Herzlich wilkommen!
Hello there, my name is Maria and this is the place where I mainly talk about myself and the things that interest me. People seem to find it to their liking, which is a fantastic treat for my feeling of self importance.
On a more realistic note...
This blog is about alternative fashion, music (mainly contemporary post punk) and the documentation of me exploring the subcultural life in Berlin.
I am fascinated by the alternative scene and write a lot about my observations in squats, 80s parties and live gigs. I also like to give the spotlight to my friends´ bands and their projects within the subculture.
Aside from that I love sharing my experiences from living in different countries, speaking different languages and facing cultural differences throughout life. It is an inevitable part of me and I write on the topic a lot.
About me...
I was born in Uzbekistan, grew up in Israel and it has been 3 years since I have accomplished my dream and moved to Berlin with my love, Boris.
I consider Russian and Hebrew as my mother languages, German my business language and English as my language for self expression.
If this has made you raise an eyebrow, then you might be interested in reading the Where The Hell Do I Come From post.
I have been writing a blog since I was 14. My first blog was in Israblog, and I´ve decided to continue it in Blogger in 2012.
I am currently studying social sciences at Freie Universität.
I am 25 years young.

Favorite music genres:

Although this time was a bit more. But that's ok, we just took a couple breaks and were still able to get these adorable shots! Just love these moments that we were able to capture of her!


text: On our last night in the Philippines we were surprised with a kamayan dinner! This is where you eat at a long table with your hands, on banana leaves. We had the most amazing fried peppers, that are called dynamite sticks. Barbecued pork, grilled fish, and grilled chicken. This was the first time our hosts, and local women, threw a kamayan dinner party for World Racers!

How The Web Impacts And Changes Civil Society
Your message has been received and you will be contacted by one in every of our advertising specialists shortly. Among those who have a favorite web site, the most popular websites are those of main nationwide tv information organizations equivalent to CNN and Fox, favored by greater than a third of on-line information consumers who named a favourite site. Individuals immediately routinely get their news from multiple sources and a mixture of platforms.
Headlines use dimension, bold, capitals, totally different font types, underlining and sometimes colour to draw reader's consideration to the newspaper article that follows. Then all that would need to be carried out is sending out and e.m.p. pulse or perhaps a nuclear warhead near an area the place power is being despatched to the internet to power it. Then destroy the satellites sending out waves of knowledge to various information centers.
Moreover, 36% of web customers say an necessary part of a information web site to them is the flexibility to govern content themselves corresponding to graphics, maps, and quizzes. Really I tend to learn most of my information on-line, as most nations have some form of censorship on the news. It offers the typical individual the platform to speak about anything they need without dependable sources.
We think that newspapers, tv and radio are compatible with Internet, and the duty of the journalist is look for new functions for this media. The preferred online information subjects are the climate (followed by eighty one% of web news users), nationwide events (73%), health and medication (66%), enterprise and the economy (64%), international occasions (62%), and science and expertise (60%).
The U.S. contract with the non-profit organization answerable for all Web domain names expires then, and the non-profit working the database will turn out to be autonomous and be accountable to international stakeholders within the Web community.

Been thinking a bit about practice, and where I should be spending my time in practice since I haven't shot a match in about 4 months. What are the areas that I need to work on? Probably everything, and if that's a thing, starting can seem overwhelming.
I mentioned on the podcast last week that I suck at lifting weights, but because I suck at it, I'm seeing tons and tons of progress, and that's really motivating to keep lifting weights. I can deal with the sore muscles and trouble walking up stairs because I'm seeing lots of progress.
So, back to practice:
Things that I suck really bad at, are the things that are motivating to practice. Hammering on table starts, and reloads from my rearmost couple pouches, etc, are things that I'm not good at, and I can spend 10 minutes practicing these things and see a LOT of progress.
However, Is spending a bunch of time working on table starts, when I only see one every few months really the best way to spend my time?
I got to thinking about this while listening to the most recent episode of the American Warrior Show this morning, where Mike Seeklander is interviewing John Correia from Active Self Protection. John watches videos of self defense scenarios. Thousands upon thousands of them.
In the interview he talked about how there are a lot of things that people talk about needing for concealed carry, that he's NEVER seen in one of the videos he's watched: things like a CCWer actually doing a reload in a gunfight. Things like a CCWer needing to use some sort of flashlight or weapon mounted light in a gunfight.
But yet, when we consult the tactical corners of the internet, there are tons and tons of people practicing and training on these sorts of things, so they will be more effective in a gunfight. That's not necessarily bad, but how much more effective would they be if they were to spend their time on the things that are most likely to happen and not the things that are the most fun or the sexiest, or the best for Instagram.
It was a great interview, and I think if you're at all interested in carrying a gun for self defense it should be high on your list to listen to this week.
What are the things that most stages require you to do:
Obviously there's a LOT more to practical shooting than these three things, but if we're talking about the handful of things that you can pretty easily work on and get really good at, and see the most result from, these are three pillars that should give you a good starting point.
Thing is though: They're not sexy. They're not necessarily fun to work on like some other things you can do, but if you don't know what you're doing, these are three things that will give you a lot of improvement in your game if you push hard on them.
So, the next time you catch yourself dryfiring 4-aces for 30 minutes straight because it's fun, maybe pause it, and work on some other things.
I have developed a strong interest in competitive shooting over the last year. I'm still working up to shooting my first match (Hope to have you a first match voicemail early in 2018). I've went and watched the November uspsa match at cggr and just this weekend went and watched the carbine only match there as well. I was wondering if you could maybe cover some of the terminology used so some of use newbies won't be so lost in the lingo. One I've heard a lot is the on deck, in the hole, and in the deep hole. What exactly does that mean? Other newbie things I think people would benefit from is the definitions of comstock and Virginia count. I know some of these can be found in the rule books but thought there may be other listeners who might benefit from a good explanation. Thanks for all that you do with the podcast and hopefully one day soon we might see each other at a local match.
On Deck: That means you're the next shooter
In the hole: That means you're the 2nd shooter
In the deep hole: means you're the 3rd shooter
Official definition from the USPSA Rulebook:
"Comstock" Rule number 9.2.2
"Unlimited time stops on the last shot, unlimited number of shots to be fired, stipulated number of hits per target to count for score."
Basically, shoot as much as you want.
"Virginia Count" Rule number: 9.2.3
"Unlimited time stops on the last shot, limited number of shots to be fired, stipulated number of hits per target to count for score."
Shoot only the exact number of rounds that you're told you can shoot. Shooting more will incur penalties for extra shots and extra hits.
I want to do a Q&A show next week, but to do it, I need your questions, I only have a few. So, if you've got a question like Thurmon, head over to triangletactical.net/question to submit your questions for next weeks Q&A show.

This was an interesting case on Directive 2003/35, which, as was well known, together with Directive 2003/4/EC, implemented the first and second "pillars" of the Århus Convention on access to information, public participation in decision-making and access to justice in environmental matters.
In short, this case was based on two different pre-litigation procedures. First, the Commission complained that the EIA Directive (Directive 85/337 as amended by Directive 97/11) had not been transposed by Ireland in relation to private roads. In 2001, the Commission registered a complaint against Ireland concerning damage to a coastal wetland at Commogue Marsh, Kinsale, County Cork (pictured) caused by a private road project. The Commission eventually brought the present proceedings, arguing that it appeared that no consent for the project in question had been granted and that no prior environmental impact assessment had been carried out despite the sensitivity of the site, contrary to the requirements of the EIA Directive.
The Commission considered that the construction of a private road constituted an infrastructure project that fell within point 10(e) of Annex II to the EIA Directive and that, as a consequence, the Irish authorities were bound, in accordance with Art. 2 of that amended directive, to ensure that, before consent was given, such projects were made subject to an assessment with regard to their effects on the environment if it was considered that they were likely to have significant effects on the environment.
In the second pre-litigation procedure, the Commission alleged that Ireland had not transposed (fully) the Århus Directive. The Commission inter alia argued that that no measure had been taken by Ireland to ensure transposition of the requirement of timeliness, laid down in Art. 10a of the EIA Directive, and in Art. 15a of the (first) IPPC Directive (Directive 96/61). The Commission also argued there was no applicable ceiling as regards the amount that an unsuccessful applicant would have to pay, as there was no legal provision which referred to the fact that the procedure would not be prohibitively expensive.
Lastly, the Commission criticised Ireland for not having made available to the public practical information on access to administrative and judicial review procedures, as required by Art. 10a of the EIA Directive and Art. 15a of the IPPC Directive.
Scope of EIA Directive
The Court held that although the Member States had thus been allowed a measure of discretion in specifying certain types of projects which would be subject to an assessment or to establish the criteria and/or thresholds applicable, the limits of that discretion were to be found in the obligation set out in Art. 2(1) of the EIA Directive that projects likely, by virtue inter alia of their nature, size or location, to have significant effects on the environment were to be subject to an impact assessment (see Case C‑72/95 Kraaijeveld and Others [1996]; Case C‑2/07 Abraham and Others [2008]; and Case C‑75/08 Mellor [2009]).
The Court held that, by subjecting private road construction development to an environmental impact assessment only if that development formed part of other developments coming within the scope of Directive 85/337 as amended by Directive 97/11 and themselves subject to the assessment obligation, the Irish legislation meant that any private road construction development carried out in isolation could avoid an environmental impact assessment, even if the development was likely to have significant effects on the environment.
Implementation of Århus Directive
With regard to the requirement to transpose the provisions of Art. 3(1) of Directive 2003/35, the Court reiterated that the transposition of a directive into domestic law did not necessarily require the provisions of the directive to be enacted in precisely the same words in a specific, express provision of national law and a general legal context might be sufficient if it actually ensured the full application of the directive in a sufficiently clear and precise manner (see, inter alia, Case C‑214/98 Commission v Greece [2000]; Case C‑38/99 Commission v France [2000]; and Case C‑32/05 Commission v Luxembourg [2006]).
The Court also reiterated that the provisions of a directive must be implemented with unquestionable binding force and with the specificity, precision and clarity required in order to satisfy the need for legal certainty, which required that, in the case of a directive intended to confer rights on individuals, the persons concerned must be enabled to ascertain the full extent of their rights (see, inter alia, Case C‑197/96 Commission v France [1997]; and Case C‑207/96 Commission v Italy [1997]).
The Court held that the scope of the new definition of "the public concerned" introduced by Directive 2003/35 could be assessed only with regard to all of the rights which that directive accords to "the public concerned', since those two aspects were indissociable.
The Court found that the Commission did not establish to what extent "the public concerned', understood as the public affected or likely to be affected by, or having an interest in, environmental decision‑making procedures, did not have the rights which it was deemed to enjoy under the amendments introduced by Directive 2003/35.
As regards the argument concerning the costs of proceedings, the Court argued that it was clear from Art. 10a of the EIA Directive and Art. 15a of the IPPC Directive that the procedures established in the context of those provisions must not be prohibitively expensive. That covered only the costs arising from participation in such procedures. Such a condition did not prevent the courts from making an order for costs provided that the amount of those costs complied with that requirement. This argument was therefore well founded.
The final argument of the Commission was also well founded. The Court pointed out that one of the underlying principles of Directive 2003/35 was to promote access to justice in environmental matters, along the lines of the Århus Convention on access to information, public participation in decision-making and access to justice in environmental matters. Therefore, the obligation to make available to the public practical information on access to administrative and judicial review procedures laid down in the sixth paragraph of Art. 10a of the EIA Directive and Art. 15a of the IPPC Directive, amounted to an obligation to obtain a precise result which the Member States must ensured was achieved.
The Court held that, in the absence of any specific statutory or regulatory provision concerning information on the rights thus offered to the public, the mere availability, through publications or on the internet, of rules concerning access to administrative and judicial review procedures and the possibility of access to court decisions could not be regarded as ensuring, in a sufficiently clear and precise manner, that the public concerned was in a position to be aware of its rights on access to justice in environmental matters.

California Wrongful Death Attorneys
Few accident claims are as stressful or catastrophic as a wrongful death claim. A wrongful death is any death caused by the careless conduct of another person, corporate entity or government agency. It can arise from any kind of personal injury case including medical malpractice, auto accidents, construction accidents, airplane disasters and others.
Each state has its own rules and procedures regarding how wrongful death actions are brought including who is eligible to bring the claim, who may recover compensation, if there are limits on damages and what types of damages may be awarded. For these reasons alone, a California wrongful death attorney is essential if you want to protect your rights to possible compensation.
The death of a loved one produces a wide range of emotions including anger, resentment, extreme grief, remorse, and often a desire for revenge on the responsible party. Attorneys from The Law Offices of Alex G. Tovarian are keenly aware and experienced in dealing with families who are trying to cope with such tragedies. We realize how essential it is to provide our clients assistance with all the legal issues involved in a wrongful death claim and how important it is that wrongful death actions be tenaciously prosecuted so that full financial recovery can be obtained.
Our firm retains expert economists and financial analysts because each wrongful death case has its own unique set of associated losses including lost wages, benefits, and the value of the loss of the love, care and companionship once provided by the decedent. Our experts assess these costs and lost future benefits and present them in present dollar value to derive the best possible resolution for our clients.
Damages in a Wrongful Death Case
The compensation awarded to those people who sue for wrongful death is intended to compensate them for the financial losses associated with the death of a spouse, child, sibling or parent. The types of damages available include the following:
- Income the decedent would have earned during his or her working life
- Funeral and burial expenses
- Loss of love and companionship
- Medical expenses, if applicable
- Pain and suffering, if applicable
- Punitive or exemplary damages, if applicable
Medical expenses and pain and suffering may only be awarded if the decedent survived for a time before succumbing. Medical malpractice cases associated with wrongful death typically limit non-economic losses. Punitive damages are awarded only if the responsible party's conduct was especially egregious or malicious and if the jurisdiction where the action is brought allows these types of damages.
Because the type of damages and the amount of compensation a person is entitled to in a wrongful death suit as well as who can recover compensation depends on the state and court jurisdiction where the death occurred and where the suit is filed, it is crucial that you consult with experienced legal counsel to learn more about your legal rights. The Law Offices of Alex G. Tovarian can help answer your questions about your potential wrongful death case.
Burden of Proof in Wrongful Death Claims
A wrongful death case is a civil matter, meaning that the burden of proof is that of preponderance of the evidence; or, for example, that it is more likely than not that a defendant was liable. Criminal cases require proof beyond a reasonable doubt, a much higher standard to meet.
Civil cases, unlike criminal matters, involve the award of monetary damages and not the loss of liberty. In most injury cases, the defendant is covered for monetary damages by his or her automobile, homeowners, general public liability or malpractice insurance.
Causes of Wrongful Death
Wrongful death can occur in a variety of ways. Some of these causes include the following:
- Automobile accidents
- Pedestrian accidents
- Motorcycle collisions
- Trucking accidents
- Construction site accidents
- Exposure to harmful chemicals
- Defective products
- Tainted drugs
- Negligent medical care
These are just some of the more common accidents that can result in a wrongful death action. If a loved one has been killed because of the careless or negligent actions of another party, you may be entitled to compensation.

The Tuamotu islands: Rangiroa, Manihi, Tikehau and Fakarava
The Tuamotu Islands forms the largest chain of islands and atolls in French Polynesia spanning the size of Western Europe. Comprising of 77 narrow coral rings encircling deep blue lagoons, the main islands visited in this region are Rangiroa, Manihi, Tukehau and Fakarava.
The Tuamotus boast some of the best diving spots in the world. With excellent visibility, a menagerie of colourful marine life and and fabulous drop off point where divers can "shoot the pass", adventures continue beneath the surface….
Rangiroa – The Endless Lagoon
The deep lagoon encircled by the atolls is a diver's paradise, with rich marine life that is set to rival the colours found above water. Here, you will experience a phenomenon known by experienced divers as "shooting the pass", described as the world's greatest adrenalin rush, where you will be carried by a rush of water between the ocean and the lagoon surrounded by seemingly millions of fish. Beyond the drop off and the reef are squadrons of eagle rays, schools of sharks and tuna. L'lle aux Recifs Beach, Paipro Point and the Mahuta area are known for their spectacular assortment of marine wildlife. However, you don't need to go anywhere in particular to snorkel on the atoll of Rangiroa, just walk out of your hotel and snorkel right off the beach at the front of your hotel!
Manihi – Island of Pearls
The island of Manihi is a farming destination – South Pacific style. While people all over the world regard farming in the traditional sense of livestock or fruits and vegetables, in the South Pacific, we farm pearls! Once, the crystal clear lagoon used to be filled with Mother of Pearl. Manihi was also the site of Tahiti's first black pearl farm and over the years, has become the leading supplier of Tahitian cultured pearls. Overwater bungalows present stunning vistas of the lagoon.
Tikehau – The Pink Sand Island
The island of Tikehau boasts the biggest population of fish amongst all of the Polynesian atolls. With a billion fishes for every human, Tikehau led the legendary explorer Jacques Costeau to declare it so. But what makes this place so special are its jewels thrust through a turquoise lagoon – blinding white sand and pink sand beaches!
Fakarava – Island of Dreams
Fakarava is the second largest atoll of the Tuamotus and circles a central lagoon. What makes Fakarava so special is that its pure natural environment has been declared a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, housing rare birds, plants and crustaceans. Its remote location, small population and pristine environment makes this the perfect place to chill out and spend quality time with your loved one. The lack of man made lights on the island ensures a spectacular light show every night, with the light of the moon and stars shining uninterrupted..

Maria answers more of your questions
Last Tuesday Maria Foy from Happy Mum Happy Child ventured down to Christchurch to our Monty Morning with LEGO DUPLO bricks. But beforehand we asked you guys to get your questions for Maria in on Facebook, anything that you would be keen to have her answer. She picked her top ones and voila she took over our Facebook page for a live Q&A session.
But there were so many good questions that didn't get answered so we got her to put pen to paper and answer a few more for you.
I've started a parenting blog and was wondering how you got your following base?!
Start by sharing with your friends, and then just do you - write about what you know and slowly with word of mouth your blog will get out there. It won't happen overnight but it will happen.
Does the success of your blog ever feel a bit surreal?
Absolutely it does! I often feel like a bit of a fraud because I'm just a girl from South Auckland who writes about the weird stuff she does with her kids. I never thought in a million years that people would be able to relate to it on the level they do.
What advice do you have about balancing family life for someone expecting their second child?
Just take it one day at a time and don't put too much pressure on yourself. Adding another person to the family will always be challenging - but it will be nothing like the first time. You already have the knowledge of parenting - so it becomes a bit of a juggling act. When the baby sleeps, perhaps play with your toddler. If you're feeding your baby, there's no reason your other child can't sit with you and see what's happening.
How do you cope on days you feel like it's too much?
I always just acknowledge within myself that it's "one of those days" and then communicate with my family. Even communicate with my kids - saying "I'm struggling a bit today so we're all taking it easy" isn't putting anything on your kids. It's just being honest with them. It can make a big difference when you get it out into the open. Then during the day don't put any pressure on yourself to do anything. Washing - who cares. Dishes - they can wait. Meals - just make it easy for you. Remember every day is a new day, and no two days are the same.

Stress Fracture on Foot and Its Symptoms
Generally, stress fracture happens when the muscles are already exhausted enough to absorb more stress and shock due to an extreme activity. The stress is transferred to the nearby bone which results to fracture.
Following are some of the symptoms felt when one is suffering from foot stress fracture.
- Intermittent pain: Usually, a stress fracture is accompanied with pain and this only subsides when at rest.
- Deterioration: If the fracture is not given attention or untreated, the pain will likely to progress. The pain can be felt when one has started to walk or run.
- Swelling and sensitivity: Swelling of the affected area may be noticed and this may signify foot fracture. Also, the foot becomes sensitive as pain is sensed when touched.
- Bruising: If one cannot bear weight on his/her foot means the fracture has become worsened. One may notice bruises on the affected part.
Stress Hairline Fracture Recovery Time
Stress fracture is a small hairline break on the bone which occurs commonly on foot and legs. Constant stress and pressure inflicted on foot makes it prone to fracture. While other types of fractures are responding well to traditional measures, some may require surgery.
When one is required to undertake surgery, recovery time may be determined based on the results of the post-surgery X-rays. Doctors recommend one to do following treatment regimen in order to recover immediately and prevent future problems.
- Take rest. Avoid doing any activity that causes stress fracture. Normally, it takes six to eight weeks for a fracture to heal. One can do some alternative exercises such as swimming and cycling as these do not place more stress on foot.
- Use protective footwear to decrease the stress on foot. This may in the form of stiff-soled shoe, wooden-soled sandal or a detachable short-leg brace shoe.
How to Treat a Stress Fracture Foot
Treatment for foot stress fracture varies depending on how severe the damage is. When the fracture is severe then it may require a surgical intervention. But if the fracture is mild then this can be managed by taking a rest. It is recommended that one is restricted to do some activities that cause further stress on the affected foot.
Since the stress fracture on foot does not heal properly, here are some tips to follow so as the fracture cannot become a chronic problem in the future.
- Eat healthy food. It is essential that one must eat foods rich in calcium to help in strengthening the bones.
- Do not immediately go back to intense workout when recovering as this cause more damage to the affected foot.
- When pain and swelling is seen and felt during an activity, stop the activity and consult a doctor at once.

The Black Wolf CrossFit Athlete of the Month: Dalila Lopez/
[By Erin Dinardo]
As a self-proclaimed couch potato and lover of television and potato chips, Dalila Lopez has transformed herself into an epic athlete, conquering challenges most only dream about.
The start of her journey was as a CrossFit gym that closed down a few months after she had jumped in. Once Dalila was without a CrossFit home, she began her hunt for her new pack.
After a quick Google search for 'crossfit gyms near me', Dalila found Black Wolf CrossFit and stopped in to check it out. She remembers parking on the wrong side and shining her headlights straight into the gym at the class working out and being nervous of Ben, but soon learning that even though he's tough, he was very welcoming. It's been over a year since then and Dalila has been integrated into the community and she continues to thrive.
Once she joined, Dalila was invited by Wendy, the coach of Black Wolf Racing, to join her program. With the help of Wendy, Dalila has run a half marathon, marathon and a 50k, all within the last few months. "I fell in love with it," she said. Running is now a favorite of Dalila's, thanks to the powerful racing community.
With all of the pr's and running achievements, Dalila's greatest achievement is her newfound confidence. Being apart of this community has given her something she hasn't had in a long time and she has battled depression since her dad passed away her senior year of high school. "I have felt really happy for the first time," Dalila said.
Dalila has found many ways to use her fitness outside of the gym too. She love the outdoors and hiked Guadalupe Peak in west Texas, which is at an elevation of 8,750 feet. Dalila also flexes her muscles when moving furniture for her mom or around her apartment and doing the grocery store bag farmer's carry into the house in one trip.
Dalila continues to grow into a strong athlete in the gym and outside. She's a caring person and easy to talk to. Her strength continues to grow, mentally, physically and emotionally. Oh, and she pr'ed her deadlift at 175 pounds on April 23rd.
What was your athletic background prior to beginning CrossFit?
I have no athletic background. I never played sports, I never did anything really. I was your typical couch potato. All I did was watched television and eat my family size bag of chips. I couldn't run without being out of breath or pick up a 15 lb bar over my head without it feeling heavy!
How did you get into CrossFit/Fitness?
Just few months before joining Black Wolf, my friend invited me to try CrossFit at another gym for the first time ever. After few months of joining that gym, they closed down. I knew I wanted to continue CrossFit so I started looking around. I went all over Houston looking for a new CrossFit gym but I didn't have any luck. The coaches in the other gyms I would go check out seem mean and I felt out of place.
One day I google "CrossFit gyms near me" and Black Wolf popped up so I decided to go after work. I still remember, it was dark outside and I parked in a wrong spot where people were running out from. My headlights were probably shining on the people working out. (Sorry Ben and people working out that day!)
Although Ben looked really tough, he was very welcoming! He showed me the two sides of the old gym and told me to try it out for a week. The coaches and the community made me love CrossFit and I have been doing it since.
What does being a member of BWCF/Fitness mean to you?
It means that I found a place where I feel welcome. The coaches want nothing but the best for you. You have an awesome community! When you are the last one and start panicking because everyone is done, well have no fear! Everyone stays to cheer you on!
It's @dali.jazmin's world and we are just living in it! Nobody has built as much confidence or achieved more than this amazing woman over the last few months. From finding a passion for running and finishing her first marathon just last month, to pushing outside of her comfort zone and working with 145# on today's workout. #Inspiration #motivation #rolemodel #shybutmighty #silentbutpowerful #sleeper #runner #crossfit #fitness #gym #houstonheights
What does being Athlete of the Month mean to you?
I just want to say I was in shocked when Ben emailed me! I was like, why me if there is many other awesome athletics in this gym. Now, as I'm reading and answering some questions, it made me reflected how far I come since day one. Even if I don't always see it, I'm happy about what I have accomplished and what I will accomplish in the future.
What's your greatest accomplishment at Black Wolf/Fitness?
As cheesy as this might sound, my happiness is my greatest accomplishment at Black Wolf. Without them I would still be depressed. I've been bullied for as long as I can remember. I had kids call me hurtful things, like fat pig or just tell me I was fucking ugly. This just made me have the worst self esteem ever and made me hate myself. My dad passing away on my senior year in high school, really hit me and I just fell in a deeper depression. I felt like shit and I was to the point that I wanted to take medication to help me with my depression.
Since joining Black Wolf, I meant so many wonderful people and I'm doing things I never would of imagine! Coach Ben teaching us about nutrition (which helped me loose weight) and always pushing me to be better! Coach Wendy training me to be a better runner! I don't think without her I would of ran a half marathon, marathon or a 50k! Coach Joel and Nikolle being great coaches, always there when you need help! The coaches, the community and my little accomplishments helped me feel happy about myself. Also, my self esteem has gotten better since! I'm not scared to wear shorts now!
What's one piece of advice you would give to someone starting CrossFit/Fitness?
Don't give up. You will get the movements and you will get stronger. You will be lifting weight you never imaging you could do. You will be able to run longer than before. Take it from someone who once thought it was impossible to do half of the things I'm doing now.
The End
[Interview and post written by Erin Dinardo]
If you wold like to change the direction of your own story, Black Wolf is the place to do it. We want you here and we want you on the way to the best life possible. For most of us, that just means living with more confidence inside of our own skin. And thats what we do here. We build confidence. We build your belief in yourself. You are amazing. Come and see!

CropLife America and RISE Promote Value of Science in Stopping Pest Threats
WASHINGTON, DC – CropLife America (CLA) and RISE (Responsible Industry for a Sound Environment)® have teamed up to promote the value of pesticide technology through a new video, Know Your Pest! The animated video depicts beetles, mosquitoes and other pest threats encroaching upon a farm and a city, only to be stopped in their tracks by "science and the wonder of pesticides." The final video tagline shares a fact upon which all consumers can agree: Nobody likes a pest.
Communication campaigns launched by CLA and RISE help to further explain the role that pesticides play in agriculture and in protecting public health. RISE shares information about specialty pesticides used in managing turf, stopping invasive species and preventing the spread of insect-transmitted diseases. Similarly, CLA's online video campaign, #GiveaCrop, encourages consumers to consider the importance of pesticide technology in growing healthy produce. Given the success of #GiveaCrop, CLA and RISE took the opportunity to partner to produce a video focused on the benefits of both specialty and agricultural pesticides.
"Consumers depend on farmers to produce nutritious food, free from pests and crop disease," stated Jay Vroom, president and CEO of CLA. "No matter the type of growing method a farmer chooses to use – including organic and conventional methods – crop protection products are a necessary and vital tool in any pest management plan. CLA's members remain dedicated to advancing crop protection technology so that our grocery stores can stay stocked with healthy options without pest damage."
"Specialty pesticides keep us safe and healthy as we go about our daily lives whether we choose a do-it-yourself product or hire a professional. Sharing that message is one of our goals with this new video." noted Aaron Hobbs, RISE president.

Bighorn River Trout Fishing ReportJuly 6, 2012 5:29 pm Leave your thoughts
We had a few days of really good hopper fishing this week, but with the cooler weather and rain last night the hopper bite slowed down today. It should pick up in the next few days again with more hot and dry weather on the way. There were quite a few small black beetles and ants around today that had fish interested.
The nymphing underneath has been good with pink sowbugs and PMD nymphs bringing the most consistent action. Midges and baetis nymphs are still working well on the upper 3 especially also.
Best Bighorn River Nymph Patterns: Pink Killerbug, Soft Hackle Sowbug, JuJu PMD, Splitback PMD, PMD Wondernymph, and of course the Ray Charles in both pink and grey.

Eh, not that funny
Your vids are kind of going downhill. This was kind of just all over the place, and not in the good way that your other vids are all over the place. Just random jokes here and there with 'nig' humor. Superb animation though. Not to be a jerk, but there was literally no sense or substance in this flash.
Points for going for an obscure game on the 32X though.

WWU Vikings
WWU volleyball swept by No.1 Tampa
Looking to learn from playing the best, Western Washington University was swept by nationally No.1-ranked and defending NCAA Division II national champion University of Tampa, 25-18, 25-19, 25-23, in the last match of opening-day play Friday, Sept. 4, at the University of Tampa Classic.
WWU, ranked No.24 in the American Volleyball Coaches Association Preseason Poll, fell to 0-2 after losing in three sets earlier in the day to No.9 Wheeling Jesuit.
"The difference between us and Tampa is that they play consistent from the first point to the last point and we have peaks and valleys," said WWU head coach Diane Flick (16th year, 317-87). "That's what we're going to do as a young team, but hopefully we're going to start evening that out."
Tampa, which improved to 2-0, was led by Berkley Whaley with 19 kills and 19 digs, both match highs, and Marissa Lisenbee with 16 kills.
"We have to set a benchmark for where we're at, and these kinds of teams will expose our weaknesses and that will help us grow," Flick said. "If we learn then it's great. If we don't learn, then it's a wasted trip, but I don't think it will be."
The Vikings got a match-high five blocks from middle blocker Kayleigh Harper (Oak Harbor) and a team-high nine kills from outside hitter Abby Phelps (R-Fr., Manson/Chelan). Both are redshirt freshmen. Setter Brette Boesel (R-Fr., Brewster) contributed 22 assists and seven digs and libero Bryce Larson (Jr., Mukilteo/Kamiak) had 11 digs.
"I thought that we passed the ball really well, so that we could run our offense," said Flick. "And we had eight blocks, which was good for us, and that was encouraging to see.
"We're really just one or two contacts away each time, so if everybody gives us one or two contacts better that will be a huge leap for our team."
On Saturday, Sept. 5, the Vikings meet Minnesota Duluth at 12:15 p.m. ET and Wayne State at 4:45 p.m.
"They're just as good as the teams we played today," Flick said. "There are no weak sisters at this tournament."

Long Term Health Insurance
It is never too soon to start thinking about long term health insurance and how you are going to provide for yourself when you retire. The earlier you plan and start putting money away the better off you will be.
When you start thinking about long term health insurance for your old age, you automatically think Medicare, mostly because we hear about Medicare every day. There are many things that Medicare does not cover and you will want to be prepared for them. That is why there are long term health insurance policies.
A long term care health insurance policy is an important addition to a regular individual health insurance plan when one begins to reach their 40's and 50's.
The Definition Of Long Term Health Insurance
Long term health insurance is basically a plan that will cover medical costs related to nursing home care and stay, and even in-home care for people who need it and do not need to leave their homes yet. This includes adult day care, home health caregivers, hospice care and respite care. The American Association of Retired Persons has reported that most elderly people believe that Medicare will cover these costs. Medicare will not. Currently nursing home care costs $181 a day or $66,000 a year for a private room and that cost is expected to rise.
The average stay in a nursing home is 2 ½ years. Consider this when purchasing your policy. Someone that requires 24 hour nursing home care for a cardiac problem is likely to stay is 16 months where someone with Alzheimer's Disease is likely to stay 8 years. You don't want to pay for more than you need but at the same time you want to make sure you are covered. A good medium is picking a four year policy. This isn't too long and it gives you and your family time to make arrangements after that time period.
Long Term Health Insurance: Types Of Long Term Health Care
Depending on your policy it will cover all or some of the following
Home Care – Home health care is given in your home by family members, friends, volunteers and/or paid health care professionals. This also includes in home hospice care for the terminally ill, as well as short term care that needs to be provided by a nurse or therapist.
Community Services – These are support systems like adult day care, having meals delivered, senior centers, and transportation services.
Assisted Living Centers – Assisted living centers provide 24 hour assistance for things like bathing or housekeeping, supervision, meals and health care.
Continuing Care Retirement Centers – Continuing Care Retirement Centers run the gambit of providing care based on the individuals needs over time. This care is provided in stages, independent living, assisted living and skilled nursing. The upside to this set up is it allows a slow and smooth transition for someone who is used to being independent to get used to needing help.
Nursing Homes – Nursing homes offer care for those people who can not be cared for at home. They provide 24 hour supervision, medical care, meals, rehabilitation care and assistance in daily living such as bathing and dressing.
Long Term Health Insurance: Choosing Long Term Health Care Policies
Look for plans that offer flexibility. A lot of long term health plans specify that you have to be unable to carry out three activities of daily living (bathing, eating, dressing, moving from bed to chair and back, going to the bathroom and maintaining continence) without assistance before you can use it. Others state two activities. These are the policies that are ideal. You also want to make sure that one of those activities is bathing because that is one of the first things that people need help with.
Look for a strong reliable company. Remember, you are buying a policy for ten to twenty years or so into the future and you don't want to purchase your policy with someone that may be financially shaky, who will be out of business in five years. You can find the ratings of insurance companies by checking out the Weiss Rating Database or other independent insurance ratings companies. Look for a company with a B+ rating or higher.
Make sure you have a policy that covers assisted living, home and hospice care, adult day care and respite as well as nursing homes. Not all polices cover all of these things.
Call around to health care facilities in your area to find out what their costs are and what it covers and what is extra. That way you can get an idea of how much coverage you should buy and for what. It's difficult to predict what you are going to need down the road. At the very least you want the basics covered and you want to know what those are.
Sit down with an independent health insurance broker or agent to help you decide what you do and do not need, and find the best price and policy.

Rendezvous At Greenhouse Five
You know how a work of art is an interactive experience? The artist, the writer supplies the piece, and it's up to the audience to activate it. It comes to life in the mind of the beholder. Architecture, one of my favorite forms of art, is no exception. I think that a building, a space is incomplete until such a reaction occurs, in which a person, upon viewing the scene, subliminally summons all the details needed to finish the picture.
Needless to say, spaces haunt me.
I stumbled upon this castle while driving past Arcadia's campus, and its resemblance to Hogwarts inspired the detour. It was nothing in the style of the castle. Just the fact of its having towers and turrets was enough to engage the Harry Potter reference. It wasn't until I made my way around the back of the building that I saw the castle in its full glory. This teal structure attached to the gray facade was exquisite to the point that I must have spent a solid fifteen minutes taking fifty variations on the same photo, just because each adjustment of two degrees in angle came with the promise that, maybe this time will do the beauty justice.
In my mind, it summons images of the Hogwarts greenhouses, and I can't imagine a dreamier place for an after hours rendezvous, when the premises are spared Professor Sprout's watchful eye.

This photo has prompted a number of people to ask how I managed to get stars in the day time. The trees and grass in the foreground are lit by a full moon, which also gave the sky the blue daytime look.

Travel Guide Ideas While Travelling to Chile
Few countries in the world like Chile have a mixture of nature around them. From the driest deserts of the planet and vaporous geysers in the north. We cross to a territory of snow peaks, glaciers in immense blocks of ice and tails of whale. Today we will provide a complete travel guide on Chile Trip.
Also emerging from nowhere lakes reflect smoky cones of still active volcanoes, large tracts of vineyards lost on the horizon and, of course, islands allow us to believe again in the 03existence of the impossible.
Pablo Neruda once said that "there is a certain pleasure in the madness that only the madman knows". In this case, that madness was called Chile, whom he loved looking out the window of his home on Isla Negra or traveling the world during his exile.
About Chile:
Chile is located in South Americ besides Argentina and is called Estrecho de Magallanes as well as the indomitable Chilean Tierra del Fuego. Over here your traveling friends can be whales, penguins and sea lions and the landscape of mountains, southern crosses, and mid-breaking glaciers.
The base to live an experience of this type can be the city of Punta Arena. From there go out to discover corners of which has taken over the wild fauna. In Magdalena Island, one can embark to admire Magellanic penguins.
Places to visit in Chile:
Francisco Coloane Marine Park
In the Francisco Coloane Marine Park bordering Riesco Island, Carlos III Island and part of the Brunswick Peninsula, large expeditions are carried out to observe, photograph and catalog humpback whales that go there to feed themselves because they prefer the nutrients of this area to those of Antarctica.
Torres del Paine National Park
Torres del Paine National Park is the capital of trekking in Chilean territory. The famous Horns of Paine or Gray Glacier are more than a 100% Patagonian icon. On the other side are the kilometers and kilometers of snow of the South Ice Field.
Los Glaciares National Park
The Los Glaciares National Park of Argentina is a short bird flight but on foot, it is an insurmountable wall. Fortunately, the hikers have in this place one of the best places in the world to practice their passion.
Osorno Volcano
The king of the Region of the Lakes is his Majesty the Osorno Volcano. From the shores of Lake Llanquihue it is admirable. In a city of past and German aesthetics like Puerto Varas. In the bucolic is toasting with the Chilean version of Mount Fuji of Japan. So when it is completely snowy, are those of a perfect volcano in Osorno.
Using Puerto Varas as a base you can border the Llanquihue and enjoy fascinating views that in the Saltos del Petrohue and its waterfalls in blue color became sublime and with the perfect view of the volcano the Lake of All Santos shows us a calm sea in the middle of the Andes. we will provide travel guide on Chile Trip in more detail in our next Article stay connected with us.

This article is brought to you by CIO in association with smartnumbers
Whether it's BYOD, COPE or another variant of the same theme, the issue of staff choosing and using their own technology for business is without doubt a CIO level issue.
According to Ovum, staff in 78% of UK enterprises now routinely use their own technology for work, while 80 of the UK's leading 100 UK CIO's are embracing BYOD and seeing tangible benefits ranging from cost reductions, enhanced business agility, increased staff satisfaction and more.
Demand for BYOD is only going to increase. The imminent launch of the Apple Watch and other wearable technology is certain to increase the number of requests from staff to open up the corporate email, calendar and directory services so that meeting reminders, notifications and even simple messages can be managed from their wrist. But why is it that early BYOD initiatives haven't driven many of the cost savings or other benefits that were promised from the outset?
Starting on the right path
Until now, the focus of early BYOD initiatives has been the data aspect of BYOD – how to enable staff to connect their personal laptops or tablets to the corporate network. By necessity, this focus brings with it the requirements to deploy MDM / EMM technology to secure and protect the corporate network while permitting staff to connect using their own devices.
The rollout of MDM/EMM, and the support for the additional security layers that this entails adds complexity and cost to the BYOD initiative that quickly eats up any savings that might be realised by staff bringing in their own laptops or tablets.
That is why many business cases for BYOD that started with laptop and tablets have yet to show a clear ROI. Instead the focus has had to be on the softer, more intangible benefits of increased productivity, staff satisfaction and organisational agility. While these benefits can be very real, they are hard to quantify for CIO's and therefore the business cases supporting these can be challenged.
However, evidence is growing that the single best place to start for any corporate BYOD initiative, and the one with the greatest business impact, is not with a focus on personal laptops and tablets, but instead with the humble smartphone. There are many reasons why this is the case.
Leading BYOD with the smartphone
Firstly, if an organisation can avoid the need to provide business mobile phones to staff then, unlike many BYOD initiatives, there is a clear and unequivocal cost saving. After all, avoiding the cost of providing a tablet presents a modest one-time capital saving for the business, whilst the average cost of an enterprise mobile phone is £35 - £45 per month, with some staff spending considerably more.
As such, the corporate mobile becomes an open chequebook and it's not usually clear just how much has been spent until the monthly bill arrives. Add to this the upgrade, replacement and repair costs and the corporate mobile estate can eat a significant chunk of a CIO's budget. So, if this cost can be avoided, or reduced by BYOD, then it can become the foundation of a solid business case.
Secondly, starting the BYOD journey with the mobile phone can also be the simplest place to start, since in many cases there is no need to connect the mobile phone to the corporate data network, and therefore the cost and complexity of MDM/EMM can be avoided.
The third reason to start with the corporate mobile phone is that it stands the best chance of adoption by staff themselves. The smartphone is the one item of technology that individuals feel most strongly about. One only needs to look at the after-market of mobile phone cases, accessories, ring-tones and screen savers to realise how deeply many people feel about their phone.
While the smartphone may be viewed on the Executive floor as an important communications tool, for staff themselves the smartphone has become a part of their personal brand. Therefore, by enabling their personal smartphone for business use, and avoiding the need for staff to carry a separate phone for business, this approach stands the best chance of adoption.
BYOD or COPE. Two requirements, one solution
The challenge is therefore how to enable a single smartphone for both business and personal use by effectively providing a separate mobile number for each, managed on the same device.
In this context, it doesn't matter whether the organisation is adopting a strategy of BYOD, asking staff to provide the phone, or a strategy of COPE, whereby staff can choose their mobile phone paid for by the company. The requirement to support both a business and personal mobile identity on one phone is the same for both strategies, irrespective of who actually owns the handset.
But while the need is for two numbers on one phone, why has this not been a reality until today?
Is VoIP the answer, or is it another four-letter word?
Earlier attempts at providing a 'dual-persona' mobile capability have been based on VoIP services - adding a second 'VoIP number' onto the smartphone which can be used wherever there is a good Wi-Fi or IP connection.
However, this approach is quickly discarded as being not fit for purpose as the primary number to be used for business since VoIP services such as Microsoft Lync, Skype, Jabber and others suffer a number of common shortcomings.
Firstly, they require a strong broadband or Wi-Fi connection that cannot be guaranteed even within an office, let alone when the user is out of the office or travelling.
Secondly, they require a client to be loaded and running on the user's smartphone which is not always going to be the case. One simply needs to reboot the smartphone, run out of battery or upgrade the operating system only to have the VoIP client wiped from memory, and with it the ability to receive calls.
Furthermore, the GSM signal on the smartphone always takes priority over the data connection, so if the user is in conversation on a VoIP client and a GSM mobile call comes in then this will automatically drop the VoIP call without notice.
There are many other reasons besides, including the fact that most VoIP clients don't support SMS, they drain batteries and take up large amounts of space, so as a solution for a second mobile number on one handset they fall well short of business requirements.
GSM = Business Class
In fact, the only credible solution for business mobile communications both today and in the foreseeable future has to be based on GSM. GSM provides the broad, blanket coverage required for business, with cell-handover, roaming and other essential services for the mobile user built it. Even in places with no data coverage, there will usually be the ability to establish a GSM connection.
The problem is that, until today, there could only be one single GSM mobile number associated with a mobile handset and as a result organisations have had to give out a separate business mobile even though most staff have a perfectly good mobile phone of their own.
Two GSM Numbers, One Mobile
That's where smartnumbers mobile comes in. smartnumbers mobile is the first 'dual persona' service in the UK that enables two full GSM mobile numbers to sit side-by-side on the same handset. The service works with all UK mobile networks and carriers, allowing individuals or organisations to select their mobile network operator of choice, and then overlaying this with a second mobile number, a smartnumber, for business use.
In this way, the native mobile number associated with the SIM can be used for personal calls, and will be billed automatically to the individual. The second mobile number, the smartnumber, can be used for business calls, with all call charges automatically billed to the organisation. Both are full UK mobile numbers, in-bundle and in-tariff with all UK mobile operators, and with full support for SMS. The experience for the subscriber and caller alike is identical to that when using a separate dedicated handset for business and personal use.
Therefore, it doesn't matter who provides the handset and the SIM, whether it is a staff owned mobile phone as part of a BYOD programme, or a company provided phone as part of a COPE strategy. The ability to have two separate GSM mobile numbers on one handset is a game-changer for the organisation and staff alike.
Benefits to the organisation
There are many benefits that the dual-persona mobile phone solution presents to organisation.
First and foremost are cost reductions, since there are often considerable savings to be had by removing the need to provide staff with a dedicated business phone and instead having them use their own.
The second benefit is that separate billing for personal and business calls is built-in, meaning that expense management is reduced and exposure to the tax implications of the business subsidising personal mobile phone calls are eliminated.
A further benefit of this approach is number retention, so as staff leave, the organisation retains the mobile number which they can simply reallocate to the next person in that post. Staff no longer have to give out their personal mobile number, so the risk of customers continuing to call them when they have left the organisation or joined a competitor no longer exists. With smartnumbers mobile, the business mobile number stays with the organisation.
Benefits to staff too?
For any IT initiative to be successful it has to be embraced by staff. Organisations that try to force change to benefit the organisation but which don't benefit staff run the risk of the initiative not being embraced or adopted.
With smartnumbers mobile, there are many benefits to staff as well as to the organisation.
Firstly, and most visibly, with smartnumbers mobile, staff no longer need to carry two phones. By avoiding the need to carry both a personal and a business mobile phone life is made simpler and less cumbersome. The issues of carrying two devices, charging them, managing messages on each and maintaining separate directories disappear. With smartnumbers mobile, staff need carry only one phone.
Secondly, with smartnumbers mobile the privacy of staff is assured. While the organisation can have visibility of business calls, all personal calls remain private. Furthermore, the private time of staff can be protected if calls to the business mobile number are set to only ring during business hours, while calls to the personal number can ring at any time.
And while the issue of split billing is a benefit to the organisation, it is also a staff benefit too, negating the need for staff to trawl through their mobile expense call loggers and identify which calls were business and which were personal.
Mobile call recording built in
But the benefits don't end there.
smartnumbers mobile supports full mobile call recording of all incoming and outgoing calls and SMS messages to the business mobile number, whilst protecting the privacy of staff on their personal mobile number. Therefore, it doesn't matter if the business calls are being recorded for compliance, best practice or dispute-resolution, smartnumbers mobile ensures that while business calls are recorded, personal calls remain private.
Time for Change
Sometimes the simplest ideas in business are the most effective. Enabling two mobile numbers on one phone is a case in point. Eliminating the need for organisations to provide business mobiles, and thus increasing productivity and reducing management costs are clearly beneficial for any organisation.
Combined with the ease of implementation and simplicity of use, adopting smartnumbers mobile is an easy decision for businesses, whether they are embracing BYOD, COPE or just looking to provide the best business tools for their employees.

This month, Hein Online has added the McGill guide to its citation tool. This means that in any Hein Online document, users can press the "Cite" button-located above the table of contents-which will then provide the document's citation in multiple citation formats, including the McGill guide.
The citation is not perfect however. A McGill citation for one document looked like this:
Daniel Perlin, "Chat Reference: A Must Have for Academic L Libraries." (2010) 35:1 Can L Libr Rev 20
The title of the document was not cited in full form as it should be in McGill, so you still need to ensure its accuracy before you input the citation in research papers. However, it is certainly a much-needed help in citing sources.

Discussion on how Upper Level Jet Streaks can lead to enchanced Rising or Sinking air (By Raymond Bacek)

Discussion on how Upper Level Jet Streaks can lead to enchanced Rising or Sinking air (By Raymond Bacek)
The first image should be pretty self-explanatory. All it is showing is a view of an idealized jet-streak (just like the one Frank posted on the last page at H2), divided into four parts. These are labeled such that you are flying along in the jet itself (hence, as you enter the jets western side, to your left is the left-entrance region and to your right is the right-entrance region). Now, as the wind (geostrophic/regular wind we think of when looking at this level) comes into the western side of the jet-streak, it experiences a relatively large net change in speed (acceleration.......that's why it is called a jet-STREAK) over a relatively short distance. However, the atmosphere does not like these changes because of the force balances that it is governed by, and so tries to maintain these balances by the only way it knows how: Vertical motion. How does it do this? Well, if the actual wind is being accelerated by the jet-streak which then takes it out of balance, then the only way that the atmosphere can slow it down and bring it back into balance is to slow it down. To do this, the atmosphere "generates" a secondary "wind" called the ageostrophic "wind" that opposes the acceleration of the regular wind by "blowing" in the opposite direction (think of walking into a head-wind....a lot harder than going with a tail-wind, right?). However, as this "wind" is "blowing" against the regular wind, as it does so, it is "moving" across generally large horizontal distances; large enough that it becomes influenced by the Coriolis force, which acts to deflect things to the right in the Northern Hemisphere.
So now picture this "wind" moving against the regular wind but also being deflected to the right as it does so. Also picture that this wind decreases to nothing (ideally) as you move further away from the jet-streak in any direction. If you can do these two things, you will see that the ageostrophic "wind" converges in the left entrance region of the jet-streak (again, think of yourself flying into the western side of it). Because of this convergence, and assuming that the Tropopause (which is not too far above this level) is an impermeable layer....if the winds are converging here, then THEY MUST CONVERGE AND SINK. This causes large-scale subsidence in the left entrance region of a jet (in the Northern Hemisphere). If air is sinking, air also has to rise (conservation of mass). Remember how the ageostrophic "wind" "blows" against the normal wind and is then deflected to the right??? This leaves an area of divergence in the right entrance region....if air is spreading out here, then it must be getting replaced by air below it: large-scale ASCENT!!! Now, the last thing I want you to try and picture (refer to my second image) is taking a slice across the jet in these areas. If you can do this, you will find that the warm air (in the right entrance region) is rising and the cold air (in the left entrance region) is sinking. This is known as a thermally direct circulation.
For the exit regions (eastern side of the jet-streak, left and right, again with respect to you flying in the jet), these processes are reversed. Instead of the regular wind speeding up, it is now slowing down as it exits the jet-STREAK, and again, the atmosphere does not like this because it is being thrown out of balance. So, again, here comes the ageostrophic "wind", which still opposes the net change in speed of the regular wind (which is deceleration here). However, this time, that means it is "blowing" WITH the normal wind (think of walking with a tail-wind now, and it is trying to "bring the regular wind back up to speed", so to speak). The Coriolis is still able to act on it, so it is again deflected to the right. Since the ageostrophic "wind" still decreases to nothing the further away from the jet-streak you look, you end up with a circulation such that the right-exit region sees the convergence and the left-exit region sees the divergence (again assuming the Troposphere is impermeable). Where there is convergence of this "wind", there is again large-scale sinking motion, and where there is divergence, there is large-scale ascent. Looking at another cross-section (again, refer image two), you will find that cold air in the left-exit region is now being forced to rise, while the warm air is being forced to sink. This is called a thermally indirect circulation. Basically, this causes two opposing cross-jet circulations on the western and eastern halves of the jet, respectively, which are what are referenced when "jet dynamics" are mentioned in discussions.
I know this is long, but I hope it helps lol
Here Doc, and for anybody who read but did not understand: I tried conveying the information that I wrote out in these two graphics. Please let me know if they help. Also, there are added forcings that play into these circulations, but the ones that you see here are the ones that are MOST responsible for the circulations associated with upper-level jet-streaks. Again, the stronger the changes in speed over shorter distances, the stronger these circulations become. If you would like to see the other forcings that are involved, let me know and I will explain those as well.
