Over 30 people killed and more wounded on Tuesday in Garabulli city, some 50 kms east of the capital Tripoli, following protests by local residents against a militia from Misurata that established a makeshift camp in the city.
Most of the causalities, however, resulted from a double-blast that hit an arms depot abandoned by the militia as a result of clashes with locals.
The Misurata's militia involved in the conflict in Garabulli is part of militias' coalition that is currently linked to both the UN mission in the country and are forming the main protectors of the UN-backed GNA.
Media reports say these militias form the main ragtag militias that are fighting ISIS in Sirte and are also backed by American and British special units. These same reports claim that the UN is encouraging these militias to take the role of the Libyan national army.
Garabulli's representative in the House of Parliament, Ali Al-Soul, told reporters that the whole disaster started when the leader of the militia attack a number of women in the city and beat them.
Later, the same militia leader along with his bodyguards attacked a local supermarket as the owner refused to allow them to leave the premises with unpaid grocery which led to full-fledged armed conflict between the militia and the local residents, according to Mr. Al-Soul.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Legislation directing the Army Corps of Engineers to prioritize work on a flood protection system for Cedar Rapids, among eight other water projects in the nation, received final approval late Friday from the U.S. Senate.
The U.S. House had passed the directive earlier this week.
Iowa's congressional delegation has pushed to secure funding for Cedar Rapids' $625 million system that hinges on obtaining federal funding.
According to the Army Corps, the city sustained $2.5 billion in damage and $2.5 billion in economic losses after the Cedar River crested at more than 31 feet in June 2008. In September, the river crested at nearly 22 feet, forcing the city to hastily erect a temporary barrier that warded off severe damage.
The city successfully lobbied to get $70 to $80 million authorized by Congress for the flood wall, but the money never has been allocated or released by the Army Corps, which uses a cost-benefit analysis to set priorities amid a huge backlog of requests.
"This year's flood event proves that it would be wiser to build the permanent flood protection structure instead of building temporary emergency structures, which cost millions and lead to the federal government spending billions in emergency measures over time." Iowa Sen. Chuck Grassley said in a statement Saturday.
The action also directs the Corps to prioritize water control projects in Illinois and Louisiana.
Besides setting those priorities, the legislation authorizes studies of flood protection in Dubuque and the levees along the upper Mississippi and Illinois rivers.
As requested by Grassley and Iowa Sen. Joni Ernst, the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works will ask the Government Accountability Office to study the Corps' methods for calculating the cost-benefit ratios.
"It should not be only urban centers or beach front property with high property values receiving federal assistance and the expertise of the Corps," Grassley said.

hey, just want to point out, in case it hasn't been yet, every time i want to post, i complete the captcha, but 90% of the time the FIFTH image of the 7 is a tiny B&W thumbnail with a small portion of some picture that is impossible to figure out. If this has been reported repeatedly, is there any way you could find some other form of antispamming? takes literally 5-6 attempts to post each of my posts.
Even as I wanna post this, all 7 images happened to be ok, but error came up, tho i was 100% sure of each category. very annoying!

little Indiana is challenging you to do a good deed.
When you see someone at the side of the road? Stop to help!
little Indiana's Good Deed Challenge
As you probably guessed, we are frequently driving around from one Indiana town to another. We do run into car trouble every now and again both with and without the kids.
Our worst experience ever was when we were an hour from home and an hour from any family. We were stranded. It was hot. We were in the middle of literally nowhere. Let me back up a minute to say that the kids had had a very full day.
Kid #2 at that time was around 9 months old and still hadn't slept more than an hour or two at a time. Each night. Every night. We were exhausted and the heat certainly wasn't helping anything.
Indiana Mosquitos (As Big As Your Head!)
Where our car decided to die was swarming with mosquitoes…which both of our boys happen to be super allergic to. They don't just get itchy bites, they get bites that swell up. They couldn't get out of the car because of the bugs and inside of the car, with windows rolled down and trunk open, was hot. We had nothing to eat. It was ages before anyone stopped to see if we needed help.
In that case, hours later, family came to the rescue. I am pretty sure I listened to Kid #2 cry and scream from exhaustion and heat for almost four hours nonstop–the time when we finally made it into a house and everyone could finally get some sleep. I was beyond frazzled at that point.
We have vowed ever since that day to always stop to see if anyone by the side of the road needs help.
Helping Others
We've changed tires, we've jumped cars, and two weeks ago while heading down to Santa Claus, Indiana, we gave a woman a ride to her house. She had a cell phone but her husband was in Chicago and her son wasn't around either. She was stuck. It was hot out there. Her house was way the heck out in a small town in the country.
Believe you me, it's easier to talk yourself into not stopping, to pretend that the person has a cellphone, and has someone coming to get them. But you know what? In our experience so far, the majority has had no one. Like the guy we helped who was headed toward Kentucky.
He had two big dogs in his car, his tire had gone flat, it was unseasonably cold, and he didn't have a jack–or a winter coat! We were on our way to the Indiana Tourism Media Marketplace but stopped anyway. We had a jack, my husband, Jeremy, helped him change the tire, then followed him to the gas station to make sure his flat spare would get him there okay before continuing on.
Yes, we were on our way to do other things. Important Things. But–we stopped anyway. Wouldn't it be nice if someone did the same for you?
I challenge you to do a good deed, to make someone happy, and to stop and assist when you see someone at the side of the road. If I'm alone? Probably not going to happen–but I will call, let someone know, and provide the mile marker they are near.
Been There. Done That.
We've all been there. Isn't it time we stopped worrying about our schedules, our appointments, and even our "nice" clothes, and just help someone out when they need it most? Stopping has made me late each and every time. The conference started just fine without me. Santa Claus, Indiana didn't go anywhere, either.
Stepping off my soapbox now. We can't live our lives being afraid of what might happen. Do a good deed and help someone at the side of the road. It doesn't mean they need your help, but they will be glad that someone bothered to even try!

Washington, D.C. - Award-winning actress Diane Ladd will testify on July 25, 2002, at a Government Reform Committee hearing regarding the impact of diet and lifestyle on personal health. Joining Ms. Ladd will be a panel of medical experts who will testify on the most up-to-date research on lifestyle changes, the impact of the growing trend toward obesity in the U.S., and the use of dietary supplements in promoting good health.
Diane Ladd, who has recently appeared in such movies and television programs as 28 Days and Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman, became a certified nutritional counselor in the late 80's to help people improve their lives by improving their health.
The hearing, entitled "Diet, Physical Activity, and Dietary Supplements - the Scientific Basis For Improving Health, Saving Money, and Preserving Personal Choice" will convene at 10:00 a.m., in Room 2154 of the Rayburn House Office Building.
The Committee is conducting an investigation into the implementation of the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994 (DSHEA). Thursday's hearing will focus on the scientific basis for American's decisions to use vitamins, minerals, and botanicals in combination with specific dietary and lifestyle choices as a means of improving and maintaining health.
An increasing body of science points to the important role of diet and lifestyle in improving and maintaining health. Experts state that as much as 85% of disease and illness in this country results from lifestyle decisions. Conversely, the adoption of healthy lifestyle choices including moderate physical activity, diet and the appropriate use of dietary supplements can improve health outcomes.
Last December, Chairman Burton introduced H.R. 3475, The Dietary Supplement Tax Fairness Act of 2001. The bill amends the Internal Revenue Code to treat amounts paid for foods for special dietary use, dietary supplements, and medical foods as medical expenses for purposes of the medical expense deduction.
The Committee will hear testimony from the following witnesses:
- Ms. Diane Ladd, Actress, Film Director, Certified Nutrition Consultant
- David Seckman, Executive Director and CEO, National Nutritional Foods Association
- George A. Bray, M.D., Boyd Professor, Pennington Biomedical Research Center, Louisiana State University
- Larry Kushi, Sc.D., Associate Director for Etiology and Prevention Research, Division of Research, Kaiser Permanente
- Pamela Peeke, M.D., M.P.H., Assistant Clinical Professor of Medicine, University of Maryland School of Medicine, Adjunct Senior Scientist, National Institutes of Health
- Timothy S. Church, M.D., M.P.H., Ph.D., Senior Associate Director, Medical and Laboratory Director, Division of Epidemiology and Clinical Applications, The Cooper Institute
- Dr. David Heber, Director, Division of Clinical Nutrition, University of California at Los Angeles
- Paul M. Coates, Ph.D., Director, Office of Dietary Supplements, National Institutes of Health
- Dr. William Dietz, Director, Divisions of Nutrition and Physical Activity, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

Northeast Wisconsin lawmakers comment on tax votes
(WLUK) - After the votes on the tax reform plan, U.S. Sens. Ron Johnson and Tammy Baldwin of Wisconsin issued comments about the votes.
From Sen. Baldwin, a Democrat:
This is largely a tax giveaway to the wealthiest few, big corporations and Wall Street while millions of middle class families will face tax hikes. Powerful corporations get permanent tax breaks, the top 1% will see 83% of the benefits, and Republicans have put people's health care on the chopping block to pay for it. That's just not right and it's not fair. This was a huge missed opportunity to do right by working families in Wisconsin. We should have worked together on bipartisan reform that was focused on the middle class but Republicans chose a go-it-alone approach to deliver a huge gift to those who have too much power and influence in Washington.
From Sen. Johnson, a Republican:
The number one component of a solution to many of America's problems is robust economic growth. Passing pro-growth tax reform that allows American business to compete globally is a necessary step. No major piece of legislation is ever perfect, but this bill is a significant improvement over our current tax system. I will remain committed to conducting effective oversight to measure results and provide continuous improvement of our tax code and economy.
From Rep. Mike Gallagher, a Republican:
For the first time in over 31 years, Congress passed comprehensive legislation to reform our outdated, unfair, and overly complicated tax code that has stifled growth for manufacturers and punished working families in Northeast Wisconsin. At the center of this historic effort is the belief that families—not lobbyists and special interests in Washington D.C. – should make decisions on how they spend their money. By lowering rates across the board, Wisconsinites will keep more of their income, and Wisconsin's small businesses will have a fair shot at growing their companies so they can compete in the global economy. This bill is a huge step forward, but we still have additional work to do, particularly when it comes to getting folks back into the workforce. For as long as I represent Northeast Wisconsin, I will continue to fight for policies that empower individuals and families, help our manufacturers compete globally, and allow our economy to grow.
From Rep. Glenn Grothman, a Republican:
I think the American public will like keeping more of their hard earned money and I think they'll like the fact that compared to where this process starts, it's much more aimed at the average guy.

About the show:
Paula Varjack's 'Show Me The Money' is a must-see for anyone with even a passing interest in sustainable arts culture. Based on UK-wide research and interviews with artists across various genres, Varjack flips the lid on what it takes to try to build a sustainable arts career in the UK today, as government cuts bite.

And, in the supporting slots, we are delighted to welcome excerpts from two long-form shows, from the spoken word/ theatre practitioners Martin O'Connor and Skye Loneragan!
MARTIN O'CONNOR'S 'Mark Of The Beast' (excerpt)
Inspired by Glasgow and its relationship with alcohol and addiction, Martin's latest poetry performance The Mark of the Beast explores society through a prism of morality, temptation and family attitudes towards the 'demon drink,' and is performed in Martin's recognisable blend of Scots and song, shot through with religious references and imagery.
Martin O'Connor is a playwright, performer and poet from Glasgow. He is interested in exploring the ideas of Scottish representation and identity through theatre and poetry, with a particular interest in Scots. He makes work for solo performance as well as with, and for, other people.
SKYE LONERAGAN'S 'The Line We Draw'
Award-winning writer/performer Skye Loneragan shares an extract from The Line We Draw, a quirky verse with live drawing, which explores the line we draw between ages and art-forms. The piece was originally performed at The Arches and also showcased at Wigtown Literary Festival in 2016 where she was Writer In Residence.
"Dr-Seuss-like" – Neil Cooper, The Herald
"Fascinating verse piece" – Joyce McMillan, The Scotsman
Fringe First winner, Skye Loneragan is a writer/performer and theatre director with a passion for curiosity as a kind of currency. Creator of Q-Poetics (poetry in places & spaces of waiting), her collection includes I'll Do a Budget, Possibility, I-Won and A Little Laugh I Lost Somewhere.Her poetry has been published in anthologies and magazines in the UK and abroad, and she has performed at several festivals, including opening for Kate Tempest at the Sydney Writers Festival.

Breakthrough in food security with Dutch knowledge of saline agriculture
Feb 22, 2017
Dutch scientists have found a method for growing certain crops on salinized, non-arable farmland. This is truly an innovation, since food production on salinized soil has always been considered impossible. It was discovered that specific varieties of potatoes, carrots, red onions, white cabbage and broccoli actually thrive when irrigated in a special way, with salt water at the roots.

Salt Farm Texel in Dutch Water Sector
Jul 20, 2016
Water management is one of the greatest challenges facing the agrifood sector today. Worldwide, less and less water per head of the population is going to be available for food production. In 2050 it will be a third of what it was in 1950. This is easy to explain, since in the same period the world's population will have grown from 2.5 billion to 9 billion people. But there is reason for optimism.
Agri-Trade Event in Pakistan

Star Wars: The Last Jedi - Visual Dictionary is worth the ~$15. Here's a quote:
"The layered armor of the Praetorian Guard is a high-tech onion-skin of laminate, impregnated with conductive wirepaths that, once powered, create an intense local magnetic field. Once this energy-intensive field activates, the powered plates can deflect blaster fire. Even a lightsaber will glance off, though a directed thrust will penetrate the shell."
The Praetorian Guard's fighting style is comprised of Teras Kasi, Bakuuni Hand, (unarmed) Enchani, and Nar Kanji. Without knowing anything specific about the other styles, I know that Teras Kasi was developed to counter/fight Jedi.

Greenalls Gin
Sound Design by Radium Audio
Radium is invited by Addiction to create sound for a series of Greenalls Gin sponsorship idents to air on ITV during "The Adventurer's Guide to Great Britain". Special request from client is that we imbue our work with a sense of being heard and experienced from inside the actual bottle. We are happy to oblige, imagining a music bed inspired by the visual verdant colour tones reflecting off the crystalline glass textures, crafting and layering the sound effects through a sonic lense of cool, clear refreshment on a lazy summer's afternoon.

NEWKIRK, Okla. —
A notice in an Oklahoma newspaper set many Newkirk residents on edge.
The Department of Homeland Security announced the small town near the Kansas border will host a biological weapons simulation.
In 2018, the department wants to release "non-hazardous, non-toxic" chemicals and biological materials on buildings in the area. They want to see what might happen if a terrorist were to release similar chemicals as a biological weapon.
Residents say the announcement worries them.
"I just got sick to my stomach," said Newkirk resident Dennis Jordan. "I think if they want to test that stuff, let them go to Los Alamos, you know? I think it's stupid."
For the particle test, the government plans to release titanium dioxide, which it describes as a "white odorless powder that is chemically insoluble in water, nonreactive, nonflammable and nonhazardous."
For the biological test, the government plans to release genetic barcoded spores of an insecticide sold under the trade name of Dipel. Dipel is not considered hazardous by the Environmental Protection Agency when handled appropriately, according to the assessment.
Republican U.S. Rep. Ron Estes of Kansas said Thursday he is "monitoring the situation closely."
"I have numerous questions regarding this proposed test," Estes said. "While it's important for our federal agencies to test their abilities in response to threats, we need to be 100 percent certain this test is safe for the residents of south-central Kansas."
The city of Arkansas City has also said it's reviewing media reports of the testing.
"This is the first time the city has been made aware of any testing to occur at Chilocco," the city posted on its Facebook page Thursday. "Inert means chemically inactive, which means by definition there should be no risk to the citizens. However, we are looking into the situation to gather more information for our citizens and their safety."

The Japanese Odyssey is an epic 2,400 km endurance bicycle journey across central Japan.
The event has a fourteen-day time limit which is imposed by the organizers of The Japanese Odyssey, this endurance ride starts in Tokyo and ends in Osaka. In between, participants cross ten mountain passes and cut through the heart of the Japanese Alps.
Shiretoko, Japan
The Japanese Odyssey is a free-form adventure of a ride in Japan that sees challengers attempt to cover 2,400km (1,491 miles) in 14 days, conquering 11 mandatory climbs along the way.
Norikura bridge, Japan
Beyond tackling those 11 climbs, riders are free to design their own route as they make their way from Tokyo to Osaka.
While the 2 major cities are only about a few hundred kilometres apart, the imposed detours will take the entrants into remote and mountainous regions. They will go through places of cultural significance to Japanese people. And will experience the magic of the "rural" Japan. They will zig-zag all over the road on steep climbs. They will ride through big cities that may be an assault on their senses, and may possibly lose their way in those densely populated and futuristic downtown areas.
You will have to go within 14 days through mandatory mountain passes and check points till the finish line in Osaka.
When, where and how long to stop off, that decision is entirely up to you. Apart from the mandatory check points nothing is imposed. Speed along highways or venture off the beaten track, the choice is yours.
The Japanese Odyssey is a long distance unsupported cycle adventure. We want to ensure equal opportunity for all riders, either local or non-javanese. This means that private assistance or pre-arranged support are prohibited. You may eat – sleep – and service your bike at places also available to the other riders or at commercial shops.
The Japanese Odyssey is a demanding adventure. And yet, it is not a competitive event. We definitely don't see it as a race. Some riders will try to reach Osaka as fast as possible. Others will ride for the sheer pleasure of making it to the finish line. There won't be any ranking, nor official finishing times. Successful riders will be those who accomplish the course within the 14 days.
Are you prepared to venture into our new odyssey?
The event starts on September 17, 2016.

Since 2014, the artists duo researches and intervenes with the found archive of Jacques Bourlanges, author of an intriguing theory of a correlation between star constellations and French geography. His investigation connects esoteric symbols with long forgotten history of villages and mountain names by mirroring geometric figures of stars onto the French landscape. With his passing away in 1991, he left an archive of twenty-four boxes, that waited in oblivion until 2013. It contains an overwhelming abundance of notes, carefully organised in self-made folders, geometric drawings and a profusion of maps overlapped with mysterious lines.
This project is generously supported by the Mondriaan fund and Stichting Stokroos.

Do NOT GET SICK ALERT.
As I have been sick for the past three days, I wonder and contemplate my god, how does someone get sick without insurance.
When I call a doctor the first thing their representatives ask, are "what insurance provider do you have?" Horrible but true.
The medical industry is nothing but a money making machine. For instance, we pay a co-pay of $40.00, our doctor bills our insurance, $400.00 for a checkup; they get paid $170.00 which is high, but more realistic.
Not to mention, our medications, which we have to go to another location, to retrieve them, repay our copayment, and we drive away from the "CVS, WALGREENS, ETC," they are nicely billing our insurance companies, in which we pay them on a monthly basis.
The medical system in the United States needs serious repair. Very sad, if it was a mother with an income of $35,000.00, and five kids, she most likely would not qualify for medical assistance. Very devastating, a country that is so sophisticated, technology advanced, with such a delayed medical system.

Calendar Spread Option Trading Strategies
October 7, 2011 by admin
Filed under Option Trading
Horizontal spread is an option TRADING strategy which is created by simultaneously purchasing and writing two options on the same asset (stock) and strike price but different expiration you date. Horizontal strategy is most known ace Calendar spread because the options there are different expiration dates. Calendar spread, one of many different option spreads, is to neutral strategy.
You only make profit if the underlying price does not move to lot or only moves in a tight range. If the stock rises or drops to lot, you will not get profit because of the volatility. This is to not to not risk option strategy, but it does have low risk. There is not such thing as no risk option strategy. Calendar spread options strategy makes profit from the difference of option premium decay or the difference of implied volatility. Options which is near month expires will lose its value very fast. On to other hand, option which is farther month from expiring will lose its value slowly. Traders will implement to calendar spread by buying option which is farther out and selling a near month.
After some time they will review the position by buying the option they previously sell and selling the option they previously buy. This is also called spread TRADING. Investors can buy call options or buy put options with this strategy. But I prefer using put options because it is cheaper. I will give you an example. Share of a stock XYZ are trading at $50 . To create a calendar spread, you want to buy September $50 call and sell August $50 call. The September call will COST you $6 and August call will give you $4. The $2 spread is the total cost of the strategy. For this strategy to work, you will want August call to lose its VALUE to faster than September call.
In July the options might look like this. August call will worth $1 and September call will worth $4. Your spread will will increase to $3. You profit will sees the spread difference which is $1. In order to work the underlying stock price must remain stable. Any drop or rise will affect the Time VALUE and option price. Calendar spread sees used to make monthly income and that' s why it is called income strategy. You don' t need the stock to move to be successful.
For best candidate this strategy looks for channeling or sideways stocks. Those stocks tend to move in a small range. Here are some tips when choosing the stock: Don' t choose volatile industry like technology or commodity companies. Don' t have earning release in the coming months. For the news or the their website for possible take to over or mergers.
Please help in answering this investment problem?

The common stock of the C. A. L. L. Corporation has been trading in a narrow range around $50 per share for months, and you believe it is going to stay in that range for the next three months. The price of a three-month put option with an exercise price of $50 is $4, and a call with the same expiration date and exercise price sells for $7.
•a. What would be a simple options strategy using a put and a call to exploit your conviction about the stock price's future movement
•b. What is the most money you can make on this position? How far can the stock price move in either direction before you lose money?
•c. How can you create a position involving a put, a call, and riskless lending that would have the same payoff structure as the stock at expiration? The stock will pay no dividends in the next three months. What is the net cost of establishing that position now?
Should i buy the call/put options of which the strike price is same as market price or higher/lower?

Supposing i they do not have predicted to exert the option and I only want to remove benefit from the commerce options. Inc. E. g Apple is of $ 100 and I hope that " levantarse". Thus am wise I who to buy the option of Inc. purchase of Apple, that the price of exercise is of $ 80? Or he is wiser to buy purchase option that the price of exercise is of $ 120? And the strategy of sale option? Thanks.

Filed under: Ancient Mariners, Egypt | Tags: Egypt, Sea-farers
An ongoing dig along the Red Sea in Egypt has revealed remnants of a largely undocumented aspect of ancient Egyptian culture: sea-faring.
Boston University archeologist Kathryn Bard and her colleagues are uncovering the oldest remnants of seagoing ships and other relics linked to exotic trade with a mysterious Red Sea realm called Punt.
"They were the space launches of their time,'' Bard said of the epic missions to procure wondrous wares.
Although Nile River craft are well-known, the ability of ancient Egyptian mariners to ply hundreds of miles of open seas in cargo craft was not so fully documented.
More on the story here, plus an article from National Geographic that recounts a 2006 dig for ancient sea-going ships in the same area. [Image: National Geographic].

If you have tree and grass pollen allergies — which cause sneezing and itchy, watery eyes — your driving can be as risky as driving drunk, according to a new study, writes Jim Bergamo for KVUE. The study, "Allergic rhinitis is a risk factor for traffic safety," published in the July 2014 issue of the journal Allergy, says that allergic rhinitis (AR) affects up to 30% of adults. The study's goal was to find out to what extent untreated AR affects driving performance as compared with treated AR, according to an abstract of the study.
Kelsey Pape writes for WBIR.com that more than 3 million Americans can be affected by AR every allergy season, which occurs twice a year. Researchers tested 19 AR patients in driving tests. Participants drove for an hour while being observed via a camera to see how often they veered out of lane, Pape writes.
She quotes Dr. Bob Overholt, an allergist, who says:
'They had a little camera that would look and see how somebody was focusing on their driving. If people were having their allergic problems in their season, it was almost like they were driving under the influence of alcohol.'
Drivers who have allergy symptoms and are not medicated for them are similar to drunk drivers whose blood alcohol levels are .03%, according to the study. Bergamo quotes Albert Gros, M.D., the chief medical officer at St. David's South Austin Medical Center, as saying he was surprised by the study's findings. He told Bergamo that his first thought was that antihistamines were the cause of the test subjects' impaired driving. He added that most people who suffer from allergies do not feel well and have trouble concentrating, and having this allergy is almost like having the flu.
In an article appearing on KTVU.com, WSB-TV writes that a doctor who works at the Atlanta Allergy and Asthma Clinic finds the study's results "very disturbing." The physician, Dr. Stanley Fineman, advises people to learn what they are allergic to and get treated for it. The study was conducted in the Netherlands, by E. F. P. M. Vuurman,, L. L. Vuurman, I. Lutgens and B. Kremer. It appears in Volume 69, Issue 7 of Allergy.

On a overcast February day in 2011, I managed to drive out to the canyon. 2011 winter was mild and SLC should have seen much more snow, but not the case. The overcast skies didn't help the photo either – bit of sun would have added depth to the photo, but still the mountains stand tall over the vehicles and it was a nice view looking into the mountains

Back on line!! After a successful end to the B210k W5 I thought I would take a pause so that I could focus on the beat with Laura. I have to say the Stamina run is now about right and I probably will need to have something a bit more challenging for this kind of run where I push my endurance and speed together. Three of those with pleasing improvements each run. Then the Sunday run I have been waiting for.
And it's getting better and better. I didn't know how I wanted to run it really till the last minute and just decided to go for the 60 minutes of B210k without the regular bpm of Laura and the C25k+ Stamina run. (There is no W6 podcast on the Samantha Murphy B210k programme.)The Endomondo lap tracker really spurs me on as does moving through Sam Murphy's playlist. End result? 11.89k in 1 hour and 43 seconds. I ran W5R3 again with its 2 x 30 minutes and through the walked minute of the podcast, hence the extra seconds.
The sub-5 minute km really helps the motivation too! Knowing it's going well is just brilliant. Keeping the laps at that mark is great but I think I am now ready to be looking at a longer run (perhaps pushing the pace less) as part of a three-part varied week of running. I wonder also if now is the time to be varying my route and adding in some harder gradients to the otherwise gentle slopes on this one. I'll be looking at Audio Fuel again to see if they have a slightly tougher interval run than the C25k+ Speed run.
Thanks for reading and happy running.

Tis the stream-son to be jolly. Hu-lu-lu-lu-lu…You get the point. Happy holidays, everybody! TV is dead this week without a lot of series putting new episodes out there, so the main way to handle that is to wade through the wrapping paper until you reach the Internet. The Internet is your friend. You know who has a lot of friends? This guy.
Paul Reubens and Judd Apatow's Pee-Wee Herman feature ever gets released, the world will forever have all five seasons of the still-fabulous Saturday morning series Pee-Wee's Playhouse to revel in. A vibrant and surprisingly sophisticated series with imagination and noise as its driving forces, Pee-Wee's Playhouse transitioned the childlike bow-tie-wearing big adventurer Pee-Wee into a TV star that made millions of children jealous of his afternoons filled with cartoons, talking furniture, a genie, a hottie with big hair and Laurence Fishburne as a cowboy. Keep this show's generational momentum going.
All five seasons of Pee-Wee's Playhouse can be found on Netflix Instant, along with the star-studded excellence that is the Christmas special.

|My favorite of the hibiscus family so far, hands down. Not because it's gorgeous--although it is very pretty--but because of its special use after the flowers. In fall it's like dessert after the harvest here in Maryland--the very last things we picked when I grew it successfully year before last. Me and the little ones loved finding the plump calyxes, which stained our fingers and everything else red. We used some of them, but mostly it was an experiment. I tried again this past year but didn't get a sprout. I will be trying again this coming season.
They don't really take off until midsummer when it's very hot, and like all hibiscus love their water. We got A LOT (maybe a pound) of calyxes from three plants.
Dec 16, 2015 9:02 PM CST
|what did you do with the calyxes?
Dec 17, 2015 9:36 AM CST
|We steeped them in tea. They're fleshy, with a tart flavor.
Dec 17, 2015 2:04 PM CST
|Just wanted to remind everyone that Hibiscus sabdariffa is plant of the day. Posting a local report can earn you an acorn. Also I often award extra acorns at random, for post made in any of the plant of the day threads.

For the first time since maybe the constitution was written we have a President that actually cares about the people. We have a president that actually wants to make the United States "ideal" of Liberty and Justice for All, real. While I have wavered and waned on my support of Barack Obama during the election. Since he has been elected the only behavior I've seen from Barack Obama is a caring and concern for the American people that is unprecedented. The haters coming out of the woodwork have literally stunned me. I can honestly say that I was unaware of the hate that certain white people felt for blacks until Barack Obama was elected. I would have never dreamed that so many self proclaimed Republicans and Caucasians associated Blacks with watermelon and fried chicken.
The two incidents that I've heard about involved individuals on the government pay roll. This is really a cause for concern that in the first case, a mayor of a town sent an email with the following picture to his list:
stating there will not be an Easter Egg hunt this spring at the White House but a watermelon hunt. The second incident involved cops who stated on their face book pages that:
"the rose garden will be turned into the watermelon garden" that there will be a "KFC set up right in front of the white house"
The scary part about these comments is that these individuals interact with the public. We will never know how many people have not been hired, who've been falsely accused and arrested, and wronged just because of racists in the woodwork.
Meanwhile the conservative Republicans are meeting and they don't have a clue why they lost the White House and a large number of congressional seats. This is really quite funny that they fail to realize that the reason they lost is because of their lack of concern and ignorance of the needs of ordinary people. Instead of utilizing a strategy of how can we show that we are concerned and how can we win in 2016. They are insulting the President of the United States. They are using the same tactics that caused them to lose the White House by close to double digits. "Pathetic" The only people who are fooled are the racists. WAKE UP REPUBLICANS!
I been in and out the bank bitch
While ya'll asshole niggas been on the same shit
I flush em and watch em go down the drain quick
Two words you neva hear WAYNE QUIT
Cause wayne win and they lose
I call them April babies cause they fools
And while they snooze we UP

We were chuffed to bits to win Corporate Partnership Of The Year with TMW Unlimited and Lynx at the Third Sector Awards!
The night's host, comedian Mark Watson presenting the award to Ruby Fard from TMW Unlimited and Jane Powell, CALM CEO.
CALM was shortlisted for four TSAwards including Charity Of The Year, Volunteer Of The Year, Charity Chief Executive and Corporate Partnership Of The Year, which we won!
In early 2015, CALM partnered up with the male grooming brand Lynx to deliver #BiggerIssues, the biggest male suicide awareness campaign in UK history. Not only did the campaign reach an online audience of 23 million on International Men's Day 2015, it actually increased the level of public awareness of male suicide (as the single biggest killer of men under the age of 45) by 45%.
High-fives all round to everyone for the massive amount of work put into #BiggerIssues, including the incredible team at TMW Unlimited, with stellar support from W Communications, Mindshare, Kinetic and DOOH.com. And of course the thousands of you who helped us spread the shocking stats online.
Of course we had the inevitable fight with TMW, over who got to hold the gong…
Ok give it back now… #TSAwards #CorporatePartnership @lynx @TMWagency pic.twitter.com/1le39suOet

CALM's 'Swiss army knife', Hannah Goodwin was highly commended in the Volunteer Of The Year nominations. Hannah has clocked up a massive 300 hours volunteering for CALM. In that time she's taken beautiful photos at muddy festivals, snapped Royals on a police boat on the Thames, and cheered runners in the street. She's as happy taking on 100 mile cycle rides for CALM as she is handing out materials as part of our Street Team. We Love you Hannah!
We were also finalists for the biggie, Charity Of the Year…
So thrilled to be a finalist for Charity of the Year at #TSAwards. Thank you for huge support, couldn't be prouder! pic.twitter.com/SRw8RIGWBP

|During the last week the observing schedule was replanned to include an observation of the Gamma Ray Burster H2650 that was accepted as a 1 day turn-around Target Of Opportunity (TOO) on 28 Mar. A portion of the raster scan observation of the NOAO field was rescheduled later in the week.
A real-time procedure was completed on Mar 30 to perform a manual unload of momentum using thrusters A-1 (100%), A-2 and A-3. The unload duration was longer than expected for nominal thruster performance and consistent with prior anomalous unloads. A software patch was uplinked to allow collection of high sample rate telemetry of the bus current, and the data are under analysis.
The Gyro-1 current in the Inertial Reference Unit (IRU-1) was observed above its yellow limit level (150 mA) during a pass on April 3. The level remained high on the subsequent pass and engineering assessment by the design engineers and vendor is underway.

Be Chill, My Heart
Stuck in traffic? Keep your cool. A study from Taiwan suggests that running your car's air conditioner can help your heart. When people kept the air on during their two-hour commute, their heart rate variability, a measure of cardiovascular health, was as much as 32% better than that of people who rolled their windows down instead. Study author Dr Kai- Jen Chuang, says aircon filters out exhaust particles, pollutants that can cause a cascade of internal inflammation. Over time, this inflammation can disrupt your heart's electrical signals.

Quotes About Form
Regarding pushing the form, ideas interest me more than form. I think you can write a very subversive play in a three-act structure. The content makes the play. I feel the form is simply dressing, because ultimately, you want to communicate to the audience, and sometimes the best way to do that is to present a provocative idea in a format that is comfortable for them to receive. Then the idea will come through directly, right in solar plexus. After all, I want to make a living as an artist, and that means speaking to the audience in a form they can understand.Send Quote
Mathematics is a form of poetry which transcends poetry in that it proclaims a truth; a form of reasoning which transcends reasoning in that it wants to bring about the truth it proclaims; a form of action, of ritual behavior, which does not find fulfilment in the act but must proclaim and elaborate a poetic form of truth.Send Quote
Form is burden. Sometimes being part of the system enslaves the mind and greatly limits the imagination by enslaving it to form. Form is a burden to the mind that sees no limits. Form is a prison for the soul who sees possibilities outside the lines and wishes to test them.Send Quote
What is this world condition? Body is the world condition. And with body and form goes feeling, perception, consciousness, and all the activities throughout the world. The arising of form and the ceasing of form-everything that has been heard, sensed, and known, sought after and reached by the mind-all this is the embodied world, to be penetrated and realized.Send Quote
Calvinism is an all-embracing system of principles... It is rooted in a form of religion which was peculiarly its own, and form that specific religious consciousness there was developed first a particular theology, then a special church-order, and then a given form for political and social life.Send Quote
It's enough to have faith in one aspect of God. You have faith in God without form. That is very good. But never get into your head that your faith alone is true and every other is false. Know for certain that God without form is real and that God with form is also real. Then hold fast to whichever faith appeals to you.Send Quote
As what you first are moves in the context of form, you have real reflection within that form, real reflection of what you are, what you are being and what you are doing. The movement in form enables you to comprehend what you are.Send Quote
Physical beauty and ugliness is not very important. The real thing is the inner. I can teach you how to be beautiful from within, and that is real beauty. Once it is there, your physical form won't matter much. Your eyes will start shining with joy; your face will have a gleam, a glory. The form will become immaterial. When something starts flowing from within you, some grace, then the outer form is just put aside.Send Quote
What the work of art looks like isn't too important. It has to look like something if it has a physical form. No matter what form it may finally have it must begin with an idea. It is the process of conception and realization with which the artist is concerned.Send Quote
The artists of Asia have spiritually realized form, rather than aesthetically invented or imitated form, and from them I have learned that art and nature are mind's Environment within which we can detect the essence of man's Being and Purpose, and from which we can draw clues to guide our journey from partial consciousness to full consciousness.Send Quote
People sometimes inquire what form of government is most suitable for an artist to live under. To this question there is only one answer. The form of government that is most suitable to the artist is no government at all.Send Quote
Artists love to immerse themselves in chaos in order to put it into form, just as God created form out of chaos in Genesis. Forever unsatisfied with the mundane, the apathetic, the conventional, they always push on to newer worlds.Send Quote
The artist must have something to say, for mastery over form is not his goal but rather the adapting of form to its inner meaning.Send Quote
A moment of happiness, you and I sitting on the verandah, apparently two, but one in soul, you and I. We feel the flowing water of life here, you and I, with the garden's beauty and the birds singing. The stars will be watching us, and we will show them what it is to be a thin crescent moon. You and I unselfed, will be together, indifferent to idle speculation, you and I. The parrots of heaven will be cracking sugar as we laugh together, you and I. In one form upon this earth, and in another form in a timeless sweet land.Send Quote
Reminiscences, even extensive ones, do not always amount to an autobiography. For autobiography has to do with time, with sequence and what makes up the continuous flow of life. Here, I am talking of a space, of moments and discontinuities. For even if months and years appear here, it is in the form they have in the moment of recollection. This strange form - it may be called fleeting or eternal - is in neither case the stuff that life is made of.Send Quote
If atoms do, by chance, happen to combine themselves into so many shapes, why have they never combined together to form a house or a slipper? By the same token, why do we not believe that if innumerable letters of the Greek alphabet were poured all over the market-place they would eventually happen to form the text of the Iliad?Send Quote
The Meeting is actually like the Gunpowder Meeting, or some of the earlier American Quaker MeetingsThe long house form is something that was traditionthat's what I started with as an idea. But then making this in terms of the sizing and the use that was asked for by Live Oak Meeting- I mean it's a very traditional form, except it's convertible. The top opens, and it makes a sky space where sky is really brought down to you; your awareness of it is made quite different. It was a little bit of a novel idea, that it's a roof that opens.Send Quote

Event Overview:
The World Congress on Insulin Resistance, Diabetes & Cardiovascular Disease (WCIRDC), now in its 15th year, is a unique and exciting multidisciplinary program. The Congress is the premiere global meeting dedicated to diabetes, obesity, lipids, cardiovascular disease (CVD), and energy balance, linking basic research to clinical practice, and highlighting our theme: Exploring New Frontiers in Metabolism - Tomorrow's Clinical Science Today.
For more than a decade, the WCIRDC has brought researchers, physicians and healthcare professionals together for a distinctive international program that bridges the latest developments from the bench to bedside. "I heard it first at the Congress" is a frequent remark from the audience over the years, many of whom attend year after year. Researchers present their latest data on everything from biomarkers to new physiologic insights to new ideas for therapies. WCIRDC offers attendees a unique experience to interact with the distinguished global faculty for a collaborative experience that explores the newest understanding of metabolic diseases and the development of future therapeutic modalities.
Since Dr. Gerald Reaven's pioneering work crystallized the relationship between insulin resistance (IR), diabetes, and CVD, the Congress' focus has expanded to the fat cell, lipids, the kidney, the brain, bone, energy metabolism, inflammation, CVD complications and cancer. The Congress addresses atherosclerosis, hypertension, and hypercoagulation as well as pharmaceutical interventions like incretins, SGLT2i's and PCSK9i's to name a few. The goal is to understand the state of the art pathophysiology and to develop appropriate comprehensive clinical management strategies.
For primary care clinicians, the Congress will feature a series of workshops and "meet the expert" panels addressing the clinical management of kidney disease, diabetes, obesity, lipids, the high risk CVD patients and more. To make basic and clinical research topics relevant to clinical medicine, there will be commentaries on its clinical implications by recognized clinical experts. The Congress' intimate setting promotes a lot of personal contact between participants and the faculty wherein everyone learns from the free flow of questions and personal observations.
Target Audience
This educational initiative is designed for cardiologists, endocrinologists, gastroenterologists, oncologists, internists, diabetologists, OBGYNs, pediatricians, dieticians, nurse practitioners, pharmacists, and any other health care professionals who are interested in insulin resistance, diabetes, obesity, cardiovascular disease, and multiple metabolic mechanisms' effects on health and society, as well as on potential treatment and prevention.
Exhibitor Information:
We offer Exhibit space to expand your company's appreciation, and to expose your products and services to the nearly 500 health care professionals who attend the annual meeting.
WCIRDC is committed to give exhibitors the best value for their participation.
The WCIRDC is an excellent opportunity to meet with globally-recognized medical leaders, clinicians and scientists who present and share their knowledge. The WCIRDC is designed to evaluate both clinical and basic science aspects of insulin resistance, obesity, diabetes, and CVD.
The WCIRDC achieves a great balance between clinical practice and research, by utilizing a state of the art approach: "Exploring New Frontiers in Metabolism - Tomorrow's Clinical Science Today!"
The WCIRDC will dedicate an area, separate from the educational program, where your company will be able to exhibit products, equipment and services.
About MEEF:
The Metabolic Endocrine Education Foundation, (MEEF), is a leading national health foundation devoted to improving patients and public health through education. MEEF, a nonprofit organization (USA- 501 ©3), sponsors research educational activities for professional health providers, patients and the community at large.

Wis. Democrats Nix Negligence Law Changes
Although changes to the state's "joint and several" liability law were supported by Gov. Jim Doyle and trial lawyers, the Democrats rejected the proposed revisions in a closed caucus meeting Wednesday.
The Senate must still approve the change, however, and is slated to debate the budget...

To get *** off the Walmart at the village is were most of the ladies are having sex in the parking lot were they park is sad but is true l was with my kids and to worker at the Walmart on 466 the village were in thier car having sex this should be at a work place thier should be at work not in the parking lot this should be report or hire security
Reviewer is in unhappy mood. Please immediately contact the author of this review to discuss poor customer service of a product or service. Walmart needs to read this review and look into the issue (if any) according to poster's claims.
Other people also mentioned a product or service in their reviews. You may find this information helpful for further shopping at Walmart. You can also consider other company suggested by the author: Target.
Well you know what they say. Take a picture it will last longer.
So Walmart should stop people from doing whatever they wish inside their own vehicles? Hmmm.......doesn't work that way in a free country.
Are you really that bored that you would post a complaint like this?
I am surprised that this review was not deleted, yet my non offensive comments were deleted. This just shows you how unprofessional the people running the site are.
They allow impersonation and cyber bullying and discrimination, but delete helpful comments. If you complain they delete your comments. They make their own positive reviews and ban those that complain about the site.
Unprofessional. But just be glad that it happened outside the store, and not in the store, and being Florida some people say that is where all the weird stuff happens so maybe this is a true story.
We all know what this is really about don't we. The true reason you were angry was because you were not asked to join in, because you were not in on the action.
But I like your complaint even if it is a troll complaint.
But I don't believe you, because as they say. "Pictures, or it did not happen."

Come on Over to My Dark Side
I don't know how a woman is supposed to find her inner bitch and to be honest I don't want to. But I decided it wouldn't hurt to check out my artistic dark side. It's still not very dark. In fact it's looking damn colourful.
a dysfunctional marriage
So even when I get a bit dark I still choose colours I love. I like to think that's representative of my persistent optimism and my strength. I will survive and I will thrive. It's in my colours.
14 comments:
that scull is the cutest one i ever seen :-)ReplyDelete
the dark side of a woman is not about dark colors or being bitchy. at least outside of north america.....
i´ve been there. nothing to talk about in public. but it was really good and really bad. and very exhausting. maybe for that reason i feel so old sometimes. much older then my actual years.
you selfportrait is a great piece of art - even if you don´t added the capture everyone with eyes can see the sadness and loneliness. and the strength which fought you out of this misery!
glad that you made it!!Replies
LOL-yes trust me to make a cute skull. ;-) In truth, I believe there is no dark without light. At least not to our human perception. To me darkness is more sadness than bitchiness, but if one thinks of light and dark as opposites, then the opposite of who I am is bitchy. There is logic in there somewhere. ;-)Delete
What always strikes me about the sad self portrait, is that it was created five years before I realised the reality of my situation. That woman is sad and lonely and doesn't even know why.
you came a long way! "better late then never" we say here. very interesting what our art/creative outlet says about us - if we listen......Delete
I really like your self portrait, and the eyes painting, they are powerful. I don't think that exploring darker emotions or themes has to mean a lack of colour; Picasso's Weeping Woman is a painting of great sadness, pain and anguish, using bright colours. Is having a dark side the same as releasing your inner bitch? No, surely not; one can have strong opinions and emotions and recognise our negative traits without imposing them on others. Or so I like to think (as I swallow down my bile and irritation and impatience at the stupidity of half the world...!) I think you are much, much nicer than me, Shawna! xxxxReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks, Curtise. I think what I may have meant-and of course I often don't really know what I mean or what the hell I am blethering on about- is that the colours that are so me are part of what shapes who I am and my ability to fight my way out of darkness. I do like your point about the Weeping Woman and I will love you forever for putting me and Picasso in the same paragraph!Delete
I do indeed have strong opinions and emotions just like most people, though I don't consider that dark. In fact, if I have not offended someone yet with something I've said on my blog I would be really surprised. That's just how it goes. But if I have I will feel awful and saying 'that's just how it goes' is my way of consoling myself. I don't think I am nicer than you. I see a great deal of kindness in you. I read your comments on other blogs. I suspect that anyone who messed with someone you care about would be in for a treat. ;-)
Have you tried being hungry? I'm always a total ass when I'm hungry :DReplyDelete
Hahaha, the last drawing- awesome psychedelic art right there!!! *_*Replies
Hah now that made me laugh! I am indeed very grumpy when hungry. The sad thing is, I don't even know how to be a bitch when grumpy. ;-)Delete
Thank you for the compliment on those weird eyeballs! I'm relieved to know they aren't giving anyone nightmares.
I really like all of them! I think the skull one is just awesome, because the first thing I noticed was the skull, but, it took a minute to realize how out of place it was. Very captivating!ReplyDeleteReplies
LOL-it's a baby skull so that is either really cute or really creepy. Baby skull thanks you for the vote of appreciation!Delete
Oh Shawna, your art is beautiful. The scull is not scary at all, but maybe it doesn't need to be - at the end, it wasn't even YOUR idea to draw it. The eyes on the third picture are very striking. I can see why you are painting this one. But the self-portrait is really powerful. How is it possible that you haven't seen what made you that lonely for five more years? Although, very often it's just that we do not want to see, especially us, kind and nice bunch. I did something similar in my first marriage - I would take self-portraits with my camera and draw self-portraits to really look into myself. It is still very sad to look at those (and I don't). But when we really want to grow, we eventually shake it off and just move on... realizing that there is no anyone's fault... I am in a difficult emotional situation now, but I'm deciding to let it go and move on. There is no point in being bitchy. Though, I suspect that most of the art (including writing) is about working through our own inner issues. (And that is why I am not interested in reading these days at all.) But we are free to create such a therapeutic art for ourselves and just not show it to anyone. I want to create art which uplifts and gives people peace, joy and light. Including ME. Because that is what I am looking fir in books and everything else. And there is nothing false about it. I think very often it is not what happens is a problem, but the way we choose to look at it. You are a very talented person. I think it's OK to be grumpy and angry sometimes. But there is always light, and it is our choice to see it or not. I think you choose to see it. I don't know you very well, of course, but what I sense is that you are a very accepting person, and ultimately you too want that everything everywhere was ok for everyone. It's not even optimism, it's much deeper and more real than it.ReplyDeleteReplies
You are the sweetest! I think you bring joy and light just by being yourself. I hope the difficult emotional time is soon over and that your art can help to sustain you. I'm sending you big hugses!Delete
Big hugses are always much appreciated! :)Delete
And now I understand where Russian supermodels and secret princesses came from, yes? :) I loved that, by the way. :)
The last painting I title "looking into infinity". The eyes sear my soul! Not a comfortable painting to hang on the wall, but maybe a cathartic one :-)ReplyDeleteReplies
Thank you for naming my painting. I am quite neglectful about giving them titles. It is still sitting on my easel and seems sort of neutralised there. Perhaps because on the easel I am in control of it. I did consider hanging it in the foyer to scare away unwanted guests. ;-)Delete
I love visitors and I love comments. I will try my best to respond to everyone! Thanks for stopping by.
