SHADOW KING Returning To Marvel Comics In A Big Way
The Shadow King has been confirmed as the mystery villain in the first arc of the upcoming Astonishing X-Men title. Announced by series writer Charles Soule during the Marvel "ResurrXion" panel at C2E2 2017, this follows his major appearance in FX's live-action Legion series.
"The story open in London. Something really intense happens and the X-Men show up and try to fix it," said Soule.
The writer went on to frame Astonishing X-Men as a "puzzle box," saying the ever changing nature of the Shadow King's home realm of the Astral Plane means that reality will always be in question. The story will visit many points in X-Men history via the Astral Plane. Soule called it "weaponized nostalgia," using the mechanic to convey emotions and ideas.
"I think the best X-Men stories are the ones where they're not only saving the world, but trying to convince everyone that the are saving the world," Soule continued.
Soule calls the synergy between usage of Shadow King in Legion and here in Astonishing X-Men a "happy accident."
"The last page is gonna break the internet," said Chris D'Lando from Marvel's marketing department.
Astonishing X-Men #1 by Soule and artist Jim Cheung is scheduled to debut July 19.

ISLAMABAD Pakistan achieved GDP growth of 4.7 percent in the fiscal year ending in June 2016, missing its target of 5.5 percent, the prime minister's office announced on Monday.
The government has set a growth target of 5.7 percent for the next fiscal year, according to a statement. Pakistan's financial year runs from July to June.
Nawaz Sharif's announcement comes ahead of Friday's presentation of his government's budget for the 2016-17 financial year.
The government has set a growth target of 3.5 percent for the agricultural sector, 7.7 percent for the industrial sector and 5.7 percent for the services sector for the coming year.
Friday's budget will include 1,675 billion rupees ($15.98 billion) in National Development Outlay, including 800 billion rupees ($7.63 billion) in federal funds and 875 billion rupees ($8.35 billion) in funds to the provinces, the statement said.
Pakistan's economy, despite its missed targets, grew at its highest rate for eight years this year. It remains plagued by chronic power shortages, poor infrastructure and flagging exports, however.
On May 21, Pakistan's central bank cut its key policy rate by 25 basis points to 5.75 percent, mainly over concern at the missed GDP growth target.
In April 2015, China announced it would invest $46 billion in the China Pakistan Economic Corridor, a project that would link western China to the Arabian Sea through Pakistan, creating a major new trade route.
"CPEC has the capacity for further contributing to GDP and will have far-reaching effect in consolidating the economic outlook of the country in years ahead," said Monday's statement.

Updated July 02, 2017 01 of 24 How Optimizing Office Software Skills Can Make You a Better Teacher Tips and Tricks for Students Using Office Software. (c) Caiaimage / Robert Daly / Getty Images Teachers have a lot on their plates without worrying about technology. But some solutions are readily available in the office software instructors already know and use. This list gives an overview of tricks, tips, and hacks you may not be using in programs like Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote, and other alternatives, as painless as possible. From add in and template suggestions to topical lists of tips and tricks, the following list as your one-stop shopping for increasing your academic productivity or just creating and preserving better life balance. As you already know, technology can help set the tone for an effective learning environment, as well as productive study skills that can reinforce your efforts to help them succeed. Getting more out of programs you already know is a smart way to be more effective as an instructor, which is a strength your students will notice and hopefully adopt themselves. In the following list, the first few suggested instructor resources relate to free alternatives to Microsoft Office. These office software suites include OpenOffice, LibreOffice, Google Docs, and Evernote (which is a free alternative to Microsoft OneNote, but with premium upgrade plans available). After that, the remainder of this list points you to resources and ideas for Microsoft Office. 02 of 24 Best Sites for Academic Software Deals Academic Deals. (c) Tom Merton / Caiaimage / Getty Images School can be expensive for instructors as well as students. Be sure to check out academic deal, coupon, or business sites for deals on software and other education-related purchases. You may save more than you think you could! 03 of 24 Essential Touch Gestures for Boosting Productivity on All Your Devices You may already know how to swipe, drag, or tap on your desktop or mobile devices. But whether you are a newbie or's use and touchscreen user, this list is likely to help you learn some new tricks, making it that much easier to communicate with your students. 04 of 24 Free Google Docs Add-ons for Teachers and Administrators Google Apps Add-Ons for Education.

If you are new to this brand or note programs in general, this list can give you a good idea of the benefits. Many third party apps interface with Evernote, making it even more powerful. This note program is available on desktop, mobile, or in the cloud. 06 of 24 Free Education Tools for OpenOffice Free Education Tools for OpenOffice. (c) Screenshot by Cindy Grigg, Courtesy of OpenOffice Open office is similar to Microsoft office, except it is open source and free. Its features are competitive, however, so many teachers and students use this office software suite.

(c) Screenshot by Cindy Grigg, Courtesy of Microsoft Microsoft OneNote is an obvious tool for students, since it helps users capture ideas and store them in digital notebooks.

(c) Courtesy of Microsoft The desktop version of Office traditionally used by schools and businesses may turn out to be the best office software solution for your students and classroom. However, if you have not looked into the cloud version of Office (which also includes the desktop version), this academic version may provide the right incentive to move toward a subscription-based sign on, for yourself, your classroom, or your entire institution. Plus, since this is the direction Microsoft is moving toward, preparing your students to use Office 365 may strengthen your academic programming as well. 11 of 24 What is Microsoft Office Mix and How Does It Fit In With the Other Programs? Microsoft Office Mix Add-in for PowerPoint. (c) Screenshot by Cindy Grigg, Courtesy of Microsoft Many teachers use PowerPoint to share information with students.

Best Before: Feb 2020
The Giving Tree Snacks has created a healthy and delicious range that the whole family can enjoy. Their special freeze drying and vacuum frying process means that 100% of the nutrition remains intact. Preservative free, all natural, these snacks are guilt free and delicious.
Vacuum frying is a process of putting food into a machine that pressurises and cooks it with the use of hot oil, but at much lower temperatures than traditional frying methods. Putting the process in a vacuum lowers water's evaporation point. Food can fry at lower temperatures, absorbing less oil. Studies even indicate that vacuum-frying retains more nutrients than traditional frying. Vacuum frying makes lower fat, more nutritious snacks, without sacri cing taste. They use 2% rice bran oil for our pumpkin and broccoli crisps. Rice bran oil is rich in anti-oxidants and also physterols (shown to lower cholesterol).
Ingredients:Broccoli (98%), Rice Bran Oil (2%)

GIRIVIHAR, has since its conception in 1964, been devoted to outdoor adventure activities like hiking, rock climbing and mountaineering.
Adventure Activities inculcate courage, patience, determination, leadership, confidence, team spirit and cultivate a love for the environment and respect for nature.
For children, the time is ripe to learn these skills because in tomorrow's competitive environment, these will prove to be skills rudimentary to survival. And slowly, but surely, this idea is gaining acceptance in our country. Many prestigious schools have an 'Outdoor Education Programme' as part of their regular curriculum.
It is with this in mind that GIRIVIHAR conducts the Annul Adventure Camp for school children (age group 8 to13).
The 20th Adventure Camp will be conducted between 9th to 13th November, 2010 at "Vana Vihar" camp site at village Ambivali, Karjat (Dist. Raigad). Camp site is located at about 110 kms from Mumbai;

Additional Information:
Adventure Camp site ("Vana Vihar") is near Ambivali village, Karjat, Dist. Raigad.; 90 kms. from Dadar and is located on 40 acres of wilderness in the midst of innumerable Cashew, Mango, Jamun & Casuarina trees.
The camp site is connected by a tarred road & has a river flowing along its edge. Electricity is available at the camp site along with a backup generator. The campsite has toilets with running water.
The basic concept of the camp is to introduce outdoor education to the children, develop love for nature, as well as to prepare them to stay on their own, away from parents, inculcate qualities like self reliance, leadership etc.
The approximate daily schedule of the camp, with minor variations depending upon the day to day programme, will be as follows :
05.45 a.m. : Good Morning 01.30 p.m. : Evening session
06.30 a.m. : Warm up 03.00 p.m. : Cold drink (at site)
07.00 a.m. : Milk 06.00 p.m. : Tea/Biscuits
07.30 a.m. : Morning session 07.00 p.m. : Games
08.00 a.m. : Breakfast (at site) 08.30 p.m. : Dinner
12.00 noon : Lunch 10.00 p.m. : Good night – lights off
The meals are strictly vegetarian, made hygienically by an experienced local cook who has been with us from last few years. It is not pungent, considering the requirements of the kids.
The overall food items given during the day are more than sufficient both in quantity and nutritional value. So carrying food items, even toffees etc. is not allowed.
The participants will be accommodated in the tents with a separate tents for boys & girls. The ground will be covered with a mattress.
As regards the camp kit following points are worth taking note of:
Shoes should be in good condition. Ordinary canvas P. T. or similar shoes will serve the purpose. In order to avoid shoe-bites, please ensure that the shoes are used at least 2/3 days
before the camp. The shoes are a must for each activity & child can loose the whole fun of the camp, if the shoes are faulty. Do not forget to give a pair of slippers for the time after the daylong activity.
Socks should be preferably cotton to avoid the problem of blisters etc. A small quantity of any ordinary talcum powder (not the full big tin please!) for applying before wearing shoes will surely make the child more comfortable.
Children will be going through hectic field activity on all the days. Loose tough cotton trousers are the best for both boys as well as girls. Though for most of the activities it is advisable to have full pant, and full sleeve shirt, the boys can change over to half pants and the girls to Punjabi dresses. Simple 'T-shirts' will also be suitable, except for Rock-climbing where a full sleeves shirt with collar is a must. Girls will not be allowed to wear Skirts, Frocks etc. during field activity. Also tight fitting pant, heavy jeans must not be given. After the days activity the kids can change into a suitable nightdress of their choice.
Provide with at least 2 to 3 pairs of undergarments with proper instructions to change them.
As the floor of the tent is covered, a thin bed-sheet below and a light weight but warm pull-over is sufficient. Here one may note that 2 to 3 thin layers are warmer than a single thick layer. So an old cotton sari folded twice can prove to be warmer. Pillows other than air-pillow (that too, if it is essential) must not be given.
Please ensure that the water bottle is sturdy , leak-proof and with strap.
Please remember, every unwanted thing given is a burden to the child and they will have to carry it up & down all along. So restrict their load!
There is a complete 'First-Aid Kit' available at the campsite. Still it is advisable to carry a few Band-Aid strips. Instructors are trained to give first aid. In case of any serious incidence, the Medical Officer at local PHC is also kept informed about the camp and he is always ready to provide medical help.
Parents are requested to inform the camp-in-charge about any long term medical treatment the child is undergoing for any illness. In such cases the medicines should be deposited with the camp-in-charge with proper instructions. They should inform about the trouble if any (Asthma, breathing trouble etc.) experienced by the kid on exertion and the medicines in such cases. They should also inform about hypersensitivity (to antibiotics, sulpha drugs etc.) / allergies if any. Please note that the kid's advise will not be accepted in any case and the camp-in-charge may take suitable steps depending upon the situation.
There is no facility to take bath daily, moreover the kids may not find time for this. (Time will be specially provided on one of the days to bathe) Therefore instruct the kid to observe cleanliness.
Proper toilet facility is available at the campsite. Parents are requested to give instructions to the kids regarding using this facility regularly.
Please ensure that the child's nails are cut properly.
The camp-in-charge and all the instructors are fully trained and have wide experience in all the activities they will carry out. There will be an adequate number of female Instructors.
We have always followed the precautions of safety. The child's safety at any point is the first priority. Keeping this in mind, the instructors may not allow some kids to participate in some of the activities.
The other instructions on the instruction sheet regarding which items should be given and which must not be given, should be strictly followed. Any eatables, toffees or such other items, comics, games and any other objectionable items found with any trainee will be confiscated. Cash is absolutely unnecessary.
The Camp-in-charge's decision in any matter during the camp is final.
Parents and/or guests are not allowed to visit the campsite during the camp. A grand camp-fun is organised by the children with variety entertainment programmes presented by the kids themselves, on the last evening (one day prior to the last day). Parents may participate in this function. We will not be in a position to make any arrangements for the parent's lodging, boarding and transport (other than providing place to stay). The interested parents may contact the Camp-in-charge at the time of parents meeting for further information.
At the Camp Site:
This is a designed camping experience with a series of half-day sessions, each
dedicated to one of the following activities
Trekking : The trek around the vicinity of the camp site orients the participants
to the scenic terrain of "One With Nature" camp site.
Rock Climbing : This is where the basics of Rock climbing are taught to the children.
Rappelling : The child accounts his fear of height and is able to enjoy it too!
Rafting : Experience water as a mode of transport!
Asault Course : Learn to overcome obstacles in life with confidence.
River Crossing : The thrill of being able to cross the river with the help of a rope
without getting wet.
Orienteering : Understand the surroundings with maps and compass.
Treasure hunt : A group activity where confidence and competence amongst
team members is noticed.
Nature Study : Nature is considered to be the best teacher.
Star Gazing : Learn more about the mighty sky above us.(Optional)
Camping out : Being able to stay with bare requirements eg. tent, some
food, a torch in the nature. Self -cooking adds to the flavour!

A home business can change your life forever! It can bring you great financial and personal rewards like nothing else really can. Having your own home business is stepping up in the world and claiming your personal place in it. So, read on for some sound advice on how to turn the dream of a home business into a working, prosperous reality!
When making the decision of starting a home business, it is important for you to pick a subject that you are familiar with. Remember, you own the business, so you do not want to have the responsibility of having to deal with customers' problems and not knowing what to do about these problems.
Treat yourself like a professional. Have business cards made, sign your e-mails with a proper title, and go through your entire day making decisions as if you worked at a corporate building. Your business is run from your home, but you must still carry yourself as a professional so that potential customers and clients will regard you as such.
In order to be successful with your home business, you will need to have various skills and be able to fulfill many roles. Some of the areas you are going to be involved with are management, bookkeeping, customer support, and marketing. However, it is not necessary to be great in every single one of these areas. For example, if you are not the best at giving friendly customer support, you can freelance a virtual assistant to help you. There are also many resources such as books to help you improve in an area you might be lacking, and as your business grows, you can hire consultants to take over entire sections of your business.
Visit your bank and open another checking account for your home business. It is important to have a separate account for all your orders and purchases so that there is no confusion over whether a transaction was related to your business or not. It is also essential to have a credit card for your business as well.
Try a product idea that came from your own thoughts or passion. If you are making items or are passionate about them, they will be easier for you to sell. Making a product to sell is easier because you stand behind it and believe in it, since you made it.
When starting a home based business it is absolutely essential that you thoroughly research all of the legal issues involved. The laws in your state may require you to get a business license and a seller's permit. Making sure that you take care of all licensing requirements early on will ensure that you avoid any costly legal problems.
Business slowdown? Could be seasonal or the economy. Who knows? Take advantage of this quiet time to ramp up your marketing, tackle your email, log into user forums, beef up your web site and organize your office. Step outside and network with others in your field. Turn this slowdown into an opportunity.
Take the time to explore different options before finally deciding on which business to go with. Focus on market trends and research the company or idea before deciding to go with it. The internet is a great resource to find any information you need on trends and company research.
Many home based businesses are started on shoe string budgets. Because you don't have the overhead costs like an office lease, or inventory for a storefront, you can usually start these fairly simply. Many home based businesses are of a consulting nature, but look around for others that you can try.
Being prepared for owning and running your own home business is the best step forward you can take toward making it a success. Hopefully this article has armed you with valuable information you can put to good use in planning and running your home business. It will of course, be a lot of hard work but with the right knowledge and dedication you can achieve this goal!

James Williams mashes Nigel Farage over his criticism of Tommy Robinson
James Williams
Posted on 03/06/2018
James Williams mashes Nigel Farage
Chimes Media founder, James Williams, mashes Nigel Farage over the latter's criticism of Tommy Robinson. Working class hero, Tommy Robinson who stands up for the forgotten and ignored. Tommy Robinson speaks out against the malevolence and intent of Islam while Nigel Farage avoids even saying the word "Islam".
Libertarian Support Tommy Robinson
Many of the people supporting Tommy Robinson are libertarians, not Far Rightist. Standing against the people are the political classes; the legal establishment and the media. Mr. Farage sides with them. He displays his class prejudice by attacking Tommy Robinson. By calling Tommy Robinson stupid and not very bright he decries those who look to Tommy Robinson as their voice. Nigel Farage should be standing shoulder to shoulder with Tommy Robinson to defend free speech. Nigel Farage should also be more prominent in condemning the wide-scale harm being done to our children and the Islamification of Britain.

ford edge, jeep grand cherokee, nissan murano
looks like: chevy took the gloves off for a more dramatic shape that's sharp-edged and lexus-like, but with a big grille and unusual, low-set headlights similar to the redesigned 2019 hyundai santa fe
drivetrains: 193-horsepower, 2.5-liter four-cylinder or 305-hp, 3.6-liter v-6; nine-speed automatic transmission
hits dealerships: early 2019
another badge from the distant past comes back in the form of chevrolet's new 2019 blazer, reviving a chevrolet suv staple that ran from the 1983 s10 blazer through the nameplate's demise in 2005 (and that's to say nothing of the big k5 blazer of even earlier heritage). but this in no retro-looking ride — it's a break from the recent past in chevy designs, with more "hey, look at me" style.
related: done drooling over the 1le? here's what's new with rest of camaro fam
the new blazer also seems to aim more at the country club than the country. it's no body-on-frame ford bronco fighter, another badge from yesteryear making a comeback soon with promised off-road chops. the blazer is, rather, more of a ford edge or nissan murano fighter.
it will fit between the equinox compact suv and the big three-row traverse in the chevy lineup, but the blazer is more stylish and interesting than either sibling to attract new buyers. the trim levels will include a sportier, aggressive rs model and a top-level premier with luxury trimmings.
might there be a gmc jimmy denali version down the road, aimed at higher-end competitions from more premium brands? chevrolet and gmc are both brands under gm, so we wouldn't bet against it.
the new blazer's design is energetic and sharp-elbowed in a good way; it should play well with the mom or dad who wants to be the cool parent. styling is definitely more of a swoopy suburban cruiser than a truck — and in the sportier rs trim level, the blazer has the meanest-looking chevy nose short of a camaro, with squinting led daytime running lights and a blacked-out grille so big it could make lexus' spindle blush.
a pinched-waist side also includes a character line that sweeps nicely from the front wheel up into the back pillar, though it leads to one of those "floating roof" illusions, a design trend i thought was finally over. a panoramic moonroof is available.
in an unusual design flourish, the headlights sit low in the bumper, separate from the high daytime running lights, and should present a distinctive look at night. hyundai just did the same with the redone 2019 santa fe even as jeep switched to more conventional headlight positioning for the 2019 cherokee. the blazer's tail is not so dramatic (and less of a departure from other chevy designs), but that also describes most suvs. it features led taillights and an integrated rear spoiler.
the five-seat interior features a horizontal sweep to the dashboard and a standard 8-inch touchscreen that stands away from, but not above, the dash. chevrolet's infotainment 3 multimedia system also is standard, as is apple carplay and android auto smartphone integration plus 4g lte wi-fi if you subscribe. wireless charging and up to six usb ports are available.
for flexibility in managing people versus cargo room, the blazer has an adjustable sliding rear seat. maximum cargo capacity is 64.2 cubic feet with the second row folded. rs and premier trim levels get a cargo management system with rails and a cargo fence. another interesting detail: an electronic-locking glove box that can lock for security when the blazer is in valet mode.
luxury options include a heated steering wheel and heated and ventilated front seats that can work automatically via remote start or the automatic climate control. heated rear seats and a hands-free power liftgate also are available.
under the hood
the blazer's base used engine is a 193-horsepower, 2.5-liter four-cylinder that puts out 188 pounds-feet of torque. optional is a 305-hp, 3.6-liter v-6 that puts out 269 pounds-feet of torque. both pair with a nine-speed automatic transmission and have stop-start systems at idle.
all models offer selectable driving modes, and there are two flavors of all-wheel drive available. the rs and premier trim levels get a more sophisticated, higher-performance twin-clutch awd system. the blazer can two up to 4,500 pounds with the v-6 and offers a hitch-view camera feature that helps in aligning the hitch with the trailer.
chevy says the blazer has a "suite of available active safety features." that isn't very detailed, but we take it to mean that the blazer continues gm's pattern of reserving the best safety and driver assistance for higher trim levels and option packages. in another example, gm's announcement notes that adaptive cruise control is "available" on the upper rs and premier trim levels. a rearview-mirror video camera will also will be offered.

If you have read the previous post about "Your prayers are coveted", then you know that Cheesehead has her hands, her heart, her soul, her mind, her body full with Pastoring her church, community and family. If you have not, you need to read it, plan to be part of the prayer community at the time in your time zone that is equal to the times listed for prayer. Also there is a link to Cheesehead's posts about what is going on, or you can click on Cheesehead in Paradise on the sidebar to catch up. I am praying, and I offered to post today's Lectionary leanings in her place.
Here are the lectionary readings for this week. If you are UMC, you will be using for the O. T. passage 1 Kings 2:10 – 3:14 ;for the Psalms you will be using Psalm 111; also you will start with verse 51 of John 6 instead of 53 and go through to 58. Let's see what else, oh yes, the Episcopals in our midst get to choose between Psalm 137 or Psalm 34:9-14. Okay that's the scriptures for this Sunday; Which way am I leaning, besides "leaning on the everlasting arms"? I am leaning on Paul with Ephesians 5:15-20. Why don't you all who have had your fill of bread come on over to the Ephesians passage, you could preach on Jesus transforming lives even those who have addictions, and how important a community of faith is in dealing with addictions. Anbody see an elephant in the living room? (That's one of the sayings from AA, and it has to do with denial.)
Now for those who are still new at preaching, which I tend to consider myself at, here are some resources that I have found helpful. Perhaps as you comment, you can add some others that you use whether on the web, books, etc. After I read the scripture, pray over them; I usually start with TextthisWeek, especially if I am unsure of which passage to preach from, or if I am planning ahead. Lots of good research, commentaries, and other links. I then go to Sermons & Sermon – Lectionary Resources to check out other resources, thoughts, ideas, and illustrations. I also go to Desperate Preacher.com for their Lectionary Discussion forums, you'll have to go to their sidebar to click on the passage you are preaching on to see the discussions.
But I would like to emphasize that we have two of our own revgalblogpals who have good websites on the lectionary passages, BethQuick and Dylan's Lectionary Blog. They are really good at what they do, and thought provoking.
Now, what are you preaching on Sunday?

(Mortgage Disability) How Much Coverage Do You Need To Protect Your Home
Taking out a mortgage disability policy is a smart way to ensure you will be able to pay your mortgage and keep your home if you become disabled. No matter how much you may have put aside in savings, if you face a long-term absence from work you may find it difficult to pay your mortgage for the duration. Having an insurance policy in place to pay your mortgage is an important part of your comprehensive insurance package.
Choosing Mortgage Disability
Obviously, the most important thing to consider when you choose mortgage disability coverage is the monthly payment you make on your mortgage. You need to take out a policy that can cover the entire monthly payment, otherwise you will need to make up the difference. Be sure to review your policy regularly to make sure it remains accurate, as a refinance or change in your mortgage loan could change the amount you pay every month.
The other important factor to look at is the length of time you will need coverage. While most mortgage disability policies are intended for a longterm situation, there are a wide variety of policies and a great range in the length of time for which the coverage is provided.
If You Have Other Coverage
You may have a policy that provides you with a certain amount of money to pay for living expenses, such as a disability policy that is a part of your employment benefit package. In this case, you might need a mortgage disability policy to fill the gaps and cover you specifically for that purpose, leaving the other coverage to pay for utilities and other expenses.
Don't assume that the coverage you have is enough to pay for your mortgage as well as all other living expenses. Take the time to do the math. Once you know how much coverage you already have, you will know what you need from a mortgage disability policy. Of course, it's always a good idea to have more coverage than you think you need, so consider increasing benefits wherever possible.
Your insurance agent can walk you through the process of selecting a mortgage disability policy to match the rest of your insurance package. Creating a comprehensive disability plan that covers all your bases should be the primary goal; be sure you have the right combination of policies to protect you in case of a long-term illness or injury.

Over the past several decades a substantial number of studies have confirmed that there are many benefits for older adults who participate in regular physical activity.
- In 2008, the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) published, for the first time, official US Government Physical Activity Guidelines.
- The DHHS Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans conclude that, compared to less active persons, more active men and women have lower rates of all-cause mortality, coronary heart disease, high blood pressure, stroke, type 2 diabetes, metabolic syndrome, colon cancer, breast cancer, and depression.
Fortunately, programs like Silver Sneakers® Fitness started providing feasible and enjoyable options for older adults.
EIM seeks to add even greater value to the older adult population through:
- Assessment of current PA levels
- Stratification of at-risk populations with chronic diseases with specific attention to mobility issues
- Referral to appropriate community-based programs tailored to fit their needs and preferences
- Professional guidance that is specifically designed to work older adult populations.
The American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) has published a Position Stand on Exercise and Physical Activity for Older Adults which summarizes the benefits of both long-term exercise and physical activity, and shorter-duration exercise programs on the health and well-being of older adults.
In addition to these bio-medical benefits there are many other reasons older adults should be encouraged to find a way to build physical activity into their everyday lives.
- Regular physical activity can help to improve quality of life in old age.
- Physical activity can help older adults remain active and engaged within their families and communities.

Going back to school to earn your MBA is a big step towards taking your career, your life, and your ambitions further, but is it enough to truly distinguish yourself on Day 1 of your job search? Business school is an incredible opportunity in its own right, with thousands of graduates every year walking away with those coveted three letters,you will need to find a way to stand even taller than your peers. When you start your program, there are tons of opportunities you can seize to build on your credentials – just don't miss out on them while they're open to you.
#1 International Immersion
International immersion is quickly becoming a must-have part of any MBA program as the globalized economy demands more professionals who understand business practices, cultures, and languages in other parts of the world. One b-school offering an international experience, the Lazaridis School of Business and Economics, provides students with two separate opportunities to learn about business across the world.
a) The Two-week International Study Elective is an excursion to another country where students sit in on business meetings to see how they're conducted and visit the country's top employers.
b) The summer study term is a chance to complete a term of your degree at a business school abroad; while you can choose another option, the Lazaridis School of Business has active relationships with Essam in Denmark and Euromed in Marseille, now part of KEDGE.
#2 Coop
Whereas most MBA candidates go out into the workforce for a number of years after their undergraduate before returning to a higher level of education to advance in their field, some come to switch careers or come almost directly from a BA. If you've enrolled to move into a different industry or straight from school, coops and internships are essential to your success. An internship placement will help you gain valuable work experience and build relationships with potential employers. If you haven't already, make sure you find out about coops and internships available as part of the MBA program at Lazaridis.
#3 CPA Designation
With a Master of Business Administration, you can expect a higher salary and better job prospects, but many are left wondering how they can truly give themselves an edge. The answer is often additional designations, often in conjunction with a specialization like finance or accounting. Those who are planning to focus on accounting should consider working toward their CPA designation while they earn their degree. Some schools now offer courses that prepare you for the CPA exams, meaning you can combine your education with a highly sought-after designation.
#4 Case Competitions
Most b-schools send teams to compete in a number of international MBA case competitions, and while these competitions all have a monetary prize for the winner, that's not the only reason these events are so important. Major case competitions always draw recruiters from big employers, and they aren't always just out looking for the winner. They're out looking for top talent that will fit with their organizations, and they frequently come to case competitions to find new hires. Competitions, like international immersion, internships, and advanced designations, are a great way to distinguish yourself. Always remember that the goal of your MBA isn't just to get the degree itself, it's to blaze a trail for your future career.

A local company whose KSh1.4 billion contract was cancelled by Tatu City says the decision was erroneous and without due process.
The company says that since due process was not followed, it then follows that the Tatu City decision is an annullity.
Ongata Works through lawyer Joram Mwenda told the high court that the company's reputation "may suffer irreparably" if Tatu City is allowed to kick it out of the site.
Mwenda painted a picture of how haphazard Tatu City has dealt with the contractor…how it changed the scope of the works assigned, barely a week after the contract was entered into.
Initial contract
Mwenda told justice Joseph ONguto the contract provides for a Dispute Adjudication Board(DAB), appointed by both parties and if the board fails to resolve the matter, it can then proceed for arbitration.
According to the lawyer, the contract is still in force, after Tatu City granted them an extension that ends on April 3 2017, a thing Tatu City lawyer says is not true as it had already cancelled the initial contract.
Mwenda said the works done by the contractor and the materials were yet to be quantified and the company will be greatly prejudiced if the threat is not stopped.
"The true value of the works can only be determined if the site is preserved," the lawyer submitted.
The KSh1.4 billion contract was cancelled on December 13 2017 , forcing Ongata to move to court and obtain an order barring Tatu from continuing with construction at the site and thus appointing a new contractor till the dispute is heard and resolved.
Scope of work
According to the lawyer, Tatu City cancelled the contract on claims that the company had failed to perform the works as agreed but in essence, it had varied the scope.
He accused Tatu City of varying the scope of work and stopping the progression at various stages " haphazardly."
"But they have failed to exhibit any documents citing Ongata for any failure," he added.
On its part, Tatu City through lawyer Issa Mansur told the trial the court to dismiss the case stating that there was no contract to be preserved. He said the agreement provided for a clause in which the employer could renege on the contract at any stage.
He said since the cancellation in December, the contractor had failed to take steps to refer the matter to arbitration.
The contractor and the developer differed on December 13 2017 , after latter ordered Ongata Works out of the site. Tatu City gave Ongata Works a 14-day notice to vacate the site.
The court will give its ruling on January 31 2018.

WTF Japan: TOTO's Toilet Poop Bike
And now just when you thought you've had enough of this WTF Japan crap, the well-known Japanese toilet maker, TOTO, has just introduced the all-new toilet poop bike that runs on human excrement:
Yes, that's right long riders, you don't need to take anymore truck stop breaks as you can keep on riding while pooping. Check it out:
Just kidding. It doesn't work that way. And this model is obviously a promo for the toilet manufacture. But wait, there's more! This new shit cycle also plays music, talks and generates some kind of "residual light imagery to write messages in the air as it zooms by." Whatever.

Nice one Pongi, see you soon.ReplyDelete
Sadly, TOTO Corporation's "TOILET BIKE NEO" is not as exciting as it sounds. ;-/ReplyDelete
The party poops on TOTO's website ruin all the fun by saying:
The TOILET BIKE NEO does not have the mechanism to run on the rider's waste. It runs biogas fuel (fertilized, purified and compressed livestock waste and household wastewater) provided by city waste plants.
Therefore, the NEO REST seat doe snot function as a toilet, and has been created for promoting TOTO's environmental efforts.TOTO is not involved with any motorbike or biogas production business.

Five years ago, I posted a list of 20 fave films. They're still among my faves but I thought I would add another 20. These are not necessarily all "great" movies. Sometimes, great movies are boring, or depressing, or confusing. These are my personal favourites, films I can watch over and over (and have) and still love.
Amelie— when I need a pick me up, I often turn to Amelie and grab my knitting. It's subtitled, but I have seen it enough times that I know when my favourite sequences are coming up. It's got a little mystery, a little romance, humour, and heart.
Big Fish — an atypical Tim Burton film while still squeezing in a lot of his hallmarks (though it does lack Johnny Depp. Not that this is a bad thing). Great performances by Billy Cruddup, Albert Finney, and Ewan McGreggor. A film as much about the art of storytelling as it is about the relationship between a father and his son.
Dark Crystal — Jim Henson put his all into this fable of good and evil, a quest to return peace to a shattered land. The muppets and other creatures were like nothing seen before, and pretty much nothing since. I still find this film touching and beautiful.
Demolition Man — as action films go, this one is average. As sci-fi films go, it's cheezy. But somehow, the future it predicts seemed perfectly reasonable when it was released and some of the aspects still make me giggle.
Elf – I never expected this film to be worth watching let alone how it worked its way to pretty much the top of my Must See Christmas Films but there is so much heart in this movie that it melts any seasonal cynicism that has built up. I'll even confess to watching this at other times of the year.
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind — we are all made up of that which has come before. Even before seeing this oddball surprisingly philosophical film I was totally opposed to the idea of completely removing someone from my memory — at least not someone I had a relationship with. The movie makes an interesting case for the repercussions of those actions.
Hell or High Water — four characters make up this film. It could almost be a stage play for the intimacy of the conversations and monologues that make up the most of the exposition but there's also car chases and gunplay and bank robberies set against a backdrop that could be right out of Steinbeck's dust bowl novels but are instead present day Texas. It's not an easy film to watch, there is no winner here, no clear good guy, just a whole lot of ethical and moral grey area.
Inglourious Basterds — my current favourite Tarantino film because it's extremely anti-Nazi and the world needs far fewer Nazis right now. Plus, using Bowie's "Cat People (Putting out Fire)" during the fire sequence never fails to put a smile on my face.
Italian Job (1969) — to be clear, I love the original Michael Caine version, not the revamped one. I adore heist films and this one is as convoluted as you can imagine. It's unapologetically British, and the ending is one of the best ever filmed.
Magnolia — this is an opus of ensemble cinema and includes outstanding performances by Tom Cruise (arguably both his best performance, and least likeable), William H. Macy, and Phillip Seymour Hoffman. Where the plots cross paths is at times surprising; at its core, this is a film about families and an examination of where unconditional love falls to the wayside.
Matrix — the original film far outshines any of the rest of the series and, like Raiders of the Lost Ark, I consider it a stand-alone film. It was initially a bit of a brain bender to me but once I started to understand concepts of Zen Buddhism, the film became much more clear to me. Add to that the ground breaking effects (which look a bit ho hum after years of copycats), and this movie is just all out win.
Notting Hill — Much like Groundhog Day, I am no fan of the leading lady in this movie but the ensemble cast here is stellar and the plot is so lovely; it is one of my go to romcoms. Plus it has one of my favourite sequences to show the passage of time as Bill Withers provides the soundtrack.
Playing by Heart — another ensemble piece where storylines come together, the cast here is pretty astounding and the romances each a little different — different stages of love, different ages, different situations and personalities. Some of my most oft quoted lines appear in this film. It is probably the least well known film on my fave lists.
Practical Magic — this is a rare case where I prefer the film to the book. There is something so forlorn about Sandra Bullock's character that I was drawn in from the very beginning. A stern warning against messing with the darker sides of magic while embracing the power of women who gather to solve a problem is a wonderful message. This is very much a feminist film.
Secretary — I don't think I've ever seen a film capture the dynamics of dominance and submission in kink as clearly as Secretary does. It is astonishing that this film had a theatrical release. If you were titillated by Fifty Shades but haven't seen this one, go fix that omission immediately.
Southland Tales — I cannot explain why I love this film so much. One part apocalypse, one part parable, one part eye candy (Dwayne Johnson and Justin Timberlake). It has musical scenes but I would never consider it a musical. I bought the graphic novels to go with it because I just adore this weird, messy, sci-fi film with its unlikely cast filled with Mad TV and SNL alumni.
State and Main — this cynical look at how a big budget film production descends on a small town and everyone snaps to attention feels a lot like what happens when film crews show up in my region. The fact that it is written and directed by wordsmith David Mamet is just icing on the proverbial cake.
Stardust — I'll admit, I haven't read Gaiman's original novel, but I adore this movie. It's a little cheeky, it's romantic, it's magical, and the cast is brilliant all around. Add eye candy scenery and you have something that is a little more subtle than The Princess Bride but no less a classic.
V for Vendetta — this movie is problematic in a few ways but it gives me hope in this totalitarian era that people can rise up under the right circumstances. I always cry at the end of this movie.
Way Down Town — not quite the most Canadian film, but it is way up there. A bunch of office workers see how long they can go without going outside in a city where many buildings are connected by walkways.
You'll note there is nothing from most of the big franchises — no Marvel, no Star Wars, no Harry Potter. It's not because I don't enjoy those films, I do, but those end up being sort of lowest common denominator films. The bigger the group of people trying to decide on a movie, the more likely I am going to suggest something from a big franchise because there is more likely to be a general agreement.
There are two franchises I won't ever likely suggest, however: Star Trek and Lord of the Rings. If you know the person I used to be married to, and how much those franchises meant to him, you'll understand why.
