ON AIR - Night Time Network
Broadcaster Bill O'Herlihy has passed away at the age of 76.
He died peacefully at home this morning.
The well-known Cork man retired as RTE's main sports presenter last summer - after almost half a century. He covered 10 World Cups and 10 Olympic Games - he also presented the first Rugby World Cup on RTE television and the very first Sunday Game in 1979.
He had a heart attack in 1984 and needed a major operation in 2007 because of a colon cancer tumour which he recovered from to resume his place as anchor of RTE's soccer coverage. He's survived by his wife Hillary and his daughters Jill and Sally.
Soccer pundit and long-time friend and colleague of Bill, John Giles, says the news has come as a great shock:

So what ingredients go into making a "cult horse"?
A horse with the type of wild popularity that transcends the sport and reaches into the mainstream, that brings people back to the track.
Well, judging by the oohs, ahhs and eventually wild cheers that emanated from the Sha Tin faithful during and after Pakistan Star's electrifying win on Sunday, this rising star has fan-favourite and marketer's dream written all over him.
The "oohs" were when Pakistan Star flopped out of the gates last, the "ahhs" came after the horse latched on to the field and started making ground and the cheers were for one of the most memorable finishing sprints ever seen by a backmarker at Sha Tin.
So let's count the ways Pakistan Star is working his way into the hearts and minds (and wallets, of course) of race fans - for it takes more than just ability, even of the freakish kind this horse is showing, to earn true cult status.
He did it again! Pakistan Star blundered the start and blew past them all. Final 400 in 21.44. Watch this! #HKracing pic.twitter.com/bYF1Hb4znH— HKJC Racing (@HKJC_Racing) September 18, 2016
Some type of quirk and idiosyncrasy helps, and Pakistan Star has plenty: first and foremost his tendency to miss the start, which results in a heart-in-mouth, come-from-behind pattern. Then of course is the ability to rattle off final sectionals that very few horses can match - it's a very watchable package - especially for the novice fan.
You also need a backstory to capture the public's imagination - and how many do you want with a horse that transforms from lazy, lumbering giant to 1,100-pound rocket ship in the space of a few strides?
You've got the horse's trainer Tony Cruz; handler of Hong Kong's greatest ever horse, Silent Witness, winner more races than anybody in Hong Kong - counting wins as both jockey and trainer - and by far the most popular racing identity with locals. Then there's jockey Matthew Chadwick; the comeback kid, Cruz's protégé and one-time "next big thing" out to fulfil his own destiny as a champion senior rider.
So trainer and jockey; check, check - but then there is one from left field and a real X factor, the owner Kerm Din, a Hong Kong-based Pakistani businessman who has been blown away by his horse's popularity in his homeland.
Social media phenomenon, internet sensation, call Pakistan Star what you will, within minutes of the three-year-old barrelling through his last 400m in 21.44 seconds (for non-racing fans wondering what that means, it's quick), the horse's second freakish win had already been liked, shared and retweeted hundreds of times. Who knows, maybe there was a kid in Islamabad who is now wondering what this horse racing stuff is all about.
The horse is sure to be even more of a hit in Pakistan now that he is rocking green and white blinkers with hood, featuring the white star of the proud nation's flag on the front, and word is there is already a Pakistan Star "plushie" in production (that is a stuffed toy in the horse's likeness, for those not up on the lingo).
Scary part about this second win was that a few paddock watchers reckoned Pakistan Star was as soft as a stuffed toy, with a bit of a belly, and there are those other areas the youngster can improve in terms of focus.
This horse is a real character; Pakistan Star stubbornly dug his heels in when jockey Matthew Chadwick first went to the barriers, bringing back memories of the horse's first ever-public appearance at Sha Tin.
That was back in March when the then three-year-old almost refused to as much as canter before the Hong Kong International Sale.
Maybe Pakistan Star will overcome these worrying characteristics and woeful starts - and the son of Shamardal will have to if he is to fulfil the 2017 Hong Kong Derby destiny already mapped out for him - but for now it helps create the type of sporting theatre horse racing is best at producing.

A bathroom is a great place to wash your problems. If you are able to decorate your bathroom with modern accessories, it will surely be converted into the comfortable area of your home. If it's a small bathroom, it will make it look dark.
Vanities are an essential part of contemporary bathrooms. It is clear that the vanities are certain to improve the appearance and style of each bathroom. At present, there are several bathroom vanities on the market and at some point, but the decision is wide and can make you uncertain about which products to select.
The lighting is quite critical and aims to provide a dignified and sufficient environment to allow the user to effectively use the bathroom. Internal and external lighting is extremely important, but most people do not observe that there is poor lighting before trying to complete a task. Lighting Design Tips Bright lighting is ideal for the mornings once we have to feel really ready and ready to attack the day. Indirect lighting is best used when you are trying to illuminate a complete space with a few lights. As soon as you know what kind of lighting you need, you can start shopping. Decorative Lighting Lighting does not have to be utilitarian.

There are plenty of desperate migrants ready to put their last penny to gain residency in New Zealand.
The only difference is the level of desperation.
All of us have heard about migrants who slave up to 80 hours a week but receive payment for only 20 hours. We have also heard that they would go to any extreme lengths including payment of large sums of money to their employers to get residency.
It is illegal for employers to charge or receive money for sponsoring or supporting permanent residence applications of migrant workers.
Corrupt practices
You may have read or heard about a new immigrant who paid a dairy owner $30,000 to manipulate the documents required by Immigration New Zealand (INZ) for issue of permanent resident visa.
Apart from complaining bitterly and blaming employers for being corrupt, we have not bothered to find out why this really happens.
How did it come to this dismal stage?
The truth is that we have turned a blind eye to such problems, just as INZ officials did, even after knowing that these practices have grown to scandalous proportions.
Relaxed rules
INZ has in fact been steadily relaxing the rules for international students as far as the minimum requirement of the English language is concerned to enter the country. The International English Language Test (IELT) is no longer mandatory.
Earlier, a potential migrant had to show the required funds in his or her bank account with an explanation of their source. This requirement has also been removed. No one wants to know how you got the money as long as you show a good account balance.
Misleading Agents
Unfortunately, students are caught in the web of deceit as they are being completely misled by the student agents overseas.
Some overseas agents tell students who want to pursue engineering or higher studies in New Zealand to merely enrol for a short-term course in smaller institutes that proliferate in almost all important parts of our cities.
Approval of Visas for these studies is faster and easier. Institutes that look great on the web are out to make a quick buck. Their modus operandi is to offer student agents 50% cut (sometimes a higher percentage) making their courses and programmes cheaper compared to universities of repute that offer only a small percentage of commission.
On the other hand, students wanting to change their career to pursue a course in areas declared under the Skills Shortage List are being hoodwinked. INZ declines applications of a majority of students who graduate through these cheap courses and programmes.
Dodgy Institutes
Little wonder then, that unscrupulous agents recommend institutes that are run by fly-by- night operators. The New Zealand Qualifications Authority (NZQA) has shut down many of these dodgy institutes for non-compliance of the regulations in force.
Sadly, even bright students who had initially set out to do an engineering degree end up enrolling in low value courses that do not get them jobs only in the fast food industry.
A few others work for companies owned by migrants. The cycle of exploitation continues unabated.
Unfair practices
Things get worse when the student applies for residency and INZ informs him or her that their existing job does not count. The noose around their neck tightens, forcing them into illegal activities in order to stay put in New Zealand.
There are also cases of young migrants (both male and female) entering matrimony as a 'better route' towards permanent residence. Fake marriages and 'Marriages of Convenience' are also on the rise.
The government lures international students to study here to increase its revenue through export education. INZ officials look at student visas and residency permits as two different issues.
But to many migrants, student visa is a route to gain employment and residency. It therefore comes as a rude shock when they are told that their application has been declined. Apart from losing substantial time and sums of money, these students and migrants reach their wit's end.
Unabated fraud
Why does this scam continue?
I have met scores of disparate students who have said that while their primary interest was pursuing professional courses such as engineering, their agents in India encouraged them to enrol in low quality courses.
It is a pity that their families back home have gone in to huge debt to fund their college fees and the 'ransom' money demanded by their local employer to help in their residency application.
If adequate guidance was provided initially, the amount invested by these students from start to finish could have easily got them an engineering qualification. These graduate engineers could have then been employed in Christchurch rebuild.
INZ clarification
INZ should clarify whether an entry-level course will slim down the student's chances of getting a job or residency. There should have clear-cut rules and regulations so that young men and women are not taken for a ride.
The authorities should decide whether the country needs just numbers or students who are serious about their studies. They should also take action against rogue agents.
Unscrupulous people should not be allowed to meddle with the education and the future of the student community.
Every year, thousands of young men and women arrive in New Zealand with dreams and hopes. It is our combined duty to ensure that they are led in the right direction and not exploited by the agents, employers and worst of all by the system.
If New Zealand can attract the right type of students who concentrate on their studies and obtain qualification, we can solve the skills shortage problem on the one hand and end their exploitation on the other.
We should stop chasing the victims, while allowing the offenders a field day.

As you read this, our children and young people will be settled back into education and the ordinary time of life will have resumed. But breaking into that will be two contrasting festivals this month: Halloween, immediately followed by All Saints Day.
At Halloween, the emphasis is on death and fear, subverting the conventions of orderly life and human relating. It is marketed, and at its best can be, a time of community and family fun, dressing up in costumes, collecting sweet treats from neighbours, being out in the dark within a safe circle of friends and family. But at its heart is fear and terror of the unknown, of witches and ghosts, a supernatural connection with darkness.
To be afraid is to display a lack of trust in God and to believe that somehow He is not going to get things right. There are two types of fear mentioned in the Bible. One can be translated as "awe": reverential respect and wonder. The other is the sense we're most familiar with. While a spirit of awe is of God a spirit of fear is not. God does not teach us to be afraid.
All Saints' Day celebrates those who have lived out the opposite of fear: like them we are to love our enemies, do good to those who hate us, pray for those who mistreat us, love others as we love ourselves. The Saints show us an alternative, radical reality in which we too can dare to trust God's promise that we can transform the society in which we live by the way we live.
The Bible tells us Heaven is like being at a wonderful feast where everyone is having a good time. It is a place where there is no crying or pain or mourning. Heaven is a place where God's power and love have the last word over all the unhappy things we have to face in this life, as well as being a place where our sins and weaknesses are banished forever.
We get to Heaven by God's grace but the message of the Gospel is not only about salvation through grace but also a call to be the best we can be, to use our lives here on earth by loving God and others as best we can: a challenge to walk the walk and not just talk the talk and to build Heaven right here. God calls fallible people, you and me, to follow him and Jesus' teaching is not about keeping people out of heaven, it is about including them, and there is hope and promise for all of us, despite our personal weaknesses and flaws and the number of times we mess up.
Saints are those who have transformed the world around them through their faith by actively and intentionally living out the teaching and good news of Jesus in the world in which they lived. Think about our villages of Charing, Charing Heath, Egerton, Hothfield, Little Chart, Pluckley and Westwell, the people who faithfully do good for others quietly and without the desire to be praised, the people without whom communities would fall apart. They are saints.
So as we journey through October let us be assured that God loves us as we are, along with our desire to become the best we can be. Let's see beyond people's imperfections, differences and the things that wind us up and look for the things in them that show us God in them and be humble enough to aspire to what they have. God promises us that He will welcome us to rejoice with each other and with the Saints and tells us that our immediate task is to build this heaven through our lives here and now.

great date nights! I LOVE QT :)
May I also recommend Secrets of the Baby Whisperer - I read Baby Wise and when my baby wouldn't sleep the alloted 1.5 hours during the day I cried for days until I found Secrets - same concept as BW but allowed for flexibility - which we needed. She was sleeping through the night (12 hours) at 10 weeks, my youngest who I started on day one with Secrets - 6 weeks :) You are going to get tons of advice I am sure - do what is good for your family, but I loved the book (and I am very structured and thought BW was for me!) and wanted to share.

Love that video!
Also, check out "Happiest Baby on the Block" when it comes to sleep patterns. It's a good, and easy, read too. :-)
You're going to be a fantastic Mommy!
PS: Do you have a subscription to Parents or Baby magazine yet? They're great!!

We also love QT! We always brag on it whenver we leave the Atlanta area, which I guess it's weird, but it is not just a gas station! :) You are not alone girl, we also have those dates. I think the best are in the summer when they have their awesome drink deals. We are all for cheap dates too! I think those can be the best because you're not worried about money, just about enjoying your time. Definitely worth keeping in the budget!

Our View – No Red Card
We who support Israel know all about the hypocrisy that surrounds verbal attacks on the country, including recent laughable examples in which international agencies decided that only Israel, among all the nations in the world, was worthy of criticism over women's rights and health care.
But the Palestinians realized they went too far when they took the diplomatic battle into the world of soccer.
Much ink and angst were expended throughout May over the prospect of soccer's global governing body, FIFA, taking the "Israel is an apartheid nation" nonsense to its illogical conclusion and treating Israel just as it did South Africa in the 1980s.
To that end, the Palestinian Football Association proposed extending the boycott, divestment and sanctions movement from business and academics to sports and ousting the Israeli Football Association from FIFA. That would have meant no Israeli participation in international competitions, such as qualifying for the World Cup, and could have led Israeli players to disavow their citizenship to play in such competitions or even to win spots in the top professional leagues, such as the English Premier League, Italy's Serie A and the Bundesliga.
The theory behind such a soccer boycott — that the resulting distress would drive the Israeli public to demand an immediate withdrawal to the Green Line and sue for peace on any terms sought by Palestinian President-for-Life Mahmoud Abbas — is as far from reality as Jimmy Carter's declaration that Hamas leader Khaled Mashaal is a man of peace.
But it would have been a bitter pill to swallow with Israel still alive for its first-ever qualification for the European Championships in 2016 (a big game at Bosnia-Herzegovina is coming June 12), not to mention the delicious if unlikely prospect of Israel's earning a spot in the 2022 World Cup in front of the Hamas-funding sheiks of Qatar (think Jesse Owens humiliating Adolf Hitler at the 1936 Olympics).
Given the recent success of pro-Palestinian, anti-Israeli resolutions before international organizations, there was a real chance of Israel's ouster May 29 — until the United States indicted 14 FIFA officials on corruption charges two days earlier.
That indictment and the spreading international investigation into FIFA ruined the Palestinian plans.
People who a week earlier would have guessed that FIFA was just a common name for French poodles suddenly were paying close attention to the soccer federation's operations and its presidential election between Switzerland's Sepp Blatter, seeking a fifth term after 17 years in office, and Jordan's Prince Ali Bin al-Hussein.
The prince never had a chance to unseat Blatter, who remarkably claims no responsibility for the corruption that is rife throughout his organization, but the controversy was enough for Blatter to fail to win, or allow himself not to win, the required two-thirds majority on the first ballot.
His inevitable re-election exposed to casual observers what committed soccer fans already knew: FIFA is as dirty as water is wet. And that revelation undermined the Palestinian plan.
When the U.N. Human Rights Council, World Health Organization or World Food Program singles out Israel, the resulting headlines have propaganda value for Israel's foes. As biased as those organizations might be, they have clout and trustworthy names.
FIFA, since May 27 at least, is an international joke. To neutral observers, any negative FIFA action would have made Israel look good.
So the PFA dropped the ouster bid. In its place FIFA passed a measure calling for the free movement of soccer players, and Israel escaped the threat with only a yellow-card warning.

Scripture communicates several essentials that must be consistent when believers gather: worship through preaching, singing, baptism, communion, and giving.
The preaching is expositional in nature, consisting of a consecutive teaching through individual books of the Bible. We believe this is consistent with the biblical pattern of teaching and is the best way to unpack the truths in God's word.
Our worship is blended––traditional and modern songs that glorify the greatness, faithfulness, love, and power of God. Songs should reflect what Scripture reveals about God and man's response to who He is and what He has done.

Unemployment is a problem and an even bigger problem for young people. There are over 73 million young people between the ages of 15 and 24 who are without work even though they are actively seeking for jobs. According to the International Labour Organisation (ILO), youth unemployment rate is close to three times higher than adult unemployment.
While youth unemployment rates vary across different regions in the world, the issues remain the same as the young people who are affected are unable to secure sustainable productive work. In the Middle East and North Africa, close to 30% of young people are without jobs. The situation is worse for young women in those regions, this is because over 50% are unemployed, irrespective of their level of education.
An 11.6% unemployment rate for young people in Sub-Saharan Africa might seem low compared to those of other regions, but it does not tell the full story. A closer examination will reveal that two-thirds of the young people in this region are in vulnerable employment while nine out of ten youth are in informal employment. This figure tends to cloak the reality that underemployment and working poverty is widespread in Sub-Saharan Africa. In Nigeria, youth unemployment currently stands at 42% while 53% of young people in South Africa are jobless.
Apart from the effects of unemployment on financial and mental well-being, youth unemployment stokes the fires of crime and social unrest. For example, the popular uprisings in some Arab countries are tied to the increasing rate of unemployment among the young people in those regions. Resentment, reinforced by the inability of the youth to access viable employment and quality education led to an active search for change through a collection of demonstrations, rebellions, and armed conflicts.
Therefore, the consequences of unemployment are far-reaching and extremely dangerous, considering that young people, the greatest demographic in the world, bear majority of the burden.

A team from the Research Designs and Standards Organization (RDSO) in Lucknow has begun intensive trials on the Kochi Metro trains to ensure passenger comfort and safety. RDSO began their trials on Monday after fitting transducers and sensors on various components of the trial run coaches and also carried out a few runs along the 9km Muttom-Palarivattom stretch to assess various parameters. The team will initially operate empty trains and later simulate the 'crush load' – the maximum capacity of the trains which is 900 people – by filling the coaches with sand bags.
RDSO will also assess breaking distance at different speeds as well as the efficiency of third traction from which power is sourced will be measured. A whole range of other mandatory oscillation trials too will be done. Towards the end of the trials they will also be testing whether the coaches can tow another stranded coach to a station or yard from the track.
The trials will continue till October 5 and RDSO's report is expected in a month. It will be submitted to both the Commissioner for Railway Safety (CRS) and Railway Board. After verifying the report, the CRS is expected to do a bird's eye inspection of the metro system and grant permission to commission the metro. The Electrical Inspector General to the Government of India had inspected the third traction laid between the track and other electrical components and accorded his nod to charge the viaduct up to Palarivattom. Integrated trials are expected by November, once communication-based train control systems are in place.
As per latest schedule, the 12-km-long Aluva-Palarivattom stretch will be ready for commissioning by April, while the 6-km-long Palarivattom-Maharaja's College Ground corridor will be ready by June.

Here it goes, 7 posts in a row to make up for lost time. They'll be quality don't worry. I'm in the right frame of mind - with this beautiful song on my side. :)
I want to go back to two Sunday's ago. The night at Illusion Lounge.
Life is not meant to be lived on the sidelines. I think this was a prime example of that.
Everyone in the group I went with refused to dance with me, up until the last hour of the night. I'm proud that I got them all to dance though! :D What a great night.
Though alcohol was needed, which I successfully retrieved from someone else, but the main point is, NO ONE NEEDS ALCOHOL to get through things. Liquid courage is a crutch and one needs to see that for what it is. I take it so seriously because a lack of confidence breeds itself into socially acceptable habits like drinking, self-deprecation, and saying things like "I just can't dance."
If everyone in the club was dancing, would I be dancing? The answer is yes. There's just that energy in the room and it's infectious!
What if there's a handful of people around the room but no one dancing? Does my fun remain dependent on others' actions? No. This is a drastic departure of thinking I have. I will still bring the party and get it started regardless of whoever else is with me!
It's always great to have support, but trends start somewhere. The greatest leaders at one point stood alone.
Rosa Parks sat in the seat she wasn't supposed to. She incited change, and despite her humility in saying she just didn't want to get up because she was extrememly tired, she is A LEADER. So many other people are such inspiring leaders for taking a stand, and being different while others didn't say a word.
Change really starts with you and your attitude. <3

- The high-fat, low-carb keto diet can be great for shedding weight, but it presents distinct challenges.
- Jennifer Still writes that though the keto diet has been a "godsend" for her, there are several things she wishes she'd known before starting.
Having been overweight for years, I've tried every diet in the proverbial book in the hopes of shedding pounds and getting healthy.
Like with many people, any success I found in dieting was usually short-lived, and I always ended up frustrated and right back where I started — that is, until I discovered the keto diet four years ago.
While following a diet high in fat, moderate in protein, and very low in carbohydrates has been a godsend for me, it has come with its fair share of difficulties.
Here are a few things I wish I'd known before I started the keto diet:
The idea that you can eat a large amount of fatty foods — bacon, steak, whole milk, cheeses, etc. — and not only lose weight but increase energy tends to surprise people.
You'll soon lose count of the number of people who insist you need carbs to live. Ignore them. As the saying goes, KCKO. Keep calm and keto on.
You may lose more weight more quickly on the keto diet than on other diets, but you can't eat with abandon just because you're cutting out carbs.
Calories still count, so it's important to determine your basal metabolic rate, which is how many calories your body burns daily by simply existing, as well as the deficit you should be eating at to lose weight.
It's pretty disheartening to wake up a few pounds heavier than you were the day before just because you had to have a cheat meal at McDonald's.
While this change is may just be water weight that you can shed after going back to the keto diet for a day or two ( it flushes water from your system), some people will find that such an interruption is not worth the trouble.
This applies to followers of any way of eating: What and how much you eat is way more important for losing weight than exercise.
The old saying that you can't outrun a bad diet is true. While it's great to add cardio and weight training for general fitness, even if you don't, you can and will still lose weight on keto as long as your diet is on point.
While many hardcore followers of the keto diet aim to have 75% of their daily calories come from fat, that's more of a preference than a necessity. More important than fat consumption is that you hit your protein goals.
Suzanne Dixon, a registered dietitian, told Business Insider that excess protein could turn into glucose, which would kick you out of the state of ketosis you're trying to maintain. But not getting enough protein could lead to muscle loss, among other negative side effects.
Fat is nothing to be afraid of and is encouraged by the diet, but you shouldn't be downing sticks of butter to reach some elusive intake goal.
The keto diet, like any well-rounded nutritional approach, should include plenty of fresh fish, veggies, and even lower-sugar fruits like strawberries and raspberries.
While theoretically you could get away with living on bunless fast food or processed meats and cheese on the keto diet, if you want a healthy, well-rounded diet, you need to get in the kitchen and cook.
Keto, perhaps more than any other diet, is nearly impossible without a willingness to get in the kitchen. Most ready meals are far from keto-friendly, so if you want to eat, you'll need to put on your apron and prepare meals.
Since so many typical foods are off-limits, it's important to figure out what you're having in advance so you don't come home from work and pig out on non-keto food that will set back your progress.
I occasionally meal prep on Sundays, making a few different recipes I can heat up quickly during busy workweeks. It keeps me on track while still giving me delicious meal options.
While the initial adjustment period, also known as " keto flu," can be tough, it soon passes as your body adapts to burning fat rather than carbs for energy. Once you get into the zone, you'll find that you're less hungry and that your cravings for sugary foods all but disappear.
It takes some people longer than others to reach this stage, and it's hard to get rid of those cravings completely. (I still occasionally crave Oreos.) But they become more manageable, and the delicious food you get to eat never makes you feel deprived or as though you're on a "diet" at all.
I enjoy everything from eggs and steak to lots of green vegetables like kale and broccoli pretty much daily, and I never feel deprived.
In addition to losing weight and feeling less bloated daily, I also notice I'm way more energetic, my moods are better, and I generally feel healthier when I'm on track with my eating on the keto diet.
While I would never claim that eating this way is for everyone, for those of us who've tried it and loved it, it's the best thing ever.

Sabrina Matuda
IT Recruitment Consultant
I am a real people person and spent over a decade in language studies, coaching and sales. I have a Bachelor's degree in Languages and Literature, a Master's degree in English and a PhD in Translation studies (#nerd). However, a serendipitous event got me into IT recruitment. And I'm loving it! Why? Recruiting has allowed me to leverage my passion for building and maintaining rewarding relationships with my clients while remaining challenged to find the perfect candidates and, in my case, it has also allowed me to keep updated with all the technology trends out there. I take pride in ensuring that placements are a strong match for both parties. There's nothing more exciting than helping smart people find their next challenge. If I'm not working, I'm probably learning a new language, enjoying a glass of nice champagne or traveling. Also, I love meeting new people and learning new things, so feel free to connect and share your experience. :) If you are looking at hiring or contemplating your next career move in IT hit me up on firstname.lastname@example.com.

Stop navigating from one website to another, and read ALL the information you need before you leave home.
The Madrid airport transport between the city center and the terminals is extremely easy and cheap compared to other European capitals.
You can have a look at the practical details related to the airport.
Moreover, you can also read about how to get from the airport to the city center.
There are several options to get to the airport.
There is no right or wrong option. It only depends on where you are and to what terminal you need to go to. Here is my advice.
You can download a public transport map that provides all the information you need.
Read more about the Madrid Tourist Travel Pass, a transport pass entitling you to get free unlimited rides.
Barajas airport has two Metro stations, one at T2 (floor 1) and the other one at T4 (floor -1). Both are part of line 8 (pink).
The ride between Nuevos Ministerios station takes 15 minutes to T2 and 20 minutes to T4.
Before using the subway, you will need to purchase a ticket. You can do so at the ticket counters and ticket machines. Have a look at a complete explanation on the different types of Metro tickets and how to buy them.
It's a less than 10 minutes walk.
Exit the Metro station and take the escalators to go upstairs.
You are now in a big glass-window hall from there you can access T2, T3 and the car park.
Walk straight and use the three moving walkaways.
As soon as you exit the last moving walkaway, a sign indicates to turn right.
Walk along a long corridor. Then, take three consecutive moving walkaways.
Once you exit the last one you are in T1 Departures hall. Walk straight across the different check-in counters and look for your airline.
It's a less than 5 minutes walk.
Exit the Metro station and take the escalators to go upstairs. You are now in a big glass-window hall from there you can access T2, T3 and the car park.
Walk straight and use two moving walkaways.
As soon as you exit the last moving walkaway, a sign indicates to turn left.
You need to go upstairs, to the 2st floor. You can use the elevators, but the easiest way is to use the moving ramps.
Once you exit the ramps, you are in T2 Departures hall. Walk across the different check-in counters and look for your airline.
It's a less than 5 minutes walk.
As soon as you exit the Metro station, turn left. You will see a sign indicating you to take the moving ramps to go to upstairs, to the Arrivals hall located on floor 0.
Then, take the moving ramps to go upstairs, to floor 1. There are signs at the ceiling indicating the Departures hall. Just follow them.
The last moving ramp leads you to a big hall where all the check-in counters are.
The Madrid airport has one train station, located in Terminal 4 (T4), floor -1.
The trip from T4 train station takes 25 minutes to Atocha, 18 minutes to Nuevos Ministerios and 11 minutes to Chamartín. There are trains every 30 minutes.
Download the Renfe App (for iPhone or Android) to access a complete schedule of all trains. Alternatively, you can also check the Cercanías schedules at Renfe's website.
Before using the Cercanías train, you will need to purchase a ticket. You can do so at the ticket counters and ticket machines. Have a look at a complete explanation on the different types of Cercanías tickets and how to buy them.
Don't forget to keep your train ticket because you need it to exit the station.
If you need to go from T4 train station to any other terminal (T1, T2 or T3), all you have to do is exit the station.
Once you are out of the train station walk to your right.
Use the moving ramps to get to the Arrivals hall. Exit the terminal through the sliding doors and walk towards the taxis. Go past them. The shuttle bus stop is at the front of the different bus stops.
The shuttle bus connecting the terminals is free and operates 24/7.
See all the internal connections between the airport terminals downloading a transport map.
There are three public transport bus routes that you can use. Each one takes you to a different destination and has a different fare.
The Línea Express Aeropuerto buses offer a direct trip between the airport, c/ O'Donnell, Plaza de Cibeles and Atocha train station. The buses are yellow with a big 24 horas exprés sign on the windows.
The Airport Express bus has two schedules:
The buses frequency is between 13-20 minutes during the day and 35 minutes at night. The trip from Atocha should take no more than 40 minutes under normal traffic conditions.
Inside the airport, there are bus stops at
There are two EMT bus lines that go to the airport. Remember that EMT buses are blue.
The one you are more likely to use is line 200. It runs from Avenida de América transport hub to terminals T1, T2 and T4 of Madrid-Barajas airport.
The buses run every 5-12 minutes at peak times and the journey from Avenida de América takes around 20 minutes to T1 and 30 minutes to T4.
The other line is route 101 and departs from Canillejas, a transport hub offering connections to the Metro, and city and intercity bus routes.
Theses buses drop you here:
Reaching the airport by a taxi is the fastest and most comfortable option. Moreover, it is also the most expensive despite it could be interesting if you are a travel party of at least 4 people.
In Madrid, taxis are easily recognizable. Official taxis are white with a red stripe and the coat-of-arms of the city. There are no special taxis to drive you to the airport; any taxi can take you there.
The trip between Madrid and the airport takes about half an hour but it depends very much on the traffic conditions and your accommodation location. Terminal 4 (T4) is further away compared to Terminals 1, 2 and 3 (T1, T2 and T3) so your trip will be 10 minutes longer and the fare higher.
The trip from the center of Madrid to the airport should cost approximately €30. All taxis must have a fares chart displayed on the rear windows.
Please note that there are two very specific fares:
No taxi driver is allowed to charge you for your luggage, as long as it fits in the boot or on the roof rack.
Barajas airport's web has a list with all the official fares.
In addition to this, have a look at an insider's guide to use Madrid taxis in the most efficient way.
For more details, have a look at the airport's website information on public transport.

Fitness Marketing Plan
See More About:
Submitted by: Chris McCombs
If you are at your wits end in trying to develop a fitness marketing plan that can help your business go places, then fret no more. This article aims to shed light on a very important yet overlooked aspect of the fitness game. And who knows, you may well find the ideal fitness marketing plan after you are through!
The uniqueness of the service industry lies in the fact that it is self-promoting. That actions speak louder than words is best shown by services. Similarly in the fitness training industry too, the best advertisement for your fitness set-up or programs lies in what is being delivered.
So no matter how many out-of-the-box fitness marketing plans you may have come across, nothing works unless your clients love you. The only way to ensure that is to do your job well. But will that suffice, is what you may be thinking right now .
Well then, to dispel any confusion, why not make your own ingenious fitness marketing plan? The key here is to try to win over your clients completely and leave no stone unturned in trying to do so. And how do you go about doing that?
Most importantly you may try to make your clients feel that they are getting great value for money. However, that does not mean that you make them do a whole new set of exercises other than what they have paid for!
It lies in some tit-bits like making small adjustments to the postures of the clients while they exercise. While you may know that it is absolutely unnecessary to do so, the client will think that it was something absolutely necessary! Although it may seem a bit of a sneaky tactic , it can definitely pay lots of dividends in the long run.
You can also tweak conventional training programs according to the general preferences of your clients and develop your own fitness training program. Give that a fancy name and voila! You have a brand new customized fitness training program that your clients can brag about outside. This can be another useful component of your fitness marketing plan!
Another weapon of choice might be being a bit of a show-off . I am not suggesting that you take your vest off and show your eight pack abs to your clients while they are working out! That will be downright disastrous! What I am suggesting is that you show them how it s done .
So when your client is doing the bench-press why not work out along with him? When he tires (which he probably will) after thirty sets and you do not even break sweat in doing that, just look at the awe-struck face of his! It is a harmless way of winning some brownie points from your clientele and lots of good reputation too.
Hope you got some ideas for developing your own fitness marketing plan from this article. Remember that the key is to improvise and know your target market! For further ideas check out some of my other articles.

Volkswagen: No company dodges the global auto recession
American companies like General Motors (GM) got hit the earliest and hardest by the downturn in car sales, perhaps because the American market turned south more quickly than others. Toyota (TM) started to bleed as it faced falling demand in it home market, the U.S. and Europe.
The largest car company in the EU, Volkwagen, reported poor numbers for the last quarter. Since it has almost no market share in America, its problems are largely due to trouble in Europe and Asia.
According toMarketWatch, VW's first-quarter net profit fell 73.8 percent to 243 million euros ($314 million).
Perhaps because VW is not a player in the one market where it would like to have a major presence, the U.S., it will actually do better than the global car giants that count on America for a big part of their volume. VW says its unit sales will only drop by about 10 percent. For the time being, VW is lucky that its dreams about being a player in North America have not come true.

Time for another "Noticed Around Brattleboro," where little things about the town are noticed and recorded for posterity. This edition starts off with some special nature-loving observations:
– Nude man walking. On Tuesday afternoon I was on my way to the train station to pick up a visitor. Coming down Canal Street I caught sight of a naked man walking up the hill. He was probably in his late 60's, had a beard, and was walking happily, confidently, and totally naked.
He crossed the street from the Co-op side of things, opened a car door, and hopped in.
Note to nude man – you were violating Brattleboro's ANTI-NUDITY ordinance. Despite what rumors you may have heard, the Town outlawed this a few years back. Sorry. Other Vermont towns aren't quite so Puritanical on this issue, so you may have to wander clothes-less elsewhere.
General question – why is it always old nude men? (Where are the old nude women?)
– Bunny at the station. I thought the nude man was the impressive sighting of the afternoon, but I was wrong. While waiting at the station, I saw a rabbit. I never see rabbits in town. This one was hopping toward us from the far end of the platform. It would stop and nibble on things, but then it just turned around, sat there, and seemed to wait for the train. Maybe a cousin from Windsor Locks? (There was also a chipmunk running along the tracks and quite a few birds down there.)
– Fireworks were great! Just a note that this year's fireworks were outstanding. It was as if finale-quality shells were the only ones being launched. Nothing was small or boring. Lots of sizzle, too. And it seemed like an extra dose of green in the sky, too. (I suspect that Brattleboro's #1 Fourth of July fan, Tim O'Connor, was smiling at us from above.) And no drone blocking the view!
What else is there?

Let's be clear about this… There's a difference between discrediting an entire law enforcement agency and discrediting the political appointees set over them which basically turn them into a political weapon.

I wonder if the retelling of that history will include black Democrat Congressman sitting on their hands, while President Donald Trump announces record low black unemployment. I've said it for years now, and that event is proof of the saying: The worst thing you can possibly do to a Democrat is to provide an actual […]

Spastic quadriplegia is a severe form of cerebral palsy that is caused by brain damage or abnormalities that generally develop before birth and prevent the brain from controlling movements or maintaining balance and posture. This form of cerebral palsy affects limbs, the trunk, the face, and it can cause intellectual disabilities. It can also cause muscle stiffness, pain, seizures, speech impediments, hinder walking, and result in a floppy neck. Marijuana can help patients manage pain, spasms, and seizures that coincide with the condition.
Studies have found cannabis can provide effective therapeutic relief for those suffering from cerebral palsy conditions. One survey found adults with cerebral palsy reported marijuana provided the highest level of pain relief, even though it was rarely used. An animal study on newborn rats and mice with white matter brain damage that mimicked cerebral palsy found cannabis provided neuroprotective benefits that protected the brain ad it developed. Both THC and CBD interact with the endocannabinoid system to reduce muscle spasms, seizures, and pain. Cannabis has reduced muscle spasms in MS patients, and CBD has proven to be a well-tolderated and effective therapeutic treatment for seizure reduction. Cannabis has also been effective in pain management, even when the pain was refractory to traditional treatment methods.

We already established in my last post that I found a bench that rocks my world and now it has found a home in the entry way! Here is our new inspired nook.
(As a side note it is also a great place to have some home brew after you help your wife hang things. You need to know this.)
It's nice to have a place to hang up our keys! Let me rephrase that- where I can FIND my keys and thus sanity in mornings (Pat. Pat. Patting back now). We bought this hanger gadget years ago from IKEA and had never found a spot for it and with some black paint it was meant to be. The photos are my favorite of the girls that John had printed on canvas last Christmas. Sigh*
Threw in a chic owl I found for $5 and a corner shelve (also 5 bones)...
And made a big pillow to match. I smile knowing that the bench is filled with little shoes that are no longer crowding the doorway.
It's a simple fix to the front entryway clutter.

About The Year of Becoming Gracia by R.J. Harris
A road trip is not just a road trip if one takes the time to ask for guidance, follow one's passion, and allow whatever comes in front of you. Gracia got in her car to find her new direction, not knowing that her passions had already been put in the works but had just been forgotten by the stresses of life. In this non-fiction account you will also gain the courage to release baggage, find the forgotten paths, quest for knowledge and gain insight into the spirit and soul. Her experiences only reflect who she is, perhaps it will inspire you, the reader, to remember your own lost passions.

In 2018, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) issued a new policy allowing states to implement work and community engagement requirements for certain Medicaid enrollees.
Since then, 16 states, including West Virginia's Appalachian neighbors Virginia, Kentucky, Ohio and North Carolina have either implemented or proposed new laws requiring people receiving Medicaid to verify their participation in approved activities, such as employment, job search, or job training programs, in order to receive health coverage.
The effort to institute Medicaid Work Requirement in Kentucky was embroiled in federal litigation, and efforts in other states have been similarly contentious.
With the West Virginia legislative session approaching in January, there is some speculation that West Virginia could be the next state to adopt a Medicaid Work Requirement.
Given the importance of Medicaid in West Virginia's rural communities, a Medicaid Work Requirement would have a profound impact on coverage and the provision of health services.
Presenting on the webinar will be:
• Simon F. Haeder, Ph.D., M.P.A., the author of the WVU report, Making Medicaid Work in the Mountain State.
• Ted Boettner, Executive Director of the West Virginia Center on Budget and Policy.
• Kat Stoll, Policy Director, West Virginians for Affordable Health Care.
• Susan Jo Thomas, Executive Director, Covering Kids and Families of Indiana.
Haeder's report, released by the John D. Rockefeller School of Policy and Politics at WVU, found that any changes that limit Medicaid enrollment or reimbursement "will have significant detrimental effects on the health and well-being of West Virginians."
In order to help health professionals, students and advocates learn more about the potential impacts of a Medicaid Work Requirement in this state, the West Virginia Rural Health Association is hosting a free webinar on January 22 featuring experts on the work requirement proposal and representatives of health care providers in West Virginia.
"About a third of West Virginians rely on Medicaid, and the program has become the backbone of the state's health infrastructure," Haeder wrote.
Haeder's research estimates that, if a Kentucky-style approach (a work requirement applicable to the entire Medicaid population from ages 19 to 65, with certain exemptions for the disabled, students, caregivers of children or people with disabilities) was instituted in West Virginia coverage losses for nonexempt individuals alone could range from 66,000 to 112,000 West Virginians.
"Great care must be taken by policymakers to avoid unintended consequences and inequities," the report finds. "While crucial for these individual beneficiaries, Medicaid also serves as the backbone of the larger health care infrastructure in the state, including for hospitals, Federally Qualified Health Centers, and Rural Health Clinics, as well as major health systems like West Virginia University Medicine and CAMC Health System."
"Any changes, including the implementation of work requirements, block grants, or a reversal of the Medicaid expansion, that limit enrollment or reimbursement will have significant detrimental effects on the health and well-being of West Virginians."
The WVRHA webinar is a unique and vital opportunity for anyone interested in healthcare in West Virginia to ask questions about the potential impact of a Medicaid Work Requirement, and to network with health providers and advocates with a vested interest in the state's Medicaid system.

Complexity and the Economy
Implications for Economic Policy
Edited by John Finch and Magali Orillard
Chapter 3: Complexity Needs Strategy First Rather than Simplification: Why I am a Satisficing and Unrepentant Simonian
Jean-Louis Le Moigne
3. Complexity needs strategy first rather than simplification. Why I am a satisficing and unrepentant Simonian Jean-Louis Le Moigne Science seeks parsimony, not simplicity: searching for patterns in phenomena. (Simon 2001)1 INTRODUCTION We must now re-think the distinction between 'fundamental search' and 'finalized search'. The different areas of knowledge cannot be developed 'out of context': they maintain a close relationship with know-how, means of production, places and multiple interests which contribute to shape them and direct their development which thus result from the crossing between various production logics and the appropriation of knowledge whose instrumental logics are part of. This observation was recently expressed by one of the big European research centres (the French CNRS2) and may be accepted generally by economists who are careful not to separate economic science, considered as fundamental, from political economy, considered as finalized or applied. The logic of the production and the appropriation of knowledge formed and transformed by one another are more and more interlaced. When they are not interlaced enough or as yet, everyone admits that this gap is regrettable and must be filled as soon as possible. In this chapter, I address the themes of 'complexity and political economy: implications for economic science' and of 'complexity and economic science: implications for political economy.' In economics as in other fields, the procedure of research is led intentionally and deliberately to insert the acceptance of its own paradigmatic or core questions on the grounds of action, and it follows the feedback effects...
