Cafe Terra
April 30, 2007
This review is also available on burrp!
In the mood to hang out at a charming, little café on lazy weekend and indulge in some waffles or crepes? Café Terra, formerly known as Dek Lekkerbek, is hidden in the first floor of a building in 80 feet road in Koramangala. Wrong iron and rubberwood furniture, framed prints on the walls and a bookcase in one corner with Tintin comics work together to create a bistro-diner feel. The restaurant, which specializes in Belgian waffles, has a menu which includes breakfast items such as omelettes, sausages and crepes, lunch options including soups, starters, pastas, noodles and grilled and baked dishes, and a variety of hot and cold beverages.
Try the Belgian waffles with seasonal fruit. Our waffles came with sliced bananas and pineapples and decorated with chocolate syrup with a side of maple syrup. They were delicious. The ham and cheese crepes were good too although the crepe or the base could have been a bit lighter. The scrambled eggs which came with toast were fluffy and very well made. Coffee was passable.
Service is somewhat slow but friendly. Parking is available on the road. Breakfast for two is approximately Rs.250. Go there for breakfast on a weekend with significant others. Kids will enjoy the meal too.

On a Plum Cake Trail!
December 22, 2006
What's Christmas without plum cakes? If you are wondering where to buy your plum cake this X'mas, here is a peek at the products from some bakeries in Bangalore.
All Saints Bakery
The plum cakes in this old-world bakery are very fruity and likely to appeal to folks who like their plum cake on the sweeter side. The cakes have a gentle rum flavour and are mild to taste.
Location: 126/2, Brigade Road, Bangalore, ph:25572091.
Fatima's Bakery
Lots of tutti-frutti and slightly on the drier side, no rum flavour to speak of, I was not too impressed with Fatima's plum cake.
Location: 1/2 Hosur Road, Bangalore, ph: 25510378.
Very rich and extremely moist with rum soaked, aged raisins, Koshy's plum cakes taste like they have been baked the old-fashioned way. The cakes are not too sweet and the strong rum flavouring packs quite a punch. Delicious! Kids, however, may find the taste too strong.
Koshy's Bakery- 1, Wellington Street, Richmond Town, Bangalore, ph:22211516.
Tiny store near the restaurant – 39, St.Marks Road, Bangalore, ph:22213793 (ph no. of the restaurant)
Daily Bread
For the non-traditional version, try the plum cakes at Daily Bread. You can have the rum plum cake which is well, rummy, soft and crumbles in your mouth. The rich plum cake with extra fruits is very, very nutty (with plenty of almonds) and moist with a mild caramel flavour. The rum content is less than the Koshy's plum cake but nevertheless this cake is sure to be a crowd pleaser.
Location: Daily Bread, 43, 4th B Cross, 5th Block, Koramangala Industrial Area, Koramangala, Bangalore-95, ph: 2563-1302/1304.
Branches in Church Street, Indiranagar, Bangalore Central, Forum Mall (inside Fabmall), Koramangala (inside Big Bazaar), Banshankari (inside Big Bazaar) and Ulsoor.
Sweet Chariot
Distinctly different from the other bakeries, the Sweet Chariot plum cakes are sweet, with a strong rum taste, aged raisins, spices and a mild marzipan flavour. Very rich!
Location: 15/2, Residency Road, Bangalore, ph:41120556.
Various branches in Bangalore.
On the drier side, with raisins, cashews mixed fruits and vegetables (it has chopped and glazed apples, carrots, mangoes and dates) and a mild rum flavour.
Location: Nilgiris Building, 171, Brigade Road, Bangalore, ph: 25588401
Nilgiris Supermarket locations: Airport Road, Frazer Town, Jayanagar, R.T. Nagar, Jalahalli, Malleshwaram, Kammanahalli, Bannerghatta Road.
My rankings for the plum cakes:
- Koshys
- Daily Bread & Sweet Chariot
- All Saints
- Nilgiris
- Fatimas
So go on, indulge in some plum cake and wine and have a Merry Christmas!

A Data-First Checklist For Choosing The Right IoT Solution

5 min read The Right IoT Solution : A Hard Choice to Make Reasons to [...]
Reasons to connect everyday products are no longer confined to the 'Jetsons' fantasy of an automated world. As technologies become more affordable and accessible, more and more consumer and industrial devices will connect to the Internet. But before halting operations and jumping into a connected IoT project, it is important to understand why connectivity is important. As previously summarized by Harvard Business Review, some of the leading reasons driving IoT solution strategies today include:
With now over 400 companies offering IoT platforms to connect and manage connected products, several industry analysts have reported on criteria that should be taken in consideration when trying to select the right solution. This list of criteria from Forbes highlights some of the most important ones:
RELATED: interested in monetizing your data? click below to read more!
While these are very relevant, they focus on the hardware-to-cloud part of the IoT stack (i.e. connectivity and device management layers). To add to this list, we will focus on the criteria that pertain to the most talked about (and important) part of the IoT stack: the data analytics layer.
An IoT project without advanced data analytics is like a football team without a coach. Every decision is taken individually, based at best on instinct, sometimes out of fear, and without any coordination and common goals. And like the coach of a football team, to be able to adequately evaluate the performance of the team, assets strengths and weaknesses, adapt to the need of the group and communicate instructions, success is based on intimate and in depth knowledge of each and every player on the team. This is why the more knowledge that is captured and readily available on the connected products and their environment, the more efficient and accurate the business decisions will be. We hence describe 5 additional criteria to be carefully weighted and discussed when selecting a data-first IoT solution:
back in the days of M2M, sharing time-series alone (e.g. temperature, humidity, vibration, etc.) was often enough for two systems to cooperate. Now in the IoT era, capturing and sharing events (e.g. button pressed, panel on, etc.) is as important as the time-series themselves to efficiently analyse connected products and to succeed when undertaking IoT projects. Furthermore, the coverage and diversity of these captured events should be carefully defined. A data-first IoT solution should be able to manage:
And finally, events triggered by humans, like operators, service technicians or customers should be distinguishable from automated events (e.g. door opened, button pressed, filter replaced, etc.).
Integration with third party solutions and existing lines of business applications is of the upmost importance to further increase the value of actionable insights. A data-first IoT solution should be able to easily (and cost effectively) stream data out in near real-time by providing appropriate publish/subscribe services. These include, but are not limited to, Web sockets, MQTT and AMQP, etc.
To achieve the high levels of accuracy required in production environments, prediction models often require large training and test sets of data that span across multiple months and often times years. A data-first IoT solution should scale enough to be able to appropriately store and manage the very large sets of data required to train advanced AI models and make accurate predictions.
With a strong need for standardization in the IoT space, and to improve the time-to-insight, data-first IoT solutions should natively embed (and comply to) libraries of out-of-the-box, industry standard data models. These include, for example, models and data structures from the OGC, the OIC, Project Haystack, oneIoTa, or the W3C. Use of standard models not only facilitates data exchange, but the rich descriptions they provide (e.g. points on the evaporator, heating modes, harmonic distortion, cooling capability, etc.) maximizes possible correlations between the sensor data and the deployed connected ecosystem.
Data enrichment refers to processes used to enhance, refine or improve raw data. Enrichment contributes to making data and ultimately insights a more valuable and actionable asset. A data-first IoT solution should be able to easily integrate with external enrichment services (e.g. geo location, weather, crime rates, population density, etc.) as well as internal services (e.g. CRM data, ERP data, asset management data, etc.).
By now it should be clear, that the importance of a data-first solution cannot be understated. But in addition to choosing the right solution, organizations must ensure they can quickly and efficiently support new data sources at larger and faster speeds.
There is great value in IoT data, and even greater value in actionable data insights. But without the right IoT solution to query, visualize, analyze and share the results, data is just another unchecked box on a growing to do list.

I love this book. For the record, the book is called The Adventures Of Superhero Girl. It is hilarious, and I can't stop reading it. You should read it. It is a great book. Seriously. But it also makes me think. What will I be like when I am older? Throughout the book, I see Superhero Girl's triumphs and failures. And it makes me wonder… wonder who I will become.
So where am I?
That's me. And as I read this book (not COMIC, BOOK. Get it through your head), I'm questioning my future more and more. Where will I end up?

I wasn't sure what I was going to do at all. I picked up two different kinds and shades of purple and couldn't decide so I got both. But, the pink, I wasn't sure what direction to take. Hot pink, sweet pink? Print, solid? And then I saw this fabric, for a buck, and it was so perfect I absolutely bought it and brought it home.
With the delicate silver and pink fabric it reminds me of tulle. It's a little sparkle and very confectionery. It truly couldn't have been more perfect. Makes me almost want to be little again.
And as for the flowers, I ended up using both purples and I like the effect. Neither one of them was up for the job alone, but together they were just right. My mom says she likes that they aren't so wild that she can't wear them for things other than dress up. I hope she's right. I know they don't go with everything, but I am sure she has another purple or pink item in her wardrobe.
Happy birthday, Miss A! Love Aunt Phee.

Medlin, Lady Bulldogs down Scott City, 49-48
SCOTT CITY -- Sikeston's girls basketball team won a 49-48 thriller over Scott City on Thursday night, improving to 12-6 on the season.
Jennifer Medlin hit the game-winning shot and led Sikeston's offense with 19 points overall.
"Jennifer is learning she can do more than just shoot the three," said Sikeston coach Lee Brooks. "She can go inside, and she's our top free throw shooter. She listens well, tries hard and gives it everything she's got. She's a gutsy player."
The Lady Bulldogs fell into a 17-12 hole in the first quarter, but managed to shave Scott City's lead at halftime down to two points.
The Lady Rams increased their lead to 37-32 heading into the fourth quarter, but Sikeston rallied in the final period, trailing by one point with 14 seconds left.
The Lady Bulldogs got the ball to Joy Daniel in the paint, who drew three defenders. Daniel passed the ball to Medlin, who put up the game-winner with nine seconds left.
Scott City was unable to score in the final moments, giving Sikeston a 49-48 win.
"I saw a better team than I thought I would see," Brooks said of Scott City. "The girls weren't sharp tonight. We played Twin Rivers and then played Oran last night. We were just playing off of guts."
Daniel finished with 15 points and Ashley Johnson contributed seven. Stephanie Clark and Kerri Jones each contributed two.
Sophomore standout Loren Groves led the Scott City attack with 22 points.
"With the addition of Ashley Johnson, we have really come on as a team," said Brooks. "Tonight, I put her on Groves and she did a good job. Had we not had somebody in her face, Groves might have scored 42."
Sikeston will host Jackson on Monday and Kelly on Tuesday.
Sikeston also won the junior varsity game by one point, 33-32. Nyketia Johnson led the Lady Bulldogs with 12 points while Mia Welch contributed six.

New Magnum Work Collection coming soon
Since 1982, Magnum has provided high-performance product, unmatched in comfort, technology and value, and used by law enforcement, military, fire, rescue, and emergency medical and service agencies worldwide. Magnum have now broadened the range even further to include the new WORK[FIT] collection, designed specifically for healthcare and food service employees.
Phase 1 of the launch of this new collection took place at the Workwear & Corporate Clothing Show 2011 in Coventry, which provides the latest and greatest in professional clothing, from Emergency Services PPE to industrial workwear, healthcare and hospitality uniforms to corporate tailoring. Since then, the Magnum product team have been working tirelessly to perfect the product, which features the innovative new Magnum slip resistant outsole, Hex-Traction. Specially designed at microscopic levels to give the maximum level of grip and traction, this footwear has been engineered to perform in the most demanding conditions for professionals looking for the next generation of on-the-job footwear.
When focussing on the healthcare market, our research has shown that whilst there is an NHS instruction regarding the use of protective clothing, including aprons, gloves, gowns and masks – there is no directive for footwear. However, the Royal College of Nursing (RCN) do provide some "minimum standards" guidance on uniforms and workwear for employers and employees, stating that footwear should be comfortable, non-slip, have enclosed toes and provide support (sandals, clogs or shoes without heel support may not be deemed suitable when undertaking patient handling). The Department of Health (DoH) also offer some guidance for NHS employers/employees, advising that it is "good practice" to wear soft-soled shoes (which reduce noise in ward) that are closed over the foot and toes, as closed shoes offer protection from spills and dropped objects, and open shoes risk injury or contamination for staff.
For phase 2 of the WORK[FIT] collection launch, Magnum attended the Royal College of Nursing Congress Exhibition in Harrogate (May 2012) to promote the Anti-Slipper HPi shoe, which adheres to both the RCN's minimum standards guidance and the DoH's good practice advice.Share

Here's my first verse to memorize for the month of February:
"Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts".
Psalm 139:23 NIV
I've recently been thinking about the Psalms of David and how he was brave enough to ask God to reveal to him his heart....to help him see the root of his actions. It's a scary thing to see our own hearts like God does! He knows our motives behind everything that we do and say!
I want my heart to be pure and reflect God's love in all that I do. We don't always feel like doing or saying the godly thing, but I want to intentionally choose to do what Jesus would do :)
You won't waste any prayers on me if you'd be willing to pray for me in this matter. And please let me know if there is anything at all I can pray about for you :) There is power in prayer!

I really hate to admit this, but all of my 2009 and 2010 lessons sit on two separate network drives at school. They are neatly organized by unit and easily accessible from our network drives. When 2011 starts, I could theoretically choose what I want to carry over from the previous year and copy into a new folder. At the end of this school year I finally decided to abandon this antiquated system. There are two main reasons I starting thinking about a change. First, in order for me to compare what I did in 2009 with 2010, I actually have to open up both documents in new windows. Then I have to move from window to window to catch the differences. Another struggle with this system is that it makes it harder for me to reflect on changes. My reflections a) usually come at night and b) are fleeting. In all honesty, sometimes the extra 3-5 minutes it takes to load up Citrix and access the network is just enough of a barrier to prevent me from going back into my lesson and adding my reflection.
Both of these problems led me to a decision: I will move my lesson planning into the cloud. For 2011, I am going to use Google Docs to plan lessons, write lecture notes, and store materials. I believe that Google Docs will allow me to take care of both of the aforementioned problems. First, I can simply overwrite my lessons year after year (or day after day), keeping them in one file, yet always having the ability to revert to something I did years ago. Additionally, I can use this same "see revision history" function to review changed made year-to-year or comments added after I implemented a lesson. Even better, I will have access to my lessons at my fingertips. I am always logged into Gmail (at school, home, mobile), making my work much more accessible than through good ole Citrix.
There are a few drawbacks to this approach. The first of which is collaboration. Yes, it is easy to collaborate on Google Docs, but most of my colleagues are much more comfortable reviewing documents through the network drive and Microsoft Word. That said, it might be easier to share documents with substitutes, who do not have access/knowledge to get in and out of our shared folders. In addition, for both substitutes and colleagues, Google solved the problem of not having a Google account with its recent sharing updates. Another drawback is the fact that I am without my content if the internet goes down. With everything in the cloud, if there is an internet outage, I would not be able to access my content. That said, this also could happen (and does) with our network drives. Third, I am beholden to Google as a safe repository of my work. If the company goes rogue, I am in deep trouble if I have not been backing up my items regularly.
These changes are important to me because I believe one principle of great teaching is lesson reflection and improvement. Ideally, some reflection occurs within 24 hours of a lesson and then again at the end of a unit. During class, unintended teaching opportunities arise that we hadn't anticipated. Capturing these insights is much more likely with reflection. In reflecting, we can take advantage of those unintended opportunities that arose during class. By reviewing a lesson after a summative assessment, we have more perspective on how our formative work helped/hindered objective mastery. Unfortunately, this is a time-consuming task and often gets pushed to the bottom of our to do list as it is important, but it is not urgent. I think moving my lessons to the cloud will not make time for reflection suddenly appear, but it may eliminate some of the barriers making it harder to do.

|The OVER THE TOP GOLF instructional eBook is here!!
FORT PIERCE, Florida - For the last few years, golfers from all over the world have had to buy my DVD in order to learn the great OVER THE TOP GOLF swing method. Even though I'm proud to say that I have sold hundreds of them, I can't help but feel that the prospect of having to wait for the item in the mail probably turned many potential customers away. Today all of that changes because you can now begin your journey to golfing happiness in the next five minutes. The OVER THE TOP GOLF instructional eBook is here!!
It didn't take long for my first student to show up. Steve was kind enough to send the following email:
Hi Frankie--
I just watched the e-book. It is a clear presentation of the swing and a nice complement to the DVD.
I picked up a few pointers that weren't clear in the DVD--it appears one has much freedom choosing grip, lead arm vs. trail arm, power, etc.
For short game pitches/swings do you use an OTT swing at a certain distance (say beyond 40 yds?)
I would be interested in your approach to your sand game and chipping.
Thanks for the new product--I'll let you know how the journey continues.
Take care--
I created the OVER THE TOP GOLF eBook because it presents my golf swing method more clearly than the video does. Through simple drawings with narratives, the student can easily understand the mechanics of this simple golf swing. Many people have called it unconventional but everyone seems to agree that it works. I hope that you will take this effective yet inexpensive step toward improving your golf swing. And just like Steve, please feel welcome to let me know how YOUR journey goes.

How come Belgians aren't fat?
Bruges, Belgium's medieval jewel, "Venice of the North", is home to a thousand chocolate shops, too many famous artists to mention and Wally de Backer, better known as the pop star, er, Gotye. (no, nor have I). Here, when you are tired of chocolate, you eat chips, mayo, waffles, cream, egg nog (Advocaat), drink copious amounts of Trappist Beer (around 6-14% alcohol) or a bewildering variety of locally made Gins, Vodkas and weirder spirits.
We stayed in The Dukes' Palace, super-central, flawless 5* Gaff. Actually, most of the multiple hotels and BnBs are super-central; you can walk from one side of town to the other in about half an hour.
Bruges is small, pretty, ancient, friendly, free of crime, with confusingly planned cobbled streets connecting the many churches and squares all of which are delicately lit at night.
Art: we stood in awe before Hieronymus Bosch's Last Judgement, a kind of Dali-esque depiction of both Heaven and Hell and we admired one of the finest collections of Bruge's own welshman Frank Brangwyn. God: We genuflected before the Blood of Christ himself in the Basilica. Food: we ate at Patrick Devos (fabulous and expensive) and Poules Moules (fun and cheap) and drank Brugse Zot beer (6%) with three brothers from Leeds whilst watching Scotland beat Wales at rugby in Delaney's Irish Bar.
It's hard to find fault with this lovely little town only 3 hours away by Eurostar (via Brussels). But like the taxi driver said, watch out for cyclists and above all the horse-drawn carriages who could all use an visit to driving school.

Using the module requires a one-time setup inside Referrizer and a small change in how you deal with wait list clients inside MINDBODY. Both aspects are covered in detail below. Before you proceed further, please make sure that your Referrizer-Mindbody integration is active. You can contact your Account Manager if you need help with setting up the integration.
Click on the link here to access the MINDBODY "Fill Last Minute Openings" module.
You can also navigate to the module by clicking on Account Options (left-menu) -> Apps/Integration -> Mindbody -> Fill Last Minute Openings (Button at the Top-Right corner)
Click the toggle button to turn on the module. The button will turn blue when the module is active.
Click on the Settings button at the top right corner.
You will see 3 tabs, as shown below.
Let's look at each one of these tabs in order.
We already provide default values for each input field, so if you want, you can leave them as is.
Field 1: "Start filling cancelled spots _____ hours before the class starts..."
This is where you determine how far ahead Referrizer will look into your MINDBODY schedule to see if there are any cancelled spots. For example, if this is set to 24 hours, Referrizer will look a full one day ahead in your schedule and activate the automated booking system for any class that:
Field 2: "...allow clients _____ minutes to respond..."
This is the amount of time for which the system will 'hold' the spot for the text message recipient. After this time has elapsed, they can still get the slot by replying with "BOOK", but there is no guarantee that the slot will still be available.
In the Sending Schedule table, you can determine when invitation SMS should not be sent (to make sure you don't disturb your customers at odd times).
You can modify the SMS templates here. Make sure you don't remove any of the necessary tags, such as [service_title], [service_time] and [account_title]. Without these, your recipients will not know which class they are being messaged about and who the message is coming from.
The Account Owner will always receive email notification of a successful booking. You can add/remove other recipients on this screen.
Inside MINDBODY, don't use the "Waitlist Confirmed" option to confirm a client's visit, because that can interfere with how we fill last minute openings for you. MINDBODY does not communicate the information to Referrizer when this option is selected, so we can end up sending text messages to clients whose visit you have already confirmed manually.
If you end up wanting to confirm a client's visit manually, first remove them from the list:
then add them again to the class:
You'll get the same result and Referrizer's automated booking system can still run smoothly without sending invitation texts to clients that are already in the class.
Our award-winning customer care team is here for you.

The effect of ongoing feedback on physical activity levels following an exercise intervention in older adults: a randomised controlled trial protocol
© The Author(s). 2017

Physical inactivity ranks as a major contributing factor in the development and progression of chronic disease. Lifestyle interventions reduce the progression of chronic disease, however, compliance decreases over time and health effects only persist as long as the new lifestyle is maintained. Telephone counselling (TC) is an effective way to provide individuals with ongoing support to maintain lifestyle changes. Remote physical activity monitoring and feedback (RAMF) via interactive technologies such as activity trackers and smartphones may be a cost-effective alternative to TC, however, this comparison has not been made. This study, therefore, aims to determine the effect of ongoing feedback (TC vs. RAMF) on the maintenance of physical activity following a 12-week individualised lifestyle program, and the effect of this on health risk factors and health services usage.
Methods and design
A randomised controlled trial with a parallel groups design. A total of 150 adults (≥60 years) who participate in a 12-week face-to-face individualised lifestyle program will be randomised to twelve months of RAMF (n = 50), TC (n = 50), or usual care (n = 50). Participants randomised to RAMF will use a smartphone activity tracker app, synced to a wrist worn activity tracker, to provide them with automated feedback regarding compliance to prescribed activity targets. Telephone counselling involves a follow-up phone call every fortnight for the first three months and a monthly call for the remaining nine months of the follow-up period.
The primary outcome measures are physical activity compliance (accelerometry and Active Australia survey). Secondary outcome measures include cardiorespiratory fitness, muscle strength, dynamic balance, quality of life, blood pressure, body composition, and health services usage. Measures will be made before and after the individualised lifestyle program, and at three, six and twelve months during the intervention.
The results of this study will help to determine the efficacy of RAMF devices on compliance to prescribed physical activity compared to the current gold standard of TC. If the remote monitoring proves effective, it may provide a cost efficient alternative method of assisting maintenance of behaviour change from lifestyle interventions.

Ageing and low physical activity levels
There is a substantial body of research which supports the benefits of regular physical activity for health (eg. [1]). Participation in physical activity has been shown to decrease the risk of morbidity and mortality, and loss of independence in older adults and plays an important role in maintaining functional capacity [2]. However, despite the well-known benefits of regular participation in physical activity, physical inactivity in the industrialised world ranks as a major contributing factor in ill-health. Worldwide 31% of the adult population are not meeting the minimum recommendations for physical activity to perpetuate and maintain health in order to prevent disease [3]. Australia's population over the age of 65 has increased from 1.1 M (9%) in 1973 to 3.3 M (14%) in 2013 [4], and along with this growing population of elderly citizens the number of cases of degenerative and lifestyle diseases has also increased [1]. The highest levels of physical inactivity are also evident in older adults with 18% of Australians aged 40–65 reporting no physical activity [1].
Benefits of exercise
Strength and/or endurance training activities have been shown to prevent and manage heart failure, diabetes, depression, arthritis and many other conditions that effect older adults [5–7]. However, an issue with much of the existing research is that it has generally involved laboratory-based exercise interventions which have been tightly controlled and attract the most motivated participants. Consequently, while these studies have been helpful in describing many benefits of exercise for a range of chronic conditions, they do not readily translate to interventions that are achievable in clinical practice.
Lifestyle interventions, issues with ongoing compliance
The use of individualised lifestyle intervention programs may provide a means of addressing the challenges associated with including exercise as a treatment in chronic conditions. Research has reported that lifestyle intervention programs are effective in reducing the progression of chronic disease [8, 9]. While lifestyle interventions are effective in managing chronic disease, there are still issues with ongoing compliance to the altered lifestyle declining over time and health effects only persist as long as the new lifestyle is maintained [10]. Telephone counselling has been shown to be a feasible and cost effective way to provide individuals with ongoing support to maintain lifestyle changes [11, 12]. Review of the literature has shown that interventions lasting greater than 6 months and those with a higher number of calls produce the most favourable outcomes [12].
Role of new technologies
One method for increasing enjoyment and objectively tracking adherence to exercise programs involves the use of interactive technologies like physical activity trackers. Consumer driven forces for new ways to measure physical activity have led to the development of sophisticated inertial sensing devices for measuring movement of the human body. Until recently, such technology could only be found in expensive and dedicated laboratory facilities.
Devices are now at a price point that it is possible to relatively inexpensively deploy feedback technologies for use in individualized physical activity programs. The use of mobile phones/computers, combined with ubiquitous tracking technologies and management applications, has enabled individuals to better understand their personal health. As smart phones have become more common, two parallel developments have created an easier to use interface than ever before – the large touch screen; and significantly more complex functionality in accelerometers, compasses, GPS and other sensing devices. Additionally, third party creators of specialist sensing devices are now supplying the feedback from these sensors into these smartphones.
Globally, there has been in increase in apps which are designed to improve health through better lifestyle choice, including tracking food intake, tracking activity, encourage healthy food and activity replacements, retaining mental flexibility and support for giving up smoking. Personalised social media-based portals could facilitate motivation for exercise progression through social support [13], including peer- and professional-support [14], and promote health behaviour change [15]. Paired with mobile computing technology, it will be possible to extend current telephone health-coaching concepts to these more automated platforms potentially resulting in greater ongoing compliance to individualized lifestyle programs and resultant improved health outcomes. Emerging technologies which include activity trackers that can provide real time feedback on activity levels and remote social interaction may provide an alternative means of continuing to motivate participants beyond the completion of a formal exercise/lifestyle program. To date however, there is limited research examining the effect of such technologies on the maintenance of activity levels, particularly in older adults.

determine the effect of different modalities of ongoing feedback regarding physical activity on the maintenance of activity levels post completion of a 12-week individualised lifestyle program and;
- 2.
The effect of ongoing physical activity levels on a range of health risk factors and health services usage.
The study will measure and monitor the activity levels of participants during the community based individualised lifestyle program and for 12 months post completion of the program. Participants will be randomly assigned to 1) usual care in the form of physical activity questionnaires plus assessment at 3, 6 and 12 months post program, 2) provided with ongoing feedback through a wrist worn activity tracker and smartphone for the duration of the follow up period and assessment at 3, 6 and 12 months post program or 3) provided with fortnightly to monthly telephone calls for the duration of the follow up period and assessment at 3, 6 and 12 months post program. Follow up assessment at 3, 6 and 12 months will include the collection of physiological variables, functional testing, physical activity and quality of life questionnaires, and health services usage data.
Study protocol
Ethical considerations
The study has been approved by the Tasmania Health and Medical Human Research Ethics Committee. Annual progress reports will be made to the ethics committee and they will be notified of any adverse events promptly. The trial has been registered with the Australian New Zealand Clinical trials Registry (ACTRN12615001104549, http://www.anzctr.org.au/default.aspx). Annual progress reports will be provided to the ethics committee and any adverse outcomes will be immediately reported. All data collected will be stored as paper files in a locked filing cabinet and/or electronic files which will be stored on a password protected computer. Only investigators directly associated with the study will have access to these files. Following the completion of the study, participants will have access to their data.
Selection of participants
elderly, frail and aged
are at risk of developing chronic disease
have a chronic medical condition including neurodegenerative disease, cardiovascular disease and conditions, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), type 2 diabetes, muscular and/or skeletal conditions, mobility or gait issues and those receiving steroid treatment.
Due to some of the outcome variables from S2S being utilised in the research, participants will be recruited as they commence S2S. The proposed research will investigate the ongoing engagement of S2S participants once they have exited that program. Some of the outcome variables from the S2S program will be utilised in the proposed research but only for those participants who consent to participate in the research study. The reason for use of these outcome variables is to inform of changes in health and physical activity status that occurred during S2S as these changes may impact on how physical activity levels and health outcomes change during the follow up (intervention) period. Data will be collected from S2S site in Launceston, Tasmania, Australia only.
Exclusion criteria: Individuals who choose not to participate in the S2S program will not be considered. Anyone presenting with an unstable medical condition preventing them from participating in regular physical activity; or individuals with neurological conditions, or limited understanding of English which prevent them from meeting the self-reporting requirements of the study will also be excluded.
Participants who enrol in the study will undergo baseline testing and the 12 week S2S program before being randomised to one of the three intervention groups. Randomisation of participants to intervention groups will be performed at the end of the S2S endpoint testing session. Randomisation will be performed using computer generated blocks of fifteen by a third person not directly involved in the study and will be recorded in sealed opaque envelopes. Each envelope will be opened sequentially at the endpoint S2S endpoint testing session to reveal the allocated intervention. In the event that there are multiple participants from the same household they will be randomised to the same group to maintain the integrity of the intervention. All participants will be requested to avoid the use of any physical monitoring devices other than those directly provided by the researchers for the duration of the study.
Usual care group
Remote physical activity monitoring
Participants randomised to the remote physical activity monitoring group (n = 50) will receive a Jawbone activity tracker at the end of the 12 week S2S program. They will be requested to wear the Jawbone on their wrist, or ankle if the wrist is not a suitable option, for the duration of the 12 month follow up period. The activity tracker will be set up to provide feedback, via vibrotactile alert, to participants on their compliance to their individual prescribed activity levels (50 & 100% of prescribed daily activity). These levels will be prescribed by the exercise physiologists as part of the S2S program. In addition to the feedback achieved while wearing the device, participants will be requested to synchronise their Jawbone device to the study database at the end of each day using a mobile internet link they will be provided with as part of the study. The daily synchronisation will also serve to recharge the Jawbone device for the following day's use. In the event that a participant fails to synchronise the device at the end of the day they will be sent an automated text message reminding them of the need to recharge their device regularly and the synchronisation and recharge will occur when they next connect. As part of the daily synchronisation participants will receive further feedback regarding their overall progress during the intervention. This will include feedback regarding progress towards daily and weekly physical activity targets, general health tips and remote feedback from the Exercise Physiologists regarding ongoing compliance to the individualised exercise program. Participants will attend assessments at 3, 6 and 12 months post program completion for collection of physiological variables, functional testing, physical activity and quality of life questionnaires, and health services usage data.
Telephone counselling
Outcome measures
Outcome data pertaining to physical function, quality of life, physical activity levels, and markers of clinical prognosis (BMI, waist circumference, brachial blood pressure) will be collected at the start and end of the 12 week S2S program and again at 3, 6 and 12 months of follow up after the participants have been randomised to one of the 3 interventions. All outcome measures will be collected for all three treatment groups at all time-points.
Physical activity measurement
Physical activity will be measured using two tools (a physical activity tracker and a questionnaire). Physical activity will be measured for a period of seven days at each time point through the use of ActivPal activity trackers. These will be fitted and worn day and night for the entire seven-day period with a minimum of five days' worth of valid data required for inclusion at each assessment time. These trackers are reliable and valid [16, 17] for physical activity monitoring. Data obtained from the ActivPal activity trackers will be the primary measure of physical activity and expected changes to data obtained from these trackers form the basis of the sample size calculation for this study.
The physical activity questionnaire that will be used is the Active Australia questionnaire [18]. It will be included as a back-up activity monitor and to assess changes in time spent in different types of activities. Participants will be requested to include any exercise performed in the previous week in their response to the questionnaire. The survey measures frequency, intensity and duration of incidental and/or intentional physical activity in the week prior to the time of testing. The total time spent in each activity will be multiplied by an intensity value and used to calculate participants' weekly physical activity in MET.min−1. This survey is valid and reliable [19, 20] and has previously been used to measure changes in physical activity in chronic disease populations [21].
Motivation for exercise
The self-regulation Questionnaire for exercise (SRQ-E) is a theoretically derived questionnaire developed for use in school settings but which has since been validated in diverse health settings [22]. The SRQ-E gathers information on why a person chooses to exercise regularly and assesses the degree to which individuals are autonomous in exercise behaviour.
Self-reported physical function (quality of life)
Self-perceived physical function will be evaluated using the Medical Outcomes Short-Form 36-Item Health Survey (SF-36). This survey includes 8 independent scales and assesses physical and mental dimensions of health. It is validated and has been widely used to measure quality of life in a range of chronic disease populations [21, 23, 24].
Physical function
The six-minute walk test (6MWT) or Modified Shuttle Walk Test (MSWT) will be used as the measure of physical function. Both tests require minimal equipment and are quick and easy to conduct. The 6MWT requires participants to walk as far as possible along a short measured course during the six minutes. They will be permitted to stop and rest if needed and will receive regular encouragement throughout the test. The MSWT is an incremental walk test requiring participants to walk along a short measured course while keeping pace with a recording. Both the 6MWT [25] and MSWT [26] are reliable and valid measures of physical function in patients with metabolic disease.
Muscle strength
Strength will be measured using the ten times sit to stand (TTSTS). TTSTS is a functional lower body strength measure that relates to ability to perform activities of daily living and consequently is relevant to wider health and quality of life outcomes. It is a reliable and valid measure that is widely used in clinical practice [27].
Dynamic balance and mobility
Dynamic balance and mobility will be measured using the timed up and go (TUG). This test involves the client standing up from an armless chair and walking around a cone placed 2.44 m in front of the chair, returning to the chair and sitting down. It is a reliable and valid measure of dynamic balance and is widely used in clinical practice [28].
Body composition
Three indicators of body composition will be measured. These are body mass index, waist circumference and percent body fat. These measures are simple and easy to attain and have been widely used as indicators of cardiovascular disease (CVD) [29] and mortality [30] risk in large scale population studies. Body Mass Index (BMI) will be calculated from height and body weight. Waist circumference will be measured at the narrowest point between the base of the rib cage and the iliac crest as per standard methods. Body fat percent will be assessed through the use of Bio-Impedance Analysis scales (Tanita BC-1000; Tanita Corp; Tokyo, Japan). BIA has previously been shown to be a reliable and reproducible method for determining body composition [31, 32].
Blood pressure
Brachial blood pressure will be measured by sphygmomanometry using standardised techniques after five minutes of seated rest.
Health Service Usage
Adherence to the intervention
Participant adherence to the treatment interventions will be assessed through records of the proportion of intervention days that participants randomised to the remote physical activity monitoring group wear their activity monitor. Records will also be kept and reported regarding the the proportion of telephone calls successfully delivered to participants in the telephone counselling group as well as the length and content of these calls.
Sample size calculation
The 12 week S2S intervention resulted in a mean increase of 450 MET.min of physical activity per week with a SD of 1.5x the change. Sample size was calculated based on a predicted maintenance of 100% of additional physical activity in the feedback groups and decrease of 50% of additional physical activity in the usual care group over the 12-month intervention (Mean Difference = 225 Met.min/week) with a SD of the change of 350 MET.min/week (1.5x the mean change in line with S2S data). STATA 12 (Statistical data analysis; Stata Corp; College Station; Texas, USA) was used to calculate the sample size on the basis of a mean difference of 225 MET.min/week with a SD of the change of 350 MET.min/week, a power of 80% and an alpha level of 0.05 using the "sampsi 0 225, sd (350) p (0.8) a (0.05)" command. The sample size calculation indicated that at least 38 participants were required per group. To allow for potential withdrawals 50 participants per group will be recruited.
Data analysis
All statistical analyses will be performed using STATA statistical software (STATA 13; Statistical data analysis; Stata Corp; College Station; Texas, USA). Baseline and descriptive data between the groups will be analysed with one-way ANOVA. Binary categorical data will be analysed for variability between the groups using logistic regression. Parametric longitudinal data will be analysed using mixed effects linear regression with unstructured covariance, corrected for repeated measures. In the event that assumptions of linear regression (heteroskedascity, skewness, kurtosis or non-linearity) are violated, those analyses will be repeated using repeated measures ordinal logistic regression. P-Values will be corrected where appropriate for multiple comparisons using the Holm test. Where participants do not return for follow up or there is missing data, this will be analysed on a last case brought forward basis.
The objective of this trial is to determine the effect of different modalities of ongoing feedback regarding physical activity on the maintenance of activity levels post completion of a 12-week individualised lifestyle program and; the effect of ongoing physical activity levels on a range of health risk factors and health services usage. Due to the ageing and increasingly inactive global population, sustainable and cost effective measures to assist older adults to maintain an increased level of activity need to be put in place. The effectiveness of telephone counselling on behaviour change has been well documented [11, 12] however it is time consuming and expensive when continued over a prolonged period of time. In contrast the effectiveness of remote feedback devices on compliance to prescribed physical activity have not been investigated. The results of this study will help to determine the efficacy of remote physical activity monitoring and feedback devices on compliance to prescribed physical activity compared to the current gold standard of telephone counselling. If the remote monitoring and feedback proves effective, it may provide a cost efficient alternative method of assisting maintenance of behaviour change from lifestyle interventions.

A Year of Poems – Day 11
"Have you ever thought about what comes next?"
Grandpa asked three months before he found out.
"I think an angel will take me about
the earth before beginning the great trek
to the stars," he said putting National
Geographic down and sitting up, or
as far up as his bent back allowed before
stopping short. His eyes were as affable
as he always was. "He'll fly me past Mars.
We'll skim the deep clouds of Saturn.
Then he'll race out with me wrapped in his arms
as the stars fade in a swirling pattern."
He finished. I didn't know what to say.
I hope that I'll see what he saw one day.

PLOT: So you got 5 people buying guns in a sketchy warehouse in the 70's met by middle man Ord (Armie Hammer) who then introducers them to the seller Vernon (Sharlto Copley) and his goons. Vernon tries to sell them the wrong type of gun on purpose which gets Chris (Cillian Murphy) kind of cheesed. Besides that, one of the 5 buyers did something stupid the night before which affected a relationship of one of the seller's goons which then started a chain events that was just one gun shot after another. Throughout the movie you constantly hope your favorite team, actor, or character will end up taking the money that is in a suitcase in the middle of the battle. It is great in the sense you can't predict the ending to this movie.
SCRIPT: The script is decent for the amount of conversing that went on in this movie. Most of the things said were funny or like who just shot me. It is also hard to follow the characters and who shot who so look out for that. Thankfully do to great character development and accents from all over the world you can kind of understand who said what.
ACTING: This is where we get into the 2 teams. They all were terrific at playing their role especially Sharlto Copley as Vernon, Brie Larson as Justine, Cillian Murphy as Chris amd Armie Hammer as Ord. Most of these actors are highly underrated or under used but this movie really shows the comedy and action stars in each character you may not of known they could play. Oh, and Martin Scorsese is the Executive Producer if it means anything to you.
|Enzo Cilenti
|Noah Taylor
|Sam Riley
|Jack Reynor
|Michael Smiley
|Babou Ceesay
|Brie Larson
|Sharlto Copley
|Cillian Murphy
|Armie Hammer
MUSIC: Unfortunately the music wasn't there. They could of had a lot of great 70's music and maybe even extended a scene or two just for that to really get you pumped or excited. All you get is a John Denver song.
Sound Effects: Guns, fire and explosions sound effects. What more do you need? There is a good chance this films sound effects wouldn't of changed if the film was made in the 90's. Everything they had was well used and used at the right time for the right object.
Special Effects: With guns, fire and explosions constantly being used in a shootout movie its important it is done right or realisticly. There is a good chance this films sound effects wouldn't of changed if the film was made in the 90's. Everything they had was well used and used at the right time for the right object. Though I've never pored gasoline and lit a fire I'm sure it would go up in flames.

The International Federal Control (IFC) was started under the New World Alliance (NWA). They replaced the police in all countries who were under the NWA agreement. They are controlled by the International Government Board (IGB). After their launch in 2080, there has been nothing but conspiricy and fear. Their "Border Guard" units are brutally harsh to citizens, issuing random searches and sometimes beatings. The people of the NWA decided to take action. Some powerful corporate arms chairmen decided to create their own army to counter the IFC. In 2085, they linked their companies together to form the World Republic Union (WRU). They set up weapons and science facilities all around the globe. Eventually, IFC started to notice what they were doing and assaulted one of their factories in the hope of scaring them away. The WRU declared war on the IFC in 2100. Relapse takes place in 2110, where you battle online as either IFC or WRU forces. Who's side are you on?

The Potager Garden & Café
This idyllic Constantine café serves up delicious, organic veggie food, fresh juices and gluten-free cakes.
Since we ventured out to Constantine for lunch the other day, I've been telling everyone who'll listen about the bucolic, foodie idyll that is The Potager Garden Café. I nearly titled this post 'the prettiest café in Cornwall' but I haven't actually been to them all and I'd hate to be accused of spreading fake news.
That said, if there's a more charming and atmospheric place to grab a bite this side of the Tamar, I've yet to discover it! It's the sort of place where time seems to run differently and if it hadn't been for the school run, we'd have stayed all day.
Like the nearby Lost Gardens of Heligan but on a much smaller scale, Potager was discovered, by gardener Dan Thomas and architect Peter Skerrett, wild and forgotten in 1999. It was love at first sight; they bought the former nursery and gradually and sensitively transformed it, using the overgrown specimens to form the shape of the garden.
What emerged is a ridiculously pretty, organic garden that seems to enchant everyone who stumbles upon it — like Mark Harris, who rented a studio at Potager in 2006 and ended up taking the reins from Dan and Peter, alongside his partner Saffa. The café's chef, Awen arrived as a volunteer gardener ten years ago, when he was in the middle of his photography MA at Falmouth and also fell under Potager's spell.
A refreshingly uncommercial enterprise, the garden is free to enter (although small donations are encouraged) and it is maintained by a dedicated gang of green-fingered volunteers, who arrive en masse each Friday.
Beautiful but also productive, 'potager' refers to a French style of gardening that mixes ornamental and edible plants, some of which take starring roles on the café's delicious vegetarian menu.
The café itself is housed in a stylish converted greenhouse, filled with light and strung with bunting. Awen serves up a small but very thoughtful selection of organic vegan and vegetarian dishes, fresh juices and homemade cakes (with plenty of gluten-free options). It's wholesome, feel-good food that doesn't compromise an inch on taste.
We chose a super coconut-y curry, with purple sprouting broccoli, celeriac, swede, parsnip, sambal and buckwheat flatbread – one of the tastiest veggie curries I've tried and a mezze plate with three dips – a chunky tapenade, humus, and a delicious roasted beetroot number – with salad and moreish, seedy sourdough bread.
We were offered beans on toast for my little boy – definitely the healthiest version of this British classic he's had. I thought he'd turn his nose up at it but hat's off to Awen, he happily scoffed the lot.
Homemade cakes, whipped up by fellow Potager chef Tanya, include a delectable dark chocolate orange cake, Portuguese caramelised almond tart with clotted cream and the ever-popular elderflower and almond cake (much admired by The Telegraph when they stopped by).
As well as the main café, there are seating areas outside, where you can sit under the trees or lounge in hammocks and there are also tables in the garden's working greenhouse. These are both great options for those with children, as they can roam free without disturbing other diners too much.
We sat in the greenhouse at a little glass table beside a giant agave and I felt like Mabel, in Oscar Wilde's An Ideal Husband, taking tea in the conservatory – but that's probably just me! The team uses the greenhouse for propagation as well as growing salads, squash, beans and sweet potatoes and the garden volunteers were having their lunch at a long table beside us when we visited. There's a ping pong table in here too, should all those veggies bring out your competitive spirit.
Adding to the arty vibe are the Potager studios that are home to furniture makers, painters and jewellers, with the odd bit of work on show around the place. And of course, like every good Cornish café, the waiting staff have incredible hidden talents too, like Amy Isles Freeman, who makes brightly painted, wood-turned bowls, which were my brilliant bonus find of the day (see them on her Instagram page here).
Good for: There are more public gardens in the local area than you can shake a whittled stick at but this one offers something different. Obviously, it's perfect for vegans and vegetarians but also, people with children or those looking for peaceful and pretty spot for breakfast, lunch or tea.
Not for: I'm struggling here – I mean what's not to like? But I suppose carnivores aren't catered for, so if you're on a strict cave-man diet, Potager's probably not for you (still worth dropping in for tea and cake though).
££: Lunches are just south of £10 and cakes and brownies start from £2.75. So it's a treat but by no means prohibitively pricey.

Sorry for the pet spam. I was going to post pics of the new puppy, and I went a little crazy.
Monthly Archives: July 2016
The Cone of Shaaaaame!
Poor Gambit.
Puppy Pile
Here's a cute shot of Gambit and Sugar acting innocent. In truth, they're spoiled rotten.
Whisper was also half horse. He was also half Lab and half Shar-Pei, and he blocked out the sun. He is no longer with us, but he was the best dog ever and we still miss him.
Bob is just a baby, a gift from the hubby for our eleventh anniversary. She's half Australian Shepherd, Part German Shepherd, with a little bit of Chow.
Sugar is half Spitz and half Blue Heeler. She's very cuddly.
We named him after the X-Man and the chess move. He's half lab, half greyhound, and half horse.
