Natalie Ramirez has spent less and less time with her husband over the last year and more and more time alone. She longs for the happy days of summer when she and Chase would pass the time together on the beach and under the boardwalk, exploring the passion that simmered between them as hot as any summer sun.
Chase Smith had to work hard for everything he ever had, including his wife Natalie. His wife had never wanted for anything in her life and Chase didn't want to disappoint her. But somewhere along the way, Chase lost sight of the most important thing she wanted: his love.
A passionate night under the boardwalk brought them together, but can Chase and Natalie rekindle that lost love and save their marriage?
Chapter 1
The brass key hung heavy in Chase Smith's pocket, the weight a reminder of what had been in the past and what still might be possible for the future.
Would Natalie remember that this was the place where it had all started? Chase wondered as he left the quaint inn in Ocean Grove.
Of course Natalie will remember, the little voice in his head reminded. She wasn't the one who forgot things like that or got so wrapped up in work that they'd let their personal life go to shit.
She wasn't the one who'd become a boring uptight prick who'd forgotten how to have fun, chastised the nasty little voice in his head.
Chase's gut clenched as reality sank its painful hooks deep. He took a deep breath and told himself to relax.
Tonight was supposed to be about having fun. Tonight was supposed to be about trying to recapture what it was that had brought him together with his wife.
Soon to be ex-wife if they couldn't find a way back to the couple they'd once been.
He rushed down Main Avenue, heading toward the Ocean Grove boardwalk. As he neared it, the scents and sounds of the Jersey Shore washed over him, cleansing some of the tension from his body.
It was always like that here, that sense of peace and calm and rebirth.
He hurried to the metal railing at the edge of the boardwalk and leaned against it, savoring the final remnants of the early fall day. The susurrus of the waves soothed as a refreshing ocean breeze blew inland.
The temperature had been in the high sixties earlier; the day sunny enough for some post-Labor Day beachgoers. Far less people than the crowds that packed the beaches during the height of summer, but as he glanced up and down the boardwalk, there was still a good amount of activity.
He lingered for a few minutes more, gathering his courage. Watching as dusk arrived and the last rays of the sun bathed the ocean with touches of gold.
Glancing at his watch, he realized he had to get going and do the half mile or so walk to Asbury Park to meet Natalie.
He turned and headed north toward the end of Ocean Grove, fingers jammed into the pockets of the black skinny jeans he'd bought earlier that day along with the T-shirt and hoodie. It wasn't what he'd originally planned to wear, but at the last minute, he'd decided that the button down shirt and khakis were a too visual reminder of the man he'd become instead of the man he used to be.
Luckily there was a surf and skate shop right on Main Avenue that had a nice selection of clothes that were just what he needed to discard his uptight self.
He quickened his pace, his long strides eating up the distance to the Casino along the boardwalk and the start of Asbury Park. Passing the Boardwalk Pavilion where Sunday services were held, he glanced at the Great Auditorium at the far end of Ocean Pathway. The bright white cross gleamed in the growing darkness and for a moment he felt a little guilty because what he hoped for tonight was far from pure or chaste.
What he hoped was that he and Natalie could rekindle the passion they'd once shared and find their way back to a marriage that had been filled with so much love and possibilities.
As he neared the Casino, the sounds of a lone guitar player echoed in the large metal shell of the building. The man stood playing as people strolled by, coming and going from one town to the other.
The man he had become would just pass the man by, but tonight was about being more like his old self. More open and accepting.
Chase reached into his jeans pocket, pulled out a dollar, and tossed it into the man's guitar case.
At the far entrance to the Casino, the start of the Asbury Park boardwalk loomed large and he knew that once he stepped out onto it, there was no turning back from tonight.
But he didn't want to turn back. He wanted Natalie back in his life. Back in his bed.
He pushed ahead, his gaze skipping from face-to-face in the crowd until it seemed to part before him like the Red Sea and there she was, standing by the railing.
After a month apart, he drank in her beauty like a thirsty man at a desert oasis.
Her cream-colored dress hugged her sexy curves, but the skirt was loose and billowing in the ocean breeze. Her shoulder length caramel-colored hair was loose and wafted around her face.
As he watched, she tilted her head back, eyes closed, and a peaceful smile crept over her lush lips.
She was so lovely. So beautiful. Warmth pooled in his gut at the sight of her just as it had nearly a decade earlier, when he'd first seen her on this very same boardwalk.
He took a deep breath, fighting back desire and fear, and walked toward her.

By Rayan Kayssi
This module's assignment in particular does not affect me a lot because I don't drink alcohol at all.
I have never tried it because it is against my religion, however many of my friends drink and sometimes I feel that they do have a problem even though many of them deny it.
For the first part of this assignment, there was the alcohol quiz.
The webpage that we had to visit had an error. I am not sure if there was supposed to be more than one question, but I was only able to see one.
I was also not able to see the answer to the question because of the website error. The question that I was able to see and answer was:
Which of these does drunk driving do to you?
Helps you take risks
Makes you more aware of your surroundings
Speeds reflexes
Helps you keep your eyes on the road
Increases the pleasure of driving
I know that drunk driving does not make the person more aware of the surroundings and it definitely does not speed reflexes, instead it slows them down.
Drunk driving also decreases the ability to focus so it certainly would not help the person keep his/her eyes on the road.
As for the last option, I'm not sure if drunk driving increases the please of driving, but I felt that the first option is correct answer because drunk driving does help the person take risks and sometimes these risks could be dangerous and deadly.
The second website we had to visit was the alcohol abuse webpage that is sponsored by the Indiana University Health Center.
The webpage had very good questions, and since I don't drink alcohol I used my friend to answer them.
My friend doesn't think she has drinking problems and surprisingly enough she answered 'yes' to many of the questions.
I printed a copy for her and someone else because I felt that these questions are very important for people to ask themselves so that they could bravely assess themselves.
Even though this assignment had only two websites to visit, one of them was very informative and taught me important questions that could be asked to evaluate the drinking problem of people.

Townsend was in jail for failure to pay child support.
He was last seen wearing a red shirt displaying the word "Inmate" on the front and back, blue jeans with a white stripe on each leg and black boots.
Anyone with information should call the Pickens County Sheriff's Office.

The circular wheel with a long rod or axle protruding from its center is the archetypal human invention: though its precise origins are lost in time, it has contributed to any number of technological advances since being deployed more than 5,000 years ago in Mesopotamian potters' wheels. But what's particularly remarkable is that it may be the only simple machine that evolution has almost never managed to produce.
The secret to the wheel's power to move loads over long distances is that it magnifies the actions of the axle: just a small rotation of the axle results in a much larger motion on the part of the wheel. Turn it around and apply force to the wheel, as in a doorknob, and a slight force is magnified into a much stronger action as the axle manipulates the door mechanism.
Biologists often use the lack of wheels in nature as an example of how, if the barrier to developing an adaptation is high and the payoff is not substantial, it will just never evolve. They generally cite the difficulty of getting nutrients to a fully rotating wheel--no blood vessels or other tissue can be attached to the structure, so how would it be nourished? (For more on this, check out this delightful 1917 description of the hypothetical process required for a creature to successfully grow a wheel.)
The one qualified exception is bacteria's whip-like flagellum: it indeed rotates completely around producing torque and propelling the organism as it spins. But it's only because it's on the microscopic level that this structure can overcome the problem of maintenance: the molecules that control the wheel and axle reach it by diffusing through the cell's cytoplasm.

Forgiving is the human art of integrating injuries for optimal innovation and harmony. Forgiving harmony is multi-faceted, moving rhythmically though individuals to groups and from groups to individuals. And while it is often said – and true - that forgiving does not mean forgetting, forgiving also does not mean building barriers or holding timeless, cancerous grudges. Forgiving is a way of learning life lessons that pave a path toward liberation. Forgiving is not a concession. Forgiving is an expansion.
Throughout life, individuals consistently confront internal and external circumstances that challenge their individual worth and their optimal connection to various groups. The ability to efficiently and coherently synthesize ideas and behavior for the mutual benefit of self and others is critical in every relationship within the human experience. Forgiving is the practice that supports healing, reconciliation and restoration both internally and externally. It is a practice of humility that reveals the singular, common root in all relationships.
Focused Faith. Food. Fitness. Forgiving.
Focused Faith
Our working definition of faith is a complete, unwavering trust in someone or something. Faith is complete and without any doubt. Pay attention to your belief in yourself, your dreams and aspirations throughout the course of your day. Notice when, where and why doubt creeps into your mind. To hold focused faith, reflect on success quotes, read book passages or develop a motivating mantra. Make faith reflections a daily, steady diet. Keep notes in the note section provided here. Review the notes often.
Food is any life-sustaining substance that people or animals eat or drink, or that plants absorb, in order to maintain life and growth. Because today's humans consume an incredible diet of information, we will add mental food here for consideration in the practice of forgiving. Throughout the course of your day, pay particular attention to what, why, when, where and how you consume both "food" and information. Make notes of what you eat on the practice sheets. Whether it is food or information you're eating, the adage "you are what you eat" is very informative.
Fitness refers to the state of one's overall condition. The condition includes physical, mental, emotional and spiritual. Another name for fitness is "readiness." How ready is your body? How ready is your mind? Ready for what, you ask? Ready to see and move into new life opportunities.
Forgiving is a means of integrating all experience into powerful innovation. The practice of forgiving requires an optimistic and inquisitive approach to every moment in life. Forgiving creates newness. Forgiving creates infinite possibilities.

He's Hollywood's hottest teenage heart-throb but Robert Pattinson is turning his back on the Twilight franchise – for now at least – for a very different role. Rob Driscoll fights his way through the screaming fans at the Remember Me premiere to chat to the leading man.
IT must be tough, being the world's hottest poster boy. But if Robert Pattinson is getting tired of all the constant attention and adulation, he's not showing it.
The 23-year-old British star of Twilight – the phenomenally successful big-screen teen vampire franchise in which he plays the sullen and brooding blood-sucking hero Edward Cullen – has just come inside from the hysterical, adoring crowds mobbing the premiere of his latest film, Remember Me, in London's Leicester Square, and he seems remarkably cool and unfazed about the sheer madness of it all.
You'd surely forgive him if, in the midst of such heightened and almost unreal mayhem, he came across as either withdrawn, or a little precious, or unapproachable, or even big-headed.
Yet R-Patz, as his teen fan base have dubbed him, is none of these; instead he is refreshingly bashful, light-hearted, unaffected and humorous throughout the proceedings.
"I've been up since six this morning, so forgive me if I'm just talking rubbish," he giggles, a little self-consciously.
Yes, some of his answers are a little rambling and unfocused but that's far from surprising, given the circumstances of the last half-hour (the relentless flashbulbs of the paparazzi's cameras and the deafening screams from those "Twi-hards").
But you can't help but like the guy for the sheer fact that he doesn't take himself too seriously, yet at the same time not for a second taking his extraordinary success as a given.
The first two films in the Twilight series – the biggest books-to-screen franchise since Harry Potter (whose fourth outing, The Goblet of Fire, by the way, saw him steal scenes as Cedric Diggory, heroic golden boy and victim of Voldemart) – have earned Pattinson millions, made him the most sought-after young actor in Hollywood, and furnished him with a superstar girlfriend, his co-star in the vampire films, Kristen Stewart.
He has already filmed the third in the series, Eclipse, due for release this summer, and he'll shoot the fourth and final chapter, Breaking Dawn, at the end of the year.
For now, though, comes Remember Me, his first post-Twilight film and an important project for Pattinson as it's a chance to display his acting credentials away from the special effects-led blockbuster series that has led to Vanity Fair labelling him The Most Handsome Man in the World.
The new film – a much smaller, unflashy affair compared to the Twilight outings – is a slow-burning romantic drama in which Pattinson stars as Tyler Hawkins, a rebellious New York rich-kid student who has lost his way ever since a family tragedy.
He's at constant odds with his big-shot businessman father (Pierce Brosnan) and life offers him little meaning until a crass bet with his best buddy results in an awkward meeting with local beauty and kindred spirit Ally (Lost's Emilie de Ravin).
What follows is an intriguing and compelling mix of indie drama, burgeoning teen romance, and a dark sense of foreboding, with one or two surprises in the way of time-lines and greater significant events in the scheme of the story.
"I'd read hundreds of scripts over the summer, after I did (the first) Twilight, and everything seemed exactly the same," says Pattinson. "This one initially stood out in the way the dialogue was written, and it just seemed much more naturalistic than most things I was reading.
"Tyler as a character intrigued me. It seems that most young male protagonists as the lead in movies have to be either a virgin, or have to learn everything during the movie, or they go through the trials of the movie and end up a different person and completely fine.
"Tyler starts off with a lot of baggage, and a very full and developed character, and ends up developed in a slightly different way, rather than, 'Oh, I'm fine now!' You just never see that in films very much, especially for young people's parts."
Mention to Pattinson that Tyler is another "deep and brooding" character, and he lets out a nervous laugh.
"I never thought Tyler was that brooding, to be honest. I never even heard the word before Twilight. I guess as an actor you like to play broken, troubled characters, because that's more interesting, especially because I'm not particularly broken or troubled myself."
It's almost a throwaway comment, but maybe that's the secret of Pattinson's "normality" – despite everything, he remains a middle-class lad from Barnes, south-west London, and he's close to his family, who keep him grounded by refusing to pander to the Hollywood hype.
As such, his embarrassed modesty about his looks, for example, comes across as completely genuine.
Much as Daniel Craig's in-between-Bond movies are important choices, Pattinson knew he had to be careful about the kind of film he wanted to make away from the enigmatic world of Edward Cullen, although he insists he has no "career plan" about the parts he takes.
"Even when we were shooting this movie, I never thought about the box office," he says. "It's only when it came to promoting it that you're asked about all that stuff.
But I always felt it's important to do films like this; obviously it's not like a Twilight movie, it's an original screenplay, it doesn't fit into any genre, and it's not that much of a feel-good movie.
"They don't make movies like it anymore. I think that's how I kind of choose stuff. That's the only criteria I have. If there seems to be a gap in the market for something, then I try and do that. I'm trying to do that with all the other things I'm doing afterwards."
That includes Bel Ami, a French period drama (based on the Guy de Maupassant novel) alongside Cristina Ricci, Uma Thurman and Kristen Scott Thomas; and Unbound Captives, a Western, which he's chosen mainly because his father is obsessed with the genre.
What is perhaps most significant about Remember Me is that it almost certainly wouldn't have got made without Pattinson, such is the power he now commands in an industry where a box office name that can fill cinema seats speaks volumes to the studio bigwigs.
As such, Pattinson has a telling credit in the film's opening titles, that of executive producer; he read the script in a burger joint car park, and signed onto the film two months before the first Twilight came out, with the promise that he would be fully consulted on casting decisions and script changes throughout.
"Having something like Twilight gives it publicity, immediately," concedes Pattinson. "I've always felt it's the most important thing you can do with films like this, which are quite difficult to promote, I would have thought – to advertise it generically and get it out to people."
He's more than aware that not all of his Twilight fans might be willing to see him in other parts, but he's equally keen that they take a chance on something different, and invest in a new story and a new character.
"If people go to see it, once you've got them into the cinema, then it's almost inevitable that they'll get drawn into it, hopefully," he says.
"Obviously, you hope people like things, but if you start doing stuff to please a certain audience, you're going in the wrong direction.
Especially when you're trying to please huge swathes of people."
Remember Me opens today

During your time with the California Health and Longevity Institute, you'll stay in a deluxe room at the Four Seasons Hotel Westlake Village, an AAA Five Diamond–rated hotel located on the premises.
Upon arrival, you'll undergo a body-composition analysis inside the Bod Pod, a podlike capsule that calculates your lean-muscle mass and fat percentage. Over the course of the next two days, you'll attend workshops on nutrition, health, and fitness strategies led by health and wellness experts, each designed to equip you with the knowhow to succeed on your own. Exercise specialists lead two boot-camp sessions, as well as small group fitness classes.

Westlake Village, California: Wealthy Small Town near Santa Monica Mountains
The rugged Santa Monica Mountains separate the Pacific Coast from the affluent small town of Westlake Village, located about 20 miles inland. From Westlake Village, it's just a quick jaunt into the scenic hills. A 6-mile round-trip hike on the Mishe Mokwa Trail leads up to a summit called Sandstone Peak. Along the way, you'll pass Echo Cliffs—a popular rock-climbing spot—and plenty of boulders, sandstone formations, and sheer cliff walls. Malibu's legendary beaches, including Topanga State Beach and Malibu Surfrider Beach, home of the Malibu Pier, are less than 20 miles away.

From Jamie Gangel and Eric Bradner writing at CNN:
Mitt Romney has instructed his closest advisers to explore the possibility of stopping Donald Trump at the Republican National Convention, a source close to Romney's inner circle says.
The 2012 GOP nominee's advisers are examining what a fight at the convention might look like and what rules might need revising.
"It sounds like the plan is to lock the convention," said the source.
Romney is focused on suppressing Trump's delegate count to prevent him from accumulating the 1,237 delegates he needs to secure the nomination.
But implicit in Romney's request to his team to explore the possibility of a convention fight is his willingness to step in and carry the party's banner into the fall general election as the Republican nominee. Another name these sources mentioned was House Speaker Paul Ryan, Romney's running mate in 2012.

One easy way of automating the list building process with Twitter is by using the services of www.SocialOomph.com
You can send out automatic direct messages to those who begin to follow your updates. These automated messages could include a direct link to your website, blog or better yet ? your squeeze page where you offer each Twitter user a free incentive, such as a report, ebook, article content or guide based on your niche market.
When it comes to using Social Oomph to build your list and initiate first contact with those that follow you, be sure that the product you are offering on your squeeze page is extremely focused on your niche market and offers something of value.
You don?t want to give away a product that is already saturated online, such as outdated PLR. Try to offer something original, even if it?s a short report or mini-product, the more exclusive it is to your list, the more likely that your visitors will subscribe to your newsletter.
Just like with every other social community, your marketing campaign needs to be tweaked and offered in a slightly very different format that caters to their desire to network with other like-minded individuals.
This means that you want to make sure your automated DM message, as
well as every tweet you broadcast is seemingly written for the benefit of the reader, rather than direct advertisements.
Posting entertaining and useful tweets is an important part of successfully building your online business with twitter, however you want to focus on spending your time wisely and ensuring that each tweet is productive in helping you further your brand, right?
This is where twitter link bait comes into play. Rather than posting a link to a direct news story, post a summary of it on your blog and direct people to your page in order to read the message you are broadcasting.
This is a passive aggressive marketing tactic that works very well within twitter, because rather than directly trying to sell to your following base, you are simply posting about something you found interesting, useful or entertaining.
Once you have them on your blog, they?ll likely explore your website and if you?ve done your job of developing relationships with your following base and staying active within the twitter community, it will be a lot easier to convince them to subscribe to your newsletter or purchase your products.
Show people that you are interested in getting to know them, what they are interested in, what they are looking for.
Focus on giving, more than receiving and you will quickly discover, just how effective twitter can be in helping you further your brand and building your online business.
By answering questions and providing help, tips or advice on questions that people have, you can establish yourself as a credible source for information within your niche market, quickly and easily.

I don't know what to do. I'm a newb seeking help!

Sean McDermott on QB visits: Maybe they're a smokescreen
The Bills have been spending time with the top quarterback prospects in this year's draft and that has naturally sparked speculation that the team will be adding a player to the position despite reaching agreement on a new deal with Tyrod Taylor this offseason.
Bills coach Sean McDermott was asked about that possibility during an appearance on 98.5 KISS in Buffalo on Wednesday and said that workouts or visits with Mitchell Trubisky, Deshaun Watson, DeShone Kizer and others "doesn't mean we're taking a quarterback."
"Maybe these last three or four trips were just kind of all a smokescreen, right? It's kind of like hiding your presents from your kids," McDermott said. "You kind of put them in different spots and see, right? We'll just see. It's just a big mystery at this point. No one really knows. You never know who's going to be there at No. 10 when we pick. You just got to go do the homework and study it up."
Smokescreens abound during draft season and no team is going to lay out any of their true intentions before they're on the clock to make a selection, so there probably weren't too many people convinced that the Bills are going to use the 10th overall pick or any others on a quarterback. With Taylor's new contract offering an out after next season, no one's likely to rule it either.

Dan Coyne had the surprise all planned out: Near the end of Myra dela Vega's Friday night shift as a cashier at Jewel-Osco in Evanston, his children would buy some groceries and hand her a card. Inside would be the unexpected news that Coyne could donate one of his kidneys to dela Vega, who is suffering from renal failure.
But dela Vega, 49, who looked puzzled by the card, didn't open it. Instead, Coyne emerged from hiding and blurted out the news himself."Oh! Oh!" dela Vega said, covering her mouth as her knees started to buckle. Her eyes filled with tears. Later, she explained: "It's just so overwhelming to think someone is giving you an organ."

Sailor Moon stars in TV commercial for new Japanese energy drink for working women
Sailor Moon is definitely one of Japan's biggest anime stars, and she has a very large and loyal female fan base, for very obvious reasons. To capitalize on this very fact, one of Japan's largest pharmaceutical companies joined forces with the iconic character to sell its special line of popular energy drinks, one created specifically for the working woman.
Chocola BB is a Japanese multi-purpose vitamin supplement, which comes in pill and/or liquid form, loaded with essential vitamins and nutrients. Not only does this product give you a boost of energy, but it's also known to clear acne and smooth out roughened skin. Just recently, pharmaceutical giant Eisai came out with a renewal line of "Chocola BB Joma," a drink version of the supplement created especially for women at the workplace. To go along with this campaign, Eisai is offering various prizes, including an original illustration signed by Usagi Tsukino voice actress Kotono Mitsuishi, a limited edition compact mirror, original design cards, and makeup accessories.
"On behalf of the Moon, we're recommending this to you!" says Sailor Moon in one of the ads. And on behalf of the Moon, her female fans are buying what she's selling, and they're fighting through another day at the office.
Sailor Moon as an Office Lady!

Rick Hawley, executive director and one of the founders of Greenspace — The Cambria Land Trust, will leave his position as executive director in October. In his 26 years, he has been a familiar presence at community meetings, giving a voice to the natural features and critters who aren't able to speak for themselves.
He'll still be here and working for Greenspace, but it will be half-time rather than full time. Greenspace is searching for a new executive director.
"We are not looking to 'replace' Rick, for that would be impossible," said Greenspace board president Wayne Attoe. "We'll be looking for someone to learn the ropes and work with Greenspace volunteers and the community to move Greenspace energetically into our second quarter century of protecting and preserving this marvelous North Coast area."
In 1988, Hawley, Rich Davis, John Colgan and Ron Wyse envisioned a hiking and biking trail along Santa Rosa Creek from Coast Union High School to the ocean. The creek itself needed to be considered, which meant the land along it, the fish that live in it, and the water that flows through it. The whole watershed was involved. They needed an organization: a nonprofit land trust that could actively save land and promote clean water, fresh air, safe food and places for recreation.
"We still need to manage our watershed, but we can be proud that we now have a Santa Rosa Creek Management Plan," Hawley said. "We can develop 'watershed pride.'"
Today, Greenspace continues to advocate for the environment through participation in Cambria's water supply issues, forest and tree preservation, fire protection, wildlife and fish conservation and other issues for which the environment needs a voice. Greenspace now protects 13 pocket parks around Cambria, the Creekside Reserve's 1.6 acres and Chinese Temple on Center Street, Strawberry Canyon's 21 acres off south Burton Drive and the recent acquisition of Fitzwater Canyon's five acres on the south side of the Top of the World neighborhood.
"We can acknowledge many national and local nonprofits that have worked to make conservation part of the conversation," Hawley said. "I'm proud to be part of the conservation movement."
Hawley will continue to focus his attention on protecting Cambria's ecology, working half-time for Greenspace. He has several grant applications in the pipeline for projects such as stream flow monitoring and removal of invasive weeds such as pampas grass.
"I'd love to be able to one day get a fishing license and catch a steelhead in Santa Rosa Creek," he said.
Rick Hawley of Greenspace — The Cambria Land Trust will give a talk about the Santa Rosa Creek Watershed Management Plan at a meeting of the North Coast Democratic Club at 7 p.m. Tuesday, April 15, at 786 Arlington St. There's no admission charge and all are welcome.
A shot in the arm — or leg — for nonprofit
During the month of April, Cambria Veterinary Clinic will donate $10 to Greenspace — The Cambria Land Trust for every vaccine administered to a pet.
"We share the values and goals of Greenspace," said veterinarian Kevin Toman.
The program includes rabies and all other vaccines necessary to keep pets in optimal health, Toman said, safeguarding both the health of pets and the environment.
Cambria Veterinary Clinic is at 1500 Main St. Call 927-9700 or email firstname.lastname@example.com for details.

Although the number of new HIV infections fell by 38% from 2001 to 2013, the number of new infections remains high, with over 2 million people newly infected in 2013 alone.
Geneva, Switzerland (PRWEB UK) 1 December 2014
UNITAID has published its 2014 HIV Preventives Technology and Market Landscape which shows that although there has been a significant increase in products with promise to curb HIV transmission, scaling up access to them has been slow due to a variety of issues including affordability, availability and demand – all market based. The report highlights opportunities to change this through efforts to reduce various market obstacles such as the lack of product approval completion.
Although the number of new HIV infections fell by 38% from 2001 to 2013, the number of new infections remains high, with over 2 million people newly infected in 2013 alone. With AIDS as the sixth leading cause of death globally and the number one cause of death in sub-Saharan Africa, preventing new cases of HIV infection needs to remain a major global health priority. Preventative tools can substantially contribute if made widely available.
The Landscape summarises products and technologies to prevent HIV infection, including those currently available and those in the development pipeline. It reviews prevention technologies for the major modes of HIV transmission, including sexual transmission, injecting drug use and mother-to-child transmission.
Over the last decade, HIV prevention prospects have been substantially strengthened by the emergence of new biomedical prevention tools, including voluntary medical male circumcision and a series of antiretroviral-based prevention methods. Scale-up of these various tools has been slow, however, underscoring the need to effectively leverage market dynamics to ensure the accessibility and affordability of effective prevention methods.
Over the last year, there have been several developments in HIV prevention technologies. A promising device for adult male circumcision has emerged, a third female condom is closer to WHO prequalification which would make it available for global donor purchase, and new evidence has emerged confirming the effectiveness of pre-exposure antiretroviral prophylaxis.
The report also outlines how biomedical technologies are being tested to examine their role in HIV prevention. The impact of devices to assist with voluntary medical male circumcision on demand, service scale-up and cost is being assessed. Clinical trials of the most recent generations of vaginal microbicides are continuing with results expected in 2015. Additional female condom products are being considered for WHO prequalification which will help enable them to be made more widely available. Whether this will expand use and decrease price remains unclear, however. For some prevention technologies already on the market, such as male condoms, market interventions are unlikely to accelerate further scale-up, as the products are already affordable and are already available. Meanwhile, progress continues, but at a slow pace, in the search for a preventive vaccine.
Among the classes of prevention technologies reviewed in the landscape:
- Male circumcision devices
- Barrier methods (including male and female condoms)
- Microbicides
- Antiretroviral-related prevention methods (including pre- and post-exposure prophylaxis and prevention of mother-to-child transmission)
- Harm reduction technologies
- Longer-term prevention methods (including a preventive vaccine and methods to mitigate the role of herpes simplex virus type-2 in facilitating sexual transmission of HIV).
In addition to summarizing the current state of prevention technologies, the Landscape details market developments and issues, including shortcomings that create obstacles to access. Potential market interventions are also explored as a guide to future investments.

Since it's debut in mid-2013, hundreds of private schools have launched new websites on onMessage, our content management system.
And the ROI on their investment has been impressive:
- 60% of schools reported an increase in admission inquiries.
- 80% of schools reported an increase in user time on site.
- On average, schools are posting 6 or more pieces of content per week.
But what about the very first school to launch an onMessage site. Which school embraced the early adopter role? How has their site evolved over the past few years?
The answer to first question? Rodeph Sholom School (New York, NY)
In episode 27 of Blackbaud K-12's Get Connected podcast, Emma Castro, Communications Manager, Rodeph Sholom School, joined me to share their story (and to answer the second question above).
Learn what it was like to be an early adopter, why onMessage's flexibility and granular level of control appealed to Rodeph Sholom, and how they've iterated the site since its July 2013 launch.
As a bonus, Emma shares tips on how your school can prep for a site redesign based on Rodeph Sholom's experience.
For a full breakdown of what we covered, make sure to check out the episode notes below.

Useful Tips for a Good Night's Sleep
Feeling grumpy or drowsy today? It could be because you are not getting enough sleep. The stress of our daily lives and responsibilities can make it difficult to fall asleep or stay asleep.
You may not be able to control all of the factors that interfere with your sleep, but you can create an environment and adopt habits that encourage a better night's sleep.
Tips to Get More Sound Sleep
- Go bland before bedtime.
- To fall asleep quickly, avoid caffeine, nicotine and alcohol for at least four hours before you go to bed.
- Be predictable.
- Go to bed around the same time every night, and try to follow a similar routine.
- Don't toss and turn.
- If you can't sleep after 20 minutes, get out of bed and do something else.
- Take a bath.
- When your body gets ready for sleep, your temperature drops. A bath may nudge your bedtime biochemistry along.
- Exercise Regularly.
- 30 minutes a day can help you fall asleep. You should do it before dinner, not after.
- Get dark.
- People usually sleep best in a cool, dark environment. Invest in heavy drapes if city lights glare outside.
- Grab a snack.
- It's hard to sleep hungry, so try a light snack before bedtime. Some researchers think tryptophan, a chemical found in milk, naturally induces sleep.
- Keep your bed for sleeping.
- If you are used to watching TV or doing work in bed, you may find it harder to relax and to think of bed as a place to sleep.
- Deal with stress.
- If daytime troubles keep you awake, try jotting notes about ways to deal with them. Leave stress at the bedroom door, if you can.
- Natural Sleeping Aids.
- Natural sleeping aids that contain vitamins and minerals such as chamomile and melatonin are effective alternatives to over the counter or prescription sleeping pills. In addition, having a multivitamin supplement each day is a great idea to ensure that the body is receiving all the essential nutrients to balance your system for a good night's sleep.
- Listen to white noise or relaxation CDs.
- Some people find the sound of white noise or nature sounds, such as the ocean or forest to be soothing for sleep.
On average, most adults need about seven to nine hours of sleep per night. Children and teenagers require more sleep because their bodies are still growing. Children between the ages of 5 and 12 should get nine to eleven hours sleep and adolescents age 11 to 17 need 8½ to 9½ hours of sleep.
Healthy Choice Naturals SleepWell is an all natural, highly effective sleep remedy that can help restore sleep patterns. Its formula contains 12 highly effective, natural sleep enhancing ingredients including chamomile, melatonin and vitamin B6 to help you get a good night's sleep.

Go on then. Buy a Wii Fit (Video)
"All you have to do is to step on that little white thing."
Getting out of the house to find a gym is difficult enough, so when Nintendo brought out The Wii Fit, we all felt like there's finally hope in life. Watch this excellent video from SarcasticGamer to learn of all the brilliant benefits that The Wii Fit has to offer:
And if you know where to pick up a Wii Fit for an absolutely bargain, tell us. For those that don't even have a Wii, consider getting a pre-owned Wii with Wii Sports and ANY pre-owned game from Blockbuster for just £129.99.
I'm off to cancel my David Lloyds membership, as my strategies to bulk up like The Hulk has been very disappointing. Instead, playing 'get the ball in the hole' sounds like it'll tone my buttocks better than moving vigorously to those Cindy Crawford's home fitness videos that I stole from my ex.

We have heard from numerous individuals concerned that their use of Lipitor caused diabetes. We are pleased to see that this litigation is progressing.
New York, New York (PRWEB) May 10, 2014
Hundreds of Lipitor lawsuits (http://www.lipitorlawsuitcenter.com/) that claim the statin drug caused patients to suffer Type 2 diabetes continue to move forward in the U.S. District Court, District of South Carolina, Bernstein Liebhard LLP reports. Among other things, a Case Management Order issued on April 25, 2014, establishes a plan and procedures for discovery, and sets the stage for the proceeding's first bellwether trials. According to the Order, the first of those trials could begin in July 2015. (In re Lipitor (Atorvastatin) Litigation, MDL No. 2502)
"We have heard from numerous individuals concerned that their use of Lipitor caused diabetes. We are pleased to see that this litigation is progressing," says Bernstein Liebhard LLP, a nationwide law firm representing victims of defective drugs and medical devices. The Firm is currently offering free Lipitor lawsuit reviews to individuals who took the statin and later developed Type 2 diabetes.
Lipitor Diabetes Allegations
According to court documents, the litigation involving Lipitor diabetes allegations has been growing since February 2012, when the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) ordered the manufacturers of statins to update their labels with information about the drugs' potential association with Type 2 diabetes. The request followed the publication of a study in JAMA: Internal Medicine the previous month which suggested that post-menopausal women treated with statins faced an increased risk of developing new-onset Type 2 diabetes. *
Court records indicate that at least 460 Lipitor lawsuits are now pending in the District of South Carolina. All of the claims allege that Pfizer Inc. was aware of the link between Lipitor and diabetes before modifying the drug's label in February 2012 to reflect this risk, but concealed this information in order to protect sales of the medication. The lawsuits further allege that the modified label warnings remain inadequate.
Bellwether trials like those discussed in the April 25th Case Management Order mark an important milestone in these types of litigations. Among other things, the outcomes of bellwether cases may provide insight into how juries might decide other Lipitor lawsuits.
Lipitor patients who allegedly developed Type 2 diabetes due to their use of the statin medication may be entitled to compensation. To learn more about the federal Lipitor diabetes litigation, please visit Bernstein Liebhard LLP's website, or call 800-511-5092 to obtain a free legal review.

NBC is bringing back its "must-see TV" Thursday franchise this fall with the revival of "Will & Grace," and by moving its heartwarming hit "This is Us" to the same night.
The network announced its schedule Sunday, kicking off the annual week where broadcasters outline next season's plans to advertisers. NBC is the second most popular network behind CBS, first among the younger viewers it covets, and is bullish on next year since it will show the Winter Olympics and Super Bowl.
The comedy "Will & Grace," which first aired from 1998 to 2006, unites its ensemble of Debra Messing, Eric McCormack, Sean Hayes and Megan Mullally with the original creative team. If the resumption goes well, NBC hopes there will be more than the 12 episodes now on order, said Robert Greenblatt, NBC entertainment chairman.
"Will & Grace" will kick off Thursday's lineup, followed by "Great News," a sophomore comedy produced by Tina Fey. Greenblatt said Fey will appear periodically on air next season, too.
The key to reestablishing Thursday nights, which NBC dominated during the 1980s and 1990s, is bringing the fans who made "This is Us" the year's biggest new hit, to that night at 9 p.m. The show also gets the high-profile slot after next winter's Super Bowl. Greenblatt sounded conflicted about how much NBC will push the "must-see TV" concept promotionally.
"I'm not saying it's going to be emblazoned with 100-foot letters atop the Empire State Building, but we're going to use it," he said.

Having taken good notes could make all the difference when it comes to studying for an upcoming test. This does not only include taking notes in class, this also includes taking notes from a required textbook. If you are characterized to be a read/write learner, the skill of effective note taking will benefit you even greater. However this skill can help all learners.
One very effective technique when taking notes is to paraphrase. This strategy applies to taking notes in class and from the textbook. In class your instructor will not necessarily be speaking slowly and it will be hard to keep up with everything he says. Use your own words when taking notes; you will be able to summarize what your instructor is saying. Besides, it is much easier for you later to understand something that is in your own words rather than another person's. This is also true when reading a required text.
Often required texts are dry and formal. It will be much more difficult to later relate the notes you have taken if you are re-reading the dry, technical words taken directly from the text. However if you are reading something you previously paraphrased you will be able to understand this better.
Another important part in taking effective notes is simply paying attention. In class or while reading a textbook, you may find it easy to get distracted. Try your best to avoid this. The more distracted you are the less attention you will give to your instructor or text and this leads to you missing potentially key details. Thus it will be hard for your notes to be accurate and complete.
It is, however, also possible to take too many notes. Avoid writing down everything as this will lead to more work later on. The more information you write down, the more you will have to sift through and learn in preparation for a test. Try your best to write only information that is important. It can be difficult at times to decipher what is necessary, and what is extra information. However, if you are able to do this, it will save you loads of time when studying.
You cannot always remember everything that was said in class, which is why effective note taking is important. Being able to take effective notes will help you in the long run when preparing for a test.

Italian man gets arrested after kissing Japanese woman as a greeting
To be fair, every culture has its own unique way of saying "hello." In America, some guys get drunk and say "hi" by bumping chests into each other, and those are the guys who usually end up saying "hi" to a police officer later on.
With that being said, you should always try and respect the customs of the culture that you're visiting or living in. And an Italian man recently learned that lesson the hard way after he greeted a 21-year-old Japanese woman by kissing her on the face.
The incident occurred on the JR Kisei train line between the Iwashiro and Minabe stations in Japan. The 40-year-old Italian man was taken into custody by Kobo Precinct police and was honestly surprised that the authorities got involved in the situation. Details about whether or not the man was under the influence of alcohol or drugs have not been released.

text: A question that I have gotten on the remake of Backround Cycler is "Where did you get the codename 'V6' if it is not Version 6?" Well I did not get the codename "V6" as a version number, as a matter of fact the codename is a reference to a 6 cylinder engine inside of cars. I believe the move to C++/win32++ will produce a better program. As I, the developer, will have better control over the memory. One major problem is C# is the Garbage collector is not clearing the image right after I no longer need it. It is not uncommon for the program to have 3-4 pictures loaded into memory even long after the program is done using them and properly called the destroy methods. The only time the program seems to clear the image is when it loads a large image (+10 mb)

Saturday Morning's Forgotten Heroes: The Chan Clan visit Scotland Yard (1972)
A few notes before we go on. As you'll see a 5-piece Chan Clan band performing "Happy" at the start of the episode, you can tell that the movements of Stanley and Suzie were copied from H-B stablemates Josie & the Pussycats. Simply sub Stanley (singing voice provided by Ron Dante) for Josie and Suzie for Valerie, since they both play the tambourine. Len Weinrib was the speaking voice for Stanley, and after wholesale changes were made with the younger Chans, future Oscar winner Jodie Foster was cast as Anne. Henry's speaking voice was done by future primetime star Robert Ito, better known for playing second banana to Jack Klugman on Quincy a few years later.
Actor Jamie Farr (M*A*S*H) served as a writer on this show, as well as the following year's Inch High, Private Eye, but it's curious that he didn't submit any scripts for M*A*S*H.
Rating: B.

Interesting that Farr was writing episodes for this. Perhaps the bigwigs wouldn't let him write for a show like MASH. When the show got more "Alan Alda-ized" as time went on, he was probably shut out.
To be fair, I do think CC could have been done a bit better. Often the episodes are full of red herrings and non-sequiters which frustrate viewers. When the perp is finally revealed, it's opten out of nowhere. Rarely do you have any clues to work with, and even then, it was often Charlie Chan who solved the case, not because of anything the kids had done.
The premise itself was great and it's a testament to the creators who made all ten Chan children very unique and independent characters. It would be easy for them to have been lost in the shuffle. Once again, I blame the restrictions on cartoons during this time. Had this been a live action show airing in early primetime, I think it might have worked well - music or not.
Funny to have the band singing "Happy", rather than the song the show is most famous for - "Number One Son". Funnier still is having band members Alan and Tom playing instruments NOT heard on the record. Reminds me of all the guff The Impossibles got for not having a drummer or keyboardist whenever they played!

Consider also the Don Kirshner-Ron Dante factor. H-B was still trying to create their own Archies, but after Chan Clan and Flintstone Comedy Show were cancelled (Bedrock Rockers), that was the end of pre-fab SatAM rock until the Kroffts brought in Kaptain Kool & the Kongs.

Talk:Water and sanitation
From OLPC
OLPC would be an excellent way to make a huge and life-changing impact in the communities where it is distributed by adding fun educational programs regarding sanitation and hygiene. Lessons and games could be programmed into the computer to teach children how they can stay healthy and prevent disease. This would help make sure that the children lived long enough to enjoy the computers and put the knowledge they acquire to good use in their communities. Lifewater International is a non-profit organization which, among other aspects, produces educational programs for hygiene and sanitation in order to prevent the acquisition and spread of preventable water-related diseases. The website is www.lifewater.org, and please contact the organization if you are willing to help us give children a healthier future!

Defending champs win battle of 1 vs. 2
Jan. 25, 2010
Courtesy of West Virginia
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. - The West Virginia University rifle team earned the edge in a tight battle between the nation's top two teams and defeated Alaska-Fairbanks, 4697-4670, this evening at the WVU Coliseum.
The No. 2 Mountaineers (8-0, 4-0 GARC) handed the top-ranked Nanooks (8-1) their first defeat of the season. The victory is WVU's second consecutive over UAF and narrows the Nanooks series advantage to 6-4.
At 8-0 and riding a 14-match win streak, the Mountaineers are off to their best season start since 2003, when they jumped out to a similar record before ending the year at 11-2.
WVU's aggregate score of 4697 is a nation-best mark and trumps the Mountaineers' and Nanooks' previous respective season scores of 4691 and 4692; today's winning score is the highest collegiate combined total since the NCAA implemented a 60-shot course at the onset of the 2004-05 season.
The Mountaineers took care of business in both guns, defeating the Nanooks 2368-2352 air gun and 2329-2318 smallbore. WVU's air gun score is a season-high and school record. The team remains undefeated in both disciplines.
"Today was another strong team performance and definitely the type of result I was hoping for," says fourth-year coach Jon Hammond. "Everyone shot a solid match.
"The overall standard of today's match was one of the highest I have ever seen. Both teams shot phenomenally, which makes the win even more satisfying."
Junior transfer Nicco Campriani set or tied four school records and paced the field with a program-best aggregate score of 1185. The Florence, Italy, native shot a school-record 589 smallbore (199 prone, 195 standing, 195 kneeling) and tied sophomore Michael Kulbacki's air rifle record with a score of 596 (99, 98, 99, 100, 100, 100). Among his honors, Campriani's standing score of 195 matched a school record, also previously achieved by Kulbacki.
Kulbacki and senior Bryant Wallizer tied for second with a score of 1178; the mark is a personal-best for both Mountaineers.
UAF's Cody Rutter finished fourth with an aggregate score of 1177.
Rutter finished behind Campriani in smallbore with a 587 score. Wallizer tied the Nanooks' Jace Bures for third place with a personal-best mark of 586. The Little Orleans, Md., native improved upon his previous best, last achieved four days ago in the Mountaineers' victory over NC State, by six shots. Additionally, he shot a school-record 200 prone.
"Bryant's score definitely stands out today; it's such a great achievement," Hammond says. "He's been working hard on smallbore in practice, and the few things he focused on this week really paid off in the match. I think this result should boost his confidence for the remainder of the season."
Kulbacki also had a strong smallbore match and finished fifth overall with a personal-best score of 585. Additionally, junior Brandi Eskew shot a program-best 200 prone and concluded the evening with a 576 smallbore score.
UAF's Dustin Cheesbro finished two shots behind Campriani in air gun with a score of 594. Kulbacki placed third with a season-high 593, while Wallizer followed in fourth with a season-high 592.
Also of note, WVU sophomore Justin Pentz recorded a season-high combined score of 1160, shooting 585 air rifle and 575 smallbore.
"I think you peak in big matches," Hammond explains. "We wanted to put in a strong performance. I know some of the student-athletes felt nerves today, but they were able to deal with the pressure-filled situation and still shoot well.
"We may not shoot this high again for the rest of the season. We would like to, but we'll keep moving forward from this point and build off of the lessons learned. Hopefully today will help us come postseason."
Today's match came just three days after the Nanooks passed the Mountaineers at the top of the College Rifle Coaches Association Poll. WVU had held the No. 1 ranking since its national championship victory last March.
The Mountaineers will return to Great American Rifle Conference (GARC) action next weekend, as they compete against Ole Miss on Jan. 30, in Cookeville, Tenn., and Memphis on Jan. 31, in Murray, Ky. Both matches start at 8 a.m.

Quick Reference
villa rustica:house in the country with spacious accommodation for the owner and his family, and quarters for staff and workers, stores, and animals (the latter called villa fructuaria). It was really a grand farmhouse with refinements;
villa suburbana:house near a town, lacking service buildings (e.g. Palladio's Villa Capra, Vicenza (c. 1566–70);
villa urbana:essentially a retreat, with spacious rooms, access to agreeable gardens, fine views over the landscape and the sea (if possible), galleries, and parts suitable for summer and winter use. Pliny's villas were paradigms of this type, which contained all the conveniences, and more, of a town or city mansion.

When I became pregnant with my first son, everyone had advice on getting through the nights. Apparently, nighttimes were going to be very difficult, and I was sufficiently scared. Then my son was born and I realized that nights didn't have to be scary at all. Sure, my baby was up frequently, but it didn't take long to realize that by breastfeeding I was able to calm him quickly and he would settle back to sleep, nestled snugly against my breast in the still of the night.
But something else happened in those first wee-hour nursing sessions. Those almost surreal quiet moments opened my mind to things I didn't see during the busyness of the day time. At night, when it was just my baby and me, I would notice the curve of his ear or how his hair was splayed across my arm. I tended not to see the toys on the living room floor or the dishes in the sink.
The fact that I was so relaxed during these nursing sessions allowed my creativity to flow. Suddenly, that difficult situation that had plagued me during the day had a clear, almost simple solution. I had my baby and his demands to thank for allowing me to look at my problems through a new, more relaxed set of eyes.
Those first middle-of-the-night nursing sessions were ten years ago now, and my family has added three more children. Each of my children has given me the chance to spend these quiet moments together, and each experience has been a little different.
While I have had my share of days when I was walking in my sleep, I would remind myself to really look at my baby as he nursed. In this way, I would fill my nights with contentment and love rather than resentment because I was the only one who could feed my baby and I was the only one who could calm my baby. These times were special; something only my baby and I could share. It remained a time when nothing else mattered. All of the daily stresses, the laundry, the cleaning, the bills waiting to be paid, melted away in the soft cuddle only I could share with my baby.
All of the daily stresses, the laundry, the cleaning, the bills waiting to be paid, melted away in the soft cuddle only I could share with my baby.
I still hear people talk about how difficult nights can be with a baby or a toddler, and I am quick to contradict these stories. As often as I can, I point out that it is the best time to enjoy your baby completely. In the middle of the night, there are no siblings, no spouses, no chores, and no distractions. It is just you and your baby. Morning will come quickly enough and those magical moments will be swallowed up by the chaos of your daily routine. I tell as many moms as I can to enjoy the magic that nighttime will bring to her and her nursling.
My youngest is two now and is starting to show signs of weaning during the day. When she weans completely from the breast, I will miss my nighttime moments with her. Since I know that time is on the horizon, for now, I will continue to embrace those wee-hour nursing sessions and the special bond that they create.

Traveling to Germany is not complete without a stay in Cologne. Cologne is Germany's fourth-largest city, and is the largest city both in the German Federal State of North Rhine-Westphalia. The city is a beautiful cultured destination with great leisure facilities, pubs, restaurants, shops and history. Many years of restoration work has seen a rebuild to portray the wonderful city it was. Cologne is often called the Cathedral city.
About Cologne
Cologne is an old city, of great importance in Roman History as it is one of four sanctified cities that formed the north corner spot of the Empire. At the beginning of the thirteenth century Cologne was the largest fortified city in the world. However, over 90% of Cologne was destroyed during WWII.
How to get there
Depending on your departure point, flying is usually the best choice of transport. If traveling from Europe, the Köln/Bonn Konrad Adenauer Airport is only 10km from the centre of the city. However, if traveling from outside Europe, Frankfurt Airport is the closest and provides both road and train transfers for the 200km journey.
Where to stay in Cologne
Hotels are the most popular choice of accommodation in Cologne and 2 to 5 star standard hotels are usually available. However, check for the festival dates as this can seriously affect the availability of rooms. Popular festivals include the "Balls ad Fools" Festival (early November), Easter Festivals (March/April,) and Christmas Markets (December)
What to see in Cologne
The Altstadt is worth a visit both during the day to visit Ludwig's Museum and the evening for dinner where you can enjoy a "Roman dinner". For relaxation check out Claudius Spa that is found in the Rheinpark area. Visit the Cologne Cathedral (Kölner Dom) that was originally established in 1248,
Where to eat
There are over 1,000 restaurants in Cologne. Hence a great range of top quality restaurants that offer all kinds of international food. There are also many attractive cafes and bars as well as all takeaway options.
Where to shop
Cologne has a great range of shops that cater for everybody's needs. The most popular shopping streets are Schildergasse and Hohe Straße. Other smaller streets that head out of the centre have more unique shops and indoor markets. The shopping areas clearly indicate pedestrian access, making them attractive and well laid out.
There is something for everyone in Cologne. The ancient cathedral city is well worth a visit.

Giving BackTo date, funding from the Wellmark 3-Point Play at Drake University has resulted in new and improved park experiences in central Iowa.
Most recently, funding was used to build more than two miles of soft surface nature trails in Des Moines' Ewing Park. These trails are constructed of compacted dirt and are designed to blend with and be sensitive to the surrounding environment, providing for a more intimate experience with nature.
This is the first phase of nearly eight miles of nature trails planned for the park. Additional funding from Wellmark and support from the Central Iowa Trail Association will allow for much of the system to be completed over the next two years.
Previous funding provided for the installation of several new and innovative pieces of recreational equipment in Des Moines area parks, including the first ADA-accessible outdoor adult exercise equipment in central Iowa at Evergreen Park.
The new fitness equipment, made possible through the Wellmark 3-Point Play, will help users improve balance and coordination as well as increase agility with low resistance while promoting fun, social interaction, and working to prevent obesity.
Since 2010, Wellmark has donated nearly $80,000 to Iowa health projects in partnership with the Drake Bulldogs.
