Earlier this year, when I was watching the tens of thousands of runners take part in the London Marathon, it took me back to when I started running. Initially, I just wanted just to get in shape, then my competitive spirit kicked in and I started entering events, including the London Marathon. I thought I was doing well, my results improved, and I was losing weight. I was training on my own and doing what I thought was the right way to prepare for running such a long race.
As it turned out, my first marathon turned into a painful and disappointing experience, but I knew I could get better, so I decided to change my training approach. One year later I ran the London Marathon again, finishing almost an hour faster than the previous year, with no pain. I enjoyed the experience and felt a sense of achievement as I received my medal.
Leaders who adopt a "DIY approach" to leadership development, as I did for my first marathon, and the companies who sanction the same approach, will have a high proportion of their leaders feeling like I did. Many of those leaders will be achieving only a fraction of their full leadership potential, with all of the associated performance implications.
To make sure leaders get the maximum return on the time and resources being used for their development, there are some "essential" elements that need to be in place to enable and ensure each leader reaches his or her full potential.
Many people see runners as individuals. At a marathon, thousands of individuals take part, and all of them are motivated to run for different reasons, but they have a common goal; they want to finish. Leadership development should create a similar feeling where you have people, all motivated to be a leader, with a level of support so leaders never feel they are on their own, and they will be motivated to take part and cross the finish line.
The modern learner's needs and expectations differ from learners of the past. The 2018 Global Leadership Forecast reported what leaders want and how much they are getting from 19 different learning methods.
The reality is what leaders are being given is different from what they want. As a consequence of this, they will either gravitate to what they want, but it might not be what they need, or they might simply give up as they lose the motivation to continue. The graphic below presents a visual summary of how disconnected we are from meeting the needs of today's learner:
Once development tools are chosen and made available to learners, an important next step is to ensure each learner identifies and understands his or her own learning preferences. These learning preferences provide a guide, suggesting how a leader likes to learn. DDI suggests four learning preferences:
Knowing learners favor one of these four preferences enables organizations to provide a range of learning options to accommodate the four learning styles. One approach will not be able to meet the learning styles of all the learners.
When learners know and understand their preferred learning style, they can identify and leverage the activities that will enable them to enthusiastically accomplish their development goals, resulting in greater retention. They'll also apply what they have learned, resulting in goals being met in a shorter period of time, thereby increasing the return on the time and money being invested in development.
Probably one of the most important reasons why it is unwise to permit DIY leader development is that without guidelines or framework, there is no guarantee the investment in time and resources is going to result in meaningful, measurable outcomes.
The first and possibly the most important step to mitigating risk is to determine the essential skills that are going to be required for success as leaders prepare for the challenges ahead. This was a key component I didn't consider, or if I did, I didn't take them seriously, as I prepared for my first marathon!
For both runners and learners, there are three building blocks that enable success once the essential skills have been determined:
1. Assess (Target Goals). Begin with identifying the strengths, as well as growth areas within the predetermined essential skills. Too often the strengths get ignored.
To help the learner determine where to focus, it is best to gather insights from a variety of sources. For example, if you have assessment data, you could also ask your manager for his or her perspective. We need to determine high-payoff opportunities. This is done by asking questions:
Once these questions have been answered, begin by keeping the application in mind—keep it simple, with a focus on one strength and one growth area.
2. Acquire addresses how a learner develops in the area he or she seeks to improve. Best practice suggests that learners use a combination of learning methods. Ideally, they can leverage learning opportunities that address more than one need at the same time. It is important to identify the potential barriers that could get in the way and to agree on the type and level of support needed to address the barriers.
3. Apply is when learners get to use what has been learned. The application should be immediate and progressive, as the longer learners delay in using what's been learned, the less they remember to use. Learners need know the progress and outcome measures; without them the learner will have no idea if what he or she is doing is making an impact.
Just as they do when they are in the acquire phase, learners need to anticipate any barriers they might encounter and have a plan to overcome them. When learners take a planful approach to development, it should be possible to leverage application opportunities that provide multiple benefits. Finally, the learners should be open to any unexpected application opportunities.
Following this approach creates a safe, supportive environment for everyone. It motivates leaders to put one foot in front of the other and keep going, rather than giving up at the first hill they encounter—leading to a meaningful investment of time and an improved bottom-line performance. What other results can be expected?
DDI conducted research that shows how taking a structured, disciplined approach to developing leaders pays off for everyone who is involved and impacted by leadership development.
The performance outcomes of leaders who aren't relying on a DIY approach to development, compared to those that do, indicates that adding structure and discipline to how leaders "prepare" to perform is a good investment.

Do you ever feel like you're not good enough and not matter what you do, you'll never be good enough? It's where I am right now, and honestly, I don't like feeling this way. I am all about thinking positive, and I really try to do that each and every day. I look at situations and look for the good in them, and a lot of times, it helps. Sometimes it doesn't, and today is one of those days.
I'm a financial mess, and I honestly don't know how to fix it. I should probably get a second job but I am also just old and tired. My body aches in a thousand different places. Of course part of that could be because I'm fat and need to lose at least 100 pounds. So of course I had a peanut butter and fluff sandwich for breakfast. An awesome, healthy meal, lol. No it is what it is, and that's comfort food. As is popcorn and tea.
I should exercise, but I hurt too much. At some point, I turned into an old person. I'm not quite sure when it happened, but it did. I'm sitting here complaining about aches and pains and how horrible life is. To me that equals old person. Ugh.
I know I should put my faith in God, and I try that, too. Every night, I read a daily devotional, and participate in a bible study. But what I'm finding about myself is I suck at being a good person, and being the person God wants me to be. I try….I really do, but I just suck at it. I'm to snarky and small thinking. But I do try, so that's something.
I want to write, I used to love writing, but now I'm more interested in the escapism of stupid facebook games. Dice with buddies, candy crush and angry birds. Logically I know I should put those aside and do other things, like writing and exercise. But I don't.
As I sit and read back over what I've written, it all adds up to one thing – depression. But I'm already fat, so why would I want to take an anti-depressant that can lead to weight gain.
I'm discouraged and I need to snap the heck out of this funk.

Wayfinding Digital Signage presentation
Has anyone successfully created a touchscreen Wayfinding Digital Signage presentation?

Zalman, custom webpage built with jQuery Mobile. Check these out: https://jquerymobile.com/ and https://www.quanzhanketang.com/jquerymobile/default.html
I think it is perfect for multi-page presentations, easy to build with, and has all of the elements necessary for positive interactive experience. It is fading away, though. It is being replaced with a number of other platforms where you kneed to know java. But it should not be a problem for something localized as displays, so I am gonna keep using it.
With the last one, I went a step further and built it using jQ Mobile within the RV presentation's HTML. The goal was to be able to use RV Widgets (you cannot do it with the web pages built outside RV). It worked well, but not everything functions the way I wanted.

One spot you may visit on your guided jet ski tour (if weather permits) is Hidden Island, a small rocky island dotted with a couple of scrawly trees nestled against the shore of towering Cecil Peak. Because it blends so well with the shoreline the island is invisible from Queenstown and this is how it got its name.
Hidden Island's main claim to fame is that in the 1980s it was used as a location for the Island of Fin Raziel in the Ron Howard directed high fantasy film "Willow".
In the film the island drew its name from the enchantress Fin Raziel, who was turned into a possum (an introduced Australian mammal that's a major pest in New Zealand) and stranded there by her rival, the evil Queen Bavmorda. The transformed Raziel spent long years on the uninhabited island, until the Nelwyn hero and trainee magician Willow Ufgood came to rescue her.
In the movie the snowy Remarkables mountain range can be clearly seen in the background behind the island.

Synopsis: Increase in human death claims due to global warming have all proven false.
Source here. "Global warming reduces the incidence of cardiovascular disease related to low temperatures and wintry weather by a much greater degree than it increases the incidence of cardiovascular disease associated with high temperatures and summer heat waves....reduces mortality due to respiratory diseases decrease as temperatures rise and as temperature variability declines....Claims that malaria and tick-borne diseases are spreading or will spread across the globe as a result of CO2-induced warming are not supported in the scientific literature....Total heat-related mortality rates have been shown to be lower in warmer climates and to be unaffected by rising temperatures during the twentieth century."

Our top charity Christmas cards
At Christmas, the giving of gifts can be just as gratifying, if not more so, than receiving. Even a simple card can be gratefully received, and lets someone know you're thinking of them. This historic tradition is thought to have started over 170 years ago, when Henry Cole, founder of the V&A, ordered 1000 copies of cards depicting acts of charity alongside his family raising a toast. Nowadays, we tend to combine celebrating with acts of charity, and the giving of charity cards is a great way to spread festive cheer while donating to causes close to our hearts. These are our favourites this year:
Co-founded by Liz, LiveTwice provides a range of helpful support for communities in need by offering 'a hand up, not just a hand-out'. The stylish, simplistic design of these cards is inspired by the logo for Noah's House, a young people's respite care home in Dorset founded by LiveTwice. It's a lovely way to spread a traditional message of peace this Christmas.
William's Fund
We love the fun festive snowball fight scene, watched over by cheeky angels, on these cards. William's Fund was founded after a family tragically lost their young son William. The charity raises vital funds for research into children's cancer. During William's treatment, the family would send a Christmas poem in a card to family and friends to keep them updated on his situation. William's grandmother, Elizabeth, designed all their charity Christmas cards until her death in 2016 – the cards are now a legacy for them both.
Battersea Dogs & Cats Home
We have Battersea Dogs & Cats home to thank for rescuing our very own wellbeing wonder-dog, Basil, before Lily rehomed her. Their Christmas cards come in five playful designs, including a family of cats and dogs sitting down to a turkey dinner in front of a roaring fire. We're sure Basil would approve!
Friends of the Earth
All Friends of the Earth Christmas cards are printed on uncoated recycled board, certified by Forest Stewardship Council (FSC). As well as the adorable animal designs, we love that these eco-friendly cards come with a recipe on the back to help transform Christmas leftovers.
Back in Victorian times, Royal Mail postmen were clad in bright red coats, which earned them the nickname 'robins'. It seems particularly fitting, then, that these cards should feature a robin on a post box, especially as the proceeds go towards supporting our feathered friends. Back in 1898, the RSPB actually became the first charity to sell Christmas cards – what trendsetters!
Royal Botanic Gardens – Kew
Our passion for botanicals spreads into all areas of our lives, so we can't resist Kew's Christmas cards which feature some of our festive favourites such as mistletoe, holly and winter red. All profits go towards supporting Kew's valuable research work, which Liz has also been connected with in the past.

Horses Have Much to Offer into their Twenties and Beyond
By Kim Roe
I've always joked that horses don't get good until they're 10 years old, then you have a few good years and they're old. As with much humor, there's some truth there. Of course, there are exceptional horses who are wonderful by the time they're 5 or 6, but most horses seem to bloom around the end of their first decade.
The part that's not so true is that the productive years after a horse turns 10 can go on for a long, long time. Horses live longer and are much more useful into their senior years than they used to be. Horsemen once considered a horse "old" by 18 to 20. These days that's not the case. Many horses are living useful and productive lives well into their mid to late 20's. And those horses are often the best horses in the barn. Unfortunately, older horses are often put on the back burner (or abandoned altogether) while riders focus on younger prospects.
Senior horses have so much to offer us. All those years of training and experience make them a joy to be around. Even after they can't be ridden they are wonderful to have around the farm or ranch, acting as babysitters and buddies for the others.
My own Beowulf (Wulf) is 28 years old and I'll admit I was one of those people who got distracted by younger prospects too soon. He's still sound and healthy and could easily be in work if I didn't have so many others to ride. He is the best moving horse on my farm, and the kindest of souls. He was bred by my mother and given to me as a gift. And he turned out exceptional (although he was always a bit too big for me).
Now Wulf's job is raising my yearling, Gus. He's a wonderful "grandpa" to him, though sometimes too forgiving of Gus's naughty antics. They live side by side in their shed and go out together in a field every day where they run and play like silly colts together. It gives me great pleasure to watch them grazing together. Wonderfully, Gus is beginning to have the same laid-back gentleness and loving attitude that I've always enjoyed in Wulf.
Enjoy our Senior Horse issue. Choosing a winner for our essay contest is never easy. The love the writers' express for their old friends always moves me to tears. Thank you to everyone who entered! firstname.lastname@example.com

Question: Extreme anxiety and phobias because of weight gain etc
|michellecharlotte - Tue Jan 06, 2009 8:29 am
Share |
So, I've gained about 15-20 kilos in the last month/s or so, and I'm now overweight. I can't see any reason I would be overweight to this extent. I eat fruit and vegitables, meat breads and cheese, in fact all six food groups as my fiance is a bit of a health food nut. I do eat 'junk' food, but no more than anyone else. I also work at a cafe, which means I stand on my feet alot, i do most of the housework at home, if not all of it.
My weight gain is causing me to be very anxious about almost everything, I'm doubting my partners love, because I'm fat, and I wonder why he would want to be with me, I'm getting so bad I don't want to leave the house anymore, and I can't sleep and when I do finally fall asleep, I don't want to get up. In the last year or so I can't stand going to work, and I get really anxious before I go, unusally a few days before. I now only work six hours a week, and I still can't stand it. It's not my job though, it's a good job. I can't seem to concentrate on anything latly, I don't' want to spend time with my friends, especially the skinny ones that have 'good' lives. I feel like I don't get enough sympthathy from my friends and family, but they all tell me I'm just 'making a fuss about nothing' and when I go to the doctor - which i can't stand - I always get the same answer, 'eat better and get more exersise' - I was going to gym, in fact I still go, and I always try to eat right.
I know that if i was thirty kilo's lighter I would be much happier with myself, I'd be able to concentrate and I'd probably feel more deserving of love. I get angry because people don't want to take me seriously, and I feel like I have to resort to extream measures (smoking, drinking coffee, starving myself) just to get something to work. I feel so guilty everytime I eat something, and I try to stop myself from feeling hungry. I'm also having panic attacks.

Hello, Michellecharlotte
You are certainly having a difficult time. The constellation of your various symptoms of increasing anxiety suggest that you are feeling more and more out of control of your life. There are no simple answers, just as you identified in "eat right, get more exercise". I believe your problem is beyond self help, and that you would benefit very much from a psychological evaluation and treatment to help guide you back to feeling in control of your life. While it is difficult for you to see a doctor, it is essential that you see a mental health professional for assistance. Medication may help, but would not address the underlying issues that are causing your distress. You had the strength to write to this forum, and I believe you have the strength to pursue psychological treatment. Call and make an appointment, and then keep the appointment as a vital first step in getting you back to good health.

So I've been thinking lately: "Whatever happened to TV's Summer Sanders?"
As a child growing up in the 90's, the golden age of Nickelodeon, (PS what happened to Nick anyway?) I got to see many amazing shows like What Would You Do?, Legends of the Hidden Temple, and my personal favorite: Figure it Out. Summer Sanders was the host for this always-entertaining investigative game show where wacky celebrities like Lori Beth Denberg and Danny Tamberelli used clues to figure out what crazy talent these kids had. And of course, someone always got slimed! Remember the funny hats the audience always wore? My favorite episode was where the kid could "PUT HIS SISTER IN A BUBBLE."
Anyway, so I don't know what made me think of her, but I realized that Summer Sanders may have little-to-no career left so I decided I would start with her IMDB page.As you can see, she hasn't done anything since she hosted the shortly-lived series Skating with Celebrities. General Rule: if you're knocking off Dancing with the Stars and your most well-known celebrity is... Summer Sanders, your chances of survival are not that great.
Next, I thought I'd GoogleNews her. That is to say, see if she's been a part of any relevant news events lately. Answer: no she hasn't.
So this classic-TV-game-show-host-gone-missing case is still wide open.. If anyone sees her, let me know! And tell her we want Figure it Out back!

Figure it Out
So I've been thinking lately: "Whatever happened to TV's Summer Sanders?"

Is the creepy clown mask back?
A victim of theft in the South Bay says one of the suspects left behind a clown mask as he was getting away. The suspect was not wearing it at the time of the crime, but police said it might provide a link to other crimes in the area.
"They say they believe it might be linked to a few home invasions," victim Justin Wise said. "There's been a slew of robberies."
Wise says he was installing shutters at a home in North San Jose last Wednesday when he saw two young girls and a man stealing power tools from his unlocked truck.
The suspects jumped into a car and Wise ran after them down a street.
Police told Wise the car was stolen out of Fremont.
"I work hard for my tools and those are what I use to support my family," he said. "No one should be able to go into someone else's property and take it."
What stuck with Wise was the clown mask.
Surveillance video of a convenient store robbery in Florida this past June show suspects both wearing clown masks.
Police are not confirming a trend with clown masks, but there is a concern because Halloween is only a month and a half away.
Schools last year banned clown masks on campus, along with any mask that conceals the identity of the person wearing them.

Fall Garden
(except for my herbs and my peppers, which are finally producing) and laying in some lettuce, carrots and onions. I believe if I plant them now, I'll be able to harvest this November. We don't really get snow here and all of those plants are very cold hardy. We've had so much rain the past two weeks I haven't been able to do any gardening.
Just a reminder to those in the temperate climates- now is the time to plant out your fall garden seeds.

I live in Texas too! How cool is that? I seem to notice a lot more people homesteading and prepping in Texas, or is it just me?

Just a follow-up to the lettuce.
I harvested most of it right before a big freeze. Of the 6 or so plants I left, all but one survived the single digit weather (I only put a tarp over them for one of the nights.) They all survived, but the growth is very stunted- better than nothing, but they haven't grown hardly any more than when I did the first harvest.
So, I think it's safe to say that I will keep my lettuce in the ground all winter and just harvest when I want fresh lettuce.

"We hope that libraries will always exist as places for learners to find information, resources, services, and instruction. But formats, technologies, learning needs, and our schools are evolving. And so are students themselves. Our entire information and communication landscapes have shifted—and this shift will only continue." – Valenza & Johnston (October 2009)
The school library is central to learning and plays a key role as a place for encouraging innovation, curiosity, and problem solving. Our library is a catalyst for literacy and reading and for teaching and scaffolding inquiry learning. School libraries make a difference to students' understanding and achievement and provide support for teaching and learning throughout the school. The school library is an important part of the school community and reflects and welcomes this community.
Our school library plays a key role in the cultural and social life of the school. It can be a central point for engagement with all kinds of reading, cultural activities, access to information, knowledge building, deep thinking and lively discussion.
The school provides a modern library well equipped with wide range of books, journals, novels, encyclopedias, newspapers and magazines. The library is also a learning lounge for students to hold group discussions of carry out self study.
The school library provides a model for inquiry learning and building knowledge and confidence in seeking and processing information. The school library is pivotal to developing learners.
There is a large and growing body of evidence showing the impact of the school library on student achievement.
It is a fundamental resource for supporting students' learning, and a key support for teaching staff. Our school library reflects and encourages collaborative learning and sharing of ideas.

All learners develop and use searching skills effectively based on careful choice of information. Students and educators learn to discriminate useful and valid information relevant to their task. The library encourages all learners to reflect on their own learning and to challenge their own assumptions and perceptions. The library is a place where curiosity and creativity are encouraged.

Clutching a giant cardboard cutout of LeBron James' face, Brandon Giove prepared to head home, "a bit disappointed."
The 20-year-old Lakers fan from Huntington Beach hoped to see the team's new superstar at Blaze Pizza in Culver City, as the chain that James is a part-owner of celebrated his arrival in L.A. by giving away pizza for three hours beginning at 2 p.m.
Giove became resigned to the fact that James was unlikely to arrive. Then he heard people running toward a car at the opposite end of the parking lot. Maybe The King was here after all?
Giove ran back with everyone else. It was a false alarm. One of many that briefly excited the crowd of fans who had seen James' tweet "Haven't been to a pizza party in a minute. Culver City?" on Monday in response to Blaze Pizza's promotion.
For the hundreds who waited in line in Culver City and other Blaze Pizza stores across Los Angeles, there was free pizza but no LeBron James. His wife Savannah posted an Instagram picture of him relaxing in a pool later in the day.
"I'm a bit disappointed but I'm still a Laker fan, I'm still gonna root for LeBron and it was still a great time here," Giove said. "I think we're still going to have a great time. I think the fans are still going to be really happy for him even though he didn't show. It really says a lot that so many people came here to see him without even being certain that he would show."
James' plans weren't just a mystery to fans. Blaze Pizza marketing chief Shivram Vaideeswaran said the company, of which James owns roughly 10%, knew no more than the crowd.
"We didn't know about his tweet until he posted it," Vaideeswaran said.
Fans formed a line around the block in the hope of getting into the Culver City store. Fans in line had Lakers jerseys, Cleveland Cavaliers jerseys, Miami Heat jerseys and one Boston Celtics jersey bearing Kyrie Irving's name and belonging to Orange County resident Alex Khalaji, who drew the ire of Lakers fans as he held it up.
Standing at the very front of that line was Janet Raines, 47, of West Los Angeles, who arrived at 7:30 a.m.
"I was surprised I was the very first person in line, but I love the Lakers, I love LeBron. I'm just happy to welcome him to L.A.," she said.
"Even if he doesn't show up here today, I know he'll do many great things for Los Angeles and for the community."
Chase Landers of Santa Monica said he wouldn't be too discouraged by James' absence either, albeit for different reasons.
"I just really want a free pizza," Landers said. "If he came that would just slow me down from getting my pizza."

1967 the year of 1401 with about three machines one at ESSO, one at BSES Santacruz, and a showcase IBM office at Ballard Estate in Mumbai, was a far cry from the statement in 1943 of Thomas Watson, IBM Chairman, "I think there is a world market for maybe five computers." . BSES had a 4k machine supported by punch/reader and printer. There were two guys – a system engineer with an IBM Template and a software engineer trying to squeeze in the characters limited to 4k to make the output – payroll and inventory a workable monolith.

Extract from the book: Inactivity Based Cost management: Measurement of Intangible: Governance, Ethical & Fiscal Responsibility and Acountability
Where does Governance exist? The interesting quote of Robert Doniger, [from Timeline by Michael Crichton], I'm not interested in the future; I'm interested in the future of the future, possibly has a clue. To-day was the future of yesterday and tomorrow is the future of to-day as well the future of the future of yesterday. Effectively what Doniger says is that he dwells in the past all the time the fascinating historical events and ever interested in tomorrow, a dreamer and a maverick he is, that he ignores 'to-day' completely. Working like a beaver, he takes his scientists and cultural experts to the past making them stuck in the ruins of history and the genius that he is, promises a great future of the future making the people of to-day to sit in awe and wonder till they realize the future ever remains a distant dream. A solar view of the planet displays the monumental towers everywhere, promises that are not kept. These towers represent a cost already incurred that cannot be recovered. Donigers do not think that it is necessary for them to be concerned about to-day and not at all obliged to inform or discuss the cost consequence of their action, where to-day represents the effect of decisions of yesterday for all to see with utter helplessness.

An excellent quality tip. Very stylish and beautiful. Fits the 510 perfectly.
Posted by Lizzie on 9th Apr 2013
This drip tip is very beautiful ceramic, high quality construction. However, I use an 808 threaded V4L 1300mh battery. I use cartos as well as tanks. The drip tip is loose in both. It doesn't fit snugly as it should. I would highly recommend this to 510 or other threaded users, but if you use 808's buy with caution as it may be too looose. Overall, very lovely tip.

ST. LOUIS, Jan. 6, 2010 -- Boeing [NYSE: BA] and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) Air Force and Air Defence today announced that the UAE has signed a contract for the acquisition of six Boeing C-17 Globemaster III advanced airlifters. The UAE, which announced in 2009 that it would modernize its airlift capabilities with the C-17, is the second Middle East nation to order the airlifter.
"The C-17 will give the UAE the ability to perform a variety of humanitarian and strategic lift operations around the world in support of both national and international missions," said Major General Staff Pilot Faris Mohamed Al Mazrouei. "These missions require us to be ready for any contingency at any time and any place, and the C-17 meets our requirements."
Under the agreement, the UAE will take delivery of four C-17s in 2011 and two in 2012. Financial terms are not being disclosed.
"Boeing is pleased that the UAE Air Force has selected the C-17 to meet its airlift requirements for the 21st century," said Jean Chamberlin, Boeing vice president, Global Mobility Systems. "The C-17 consistently posts mission capability rates that are among the best in the world, earning it high marks for its industry-leading quality and reliability."
Boeing will provide support for the UAE C-17s through the C-17 Globemaster III Sustainment Partnership, an agreement under which Boeing is responsible for all C-17 sustainment activities, including material management and depot maintenance support.
"As a tactical and strategic airlifter, the C-17 is a perfect fit for the requirements of the United Arab Emirates Air Force," said Tommy Dunehew, Boeing Global Mobility Systems vice president of Business Development. "In addition to being able to land and take off on short, unimproved runways, it has the highest mission capability rate of any airlifter."

Hello lovely ladies and gentlemen (man? haha). You may not have realized this lately, but this is a health and fitness blog and there's supposed to be fitness posts up in here. Well today is your day. (By the way, I do post all my daily workouts on Instagram (@momswimbikerun --> follow me) and my Facebook "fan" page. So if you're not getting your daily dose of Susan's workouts, check me out there.
Anyway, today was the first double digit long run of Pittsburgh Marathon Training (I'm running 26.2 in May). We knew it was going to be cold and we knew it was going to be snowy, nevertheless I wasn't happy about seeing this when I woke up.
Feel like -4? Really? Really? I quickly checked my phone in hopes that Tracey or Charlene would have cancelled, alas they did not. Bummer. So I was going and I was scared.
As per usual, my legs were sore from my weeks worth of workouts (I did CrossFit 4 days this week) and I was worried how this run would go.
When we pulled up to the park the roads (and running path) didn't seem that bad. As you can see in the pic below the road was pretty much clear and we tried to run there when there were no cars coming.
That didn't last however and most of the 5 mile loop was slushy, snowy and downright HARD to run on.
But we were there and we were determined to get our 10 miles in. We did the 5 mile loop 2 times.
Like I said, my legs were really sore and my ankles (an ongoing problem) were really sore. The good thing is they usually loosen up and feel good, but that's not until mile 3 to 5. I kept falling behind Tracey and Charlene, but I really was doing the best I could all things considered (snow, legs, temps).
It was really cold and I can't help but think that affects things as well. We all had face masks that we used, but out eyelashes and eyebrows were accumulating ice.
Nevertheless, we made it through the first loop, slowly, but we made it.
Mile 1: 11:12
Mile 2: 11:13
Mile 3: 11:21 (big ass hill)
Mile 4: 10:48
Mile 5: 11:06 ---> Gu
Tracey informed Charlene and I that we had had a slow first 5 miles. She said we had to pick it up and make our 2nd loop faster than the first. After our Gu, I thought it might be possible.
I actually started feeling better physically, but I was cold and a little cranky. Tracey let us know we had just a 5k left, but to me that sounded like an eternity.
With the terrain a little flatter after the HUGE hill, I was able to pick up the pace a little (or so I thought). I thought maybe we'd make up time on our second loop. The roads were really bad, however, and I think it slowed us down. We moved out on to the road when we could and even got yelled out by a vehicle coming the same direction we were (i.e. NOT on our side of the road). Tracey yelled a few expletives at him and that gave a boost to finish the last mile strong.
Mile 6: 11:06
Mile 7: 11:01
Mile 8: 11:30 (big ass hill the other way)
Mile 9: 11:35 (really bad roads and a hill)
Mile 10: 10:16 --> boom
Total: 10.00
Average: 11:07
We didn't wind up having a faster 2nd half, but at least I FELT better.
Today definitely wasn't the ideal conditions for a great run, but we got it done. It was definitely slower than I would have liked, but it is what it is. We ran 10 miles in adverse conditions and we survived. To me, that's a win.
Until the weather breaks, we can just dream of warmer weather ladies! Remember this?

Mirror Lake
Mirror Lake was once a runoff pond for a 19th century sawmill on the property. The Bellingraths had it dredged and built the Mirror Lake Dam to create a tranquil lake to reflect their azaleas and other flowers. Surrounding the lake is the Summer House, offering quiet shelter to visitors. The Bubbling Brook is a natural spring that area settlers once used for bathing. The Lion Overlook is centered with a life-size feline created in the mid-19th century as a garden ornament for a home on Mobile's Government Street and the Rustic Bridge offers a view of the surroundings as well as fish and turtles. Along the exit path you will encounter the Mirror Lake Overlooks. The overlooks offer guests views back over the lake and offer excellent vantage points for photography.

The Vathalagundu market is perfectly suitable for street photography. I was in the flower market area last week (May-19) when I captured this beautiful photo with slightly blur image on the corners.
I carried my Mi Note 5 Pro smartphone, which I feel is the best camera phone for a good photography. However, there are latest smartphones trending in the market, much better than the Note 5.
There is some more time for me to upgrade. I may or may not stick to Mi Phones for my mobile photography needs. It depends upon which phone is trending in the market when I plan to upgrade.
Woman selling flowers
I shot this photo of women selling flower in a landscape orientation and on a portrait mode. However, I had to crop unnecessary subjects using Photoshop for mobile.
Tractor & Auto rickshaw
I love this photo of a tractor and auto rickshaw coming together in the narrow street. There are many subjects in the photo like the people, vehicles, fruit vendors, vegetable vendors and of course the flower vendors. The blur image on the corners and at the center is a result of portrait mode in Mi Note 5 pro.
If I carried DSLR, I would have attracted more eyes towards the lens and it would never been a candid photo. This is what I love about mobile photography, quick and easy.
Woman pushing cart
This photo is also interesting. The main subject is the woman pushing the cart with empty barrels to get water. This tells that there is a shortage of water in the locality. The hawkers surround the temple and the people are busy shopping.
Man wearing lungi
The photo also highlights the man wearing lungi. In fact, there are many wearing lungi, a common sight in this part of the State. There are blur corners on the photo highlighting only the few subjects. This is the result of portrait mode in the Mi Phone.

Violent crimes are some of the most heavily prosecuted criminal cases in Arizona. Unfortunately, it is also possible for the wrong person to be convicted and given an overly harsh criminal sentence. Many people just expect that things will work out if they don't think they did anything wrong. However, you shouldn't take any chances when it comes to risking your freedom, your family and your future. Experienced violent crime defense attorneys will fight to keep you out of jail and keep your record clean.
Violent Criminal Offenses
Many acts can be considered violent crimes. These include misdemeanor offenses and felony crimes. Minor offenses may result in probation with no jail sentence.
In the most extreme cases, however, an individual can face the death penalty if convicted of a violent crime. Violent crimes include:
- Assault
- Domestic violence
- Sexual assault
- Murder
- Gang crime
- Weapons offenses
- Kidnapping
Assault And Battery
Some states have different charges for assault and battery. In Arizona, assault generally includes what would be considered battery in other jurisdictions. Under Arizona Revised Statutes 13-1203, "a person commits assault by intentionally, knowingly or recklessly causing any physical injury to another person; or intentionally placing another person in reasonable apprehension of imminent physical injury; or by knowingly touching another person with the intent to injure, insult or provoke such person."
This means that a simple shove or teasing gesture may be enough to get arrested on assault charges. To be convicted, the assault does not even require the victim to be physically touched. A threatening motion that puts the victim in fear of being injured may be enough to be considered an assault. This type of assault is a misdemeanor and could result in jail time and a criminal record.
Aggravated assault is a more serious offense. Aggravated assault includes assault in which the victim is seriously injured, the defendant uses a dangerous weapon, the assault takes place in someone's home or the victim is a minor under the age of 15. It can also be considered aggravated assault to assault a peace officer, firefighter, teacher, health care practitioner, prosecutor, public defender or code enforcement officer. Aggravated assault can be charged as a felony and can include a prison sentence of up to 15 years.
If charged with assault or aggravated assault, you may have several defenses available. Self-defense or defense of others can be a defense, depending on the situation. Additionally, many allegations of assault include cases of mistaken identity. Witnesses may point to the wrong person, and the police are quick to arrest first and ask questions later.
If you have been charged with assault or aggravated assault, you should talk to an experienced criminal defense attorney who understands the penalties you are facing, will pursue all possible defenses and fight to keep you out of jail.
Domestic Violence
Domestic violence is a serious offense in Arizona, with stiff penalties. A conviction for domestic violence can result in jail time and limitations on where defendants can go and what they can do.
Most domestic violence charges for first-time offenses are treated as misdemeanors. If domestic violence resulted in serious injury or a dangerous weapon was involved, however, it can be treated as a felony offense. A domestic relationship does not involve only couples.
Many relationships fall under the term 'domestic relationship' in domestic violence cases. This includes individuals connected through:
- Marriage or former marriage
- Residence in the same household
- Having a child in common
- Blood relatives
- Relatives through marriage
- Current or previous romantic or sexual relationships
If police officers have probable cause to believe that domestic violence has been committed, they can arrest the person believed to have committed the offense. They can also seize any firearm on the property. The police can also conduct a child welfare check if a minor is present. Certain factors can be considered in sentencing someone for domestic violence, including whether the victim was pregnant.
Self-defense or defense of others can be a defense to domestic violence charges. Sometimes, people fabricate claims of domestic violence. Too many domestic violence cases involve false allegations. When relationships go sour, emotions can run high. Frustrated and angry, some people falsely accuse former partners of abuse, just to keep them away. False allegations of domestic abuse can ruin lives. If you have been charged with domestic violence, you should talk to an experienced criminal defense attorney who understands the penalties involved and will fight to keep you out of jail.
Sexual Assault
Sexual assault can be considered a violent crime and has serious, lifelong consequences if the defendant is classified as a sex offender. Any sexual intercourse or oral sexual contact without consent is considered sexual assault. However, sexual assault that involves the infliction of serious physical injury is a more serious charge. A conviction for sexual assault involving injury can result in life imprisonment. Sexual assault on a minor or subsequent sexual assault convictions can result in increased penalties.
In some cases, sexual assault can result in sex offender status for the defendant. After a defendant serves his or her prison sentence, he or she may be required to register as a sex offender for life. This includes reporting to the local sheriff on a regular basis and informing the state any time the offender moves or leave the state. Offenders may be restricted on where they can live and what kinds of jobs they can take. They may also have their pictures, addresses, descriptions and criminal offenses listed on the publicly searchable sex offender registry website.
Murder and manslaughter are considered among the most serious violent criminal offenses. Even if an individual did not mean to kill another person, he or she may be charged with murder or manslaughter. In Arizona, cases involving the death of another are generally charged as manslaughter or murder.
Under Arizona Revised Statutes 13-1103, "a person commits manslaughter by recklessly causing the death of another person." A conviction for manslaughter can result in a prison sentence between seven and 21 years. However, the sentence can be increased if the individual has a criminal record.
Second-degree murder can involve a sudden quarrel or occur in the heat of passion or following provocation by the victim. Recklessly causing the death of an unborn child by any physical injury to the mother is also classified as manslaughter. "Intentionally providing the physical means that another person uses to commit suicide, with the knowledge that the person intends to commit suicide" can also be classified as manslaughter.
Murder is a serious violent criminal charge in Arizona. Murder carries a possible penalty of life in prison without parole or the death penalty. Murder is charged as murder in the first degree or murder in the second degree. The specific charge depends on the circumstances surrounding the death.
Under Arizona Revised Statutes 13-1104, "a person commits second degree murder if, without premeditation, the person intentionally causes the death of another person, including an unborn child." Second-degree murder also includes doing something that the defendant knows will cause death or serious physical injury, which causes the death of another person.
So-called "depraved heart" murder can also be charged as murder in the second degree. Under circumstances manifesting extreme indifference to human life, when a person "recklessly engages in conduct that creates a grave risk of death and thereby causes the death of another person," the defendant may be charged with second-degree murder.
First-degree murder is a capital offense in Arizona. This means it is punishable by the death penalty. Under Arizona Revised Statutes 13-1105, "a person commits first degree murder if, "intending or knowing that the person's conduct will cause death, the person causes the death of another person, including an unborn child, with premeditation."
When certain felony offenses result in the death of another, the death can lead to a first-degree murder charge. This includes sexual assault, child molestation, terrorism, drive-by shootings, kidnapping, burglary, arson, robbery, child abuse and even certain drug offenses.
As with all violent criminal charges, the defendant may have several legal defenses available. Self-defense or defense of others can be a defense to murder or manslaughter. Other defenses may also be available, depending on the specific facts and circumstances of your case. If you have been charged with murder or manslaughter, you should talk to an experienced criminal defense attorney who will pursue all possible defenses and fight to keep you out of jail.
