Happy (Leap Year) Birthday, Reri Grist!
Reri Grist (born February 29, 1932) is an American coloratura soprano from New York. She was one of the pioneer African American Opera singers who went on to enjoy a long and successful career as well as international fame across the Opera world. Grist starred as Consuelo, one of the female "Sharks", in the original 1957 performance of Leonard Bernstein's West Side Story on Broadway. The now classic song "Somewhere" was first sung by Grist and introduced into popular culture. Grist enjoyed a life of traveling around the globe and performing in many well renowned Opera venues in Europe. Since retiring from her career she has taught Voice and currently lives with her husband Dr. Ulf Thomson in Hamburg, Germany.
Reri Grist was born during The Great Depression in New York City. She grew up in the East River Housing Projects in Harlem. Grist attended the High School of Music and Art. Her musical talents were nurtured from a young age and she was given lessons in both voice and dance. Grist worked hard to receive her Bachelor of Arts in Music at Queens College, but started performing on Broadway when she as just a teenager.
Grist began appearing on Broadway in 1964. She started out performing in small roles alongside more established performers such as Ossie Davis, Ruby Dee, Lawrence Tibbett, Helen Hayes and Eartha Kitt. In the meantime, Grist was getting thorough training in vocals from teacher Claire Gelda, who quickly noticed the young star's potential. Grist's first Opera role was in a staging of Mozart's Der Schauspieldirektor. She played the role of Madame Herz. This was followed by her role of Cindy Lou in Oscar Hammerstein's Carmen Jones in 1956.
Zerbinetta's Aria
Reri Grist sings Mahler
West Side Story was a tale about neighborhood rivalry between two gangs of differing ethnic backgrounds. Set on the Upper West Side, which was in the process of urban renewal at the time, this play would become extremely popular and adapted into a film in 1961. Although Grist's part in the first production was only in a supporting role playing Consuelo, Pepe's Girlfriend, she got to sing the number "Somewhere", one of the play's key musical moments. Composer Bernstein then offered Grist a soprano part in Gustav Mahler's Symphony No. 4 in G major with the New York Philharmonic. This was her first opportunity to sing classical music.
Grist's performance in Symphony No. 4 was a major breakthrough for her. Columbia Records taped the show and would later release it as part of their Bernstein Century series. Grist's close relationship with Bernstein landed her the opportunity to perform on his televised Young People's Concerts in 1960. Grist would stay with the New York Philharmonic for her next few roles, which included parts in plays by Nadia Boulanger, Pierre Boulez, Michael Gielen, Fauré, Nono and Alban Berg.

In 1959, Grist was hired to play Adele in Die Fledermaus at the Santa Fe Opera and Blondchen in Die Entführung aus dem Serail at the same venue. Like others who had been inspired by Grist's abilities before him, Composer Igor Stravinsky heard her sing and asked Grist to be in his Le Rossignol at the Washington Opera Society. These roles would lead to her European debut in in Mozart's The Magic Flute at the Cologne Opera. From 1960 to 1966, Grist stayed with the Zurich Opera where she performed as Zerbinetta in Ariadne auf Naxos, Sophie in Der Rosenkavalier and Adina in L'Elisir d'Amore. Grist was the first African American to become a member of the Zurich Opera.
By the mid 1960s, Grist was highly in demand. She made her debut in Le Coq d'Or at the Royal Opera House in London. She then played Despina in Così Fan Tutte at the Glyndebourne Festival. Grist would perform for twenty-five seasons at the Vienna State Opera starting in 1963. That year, she also appeared in Il Barbiere di Siviglia at the San Francisco Opera. There, she would also sing in Rigoletto, Un Ballo in Maschera, Le Nozze di Figaro, Dialogue des Carmélites, and Massenet's Manon.
The Third Act Trio from Strauss' Der Rosenkavalier
Caro Nome by Reri Grist
In 1964, Grist debuted at the Salzburg Festival and would stay for twelve seasons performing various roles in Mozart Operas, led by great conductors like Karl Böhm, Zubin Mehta and Herbert von Karajan. In 1966, she made her debut at the Metropolitan Opera in her hometown of New York. Grist played a range of roles here, including Rosina in Il Barbiere di Siviglia, Norina in Don Pasquale, Gilda in Rigoletto and Olympia in Les contes d'Hoffmann. Over the next few years, Grist performed in Italy at Milano's Piccola Scala and was honored by the state of Bavaria, being given the title of "Bayerische Kammersängerin".
Reri Grist retired from Opera in 1991 with her performance in a one-woman opera called Neither at the De Nederlandse Opera in Amsterdam. The show was composed by Morton Feldman and based on a text by Samuel Beckett. She would carry on appearing in concerts led by Leonard Bernstein, Seiji Ozawa, Michael Gielen, Wolfgang Sawallisch, Leopold Stokowski, Friedrich Cerha and Die Reihe. Grist's final on-stage performance was in 2007 where she appeared in a Gala for Equity Fights Aids on Broadway. She was honored for being a member in the first West Side Story production on the 50th anniversary of its release. For this commemoration, she once again sang her breakthrough song "Somewhere".
Reri Grist sings "Durch Zärtlichkeit und Schmeicheln"
Since Grist's retirement from singing, she served as a professor at the School of Music, Indiana University and at the Hochschule für Musik und Theater in Munich. Grist has given Master Classes at the Metropolitan Opera for their Young Artist Development Program. She also contributed her experience to classes at the San Francisco Opera Merola Program, the Zürich International Opera Studio, the Escuela Superior de Musica Reina Sofia Madrid and at the Ravinia Summer Festival. In 2001, the American Opera Association honored her with a Legacy Award and the the Licia Albanese Foundation gave her a Lifetime Achievement Award. Grist's college in Queens also awarded their successful alumni two other awards. Reri Grist lives with her husband in Germany and enjoys a calmer life practicing cooking, gardening and stitching.

There are a big range of mattresses readily available in the Indian market. Some examples of mattresses offered in the nation are foam, coil, gel based, ortho spinal column and more. Aside from being used to make coil mattresses, in cultivation, coil is a commonly suggested replacement for sphagnum moss because it is without bacterial and fungal spores, and produces effective results without the ecological damage triggered by peat mining. Coil is likewise helpful to prevent snails from prevalent plantings. Coil is likewise used as a growing media in extensive glasshouse gardening. Coconut coil from Mexico has been found to include great deals of nests of the advantageous fungi Aspergillus terreus which serves as a biological control against plant pathogenic fungis. Coil is an irritant, along with the latex and other products used often in the treatment of coil. This must be kept in mind specifically for individuals with allergic reactions utilizing mattresses and other furniture made with coil. Let us concentrate on Coil mattresses.
Foam mattresses like the ones provided by memoryfoammattress-guide.org are known for its extraordinary capability for adjusting to the pressure worked out by the body and to the temperature. The heat makes products flexible and all polyurethanes undergo this. Memo foam mattress reacts primarily to the pressure of the body instead of to the heat, as we understand that heat connects much slower than the weight; so we can quickly presume that it would take longer to adjust as well as longer to recover to its initial shape. And this function makes you 'get up sensation fresh'. When it comes to coil mattresses which are generally hard; they do not take the body shape and this develops pressure points, preventing an excellent night's sleep. Coil likewise has the tendency to get compressed when body rests on it. Over a time period, it does not restore back its initial shape resulting in drooping of the mattress. With Coil mattresses you can be sure to take pleasure in pure sleeping satisfaction with the super-soft, sensual mattresses, enclosed in remarkably developed high-end and convenience satin layers.
This glamorous offering is a total amalgamation of convenience, style and sophistication. With its detailed quilt patterns and superlative material, coil mattresses can be specified as a service to finish love of convenience and high-end senses.

Getting Stronger
|Roxanne's swimming exercises
Because my back leg muscles were so weak, the doctors wanted me to swim. So Mom and Dad and I went on vacation and found lots of lakes. I had fun, but it was hard work. In the beginning, I could only swim for a few minutes. After a few weeks, I could swim a lot longer.
Mom and Dad felt that I was ready for more. So we began hiking. At first, we just hiked a little bit. Then, we hiked a little further. By the end of our trip, I could hike nearly two miles! I can't walk that far every day, and I am a lot slower than I use to be. The good news is that I feel so much stronger than before our vacation.
|Roxanne's first hike on her new exercise program

Aileen & Ronnie 10th October 2014
I was delighted to capture Aileen and Ronnie's wedding at The Burns Monument Centre in Kilmarnock although the weather gods seemed to be conspiring on the day. Sitting in my car before everyone started to arrive with rain bouncing off the windscreen, thunder and lightning all around, I wasn't hopeful we could make the most of the Kay Park and the Burns Monument courtyard.
I could see Donald Currie, The Scottish Wedding Piper sitting in his car too looking at the skies. Donald was a surprise gift from Aileen's daughter, Bonnie and Jonathan her son.
Eventually the rain subsided, turning to a drizzle for Ronnie and Danny, his best man, arriving in style in Ronnie's classic VW recovery vehicle that he's lovingly restored over the last 10 years. It looked amazing especially with all the names of his grandchildren and son beautifully sign written on the cab.
Not to be outdone, Aileen arrived with Bonnie in a lovely 1930's style Beauford Tourer.
The rain had stopped and blue skies appeared briefly after the service and we managed to get the photos outside before heading round to The Park Hotel.
It was a great day despite the weather and everyone was looking stunning with lots of smiling faces.
Here are some highlights from the day and congratulations again Mr. & Mrs. Devlin.

The U.S. is still open to authentic and credible talks with North Korea, a U.S. State Department official said on Thursday.
James Zumwalt, the deputy assistant secretary of the department's Bureau of East Asian and Pacific Affairs, made the remarks on Thursday in Tokyo. Zumwalt made the statement in relation to the future of U.S. engagement with North Korea. He said the U.S. would like to engage with North Korea based on the existing agreements between the two countries.
"Concerning the U.S. engagement with North Korea, we remain open to authentic and credible talks with North Korea, and what that means is we very much would like to engage on the basis of our existing agreements, which would lead to denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula," Zumwalt said.
While Zumwalt said he did not want to speak for North Korea, he said he hoped North Korea would choose its people over nuclear weapons.
"I don't want to speak for North Korea but we certainly hope that North Korea will make a choice prioritizing the welfare of North Korean people and if they do so, I think it's the basis for us to have a good talks with them," Zumwalt said. "I hesitate to speculate on their motives or their intentions, but we very much do want to convey the message that we are open to talks but they have to be authentic and credible talks based on our existing agreements."

BOCA RATON, Fla. (April 15, 2014) --- It was an evening of big impact on April 10 when 320 women gathered at Lynn University's Wold Performing Arts Center to award $320,000 to five nonprofit groups in southern Palm Beach County. The event was Impact 100 Palm Beach County's Grand Awards Celebration, and guests included women who had made a $1,000 donation to become an annual member. Those funds are pooled every year to make $100,000 grants to deserving charities in the categories of education, environment, arts and culture, family and health and wellness. Each of the finalist nonprofits had the opportunity to describe their project, their vision and what the high-impact grant would mean for their organization and the community. After the presentations, Impact members voted and the three with the most votes received a grant of $100,000 each.
Achievement Centers for Children and Families of Delray Beach received the first $100,000 grant for their Pine Grove Afterschool and Summer program. This new program will serve 150 elementary school students at Pine Grove Elementary, a school with a high concentration of low-achieving students living in poverty. The program will provide them with affordable aftercare and summer programs combining academic, cultural, recreational, social and leadership activities.
Florence Fuller Child Development Centers received the next $100,000 grant for their Family Preservation Program, designed to counteract the cycle of poverty by providing an integrated, comprehensive system of care for 500 family members on-site at their two centers in Boca Raton. The program includes family crisis intervention; case management, information and referral; parenting skills development; group and individual counseling for parents and children; job training; a mentoring program; financial and nutrition education classes; and healthy take-home family meals five days a week.
The final $100,000 grant recipient was The Creative City Collaborative (CCC), also known as the Arts Garage, for their Music and Theatre Education Program. This program will have two components – Drumline and Theatre Education - and will provide quality, no cost, sustained arts education for 1,000 disadvantaged children and youth in south Palm Beach County.
The other two finalist organizations, the Coastal Conservation Association and the United Cerebral Palsy of Palm Beach and Mid Coastal Counties each received a $10,000 grant.
"Our mission is to make an impact in our community and the best way to do that is to grow our membership and also retain our current members," said Sue Diener, co- President of Impact 100 Palm Beach County. "We hope that when you join, you enjoy the experience and return next year. We also encourage even more nonprofits to apply for our grants program. We would like to see every nonprofit in southern Palm Beach County supply their plan and have the opportunity to receive a grant."
Impact 100 Palm Beach County is a charitable women's organization celebrating "The Power of Women Giving as One." Their goal is to make it possible for a visionary idea to become a reality in a way that impacts the local community. The group met their target of 300 members this year, allowing them to give away three $100,000 grants. In their three-year-history, Impact 100 has awarded a total of $688,000 to organizations serving south Palm Beach County. Next year, their goal is 400 members and $400,000 in transformational grants.
Impact 100 is operated as a charitable fund at the Community Foundation for Palm Beach and Martin Counties. The Foundation also helps with the annual grant-making process.
All women who would like to be a part of this powerful "giving circle" are warmly welcomed! To join, or to learn more about Impact 100 Palm Beach County visit http://www.impact100pbc.com/ or call 561-336-4623.

Cupcake Love
This was supposed to be an entire dermographia shoot. It didn't workout that way. We decided to start out with a cupcake on my collar bone- boy did that not work! You can see it a bit but the first photo shows how splotchy it was and it faded quickly. My skin was not working with us that day. Despite that we at least got a couple of good photos and John Horwitz brought some awesome broken glasses which I just love.

3-year-old rushed to hospital after firing gun
3-year-old rushed to hospital after firing gun
A 3-year-old was rushed to a hospital Tuesday morning after the child fired a gun, according to Conway police.
Conway Police were called to a home on Second Avenue at about 11:30 a.m., according to Lt. Selena Small. She said it appears that the 3-year-old got hold of the gun and pulled the trigger, and the gun discharged near the child's face, causing injuries.
The child was conscious and in stable condition, police said. A description of the 3-year-old's injuries has not been released.
Police said they are not yet sure if the safety was on, how the child got the gun or where the gun was located in the house.

Welcome to Inertia Game Studios! In-between reloading our Nerf guns and bashing the buttons of our retro arcade machine we actually find the time to make games!
The story of Inertia begins many moons ago… Legend has it that a Fenland pig farmer named Graeme was collecting acorns for his mother, when he stumbled across an enchanted code wizard by the name of Greg. This unlikely duo knew instantly that by utilising Greg's extensive knowledge of c++ sorcery and Graeme's ability to successfully deliver a litter of piglets that this would be the perfect recipe for developing great games.Founded in 2003 Inertia has matured into a strong team of talented individuals who strive to deliver top notch Facebook and mobile games.
Meet the team
Greg Denness - Managing Director
About me? I'm lucky enough to be a programmer and a semi decent artist which means I frequently wear lots of hats (metaphorically of course.. I hardly ever get to wear real hats).
Unlike Bob Geldof I do like Mondays, in fact I love 'em! I get to work with an awesome team of friendly people and basically just do my hobby all week.
Graeme Clark - Managing Director
After spending many of my younger years knee deep in my Sega consoles convinced that hedgehogs were blue, it was time to put some clothes on and inaugurate a computer games studio.
My average working day at Inertia consists of drinking vast quantities of tea and blurring the concept of reality with my good friend Oculus.
Lucy Satchell - Senior Programmer/Producer
If studying for a degree in animation taught me one thing, it was that I didn't really want to be an animator. Fortunately, it led me on a round about route to programming, and Greg and Graeme saw enough potential in me to let me write code for Inertia.
Since 2011, I've worked on more games here than I can easily remember, continually learning and improving my coding style. I love how being part of a small company means I get to work in lots of different areas on the games we make.
Lauren Lakey - Operations Manager
In 2013 I started my job here and it was a very welcome change after spending 3 years doing a law degree.
Now I spend my time keeping Greg and Graeme in check and making sure that days at the office run smoothly, as well as being the person in the office that everyone can rely on to have some sort of food supply close to my desk.
Kim Wheeler - Administrative and Office Assistant
I started at Inertia in 2015 and quickly settled in to helping Lauren keep the office organised and helping out our customers. One of my proudest achievements since starting here has been fully organising and labelling the cupboard under the stairs (formerly a mess of wires!). I've also taken on the role of beardie mummy for Gerard… we have a very close bond.
As a former nursery teacher this role was a big change for me but I really love working here – I still get to play games but now it's with other "grown-ups" 🙂 I also have a Maths degree so I love helping players solve problems, while the teacher in me enjoys picking up grammar errors in soon-to-be-released games.
Laura Di Paolo - Administrative and Office Assistant
I usually play video games in the evening so now I get to do it during the day too! Ok, I don't get to play that many games in the working day (apart from our lunch breaks when I get beaten mercilessly at 'Super Smash Bros') but I do get to talk about them and be surrounded by talented, and like-minded, people. My days usually consist of helping out our players with any queries, creating content for our games and, if the need arises, play-testing our upcoming games!
Richard Lannigan - Game Designer and QA Tester
Hey! My work is currently split between mechanics design and liaising with outsource artists for a 'yet to be announced game', ooooo the mystery. And QA testing for all our games, and when they are ready, releasing them into wild!
Our lunches have turned into daily Super Smash Bros events, which is as awesome as it sounds! We're competitive and hardworking, but also have a tonne of fun! Being part of the Inertia team is fun and relaxing, apart from the odd Nerf dart to the head (gotta stay on your toes)!
Kieran Newland - Lead Game Developer
Inertia was my first job from University in 2015 where I joined as a programmer. I'm a robot so programming comes naturally to me. I was entrusted with a large amount of responsibility early on and I'm now the captain of a dedicated space crew. All of my time is spent on making Catastronauts the best it can be and hopefully the release will reflect that. Beep boop.
Aside from work, I'm addicted to Smash Bros. Every lunch time consists of an hour of practice. If you're a fan of the game, you'll find yourself at home here. I'm pretty sure the rest of the office is ready for a change of scenery though…
Alice Middleton - Programmer
In East Norfolk, born and raised,
On the computer was where I spent most of my days
Chillin' out maxin' relaxin' all cool,
And all throwin some Pokéballs at Tentacruel,
When a couple of guys who were up to no good,
Started making games in the Ely-hood,
I played one little game and no others compared,
So now I'm having loads of fun working there!
Lauren Duke - Art Director
As a new addition to the Inertia crew fresh from a Masters, I'm known as one of the 'arty farty' people on the team; Initially starting as a 3D artist with a love for pretty pixels and a passion for gaming, I soon began to wear many a metaphorical hat!
Nowadays I enjoy the challenge that each week brings; from concepting ideas, to modelling, texturing and animating. There's always something fun and interesting to work on, and plenty of cool ideas to keep my hungry imagination happy!

The first in a new series focussing on wildlife
A tree climbing dog
Our dog Bella is the smartest dog I know. My brother has taught her many tricks including opening and closing kitchen cupboard doors. Bella loves to do this and often closes doors when we do not want her to!
Bella is a four year old black Labrador with a passion for fruit and veggies. She takes her passion to the limits by regularly stealing food from our kitchen counter.
We have a small orchard on our lifestyle block which includes an apricot tree. Bella loves summer, when the apricots come out and she can snatch at a couple of the lower ones. A couple of years ago she figured that she can climb. And climb she did. She climbed the apricot tree to get a snack! She still does this regularly and is not afraid to do it when we are around! However naughty she is I really love our little 'apricot eater'.

A ransomware attack in early August has resulted in the loss of patient data at three-site Rainbow Children's Clinic, which delivers care in the Arlington and Grand Prairie region of Texas.
The attack affected an estimated 33,698 affected individuals who have received care from the provider.
As the attack started encrypting data on servers, the computer system was shut down to prevent further loss of data, according to a notice on the practice's web site. However, some patient records were "irretrievably deleted," the notice states.
Compromised or lost protected health information included names, addresses, birth dates, Social Security numbers and medical information. Since the attack, the practice has secured its network and systems to prevent another incident, executives say.
Rainbow Children's Clinic is offering credit monitoring and identity theft resolution services through Equifax. A clinic administrator was not available for direct comment.

Human rights for a better planet!
11 December 2015
Human rights for a better planet!
Banned in Paris, Banned in Thailand– On the celebration of 67th anniversary of International Human Rights Day, Chiang Mai-based civil society came together to enact solidarity with global civil society who gathered in Paris, France and elsewhere around the globe to take common ground on human rights and climate justice. Leaders at the international climate conference in Paris are working to forge a common agreement on how to address climate change and its dire consequences. However they have excluded civil society voices and have privileged corporate presence and interests. The privileging of profit has endangered human rights everywhere and directly threatened lives of human rights defenders.
"While leaders are meeting in Paris , more than 50 ENVIRONMENTAL HRDs including WHRDs been killed in Thailand for the last ten years . Thailand should combat impunity for violations committed against HRDs by ensuring that investigations are conducted promptly and impartially, and the perpetrators are held accountable." Pranom Somwong, APWLD member, Climate Hub for Change
Asia Pacific Forum on Women, Law and Development is standing in solidarity with the global community to demand a climate treaty that's in line with the realities of science and principles of justice. APWLD members and partners along with members of the public put out their shoes and formed a human chain as a mark of solidarity with the Global People's Movement and the need for action on climate change. The act symbolises the call to reclaim democratic spaces for civil actions, peoples' participation in global decision makings as well as the mere fact that if the climate talks in Paris fails, we will see only our shoes left with certain extinctions of people on the planet.
Women living in the Global South are the most vulnerable to the impacts of climate change. They are at increased risk due to their primary role in care work and agricultural production while water and food collection, which is often the responsibility of women, is becoming increasingly arduous. Burden of care often falls on women during times of disaster including caring for children and the elderly during floods and storms. Women in the Global South are least responsible for climate change, yet they pay the highest price.
Current climate policy is not enough to curb the effects of climate change. At the current rate of increasing temperatures 50 million people from Bangladesh alone will be displaced by 2050 due to climate change. After more than 20 years of negotiations since the Rio conference (1992), 195 country delegates are finalising a global climate agreement currently in Paris at the 21st Conference of Parties (COP21), which will fundamentally affect the global community's future of survival or perishment.
The event also highlighted the fundamental disconnect between climate and trade policy, which is a carefully crafted product of neoliberalism to normalise deep structural inequalities between countries, between rich and poor and between men and women. Agreements such as the Trans Pacific Partnership undermine climate policy through entrenching corporate power that foster inequality and environmental degradation. **
Pranom Somwong said "The Thai authorities should suspend the process of trade negotiation and agreement until democratic and representative legislative structures have been elected, and participatory mechanisms for community and civil society input have been installed"
Civil society in the Asia Pacific region is demanding governments take action on climate change. We are calling for a climate treaty that is based on science and the principles of justice. We are demanding to change our current global architecture that relies on increasing unsustainable production, consumption and resource extraction. We are asking for a climate solution that recognise the historical responsibilities of industrialized countries and introduces systematic changes to

Lay of the Land: A series of essays on the spirit of Montana
I don't know what to do in the wilderness and I seldom go to it. I live in Missoula, Montana, perhaps one of the best cities in America for easily accessing world-class wilderness areas, and yet I am an infrequent visitor to the hills surrounding town. Sometimes, when I am feeling lazy, I blame this on the fact that I have neither a car nor a driver's license, but then I remember a 20-minute bike ride will do, because I live in Missoula, Montana.

Six pack abs is the dream of millions of people, many of them register in gyms, have diet systems or do cardio, and unfortunately the majority of them don't achieve their goal.
Melting belly fat and having ab muscles is not an impossible goal, even is not that difficult. It only needs that you have deep understanding of the abs' nature and to work upon this knowledge.
In this article you'll read about 6 six pack abs facts that help you to understand how you will melt belly fat :
Hydration is Magic
Hydration is necessary if you want to melt belly fat and show your six abs.
It seems to be strange, but this is completely true, when you are dehydrated, your body tries to preserve water by storing it under your skin which could make you appear fatty.
On the other hand, being hydrated gives your body the feeling that it never need to store water any more.
Drinking water makes you feel the fuel, reduce your intense desire to consume food and enhance your metabolism. Maybe you could see that these factors are minor, but when you stick to them they surely help you in showing your six pack abs.
Sleep is More Important Than Food
Maybe you have been shocked with these abs facts, especially that sleeping is so important for you to reach the result you want, but Studies done by the national sleep foundation found a relation between the quantity and quality of one's sleep and many health issues. Insufficient sleeping affects the growth hormone secretion which is obviously linked to obesity, hypertension, cardiovascular problems and impair the body's ability to use insulin.
Sleeping is contributing to the healthy immune system, and balances your appetites by regulating levels of the hormones ghrelin and leptin, that results in our feelings of hunger and fullness. So when we don not sleep enough, we may feel the need to eat more, which could lead to weight and fat gain.
Your Six Pack Abs Need Protein to Show Up
Many people believe in cutting everything in order to have defined abs, and do not realize that it is not a wise action, abs are muscles that also have to recover and the most important fuel in the recovery process is protein.
You should also be smart when you choose your protein too, it should be pure protein to avoid gaining more fat which affects the time frame in which you'll achieve your goal.
Your body need between 0.8-2.0 gram of protein per kilo gram, so a man with 75 Kg. will need from 60 to 150 gram of pure protein depending on your activity program.
Weight Training is Necessity
Doing weight training helps you in increasing the total calories you need for body maintenance, this way it is easier for you to cut a reasonable number of these calories to reduce your body fat percentage, while your building muscles and do some balance in your body muscle, as building muscles motivates your body to melt belly fat,
"The more muscles you have, the more calories your body will burn".
Four to five days weight training program with three days cardio gives you the maximum benefits to lose your body fat and showing your abdominal muscle group as soon as possible.
Consider that the suitable time for your cardio is in the fasting state or directly after your weight training, as doing the HIIT cardio will be more efficient in the abs case .
You Should Reduce Your Sodium Intake
Your body need a proper amount of sodium for its functions, but having more sodium intake could increase the risk of stroke, heart attack, high blood pressure and kidney disease. Also, having more sodium makes your body retain more water, which let you look bloated, and this will not be good for showing your six pack abs.
Abs are not an Overnight Goal
If you have the intention to melt belly fat, you have to plan it very well, planning your abs workouts, your diet, and your cardio. Also you should register in inspiring blog, forum or groups which have people who did success stories, as you can team up in your exercises at the gym or even at home, this motivates you and gets you back to the track when you are about to give up, and remember that it is not an overnight journey, you must have a will and determination to achieve it.

TBI Guidelines for Performance-Based Seismic Design of Tall Buildings, Version 2.02
This seminar will highlight revisions incorporated into the just published Pacific Earthquake Engineering Research (PEER) Report No. 2017/06: "Guidelines for Performance-Based Seismic Design of Tall Buildings, Version 2.02," prepared by a TBI Working Group led by cochairs Ron Hamburger and Jack Moehle, with contributions from Jack Baker, Jonathan Bray, C.B. Crouse, Greg Deierlein, John Hooper, Marshall Lew, Joe Maffei, Stephen Mahin, James Malley, Farzad Naeim, Jonathan Stewart, and John Wallace.
These guidelines present a recommended alternative to the prescriptive procedures for seismic design of buildings contained in the ASCE 7 standard and the International Building Code (IBC). Properly executed, these Guidelines are intended to result in buildings that are capable of reliably achieving or exceeding the seismic performance objectives intended by ASCE 7, and in some aspects where specifically noted for Risk Categories II, III, and IV. The Pacific Earthquake Engineering Research Center published a first edition of these Guidelines in 2010 in response to the growing use of alternative performance-based approaches for seismic design of tall buildings. Newly released Version 2.02 addresses new knowledge including lessons learned in application of the first edition on many projects.
Seminar participants can receive a copy of the presentations as well as a hardcopy of the updated Guidelines.
Who Should Attend
The intended audience includes structural engineers and building officials engaged in seismic design and review of tall buildings. Attendees will receive 4 PDHs.

Risk For Mortgage Fraud Increases Slightly - CoreLogic
Aug 7, 2017. CoreLogic says conditions in the mortgage market are once again fertile ground for mortgage fraud. The company's National Fraud Risk Index hit a new high of 132 in the first quarter of this year versus 113 in the first quarter of 2016 and 122 in the fourth quarter.
Jacqueline Doty, executive, and product management for CoreLogic's Collateral Risk Solutions, reports in the company blog that hitting a "new high" isn't particularly momentous in this case, as the Index has only been around for a few years. It was established in 2010 after the high levels of fraud that existed during the housing boom had dropped along with mortgage volume. She said today's heightened number doesn't necessarily mean there is a lot more fraud occurring, just that conditions are present for it to increase.
