Selma Labat - IFBB Pro Bodybuilder
I consider myself a bodybuilder since 1990, but just in 2013 I started competing, since the first Arnold Classic South America in Rio de Janeiro. There was an open contest and I won. It was my first competition, so I went to Arnold Classic and was 2nd place (everybody saying: omg! you look like a professional bodybuilder!!!). After that I was state champion, Brazilian champion (twice) and South American champion. So I got my pro card in just 2 years!!!!
I use in my off-season a diet rich in calories from protein, good fat, and carbohydrates. I do control the types of foods but not how much I eat.
In my pre contest diet I always use a variation of quantities of carbohydrates, each day have more or less carbohydrates, that is how my body speeds up the metabolism. I don't use to eat any fat and the protein is calculated according to my weight. I don't care about calories, I use just whole rice, oat meal, chicken and white eggs (3 months, it isn't funny lol). I've never use another diet plan, because I believe my way is the best for me. I don't like to risk myself.
A long time ago, I knew I had conditions for competing, but when I turned 40 I told myself: it's time!! It's now or never! Nowadays, I think I should have started earlier...I might have gone to Olympia...
I use to train with heavy weights, I never do cardio. I consider my training old school style. Doesn't matter if I eat less or more...I train heavy. But in this last year I had to find other techniques since I am 44 years old and although I'm feeling young, my body doesn't have the same performance. And then these new techniques are mixed with my old school training, and seem to work very well.
My last contest was my first in professional league IFBB. I went to Tampa (Florida) alone from Brazil (and I have some difficulties with the English). Well, I was terrified HAHAHAHAHA! I was thinking about my size. I am very short and I wasn't sure about my muscle volume. Everything was new for me, but I loved everything. When I got my body painted, everybody started telling me I was great. So I looked myself in the mirror and hadn't a doubt in my mind (whatever I do, doesn't matter what happens, I smile).
After 2 minutes on stage (I love being on stage) I was called to 1 callout, so I've already got my goal. The crowd's reaction and the judges' faces told me I was very good. And to complete, I won the best routine. It was a wonderful experience.
My plans to 2017 are come back to USA probably IFBB Chicago Pro and Tampa Pro, I want a place on Rising Phoenix show.

I'm so excited that one of the projects that is so dear to my heart (to empower women and children) for the last 3 years I have been working very hard on it, is soon to become a reality…
The Toto Shine Magazine is now looking for drawings, poems or short stories from children ages 6 -14.
This magazine is for the whole East Africa region and beyond, so we want as many kids from Tanzania as possible to participate.
I do remember when I was a little kid Mama na Mwana show read something I sent to them on the radio that was one of my best days. Also I answered some questions and they mailed me a congratulatory letter for being one of the winners. That little piece of paper I received was one of my inspirations growing up and I kept it for so many years.....
Motivate your kids to participate. Thanks to my very good friends who believe me on this project so far we pay US $20 if we use each drawing, story or poem on our magazine.
It is not just funny to earn money while still a kid but its also empowers. That little achievement your child, niece or nephew will receive can be a solid foundation of his/her ambition and determination to do much more in life.
The phone app is coming soon to easily update your kid's work direct from your phone or tablet.
Tell you kids, nieces and nephews and everyone you know. From abstract art and traditional drawing to sketching, painting, or doodling or perhaps it's something that symbolizes the culture or maybe it's a moment in her/his life that stands out. It could be a character he/she has created, or a drawing of a favorite pet. We are looking for it all.
For poems we prefer non-rhyming poetry (free verse poems) though if your kid prefers rhyming poetry don't hesitate to send it to us.
For short stories 1500 words or fewer works best for our readers' ages.
For a chance your kid to be accepted make sure you or a teacher carefully read his/her writing or look at his/her artwork before submitting, and then consider any suggestions to make it better. Often, there are events in stories that don't make sense, and having someone read it and make suggestions always helps!
You or your child/niece/nephew must be 6-14 years old to participate.
Follow us at @totoshinemag and facebook ID Toto Shine for more updates
The website www.totoshine.com is soon coming
Also for those who would like to support our effort you can download our media kit at http://www.kwanzapress.

Best Regards,

Back by popular demand we take another look at some of the cars that we drove in the 60s and 70s.
This era produced a range of highly distinctive and sometimes unusual designs such as the Scootcar which made an appearance in 1958. This was followed a decade later by the iconic Mini which was given a jump start by "The Italian Job" and is still as popular nearly fifty years later.
As the seventies dawned traditional saloons with chrome trims were still in demand and the Ford Zodiac was a familiar sight on the streets of Leeds but as this decade looked to the future the shapes became more streamlined with the introduction of the Austin Princess seen here in 1976.
Even more streamlined and indeed positively sporty was the Reliant Scimitar estate, a car that offered space with style.

alphabet co., google money, help vets first, Invest in America, investing, keep it real, money in america, mrpimpmytattoo, read this, social opportunity, V.A. is dropping the ball, veterans need help
Google founder Innovator in Chief still looking for ways to improve life, so we gave him some
- Focus at home not abroad although we do face major threats if we don't watch our backs but that is up to the sheep dogs of the country. You chose to defend us so we love you for that and support you by paying taxes when we shop or work. I tell a soldier I appreciate what they do for us at home when I meet one. Always..
- The elite companies that are the cash cows and have more than they could ever take to the grave with them should invest in the kids of today and educate them or empower them with the knowledge they poses or funding for the ones hired to do so. Scholarships and new books to libraries or supply Severs with data banks and access to schools with needs for employers like ITT Tech that cater to technology and efficiency.
- Hire military veterans if they have the qualifications and don't be afraid to ask their current situation at home. They may be ready to lose it all if they have no job coming out of enlistment if not already lost it all while in battle. Some come out with bonuses and others come out with their life and nothing to show for it because of a failing V.A. I have friends that have been medically discharged and given nothing but a answer like thanks for their service when going to a lawyer for help. That's just wrong..
- We have literally thousands of homeless people wandering every state of the union usually looking for a shelter or a mission to eat and get out of the cold. Some fortunate enough like myself to have enough support from friends and family to get it together. Some give up and just figure why try with the attitude that says if no one else cares where I am why should I care. Most of these humans have some skill level they can offer some company willing to give one homeless person a shot at a job.
- Invest in public showers for the general use of those with less than the rest of us. In my area there is a public shower to use if you have 50 cents but the problem with this is the County of Curry, Oregon passed a law that if your caught giving help to a homeless person panhandling or begging you will be given a ticket and it's a misdemeanor to do so with a fine and a penalty assessment.
- I can't stress enough on hiring Americas Veterans to work doing any task they are willing to pay for. Training for them in new technologies where some security is needed for they understand what it is to take orders and not complain or be insubordinate when a dangerous or difficult job needs to be done.
- Create stations where a person can come find a job or suggest one that needs to be created to fill a gap in societies mesh that holds us all together. Something like the Employment development administration offices that barely work as they are now. So some improvement could be done there.
- I have created a eco system in my place of biz so I can not always have to depend on a grocery store to feed myself or my wife. She went and got a job at the local grocery store and found we get a nice discount on our shopping which helps. Most citizens have no clue as to what agriculture is other than what we all knew as a food stamp coupon. Teach some horticulture or gardening classes or create urban gardening areas with some labor camp style housing for those interested in that type of living rather than doing nothing at all.
- The largest local grocery store where my wife is employed at this time did something very similar for our local High school kids. They donated last years seed displays that did not sell to the home economics class for their garden that helps to feed the school by contributing and selling canned products for class project funding as well. I also donated a dozen or so plants I had over planted for my winter indoor grow.
- Find people with great ideas to help where help is needed in communities here at home rather than invest in other countries where they have corrupted leadership and help us thrive and grow right here in the United States.
Most of these are simple enough to make a difference with the right leadership and to be honest the choices we have at this moment for a new U.S. president are very bleak and make me wonder and fear if a few of them were voted in we will all be wishing Arnold was president or was eligible when in fact the constitution has so many holes chewed through it it's no wonder it still is quoted or honored by the law makers of the U.S.
To my fascination I find these wealthy internet gurus to be great people and have a vision and do what it takes to achieve goals like anyone of us can with the right direction. I think I may go back to school myself.. Mr. Pimpmytattoo©

What a society counts as moral or immoral is subject to the particular zeitgeist—the spirit of the times. "At the time of the slave trade, for example, most people who were slave owners thought it was moral. Even a few blacks, once they were freed, had slaves," explains Sharon Welch, Professor of Religious Studies. As a social ethicist, Welch researches not just the way individuals make moral choices, but how a whole society begins to decide "what counts as moral." To that effect, all of her projects coalesce around such issues of social morality.
In addition to observing human behavior, Welch's humanities-related research involves reading the work of other scholars and then synthesizing those ideas into something new. For example, she has been reading the challenge to dominant ethics by Native American and Engaged Buddhist authors, trying to respond in terms of how those ethical systems differ. Asked about her latest book After Empire: The Art and Ethics of Enduring Peace (2004), Welch responds: "One of the things I've always been very interested in is the ethics of peace and war. And the kind of debate going on now about whether the United States, as the predominant political, military, and cultural power, should take on proudly and without hesitation the mantle of empire. And there are people who are arguing that we should that it's not a matter of whether empire, but whose empire, in the sense that Americans can do it better than anyone else, so that we should take this opportunity while it is ours."
Welch examines political and ethical arguments for empire, but she also examines the critiques found in the western humanist tradition: "If we look seriously at empire, we find that every empire becomes one of domination and coercion. And a basic lesson of history is that people do not like to be dominated, and they're going to resist. There's a cost to empire; there's a cost not just to the people who are controlled, but to those who are in control. We often do not see the consequences of our actions–the destruction of the lives of others, as well as our loss of moral integrity." As to the issue of whether the U.S. should try to shape a new world order, Welch says exasperatedly: "The story of empire is so tiresome. How many times have we seen it? There's a new empire that has the mantle of truth and beauty and order, and in order to maintain that mantle, justifies cruelty against people who resist.…And then this empire is replaced by another who also tries to maintain peace through domination. I think it's time people try a different script." Hence, it proves crucial at this uncertain historical juncture that, "rather than use our power to be an empire, we use our power to put in place a kind of world order that we would like to see when we're no longer the dominant political power, bringing the rule of law to the international sphere" of nations. In fact, international movements are trying to do just that—for instance, putting in place the International Criminal Court as well as regional and United Nations emergency peace-keeping forces. For example, in response to the crisis in Darfur, Welch contends that "there needs to be a force that could come in when a government cannot (or will not) stop the slaughter and violence."
In After Empire, Welch explores "what it would take for the United States to have a peace mandate," by comparing the religious ethics of Native American philosophy, western humanism, and contemporary Engaged Buddhism. The work of contemporary Native American philosophers and activists is instrumental in this regard, suggesting that "to be Americans together we really need to look at an imperial adventure very close to home, one still happening—the conquest of Native American peoples. We need to challenge the deprivation of rights that still continues." Regarding her exploration into these events, Welch states: "I knew it was horrible, but not until I did the research did I realize the level of grotesque brutality of which we [the European colonizers] were capable, and that the brutality got worse rather than better. So that by the time the last populations [of Native Americans] were being killed in California, you have some of the most grotesque, unspeakable acts—dismemberment of corpses, raping and killing innocent women and children, treating people like animals, pushing them away." For all its ugliness, "this is part of our history," Welch says, "and unless we acknowledge that we're capable of that we can't really move forward as a nation."
Telling honest stories about our country's past is an important starting point. "One of the most dangerous stories that as Euro-Americans we tell ourselves is that we can defeat evil. Whether we think we defeat it through violence, or persuasion, or coercion, the notion of defeating evil," Welch emphasizes the irony, "is often the cause of some of the greatest evil." This becomes most obvious in the case of war, "where in order to defeat the enemy we become the enemy. In order to stand up to torture, we ourselves become torturers. To protect the rule of law, we give up the rule of law."
To make sense of this paradox, Welch looks to the work of social psychologist Albert Bandura, who charges that a kind of "moral disengagement" exists in American culture, where "most evil is committed out of obedience, rather than disobedience, by people who are in pursuit of a just cause." This disengagement seems to occur by way of a particular process: first the cause is established as just (e.g., standing up to "terror"), then people begin to use euphemistic language to describe their techniques (e.g., "coercive interrogation techniques," for actions they would describe as torture if done to their own loved ones), and then they begin to dehumanize and demonize their victims (e.g., calling them "enemy combatants" and assuming that they are all guilty) and make disadvantageous comparisons (e.g., try to prove that one's own evil practices pale in comparison with that of the "enemy combatants"). On the basis of this subtle and insidious process, Welch reminds us that "a great deal of evil is done by people who are just doing their jobs, being efficient, and following orders." The Holocaust is a painful example of this syndrome. Welch seeks a way for Americans to identify this moral disengagement, observing that "it's really easy to see someone else doing it, but much harder to see it when we are the ones doing it. How do we begin to see through the rhetoric that justifies its evil—the euphemistic language, the demonizing, and the dehumanizing that goes on?"
The other tradition to which Welch turns is contemporary Engaged Buddhism, as developed by Thich Nhat Hanh—a monk exiled from Vietnam during the war. In his social service work he tried to get young people involved in repairing the ravages of war, and he was exiled because he advocated for both the North and the South. "He was equally critical of violence regardless of whence it was coming," explains Welch. "I think we have lessons to learn from Thich Nhat Hanh and his work about how we can really be what we want to be as U.S. citizens—in a land where there really is freedom and equality and opportunity." Following this lead, Welch critiques not just the violence of war and oppression, but the peace movement as well.
To illustrate this apparent paradox, Welch recalls being a faculty member in Boston during the 1980s where she attended many demonstrations to protest first-strike nuclear weapons: "At all these demonstrations, there was a group of Buddhist monks chanting with beating drums, like the peaceful cadence of the human heart. They were an oasis of calm and compassion and serenity. We were shouting, with our angry slogans and harsh signs. Only after twenty years of practicing Buddhist meditation did I realize how those monks were also protesting us as much as nuclear weapons! We were almost a mirror of the problem!" Realizing that "they were trying to show us a different way of living too," Welch became committed to finding ways that in their demonstrations they "could also be peace." When people are afraid, they use the tools they have, and perhaps "the peace movement hasn't done enough yet to put in place other tools. We really do need to find a better language for our aspirations of human dignity and peace and security because we haven't found one yet that really resonates with people. And it's a real challenge to not just fall back into the pattern of vilifying them and setting ourselves up as the righteous vanguard. We know we're not. So how can we be honest about it?" Although Welch describes many "little successes," they are not given much attention in the crisis-driven media. "We don't really have a cultural script for the little successes," she observes. "It's not as glamorous to prevent a war. And how do you know you've prevented it? Maybe it wouldn't have happened anyway." Moreover, while war may be averted, racial and economic problems still remain: "With war, there's a least the illusion of a definite end—one side surrenders," whereas with peaceful kinds of solutions "there's no defined end; the struggles are ongoing."
Sometimes research may be best described not in terms of isolated findings that result from testing a hypothesis; rather, sometimes it is more comparable to a continuous journey—each article or book a signpost of where the researcher stood at that particular moment on that journey. In that respect, it seems natural that Welch, in collaboration with Suzanne Burgoyne of MU's Theatre Department, was inspired by Paolo Freire's Pedagogy of the Oppressed (1970) to employ an interactive theatre technique in classrooms and workshops. Participants construct and then perform an image or scenarios they consider to be an oppressive situation, while people from the audience work to propose solutions, gaining valuable conflict resolution skills and empathy in the process. From this work Welch has come to realize that "the world in which you live, even though it can be really oppressive, is like fish in water—you don't notice it." And when teaching about structural imbalances in society, she notes that "a lot of the barriers that keep people back aren't deliberate. It's people just going on the way they've always done things—being comfortable with people who are of the same race or same class, and not understanding the complexities of people's history." She finds it very encouraging to learn from her students that "they really want to find a way to really be Americans together."
This work with multicultural education and interactive theatre as a teaching device is being continued as part of the Difficult Dialogues Project—an interdisciplinary initiative involving MU, and 42 other institutions, designed to address threats to academic freedom and the difficulty in civil discourse that currently exist—not only at the university but across American culture. The multidisciplinary team received a two-year grant from the Ford Foundation to see whether they could improve the quality of intensive political discourse on campus. "A lot of people don't know how to hear each other when they have really different views of what counts as important," says Welch. "In a time of real religious pluralism and strong political divides people talk past each other, they shout at each other, or they fall silent; but they don't think they can bring up tough issues and really deliberate together."
Consider, for example, what might be gained in regard to the controversial debate about stem cell research if, rather than just immediately dismissing the opposite side, people genuinely grappled with the issues, listening to the voices and opinions of each side. But we can't hear other voices if people are being silenced, and Welch, for one, is gravely concerned about "the chilling effect on academic freedom of many of the legislative measures that have passed since 9-11." She reflects on the Military Commissions Act of 2006 passed by Congress that allows "coercive interrogation techniques" and rescinds the writ of habeas corpus. "What this means is that people become afraid to speak up," observes Welch. "How can we help people speak up about this and have a genuine dialogue?" By training faculty fellows, the Difficult Dialogues Project is designed "to empower students to express opposing views respectfully and in the spirit of open-mindedness." And that kind of initiative offers a great deal of hope for the future of healthy discourse at MU—and beyond.

The Forgotten Ones
By Nichole Caskey, Harrison County High School, Cynthiana, KY
Stories of war tend to expound the tales of the soldiers battling on the front lines, facing death head on. Journals, letters, poetry—a plethora of sources can be found describing the grief of watching a fellow soldier die, the fear as bullets sound through the night, the loneliness of war. But these stories are just one side of the picture. What about the stories of the souls that are left behind to wonder about their loved ones? These stories often do not make it into the history books. However, these stories help to paint a clearer picture of the war and its effects, especially in Kentucky during the Civil War.
The Bluegrass State in the Civil War was a hotbed of conflict and chaos. Although Kentucky declared its neutrality at the beginning of the war, it was unable to hold on to this status. Kentucky's politicians attempted to keep their beloved state out of the war but failed to do so, eventually declaring it to be with the Union. Kentucky's slave status and its ties to the Confederacy kept it from being wholly Union, but nor was it wholly Confederate. The state, like the country was ripped in two. And in the middle of it all were the citizens—the inhabitants who were forced to continue to live some semblance of a normal life while loved ones were fighting and dying in their backyards.
"Normal" is a relative term in the border state of Kentucky. Citizens who had not joined a side and were not soldiers often found themselves in a position where they were fighting for their towns and farms against guerrilla attacks. The citizens of Kentucky tell stories of troubled economic times, illness, and fear of raids by the infamous John Hunt Morgan. The Civil War raged in their back yards and on their streets. The illustration of townspeople preparing for a raid by John Hunt Morgan captures the hardship and fear of Kentucky's citizens left to defend their livelihood against the man who in his own words had "come to liberate [them] from the despotism of a tyrannical faction …"[1]
Guerrilla warfare was common in Kentucky. Although there were some major battles fought in the Bluegrass State, most of the fighting was small-scale guerrilla attacks that reaped large consequences. This is evident in the image as Kentuckians prepare to meet Morgan's forces with armed militia (drawn in the background of the photo). The fear in the women's faces, although an illustration, paints an eerie picture of how life was for those left behind during the War Between the States. Several journal entries and letters, including that of J.M. Douglass to Mrs. Maggie Harris also document the troublesome raids by Morgan and the impact on the town's economy. J.M. Douglass writes in his letter of April 11, 1865, "…all but two stores is burned the loss was estimated at 90,000 dollars."[2] Another letter from D.C. Humphreys to Alexander John "Alec" Alexander on July 20, 1864 describes a low turnout for buyers of horses due to the Covington Railway being disrupted by Morgan's men.[3] Morgan's raids took their toll on the courthouses of several cities including Olive Hill, Morehead, Cynthiana and Frankfort, destroying records and wreaking havoc on the people of those quiet towns.
Morgan and the Rebels were not the only threat to the citizens of Kentucky though. Union soldiers were also known for atrocities. One account comes from Rowan County, Kentucky where Ray Smedley writes of his grandfather, Samuel Smedley's, demise. The men [Union soldiers] come to the house and asked for food. They were fed good. They then shot Samuel in the hip and his wife Mary ran over to help him and they ran a bayonet thru her belly."[4] It is not known if the Smedleys supported the Confederacy or the Union; the account does not divulge that information. But one thing is clear, the government that was supposed to protect them, in this case, did not. With both sides attacking the citizens and pillaging property, it seems that Kentucky did not seem to belong to either side (indicative of its border state status).
Citizens in Kentucky were left to defend themselves against groups of wandering rascals. Families could not visit one another out of fear of guerrilla bands. J.M. Douglass writes, "we don't know when we lie down at night but what we will be killed by Gurrilles before the Sun rises next morning."[5] Thus was the life in a border state. The economy was impacted by guerrilla destruction and theft, people's lives were ended although they were not on a battlefield and the citizens lived in fear of their towns/homes being burned and pillaged. Even after the war was over, the divisiveness in Kentucky did not end. The feelings of the people that persisted after the war were manifested in family feuds like the Stamper-Underwood Feud in Carter County, KY and the Martin-Tolliver Feud in Rowan County, KY. These stories are the forgotten pieces of the Civil War much like the state itself has become a forgotten, yet once integral, piece of the Civil War.

Classified NROL-47 mission launches from Vandenberg13 Jan 2018, 02:26 UTC
Archive Photo Credit: ULA
United Launch Alliance (ULA) successfully completed its first flight of 2018 on Friday, January 12, two days after high grounds forced the scrubbing of the initial launch attempt and one day after a ground system valve forced a second scrub.
A ULA Delta IV Medium+(5,2) carrying the classified NROL-47 payload lifted off from Vandenberg Air Force Base's Space Launch Complex 6 at 2:11 p.m. PST (5:11 p.m. EST). The mission was ULA's 27th flight for the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO) and the 36th flight of the Delta IV rocket, which first flew in 2002. This flight marked the first of 2018 for ULA.

Kawasaki A7/reviews
Motor Cyclist - Feb 1969
Whoever became involved with it showed enormous surprise at the sheer speed of the 350cc Kawasaki, but as soon as they knew it was one of those Japanese things~ they relaxed and found themselves understanding it all. After all it is like their cameras, transistor radios and more recently watches. Well that explains it. And for the onlookers it did. To a small degree it did for me as well, because like everybody else I have come to expect high standards as normal from Nippon. It is an enviable reputation, enhanced by almost every introduction to their merchandise.
To help cost-cutting nearly all manufactures turn out at least a couple engine sizes utilizing as far as possible the same components. In most cases for me anyway, the smaller of the two is generally the sweeter nut, but not this time. My standards were revised. Last month the 250, I thought was quite amazing, but now there is the 350 to consider and it is that much better.
Read Titan of Leytonstone were generous enough to loan the machine for the test, but apart from fitting one of their race styled sports fairings, nothing was other than standard. Stan Welsh, their manager, told me I would be surprised, and I was. Whilst on the subject it may be worth mentioning Reads approach to motorcycling. It may appear horribly something or other knowing most peoples views on editorial dealers mentions, but every time I visit the Westlake racer partners I am impressed by their wholly professional approach to the job of spares and what have you. It is very refreshing indeed.
All else aside now and onto the Avenger. Twice I attempted to leave home and twice I turned back by bad weather. It was unfair on Kawasaki trying to discover performance on ice besides it frightened me. But third time lucky, very lucky as it happened, for a good friend of mine came along, too, on his Vincent Black Shadow. Say what you like about the big black twins, and some people do say some rather odd things, they perform powerfully and quickly. On our bleak runway we both whacked open the throttle at a slow clutch just home speed. The Shadow boomed and bounded forward as only a machine with its tremendous torque can, but at the point where I thought all was lost my Kawasaki found its strength and, with only about 40ft. between us at the start, that's how it remained all the way up and around the speedometer. It was grand fun, and tremendously satisfying matching the screaming revs of the small two stroke twin against the legendary power of the V twin. Up to 100mph we flew, and then it was over for we had to slow down, but both machines were still accelerating prior to the roll off. Who knows what the final outcome would have been? On another occasion, by myself however I did. achieve an absolute maximum of 110mph on more than one run, so possibly the faster of the Vincent twins would squeeze past if the road. or track was long enough, but it would. be a squeeze.
Unlike the 250, power did not jump in hard hitting steps to the same degree, although they were noticeable, and. except starting at 3500 rpm or thereabouts (500 below the 250 model), were in the same place. 100 below 4000 rpm and the surge of merely fast acceleration became almost shocking. The speed up to 8000 rpm was as lightning quick as I have experienced on anything of any capacity and. regardless of purpose in life. The makers claim of 13.8 sec for the standing 1/4 mile, would I fancy be difficult to substantiate during daily use, unless you are willing to risk the wrath of the police, car drivers, John Conell, Vincent owners and. Vic Anstice. In the hands of an expert, I have little doubt that it could be achieved, but meanwhile a conventional clutch start is quite enough to leave everything else except, maybe, another Kawasaki a long way behind.
It cannot be proved., but I am sure the fairing must have contributed something towards the machines progress across the tarmac, not that it is any slur on its performance, merely that the fairing enables the engine to propel its load, along at something approaching its true potential, for a naked bike has about half the frontal area of a sports car, and. the Devil knows what increase in atmosphere drag. But who complains that a car of any kind is cheating by streamlining? More than streamlining even, in my table of advantages, it kept the weather from me. Much of the riding was over wet roads, but at no time did I wear leggings, or any wet weather gear, except for a light weight anorak. Both boots and gloves remained dry except for a quite acceptable slight damping. The screen was too low to keep the rain away from my eyes and head but my chest and stomach remained comfortable. Steering lock was unaffected. As were the foot controls on either side. The pre-focus light unit was attached to the fairing, behind, a nicely curved. Perspex nose which, as far as I could tell, made little difference to the headlamp beam. Indeed, it was somewhat better than the 250s which suffered. An over diffused beam, so I can only imagine that its bulb filament was poorly aligned.
Unlike the 250 1 have very little criticism over the road holding. On the small bike it was too hard., but on this one just right. It may well be that just the 10 pounds difference in machine weight makes the improvement, or maybe I was wearing heavier clothing on the 350, but whatever it was, this time I discovered no over sprung skittering out to the edge of a bumpy bend. Bend swinging was a delight, always. Firm light and. responsive, it gave me tremendous confidence. On second thought though, could it have been the tyres only that supplied the quality lacking on the 250? For on this model a pair of Avon's had been fitted by Reads; the rear one a GP. If it was only the tyres, then the Japanese have even more to learn about than previously imagined.
Braking was superb as far as stopping the machine was concerned, but I would have felt much happier with less spongier units. Only a gentle squeeze on the handlebar lever and things stopped turning as suddenly as you could wish for, but without any feeling of sensitivity. Whilst stopping, it was possible to squeeze even harder and touch lever and bar together, but without any increase in braking power which, I must underline again, was very considerable indeed. Exactly where the sponginess came from, I could not tell. Once the shoes had touched the drum I could still see movement in the operating linkage, but as no flexing was visible in the anchor plate, and no more than is usual with cable controls in the cable outers, I confess to being puzzled.
All in all, it is a difficult machine to fault except for one or two slight incidentals. Gear changing is as perfect as one could hope for with any manually operated mechanics. Oil consumption, despite its total loss system is better than a good many four strokes. The riding position which admittedly is a very personnel matter, I found could scarcely be bettered. Instrumentation was generally excellent, the speedometer being one of the best I have come across, its inaccuracies too small to be worthy of consideration. The Porsche car company, whose tremendous experience and technical Knowledge 1 would otherwise scarcely dare to challenge, place the rev counter slap in front of the driver and the smaller speedometer to one side, presumably to remind owners of the true value of the two instruments, and it is on this point I disagree. I think that the Kawasaki layout is correct, at least for road machines. A good, big, fat, speedo is placed centrally while the rev counter is to one side, a slightly smaller instrument there to advise only as to the best method of twisting the needle of the bigger instrument around or holding it in a certain position. Used in such a manner on the Avenger, riding became an art that gave me intense pleasure.
Often I have attempted to rationalize about foreign foot control layout and have always found myself at a loss. The American explanation is that as so many motorcyclists come from the four wheeled world (over there) it is safer to standardize as many controls as possible hence the swapped (for us) gear and brake levers using like car drivers, the right foot for the brake. It is just so much rubbish. 90% of American cars boast, and are sold, with automatic transmission leaving the right foot for the throttle pedal, and the left for the brake. By far the most important reason in support of our system seems to have been overlooked. It may appear remote and unrelated to the arguments at first though, but every animal in the world except for the camel walks with diagonally opposite legs only moving at the same time; even we swing our arms in the same manner; it is simply a matter of balance. Now, it is easy enough braking hard or changing gear at speed using diagonally opposite limbs, but using those on the same side is as unpleasant as it is unnatural. Motorcycling is simply an extension of running. Unlike a car you do not fight it, but join it for maximum performance and enjoyment; and you cannot do that unless it is as near instinctive movement as possible. Of course, it can be learned and mastered, but it should not have to be. To brake very hard, feeling as though it is all on one side of the machine, I find unpleasant as though at any moment it will swing into itself like a badly set up car. It does not stop me wishing that I owned a Kawasaki though.
Some slight noise, echoed back from the f airing, was apparent, mainly I think from the twin rotary valve discs whirling around. It is a hollow sound, not unlike the noise from a bone dry primary chain case, but much quieter of course.
Scarcely a test, more a questionnaire considering all my queries, so here is another that has always puzzled me. Why when they turn out such superb alloy castings do the Japanese insist on painting the engines alloy? It beats me.
Starting was always a second kick affair, except on one inexplicable occasion when the plugs required heating over a flame before the engine would fire.
The horn I loved. A dignified but loud, bugle notified other drivers without giving the slightest offence. Even pedestrians moved away without glowering at me.
Accessibility to contact breaker points was good, and although the carburetors were hidden under a couple of covers removal was easy enough if required. The tools were adequate for all but the heavier of repair work, but it was a bit of a squash to fit them into the box.
Lastly, you had better not think about tuning it; you cannot. The all important item on a disc valve two stroke is, of course, the disc valve, and with such things you leave well alone. It is no good hoping to smooth out induction tracts either; it is done already, but who wants to tune such a machine anyway. With such a performance it is quite unnecessary.
My grateful thanks to Reads for the pleasure of riding such a delightful motorcycle; I would love to sample another one of the machines, sometime.
According to journalists, the Avenger, with its 40.5 hp (upgraded to 42 hp with the installation of the CDI ignition) held the record in 1968 for its ratio: horsepower produced per cc. Its road performance and almost excessive handling abilities made it untouchable in many cases for the duration of its short career,
A US tester wrote there is nothing in its class that can touch it This brutal torque provides some pretty fearful speeds out on the turnpike with fourth gear capable of awesome acceleration up to 80mph Runs through the quarter gave times in the low 14's with a terminal speed of 90 mph. It is perhaps the best middleweight bike on the market. It's fast very fast. It's faster than just about anything short of an out and out super bike with twice the displacement.
Cycle Guide wrote Initial reaction from the first buyers was simply amazement. Never before had anyone seen a 21 motorcycle that could compare with it in performance.
In fact its superiority was so evident, a racer from Santa Barbara won the 1969 ACA production road racing championship riding one.
In a quarter mile drag it will beat many 500's and even a few 650's.
It was and still is a standard of comparison for its class
Another US tester of the time wrote First ride is a revelation Most 350's are only enlarged 250's; many do not run much faster, this is not the case with this bike.
Getting the gas on hard does one of two things, either the rear wheel breaks loose on dry pavement or the front wheel rapidly tries to make contact with the rear

ive been reading Jeremiah.
its a long book.
a long book about the faults of Israel.
but there are several good points in it.
Last night I read Chapter 35. This chapter is about a family known as the Recabites. Strange name, I know. Anyway, God told Jeremiah to visit them in His name and give them wine to drink. The Recabites said no. They said no to a prohpet of God. Why? Because one of their ancestors told his son that neither he nor his decendants should drink wine. They have obeyed that command ever since. My handy-dandy references say that they obeyed this for 200 years. 200 YEARS!
For 200 years, they obeyed a command. And I cant keep one for a day. What does that say about me?

Working as a full-time nanny with an infant presents the issue of being mistaken for 'Mommy' when out and about. I have experienced this first-handedly, as a nanny in Beverly Hills for a family ever since the little babe was three months old. He's now coming up on 10 months, and with that, the familiarity of us being seen out and about multiple times a day has assumed the regular belief that I am his mommy.
Having been stopped on the sidewalks of Rodeo Drive and nearby streets more than daily to receive comments in regards to me being his mother, I generally respond with a polite smile and say, "Thank you, but I am his nanny." I understand that being 23 years old and walking the same streets daily with the same baby, it is easy to assume that this perhaps could be my child. My own mom, though, came up with a brilliant idea to create t-shirts that say, "Nope! I'm the nanny." She executed her plan and sent a few t-shirts with the message in big, sparkly lettering. You would think that would help the situation, yes? Nope!
With the shirt on, I was still asked five times if he was my baby and referred to as "Mommy" by people passing by us on the sidewalk. One woman came up to me in Whole Foods and said, "I can tell just by how you hold him that you are an amazing mommy. He's a beautiful baby." I said, "Thank you so much, but I am his nanny," with a smile. She responded, "No way. There's no way." I laughed and said, "Thank you; I take that as a compliment." She said, "I bet you hear it often." If only she knew how often! 10+ times a day out on our walks around The Hills. But I do take it as a compliment, very sincerely so. If mistaken for 'Mommy' by an outsider, a nanny must be doing something right!
The situation got sticky about a week ago, when the babe himself said "Mama" for the first time while I was feeding him lunch. I got scared, so I rushed him to his mom to tell her, but she was in her room on a closed-door phone call, which generally translates to, "Do not disturb unless it's urgent," so I waited. The baby's father, however, was right there to witness as he continued to say, "Mama." I avoided the reality of the fact that he was saying this to me. This is because the way I see it, when I have a child, and if that child is ever to call anyone "Mom" other than myself, especially for the first time, it would break my heart. I couldn't let that happen, or be responsible for saying it did, so I pretended it didn't.
The baby continued to say, "Mama" blatantly in a way that was directed towards me despite my efforts to make it seem otherwise. I even tried to teach him how to say, "Brittney," although I knew without teeth and at nine months old, that'd be a long shot. His mom did a bit of research to see if he really thinks I am his mom. She was comforted by the results provided, which read that he is probably just discovering the consonant "M" and playing around with it. This put me at ease, as well, because the last thing that I want to do is confuse the little man. However, I do understand that as he spends a good majority of his time during the week with me, a slight bit of confusion is natural, and it will pass as all things do.
This brings me to the appropriateness of kissing on babies for whom we, as nannies, care for regularly. I personally shy away from the idea, even with the fact that the parents have given me permission to kiss on him the way that they do. I feel like it crosses a line, or more-so a professional boundary, that I don't feel comfortable doing. While I absolutely adore the baby, and I take care of and love him as if he were my own, the reality is that he is not my own. My job as the nanny is to keep everything at a healthy balance so that he knows this, as well. Are any other nannies facing this same predicament of how much is too much? Or do any other parents have feelings towards this topic of affection with nannies and babies, or if infants should be seen in a different light as young children in this respect?
I'd be ecstatic to hear other opinions on this subject matter, as I know it's one of many perspectives. Please feel free to leave you comments and questions below! Let's get a conversation started.
Thank you, always, for reading! It means the world, sincerely.

In the life of a young adult, socials are an activity to look forward to, and cadets are no different in that respect.
And this is why a "hop" is a major highlight in a cadet's three year tenure (Plebes are not allowed this privilege until they take a step upward as upperclassmen).
You would think that a cadet hop was nothing more than a party. Think again. Cadet hops are more formal, and though it would appear to be more stiff, by comparison, it could be quite fun and memorable – specially for those couples whose journeys began with these events.
(From the album of Cavalier Liberato Picar '40, RIP)
The cadet hops are usually held in the mess hall, appropriately rearranged to accommodate a more lively three to four hour engagement, allowing cadets to mingle with visitors of the opposite sex. (* note that my limited exposure only allowed for the experiences of male cadets at that time. With the Corps being co-ed already, the culture is vastly different.)
Should the affair be held elsewhere, the same rules apply. Invitations are issued in advance, and should the hop be in Baguio, cadets were normally allowed to escort their "drags" or dates from their houses or wherever they were staying to the hop venue, and afterwards, they could escort them back. Whatever happened along the way is none of our business, but theirs.
These affairs were comparatively stiff, by regular standards. A "hands off policy" applied and cadets were always at their straight, braced up form – which impressed the ladies no end.
This of course, was not applicable when the music turned their feet to dancing. And a lot of them danced. As the night waned, the music took on a slower pace and there was a major increase of occupants on the dance floor – including tactical officers, with their watchful eyes monitoring the distance between dancers.
What a lot of people do not know is that there was a unit assignment of gentlemen that were tasked to be equal opportunity "entertainers" to visitors without drags. These cadets approached every lady, regardless of height, orientation, persuasion, or form. They were there to make sure that their time at the hop would not be one that they would regret going to.
And many a friendship began with this intended gesture or manuever. Some even took it a bit further. At any rate, these gentlemen are to be saluted for doing the Academy proud and leaving a good memory in the minds of these female visitors, who would have otherwise ended up being wall flowers.
I have no idea what happens now, with the female cadets.
During the recent visit of the Class of 2019 to Cebu, a hop was put together to allow cadets to mingle with the young adults of their age and allow the locals to see what cadets are like, up close and personal. Needless to say, it was a successful affair and we laud the officers of Central Command, which spearheaded this initiative and the Cebu Squad families for supporting them.
I am grateful for the use of the photo of Cav Dice Dignadice 00 of this hop – he was a foster father to several cadets and they all had a memorable time with him and his family.
One last thing – the hop usually ends with "Kaydet Girl" as the last song to be played and tradition mandates that the cadet dancing with the drag has the right to demand one kiss for the privilege of dancing. How this applies to the female cadets and "dragons", I have absolutely no idea.
Times have changed things, indeed. But not the need to meet and mingle. May there be more of these engagements, and not necessarily entangled ones.

Welcome to Covenant HealthCare's Advance Care Planning resource page. This page is designed to assist individuals in understanding the importance of having healthcare treatment wishes known, before a time comes when you are unable to speak for yourself.
The information and tools below provide an overview of Advance Care Planning, Michigan Advance Directive requirements, common questions on Advance Directives and tools which can be used to create your own Advance Directives.
For more information or assistance with completing your Advance Care Planning documents, contact Tracy Bargeron, Advance Care Planning Specialist.
Access the Advance Directive - Durable Power of Attorney for Health Care form here. For your convenience, we have included instructions for completing this form.
Additional Resources
Advance Care Planning (ACP) is a process of conversation which provides information to assist with making your own medical decisions, sharing these decisions with your loved ones and care givers, and if desired completing a written document of this information, called an Advance Directive.
While most people do not like to think about it, a sudden event may occur where we are unable to make health care decisions for ourselves (for example, a sudden illness or accident). If this should happen…Who will speak for you? Who will know the decisions you would have chosen? Who will make sure decisions are made per your wishes?
It may be difficult to determine your treatment preferences, as these decisions may be different depending on the situation. The most important step is to take time to identify what is important when considering treatment options. Your values, goals, & beliefs should guide your decisions for treatment, including end-of-life care.
"Advance Directives" are legal documents which include treatment preferences and designation of a Patient Advocate (person selected to make health care decisions for another person) if that person should become unable to make decisions on their own behalf. There are two types of Advance Directives:
*It is important to understand:
While the majority of adults have the capacity to make their own decisions most of the time, there may be situations in which your ability to make decisions is questioned. These situations may be temporary and only last for a short period - for example, someone with an illness such as severe dehydration, sepsis or intoxication with alcohol; or more long-term – such as someone experiencing a severe brain injury. When these types of situations occur and there is a question of whether you have the ability to make your own decisions, the state of Michigan requires an evaluation by two physicians or one physician and a licensed psychologist to determine if you cannot make your own decisions before your Patient Advocate has the right to make decisions for you.
Everyone 18 and older should complete a DPOA-HC, as it cannot be predicted when a serious illness or injury may occur. Therefore, it is best to be prepared. In certain situations, if you do not choose a Patient Advocate it may be difficult for your health care team to know who should be making decisions on your behalf. If you do not share your wishes for health care treatment, it can be very difficult for your loved ones to try to guess what you would want.
Think of an Advance Directive as a way of making sure you have a say in your treatment, even when you may not be able to communicate and as a gift for your loved ones to help them make decisions they know you would have wanted.
Your patient advocate may be a spouse, or relative, but is not required to be relation. For some people, a friend, partner, clergy or co-worker might be the right choice. The legal requirements for a Patient Advocate include: 1) at least 18 years of age; and 2) be of sound mind.
This person should be:
Most state laws do not allow your physician or any professional caregiver to be a Patient Advocate.
It is recommended to select one or two alternative person(s) to act as a Patient Advocate if the first person appointed is not available or unable to make choices.
When the Patient Advocate selected is not a close family member, it is important to inform family members who would still be included at the bedside.
The DPOA-HC requires the following signatures:
The document does NOT require the signature of an attorney or a notarized signature.
Often people feel the need to make decisions based on a "yes" or "no" for a particular treatment (For example, "I do not want to be on a ventilator."). This may be the desired wishes if the outcome would require an individual to remain on a vent the rest of their life. However, if this same person came down with an infection that may require being on a ventilator temporarily this would be acceptable. As every possible scenario cannot be predicted, it is better to base decisions for treatment on the degree of quality of life that may be offered by a treatment, rather than just making a "yes" or "no" option for a particular treatment.
The first step toward deciding on your health care is to think about what is important to you to enjoy life. Your beliefs about pain, independence or being cared for at home or in the hospital are a few questions to consider.
The following questionnaire may help you to better understand your thoughts on quality of life when considering treatment options: Advance Care Planning Questionnaire
The overall outcomes (quality of life) for each of the treatment options below is dependent on the severity of underlying illnesses or injury an individual is experiencing. If you have a chronic illness, you should discuss with your doctor the severity of your illness and the course of the particular illness. Before deciding, be sure to learn about the risks and benefits of each treatment option.
This information will be useful when selecting treatment.
The most common decisions your Patient Advocate may need to make for you involve:

OK, so maybe the name isn't very APPETIZING, but this pasta salad is basically a combo of whatever produce I'm trying to FREE myself of, and anything else I can find that goes with it. I've made many SALADS similar to this one, and they all turn out pretty good as long as nothing CRAZY ends up going in!
Kitchen Sink Pasta Salad (for short!)
1 box or bag of rainbow rotini pasta, cooked, drained and cooled
1 to 2 cups shredded iceberg lettuce
Bell pepper, chopped (red, green, yellow, or a combo of whatever you have)
Red onion, chopped
Cucumber, chopped
Grated or cubed cheddar cheese
Cooked bacon crumbles
1/2 cup or so of sunflower seeds
Ranch dressing
Salt and pepper
Mix everything together until it looks like you've got the proportions to your liking. Serve chilled. NOTE: After about 2 days, the lettuce becomes a little more soggy than I like to eat, so beware!
TIP: Other great additions include tomatoes, fresh broccoli florets, fresh cauliflower florets, whole kernel corn, etc. Just use whatever you're trying to get rid of!

How to Sell Homes Fast
A person selling a house may opt to have marketing people who look for customers and other companies via online advertisement to get people to buy their homes.
Home sellers usually have lawyers who represent them because there has to be an agreement that is entered into and in most countries the real estate companies have a wide experience and expertise in selling homes and they usually have sales people who kook for people who may want to buy the homes.
People use the search engine online and by doing so they may get all the instructions and all the details about the kind of house that is being sold and there some free websites which may put the houses that are being sold and all the details are indicated there as well as the location of where the houses are.
It is good to get an agent to sell the property and there is usually a contract that is signed by the person buying and the agency that is selling the home and in many cases a lawyer gets engaged so that all the laws and regulations of land or property are enforced in the entire transaction.
Cherry Creek residential real estate
agents have enough experience in selling homes and a person who wants to sell a building will find it convenient and easy to sell a home fast and they have to enter into an agreement that they have been permitted to sell the said property and there is a flat fee or hourly fee that the agent may ask for and in other cases they ask for a commission of the money that will be paid for the sale of the home.
It is important to get a fresh coat of paint on all the walls of the

and since the person coming to buy the home will have to get through the gate to the home it is vital to mow the landscape and also get the flowers and other softcape to be weeded and the drive way should be repaired as well.

The Revival
'With an attention-grabbing hook and two riveting central performances, Jennifer Gerber's feature directorial debut The Revival holds you in its grip.'
-The Hollywood Reporter
Returning to his hometown with his pregnant wife, Eli (David Rysdahl) begins preaching at his late father's old Baptist church. He's desperate to open the minds of the traditional fire-and-brimstone congregation, whilst competing with the new mega church.
His plans are quickly derailed when he finds himself drawn to rugged drifter Daniel (Zachary Booth, Louie, MQFF 2018), offering him far more than just food and shelter. This darkly funny American drama examines the excruciating inner debate between Eli's homosexuality and his devotion to god, set amongst a world of potluck dinners, gossipy church ladies and repressed emotions.
Courtesy: Breaking Glass Pictures
Director Jennifer Gerber will be in attendance for this session. Please join us for a Q&A at the end of the session.

Does anyone know what is considered high blood pressure? Im 38 weeks today and I'm at 131/66. I'm not sure if it's the top number or the bottom number that counts.
Depends in your doctor and your history. In late pregnancy i usually Hover around 145/95 which is elevated. 131/66 my office considers in the normal range.
131/66 is pretty good :) if you're concerned try lying down on your left side and resting a while. Good Luck
Usually anything over 140/90 is considered high. Today mine went all the way up to 189/108 and I thought I was going to die :( I'm getting induced on Feb 3rd due to mild preeclampsia
131/66 seems quite alright. :)
I'm on hospital bedrest right now for high BP. Started off being 150/100 and it's increased to 162/110. This only occurs when I am sitting up or standing, so I am relegated to laying horizontal in bed for up to the next 9 days. Currently I'm 35w5d and they would like to keep little man cooking until 37 weeks. My labs are slowing getting worse, so he might be here sooner than that.
Ok. Looks like I'm fine then. I'm used to having bp of 105/65 so I wasn't really sure. Thanks!
I have preeclampsia to, I had to check myself into the hospital with bp being at 168/111 I thought I was going to have her that day. It's such a scary experience having preeclampsia and not have anyone to talk to about it. How are you handling it? Me.... I'm
A nervous reck!
The top number is just a touch high being that it is over 130. The bottom number is good, and that is the number doctors get more concerned about in terms of pre eclampsia.
I wish my Bp was there. I would be breathing easy. Mine keeps creeping up. Yesterday was 150/110. I have a doctors appointment today and hope he can tell me what we are looking at. Labs Friday at hospital was fine and only trace protein. Already up with a headache tho.
at 38.3 week check up my doctor told me he wanted to see me sooner as my blood pressure was higher then it has been during this pregnancy. I go see him today.. I hope it has gone down! Not sure what will happen if it hasn't. No urine in protein..
