Considering Adding Bowflex SelectTech 552 Dumbbells to Your Home Gym? 3 Tips To Help You Buy Right
Are you considering adding a pair of Bowflex SelectTech 552 adjustable dumbbells to your home gym? If so, you
will surely want to get the best deal possible without compromising on the quality of the equipment you choose for
your workout.
When you read through this article to the end, you will learn not only 3 of the top things you must consider if
you want to buy right when purchasing a dumbbell set for home use, but also why adjustable dumbbells are so
popular, and of a source that can help you score a great price on a set. Bowflex com
How To Insure You Are "Buying Right" When Purchasing Dumbbells for Home Use
There are 3 points you must think about if you want to feel confident that you are buying the right equipment
for your home gym, especially when it comes to dumbbells.
If you've looked around at all, you know that equipping your home gym with dumbbells can be an expensive
venture. Dumbbells are simply not cheap! Too calculate quickly, consider that at about one dollar a pound, just one
pair of 35 pound dumbbells can run 70 or so dollars. If you also consider that you will need dumbbells in a variety
of weight increments to perform the various fitness exercises in your program, it's easy to see that costs can add
up fast.
You must make sure that you do have weights in all of the increments you need for optimal progression through
your program! A standard 3 to 5 pair set is probably not going to do it; if you make too big a jump when increasing
weight, it is likely that your form will suffer, at the very least. The most popular home fitness DVD work out
programs require lots of weights in a variety of sizes for the best workout. If you take your home work out
seriously, at some point you will most likely want to add one of these programs to your arsenal if you haven't
already, so it makes sense to buy compatible products right from the very beginning.
Once you concede that you may need 15 or so (or maybe more!) pairs of dumbbells to reach the fitness level you
want working out at home, you've got to think about how, and where, to store them! Relatively few consumers are
likely to have a separate room in their homes that can be dedicated to fitness equipment. Most will designate a
corner of the den, basement, or bedroom as the "home gym". You'll need for your chosen dumbbells to fit the space
and look good in it at the same time!
So, Why Are Adjustable Sets Like the Bowflex SelectTech 552 Adjustable Dumbbell Set So Popular?
Consumers report in online reviews that adjustable sets satisfy all of the concerns listed above. Depending on
the system chosen, one price may provide up to 15 pairs of dumbbells in weight increments of as little as
two-and-a-half pounds, with the entire system taking up no more space at any time than one pair of the largest size
(52.5 lbs).
And when it comes to Bowflex SelectTech 552 Dumbbells, attention has been paid to the look of the design - not
only are they easy to use and easy to store while taking up very little space in your home, they look good,
Bowflex SelectTech 552 Dumbbells Review
Dial-up/ selectable adjustable dumbbells, like the Bowflex 552 Dumbbells, have an obvious quick-change advantage
over a dumbbell bar (that you load with plates) and take up less space than a fixed set of dumbbells. Price-wise
they fall between the two. Unlike the advertising material associated with this type of interchangeable dumbbell,
I'm not going to blurt on further about the benefits of choosing an adjustable dumbbell for home gym training, as
the advantages are clear, instead, I'll discuss why I personally rate the SelectTech 552 Dumbbells as being the
sensible choice.
There's now many brands offering an adjustable dumbbell of this ilk, examples include PowerBlock, TurboBell,
Gold's Gym Transformer, York Fitness Dial Tech. All of the aforementioned have a sales tag-line of some kind or
another for you to buy their product over their competitors. PowerBlock's marketers often use "original",
"ergonomically designed" and "best" amongst their sales pitch, whereas Gold's Gym can promote their product as
being cheaper than their rivals. Having used them all, I can categorically say without biased that the Bowflex
SelectTech 552 Dumbbells offering is the best! The reason, it's quicker to use/ adjust than the "original" and
"best" options and the adjustment is not prone to "stick", as I've experienced on the cheaper copies. The Bowflex
SelectTech 552's are also comfortable in the palm and are not too cumbersome in size for use during a gym workout.
Also of note, they offer the best incremental range of those available and appear to age better (show less signs of
wear), compared to cheaper alternatives.
You may have noticed that Bowflex offer a larger adjustable dumbbell - the SelectTech 1090's (10lb to 90lb
adjustment per dumbbell). Although they've existed for a few years now, the 1090 dumbbells were in production for a
couple of years prior, most likely the concern over the size a major contributing issue. The Bowflex SelectTech
1090 Dumbbells are a success for the heavier home lifter, benefiting from the build quality and comfort of the
smaller 552 dumbbells, however, the 1090 dumbbells are not a dumbbell set for couples. Most women will find the
shaft (just shy of 18" long) a bit awkward for some gym exercises, plus the smaller increment settings of the 552
dumbbells are one of the reasons they're favored over other adjustable dumbbells. If you're a heavier home lifter
and you can afford it, you'd love having the two pairs (552's and 1090's). If it's an "either/ or" choice you're
making, I'd choose the smaller 552's in preference and incorporate more barbell work for your heavier exercises/
lifts, if required. Bowflex com

It gives me great pleasure to invite you to attend the
upcoming concerts being presented by AYO.
Looking back to the last concert…
Listening to a complex musical composition such as a symphony or concerto for th e first time is like embarking on a journey into unknown territory. There will be constant surprises around each corner and perhaps sudden moments of beauty which will be all the more vivid because unexpected and unanticipated. There may also be times where it is difficult to know at what point on the journey you have reached and how much further you will have to travel. It is not until you have reached the end that you will have any sense of how the landscape you have observed fits into the journey as a whole.
When you make the journey a second time your perception is very different, and the things that struck you the first time will begin to feel familiar. The downside of this familiarity is that as you feel more relaxed it is not necessary to concentrate so intently, as you know what is about to happen at any moment. For example, events which may have originally caused a sudden shock will no longer do so. This explains why a painting or musical composition which initially caused shock and outrage when first exhibited or performed can eventually be accepted and even loved. The danger is of course that over familiarity can destroy the very quality which makes a work popular, and result in it being perceived as hackneyed, even its beauty no longer appreciated.
The art of musical interpretation is to perform even the most popular work in a way which makes it seem fresh and new no matter how often the listener may have heard it. This is why live performances are so essential to our musical heritage. One has only to listen to historical recordings of famous works and performers to realise what a constantly evolving and changing thing musical performance is. The constant endeavour is to recreate the work and realise the composer's intentions, thoughts and feelings so that they are communicated in a valid way to the audience.
At the concert on Sunday the 11th March, in the intimate setting of Baradene College, Antun Poljanich and the AYO with their performance of Schubert's Unfinished Symphony achieved all that and more. The tragedy and depth of feeling, the intense lyricism and the sheer beauty of the work was revealed in one of the most musically accomplished performances of this symphony that I have ever heard. It was an interpretation of the highest level, and incredibly moving, leaving me and my two companions almost in tears at the end.
The other works on the programme were also beautifully played. Anna Cooper, the soloist in Nielsen's flute concerto, was in complete command of this difficult work, as was the orchestra, bringing out all the wit and humour as well the moments of lyrical beauty which delight in this intriguing composition. The soloist was joined brilliantly in dialogues with the woodwind and brass, in particular the bass trombone.
In the Peer Gynt Suite by Grieg, which began the concert, I was impressed by the subtle nuances of the muted strings in 'The Death of Aase.' The tender pianissimo playing in this movement was exceptionally fine.
Our forthcoming concerts…
The next programme of the season includes Grieg's ever popular piano concerto. This is a work which is often unfairly put in the hackneyed category. I have no doubt that the performance we will hear will be anything but. The freshness that our young musicians bring to their performances is inherent in the fact that most of them are in fact playing the music for the first time.
The soloist in the Grieg will be the young pianist Sara Lee, who won first prize in the University of Auckland 2017 Graduation Gala Concerto Competition and was a semi-finalist in the 2017 Wallace National Piano Competition.
The other works on the programme will be Wagner's stirring overture to 'Rienzi' and Elgar's famous 'Enigma Variations' which include of course the wonderful 'Nimrod', so synonymous with the spirit of England, and which is featured every year in the Last Night of the Proms.
AYO Competitions
From the early days of AYO, or the Auckland Junior Symphony Orchestra as it was originally called, it was quite usual for especially gifted young musicians to be given an opportunity to play a concerto with the orchestra, but in 2011 the AYO Soloists Competition was formally set up, not only to help choose a soloist for one of the next season's concerts, but also to stimulate and encourage younger players by introducing a category for Under 18s and a section for shorter pieces which have an orchestral accompaniment, called the Gem section. The standard reached by the competitors has been very high right from the start, and I feel that we need to encourage more people to attend the Finals on the 30th September, 7pm at Baradene College, where they will hear finalists from each section. Baradene is a really lovely venue, with excellent acoustics, and if you would like to hear just how much talent there is in the orchestra do come along and lend your support to the competitors. Playing to a sympathetic audience is, for the players, a valuable experience in itself. Entrance is by donation.
AYO has, over the years, also tried to provide opportunities for young composers. This year we have decided to hold a Composition Competition for composers who are contemporaries of the players. Details have yet to be announced, but it will be restricted to composers under 25 years of age, from anywhere in New Zealand. They will be asked to submit a short orchestral work of about 7 minutes in length which will be included in one of the AYO's main concerts. The winning piece will be fully rehearsed by the orchestra, with opportunities for the composer to attend rehearsals and gain feedback by workshopping the piece. The aim is for the young composer's work to be heard by a discriminating audience, and for the members of AYO to play new music created by their own generation. We will be actively looking for a sponsor for this exciting project, but even without such an incentive we hope that the chance of having a work performed by AYO will in itself be an attractive prospect for any young composer.
Invitation to Subscribe or Support
Existing Subscribers and Supporters have just received their invitations to renew their financial support of AYO for 2018 and I would like to extend this invitation to all recipients of this newsletter.

Five miles isn't a particularly common race distance in the north-east as far as I can tell, there only seems to be a handful scattered through the race calendar in amongst the more common 5ks, 10ks and half marathons. Perhaps it was this uncommon distance, perhaps being in the middle of the spring marathon season (Paris, Manchester, London etc), or perhaps everyone had rusted up in the biblically damp lead-up to the race. Whatever the reason, it was a relatively small but hard-core Striders contingent of eleven that went out to play.
I scrounged a lift from Jonathan Hamill and his enthusiastic support team in a bid to cut down on carbon emissions. It was an easy journey and not just because I wasn't driving. We arrived nice and early (just after 9 am), which meant no parking problems. After visiting the boat (not THE boat, sadly – that might have been a little more impressive!) to collect race number (with timing chip) and race t-shirt (sizing's generous, so I went down a size), we made full use of the nearby McDonalds. Food for the support team, toilets for the athletes. We weren't the only ones doing it! Other facilities are available.
The weather was starting to warm up from the extended winter we had been "enjoying". Despite being fine and the sun attempting to break through there was still a chill in the southerly breeze. In the end, I opted to leave a light base layer under my club vest, big wuss that I am.
We warmed-up along Maritime Avenue, where the race would start and finish. By the time we got back to the start the rest of the racers had formed up in the start funnel, so we joined near the back. I was realistic about my likely finish position i.e. nowhere near the front, and the race was chip-timed, so I didn't see the harm in starting near the back.
The course is essentially flat. It sets out next to the marina following Maritime Avenue through a housing estate before turning up a short incline through a car park and onto the promenade. It is an out and back course so once you've reached the turn you know what to expect on the way back. You also get to see the leaders on their return (or the chasers if you're in the lead). As we met them coming back I counted the places and made Stephen Jackson 9th as we passed and it wasn't long before I saw Chris Callan and some of our other faster runners on their return, giving me a chance to cheer them on.
I've been working my way back from some recent illnesses so I had set an easy expectation on myself – no PB to beat, no pressure. My plan was to set out at 8-minute mile pace, which I thought I could hold all the way through. I would see how I was feeling at 2 miles and then the turn (2.5 miles) and pick up the pace a little if I was feeling OK.
And I kind of stuck to that plan. Kind of. I held 8-minute mile pace for nearly 2 miles but seeing the leaders gave me a burst of adrenaline and my pace picked up before I realised what was happening. It felt OK and sustainable, so I kept at it, keeping around 7:40 pace most of the way back along the promenade. I was picking off other runners all the way back and this was the other advantage of starting from the back and running negative splits, it gave me natural targets to aim for. The route was plenty wide enough to allow easy passing all the way.
Getting to the last 600m or so I dropped back through the car park onto Maritime Avenue and the slight downward slope gave me the impetus to start pushing for the finish.
I've always had a finishing kick (a legacy of being a failed sprinter) so really wound it up in the final stretch, earning me a shout out from the tannoy announcer.
Stephen was first male Strider home (8th overall in 26:23) and Fiona Jones was first female (20th woman in 35:26 gun time). There were some other excellent times from Striders, including both Chris Callan and Michael Littlewood coming in under 30 minutes (sub 6-minute mile average). In total there were 493 runners with times ranging from a blistering 24:16 (new CR from Dominic Shaw of New Marske Harriers) to just over 1:07.
I loved this race. It was a great course, inexpensive and accessible. It's a good opportunity to run this less common distance and a real PB opportunity.

Formation and administration of Inter Vivos Trusts, Testamentary Trusts, Special Trusts and other Trusts
There are many benefits to an Inter Vivos Trust, including asset protection and preservation, continuity, making provision for specific family needs, and tax efficiency. It is important that a Trust is not motivated by the desire to minimise tax, but rather to integrate it into a holistic well-structured estate plan. The devolved ownership, flexible constructions and protection of beneficiaries make Trusts an ideal solution to a range of complex and corporate situations.
Sentinel offers a range of solutions to these challenges – and creates the opportunities to meet our clients' individual objectives, providing stability for the present and protection for the future. From first contact, we examine each client's current requirements and future aspirations, and analyse already existing structures.
From tax and estate planning for private clients to specific Trusts such as Special Trusts, Charitable Trusts and BEE Trusts, Sentinel's expertise guarantees that aspirations are realised and benefits maximised for all our clients.
Trust accounting and taxation
Sentinel is able to complete the annual financial statements and tax return of trusts. We specialize in trusts and therefore our accountants fully comprehend the attribution rules as well as distributions to beneficiaries, thereby minimizing taxation in the trust. Trust tax returns and the tax returns of the beneficiaries are synchronized to ensure maximum tax efficiency.
We take the time to understand each client's personal requirements and offer a full range of Trust formations, including:
- Inter Vivos Trusts ('Living' Trusts)
- Testamentary Trusts
- Special Trusts
- Charitable Trusts
- Trading Trusts
- BEE Trusts
- Educational Trusts
Trusts offer many solutions for personal and corporate efficiency, such as:
- Asset Protection
- Succession Planning
- Creditor Protection
- Family Provision
- Tax Planning
Acting as the professional, independent trustee
We take the role of an independent trustee very seriously as it is one of great responsibility and which, if not complied with correctly, can have adverse legal, tax and practical consequences for the donor. Our responsibilities for the administration of the Trust would include the following:
- Ensuring that the trust property is adequately insured and funds are properly invested by measuring fund managers performance to approved benchmarks;
- Determining the short, medium and long term income and capital needs of the beneficiaries;
- Ensuring that the provisions of the trust deed are complied with and upheld at all times:
- Ensuring that all the trusts' statutory requirements are complied with;
- The preparation and maintenance of a trust asset register (investments and fixed assets);
- Conducting trustee meetings annually, bi-annually or quarterly, depending on the on the size of the trust and the type and level of investments;
- The recording of the minutes of the trustee meetings and investment decisions;
- The maintenance and safekeeping of the minute book;
- The drafting of special resolutions and making minor changes to the trust deed;
- The drafting of loan agreements;
- Advising on the trust and ensuring that the trust is being utilized as an efficient estate planning tool;
- General tax advice relating to the trust

Yes! Read the title again....psychic pinball, welcome to the 21st century everyone, lets play some video games. The research group, Berlin Brain-Computer Interface (BBCI), demonstrated the results of their hard work by plugging a person's brain waves directly into a pinball machine with a portable EEG hat. In order to control the pinball flippers, the player only needs to think of moving their right hand to move the right flipper and think of moving their left hand to move the left flipper. In the video below, the player looks like he has complete control of the flippers with little or no lag time between his thoughts, and the pinball machine's action.
This has some serious real world applications as it will advance prosthetic technology by leaps and bounds. In all seriousness, we're about to reach the age of cyborgs, one day robotic arms will be more useful then our real ones. Think about it, it's a hot summer day and you need to cool off, "Oh look, my right hand transforms into a fan and my left foot makes the best cherry slushies ever!" Wow, isn't the future great.
While I don't think BBCI's research will be invading our home consoles anytime soon...you can breathe easy Wii Motion Plus, Project Natal, and Sony's Motion Controller, it's cool to think about where this technology can take us. It looks like my prediction of a real life Rock 'em Sock 'em Robot fighting game isn't too far off, so maybe I do have some clairvoyance in me. To see the possible future of video games yourself, check out BBCI's demonstration of a guy going Jean Grey all over a pinball machine.

Found this hidden gem through Facebook ad!! Replaced my 2018 Murano headlights that should have came with Led from the factory. Anyways, replaced the hot yellow OEM bulbs with these nice white led. Wish it allows me to post the pictures here. It's a pretty easy DIY in less than 10 minutes.
Used them for the trunk, driving lights, puddle lights (bottom of doors), and reverse lights in our 2016 Subaru Outback and 2017 Subaru Crosstrek. These are SUPER bright, and after about three weeks are holding up well!
I have had this in my car for a while and I can fully say that I'm impressed. It was extremely simple to install and has been performing flawlessly. When I first set it all up, I turned on my car and nothing happened, I tried the remote and it still didn't do anything. I then contacted the seller for a return. Ended up realized that I have to click the red button on the cigarette plug to turn it on and it worked! Thank you for the quick response Holdcy!!
It's very bright, and works great. But it needs a little modification to fit in the housing tho
These are the best quality led bulbs I have ever used!! Unlike other cheap made-in-China plastic bulbs, these are high-quality metal built. No error message on my Mercedes. It's too bright for interior, but it works well as back-up lights

Sorting waste in the city (EN)
Thursday 10 October 2019
Agency for Waste Management
Did you know that Oslo has the world's largest optical sorting facility that sorts your waste?
At the waste plant's open day you will learn more about the sorting machine, as well as source separation, recovery, and waste management. You will also get a guided tour of the sorting plant where the green and blue bags are sorted.
There are two guided tours this day. You need to register to assure access to the tour.
The first tour is from 14:00-16:00. Register via this link.
The second tour is from 17:00-19:00. Register via this link.
The open day is basically for everyone, although a lower age limit of five years will be in force. The presentation is for everyone, but unfortunately the guided tour is not suitable for wheelchair users. 30 places are available per guided tour.

 I fancy that you are, or were, correct. For personal, and professional reasons, I have NEVER been on facebook, but last year was able to view the members list. I noticed a young fellow, who had been more or less "forced" into the brotherhood by one one of the three ruling families in my former ecclesia. He was in before I had left, and was out not long after. Must have been (is) a terrible embarrassment to his family who were (are?) very "strong in the truth".

Glad you've been finding the blog helpful, and I wish you well continuing to chart your own unique course through life (I think it's great to be free of strict belief-based definitions of what's "good" in life and what isn't).

If you're looking to meet more ex-Christadelphians, you may find the Ex-CD Facebook group helpful.
I think it reaches a larger group of people than here (including several of the admins here), and as a private group you might be able to share more details about what you're looking for without the world seeing.

Oh, and if you ever want to share more of your story publicly, feel free to add more comments or contact one of us if you'd like a separate post.Jon Morganhttps://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-463445167640495548.post-89256239736605247592019-01-18T10:02:19.199+00:002019-01-18T10:02:19.199+00:00Hi! I have been reading much of this blog for abo...Hi! I have been reading much of this blog for about a year now. I left the Christadelphian meeting about 10 years ago. I came in from the "outside" at the age of 18. I was a "sister in good standing" for 20 years, even though I a had major problems with the God of the Bible, even as a child... Atheism would have spared me many regrets I now have about "roads not taken" and such. At the age of 40, I am actually charting a course in life, where once I would let "God's will" be done. I became an atheist about a year ago, thanks to Ricky Gervais, Christopher Hitchens and Richard Dawkins articulating the doubts I'd always had.
I have related to many of the articles on this blog. It has given me comfort to know others are out there. I stopped attending meetings because I hated God. After lack of attendance I was threatened to be disfellowshipped via email. No one cared to ask why I left, nor had any earnest concern about me. No one has tried to find the "lost sheep" I remember they always prayed about during the Memorial service. Anyway, the hypocrisy really helped me move on, (albeit hurt) and ultimately lead me from God-hater/questioner, to doubter and now unbeliever. My only problem with this now, is I'm "in isolation" lol, from other ex-christadelphians! I would love to meet another ex-christadelphian. Thanks for keeping this blog going. It has really helped me to know I made the right decision. I know it can do the same for many firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-463445167640495548.post-49704171342829544732019-01-14T11:33:01.539+00:002019-01-14T11:33:01.539+00:00When I got rid of a lot of my CD books last year I...When I got rid of a lot of my CD books last year I came upon one which had been given to someone the year I was born, talking about it being a "most significant year" for Christ's return.

Congrats on clearing out your old Christadelphian books and other materials. I got rid of most of mine a few years back, although I still have a thick Bible around somewhere because it's a very handy size as a monitor stand or paperweight. I have no need of an actual Bible because I can look up verses on the internet should I ever feel the urge.

Getting rid of the physical baggage can be therapeutic as it signals to the brain that the mental baggage can go the same way.

Thanks also for the suggestion of providing material for a younger audience (and people of any age who might be curious about joining the cds). I can see a lot of value in that.

 Firstly, thanks for holding the reins and keeping the blog going, both this one and the dolphins, which always has us falling off our chairs here.
 As a former member who's claim to fame is having being disfellowshipped for writing on this blog, I am aware that sometimes pleasing everybody is just not possible, so, best of luck with that one for this year...

Over the holiday period I had the non too pleasant task of clearing out the final remains of two Christadelphian lives, my own and someone else's, and it brought home to me just how children brought up in the religion come to have their young lives dominated by it, books,awarded and stamped by long dead superintendents, prizes for compliance with the thoughts of the long dead. All now moved to landfill. After a "spat" with Jon Morgan late last year, I was reminded again just how those childhood indoctrinations can rumble on, even long after the victim has, for the most part at least, thrown off their chains. It is a path that my own children were walking down until fate intervened to free them.
 I do at times see things a little from a UK perspective, and you may be aware that things are temporarily a little unsettled here as we renegotiate our trading partnerships with our neighboring countries. Christadelphians (worldwide) have been quick to see "signs" as a results of that, so much so that SOME senior Australian speaking Brethren have taken to delaying the preparation of talks until the last minute on the basis that they believe that Jesus is actually a little late, and was expected back by the end of last year...
 Against this background, since the Christadelphian's "Big Conversation" nearly 4 years ago, little has changed, but in broad terms, 3 meetings a year close, a couple of hundred die, and those brought up in the religion and are baptised, outnumber those from the outside by (about) 8:1, numbering a few tens of people ,the shifting demographic now meaning that around 80% of the 6000 or so members are aged 55+
 My thoughts as to the relevance of this is that there is a small audience for what you have to offer here. The former editor felt that attempting to de-convert people was a waste of time, and I agreed. As a former evangelist myself (not a Christadelphian one I should add) and the brother of a serving Anglican evangelical Minister (one with a Cambridge masters in theology), I am aware of just how "lazy" Christadelphians are at promoting their message outside of the soft target of their own so-called community.
 Mark's comment above brings this home nicely. He KNEW it was hogwash and was a part of that community at a time before the information age made it easier to disprove. Peddling this crap to the wider community is a lost cause and they know it, so they have to concentrate their effort on those who can least defend themselves from it-their own kids.
 So, after that walkabout, and to answer the "what would you like to see more of" question, I would like to see a tight focus on material to assist those most at risk of falling for the scam (as all of us did), to stand up to and reject what they are being taught as "truth", so that they don't waste as much of their lives as we have, since undoubtedly folk between 11 and 18 will be under intense pressure to commit, especially now Christadelphians are preaching that not only is the return imminent, but also that they consider that the master is actually late!
Joseph Stronghttps://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-463445167640495548.post-2011642931197073052018-12-31T19:13:44.260+00:002018-12-31T19:13:44.260+00:00I enjoy reading and sometimes contributing comment...I enjoy reading and sometimes contributing comments to this blog, as I feel it is invaluable to young people who are being indoctrinated but have their doubts about the religion.
As a child at Sunday school, I knew I was being taught a load of hogwash but didn't have access to an alternative viewpoint like this blog provides, and I was unable to articulate my thoughts effectively. It was too easy for parents and speakers to spout pseudo-science and "evidence", whilst it was very difficult to refute their views without spending hours in a library.
Nowadays such nonsense can be checked in seconds and hard facts presented, probably to the dismay of CD parents and youth day speakers.

In her book 'Brain Matters'...Thank you Thom.
In her book 'Brain Matters', Katrina S. Firlik (a neurosurgeon) writes about how she believes traditional religion can lead to a false hope or false comfort starting at an early age. Brain bending (my words). She goes on to say, " . . . many people sell themselves short on life because they expect great things after death. Life is not a dress rehearsal. You have to enjoy it, make the most of it, while your neurons are still buzzing with live connections." She goes on to talk about why people find benefits in affiliating oneself to a religion, welcoming social network, comfort in times of duress, repeated schedule of events which strengthen belief and bring order into one`s own life. "These are very nice benefits" she writes, and continues, "The not-so-hidden downsides,though, can sometimes put a damper on those benefits: dividing humans along religious lines, encouraging war, discouraging marriage between otherwise perfectly compatible individuals, inhibiting free thought, and invoking guilt in those who stray from the flock." She has these thoughts while holding in her hand a human brain: she seems to be saying that a brain can be altered by what we allow to go into it,for good or bad. Our brains control what we do and what we think.
So, to echo Thom, let`s celebrate the magic of life - Now. Have a happy New Year, everyone. email@example.com

Spain has asked the United States to use its talks on taking Cuba off the blacklist of countries sponsoring terrorism to help obtain the extradition of two members of the armed Basque group Eta from the communist country.
The foreign minister, José Manuel García Margallo, said on Monday that the government has been in talks with the US in the hope of getting Cuba to extradite José Ángel Urtiaga and José Ignacio Etxarte to Spain.
They have been wanted since 2010 in an investigation into alleged links between Venezuela, Eta and Colombian rebel group Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia ( Farc).
Cuba's 33-year status on the terrorism list stems from its support decades ago for Eta and Farc.
The list is a major hurdle in US-Cuban negotiations to end a half-century diplomatic freeze.
Margallo said the extraditions have since been made more difficult by the former socialist prime minister, José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero, who last week called on the US to take Cuba off the list immediately and without conditions.
Zapatero's comments in Havana after meeting the Cuban president, Raúl Castro, during a private visit greatly angered the conservative Madrid government.
Margallo said Zapatero had not informed the government of the meeting with Castro and should have contacted the ministry before making such statements.
Urtiaga and Etxarte are believed to have been in Cuba since the mid-1980s. Spain's national court said the two sought permission from Eta to carry out grenade- and mortar-launching tests in Venezuela in cooperation with Farc.
Eta killed some 830 people in a four-decade-long campaign for a Basque homeland. It declared a permanent ceasefire in 2011 but has yet to disband.

Indigenous People's Day
Los Angeles will no longer celebrate Columbus Day because of the city council's belief that Columbus symbolizes "genocide and intolerance of the early America's indigenous people." LA politicians have renamed the holiday, Indigenous People's Day.
Cultures are shaped by the stories they tell of their past and the values those stories highlight. For centuries, we've celebrated Columbus's accidental discovery of a new world, despite his imperfections.
Our culture is shifting. Columbus is now vilified for his mistakes without acknowledging his accomplishments.
In John 8:7 Jesus said, "He who is without sin among you, let him be the first to throw a stone at her."
Columbus had some cultural blind spots, as do we all. But, I believe we need to celebrate our heritage while being mindful of our forefather's imperfections.

You're ticket to summer-dinner-date-night cuteness? Brown eyeliner and a shimmery peach eyeshadow, as seen here on Olivia Palermo.
OK, it might be dark gray eyeliner, I can't tell for sure, but really the key is...
It's not jet black—it's softer than that. But the combo is clean and chic while still hitting on sweet and flirty. A great mix, no?
A couple of peach shades I'm digging right now: Lancome's Persistent Peach and Maybelline's Fierce and Tangy. Got a shade suggestion to add? Leave it in the comments!

Both tax-approved and unapproved share incentive schemes remain very popular ways for employers to recruit, retain and motivate their staff. Where an individual acquires shares in their employing company and pays less than market value for them an income tax charge is likely to arise. Although the award of share options may not have immediate tax consequences, in order to obtain favourable tax treatment the option exercise price must not be set materially below market value.
As a result, it will often be necessary to agree the value of unquoted shares with HMRC in connection with employee incentive arrangements such as share awards or the grant of EMI or other tax-approved options to managers and other staff.
There are different types of unapproved scheme with numerous variations, and often these are intended to allow employees to acquire shares cheaply without incurring an upfront tax charge. They may involve complicated capital rights, growth shares, put options or some form of joint ownership and may also use shares with a miniscule nominal value of less than a penny.
Particularly where an exit is a short or medium term objective, the risk is that HMRC will see much more value in the shares than was anticipated when the scheme was being designed. If so, both employers and employees could find themselves facing a large retrospective tax liability should HMRC consider that the price paid for their shares was below market value when they were acquired.
There is generally less at stake on tax-approved schemes involving unquoted shares, such as CSOP, SAYE or EMI, and these give fewer problems. However, it will usually still be necessary to agree market value with HMRC.
We are able to give reliable valuation advice to assist in a wide variety of employee share incentive situations including the following:
- direct awards of shares to employees
- awards under phantom or virtual share schemes
- tax-approved option schemes such as EMI, CSOP etc.
- performance related share awards and long term incentive plans
- annual valuations for internal share sales or shareholder exits
- IFRS2/FRS20 accounting valuations of equity-based awards
How we can help
We are often asked by the employee benefits departments of law firms on behalf of client companies to assist in the design/pre-implementation phase of a proposed share scheme. Many of these cases involve complex schemes using growth shares or some form of joint ownership between the employee and a third party, such as an employee benefit trust. Our advice in these situations usually focuses on the value likely to be placed on the shares or options by SAV, and in particular whether the draft share rights will achieve the company's valuation aims.
We also work with private companies who approach us directly for advice in connection with the valuation aspects of their employee incentive schemes. Our role depends on the stage the scheme has reached and the client's specific situation. We can assist with:
- preliminary valuation advice before a scheme is put in place which can prevent potentially costly mistakes from being made
- advice on the 'best estimate' of value for operating PAYE following an award of shares
- preparing a formal valuation report to be used should HMRC query the pricing basis on which the awards were made
- negotiations with SAV to agree market value

MTT-S.F. Symphony partnership vibrant after 20 years
The 2014-15 season of the San Francisco Symphony, which begins with the traditional gala concert on Sept. 3, marks Michael Tilson Thomas' 20th year as the orchestra's music director. That's a landmark that is simultaneously admirable and potentially unnerving.
Admirable, because this partnership between orchestra and conductor — who also, coincidentally, turns 70 in December — continues to be an astonishingly fertile and productive one. The level of musicianship on display in Davies Symphony Hall week after week, year after year, remains a marvel, and the unspoken communication between podium and stage only seems to become deeper and more effortless with each passing day.
The MTT era
Moreover, those technical and interpretive resources are lavished on a wide range of repertoire, including the kind of new and American music that is still at best an afterthought for too many of the nation's orchestras. Sure, one can cavil about this decision or that trend in the programming. But by any conceivable reckoning, the MTT era — and why not call these two decades by their rightful name? — has been a highlight of the Symphony's 100-year history.
On the other hand, any careful observer of the orchestral world understands that a music directorship as long as this one is turning out to be should be seen as a potential danger. The musical scene is littered with cautionary tales — Seiji Ozawa's nearly 30-year tenure with the Boston Symphony Orchestra is the most recent and obvious — about what can happen to an orchestra that spends too long under the same baton.
Along with all the benefits that come with long collaboration — including technical fluency and a distinctive orchestral sound — you can also get complacency, stagnation and predictability. Sometimes, as with Eugene Ormandy's famous stint of nearly half a century at the helm of the Philadelphia Orchestra, you see both tendencies side by side.
Ongoing leadership
Yet perhaps the most remarkable aspect of Thomas' ongoing leadership in San Francisco is how remote those prospects seem, even for an observer keeping a keen eye out for the danger signs. My rational side keeps expecting to find Thomas and the Symphony slipping into some kind of routine, treading interpretive paths that have become well worn and familiar over the decades.
But it just isn't so. To walk into Davies on any given evening remains as vivid and unpredictable an artistic adventure in 2014 as it was in 1995, when Thomas' podium mannerisms and musical interests were still relatively novel to local audiences.
Thomas keeps bringing out new and offbeat repertoire (although admittedly the coming season, which is heavily saturated with Beethoven, may not be the most opportune moment to make that argument). Every year when he announces a new season, he also tends to diverge into the various pieces or projects he'd hoped to get to but didn't; 20 years clearly haven't been enough to make more than a biggish dent in the catalog of music he has at his disposal.
And even the standard repertoire, to which Thomas has been returning with increasing frequency in recent years, tends to take on a notable vitality and freshness under his baton — not always, of course, but in his best and most characteristic performances. It's rare to hear him conduct an orchestral warhorse and think, "Oh, sure, this again." There's always too much going on that's just a bit different from what you've heard before, even from this orchestra and this conductor.
Nor is it Thomas alone who brings that sense to the stage of Davies. With each new year, through the processes of hiring new musicians and inculcating the old ones with his priorities, he's managed to get the orchestra ever more in tune with his ideals of spontaneity and interpretive freedom.
More than ever, this is now an orchestra whose members play with the fluidity and quick responsiveness of a close-knit jazz ensemble — listening to one another, picking up ideas from the other side of the stage and running with them in new directions. It's not just out of abstract principle that the Symphony's recordings are made in concert; it's because that's the only way to truly capture what the orchestra is doing best.
In the end, it's that quality of spontaneity — that exciting insistence on crafting each performance to be something irreplaceably unique — that has done more than anything to shape this chapter in the orchestra's history. And it helps explain why 20 years, which for any other conductor would be an unmistakable overstay, can sometimes seem like just the beginning of a long and exciting process.

speech resonance, nasalance, syllable repetition, speech-language pathology, nasometry, cleft palate, reliability
Objective: To evaluate the difference between nasalance measured using overall nasalance for the full set of syllable repetitions in a speech sample contrasted with syllable repetitions selected (trimmed) from the overall sample.
Method: Participants included 24 males and 34 females between 18 and 30 years of age who participated in a normative study of nasalance in Michigan's lower peninsula. Participants produced 14 syllable stimuli. Each syllable sequence was repeated at least 8 times. Three trials of each repetition were recorded together with other speech stimuli. Overall nasalance was calculated for each syllable repetition sequence (whole) and compared with the mean nasalance across 5 selected (trimmed) syllables. Syllable selection was conducted using MATLAB (Mathworks, 2011) to identify syllable onset and to select syllables 2-6 in the repetition sequence.
Results: Analyses indicate that the mean difference between overall and trimmed nasalance was centered around 0 with a broad variance distribution and a range of EDITEDIT. A multilevel multivariable regression (X2(3, N=2110) = 32.79, p<0.0005) associated with mean differences include consonant manner class (stops, sibilants, nasals) and vowel (/i/ versus /a/) with significant differences observed for oral consonants, but not nasal consonants.
Conclusion: Nasalance measures are statistically different when overall sample is compared with selected syllables. In most cases, differences are small and thus not clinically significant. In a few cases, however, differences were substantial and could yield clinically relevant differences. Further research is needed to define clinical significance and to explore best trimming practices.

New iPhones support certain NFC transactions even when iOS is not running
The iPhone XS, XS Max and XR support certain NFC card transactions even when iOS is not running and the host device is powered because it needs to be charged.
The specs for the iPhone XS list "Express Cards with power reserve" under all models. Apple's recently published iOS security guide update provides more detail.
"If iOS isn't running because iPhone needs to be charged, there may still be enough power in the battery to support Express Card transactions. Supported iPhone devices automatically support this feature with a transit card designated as the Express Transit card [and] student ID cards with Express Mode turned on."
In addition, the security guide notes that in iOS 12, pressing the side button will show text indicating both the low battery icon and text showing that Express Cards may be used.
"The NFC controller performs express card transactions under the same conditions as when iOS is running, except that transactions are indicated with only haptic notification," the paper continues.
Notably, users are only able to access power reserve functionality under low power conditions, meaning the feature is unavailable following a standard hardware shutdown.
Apple, which originally listed the "Express Cards with power reserve" as available in a few countries, has now added that language to its spec pages worldwide. It is now known, according to a report by AtaDistance, that Apple Pay Express Transit Cards will work with power reserve in Japan and China, although it's unclear if they will work elsewhere.
The new capability is sure to be a boon for holders of transit cards and student IDs issued by participating educational institutions. Express Cards with power reserve brings a key physical NFC card feature — no power operation — to iPhone, meaning users no longer have to worry about keeping their device powered up to catch a ride, enter student housing or perform other NFC-based transactions.

The content is all missing for my home page and the menu is all screwed up. Your instructions said i wouldn't lose my content. Why does the download overwrite on top of existing pages. Most of the demo pages don't seem to work either.
Downloaded Ethos theme 1 and promptly lost my demo home page content
Hey @shellison,
Demo import will not overwrite the pages you created. It sounds like you built on top of a demo page. Demo page/post titles begin with Demo:. Let's say you have imported Integrity 1 demo first. It's page title is Demo: Home and is set as static front page. If you modified that page and then imported another demo, it will get deleted or replaced by another Demo: Home because as stated in our Demo Content article:
To save a demo page, the title must be renamed. Please feel free to tell us if this process got you confused though or you were expecting a different process.
I'm sorry but I'm not sure what exactly is the issue here. Would you mind providing more details and screenshots?
Thanks for your response.
Yes, I guess that is what happened. Not a very user friendly design. The warning I was provided when I went to download another demo was specifically that NO content or pages would be deleted. The warning that should have been provided was that Prior demo pages WOULD be overwritten and they needed first to be renamed to be retained before downloading a new demo. If your system had been well designed, actually, you would have provided each demo with slightly different page names so they don't overwrite others.
I thought the point of all your demos was to be able to try out different themes with a website so people can compare their site. If downloading more than one just overwrites and destroys earlier ones, it kinda makes it meaningless.
Your setup notice above btw is incomprehensible.
As for my second issue, my menu disappeared in the latest demo and was replaced with new tabs that actually weren't in the theme. Having to recreate my menu is a pretty long and tedious step to "trying" out different demos themes. Other issues: the Ethos1 template has the slider on top. When I downloaded the theme, it no longer had that. I had to hunt around to figure out where to turn it on. The News page doesn't have anything in it (not sure where that page came from as it doesn't seem to be in the theme). Also the Portfolio tab is a new one, not in Ethos. Finally it looks like Ethos and many of the templates are based on blog postings but i can't figure out how to set up the pages to enter a new blog entry. There doesn't seem to be a template page for the blog entry that flows to the portfolio, news, or slider pages. I can't seem to find any good step-by-step instructions for using these templates either.
I use Cornerstone specifically because I am far from being an expert in wordpress and html. I would guess that most of your customers are like me, reasonably technical but not programmers. You need to create your program so that it is more user friendly for less technical people adn provide more step-by-step instructions.
Hi there,
Thank you for your comment and we will communicate with our development team regarding the messaging of the demo content regarding this case scenario.
Please kindly consider that the Demo content is not meant to be added to each other, this will really have negative effects during the course of time. I strongly suggest that you do not add multiple demo content in one installation. If you want to only test the stuff then you can import a demo and test but you can not decide to have another demo in the middle of the project and after the changes you had. Always reset the WordPress installation with a plugin like this one and test for another demo.
Now in this case you need to do the same. If you do not want to lose your changes and content I suggest that you install another WordPress and test the demo there. You can always have up to 2 installations validated with one purchase key. You can add 2 addresses to the Production and Staging section of your Themeco Dashboard Licenses page.
Then you can validate the second one and import the demo for your testing purposes.
Now, to have all the Post and Portfolio sections in question please install a fresh WordPress and then import the demo.
Also please read about portfolios and other aspects of the product here in our KB:
Thank you.

RV Battery State of Charge
What is State of Charge ('SOC')?
It is not easy to check RV battery charge, yet get this wrong and good batteries are scrapped and bad ones retained.
The main problem is with deep cycle lead acid batteries – where electrical energy is stored as an electro-chemical reaction between a few thick lead plates and water/acid electrolyte. Following fast charging, or supplying a heavy load (e.g. a microwave oven) the reaction takes a day or more for voltage to equalise. (It is like roasting a large turkey, the outside may be hot, but the inside almost cold).
Likewise, measuring the voltage of such batteries after charging or discharging gives no idea of its condition. A microwave oven may reduce the charge within and around the plates to 10 volts, yet ample charge is still available once the electrolyte (that in effect holds the charge) has equalised (over time). Instantaneous voltage measurement, however, shows a perfectly sound battery as useless.
An almost worn-out battery only barely accepts charge. Voltage measurement here shows the battery charger's voltage (high because the battery cannot accept it).
As a direct result, owners reject perfectly good batteries, yet retain those worn out.
Battery voltage measurement is fine, but (for deep cycle lead acid units) only after 24 hours totally off-load. This table shows the then typical relationship between voltage and remaining charge for a lead acid battery in good condition.
AGM Batteries
The above is far less so for AGM batteries. These too have some time lag - but a voltage measurement is a reasonable indication of state of charge after 15-30 minutes.
LiFePo4 Batteries
LiFePo4 (12 volt) batteries in typical RV use vary from about 13.1 to 12.9 volts when between 95% and 20% charge. It is this close to impossible to gain even a rough idea from voltage measurement. It is done much as we keep check of our bank balance. Measure what comes in and keep check of what goes out. Deduct the equivalent of the bank's fee for storing it. The result is what you have now.
Starter batteries have many but thinner plates, enabling them to accept and supply high currents and to recharge rapidly. Much the same applies to AGM batteries. With both, a voltage reading will be meaningful after the battery has rested for an hour or totally off-load.
Lithium-ion batteries (LifePo4)
Lithium-ion batteries present a problem of very different nature. The LiFePO4 versions used in RVs maintain 13.1-12.9 volts regardless of any load that an RV is likely to apply across most of their working range. The solution here is energy monitoring.
Energy Monitoring
Energy monitoring (Coulomb counting) is the only reliable way of knowing a battery's state of charge. It is not 100% but good enough for RV purposes. It works much as you track money. Count what comes in, deduct that going out (and the bank's charge for storing that remaining), that left is what you have.
Energy monitors rely on a current flow signal using a device called a current shunt that sends the data to the remotely located monitor. (These units, and their installation are also covered in detail in our book Caravan & Motorhome Electrics)
Most dc-dc alternator chargers and many solar regulators have energy monitoring inbuilt. They are programmable for battery type, size and voltage. Stand-alone units are also available. Consult the battery supplier for LiFePO4 monitoring.
