and Vlach!
Prof. Marilyn Merritt was awarded the first-place prize in the 2008 Ethnographic Poetry Competition, sponsored by the Society for Humanistic Anthropology, for her poems "Waiting for a Young Poet in Niamey" and "Dakar Rhythms of Ramadan." All winning poems will be published in the Society's journal, Anthropology and Humanism.
On April 4, 2008, Prof. John Michael Vlach delivered the keynote address to the 40th meeting of the Louisiana Folklore Society, which was held at the University of New Orleans. In his speech "Shotgun Houses: Their Future 35 Years Later," he reviewed his path breaking research on the history of Louisiana's distinctive vernacular housing. Given that thousands of shotgun houses were destroyed by Hurricane Katrina, the future of this 200 year old form is at risk as new modern (and alien) replacements are beginning to take their place. If not studied carefully, the shotgun house tradition may be lost within a few decades.

Fox Racing Shox 40K Float F-S Grip2 Fit Boost Suspension Fork 29" 203mm 20TAx110 Boost, blk (2019)

En dansk tekst om denne vare er desværre ikke tilgængelig på dette tidspunkt.
The Fox 40 is the choice of many world champions and world cup winners such as Rachel Atherton and Danny Hart. Its float air spring provides extreme sensitivity for better traction and hardly lets shocks through to the driver. The proven LSC damper design offers unmatched adjustability for any track. For constant performance at any height, the fork is also equipped with a pressure compensation system.
FIT Grip2
The closed FIT damping of the new generation. The VARIABLE VALUE CONTROL unit gives you the feeling not only to increase the preload, but that the shimstack has been adapted to you. The sophisticated mid-valve design allows a more effective damping characteristic.
With HSC/LSC the pressure level of the fork can be changed for slow and fast response by simply turning the adjuster on the fork crown. HSC/LSC makes it possible to optimise for small waves and unevenness, but always has reserves for the big jumps.
Float Air Spring
Patented air transfer port system
The float air spring system reduces the breakaway torque and thus offers a highly sensitive fork and full comfort even with small impacts. And this for every type of driver and at the most varied air pressure. Similar to the float struts, the float spring system features a positive and a negative air chamber, which automatically balance each other when driving. Every driver enjoys the advantages of the correct, precisely balanced air pressure in both air chambers. The progression of the spring characteristic can be adjusted with air volume spacers - which enables every driver to precisely adjust the characteristics of the air spring.
The FLOAT air suspension of the Fox forks and struts can be fine-tuned by using volume spacers to adjust the suspension elements more progressively or less progressively. This allows the driver to fine tune the suspension exactly to his needs.

Skegness - Seaside Trip 2018
On 7th June, the whole school got to take their buckets and spade to the seaside town Skegness.
Upon arriving to the beach we all laid out our towels to eat our lunches. Then the children went straight to splashing in the sea and being buried up to their necks in the sand by each other. Before returning to the coaches everyone got to enjoy playing in the sand and eating delightful seaside ice cream.
Everyone had an amazing time. We can't wait for our next seaside trip!

I started with 2 rugs but then I picked up a 3rd one........
Update: Since I took these photos, I bought a few colored pots in the colors that I had been using here in the patio so I changed some pots out.......
I bought 6 pots for $6.00 at the Tornado Tent Sale being held daily at a Home Decor and Furniture store that was devastated by the Tornado that hit our area one month ago......
I bought this table at a yard sale and spray painted it bright yellow.........
I painted a wood candlestick and glued the newly painted birdhouse onto it.......

text: U.S. stock on Tuesday closed firmly higher and the technology-heavy Nasdaq notched a fresh record after Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell indicated that the U.S. central bank would continue raising benchmark rates due the the health of the economy but would execute its monetary-policy strategy at a prudent pace. The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, -0.95% closed up 0.2% at 25,119 (on a preliminary basis), marking its fourth straight positive finish in succession. The blue-benchmark's gains were buoyed by a rally in component Johnson & Johnson JNJ, -6.22%, which reported second-quarter earnings and revenue that were better than expected. Shares of the consumer-goods company gained 3.5% and contributed the lion's share of the equity index's Tuesday advance. The S&P 500 index SPX, -0.39% closed up 0.4% at 2,809, while the Nasdaq Composite Index COMP, -0.83% booked an all-time closing high, with a gain of 0.6% at 7,855. Providing testimony in front of the Senate Banking Committee, Powell said the "best way forward is to keep gradually raising the federal-funds rate for now." He will appear before a House committee on Wednesday. Meanwhile, economic reports supported the upbeat mood amid second-quarter corporate results that have mostly come out better than expected. Industrial production rose 0.6% in June to more than offset a similarly sized decline in May, the Federal Reserve said Tuesday. That was a tick above the MarketWatch forecast.

Working Out with Intention
I use Class Pass so I take a lot of group workout classes, like a lot. I've been averaging about 20 per month in various fitness disciplines and a variety of studios. Jumping between various workout hot spots continuously exposes me to new workout enthusiasts and fellow fit fanatics. Though I raise my glass to anyone who is there because getting to class is half the battle, I can't help but notice how many people are wasting their precious time and potentially hurting their bodies by not focusing on form and function. I see two extremes: People who go balls to the wall and lift the heaviest weight or use the maximum resistance no matter what, and people who float through every exercise like it's cake completely unaware that it's literally all wrong.
I am pretty hardcore when it comes to working out, but at the same time I am never too proud to modify. For instance, if in Pilates we're performing a long plank series and I feel my body sagging and traps taking over, I regroup on my knees. I'll hold my plank modified until my traps have relaxed and I can feel all the right parts working again. Similarly, if I'm performing a new squat series and my quads are burning or my lower back is pulling, I'll stop and ask the instructor to correct me. Often it's a minor adjustment that changes the exercise in a major way. The dancer in me has the discipline dialed in: I observe the way the correction changes how my form looks in the mirror andnotice how it feels different on my body so I can apply this knowledge on my own. This is how change happens and You Kong Do It too!
Be aware of your body. Be aware of the exercise know why you're doing it.
Listen to your instructor, your body and use the mirror to:
prevent injury
learn correct form and build the correct muscle
make the workout more fulfilling and enjoyable
maximize your time- you've made time to workout you might as well see some results
look like an athlete

When looking for the best view of Amsterdam you might have been at the Nemo, the Amsterdam library or the rooftop at the new Dam Square W Hotel. But from this weekend on you can also visit A'DAM Lookout where you can have a spectacular 360º panorama view of the city. A'DAM Lookout is located in the former Shell tower in Amsterdam North (Noord) next to the EYE Film Institute, just on the other side of the IJ from Central Station.
Today A'DAM Lookout had a special preview opening and my Sister, Darcy and I where happy to check it out! The excitement starts shooting up in the elevator, the staff warned us that some children can be scared of the flashing lights and loud music but thankfully Darcy seemed to love it. The view was amazing. I've not seen the city I've spent much of my life in from such a height. Darcy seemed to love it as well, she even walked over the glass floor without fear. The A'dam Lookout is a perfect spot for city landscape photography or just getting some special shots of the kids overlooking Amsterdam. We will definitely be back for another visit.

5 words to summarize this amazing property: Charm, History, Landscape, Peace and Comfort.
Today you have the possibilty to live in a homey and livable castle: forget a property of thousands square meters, that you'll never be able to fully enjoy. This is a property to be lived in its entirety and, contemporarily, with the charm and priviledge of living in a historic castle.
The building dates back to the 1500s and it is fully surrounded by nature, with a valley rising up to the hill in front of the house. Each hour, according to the season and the position of the sun, you'll have the feeling of beeing in a totally different landscape!
The property is currently under refurbishment: the outside structure has been fully restored using all original materials and stone and it is divided internally. Being the works in progress, you may decide to change the internal organization.
The total area of the main building is 250 square meters, divided as follows:
Ground Floor: big lounge with fireplace overlooking the garden and the hills in front of the castle, kitchen, 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, storage.
First Floor: big lounge, kitchen, 3 bedrooms and a bathroom
On top of the building, as all proper castles, there is a tower, which gives the whole property the unique look and a touch of magic: you can live it open and use it as a small terrace or you may decide to close it and have an additional bedroom or a quiet studio.
Ideally, the property is divided for 2 families, but it can easily brought back to its original state and have a single home for one family.
The land surrounding the castle is 3000 square meters, where you can build a swimming pool: just imagine a Sunday summer afternoon, chilling out by the pool with your family and friends, while you enjoy the show of the landscape right in front of you!
The property also enjoys an annex to be restored and that you can turn into a garage or a storage for your garden tools.
Amongst the numerous adavantages of this castle, besides its beauty and charm, there is its location, just 600 kms from the first village with services, while the beautiful medieval town of Matelica is less than 5 kms away. The access to the property is through a short communal paved road, connecting directly to the main road. Yet, once you enter your property, nothing will disturb your privacy and quietness, because the location of the castle is secluded and surrounded by silence and peace, with no highways or industrial buildings to spoil your view.
The castle is sold as it is or finished: it's up to you to decide if you prefer to make it look a little bit more "yours" or if you wish to just step in and enjoy your being the owner of a castle!

How To Cope With Restless Leg Syndrome
What is restless leg syndrome?
In 1945 a doctor of neurology by the name of Karl Ekbom diagnosed this condition and so it's sometimes referred to as 'Ekbom's Syndrome' or 'Willis-Ekbom' Disease. The 'Willis' named is the English doctor Sir Thomas Willis who, in 1672, first described the symptoms he had noted in a number of people - the symptoms in the 17th century are the same as they are today.
This is then a condition that is not new and at the present time affects millions of people worldwide. Let's first of all have a more in depth look at this condition and the symptoms.
Common Symptoms of restless leg syndrome
There are many conditions people can develop much more painful and certainly more serious than restless leg syndrome (RLS). However, for anyone who has suffered from this - either temporarily or permanently - it can be one of the most stressful conditions you could ever have. In addition to all this, it can be painful for some people.
Restless leg syndrome (RLS) is often classed as a neurological disorder as well as a sleep disorder. There is also another connected condition that can occur with RLS, called 'periodic limb movement of sleep' (PLMs). In addition, although a separate ailment, people can develop 'periodic limb/leg movement disorder' (PLMD).
RLS is also known as a spectrum disorder since the feelings can vary between people from mild annoyance to extreme symptoms. It also increases in severity for some but goes into remission for others. According to medical research carried out by the National Center on Sleep Disorders, (NCSD) USA, women are more likely than men to suffer from RLS as are people who have northern European ancestry. As we can see, this is a complex subject and medical research is ongoing. To date, the exact cause is unknown and there is no cure.
Let's take a look at what people experience when they suffer from RLS. The main symptoms are:
- Unpleasant feelings in the legs - or arms/torso - when resting. Moving the limbs stops the feelings for a few seconds.
- You can also have jerking/spasms of the legs while sleeping. This experience wakens people, leading to disrupted sleep and fatigue in the morning. This is known as periodic limb/leg movements of sleep,(PLMs). Another condition called periodic limb movement disorder, (PLMD), is an entirely different complaint but often occurs along with RLS. However, RLS is sometimes experienced during the day, PLMD is only experienced during sleep.
- RLS tends to be worse from evening onwards. However, as previously mentioned, there are people who suffer during the day as well. Symptoms can arise while sitting on a chair at home or at work, or perhaps sitting on a bus or even in a theatre.
- RLS - in some cases - might be a symptom of another medical condition. Although the cause of RLS is not known, researchers have linked it to rheumatoid arthritis, diabetes, anaemia and kidney problems.
Feelings in the limbs have been described as:
- creeping
- prickly
- burning
- spasm/jumping
- itchy
- pins and needles
- twitching
- uncomfortable
- very deep pain/aches
This is one of those conditions that may not sound much to people who don't experience it. However, RLS can in effect rule a person's life. Here are some experiences from people from the NHS (National Health Service) UK Website:
- "...It's the afternoons and evenings! I cannot sit down in an armchair or sofa. The kitchen stool seems better (why?) I cannot go to see a film or play or just slob and watch the TV - I would love to. Sometimes I have to stop driving, because if it is really bad the leg jerk is uncontrollable. I work in an office and sometimes can't sit at my desk - I work standing up. As for the journey home on the train ..... It is worse if I feel closed in too. RLS rules my life and I am so sick of it."
- "I have had RLS for about 6 years now and it is getting worse I am now taking ropinirole 3 mg just to get through the night. I take citalopram for stress which I'm told makes the RLS worse, but as yet no one has come up with an alternative. If anyone can help out there that would be great."
As we can see from just these two people, RLS is not a joke and it can have serious consequences for many. In particular the loss of sleep that leads to depression, stress, the inability to do everyday things and so on.
There are plenty of websites out there that give excellent support and advice for anyone who is suffering from RLS. Having said that, because as yet doctors don't know what causes the condition, the information given on one site might only help a few people. Others would have to try another site for something else that may help. However, because I've also had to put up with RLS - and still do on occasion - I thought a hub showing some of the things I've done to combat RLS might be helpful to others as well as showing the main changes that helped me. I'm not suggesting that everything I've done will give you the same results, but at least it will give you ideas to think about.
Restless leg syndrome poll
Have you ever experienced restless leg syndrome?
Factors relating to restless leg syndrome
The following is a list of some of the common factors of RLS:
- Although it does affect mainly adults, children are known to suffer from it.
- The condition can be temporary - for example brought on by certain medication - when the medication is stopped then RLS symptoms disappear. Some anti-depressants such as prozac (fluoxetine), are particularly bad for causing RLS. In addition some medicines used for heartburn, such as Zantac, have also been known to trigger RLS.
- The severity of the symptoms varies between each person as well as the actual sensations and levels of pain. In addition people can have RLS continually without any remission.
- People who have a job where they are sitting for long periods of time have a higher rate of RLS. This is thought to be in part due to the circulation of blood being reduced for long periods of time.
- There are numerous triggers for RLS - and we'll look at these a little later.
- People have various methods and techniques that they use to combat the effects of RLS.
- Pregnancy has been known to cause RLS but usually disappear after the baby is born.
- Smoking, caffeine and alcohol are known to cause RLS symptoms in many sufferers, but not all.
- Some medical conditions seem to show a higher rate of RLS among patients - such as anaemia, kidney disease, diabetes, obesity and thyroid problems.
- RLS increases with age.
- Some women experiencing the menopause feel that their RLS symptoms are worse.
- People with circulatory problems of the lower legs, for example varicose veins, can develop RLS.
- Exercises that help to increase circulation to the bottom half of the body have been known to have a good effect in decreasing or stopping RLS symptoms, whether the person has circulatory problems or not.
- People who are involved with some level of frequent exercise - even just walking - have a lower incident level of RLS.
So managing RLS is frequently a case of looking at your lifestyle and making changes in the areas that you feel are triggering RLS. To help with this a bit, I'll go onto to tell you how I've managed to reduce significantly the symptoms of RLS and this should give you some ideas about your own lifestyle.
Simple Exercise For Restless Leg Syndrome
Diet and restless leg syndrome
Coping with restless leg syndrome
There are a number of strategies that can be used to combat the symptoms of RLS. For most people it's a matter of reviewing your entire lifestyle and making adjustments until you find the combination that works best for you. It's important to realise that some people who have the severest form of RLS often end up depending on medications such as those used for Parkinson's Disease to control the symptoms. Therefore, it might be the case that due to various factors, lifestyle changes may not be enough for those who are badly affected. In addition, it's always best to consult your doctor before making any changes, especially if you are on any kind of medication or have an existing medical condition.
The main areas you need to look at for triggers to RLS are:
- Diet and fluids taken
- Activity levels
- Medication
- Type of job you do
- Herbal or other supplements used
- Type of chairs and mattress used
- Current medical conditions such as - fibromyalgia, anaemia, arthritis (especially rheumatoid), thyroid problems, diabetes, kidney problems, peripheral neuropathy.
I occasionally still get restless leg syndrome, but attacks are now far and few between. If it does come on it's usually because of something I have done or something I've neglected to do. The main areas I realised I had to focus on were - my diet, the type of seating I used, sitting too long and medications.
As you can see, there is not usually one trigger for RLS, there can be a few. Although it can take time to eliminate the triggers it's well worth doing this. Find out what starts an attack, what doesn't and if there are things that help.
Lifestyle changes that helped me:
- Diet - I'm mainly vegetarian so I need to watch my vitamin and mineral levels. This also means I can be prone to anaemia and this actually runs in my family. So iron supplements are a must, but I'll mention this later on. What I also have to watch for are meals that are high in salt - such as macaroni cheese. I now tend make meals with lower fat cheeses and very little salt. Another food that causes me major problems is savoury rice - the kind you buy in a pack and boil up. I'm sure this is also because of the salt content. I also avoid salted peanuts like the plaque as they bring on very bad bouts of RLS with me. So have a look at what you enjoy eating and see if RLS symptoms start because of some items of food that you eat. A general rule seems to be that the healthier your diet, the less likely RLS will be a problem.
- I know that on most sites/forums for RLS its stated to avoid caffeine. To be honest I've never had a problem with caffeine, but I can say that de-caffinated coffee can cause me all sorts of problems with RLS, especially if I drink it at night. Whether this is due to the chemicals used in the de-caffinated coffee, I don't know. All I know is that it causes me problems.
- Alcohol can cause bad RLS symptoms if I'm not careful. One or two glasses of good wine are fine and I also like to drink Bailey's Irish Cream - so far I haven't had any problems. However, when I was younger I did drink more spirits and lager, then RLS did affect me badly.
- Anaemia - as I've already mentioned - is a problem for me. I am prone to low iron levels and I also have to watch my vitamin B levels as I don't absorb this too well, meaning that I have to ensure that I take extra vitamin B supplements, especially B12. Now iron and vitamin B supplements are very easy to come by. However, what I've discovered is that the tablet forms of iron and vitamin B just don't work for me at all. They certainly didn't reduce my RLS symptoms. What I take now is a good quality iron supplement in liquid form and they also have vitamin B12 as well as folic acid (B9) and the rest of the 'B' group added. I know they are much more expensive but the plus side has been drastic reduction in RLS and no iron side effects such as gastric problems.
- People have also found that other supplements such as potassium and magnesium seem to help the symptoms of RLS. However always consult your doctor before taking these supplements as they can be toxic if taken in too large a quantity.
- Type of seating. The type of seating and for how long people sit down can cause enormous problems with RLS. I tend to find the worse kind of seating for me is the common office type chairs - especially if you have to sit down for long periods. I used to end up standing for most of the time at work. However, I have found that RLS is improved by firstly taking short walking breaks after sitting. I would get up at least every 15 minutes and keep standing or have a walk for at least 5 minutes, longer if possible.I know that many people with RLS find that sitting in a cinema, going for a meal, sitting on a train/bus/plane will also trigger off symptoms. However, some exercises that you can try, have helped many people with this issue.
- I've being doing RLS exercises for a while now - especially the ones that help with circulation. I have to say, that they have been a huge benefit to me. Other sufferers also state that they have found walking and/or running on the spot alleviates RLS symptoms.
- If your legs, feet and buttocks get too hot after you've been sitting or walking, then find a way to cool them down. For example, a cold compress or cold water splashed or dabbed onto the feet and lower legs in particular. I've found that when my legs and feet get over heated this can trigger off an RLS episode. In addition to cooling your legs down, also do some of the exercises from the video that are for RLS. I have to say that I haven't had the problem of hot feet/legs for a long time. Since using a quality iron/vitamin B supplement, changing my diet and doing the exercises this problem seems to have gone.
I hope this article will be of some benefit to those of you who suffer from this distressing condition. However, a word of warning - there are many websites out there that claim to have a cure for RLS - this is false. To date, there is no cure. There are, as we have seen, lifestyle changes that can help to prevent or dampen down the symptoms of RLS, but there is no cure.
Lastly and as always, this article is for information only and is not a substitute for seeking proper medical advice from a doctor. Good luck!
Thanks for the suggestion of sodium and potassium supplements, I'll try that. Thank you
This is an awesome hub Helen. Reading through the comments it must be very satifying to be able to help someone else solve their problems or recognise their symptoms. You are doing such a great job... our own personal clinic :))
I have never suffered with this but I imagine it is very uncomfortable and I can see how it would affect daily life too. My legs on the very odd occasion will jump as I am falling asleep I just put it down to the nervous sysytem settling. What I do suffer with is bad cramp in my feet either in bed or on long car journeys and this is probably due to not enough exercise.
You are doing an awesome job my friend.
Voting UP and hitting most buttons.
I did more research on all my meds. I think what I am experiencing is more 'Myopathy' from a statin drug that I take for high cholesterol. I think I may have to get off it and take a different approach, like supplements. Your article really helped me look into this. I do know I have RLS too but I also have pain and aches in my legs after sleeping at night.
Seeker-I think you just solved a huge part of why I have RLS-You mentioned prozac was one of the causes of your RLS. I am on an anti-depressant called zoloft and wonder if this is a side effect. I'm off to google it. Thanks for the great suggestion on your meds.
This must be a very uncomfortable condition to have. Fortunately, I have never experienced this. I used to have leg cramps during the night that were terrible. I read about putting a bar of soap under the sheets. I first laughed at that, but I swear it works!!! I wonder if a bar of soap would help with restless leg syndrome? Doesn't matter what brand of soap. It would be worth a try.
Voted this UP, etc.
Thanks for this interesting and useful hub Seeker.
I suffer from this only every now and then thank goodness.
I know this will benefit many readers .
Thanks for sharing and I vote up,across and share.
Thank you for sharing this informative and interesting hub. Sounds like an awful syndrome. Passing this on for those who can benefit from the information. I've never heard of this nor had it but I have has at one time or another strange things occur to my legs and feet. Once for several month my right heel hurt so bad I couldn't stand on it so I hobbled until it went away. Couldn't figure out what it was. Then there have been times I'll lay down and my legs won't want to calm down. They feel restless and strange and I can't rest until it goes away. Go figure. At least these are symptoms that pass and haven't shown up again.
Seeker, you have done an awesome job on this article. I have RLS myself. It first showed when I was just about 20. At times can be very bad. I noticed that lots of time the trigger is the weather.
One odd thing was that after I gave birth my RLS disappeared for almost 3 years. I stand a lot and walk a lot and this maybe helps.
This is really interesting. I have been wondering lately if I am starting to develop Restless Legs Syndrome. I can't seem to keep my legs still at night anymore. I toss and turn the whole night. My legs don't quite feel right... I keep them moving a lot. After reading this, I suspect part of the issue is my job and sitting for a long period of time. Thanks for the information!
This is an exceptionally skillfully and expertly written article. (Voted up and shared.) Thank you for the abundance of valuable information. I have enjoyed learning a good deal about the RLS. I think that I had sometimes slight problems with RLS and magnesium helped me well with it.
I hate the RLS that I get. And it has gotten worse as I age--sharing this great article!
Hi my friend, very interesting and informative hub. Will be very useful to all those who have this of may think they may have it . Well done !
Vote up and more !!!
Thanks so much Seeker for a very comprehensive and informative hub on RLS. I am really struggling with it in the last few months, more than in the past. I am looking at all the categories you wrote about and will work on what I can do to lessen it. I do find that when I sleep in too late, the RLS in worse. I was interested to hear about salt being bad for RLS-this is something I need to work on. Thanks again for a really helpful hub. It's very timely for me as I've been having trouble sleeping in my bed. I flop like a crappy all night and it's really affecting my quality of sleep. I'm sharing and tweeting this useful hub.
This is another great article, Seeker7. I love all the details that you put into your health hubs. Sharing your personal experience with restless legs syndrome and its treatment adds even more value to the hub! Thanks for sharing the very useful information.
Very useful information (voted up!). I have suffered from this occasionally, and never thought about the connection there might be to working while sitting for long hours. Thanks for posting.

Kei runga noa atu koutou!
Kia ora whānau!
Can you believe it's been a week already since St Clair! What an outstanding effort by everyone!
Last weekend was amazing! We are so thankful to be a part of this amazing tribe and were blown away to see everyone cross the finish line! Four months ago most of us didn't know each other and seeing the tribe come together, being active and having fun was a highlight for us all. Another awesome aspect was having three generations together at this event, we had three one year olds in the support crew and decked out in their tribe shirts made for some super cute pics!
The vibe at the event and after at our whānau hākari will be a lifetime memory for many of us!
Here are a couple of our fav pics with more to come!

Brisbane's favourite local fast food
Move over McDonald's and KFC – this is fast food 2.0
Lucky Egg at Good Time Bar
Brisbane just got twice as lucky with the opening of the second Lucky Egg outlet, coddled safely inside West End's Good Time Bar. The Lucky Egg crew help slay your hunger with more than just wings and burgers: these staples are a given, but the menu is fleshed out with all kinds of chickeny goodness. Don't miss snack-sized karaage cups, shatteringly crisp Dorito popcorn chicken, and the Birdhaus Bowl filled with grilled chicken, rice and wok-flashed greens scattered with roasted peanuts, nutty sesame seeds, Thai basil, sambal and warming red chilli. Grab the flock and head on down for lunch or dinner any day but Sunday – you'll be clucking glad you did.
New York Slice
Ain't nothing sweeter than stumbling out of a Valley nightclub in the wee small hours and into the warm embrace of Brunswick Street's New York Slice for a hefty triangle of NY-style pizza. The classic menu is exactly that, a clipped list of only three thin-based beauties – Margherita, pepperoni and Hawaiian. We're kinda partial to the pepperoni after a big night out. The signature list boasts many, and customers with a particular penchant can build their own. Whatever you choose, make sure you fold the slice in half (Ryan Gosling in Crazy Stupid Love-style) and smash it like you mean it.
Betty's Burgers
Betty is quickly claiming her territory along the east coast with new stores opening as fast as lightning. One of the freshest in the bunch is at the head of Westfield Chermside's eat street on the extremity of the shopping centre proper. Don't dismiss this chain as just another burger bar: Betty's burgers are good. They're made with Angus beef or pork belly, fried chicken or 'shrooms', and you can fling on McClures American pickles or bacon for a few bucks extra. Finish on a sweet note with Betty's concretes – custard ice creams enriched even further with sauces, crumbles and toppings.
Greens and Grains
What a find! It's takeaway only at this Western Suburbs venue and there's not a burger or deep-fried nugget in sight. Instead, the gleaming glass cabinet is filled with salads of the non-mundane kind, and topped with buttery, flaky viennoiserie. The salad menu is as scrumptious as kale is good for you: say a Brussels sprout and kale Caesar with brioche crumb, or eggplant, zucchini and red pepper salad with pearls of cous cous, crunchy almonds and a creamy crumble of feta. There's a plethora of pulled meats to accompany, making Greens and Grains a saviour of meal-time sanity.
Winner Winner
Paddington's Winner Winner, housed in the old Ruby Café coop on busy Given Terrace, is giving the chicken-loving people of Brisbane the bird in a big way, and they're loving it. Winner Winner burgers come stuffed with bird and all the trimmings, then there's Winner's chicken tenders, wings, drumsticks and thighs licked with diner's choice of heat ranging from a mild, radiating warmth to damn hot. It's available dine in, take away or home delivered seven days a week, so there's nothing stopping that chook satiating your hunger – especially not card minimums. It's Winner Winner chicken lunch and dinner.

Teijin to Set Up Subsidiary to Produce Film for MLCCs
December 11, 2001
Teijin Ltd. recently announced plans to set up a subsidiary company handling the production, sales and marketing of Solufill(R), an ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene film used to manufacture advanced multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs). Teijin will invest 6.5 billion yen to construct a production facility at its former fiber plant in Matsuyama, Ehime Prefecture, on the island of Shikoku. The plant will start production of Solufill in October 2003 and will have annual capacity of about 15 million square meters. The subsidiary, Teijin Solufill Co., Ltd., will set up following Teijin's decision to buy DSM Solutech Co., Ltd.'s 50% stake in DSM Teijin Solutech Co., Ltd., a joint venture the two companies established in 1997. Teijin Solufill will be made a wholly owned subsidiary and begin operations in January 2002.

Not that I feel like I owe anyone an explanation for why I chose to deactivate my Instagram for 2 months BUT I want to share the reason why I did so that people feeling similar know that it is totally okay and it is normal to have mixed emotions about social media.
So I am just going to cut to the chase. I took an Instagram Hiatus because my mental health was declining. Yup. You read that correctly. Happy, excited, loving, fun, adventurous Brittney deleted Instagram because going on Instagram was causing the complete opposite feelings. Going on Instagram started to trigger sadness, feelings of being left out, lack of motivation, carelessness, and isolation. Sure I also did have a major life altering, traumatic event occur in my life, BUT either way never in a million years did I think a social media platform in which I share my feelings, my life, my motivations, my inspirations, my content, my aspirations, my everything, would make me feel so down in the dumps.
The majority of the people I follow are friends, acquaintances, family, and individuals who inspire and motivate me on a daily basis because of their health and fitness journeys and lifestyles. Suddenly, when I was unable to participate in physical activity all the health and fitness posts that normally motivate me unfortunately started to lose meaning. These posts did nothing but make me sad and totally had the opposite effect on me! I would see friends at a fitness event that I would normally not miss for the world and I would be filled with sadness and turn to Postmates and let's be real here… I would totally order and eat my feelings. And ummm… I did this for a solid month. Sure I had this "I am living my best second life" mentality but the root of my problem was nothing other than social media. It was the last thing on Earth I needed during the most difficult time of my life, my recovery. My mental, emotional, physical recovery.
You would think that social media would be great with all the outpouring love, concern, direct messages, and comments. But it just wasn't. Of course I appreciated all the support I was receiving but deep down I felt like intimate connections, phone calls, face-to-face interactions and conversations were what I really needed in order to recover mentally and bounce back from what happened to me. I needed the humans around me to see and feel my emotion to completely understand and unfortunately in this day and age that isn't always possible through social media platforms. I will even admit to posting old photos with encouraging captions to sort of manipulate that I was really okay. But I really wasn't. And I finally just put a stop to it. I figured if I can't be on my social media platform and be myself and express my true feelings and emotions, then I don't want to be on here at all. I just want to be myself. And during that time I simply couldn't.
So here is what I did during my hiatus… I racked my brain about how to get my old, bubbly, fun self back. One word that kept creeping up on me from family and friends was THERAPIST. Let's be realistic. A therapist IS NOT CHEAP. A therapist requires an appointment that you have to be 100% committed too otherwise you get a cancellation fee and I had just started a production job in which I agreed to be readily available throughout the entire run of the show. Committing to an appointment that cannot change and having enough time to go to it in traffic and get back to work if needed did not seem doable. And let me tell you, I HATE THAT I AM SHARING ALL THE EXCUSES I HAD COME UP WITH. But they were all very valid. But this is my HEALTH!!! My MENTAL HEALTH! MY SANITY! BRITTNEY THIS IS SOOOO IMPORTANT! Find a way to fix this!
One day I was clicking around and came across a platform called Talkspace… an online therapy platform… WAIT WHAT?!?! HOLD UP! You are telling me that I can have a therapist readily available via my cell phone and laptop? The answer is YES! Talkspace provided me with a questionnaire to fill out online and from there gave me a list of licensed therapists that best matched my needs. From there I chose my therapist and we set up a 15 minute FaceTime-like chat so that I could meet my therapist. Talkspace had different packages to choose from in terms of your needs. I chose the unlimited messaging option in which my therapist is available Friday to Tuesday. My specific therapist had off Wednesdays and Thursdays which I really loved because many times I needed someone to talk to mostly on the weekends, when I had alone time and my thoughts were running wild! Options such as Live Talk Therapy and Couple's Therapy are available as well. For my package I pay $49 a week and I can talk to my therapist remotely and from anywhere without the stresses of having to be in person at a specific time. I am telling you this was a total game changer. And I am giving you $50 OFF your first month to give it a try!
The truth is I traded my Instagram for Talkspace. And I am very happy I did. After 6 weeks of online therapy I was able to talk to a professional who helped me eliminate negative feelings and thoughts. And I didn't feel guilty about the topics I discussed… you know how sometimes you meet with friends and you feel like you have completely bogged them down and exhausted them over the guy you keep talking about or about your job or whatever it may be. I felt like my therapist was the one person I could put everything out there with and on a completely fresh slate. I even found my conversations with family and friends to improve because I didn't need the "vent sash" of negative feelings with them anymore, I had someone to talk to specifically for that.
At the end of the day only YOU know what is best for YOU and only YOU can take the steps to make any positive CHANGES in your life. I am happily reactivated on Instagram and for all the right reasons. Sure I spend WAY LESS time on there now so please don't take it personally if I miss an event invite or don't like all your lovely motivational posts. When I took the hiatus I truthfully didn't miss Instagram as much as I thought I would and in turn I don't go on there as extensively anymore. I am doing me and living life and I don't need any pictures to prove that!
Be the best version of you,
Mentally, Physically, and Emotionally Fit Friends,

Sharon Preen
Plein air artist
Her journey as a plein air artist began as an extension of journaling outdoor adventures. Over time, as she moved from paper to canvas and boards, the images became the journal. Each painting becomes an invaluable source of learning, inspiration and release.
This is a landscape that she knows intimately and feels a need to share.
Perhaps it is her Voyageur ancestors affecting her passion, giving her a haunting sense of the spirits of the land, or maybe it is that these places speak a language that whispers to any who take a moment to notice deeply.
Chantal Abdel-Nour
Graphic designer, illustrator, aspiring printmaker

Beth Lindner
The place where she calls home, where she spent her summers growing up has become an intimate part of who she is; an artist, mother, wife and adventurer. Living in McGregor Bay has greatly shaped her work as an artist learning how to share herself, her interpretations of where she fits into this intoxicating world, to discover and be inspired by it.
Her work is filled with passion and love, depicted in the deep colours and bold brush strokes. Painting brings such joy and satisfaction in her life, while continually searching in new directions for techniques and subject matter, floating back and forth between representation and abstraction. This "little piece of heaven", where her studio is nestled, is on a 108 acre island where she lives with her adventuresome husband and courageous sons.
She has a B.Sc. in Education which means when she's not on her island, you can find her teaching or volunteering with fabulous young children from Manitoulin Island to Massey; fostering young minds and hearts to grow into happy well-rounded individuals. Her wish is for you to sense the joy in the creation of her paintings in hopes that it could deliver a little happiness into your day!

Wow, Cheryl. I envy you, being able to plant things at this time of year. The gardening season is shutting down here. It'll get down to about 26 degrees tonight. Time to start hunkering down. Enjoy!

5 long weekend activities you can do from San Jose
Long weekends give me life, they are a breathing space from working during the year. More so for someone who doesn't usually take my vacations.
I personally like to stay in San José to decompress from day to day life and take one of the days for a short trip, instead of traveling far. And since during this year there will be a couple of 4 day weekends (at least for me) I give you five ideas of activities I have enjoyed doing to clear my mind on long weekends:
Fossil Land
A place for groups of adventurers, this exciting place involves lots of climbing, hiking, and physical activities. It is located in Patarrá (about 35 minutes from San Jose)
This is a park designed to go in a group, so make sure to gather your family and friends.
Brunch at Madame Cheese
Foodies will find themselves comfortable in this restaurant, with lovely decoration (Instagram background hint ;)) and a warm terrace to indulge in the pleasures of cheese, brunch and French pastries.
Teleférico at the Braulio Carrillo
The perfect plan to be delighted by nature and the rainforest in its greatest splendor. I've gone there a few times and it never stops to amuse me the peace you can feel when riding on top of the trees. It is very close to San Jose so you can go and come back the same day, without preoccupations.
Feria del Agricultor- Farmers market
What better way to have a good time off during a long weekend than getting fresh produce and eating delicious food with the farmers themselves?
For me it's a refreshing time, and a joy to get the best fruits and veggies for my meals, at a very reasonable price. Find the closest to your home and treat yourself!
The BEACH!
In a beautiful country like ours we are at just minutes away from the beach, Do you like the Atlantic or the Pacific best?
From San Jose you can keep your tan steady all year round by visiting the beach regularly, and perhaps surfing the waves of our tropical sea

Hey! I'm looking for some new friends and hope that I will meet someone eventually to have a long term relationship with. I'm 5'8, brown hair, hazel eyes and average build. I've included some pictures so take a look. I love animals, outdoors activities, baking, cooking, reading, watching movies and trying new activities. I take my dog to the park for exercise. I work long work hours at weird times so it makes it difficult to meet people. I want to get out and have some fun exploring Houston. I haven't had to much experience with night life and want to get out more. I'm very honest and upfront. I can be shy at times but open up once I get to know someone. I'm looking for people who have similar interests to my own. ie camping, hiking, reading, cooking, etc. Honesty is the most important quality as well as a sense of humor. I went to college have a steady job and a car. I expect the same from you in return. I don't do one night stands, nsa or anything along those lines so keep looking if that is what you want. Please include a picture and some information about you and what you are looking for. Thanks.

These home loans are designed to cushion the upfront costs for home buyers that may not be able to afford them. This is especially well-suited for first-time home buyers.Read More

First time buyer difficulties are casting a cloud over much of the homes market, but with town houses available at £20,000-plus, Teesside still has bright horizons.
Major lender, the Nationwide Building Society, said that during June there were 31pc fewer first-time buyers getting on to the property ladder.
Its report followed indications that in parts of the country thousands of families who want to move house are struggling to tempt buyers because of the sharp fall in first-time buyers.
Some 17 counties or city suburbs reported a drop in home values last month, according to property website Hometrack.
But in the Tees Valley most sectors of the market are still buoyant.
Giving a national view, the Nationwide said the labour market was modestly deteriorating, which, combined with lower earnings growth, had hit house buyers' confidence and contributed to the current slowdown.
The society added that the high level of deposits now needed by first-time buyers in southern regions of England reduced activity among people taking their step on to the property ladder.
It said the typical first-time buyer now put down a 12pc deposit, compared with 5pc in the late-80s. But deposits vary from 11pc or £7,363 in the North to 17pc or £29,835 in London.
The society reported house prices continued to increase at a steady pace during July, with the cost of property rising by 1pc.
But at the same time annual house price inflation, which measures price increases year-on-year, fell for the fourth month in a row, dropping to 17.9pc from 19.2pc in May.
The cost of property has now risen by 7.7pc during 2003, raising the national average price of a home by around £11,000 to £128,251.
Nationwide group economist Alex Bannister said: "As has been the case for the last six to 12 months, prices are rising fastest in the regions where affordability is less stretched, such as the North and Yorkshire and Humberside.
"House inflation remains lower in more expensive regions such as London and its commuter belt."
Nationwide said it expected price growth to continue to slow down as a result of weaker pay and job prospects.

How to Start an Astrology Business
Our guide on starting an astrology business covers all the essential information to help you decide if this business is a good match for you. Learn about the day-to-day activities of an astrology business owner, the typical target market, growth potential, startup costs, legal considerations, and more!

Find the perfect business for you with our
Start an astrology business by following these 9 steps:
You have found the perfect business idea, and now you are ready to take the next step. There is more to starting a business than just registering it with the state. We have put together this simple step guide to starting your astrology business. These steps will ensure that your new business is well planned out, registered properly and legally compliant.
STEP 1: Plan your Business
A clear plan is essential for success as an entrepreneur. It will help you map out the specifics of your business and discover some unknowns. A few important topics to consider are:
- What are the initial costs?
- Who is your target market?
- How long it will take you to break even?
- What will you name your business?
Luckily we have done a lot of this research for you. Skip on ahead to the Business Overview for more detailed answers to all your questions.
Choosing the right name is very important. We recommend checking if the business name you choose is available as a web domain and securing it early so no one else can take it.
After registering a domain name, consider setting up a professional email account (@yourcompany.com). Google's G Suite offers a business email service that comes with other useful tools, including word processing, spreadsheets, and more. Try it for free
STEP 2: Form a legal entity
Establishing a legal business entity such as an LLC prevents you from being personally liable if your astrology business is sued. Consider using a registered agent service to help protect your privacy and stay compliant.
STEP 3: Register for taxes
You will need to register for a variety of state and federal taxes before you can open for business.
STEP 4: Open a business bank account
Using dedicated business banking and credit accounts is essential for personal asset protection.
When your personal and business accounts are mixed, your personal assets (your home, car, and other valuables) are at risk in the event your business is sued. In business law, this is referred to as piercing your corporate veil.
STEP 5: Set up business accounting
Recording your various expenses and sources of income is critical to understanding the financial performance of your business. Keeping accurate and detailed accounts also greatly simplifies your annual tax filing.
STEP 6: Obtain necessary permits and licenses
Failure to acquire necessary permits and licenses can result in hefty fines, or even cause your business to be shut down.
STEP 7: Get Business Insurance
Insurance is highly recommended for all business owners. If you hire employees, workers compensation insurance may be a legal requirement in your state.
STEP 8: Define your brand.
Your brand is what your company stands for, as well as how your business is perceived by the public. A strong brand will help your business stand out from competitors.
STEP 9: Establish your Web Presence
A business website allows customers to learn more about your company and the products or services you offer. You can also use social media to attract new clients or customers.
Select your state below for an in-depth guide on completing each of these steps in your home state.
Business Overview
In many ways, this business is part educational and part retail. You are helping to sell the mystique of astrology to customers and also selling them products related to their love of astrology. Many such businesses also provide psychic readings or tarot readings on the side.
Who is this business right for?
Obviously, this business is great for those who have a deep love and passion for astrology. It is also good for a "people person," as this job involves more personal interactions with customers than a typical retail job.
What happens during a typical day at an astrology business?
If you start an astrology business as a sideline business, some of your daily activities will include scheduling tarot and/or psychic readings and following up with these appointments via phone or email. Other than that, the business is like any other retail business, and activities include receiving shipments of supplies, stocking shelves, helping customers, and advertising your business.
What is the target market?
Obviously, your best clients are ones who already believe in the mystic potential of astrology. As far as demographics, college-aged students who are exploring changes to their view of the world typically make for good customers.
How does an astrology business make money?
Your business makes money by selling a variety of astrology-related products and charging money for psychic readings and tarot readings.
What is the growth potential for an astrology business?
The growth potential of this business is modest. The Bureau of Labor Statistics predicts retail as an industry to grow seven percent between 2014 and 2024. With your business holding a special niche and also offering things like psychic consulting, it may grow even more.
What are some skills and experiences that will help you build a successful astrology business?
Existing knowledge of astrology is critical to build this business. Awareness of astrology software can also help make it easier to consult with customers. Finally, lots of personal experience in shops that sell similar merchandise will let you hit the ground running with products that are proven hits.
What are the costs involved in opening an astrology business?
To open a small retail shop, it costs approximately $65,834. This includes a the deposits (security, first month, and triple net) to rent a business lease ($4,589), construction and furniture costs ($7,500), and utility deposits and handyman costs ($450). Various IT expenses, including a custom website, relevant consulting, computer and phone equipment, and a retail point of sale system will come to about $6165. Marketing costs, including exterior and interior signs, legal services, logo design, business cards, and flyers and coupons comes to about $8900. A big public relations push for your grand opening (including catering and media) is about $1670. This brings the cost to $30,834. The exact cost of your retail stock will vary, but if you spend $35,000 to set up your initial inventory, it brings your costs to $65,834.
Where can I find a business mentor?
One of the greatest resources an entrepreneur can have is quality mentorship. As you start planning your business, connect with a free business resource near you to get the help you need.
Having a support network in place to turn to during tough times is a major factor of success for new business owners.
What are some insider tips for jump starting an astrology business?
Consider the sideline opportunities mentioned above (such as psychic readings) as a way of building interest and buzz around your business. Be sure your store features some more eye-catching merchandise as a way of making astrology seem mysterious and intriguing. Also, try to network right away with local businesses: offering services such as astrological readings for business executives can be a big hit in the right area.

Growing Your Business
How to promote & market an astrology business
It is worth investing in the "traditional" advertising mentioned above, including flyers and business cards. Within your budget, it is also worth it to offer some radio advertising, especially around your grand opening. However, don't neglect the online aspect of advertising: in addition to your professionally-designed website, you should maintain social media accounts that allow you to share astrology facts and merchandise deals with interested customers. Many of your best customers will be Millennials who prefer online interaction to talking over the phone, so this is a great way to build relationships with customers.
Recommended: Get started with local advertising for your business with a $300 credit from Yelp.
How to keep customers coming back
In addition to the advertising methods mentioned above, consider the free publicity of offering psychic readings in public parks and college campuses. You may also print out daily horoscopes and deliver them to local businesses, along with information about your store and your latest deals. Finally, make sure you embrace seasonal opportunities, such as selling accessories for Halloween costumes in October. While it may not seem astrology-related, it helps to promote solid word of mouth for your business.
How and when to build a team
Unless you forsake sleep, you will likely need a small team right away to help work different shifts and to stay open as many days as possible.
Legal Considerations
State & Local Business Licensing Requirements
Certain state permits and licenses may be needed to operate an astrology business. Learn more about licensing requirements in your state by visiting SBA's reference to state licenses and permits.
Most businesses are required to collect sales tax on the goods or services they provide. To learn more about how sales tax will affect your business, read our article, Sales Tax for Small Businesses.
For information about local licenses and permits:
- Check with your town, city or county clerk's office
- Get assistance from one of the local associations listed in US Small Business Associations directory of local business resources.
Maintain Personal Asset Protection
Don't think that just forming an LLC, or any other type of business, will save your personal assets in case of a lawsuit or other matter by itself.
When your personal and business accounts are mixed, your personal assets (your home, car, and other valuables) are at risk in the event your LLC is sued. In business law, this is referred to as piercing your corporate veil.
Two of the simplest steps that will protect your business, and yourself, are to:
Open a business bank account
- This separates your personal assets from your company's assets, which is necessary for personal asset protection.
- It also makes accounting and tax filing easier.
Get a business credit card
- This helps you separate personal and business expenses by putting your business' expenses all in one place.
- It also builds your company's credit history, which can be useful to raise money and investment later on.
To learn more about maintaining your LLC's corporate veil, read our guide and protect your personal assets.
Certificate of Occupancy
An astrology business is generally run out of a storefront. Businesses operating out of a physical location typically require a Certificate of Occupancy (CO). A CO confirms that all building codes, zoning laws and government regulations have been met.
- If you plan to lease a location:
- It is generally the landlord's responsibility to obtain a CO.
- Before leasing, confirm that your landlord has or can obtain a valid CO that is applicable to an astrology business.
- After a major renovation, a new CO often needs to be issued. If your place of business will be renovated before opening, it is recommended to include language in your lease agreement stating that lease payments will not commence until a valid CO is issued.
- If you plan to purchase or build a location:
- You will be responsible for obtaining a valid CO from a local government authority.
- Review all building codes and zoning requirements for your business' location to ensure your astrology business will be in compliance and able to obtain a CO.
Earning Potential
How much can you charge customers?
With this kind of retail business, there is no true average price for items. You may sell small items for under five dollars and sell more rare and exotic items for over $100. For things like astrological or tarot readings, your hourly cost may range anywhere from $25 to over $125.
What are the ongoing expenses for an astrology business?
Your ongoing expenses will include your monthly rent (this will vary, but was $1,877 in our projections above), cost of utilities (varies by region, but should be less than $1000 a month), and salary of your employees (which will vary based on the amount of employees and their pay, but $5,000 is a good projection for a small team).
How much profit can an astrology business make?
The exact profit you will make can vary greatly. Many retail businesses end up with a net profit margin between two percent and three percent. However, by having a niche product and a relatively small team, it is possible for you to increase your margins and make a large splash in your community.
How can you make your business more profitable?
Consider variations of your sideline opportunities, such as offering online psychic consulting through mediums such as Skype. Consider hosting community events such as informal seminars where you discuss astrology and its significance throughout history, or its relevance to current events. Finally, don't be afraid to ask customers if they want to be on a mailing list—you can establish a newsletter that is combined with astrological facts and promotional information about your business. If done well, this can keep satisfied customers coming back and also bringing friends and family.
