ESS AHMAD. Dated: 12/6/2018 4:52:41 PM
ANANTNAG, Dec 5: Bhartiya Janata Party leader and Member of Legislative Council (MLC), Sofi Yusuf on Wednesday stoked a controversy saying 'Governor Rule in the state is BJP's Rule'.He was speaking at a worker's meet at his residence in Housing Colony Khanabal in southern Anantnag district."See, we have a government at the Center today. There is Governor Raj in the state and it is also ours. Tomorrow we will again come into power," Sofi told workers most of whom were from the Gujjar community. Sofi further said that BJP wants to uplift the Gujjar community ignored by the previous governments."Earlier, the graveyards used to be without fencing but we fenced so many graveyards. We constructed houses for many Gujjars and provided money to scores of ailing people from community for their treatment. We want the prosperity of Gujjar people also," Sofi to the meeting.Hailing from Srigufwara village of Anantnag, Sofi before being given the MLC berth by the BJP had contested many elections but faced stunning defeat every time.Soon after the meeting concluded, the video in which the BJP leader describes the Governor's rule in the state as 'ours' was widely shared on social networking sites by the social media users.Zewar Hussain Bhat while commenting on the video shared by another facebook user wrote 'It is true. He finally revealed the truth,"."Baap ka Raaj' wrote another facebook user Sajad Hakeem in his comment on the video.

Three Generations
We rode our bikes 35 kilometers along the Damme canal from Bruges to Sluis. This canal was the literal artery of trade from the 12th to the 15th century, carrying goods from the large shipping port in the Netherlands to the very heart of finance and commerce in Bruges.
We rode from country to country basking in the landscape and came upon two older women riding their bikes. The three of us rode together, grandmother, mother and stranger keeping a calm, luxurious cadence that filled me.
I never rode my bike with my grandmother or mother. I don't even know if either of them ever owned a bike. And time and diabetes and endometrial cancer have taken these two women from my path. And a bike ride would not have saved them or made either of these matriarchs more powerful then they were. But along that Damme canal, I witnessed the timeless beauty of the bicycle. This simple, brilliant machine, built seamlessly into the culture, brought together generations to share in the simple act of living.
It is a simple gift . . . time. And I am happy to hope that it is one I will share with current and coming generations. Time between handlebars, in beautiful landscapes with nothing but calm, luxurious cadence and conversation to interrupt the birdsong.

The Best Advice I Ever Got
A year ago and a half ago, two moms who read this blog told me that I absolutely had to try out the Personal Development Chabura of Rabbi Aryeh Nivin.
Looking back, I understand that that was quite possibly the best advice I have ever received.
No class or course I have ever taken has improved my life as dramatically as this chabura, and I HIGHLY recommend it from the bottom of my heart to every Jewish mom reading this.
A new chabura will be starting on August 30th, and Rabbi Nivin is making a special introductory offer for new participants:
Try the first 3 sessions for free, with no obligation!
And, as a special incentive to JewishMOM.com readers, every woman who registers for this 3-week offer will automatically participate in a raffle to win an entire free 3-month-session of the Chabura (worth $150).
To be included in the raffle, make sure to mention JewishMOM.com when you register.
Do me a favor*, do yourself a favor, don't miss this incredible chance to start living the life of your dreams.
Learn more at www.NewChabura.com
*You will do me a favor since one of my biggest goals with JewishMOM.com is to convince you mothers to sign up for long-term, life-changing courses by my teachers Rabbi Nivin and Dina Friedman (of the Chanoch Lnaar Parenting Course), which I feel have provided me with the skills to thrive in my JewishMOM life.
AND you will also be doing me a favor because I receive a discount on my own Chabura tuition in return for every student I refer to the program. So, if you ever wanted to give me a gift for all my volunteer work on JewishMOM.com, signing up for this course would be a very nice one for you AND me too:)
One comment
I signed up last week thanks to so many good things I hear about the chaburas (from you and friends). I will email them and mention that I heard it through you, because really you were the first person who got me aware of this chabura (in last year's email).
hope you get a discount!

Resilient Communities
The coast of the Gulf of Mexico has supported human settlement for over 12,000 years. From the beginning, its beauty and abundant resources led to an increase in population. Gulf Coast people, however, have faced and adapted to the challenges of living along the coast, even though such events as fire, war, disease, and storms have brought great economic, ecological, and social losses. The threat of coastal hazards, including new pressures from the world's largest oil spill, continues to shape the Gulf Coast and its people today. By transforming into "resilient" communities, coastal communities increase their ability to bounce back after significant events. Resilient communities that have the ability to quickly recover - both economically and socially - will be critical to the region's long-term viability and success.
If you have any NOAA or NOAA Partner links you would like to add, change or remove from iGulf, please contact email@example.com.

Know Your Milk You Drink!
By Dr Harold Gunatillake - Health Writer
Your super-market shelves will have a variety of milk options, but the classic cow's milk is a good source of calcium, vitamin D and potassium. It has 3.5% milk fat and is best given to babies between 1 and 2 years old, for their growing brains. Adults who exercise and lead an active life also should drink classic cow's milk for their energy. Sedentary people should avoid this natural high calorie product as it may increase your body weight leading to obesity.
Children who drink whole milk are leaner and have higher vitamin D levels than those who drink low-fat or skim milk, new research suggests.
Children who drank whole (3.25 per cent fat content) milk had a Body Mass Index score that was 0.72 units lower than those who drank 1 or 2 per cent milk in the study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.
Classic cow's milk needs to be boiled before consumed to eliminate contaminants.
If you love whole milk, and does not cause stomach upsets, it is okay to indulge, provided you combine it with a high-fibre cereal, and restrict saturated fats for the rest of the day. This theory of food having saturated fat link to heart disease is disputed currently and drinking full cream milk is the way to go.
In India, the legend goes to demonstrate how the cow is brought to your door-step to provide fresh milk for the household. That tradition does not exist anymore.
The present thoughts that saturated fats are not a risk factor for heart disease one could drink saturated fat milk (full cream) with no guilt, if you do not have an over-weight problem.
Pasteurized milk
Pasteurisation definitely destroys bad germs in the milk through the process, but at the same time kills harmless and useful germs (lactic acid bacilli) alike and by subjecting the milk to high temperatures also destroys some of the nutritious constituents like vitamin C. Such milk cannot be fermented and made sour and quickly decomposes and undesirable germs can multiply quickly. What this means is that pasteurised powdered milk is good to add in beverages like tea and coffee and not suitable as a health drink.
Chocolate milk
Skimmed milk (non-fat) is made of whole milk skimming the cream out and each cup has 90 calories and zero fat and this milk is a good option for milk drinkers trying to lose weight. Calcium, vitamin D and potassium are preserved in skimmed milk.
There are four types of cow's milk in the super-market: skim, 1%, 2% and whole and they all have the same amount of proteins, calcium and vitamins. A cup of 1% has 102 cals and 1-5 grams of saturated fat. A cup of 2% has 31 grams of saturated fat.
Some people have a lactose intolerance, and digesting lactose (natural sugar) in your milk may cause bloating and diarrhoea. Such people should drink lactose –free milk to avoid the problems.
Goat's milk
Soy milk
Almond Milk
Almond milk is 1 percent oil by weight. Around 90 percent are unsaturated. It has 69% of Oleic acid: 17% of Linoleic acid: 8% of Palmitic acid. It has 1,52 grams of carbs in a cup whilst cow's milk has 12.18%
Rice Milk
Milk can be made from ground cashew nuts, Macadamia nuts, coconuts, Hemp seeds, Flax seed, among others.
Cow's milk is a complete food meaning that it contains carbs, protein, fat and calcium among other micro-nutrients like vitamin B12. Milk has two good proteins- whey and casein. Whey seems to be a fast digesting protein and popular among body builders, and casein is a slow digesting protein.
Fresh milk when consumed stimulates your body's insulin levels. This means that that this will result increasing fat storage in the body and may not be suitable for those who wish to reduce their body weights.
Milk can form acne on your skin. This is due to a protein called IGF a hormone similar to insulin which promotes the formation of acne.
Fresh milk is high in calories. A single cup of 2% milk contains about 120 calories- about drinking a glass of wine, and may not be suitable if you are on a strict diet to lose weight.
a1 and a2 proteins in milk
Drink milk daily and the choices are explained.

In the summer of 1970, Kitty Roberts and a group of former University of Tulsa students founded American Theatre Company as a professionally-oriented theatrical company. ATC's popularity grew through many incredible shows, including its annual production of A Christmas Carol. In recent years ATC has been honored with six TATE Awards for productions including Waiting for Godot, Twelve Angry Men, and In The Next Room (The Vibrator Play). ATC performs shows both at the PAC and at their home, Studio 308, in downtown Tulsa.
About Theatre Pops:
Founded in 1989, Theatre Pops is an award winning theatre company located in the heart of downtown Tulsa, Oklahoma. Providing strong messages and compelling stories for and by the community we serve, Theatre Pops is "pulling back the curtain," and putting the stories we tell and the community we serve at the heart of all we do. Theatre Pops has won multiple TATE awards for their productions including last month's Second Place TATE award win for their critically lauded production of The Last Days of Judas Iscariot.

We compete in the IHRA Electronics (or "Box") class.
The pits are open at all times, please drop by
and say hi and wander through the entire pit area - it's a high-powered car show.
June 8 & 9, first races of the season:
A double header weekend at Castrol Raceway in
Edmonton. You can watch live via webcam at
then click on "Catch Live Drag Results" located below the changing
picture near the top. We're in the BOX class. Run order is NoBox,
Junior Dragsters, Bikes, BOX, Top Eliminator.
Prior to these races, we made some changes
to the suspension, ignition and timing.
Sat. June 8:
Practice 1: Our best time ever! 8.855 at 144.88 mph.
Awesome 60' of 1.267. Engine stays cool when idling. Awesome.
Practice 2: Better yet. 8.849 at 145.02 mph. 60'
was 1.250. Good reaction times too. Now we'll see if we can keep
it up in eliminations.
Round 1:
Lost :-(
8.914 on an 8.83 dial. Good 60' of 1/254.
Competitor ran good numbers. We underestimated the gusty headwind.
Sun. June 9:
Sky looks scary.
Temperature 12°C. Shock adjustment this
Practice 1:
8.866 at 143.72 mph, 60' of 1.258, .014 reaction time. Only 1 practice
Round 1:
Won! :-) 8.875 on an 8.84 dial. Would have lost if not for .013
reaction time. Margin of victory only .004 seconds!
Round 2:
Won! :-)
8.874 on an 8.85 dial. Reaction time of .002! ET only .001
different than last pass. On to round 3.
Round 3, 1/4
Finals: Lost with a .006 red light
Good day, though.
June 22 & 23:
We were at Hanna, Alberta for a 2-day drag racing event
on a temporary 1/8 mile dragstrip at the airport.
Thank you to our pit crew,
Leonard. 1/8-mile racing on a temporary dragstrip on a runway at the
airport. For higher-HP racecars the traction was terrible. It was nearly
impossible to pick a time and then try to run it. Usually the
Mac's Motorsports Roadster was still
spinning halfway down the track! Interesting fun, but a terrible race
August 16, 17 & 18:
Thank you to our pit crew, Doug and Chris. Recent suspension
changes didn't seem to help. In Friday practices, our 60-foot times dropped
off a bit since the June races (maybe the track prep isn't as good?).
Saturday we lost in the first round
due to a .003 RED light!
:-( Went into the buy-back round, but lost due
to a HORRIBLE reaction time of .206 seconds (I knew at the starting line
that I'd already lost).
Sunday practice our 60-foot times
improved (better track prep?) AND we gained power from changing the carb
jets. We set another record for the Mac's
Motorsports Roadster..... 8.843
seconds at 146.50 mph. Then we went on to win rounds 1 and 2 of
eliminations with excellent reaction times (.012 and .011 seconds) and some
good luck. In round 3 we chose 8.92 seconds as our "dial-in", and then ran
the 1/4-mile in 8.924 seconds!!! BUT.... We had a .009 RED light at the
starting line, so that's an immediate loss. Good day though.
September 14 & 15, final races this season:
Thank you to our pit crew, Doug.
Sat. September 14:
Practice 1: New record 8.817 seconds at 147.78 mph!
Practice 2: Another personal best! 8.803 at 147.78 mph.
60 ' time a bit better at 1.265 (not a record but VVG, so shock adjustment
Round 1:
Was set to break out, but got on the brakes at the top end. Ran
8.813 seconds on an 8.80 dial for the win! Probably would have run
8.75 seconds.
Round 2:
Lucky win - opponent broke out. We ran only 8.835 seconds on an 8.75
dial. Traction issue (60' time was off a bit). But .002
reaction time! Now to Round 3.
Round 3: Lost. Missed our dial again. Ran 8.855
on an 8.79 dial. Weak 60' time (lost some traction). Opponent
within .009 of his dial.
Sun. September 15:
Practice 1: 8.809 seconds, new mph best at 148.93 mph.
Practice 2: 8.825 at 148.27 mph. 60' time a bit better
at 1.274. Fairly consistent with P1. On to eliminations.
Round 1: Caught opponent just before finish line, so eased
off the throttle. Won with 8.860 on an 8.84 dial against Ken
Thompson in Webster's 27 Ford.
Round 2: Lost with a .042 red light.
Could have won
with 8.887 on an 8.87 dial.
Thanks to Doug for calculating
dial-ins, and to Mac's for support!
to Top
September 29 - on display:
The downtown streets were blocked off and filled with cars.
It's the largest car show in Southern Alberta (approx. 1,400 entries last
year). We had a great spot on 1st Street across from the train
2012 Season
May 2012: Thank you!
We're proud to
announce the return of the following sponsors for 2012:
Big thanks for
helping to get the Mac's Roadster ready for the first
race of 2012 to:
Doug Taylor Crew
Race City Speedway is Gone!
At the end of the 2011 season and after more
than twenty five years, all operations at Race City Speedway in Calgary
ceased, permanently. After a mix-up with the city, their lease was not
renewed and the land has been claimed back to use for a settling pond for
the nearby landfill. A sad sight for many.
May 12 & 13, first races of the season:
A double header weekend at
Castrol Raceway in
Sat. May 12:
Lost in the first round of eliminations. Red lit (the racecar left before
the light went green) AND broke out in the first round! :-( Talk about
over-ambitious. I can't explain the red light, it was red by a mile. I
think the break-out (running the 1/4-mile quicker than the time I'd posted
on my car) was from underestimating the extra traction available at the
starting line due to the rising heat of the day. The good news in this loss
is that I posted a new record 1/4-mile time for the
Mac's 1927 Ford Roadster of 8.893 seconds!
Sun. May 13:
After breaking out yesterday, we were waaay too conservative today. We
picked a time with lots of safety from breaking out, but then I didn't run
quick enough. I missed my dial-in by 0.15 seconds. My competitor only
missed his by 0.03 seconds. We had similar reaction times at the starting
line, so he got to the finish line before me. Out first round again.
Ardan & Bob
June 2 & 3:
Sat. June 2: Lost in the first round of
eliminations. Another colossally red light! (the racecar left before the
light went green). :-(
We found the problem while visiting with the other racers Saturday
evening..... For the Box / Electronics class, Castrol Raceway uses a
feature at the starting line called "crosstalk" which causes both racers get
the top yellow bulb AT THE SAME TIME, even though it's a handicap race and
one racer will get the green bulb at a different time than the other. Our
delay box will calculate the difference in time between the top yellow bulb
and the later green bulb. BUT.... I didn't know Castrol Raceway was
using this feature, so I hadn't set up my delay box to do it! SO.... I
was launching my racecar at the same time as any slower-car competitor, when
I was supposed to be giving him/her a head start. This happened in May too.
A stupid, but complicated, mistake!
Sun. June 3: Lost in the first round. I had a
tolerable reaction time (.069 seconds) but then I "broke out", an automatic
loss. I ran the 1/4-mile in 8.94 seconds which was much quicker than my
dial-in of 9.05 seconds. The dial-in was a huge guess because the track was
shut down for nearly 2 hours due to an oil-down, and then I was nearly the
first one to race in changed (hotter) conditions on the freshly-cleaned
Chris towing the Roadster
July 28 & 29:
Sat. July 28: The suspension geometry changes we made
earlier in the week were a BIG help! The Mac's Motorsports 1927 Ford
Roadster had more consistent traction at the start, regardless of the
track temperature. We went 4 rounds - made it to the semi-finals!!!
:-) Then
lost to a guy who had an incredible reaction time (.003 seconds) and ran
almost exactly at his dial-in time.
Sun. July 29: Won the first round with a good
reaction time (for me anyway, .037 seconds) and then ran very close to the
8.97 second dial-in. Lost in the second round because I was having a nap at
the starting line when the green light came on (reaction time of nearly 1/4
second!). That's what happens when you have a thought go through your brain
while you're waiting / staring at the tree.
August 17, 18 & 19 - last races of the season:
We were at Castrol Raceway in
Edmonton for a 3-day drag racing event – including
the IHRA Division 6 Team Finals and Summit Super Series
Eliminations. Division 6 of IHRA covers Western Canada + NW USA, so
there were 150-200 racecars, including from Alaska!
We were 2nd in Box Class for the 2012
September 23 - on display:
The Mac's drag
car is on display Sunday at the 10th annual High River Show and Shine

The downtown streets are blocked off and filled with cars.
It's the largest car show in Southern Alberta (1,250 entries last
year). Come out for the last hot and sunny day of summer!
Hours: 10am - 4pm. Admission is free!
Directions: 20 minutes south of Calgary on the #2, west on
overpass, follow 12th Ave. to 1st St.

We've had a lot of
help in our thrashing to get the Mac's Roadster ready for the first
race of 2011.
Jason Loader
Concept Metal Works (fabrication)
This year we'll run the Mac's Motorsports 1927 Ford Roadster
ALL OUT at full throttle (unlike last year where we backed off the throttle
linkage and shifted at a lower RPM).
May 15: This was to be the first race of the
Calgary Drag Race Association (CDRA) 2011 season. However, the
race was cancelled because of the wind. Not a single pass was made by
anyone. It was unload, tech, wait, and load up again. That's a
first for us. We've had lots of rain-outs in the past, but never a
wind-out (if that's what you call it). Oh well, we're tied for first!
June 18 & 19: It's a
double-header weekend at Race City. On Sunday, the Father's Day Classic
includes feature cars such as Jet cars, Funny Cars, Dragsters, Altereds, and
the Full Tilt Boogie Wheelstander.
July 10: We lost the
race in the first round.
The car ran well all day, and the driver did okay. We got beat by a
few feet. Brent thought he had the other driver covered, so he eased
up a bit on the throttle at the very last moment to ensure he didn't "break
out" (run quicker than the time he had dialed in). He didn't realize,
but the other driver was gaining on him at the end, just behind what he
could see, and the instant Brent's foot came up the other driver's nose
poked ahead.
July 17: We lost in the
first round by "breaking out".
L We ran the quarter mile
in 9.146 seconds after "dialing in" (choosing) a time of 9.20. An
automatic loss.
Then we entered the Buy Back
competition between all the first round losers. 4 races later we
emerged as the
WINNER of
the Buy Back Group!!! Not nearly as good as winning on the "A" side,
but not a bad consolation prize.
August 14: We lost in the
first round by "breaking out".
At 9.11 seconds, we ran the
quarter mile quicker than the 9.14 seconds that we "dialed in" (chose)
before the run. Not allowed!
August 21: We were a DNS
(did not start) because, well, the car did not start!
It started the day before in the garage, but the starter cratered Sunday
morning. We've installed a new starter, and we're ready to go again
(and now we have a spare too!).
September 4, Last CDRA Race at Race City Speedway in Calgary EVER:
Unfortunately, Race City Speedway is being closed permanently in a few weeks, so this is
a sad day.
After Brent was eliminated from competition, Ron
of Mac's Convenience Stores took the wheel for some trial runs -
his first time EVER in a drag car. Impressive burn outs and quick
passes for a rookie! By his smile, he had some fun.
2010 Season
Wow, It's Fast: Our fastest
1/4 mile run was 145 MPH. Our quickest time was 9.177 seconds. That's a completely
different race than our Legends Car on the oval, where races that could be
up to an hour long!
The objective for 2010 was to learn the ropes for this new
beast called Drag Racing, develop and learn a "pre-starting-line" procedure,
improve reaction times, and focus on consistency.
June 5: Brent's first full pass down the Ľ-mile drag strip,
EVER, was in early June at Race City in Calgary. It was a
combination of test-n-tune, new car shakedown, and driver orientation. Best
run was 10.301 seconds @ 130.17 MPH. And Brent learned how to do a
burnout (kind of).
June 12: The following weekend in Medicine Hat he fulfilled the
requirements for an NHRA sub-10 second competition licence. Best run
was 9.177 seconds @ 144.89 MPH.
June 20: The Calgary Father's Day Classic was our
competition event. We won our first pass! Full
disclosure..... our competitor was also a rookie, and his reaction was even
slower than our horrid .174 seconds. We also won our 2nd pass, but more
legitimately. Lost in round 3 on a double break-out (where both racers
go quicker than their dialed-in time). I ran 9.373 on a 9.41 dial-in, but
competitor broke out by less than broke out by less than .037). A
great first race-day!
July 3: We made it to the finals!!!
J But lost. L
We had good reaction times (including one of .007 seconds!) and ran close to
our dial-in every pass. We lost the final round on a stupid technical
mistake..... After staging at the starting line (breaking the beam
with the front tires), I engaged the transmission brake (button on the
steering wheel) and released the brake pedal. The tranny brake should
hold the car in place, but due to slack in the rear end gears, the car
rolled back Ľ" or so, ROLLING OUT OF THE TIMING BEAM! That caused a
red light, just as if I had launched the car before the green. There
will be an electronic / mechanical mod to the car this winter to prevent it
from happening again.
July 24: Not a great race day. Won the
1st round despite a horrid reaction time. Lost the 2nd round
after spinning at the line due to an oil-down from one of the cars racing
before me.
September 12: Disappointing day. Lost
round 1 due to the worst reaction time of the year (aka "having a nap").
Paid to race in the "buy-back" round, but lost the 1st race after cutting a
GREAT light (.020 seconds).
All-in-all 2010 was a great rookie year. We didn't even
break anything! Next year - we'll open the throttle!
We're Back! (June
First Time Out..... We took the Mac's
Motorsports 1927 Ford Roadster to Race City (Calgary) on June 5 for its
maiden voyage – to shake down the car (newly assembled), break in the
engine, and break in the DRIVER! It was my first time down the drag
strip in ANY vehicle (not counting my 17 second / 60 mph putt-putt run 1.5
years ago immediately after I bought it). Best pass of the day was
10.30 seconds @ 130 mph. We also got some publicity – see
story AND VIDEO in the Calgary Beacon. The video isn't obvious –
click on the empty black box at the bottom of the article.
Licensing..... On June 12-13 I went to
the NHRA drag strip in Medicine Hat to get my sub-10-second license (required to
go quicker than 10 seconds in the Ľ mile). I completed the
licensing requirements. Best run was 9.177 seconds @ 143 mph!
A huge thrill!
The car is substantially de-tuned right now, including a
throttle-limiter to prevent full throttle, so it's capable of going a LOT
faster. But first the driver needs to get comfortable, familiar, and
So I'm ready to LEARN how to drag race. Before I go
faster, I'll try to learn how to be consistent and predictable. That's
what wins in bracket racing – pick the number you're GOING to run, and then
run it.
Special Thanks to the following who were instrumental
in building this race car and/or providing expert advice.....

If there's one thing I've learned recently it's that I have more control over the way that I react to situations in my life if I take the time to prepare my heart a little bit every day for whatever I may face. It's not about knowing you're going to face a battle and then mentally preparing yourself. It's about expecting that everyday might bring you a battle and you have to do a little bit every single day so that you are battle ready.
Battle Ready: Train Your Mind to Conquer Challenges, Defeat Doubt, and Live Victoriously
{This post contains affiliate links. For more info, read our full disclosure.}
In her newest book, Battle Ready Kelly Balarie has taken the time to break down what she calls the 12 Warrior-Mindsets. Each mindset is designed to help us change the way we are currently thinking about our situations. To reshape the challenges, troubles and even positive opportunities into situations where we can thrive. And all this happens because we've put the time in day by day to create a plan that lets us thrive.
As you work your way through these mindsets, there is space to work out what you're learning. Through questions and
Live Victoriously
Through each page, Balarie will point you back towards living victoriously with God. It's not a book that will prop you up for a moment. It's a book that will give you the tools necessary to continuously live your best life.
No matter what gets thrown at us each and every day, when we can spend some time focused on the possibilities and ways God is encouraging us to turn to him, we live victoriously. Battle Ready will teach you, the reader, learn how to face the worst moments of life with hope. When you live Battle Ready, you're not going to have to question whether or not you are thriving in life. You will know that you are sitting in the palm of God's hand, and trusting His plan for your every day.
I received a copy of this book from the publisher. This review is my own, honest opinion.

Give Miami Day is coming up on Nov. 17. It's the largest annual giving campaign in the southeast US. Hundreds of local nonprofits are a part of it and local philanthropies match all donations made that day between $25 and $10,000. It nets a ton of money for organizations working to make our city a better place – last year they raised $7.1 million, a record for the campaign.
We want to hear from you, our community, about where you're putting your money and why. What's so amazing about the organization you support? How is it changing the city? How is it connecting people? How is it making Miami a better place to live? We'll be using this info to help build a guide for all the newbies encountering it for the first time.

Change Australia Day, the Flag and the Anthem to represent all Australians
This petition had 39 supporters
Australia is one of the most desirable places on earth to live and enjoy, and we have all arguably won the lottery of life by being able to live here, whether we were born here or have come as immigrants. Yet we still have a significant divide between aboriginal and non-aboriginal Australians which cannot be fixed by money, education and similar assistance alone.
No current day Australians, aboriginal or non-aboriginal, were party to the days of early settlement and the resultant taking over of aboriginal land. Australia is a big country. Whether we like it or not, sooner or later Australia was going to be found and settled by European or other explorers, with the resultant takeover of aboriginal lands.
The vast majority of Australians want to move on towards full reconciliation between aboriginal and non-aboriginal Australians so that we can focus on progressing this great nation together in a complex and challenging world.
Many advances towards reconciliation have been made, But we as a nation have not done the best we can until we have identified and replaced those elements representing our nation that are unacceptable to descendants of the original inhabitants of our country.
It is obvious that three important symbols of Australia which are completely one-sided, and it would be surprising if descendants of original inhabitants ever accepted them:
- The Australian Flag with its Union Jack in the corner does not represent aboriginal history and culture. It is a reminder of takeover of aboriginal lands. The Union Jack has lessening relevance to Australia now, especially to the many immigrants from other nations and those born here. Some real action is needed to develop a flag that can be respected by aboriginal and non-aboriginal Australians.
- The National Anthem ignores aboriginal heritage in this country and can never be considered to be a national anthem until it is fixed to address this. We could go to a different anthem, or the words could quite readily be changed to address this significant issue. There have been many good suggestions put forward - just search the internet. It is time to address this properly and effectively.
- Australia Day currently recognises the date of the start of European settlement in Australia. There is no point in continuing with 26th January as a celebration when it is offensive to aboriginal Australians. Australia Day should be a day we can all celebrate our culture, lifestyle, achievements and look to the future. We need an alternate milestone in our history that can be celebrated by us all. There are obvious alternatives - we just need good will, sensible inclusive debate and resolution.
We all see the protests. The protests will just get louder and louder each year until something happens on these three items.
Please accept the responsibility we entrust to our politicians to lead this country now, and jointly start the path to sort out this situation that none of us created but we all need to have fixed. It may take some time, but we need to start the journey in a non-political, coordinated and positive manner.

Our purpose in developing this report is to provide an independent, credible benchmark study to Executives and Board members across corporate, mid-tier and junior listed companies in Australia on Board and Executive remuneration. We aim to guide the development of executive pay arrangements to ensure Executives create value with shareholders (and other stakeholders) and not from them.
The BDO Board & Executive Remuneration Report 2018 is the most comprehensive report of its kind produced in Australia. It incorporates over 1,400 ASX listed companies (substantially more than any other executive pay report produced in the country), representing well over 11,000 incumbents across a number of Executive Director, Key Management Personnel and Non-Executive Director roles. The hard data is based on disclosed information from the most recent 2017 annual reports, grouped into select 10 market categories in terms of each company's market capitalisation as at January 2018.
Board and Executive remuneration is well publicised for large blue chip companies. We expect this trend to trickle down to juniors and mid-cap tier listed companies where there is a lack of equivalent affordable, granular and credible remuneration data available for defensible decision making.

Health Risk Assessments
Health Risk Assessments-Preventing Illness and Avoiding Complications of Chronic Diseases
The Health Risk Assessment (HRA) Program was developed to identify and monitor current and historical health issues that may affect Trusted HP members. The program also identifies appropriate assignment of members to disease and case management programs to ensure they receive quality health care.
A major focus of the Health Risk Assessment Program is to ensure, when appropriate, that members are empowered to self-manage their illness. Trusted HP assists the members in making decisions regarding their health care and receiving appropriate medical care and support. Trusted HP's goal is to ensure members receive continuity of care, continuous clinical evaluations, and positive humanistic and economic outcomes resulting in improved overall health. Trusted HP will identify members as they are assigned to the health plan by performing a health risk assessment questionnaire. If the member completes the telephone assessment they will receive a $25.00 Target Gift Card. The Health Risk Assessment Program is very closely tied to the Disease Management Program and assist in identifying members for specific disease management outreach activities. As members are identified and referred to the disease management program, Trusted HP will also incentivize those members according to the specific disease management criteria.
Program Monitoring
The quality management staff will perform the HRA tool monthly. Each new member will be contacted and asked questions about their current health concerns.
All HRA tools performed will be tracked within the program tracking tool.
Members referred to the disease management programs will be monitored within the specific disease management program.

I have worked as a member of the postgraduate academic team at Keele University, across a range of our postgraduate courses, for over 20 years! I have responsibility for updating and further developing our on-line distance learning modules for our Clinical Pharmacy Practice Diploma Programme. I am taking the lead on developing this course internationally. I also provide educational support to the MSc programme and Independent Prescribing course.
I have a broad range of experience from working:
- as a clinical directorate pharmacist in a large teaching hospital
- within regional medicine information centres
- with GPs at a regional level to produce evidence based advice on the prescribing of new drugs
- within primary care as a PCT practice based pharmacist
- as part of a health technology team, producing technology appraisals for NICE.
When I joined Keele in 2005 I helped establish the Midlands Therapeutic Review and Advisory Committee, which continues today to provide timely advice to GPs in the West Midlands on the prescribing of new medicines. I headed up the Medicines Evaluation Unit at Keele for 8 years, and was involved in regional and national strategic developments in relation to prescribing guidance on new drugs.
In 2003 I gained an MSc in Health Technology assessment. My particular areas of interest are medicines optimisation, systematic evaluation of the evidence and the application of this evidence in practice.

Source of Information or 'Dog and Pony Show'?: Judicial Information Seeking During U.S. Supreme Court Oral Argument, 1963-1965 & 2004-2009
by James Cleith Phillips (University of California, Berkeley – School of Law) and Edward Carter (Brigham Young University)
Santa Clara Law Review, Vol. 50, pp. 101-203, 2010
Scholars and lawyers have long debated what role, if any, oral argument plays in the U.S. Supreme Court's decision-making process. While some have attempted anecdotally to determine whether or not Justices use oral argument to gather information in order to decide a case, few have attempted to investigate oral argument empirically. Additionally, no scholar to date has specifically measured the levels of information-seeking behavior during oral argument of individual Justices. Finally, there have been few studies attempting to quantitatively compare oral argument behavior in different time periods. This study attempts to address such deficiencies in Supreme Court scholarship.

Hulk Hogan Loves Johnny Manziel
Without a doubt the biggest question that many people will have going into this year's NFL Draft is "Which team is gonna draft Johnny Manziel?" Manziel has a lot of people saying that he's too small to play in the NFL, but Johnny should feel good that one particular person has his back. And this person is HULK HOGAN!
Yup, Hulk Hogan is a big Johnny Football fan and last week when he was promoting Wrestlemania 30, he went on a rant on how much he likes Manziel.

text: Health Kettlebells tick all the boxes as far as I, as a trainer, am concerned. My clients want great results in minimum time, and they want fun and varied workouts. The kettlebell delivers on all counts. So, what is it about kettlebells that make them the best choice for fat loss? 1. Maximum Results, Minimum Time You hit every muscle in the body in most of the kettlebell moves – string a few targetted exercises together in a circuit (or even in one super exercise) you leave no muscle un-worked. This is they key when it .es to maximum fat loss – working as much of the body as you can. The bodybuilding style of hitting one muscle at a time is very outdated when it .es to fat loss in less time – of course bodybuilders have very little fat and plenty of muscle, but it takes hours of painstaking work to get there. Kettlebells deliver double the results in half the time – a no-brainer in our busy world. 2. Kettlebell Training Boosts the Metabolism – So You Burn Fat All Day Long! Muscle uses up more calories at rest than the equivalent weight of fat, and also takes up less space. So if you are .posed of more muscle and less fat, you take up less space and can eat more calories just to maintain your weight! A double whammy, that is the result of the fact that muscle is more metabolically active. Kettlebells enable you to create long, lean muscles that are burning more calories while you do nothing than all that extra fat. Kettlebells make your body a fat burning furnace! Added to the long term effect of having more muscle in relation to fat, is the fact that you actually burn more calories all day after a kettlebell session. When you burn 300 calories on a cross trainer or treadmill, you get off and go back to normal. With intense kettlebell training, you not only burn more in a session, but you also continue burning calories for 24 – 48 hours (known as post-exercise oxygen consumption, EPOC). 3. Kettlebells Make Your Life Easier! Increasing the strength and tone of your muscles means you will not only look incredible, but you will function better too. Whether you are carrying shopping or children, or playing your favourite sport, being strong means you can perform better in every area of your life. If you are used to throwing around a heavy weight in your training sessions, a bag of shopping seems easy in .parison. You also get cardiovascular conditioning, so previously hard activities, like running up the stairs, will also seem easy. You can get more done in your day when you are fitter. Kettlebells are superior to traditional weight training as you perform movements that mimic the challenges of daily life, and the uneven stresses that are imposed on the body. In addition, the kettlebell is held differently, and has an offset centre of gravity, meaning your small, stabilising muscles have to work harder to support the weight. This adds a core challenge to every exercise (for great abs and a strong back) as well as preventing injury by strengthening all your muscles, including the stabilising muscles. In terms of fat loss, this is an added bonus – if you are laid off exercise because you are injured you are likely to get fat again and lose all the results of your hard work! Training yourself to be strong and injury-free means you can keep yourself in tip-top shape all the time. Copyright (c) 2009 Caroline Radway About the Author: 相关的主题文章:

Aberdeen in Colour will use creative lighting to showcase the city's landmarks, civic spaces and streetscape. It will improve wayfinding, enhance cultural experiences, and make the city centre even more welcoming.
It proposes individual schemes for the Castlegate; Union Street; Belmont Street; Langstane Place; Correction Wynd; Golden Square; Wellington and Victoria Bridges; the banks of the River Dee; St Nicholas Kirk; The Green; Donald's Way; and Adelphi Lane.
The strategy and implementation plan was adopted by the Council in February 2018 and businesses cases will be developed for the schemes.
Aberdeen City Council and Aberdeen Inspired have agreed to fund the Langstane Place installation, which – subject to the necessary planning permissions – would see custom-made lights suspended above the street.
CCMP Project EN11: "A comprehensive lighting masterplan that identifies lighting proposals to enhance night time safety and improve the vibrancy and attractiveness of the city centre environment at all times of day. Lighting solutions will need to consider energy conservation and reduce light pollution. The opportunity must be taken to achieve emissions reductions through the specification of energy efficient lighting, and introduce intelligent controls to minimize unnecessary lighting and consequential energy inefficiencies."
Aberdeen in Colour was drawn up by award-winning lighting design consultancy Steensen Varming and informed by a public survey.
SV designed the lighting for Sydney Opera House and has already produced a festive lighting design for The Green (below) in Aberdeen.

It's true that wedding rings are an investment in commitment and a lifelong journey, but do you also consider your ring a financial investment? You should! Today the team at William Thomas Jewelers is sharing insight into the benefit of investing in diamonds.
At William Thomas Jewelers we strive to create not only a beautiful piece of wearable art, but also a memorable experience and an overall investment. We've been Madison's premier custom jeweler for over 20 years, hand-crafting jewelry for all occasions. When led by our clients artistic vision, we create beautiful custom pieces to be cherished for years to come. Clients come to William Thomas Jewelers to celebrate a season in life with jewelry, and are not often thinking of the investment beyond the joy it will bring to the recipient, but the appreciation factor of custom jewelry is certainly work considering!
- High-quality diamonds have historically gone up in value over time, showing steady incremental growth and large increases each year.
- Diamonds are insurable unlike most other investments, making them a relatively low-risk option.
- Unlike many other investments that you lock away or that exist only as a balance on paper, a diamond as an investment doesn't have to sit in a vault, and it doesn't require checking a bank account balance. A diamond is an investment that you can actually wear and enjoy!
- Diamonds don't "wear out" or go out of style – specifically the round diamond, it is a timeless cut!
- A diamond will not change over time if it is well taken care of, and it is very hard to scratch/crack a diamond. They are the hardest substance on earth! Chips can happen if the stone is hit at the right angle with enough pressure; specifically, at the most vulnerable part of the stone, the girdle (the widest point of the stone), so keep a closer eye on that area for chips! If a chip does happen, some insurance policies will cover it and replace your diamond, but it can also be re-cut to remove a chip.
- They are beautiful and portable!
- Diamond grading is somewhat subjective, and can vary slightly between different appraisers. Make sure to connect with a trustworthy jeweler (like William Thomas Jewelers) to be sure that you are getting a fair value
- A report from GIA, the most highly respected lab, is a must for proof of its quality. GIA, the Gemological Institute of America, will provide the strictest and most accurate grade to certify your diamond. You can send a stone directly to the lab and they will send it back with a diamond grading report!
We'd love to create custom wedding rings or anniversary jewelry with you! Contact us to set up a consultation on our Featured Vendor Profile Page.

First Edition of John Gardner's Icebreaker; Signed by Him
Gardner, John.$975.00
Item Number: 28009
London: Jonathan Cape, 1983.
First edition of the third novel by John Gardner featuring Ian Fleming's secret agent, James Bond. Octavo, original cloth. Signed by John Gardner on the title page. Fine in a fine dust jacket. Uncommon signed.
Mel Watkins writing in The New York Times Book Review praised Gardner for adding "a touch of the plot subtlety of less insistently action-oriented thrillers." He also applauded Gardner's updating of Bond. "Although Mr. Gardner's Bond is less raffishly macho and arrogant than previously depicted," observed Watkins, "the spirit of the 007 series remains intact, and few Fleming admirers are likely to object. There is, in fact, something appealing about a James Bond who can react to women with some sympathy and confusion at a crucial moment."

Whether if you are a student or if there is a student in your family, then you may be eligible to buy Microsoft products and therefore purchase Windows 7 Ultimate operating system when it is launched on the 22nd of October.
This is assuming that Microsoft will make Windows 7 Ultimate available immediately; furthermore, historically, Microsoft doesn't sell entry level Windows (like Home version or even Professional version), only the high end.
Software4Students for example is one of the websites mentioned on Microsoft's UK educational section and has also appeared in the Daily Telegraph and the Guardian. This means that you can buy from them with confidence even if their price could seem too good to be true.
Each student in a family is entitled to purchase only one license of each product to prevent abuse per academic year. This means that over one year, you can buy only one Windows 7 Ultimate and install it on one computer only at any one time. Nothing prevents you from buying one more license each year you are a student for yourself or if you want to give these away.
Microsoft has its own scheme called The Ultimate Scheme which is currently not available and should return before the end of September 2009.
When it was operational, TUS sold Windows Vista Ultimate for as little as £38.95, a 91 percent discount off the official retail price but you would need an "ac.uk" email address.
Software4Students sold Windows Vista Ultimate Upgrade for £56.75 and it is likely that Windows 7 Ultimate will sell for the same price.
Although in most cases, you won't need a student ID, you will receive a full working application with a product key but without the shrink wrapped box. Find more about Software4students here. Windows 7 Ultimate for business purposes.Microsoft's UK education sub-section is slightly overwhelming amd the relevant section cane be found here.
Other educational providers that should be able to provide you with Windows 7 Ultimate (as a student) include The Basement from educational specialists RM (which also gives 5 percent cash back to schools) as well as selected schools who have the powers to "license all or some of their students for home use of Microsoft software, through their School Agreement". The great thing being that when the students leave the establishment, they get to take the application with them for free.
Pugh.co.uk will probably sell Windows 7 Ultimate for as little as £63.02, a price that includes VAT while Studentexpressware has it for £58.71 which includes 1st class delivery.
The suggested retail price of Windows 7 Ultimate is likely to be £230. Surprisingly, you won't find many vendors on Ebay selling educational Windows software, probably because the risk of piracy is too high.
Teachers as well as people who work in education also can benefit from these scheme. Public Libraries, Public Museums and Charitable organisations may also be covered. Note that not respecting the license conditions is tantamount to counterfeiting and will be considered as a crime. This also means that you won't be able to use the educational version of
