Tag: Reading List
God's embrace
I urge us all to stop looking at ourselves for the nourishment of our own spirituality and turn to the church and its worship to disclose God's embrace and thus nourish our spirituality. The church, by its very existence, is the life of God's embrace, and worship, when properly understood, is the continual experience of God's embrace, reaching out from the hard wood of the cross.
Robert E. Webber, The Divine Embrace: Recovering the Passionate Spiritual Life
(Grand Rapids, MI: Baker Books, 2006), 220-221.
All kingdom work is rooted in worship….
All kingdom work is rooted in worship. Or , to put it the other way around, worshipping the God we see at work in Jesus is the most politically charged act we can ever perform. Christian worship declares that Jesus is Lord and that therefore, by strong implication, nobody else is. What's more, it doesn't just declare it as something to be believed, like the fact that the sun is hot or the sea wet. It commits the worshipper to allegiance, to following this Jesus, to being shaped and directed by him. Worshipping the God we see in Jesus orients our whole being, our imagination, our will, our hopes, and our fears away from the world where Mars, Mammon, and Aphrodite (violence, money, and sex) make absolute demands and punish anyone who resists . It orients us instead to a world in which love is stronger than death, the poor are promised the kingdom, and chastity (whether married or single) reflects the holiness and faithfulness of God himself. Acclaiming Jesus as Lord plants a flag that supersedes the flags of the nations, however "free" or "democratic" they may be. It challenges both the tyrants who think they are, in effect, divine and the "secular democracies" that have effectively become, if not divine, at least ecclesial, that is, communities that are trying to do and be what the church was supposed to do and be, but without recourse to the one who sustains the church's life. Worship creates— or should create, if it is allowed to be truly itself— a community that marches to a different beat, that keeps in step with a different Lord.

GSU offensive line impresses Hatcher
ATHENS - Chris Hatcher's biggest question marks coming into the season opener against top-ranked Georgia involved his biggest players: the offensive line.
Georgia Southern's coach liked the answers he got from the group Saturday.
The Eagles rushed for 120 yards, not including sack yardage, behind five players who had just four career starts between them.
Guard Dio Herrera had three of those starts and tackle Cole Fountain the fourth. The rest of the starters Saturday were center Trey Dunmon, a Georgia Tech transfer, guard Jonathan Loving and tackle Michael McIntosh.
"At times, they really looked good," Hatcher said. "We ran the ball exceptionally well on Georgia. And that's the biggest positive offensively."
The line also did a fair job protecting quarterbacks Lee Chapple and Antonio Henton. They allowed three sacks - half the number UGA posted against Hawaii in last season's Sugar Bowl.
Starting on a bad note
The bus carrying GSU's band broke down en route to Athens, according to Eagles' facilities manager Roger Inman.
The group did not arrive at Sanford Stadium until well after the game started. The band did perform at halftime.
UGA loses Owens to injury
Jeff Owens, an All-Southeastern Conference defensive lineman, sustained a right knee injury early in the second quarter and did not return.
"He won't be back anytime soon," Georgia coach Mark Richt said.
Wide receiver Kenneth Harris injured his right ankle in the second quarter and did not return.
Running back Knowshon Moreno and linebacker Dannell Ellerbe left in the third quarter because of cramps on the 88-degree day with high humidity.
Eagle eggs
GSU athletic director Sam Baker confirmed he and UGA officials have agreed to play again in 2012. The date has yet to be determined. The Bulldogs have an opening on the first weekend of the regular season. ... Former GSU star Adrian Peterson was on the Eagles' sideline for Saturday's game. ... GSU punter Charlie Edwards averaged 44 yards on seven punts in his debut. ... Both UGA and GSU's quarterbacks spread their passes around. The Bulldogs' Matthew Stafford and Joe Cox threw to nine different receivers; the Eagles' Lee Chapple and Antonio Henton completed passes to eight targets. ... Non-conference play continues for both teams next Saturday. Georgia will take on visiting Central Michigan at 3:30 in Athens, while the Eagles will play host to Austin Peay at 6 p.m.
Reporter Donald Heath contributed to this report.

There is no one right way to make a product video. Depending on your vertical, customers have various expectations on what they want to see. And, they have various needs based on how they make purchasing decisions.
There are a few things though that are common to all the best product videos out there.
- They tell a story: Without context, your product video isn't going to make any sense. You could produce tons of product videos for your product page that just show the item in a 360 degree spin. But, what's the point in spending the money to produce such a video that you can't really use anywhere else? Your video needs to be branded. It needs put your product or service in context. That often means it needs to be shown in use, as a great example of your product — and why the customer can't resist it. Use the video to continue re-iterating on your brand values and promise: essentially, a how-to video that can be repurposed throughout your marketing.
- They are short: Aim to make a video topping out at 30 seconds — especially for the sake of sharing on social media. Yes, it's hard to distill a message down to half a minute, but the best product videos make it look like a cinch. Some of the videos below go over this threshold, but pay attention to what's happening in the video as to why. Some audience segments will be OK with extra video length if you're pulling on other emotional strings.
- They are human: The point of a product explainer video is to increase relate-ability between your brand and your customer. Text and images don't get this across as well. You want the video production to show emotion and honesty — whether it shows actual people or is an animated video. You want potential customers to walk away feeling as though you understood them, and spoke to the core of their best self.
All of the videos below accomplish each of these things in varying degree.
Do you have a product video you love to rewatch? Share it with us and we'll add it to the list.

Build, manage, and scale the online business you want. With Essentials, you can get up and running in less time, with less cost.

Nine Line
No one said your product videos needed to be serious. This video combines the brand's humor with its niche product line (with superb audio narration). And, it does it in under 30 seconds, without a single word said.
Man Crates
The voice alone is entertaining, but that isn't why this product demonstration video makes the best of the best list. This video showcases both the brand spirit as well as what a consumer can expect to get in the box, and from the opening experience.
It does all of this in under 30 seconds.
Native Union
Technology product videos are often some of the best. You can thank Apple's legendary advertising for that. Of course, this video will show you where Apple could have used a little more innovation.
Native Union tells a beautiful story of convenience for modern technology customers – which at this point, is near all of us.
The light in this video is subtle and crisp. The home reminds viewers of their own, or of the one they want. This video touches on both need and want – pushing viewers closer to conversion.
Raspberry Pi
Never underestimate the power of transparency and and relatability. And, know your audience! This video nails both, with the founder giving a personal story behind why he started the company, and speaking directly to people to like him, or parents of kids like he used to be. This video pulls heavily on the nostalgic heartstrings – and reminds how technology is truly changing the world for the better.
Training Mask
With some products, it is essential to show the item in action. This video is simple, but it gets the point across, especially to prospective buyers. This is a niche product for a niche audience, one dedicated to training and betterment, an audience that wakes up before the sun to train before work – and do it all over again, for a single moment of ultimate glory, and hundreds of smaller ones along the way.

This product demo video combines a product description as well as a how to for set up. It's simple in scope – but it is everything anyone would need to decide if they wanted to buy the product. This is the definition of bringing the offline buying experience to the online world.
NaturallyCurly doubles as a media brand and an online shop. Their product videos are thus linked with content series and campaigns, meaning there are very rarely any one offs.
We chose this video because of the #HaveYouTriedThis tag, which encourages users to interact on social media. Plus, any video with an adorable child that takes less than 15 seconds to get the point across is a winner.
Glory Cycles
The power of music and movement is strong with this one. With sports products, it is essential consumers can see the product in action. This video accomplishes that, as well as provides a short storyline, giving the video more depth.
Also note that you can use connotations to add product details and links back to your site from the video.
How do you stand out from your competitor's? If it's with a customer-focus, then video is a great way to tell that story.
In this video, Marucci takes a jab at competitors who release new models of product every year. Instead, the spokesperson goes into detail on why this new model took years of customer feedback, research and new technological advances to turn it into a reality.
All in all, Marucci comes out the real winner here.
Sierra Designs
Consumers trust people they can relate to. Thus Sierra Designs video is perfect for speaking to a hiking and camping crowd. The designer, featured in the video, talks through everything he did to make this tent the perfect tent for an avid hiker and camper.
Think of this video as an online version of an in-store employee. He answers all the questions a consumer could possibly have – and does so with an aire of expertise consumers are bound to trust.
Solo Stove
Not only does this video show the product in action, it also explains the brand's positioning and gives background as to how and why the product came to life. This video perfectly combines both storytelling and product showcasing, making it perfect for use in all channels: on a product page, in paid advertising, etc.
SISU Mouthguards
There is nothing insanely compelling about this video, except for the use of an expert. If your product stands heads above the crowd and there are professionals, like doctors or influencers, willing to speak to it – use them.
This video's power is in it's doctor-approved messaging, which increases consumer trust in the item and the brand.
Josie Maran
Product videos don't just have to be about the product in question. Good videos tell a story. In this video, Josie connects the dots between motherhood, health, beauty and natural skincare in an engaging way. The new product's back story is brought to life, and made more relevant for her brand's audience.
Music is a key element to a great product video. In this case, Onzie nailed it. Onzie is a fitness line geared toward women – so this video is aimed at capturing an entirely new market. The music keeps it upbeat and creative. You wouldn't know this was their first video go-around with a new audience segment.
The biggest goal for any product video is to bring the product to life, showing the viewer everything they'd want to know or ask about if they were looking at the product in store.
This video does a great job at addressing every detail on the item – while showing it in action.
And there you have it — the best video commerce experiences we've seen online today. These help set the standard as you craft a video strategy for your online business. If you come across any more standout video marketing examples, be sure to leave them in the comments below and we may update this article with your suggestion!

Commerce is essential to the global economy. It encompasses everything related to the buying and selling of goods and services at both the wholesale and retail levels.
Commerce is defined as the exchange of goods and services between two or more entities. It typically involves buying and selling things of value. Commerce can take place between businesses, between consumers, or between businesses and consumers.
Commerce involves an exchange of value and often generates a profit for one of the parties involved. It also includes services provided by companies and other organizations that facilitate the commerce exchange.
Commerce is important to our society in five essential ways:
Know that commerce is not the same thing as business – it's a subset of what we call business. Commerce also involves the distribution of goods produced by manufacturers, leaving out the manufacturing or production processes.
There are two branches of commerce – trade, and everything that aids trade. Within each branch are several sub-branches that define each one.
Trade is any exchange or sale of goods and services between two or more parties. There are two primary types of trade – internal and external.
Internal trade refers to trade that takes place within a single country's borders. These internal sales can be either wholesale or retail:
External trade refers to trade that takes place between entities in different countries. For example, if a factory in the United States buys parts from a manufacturer in China, that's external trade.
There are three types of external trade:
Aids to trade are all the activities that assist in the process of trade. These include transport, warehousing, distribution, advertising, insurance and banking.
There is no one type of commerce. Businesses buying from other businesses is one form of commerce, consumers buying from businesses is another form. Today we identify seven primary commerce business models, as detailed below. All of these business models can take place either physically or online via an ecommerce platform. In addition, some of these business models can be combined to create a commerce chain from production all the way through to the end consumer.
The business-to-consumer (B2C) model is probably the one people are most familiar with. It refers to any instance where a business sells a product or service to a consumer. Any retail store is an example of B2C commerce, as are online retailers such as Amazon.
When a business sells a product or service to another business, that's business-to-business (B2B) commerce. With B2B commerce, the business doing the buying often resells the product or service to consumers, creating a B2B2C chain.
Business-to-administration (B2A) commerce occurs when a business sells a product or service to a local, state, or federal government agency. B2A commerce is sometimes referred to as B2G or business-to-government commerce.
Individuals can also sell products or services to the government. When this occurs, it's called consumer-to-administration (C2A) commerce.
Oftentimes, individual consumers sell products and services to other consumers. This is consumer-to-consumer (C2C) commerce, as typified by sales enabled through online marketplaces such as Craigslist and eBay.
When an individual consumer sells a product or service to a business, or otherwise provides value to a business, that's called consumer-to-business (C2B) commerce. C2B commerce doesn't have to include monetary payments to the consumer. For example, a consumer contributing to a focus group for a business is engaging in C2B commerce.
This commerce business model occurs when a consumer buys a product or service directly from a manufacturer, bypassing the retailer. This is called direct-to-consumer (DTC) commerce and essentially cuts out the middleman.
Your business is involved in some aspect of commerce. Optimizely offers a variety of products and services that can help you run your business, including a robust digital experience platform, optimization-as-a-service, full stack testing and more.

"Abbs has found a gripping and little-known story at the heart of one of the 20th century's most astonishing creative moments, researched it deeply, and brought the extraordinary Joyce family and their circle in 1920s Paris to richly-imagined life."—Emma Darwin, bestselling author of A Secret Alchemy and The Mathematics of Love
For readers who adored novels like The Paris Wife, Z, and Loving Frank, comes Annabel Abbs highly praised debut novel, where she spins the story of James Joyce's fascinating, and tragic, daughter, Lucia.
"When she reaches her full capacity for rhythmic dancing, James Joyce may yet be known as his daughter's father . . ."
The review in the Paris Times in November 1928 is rapturous in its praise of Lucia Joyce's skill and artistry as a dancer. The family has made their home in Paris—where the latest ideas in art, music, and literature converge. Acolytes regularly visit the Joyce apartment to pay homage to Ireland's exiled literary genius. Among them is a tall, thin young man named Samuel Beckett—a fellow Irish expat who idolizes Joyce and with whom Lucia becomes romantically involved.
Lucia is both gifted and motivated, training tirelessly with some of the finest teachers in the world. Though her father delights in his daughter's talent, she clashes with her mother, Nora. And as her relationship with Beckett sours, Lucia's dreams unravel, as does her hope of a life beyond her father's shadow.
With Lucia's behavior growing increasingly erratic, James Joyce sends her to pioneering psychoanalyst Carl Jung. Here, at last, she will tell her own story—a fascinating, heartbreaking account of thwarted ambition, passionate creativity, and the power of love to both inspire and destroy.
The Joyce Girl creates a compelling and moving account of the real-life Joyce Girl, of unrealized dreams and rejection, and of the destructive love of a father.

Kudos to the federal judge who called the Obama administration out on its nonsense: The government's refusal to allow the morning-after pill to be sold widely without a prescription was "politically motivated" and "scientifically unjustified,"
Right on both counts. This policy was based on worries about re-election, not women's welfare.
For years, scientists and major medical groups have been recommending unimpeded access to the morning-after pill. Yet a prescription was still required for girls 16 and younger.
In 2011, Kathleen Sebelius, Obama's Health and Human Services secretary, overruled the Food and Drug Administration's recommendation that the morning-after pill be sold to all ages without a prescription — and Obama backed her decision. She claimed this was because we didn't have enough data to show it could be safely used by girls ages 10 to 12.
But there's a very good reason for that: These girls aren't having unprotected sex and taking the morning-after pill. There are only about 100 births a year to girls 10 to 12. Those are tragic, freak accidents. And as scientists point out, the safety concerns of getting pregnant at such a young age far outweigh those of the morning-after pill.
Besides, according to Sebelius' reasoning, we wouldn't be selling acetaminophen over the counter either, because an 11-year-old might buy it. Misuse of that drug could be fatal, yet it's still available to everyone and cheaper than Plan B, which costs $40 to $50.

Here's what we should really be worried about: The 15- or 16-year-old who has unprotected sex on a Saturday night, wakes up Sunday morning, and realizes she's made a terrible mistake. How does she get a prescription for Plan B in a timely manner?
Thankfully, this judge recognized the administration's policy for the nervous political dance that it was. There was never any real justification to overrule the FDA recommendation. The morning-after pill would be among the safest drugs sold over the counter, and the chance that young children would misuse it is miniscule.
Our government policy should be about preventing unwanted pregnancies, not political blowback.

The garlic festival was started in 1979 as a fundraiser for local charities. The Gilroy Garlic Festival Association is a non-profit that helps support groups in Gilroy, California. The festival is held at Christmas Park and it brings in a pretty big crowd, 100,000 people big. When we first pulled through the town on the way in Friday night we were greeted by a steady stream of cars heading out of town. The festival had just closed for the night and this was the resulting traffic. We were planning on going first thing the next morning and it is a good thing we are early birds. The festival opens at 10:00 am and we pulled into the parking lot at 9:15. From the lot we popped on a shuttle that took us right to the ticket windows where we waited in line for our passes in. The passes are $20 a person or $18 if you want to buy them online before you leave home. Parking was an additional $10. From there we were able to walk in to the full swing of the event a few minutes early.
As we drove into town the night before you could smell garlic in the air. It was such a great smell. The smell only got better as we got closer to the park and as we were there the smells of garlic in all of its form flowed through the air like a heavenly fog. There were booths set up in a row of garlic related items and a few other little treasures. The park is grass and dirt so it was a good thing that we all wore smart shoes. This isn't the place for your fancy hills ladies. You could find garlic oils, garlic spices and garlic clothing of all kinds here.
I got this epic garlic hat. I can't wait to wear it to pick up my son from school this year. I was also able to pick up some Garlic Garni. If you like garlic at all you will love this all around great seasoning. It may just be a spice but to us its a bit of a memory. While Brandan and I were dating we would go to home shows and one day I found this spice. We loved it from the start and we still do today.
|Pyro Chefs
The heart of the festival is Gourmet Alley. Here you can find all things garlic. With options like garlic shrimp, calamari, scampi, garlic pepper steak sandwiches, garlic bread, garlic fries, stuffed mushrooms and garlic pasta you can feed everyone in your family exactly what they want. The garlic bread was the best I have ever had. Really, it was that good. Off to the side of Gourmet Alley you can see the Pyro Chefs. They are cooking up your food over a gas flame and putting on a show for you to watch.
If you are looking for a treat instead of a meal then you can find that too. How about all the free garlic ice cream you can handle. For Brandan that was one but for me I could have gone back a few times. It was like a sweet vanilla with a touch of caramelized garlic goodness. It was very enjoyable. We also found garlic kettle corn. We got a huge bag so we ate it on the drive home and a little for lunch the next day as well.
We followed the kettle corn with snow cones and of course the flavor of choice was garlic. A sweet sugary sauce with a touch of garlic flavor. Brandan didn't love it but I did. Maybe not in a way that would lead me to have it every day but I would definitely have it again. We passed on the alligator, kangaroo, bison, frog legs and basically anything else you could smother in garlic and make a meal of. It was incredible to see all the ideas people came up with. There was four other garlic ice creams with other special flavors as well if the basic wasn't special enough.
Where there is cooking there is BBQ and this was also the case here. The Gilroy Garli-que BBQ Challenge let professionals on Saturday and amateurs on Sunday for prizes totaling $7500.
All of this cooking didn't even count the main cooking event of the festival. Professional chefs battled head to head in a Garlic Showdown hosted by Food Network star Giada De Laurentiis.
|The Burning Bulb
The Burning Bulb here was a favorite place to snap some pictures and a great place to see how much money was raised for local groups. When you can have a blast with all things garlic and get a chance to funnel some cash to a well deserving group then its a worthwhile adventure.
I might be smelling like garlic for weeks to come and it was all worth it. Great times with great people. I really do have a pretty good life. Its the little things.

From Singapore to Tokyo, back to Singapore again. I enjoy good food, street fashion, and pretending to be an urban ninja. I'm passionate about visuals and I believe in doing more of what makes you happy.
July 2017 / Harajuku, Tokyo
Model: Ryota "Ben" Nakaoka
Photography by Alexis Lee
for TheCasual.co
I first met Ben when I was on my first shoot for The Casual. He had a laid-back vibe to him. Ben's a really snazzy guy who's usually rocking a suit. Asides from being part of the United Arrows & Sons crew, Ben is also a jazz singer, which should explain how cool he is already.
When I was contacted to do a quick shoot for Ben, I had no idea what it was going to be like. I am but a photographer who works better under some sort of limitation – I don't enjoy big studio lights and fancy rigs. The more you limit me, the more I'd try to work around it. Because of this, I always turn to the streets. The fun thing about the streets is also the most challenging thing – you have to make use of your environment to make it work.
It is evidently possible to rock a three-piece suit in Japanese summer weather.
I have no idea how he does it. Despite the three-piece suit, Ben remained cool as a cucumber. His dreads and his sunglasses brought his character forward in a very charismatic manner. He had a great sense of humor too.
Ben did walk us over to a cool clothing shop which doubles as a bar by night, called Apt.335. The owner was kind enough to grace us with about 10 minutes to shoot while his guests took a quick smoking break outdoors.
To be honest, this was my first shoot in a very long time. In fact, this was probably my first photoshoot in Tokyo after being here for over a year. The night proved some difficulties as there was a lack of lighting, which explains the noise. Shooting on RAW took care of it for just a little bit, but I was able to achieve the desired look that I was going for in the end.

My lining fabric is a faux silk polyester from the sale rail in Sew N Sew in Belfast. It was £9 for 2 metres, and is red on one side and silver on the other. Here's a close up of the main fabric, and you can see that it has a little coloured thread through out it.
I didn't do this because I wanted the option to be able to adjust the princess seams at the shoulders. So I quilted the lining pieces to the main pieces without attaching any of the lining pieces together. Then I constructed the sleeves (I'll talk about this in a minute), hand sewed the side seam lining pieces together as on the class, and sewed in the sleeves.
This jacket took me about two months to make, working on it off and on, and I LOVE how it has turned out. As much as I don't mind hand sewing, I can't under-estimate just how much of it there is in this jacket! If hand sewing isn't your thing, then this pattern isn't for you.

DAVENPORT, Iowa – July 2 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Online design firm, Victory Design Technologies, has launched an eCommerce site that gives new meaning to the term "dog lover." 4LeggedFashion.com – that launched on Wednesday, June 27 – allows dog lovers to personalize matching apparel for both owner and dog. One of the template designs has a shirt for a dog owner that says "This is my dog, [insert dog name]" while the companion shirt for the dog says "This is my human, [insert name]."
"For the first time in human history, the personalization of dog and owner wear is now possible. Online design and digital garment printing allows consumers to personalize and print one set at a time, rather than the larger quantities previously required through screen printing," said Kelli Grubbs, company president. "When my father-in-law lost his greyhound, it sparked us to think about how we could use our online apparel design to provide him a gift and cheer him up. When he got a new greyhound from the rescue organization, they were the first recipients of 4LeggedFashion.com companion wear."
For $29.95 a dog owner can create companion human and dog tee shirts with a number of humorous sayings. One companion set has a dog's shirt that says "I live in a dog house" while the owner shirt says "I just got out of the dog house." On each shirt, the dog bowl is personalized with the name of the dog and owner.
4LeggedFashion.com is run and managed by VictoryStore.com which also manages the online design site for Carnival Cruise Lines, CarnivalFunTees.com.
"Our online design technologies are opening up a new world of personalization and apparel design for consumers and companies across the country," said Grubbs.
Victory Design Technologies uses AJAX programming technologies to create an intuitive interface that is as easy for Internet beginners as it is for experienced users.
VictoryStore.com and Victory Design Technologies are headquartered in Davenport, Iowa with a production facility also located in Reno, Nevada. VictoryStore.com was launched in January of 2000 and was listed last year as one of Internet Retailers Top 500 Internet retail stores.

Thanks to high profile events such as the Tour de France, cycling has never been so popular. In the last few years, tens of thousands of bikes have been sold to ordinary people looking to get fit and enjoy some exercise outdoors. But although cycling is fun, is it any good as a cardio weight-loss exercise? Or would you be better taking up jogging instead?
The best thing about cycling is that anyone can do it. You can go for a ride on a weekend, or once you get a bit fitter, start cycling to and from work. The government's cycle to work scheme for employees is a great way of buying a new bike tax-free, so if cycling to work is feasible, find out more and start saving money on petrol.
Dieting alone will lead to weight loss, but if you want to keep the weight off, you need to make some major lifestyle changes. Introducing regular exercise into your daily routine is one way to keep the excess weight off and cycling is good for a number of reasons.
Check out these 5 ways cycling helps weight loss so you can get started.
Easy on the Joints
The heavier you are at the outset, the harder it is to exercise safely. Cycling is a low impact sport, so no matter how heavy you are, you can still get on a bike and ride. Even grossly out of shape people will be able to pedal a few miles without too much trauma. And the further you pedal the more calories you will burn.
Calorie Burning
Cycling uses up a lot of calories and if you cycle at a reasonably active pace (13-15mph) you will burn around 600 calories in an hour. Surprisingly this is more than jogging, and since jogging exacts a heavy toll on the joints, cycling is clearly a better choice of weight loss exercise.
Fat Burning
Cycling works the largest muscles in the body: the quads, hamstrings, and glutes. Your lower body will enjoy a fantastic workout when you start cycling and the more you cycle, the more fat cells your body will burn.
Improved Circulatory System
Long, steady rides improve our circulatory system in the legs, which in turn builds the fat burning cells in the leg muscles. The harder your muscles work, the more fat you burn.
Increased Levels of Fat Burning Enzymes
The fitter you become through regular cycling, the more efficient your body will be at utilising the oxygen you take in, and the more oxygen your body uses, the greater amount of fat burning there will be.
Boost Your BMR
Your body will continue to burn fat for many hours after you step off the bike. This is because your body is working to repair muscle and tissue damage and your Basic Metabolic Rate stays elevated as a result.
Whatever your fitness goals, cycling is a fun, social form of exercise and most people agree that group exercise is a much better way of staying motivated on a weight loss plan. So what are you waiting for? Get on your bike and start pedaling!

Saving money can sometimes feel impossible when it's being stretched between bills, social activities and daily expenses like travel. Student Writer Taz shares her method of budgeting when she needs some extra cash saved up.
Knowing where to start when it comes to saving for something nice can often be tricky. Yes, as students, we may get a helping hand from Student Finance with uni life costs, but learning when you can or can't afford to put 'away' some cash is a challenge. However, no matter what you're saving for (be it the new iPhone XR, a fresh pair of Reeboks, or a summer holiday with friends), there are a number of steps you can take to improve your budgeting routine, and be on the way to achieving that big save.
Step 1: Open up a savings account.
I highly recommend a savings bank account (in addition to your regular and student accounts). Having three accounts will help you to organise your money into 1. Your own earnings 2. Your student loan 3. Your personal savings. And it's super easy to set one up. Nowadays, most internet banking apps have the instant option to create a savings account which you can monitor and transfer money from on the same digital platform as your other accounts.
Step 2: Make a physical note of your outgoings.
The best way to keep track of your spending is to do the maths. Most people choose to do this on their phones, in their diaries, or some (tech-savvy students) on an excel sheet. Whilst this might seem a pretty tedious activity, it takes just minutes to record what you've spent and this could save you all kinds of money panics. The best way to organise your spending is to divide it into sections such as:
- Food shopping
- Rent/Bills
- Travel
- Social
- Treats
It's also ideal to give yourself a budget for each term (once you've received your student loan) and to work out how much you will roughly have to spend per week once you've paid your rent and any other essential expenses. You can also use a plus or minus column to keep track of any over and under spending you've done in the week and use this as a guide for what to spend in the following weeks.
Step 3: Take advantage of discounts and student offers.
If you're like me, and LOVE a student discount, this will be the easiest step for you. Downloading apps such as Unidays and Student Beans can be a great way to save on meals out and clothes. Investing in a TOTUM card and 16-25 railcard could also save you hundreds throughout the year. Equally, there are saving schemes such as MoneyBox which do the job for you by rounding each of your outgoings up to the nearest pound and putting this away for you. Taking simple steps such as these will help you to reduce your spending and help you on the way towards that ultimate saving goal.
Step 4: Make the most of birthday money.
If you're lucky enough to receive any additional financial help from parents, or to receive cash gifts on your birthday, don't be foolish by spending it all at once. Why not transfer some of this money into your savings account or keep it in a safe place for emergencies or a treat?
Step 5: A job goes a long way!
The final and most important piece of advice when it comes to saving is to put the time into making it happen. Having a part-time job during the week (even if it's just one shift a week) will make a difference and give you that extra boost of income each month. If your schedule won't allow it at uni, why not also search for job opportunities at home for during the holidays? The more time and effort you put into earning, the bigger and better the end result will be.
For financial advice and support on campus, don't forget to use the University's Student Financial Support Team.
Happy saving!

Siemens will design and build a smart medium-voltage microgrid, the corresponding grid automation system and an electrical storage system as part of the LEMENE project near Tampere.
After the microgrid is built, industrial businesses in the area can connect to the distributed energy system and can take part in different energy markets. If necessary, the energy system is also capable of independent off-grid operations by disconnecting from the national grid.
"Our goal is to create an energy community with decentralized generation of renewable energy," said Toni Laakso, CEO of Lempäälän Energia. "This involves ensuring the security of supply of the energy community and ensuring its functionality at all times. Automation plays an important role in the energy community, since it ensures the system's performance."
The energy will be produced by two solar panel fields, with an annual output of 3,600 MWh coming from over 15,000 panels, six gas motors and fuel cells. The site also uses combined heat and power production to maximize efficiency. When more energy is produced than consumed, the surplus can be offered to the national electricity transmission grid operator Fingrid.
"The project uses the latest micro grid technology solutions to balance and secure energy production in the area," says Thomas Zimmermann, CEO Digital Grids at Siemens Energy Management. "The combination of advanced control, distributed grid architecture and assets in form of microgrids will ensure the grid is operated as reliably, resiliently, and efficiently as possible."
Siemens will use its SICAM Microgrid Controller, which ensure reliable monitoring and controlling as well as blackout protection, and EnergyIP DEMS, which allows aggregation of decentralized energy system to provide ancillary service for utilities or trade energy in intraday market.
The LEMENE project is a key project for Finland with backing from the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Employment (MEAE).

R.E.M. – "We All Go Back To Where We Belong"
This is a new tune from R.E.M., and it's probably the last. Since I've never been a huge fan, I was surprised by how much I really like this song. And how about the video? It's just Kirsten Dunst, listening to the song…seemingly for the first time. Simple. Makes you listen more intently. Beautiful. Farewell to a very talented and influential band.

On Saturday afternoon, the Boston Bruins looked to improve on their recent two-game winning streak when they welcomed Alex Ovechkin and the Washington Capitals to town for a showdown at the TD Garden.
Things didn't begin well for the Black and Gold as the Caps took control of the play for the first half of the game's opening frame. Washington jumped ahead 1-0 at the 7:50 mark when Russian enigma Alexander Semin corralled a Karl Alzner rebound and shoveled it into an open goal.
A mere twenty-five seconds later, things would go from bad to worse for Boston as the Capitals would add another tally to make it 2-0 only eight minutes into the game. It was former Bruins' prospect Matt Hendricks who would out-work two B's defenseman in front of goaltender Tim Thomas and poke home his 4th of the season.
After playing a spectacular first period, Caps' netminder Tomas Vokoun let a Milan Lucic wrister slip through the wickets with only five seconds left on the clock. Lucic's 23rd of the season would cut the deficit to one as the teams made their way to the dressing rooms.
Washington accounted for 12 of the game's first 15 shots on goal, but the B's were able to pick up some steam towards the end of the frame, registering 10 of the final 11 shots on net.

The report looked at wind, solar and geothermal energy, as well as energy from biofuels, like sugarcane. It did not take nuclear energy or hydropower into account when calculating renewable energy capacity.
While the falling cost of solar and wind power drove the increase, renewables also got a bump from new investment by private companies and national governments, according to the report. Overall, investment in renewables hit $286 billion in 2015, up from $273 billion the previous year.
Wind and solar accounted for a majority of new renewable energy projects in 2015. The world's solar capacity has been growing steadily for a decade, and last year saw the biggest leap in new solar capacity ever.

Our cats' kidneys are responsible for filtering blood, which helps maintain healthy blood pressure, stimulates the bone marrow to make more red blood cells, and much more. These two small, bean-shaped organs are essential to the life of our feline companions. What though, happens when our older cats' bodies stop working as they used to and how can we keep our cats comfortable throughout their older years?

Kidney (Renal) Disease in Cats
Although some cats are born with kidney problems, what I'm focusing on today is Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD). CKD is the persistent loss of kidney function over time and is very common in older and even middle-aged cats.
Symptoms of Kidney Disease in Cats Include:
- Frequent urination, bloody urine, or cloudy urine.
- Excessive thirst.
- Weight loss or loss of appetite.
- Stomach issues such as vomiting, constipation, or diarrhea.
- Recurring bladder or kidney infections.
- Mouth ulcers or a dull brownish-colored tongue.
- Bad breath. It may smell like ammonia or urine.
- Dry skin, coat, or eyes.
- Weakness, irritability, or fatigue.
The only definitive way to know if your cat has kidney disease is to have her evaluated by a veterinarian who can run tests to diagnose the problem. Cats under 7 need an annual vet wellness visit and cats over 7 will require bi-annual visits. The sooner CKD is diagnosed, the better the prognosis. CKD cannot yet be cured, but treatment can prolong life.
Home Care for a Cat with Kidney Disease
In addition to seeking help from your veterinarian for kidney treatments, there are things that you can do to make your feline have a better quality of life.
Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate! Drinking a healthy amount of water will help your cats' urinary tract, including the kidneys. Encouraging your cat to drink is one of the best things that you can do for her. My cat Olivia is a bit of a water bowl snob, so I've had to get creative to keep her hydrated. What works best for her is the Catit Flower Fountain.
From a scientific standpoint, cats are more inclined to drink from moving water. This is because of their natural instincts. In the wild, moving water is usually cleaner than stagnant water, so using a fountain rather than a bowl will encourage her to drink!
In addition, the Catit Flower Fountain uses a special filtration system to keep their water clean and healthy for your kitty.
Protect against accidents. Your cat may lose control over her bladder as CKD advances. Placing Training Pads down in her favorite areas can help soak up her potential accidents, making clean-up less of a hassle for you. Training pads are marketed for dogs but work well for felines too.
In fact, even though my cat doesn't have CKD, I often buy large training pads to put under the litter box because sometimes Olivia "misses the box" and pees just outside it. Find more litter box hacks here.
Add a renal supplement to your cats' daily routine. Vetoquinol Renal K+ Potassium Supplement Gel is a great option. It comes in a tasty, maple-flavored gel to support normal renal health in cats and dogs. I personally prefer supplements, like this one, or ones that are disguised as a treat. Olivia always refuses pills even if they are hidden in food. If your kitty is this same, then try this gel supplement.
Choose a kidney healthy diet. Some cat food brands have formulas that are specially created for cats with kidney problems or for older cats in general.
Best Senior Food for Cats with Kidney Disease
Purina Pro Plan PRIME PLUS Senior 7+ Adult Dry Cat Food is one of my go-to suggestions for senior cats in general because it provides healthy vitamins and minerals older cats need such as vitamin E and omega-3 fatty acids from fish oil.
Purina Pro Plan FOCUS Urinary Tract Health Adult Wet and Dry Food is a great option for a cat that you suspect is beginning to have renal issues. It's designed to help maintain cats' urinary tract health by reducing urinary pH and providing low dietary magnesium.
Blue Buffalo Natural Veterinary Diet K+M Kidney + Mobility Support Grain-Free Dry Cat Food or Wet Canned Cat Food is made with controlled levels of sodium and protein to help manage your cats' kidney workload. You'll need a prescription for these Blue Buffalo foods, but a diet prescription is easy to obtain. Simply place your order with Chewy.com and they'll reach out to your veterinarian for approval.
Extra Care & Attention for Your Senior Cat
Remember that your older cat will have increased aches and pains as they age further, so be extra caring to them. This is especially true if they have health issues such as CKD. Even in their senior years though, cats still have a lot of love and companionship to exchange!

The Beatles : Imagine
The Beatles
- Imagine
Group: The Beatles
The Beatles were an English rock band, formed in Liverpool in 1960, and one of the most commercially successful and critically acclaimed acts in the history of popular music.[1] From 1962 the group consisted of John Lennon (rhythm guitar, vocals), Paul McCartney (bass guitar, vocals), George Harrison (lead guitar, vocals) and Ringo Starr (drums, vocals). Rooted in skiffle and 1950s rock and roll, the group later worked in many genres ranging from pop ballads to psychedelic rock, often incorporating classical and other elements in innovative ways. The nature of their enormous popularity, which first emerged as the "Beatlemania" fad, transformed as their songwriting grew in sophistication. The group came to be perceived as the embodiment of progressive ideals, seeing their influence extend into the social and cultural revolutions of the 1960s.

Imagine there's no Heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today
Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace
You may say that I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one
Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world
You may say that I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one

President Trump on Thursday reversed an Obama-era rule aimed at blocking coal-mining operations from dumping waste into nearby waterways, while House Republicans passed two bills that would nullify regulations affecting federal funding for Planned Parenthood and hunting activities on national wildlife refuges in Alaska.
The push to overturn rules adopted in the final months of the Obama administration — Trump has wiped two of them off the books this week, and is poised to do the same to several more in the months ahead — highlights the extent to which Republicans are determined to deliver for some of the key constituencies that backed their electoral victory in November.
Sitting in the Roosevelt Room, with House Republicans on his left and West Virginia coal miners sporting hard hats on his right, the president said signing the bill would "eliminate another terrible job-killing rule saving many thousands of American jobs, especially in the mines, which I've been promising you.
"The miners are a big deal; I've had support from some of these folks right from the very beginning and I won't forget it," he added, referring to his presidential campaign. "We went to West Virginia and we had 17, 18,000 people and they couldn't get into that big arena."
The regulatory impact analysis that accompanied the original rule estimated it would generate more jobs than it would cost, because while roughly 124 full-time jobs annually in areas where coal production was falling, it would generate 280 full-time jobs "needed to comply with the rule where mining remains profitable" each year.
Mining companies and antiabortion rights groups hailed Republicans' swift action, saying the changes would generate jobs and allow state officials to adopt policies more in line with their own ideological outlook. But Democrats and other proponents of the rules argued that by stripping the federal protections enacted under President Obama, Washington's new political class was simply imposing its views on Americans in place of the previous one.
Lawmakers are using the 1996 Congressional Review Act (CRA), which allows them to reverse any regulations by a majority vote within 60 days of enactment — if they can get the president's backing. House Republicans have introduced 39 such measures and passed 13 of them; two of them have become law and a third is awaiting Trump's signature.
[Trump embarks on the most ambitious regulatory rollback in a generation]
Surface-mining firms had fought against the stream buffer rule, which the Interior Department estimated would have safeguarded 6,000 miles of streams and 52,000 acres of forests, on the grounds that it was too costly. In a written statement, Murray Energy President and CEO Robert E. Murray, who had sued to block the rule, praised Trump for overturning what he called "the single greatest threat to the jobs and family livelihoods of our employees that I have seen in my sixty (60) years of coal mining experience."
But Ron Short, a resident of Duffield, Va., and a member of the group Southern Appalachian Mountain Stewards, said eliminating the regulation would do nothing to bring coal jobs back to the area where he lives.
"For all my life, the coal economy has ruled this region and its people," Short said. "Now we are facing the demise of the coal industry, and we must save the valuable natural resources that we have left if we are ever to develop cultural tourism and ecotourism as important parts of a new economy that works for everyone."
Environmental groups were equally outraged about a resolution that passed the House on Thursday 225 to 193, which would nullify a rule the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service finalized in August that barred Alaska's Board of Game from using certain predator control tactics on national wildlife refuges. Those practices include killing mother bears and cubs as well as denning wolves and pups, along with trapping, baiting and aerial shooting.
"Is running roughshod over public lands and targeting mother bears and wolves and their young on lands specifically set aside as wildlife refuges really a priority for legislators given the many challenges facing our country?" Jamie Rappaport Clark, president of the Defenders of Wildlife, said in a statement.
But Rep. Don Young (R-Alaska), the bill's sponsor, said on the House floor Thursday that the previous administration had been "governing by interest groups" and was more concerned about animal welfare advocates than Alaska residents.
"I'm speaking for the people of my state, not the people of Virginia," he said, after Rep. Don Beyer (D-Va.) defended the rule.
A few minutes later, the two parties sparred over a resolution nullifying a Health and Human Services rule that instructed states they could not withhold federal family-planning funds from providers if they were qualified to provide care. The measure would allow states to divert federal money from Planned Parenthood — which serves more than a third of the roughly 4 million Americans who receive benefits through the Title X program — to community health clinics.
Rep. Martha Roby (R-Ala.) said that she is not opposed to poor women getting federal aid for family planning services, "But why is it necessary for those services to be provided at the nation's largest abortion provider?
"There's a reason people call this rule President Obama's parting gift to Planned Parenthood," she said.
But Rep. Jackie Speier (D-Calif.) said the resolution, which passed 230 to 188, would make it harder for low-income Americans to get medical care, even though Planned Parenthood doesn't use any federal funds to perform abortions.
"What my colleagues on the other side of the aisle are saying is, 'We just want to make sure that Planned Parenthood doesn't get a dime.' "

My child Dylan handed me his "Letter to the Editor" task. I had actually asked him to compose a letter to a publication revealing a viewpoint on something he was enthusiastic about. I believed he would blog about "Why Kids Should Play Video Games Every Day." Exactly what he composed took me by surprise. We have actually spoken about ADHD a lot together, so I understand he frets that individuals believe he's an evildoer. He in some cases frets that I believe he's an enemy.
When I read his letter, I wept. I asked him if he wished to share the letter with the mothers and fathers who check out this kind of websites. He stated, "Sure! I wish to share it with the world! I desire individuals to understand how I feel!" So here it is.
Dear Editor,
Why do some individuals believe kids with ADHD are bad? Kids with ADHD aren't bad; they simply act impulsively. This indicates they act without thinking. I have ADHD, and my brain that works in a different way than other kids' brains. Some popular individuals have ADHD. If well-known individuals have ADHD, then individuals with ADHD cannot all be bad.
Kids with ADHD in some cases get overactive, makings it difficult for them in school. Kids with ADHD act in a different way than kids without ADHD. Kids with ADHD have slower brainwave activity than other kids, makings it tough for them to focus. The parts of the brain that are impacted by ADHD are the frontal lobes, repressive systems of the cortex, limbic system, and the reticular triggering system. All these are crucial to the brain, particularly the frontal lobes.
In school, kids with ADHD get sidetracked and squirm in their seats. Kids with ADHD are continuously in movement, and can not finish a peaceful job without making sounds. Some kids talk continuously and are extremely restless. It is difficult for them to manage themselves since their limbic system does not operate like other individuals' brains. They require their professors to comprehend that they have actually ADHD so the instructor will not believe that they're disrespectful and ill-mannered.
Educators likewise have to discover ADHD, so they understand that kids aren't opting to act in this manner. They have to speak with them without injuring their sensations, and let them find out in their own method. Homeschooling can be great for a kid with ADHD, due to the fact that he is with individuals who comprehend him and understand the best ways to speak to him.
Kids with ADHD often do not succeed in a location with a great deal of other kids. Huge groups make it harder for kids with ADHD to manage themselves due to the fact that their brain begins getting genuine delighted.
I understand these things due to the fact that I have ADHD. The condition makes you look like you are impolite and ill-mannered to other individuals, which can make moms and dads believe that their kids should not be around you. I desire kids to believe that I am simply an individual with a various type of brain, not an evildoer. I believe I am a great individual due to the fact that I appreciate others, I'm amusing, and I'm clever.
ADHD makes it difficult for me to make buddies, however I desire individuals to comprehend me. I hope this letter will assist somebody with ADHD comprehend that they're not the only individual with ADHD, which they are not an enemy.
