After the allegations about the film producer Harvey Weinstein upset the glamorous world of Hollywood, and the explosion of the #MeToo social media phenomenon—where women are telling their stories of sexual assault—Westminster is now all shook up with allegations of sex scandals concerning male MPs being a little bit more than just naughty.
For many, who have internalised patriarchal structures and believe that things cannot be changed, it is acceptable to consider the current irruption of sexual allegations and charges against men a bit "silly." This is the kind of passivity which perpetuates the system of abuse-begetting-abuse and encourages men to behave in ways that are simply unacceptable. For others, fear of damaging their career or the party, keeps them silent.
The truth is that the Weinstein effect is starting to hurt misogynistic attitudes everywhere around the globe, and this can only be perceived as a positive step to uncover harassment and abuse, which has been accepted, forgiven or hushed up.
As the New Statesman Stephen Bush wrote: "From the Tory MP described as 'handsy in taxis' all the way to the SWP's 'Comrade Delta,' the senior member who was accused of rape repeatedly for at least three years and who has never been questioned by the police, the cry of 'don't hurt the party' has protected a great number of men for a great number of years and it may continue to do so now."
The Sun story
Over the weekend, two Conservative MPs were accused of sexually inappropriate behaviour after the Sun revealed on Friday that Cabinet ministers were named by female staff in a secret list of "sex-pest MPs" to avoid at Westminster in a WhatsApp group.
The newspaper explained that their allegations came after Labour MP John Mann claimed that he was going to name a party colleague who behaved to a young woman "appallingly." He tweeted: "I will be naming a Labour MP who behaved appallingly towards a young woman."
According to the Sun, the messages in the group referred to politicians who were behaving in a variety of inappropriate ways. The women, ranging from researchers to secretaries and aides shared their stories and warned new employees of their "sleazy bosses." From Parliament's bars to party conferences, female employees warned their female colleagues to avoid getting into lifts and taxis with certain ministers or watch out for other ones for groping.
The accusations included senior MPs having sex with staff in Parliament's offices, "groping," demanding staff to buy sex toys, hiring young "leggy women," pressing for affairs and calling their female workers "sugar t**s." The Mail on Sunday named Conservative MP Mark Garnier as the minister who asked his secretary to buy sex toys in Soho while he was waiting outside the shop, and called her "sugar t**ts." He said that his action "absolutely does not constitute harassment." In addition, the Telegraph revealed that Stephen Crabb sent inappropriate texts for which he apologised.
A source said that women employees "For years we have all looked out for each other. It's like, 'So-and-so is hiring, but it can't be a woman for him'." A member of the WhatsApp group said: "The usual old suspects are there but there have been some surprising younger names crop up." A "lechers list" of MPs behaving badly has been drawn up by Tory whips so that they can keep an eye on them. The "36 sex pest MPs" named in the list include 18 serving ministers and two cabinet ministers.
Theresa May's spokesperson called for staff to come forward with their experiences and said: "Any allegations that may come to light will be taken extremely seriously and we would advise people to contact the police if there is such an allegation, so it can be fully investigated." The PM has promised to fight against sexual allegations and asked the Speaker of the House of Commons, John Bercow, to prepare an independent mediation service for staff to raise their concerns.
Baroness Jenkin, said that "Men used to hit on you all the time. They would say, 'I had a dream about you last night'. These things affect people differently." Cabinet minister Maria Miller claimed she "experienced far more sexual harassment as an MP than in my 20-year career in advertising and marketing. This is not a thing of the past — we need to see it as a present-day concern."
The shadow home secretary Diane Abbott, also highlighted the male culture which she has experienced for the last 30 years first-hand: "You would have sort of micro-sexual aggression. So women would get up in the chamber and Tories opposite would do this gesture like they were weighing their breasts. There was harassment, there were jokes which weren't that funny – it was partly to do with the fact it was a very male environment – 650 MPs, when I went there just 20-odd women. It was partly to do with idea of all these men away from home, it was partly to do with the fact there were eight bars and the very long hours and the bars were open for as long as we're sitting, and partly with the notion that what happens in Westminster stays in Westminster. It was worse – it's a little bit better now – but there's a long way to go."

"Cardboard Dreams"
The duo met "randomly" several days ago. John ("my American name") is a UNC Greensboro student originally from Durham trying to find a job in Chapel Hill. He prefers Chapel Hill because "it's safer than Durham." Elijah (playing guitar), recently moved back from a stint in Orlando, FL. Says he just landed a job at Krispy Kreme.
The two of them would like to form a band together. They've been tossing about some names. "I like Cardboard Dreams, but I don't know he's down with that," says John.

We used music from Elvis Costello to learn how we can learn how to take peace, love and understanding seriously in a world that laughs at them.
From the Hebrew Scriptures: Jeremiah 23: 23-29: Is not my word like fire …

Like A Local: London
First stop on my #avveurope trip, London! As I mentioned in my last post, London was one of the first cities to really inspire me to explore personal style. There's something about London. The way people dress. Everyone is chic or cool or both. They wear whatever the hell they want and don't really care what anyone else thinks. It's amazing. All the women have perfect black boots, all the men have perfect slim suit, and drinking is acceptable at virtually any hour. If it weren't for the weather, London would definitely be on my list for a future home city!
Another theme on my trip across Europe was to "do as the locals do". More just enjoying the city instead of trying to get to every tourist attraction. It was refreshing just to wander, explore, and be in the moment! Below are some of my favorite vintage, shopping, eating and drinking spots in London! Enjoy :)
- Antiques Galore -- Portobello Market
- Cool AF -- Dover Street Market
- Bargain Shopping -- Primark
- Most Beautiful Storefront -- Liberty London
- Epic London Department Store -- Selfridges
- A Must -- Harrods
- Coolest Bar/Club I've Ever Been To -- Sketch
- Dangerous Sangria and Delish Tapas -- Pix Carnaby
- Croque Madame -- Café Rouge
- Good food & music -- St Martin's Lane Hotel
- Best Fish & Chips -- Dining Plaice Fish & Chips

BREAKING NEWS! Ghana wins maritime case against Cote d'Ivoire
The Chamber in a unanimous decision, ruled that there has not been any violation on the part of Ghana on Côte d'Ivoire's maritime boundary. The International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea (ITLOS) in its ruling on Saturday said Ghana has no special responsibility towards Côte d'Ivoire and so the issue of reparation doesn't arise.
The Chamber rejected Côte d'Ivoire's argument that Ghana's coastal lines were unstable.
It also noted that Ghana has not violated Côte d'Ivoire's sovereign rights with its oil exploration in the disputed basin in question.
Justice Boualem Bouguetaia, President of the Special Chamber in reading the judgment, accepted Ghana's argument of adoption of the equidistance method of delineation of the maritime boundary.
In consideration of the new boundary, the Chamber determined that it starts from boundary 55 -200 nautical miles away, a position much closer to what Ghana was arguing for.
In 2014, Ghana took the case to ITLOS to dispel claims it has encroached Cote d'Ivoire's marine borders as part of oil exploration activities at Cape Three Points, off the shores of the Western Region.
Ghana's defense held that Cote d'Ivoire was barred from demanding ownership to the disputed area it had acknowledged that Ghana owned the space without any qualms in the decades leading up to the oil discovery.
The oral hearings for the dispute were concluded in February 2017.
Cote d'Ivoire wanted the Special ITLOS Chamber to invite the parties to carry out negotiations in order to reach an agreement on the terms of reparation due Côte d'Ivoire.
But the Special Chamber has rejected that call reports Graphic Online's Mabel Aku Baneseh from Hamburg.
It was a unanimous decision.
This means Ghana is not financially obligated to Côte d'Ivoire.
Ghana's oil discovery
In 2007, Ghana discovered oil and gas in commercial quantities, and this was followed by Cote d'Ivoire staking its claim to portions of the West Cape Three Points.
These claims were renewed in 2010 after Vanco, an oil exploration and production company announced the discovery of oil in the Dzata-1 deepwater-well.
Cote d'Ivoire petitioned the United Nations asking for a completion of the demarcation of its maritime boundary with Ghana, and Ghana responded by setting up of the Ghana Boundary Commission.
This commission was tasked with the responsibility of negotiating with Côte d'Ivoire towards finding a lasting solution to the problem.
But this commission bore no fruit, and in September 2014, Ghana dragged Cote d'Ivoire to ITLOS after 10 failed negotiations.
ITLOS's first ruling in 2015 placed a moratorium on new projects, with old projects continuing after Cote d'Ivoire filed for preliminary measures and urged the tribunal to suspend all activities on the disputed area until the definitive determination of the case.
The moratorium prevented Tullow Oil from drilling additional 13 wells. Tullow thus drilled eleven [11] wells in Ghana's first oil field.

Royal Norwegian Society of Sciences and letters
The Royal Norwegian Society of Sciences and Letters (Norwegian: Det Kongelige Norske Videnskabers Selskab, DKNVS) is a learned society based in Trondheim, Norway.
DKNVS was founded in 1760 by bishop of Nidaros Johan Ernst Gunnerus, headmaster at the Trondheim Cathedral School Gerhard Schøning and Councillor of State Peter Frederik Suhm under the name Det Trondhiemske Selskab (the Trondheim Society). From 1761 it published academic papers in a series titled Skrifter. It was the northernmost learned society in the world, and was established in a time when Norway did not have universities or colleges.[1][2]
It received the royal affirmation of its statutes on 17 July 1767,[3] and was given its present name at a ceremony on 29 January 1788, the king's birthday.[4] In 1771, when Johann Friedrich Struensee took over the de facto rule of Denmark-Norway, Johan Ernst Gunnerus was summoned to Copenhagen, where he was given the mission to establish a university in Norway. Gunnerus did not suggest that the university be established in Trondhjem, but in southern Christianssand (Kristiansand), due to its proximity to Jutland. If this happened, he would have the Society of Sciences and Letters moved to Christianssand, to correspond with the new university. However, the plan was never carried out. Struensee's reign ended in 1772, but he reportedly dismissed the plan before this.[1] (Kristiansand got its university in 2007.[5])
The society was housed in the premises of Trondheim Cathedral School until 1866, when it acquired its own localities.[4] Since 1903 its main task was to run a museum. In 1926 there was a split in which the museum became a separate entity, receiving the assets of the learned society. Also in 1926, another publication series Det Kongelige Norske Videnskabers Selskab Forhandlinger was inaugurated.[4] Ownership of the museum was transferred to the University of Trondheim in 1968,[6] today the Norwegian University of Science and Technology,[3] but DKNVS re-received some assets in a 1984 reorganization, and now controls these assets through the foundation DKNVSS.[6]
A history of the Royal Norwegian Society of Sciences and Letters was written in 1960 by Hans Midbøe, and released in two volumes.[7]
The board of directors consists of seven people, five men and two women. It is led by praeses Steinar Supphellen and vice-praeses Kristian Fossheim. Other board members are Hanna Mustaparta, Britt Dale, Ola Dale, Joar Grimsbu and Asbjørn Moen. The daily administration is led by a secretary-general; Kristian Overskaug.[8] The board is responsible for awarding the Gunnerus Medal[9] for academic achievement.[10] The medal was inaugurated in 1927.[3]
Before 1815, the sitting King held the title of praeses, while the highest-ranked non-royal member was vice praeses. In the tradition of Gunnerus the bishop, the latter post was filled by clerics until 1820, when Christian Krohg took the seat. From 1815 the King holds the title of "protector". Today King Harald V of Norway is protector of the society.[4]
Members of the learned society are divided into two divisions, Letters and Sciences. In 2005 there were 470 members, of whom 134 were foreign.[3] This is a marked increase from 1996, when it had 399 members, of whom 94 were foreign.[4]
The society awards the following prizes
1. The Royal Norwegian Society of Sciences and Letters annual prize for young researchers (funded by IK Lykkes Fund)
2. The Royal Norwegian Society of Sciences and Letters scientific annual prize
3. Gunnerus Sustainability Award

Area Schools Teaming Up For Civil War Reenactment
"The Haguewood Prairie Civil War Battle", a Student Reenactment project beginning on Monday, May the 20th, three Logan County school districts will be teaming up to allow their students to conduct a Civil War battle reenactment in full period clothing. Working in conjunction, Dr. Curtis Varnell of the Western Arkansas Educational Co-op and The Paris Area Chamber of Commerce, a grant from the Arkansas Humanities Council was applied for and received for the "In the Shadow of the Mountains: Civil War in Arkansas" project. Paris, Subiaco, and Scranton school districts will be involved with the staging and production.
"The Haguewood Prairie Fight" Civil War battle documentary film is chronicling the Haguewood Prairie Battle of September 27,1863 which occurred near Paris and involved 800 Confederate Troops on the way into Missouri on The Great Raid and 80 members of the First Arkansas Infantry Company H (US). Commanding officers were Colonel Joseph Shelby & Captain "Tuck" Thorpe (Confederate Calvary) and Captain William C. Parker (US First Arkansas Infantry Company H – "Mountain Feds") The Haguewood Prairie Battle occurred in Logan County one mile northeast of the Paris Courthouse.
Students dressing in period clothing will be representing key relevant figures from either side of the conflict. The reenactment will be held in two stages. The first stage of the reenactment will take place in the form of the participating students being interviewed as the historical figures that they are portraying while dressed in period clothing. The second stage of the reenactment will be filmed with the students on location at The Haguewood Prairie battlefield.
Dr. Curtis Varnell was instrumental in applying for the grant which is provided by The Arkansas Humanities Council and is awarded to artists, community organizations, and government entities that want to offer public humanities programs. The grant funding also allows for the filming and subsequent video production of the entire event. The Western Arkansas Educational Co-Op has secured the services of "This Is Arkansas" team members Ray Bertram, Michael Schwarz, and Michael Johnson in conjunction with professional Little Rock-based film videographer Bob Sandufer to assist in numerous vital facets of the reenactment. Bob Sandufer is the owner and operator of Sandefur Film & Video of Little Rock, his work is well known throughout the state of Arkansas. The Western Arkansas Educational Co-Op (along with all of the school districts involved) are very excited that he has signed on to assist in the filming of the Civil War reenactment that they are staging for their students. Ray Bertram (of This Is Arkansas) is a resident of the Petit Jean Mountain area while both his associates involved in the project, Michael Schwarz (Oklahoma City) and Michael Johnson (Petit Jean Mountain), are filmography students at the University of Central Arkansas in Conway.
The documentary that will be produced around the reenactment will be shown in conjunction with this year's annual Paris Frontier Day Festival and Haguewood Prairie Battle Historic Marker dedication scheduled for Saturday, October 5, 2013 at the Logan County Fairgrounds 2.5 miles east of Paris on Scenic State Highway 22.
Civil War Historical Marker for Logan County
THIS JUST IN!! We are about half-way there on raising money for the historical marker! Any contributions, no matter how small, add up quickly and get us closer to the establishment of the memorial marker. For more information, read on…
The Arkansas Civil War Sesquicentennial has awarded a matching grant to place a historical marker near the site at the corner of Airport Road and Highway 22. The grant requires a matching fund of eleven hundred dollars. A committee has been appointed by the Paris Area Chamber of Commerce to, not only raise the matching funds, but to coordinate the Sesquicentennial activities for north Logan County. Committee members include Joyce Friddle, Linda Hamilton, Ty Varnell, Glenn Gilbreath, or Curtis Varnell.
Donations of any amount can be made by contacting one of the committee members, leaving the donation with the Chamber of Commerce, or by making a deposit at First National Bank of Paris to the Civil War Memorial Fund.
Plans include dedicating the site this fall, developing a historical CD about the area and staging a remembrance and reenactment during Frontier Days 2013 commemorating the 150th anniversary of the battle.
The Arkansas Civil War Sesquicentennial Commission commemorates the 150th anniversary of the Civil War in Arkansas by sanctioning events, encouraging research and education programs related to Civil War Arkansas, and preserving the sites that witnessed the Civil War in Arkansas. The Civil War Sesquicentennial will be celebrated between 2011 and 2015.

I think what hooked a vast majority if not all of us on this series has kids was the awesome and epic fights that you saw throughout the entire of dragon ball, but what is Toriyama's five favorite fight from.? His own manga from his own pen.?
In this post, I will tell you Toriyama's Top 5 favorite Dragon Ball Fights right from his mouth.
Now before we start the list, I want to clarify that these are Toriyama's choices for his favorite fight from the original manga.
So it only fights that he drew fight from Dragon Ball super and fights from the movies will not be included.
Plus this is from the Dragon Ball super exciting guide Story Volume which came out before super.
So what we're Toriyama's Top 5 five favorite fights, and again this is pulled right from the super exciting guide interview.
Goku vs Frieza Fight – The Battle on Namek – Dragon Ball Fights
Number 5 is actually a lot of people's number 1 Goku vs Frieza manga chapters 308 – 237 the battle on Namek.
Toriyama himself says and I quote." it's where the Super Saiyan appears to say the least the time had come when I was finally able to follow through on my promise, to assistant and on top of that I was able to express it very effectively"
I have nothing else to add obviously Goku versus freeze up was a ridiculously popular fight among all Dragon Ball fan so he's very proud of it.
Just to clarify what he's talking about when he says his promise to his assistant Toriyama's kind of being funny.
He ran away and the promise he's referring to has to do with the fact that when Toriyama was first drawing the manga originally, he only had one assistant.
The assistant used to always take up extra time to fill up Goku's hair black you know the assistant would come in after Toriyama would do the initial sketches.
The assistant would color in the dark part and it became an incredible strain on the assistance wrist, having to do this all the time.
So like a joke Toriyama said well we're going to power Goku why not make it easier for you so you don't have to do the black fill in.
That's where it came up with the idea of giving Goku a lighter colored hair when he transformed.
Now I want people to understand who don't know is that most of the time when you're dealing with manga these manga writers have multiple assistance.
But back in the day they only had one and their job was typical to finish up the initial drawings.
kind of feeling some background stuff you know touch up on some colors here and there just kind of to help things out to make it look a little bit better before it goes to publication.
so there's always going to be deadlines and these things take time.
So Toriyama thought hey, let's kill two birds with one stone. Let's show Goku getting a new power a new transformation by having his hair turned to gold, that way it's easy for everybody reading the manga to know right away that Goku is at a different level.
Now that he's changed and let's give a little bit of relief his one and only assistant at the time.
Krillin vs Bacterian – Dragon Ball Fights
Number 4 on the list is actually a tie between two fights one is Krillin vs Bacterian from Manga chapter 36 the 21st Tenkaichi Budokai tournament.
Which is redundant because Budokai means tournament, but anyway and then the second fight is one that is a bit controversial Gotenks vs. Majin Buu.
Chapters 489-495, Toriyama says to be honest I greatly prefer these sorts of silly fights a serious battle and what I found truly enjoyable while drawing the series Stories full of this sort of idiocy at the Top.
If you read Dr. slump you know that Toriyama loves to have wacky and Goofy battles in without question.
Gotenks vs. Majin Buu fit into that category but it was also a fight that maybe came with a bit of total issue because by the time we got to the Buu saga things have become pretty deadly serious.
Especially with the whole creation of Majin Buu and you know his murderous Rampage upon the world.
So I find it interesting that Toriyama would put in such a comedic fight in the middle of this Dreadful time, but hey he enjoyed writing it and that's important if you ask me.
Goku vs Recoome – Dragon Ball Fights
Number 3 Toriyama'ss third favorite fight of all time is from manga chapters 279 and 280 Goku vs Recoome.
from The Ginyu Force Toriyama rights more so than being a showdown between two people. "I like how Goku who we've been waiting for this whole time has finally arrived to exaggerate things a bit it would be fair to say that I drew out the Frieza arc for so long just for the sake of this scene".
So I love how Toriyama pretty much admits that the Frieza Saga is drawn out like crazy, but I got to be honest. I agreed even though the whole fight is just one elbow and it's definitely not my personal third favor fight in the series.
The Epic tone of this, especially in the anime, is something I'll never forget, Goku appears in the battlefield confront Recoome, who tears through Vegeta and actually broke Gohan's neck.
Goku literally shows that even if you have more power if someone else trains hard enough they can beat you, and not just beat you, but beat you with one elbow.
So even though I don't necessarily agree that it's a great fight with Toriyama.
I think it's definitely a great moment and that would, of course, let Vegeta suspecting that Goku maybe more than meets the eye.
He may be the legendary Warrior that he's heard about for so many years.
kid trunks vs Mr. Satan – Dragon Ball Fights
Now speaking of One-Shots another surprising number to kid trunks vs Mr. Satan Dragon Ball Manga chapter 436 Toriyama says "the character who is my personal favorite Mr. Satan appears I enjoy his cheapness and the brevity of the fight"
Now Toriyama throughout the years has said that several different characters are his favorite was Goku being his favoritePiccolo at one time, and of course Mr. Satan.
Later on when he introduced him yeah this was a total oneshot fight but unlike the previous fight would go with Recoome which was meant to Showcase Goku's powers, this fight was completely played up for last, and to give us a funny moment.
The build-up to it was great because Mr. Satan assumes so it's just a kid, what can he do, go ahead kid hit me, and Trunks and knocks him across the arena, because he is the son of Vegeta.
He's more than just a kid and it was a great moment again, I don't know if I put it as my number two greatest fight in Dragon Ball history, but this is toriyama's list.
He said he had fun doing it and you could tell that as much as the Buu Saga may have some story issues you can tell that Toriyama really loves Mr. Satan he made him stay in character because remember he kept him alive for the entire Arc.
He was there all the way until the end with Kid Buu so Toriyama really love writing from for Mr. Satan and that's why this is numbertwo.
Kid Goku vs Demon King Piccolo – Dragon Ball Fights
What is Toriyama's favorite fight that he ever Drew in his manga? Chapter 142 – 161 Goku vs. Demon King Piccolo. No not Goku vs Piccolo jr. from the 23rd tournament that's actually one of my favorite from the original manga.
From the original anime no we're talking about Kid Goku vs Demon King Piccolo which to be honest really is a fun fight.
One that I think everyone should revisit because it was the first time, I would say that there were truly high-stakes in this series.
Demon King Piccolo had already taken over the world and was already in the process of killing innocent people and the only people left to stop him was Goku and Tien. Tien was having tons of trouble against Piccolo and his minions until Goku appeared to set the record straight.
Toriyama writes: "to be honest I have forgotten quite a lot of the story and events in Dragon Ball but being the first time Goku brought down frighteningly powerful foes this battle is number one within myself as well"
I had come to see the Direction the Story would go in after that so what he's referring to as far as where the story would go after that, is that it was during this fight that Toriyama had essentially begun to write or at least come up with the backstory behind Goku and Piccolo.
Now it's unclear as to whether or not it was actually him coming up with the entire backstory of Planet Namek and Planet Vegeta.
We know that this is when he slowly started to kind of understand where he was going, to take the story which would have cost lead into what would be known as Dragon Ball Z or at least a Dragon Ball Z portion of the manga.

Let's first talk about the simplest and the least harmful sleep disorder: simple snoring. Simple or nuisance snoring is just a partial, mild upper airway collapse. More than 40 million adults snore. "Simple" or nuisance snoring is harmless unless it bothers the sleep of your bed partner. If the bed partner's sleep is affected by this snoring, their health can truly be altered. While snoring is more common in men, many women also keep their bed partners awake.
In susceptible people, when enough muscle relaxation occurs, the tongue presses on the flabby tissue at the back of the throat and the airway starts collapsing. The air rushes through this narrowed airway space and the increased air turbulence causes the flabby tissue to flap back and forth, causing the annoying sound we know as snoring. As many as half of adults snore at least occasionally.
Sometimes snoring may indicate a serious health condition. Lifestyle changes, such as losing weight, avoiding alcohol close to bedtime or sleeping on your side, can help stop snoring.
Oral appliance therapy is extremely effective in helping these suffering bed partners.

7 Exercise Myths
Disclaimer: This site is not offering medical advice. Do not change your exercise or diet without consulting with your doctor.
1. Women shouldn't lift heavy
This is one of the most frustrating myths out there. Not only does this myth hinder many women's weight loss progress, it also means that they lose out on the health benefits of gaining bone mass and strengthening tendons.
To start off with, women just aren't designed to be that bulky. The fear of having "man arms" or "looking like a guy" is physically impossible for the average woman. This is because testosterone is the primary hormone need for muscle growth. Since a woman has 15 to 20 times less testosterone than men, the fear of bulking up just isn't realistic. On top of that, men have a higher concentration of Type 2 muscle fibers than women. These Type 2 muscles fibers are much larger than Type 1 muscle fibers. So, woman just aren't made to be bulky like men.
Now, on to why you should lift heavy! When you lift heavy, you burn more fat than when you do high reps of a light weight. Your body wants to hold onto that fat that it's stored. To force it to break down that fat, you have to push your body past what it is comfortable. The only way to burn any significant fat with high reps and light weight is to workout for hours, but who really has time for that? On top of that, people who lift moderate to heave weights have been shown to have lower blood pressure, less cardiovascular risk, and have stronger bodies.
That isn't to say that you want to lift such heavy weights that you injure yourself. If you can't keep good form with a 8-12 set rep, then you need to drop weight. If you can easily lift more than 12, then the weight isn't high enough. The important part of any exercise is to push your body to a challenging point so that it can change.
2. Spot Training Determines Where Your Lose Fat
This is another weight lifting myth that is usually directed at women. Just pull up Pinterest and see how many workout routines claim to help you burn fat off your stomach or promise to tone your legs!
The problem is that you can't tell your body where to lose fat. Doing a lot of ab exercises, doesn't mean you are losing fat off your abs; it means you are gaining stronger ab muscles. If you want to lose the midsection, then you will have to continue to lose fat until your body gets rid of the fat there. Unfortunately, everyone is different on where they lose fat first.
The other problem with this idea is the idea that you can "tone" muscles. Muscle either get larger or smaller. They don't get tighter or "toner". People that you see that are "toned" just have a lower body fat percentage and higher muscle mass.
3. Static Stretches are Good Warmups
If you've ever been in sports, then you probably remember the first 10 minutes or so going through a series of stretches under the guise that if you didn't stretch you'd pull a muscle.
Unfortunately, there's not a lot of science behind this. If you're doing static stretching like bending over and touching your toes, then you're not lowering your risk of injury. These stretches don't warm your body up or engage your muscles in a range of motion. In fact, a study published in Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise found that static stretches that last longer than a minute could be detrimental to performance.
Saying that, dynamic stretches and light warmups have shown to be helpful to activity performance and decreases your injury risk. One study from the Journal of Strength & Conditioning Research found athletes who practiced dynamic stretching had more range of motion than when they only did static stretches before practice. This is because dynamic stretching preps your body for work and increases range of motion and elasticity.
4. You Should Drink a Sports Drink After Exercising
"Replenish your electrolytes!" "Stay hydrated longer!" "Gives you energy!" These are all great marketing phrases and ideas associated with sports drinks, and they've worked. In 2014, there were 20.68 billion liters of sports drinks sold worldwide.
The problem is that most sports drinks are about the equivalent of drinking a can of soda. They're high in sugar, calories, additives, and sodium. Overall, there isn't any reason for the average person or most athletes to drink sports drinks.
There are times when sports drinks can improve performance, but these are high-intensity exercises that last longer than an hour (marathons and triathlons). See, sports drinks were designed to give athletes a boost of sugar and electrolytes to refuel the body during very high intensity sports where they wouldn't have a chance to refuel.
5. Treadmill running puts less stress on the knees
For some, running is the fresh air hitting your face and feeling the ground beneath your feet as you get to escape the craziness of work for a while. For others, it is pushing your speed up and the music in your ears to drown out the gym and the people around you.
Whether your preference is the treadmill or trails, you have probably had the argument on which is better for your joints and knees. People that enjoy running outside will tell you about how it is natural for the human body to run and the body will naturally adjust so that you absorb the shock of the strides. Those that prefer treadmills will remind you how concrete and asphalt doesn't absorb the impact of your stride like treadmills, which have padding beneath the belt that softens the blow. But who is correct?
The truth is that there is a risk to joint and knee pain with either option.
Even though treadmills are designed to absorb more of your impact, not all treadmills are designed equally. Cheaper versions (usually purchased for home use) rarely have enough padding to absorb enough of the impact to make a difference and a lot of gym treadmills don't have their belts or padding changed often enough. On top of that, most people tend to bounce more on treadmills and ends up increases the impact on the heel and knees.
The problem with running outside is that there is no shock absorption on concrete and asphalt, which over time can cause arthritis or pain in the knee and joints. Another problem with trail running is that the ground is rarely even and can cause extra stress on the foot strike.
The real truth is that if you have bad knees, you should probably consider an exercise or machine that has low impact such as an elliptical, rowing machines, or bikes. If you're set on running, make sure that you have good shoes with a cushioned insole and make sure to stop when you feel pain in your knees.
6. BMI is a Good Indication if You Need to Lose Weight
Body Mass Index, better known as BMI, has been around for over a hundred years and has been used by doctors and trainers to determine if a person is overweight. The problem with these numbers is that they are calculated using a ratio of your height to weight and doesn't measure the amount of fat vs muscle on your body.
Weight doesn't determine your health or even if you are overweight. There are many athletes that are considered overweight or obese according to BMI charts but are lean and have a body fat percentage well under twenty percent.
A lot of problems with BMI is that it doesn't take into account that muscle weight more than fat. Two men who are each six feet tall and weigh 215 lbs will have the same BMI, but the one with 10% body fat is a lot healthier than the one with 25% body fat.
If you really want to know if your weight is good, find out your body fat percentage.
7. The Calories Measured by Cardio Machines are Accurate
As you pump your arms and move you legs on the elliptical, you are awarded with the climbing amount of calories you are burning. Unfortunately, those calories counters usually overestimate a person's expenditure and are rarely accurate. In fact, one study found that the elliptical machine overestimates the amount of calories burned by 42%.
To truly figure out how many calories you burn doing something, the machine would have to take into account more than just your height and weight to give an accurate calculation. The calories you burn is also based on your age, gender, body fat percentage, heart rate, and BMR.
According to Mark MacDonald - personal trainer and author of "Body Confidence" - the numbers that cardio machines tell you "doesn't mean anything" since it's not taking into account your body composition.
A better way to monitor your expenditure is with a heart rate monitor so that you can see when you are starting to slack and when you are in optimal fat burning range.

new rocking chair
I'll admit it, I have a rocking chair fetish. This is my latest (not so new, now - I think I got it two weeks ago) acquisition: A bentwood rocker found at the Rotary rummage sale. It cost me $15. I sit in it every day.
Bentwood curlique. I like furniture that is useful AND looks beautiful. And that totally makes me wonder how they got the wood to bend like that.

Pinca de freio
The simple answer : they slow you down.
The complex answer : brakes are designed to slow down your vehicle but probably not by the means that you think. The common misconception is that brakes squeeze against a drum or disc, and the pressure of the squeezing action is what slows you down. This in fact is only part of the reason you slow down. Brakes are essentially amechanism to change energy types. When you're travelling at speed, your vehicle has kinetic energy. When you apply the brakes, the pads or shoes that press against the brake drum or rotor convert that energy into thermal energy via friction. The cooling of the brakes dissipates the heat and the vehicle slows down. This is all to do with The First Law of Thermodynamics, sometimes known as the law ofconservation of energy. This states that energy cannot be created nor destroyed, it can only be converted from one form to another. In the case of brakes, it is converted from kinetic energy to thermal energy.
Angular force. Because of the configuration of the brake pads and rotor in a disc brake, the location of the point of contact where the friction is generated also provides a mechanicalmoment to resist the turning motion of the rotor.
Thermodynamics, brake fade and drilled rotors.
If you ride a motorbike or drive a race car, you're probably familiar with the term brake fade which is used to describe what happens to brakes when they get too hot. A good example is coming down a mountain pass using your brakes rather than your engine to slow you down. By the First Law ofThermodynamics, as you start to come down the pass, the brakes on your vehicle heat up, slowing you down. But if you keep using the brakes, the drums or discs and brake pads will stay hot and get no chance to cool off. The next time you try to brake, because the brake components are already so hot, they cannot absorb much more heat. Once they get to this stage, you have to look at the brake pads themselves.In every brake pad there is the friction material which is held together with some sort of resin. Once this lot starts to get too hot, the resin holding the pad material together starts to vapourise, forming a gas. That gas has to have somewhere to go, because it can't stay between the pad and the rotor, so if forms a thin layer between the two trying to escape. The result is very similar tohydroplaning while going too fast in the rain; the pads lose contact with the rotor, thus reducing the amount of friction. Voila. Brake fade.
The typical symptom of this would be to get the vehicle to a stop and wait for a few minutes. As the brake components cool down, their ability to absorb heat returns, the pads cool off which means they have more chance to heat up again before the resinvapourises, hence the next time you use the brakes, they seem to work just fine. This type of brake fade was more common in older vehicles. Newer vehicles tend to have less outgassing from the brake pad compounds but they still suffer brake fade. So why? Well it is again to do with the pads getting too hot. With newer brake pad compounds where outgassing isn't so much of a problem, the pads transfer heatinto the calipers because the rotors are already too hot and the brake fluid starts to boil as a result. As this happens, bubbles form in the brake fluid. Air is compressible, brake fluid isn't, so you can put your foot on the brake pedal and get full travel but have no braking effect at the other end. This is because you're now compressing the gas bubbles and not actually forcing the pads againstthe rotors. Voila. Brake fade again.
So how do the engineers design brakes to reduce or eliminate brake fade? For older vehicles, you give that vapourised gas somewhere to go. For newer vehicles, you find some way to cool the rotors off more effectively. Either way you end up with cross-drilled or grooved brake rotors. While grooving the surface may reduce the specific heat capacity of the...

We Eat at Hooters, It Takes All Day by Victoria McArtor
Managing editor Tim Johnston: I've only been to one Hooters—the one in Traverse City during early November, a few months after the last cabin owners moved back to the South, that little bit of time where TC residents can have a moment alone before the peak months of snowmobilers and skiers (considering the snowfall is plentiful. They're always in a constant state of worry over another light season. I was an outsider, but a Michigander is a Michigander, so I understood.). That kind of despair survived the Hooters atmosphere, but people tried to lighten up anyway. From what I knew of the place, it was supposed to be warm, full of light, of happiness, of bar food and guilt-free ogling, but I left ashamed and misplaced. It had become a purgatory, an illusion of the obtainable. I never bothered to say anything until now because I never thought anybody would get it. McArtor may be the closest.
I ask my father what it was like to die.
"Angels regularly shed their wings, and that's what flower petals are," he says, but I remind him I'm not my baby sister and to shoot me straight.
He says, "Death comes first then the dying begins."
He says, "You spend more time dead than you spend alive. It feels like your foot falling asleep. A suffocation of wonder."
I ask and he says, "Heaven is crowded, and seashells are actually sarcophagi of the unmarked graves."
He says, "They like to be collected and displayed inside glass vases in bathrooms and think it's ironic when sold to tourists."
And I tell him it's time to get real.
He says, "Every Tuesday I get drunk to the gills on gin with my original platoon, and we watch the storms going."
He says, "Aristotle gives a lecture every so often."
He says, "At first you're excited to see everyone, then you talk and eat and drink and slow dance until everyone gets boring again. The future frames the past and vice versa. Refraction of daytime becomes reflection of the night and vice versa."
I ask him to play catch.
He says, "You won't need those skills in heaven."
He says I need to prepare for the long journey, that I should quit school and follow him around his favorite places for the living. We eat at Hooters, it takes all day.
On women he tells me, "Only make love because post coitum omne animal triste."
I ask for a cocktail napkin and if he could write that down.
I ask how much more of it I have, and he says, "Time is only a clock running through minutes faster than hours. Time extends the torso of youth; time quiets the mind of the elderly, then there's more time."
"Dad?" I ask. "Even though we don't need catching skills in heaven, can we still play because we like to play?"
He says, "Heaven can't possibly live up to your expectations and neither can I. There is not another side of desire beyond wanting. The wanting is empty and without limit. We call these things unquantifiable. Just enough is never enough."
I ask again just in case. He says, "Practice catching a star and throwing it to Jupiter, I'll be a few light-years from there. I'm renting a studio, but I'm saving to buy something soon."
I ask him if light years are quantifiable.
"If I find your star," he says, "I'll put it in a bottle and show you rain just before it rains."
I tell him this doesn't make any sense, but it sounds nice.
He looks around at the girls in the restaurant and asks, "Does your mother look older?"
I tell him dying comes first and then the death begins.
He stares at the girls, he says, "Haven't I done enough here, kid?"
He sucks the hot sauce off his fingers, drop by eternal drop.

The 3100 Spyder series is a variant of the 'cult' model of the Tonino Lamborghini Swiss Watches collection: the Spyder. Designed in 2008 by the Centro Stile Tonino Lamborghini, the Spyder model was created as a homage to the shield that encloses the famous 'Miura raging bull' in the brand's logo. The shield is the inspiration behind the design of the case, the bezel and many other details for all the Spyder models. The 3110 model is a quartz chronograph with Ronda RL 5050.B movement. The case is in polished/satin stainless steel; the bezel is in polished/satin stainless steel with Black-PVD treatment and screws in polished stianless steel, the second component is in satin stainless steel with Black-PVD. The dial has a matt black ground with a central part surface worked with a black bee nest pattern, date at 6H and Tonino Lamborghini brand's shield at 12H; the hands are nickel/red coloured with SPL. The special START/STOP buttons which are clearly inspired by the automotive sector are in satin/polished stainless steel. The letter 'L' of the Lamborghini family name is engraved on the crown. The satin/polished stainless steel strap is enriched with Black-PVD inserts with bee nest pattern. Like many quartz chronographs of the Tonino Lamborghini Swiss Made collection, the buckle is deployante and features the engraved Tonino Lamborghini name and a 3D shield.

Health & Fitness
Zumba, neon 5K, concert will be on tap for All-Star Weekend at Bayfront Park
The 2017 MLB All-Star Game takes over Marlins Park next Tuesday, and with it comes baseball superfans, hot dogs and all-American fun.
But before the long-awaited FanFest, Home Run Derby and autograph frenzy, MLB invites locals to bring on the neon for a weekend-long exercise party.
On Saturday, the Electric Run 5K will take runners on a sunset jog under the stars at Bayfront Park, ending with a dance party and concert with Grammy Award-winning rapper Lil Jon. Runners will experience five different neon-lit "worlds," with themes ranging from rainforest to sea life.
On Sunday morning, Zumba lovers can meet Beto Perez, creator of the dance empire himself, and sweat through a calorie-burning fitness party, also at Bayfront Park.
At last year's MLB All-Star Game in San Diego, the organization hosted a similar fitness weekend with a Color Run and a Soul Pose black light yoga party. The Electric Run and Zumba events, however, cater toward a Miami audience.
"We wanted to tap into the culture of the All-Star host city to plan this year's festivities," said Marla Miller, MLB's senior vice president of special events. "In discussing ideas with the Marlins and other local officials, we thought a nighttime 5K and a Zumba class in the park would connect really well with the vibrant South Florida community."
The two events are hosted in partnership with MLB, and will benefit MLB Charities to support youth baseball and softball programming.
If you go
- When: July 8-9
- Where: Bayfront Park, 301 N. Biscayne Blvd.
- Electric Run MLB All-Star 5K: Begins at 8 p.m. July 8. Registration costs $34.99 per person.
- MLB All-Star Zumba: Begins at 9:30 a.m. July 9. Registration costs $34.99 per person.

Do you have pets but love carpet? Many people believe that carpet is very difficult to maintain with pets, but that isn't necessarily true. There are some things that you can have your carpet installers do that can make your carpet installation last much longer.
1. Use Water-Resistant Padding
There are many types of padding for under your carpet. Most homeowners will choose whichever option is most affordable and most comfortable, but it's also a good idea to look for padding that is water-resistant and stain-resistant. Padding that is not water-resistant may soak up "accidents," and it may become very difficult to get that smell out of the carpet. Most steam cleaners don't reach down to the padding layer, so the smell may keep emerging.
2. Consider Berber Carpeting
Berber carpeting can be great for those with pets because there is less for fur to stick to. Berber is a smooth, closed-loop pile, and most dirt and debris will simply stay on top of it, waiting to get vacuumed up. However, there's one catch; Berber carpeting can be bad for those with cats if their cats tend to scratch at carpet. Why? Cats can unravel it; unlike other types of carpet, pulling at a string of Berber may continuously unravel its edge.
3. Install Under Door Tracks
If you're concerned about your pets clawing underneath your doors, consider installing a track. A track is a small strip—usually of metal—that just screws in over your carpet underneath your door. This is usually used to create a transition between one type of flooring to another, but it can also be used to secure the carpeting and to dissuade any heavy scratching.
4. Strategically Place Tile (Or Other Flooring Options)
There are a few areas in which carpeting is a very bad idea if you have pets, even if you want carpeting throughout the rest of your home. The entryway doors and backyard doors are two examples; pets will often run in and out of these areas, tearing up the carpet, and they will bring dirt and debris with them. Instead, make sure these sections are tiled (or use some other hard and easy to clean flooring).
Keeping a pet and carpeting doesn't have to be a nightmare! But it will take a lot of upkeep. If you're really worried about fur, dander, allergens and other issues, you might want to consider only carpeting the areas that you feel strictly need it, such as bedrooms.

++ An Inner Monologue ++
What am I doing today?
I'm going to feel nauseous.
I'm going to catalogue new recipes in my inbox.
I'm going to buy my father and my future father-in-law Christmas gifts on Amazon.
I'm going to go to Trader Joe's and buy bay leaves, salt, pepper, lemon poppyseed muffins, canned tomatoes, garlic cloves, parmesan cheese, naval oranges, spinach, gummy bears, and frozen pizza.
I'm going to take a taxi home, and my driver's going to get lost. I'm going to tell him to turn off the meter. I'm going to feel even more nauseous. I'm going to judge this driver, and then feel bad about it.
I'm going to put my groceries away, lie down on my bed, and will myself to stop feeling nauseous slash pregnant slash I'm going to have a slight freakout and wonder, "Am I pregnant?" No, I'm not. It's fine.
I'm going to heat up one of the frozen pizzas I just bought, and I'm going to eat it.
I'm going to do Jordan's laundry, because he always does mine, and it would be nice to return the favor.
I'm going to watch Viola Davis be sassy on "How to Get Away with Murder," and I'm going to think about how the actress who played Paris on "Gilmore Girls" is now on this show, and though she's thinner now, she somehow looks worse. Maybe it's her platinum blonde hair. Not the best color for her pretty face, her cheekbones. She should go back to dirty blonde, light brown.
I'm going to exercise in my apartment and possibly take the dog for a run if I can stop feeling nauseous.
I'm going to send a number of text messages to a number of different people who wouldn't recognize my phone number if it weren't saved in their phones and vice versa.
I'm going to wish I was better at memorizing phone numbers.
I'm going to shower, but not wash my hair or shave my legs. Shocker.
I'm going to sing all sorts of songs all over my apartment.
I'm going to love my dog and my cat.
I'm going to send emails with Jordan. We send emails together. Wedding emails in particular.
I'm going to have a drink with Jordan on our roof if it's not too cold. Otherwise, we'll have a drink while we watch TV. Some beer of some kind for him. Vodka soda for me. Or Coke Zero. Or maybe nothing.
I'm going to hug Jordan multiple times and feel lucky that we're together, and well, just love him the way I always do and he'll do the same.
I'm going to order a lot of Turkish food and eat a lot of it. A lot of pita bread specifically, but only if it's warm. I'm going to let Jordan have most of the hummus, because I'm cool like that and because his stomach is bigger than mine, and because I want the grape leaves, so there.
I'm going to surf Netflix with Jordan for too long, because we can't agree on a movie or TV show to watch. Maybe we'll watch something scary. We like scary movies, but suspense-scary, not horror-zombie-scary. I kind of hate zombies. Actually, I just hate them.
I'm going to brush my teeth with the electric toothbrush my mom got me. I'm going to remember that I need to pick up my new mouth guard at the dentist on Tuesday. Ew mouth guards.
I'm going to go on social media a few times, and get interested, and then get bored.
I'm going to fall asleep a lot earlier than I'd like to admit.
I'm going to dream about things I'm going to forget.
I'm going to wake up a few times in the middle of the night, and then I'm going to finally wake up on a new morning of a new day, and think What am I doing today? and it will start all over again.

IRVINE, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–$OPB #Civic50—Opus
Bank ("Opus") (NASDAQ: OPB) announced today it has been recognized
for the second consecutive year as one of the 50 most community-minded
companies in Orange County, California in the second annual Civic 50
Orange County. The Civic 50 Orange County evaluates corporate
civic engagement and recognizes companies that incorporate community
leadership and socially-responsible practices into their culture, which
engagement is measured and ranked by OneOC and the Orange County
Business Journal.
Stephen H. Gordon, Chief Executive Officer and President of Opus Bank,
stated, "We are extremely proud to have received this recognition for a
second consecutive year. To have Opus recognized as one of the 50 most
civic-minded companies in Orange County is a testament to the culture
that is deeply embedded in both Opus and its team members. What makes
Opus Bank special is its talented team members, and their community
leadership, service activities, and generosity give me a great sense of
pride. This honor is one that has been earned by our team members and
truly reflects their passion and efforts to improve the communities in
which they live and work."
To encourage and support community philanthropy, the Opus Community
Foundation was established concurrently with Opus Bank in 2010. Its
mission is to impact the lives of children and families living and
working in Opus Bank's service areas through grant awards, matching gift
donations, and volunteer service. The Opus Community Foundation has
awarded over 250 grants to Orange County nonprofits since inception, in
addition to numerous others across the western region. Opus team
members, together with the Opus Community Foundation, have provided
financial support to nearly 700 charitable organizations.
Katie Ellis, Executive Director of the Opus Community Foundation, added,
"I am very proud to be a part of the diverse team at Opus that is
committed to our communities and understands the value of giving back.
Opus team members consistently demonstrate their personal commitment and
leadership by volunteering their time and talent as board members and
advisors to Orange County-based community organizations such as: Mary
Erickson Community Housing, The Wooden Floor, WHW, Oasis Center
International, Orange County Grantmakers, Orange County Opportunity
Initiative, and SeniorServ, among many others up and down the West
Throughout the year, Opus inspires team members to continue
strengthening their communities by giving generously of their own time
and compassion through the "Great Works" volunteer program. Company
organized efforts include serving food to the hungry, tutoring at-risk
youth, teaching financial literacy, providing job skills trainings, and
organizing food and school supply drives.
Cindy Pulido, Vice President, Community Reinvestment Act & Fair Lending
Officer, stated, "In addition to the countless hours donated by our team
members, Opus has made over $595 million of investments that primarily
benefit low- to moderate-income communities throughout the bank's
footprint. These investments contribute to the vibrancy of our
communities by preserving and creating affordable housing, supporting
the growth of small businesses, and enabling our nonprofit partners to
grow and fulfill their mission of serving the community at large."
Community engagement is also encouraged through Opus' internship
program. Over the past year, 12 college-aged students and 4 high school
students gained experience in their selected field by working side by
side with senior management. They also attended professional job
training sessions, and to encourage philanthropy in their young and
developing careers wrote and presented grant applications to the Opus
Community Foundation Board of Directors for funding. In addition, each
high school student was paired with a college mentor to further engage
and inspire them to pursue their career. Opus Bank has employed over 100
interns since its inception.

Opening Day of Hunting Season Prompts Safety Warnings
October 3, 2011
Many Arkansas residents woke before sunrise Saturday morning to head out into the woods for the opening day of deer season. The start of the season also has officials with the Arkansas Game & Fish Commission (AGFC) reminding hunters about important safety practices.
Every year hundreds of individuals are injured or killed while hunting. Research by the International Hunter Education Association (IHEA) shows that most hunting accidents occur when hunters fail to properly identify their targets. Therefore, the organization stresses that hunters should wear blaze-orange when hunting. The AGFC actually requires all hunters wear at least 400 square inches of bright orange material to make them more visible in heavily wooded areas.
The IHEA also reports that another leading cause of accidents are numerous incidents of hunters accidentally "swinging" a firearm on a neighboring hunter. Experts say the best way to avoid this is to establish firing lines going out at 45 degrees from each hunter's side. This creates a "V" of safe zone for each shooter to fire into without harming anyone around him or her.
The Arkansas Personal Injury Lawyers with Rainwater, Holt & Sexton would like to wish all hunters the best of luck this season, and remind them to be safe by always double checking their target, wearing orange, and letting others know their whereabouts.

Brian McGuigan Wines (MGW) - $4.90: McGuigan Wines is currently in the middle of merger talks with Simeon Wines. Both boards are happy with the deal of 10 McGuigan shares for every 16 Simeon, so it's hard to see it falling through. We missed this merger opportunity that came after issue 87/Sep 01 (Take Part Profits - $4.10) but at $4.90, deal or no deal, it's looks expensive. That's not to say the price won't continue to go up but we think it's safer to SELL.
