Eat Salmon to Sleep Better
Dear Olympic Athletes:
If you're angling to win a medal in the 2010 Olympic Winter Games — which are starting with or without snow in Vancouver/Whistler British Columbia in just 10 short days (gasp) — listen up for some homespun advice: Eat salmon the night before your competition to get a better night's sleep.
The meal you choose the night before your event(s) could make the difference between hearing your national anthem or someone else's. After all of your months and years of intense training, getting a good night's sleep and fueling your body with optimum food, will give you a winning advantage. I suggest eating wild salmon while you're here in BC.
Why Salmon?
- Wild salmon is a golden source of omega-3 fatty acids which help reduce pain and inflammation, improve memory and focus and contribute to cardiovascular health — all vital priorities for high-caliber athletes;
- DHA, a healthy fat in salmon, may fast-track levels of melatonin, a key sleep-regulating hormone;
- Salmon contains magnesium which helps us sleep. Low magnesium, on the other hand, is associated with things like muscle-cramping, anxiety and fatigue;
- Wild salmon is also fresh and local in these parts — or as they say, well-within our 100-Mile diet; and
- Salmon's tenacious spirit has "Olympics" written all over it.
Getting a good night's sleep is crucial to your success. Shoot for at least seven hours of solid sleep every night. Remember to give yourself enough days to get over your jet lag and to adjust to Vancouver time. Also, keep your body temperature on the cool side while you're sleeping and keep your room dark — thank goodness these are the winter games!
If you don't sleep well, the resulting fatigue can affect your judgment and increase your risk for accidents. Does anyone out there remember the vintage "agony of defeat" ad for ABC's, the Wide World of Sports? I think I've made my point.
Sushi anyone?

I just found it out that it is entirely true. I ate quite lots of salmon last nite and as the result I slept like a sleepy beauty and feel so fresh when I woke up this morning. Yes, I love salmon very much !
Maria said,
Thanks Eva. I'm so glad to hear your feedback. Cheers! Maria
Zach Smith said,
Omega-3 fatty acids is a hormone regulator–an important nutrient in inducing sleep. You can also get omega-3 fatty acids from other fishes such as tuna and mackerel but make sure they do not contain mercury.
In addition to getting the right nutrition, using the appropriate mattress can help sleep better. Most of us fail to have a good quality of sleep because we are not using a mattress our body can take to. When you are buying a new mattress, make sure you know what your sleep preferences are so you can find the perfect match.

Alaa said,
Last night I had my first continuous 7 hours sleep since I can't even remember when. I had 200 grams of salmon for dinner and when I googled that I found your article.
Conclusion; Salmon does improve sleep that's 100% true!
Maria said,
That's wonderful, Alaa! If you don't have access to salmon, try supplementing with Omega 3 Fatty Acids as well. Maria

Despite being home to some of the world's smallest living spaces, shopping is still the local and expat Hongkonger's favorite pastime.
Unfortunately, according to real estate broker Colliers, approximately 820,000 Hong Kong households do not have access to a storage room. This bizarre mismatch of accumulating things without the space may be a problem for the consumer, but spells opportunity for the many self-storage startups that are cropping up.
Among them is Boxful, who has just raised a seed round of US $1.5 million from a group of investors in Greater China for their on-demand storage service. The idea is simple: The customer pays HK $49 a month for one storage box, then Boxful provides a free door-to-door pickup service. Each box can fit about 20 pairs of shoes, so if you have larger items such as luggage, golf clubs and sports equipment – Boxful can also accommodate. Of course, all of this can be done via your mobile device whether it's arranging a pick-up or visual cataloging.
With other valet storage startups such as 'Vault Dragon' and 'StuffGenie' also in operation, Boxful sets itself apart from the rest by being equipped to handle the local market. "We are started by Hong Kong people with a service catered to Hong Kong customers – operating a Hong Kong-based logistics network requires a Cantonese team and ours is completely bilingual and will service both expat and local customers," said Wu. "The founders also have significant tech experience, having started another eCommerce company in Mainland China." Boxful's co-founder Norman Cheung is no strange to the tech space, as he is also running fashion dropship site Zooq which has teams in Hong Kong, Shanghai and London.
Having officially launched during the first week of January, Boxful has already been gaining quite a bit of traction and is already attracting more capital – fresh out of raising a seed round. "Due to strong interest, we're already in process of raising a Series A round. We have quite a few exciting initiatives in the pipeline which will require significant funding in the coming months," said Cheung.
In the past year alone, valet or self-storage startups have sprung up in urban jungles such as Hong Kong, New York and San Francisco – all of them offering up a similar service. Until the space gets properly saturated, it'll be a race to acquire users and roll out new and improved services. Building up a strong brand may be the main way for these startups to stand out from their competitors and that, will require a healthy dose of capital.

The Gallery: David Demers
Any AT readers in Shanghai today? I've been keeping an eye on the work of David Demers and he's just assembled a stirring collection of photographs and watercolors. Where's this New Yorker showing them first? The AroundSpace Gallery (located in a former opium dealer's villa) in Shanghai. I can't get there... but we can give you spin around the show.
The watercolors evoke light behind cloudy skies (more in slide show).
At first the photographs appear to be landscapes, but upon closer inspection, each is a meticulous record of the way light moves through particular materials and surfaces.
All interested in light - one set captures it through a mechanical process.. the other by hand, flowing paint, and intuition.
Demers is showing alongside Stephan Stiehler from Germany, and contemporary Chinese artist, Chen Qiang, who makes fantastic, intricate dot paintings (below, and one more in slide show).
The Origin of Abstraction opens Saturday, October 18 at Aroundspace Gallery, 696 Weihai Road in Shanghai.
Photos are in editions of 10, are face-mounted on plexi and will be available through the artist. Inquiries about the watercolors? Contact the AroundSpace Gallery, or hope few make it home to the US.
Know any artists whose work would make a home a lovelier place? Send ideas to The Gallery. Thanks!

It's Official – Table Mountain is One of the New Seven Wonders of Nature
Table Mountain's status as one of the New Seven Wonders of Nature has become official after an international audit confirmed the result of a global voting process.
The New7Wonders Foundation based in Switzerland has confirmed that Table Mountain's "provisional" status after international voting closed on 11 November 2011 has been changed to "official". The results followed three years of intense campaigning in a contest that drew more than 100 million votes from 220 countries worldwide.

With Psy currently dominating the music charts all over the world and opening the way for Kpop, we take a look at one of the reasons as to why Kpop is so popular; music shows. The pop music scene in Korea is vastly different from the UK pop music scene. One of the main reasons for this is because of exposure. In South Korea, there are 3 music shows each week and numerous variety shows featuring our favourite idols. Here in the UK, we lost Top of the Pops a good few years ago and if I wanted to see The Wanted perform one of their latest track, I have no idea where to look; the exposure we have to musicians in the UK is limited. One of the main reasons why One Direction spiraled into such a MASSIVE success is because X Factor gave them weekly exposure, giving them a chance to steal the hearts of fangirls each week.
In South Korea there are 3 big music shows each week, and Korean Class MASSIVE were lucky enough to be given the chance to see how an episode of KBS's 'Music Bank' is created. Here we were able to witness all the hard work that goes into bringing your bias to your screens each week. The production team starts insanely early in the morning, and by the time we rocked up at 1pm to watch FT Island film their pre-recording, it looked like the stag crew had been preparing for hours. We saw podiums already on stage with hanging lit up boxes before FT Island came on stage, along with a whole host of different lighting and effects rigged up. Very high production values for just one stage! We were also very shocked to only see one stage in total, as when watching Music bank, we get the illusion of multiple stages that it cuts back and forth to. We had been picturing idols just waiting on the other stage as the previous performance comes to an end. But in reality there is only one stage and 'Music Bank' is actually made up of a mixture of live performances and pre-recordings.
As we watched FT Island, and tried to remain calm and professional, it was really fascinating to see all the different cameras at work. There were two cameras on large cranes there needed a guy to manoeuvre the crane whilst another guy used a remote control to control the movement of the actual camera. There was some epic team work happening. Then there was a camera on a track that spanned the length of the stage, constantly whizzing left and right along with the three main cameras facing the front of the stage. We were fortunate enough to be able to watch all the pre-recordings which included FT Island, T-ara, Kara, Secret another personal favourite, B.A.P! And during the Kara performance we saw one very special camera in action, we like to call it the action man steadycam as a cameraman strapped in a steady cam jumped into the performance. It was rather comical to see and we finally know how all those really close up happens!
As we watched the pre-recordings, we discovered that the editing of performances is done as they are being filmed and the performance is feed onto the in-studio TVs as it all happens. It's all just absolutely intense! The editing of the whole entire show is done from the auditorium floor which is structured like a cinema and rather than recording a few performances and then editing them together, for efficiency and speed reasons, the performances are edited as they are filmed the footage. If there is anything wrong, the group would simply perform again. We saw FT Island perform only twice and due to a few camera issues, T-ara had to stop and start again a few times but all was done by only the 3rd take! T-ara were extremely professional during their recordings as they went to watch the playback of their performances and actively worked with the production crew to make sure they get a perfect take.
These pre-recordings are recorded in front of the idols' specific fan clubs which meant a very intimate performance. The specific fan clubs are lead in for their bias' performance and let out again in the most orderly fashion we have ever witnessed at any Kpop event. Each fan group will only watch their bias' performance, meaning that even though the auditorium was only 1/3 filled, the screams were still thunderous as everyone was a fan. Even though B.A.P were still considered as rookies and not that well known in Korea, they had the largest fan base which had quite a few foreign fans present. The screams were beyond deafening. Groups such as B.A.P, FT Island and Secret would also interact with their fans in between performances, which was so endearing to witness, and oh how we wish we studied harder at Korean. The fan chants were amazing, and you can really see how appreciated the fan's effort and supports are by the idols. We even got a Chuseok bow from B.A.P! We also sat in on a few pre-recordings for rookie bands, such as Rania, and because they didn't seem to have an official fan club, they performed to an empty auditorium, which was really heart breaking, but in the end we applauded and gave them a thumbs up for their ever enthusiastic performance.
The 'Music Bank' production team are slick and very professional, and a lot of man power and hard work is put into each show. It literally takes up the whole day. The pre-recordings start early on in the day and in between each stage the production crew quickly jumps on stage to start dismantling the props, as props for the next performance are rolled in. The set changes are super fast, you don't even notice the stages being completely transformed, especially when it comes to confetti – there was an instance where B.A.P had to re-do the performance after the confetti canons were set of. It literally took them 1 minute and the stage was as new again; these men were the Dyson of the production crew world. And before we realised, that was the end of pre-recordings, and the camera rehearsals for the live shows started.
Each performer got one take, and it was both their dress rehearsal and the camera rehearsals. These rehearsals happen right to the last minute before the show is broadcasted. And during the run through, editors on the auditorium floor are stitching up all the pre-recordings ready for the live broadcast. Everything happens so quick! As the show's audience starts to come into the auditorium, many bands are still going through their camera rehearsals and they remain totally professional and completely non distracted as they only get this one rehearsal, so the pressure is well and truly on; especially for the rookies.
Time for the show, as mentioned previously, the actual live show is made up of live performances and pre-recordings. Audiences that attend the actual live show still get to see their idols live even if they are pre-recorded as those idols will still return to the stage and perform a little, or in FT island's case, come back to mess around on stage and interact with audiences. It's actually really fun to see the more relaxed sides of idols as there isn't the pressure of going LIVE, but they still perform with great enthusiasm, especially the rookies. However, they never get to finish as they are normally waved off quickly to prepare the stage for the next live performance.
We had so much fun at the KBS studios, we really want to thank the PD for allowing us to sit in. We never knew there were so many performances in one music show and 'Music Bank' is one of the longest music shows that run for over 100 minutes! As overseas Kpop fans, we only get to see whoever the internet Gods deem worthy to be uploaded, so to be able to see so many new bands and discover a few new favourites was refreshing and fun! The 'Music Bank' production team deserves a round of applause after every show for the amount of effort and team work they put in. People really take them for granted when they work so hard to bring you your idols week after week. The slickness and professionalism of each member, the immense amount of team work, the way everyone just knew what they were doing is astonishing. It is so well managed and produced! We also shouldn't over look the amount of planning and details put into the shows as each stage had new and different graphics, and someone also pointed out how the lightening was always done to compliment the performer's outfits. The amount of man power put into each of these 3 minute sets surpasses anything we have ever seen back in the day of TOTP. We were lucky to get a fancier stool or maybe a Christmas tree prop in December. But 'Music Bank' saw technicians on stage dismantling the FT Island light boxes to make space for T-ara's amazing bouncy balls, and confetti canons were constantly being reloaded. So next time you watch a music show, take a moment to thank the amazing production teams that work behind the scenes, who work hard all day so you can watch another amazing performance from your favourite groups.

He vowed to put on a show beforehand.
Flint's hard-hitting, knockout artist didn't want to leave the hometown fans disappointed in the main event of the "Fights & Fireworks" showdown in Atwood Stadium late Saturday night.
And he didn't.
Dirrell scored a fifth round knockout over Craig — a 2000 Olympian — with a gut check at the 1:50 mark.
"It was a one-two, then I took him to the body and that's all she wrote," said Dirrell. "It feels good to finally get it over with."
Dirrell (22-0, 19 KO's) picked up the vacant UBO super middleweight title with the win. The energy stemming from the admirers fueled the newly crowned champion.
In the end this support was a gift but it could have potentially been a curse.
"We worked on something in the gym and that's what we got to do instead of feeding into the crowd," said Dirrell. "That's what I got to do from now on...pay attention to the game plan."
An estimated count of over 4,000 attendees packed the site to cheer on Dirrell.
He was escorted to the ring by local up-and-coming rapper Jon Connor who performed a special song for the fighter. Fans stood on their feet to cheer him on for most of the bout.
"I know Flint is good supporters and it was more people than I thought but that's good so I'm happy," said Dirrell.
Dirrell dominated the bout from the opening bell.
In the first round, Dirrell attacked with sharp combinations and right-hand leads to his opponent's head. He went to the body of Craig in the second round and finished with a big flurry.
Craig often backed Dirrell into the corner to start the third round.
Dirrell countered with uppercuts to keep Craig at bay.
Near the end of the round, Craig appeared to get hit with a low blow and laid out on the canvas longer than three minutes as if he was in pain. The crowd booed Craig and Dirrell completed three pushups to taunt him.
Dirrell nailed Craig with a straight shot to start the fourth round. He also did an impression of fomer light heayweight champion Roy Jones Jr. by putting his hands behind his back trying to get his opponent to throw more punches.
A cut formed over Dirrell's left eye as a result from a forearm by Craig which he said didn't frustrate him.
The fifth round opened with a 10 punch combo from Dirrell before he ended the battle with the body shot.
would rate my performance an A not an A-plus," Dirrell said. "I did
good and I didn't really get hit that much. If it was, it was a pitty
pat and I still did my thing in there."
Team Dirrell was pleased with the overall turnout.
Their event marked the first official scrap in Atwood in 64 years.
The last fight took place Aug. 22, 1947, when boxing legend Willie Pep retained his featherweight title in front of 10,385 fans in the city's only world championship match.
Pep knocked out hometown hero Jock Leslie 45 seconds into the 12th round of a bout that was scheduled for 15 rounds.
"They thought we wasn't going to be able to pull it off but we pulled it off and we did the best we could so we can come back and do this in the future which I'm looking forward to doing," Dirrell's uncle and trainer, Leon Lawson Jr said.
"This is what the fans want to see, this is what Flint wants to see and it's not enough of this," Dirrell's older brother and 2004 Olympic broze medalist, Andre said. "We just want positive energy and it's a lot of hiddent talent out here but we got to bring it out and it's going to come out with events like this."
Dirrell will fight Alejandro Berrio on July 22 in Las Vegas on ESPN.

Test machines
Test ancillaries
Pneumatach flow headsThese electronic transducers have been developed for measuring air flow but may be calibrated for use on other gases. The principle of operation is based on passing the gas through a linear air resistance and measuring the resultant differential pressure across the resistance.
Output is nominally plus/minus 1 volt for plus/minus full scale of the flow head. By varying the mechanical dimensions of the flow head the full scale of the instrument has been manufactured to be as low as 5 litres/minute and as high as 2000 litres/minute. Larger flow heads are feasible. Full scale pressure drop is nominally 6mb.
The photograph above shows a flow head used in conjunction with a data logger for recording human breath profiles. This configuration can be used as a peak flow meter for patient analysis in medical applications. It has a full scale of 700 litres/minute. The breathing profiles can be recreated on Si-Plan's breathing simulator.
The illustration above shows a flow head used in a process control application and has a full scale of 100 litres/minute. The flow heads may be calibrated on air, carbon dioxide, nitrogen etc. and can be made for specific applications from stainless steel or plastic as applicable and to customer-specified full scale and pressure ratings.

Current monetary policy framework is sound, Treasury chief says
BUSINESSDESK: The government's chief economic adviser, Treasury Secretary Gabriel Makhlouf, has waded into the debate on monetary policy and its contribution to the export-sapping strength of the New Zealand dollar, saying the current framework is "sound".
In a speech to a function hosted by business lobby group the New Zealand Initiative last night, Mr Makhlouf said strong prices for export commodities were part of the reason for a kiwi dollar cross-rate with the US dollar that has remained above 80 US cents for more than year.
"But taking a longer perspective, it seems clear that there is a more persistent relationship between the long-term average level of the exchange rate, New Zealand's high average real interest rates (relative to those of our trading partners) and the persistent gap between domestic investment and savings rates, as reflected in New Zealand's persistent current account deficits."
Those high real interest rates were "not due to monetary policy".
"Rather, it seems that these outcomes arise largely out of our domestic savings and investment choices, which in turn are influenced by – among other things – domestic policy settings. I am clear that the current monetary policy framework is sound.
"Instead, where we need to look is at underlying drivers of our economic performance" and how they in turn drive the exchange rate.
Surge in commentary
Mr Makhlouf's comments to the organisation that has replaced the New Zealand Business Roundtable at the economically "dry" end of the public policy spectrum follows a surge in commentary on whether the Reserve Bank's inflation-targeting regime is appropriate when major economies are printing money and intervening in current markets to try and kick-start economic growth.
JBWere's New Zealand strategist, Bernard Doyle, called for action to cap the value of the kiwi, while Labour Party finance spokesman David Parker says exporters are suffering as major trading partners engage in "competitive devaluation" while the RBNZ continues to run an orthodox monetary policy approach.
A New Zealand First private members' bill seeking to widen the RBNZ's mandate failed to gain parliamentary support this week.
The debate coincides with the handover at the end of September by the RBNZ governor of the last decade, Alan Bollard, to his replacement, expatriate former World Bank managing director Graeme Wheeler.
Mr Makhlouf urged businesspeople to do their share to promote debate about the need for deep, ongoing economic reform to keep New Zealand globally competitive, while criticising the country's tepid welcome for foreign investors.
"New Zealand is highly dependent on foreign capital to fund our shortfall in national savings," he said. "Yet for foreigners deciding whether to invest in our country, too much of what they see and hear from New Zealand risks putting them off."
Mr Makhlouf also strongly backed proposed changes to the Resource Management Act, citing the four years and $2.5 million spent by Port of Tauranga to gain approval to dredge new channels to cope with the growing size of international container ships as an example of the need for reform.

What we do
The main scope of the IFG Earthquake Geology and Seismic Hazards (IFG EGSHaz) is to increase the understanding of past earthquakes and future seismic risks by investigating the Quaternary geology of seismically active areas. This includes multiple disciplines that contribute to understanding Quaternary earthquake activity, such as palaeoseismology, active tectonics and neotectonic studies, tectonic geomorphology, archaeoseismology, and seismology. IFG EGSHaz promotes interdisciplinary approaches and multi-proxy studies to comprehensively understand the effects that seismic events have on society and on the environment and to improve seismic hazard prediction. This is done in part by co-operation with other IFGs, especially those that work on Quaternary dating methods, Quaternary stratigraphy and soil science, and liaisons with a broader spectrum of Quaternary researchers.
IFG EGSHaz activities are aimed to promote research, education and outreach on the topic of earthquake geology and hazards. One of the IFG's principal aims for the next inter congress period is to establish a worldwide and homogenous database on historical surface ruptures (primary and secondary). This database will become a principal publically available tool for seismic hazard assessment. The other main focus for the IFG during this inter congress period is to develop methods to improve probabilistic approaches to seismic hazard (PSHA) by incorporating active fault data (e.g., slip rates, return periods). The development and evolution of the Environmental Seismic Intensity- ESI 2007 scale helps to assess seismic hazards based on the quantification of earthquake environmental effects.
The main activity of the IFG in 2017 will be the 8th PATA Days meeting in New Zealand in November 2017 (link). The PATA Days conference series is the world's only regular event focused on earthquake geology and palaeoseismology. It is the main scientific discussion forum for the latest developments in these fields and the flagship event of the IFG.For the first time, the PATA Days will be held in Oceania, expanding the outreach to scientists previously not involved with INQUA activities (especially those from New Zealand and Australia). The conference will include both scientific sessions and field trips, and include participants from industry and civil protection agencies. It will provide great opportunities for increasing membership in the IFG, for increasing networking and promoting collaborations between international research groups, and for observing first-hand the environmental effects a strong earthquake can produce (the 2016 earthquake). PATA Days meeting proceedings are peer-reviewed and published in a proceedings volume. These papers are widely cited in peer-reviewed international journals and industry seismic hazard reports and they reflect the IFG's excellent international reputation. ECRs and DCRs particularly profit from this procedure and being involved as author and reviewer in the peer review process. In addition, the field trip guides will be made available online for the purpose of scientific outreach and ECR training.

Sorry to anyone who's been missing Teleniel or Artemis (or Tomnan & Kaaran) and that I haven't been able to schedule CTS/Crafting/Archery stuff recently. I have been applying for jobs and have (after what feels like too long) just changed careers. I have been getting through at least the first round of training at my new job and should be settling to a more stable schedule soon. I keep myself available on Discord and you can always reach out to me by PM as I settle into the new routine and hopefully in the next few weeks I should be getting myself back to a regularly online schedule to find me just about and around and not only by request.
Game on and I look forward to being a part of Nob's new sunday group (with a new mage for me), scheduling some Rockfall companion training and Hornbow Archery seminar's!

Check it out
It is actually a very good bare bones kit. THe memory model usually goes for 20 dollars more [figure corrected]. And you have one stick of 1 gigabyte memory, which provides you better upgrading opportunities. Usually for now, 1gigabyte is enough, but if you are using Vista then you will need more than 2 gigabytes. Having to only buy one stick of 1gig or 1gig+ of extra RAM makes upgrade simpler.
You also get a 450 Watt power supply, which is enough to power almost anything you would need and extra accessories as well. The normal power supply is a 300 Watt one.
At 300 dollars after rebate, this is an excellent deal. The motherboard has 8 USB connections and is based upon the nVidia architecture. The processor is Intel Dual Core, the newest CPU architecture. First it was hyperthread, now it is Dual Core.
The new motherboards operate on DDR2 memory, which is actually cheaper than DDR1 memory.
While you could save 10 to 20 dollars from buying the same motherboard bundled with the same processor from tigerdirect, you would have to install it yourself.

Six new retailers secured at Yate Shopping Centre in Bristol
16 August 2017
Savills, on behalf of Ellandi and the Trustees of the Yate Shopping Centre Unit Trust, has let space to six retailers including Papa Johns, Yours Clothing and The Entertainer at Yate Shopping Centre in Bristol.
Papa John's has agreed a new 15 year lease on 1,260 sq ft (117 sq m). Loungers, the café chain, has also agreed a 15 year lease, taking 3,500 sq ft (325 sq m) and The Entertainer has agreed a new lease on 4,000 sq ft (371 sq m) of space. These three retailers will occupy the newly refurbished unit at 32-36 West Walk opposite the town's library and leisure centre. Karizma, a hairdresser and barber store, and Yours Clothing have each agreed a five year lease on 1,099 sq ft (102 sq m) and 3,726 sq ft (346 sq m) respectively. Cards N Wrap, the gift retailer, has signed a three year lease at 31 North Walk.
Yate Shopping Centre is located 12 miles to the north east of Bristol and provides over 550,000 sq ft (51,097 sq m) of retail space. The centre forms the entire retail destination of Yate with occupiers including Tesco, Boots, Marks and Spencer, Superdrug, Next and New Look.
Alex Kalebic, associate director in the retail team at Savills Bristol, comments: "We are delighted to have secured these new retailers for the town, further enhancing Yate Shopping Centre's reputation as a retail destination. The centre is a large, well-let scheme that benefits from a strong catchment population and annual footfall in the centre standing at around 12 million people. We are currently in discussion with a number of other retailers looking to take space in the centre."

300 people died in the flooding.
"The Chennai disaster is being called a 'perfect storm,' a shining example of what can happen when climate change meets poor urban planning."
- Sreedhar Potarazu, CNN.
As the city of Chennai begins the process of drying out and cleaning up, students and teachers at the Omega School have been doing the same.
Their library that housed more than 10,000 books, now has only 20. Many of the books were personally donated by the school's founder Shri P. Rajagopalachari.
Shri P. Rajagopalachari believed that knowledge must be accompanied by the wisdom to use that knowledge in the right way.
The Omega School was established for the purpose of teaching children, not only what they need to succeed in the real world by way of practical skills, but also to teach them the values that they need to cherish and uphold all their lives.
Learn more about the flood recovery at Omega here - https://www.facebook.com/omegaintlschool/
We are asking for any small amount that you can give - $5, $10, $20 toward the purchase of new books for the Omega School Library.
Global Education Motivators (GEM) has worked closely with the Omega School for 8 years, first on the United Nations Student Conference on Human Rights and then moving toward year-long collaborations with the students and teachers.
The staff of the Omega School is extremely dedicated to the education of their students, often staying late into the night to be connected for our international videoconference programs.
Below is a picture of the conference room at the Omega School. The left side of the picture shows the conference room in use during the 2015 UN Student Leadership Conference on Development. On the right side, you can see the room post-flood.
Your support of this wonderful school will be greatly appreciated by the students and faculty, all of whom have already lost so much.
You can make a difference by donating to the Library Fund for the Omega School.

CHRIS DUDLEY – Executive Coach and Business Mentor
When Chris Dudley launched his new coaching and training business in Leeds, he hired Tarling Design for help with a graphic design business package for his startup. This included brand strategy and logo design, stationery design, website design and advert design.
CHRIS DUDLEY – Executive Coach and Business Mentor
I was launching my coaching and training business and hired Rhian to create a brand identity for the business. On our initial call Rhian listened to exactly who I was, what my business stood for and the market I was entering. I followed up our call by sending Rhian a mood board on the type of brand identities I liked. Using the information from our call, my mood board and regular communication Rhian was able to create a brand which was above and beyond my expectations.
Following Rhian's success in creating my brand identity I chose to employ her to complete my website design. Rhian once again took time to understand my needs and offered recommendations and creative advice on what could be achieved within my budget. Once again Rhian managed to exceed my expectations by creating a website I would not have anticipated I could obtain within the budget I had set myself.
Rhian remains in contact throughout the design process, acts as a business partner with the creative advice she offers and delivers within agreed timescales and budget.
Through working with Rhian I have found a contractor that I am confident I will continue to work with in the future, that is the true measure of delivering a successful business result for a client. I would not hesitate to recommend Rhian to any business seeking high quality graphic and web design work completed by someone who is a pleasure to work with.

Wigan Athletic are delighted to announce a brand new commercial partnership with 3P Logistics, which will see the 3PL become the club's first ever shorts sponsor for the 2015-16 season.
3P Logistics branding will feature on Latics' shorts for the first team and Development Squad throughout the forthcoming season and the partnership is evidence of the support local businesses are continuing to pledge to the club in the build up to the Sky Bet League One campaign.
Managing Director at 3P Logistics, Ian Walker, said:
"As an avid Latics fan for over 40 years, and a local business owner, it`s a real thrill to now be supporting the club both on and off the field. Wigan Athletic and 3P Logistics have represented a large part of everyday life for my family over many years and we are immensely proud to officially partner with our hometown team.
"We are delighted the team will be wearing the 3PL logo this coming season. A commercial association with Wigan Athletic will also play an important role in further raising the profile of our industry leading warehousing & logistics services to a local, national and international audience."

TALLAHASSEE — In a major setback for sexual harassment victims, a deeply divided appeal court ruled Wednesday that employees who are pinched, kissed, grabbed, fondled or otherwise ``assaulted`` by their bosses may not sue their companies for damages.
Instead, the 1st District Court of Appeal decided in a pair of 6-5 rulings, such victims must make their claims under Florida`s reformed Workers Compensation Act, which bars negligence suits for most on-the-job injuries.
The effect of the decisions is to preclude sexual harassment victims from collecting large jury awards for damages from their employers, although they could still sue their bosses as individuals.
Workers comp is limited to paying lost wages and medical expenses and the victims must prove that their injuries, physicial or mental, left them unable to work, at least temporarily.
The issue was considered on a rehearing petition by the entire court, which overturned a 1983 decision by one of its component three-judge panels. In that earlier ruling, the smaller panel had decided sexual harassment victims could mount a negligence case against their employers.
``The Workers` Compensation Act affords the exclusive remedy for recovery of damages arising from compensable, or potentially compensable injuries falling within its purview,`` the unsigned majority opinion said in the key case. The majority concluded that sexually-motivated ``assaults`` are among the injuries covered by the act.
The dissenting judges, in a series of opinions, generally argued that the Legislature did not intend for such acts as fondling, kissing, grabbing and hugging to be covered by workers` comp.
The twin rulings came on a suit filed by an Okaloosa County woman and her husband and a pair of consolidated suits filed by two female employees of a Jacksonville-area convenience store chain.

Newly-installed Derby County captain Robbie Savage has urged disgruntled supporters to aim their criticism at him and not the rest of his team-mates.
Savage has made three appearances for the Rams following his arrival from Blackburn Rovers earlier this month and on each occasion his new club has been soundly beaten.
Derby are currently bottom of the Premier League table and on course for an immediate return to the Championship which has led to disquiet among sections of the Pride Park faithful.
But rather than criticise the entire team, Savage wants unhappy fans to vent their frustration in his direction.
"The first thing to say is this is not a go at the fans at all - my reception here was better than what I ever expected and I went home and told my wife it was the best reception I have ever had at a club," he told the club's official website.
"But if they are to boo anyone, and I mean this, as captain I would rather they turned their attentions on me and booed me.
"I am experienced enough and if they want to boo anyone then boo me because I can handle it - don't boo the lads who are relatively inexperienced.
"Vent your anger at the captain, because I am prepared to take that responsibility on my shoulders, not the younger guys in the team who are relatively inexperienced at this level."

"Scars are scars; they don't just vanish.": The Untold Read-Along Part 8
Welcome to The Untold Tale read-along! The Untold Tale by J.M. Frey is the first book in the Accidental Turn series, the second book of which, The Forgotten Tale, will be released on December 6th. To prep for book two, we're sharing a ten-part series that will be part recap, part review, and part discussion of the book that has been called the "most important work of fantasy written in 2015."
If you want to read along and avoid the SPOILERS that will follow, you can pick up your copy of The Untold Tale from major online retailers.
About the book
Forsyth Turn is not a hero. Lordling of Turn Hall and Lysse Chipping, yes. Spymaster for the king, certainly. But hero? That's his older brother's job, and Kintyre Turn is nothing if not legendary. However, when a raid on the kingdom's worst criminal results in the rescue of a bafflingly blunt woman, oddly named and even more oddly mannered, Forsyth finds his quaint, sedentary life is turned on its head.
Dragged reluctantly into a quest he never expected, and fighting villains that even his brother has never managed to best, Forsyth is forced to confront his own self-shame and the demons that come with always being second-best. And, more than that, when he finally realizes where Lucy came from and why she's here, he'll be forced to question not only his place in the world, but the very meaning of his own existence.
Smartly crafted, The Untold Tale gives agency to the unlikeliest of heroes: the silenced, the marginalized, and the overlooked. It asks what it really means to be a fan when the worlds you love don't resemble the world you live in, celebrates the power of the written word, challenges tropes, and shows us what happens when someone stands up and refuses to remain a secondary character in their own life.
Part One: "I assume the body is a corpse." Chapters 1 and 2
Part Two: "Information, at last!" Chapters 3, 4, and 5
Part Three: "Your brother is a slimeball." Chapters 6 and 7
Part Four: "It's not cheating to know your enemy." Chapters 8, 9, and 10
Part Five: "I'm allowed to want it." Chapters 11 and 12
Part Six: "I wasn't any help." Chapters 13 and 14
Part Seven: "That's the magic of being a fan." Chapters 15 and 16
Part 8 – Chapters 17 & 18
In the aftermath of the showdown with Bootknife, traumas come to light not just for the newly released Pip, but for Forsyth as well, as he reveals to Kintyre the abuse he and their mother suffered at the hands of their father during the hero's absence. Jealousy swells in Forsyth at his brother's open affection with Bevel.
Pip refuses to share details of her capture and enchantment, so Forsyth secretly scrys her first moments in his world. The heroic but badly bruised band moves on from the graveyard and into the forest, where they end up on a side quest that challenges the narrative of one of Kintyre's most famous victories.
Forsyth attempts to push his luck with a still-recovering Pip, and fails. Majorly.
There's a lot of material to work with in these two chapters, and for me it comes down to two main ideas: first, that it's difficult to conceptualize someone else's trauma no matter what one's own might be, and second, the expectation that love is more important than recovery.
Pip shuts Forsyth out in order to cope with what was done to her, a strategy I know well. He knows and understands that she was enchanted by the evil Viceroy before she was "rescued" by the Shadow Hand's men, and that the Viceroy had been controlling her more and more completely over their whole acquaintance. Despite this knowledge, Forsyth begs Pip to tell him the "things [the Viceroy] said. That he taunted [her] with." (pg 436) When she refuses, saying he doesn't have to know everything about her, he implores her not to keep secrets about this, her trauma.
It's really astounding, given that not much later, Forsyth is telling Kintyre, apparently for the first time, that their father physically abused him and their mother.
Hypocrisy aside, Forsyth's narration in these chapters show him to be really, truly bad at imagining that Pip's road to recovery looks different than his. He reminds himself to give her space (and resents advice to that effect from Kintyre and Bevel), but then spends twice as much time being bitter and upset at what he's lost, and still manages to confront her with his needs several times–and, in a pivotal moment, barrel over her explicit request in order to satisfy his morbid curiosity about her imprisonment.
Forsyth's childhood is long over, so the only view of his experience we have is the knowledge that his resentment of Kintyre is driven in large part by Kintyre's failure to protect him from their father. His trauma is shared in the narrative only, it seems, as one of two options for Proper Manly Backstory, and does not come up again in this section. It deflects for a moment from Pip's pain, but in the end, it further complicates our view of his behavior.
What we see in Forsyth through these chapters is a person who is perhaps too well-shielded from their own painful memories to accommodate the freshness of Pip's–chapter 17 is literally the night of her liberation–and lend a truly unbiased ear to her in their wake. He is consistently more interested in his own current pain at her loss than he is in really conceptualizing why she has pulled away. It's that common situation where he knows, intellectually, what she must be feeling, but has not connected it to any kind of visceral emotion that he can relate to and respect.
This comes to a head near the end of chapter 18, after he scrys Pip's capture and after Kintyre suggests that perhaps Pip began to love him before the Viceroy began to aggressively control her. Though Forsyth was heartbroken by what he saw when he scried, he obviously never intended to tell Pip what he'd done. She catches him when a slip of the tongue reveals it, and her anger at his betrayal is met with indignation, claims that she's being unfair, that he was just researching–and he never apologizes. At least not in this section.
What does he do instead of apologize?
He grabs her and says he will not let go until she listens, declares his love, and then kisses her–imagining that this is his "heroic task", a meaningful way to convey to Pip that she is not alone. He intends to "kiss her until she understands." (pg 504)
Pip is furious, and rightly so. Frey is obviously and deftly calling out one of the tropes I dislike the most, the Forceful Kiss. In this instance, Forsyth is ignoring Pip's words–her line of dialogue before this, as she's trying to escape his grasp, is "There's nothing you can do!"–in favor of his macho "knowledge" that deep down inside, she's actually in love with him.
Even if that were true–and we'll get to that in the next section of the read-along–it is, shall we say, incredibly short-sighted of Forsyth to not realize the depth of his failure here. She's spent weeks, months, as the puppet of a truly evil sorcerer, forcing her to have sex with Forsyth, which he acknowledges to be rape. And he makes this mind-bogglingly stupid heroic gesture that forces intimacy on Pip, and has the nerve to be frustrated by his "own inability to help Pip, to make her understand, to make [himself] understand what she needs." (pg 505)
I mean…
What's happening here is that Forsyth is falling into the trope that romantic love overcomes everything, even severe PTSD, just days after the torment ended. After Kintyre figures out that Pip may have actually started to care for Forsyth before the Viceroy really took over, Forsyth hardly waits to try the theory out. It doesn't even matter that he got this interpretation from Kintyre and not Pip. It gives Forsyth what he needs, and so he abandons what Pip, current Pip, has asked of him in favor of what months-ago Pip might have felt before being actively mind-controlled for weeks on end.
More on this in the next section.
Coming Up
Next week, hosted by Pug and Books, hits chapters 19 and 20 and covers the final showdown with the Big Bad!

Don't talk about percentages. Percentages are the lowest form of political lies.Obama turning the ship around? I'm sure you believe (and quite sincerely, I would suppose) that Obama has increased the debt at a slower pace than any other president in the history of the country.The problem is that damned stubborn National Debt number, isn't it.$4.899 trillion Bush increase (which I roundly condemned at the time, even though I understood it much better that this bull$hit that I see coming from the liberal Obama every day).5.5 Trillion dollar Obama increase. If he hasn't gotten his own way at all, as you imply, how has he spent all that money, MV?Liberals are hypocrites. Absolute, utter, bald-faced HYPOCRITES.http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-503544_162-57400369-503544/natio... Oh, and by the way. Under OBAMA the national debt has gone over 100% of GDP for the first time in the history of the nation. (Just in case you somehow "missed" that little tidbit of information.

Book Details: Ain't Gonna Be the Same Fool Twice by April Sinclair
Published: Open Road Integrated Media(1996)
Cover Design: Kat Lee(for ebook version)
Read on Freading app
4.5 stars
Keywords: African American-Human sexuality-college age-Chicago-San Francisco-Women's Studies-Lesbianism
April Sinclair has done it again with Ain't Gonna Be the Same Fool Twice, her follow up to Coffee Will Make You Black.
Jean Stevenson or "Stevie" has left high school with hopes of becoming a journalist while also still exploring her sexuality and how it could connect to her being black in the 70s.
In high school, she crushed on a white nurse(In the first book) and began questioning herself then, even though she had sex with a boy before. Even in college, Stevie dates men but soon she realizes there is more to her relationships than just sex. Racism, religion, and politics become a part of the stretching fabric of her life.
Stevie eventually finds herself in a few female relationships and she calls it "experimenting" yet those who care about her wonder if she is sure about any of her decisions. Recalling quotes from a loving grandmother and living in San Francisco with a homosexual hottie named Sterling, Stevie will need to muster all the courage and common sense she was taught just to survive.
My Reaction:
This book was just as good as the first! If you are someone who shies away from topics like lesbianism and racism with a dash of politics, then you may want to run. I am not into politics or sexuality topics like either, but the story was good.
A lot of Stevie's experiences, sadly, has not changed in reality for 2016.
For example, when Stevie begins dating an attractive white female, they are stopped by the police and the police assumes Stevie is a black male and never once looks at her, he constantly asks if her girlfriend is okay. Unfortunately for Stevie, her white girlfriend is only offended when he calls her "ma'am". This is Stevie's crucial eye opener to the climate of the times she is in.
I enjoy Stevie's personality and her wise mannerism to a degree. She can come off as scathing and wishy washy at the same time; most moments and even with a scathing, stern personality, she can become a rug for someone else even when she knows better. Her friends left much to be desire. I cared for no one really in California. The portrayal of the city she was in was one where people hold on to inhibitions, freedom and weed, but let go of sense and sensitivity.
All in all I give this an exceptional rating. It was a perfect follow up to Coffee Will Make You Black.
Okay, bookworms! Would you ever read a book like this? What are some books you loved that had very sensitive topics for you? Discuss below and remember to share this post with your friends!

During the week of June 12, Vancouver Police Department (VPD) reported five overdose deaths, up from four reported the previous week. Vancouver Fire and Rescue Services (VFRS) also reported an 18 per cent increase in calls for the same period, for a total of 112, up from 95 the week prior. LifeLabs is also reporting this week a 21 per cent carfentanil positivity rate in patient urine samples containing fentanyl. This is a significant increase from the six to eight per cent recorded in February and March and presents an extreme risk to the public.
"In the 14 months since being declared a public health emergency, the BC government has failed to make a clear commitment to halt the fentanyl crisis and save hundreds of people from preventable drug overdose deaths," says Mayor Gregor Robertson. "Four British Columbians die every day from overdoses, yet the crisis barely warranted a mention in yesterday's Throne Speech. We need a provincial government with a bold, tenacious approach and the courage to dramatically improve prevention, education and addictions treatment, with dedicated resources into opioid substitution therapy, treatment on demand, and other essential services for everyone who needs it, when they need it."
With the tainted drug supply steadily increasing, this crisis is a risk to casual drug users as well as to those struggling with addictions.
Our city has been besieged by this crisis for over a year, and it is clear that new strategies are needed. Making drug testing technologies available to users has the potential to improve awareness of risks of exposure to fentanyl and carfentanil, reduce the proliferation of tainted substances, and ultimately help to reduce overdose deaths.
More upstream attention is needed as well. This week, B.C.'s Provincial Health Minister, Dr. Perry Kendall, wrote an open letter encouraging parents to have frank conversations with their children about drug experimentation, especially in light of graduation and the end of the school year.
As released last week, Vancouver is on pace for more than 430 overdose deaths by the end 2017. The City looks forward to the provincial government returning to the Legislature this week, and continues to urge all levels of government to make this public health emergency a top priority. Toxicology reports on the most recent deaths are not yet complete and final overdose death numbers need to be confirmed by the BC Coroners Service.

Mormons Feeling Stung By Their 'Moment'
Suzanne Sataline, the Wall Street Journal's crack religion reporter, filed a front page piece today in the Journal titled "Mormons Dismayed by Harsh Spotlight." Although I spoke with Ms. Sataline several times over the writing of her piece (and am lightly quoted near the end), I was still surprised at the depth, breadth, and understanding of Mormonism it managed so gracefully. Mormons licking their wounds this morning as they contemplate the beating their religion took over the last year may find some small consolation in this sympathetic piece. (more…)

RSPCA criticised after vet leaves dead horse in field
An animal welfare charity has been criticised after the body of a horse was left in a field for four days after it was euthanised by a vet.
The horse, one of a group of 16 in a field in Yateley, Hampshire, was put down by an RSPCA vet on Tuesday, but its body not removed until Saturday.
Resident Fiona Whelan said it had been "left lying in a large puddle, where it started to decompose".
The charity said it was up to the landowner to remove the horse.
The herd of horses had been monitored by the RSPCA because of welfare concerns.
A spokesman for the charity said that, after the vet's visit, the charity had reported the body to the Animal Health and Veterinary Laboratories Agency, which said it was the responsibility of Hampshire County Council's trading standards team to remove the horse.
The council said it had told the RSPCA if nobody came forward to claim the animal, the charity had a responsibility to remove the carcass themselves as they had put the animal down.
The RSPCA spokesman said the horses' owners could not be traced but the animals had "clearly been fed and had owners visiting them".
He said that "whilst the vet agreed that conditions are not ideal, the majority of the horses were not deemed to be suffering under the Animal Welfare Act, so we cannot remove them".
He added that the neglect was not "uncommon" and was part of a national "horse crisis", which was stretching horse welfare charities to "breaking point".

Invisible Familiars are a multifarious musical trio and the brainchild of psych-pop multiinstrumentalist Jared Samuel. Hailing from Brooklyn, Samuel in addition to guitarist Robbie Mangano and drummer Tim Kuhl also make up the core of Sean Lennon's experimental band the Ghost of a Saber Tooth Tiger.
"Clever Devil" is packed with quirky musical details that accentuate the obsessive mantra of the melody. The song slithers in on a percussive yet clandestine acoustic guitar groove, over which is laid a sly Samuels vocal that unfolds like a revealing and intimate conversation with a close friend.
As the song expands, it acquires more instrumental flourishes, ranging from cautionary keyboards, to spectral backing vocals and flashing red siren guitars. The groove never loses its cool, letting the instrumental coloring do the work. The chorus section is the only break in the cloudy rhythm, letting small pieces of blue sky peak through. One solo breakdown appearing midway through the track features a phased laser guitar line as it struggles for supremacy against a solitary drunken horn.
If this song, due with "Digger's Invitation" on a seven-inch later this month via Other Music, is any indication of the ingenuity to be found on the upcoming Invisible Familiars release, there will be a plethora of auditory delights and addictive melodies to explore.
Kuhl has his own well-regarded solo career, and Mangano has worked with Julie Slick, as well.

It's that time of year again when thousands of children and teens have their summer break. If you're like me and have a teenager in your life, the memories of your own childhood are not far off. You may remember with fondness that time when your biggest concerns were whether your parents would let you borrow the family car for a night out with your friends or who you were going to ask to the school dance.
Our teenage years are when we finally get to enjoy some adult freedoms without yet having to shoulder all the adult cares and responsibilities. For most teens, it's an exciting time of life.
Sadly, this isn't the case for all of our young people. Did you know that on any given night, there are more than 5,000 homeless students in San Diego County alone?
Take Matthew who was living in a car with his grandmother and not enrolled in high school. In 2013, he came to Toussaint Academy determined to graduate high school on time, knowing that his rough start in life wouldn't dictate his future.
Not only did Matthew graduate on time, he exceeded his goal. While working to finish high school, he made the basketball team, completed several internships and, I'm told, made it to several school dances.
With the help and support of Father Joe's Villages' Toussaint Academy, Matthew is finding the life he wants and knows he deserves. Now a Toussaint graduate, he is employed and attending San Diego City College.
Toussaint Academy helped Matthew overcome homelessness. Now, he is a confident and motivated young adult. He's well on his way to a much brighter and more secure future.
This kind of success was only possible because of your support. Your contributions have changed the lives of countless homeless teens just like Matthew. We are so grateful to you for helping to make Toussaint Academy a place where young people achieve their dreams and set themselves on a path to life-long success.
Your gift is extremely important because it offers immediate resources that are directed to current needs and opportunities of teenagers who find themselves homeless. A gift of any amount can help change a child's life.
Donate today to help Matthew and all teens lay the foundation for the life they are working so hard to achieve.
Yours in God's Service to Our Neighbors in Need,

Quitting Smoking And Lung Cancer
Smoking Causes Lung Cancer
We already know that smoking is the major cause of many, many ailments. The most serious that I want to talk about today is lung cancer. When it comes to smoking causing lung cancer this is true in 88% of the time. When it comes to lung cancer more people lose their lives from it as compared to many other cancers combined.
The more you smoke the more you stand a chance of getting lung cancer. The trick is to quit smoking because even after many, many years of smoking if you qwuit you stand a great chance of greatly reducing the risk of getting cancer. The big thing when it comes to lung cancer is being pro active instead of reactive. In most cases when lung cancer is discovered it is advanced and very difficult to deal with. The fact is that lung cancer victims have a lower survival rate than most other cancers.
A big cough is a sign to get things looked at. Other things you may notice is loss of breath, irritated airway. You may cough up blood, have chest pains and also things like bronchitis will come and go. Also watch for sudden weight gains and losses. If the lung cancer is not found it can spread to other parts of the body as well.
A Little About The Lungs
When it comes to your chest cavity there is a pair of organs that take up most of the room and they are your lungs. You have a lung located on either side of your heart. I don't want to get to indepth but it is important you understand a little about how your important organs work.
When you take a brfeath the air is taken from the mouth and through the trachea. In most cases from there the breath enters the lungs. The breath does a lot of things including blood flow, oxygen and carbon dioxide delivery and exit.
The airways and lining in the windpipes when it comes to healthy lungs work in a very controlled way. When lung cancer kicks in cells keep producing nerw ones even when there not needed. Most people are not going to realize lung cancer over night but damage to the tissues start as soon as you start smoking. The more you smoke the more your opening your self up for more damage. Your lungs at the end of the day haver a great impact on your entire body which makes the spread more likely to happen.
Some Causes And Types Of Lung Cancer
We talk about it and you hear it everyday and Im sure no one will argue that smoking is the absolute number one reason people get lung cancer. There are some other lung cancer causes like second hand smoke, asbestos, other stuff in industry but these are relatively small when it comes back to talking about smoking causing lung cancer.
Cancers are named by the part of the body it affects, thus lung, kidney and bone cancer. Something fairly interesting is that non smokers rarely get lung cancer. Also smoking doesn't help to spread the cancer. Its just the primary cause.
There really are only two cancers that build there presence when we start talking about the lungs. They are small cell and non small cell. When it comes to small cell this is the one that mostly affects smokers. For the most part the small cell cancer is treated with chemo and radiation while surgery is almost always never an option. The other bad news item is that surving five years almost never happens.
Many of the non small lung cancers are whats called non small cell. When getting technical the four types of non small cancer are squamous, adenocarcinoma, large cell and bronchoaveolar. These if caught early can be dealt with using surgery in most cases. Most of these cancers are caused from stuff other then smoking.
Time To Quit Smoking
Smoking causes nearly 90% of all lung cancers. It is no doubt the greatest risk of getting cancer. The nice thing is that as soon as you quit you are on your way to reducing your chances of cancer. At the end of the day the best thing to avoid lung cancer is to quit smoking.
At the end of the day everyone who wants to quit smoking may be able to do it cold turkey but most will need help of some kind. It really is okay to need help. The problem is everyone is different thus resulting in different forms of help.
All I can do is tell you to keep trying whatever until you find the help that works. As long as the end result is you are a non smoker.
Super, Dale, you really can be proud of yourself. Smokers told me that even after 10 years you still will have that longing for it when you smell a cigarette. So be warned.
Hi Dale - Here is a link to an article that discusses the cancer risk from tobacco smoking:
Voted your article "UP" and "Useful." Thanks.
Gus :-)))
Great hub, Dale. Lynda
Good writeup on such an important issue. I think i should forward this hub to my friends who are smokers. Thanks dale for taking out time to compile this hub.
Thanks for this hub. Most smokers seem to think that bad things happen to other people. Pat's mother died of lung cancer. It was horrible.
Thanks for sharing.
I hope that your page helps someone to take the decision to qui.

Courses to be a hospice chaplain range from 12 to 36 months. It takes 100-200 hours of practicum in order to be certified as well.
A hospice chaplain provides religious support to those that are terminally ill. A hospital chaplain requires more schooling. It generally requires a graduate degree before a person can begin work. Spiritual counselors have basically the same role as hospice chaplains and this does not require any certification.
The chaplain or counselor's main job is to play a role in addressing fears and concerns the patients may be dealing with due to their own religious beliefs. They are also there to listen to the patient and family in their time of despair.

A four-cylinder engine comes standard with an EPA-rated City/Highway 19/26 miles per gallon. We found it to be strong, offering good acceleration performance for passing on two-lane roads, and it's smooth and quiet when cruising down the highway. This 2.4-liter four-cylinder comes mated to a four-speed automatic transmission with a manual mode.
A smooth 2.7-liter V6 with a five-speed automatic is optional. It's rated 18/26 mpg and delivers more thrust more smoothly and adds just $1,000 to the retail price, making it a bargain.
The seats are comfortable whether ordered in cloth or leather. The driver sits relatively high and the Rondo feels like neither a car nor a sport utility. In addition to people, it can haul lots of stuff; just flip down the back two rows of seats.
Launched as a 2007 model, the Kia Rondo has no significant changes for 2008. The 2008 Rondo adds an auxiliary jack for audio devices and deletes the cassette deck.
Kia Rondo LX ($17,895); LX V6 ($18,895); EX ($19,195); EX V6 ($20,195)
The Rondo EX has chrome slats in the grille, chrome door handles and a chrome strip on the side, but the cheaper LX, with a black grille and no chrome on the side, looks cleaner.
The pillars are black, creating an unbroken glass effect with tinted windows. The C-pillar slopes down and back, with the lower rim rising to meet it and shape an upswept three-quarter rear window that offers a decent view for the third-row passengers, although it could be bigger. The rear glass is a simple large rectangle, a bit wider on the bottom and smoothly sloped. It doesn't open separately.
The wheelbase is long when compared to the total length, resulting in short front and rear overhangs (the part of the car that extends ahead of or behind the wheels). That helps maximize interior space.
The five-spoke alloy wheels are simple, silver, and individual, with each of the five spokes having a stylish twist.
Since roomy seating is what makes the Rondo special, let's start with a tale of the tape: leg room in the front, middle and third rows is 41.3, 38.2 and 31.3 inches, compared to 40.7, 35.2 and 30.7 in the Mazda5, and 41.8, 38.3 and 30.0 in the RAV4. But inches expressed as numbers on a page aren't necessarily conclusive. Indeed, the Rondo feels considerably more roomy than the RAV4.
In the second row, with the sliding seat all the way back, you can extend your legs.
In the third-row seat, we found reasonable knee and head room for our 5-foot, 10-inches, although we had to put our feet together and splay our knees. It's cozy back there, not the best place for adults. On each side of the third row, there's a good-sized storage bin with a flip-up top like a console, and one cupholder. Kids can put their stuff in there.
The second row is split 60/40, and both sides slide forward to increase legroom in the third row; that's also how you climb back there. The second-row seats recline, as well.
For cargo carrying, both the second and third rows fold flat easily; the second-row seat cushion folds forward and the seatback flops down, with the headrest flipping back. Each side of each row folds separately, so a long space can be created on one side of the car, suitable for, say, a short kayak. The front passenger seat doesn't fold flat, so you can't fit a long kayak inside. For that, you'd need to purchase the crossbars for the roofrails.
There's good storage space with the third-row folded flat or with no optional third row at all. With all the rear seats down, there's a lot of cargo space. With the third row in use, there's only room behind the seat for a couple of brief cases. You can easily reach in and raise or lower the third-row seats through the liftgate.
We drove both the Rondo LX and EX models, with cloth and leather interior. The cloth looks better in gray than beige: less old-fashioned. The perforated gray leather seats added a real touch of class, along with $1000 to the price. After a full day of driving, the cloth bucket seats in the LX, our test model, were still comfortable.
In the front seats, the passenger has tons of leg and elbow room, and the comfortable seat reclines if he or she wants to take a nap. The driver's seat is high and affords good visibility; from behind the wheel, the Rondo feels like neither an SUV nor a car, which is what a crossover is about. There's excellent visibility front and rear, with lots of glass so there are no blind spots when looking over your shoulder.
The doors open wide and are easy to open and close, and each has a grab handle nearby. Other cabin touches are well planned, including good lighting, a comfortable armrest for the driver, door pockets with a fixed bulge for a big water bottle, a purse hanger on the right side of the center stack, climate vents for the second row, and other touches.
The dashboard and instrument panel layout and design are sharp and efficient, finished in graphite with orange mood lighting for the gauges. The climate ducts are round and balanced, and the knobs are easy to understand and operate. The leather-wrapped steering wheel on the EX feels great, and there are steering wheel controls, as well.
Cubby storage includes a compartment on top of the dashboard, more convenient for the driver than the glovebox because it's easily reachable. For its part, the glovebox is a good size. The automatic shift lever is located up on the center stack, giving more room for the console between the seats, which is deep and square. Forward of the console compartment there are two fixed cupholders and a slot for a cell phone.
The interior is nice and quiet; most noise comes from the tires over fre
The V6 only costs $1000 more, however, and gets just one or two fewer miles per gallon, and comes with a fifth gear in the Sportmatic transmission. You don't really need the extra speed of the V6, but it's very quiet and makes the vehicle feel smoother and more solid. And if you carry six or seven passengers using the optional third-row seat, you'll appreciate the extra 20 horsepower. The 2.7-liter V6 produces 182 horsepower and comes with a five-speed automatic transmission with Sportmatic. The V6 gets an EPA-estimated 18/27 mpg, making it a good value.
With the four-cylinder engine we found passing trucks on two-lane roads easy. The four-speed automatic kicked down smoothly and the engine scooted the car forward quickly and silently. We played with the Sportmatic and found it well-programmed. We ran the Rondo up to 80 mph where it was quiet and smooth, feeling like no more than 70. We also did time in Phoenix rush-hour traffic, and the LX was a great zoom-around-town vehicle. At idle, you can barely tell the engine is running.
The V6 with five-speed Sportmatic in the EX worked even better. We drove it like a sports car over twisty roads, and we could barely hear the engine when the transmission downshifted for acceleration; it was a bit slow to kick down into second gear, but was fine at higher speeds. The manual upshifts at 5800 rpm were sharp.
Both models use the same suspension, although the shocks are tuned a bit firmer with the V6 because of the extra weight. The ride and handling are excellent. In the LX, we deliberately hit a speed bump at 30 mph and didn't get jarred. Over freeway expansion strips, we could hear the thunk of the tires but couldn't feel the bumps. We drove through more curves, at least 20 miles of them, and the LX was crisply responsive.
We used the four-wheel disc brakes hard, and they were strong and solid. The performance was pretty darn impressive, especially considering the LX uses 16-inch wheels and tires and not the 17-inch Michelins on the EX. The front rotors are big at 11 inches in diameter, and are vented for better cooling. It's a good sign when a car excels at a task for which it wasn't designed.
The Kia Rondo is an excellent choice for a family vehicle. It's a front-wheel-drive, seven-passenger vehicle with a low price, midsize, high fuel mileage, ample cargo room and passenger versatility, and complete safety features as standard equipment. It features good leg and shoulder room for the passengers despite its modest length. It comes with either a robust four-cylinder engine or smooth V6, and offers an excellent ride, handling and brakes.

A female blackbird sits on two or three eggs in our neighbours' hedge
A selection of pictures of the first lapwing's nest we checked. The little chickens are already crawling around the nest. Watch out. You can easily step on one of them without even noticing!
The second lapwing's nest. The chickens are hatching this moment. One is dry, the other still wet and the third egg is still closed. Last week we found a fourth slightly damaged egg in this nest, but it was gone now.
Along the way we discoverd the nest of a couple of grey geese as well. The female only flew away when we were allready very close. That's how we discovered there was a nest at all.
The whitest egg must have been layed very recently, because it hasn't been made dirty by the geese feet.
The whitest egg must have been layed very recently, because it hasn't been made dirty by the geese feet.
We've discovered two godwit's nests today. They're well hidden thus very hard to find and the female only leaves the nest in the high grass when you're at two feet distance. We've marked them so the farmer can mow around them instead of crushing them under his wheels.
Finally we checked the western curlew's nest wich seemed to be o.k.
