"I started the #noexcuses programme last July after we booked a holiday for my upcoming 40th birthday in September. At the time I was really struggling to accept this milestone birthday and the chronic back pain, food intolerances and reliance on a sugar fix after lunch and dinner was weighing heavily on my mind. Deep down I really didn't want to spend my 40's the way I'd spent my 30's but the reality was that I wasn't in the right headspace to plan meals, calorie count or weigh absolutely everything, I just needed someone to tell me what to eat, and when to eat it.
I'd heard about Kim Beach's programme from someone who had successfully lost 10kg's earlier in the year. I thought that was pretty impressive so I looked it up. It was just what I needed! It's all laid out for you – the right foods, in the right combinations and at the right time of day. Loads of flexibility to work around my food intolerances and work schedule, simple principles to follow and an exercise plan that provide a really good variation to keep you interested. The #noexcuses programme really appealed to me because it was real food, unprocessed, wholesome, clean.
I committed 100% to the programme, and the BeachFit team helped me adapt some of the exercises to manage back pain. I surpassed my goal with an 11.6kg loss and I had never felt more motivated and determined to get fitter and lose weight, so I jumped straight back into the programme the day we got home from holiday!
Overall I've lost over 33 kg's!
While it's a weight loss programme, I've gained more than I've lost. After 4 rounds of #noexcuses I don't recognise myself. Who is this person? It's totally mind boggling to think the person in the mirror is healthy, energetic, confident and positive about life. I am proud to have taken responsibility and returned my body to the condition it was designed to be in, and it's rewarding me every day with energy, clarity and significantly less inflammation and pain. What goes in my mouth is no longer driver by anxiety, emotions or laziness. I'm fitting so much more into my day and love that I am energized by exercise, not fatigued by it.
The private Facebook group is the real gem of this programme. It provided a distraction from sugar cravings and allowed me to connect with other women travelling on similar journeys. Their continued positive encouragement and support was a major contribution in my ability to keep motivated and stay on track. I have made some amazing friends, been able to celebrate other women's successes like they meant as much to me as they did to them, and I hope I've been able to inspire other women to make their health and fitness a priority and realise they are all worthy of feeling amazing, confident and beautiful.
I can't speak highly enough of the programme Kim has designed – it works no matter your circumstances and no matter your excuses!
Your story is truly incredible Paula!! It was fantastic to meet you in Sydney and I just know your story will inspire so many ladies to take the leap and create their own health & fitness journey!
If you are ready to start your own weight loss or health & fitness journey, please take a look at my programs (including my new app program!!) and choose the one that is right for you Click here to read all about them – if you have any questions or are not sure which program will work for you please email my team and I anytime on email@example.com x

This summer Giant Bicycles lifted the lid of their brand new Defy endurance/sportive bike. Completely redesigned with a new carbon frame incorporating disc brakes, the new bike signaled a bold new direction for the company. The disc range starts at £1,199 and tops out at £7,999, all featuring carbon frames. There will also be five aluminum non-disc models priced from £499 up to £999.
We got a first look at the new disc bike and even got to ride the top-end model and came away very impressed. The Defy is Giant's best-selling bike and the only aspect to carry over into the new model is the geometry, everything else has changed. The carbon model uses a new D-Fuse seatmast (or seatpost on lower models) designed to improve ride comfort, along with super skinny seatstays and a slender top tube.
The biggest news though is that the carbon Defy bikes are only being offered with disc brakes. Giant felt the time was right to make the switch, saying it suits the potential customers and the type of riding they're doing with the Defy. Making this commitment allowed Giant to shed quite a bit of weight from the frame in the process, with a claimed 890g weight for a medium.
Giant have taken a pragmatic view towards thru-axles, the oversize axles common on mountain bikes that some manufacturers are using on disc road bikes, and stuck with regular quick releases, as this offers greater wheel choice at this stage in the development of the disc road bike.
And if disc brakes aren't your cup of tea, there are a range of aluminium Defy bikes without disc brakes.
Giant have now revealed the full range of 2015 bikes and prices for each model. There will be eight Advanced models with a carbon fibre range priced from £1,199 to £7,999, each with disc brakes. The aluminium Defy without disc brakes will number six models costing £499 to £999. Let's take a closer look. While the specifications here are correct, there may be some changes to paint jobs and colour options when the bikes hit the showroom floor later this year.
Defy Advanced SL 0 £7,999
This is the range-topping model and the one road.cc rode at the worldwide launch in Scotland earlier this year. It has the same Zipp 202 wheels with Shimano Dura-Ace Di2 groupset with R785 hydro disc brakes and TRP 140mm rotors and Giant Contact SLR carbon handlebars and stem.
road.cc got the chance to ride this bike over two days in Scotland at the worldwide launch.
Defy Advanced SL 1 £3,499
This is the same frame as the top model but features a Shimano Ultegra mechanical groupset with Shimano RS685 hydraulic disc brakes. Giant P-SLR0 disc wheels with a 30mm deep carbon clincher rim and hubs with DT Swiss internals and Giant Contact SLR finishing kit
Defy Advanced Pro 0 £3,249
The Advanced Pro drops the integrated seatmast in favour or a regular seatpost, with the same d-shaped profiles as the seatmast on the top models. There are the same skinny seatstays too. Otherwise the main change is a switch to a lower grade of carbon fibre, T-700 instead of the more expensive T-800 used in the Advanced SL.
A Shimano Ultegra Di2 groupset with R785 hydro disc brakes and 140mm toros, 11-28 cassette and 50/34 compact chainset, and Giant P-SL0 disc wheels with a carbon fibre rim.
Defy Advanced Pro 1 £2,599
The Advanced Pro 1 also uses the same seatmast-less frame with a Shimano Ultegra mechanical groupset and RS685 hydraulic disc brakes. Wheels are the same Giant P-SL0 Disc with a 30mm carbon rim and 25mm Giant branded tyres.
Defy Advanced Pro 2 £1,899
Again, the same frame but a Shimano 105 groupset with TRP Spyre mechanical disc brakes and 160mm rotors.
Defy Advanced 1 £1,649
The entry-level Advanced range, extending to three bikes, use an 'Advanced-grade composite' frame sharing the same tube profiles as the op models, including the super skinny seatstays and d-shaped top tube, with a regular D-Fuse seatpost. EAch of these models uses a regular OverDrive steerer tube with a 1 1/8-inch to 1 1/4-inch taper.
This model is offered with a Shimano Ultegra 11-speed groupset with TRP Spyre mechanical disc brakes and Giant P-R2 Disc wheels with 25mm Giant P-R3 tyres.
Defy Advanced 2 £1,399
Step down the range and this model features a Shimano 105 11-speed groupset with the same TRP Spyre mechanical disc brakes. Wheels are Giant P-R2 Disc with front and rear specific 25mm Giant P-R3 tyres and Giant Contact finishing kit.
Defy Advanced 3 £1,199
The most affordable carbon disc-equipped model in the Defy range is this £1,199 model. It uses a fork with carbon blades and an OverDrive aluminium steerer tube. Groupset is Shimano Tiagra 10-speed with a 50/34 compact chainset and 11-28 cassette. Brakes are TRP Spyre discs with 160mm rotors.
Defy range - £499 to £999 aluminium road bikes
Those are all the disc brake models in Giant's 2015 Defy range. The entry-level Defy has also been updated offering aluminium frames that share some of the key features of the carbon frames, but using regular caliper rim brakes.
There will be six models priced from £499 to £999. This bike pictured here is that most affordable Defy 5, costing £499 and featuring a ALUXX-grade butted aluminum frame, aluminum fork with alloy OverDrive steerer, Shimano Claris 16-speed groupset and Tektro rim brakes.

As we near the end of the original 13 colonies, National North Carolina Day recognizes the 12th state to join the Union.
They were the first state to vote for independence from the British at the first Continental Congress. Before the Civil War, North Carolina resisted secession from the Union. As a whole, the state was vehemently against dividing the nation even after other states had signed agreements to secede. Eventually, public opinion changed and the state was swayed to join the Confederacy.
The state is filled with beauty from the Blue Ridge Mountains to Cape Fear and up to Kitty Hawk. Along with the beauty, you will find mystery buried in history and nature. Explore the sites of the first powered flight, the disappearance of the Roanoke colonists and with them the first English child born in the New World.
North Carolina is also home to the 82nd Airborne, blue fireflies, and the lavish Biltmore Estate. Studios find the state ideal for filming on location, so don't be surprised if you recognize places from TV shows or films you have seen. And don't forget, both the Carolinas are home to NASCAR.
Join National Day Calendar as we celebrate North Carolina's mysteries and history. Explore all the epic vistas and ocean views. There is an adventure in every corner! Use #NorthCarolinaDay to share on social media.
In 2017, National Day Calendar began celebrating each state in the order they entered the union starting the week of Independence Day and ending with Hawaii. We highlight a small part of each states' history, foods and the people who make up the state. There's so much more to explore!

Jeff Keane – artist, humorist and the "man attached to the hand" that draws The Family Circus cartoon, which is carried in over 1400 newspapers and is the most widely syndicated comic panel in America.
Jeff – or Jeffy, as you may know him in the comics – started as a contributor to the newspaper strip at the age of two, when his father, legendary cartoonist Bil Keane, created the Family Circus and began observing and sharing Jeffy's exploits as well as those of his mom, siblings and pets.
Now, some 56 years later, Jeff gets inspiration from his own kids as he continues his father's legacy. Jeff started out just answering mail and compiling books but, through years of his father's guidance, has taken over the feature and is responsible for all aspects of creating the daily cartoon (writing, penciling, inking, coloring).
In 2007 Keane was elected President of the National Cartoonists Society. The NCS (founded in 1946) is recognized as the world's premier organization of professional cartoonists. He was re-elected in 2009 (becoming only the fourth two-term president in the NCS's history). Along with a group of his NCS colleagues, Keane has done numerous trips with the USO visiting our troops in hospitals and military bases throughout the world (including both Iraq and Afghanistan).
In this episode, we find out what it's like to be a newspaper cartoonist in these modern, digital times, and discover Jeff Keane's very special profit abilities.

I recently finished and published the website's pages on Infections in Pregnancy. At the bottom of those pages, I have added that much again in a new section called "Other infections of Perinatal Significance". Now this may sound way too scientific and unrelated to daily life, but nothing could be further from the truth. These are the big time everyday infections we hear of each week: Pertussis (whooping cough), Bacterial Vaginosis, Toxoplasmosis, Influenza, Herpes, Chicken Pox, and more. Learn more about these common infections and how they pose special risks to pregnant women. Learn what you can do to protect yourself and those around you.
And, also coming tomorrow, will be a special section on Preterm Labor. Learn the facts and figures as we know them, and how we handle Preterm Labor today. Hint: It is not how we handled it even 5 years ago.

You should higlight these atrocties to mankind to the world about

For 3,000 years, I have been oppressed
This boy, along with 250 million of his people, have been told by the upper castes of India that they are less than human. If even their shadows falls on an upper caste, it pollutes them. The Dalit Freedom Network (DFN) is working with a growing number of individuals, foundations, and organizations outside of India to help support organizations that are within India to help the Dalits (doll-leet) gain their freedom. Take a moment and learn about the most oppressed people of all mankind.

And here are some recipes from Tupperware Rep. Kimberly!
No Fail Pie Crust
Shake up and down in Tupperware bowl sealed
3 cups flour
1 tsp salt
1 ¼ cup shortening
Mixture will look like course crumbs or cornmeal.
5 tsp water
1 egg
1 tsp. vinegar
Seal and Shake. Pour into flour mixture. Seal and shake until all is combined. Finish with a spoon or your hands. Roll on floured board. Keeps in refrigerator about 2 weeks. Yield: 2 - 2 crust pies.
Chocolate Fondue
12 ounces milk chocolate, semisweet chocolate or sweet cooking chocolate
½ cup half- and- half
2 to 3 Tbsp orange- flavored liqueur, Kirsch, brandy, white creme de menthe
2 tsp. dry instant coffee or ¼ tsp. ground cinnamon
Fruit, Marshmallows, pretzels, cake, etc.
Heat chocolate and half- and- half in heavy saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly, until chocolate is melted and mixture is smooth. Remove from heat; stir in liqueur or other flavoring. Pour into fondue pot or chafing dish with water bath; keep warm over very low heat. (NOTE: A crock pot set on LOW does a great job of keeping the fondue warm.) Stir in a small amount of cream if fondue becomes too thick while guests are dipping.
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
8 oz. pkg. cream cheese
1 tsp. garlic salt
1 tsp. minced onion
1 tsp. Worcestershire Sauce
Using the Spatula, form above ingredients into a lump into any 8-3/4 cup Bowl with seal. Put the seal on, hold the bowl in front of you and shake in a circular motion. Check to make sure the ball is round. It's magic!
Use 3/4 cups crushed nuts or whole parsley flakes to roll cheese ball in. Pour nuts or parsley flakes into bowl, seal and shake again to coat.

Doomsday Climate Scenarios Are a Joke
One study says world GDP will drop 20% by 2100, but Iceland and Mongolia will be rich beyond imagining.
Debates over climate change are filled with dire estimates of its cost. This many trillions of dollars of damage, that large a share of gross domestic product destroyed, so-and-so many lives lost, etc. Where do such figures come from? Mostly from laughably bad economics.
This has nothing to do with the soundness of climate science. The games begin when economists get their hands on scientific projections and try to translate temperatures into human impacts. They conduct statistical analyses of the effects that small year-to-year...

text: While living in Puerto Rico we enjoyed our 71 Spitfire very much. Due to relocation we decided to sell it. Moved to Ft Worth, TX, and after attending various British car shows decided to look for another Triumph. Found this 74 1/2 TR6 in good condition, needed some work. We decided to restore it, painted its original Mimosa Yellow, got new carpet, new upholstery. We have enjoyed the car for several years, on rallies and all kinds of car shows. Very dependable car and great fun to drive.

Monday, September 30
We are back to the beginning of another squat cycle so get ready for lots of volume. For those of you that just maxed for the first time and are entering this cycle working off your true percentages this will be tough. It's going to be tough for everyone and the point is to overload the legs so they adapt and get stronger. Your legs will probably feel really tired over the next few weeks and that's ok. In fact, that's the point. Then we will deload give them a chance to recover. If you are doing a cycle for the first time I would recommend rounding down on any percentages that are in between weights. Also, the squats for the weightlifting class will be on Mondays and Wednesdays now. So if you are doing both CrossFit and weightlifting you can just pick which squat schedule to be on and stick with it. Hopefully this simplifies things for you a bit.
Workout for Monday, September 30 Back Squat 2x8 @ 65% 2x6 @ 70% 1x5 @ 75%
WOD 3 Rounds for time 10 Power Snatch (135/95) 15 Pullup 20 Hand Release Pushup

The violent hail storm that passed through the Chicago area on July 1 caused major damage to the city's historic Garfield Park Conservatory, as reported in this video from FOX News Chicago.
A Chicago Sun-Times report provides more details about the damage as well as information from a Chicago Park District spokesperson who said that weddings will go on as scheduled and will take place in areas of the conservatory that were not damaged by the storm.
Not only is the conservatory a Chicago landmark beloved among nature lovers in general, but it is also one of the most popular Chicago Park District venues for weddings. While couples may be relieved to hear that they will not need to find a new wedding venue, many will surely be saddened and disappointed about the extensive damage to the historic fern room and other glass-covered areas that are popular for weddings.
Garfield Park and its Conservatory are listed on the National Register of Historic Places. In 2008 its 100 year anniversary was celebrated, and with 184 acres it is one of the largest conservatories in the United States.
The community rallied 17 years ago to help the Conservatory recover from a devastating cold snap. With local government funding likely to be scarce in this down economic time, it is certain that citizens giving a helping hand will again be essential in this recovery effort.
Wedding Creativo just made a donation, and we hope our blog readers will also respond with a donation to the conservatory today. A special page has been set up on their website where people can help.

Leandro Mlodziejewski was arrested on July 10 for allegedly raping a teenage girl in a Publix restroom.
Mlodziejewski, 28, is charged with two counts of lewd and lascivious behavior in the presence of a minor and two counts of sexual battery against a minor. He is being held in the Broward County Main Jail on $200,000 bond. If he posts bail, he will be required to wear an ankle monitor and surrender his passport, as he is a U.S. citizen who was born in Argentina and is deemed a flight risk. Attorney information was not available.
According to the arrest report, the alleged assault occurred on July 7 at around 9:15 p.m. at a Publix family restroom on the northeast side of Young Circle in Hollywood. Mlodziejewski picked up the 17 -year-old victim and two others at her house and then drove to Publix to buy food.
At the store, Mlodziejewski led her to the restroom, pushed her against a baby changing table, and sexually assaulted her, the report says. He reportedly tried to record the encounter with his cellphone and the victim was able to push him off and leave the restroom.
Mlodziejewski caught up with her outside the store and told her to "act normal" or he'd post the video on the internet, she told police. He then reportedly forced her to kiss him in front of other customers.
Afterwards, they drove to North Beach Park, where Mlodziejewski allegedly attempted to have sex with the victim once again, but she refused. He then drove the victim home without incident, the report said.
The Publix incident wasn't the first time Mlodziejewski is accused of sexual assaulting the victim. Police said Mlodziejewski befriended the 17-year-old victim and her friend, 16, around two weeks ago and bought them alcohol. He allegedly sexually assaulted the two girls on a seawall along the Intracoastal Waterway a week before the Publix incident on June 27.
The 15-year-old sibling of one of the girls was present during the incident and unsuccessfully attempted to intervene, the report said. The girls told police they believed Mlodziejewski drugged their drinks.
Another rape incident involving a minor was reported in Lake Worth on July 6. Amilcar Morales-Aguilar was arrested on July 1 for allegedly raping an 11-year-old. He reportedly recorded the incident and threatened to show the footage to the victim's mother.
Morales-Aguilar, 34, was arrested on one count of sexual assault on a victim under 12 and two counts of sexual battery on a victim under 12. He is being held without bond at Palm Beach Count Jail. The press did not name an attorney for him.
According to the police report, Morales-Aguilar met the victim at a church three years ago when the child was 11 years old. He repeatedly asked the victim to come to his home in Lake Worth. When the child agreed, he purportedly sexually assaulted the 11-year-old and recorded it.
Morales-Aguilar then texted the victim the next week and threatened to show the video to the victim's mother unless the child returned to his home. The child complied out of fear and Morales-Aguilar repeatedly raped the child over the next two years. When questioned by investigators about the allegations, he told them that the encounters were consensual, the report said.
If you or a loved one is involved in a sexual battery case, contact us to set up a free initial consultation and work with one of Florida's most experienced sexual battery attorneys.

Paul Krugerlaan/Paul Krugerplein
Alison Lunny and Ramzi Talhouk
Paul Krugerlaan and Paul Krugerplein are located in the Centrum district of the Hague. This district is the oldest in the Hague and the second-most populous, with about 99,300 inhabitants as of 2013. Within the district are nine neighborhoods. Paul Krugerplein is located within the Transvaal neighborhood. Transvaal is an area heavily populated by immigrants. In fact, over 90% of its 15,500 inhabitants are immigrants of primarily Moroccan, Turkish, and Surinamese origin. These 15,500 people make up one of the most densely populated neighborhoods in the Hague. Paul Krugerlaan is one of the main collector/distributor in this densely-populated neighborhoods, making it quite populated with cars around rush hour. In addition, the street is part of the routes of two different HTM tram lines.
Existing Conditions
Southeast Portion of Paul Krugerlaan
In this section of the city, city planners have to have enough space for the 6 and 12 trams along with stops for each, medium car traffic for most of the late afternoon to evening, pedestrians, and bikers coming from and going to a two way cycle track (this cycle track is perpendicular to Paul Krugerlaan at Paul Krugerplein). Right now, the intersection is extremely busy and the lack of traffic signals means that as a biker, you have to yield to at most seven other road users to cross the intersection. We experienced that this was stressful, and that in order to actually cross, you have to just bike out into the intersection and hope oncoming traffic stops because it is such a busy road.
The current design on the southeast section Paul Krugerlaan is shared traffic with trams, cars, and bikes and parked cars on both sides of the road (see picture below). As one can see, the road itself is only 55 feet, so this road needs to serve a lot of functions with a limited amount of space.
One can hardly imagine biking and having a streetcar following you. This is extremely unsafe, and despite the danger of biking down this street, when we visited the area, we still saw bikers (about two bikes to every five cars) riding down the street. Even though this is a car-focused road, since bikes still ride on it, city planners have to plan for the safety of the bikers.
Northwest Portion of Paul Krugerlaan
The northwest section of Paul Krugerlaan is ten feet wider than the southeast section (65'). Because of this extra space, bike lanes are already in the design. Because there is space for everyone on this section of the road, we decided not to change this section of the road in our proposed design.
Paul Krugerplein
Paul Krugerplein is a busy, unsignalized intersection between the southeast and northwest portions of Paul Krugerlaan (two way car, tram, and bike traffic). At Paul Krugerplein, Paul Krugerlaan intersects with Steijnlaan in the southwest and a two-way cycle track in the northeast. This intersection is one of the more hectic and poorly designed that can be seen in the Netherlands. Included below is a video of a few seconds of this intersection at rush hour. The video exposes many different inefficiencies of the intersection.
Paul Krugerlaan assumes priority at the intersection, however, there are trams that come from Steijnlaan and are therefore forced to wait in a line of cars that want to turn onto Paul Krugerlaan. From the start of the video, there is already a tram stopped at the intersection, where it must wait for an additional thirty seconds. These trams are operated by HTM, a company that believes waiting any longer than ten seconds at an intersection is a long time.
Another glaring fault of the intersection is the lack of bicycle facilities. There is absolutely no consideration for bikes in the intersection whatsoever, forcing them to adopt vehicular cycling as they go through the intersection, something that is dangerous given the volume of cars and trams that pass through the intersection (see photo below). Furthermore, the two-way cycle track that approaches the intersection from the northwest comes to an abrupt end at the intersection, leaving bicycles to yield to two directions of car, bike, and tram traffic, and traffic turning onto Paul Krugerlaan. At 40 seconds of the video, a cyclist can be seen dangerously crossing the intersection from the cycle track.
Below is a street mix of the southwest entrance to Paul Krugerplein on Paul Krugerlaan. As you can see, there is a tram stop in the middle (streetcar only) lane and there are two travel lanes with autocar and streetcar mixed. There are really wide pedestrian areas on either side of the intersection so there is a lot of pedestrian crossings. This can be problematic especially when there are cars making lefts because pedestrians have to look at multiple angles when crossing the street.
In the northwest entrance to Paul Krugerplein from Paul Krugerlaan, there is one autocar only lane, one streetcar only lane, and one mixed lane. While the pedestrian areas are not as large, there is still a lot of foot traffic and lots of pedestrians crossing the street, with the same problems as mentioned above.
Design Proposal
Southeast Portion of Paul Krugerlaan
We will redesign the Southeast portion of Paul Krugerlaan to have bike lanes protected by parked cars. We chose to do this because we saw that while having streetcar and autocar traffic combines is not optimal, it is relatively safe because the streetcars can easily see autocars. However, the idea of having bikers with or even next to streetcars worried us because bikers are shorter than autocars, they are more easily hurt, and streetcars take longer amounts of time to stop than autocars. We also acknowledge that the sidewalks will be shortened by five feet on each side, and we justify this because even now a lot of bikers bike on the sidewalk to avoid the daunting street (see picture below). We also found it unavoidable, given the limited amount of space, to not have a dooring risk. But there is a lesser dooring risk when the bikers are on the right side of the parked car (the passenger side), and if a biker was to get doored, they would fall into the sidewalk instead of a busy road.
We decided to keep parking on both sides of the road, but every third parking spot we will put in an area for bike parking. This will get rid of a lot of bikes being parked in the sidewalk, clearing up some space for pedestrians, and we think that the parked car volume can handle it because when we visited the site at rush hour, not every spot was filled, as shown in the picture below.
We also put in two one way cycle tracks instead of a single two-way track. We did this because there are shops and residences on both sides of the street, and if one side were to not have bike facilities, it is very hard to cross the road to get to the potential two-way track.
Northwest Portion of Paul Krugerlaan
As mentioned in the existing conditions, due to the time constraints of this project,we decided to keep the Northwest portion of Paul Krugerlaan as is and because every road user has their own space.
Paul Krugerplein
Because the intersection at Paul Krugerplein is such an unusual shape, and because there are so many tram tracks and stops, it would be very difficult to effectively and cheaply redesign the entire intersection. Therefore, we decided to just eliminate all left hand turns in the intersection. This will free up an area in the middle of Paul Krugerplein which we would pave with either stamped asphalt or brick. This brick median serves as a visual reminder to driver that the area cannot be crossed, thus enforcing the no left turn rule. This is also an area where crossing bikes can wait in between crossing lanes. Before, bikes had to yield to at most seven other intersection users, and now they only have to yield to at most two at a time. Eliminating the left turns also reduces stop time the 12 tram (the tram coming from the northwest section of Paul Krugerlaan to the southmost track on the southwest portion of Paul Krugerlaan) because it no longer has to wait for cars to finish turning, it just goes through the intersection and then merges into traffic.
Eliminating left turns in Paul Krugerplein will not significantly inconvenience drivers navigating the area. The two left turns possible are from Paul Krugerlaan northbound to Steijnlaan westbound, and from Steijnlaan eastbound to Paul Krugerlaan northbound. Both routes have reasonable alternatives. Drivers looking to access the northern half of Paul Krugerlaan from the west may follow the blue line on the figure below. This line follows De la Ruyweg straight to a right turn onto Paul Krugerlaan. Drivers looking to turn westward onto Steijnlaan from Paul Krugerlaan can follow the yellow line and continue on Paul Krugerlaan before turning left onto De la Ruyweg. Also an option for these drivers is Kempstraat, another east-west collector road a few blocks south of Steijnlaan.

Key West is the final stop on the Overseas Highway, where the land ends and meets the sea amid 19th-century charm and 20th-century attractions. The ambiance of the nation's southernmost city - which is situated closer to Havana than Miami - is embedded in the quaint, palm-studded streets, historic gingerbread mansions built a century ago and a relaxed citizenry of self-styled "Conchs".
At day's end, visitors gather at Mallory Square to "call it a day." Hardly a contrived activity, the daily "sunset celebration" is a tradition that Key Westers share with visitors. While musicians, jugglers, mimes, an occasional fire-eater and even the Key West Cookie Lady provide entertainment, the sun sinks slowly below the horizon. And, if the sunset is good enough, the audience respectfully applauds. Nightlife in the "Southernmost City in the Continental United States" features a plethora of restaurants and taverns.

The financial world has gone mad.-Lou
The Sub-Zero Club: Getting Used to the Upside-Down World Economy
Japanese families seem to have a sudden affinity for home safes. According to the Tokyo-based manufacturer Eiko, shipments have doubled since last fall. And in Germany, insurer Munich Re has stashed some 10 million euros ($11.4 million) worth of its own cash into vaults.
Why the squirreling? One possible reason is the creeping imposition of negative interest rates across the world, which could make it more rewarding to bypass banks—and a safe or vault is, well, more secure than a mattress.
Welcome to the upside-down world of modern monetary policy. In this new reality, borrowers get paid and savers penalized. Almost 500 million people in a quarter of the global economy now live in countries where interest rates measure less than zero. That would've been an almost unthinkable phenomenon before the 2008 financial crisis, and one major economies didn't seriously consider until two years ago, when the European Central Bank first partook in the experiment. Now the ECB and the Bank of Japan are diving deeper into the sub-zero world as they seek more ways to spark inflation.
ECB President Mario Draghi currently charges 0.4 percent on the euros deposited by banks in his coffers overnight. BOJ Governor Haruhiko Kuroda, whose country knows more than most about the perils of soft inflation, knocked his benchmark down to an unprecedented -0.1 percent in January. Their counterparts in Sweden, Switzerland, and Denmark have already been running negative campaigns for a while now. The U.S. Federal Reserve has, so far, remained on the sidelines.
The overall aim, of course, is to spur banks to look elsewhere when lending their cash, preferably to spenders such as companies and consumers, who should also benefit from low borrowing costs in markets. There's also the hope—especially in Scandinavia and Switzerland—that currencies will fall as investors seek higher returns elsewhere, lifting exports and import costs.
The policy isn't without risks. Bank profits could be squeezed, money markets may freeze, and consumers could end up with bulging mattresses to avoid paying to keep money in a bank account. The whole effort could wind up leaving inflation even weaker—hence the tiptoe approach to cutting rates.
"I'm skeptical about the efficacy of negative interest rates," says Barry Eichengreen, professor of economics at University of California at Berkeley. "They increase the cost of doing business for the banks, which find it hard to pass on those costs to borrowers, given the weakness of the economy and hence of loan demand. Weaker bank balance sheets are not ideal from the standpoint of jump-starting growth, to put an understated gloss on the point."

Howard Remembers Henry Hill
Early in the show, Howard noted the death of Henry Hill, the "reformed" mafioso (he was the main character in Nicholas Pileggi's'Wiseguy' which became Martin Scorsese's 'Goodfellas') and long-time friend of the show: "I loved hearing Henry on the show and I loved hearing his mob stories. But Henry was a despicable guy. I mean, he's killed people. He took a shortcut in life. … There was no substance to the guy. You didn't realize he was a pathological liar." Howard remembered Henry's greatest moments on the show: pimping his "awful, awful paintings", claiming he'd killed and buried 2 stockbrokers on the 4th hole of the Rockville Center Links, slurring a Starbucks order at (a mistakenly offended) Lisa G, and laughing that deranged, sinister laugh: "This is why Ray Liotta is such a great actor. He had that laugh down in that movie."

Ratings and Reviews
The game is amazing. No doubt about it. I've only spent money on iPhone games for this and two other apps, but this still was by far my best purchase. I love the whole gimmick and most of the puzzles are truly challenging. However, I'm on level ten of the new SAIL part (which I was so excited to have come out!) and I think there might some sort of glitch, for two reasons: One, ***SPOILER WARNING*** the M File doesn't work after going in only twice. (Though I'm pretty sure the dev is aware of that because of the "if crash" message that always pops up.) Secondly, level ten is impossible for me to pass. Either that, or I'm being painfully stupid. I've gotten no little green dots next to levels, except level nine, which opened the box in the M File. The thing, when I try to translate the dots inside of shapes, only works for the one dot inside of the square. Well, to be more precise, none of the other shape and dot combinations work, except for all those involving the square. ***END OF SPOILERS*** I don't know if this is a glitch (and to be honest, I hope it's not, so get I can have that nice "aha!" moment when you figure out the answer) or I'm missing something, but I'll keep trying. Overall, though, amazing.
Developer Response ,
Thanks for the great review! SAIL.10 does require the use of the panel on top of the M Box (As well as two fingers). If you need more help, feel free to contact us! I did put that note in the M File about restarting the app as the M File takes a lot of processing power and some devices would have trouble opening it multiple times.
Great game! Very engaging
Definitely a great game, in a similar vein to "The Guides" but making more use of environmental factors and sensors. Big fan of the gameplay and the story, though the story could be a little more developed. Puzzles were a great level of difficulty, most requiring only a few minutes to crack and those where I got stuck would usually come to me in a "eureka!" moment after a few hours.
One suggestion - **spoiler alert** - changing date/time settings on a device isn't great for those of us with corporate integrations that freak out when you do something like that. I had Exchange calendar troubles for days after solving that puzzle. It also might not be the best or most accommodating idea to have puzzles that require physical activity - what about disabled players?
Otherwise, great effort and I can't wait for the next chapters!
Clever but ultimately invasive
There are some seriously interesting uses of the iPhone's technology at work here that I haven't seen done elsewhere. However, there's a reason for that: such usage is incredibly invasive. For example, the game will suddenly start flashing your phone's camera light or require you to change the date/time settings on your iPhone or maximize the volume, etc. I was luckily playing at home but if something like the camera light flashing happened in public it would have been a problem, and having to change the settings of my phone is a bit uncomfortable.
Ultimately, I decided to call it quits when the game asked me to "run." I live in an apartment in a city, and while I tried running back and forth a bit (as well as trying to trick the phone by shaking it, etc), nothing worked. There's really nowhere for me to go "run" and frankly I have no interest in trying to make it happen. I think it's an unfair ask of the player, a situation where the game's cleverness gets the better of it.
So, kudos for the concept, there's some serious outside-the-box thinking here. I don't think this really works in execution, though.
Developer Response ,
Thank you for your feedback. As you state, the nature of the game does bring some interesting ways that your phone must be used. For the run level, you could pass it as a passenger in a car or train as you only need to hit 3.5 meter/sec. If you'd like I can give you a code to pass all levels and allow you to proceed without running. Contact me on Twitter or through my website contact form.

Our Staging Philosophy
Merchandising Your Space for Buyers
We want buyers to make the transition of logically deciding to visit your home (because it fits their size/location criteria) to emotionally "seeing themselves and their family living in your home" since we know that this transition is what will provide you with offers!Not all buyers may even entertain, BUT they ALL envision a lifestyle of entertaining…interesting isn't it? What people do and what they actually dream of doing are two very different things. We want to create spaces that buyers can dream of or "aspire to" and position those spaces to your buyer demographic. The below chart helps you to creatively view the differences between the "vision" we are trying to create for buyers who walk through your home and the way we typically live!
Remember! We need to put on our most critical Buyers Eyes, in order to market and merchandise your most valuable product! Do not be self-conscious since people do not and should not live in "staged homes!" That's the beauty of redecorating and redesign!
- Expensive things like paintings, wood, silver and glass
- New and modern things that signify fresh and clean "updated décor"
- Trends that are timeless
- The good life of travel, entertaining friends, gourmet cooking, wine tasting, espresso drinking and a luxurious, leisurely lifestyle
- Electronically savvy (Think flat screens, surround sound and laptops)
- Light and Spacious surroundings
- Harmonious and updated color combinations
- Cheap things like plastics, particle board or aluminum
- Old and dated items that signify tired and dirty
- Fads that are tiresome
- The boring life of 8 to 5, dreary, plain, vanilla and uninspiring. (Notice this is usually how many agents stage by getting rid of any traces of life or décor)
- Electronically last century (Tube TV's, wires galore and big stereo speakers)
- Dark and Cluttered spaces
- Clashing, non-rhythmic, half-hearted color choices done on the fly

Sermon Summary for Sunday, September 24th, 2017 | Respectfully Submitted by Kelley Dial
Jesus tells us the story of the workers and their wages. On a superficial level, most of us are made uncomfortable as the generous landowner pays those who worked only a short time the same amount as those who worked all day. Human nature causes us to put ourselves in the place of the worker who toils for many hours and we believe the late arriving workers are unjustly enriched. Jesus, however, means for us to go beyond the superficial, to reject an existence written in, as Bishop Wright puts it, "cold, scared, prose".
Jesus provides a different, counter-intuitive mindset. He removes us from our narrow, self-centered perspective and helps us zoom out and see the entire landscape. He takes us from prose to poetry and poetry is what we remember when we think on a "soul" level. On that level, Jesus urges us to think in terms of generosity to all, to live out our Baptismal Covenant as we "respect the dignity of every human being" - not just in thought but in deeds. In eloquent, poetic, God-like deeds.
Thanks be to God,
