Jesus answered, "Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks the water I give him will never thirst. Indeed, the water I given him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life."
Jesus was tired, he was in a place where he didn't fit in, he was thirsty … and yet He ministered to a woman whose life was in a quagmire of continuing sin. The woman was knowledgeable of religious boundaries and ideology and yet she didn't know her encounter at the well was about to lead her to heaven.
Have things really changed so much? On this earth it is all about being able to pause and connect … or as a friend used to say "Witnessing is all about one beggar leading another beggar to bread."
Jesus is hardly a beggar, but He led the way in humility and acceptance of people so that … everyone – everywhere … might hear the good news.
We sometimes get caught up in the results of "giving a testimony" but what a person does with the Bread of Life is between them and God. It isn't our role to convince or make the message acceptable for a better shot at a conversion.
We give out a piece of Bread … a drink of Living Water.
People who are hungry and thirsty spiritually don't need the rules of eating and drinking explained, or table manners presented … they need a drink of Water … a piece of Bread.
Jesus did not present a teaching watered down to the culture of the moment but rather in truth and spirit, He gave a drink to a thirsty soul.
In His life here, our Lord experienced all of life. He didn't skip over the hard parts. In fact Jesus experienced pain in ways we never will. Yet when He was tired, lonely, thirsty, and faced with a person in need … He never turned away.
So a woman who others may have shunned had the opportunity to become a true worshipper of God. Scripture shows that she was so moved by Jesus speaking to her and knowing about her life – that she went and told others.
An encounter with Jesus produces a testimony about our life and His. Flesh gives birth to flesh but Spirit gives birth to spirit (John 3:6). So as we walk through this world, we will eat and drink - yet we will hunger and thirst again. But when we encounter Jesus – face to face as Paul did on the road to Damascus (Acts 9) – we are forever changed.
So how is your "spring of water welling up to eternal life" flowing today?
Don't wait till you are feeling well-fed and comfortable to "testify".
Be ready everyday to pass out Bread and Water.
From one beggar to another … lead someone to the Bread of Life today!

From Sylvia Wing (St. Leonard's Club) July 7
The NTasCC has registered a business name "Tasmanian Croquet Centre"
What do members think? Click HERE to tell us
From Graeme Denehey, (Kingston Club) July 8
It is only a Business name and there is no other Croquet Centre in Tasmania with that number of lawns but I guess north south Parochialism will have a negative effect . I am of the personal view the State executive should have approved the change of name for the Centre.
From Robert Hamilton (Eastern Shore Club) July 14
The name change would place extra obligations on St. Leonards to be run to the highest of standards as befits the name.
Tas Croquet should have been fully involved in the decision.
From Ruth McKean (East Launceston Club) July 15
Robert's comment is rather telling. By 'St Leonards', do you mean the St Leonards Croquet Club? It is just one of the affiliated clubs of the Centre.
Yes, I think it is a good idea, it is the largest venue in the state and is located conveniently to the north-west coast and the south.
From Lois Richards (Royal Park Croquet Club) July 15
The Centre is exactly as the name suggests: a centre for affiliated clubs . It is a venue for competitions not a club. The TCA have no input into the running of the Centre and the Centre is not affiliated with the TCA . Therefor the TCA have no authority to argue on a name change. I agree with the name change as it is central to most clubs in the State and an excellent venue for the whole of Tasmania .
From June Pongratz (New Town Club) July 16
If, as suggested in one of the comments, "the TCA has no input into the running of the Centre" , then the TCA would not necessarily have to allocate State championships etc. to the NTasCC. These events could be held elsewhere in the state.
From Joan Williams (St. Leonards Club July 24)
I don't have a problem with the name but I do have a problem with the process. If there is to be a change it should come from the owners – the affiliated clubs, not from the appointed committee, whose job is the management of the facilities for the clubs.

Slack commits to SLO
May 21, 2018
Hang on for a minute...we're trying to find some more stories you might like.
Email This Story
Sophomore Kate Slack recently committed to play Division I volleyball at the California Polytechnic State University.
After playing volleyball for Northern California Volleyball Club (NCVC) for numerous years, the standout sophomore has decided to take her talents to San Luis Obispo. Having played volleyball for four years, Slack feels that her commitment to Cal Poly is the reward of years of hard work and dedication.
"It's really cool to see how after putting in years of work I am being recognized and given a full ride scholarship to go play at a great school," Slack said.
Although the junior hitter chose to go to Cal Poly, there were several other schools that had indicated interest, including Santa Clara University, University of the Pacific, and UC Davis.
However according to Slack, none of these schools presented the full college experience like Cal Poly did.
"I chose Cal Poly because I really liked the coaches and the team, and also their academics are amazing. On top of that, they have a great volleyball program, which obviously draws me to want to go play there," Slack said.
Playing for the regional volleyball powerhouse NCVC, Slack was given numerous opportunities to play in front of Division I colleges and show her skill set to potential coaches and recruiters.
This tie to NCVC helped Cal Poly see the rising junior, as they witnessed her play this past summer, which initiated the recruiting process between the two parties.
"Cal Poly first got in contact with me after seeing me play last summer, and they were probably the most interested school that I had talked to yet," Slack said. "I got a really good feel from their coaches, and after they offered me a spot, I became even more interested and so I researched the school a ton and I was really happy with what I found."
According to her teammate Paris Harwell, Slack plays volleyball well beyond what is expected at her age.
"I am so very excited for her and we all saw it coming," Harwell said. "She has great potential and has progressed so much just this year. She is an amazing young varsity player."

Draft Budget and Council Plan Consultation, Northamptonshire County Council,
One Angel Square, Northampton, NN1 1ED
Authors join battle to save Brackley library from closure
The Guardian newspaper has brought national attention to the threat facing our library (and many others in the county) with a report of leading authors joining the chorus of disapproval. The report starts:
Proposals to axe more than half of Northamptonshire's public libraries have been denounced by readers and authors. Up to 28 of the county's 36 libraries could be closed if the plans get the go-ahead. The move has been branded "monstrous" by Watchmen creator Alan Moore.
Northamptonshire county council, which needs to claw back £115m in savings over the next four years, has launched a consultation on the future of its library service. Three options have been put forward: two would shut the doors of 21 libraries; the third would close 28, leaving only eight branches open.
A proposal from Liberal Democrat councillor Chris Stanbra to halt cuts to the libraries service was rejected by the county council last week. "We wanted them to add a fourth option, which said 'keep libraries as they are', but the Conservatives voted against that," Stanbra said. "At the moment, the consultation is giving the choice of three options, all of which involve the closure of libraries."

SNC gets ready to wrap up Christmas bin collections
Householders in South Northamptonshire should make sure they put their bins out on time in the build-up to Christmas as the Boxing Day collections will be moved to the following Saturday. Any household which is due to have a collection on Tuesday, 26 December should put their bins out on Saturday 30 December instead. Reminders of the change in collection dates will be attached to bins belonging to affected households on Tuesday 12 December. Collections on other days will not be affected by the Bank Holidays and residents should put their bins out on their normal day. However, due to the rise in volume, collection crews may arrive at different times and householders should ensure their bins are out by 7am.
As normal, garden waste collections will be suspended for two weeks from Monday 25 December before starting again the week commencing Monday 8 January or Monday 15 January 2018 depending on where you live in the district. When garden waste collections resume, real Christmas trees can be put in or next to the green bin – make sure all decorations are removed. Bulky waste collections and deliveries will also be suspended for one week from Monday, 25 December, starting again in the first week of January 2018.
• For more information, including collection calendars, visit SNC's waste and recycling pages.

Late penalty denies Saints away win
FC United 1-1 Brackley Town
One of only two National League North games to survive Saturday's wintry weather, the teams served up an open and well-contested match but created surprisingly few scoring chances, writes Tim Carroll. Missing the services of Glenn Walker and Jack Byrne in addition to Adam Walker, Kevin Wilkin reverted to three at the back and presented Steve Diggin with a rare start.
Craig Lindfield's 17th-minute free-kick was close and Danny Lewis did well under aerial pressure to push away a cross, while Jimmy Armson and Alex Gudger both had shots from distance comfortably saved by United keeper Lloyd Allinson as neither side threatened a goal in the first period.
The second half was played in falling snow which did not settle although the surface became more slippery. Lindfield brought a good save low down from Lewis before Jimmy Armson put the visitors ahead after 58 minutes, firing in from 10 yards after a towering header by Alex Gudger from Shane Byrne's free-kick.
Roared on by a vocal home crowd the young United side pushed forward in search of an equaliser. Brackley's defence, marshalled by Gaz Dean, stood firm and it seemed would see out the game for a crucial away victory. That was until the 85th minute when a break on the left by substitute Joel Logan delivered the cross that was adjudged to have been handled and conceding a penalty. Steve Irwin converted the kick, placing the ball high beyond Lewis to earn United a deserved point.
"It wasn't our strongest performance," Wilkin said. "They are in good form here and had a big home crowd behind them. However it is disappointing not to hold on to a lead and to concede so late. They rarely threatened a goal and we did not create many chances either."
The draw moves Saints back into second place in the league table as those at the top all sat out a snowy Saturday.
Brackley Town: Lewis, Myles, Gudger, S.Byrne, Graham, Dean, Franklin, Armson, Diggin (Ndlovu 60), A.Williams, Lowe. Subs not used: Tilney, Brown, Lucas, Oti.
FC United: Allinson, Senior, Walker (Logan 67), Fagbola, Hughes, Corbett, Glynn (Palmer 78), Kay, Greaves, Irwin, Lindfield (McCarthy 76). Subs not used: Baird, Jones.

ECGC also today announced its call for speaker submissions to lead panels, lectures and roundtable sessions at its third annual conference April 13-14, 2011 to be held at the Raleigh Convention Center. The call for submissions will close Friday, January 21, 2011.
"We are excited to be approaching this year's conference with a fantastic lineup of educational tracks and a fresh name and look," said John Austin, Conference Chairperson. At the conference's inception, our mission was to provide a platform for the Raleigh-Durham region's growing community of interactive entertainment companies and professionals. Following the inaugural two years of the conference, it became clear there was serious investment being made in the future of our state's game development and digital media industry, which broadened our perspective - reaching far beyond the Triangle region of North Carolina."
"When economic incentives were introduced for North Carolina digital media companies this year, a new light was cast on our state's industry," added Wayne Watkins, project manager, Wake County Economic Development. "The name change reflects the conference's commitment to the state's growing interactive entertainment industry and the professionals that enable it to flourish."
Under the theme, Engage and Connect, speaker session submissions are being accepted online in the following three tracks, each with a specific audience: the first targeting technologists and artists developing games; the second focused on individuals working with advanced learning technologies; and the third on the business of making games:
1. Game Development - Developers, artists, producers and designers are invited to share algorithms, engines, technology, techniques and best practices that today's game companies must cultivate to create immersive, engaging entertainment product. We particularly invite submissions on game technology for Android and iOS games.
2. Advanced Learning and Visual Simulation - We invite submissions on serious games, virtual worlds, social networks and other immersive technology that are used to inspire, educate and train the "next-gen" workforce, as well as game technologies and applications used for simulation and training in government, military and health care.
3. Business of Games and Media Convergence - "Gamification" is the hot topic as social networks, immersive media and innovative marketing converges with games. We invite submissions that discuss industry trends, emerging business models, international business opportunities, the impact of the economic recession and other topics relevant to executives and studio owners small and large.
To submit a speaker abstract and biography, please visit: www.trianglegameconference.com/content/speakers

"I can walk, but I have neuropathy and my feet hurt really bad," she told me. I glanced down at her feet and noticed they were swollen to the point where you could barely see her toenails.
As we talked I watched people pass her by. She looked me in the eye and said, "People ignore me, they try not to make eye contact." Despite the fact that most refused to even look at her, she made an effort to tell everyone to have a nice day.
When I asked where she was from she laughed and said, "In the past eight years, I have lived in California, North Carolina, (pause) Tennessee and now here… Florida." As the heat from the Orlando sun beat down on her it was obvious that she left something behind in Tennessee from the way she said "Tennessee" while glancing down. Without me even asking she remarked, "My children are in Tennessee – I gave them up so that they would have a better life than I could provide."
At age 45 she lives on the streets. Her home is the entryway to an auto repair shop whenever they are closed at night.
"What a weary time those years were -- to have the desire and the need to live but not the ability." ― Charles Bukowski, poet (1920-1994)

The Benefits of Having an Online, International Team
As some of you may know, Max Louis Creative are a team of freelancers from all over the world, including Argentina, Germany, Canada and of course, the UK and US. There are currently 10 creative team members (not all pictured below and yes, the ladies are slightly outnumbered at the moment!). However, we are often asked "How can you possibly work together successfully if you all live so far apart and haven't even met?". Well, this is why this blog post has been created, to show you HOW and WHY we work as an international team!
Why we work as an international team…
Not restricted
MLC isn't restricted by local geographical area. Freelancers from all over the world can be a part of the MLC team. Obviously, this is a great advantage because it gives MLC access to thousands of creators.
Due to the team being from all over the world, everyone has different lives, cultures and backgrounds. We love the diversity of MLC, it's something we thrive on and love the most. Tech startups and indie game developers love our young and globally cultured team.
A variety of talent
Being from different cultures means that everyone has such a variety of talent due to different learning environments and different experiences. This makes us exciting and diverse, which of course is great! We also learn from each other, as explained by our web developer Dave: "I like being part of an international team because I enjoy learning from other folks and reciprocating likewise".
It works both ways…
As well as having team members from all over the world, we work on all sorts of projects from all over the world too! If we were UK based only, it's unlikely that we would be able to work on a Hawaiian project. Yes, we actually have worked with some people from Hawaii on their project before! This is not only amazing but it's also great to spread our talent worldwide and meet some amazing developers from different places (online!). This is becoming increasingly common in workplaces in almost every industry; companies are no longer limited by local work only.
An excuse to visit the country!
Of course, the most exciting part of all of this is the fact that we can visit lots of countries to meet our team members and also people that we have worked with. This could be at a conference in another country or during a holiday!
So, with this in mind, HOW do we work as an international team?
The MLC team talk daily in a big group chat on Discord. We have different sections, such as "general" where we chat about anything and everything (at this moment in time, everything World Cup related!) or "work share", where the team shares work they've done outside of MLC. Not only that, but the creative director (Max) regularly has voice call meetings with the team and also talks to individual team members on a one-to-one basis on specific projects they are working on. We have custom channels dedicated to all of our projects which coincide with Trello boards (if you haven't checked Trello out before, you definitely should. It's a great organisation tool!).
It's a common misconception that time zones of a global team are an issue when it comes to communication. In reality, no one in the team is more than 6 hours apart from each other which isn't a challenge, especially with today's selection of management tools. Everyone in the team works beyond the 'usual working hours' of 9 to 5. So, time differences are not a challenge for team MLC!
Work together on big projects
Having such a variety of talent allows us to work on larger projects where multiple team members can collaborate. This is great fun and works incredibly well for both the client and the MLC team.
Even though only some of us have met in real life, the MLC team is a tight-knit family. We genuinely love talking about and working on projects together. Although we are all from different countries, backgrounds and cultures, we all have one thing in common. We are all freelancers. This means that everyone is passionate about what they do and they deliver to the best possible. Having this value is a great drive for our international team and makes us stronger than ever.
Our artist, Ludmila, sums everything up perfectly: "The fact that we can function as a team comes from each of us. So, we see it as possible, we work as if we are all physically together in the same room. Working in a team is not for everyone, but it works for us. We have the mentality and the adaptability to make this a positive experience and, with that, we bond with each other because we know the struggles of being freelancers. The most positive thing we have is our positive personality and hard work."
Are we meeting up?
YES! The majority of us are finally going to be meeting up in LA next year (!) for the E3 conference. We're so excited to go to E3 as a team. It will be great to meet everyone and hopefully get some team pictures. We are looking forward to the whole E3 experience itself too!
Of course, if we could all meet up more regularly in person, that would be fantastic. However, it isn't necessary, which we believe is an important point to make. We work because we are a team and that doesn't require knowing each other in person. We are all passionate about what we do and all want to develop our skills. Plus, this way, we save a lot of money that we would have spent on regular and local coffee meet-ups! 🙂
So, are any of you reading this who are part of an international/global/virtual team? Would you agree with the benefits we have listed? Are there any that you would add? Comment below!
P.S. We're not the only business in the world who has an online, international team! Here are some benefits other businesses have listed, to further prove that being part of an online team really does work!

The Goodhood Store is one of my favourite independents in London with a refined yet varied number of brands, a great retail space and always brilliant and personal customer service. They have previously collaborated with a number of brands including Norse Projects to create capsule collections, however this time round they have launched their own line, 'Goods'.
The first instalment from the line includes bucket hats, oxford shirts, logo t-shirts, tie-dye t-shirts, an all over print rucksack and something else a little off-key - a yoyo! The whole line is available now exclusively from The Goodhood Store website and in-store. Take a look at some of the items below:

Student activism continues breaking new grounds
June 4, 2018
Filed under Opinions
Hang on for a minute...we're trying to find some more stories you might like.

Student activism is becoming more prominent in the current era and for good reason as well.
The dominant example would be that of gun violence. It is an issue that hits close to home for a majority of students. Right here in Bergen County, New Jersey students from across the county gather together for meetings as a part of Students Demand Action Bergen County (SDABC). This group works to ensure that tragedies such as Columbine, Sandy Hook, Parkland, and Santa Fe will never occur again. Ridgewood High School Freshman and member of SDABC Laurence Fine cites "Students Demand Action Bergen County covers 24 high schools encompassing 38 municipalities in Bergen County." This group works tirelessly to ensure they make their voices heard and work to change the future for the better.
Ridgewood High School Freshman Alana Benson, also a member of SDABC, acknowledges the need for change, stating that "it is time to create better school safety in our American school system" and how "we need action to be taken before more lives are cut short by a bullet." She has helped to plan various events hosted by this organization. SDABC is a prime example of students at the forefront of the action. They organized the Bergen County March for Our Lives, and continue working on future events. The entire group is passionate to make changes in Bergen County, and New Jersey, making sure that this place is safer for students and the community.
The passion students have is not only established but put into action. Across the nation, students are feeling the need to speak out about everything, as change will only come if something is done. Sydney Peltz, a student from California attending American University in the fall, finds that "student activism is necessary because not only does it get the future generation involved in government later on, but it shows current government officials that there are citizens who are unhappy with the way they are running the government and that change needs to be made." This future generation is showing how at this point in time they are a force to be reckoned with.
In an interview with NPR, Nancy Thomas, director of the Institute for Democracy and Higher Education at Tufts University, stated how student activism is "involving more students at the K-12 level. Most of the activism that we read about and we hear about is among college students. That doesn't mean K-12 hasn't been active. It's just that it's very visible right now." She notes how this is what is so unique about the current status quo. The younger students are ready to join in the fight, as they are seeing these issues first hand and realize they cannot just sit back.
Students have grown tired of relying on the adults and they have become vocal about it. The impact of student activism is continuing to grow, as many student activists work tirelessly to ensure they can see the changes they want to be made in this country.

An executive working for Google said on Wednesday that the search giant is working on a technology that would provide data transfer speeds over the Internet that are 10 times faster than their current Google Fiber service, which is currently exclusive to Kansas City.
During the Goldman Sachs Technology and Internet conference Chief Financial Officer Patrick Pichette said the company is working on speeds that could hit 10 gigabits per second. Pichette called this the next generation of the Internet. He said:
"Faster speeds will increase the use of software as a service because users will be able to trust that critical applications that are data intensive will run smoothly over the Internet"
Google is expected to bring this service to the market within the next couple of years. On Wednesday he was asked whether Google Fiber will be coming to more cities, he responded "stay tuned."

As always, I do not spoil the book in my gushes or rants! Here is what I read last week:
Mar 21: "The Temperate Warrior" by Renee Vincent. This is an historical romance (set in 923 AD
). Blurb on back of book (in
blue): Gustaf
Raeliksen lives by the blade of his sword. After avenging his father's murder
and reuniting with his family, he wants nothing more than to settle down and
have sons of his own. Only one woman will do--a fiery redhead he saved from the
spoils of war. No longer forced to warm the beds of the men who've taken
everything from her, Aesa has nothing to offer the noble warrior but her heart.
When someone with a deep score to settle seeks revenge upon her, Gustaf's world
is torn asunder. He has but one vow--saving the woman he loves from the
ignorant fool who dared to best the temperate warrior. These
characters were mentioned in her Emerald Isle Trilogy, but you do not need to
have read those to read this (in other words--you won't be confused). I really
enjoyed this story, as I have enjoyed all of her stories (and I'm not a huge
historical fan). I just love the way she writes. I gave this book 5 stars on
Goodreads. Norway
Mar 22: "Absolution" by Susannah Sandlin. This is a paranormal romance, the second book in the Penton Legacy series. Blurb on back (in blue): Mirren Kincaid remembers the vampire he used to be--and he's not going back. As the Slayer, Mirren served the Vampire Tribunal as its most creative and ruthless executioner. Then he refused a kill order and eventually found himself the protector and second-in-command of the peaceful enclave of
As civil war threatens to break out in the vampire world over the scarcity of
untainted human blood, the Tribunal wants its slayer back--and has sent a
beautiful witch to retrieve him. Descended from a powerful shaman, Glory
Cummings is meant to restore Mirren to his bloodthirsty ways as the Tribunal's
assassin. But Glory doesn't see a killer when she looks at Mirren; she sees a
vampire haunted by his past. Though her mission is to turn him into a monster,
she hopes her magic touch can heal the man she's suddenly falling for. But the
Tribunal has never looked kindly upon defiance. As you can tell by
the dates, I zipped right through this one. Sure, it helped I had a few hours
to kill while waiting for my husband to teach his class, but I have a feeling
it wouldn't have mattered. I just didn't want to put this book down. This is
one series I absolutely love and I'm sad to say I don't have the third in my
hands (although it is on order). This author knows how to hook me! I gave this
book 5 stars on Goodreads. Penton, Alabama
Mar 26: "Water for Elephants" by Sara Gruen. This is labeled simply as fiction. Blurb from Barnes & Noble (in blue): Though he may not speak of them, the memories still dwell inside Jacob Jankowski's ninety-something-year-old mind. Memories of himself as a young man, tossed by fate onto a rickety train that was home to the Benzini Brothers Most Spectacular Show on Earth. Memories of a world filled with freaks and clowns, with wonder and pain and anger and passion; a world with its own narrow, irrational rules, its own way of life, and its own way of death. The world of the circus: to Jacob it was both salvation and a living hell. Jacob was there because his luck had run out—orphaned and penniless, he had no direction until he landed on this locomotive "ship of fools." It was the early part of the Great Depression, and everyone in this third-rate circus was lucky to have any job at all. Marlena, the star of the equestrian act, was there because she fell in love with the wrong man, a handsome circus boss with a wide mean streak. And Rosie the elephant was there because she was the great gray hope, the new act that was going to be the salvation of the circus; the only problem was, Rosie didn't have an act—in fact, she couldn't even follow instructions. The bond that grew among this unlikely trio was one of love and trust, and ultimately, it was their only hope for survival. I saw the movie and really liked it. My daughter said she had the book. I told her I wanted to read it. It had been sitting on my shelf ever since, because other books caught my eye first. But I finally got around to reading this and man, did I enjoy it! I especially loved Jacob (and the story is told in his POV--first person). I read the last 150 pages on a day I was kind of depressed, and it was just what I needed. I gave this book 5 stars on Goodreads.
Three books - whoo hoo! Next week I'll possibly only list one. I will read "Lover at Last," but I also have my second round of edits due back on April 15th. So reading will be at a minimum (after I read the Lover book, of course) until I get this round back to my editor (I just love having one of those!).
Are you getting lots of books read? Any of these sound good to you?

Flash Fiction Charity Event
A week or so back Tyler was invited to take part in a new initiative that's recently sprung up in Cheltenham, and we wanted to spread the word about it: it's a brilliant event series and all for a good cause, so listen up! Local author Alex Clark had the idea of creating an inclusive event that would 'welcome all writers: published writers and unpublished, seasoned readers and debutants.' It's held at Smokey Joe's retro-bar and it's called - wonderfully - the Flashers' Club, due to its focus on flash fiction. Tyler featured as the guest reader, and across the line-up there was some very impressive work on display. Entry is only £3, and all profit goes towards the charity First Story, which places professional writers in schools serving low-income communities. The event is being held on a quarterly basis, and the next one will be in May: so keep tabs on the Flashers' Club blog, and come along to support the charity and enjoy the readings!

Spuds with everything
There was chatter recently regarding the choice and quality of potatoes. I may be wrong, but I'd be surprised if more than 20% of the population could distinguish between the generic offerings of 'red' and 'white', let alone individual varieties. Marfona, Orla and Triplo are popular locally – the latter featuring on today's menu. While half of us consume our potatoes in the form of chips, conscious of weight issues, many refuse to eat the humble tuber in any form. I still can't get my head round this obesity thing. When kids we were fed stodge almost every day, cheese and potato pies were a typical weekly standard. Yet everyone was as thin as a nail?

Bernie, I think the major difference is the level of sugar in a variety of forms which plays such a major part in the diet of most people.

Am sure you're right. Thankfully I've never had much of a sweet tooth. I'm sympathetic to the outsize class. We all have our weaknesses, things that help us cope with life – whether that's booze, drugs, risky behaviour, the gym, religion … or cream cakes. Before we take their sugar away, we have to give them an alternative.

Stuart-Shor, Eileen M. and Nannini, Angela and Ostrem, Mary and Russell, Gail E. and Mittleman, Murray A.
Objectives: Racial and ethnic minorities are at increased risk for hypertension and hypercholesterolemia. Appropriate blood pressure and cholesterol monitoring is a critical first step in identification, treatment, and control of these conditions and the prevention of coronary artery disease. This study examines blood pressure and cholesterol monitoring among non-Hispanic Black, Hispanic, and non-Hispanic White subjects. Design: Data were drawn from the 1999 Massachusetts Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance Survey (BRFSS) Boston oversample. Monitoring for hypertension and hypercholesterolemia were compared across 2515 respondents to the 1999 Boston BRFSS oversample, including (67.6% White non-Hispanic, 18% Black non-Hispanic, and 14.4% Hispanic, any race). Chi square analyses were used to test unadjusted race- and ethnicity-specific differences, and logistic regression was used to estimate the odds of inadequate blood pressure and cholesterol monitoring by race/ ethnicity, adjusting for demographic characteristics, insurance, source of care, psychosocial factors, and neighborhood characteristics. Results: No significant differences were seen in the adequacy of blood pressure and cholesterol monitoring among the racial/ethnic groups of interest, despite significant differences in sociodemographic characteristics and morbidity. Conclusions: In this local dataset, non-Hispanic Blacks and Hispanics, as compared to non-Hispanic Whites, were not more likely to report inadequate blood pressure or cholesterol monitoring. The data suggest that safety net factors in place in Boston may have contributed to the observed parity in access to preventive care among the racial/ethnic groups of interest. The data also suggest that factors antecedent/subsequent to blood pressure and cholesterol monitoring may explain the observed disparities in blood pressure and cholesterol morbidity and control reported for racial/ethnic minorities.

Yesterday was my last working day at HSC, the place where I started my career, just over three years ago. I still remember very well my first day. Its like it was just yesterday, but it wasn't. It was three years ago. It is said Einstein explained his Theory of Relativity to a lay person thus: If you are sitting for an hour on a park bench with someone you love, it seems like a minute; If you are sitting for a minute with someone you hate, it seems like an hour! How quickly these three years passed is unbelievable, so I guess I was having a nice time there.
So what now? Where to next? That only time will tell, but hopefully I will be able to achieve something of what I set out to achieve. Whatever it is, it is going to be the ride of a lifetime. You really can't take risks when you got other things to take care of. But I don't right now. So even if I hurt myself, which seems a very likely possibility, its fine. I can bounce back. But lets hope I don't hurt myself that badly.
Whatever the case, I am going to write about it here! Share my experience of starting up, so that it may help and perhaps inspire others to take the leap of faith. Just like reading others' experience inspired me to. Hopefully it will be helpful.
I have a request for you though! If you read a post, please do comment something. It motivates me to write when I know people are reading it. Plus, now I don't have company gossip or coffee breaks or office communicator to reach out to people. Starting can be get really lonely at times (more on that in another post). So please do comment and keep the interaction going.
To end, there were a lot of people who said/mailed a lot of "all the best" to me but there were two that will motivate me the most in the dark times.
They said:
Hope all your dreams come true. Good luck!
May the force be with you!
and the other one --
I would like to share a saying I came cross last week
"Life is a profound book. Other's notes cannot replace your own understanding. May you find and create something new in it."

The IronPigs have announced a press conference for Tuesday morning at Coca Cola Park. The only clue we are given is that they will, "Raise the Stakes."
Raise the Stakes huh? Well, I was driving down Rt. 22 the other night and observed two over sized trailers pulling giant slabs of preformed concrete. Could the IronPigs be literally, raising, something? Could the (I forget who the sponsor is) Trough be raised up? Could there be a platform above or around other existing areas? Could there be a (gasp) 3rd level to the seating bowl? A theoretical, Clubby Club level for those in want of extreme luxury?
It could also mean raising the stakes of the Iron Rail trophy wager. Being one of only two wagers (known to me) and only active wager, that the IronPigs as an organization have accepted. Could the folks up in Scranton Wilkes Barre have tired of seeing IronPigs' General Manager Kurt Landes singing and want more? Obvious enough, but not sure.
I have to admit that Raising the Stakes brings up some fun childhood memories. One of my Uncles once tried to sell "Tomato Steaks" meaning "Tomato Stakes." Perhaps the IronPigs have made a spelling/word usage error as well.
Could the IronPigs be changing their trademark, their logo, their theme since 2007? Could they literally mean they will begin "Raising the Steaks?"
They have experimented with our bovine friends in the past.. with the ill fated cow plop contest.. but could Steak be the new Bacon?
Could all of the anti-bacon pressure have worked? Are we moving leaner and healthier, albeit in baby steps to satisfy the masses?
The Lehigh Valley Steer? The Lehigh Valley Cows? The Lehigh Valley Herders? For Star Wars night I can already see a LV Scruffy Nerfherder theme.. so many beefy options.. perhaps more of a marketing opportunity than a pig. Would they? That baseball team out in Reading did it. Although Ostrich, I hear is more healthy than beef.. Could you imagine the IronPigs not being the IronPigs?
I doubt it, but couldn't let the chance to rib my cousin (who actually made the sign for my uncle) just one more time.
I wonder what DiPro, Decal and Kram think about this?

Protein Shakes For Lactose Intolerant
Protein Shakes For Lactose Intolerant – Lactose is the sugar that's in milk. Our bodies use an enzyme called lactase to break down that sugar so we can absorb it into our bodies. But people with lactose intolerance don't have enough lactase. People with lactose intolerance experience digestive problems when they eat dairy, which can have a negative effect on quality of life. Lactose intolerance is a digestive disorder caused by the inability to digest lactose, the main carbohydrate in dairy products.
Protein Shakes For Lactose Intolerant – When it comes to protein powders, most people tend to think of whey. Tis easily digested form of protein is often the first choice of athletes and fitness fanatics. However, as a milk byproduct, whey can cause problems for sufferers of lactose intolerance.
The first choice for those looking to avoid the symptoms of lactose intolerance is to take a whey protein isolate such as our Whey Protein Isolate 90. Whey protein isolate undergoes a process called Cross-Flow Micro-filtration. This separates the protein from fat, cholesterol and lactose meaning a purer protein as the end product. Whey protein isolate contains less lactose than most other proteins on the market.
Soy Protein Powder – Soy protein, which is usually found as soy protein isolate, is also a high-quality source of protein. One factor is that it contains estrogen which cannot be suitable for men. This is because it reduces testosterone which is what makes the performance in the bedroom unquestionable.
Pea Protein Powder – Like soy, pea protein is found as a pea protein isolate, which means that it has been processed to isolate the protein from the carbohydrates and fat found in the whole pea. Also lactose-free.

Allan Robertson fires Tom Morris
Tom Morris was born in St. Andrews, Scotland, in 1821. In his early teens, he became a champion street golfer, knocking a ball around the town's thoroughfares. Only the very wealthy could afford to play golf on a course.
In 1835 when Tom was fourteen, his family used a connection to apprentice him ("sell him") to the head pro at St. Andrews Links - Allan Robertson (below). They signed a contract for 9 years: four as an apprentice, and five as a journeyman. No upfront bonus or option year.
Tom's job was to work in Allan's golf ball workshop at St. Andrews. They produced a ball called a feathery, which had been the standard ball in golf since the 1600s. Strips of cowhide were cut into two figure eight pieces like those used in making a baseball, and stitched together. A top hat full of goose feathers was boiled down into a slimy substance, stuffed into the ball, and sewed shut. After drying for a couple of days, the feathers would expand and harden, and the ball would be painted with three coats of white paint. The name "Allan" would be stamped on the finished product, making it the swoosh of the day. Typically, a ballmaker made 3 balls a day. Allan's shop produced about 2,500 a year.
By 1850, Old Tom still worked for Allan. Over the years, Allan had taken Tom out to the course and taught him the game, likely to see if he had any talent that he could exploit. Tom became an accomplished player, and Allan and him formed an unbeatable team called "the Invincibles," winning virtually every betting match they played. Tom had also married Nancy Bayne and had a child, Tom Jr.
At this time, a new type of ball began showing up called the gutta percha. Made of rubber, it was cheaper and more durable, and a threat to Allan's ball business. While he couldn't prevent it being played on St. Andrews, he forbid any of his employees to use it.
One day while playing a friendly round with a member, Tom ran out of featheries. His playing partner gave him a gutta percha to finish his round. Allan somehow saw Tom playing the offensive ball, and fired Tom on the spot. After 15 years of employment, and dozens of winning matches where he kept almost all the winnings! Given his gamesmanship and fiery temperament over the years, it was not surprising what Allan did. This didn't less the blow.
Later that year, Tom Jr. died. He was only four years old. 1850 was a cruel, harsh year.
Tom wins the Open. Twice.
A kind St. Andrews member secured a greenskeeper job for Tom at Prestwick, a newly formed golf club on the other side of Scotland on its western shore. It was so new, it didn't yet have a course, just some land where people randomly hit balls. Tom and his wife Nancy moved there in early 1851.
Tom set up his own ball and club making shop, and set out to design the course. As Prestwick was one of the first courses to ever be deliberately designed, Tom picked up this valuable new skill on the job. He not only thought about the strategic elements of a hole and routing, but also developed innovative construction and maintenance methods.
Amazingly, Tom began to play again with Allan Robertson. Was he just a very forgiving man given his deep religious beliefs? Or was he shrewd enough to understand his chances of winning were best with Allan? Nancy could not have been very pleased, despite them beating all comers during the 1850s. There was considerable debate during this time who was the best player. Sure, Tom and Allan were a great pair, but which one was the best? Or was it someone else like Willie Park, whom they had many great matches? Tom and the Prestwick golfers proposed a new championship to decide this - the Open. It was first held at, naturally, Prestwick in 1860. Eight golfers participated. Willie won, and claimed the championship belt - the first award before the later Claret Jug.
While Willie winning was not a complete shock, it was a minor upset since he was so young. However, Tom restored order, and won the belt the next two years, and also again in 1864. As champion golfer, with three children (including another Tom Jr.), and with financial and critical success at Prestwick, Tom had made a very nice recovery from the calamities of 1850.
Lore moment: Tom returns to St. Andrews
Allan Robertson died in 1859. He still had not been replaced by 1864. So the St. Andrews members voted to lure Tom back from Prestwick to take his place with a salary of 50 pounds for his greenskeeper role, a home, plus all he could make from ball and club making and lessons. Some members were outraged - they had paid Allan nothing for the greenskeeper job. Perhaps Tom had become as skilled in negotiations as he had in his golf career. Or maybe this was the real reason he kept playing with Allan - to keep him top of mind with the St. Andrews members. Old Tom was not just the original golf course designer, but one of the first networkers of the modern age.
Tom and Nancy and family returned to St. Andrews in late 1864, and took up the post in early 1865. Leaving under a cloud of anxiety, doubts, and perhaps self pity, this return must have been particularly satisfying as he returned to old friends and extended family who knew he had been unjustly dismissed. But what deepened this feeling was he seemed to come back without the scarring emotional baggage of revenge and anger given his continued playing relationship with Allan Robertson. In fact, the key lesson may be challenges and tragedies often lead to new opportunities that would not open up without an unexpected change of direction. Ironically, Tom may never have developed the skills and reputation to secure this position without him being sadly sent on his way years before. And when you nobly accept unjust circumstances, life often will square the ledger later. Good things happen to good people.

GREEN At its last meeting of the year, the Green Board of Education heard a presentation on the new Green Rotary Club from member Kristen Lewis.
The club was formed in March and meets at 7:30 a.m. every Wednesday at Akron General Medical Center's lifestyle building in Green.
Lewis talked about the goals of the organization and its plans for the future. Her reason for addressing the board was to lay out a plan for a more permanent Safety City facility at the campuses of Greenwood and Green elementaries to teach children various aspects of safety year round in cooperation with the school district. This would incorporate the city of Green, Green Local Schools and the Summit Country Sheriff's Office.
The membership of the Rotary has a wide range of talent to offer and its members have already been active in Green Good Neighbors and the Blessings in a Backpack program run by the schools. Nothing concrete has been decided, but in addition to Safety City, there is also consideration being given to include a Smart Town to look at ways technology can improve the community.
Anyone interested is encouraged to attend a meeting at the Akron General facility.
In other business:
- There was no student and staff recognition this month.
- The board approved the Treasurer Eydie Snowberger's financial report and the payment of all bills as presented. She also explained the procedure for advance payment on tax funds which the board then approved. The board also accepted a donation for $1,000 from Traveling Classrooms for the Green Middle School field trip to Washington, D.C., in the fall.
- The board passed the Consent Calendar, much of which was taken up by various policies which are in the process of being approved to fall in line with the state requirements. Superintendent Jeff Miller took the opportunity to congratulate Green Intermediate Math teacher Jill Lehman on her upcoming retirement at the end of the school year after more than 30 years in the classroom.
- The meeting was adjourned without executive session.
The next board meeting will be at 6 p.m. Jan. 8 at the Central Administrative Building. The first part of the meeting will be an organizational meeting, followed at 6:30 by the regular board meeting.

Shrewsbury, NJ (Oct. 8, 2018) – The Community YMCA presented its annual Distinguished Citizen Service Award to Christopher D. Maher, chairman and chief executive officer of OceanFirst Bank, and Community Partner Award to New Jersey Natural Gas Company at "A Night of Inspiration Gala" on Sept. 28 at the Ocean Place Resort & Spa in Long Branch.
Approximately 160 people attended the annual fundraising event, which raised $170,000 to benefit The Community YMCA's YCares financial assistance program for kids and families in need of free and reduced membership and program fees, as well as community initiatives such as water safety for at-risk youth and disease prevention.
"The Y's annual gala was a wonderful success thanks to the amazing support of our community," said Laurie Goganzer, president and chief executive officer of The Community YMCA. "We are so thankful to our honorees for their inspiring leadership and congratulate them on this recognition."
Maher was honored for his outstanding community service. A dedicated volunteer in the nonprofit community, he serves on the Board of Trustees of Monmouth University, and as a director of Hackensack Meridian Health Hospitals and Hackensack Meridian Residential Care. He also serves as chairman of the Board of Trustees of Helen Keller Services, a national non-profit agency serving people with hearing and visual disabilities, where he has been involved since 1998. He is also chairman of the Board of Directors of OceanFirst Foundation, which has provided over $36 million to help strengthen more than 600 nonprofits in central and southern New Jersey, including The Community YMCA and other Ys.
New Jersey Natural Gas has been a long-standing partner of The Community YMCA through their support of the Y's Annual Campaign and the Camp Zehnder Capital Campaign, which made it possible for the Y to offer needed year-round swim lessons and aquatics programs to families in southern Monmouth County. In addition, each year the women and men of NJNG contribute over 5,000 hours of volunteer service and help support the important work of more than 1,800 area nonprofit and community organizations. The Community Partner award was accepted by Tom Hayes, NJNG's director of customer and community relations.
Marielaina LaRosa, representing the 13th legislative district for Senator Declan O'Scanlon, Assemblywoman Serena DiMaso, Assemblywoman Amy Handlin, and the State of New Jersey, presented proclamations to both Maher and NJNG's Hayes, acknowledging their accomplishments.
The event featured a "flash mob" of dance and music during the program. About 20 Y employees, Ocean Place resort staff and professional dancers surprised guests with a dance presentation choreographed by LB Kass of DANZHouse Fitness. Guests joined the fun by getting up and dancing to the ever-popular "Y.M.C.A." song by the Village People.
Guests also enjoyed an inspiring video that included the honorees and Y members whose lives have been positively impacted by the Y. The evening also included music from the Infernos Band and a live auction led by Y board member Carol Stillwell that raised over $60,000.
The annual gala was planned by a committee of volunteers and Y staff, led by co-chairpersons and board members Samara O'Neill and Irene Hall.
"We want to thank the Y's supporters, volunteers and staff for such an inspiring event," Goganzer said. "The Y can only thrive with support that it receives from our community. We are truly grateful for the generous contributions that will have a meaningful impact on individuals and families who rely on our essential services."
About The Community YMCA
The Y is a leading nonprofit charity that strengthens communities through youth development, healthy living and social responsibility. The Community YMCA serves more than 20,000 residents in greater Monmouth County, NJ through programs such as: preschool, before and after school care, summer day camp, teen leadership, arts enrichment, health and wellness and personal and family counseling. In 2017, the Y provided $871,250 in financial assistance and program subsidies to strengthen 1,746 children and families in Monmouth County. For more information, visit TheCommunityYMCA.org.

Literature Review Chapter: Positive Effects of Exercise on Osteoarthritis
Pages: 8 (2581 words) · Bibliography Sources: 8 · Level: Master's · Topic: Medical - Nursing · Buy This Paper
[. . .] A 2009 study had similar results to the Edwards et al. study except that it measured to determine whether pain levels were lower after instituting exercise regimes for clients with osteoarthritis of the hip. The study discovered that "in knee OA patients, exercise as a single treatment is proven to be very effective towards counteracting pain and physical functionality" (Pans, van den Akker-Scheek, van derMeer, Bulstra, Stevens, 2009). So far, it seems as if the current literature has all been positive towards the effects of physical activity and exercise, at least in regards to how it lowers the level of obesity in patients and further lowers the incidence of pain and mobility. Of course, the Pans et al. study only used a single treatment exercise as a variable. The proposed study seeks to determine if an implemented exercise regime would accomplish more than just a single exercise treatment does. It does bode well, however, that the Pans study was effective in that "the results of this study will give a first impression of potential effectiveness of exercise and weight loss as a combination program for patients with OA of the hip" (Pans et al. 2009).
There is a reason why this literature review has been ripe with so many references to obesity, at least as it regards to its effects on osteoarthritis, it's because the two go hand-in-hand. As the Edwards et al. study (discussed previously in this paper) determined "Obesity is one of the leading risk factors for the development of knee OA, and population studies show that the increased incidence of obesity in the U.S.A. has correlated with a similar rise in knee osteoarthritis" (Edwards, et al., 2012).
Not all the studies found in current literature find a correlation between exercise and lower levels of pain however. One study determined that various combinations of diet and exercise as weight loss approaches to investigate the impact of weight reduction on knee pain and found that neither diet nor exercise alone significantly improved knee pain" (Messier, Loeser, Miller, 2004, p. 1502). The same study, however, found that when exercise and diet were implemented together "the two together did produce significant improvements" (Messier et al., p. 1502).
Another study determined that dietary habits and initiation of exercise regimes benefited those patients who were suffering from osteoarthritis in the knee (Magrans-Courtney, Wilborn, Rasmussen, 2011). The Margans-Courtney et al. study discovered that those patients suffering from osteoarthritis in the knee (or knees) who implemented exercise regimes were more likely to lower the incidences of pain and be more mobile. The Margans-Courtney study is the study that comes closest to what the proposed study is seeking to discover.
It is hoped that results from the proposed study either confirms or denies the benefits of using exercise as a component to address osteoarthritis in a variety of body areas.
The study wishes to determine that exercise will lower the pain of the patient, and at the same time increase the mobility of the patient in regards to overcoming the debilitating effects of osteoarthritis. It is also hoped that the results will influence future studies and practices in the field of osteoarthritis. If patients suffering from this disease are offered a method for lowering their incidence(s) of pain, then the study will have achieved its desired effects. According to many of the study discussed herein, and many of the studies not included, exercise seems to be one way to effect the crippling effects of osteoarthritis. It is hoped that this study confirms or denies current literature, but at the very least contributes to that literature in a positive manner.

by Allen Wyatt
(last updated November 5, 2016)
Mark is looking for a way to easily convert endnotes to regular text. What he needs is to have the endnote reference still appear in the main document, and then have the endnote text appear at the end of the main document, but as regular text.
When you insert an endnote into a document, Word does a couple of things. First, it inserts an endnote reference at the insertion point and formats that reference according to the Endnote Reference style. Then, the insertion pointer is placed in the endnote area, which is not part of the main text for your document. An endnote reference is placed there and you can start typing the endnote text. This text is, appropriately enough, formatted using the Endnote Text style.
If, after you've developed a bunch of endnotes, you want to change those endnotes back to "regular text" so that they are not part of that endnote area, you are in for a lot of manual work. Basically, you need to perform the following general steps:
Since you need to repeat these steps for every single endnote, it can get quite tedious fairly quickly. If you have a bunch of endnotes, you can shorten the process somewhat by following these general steps:
Of course, if you have to convert endnotes to regular text quite often, then you may be interested in using a commercial program to handle it for you. One such program is called Notestripper, from the good folks at Editorium. You can find info on the product here:
The program is fairly inexpensive, and offers quite a few options.

The Silver Institute has launched a consumer-marketing element as part of its industry programs. The "Silver Marketing Initiative" will combine a media and grassroots campaign to increase awareness and encourage consumer purchases of sterling silver jewelry. It will also educate the consumer and trade press on sterling silver and be a source of market information and product news on sterling silver.
"The consensus of our Executive Committee is that the time is right to introduce an industry-supported marketing program in the U.S., with the initial focus being on silver jewelry," said Michael DiRienzo, Silver Institute executive director.
Michael Barlerin Associates, led by the former CEO of the World Gold Council Americas, will develop and roll out the program.
"In light of what has been happening to the price of the other noble metals, now is definitely the time for silver jewelry," Michael Barlerin said. "I am also gratified by the response I have already received from key members of the jewelry trade when I told them that the SMI was to be launched."Follow JCK on Instagram: @jckmagazine

If you are a creative looking to share your work + engage in a casual critique with other artists, then this event is for you.
Join me on Saturday, March 24th, as we discuss our recent works over a light brunch, hot coffee (and some liquid courage for those who find that helpful)! The goal is for each of us to enjoy an inspiring morning by getting to know the work of other artists and to leave with encouragement to continue pursuing our creative endeavors.
Attendees who would like to have a critique of their work should bring one or two pieces/projects to share and each artist will have an opportunity to get verbal and/or written feedback. Works in progress are perfectly fine.
If you don't have any work to bring but would like to participate (network, meet other creatives, enjoy a mimosa) Please join us! Your support is more than welcome!
This event, which I hope will be the first of many, is open to eight attendees and will take place at my home (located in the Inglewood neighborhood of East Nashville).
