The runner's high is a beautiful thing. If you've never experienced it then you might want to consider giving running a chance. Many people say they hate running and they can't see why so many people do it.
How to Get the Runner's High
The first time you run it is unlikely you'll experience the high. It may take several times or even a few weeks of running. It also helps to run longer distances. So when you are starting out and not running as far, it is unlikely you will experience it. But after some consistency and lengthening of your runs you should start to notice the feeling.
What Does the Runner's High Feel Like?
The runner's high can be subtle. Sometimes it merely feels like you've hit a pleasant rhythm in your run and feel like you could continue on forever. Other times you might find your mind drifting off to solve all the problems of the world in a neat and manageable way. In between you can find the sweet spot of a light euphoric feeling that melts away the problems of your life. In the middle of good run, everything seems more achievable and less stressful.
Benefits to Everyday Life
If you make running a consistent part of your life you may notice that you feel different not just when you're running but all time. There are a few reasons for this.
The first is that the more time your mind spends experiencing the runner's high the more stress-free you can feel in general. You may also start to look forward to your runs more and more. This type of rhythm is very good for your mental state. Running is good for you both physically and psychologically so it can really improve your overall quality of life if it becomes a significant part of your routine.
How to Fit Running into Your Life
Many of us live busy lives with loads of responsibilities. So how do you fit running into your life? Well remember that you need to start slow. If you take a break from running, be it a week or a month, start with a fifteen minute daily run to get back into it.
Juggling a busy schedule can be one of the hardest things in life but dedicating 15 minutes to something that will promote long-term health for you (and by extension, your family) could be the most important addition to your life.
Perhaps you don't have more than 15 minutes to set aside. That's okay. You don't have to work up to running for hours on end. You can merely increase your speed when you feel up to it. You can start by running one mile and by the end of the month you can move on to two miles in 15 minutes. Increasing your speed incrementally will also produce positive results in your mind and body even if you're only running for a short amount of time.
What Are You Waiting For?
Motivation is the hardest part of any training. But if you are serious about improving your mind and body you need to start now. It may not be fun for the first week and you may not experience a runner's high for another week after that. But if you keep up with it, introducing running to routine just might be the best decision you can make.
As you're reading this this, what month is it? How do you want one month from now? Putting yourself first with running and giving it a shot to improve your life can make a difference in no time at all.
Scientists and psychologists the world over, recognize the positive effects running can have on our lives. It's no secret that healthy people have a decent amount of cardio-vascular activity in their daily lives. So what are you waiting for? Start you running routine today and soon you too can be reaping the benefits.

The process of emotional maturity entails becoming aware of the "significance of feelings". In order to become aware one must have enough inner emotional condition to take growth-producing steps throughout life. The end process of emotional maturity means that an individual has developed a certain understanding of their whole self and a dependable individuality. Attaining this level of maturity means an individual has attained self-awareness and a morally responsible attitude towards others. By being called emotional mature does not refer to physical enhancement but rather psychological development. (Hepner, 1979; Heath, 1965 pp 4; Horton, 2004 pp 57; Myklebust, 1994 pp 19).
When becoming emotional maturity one must not ignore their emotions and act like they have no feelings. It does however mean that one must be able to recognize their emotional development and the process that it entails in becoming aware of the significance of feelings. One must be able to control their emotions in order to enjoy their life as this is a fundamental issue of becoming emotionally mature. In order to benefit from emotional maturity one must have the ability to quickly put their feelings into perspective by evaluating the consequences of their actions before reacting to a situation. Their actions are determined by the integration of various aspects of personality into the self. Through these actions one is able attain emotional maturity although everyone matures in their own unique way (James, 2010; Landau, 1998; Myklebust, 1994).
An individual might lack the ability of maturity but still have a high abstract intelligence. That individual may be clever in the study of certain books, but may never of had the chance to study the type of books or have had the experiences in life that are necessary in order to make that individual a well-adjusted and mature adult. The emotional aspect though must not been seen as an opposite of the intellectual but rather as a complementary element to one's personality (Hepner, 1979; Landua, 1998).

Kimu Q&A
Design Anthology recently sat down with Kelly Lin, one of the young designers that make up Taipei-based Kimu, to find out more about how they work and how they came to join forces to become one of the city's most talented up-and-coming design studios.
Design Anthology: Does the name Kimu have a meaning?
Kelly Lin: Yes. So Kimu is derived from the Chinese words Qi and Mu, meaning 'seven' and 'wood'. Between the names of the founders we have seven of the 'wood' (木) characters. It can be difficult to explain to foreigners!
How many people are in your studio?
I am one of three designers in the studio. We each come up with ideas and then we decide which one to produce. Maybe this time it will be mine, the next time from one of the others. We vote! But we always finish each product together as a team.
How did the three of you meet?
We all met at Taiwan Designer's week! Ketty Shih and I designed something very similar, so we were both curious who it was that designed the other product. The next year we met and realised who the other was. It was two years later that we decided to start a business. We wanted to create jobs for ourselves that we would always want to do, and never quit.
Who designed the light fixtures — the New Old Light series — and how did the design come about?
That one is mine. We realised no one else in Taipei was really doing lighting. We had been experimenting with other forms for a while, but they always looked ugly! Then we came up with a prototype and took it to London for an exhibition. People seemed interested. We weren't really sure if we could go into mass production though.
How did you create the prototype?
It was only two years after graduating, and we didn't really know how to work with the factories. We were soon invited to show at an exhibition in Germany and we were thinking we would sell the design to a company, just like we were seeing other designers do. So we thought we should try to take this into mass production. We had to slightly change the shape to be able to produce it. Originally the prototype was in plastic, but now it is produced in powder-coated aluminium.
When did you first realise you wanted to be a designer?
I think it was when I was in college. Our designer Ketty knew much younger — her high school majored in art, but not mine. Alex Yeh and I studied at Cheng Kung University.
What did you study?
Industrial design. But in my second year I considered giving it up because I was interested in psychology and biology. And at that time I was quite confused because I didn't think my work was very good. But I continued and my graduate work won the Red Dot Best of the Best prize, so I thought I could continue.

I have been working as a high performance tennis coach for the past six years and the biggest challenge when working with high level players is to create the same sense of urgency to be successful in the sport they are pursuing as they put into their education.
In the United States, education is required; every child is expected to start school in kindergarten or first grade and continue to go until they graduate from high school 12 years later. In addition to education, an emphasis is placed on other cultural enhancements, choir, playing an instrument, or debate team. On the other hand, sports and athletics are a leisure activity, participated in to round out the transcript or to teach a child "life lessons." What parents need to understand is, if they want their child to succeed in their athletic career, the same level of commitment needs to be placed on practice, competition, and sports related homework, as is placed on education and cultural activities.
Parents will take great pride in their child's attendance record and deans list awards at school, but think nothing of canceling a tennis lesson because their child has a play date, an important test, or the parent has something else on their schedule. This is problematic for a couple reasons. First, being that parents will cancel that tennis lesson but then put the same level of pressure on the child to succeed when in competition. Secondly, the child will not put the same level of effort into achieving success on the athletic field as they do in an academic setting.
The second reason is the area that I find most troubling. Many times I will ask a kid to tell me their effort level on a scale of 1-10 or what percentage out of 100 they are trying. To often the answer is 5 out of 10 or under 100%. How is it possible for a child to expect success when they are only trying to succeed half of their max level?
This mentality by parents creates distorted expectations and an unfair level of pressure on the children. A disconnect is created when the level of commitment is not the same for athletics as it is for school. Children are shown that it is not as important to maintain their level of focus and commitment in sport but they are then expected to excel nonetheless.
Most parents expect their children to receive A's in school, and insure they are doing their homework and study for their tests. In the same breath, they expect their children to excel in sports but don't make sure they stretch before working out, ice after, or allow them to work out at all. This mentality is one of the major factors limiting American.
Along the same lines, parents need to create a support system with their children to ensure success. A parent would never think of sending their child to school without the proper school books, but they would send them to practice without the correct racquet. A parent would make sure a child struggling academically would receive a tutor; a struggling athlete may be expected to perform without additional help.
While I understand academics are considered the most important thing as a child. I was home schooled and feel that athletics were just as much a part of my education as book learning. I believe they way to well rounded children is excellence in all areas of life.

To a new gym-goer, the 2.5-pound plates may seem pointless. I, myself, can remember thinking "Pshh, who would ever use these things? I mean sure I guess it could train your ego, but why does it matter between 225 pounds and 230 pounds, especially when you get into the higher weights and rep ranges?" I'm here to tell you that there is a reason that goes well beyond your muscles, but first a quick psychology lesson.
Our lesson today comes from the spectrum of perception and sensation, specifically the art of detection. Every sensation that you experience is produced by a stimulus, but in order for this stimulus to actually produce a reaction, it must first break a "threshold." Now there are absolute thresholds, which is the minimum amount of energy required to detect a stimulus. For instance, a candle is noticeable on a dark, clear night from 30 miles away, and yes, that actually is the first official recording of the absolute threshold for eyesight.
The other kind of threshold is called a difference threshold, or a just noticeable difference (JND). This is the extent of difference necessary to distinguish between two stimuli. For instance, during your annual check-up the doctor tests your hearing and he plays signals to ensure that you're hearing correctly, and he continues to oscillate the volume until you're just barely able to hear. This difference between being able to hear the beeps and hearing absolutely nothing or fake signals from the machine is the JND.
So what does this all have to do with weight training and strength gains? Well as it turns out a physician named Ernst Weber expanded these two types of thresholds to produce Weber's Law. This states that at low levels of stimulus there needs to be smaller changers to encounter a JND, but at higher levels there needs to be a larger difference in order to be a JND.
This can apply to weight training for the following reason. Your body will not notice a difference unless the added stimulus triggers a JND; therefore at higher weights, you will need more than just 5 extra pounds for the sensation to take over. This technique of using the JND and Weber's Law can be applied in the following way.
One fairly common strength training technique is wave loading, which upon explanation makes perfect sense why it works and it's all because of Weber's Law. Wave loading works like this: let's pretend your six-rep max in the back squat is 135 lb. so you would use 135 pounds for your first set of six. The next set you'd use 145 pounds for a set of four, and then 155 pounds for a set of two. The next set you'd use 150 pounds for another set of four and then 160 pounds for another set of two.
This works because your body adjusted to the 155 pounds so then when you dropped down to 150, you were able to do this for two more reps, but you increased five pounds from your last four-rep set. Almost like magic you're five pounds stronger, and the next week your six-rep max will almost definitely be 140, or at least you will be able to grind out 135 for seven or eight.
This can be attributed to Weber's Law, and I strongly recommend incorporating wave loading into your strength training routines. At first, it's only five pounds per session, but over the course of a month, at twice a week, that could mean a 40-pound increase!
Yes, you are actually getting stronger, but you can thank your psychology professors and German physician Ernst Weber for discovering the science behind why it works.

When shopping for life insurance, you're probably more likely to buy it a lot quicker than the months typically spent researching a new car or computer purchase.
That can be a good thing if you need life insurance immediately, but not so good if you're looking for the best price.
For people who have the time to shop for life insurance, there are some things they can do in the months — even a year — before buying a policy that will save them money and ensure they get the coverage that's right for them and their family. Here are some of the things to do before buying life insurance:
Plan Before Buying Life Insurance
One to two months of research should be done before buying life insurance, says Tony Steuer, an insurance literacy expert and author of books on life insurance. It won't be as sexy as buying a new car or an electronic gadget, but the work will likely save you money over going with the first insurance agent you meet, Steuer says.
"Most people don't have a favorable view of the insurance industry, especially the life insurance industry," he says, "and then there's the issue of dealing with your mortality."
Seek non-biased information and start with the type and amount of insurance needed, Steuer says.
We rarely suggest waiting to buy life insurance, but this is one of the rare cases where it's okay. You should do some planning beforehand, but don't wait too long. Younger applicants will always do better.
Determine You Life Insurance Need
This sounds like an easy decision, but it should be the first step to determine how much coverage and what type of life insurance you need. Meet with a licensed insurance broker to determine your needs, goals and wants, says Ellen Davis, president of Life Health Home Insurance Group.
This decision can include deciding what you want the insurance to do for you and your family, such as paying off current debt, paying off the mortgage, creating a college fund, creating an estate, or protecting your assets, Davis says. Does your income need be replaced if you die?
Find a broker you feel comfortable with and can trust, she says. "Remember you have to reveal a lot of personal information and you want someone that will hold your hand not only throughout the initial process but will be there each and every year to review your coverage," Davis says.
Legal documents should be updated so that there are proper and thorough instructions, recommends Brian Kuhn, a certified financial planner in Fulton, Maryland. Shoppers should also consider if any provisions or alternative insurance is needed to cover disability, Kuhn says.
You should also determine if you want permanent or term life insurance. Your needs can change over time, such as during major life events as getting married, having a child or buying a home. You may want term life insurance, for example, up until retirement if your children have left your home and your spouse no longer needs to work.
Having a baby is the most common triggering event for buying life insurance, followed by marriage, Steuer says. As more people get married later in life, they may be getting advice from financial planners to buy life insurance, he says.
Stop Smoking Before Life Insurance
The less risky you are as an insurance candidate, the lower your insurance premiums will be. To lower your risk, and costs, a lot, stop smoking. Smokers can pay more than twice as much as non-smokers for life insurance, with more medical problems and higher auto and home insurance rates.
Even if you only smoke a cigar occasionally, smoking one a day or so before taking a medical exam to determine your insurance costs can lead you to be classified as a smoker with many companies, because nicotine may still be in your blood.
Lose Weight for Health Insurance
Being classified as obese can also put you in a more expensive classification by insurance companies, so losing a few pounds can also lead to lower rates. Whether this takes you a year or a few months to do, the savings can be worthwhile.
"Get a copy of your last annual check-up from your physician and assess your profile with respect to insurance risk factors," says Liam Robertson, a certified financial planner and CEO of Cro-Mag, a lifestyle coaching business for men's health in Canada.
"My recommendation is to adopt a low-carb active lifestyle, avoid high-risk activities such as skydiving and mountain climbing, quit smoking, and reduce alcohol intake."
Another awesome way to boost your new healthy lifestyle is to start a vitamin or supplement regiment. Giving you that extra boost of energy or replenishing your vitamin D not only will help your chemical makeup but also will keep you mentally strong throughout the day!
The best way to lose weight is to take a long-term approach to it and take a year to lose one to two pounds of fat per week, says Torey Jones Armul, a registered dietician and spokeswoman for the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. It will lead to permanent weight loss better than a plan that promises immediate results, Armul says.
"We don't gain weight overnight, thankfully, but that means we don't lose a significant amount of weight overnight, either," she says. "Slow and steady wins the race."
"I wish it were more common than it is," Armul says of people trying to lose weight in a healthy way over the long-term. "With most people they want to lose weight yesterday."
It can be done in simple steps that should lead to a moderate weight loss of a pound a week, she says. That's only a 500-calorie deficit per day, Armul says, which can be split into burning 300 extra calories during exercise and 200 saved by eating less food.
For example, she says, burn 300 calories by running for 30 minutes, walking 7,000 steps or taking a 30-minute dance or aerobics class.
Reduce 200 calories from your diet by cutting your pasta portion in half, choosing fruit for dessert, or avoiding the restaurant bread basket.
Since losing weight can take so much time, it might not make sense to wait if you need the insurance coverage now, says Michael Argiro, a financial adviser at 4T Financial in Wallingford, CT.
"If you do need the coverage you can always look around once you lose weight, stop smoking or improve your health," Argiro says. "The important thing is to have the coverage in place if you need it."
You can always go back to your insurer and get a better price quote for a new policy when you lose weight, stop smoking and take care of other health problems.

A week or so ago I was encouraged to write a letter to the Times commenting on an article which implied that the new, multi-part series on Civilisations was a sad letdown from the cultural authority and certainty expressed by Kenneth Clark in the original 1969 television series on Civilisation (in the singular). I refused on the grounds that I could not possibly comment on something I hadn't seen, other than the short clips shown at its launch. I have now watched the first episode, Second Moment of Creation, which I thought was wholly admirable: extraordinarily wide-ranging (I don't think I have been to a single one of the places filmed), beautifully filmed and delivered with appropriately intelligent and avuncular authority by Simon Schama. So, I disagree with the many people who have been disparaging about it.
8 thoughts on "Civilisations (1)"
I agree with you. I thought it wide ranging and excellent. And all of them spoke about it very well on Andrew Marr's Start the Week on Radio Four. They recognised Kenneth Clark's brilliance without being daunted by it. It bodes well.
I asked David Olusoga why Civilisations wouldn't encompass any music – he said it was a purely visual exploration. Rather disappointing response.
A very good point, Paul. Clark used music effectively. It's definitely a weakness of this production, but, that aside, I think its very good, so far (!).
Charles, I, too, thought that the first episode (the only one I have so far seen) was first rate and made me think about human creativity in a different way. It was absolutely not about soppy relativist judgements as I had been led to believe.Clark stated at the outset what he intended to do and did it splendidly. This also set out its stall and in this episode did it splendidly.

ASPIRE is a quarterly magazine published by PCI in cooperation with the associations of the National Concrete Bridge Council. The editorial content focuses on the latest technology and key issues in the Concrete Bridge Industry.
Issue link: http://www.aspiremagazinebyengineers.com/i/306855
The Pacific Street Bridge spans over the San Luis Rey River at the mouth of the lagoon where the river meets the Pacific Ocean at Oceanside, Calif. The river is one of the major river systems in the County of San Diego, but was blocked off from the ocean by a low- flow crossing connecting the residential communities on the south side to the businesses on the north side of the river. Contribution to the Community The Oceanside Harbor is home to the businesses catering primarily to recreation, such as restaurants, shops, charter fishing, and beach rentals. The original low-flow crossing was the only direct north-south connection over the river in the heart of Oceanside. It was subject to flooding and recurring washout during every major storm, crippling the residents and businesses in the area. The Pacific Street Bridge replaced the unstable, temporary nature of the crossing and was designed to withstand the 100-year storm, bringing peace of mind to the residents and businesses in the area. Design Challenges Addressed The Pacific Street Bridge is a four- span, post-tensioned, cast-in-place concrete structure with a unique S-curve alignment spanning 635 ft over the San Luis Rey River. Consideration had to be given to impacts of the bridge construction method on environmentally sensitive habitats in the area, quality of air, the river's wildlife, and hydrology of the river. All had to be considered and incorporated into the bridge type selection and design. The span lengths are 136, 181, 181, and 136 ft and the bridge is 53 ft 6 in. wide. The girder has a curved soffit with overall depth varying from 6 ft 3 in. at midspan to 8 ft 6 in. at the piers. The variable depth was selected to reduce the number of supports in the river and to create the illusion of an arched gateway to the ocean. The graceful horizontal and vertical curves of the bridge gave new meaning to the beauty created by a concrete structure. The post-tensioning comprised three tendons in each web for a total of 12. profile PACIFIC STREET BRIDGE OVER SAN LUIS REY RIVER / OCEANSIDE, CALIFORNIA BRIDGE DESIGN ENGINEER: T.Y.

Just this morning, for a slap-stick example, I trekked from house to barn without my cover-alls because they were cold and inconveniently shoved into the bottom of the entry closet and anyway I never get all that dirty. And as any observant human versed in the irony of fate, today was the day where the March mud was too thick for the crap load and the wheelbarrow and I were obligated to wrestle and I was dressed, not as a seasoned wrestler, but as idiot in fresh jeans. And that's how I am, ill-suited for almost every task of modern life, like I'm the one that was born yesterday.
Is it really possible to come into this world like that, completely prepared for it? That's why I stare at the baby chicks. My kids are maybe thinking they're cute, but I'm trying to suss out the magic of being perfectly suited to the life before you.
We picked up a rainbow of chicks. The store policy, untransgressible as always, is a minimum purchase of six chicks. So we came home with six - several more than I wanted. We can see the housing crash coming from here. We are going to have to figure out how to house 8 chickens (including the two that survived our first batch). It's a riddle alright.
|humanling mastering the fine art of existence
It's not that you don't want to do anything, it's that with chickens there's not much to be done. I no longer felt like telling her how I cradled them, hand mixed antibiotics, pried open their lock-jawed beaks and dripped it in on Christmas Eve. I no longer felt like cataloging the process of the discovery: NO vets in the area know anything about chickens. When I meet these sorts of quick, erroneous assumptions, I admit I'm confused about how to deal with them. I don't owe anyone anything, any explanation, any excuse, anything. And that's all explanations sound like to someone who's made up their mind about you: lame excuses. And yet, sometimes it might make sense to defend oneself and reputation, but it's just chickens...
In other arenas, I'm learning to bite back and bite quickly. I present more Valley Girl than Smarty Pants. This is really a problem, believe me. And so when patronizing arises in circumstances where I need to be respected and heard, it seems to be working well for me to address the problem immediately, mid-sentence, and them move on to my larger point. But with chickens, who the hell cares? I guess that's just what she meant... they're not worth biting back about.
So we've got Leghorn ("Ah say, ah say, ah say whatcha lookin' at, son!") Luna, Rhode Island Red Poppy, Rhode Island Red Glory, Wyandotte Sri Racha, Black Sex Link Ninja, and Black Australorp Zoe. And in a few months, they'll meet Barred Rock Dragon and White Rock Priscilla. That's eight chickens and seven varieties. As they say: We don't just tolerate diversity, we celebrate it! And until disease, coyote or owl strike, this is our rainbow of egg-makers, a pot of golden yolks at the end.

The product descriptions that show up on the MarketPress "products" page or the "store" page look an awful like the_excerpt in Wordpress -- basically all text formatting is ignored.
The only way to get the product descriptions to show their formatting (like paragraph line breaks, bolded text, etc.) is to manually input the raw HTML into the "Excerpt" area of the MarketPress "add new product" page.
Is there a way to display the product description formatting on the products/store pages so that it looks more like the_content ?

"Inventing Edward Lear is an exceptional, valuable, original study, presenting new materials on aspects of Lear's life and work."
--Jenny Uglow, author of Mr. Lear and The Lunar Men
Edward Lear wrote some of the best-loved poems in English, including "The Owl and the Pussycat," but the father of nonsense was far more than a poet. He was a naturalist, a brilliant landscape painter, an experimental travel writer, and an accomplished composer. Sara Lodge presents the fullest account yet of Lear's passionate engagement in the intellectual, social, and cultural life of his times.
Lear had a difficult start in life. He was epileptic, asthmatic, and depressive, but even as a child a consummate performer who projected himself into others' affections. He became, by John James Audubon's estimate, one of the greatest ornithological artists of the age. Queen Victoria--an admirer--chose him to be her painting teacher. He popularized the limerick, set Tennyson's verse to music, and opened fresh doors for children and adults to share fantasies of magical escape. Lodge draws on diaries, letters, and new archival sources to paint a vivid picture of Lear that explores his musical influences, his religious nonconformity, his relationship with the Pre-Raphaelite movement, and the connections between his scientific and artistic work. He invented himself as a character: awkward but funny, absurdly sympathetic. In Lodge's hands, Lear emerges as a dynamic and irreverent polymath whose conversation continues to draw us in.
Inventing Edward Lear is an original and moving account of one of the most intriguing and creative of all Victorians.

Noble Tea brings boba and snacks to Sawtelle
A new Taiwanese spot, offering bubble tea, snacks and more, has debuted in the neighborhood. The fresh arrival to Sawtelle, called Noble Tea, is located at 11307 Mississippi Ave.
On the menu, expect to see an assortment of organic loose-leaf brewed teas, such as lavender milk, fresh grapefruit black, sea salt cream and brown sugar milk slush with boba.
Snacks, sandwiches and desserts are on hand as well, with offerings like sweet potato fries, deep-fried squid balls, a shredded pork sandwich with egg, and custard taiyaki — a Japanese fish-shaped cake with rich custard filling. (You can check out the full menu here.)
With a four-star rating out of 46 reviews on Yelp so far, the new addition has made a promising start.
Aileen N., who was among the first Yelpers to review the new spot on July 21, wrote, "I ordered the honey black tea with aloe and got less sugar, because I like more tea flavored drinks. The drink was exactly what I was looking for in regards to taste, and also a nice size for the price I paid."
"I strongly recommend brown sugar milk tea with boba and red bean!" said Yelper Sara L. "Amazingly good! Noble Tea uses real milk, which tastes a lot better than the milk powder."
Head on over to check it out: Noble Tea is open from noon–12:30 a.m. on Sunday-Thursday and noon–1 a.m. on Friday and Saturday.

Unlike the Canadian cannabis producers who have been gearing up for the legalization of recreational marijuana since last year, Namaste Technologies (CVE:N), an online retailer of ancillary hardware cannabis products, was relatively indifferent about the move until very recently. This didn't have a significant negative impact on investor sentiment, as the stock has risen from C$0.21 per share in November 2017 to C$3.55 per share at present. In this note, we discuss the distinguishing characteristics of Namaste Technologies' business model and how it can allow for upside potential for the company in the coming years.
We currently have a price estimate of $7.00 per share for Namaste Technologies, which is higher than its market price. View our interactive dashboard – Namaste Technologies' Price Estimate – and modify the key drivers to visualize the impact on its valuation.

Namaste's Business Model
Namaste is a Vancouver-based online retailer of medical cannabis delivery systems, including vaporizers and smoking accessories, operating through its 30 e-commerce sites in over 20 countries and distribution hubs located across the globe. Unlike conventional licensed producers of cannabis, the company does not grow and sell cannabis products but sells ancillary products that facilitate the consumption of medical cannabis. This means that whether the patient acquires the cannabis itself from the legal or illicit market, the demand for accessories is likely to remain strong. This opens up an array of opportunities for Namaste, as there are several markets that are likely to witness a surge in medical cannabis consumption in the near future. The company could tap into those markets and become a leader in online sales of medical cannabis delivery systems.
Entry Into Sale Of Cannabis Products
Namaste is also planning to venture into the sale of medical cannabis consumables. For this, the company has cemented partnerships and supply agreements with LPs and other facilitators across Canada in the last two years. These include the acquisition of a 15% equity stake in Pineapple Express, a same-day cannabis delivery platform, to complement the distribution and logistics on its e-commerce platform. Further, the company has entered into supply agreements with LPs such as Aurora Cannabis and Aphria to purchase bulk medical cannabis from them and sell it on its e-commerce platform.
In addition, Namaste earlier this year launched an artificial intelligence-driven app – NamasteMD – which became Canada's first fully integrated patient consultation portal. The platform connects patients to doctors or practitioners who are licensed to provide medical prescription to patients after a short online survey and interview. Once the patient receives the prescription, he/she is re-directed to the company's website to complete the purchase. This platform enables patients to obtain prescriptions from medical practitioners as well as purchase the recommended strain, both at the same place. Given the platform's relative uniqueness, Namaste has a first mover advantage which it can capitalize on going forward.
Furthermore, Namaste announced the pre-launch of a medical cannabis online marketplace – CannMart.com – earlier this week. The company's subsidiary, CannMart, is expected to receive a sales-only license under Health Canada's Access to Cannabis for Medical Purposes Regulations Program in the coming months. Assuming this milestone is achieved, Namaste will be able to procure and sell medical cannabis from both domestic and international Health Canada approved cultivators and offer them on an AI-driven e-commerce marketplace designed to provide a unique and personalized experience to each patient. The new marketplace will allow Namaste to bring together medical cannabis consumables from various LPs and brands, and sell them on its platform. This will not only enable the company to sell end-to-end medical cannabis products through its platform, but also allow it to offer a wide range of curated cannabis consumables that it can import from across the world, without having to grow it in-house. Since the company does not plan to grow medical cannabis, it is likely to have lower overhead costs, which should enhance its profitability in the coming years.
International Expansion
Lastly, Namaste plans to replicate its business model in Canada in international markets by launching a technology similar to NamasteMD in those markets. The company currently has a presence in the UK, Canada, and Germany and holds a portion of the online cannabis markets in Europe and Australia. With the growing demand for medical cannabis products, the company is aiming to cater to emerging markets such as Brazil, Mexico, and Chile through a number of new supply channels.

People who take public transportation in cities around the world are familiar with a certain kind of annoying problem: "manspreading."
For whatever reason, men who sit on public trains and buses are accustomed to spreading out their legs as far as they can go, leaving little room to sit for any other passengers.
Tumblr blogs dedicated to the issue, like "Men Taking Up Too Much Space On The Train," and another, "Saving Room For Cats" which imagines felines in the huge gaps of space between the men's legs, have brought manspreading into the mainstream.
Even The New York Times got on board, putting a story about the blight on the front page of its Sunday paper.
To combat this this growing problem, New York City's MTA has unveiled a new courtesy campaign targeting the dreaded manspreading with a polite, but firm, request: "Dude... Stop the spread, please."
The friendly reminder, along with a list of other dos and don'ts ("It's a subway car not a dining car" and "Don't be a pole hog") are part of the "Courtesy Counts, Manners Make a Better Ride" campaign and will appear inside MTA buses and subway cars starting in January.
They will then expand to the MTA's commuter rail in February. Plans are also underway to include the reminder in the vocal courtesy announcements inside train cars.
Paul Fleuranges, the MTA's senior director for communications, told The New York Times that while he didn't want the message to be too snarky, he had to speak directly to the offending passengers.
"I had them add the dude part, because I think, 'Dude, really?'" he said.
The Times also interviewed admitted manspreaders, one of whom simply claimed "It's more comfortable," while another said he would gladly move if someone asked to sit. However, the paper also interviewed a woman on the same train who claimed she would be "uncomfortable" asking the man to close his legs.
NYC-interest blog Gothamist also took to the New York City subway where they interviewed manspreaders engaging in the act.They confronted them, and then asked what an appropriate amount of space was to set their legs apart.
All the Gothamist interviewees were not even aware of their etiquette problem, and all had wildly different answers on how much was space was appropriate.
Some defended their wide open legs as "necessary," claiming men have a factor that keeps their legs open women lack. The evidence of other men sitting with their legs together, and the fact that there is no biological reason not to sit with your legs closed, however, seems to contradict this.
It's unclear whether this etiquette campaign will actually change New Yorker's spreading behavior. But, for all of our sakes, it's worth a shot.

What comes to mind when you hear the phrase "HIV Testing Day" might not reflect today's reality. Since the first National HIV Testing Day was observed on June 27, 1995, a lot has changed:
- HIV testing now is routine. Everyone between the ages of 13 and 64 should be tested for HIV at least once, recommends the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
- HIV testing now offers options. Three different types of tests are available; they help identify an infection at different stages. The test might use blood, urine, or saliva.
- HIV testing now can be fast and anonymous. Home test kits can deliver a preliminary result in less than 30 minutes.
What's still true – now more than ever – is that HIV testing remains the key strategy for slowing the spread of HIV and AIDS. About 13 percent of the people with HIV in the United States do not know they have the virus. Worldwide, that number is 40 percent.
And HIV testing is key to the objectives advanced by the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS):
- By 2020, 90% of all people living with HIV will know their HIV status.
- By 2020, 90% of all people with diagnosed HIV infection will receive sustained antiretroviral therapy.
- By 2020, 90% of all people receiving antiretroviral therapy will have viral suppression.
"It's in all our interests to get to the first 90," says Repsina Chintalova-Dallas, a technical advisor on JSI's AIDSFree Project. She moderates an online HIV Testing Services Community of Practice that brings together more than 700 professionals from 58 countries. The vast majority of members are from outside the United States.
Four times a week, Chintalova-Dallas posts a carefully chosen scientific article, news item, professional tool, or similar resource. The goal is to inform and spark conversation among members.
The strategy works. A recent posting was an article co-authored by JSI colleagues Michael Chanda, Kalasa Mwanda, Wendy Nicodemus, Rebecca Sikaundi, and Andrew Fullem on using peer educators to introduce HIV self-testing. When community members chimed in with questions and comments, they got responses quickly – and from the original authors.
"There's no doubt in my mind this is a valuable resource," says Chintalova-Dallas.
Two rapidly changing issues in the field right now are how to encourage HIV self-testing and how to organize partner notification. Chintalova-Dallas brought colleagues up to date on these topics this month with a JSI in-service.
Getting out that kind of information is at the heart of the community's mission, says Chintalova-Dallas. "If 10 people come in and you're able to do partner notification with only one, that's better than yesterday," she says.
June 27, 2017, is National HIV Testing Day. For more information, join the AIDSFree HIV Testing Community of Practice.

The choice of pavers for your new patio is one that could potentially last a lifetime. Therefore, it's worth making sure the decision is one that will pay off in the long run. In this post we'll take a look at how you can make the most of this lifetime investment and get the perfect patio paver for your needs.
Choosing the right material
The right material for your patio is one that will stand up to your expectations of longevity and be durable enough to maintain its condition under your particular demands. Other factors include safety - which might entail a non-slip surface, particularly if your patio is open to the rain or if it flows into a pool area - and of course aesthetics which is important in contributing to a space that you can enjoy year after year. Matching your patio paver material to existing or planned hardscaped features, such as an outdoor fireplace, is key.
Types of materials
Popular paving materials include sandstone, limestone, travertine, bluestone, flagstone, granite, slate, brick and concrete pavers. Sandstone, limestone and travertine offer a fine grain and elegant aesthetic with subtle white and light brown coloring. All three are non-slip, but can be prone to pitting and therefore require some maintenance. Bluestone and flagstone are hardy and offer natural, sometimes rustic aesthetic. These two popular sedimentary rocks provide lifelong service with flagstone offering a warm, rich appearance and bluestone providing a more formal blue/gray. Granite and slate are both extremely durable with slate being a uniform black/gray and granite providing a mottled color and texture. Slate and polished granite can be quite slippery so are not suitable for poolside patios, however rough hewn finishes are available for granite to counteract this.
A timeless option, brick pavers offer a quaint aesthetic and warm color. Actual brick is not a particularly durable paving material, however, which is why most brick pavers on the market today are actually made from concrete. In general, concrete pavers provide extreme durability and longevity and can serve as a convincing substitute to most other paving materials. Despite their economic and environmental advantages, however, many homeowners still prefer the authenticity of natural stone.
Selecting a paver size
The size of the paver that you select can have a direct impact on the way your patio is perceived. Large pavers tend to enhance the size of a space, whereas small pavers laid in a distinct grid-like fashion have the opposite effect, making a space seem smaller than it actually is. On the other hand, many laying patterns call for a combination of paver sizes and shapes. This is excellent for creating variation, preventing the surface from becoming monotonous and introducing a degree of randomness.
Selecting a shape
Generally speaking, the pavers used in the body of a patio space come as either squares, rectangles or irregular shapes. Other shapes, such as hexagons and octagons are also available, but not as common. The shape of a paver has a similar ability to affect how a patio is perceived. Rectangles can be used to enhance the length or breadth of a patio, while squares introduce order and stability. Random shapes such as those introduced by irregular slabs of flagstone are excellent for use in a rustic design theme, or simply to create a more natural aesthetic.

Xochimilco – The Romantic Getaway of Mexico City
Xochimilco is a borough in Mexico City, one of the sixteen which compound the Federal District of Mexico. It is situated almost 30 kilometres away from the city centre and is supposed to be the third bigger borough in the region, covering an area of 125 sq meters.
The borough boasts a long and impressive history. It used to be the home of the homonym lake from which it took its name. The area keeps until today all the cultural and religious traditions and keeps it rural character, despite the close proximity to the main urban centre of Mexico.
Xochimilco is mostly known among the foreigners due to the impressive network of canals that make it a very scenic destination; visitors who travel to this area aspire lovely and romantic weekends, away from the bustling city life. Indeed, although the area is touristic, it hasn't lost its authentic style. The area was featured in many American and Latin American movies, adding to its reputation as a romantic destination. The name of the area is derived from a local dialect and stands for the flower fields.In 1987 the area was included in the UNESCO list of World Heritage Sites.
The main character of Xochimilko is until today agriculture, although it is significantly reduced. It became part of Mexico soon after the end of the Revolution and today commerce and trading are becoming increasingly more important for the area. Especially after the inauguration of the railroad that connects the State of Mexico with this town, commerce became one of the top priorities for the locals.
The Canals of the Xochimilco area are among the major tourist attractions in the region, although their banks are almost completely covered by houses and wooden docks. Tourists and visitors have the chance to rent boats and enjoy a relaxing cruise along the canals, while local musicians add to the folklore character of the area.

Navy or Nothing
My current summertime uniform is anything and everything super loose, flowy, and comfortable. I feel like it jumped from a chilly springtime to scorching melting heat overnight. I got this dress recently from Julie Brown NYC and I've been wearing it on repeat the past few weeks. I love adding a cute silk scarf to make the ensemble a little more fun and playful, and my Barrington Gifts tote bag matches the navy perfectly. In other news, I am now working at Julie Brown NYC handling their social media and some of their marketing. It's a great opportunity to delve into something I'm considering getting a job in anyways (digital marketing) plus I get lots of cute clothes from the gig! I just started this past week and I'm focusing a lot of time on content creation, so if you want to follow along on Instagram or Facebook, that would be great! Wishing everyone a very happy Memorial Day this lovely long weekend!
Thanks Lena for the photos!

Behavior Differences Seven Months Later: Effects of a Rape Prevention ProgramJournal of Student Affairs Research and Practice (2007)
AbstractFirst-year men at a midsized public university either saw a rape prevention program or were in a control group and were asked to complete attitude and behavior surveys at the beginning and end of an academic year. Participants were also asked whether they joined fraternities during that year. With 90% of first-year men participating throughout the duration of the study, results showed that men who joined fraternities during the year and had seen a rape prevention program at the beginning of the academic year were significantly less likely to commit a sexually coercive act during the year than control group men who joined fraternities. Long-term attitude change was also associated with program participation. Results are discussed regarding effective program strategies for educating fraternity men about rape on college campuses.

Hi, I am Deepti. I am a self-taught photographer based out of Mumbai. Growing up in a small town of Uttar Pradesh, I struggled to 'stand out' as well as 'fit in' the stereotypical mold of Indian culture. Later, I worked in IT companies in Delhi, UK and Mumbai to make a living while simultaneously practising photography. Gradually, a newly found passion turned into profession, as I gathered the courage to make a career switch.
I started my journey as a travel photographer, and traveling opened an entirely new world to me, and exposed me to new experiences which I was devoid of while growing up. While traveling in various parts of India, I relaised that how similar the stories of these women are to mine or my mother who was married at a very early age and widowed young.
Now, I work on stories of women under an umbrella project ''Women of India', with an intention to bring out the stories which have been overshadowed for too long.
In 2017, I was selected for women mentorship program by 'Women Photograph' and I was also nominated for the Joop Swart Masterclass. I was awarded a grant from Serendipity Arts Foundation to create work in a fishing village of Southern India. I received a grant from Focas, Scotland to produce work on teenagers of a mountain village in Uttarakhand, which is a traveling exhibition in India and Scotland. In 2018, I received grant from Sahapedia to create work on the 'Divided families of India-Pakistan partition'. I have received 'The Alexandra Boulat Grant' to study in Danish school of Media and Journalism in 2019, sponsored by VII Photo agency.
My work has been published in BBC, Al Jazeera English, Der Spiegel, Daily Post, Huffington Post, First Post, The Diplomat, Feature Shoot, Hindu Business Line, The Hindu, Better Photography, The Quint, Scroll, The Quartz, etc.
I am available for the assignments, please contact me on firstname.lastname@example.com / +91-7506040910

Deputy fired for ordering woman on ride-along to show her breasts, Florida cops say
A woman about to go on a ride-along Thursday with an on-duty Leon County sheriff's deputy in Florida had just one request: Not to be sent out with the same deputy she'd been assigned on a September trip.
When the officer arranging the ride-along asked why, she revealed Jarrett Broughton had driven her to a remote forest and ordered her to lift her top, exposing her breasts, while he rested his police baton on his shoulder, reported The Tallahassee Democrat. Broughton, a deputy in the department since January 2016, was fired Friday and arrested on suspicion of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon for threatening the woman.
"The Leon County Sheriff's Office has a zero tolerance for its employees violating the public's trust," Sheriff Walt McNeil said in a statement. "Once we became aware of the situation, we took immediate action to investigate the allegation. We take our obligation to protect citizens seriously and any abuse of power will be met with swift consequences."
The woman told investigators that she had not reported the incident earlier because she feared it would hinder her chances of a law enforcement career, according to an incident report released by the Leon County Sheriff's Department.
The Sept. 20 ride-along with Broughton began with a trip to a tow yard to recover some firearms and a dinner break with another deputy, but then Broughton suggested they play "truth or dare," according to the incident report. She asked if he had ever used his badge to intimidate someone, and Broughton said no.
Then he dared her to pull up her shirt to show him her breasts, the report says. The woman declined, but Broughton repeated the request several more times that night. He also asked her to describe her sexual encounters, but she avoided the questions.
Sometime after 10 p.m., the deputy drove into the Apalachicola National Forest and parked on a dirt road, taking his police baton from the car while telling the woman to come with him to check for anyone "fooling around" down a trail, according to the report. While they walked in the forest, Broughton repeatedly asked her to show him her breasts, but she refused until he leaned over while resting his police baton on his shoulder and asked her again with a smirk, frightening her.
"I asked her why she was scared and she stated it was because he could have hit her with the baton and knocked her out and left her in the woods," wrote the investigator in the report. "(She) complied with his demand and lifted both her shirt and bra up exposing her bare breasts to the deputy. The deputy shined his flashlight on her bare breast for a second or two and then turned his flashlight off."
Broughton asked if he could touch her breasts, but the woman refused, the report says. He complimented her breasts and offered to show her "his," which she understood to mean his penis, but she declined. Broughton told her not to tell anyone what had happened. When they stopped afterward at the sheriff's office for coffee, the woman made an excuse and canceled the rest of the ride-along to go home.
Broughton asked for her phone number and social media contact information, but she declined, according to the report.
The woman told investigators she had told her father about the incident when she returned home and he urged her to report it, but she just wanted to forget about it. According to the report, investigators checked call logs and GPS data from Broughton's patrol vehicle that night to confirm the woman's story.
When investigators asked Broughton about the Sept. 20 ride-along, he demanded an attorney, who advised him not to answer more questions, according to the report.
