Watching your child grow and learn is such a magical experience. To see them trying and accomplishing new things each day is very rewarding. But what happens when you notice them starting to struggle with things you think they should be able to do? When you know they should be able to copy a letter they see or figure out how to tie their shoes? No one wants to think that their child has a learning disorder like dysgraphia or trouble with motor skills.
But learning disabilities, processing disorders, and developmental delays are more common than you may think. It is estimated that around 9.7% of children in the United States are diagnosed with a learning disability and 5% have a sensory processing disorder (in the absence of autism spectrum disorder). Yet there are likely still many more children who are affected by these conditions and never formally diagnosed. Their symptoms may be milder, they've learned to overcome challenges, or they were never evaluated.
Identifying Symptoms of Dysgraphia
When my oldest son was in elementary school, we would practice his weekly spelling words together. He was quick to master spelling them aloud, usually only taking a day or two to learn them. But I noticed that when it came time for the test, he struggled to correctly write the words we had practiced so carefully. He would be missing letters, have incorrect letters, or have written them so illegibly that you couldn't tell what was there.
I attributed this in part to him being left-handed, which meant many fine motor tasks did not come naturally to him. But as he got older, his overall attention, handwriting, and motor planning continued to be problematic. As an occupational therapist, I work with children on handwriting and motor planning, so I knew something was wrong. He started to develop test anxiety because he knew the material when we studied, but when it came to the exam, he wasn't able to effectively communicate his answers in writing.
In time, I realized that he likely had dysgraphia – not to be confused with dyslexia. While around 91% of American adults have heard of dyslexia, two-thirds of them are not familiar with dysgraphia (or dyscalculia or dyspraxia). Both dyslexia and dysgraphia can lead to problems with writing, but dysgraphia is specifically an issue with written expression or the physical act of writing. My son didn't have a problem recognizing letters or words when he saw them or spelling them orally, but he had difficulty organizing his thoughts and actually writing the words correctly. It involves a lot of planning to form each letter, space them evenly, and sequence them in the right order. As he got older, he had trouble putting his thoughts down on paper in a way that made sense even though he could prove he knew the information when asked questions orally.
What I was seeing aligned with many of the common symptoms of dysgraphia, though he was never formally tested and diagnosed:
- Poor spelling
- Poor spatial planning on paper
- Illegible handwriting
- Difficulty communicating clear thoughts in writing
Building Fine Motor Skills and Coordination
Looking back, I know now that he may have benefitted from a structured writing curriculum such as Handwriting Without Tears as he was first learning to form letters and write sentences, as these types of programs reinforce motor planning and proper form. But he engaged in other activities that have since helped him to improve his writing abilities and overcome some of the symptoms of dysgraphia.
For instance, his love of skateboarding, swimming, and snowboarding improved his spatial awareness and helped with postural control. More than a decade of piano and guitar lessons helped as well as he refined his coordination, posture, sequencing, timing, and auditory processing. Since he was doing something he loved, he didn't even realize he was practicing these skills.
As he got older, we talked about the challenges he was having at school and the types of activities he could do to improve his skills. Writing was certainly an area where he struggled most since it requires so much fine motor planning and executive function. Children must not only sequence their movements and have strong visual-perceptual skills, but also have strong working memory to recall letter formation, spacing, punctuation, and ideas for what they want to write. It was important that he understand how his brain and body worked differently from that of people to do these tasks so that he would be on board with activities that could help him be more successful. His drive and motivation definitely played a role in strengthening his areas of need.
Battling Sensory Processing Disorder
In addition to dysgraphia, my son was also learning to manage living with sensory processing disorder (SPD). His brain has a difficult time organizing and making sense of all of the sensory input he receives on a daily basis. For some people, this means lights, sounds, movements, and textures can be overwhelming (or underwhelming). For others, like my son, it presents more as motor skill and body awareness problems. This may have contributed to his sloppy handwriting because it requires hand-eye coordination as well as proper posture and pencil grip.
But it really hit home when he would be doing something most people take for granted like making their bed. This was one of his daily chores. Most kids pull up the sheets, throw the comforter on, fluff their pillows, and they're done. But if the sheets had fallen off the bed, my son would be in tears trying to figure out how to put everything neatly back together. His brain had trouble communicating with his eyes and arms how to coordinate both sides of his body to pick up the sheets and organize them back on the bed. Not to mention the distraction of the noise from the TV in the other room while he was trying to focus on finishing the task at hand. It was very difficult for him to make sense of what was going on and stay focused or plan each step he needed to do to be successful. This is common for children with SPD.
Managing Dysgraphia and Sensory Processing Disorder
When my son began exhibiting these symptoms, I was a young mother, he was my first child, and I was in denial of early signs that he might benefit from formal occupational therapy services. Being an OT, I was able to provide some support at home and work with him on activities that could strengthen and re-wire underdeveloped areas of his brain, but not every child is fortunate to have this type of support.
I realized that there were plenty of children like my son facing challenges every day with tasks others take for granted such as writing or making the bed. These things did not come naturally to him; he had to work very hard at them. And so I was inspired to launch Therapeutic Movements and provide families with a facility where they could not only have their child evaluated for occupational and physical therapy needs, but also sensory integration issues, rehabilitation, dysgraphia, and more. Our team of experts works with families to determine their child's unique needs and create a treatment plan to help them reach their goals, overcome challenges, and build independence.
My son has learned to thrive over the years, but I know that he could have benefitted earlier on from formal OT services. If you are concerned about your child's development or performance, reach out to Therapeutic Movements for more information and to schedule an evaluation.

Step by step
- Get your body into a good starting position. Hold your body upright and shoulders relaxed.
- Your arms should drive and pump while being held in a bent (right angled) position.
- Sprint forward keeping low to start with, and your stride length short to generate power to accelerate.
- Sprint to the end of the track as fast as you can.
- Turn around and repeat.
Sets and reps
3-5 lengths
Rest 30 secs to 1 min
Repeat 2-3 times
– Short quick strides will produce a faster running time.
– Add a bit of competition – time yourself and push hard to get faster and faster.
– Mix this exercise with leg and torso and plyometric exercises as acceleration needs strength, power and good, stable joints.
Increases heart rate = healthy heart, fat burning
Strengthens legs = good coordination and balance
Strengthens core muscles = good posture, safe lifting
Want more of a challenge?
– Add in a section of deceleration: sprint forward for 8-10 metres, slow down, run backwards for a couple of strides, then sprint forwards again.
– Start by holding a press-up position, then push and rise into a sprint as quickly as possible.
– Increase the intensity: carry some extra weights for example.

An Overview on the Shipbuilding Market in Current Period and Forecast
The work presents the evolution of the shipbuilding market for the period 2002-2017 and the forecast for the period 2018-2035. Following the dynamics of the shipbuilding market in the period under review, in close connection with the world economic growth, the authors highlight the differences in the pre-crisis period of 2008 and beyond. The study provides information on the evolution of the order book, new orders and deliveries pre-and post-crisis, from which resulting their downward in the post-crisis period, especially for the standard ships that face a surplus of ships. The forecast by SEA Europe and other major shipbuilding associations for the period 2018-2035 shows that the ship demand will be rising, although at a relatively low rate. Analyzing the world market shares by country/region for the 2014-2017 period, it result that the Asian countries dominated the standard ship market, while the European shipyards have specialized in high-value vessels.

"While you're refining your estate planning to live through your senior years, don't forget about, uh, the end of it all."
For most folks, postponing thinking about their funeral is the status quo, until someone close to them dies or until they have a health scare. Worse, according to The North Platte Telegraph's article, "Sunday Focus: Don't wait to make a plan until it's too late," they don't address their demise at all, putting friends and family members in the position to have to guess what they would have wanted.
If you pre-plan your funeral, your family and loved ones are spared the unpleasant guessing game. Did she want a fancy casket? What suit would he have selected to be buried in? Or did she wish to be cremated?
If you pre-plan your funeral, you can also lock in costs for the services that morticians and cemeteries provide. If you are married or have a partner, you should go together and try to get as many of the hard decisions made in advance. This will also help you get comfortable with having this discussion.
Some mortuaries have online tools you can use to compile your information in advance, plan your funeral and compare costs. Even if you don't pre-pay, at the very least you can pre-plan.
Some families purchase plots, so they can be assured of being buried near each other.
The cost of inflation of funeral expenses has averaged about 4% for many years. People bought CDs (Certificates of Deposit) specifically for funeral expenses in the past. However, as interest rates dropped, they stopped being a useful planning tool.
Funeral insurance can be portable. Therefore, if the funeral home that sells you a funeral insurance plan goes out of business, the policy is still yours. If you move to a new home, the policy—along with your directions for your funeral—can be transferred to another funeral home.
The increasing acceptance of cremation may make funerals less expensive, but there are still costs that are involved. Some family members may not like the idea of a loved one being cremated. That's why it's very important to convey your wishes to the family, so there is no conflict.
Since fewer people are affiliated with houses of worship, the funeral home has taken a larger role in planning funeral services.
Prepare in advance for your funeral and complete your estate planning with a Cincinnati estate planning attorney. Taking care of both will increase the chances that your wishes will be followed. Leaving them to your family to decide and manage the costs after you pass, will add to the stress they experience while grieving for you.
Remember: "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure." When making your estate plan or when probating an estate or administering a trust, do not go it alone. Be sure to engage a Cincinnati estate planning attorney.

Old crayons are getting a new purpose thanks to one dad and his colorful organization.
The Crayon Initiative, a nonprofit based in Danville, California, collects old crayons and recycles them to make fresh batches, which it then donates to kids in hospitals. The organization, which was founded by Bryan Ware, sent out its first boxes of crayons early this year and since then, about 2,000 boxes have been donated, he told The Huffington Post.
In addition to reducing waste, Ware says that the crayons are meant to provide the kids with some comfort.
"From my perspective, the biggest goal is to give them an escape," Ware said, according to The Mighty. "I can't even fathom what these kids are going through. If these crayons give them an escape from that hospital room for 10 minutes, we did our job."
The father told HuffPost that the initial idea sprouted from the his own curiosity during a dinner at a restaurant he had a few years ago. Ware, whose kids were coloring with crayons, asked the waitress about what happened to the creative utensils after the meal. When he learned that they'd just be thrown out, he began thinking about how to repurpose them.
Ware told HuffPost that the organization now receives old crayons from restaurants, schools and other donors. To make the fresh crayons, the old ones are first sorted by color. Afterwards, the utensils are melted down and molded right in Ware's own kitchen.
The initiative's crayons don't look like your traditional crayon. But Ware explains that they're uniquely designed for a reason.
"We worked with an occupational therapist to design the crayons so they are easy for children to hold and so they won't roll off of beds or trays," Ware told ABC7. "We do not wrap them in paper which can hold bacteria and we've had them tested to make sure bacteria from incoming crayons was killed during our processing."
The crayons have made their way to kids at institutions including UCSF Benioff Children's Hospital, Mattel Children's Hospital UCLA and Cedars-Sinai in Los Angeles.
The children, Ware told HuffPost, light up when they see the new crayons. He said that the utensils help give the kids a fun outlet while they're overcoming their own challenges.
"It may be a brief amount of time, but [it's] something outside their current situation," Ware, who is a big art lover, told ABC7. "For that moment, they can be anyone or anywhere they want to be. It is their creativity that lives within them."
The Crayon Initiative has no plans of stopping its colorful journey anytime soon and later this year, it will make the first out-of-state delivery to Elmhurst Hospital in Queens, New York, ABC7 reported.

Releaf Meds is a premium Marijuana dispensary Encinitas. Call us at 760-440-0040.
Situated along six miles of Pacific coastline in northern San Diego County, the city of Encinitas provides a unique combination of sophistication, new-world culture, and old-world charm. Incorporated back in 1986, the city brought about the connection of communities such as Old Encinitas, New Encinitas, Olivenhain, Leucadia, and Cardiff-by-the-Sea, to form a single city which is rich in history and dipped in tradition. With a vast population of 60,000 residents, the City of Encinitas has something to offer everyone.
The city attracts visitors globally through its vibrant down business district, pristine beaches, famous Botanic Garden and rolling hills. You can enjoy the quaint shops, specialty retail stores, historic architecture, sidewalk cafes, and classy restaurants. The city is also mostly known for its excellent surfing conditions and the most beautiful beaches which over the years has drawn in surfers to compete in local tournaments.
A premium Marijuana dispensary Encinitas gives you the advantage to get what you want through a legal setting. Despite countries and states, legalizing marijuana, you can face fines and certain prison time for something you're not allowed to do. Not everyone is allowed to just grow their cannabis legally, and there are heavy penalties for doing so without the proper licensing. When you visit a nearby store with the right aspects to shop, you can discover that they offer a wide array of different products. Some may be medically sanctioned, whereas the others are strictly recreational. The choice on what you want and how to get you relies on you.
The type of dispensary you visit will the judge of what products you can get from it. When you visit a medical one, you will be given access to buy cannabis products prescribed for medical reasons. However, when you visit a recreational one, you'll get access to those products that have recreational use. Usually dispensaries deal with buds, stems, seeds, tinctures, concentrates, salves, edibles, vapes and other related products and equipment.
Dispensaries and cannabis stores give you the option of shopping through countless Cannabis/Marijuana/Weed/CBD and other related products. More than half of U.S. states and the District of Columbia have legalized medical marijuana in some way or another, and more are considering bills to do the same. So based on where you reside, you should begin your hunt for a premium Marijuana dispensary Encinitas.
The United States is home to hundreds of dispensaries which have emerged ever since the legalization of marijuana in certain states and districts. Not all of these dispensaries are legal to market products under medical or recreational settings. Therefore you need to find the perfect premium Marijuana dispensary Encinitas to cater to your needs.
From finding out whether they have the products you require to determining whether their operation is legal, you need to figure these out before you get in contact with them or covey any transactions with them. There is quite the number of dispensary guides these days to help you view menus and prices of dispensaries. Websites such as Weedmaps, PotLocator, Leafly, HighGuide to name a few can be of great help when you are targeting a specific product, strain or brand.
You can also check nearby dispensaries within your locality to find an option that will be better for you. After all, you don't want to get pulled over with weed on you, do you? You are going to need necessary documents alongside you if you have a prescription for medical marijuana. Certain dispensaries have started with services such as pre-ordering to just pay-pickup and home-delivery options. The important thing you need to know is that not all dispensaries provide this option, so don't get upset if the one you choose doesn't have these services. Getting the right service, price and location proximity is hand down the best characteristics of a good dispensary.

For many, 2016 was a year of firsts. This year saw the first female U.S. presidential candidate win a major political party's nomination, Netflix offered offline downloads for the first time, and the Chicago Cubs won the World Series for the first time in 108 years. But 2016 has also had its fair share of echos from the past: some more lighthearted, and others a bit darker.
The year 2016 cannot be mentioned without the U.S. presidential election immediately coming to mind. Regardless of how you feel about the results, there were many striking parallels between this year's election and those in the past.
"With mudslinging, a lot of people have talked about election fatigue, or being tired of all of the jabs back and forth, all of the personal attacks," said Cassandra Yacovazzi, a post-doctoral fellow in the history department. "However, this is nearly not without precedent. Attack ads go back to the very first presidential election between John Adams and Thomas Jefferson. You saw deeply personal attack ads on both sides. And they weren't attacking nitty-gritty policy, they were attacking the other person's character."
This, of course, compares to the variety of personal attacks candidates on both sides of the presidential election this year threw at each other. From Donald Trump's camp, we saw Hillary Clinton being coined as "Crooked Hillary" or, as once used in a debate, "a nasty woman." From Clinton's camp, we saw attacks on Trump's political followers, as she said at a fundraising event that half his followers could fit into "a basket of deplorables."
Another striking parallel was the resurrection of nativism being practiced openly across the country. In its most basic form, nativism is defined as "the policy of protecting the interests of native-born or established inhabitants against those of immigrants."
"A flash of nativism came back in the 1880s when a new wave of immigrants — this time it was the Chinese, Eastern Europeans, Russian Jews and Italians — each of these groups were targeted by nativists," Yacovazzi said. "In the 1880s, Congress passed the Chinese Exclusion Act, which actually banned a specific ethnic group from entering the country for the first time. That wasn't overturned until 1943."
Nativist movements, such as Trump's suggestion to temporarily ban all Muslims from entering the country, weren't the only thing we saw this year. Much of the political rhetoric used by Trump and his campaign mirrored that of Charles Lindbergh's nativist rhetoric. Lindbergh, a publicly outspoken anti-Semite and isolationist, delivered a famous speech on Sept. 11, 1941 in which he promoted the idea of "America First." 75 years later, the exact same phrase was used by President-elect Trump in a speech. "'America First' will be the major and overriding theme of my administration," he said.
This year's election also saw an unprecedented type of campaigning, in which candidates used social media as a battleground to hold fierce political debates. The back-and-forth bickering on social media was not just political fodder, but it elicited real results that impacted the outcome of the election.
"I think in some ways, social media was used to make the election more divisive," Yacovazzi said. "It grouped people under certain titles or into certain categories where their identities could be whittled down to a hashtag. It was a new way to easily and unpredictably direct someone one way or another."
On a local scale, MU continued to heal from last year's heightened racial tensions on campus. However, there were some incidents this school year that reflected some of those racial tensions.
In fall 2015, after repeated injustices and acts of racism committed on campus, a group of students known as Concerned Student 1950 organized walkouts and protests in attempt to have their voices heard. The group issued a list of demands, one of which called for the UM System president at the time, Tim Wolfe, to resign. By the end of the fall, Wolfe officially resigned.
"Locally, it's interesting to see how the university started moving forward after the events from last fall," associate journalism professor Cristina Mislan said. "We still saw some instances of racism on campus this semester. There seems to be some moves that as a community we need to make. Granted, it's still going to take some time to create the cultural climate that we should have."
Not all historical parallels from this year have been as serious or as political as the U.S. election. This past summer, after the release of the gaming app Pokémon GO, it immediately became a smash hit across the country and even the globe. This phenomenon can be compared to the release and subsequent popularity gain of Pac-Man in the 1980s.
"It seems to be one of the hot takes of this year, whether or not Pokémon GO is a new phenomenon," said Alison Montgomery, a post-doctoral fellow in the history department. "Its release parallels the release of Pac-Man in 1980. Because again, you have this brand-new video game that comes out on the American market, [and] it's phenomenally successful. It sells in an age where video games are limited to arcades and pizza parlors, yet it sells over 350,000 consoles in maybe 15 to 18 months with it being on the market. So even with something as revolutionary as a game that you can play on your cell phone, there are precedents of that in the 1980s."
Whether it's politics or Pokémon, as we look back on this long year as it comes to an end, it is easy to see how history weaves its way back into the present.

Per our tour guide: the MiG's guns pointed upward 15 degrees for some reason, so the way to avoid being shot at was to fly very close to the ground. If you were shot at anyway, because the MiG was chasing you upside down, the pilot was probably Russian.

This 92-foot classic motor-yacht came down the ways of
Holland's Royal Lent Shipyard in 1964.
A Gaff-Rigged Schooner Cruising Greece And Turkey
A Classic Gaff-Rigged Schooner Cruising Greece And Turkey
Copyright 2014-2016 Charter Yachts Turkey. All rights reserved. The
Dear Homo Sapiens, There is no need to continue reading this page. What follows is intended for search engine robots and spiders and not necessarily for human beings. Further information concerning classic yacht cruising in the Mediterranean may be obtained by clicking on the maroon links immediately above. Thank You. Could you be searching for a Dutch water nymph? For a najade? Or naiad in English? For a water nymph such as those described by Homer in his Iliad and Odyssey, by Apollonius of Rhodes in his Argonautica, and by the Roman Ovid in his Metamorphoses. For a water nymph such as those depicted at right from a Roman mosaic found in Gaul, two of them becoming violently attached to Hylas, son of Heracles, who has merely come to fetch water from their spring. Or for a water nymph such as Ondine depicted at lower left who became human when she fell in love with a human but was doomed to die when he cheated on her. Well you have found a less aggressive and more stable water nymph! You have found a steel-hulled mahogany-appointed sea chariot worthy of Poseidon himself. In fact, you have found a sea chariot which in August 2013 was sighted cruising Turkey's Gulf of Gocek in the neighborhood of Poseidon's Garage! What gives! Has the God of the Sea dispensed with dolphins! We think not. The dolphins were simply off cavorting in their regular playground, the Gulf of Gulluk a short distance up the coast. That's the Gulf of Gulluk harboring the ancient port of Iassos. Memorialized in Iassos coinage is the association of boy and dolphin, and while the dolphins still abound, the boy was summoned to Babylon by Alexander and made head priest of the cult of Poseidon. Must therefore be another explanation for Najade's presence in the Gulf of Gocek. Likely a charter party simply hoping to catch sight of the Garage and whatever might be housed there. Or a charter party hoping to see as much of Turkey or of Turkey and Greece as possible. Yes, this sea nymph has cruised the world-over during her illustrious history but even today looks like she just came down her builder's ways. Would you like to holiday in Turkey's Gulf of Gocek? Gocek, ancient Callimache, sits on the border between ancient Caria and ancient Lykia. And the gulf is mostly encircled by land. When the wind kicks up, the water doesn't. And you can hardly turn around without running smack into history! Or into a white-sand beach! Or into a field of oregano! Could you be dreaming of holiday cruising the Turkish coast? Of a motor-yacht charter along the Turquoise Coast between Bodrum and Antalya? Of a charter in comfort from blue-water cove to blue-water cove? Or are you hoping to cruise Greece and Turkey at once? That is entirely possible aboard an English-flag yacht such as Najade. How about doing it aboard a classic motor-yacht reminiscent of those the robber-barons idle aboard. How about doing it aboard a motor-yacht with accommodations for four couples and maybe a ninth person. Simply click on the last of the foregoing links. You might charter this crewed motor-yacht to cruise pirate haunts, to visit, for example, the Lycian pirate Zeniketes' first century BC galley hideaway at Phaselis, near Antalya. Or to visit his headquarters at Olympos where as an early Robin Hood he is said to have re-distributed his "earnings." Or to sail Kheir-ed-Din Barbarossa's fifteenth and sixteenth century tracks along the Turkish coasts of Aeolis and Ionia and among Greek Cyclades islands of the central Aegean, corsair tracks and Ottoman admiral tracks. Do you not think you might like to holiday at the crossroads of history? At the crossroads of ancient history? Where naiades still abound? Of course you would. You might well like to have an extended-family holiday aboard a crewed motor-yacht cruising the Turkish and Greek Aegean. Who wouldn't! Or to have a group of friends or associates holiday aboard a charter yacht proceeding leisurely from one fascinating locale to another. Cruising the Greek Dodecanese. Or the Greek Sporades, including the Greek island of Lesbos where Kheir-ed-din (meaning Defender Of the Faith) was born Khizr, the youngest of four brothers all of whom would take to the sea. The 1470's offspring of a mother formerly wed to an Orthodox priest and of a Greek or Albanian father conscripted into the Ottoman janissary corps at an early age, the eldest of these sons was Aruj who would in 1516 become Emir of Algiers, the second was Elias who in his early-twenties would fall in combat with the Hospitaller Knights of Rhodes, the third was Isaac who would fall in combat with the Spanish in 1518 when Aruj, too, met his end. Having forded a river near Oran while pursued by a Spanish force of more than 10,000, Aruj re-crossed the river to assist some of his own men there surrounded. And so he fell covered with wounds and was immediately decapitated. The Spanish Catholic chronicler Abbot de Haedo wrote of him in 1612, "Aruj Barbarossa, according to the testimony of those who remember him, was, when he died, about forty-four years of age. He was not very tall of stature, but extremely well-set and robust; his hair and beard perfectly red; his eyes quick, sparkling and lively; his nose aquiline, or Roman, and his complexion between brown and fair. He was a man excessively bold, resolute, daring, magnanimous, enterprising, profusely liberal, and in no wise bloodthirsty, except when in the heat of battle, nor rigorously cruel except when disobeyed. He was highly beloved, feared and respected by his soldiers and domestics, and when dead was by them all in general most bitterly regretted and lamented." It was shortly after the death of Aruj, in 1518, that Khizr began to be known as Kheir-ed-Din Barbarossa, probably so named by Sultan Selim. He would go on to supplant Aruj as Emir of Algiers and eventually to become Sultan Suleiman's Kapudan Pasha or Kaptan-y Derya (supreme naval commander). He died in bed in 1546 after adding to a name, Barbarossa, which still clamors for attention today. Why not begin your holiday at the crossroads of history. Starting in Bodrum. Or Gocek. Are you searching for Gocek in Turkey? It is 42 nautical miles ENE of Apollonius' Rhodes Town with any number of naiades in between, and 15 road miles from its own international airport at Dalaman. There or elsewhere we can put you aboard a crewed motor-yacht for the holiday of a lifetime. We can put you aboard a charter yacht with an experienced crew able to show you the flat waters of the Gulf of Gocek, able to show you the Gulf of Antalya where Zeniketes lurked in wait for traders connecting silk roads, able to show you the Gulf of Gulluk where dolphins by the dozen still abound, able to show you Aruj Barbarossa's numerous tracks up the coast of Lycia and among Greek islands, sometimes as a privateer and sometimes as a galley slave of the Knights of Rhodes. And a crew able to also discuss the other brothers, Elias and Isaac and Kheir-ed-Din, not to mention their two sisters wed to corsairs. Najade, a classic motor-yacht available for charter in Turkey and Greece or anywhere else in the Mediterranean. Contact Charter Yachts Turkey today at email@example.com

X30Fit Bootcamp – Maximizing the Burn
Dan Van Dine stepped on the scale, and at 299 pounds, he made a decision that would not only change his body, but his career path and indeed his life forever.
"I knew I had let myself go way too much," he says, so he committed to losing weight and getting fit and he did it by enrolling in a group fitness boot camp.
"I dropped about 60 pounds and went from 39% body fat to 24%." But the "amazing" thing for Van Dine was the "community and culture" he found working out with others in a group boot camp.
"The community that was built and seeing the transformation of other people, it was all amazing to me," he says. His wife Victoria also joined the boot camp; both of them were sold.
Already a successful businessman – he and his wife have owned a popular tanning salon chain in their native Michigan for decades—after his dramatic weight loss, Van Dine knew what was next.
"This idea was very interesting. You're not just helping someone feel and look good, you're changing their lives, actually changing lives. My wife felt the same so we started putting a plan together," he says.
After years of running successful businesses, Van Dine knew, "We didn't have the expertise for the fitness side, the actual training. We got into this industry the backwards way, I guess you could say. Everyone else has a fitness degree first. I know how to run a business. The answer is pretty simple: I'm a product of what I'm building; I understand it from the client's point of view and I'm a workaholic so I can learn anything."
He founded X 30 Fit Boot Camp, now open 5140 Clark Road in Sarasota and featuring "the best trainers," Van Dine says.
And they found the best in Sarasota's Whit Reutlinger, a certified personal trainer who specializes teaching TRX suspension training, spinning, aquatic exercise as a professional AEA Aqua Trainer and Hydrorider (aquatic bikes) instruction. Whit is also a former U.S. Professional Tennis Association pro and three-time graduate of the National Outdoor Leadership School. Whit will be X 30 Fit Boot Camp's head trainer.
Another X 30 Fit Boot Camp trainer is Dalton Stenberg, certified trainer and lifestyle coach who studied Health and Fitness management at Northern Michigan University. Stenberg is a lifelong athlete having played both high school and collegiate football among other sports. While at NMU, Stenberg became manager of Marquette's leading health and fitness club and has extensive personal training and physical therapy experience having worked with clients suffering from debilitating injuries. Van Dine says Stenberg was highly successful in "bringing people back into a fit and healthy lifestyle."
Van Dine says the idea of a 'group personal' training boot camp is not an oxymoron. "X 30 Fit Boot Camp is a group where each is trained personally," he says.
X 30 Fit Boot Camp is based on the "Tranzformation method which has been extremely successful in achieving real results," says Van Dine.
"We're here to help you achieve real, functional fitness and fat loss results," he says. And results are guaranteed with a 100 percent money back guarantee. "We promise that the X 30 Fit Boot Camp Training will get you the body with a tighter waist, toned arms, and leaner legs."
The program is 30 minutes long. That's the key, Van Dine says. "You'll get high energy, fun, and challenging workouts designed to burn maximum fat and tone your entire body in only 30 minutes."
X 30 Fit Boot Camp's specialized 'After-burn Workouts' use a combination of High Intensity Interval Training and Active Rest Training to "get your body to burn more fat and calories than traditional workouts that are twice as long."
Registration is now open for X 30 Fit Boot Camp's '6 Week Transformation Challenge.'

"Never Quit." What a spectacularly bad piece of advice…Never quit wetting your bed? Or that job you had at Burger King in high school? …I think the advice-giver meant to say, `Never quit something with great long-term potential just because you can't deal with the stress of the moment.' Now that's good advice." Seth Godin, The Dip.
According to Godin, winners who quit are those who make "a conscious decision… based on the choices that are available to you." It's called strategic quitting and it's different than failing. He thinks it's a smart move to quit something when it becomes obvious to you that the effort exceeds the rewards. I have to agree.
Failing is when you give up on your dream, "when there are no other options, or when you quit so often that you've used up all your time and resources… Quitting smart, though, is a great way to avoid failing." In effect, you're preserving your resources so you can redirect them into a project that will help you accomplish your dream.
How does `Quitting Smart' translate into healthy living?
Some activities, like overeating, eating junk food, drinking, smoking, watching too much TV, playing too many video games, etc., zap your resources. Just think, if you're a half-a-pack-a-day smoker, and it takes about 10 minutes to smoke a cigarette, that's at least 100 minutes (over an hour and a half) that you spend every day treating yourself to some high quality poisons. I guess I don't have to mention the huge dent in your wallet, do I?
Quitting these types of activities would free up loads of time, money and energy. These resources could be better invested in activities that will actually get you closer to your dream.
Whatever your dream may be, you can't attain it without your health. And if you do manage to get your dream at the expense of your health, then how will you enjoy it? That's why I believe health is worth the effort. Health gives you everything you need to succeed in (and enjoy) life: energy, positive moods, confidence, stronger intuition and decisiveness – just to name a few.
The role of Conscious Living in healthy living
Most of the activities that get us further from our goals are performed without conscious thought. At the time, we're not thinking about the possible long-term effects. In most cases, we partake in these activities when we're stressed in a desperate attempt to alleviate that stress.
When we're stressed, the logical part of our brain shuts down and we simply react. The evolutionary reason for this is simple: when there's a saber-toothed tiger in the area, your body diverts all of its resources into getting the heck outta there. Instinct takes over – there is no time to think.
Unfortunately, this physiological function no longer suits us well on an average day. Many of our decisions are made in the moment and without much conscious thought. We're simply reacting to the circumstances, using our emotions to decide what to do rather than using logic.
Conscious living, on the other hand, is all about calm decision-making. You've thought ahead of time about how your daily actions affect your future and have decided that you want to live your life with intention. This style of living generally involves knowing what you want out of life and preparing to get there with a flexible plan.
Once you have your ducks lined up in a row, then you can take it one day at a time. Being aware of your daily actions helps you to be in the moment. It provides you reassurance that with every passing day you live your life with attention, intention and purpose, you're getting closer to your dream!
Wouldn't you say that achieving your dream makes you a winner? In this instance, I'd have to say quitting the stuff that gets you farther away from your dreams will make you a winner every time.

Christian Brothers Academy is pleased to announce that Andy Gojdycz '96 has been selected as the new varsity hockey head coach.
Gojdycz has had a decorated career in the sport since his days as a CBA Colt in the mid-1990s, when he won three straight state championships as a player in 1994, 1995 and 1996.
"We are very excited to welcome Andy back home to Lincroft," Director of Athletics Vito Chiaravalloti said. "During the search process, Andy stood out as the ideal candidate to build upon the proud traditions of the CBA hockey program. We loved his energy and were inspired by his vision for the program. We know he will have a positive influence on our students and we can't wait for him to get started."
Gojdycz has coached high school hockey for the past 17 years, including stops at Hightstown (2002-04), Hunterdon Central (2004-10), and Montgomery (2015-19). He won conference championships at both Hightstown and Hunterdon Central and was the 2009 Star Ledger Coach of the Year.
He also served as the Rutgers University head coach from 2002 to 2015, where he built the Scarlet Knights' program into one of the most respected American Collegiate Hockey Association (ACHA) Division I teams in the country. Rutgers qualified for four ACHA national tournaments and won five regular season conference titles under Gojdycz.
"I am honored that Christian Brothers Academy chose me to continue the school's storied hockey tradition," Gojdycz said. "As an alumnus, it is a privilege to be named the head coach of CBA Hockey and I am excited to start building towards our eighth state championship."
Outside of scholastic hockey coaching, Gojdycz has been an integral part of youth hockey development in the state of New Jersey. He is the executive director of the New Jersey Colonials Girls youth hockey program. Until 2017, Gojdycz was the New Jersey Devils' amateur hockey program director, where he organized youth clinics, camps and other initiatives for the NHL franchise.
Gojdycz is also the commissioner of the Northeast Collegiate Hockey League, a member of the NJSIAA seeding committee, and an associate coach-in-chief for the coaching education program in the Atlantic District of USA Hockey.
But not surprisingly, his hockey roots trace back to Lincroft, where he was a standout player for head coach Mike Reynolds during one of the greatest spans of hockey in CBA history. Aside from the three state titles, Gojdycz's teams won three straight Gordon Cup Championships and three consecutive Star Ledger Trophies for Team of the Year.
After graduating from CBA, Gojdycz played for Rutgers from 1996 through 2001, where his Scarlet Knight teams qualified for two ACHA national tournaments. He was an ACHA All-American in 1998 and remains the all-time defenseman leader in overall points.
Gojdycz and the Colts will get to work come November tryouts, with opening day slated for late November.

Join the Film Noir Foundation on Wednesday, December 18, 7:30pm at San Francisco's Castro Theatre for the annual Noir City Xmas. It will be a special evening of yule cruelty with a presentation of the dark Mexican holiday classic, La Otra (1946). The entire schedule for NOIR CITY INTERNATIONAL II, a program of noir from around the globe coming January 24-February 2, 2020, will also be revealed that night. Both events will be hosted by Eddie Muller, the Film Noir Foundation's founder and president, as well as the host of TCM's Noir Alley.
Dolores del Rio, one of the most beautiful actresses of all time, stars in the noir-laden thriller La Otra as identical twins: Maria, a manicurist who lives in near-poverty, and her sister Magdalena, who married the wealthy man Maria once loved. When the estranged sisters reunite at the funeral of Magdalena's husband, Maria can't help but imagine how different life would be if she could only trade places with her sister. Uh-oh. Take a guess where this is headed. Co-starring Jose Baviera, Agustin Irusta, and Victor Junco, with extraordinary cinematography by the great Alex Phillips. Del Rio enjoyed a successful career in Hollywood during the 1920s and 1930s before she returned to her native Mexico in the 1940s to claim her place as one of the nation's most renowned stars. La Otra is the first feature made under her own production banner, Mercurio. The film was also the initial collaboration between director Roberto Gavaldon and writer-activist Jose Revueltas, who would make eleven more films together becoming arguably the preeminent filmmaking team in Mexico.

LPW and Metalysis formed a collaboration which has the potential to revolutionise the Additive Manufacturing (AM) market. The partnership will develop an alternative supply chain for clean, spherical Tantalum and Tungsten powders for quality critical applications. It will combine Metalysis's unique metal production technology with LPW's spherodisation and post-processing capability. LPW will be responsible for selling the optimised powder to the AM market, resulting in a robust, quality driven supply chain to deliver high performance powders for the AM markets.
LPW leads the way in the development, optimisation and supply of metal powders into the AM industry and will be able to spherodise, size and blend high quality, free flowing powders directly from the raw material and alloys.
The Metalysis technology, which produces metal powder directly from oxide using electrolysis, has the potential to significantly increase production volumes, indeed its plant in South Yorkshire that begun producing tantalum powder this year is the first new primary tantalum metal production plant in Europe for more than 30 years. The patented process for producing metals, including refractory materials such as tantalum and tungsten alloys, offers both economic and environmental benefits over traditional metal production methods.
"The strategic collaboration between LPW and Metalysis will seek to develop and build the additive manufacturing market for tantalum and its alloys by pooling resources," said Metalysis Chief Executive, Dion Vaughan. "We believe that LPW's market expertise will complement Metalysis's experience in metal powder production to further the development of AM."
LPW Managing Director, Dr Phil Carroll added: "Metalysis offers a greener and more cost-effective process, add our specialist industry knowledge and we can then supply a range of high quality, specially developed powders for the additive manufacturing industry."

Mrs Anderson paid me the typical 20 bucks. I loaded up my points and Mr Anderson went me house as usual. We existed several miles out and although I possibly could have borrowed my parent's car Mr Anderson always offered to choose me up and decline me off. This way he could also invest a couple of minutes with my folks. He and my dad had labored together a long time before and have stayed friends actually since. On the way house we sold a little little talk. Turns out he was interesting a consumer of his, trying to shut some big deal. Several blocks from his house he drawn down the key road onto a part path with a couple of properties on it. All the lights were out on the houses. He pulled the car to the side of the street, made it off. Got time for the typical? he asked while turning towards me. You realize I always have time for you personally Mr Anderson. I claimed as I achieved over, undid his gear buckle, undid his jeans and fly.
I licked underneath of the end, then around the hole. Licking all around the opening before I pressed the tip of my tongue into it. One more lick about the tip then I drew the complete head in. Mr Anderson moaned. I adjusted myself by getting on my legs on the seat. Kneeling on the chair I leaned around and needed his tool within my mouth again. Getting it about the base I bobbed up and down about it, at once rubbing my language all the it. His one give started to roam. It roamed down my back. Due to the way I was placed my sweatshirt had ridden on me, exposing my decrease back. His hand was now on my subjected back, rubbing it.

Decreasing myself on his tool again, this time around I took it all in, I was strong throating him. When it absolutely was entirely in I presented it there, scrubbing my tongue along his shaft.
The only gentle in the automobile was from a nearby street gentle, adequate to see what I was doing. Reaching in I came across his dick, partial hard. He removed his sides a bit and pulled down his trousers so I'd free use of his cock and balls. He resolved back to his chair as I started to stroke his cock. As I stroked it grew harder. Yeah you have this kind of nice touch. Mr Anderson moaned. With my different give I cupped his balls, rubbed them lightly. Thank you Mr Anderson. I prefer the way your tool feels in my own hand. Yet another reason why Mr Anderson always drove me is I would generally give him a give work or suck him down on the way home. This started back after my senior year of large school.

Onetime though after he produced a couple of these remarks I reacted by asking to see his cock. Well he taken Chat Sex Online Free it out and actually since that time it absolutely was a pretty standard thing. Leaning around I licked the end of his cock. He moaned, he set his give on my head.

Following many more little images he ultimately stopped. I extended to pull on his cock, draining the remainder of his cum. Finally I drawn up. Whoa you have got to go. I said taking a look at the clock. It had been 11:10, the Anderson's might be home at any moment. We equally sprang to the feet, obtaining our discarded clothing and finding dressed. At the entranceway we kissed again. In the same way he was going to open the doorway a vehicle taken in the driveway.'Fast out the back.

Shawn Latino Sex Chat claimed while driving away slightly. I drawn off him, got on the floor on my fingers and knees. He was right behind me, his dick smacked on my butt a few times.

After keeping his cock serious in my own throat for all seconds I supported off. I wrapped one hand around the beds base of his cock and stroked it, while I sucked and licked the tip.

Almost straight away the telephone gone off, a reply nightmare yeah be there in 5. It absolutely was from Shawn my boyfriend. I met him this past year at the city school we attended. Because we equally existed at home we took benefit of every possibility that individuals got to be alone. I didn't usually have Shawn over when bab ysitting but we had both been active with midterms yesteryear number of weeks. I understand I needed it, and I am sure he did.

But I chickened out, what if it absolutely was some body else. I could not be able to describe that.

I really like taste and experience of a dick in my own mouth. I enjoy the power it offers me over a guy.
Five minutes transferred, it felt as an hour. I sat on the couch flicking through the programs on TV, waking up twice to check out the window. Still another 5 minutes, this was eliminating me. I could not wait, I was so damp in anticipation, it had been a couple of weeks since we were alone together, it was eliminating me. Eventually there was a small knock at the door.

Taking Stephen Jay Gould to heart, the Neoteny Society was dedicated to the idea that humans, as a species, were just the larval stage of another organism. Neoteny, meaning in this case the sexual maturity of an organism still in its larval stage rather than the retention of juvenile characteristics in the adult, was held by the Society to be an evolutionary mistake preventing humans from reaching their true potential.
In response to the claim that their beliefs were scientifically unsupportable, the Society advanced the notion that the "adult" humans has been gossamer being, capable of flight and with no tissues suitable for fossilization. This, along with the regular experimentation of Society members with hormones they believed would trigger their metamorphoses into "adults," regularly provoked ridicule in the press and in scientific circles. The Society was awarded so many "bad science" prizes that they were eventually disqualified from further competition–a sign of the laughingstock that they had become.
That is until one day, when a building inspector found the Neoteny Society building deserted save for a hole in the roof. None of the members were ever seen again.

The British Retail Consortium has launched a campaign that urges whichever government is elected in June ensures a fair deal for consumers during the Brexit negotiations with the EU.
The Fair Brexit for Consumers – the Tariff Road Map for the Next Government report and project focusses on the tariff aspects of Brexit, highlighting the UK's current import trade relationships with data and facts, as well as the risks and opportunities that will arise during the negotiation phase.
BRC chief executive Helen Dickinson said the whichever government wins the June 8 General Election needed to ensure "requires an orderly and sequenced Brexit process".
"The first step is to mitigate the risks by securing the continuation of tariff-free trade with the EU, to avoid further upward pressure on food prices," she said.
"Next, is the need to replicate the EU's existing deals with developing countries.

"Only then, should the government look to realise the opportunities presented by new trading relationships with the rest of the world."
The campaign follow's BRC official response to the announcement of the early General Election, whereby it stressed the need for stability as the UK begins Brexit negotiations.
Releasing a statement after the House of Commons on Wednesday voted in support of a motion for the election, Dickinson said political and economic stability was important as Brexit would have a "profound impact" on imports and prices for consumers.
"The retail industry will want to see plans from the next government that puts consumers first in the Brexit negotiations and ensures that ordinary shoppers aren't hit with the cost of unwanted new tariffs," she said.
"The retail industry is a driving force in our economy. Political and economic stability, and a business tax environment fit for purpose in the 21st century, is what's needed for the retail industry to drive productivity with better jobs, innovation and new skills for the digital age."

Where to post your questions in Microsoft Forums
Hi all,
As some of you know, I manage about 120 MSDN and TechNet Forums for our division. One thing I see constantly is questions that are asked in the wrong forum, and this never results in a high probability of getting an answer to your question, and getting an answer is what everyone wants! I've already written a post on "How to post effectively in Forums", so this is a follow-up to that, with some pointers about how to find the right place to ask your question. You want to find the Forum with the greatest amount of experts in the area you are asking about, right?
Due to the evolution of technology communities at different rates by different groups within Microsoft, we have two major Forum platforms that do not share a common code base. The reasons for this are complex and involve lots of things that happen inside a large corporation, so I won't go into details. What you do need to know, though, is that it is impossible for a Moderator to move posts between these sets of Forums, so it is important that you at least get your post in the correct set of Forums, or your chances of getting a good answer quickly decrease drastically.
ASP.Net, Silverlight and their associated technologies all work on the Telligent platform at http://www.asp.net. MSDN, TechNet and Microsoft forums all reside on our own framework at http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/categories and http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/categories. MSDN is more geared toward Developer technologies, while TechNet is meant for IT Pro based issues. I have put together the following table to help:
