A good tip for people who are looking to get back into shape is to forget about what other people think. Often times, people are self conscious about their body's but you should recognize that everyone in the gym is trying to look better just like you are, so relax.
Before you begin squatting heavy weight, you must practice squatting with proper form. First, you should stand in front of a bench. Then, as you squat down, you should imagine that you are about to sit down. As your butt touches the bench, push back up. Attempt this with a light bar and as you improve gradually increase your weight.
Many people think that by only dieting they will be able to get the body that they want. Other people think that this can be done purely through exercise. The truth is that exercise will help to tone your body, but only a good diet can help to lose the pounds.

When beginning a fitness program it's important not to set your goals too high. You want to start small and work your way up. If you aren't used to exercising then don't commit from the onset to an unattainable goal of an hour a day. Start with fifteen minute blocks and increase as you build endurance.
Tape your fingers up! If you play sports where you are prone to finger injuries, tape two of your fingers together to prevent them from happening. A single finger is much easier to bend at awkward angles. When you add a second into the mix, it is more difficult to move them into the injury zone.
Arrange a neighborhood DVD swap. If you are getting bored with your same old workout DVD, gather some friends and schedule a swap. Every week or two pass your DVD on to your neighbor and receive a new one from another neighbor. This way, you don't have to invest in a whole fitness DVD library, but you can still try out different workouts.
Getting fit doesn't have to cost a lot of money. Leg lifts and sit ups are exercises that build muscle without requiring any equipment other than yourself. 20 oz and 2 liter bottles can easily be used as weights without any additional cost. Be creative and you can get fit without getting broke!
There are three aspects to fitness that need to work in tandem in order to provide you with a healthy lifestyle. Each of these should be worked on and they are mental health, diet and exercise regimen. If you only work on one or two of these you will never reach your goals.
Keeping fitness in your life is wonderful for your mind and body. The tips introduced in this article will help you pursue fitness in an efficient and effective manner. When fitness is incorporated into your lifestyle properly you will be able to get the desired results of your sessions even more.
New Marketing Trend Mobile Marketing
New Marketing Trend. Mobile Marketing
One of the key points to mobile marketing is that the overall success of this type of marketing relies on each individual company that uses it and the ethics that are considered in its implementation. If this peaks your curiosity, then read the rest of the tips included here in this article.
Try to set a budget and stick to it if you want to market effectively. Shooting past your budget can quickly cause your campaign to fall apart, if only because you may start to change how you handle things due to a fear of money. Work meticulously to stay within your budget for mobile marketing success.
New Marketing Trend. Mobile Marketing
If you are deciding to go down a path of mobile marketing for your company, you must make sure that it will work for you. It will work for most businesses as long as you have something to pitch at your customers through the text or call, this way the person will have a reason to come in and buy from you.
Compared with online campaigns that include social networking sites, homepages, and email lists, many companies neglect to actively promote and develop their mobile marketing platforms. The mobile marketing aspect should be given equal emphasis and weight as other approaches. After all, users carry their phones within arm's reach during practically all waking hours. Computers? Not so much.
Make sure your mobile marketing has a clear path to unsubscribing. There are legal ramifications to not having an apparent opt-out on every single piece of mobile and digital marketing, so develop your opt-out system at the same time that you are developing your subscription system. Each system handles this differently, but opt-outs can be done by clicking a hyperlink or by texting a word like 'unsubscribe' to a mobile short code.
Align your mobile marketing campaign with the holidays and big events. Use the holidays to make your marketing campaign sparkle. Use the sporting event to your advantage. Make a special code for everyone to text for a chance to win. Using these events will help to make your business a success.
Text based ads are more effective on mobile platforms than ads using graphics. Download speeds on mobile devices are often much slower than on computers, and downloading large amounts of data can also be costly. Using large graphics files will not only annoy your target audience, the ad might even take too long to download for them to be able to view it.
Remember that text messaging should really be used to retain customers. Customers that already purchase from you are usually more willing to receive direct messaging from you than new ones. Use this to your advantage by offering special deals to current customers. They will feel special from receiving the extra attention.
In conclusion, there is a lot more that goes into mobile marketing than just the concern of your own business. Along with all of the other tips provided, you learned that the success of this type of marketing, relies on everyone who uses it as a whole. Hopefully, this will help guide your use of mobile marketing.
How To Make Video's To Market Your Products
How To Make Video's To Market Your Products
If creative lightning strikes in yur mind and you get a great idea for a video, film it as soon as you can if you have the equipment to do so. Granted, getting either professional equipment or personnel might seem like the best route to take, but such arrangements can take time. Capture the energy and essence of an idea while it is fresh. Even an amateur video with authenticity can outshine something expertly polished.
How To Make Video's To Market Your Products
In today's high-speed world, you must now know how to use different forms of marketing to get your company's name out there. One way to do this is by using video marketing. Even if you are not an expert in video marketing, this article will give you some tips to use this technique for your business.
People love competition, which is why holding a video contest is such a great marketing strategy. Ask viewers to create their own videos and then have everyone vote on them. This will help drive viewers to your site and energize them by giving them a chance to win something.
Make sure that your videos are promoted in a two-fold fashion. Let your existing core audience know that new content is up, via your blog and email or newsletter list. However, also make sure to promote it to new readers through social media posts and search engine optimization techniques within your budget.
How To Make Video's To Market Your Products
When making videos for marketing purposes, it is a good idea for you to talk to your audience honestly. If people get the idea that the only thing on your mind is making a profit, that will make them more likely to do business elsewhere. While there is nothing wrong with wanting to turn a profit, you must always think of your customers first.
To succeed at video marketing you must keep your videos short. The Internet is an entirely user controlled, fast paced environment. Potential customers are simply not going to sit through a long 30 second advertisement. To get as many views as possible, make entertaining videos that are short and to the point.
If you can include your website URL in your video, do so. If viewers find your video interesting, they will want to know where they can go for more information. You can put your website name in as a caption, annotation or just say the name of your website a few times during the video.
Use other people such as guest speakers on your site and in your videos. As interesting as you might be, your viewers will really appreciate seeing a fresh new face. Make sure that whoever you have in your videos reflects the kind of message you want to send to your viewers.
How To Make Video's To Market Your Products
Videos which are unpredictable work. If you can do something in your video which is surprising and yet not cheesy or lame, you'll catch your viewer and they'll share the video with family and friends. Go with cute, shocking or funny and avoid gory or juvenile humor as much as possible.
Before beginning any video, plan out what you are going to say to your viewers. Most video marketers say that if you can develop your introduction and closing of a video, the rest of the video will go smoothly. Begin any video by introducing yourself and your company. End each video with a call to action to visit your website.
As you can tell, video marketing is not quite as hard as you might have expected. With the knowledge you learned from this article, you should now know how to use videos to really help get your name out there. Get started and watch your business grow to the size you have always wanted!

FIVE MINUTES. That's all it took for my wonderful wholemeal buns to go from crisp and golden to extra crisp and charcoal. You don't know frustration utnil you've spent more than 2 hours carefully making some buns — and they turned out pretty good — only to answer a phone call, leaving them FIVE MINUTES longer in the oven (it was switched off, mind you), only to come back and see them in with black tops.
GREAT. Now what do I do with 9 blackened buns? I didn't include pictures of the disaster buns because … well they were just too ugly. First I scrapped off the tops. They looked less ominous but still unpresentable. Buns must have smooth rounded tops not scraggly, uneven flat tops. So I thought, as small as they were, I'd scoop out the middles and fill them with soup. Kinda a bread bowlette (I am making up words as I go along).
Tomato soup was what I deemed suitable. It's easy to make and delicious with bread and some cheese. Plus I had lotsa tomatoes which were ripening fast.
Let me not kid you. The buns were way to small to be bowls and could only hold three spoons of soup. However, topped with some mozerella and grilled in the oven for 7 mins, they came out really well. The soup thickened and the cheese melted and the bread softened. You needn't scoop the meagre soup out; you could bite into the bun which had become a tomato -cheese filled wholemeal bun. He he he.
Because I wanted to melt the cheese over the soup, I opted not to make a creamy tomato soup. By the way, if you want a creamy soup, try Jamie Oliver's ... it's fantastic. My clear soup was pretty easy to put together.

Margaret Atwood & the Happy Face Killer
"Men are afraid that women will laugh at them. Women are afraid that men will kill them."
― Margaret Atwood
Margaret Atwood was born November 18, and is a poet, novelist, literary critic, essayist, inventor, teacher and environmental activist. Among the seventeen books of poetry, sixteen novels, ten books of non-fiction, eight collections of short fiction, eight children's books, and one graphic novel, Atwood is perhaps best known at the moment for her novel, "The Handmaid's Tale" and it's adaptation as a tv series with Hulu.
There are a number of reasons why the quote at the top is relevant today, and tomorrow there will be even more examples. Whether that means another shooting at a yoga studio, or a rapist gets off because of his victim's clothing, or a rapist who let his victim die while he played video games gets off because he had no prior record, or, or, or, or…..
While its become one of the more popular and visible Atwood quotes, I thought to share it since it was fresh in my mind because of a podcast I've been listening to, 'Happy Face'.
It's produced by the daughter of the Happy Face Killer, Keith Jesperson, who raped and murdered eight women, and only turned himself in because two other people had been convicted of his crimes. He wanted the credit. While in prison Jesperson did interviews and spoke calmly and thoroughly about his victims, about how he raped and murdered each woman, and how he disposed of their bodies. And he spoke about how it was ultimately their fault he killed them. If only she hadn't spoken that way about men, if only she hadn't provoked him, if only she hadn't made him do it.
If only she hadn't laughed.
Listening to "Slow Burn"
Chuck Grassley once wore a "Free Lisa Myers" button to pressure NBC in 1999 to air an interview with Juanita Broaddrick about her twenty year old allegations against Bill Clinton. It's interesting how the search for truth regarding decades old allegations and the standards the Republican Party and their supporters choose to apply can shift so dramatically. Grassley clearly demonstrated his party's malleable morals with his complete disinterest investigating allegations against Brett Kavanaugh, while Juanita Broaddrick openly discounted Christine Blasey Ford's testimony. But these details about recent events are not the most intriguing moments in the final episode of the second season of 'Slow Burn.'
Episode 8, "Move On", was a fascinating and disturbing episode from 'Slow Burn', one of the best podcasts around. The first season is about Watergate, the second is on the Clinton-Lewinsky scandal, and you need to go listen to both. They're both a shocking look into how history repeats itself, especially when those who made that history are still in power and allowed to manipulate the course of society and politics.
The first season of 'Slow Burn' focused on Watergate and was shocking in everything that I had never learned went on. I was born a decade after Watergate and only knew the general bullet points; the break-in, the secret tapes, Woodward and Bernstein, looming impeachment, resignation, Roach from 'Point Break' wearing a Nixon mask and yelling, "I am not a crook" while the Ex-Presidents rob a bank.
Leon Neyfakh goes much farther beyond that, introducing us to Martha Mitchell and Wright Pattman, as well as the team behind the special prosecutors looking into the whole thing, and ties the events of the 1970s to what is happening today.
But where season one introduced a wealth of previously overlooked or forgotten facts, season two was fascinating in how it rewrote what I thought I knew and how the people involved have been portrayed.
It also demonstrates the hypocrisy of the Republican Party, and probably the Democrats too for that matter, and reinforces the idea that when it comes to politicians and those in power, it's never about the crime or allegations, and it isn't about justice for the victim or a platform for truth. It seems instead to come down to whatever is convenient to maintaining their grasp on power, even if it means Chuck Grassley has to hide his Lisa Myers button.
Remembering Joseph Mitchell
Joseph Mitchell was born July 27, 1908 and defined the spirit of New York City with his many interviews, profiles and intimate conversations with the men and women who truly built the city, brick and soul, in the 20th century.
Like Gay Talease, Mitchell reinvented journalism and did so by giving voice to the butcher, bartender and street sweeper; invigorating working class pride and putting the true unbreakable spirit of everyday people in the pages of countless magazines and newspapers.

Intermission DurationEdit
Episodes 410-412, 3 episodes
Summary Edit
Episode # 410 details The GM's notes for the fantasy campaign he played with Jim, Ben, and Pete. (It's The Princess Bride.)
Episode # 411 replays the scene where Ben has contacted the players and the Jedi Council from Geonosis reporting on the clone army. In this episode the players speculate that because this campaign has both clones and shapeshifters, anybody they meet could be a shapeshifter clone. This causes practically the entire Jedi Council and Senators hearing Ben's message to admit that they're all shapeshifter clones.
Episode # 412 replays the scene where Count Dooku confronts Ben while Ben is trapped in the energy matrix. In this episode, Ben is distracted because he recognizes the miniature figurine the GM's using to represent Dooku as the same figurine that was used to represent a minor boss evil wizard in a fantasy campaign Ben had played years earlier (a reference to the fact that Count Dooku was played by Christopher Lee, the same actor who played Saruman in the Lord of the Rings film trilogy).

The daily sessions have begun!
I've just completed a powerful clearing and abundance session. I am told this extended out to some 13,400 odd people, including everyone on the Youtube subscriber list and their families.
Everything at its core is energy. We have the ability to tune into it, clear it, create it, destroy it, even communicate with it.
In this session, I tune in and clear dark, stagnant, negative energies from:
Additionally, I remove:
Following the clearing, I attune you to love and above energies, divine harmony, peace, joy and bliss. The session is completed with a 'Shub Lhab' session, which attunes you to the abundance energies of nature. When we are in harmony with nature, miracles begin to happen.
Those that are sensitive to energetic changes may feel shifts beginning to happen. If you cannot feel energy, not to worry. Just know that positive changes are already in motion. You may feel more emotional at times, even have flu like symptoms briefly. This is the body physically removing the toxins, plus, the stored emotional energy leaving the body.
As with any energy work, please increase the consumption of fresh water, and decrease the intake of any food or liquids that increase acidity in the body.
The sessions will continue indefinitely, daily, wherever I am in the world.
Stay blessed!

4/7/2016 02:50:09 pm
Hey Shiva thanks for doing this. I dont know if there is much change happening right now. Am doing the April Challenge and finding that the last phew days I have slowed down with only trying to get a couple trades. I haven't seen much that looks like good patterns and am lucky to even get one trade in. I would say that I am feeling a bit concerned will I get this, will I be able to find trades and earn an income.

Hey Brad, the markets have been somewhat strange these last few days. Trade only what is familiar. Keep demoing until it becomes easier. Don't give up, mate.
Marco Sousa
4/7/2016 03:56:32 pm
Never give up Brad, please see again and again the last EMA6 Shiva's video until you memorize all the steps, then DEMO like hell until you feel you are very confident. If you do this you will see big changes about the way you trade ( when you take a trade you know that's ITM).

On Sunday morning I was awakened at quarter 'til seven by Katie coughing. The first thing my brain said to me was "OHNO!" and then as I leapt out of bed the sound of Katie getting sick confirmed my suspicion, the tummy flu. Katie has had the tummy flu a couple of times before but the most she had ever thrown up was three times so I wasn't prepared for the record breaking 27 times in 24 hours! My poor little girl! She went through all of her pj's and all of our blankies at least twice! I have done so much laundry these past three days! The poor girl couldn't keep a thing down all day Sunday, not even Pedialite. I was afraid she would dehydrate which I know I did when I was little and had the flu but a little of the pedialite/apple juice must have stayed because she went potty that night. I have never been so relieved to have someone go potty in my whole life! This may sound silly but I put her in the bath for about an hour because I wanted to try and give her something to eat but didn't want to go through another batch of blankets, so I put her in the bathtub with a little piece of plain cake doughnut. I have never seen anything so sad in my life! She was trembling when she took the piece of doughnut and was so desperately hungry that she put the whole thing in her mouth and then made little happy sounds as she chewed and drank some Pedialite! Sad! I let her sit in the tub for about an hour during which time she did not get sick. I got her out of the tub, got her dressed, dried her hair, got her tucked back on the couch and then of course she threw up! The last time she got sick was 9:00 Monday morning and today she's acting more like her usual self so I think we're in the clear!
Abby was a good girl during Katie's whole sickness and was very curious about the whole throwing up thing. She was very loving to Katie and would pat Katie's back and give her kisses every once and while. She wasn't quite sure why Katie wasn't getting up off the couch but she sure enjoyed having all the toys to herself! She was very jealous of Katie's frequent bath's ( I gave her three because it seemed to settle her tummy) and was overjoyed when I let her take one too! I figured since Abby had played in the sick bowl (I rinsed it out after every time Katie got sick but still, icky!) sharing a bath with Katie couldn't hurt!
Joel was a very good Daddy and even though he too had tummy pains and bone aches went out to the store and bought Pedialite and apple juice. He even went the extra mile and rented Katie a movie (Snoopy Come Home), bought a little Princess Aurora doll, some plain doughnuts, bakery bread, and got me ice cream! What a thoughtful man! Katie loves her little dolly and has been playing with her nonstop! While Joel was gone to the store Katie decided she was going to go play, so I let her crawl off the couch to see what she would do. She crawled onto the little blue quilt that she likes to have when she's sick and laid on it! So sad! She was there when Joel got home and if you look at her hand she is holding Princess Aurora in her hand! After she fell asleep I moved her back to the couch but I had to get a picture first! By the way, the pumpkin she has in the pictures we bought her at JoAnn Fabrics for being a very good girl while we ran all over place shopping. Recently we've taken her places without her stroller and if she's a good girl and doesn't touch anything and listens to us, we get her something small as a reward. :)
So that is how I've spent the past few days, seems like more time has passed since she got sick than just two days! She's fine now and only had to lay on the couch for about twenty minutes because her "tummy was a little icky". Abby shows no sign of being ill and I really hope that lasts!
The day after tomorrow my brother his wife and their two boys will be here for a nice visit! Yay! We can hardly wait!

UCDAR Background
The UC Davis Arab Region (UCDAR) Consortium is a partnership between UC Davis and 5 international universities in the Arab region: American University of Beirut (AUB), the American University in Cairo (AUC), the American University of Sharjah (AUS), Birzeit University, and Lebanese American University (LAU). The UCDAR Consortium is housed in Global Affairs at the University of California, Davis. The Consortium pursues interdisciplinary collaborative research, faculty and student exchanges, teaching, and university activities across all disciplines. Current Projects include: Mapping Knowledge Production of Women & Gender in the Arab region; Gendering STEM Education; Water-Energy-Food Nexus; and the Sustainability Research and Training Program (SRTP).
The Consortium was founded in 2001 and is chaired by Dr. Suad Joseph, Distinguished Professor, Anthropology and Gender, Sexuality & Women's Studies, at UC Davis.
The UCDAR Consortium was formalized in March 2007, with an agreement signed by the Presidents, Chancellors, and Provosts of the partner universities in Cairo. The agreement was renewed in 2012 for two years and again in 2014 for five years. In 2015, the American University of Sharjah joined as the sixth member of the Consortium and the Consortium agreement was updated and extended to 2020.
The UCDAR Consortium was previously called the BCBCB Consortium, referring to the first letter of each of the locations of first five university partners (Beirut, Cairo, Beirut, California, Birzeit). In April, 2017 the names was changed to fully reflect the identity and value of this collaboration. "Dar" means house in Arabic. The new name reflects the Consortium members coming together under a shared roof.

- This polygon layer represents Census Tracts, which are aggregations of Census Blocks, the finest resolution of geographic boundary data developed by the U.S. Census Bureau for the 2000 Decennial Census (see the CENSUS2000BLOCKS_POLY layer). Each Tract is assigned a census tract number in the Census' Topologically Integrated Geographic Encoding and Referencing System (TIGER) files which is used to reference tabular data published by the Census Bureau. MassGIS has extracted and reprocessed data from the original TIGER files for use with its other data. Processing included import of the original data with the ArcInfo TIGERTOOL command, projection to the Massachusetts State Plane (NAD83 Meters) Coordinate system, and modification of the attribute table. Tracts were dissolved on the CT_ID field to produce the Census Tract geography. MassGIS makes two versions available: - CENSUS2000TRACTS_POLY (offshore, zero-population polygons were removed to present the appearance a coastline for display purposes); - CENSUS2000TRACTS_POLY_ORIG (all polygons from original data are preserved).

Thanks, Julia! I really enjoyed this. What a fun block!ReplyDelete
What a great tutorial! I always like to watch Jenny explain her quilting; but this is so lovely; also in other prints!!ReplyDelete
Thanks for pointing this one out!
Greetz from the Netherlands, Ria.
I love this Julia, thanks so much for posting. What an awesome quilt that will make. The possibilites are endless!!!!ReplyDelete
Thanks Julia. What a fabulous block..ReplyDelete
I saw that video and am really tempted.ReplyDelete
Thanks Julia, I hope I file it somewhere that I can find it again!ReplyDelete
My problem with this method is that you end up with the diagonal of the fabric on the outside of the block. It stretches.ReplyDelete
Karen - I have made this block as well as many others that have bias edges. The secret is not to iron like clothing but gently press along the seams avoiding the bias edges. My blocks have come out perfectReplyDelete
Thank you for coming by..I love and appreciate getting your comments, and I am thankful for my loyal followers...but please don't tag me...♥

Creative Humans - Elizabeth Amento
Lately, people have started asking me where I find the creative humans to feature on my journal. Mostly, it is via friends, networking and through social media. This time however, I was drawn to an interview that I read from one of my favourite Australian magazines, Frankie. I saw pictures of the most vibrant and alluring pieces of mixed media art. They were so full of colour, so bright and splashy and fun. I was instantly hooked. I became even more so when I realised that the artist, Elizabeth Amento, lived in the Mission District of San Francisco. That was that. I had to meet her. Thankfully, Elizabeth said yes. I was a little late (I got side tracked by the endless delicious Mission food options) but eventually made my way to Elizabeth's apartment. The afternoon was chilly and dull - apparently quite normal for a San Francisco summer afternoon. As soon as I met Elizabeth, she welcomed me into her studio/home, gave me a tour of her brilliant paintings and the gouache paint she uses to create them, introduced me to her loves - her plants, and pointed out the view of Bernal Heights Park from her back porch. Her hallway, with it's twinkling lights and her bedroom with it's splashes of vintage orange made me quickly forget the much duller day outside. It turns out that Elizabeth is just as colourful and fun as her paintings. My day instantly became brighter - and I was so glad that I stumbled across the Frankie article and the streets of the Mission to find Elizabeth and her beautiful work.
What projects are you currently working on?
Right now, I have a few small collages I am working on. I have been away from them for a bit, but I have plans for them, so I am excited to get back to work on them. I also have a couple big pieces that I have been slowly adding to for awhile, so I really need to tackle those. After that I am excited to dig through my magazines for new material again. I like to work in a series. It helps me not put too much pressure on one piece. I can let the paint dry, step away and think about the overall composition.
Where do you draw your creative inspiration from?
Color combinations I observe in daily life. As well as my current emotional state and how the personal relationships I am in are affecting it. Through seeing potential in possible failures, I am inspired to try new things in my work, new shapes, layers and compositions.
Why a visual artist?
It's hard not to be at this point. Solving problems creatively is the way my mind works. With my paintings, in my studio, I can entertain myself tackling the next project. I also hope I am adding some color to the world.
Do you listen to music while you work? If so, would you be so kind to share some of your favourite artists?
I always listen to music while I work. I use Spotify to explore new artists, but I often return to my classics, Fleetwood Mac, Van Morrison, The Rolling Stones.
Do you have a morning ritual?
Lately, I wake up by checking on my plants to see how the new succulents I started are taking off. Then get coffee on the way to work, which is close, a 20 min walk so that's great. I like taking different routes to work, but really enjoy certain ones. Shotwell Street for example, has some very pretty houses.
What's your idea of a perfect Friday night?
For me, a great time is a balance of having plans while being open to surprises.
If you could travel anywhere in the world, where would you go?
I love the act of traveling, moving, of watching the world pass by the car or train window. I could list off some beautiful places, but really I could go anywhere when I have great company and can make it an adventure.
Best piece of advice you've ever given or been given?
That a lot people will give you advice, remember you don't have to always take it.
What's for dinner?
Tacos from one of the many places in my neighborhood.
The best part about being a creative?
There's always something to work on!
The worst part?
The anxieties and insecurities.
Day or Night?
Old or new?
A modern take on vintage.
City or Country?
City, but being able to escape to the country.
Coffee or Tea?
Coffee in the morning. Tea at night.
What do you enjoy most about living in San Francisco?
It's beautiful and friendly. Also there is always something to do. People are laid back but really passionate about their projects.
Thoughts for the future:
Always try to improve.

A couple weeks ago outside the Senate chambers at the Capitol, a colleague introduced me to a lobbyist and a board member with the Bicycle Alliance of Minnesota (BikeMN). While I do not belong on two wheels, I have great respect for those who bike and bike well. And, I am a fan of BikeMN's efforts to educate the public about bicycle safety.
What I didn't expect was to hear a story about how they're providing services to people who are homeless.
BikeMN's outreach, said the board member, is usually directed at people who ride recreationally or have a choice regarding their transportation. But many people don't ride by choice; because of their income, they must bike … or walk.
So BikeMN figured Project Homeless Connect would be a great opportunity to reach an underserved population. While their original intent was to some kind of education about bike laws and rights, they found the demand was really for fixing bicycles and teaching people how to fix their own bicycles. These bikes are left outside all year and are ridden daily in all types of weather. In other words, they're in pretty rough shape.
In 2011, the first year, just a few volunteers attended. They experienced a big learning curve – despite working as fast as they could for 5 hours they couldn't keep on top of the demand. Limited by people and supplies, that handful of people could only do very basic fixes on as many bikes as possible. They estimate that they fixed 30 or 40 bicycles that year.
Last year, they planned ahead. They got help from The Hub Bike Co-op. Having additional experienced mechanics and more volunteers on hand was a huge plus. But despite having more people, it seemed as hard as the previous year – more bikes and greater repairs required. In 2012, they fixed 50 or 60 bicycles and repaired one cable on a walker.
For a more complete take on the 2012 experience, check out a BikeMN blog post on the event.
That day at the Capitol as I was getting ready to say goodbye, the lobbyist extended his hand and thanked me for my work. He said something that really stuck with me: "Someday, may everyone who wants a bike have one and may everyone who needs a home have one as well." Two wheels and a key are not a lot to ask to make a life more livable.

As a young reporter with the New York Evening Journal, John Hohenberg covered the controversial "trial of the century" in which Bruno Richard Hauptmann was tried and sentenced to death for the murder of Charles Lindbergh's son. Hohenberg later returned to the Journalism School, where he became a legendary professor and an administrator of the Pulitzer Prizes.
The New York Evening Journal – February 14, 1935
"Flares Gleam as 10,000 Cheer Death Verdict"
By John Hohenberg
FLEMINGTON, Feb. 11 – The Main Street that sprang into being under the fierce white light of a thousand flares, that resounded in the wolfish cries of close-packed throngs impatiently awaiting a death chair verdict, that heard a great bell mournfully tolling the knell of a murderer—that Main Street vanished today.
In its place remained a drab and dirty thread of concrete flanked by a few rambling old buildings and small, stuffy shops—the sparsely populated Main Street Flemington always has known.
Bruno Richard Hauptmann's arrest brought a new, wild, throbbing spirit to the little thoroughfare, and with Hauptmann under sentence of death that spirit also died.
But Main Street had its hour last night—an hour that will never be forgotten in this old town, and an hour that will never come again to any of its 2,700 souls.
All through the day a black and spattered cavalcade of automobiles from all parts of the State had poured sensation-seekers into Flemington.
And all through the early evening some 10,000 persons had waited with grim patience in front of the century-old Hunterdon County Courthouse.
Discouraging rumors seeped from the closely guarded courtroom, but minute by minute the crowds pressed forward until it had almost engulfed the sparse blue-coated army of State troopers desperately trying to hold their ground.
They would not believe the jury had been locked up for the night. They could not believe, after more than 11 hours, that the jury would return anything less than a verdict of guilty of murder in the first degree.
This, then, was the night that was to wipe out that other night of March 1, 1932, when the world was aghast at the news that the infant son of Col. Charles A. Lindbergh had been kidnapped.
This was the death watch.
This was retribution.
The first sign that something was afoot came when a few newspapermen, snatching a hasty meal at the Union Hotel, dashed from their supper tables and, hatless and coatless, fought their way to the courthouse door.
Restlessly, silent, the crowds stirred. Here and there a spectator shouted. Nerves were on edge. Even the iron resolution of the morbid cracked.
Then suddenly, like the thunderous crack of sledge hammer on a stout black anvil, the bell in the slender steeple of the courthouse clanged its warning with solemn, measured strokes.
"The bell!" came a hundred cries. "The bell! The bell!"
State troopers put their heads down and mowed a path through the waiting thousands—a path down which attorneys for the defense and for the State hurried to hear the verdict.
In a few moments flares burst like glaring daylight over Main St. and a great cheer was heard.
The lights wavered, hissed and leaped higher and higher, etching the wolf-pack into jagged outline, picking eager, grinning faces from the mob, exposing the bitter and unruly passion of the curious.
Another cheer.
A flare spluttered and the night snuffed it out. Another burst with a roar and spattered the ancient courthouse in garish relief. The newsreel operators, straddled atop their trucks, busily ground away at their cameras and the newspaper photographers set off flash after flash as they went about their work.
"Jury's coming," some one yelled. "Jury's coming in."
The cry was taken up and it sped from mouth to mouth. Those in the rear shoved forward and those in the front catapulted themselves into the stalwart and unyielding line of State troopers.
"Judge is on the bench" came the word. "Judge is on the bench."
The pack fairly shivered with apprehension. Suppose, each asked his neighbor, just suppose they let him go. Suppose, just suppose, they only give him life.
But the pack might as well have saved its fears.
In two minutes the verdict arrived.
Feet trampled the courthouse stairs in mighty confusion. Voices roared requiem inside the closed doors. At a front window a disheveled figure bent over a radio microphone, yelled and gestured, turned away and rushed back, yelling still.
"What is it?" they demanded outside.
And from a point near the courthouse steps the answer rushed back:
"Guilty of first degree murder—death in the electric chair."
All the rest—the polling of the jury, the sentencing—was lost in the throbbing fury of the pack until the courthouse door opened and the figures of four women and eight men, led by State troopers, trailed slowly down the steps.
Once more the pack cheered—not for the work well done that is required of all good citizens—but because its cry had been heard, its demand satisfied.
"I won my bet," a woman squealed.
"Good work," a man shouted at the jurors.
"You put him in the hot seat."
A woman in blue stood in a doorway and wept.
"The poor man," those close by her say. "The poor wife."
The jurors looked neither to the right nor to the left and vanished inside the Union Hotel, where they remained for the night. Soon afterward out came Edward J. Reilly, chief counsel for the defense. Perhaps two hundred wild men tried to follow him.
But others, restraining these brave spirits, yelled:
"Let him go."
There was a lonely shout of "Yea, Reilly," from a man in an automobile.
Another, almost directly in the attorney's path, loudly proclaimed:
"That's the last kidnaping that guy will ever do."
Reilly, too, went on.
The other personages of the trial appeared and were greeted with much the same treatment, whether they had aided the prosecution or the defense. Little by little, the pack that for more than an hour had blocked Main St. completely, dwindled until only a few hundred, still keeping their faithful death watch outside the jail house door, remained.
But in the little shops, the restaurants, the homes and the wayside resorts, the great news was mulled over and over again.
Perhaps the greatest gathering was in "Nellie's Bar," inside the Union Hotel, made famous by newspapermen and taken away from them by the bustling and scratching tourist trade.
The mob in the bar was jammed from one wall to the other. There was laughter. There was song. There were cheers. And more laughter. Glasses were lifted. Toasts drunk.
"We did for Hauptmann!" cried the pack.
And upstairs, just two flights above, a woman member of the jury that had sentenced Hauptmann to die in the chair sobbed her heart out because she had done her duty to her town, her State and her nation.

100% waterproof high visibility LED dog collars
Available in 12 sizes and 8 different colours
The Irish Terrier is a dog breed from Ireland, whose origin is not known. The Irish Terrier, one of many breeds of Terrier, is believed to have descended from the rough haired Fox Terrier. Its selection began only in 1870. The Irish Terrier Club was founded in 1879 and the breed was displayed for the first time in Glasgow in 1920. The Irish Terrier is intelligent and a specialist in hunting rabbits and otters due to its very good sense of smell. Irish Terriers are coloured golden red, red wheaten, or wheaten. The dogs can become large and grow up to 45 cm with a weight of 10 kg.

What do an Israeli soldier and a New York nun have in common? Stealing! Yes, we've got two people who really shouldn't be stealing that are stealing from people you really shouldn't steal from.
First up, Sister Marie Thornton, whom we promise to make absolutely zero bad wordplay jokes. None whatsoever.
Sister Marie apparently managed to spend about $850,000 of Iona College's money far more awesomely than the college would: on gambling trips to Atlantic City. Yeah, we know, that's not really an approved activity for the money of the Catholic Church, but Iona is a college, there's some partying going on anyway, and who safer to party with than a nun? Unfortunately, being a nun instead of an experienced criminal, she simply submitted her expenses as cost invoices, which made figuring out which were less than Lordly pretty easy once the long arm of the law caught up with her.
What's particularly surprising is that Sister Marie managed to get away with ripping off the college for the short span of time of…ten years. And she wasn't caught until 2009, when the college was finally forced to report a theft, but didn't mention who it was or why they did it. Only now, apparently, has the time come for the story to be leaked. We're assuming it's because the story of a nun blowing nearly a million bucks on slots is just too juicy to turn down. After all, these things are important. Before we leave, we just want to offer a statement offered up by her lawyer, and he seriously said this, in public, in front of a microphone:
"I expect us to reach a resolution that all sides will think is fair."
We ran that through the "lawyer" function in Google Translate and it spat out:
"They're throwing her into jail so hard she'll leave a dent in the wall. Eh, whatever, I got paid up front. They won't know it's the embezzled money, right?"
How do you get dumber than stealing from the Catholic Church? Stealing from one of the highest members of the Israeli Defense Forces, namely Lieutenant General Gabi Ashkenazi. And we think stealing his gun is particularly stupid. Gee, you think the hardened professional solider might notice that his sidearm is missing? We're not sure, but that might be more suspicious.
The future stockade resident in question is Lewis Maskota, who did three really stupid things: first, stealing the aforementioned gun. Second, stealing the credit card numbers of a highly placed Israeli armed forces official. Third, selling both to criminals, including weapons dealers, who used them to make purchases. Why'd he do it? He's claiming that he was in major debt, because apparently Israel offers no "not guilty by reason of excessive idiocy" plea.
Apparently, among his punishments is that he's being demoted from colonel to private. Honestly, guys, you sent him to jail for ten years. I think it's safe to just throw him right out of the army.
Unless you're planning on using him for target practice…
- "Nuns on the Run" was an awesome movie, Sister Marie. Not a documentary or a moral guide to life. (CBS News)
- Israeli soldiers decides to commit career, and quite possibly personal, suicide (Reuters)
- Speaking of money, and how it's a gas, the luckiest man in the world accidentally dumped about $6000 of Taiwanese cash into an industrial shredder. Sadly, this was not for SSI Shredding's brilliant series of shredding videos, but an honest accident. Lucky for him, Taiwan has Liu Hui-fen, the "jigsaw expert", a master at assembling things taken apart by various means (think Bones, but Taiwanese, real, and using manners instead of faking Asperger's to be a douche to people). She spent seven days assembling the 200 bills. All she'd say about it was that it was "difficult". Methinks that a bit of an understatement (Yahoo!)
- Also, South Korea held its annual "Let's Pass the Budget Amid Fistfights" festival. Broken noses and a passed budget were had, grumpily, by pretty much everybody. (Daily Times)
- Yes, that's a real shoe.
- There are 59,000 nuns in the United States. We mention this because it lets us feature a story discussing the stat, called "Vatican Probe of U.S. Nuns Moving Forward." Heh heh heh m heh heh! (Women's News, which should know better)
- How much does workplace theft cost the fine businesses of America? About $600 billion. Yeah, we question how much of that is actual theft, and how much of that is you robbing the company of productive labor by taking a leak. (Glowan Consulting Group)

Porsche's Killer Look
Written by Brett, Posted in Autoblog
Though you might peruse your wardrobe and assemble the same old set of separates into the same old boring outfit for inane work or social functions—jeans, button-down, windowpane plaid blazer, patent-leather wing tips, viridescent cravat, black sapphire pinky ring, stovepipe hat, white tiger on a platinum chain—there are certain rare times when the fashion sprites shine down on you, spizzle you with their magic glimmer, and grant your look an inexplicable frisson. Your selfies radiate likes, your cohorts shower praise and glower rapaciously. You nail it.

Mathematical methods
9. An introduction to scalars and vectors
The idea of scalars and vectors is, arguably, the most important one for anyone interested in physics to fully understand. It can be curious at first glance but, as time goes this simple idea will bloom and help solve some of the toughest problems one might encounter in physics.
A scalar is simply a physical quantity without a direction associated with it. For instance, the temperature outside may be 24°C, but not 24°C towards northeast, or 24°C at a 45° angle from the roof and so on. In other words, temperatures have values independent of any direction. The same goes for mass, length, density etc. These are all scalars.
In print scalars are generally represented in normal weights as opposed to vectors (see below). When handwritten they are variables like any other.
A vector, on the other hand, compulsorily has a direction — it often makes no sense without a specific direction. For instance, one could say a car is travelling at 80 kmh$^{-1}$, but little about the car can be determined until we know what direction it is travelling in. Similarly, a person's weight, without mass, would simply be a meaningless number: the direction in this case being partially towards the larger of two massive bodies. (Towards the earth's centre, in case of weights on Earth.) Quantities like displacement, acceleration and thrust all have directions associated with them; these are all vectors.
Note that as a result of directions coming into the picture, for every vector F, the vector with equal magnitude (see definition below) but going in the exact opposite direction is -F. Vectors are generally represented in bold.
As long as we are talking about terms, let us throw another one in: magnitude. When stating a scalar above, we said 24, when stating our vector we said 80. Irrespective of the units, these numerical values that tell us just how large a scalar or vector is is called its magnitude.
Its companion term, direction, it is worth noting, can be stated in various ways. It could be relative to a compass (north, 17° north-west etc.) or angularly (24° or pi radians) and so on.
There could be possible misunderstanding of magnitudes alongside units, thanks to the evolving definitons of these words. Ideally, when one says 65 metres, the magnitude is 65 and metres is the unit. Much like vector magnitudes and directions, neither of these makes sense without the other.
However, over time, many have come to consider the magnitude and unit together as the magnitude itself, so, to accommodate for that, it becomes important for us to understand that when we say 60m northwest, (northwest being the direction) the whole term of 60m may be considered the magnitude as well.
Types of vectors
There are several types of vectors, but we will talk about the five relatively more basic types: null vectors, position vectors, displacement vectors, projection vectors, and unit vectors.
A null vector has zero magnitude. As for direction, in the strictest terms, these vectors are considered orthogonal to every other vector; but it can also be stated (more conveniently) that null vectors have no direction — although it would then seem to go against the definition of a vector.
A unit vector is like a step up from a null vector in that it has a magnitude of 1. The idea of a unit vector is mainly to incorporate a direction into an existing statement without altering the magnitudes arbitrarily. (Since multiplication with 1 ultimately makes no difference.) The direction of a unit vector is its most important bit. For instance, something may move 1m along a straight line in a particular direction. This statement does not change the existing magnitude (whatever it may be) but gives us directional information. Unless nothing exists, in which case the 1m is itself the magnitude. Generally, the direction along the x-axis is called i, that along the y-axis is called j, and along z is k.
The concept of vector projections is yet another step up. These are more or less just vector resolutions. Generally, vectors are easier to operate on when they lie along an axis (x, y, z etc.) but this great convenience is hardly ever bestowed upon physicists; most vectors are somewhere in-between, so the trick is to write them as a combination of vectors that lie on the axes and then work with them (see fig. 1 above). The scalars ax (length OA) and ay (legth OB) are called the projections of vector a on the x and y axes respectively; ax and ay are the resolved components or the resolutions of vector a.
(The dot in-between is called the dot-product, which we will talk about in the next article. The value |a| refers to just the magnitude, and not direction, of the vector a. We will talk about this further below.)
Sometimes vectors are used to state the position of a point in space. Considering any origin, O, (the point (0,0), (0,0,0) etc. where the basic axes, x, y, and z, meet), the position vector of some point P is simply the straight line from O to P. The representation and magnitude of position vectors is discussed in the next section.
Finally we have the displacement vector, which is simply a position vector, but not from an original reference. The reference, instead, is another point somewhere in space. That is to say, instead of drawing a straight line from origin O to random point P, should we draw one from some point S to point P, we would have a displacement vector.
Representation and magnitude of vectors
Vectors can be represented in various methods. Geometrically, it is just a matter of drawing vectors of relative length and accurate direction. For instance, if 10 m is represented as 2 cm on paper, then a 1 km long vector is represented as 2 m or 200 cm long vector on paper, also inclined at the exact angle as the original.
A more often used method is non-geometric representation and it comes in two styles. Firstly, we can simply state the co-ordinate points. Or we could alternately state it as an equation with x, y and z components on a Cartesian plane (the regular x, y or x, y, z axes grid system everyone is familiar with). There are others, but we will restrict ourselves to the simple Cartesian plane for now.
As co-ordinate points and equations
Suppose we have a point P(x,y,z) somewhere. Then it's position vector equation would simply be $r = x \hat{i} + y \hat{j} + z \hat{k}$. Conversely, given some equation like $r = 4 \hat{k}$, we can state the point in question as P(0,0,4); or $r = 2 \hat{i} - 5 \hat{j} + 73.8 \hat{k}$ as $P(2,–5,73.8)$.
As for displacement vectors between two points, say Q(a,b,c) and P(x,y,z), we have an $r = (x-a) \hat{i} + (y-b) \hat{j} + (z-c) \hat{k}$ which is the displacement vector. Note how this is really just a generalised form whose specific form was seen above, i.e. with Q(a,b,c) being the origin (0,0,0) we would get the equation we saw eariler as the position vector.
Calculating the magnitude
Knowing a vector $r = a \hat{i} + b \hat{j} + c \hat{k}$, we can calculate its magnitude as the square root of the sum of squares of scalar components. The magnitude, as we saw above, is represented as $|r|$ and in spirit is simply the scalar $r$.
$$ |\textbf{r}| = \sqrt{a^2+b^2+c^2} $$
