When you really want to get in shape, a personal trainer is sometimes the best way to go. You get personalized workouts for your exact body types and goals. Unfortunately, it is easy for anyone today to present themselves as a professional. Before wasting a lot of time and money, be on the lookout for bad personal trainers who fail their clients by doing the 7 below things:
1. Promising a Quick Fix
A good number of people go to the gym expecting quick fixes. These unrealistic expectations are fueled by lack of information, deceptive advertisements and unfortunately, by bad gym trainers. The truth of the matter is that you have to put in time and effort before you can realize any meaningful gains. In fact, a 2004 Study published by the University of Wisconsin, La Crosse concluded that no fitness gains could be made on a six-week exercise program. Personal trainers who promise quick results to you will only leave you disappointed. Unfortunately, many people walk away when they are given realistic time frames for their goals.
2. Focusing on Weight Loss over Muscle Building
People go to the gym with different objectives, but weight loss is one of the most common reasons for most people. Because of that, gym trainers with little experience or training might promote weight loss techniques instead of concentrating on muscle building. Weight loss activities such as cardio, light weight training or other activities that only focus on calorie burn will prove ineffective in the long run. Strength training on the other hand builds a good base for muscles and can help increase resting metabolism and promote maximum calorie burn during exercise. A personal trainer who only promotes weight loss is doing a disservice to you.
3. Not Empowering their Clients
Unfortunately, there are professionals who withhold information from their clients so that they become dependent on them. A good gym trainer should help you to understand why they do a certain set of exercises and even why they do them in a certain order. If people are empowered, they can make positive changes in their lives, and they are likely to trust their trainer more and keep coming back.
4. Promoting Supplements
Most supplements being peddled offer no real help, and most of the perceived benefits are claims without any scientific basis. Some supplements could even be harmful to your health. Usually, you will find a good number of them promising quick weight loss results or abrupt muscle gain. If you find a personal trainer who suggests that you pop pills, you should run and never look back.
5. Body Shaming
A personal trainer should help you think positively and become more confident about yourself. If a trainer makes negative comments about your physical appearance to "motivate" you into putting in more effort, they are doing more harm than good. Body shaming can lead to feelings of guilt and inadequacy and might lead to stress. The problem with stress is that it increases the secretion of Cortisol which increases appetite and cravings. This can, in turn, lead to weight gain.
6. Being Focused on only One Training Style
Obviously, you can't cover all the training styles available. Depending on personal objectives, your personal trainer might lean on just a few styles. Only focusing on one style is bad for clients because the human body needs to be physically challenged to build resilience, strength, and flexibility.
7. Favoring Intensity over Form
Any good trainer will tell you that its not all about how hard you push yourself; what matters is adopting a proper technique and form. Bad form might not just be bad for reduce meaningful gains from exercise, but can also predispose you to chronic pain, joint instability and can create weak spots.
When seeking out a personal trainer, you must do due diligence first to ensure that you are working with a knowledgeable person and one who has your best interest at heart.

A brave girl walks the front line in between a stand off of Danish Police and activists who want their friends released.

The energy sector's next generation is to be given advice on how to make it in the industry.
Transition – a programme organised by Aberdeen social enterprise AFBE-UK Scotland – takes place at Robert Gordon University on Saturday, February 16 (9am-5pm).
More than 100 attendees will gain an insight into the opportunities in the world of work through two talks. Lina Serpa, vice-president wells, North Sea for BP will give a presentation on her experiences in the energy sector. She has more than 25 years' frontline and management expertise through working in a number of countries.
In addition, motivational speaker, Dr Tharaka Gunarathne – who graduated from the University of Aberdeen Medical School – will give a talk on thinking big. Dr Tharaka is a consultant clinical psychiatrist and medical educator that advises those in business and education on how to maximise performance
Previous events have helped more than 1,000 students prepare for the move from academic studies.
AFBE-UK Scotland promotes engineering as a career choice among young people from various backgrounds and under-represented groups.
The day-long event features activities geared at preparing undergraduate and postgraduate students, including mock interviews, assessments, CV reviews and networking experience.
Dr Ollie Folayan, chairman of AFBE-UK Scotland, said: "We've had first-rate feedback from students and graduates about previous Transition events and we expect this latest one to be another successful gathering.
"Experienced professionals will be on hand to pass on tips on what to expect when trying to land that first job. The presentations from Lina and Dr Tharaka will also provide insight on how to have a successful career."
Transition is free but pre-event registration online is essential. The event is open to students and recent graduates of the University of Aberdeen and Robert Gordon University. In addition, identification, such as passport or driver's licence, may be required for security reasons. AFBE-UK Scotland was established in Aberdeen in November in 2011 and is the Scottish chapter of AFBE-UK.
AFBE-Scotland has two other engagement programmes: its schools programme, NextGen, in which industry professionals give up their time to highlight engineering as a career choice and Real Projects, which gives graduates and young engineers the opportunity to engage with seasoned industry veterans, usually with UK and international project expertise. It is a not-for-profit organisation that promotes diversity and inclusion. It encourages young people, particularly those of black and minority ethic (BME) origin, to consider a career in science, technology, engineering or mathematics.
The Transition event will be held in rooms N240/242 at the Sir Ian Wood Building, Garthdee House, Garthdee Road.

Product description
Klübersynth GE 4 80 W 140 is a fully synthetic high-performance gear oil based on polyalphaolefin (PAO) offering high stability and protection even under shock loads.
It was especially developed for rail vehicle gearboxes operating under high loads. The product is based on Klübersynth GE 4 75 W 90, which has been tried and tested on the market and is approved by many OEMs. Its viscosity, however is higher: SAE 80 W 140.
Klübersynth GE 4 80 W 140 offers a very high scuffing load capacity of API GL-5 and can therefore be used in gearboxes requiring API GL-4 or API GL-5. The excellent wear protection of both gears and rolling bearings ensures a long service life of the lubricated components, leading to lower maintenance costs. The oil's high micropitting resistance of GFT ≥ 10 according to FVA 54/7 offers sufficient protection to gears that are subject to high loads and would normally be susceptible to this type of damage. The product's low foaming tendency and anti-corrosive properties enable problem-free gear operation.
The good shear stability of the synthetic base oil contained in Klübersynth GE 4 80 W 140 effectively prevents a decrease of the lubricant film thickness even at high loads. The excellent ageing and oxidation stability of the synthetic base oil facilitates considerably longer oil change intervals compared to mineral oils or other synthetic oils, contributing to reduced maintenance costs.
Benefits for your application
Maximum protection against scuffing: API GL-5
Excellent wear protection for gear teeth and rolling bearings
Good shear stability for reliable lubricant film formation
High micropitting resistance
Excellent ageing and oxidation resistance
Wide service temperature range due to good viscosity-temperature behaviour
Good anti-foaming characteristics
Especially developed for rail vehicle gears subject to high stresses
Complements Klübersynth GE 4 75 W 90 with a higher viscosity

About Ernst Loosen
When Ernst Loosen (pronounced LOH-zen) assumed ownership in 1988, he realized that, with ungrafted vines averaging 60 years old in some of Germany's top-rated vineyards, he had the raw materials to create stunningly intense, world-class Rieslings.
To achieve this, Ernst immediately changed the estate's vineyard practices to dramatically reduce crop size. He stopped all chemical fertilization, preferring only moderate use of organic fertilizers and soil amendments.
He extended his commitment to sustainable practices beyond the vineyards and into the winery, implementing improvements in materials recycling, energy efficiency and water conservation.
At harvest, he insisted on fully mature fruit that had been very strictly selected. And he turned to gentler cellar practices that would allow the wine to develop its full potential with a minimum of technological meddling.
Today, Dr. Loosen wines are widely enjoyed around the globe and continue to receive awards and accolades from top reviewers.

For the Young Man, I have drew the joints as they were shown to us on the Character Pipeline Tutorial.
Character Skeleton- Young Man
For Erich Zann, I added on more joint on his spine so the deformation of the spine will look better, being the character really stylised, I don't think it will be an issue of looking believable or not.
Character Skeleton- Erich Zann
Today, I promised myself to take it easy so I will begin to model and add controls onto the viol. And next week I will concentrate on Rigging/Skinning, Concept Art and Environment Modelling.

72. Cossak Footbridge across the Monastrka River 9.22.2014
Cossak Footbridge across the Monastrka River 9.22.2014
Translated from Russian Wikipedia:
Originally the Monastyrka as well as the Volkovka river were part of the Black River. The mention of this river goes back to the 1500's. In 1829 the eastern section of the Obvodnyi (Bypass) channel was built dividing the river into two parts. The northern part was called Monastyrka by Alexander Nevsky Monastery. With the direction of the river flow reversed: it began to flow out of the Neva and into the flow channel.
The high banks of the river were strengthened by stemming wooden piles with zabirnymi walls, from the Neva to the Monastery. The steep slopes of the coast is often blurred, jeopardizing the existence of historic cemeteries necropolis: Lazarevsky and Tikhon. The first coastal protection banquet low wall began in the area between the Obukhovskoy Defense and monastery bridges in 1963, in conjunction with the construction of bridges. In 1965 a low wall was built on site banquet DOZ Halturina, mainly on the left bank of the river, with the Cossack bridge at the confluence. In 1973 areas of low embankment were built between the 1st and monastery Lavra bridges.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Howard Dean — the former Vermont governor and presidential candidate — is revisiting what's become known as "Dean Scream."
Dean says with gusto at the Democratic National Convention that the 2106 presidential race will be won in "Colorado and Iowa and North Carolina and Michigan and Florida and Ohio and Pennsylvania." He means it's a national campaign.
The crowd roared as he said they would take it "all the way to Washington, D.C."
Think back 12 years — when Dean delivered a fiery speech on the night of his third-place finish in the 2004 Iowa caucuses. At the time, Dean pledged to campaign across the nation.
He wrapped up his speech with a defiant shriek. A video of the address got unending play on cable television and provided fodder for comedians to lampoon. His primary campaign faltered after the 'Dean Scream.'

It can be hard sometimes to find new and cool apps in the Windows Store. That's why AdDuplex, best known for their in-app ad network for Microsoft's Windows platforms, has created AppRaisin. It's now available as a universal app for Windows 10 and Windows 10 Mobile and gives users a chance to make their voice heard on what apps should get the most attention.
AdDuplex says:
"Users decide what news raise to the top by "raising" the apps they like and ignoring the noise. This way enthusiasts get to make sure that top of the crop apps get the attention they deserve and less active users get a curated list of just the best app news. The system works similar to other social news sites like Digg, Reddit, Hacker News or Product Hunt - developers and enthusiasts post latest app news while wider community votes on them to raise the most noteworthy items up the chart. The rank of each item is based on multiple parameters including time - meaning that fresher news raise to the top while older favorites gradually slide down. This way users get a constantly fresh, curated list of new apps and important updates."
AdDuplex plans to add more features to AddRaisin in future versions:
"A bunch of new features is underway, including more social stuff like user pages, comments and other, but the very core that should bring back the joy of discovering great new apps and games is already there."

About CML
The Colorado Municipal League (CML) is a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization that has served and represented Colorado's cities and towns since 1923. Currently, 269 of Colorado's 272 municipalities (representing more than 99 percent of the state's municipal population) are members of CML and benefit from their advocacy, information, and training services.
CML's mission is twofold: to represent cities and towns collectively in matters before the state and federal government, and to provide a wide range of information services to assist municipal officials in managing their governments.
The State of Our Cities and Towns report grew out of earlier efforts to collect data on tax rates, budgets, and other statistics. CML realized these data in themselves were not as valuable as they could be, and in 2008 it sought to reconfigure its efforts and data collection to tell a more complete story of what municipalities in Colorado were currently facing. The State of Our Cities and Towns research has been conducted each fall ever since.
Corona's Solution
Corona Insights worked with CML to review past research conducted as well as assess its current needs. Surveys were designed to collect accurate information on various municipal topics and to allow both comparability from year to year (such as the economy and general challenges) and to capture information on specific topics (such as transportation, economic development, shared government services, livability, and public safety).
Corona worked with CML to conduct the survey and maximize response to ensure the results represented as many municipalities as possible. This included providing municipalities multiple ways to respond, including hard copy or online.
Corona crafted the analysis depending on the nature of the data and their expected use. In some cases, this meant segmenting the findings by size of municipality or by region; in other cases, data were presented as a database for reference only. In all cases, analysis was customized and took into account the type of data and needs of the end user. As a final step, Corona worked with CML to ensure the data were interpreted correctly and all key themes were identified for their own communications.
The Outcome
Corona's data and reports have been used extensively by CML, its members, and state government. The annual report provides a beautiful snapshot of the current year, but the continuum of the data over several years allows analysis of the data within context of the bigger picture. The "long-data" provide a robust big-picture view of trends and context that give the data greater relevance. Data from the State of Our Cities and Towns report highlight current challenges, successes, and the overall state of municipal government. This report is distributed widely to inform state policy-making.
CML also uses the annual findings to create additional materials that communicate key themes from that year's report. Brochures and video segments are produced to give users an additional way to consume the findings as well as to allow for greater distribution and therefore vigilance around the issues most important to towns and cities.

If she is sleeping on her right side, I golf right handed.''''Well,'' one of the employees questioned, ''What happens if she is laying on her back?'' George replies, ''Then I am 6 minutes late.''Posted on 10:55 AM by Unknown and filed under funny jokes, jokes | 0 Comments »
An 80-year old man was having his annual checkup and the doctor asked him how he was feeling. "I've never been better!" he boasted. "I've got an eighteen year old bride who's pregnant and having my child! What do you think about that?" The doctor considered this for a moment, then said, "Let me tell you a story. I knew a guy who was an avid hunter. He never missed a season. But one day, he went out in a bit of a hurry, and he accidentally grabbed his umbrella instead of his gun." The doctor continued, "So he was in the woods, and suddenly a grizzly bear appeared in front of him! He raised up his umbrella, pointed it at the bear and squeezed the handle." "And do you know what happened?" the doctor queried. Dumbfounded, the old man replied, "No." The doctor continued, "The bear dropped dead in front of him!""That's impossible!" exclaimed the old man. "Someone else must have shot that bear.""That's kind of what I'm getting at," replied the doctor. PPosted on 10:54 AM by Unknown and filed under funny jokes, jokes | 0 Comments »

A woman had two female parrots who were always yelling, "We're prostitutes, wanna have a little fun?" One day, she was talking to her Preacher about this. He said he had two male parrots and all they did was read the Bible. He thought perhaps they would be a good influence on the two females. So they put the four parrots together. So, the females yelled at the male parrots, "We're prostitutes, wanna have a little fun?" One male parrot said to the other, "Put the Bibles away! We've made it to heaven!"Posted on 10:51 AM by Unknown and filed under jokes | 0 Comments »
A defendant was on trial for murder. There was very strong evidence indicating guilt, but no corpse had been found. In the defense's closing statement the lawyer, knowing that his client would probably be convicted, decided to try a trick. convicted, decided to try a trick."Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, I have a surprise for you all," the lawyer said as he looked at his watch. "Within one minute, the person presumed dead in this case will walk into this courtroom!" He looked toward the courtroom door. The jurors, somewhat stunned, all looked, eagerly. A minute passed. Nothing happened. Finally, the lawyer said, "Actually, I made up the previous statement. But you all looked on with anticipation. I therefore put it to you that there is reasonable doubt in this case as to whether anyone was killed and insist that you return a verdict of not guilty." With that, the jury retired to deliberate. But after only a few minutes, they came back and pronounced a verdict of guilty."But how?" the lawyer asked. "You must have had some doubt. I saw all of you stare at the door.""Oh, yes," the jury foreman replied. "We all looked - but your client didn't!"

Did you get the Home Premium disk with your Dell laptop at the time of purchase? It sounds like the disk you have is for installation of your current OS, should you need to reinstall on your laptop. But, that does not make sense if your laptop came with Home Basic and the disk you have is for Home Premium...
I've a dell laptop with me which came Windows 7 Home Basic preinstalled.I have Windows 7 Home Premium DVD with me.
My questions is that can I install Windows 7 Home Premium version on my Laptop considering the fact that Home Basic Version is currently installed?
I'm a bit leery about the installation because following message is printed over it:
"Windows OPERATING SYSTEM

Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit
The software is already installed on your computer.Use this DVD only to reinstall the operating system on a Dell PC."

The highlight of the week for the campers and counselors was a trip to the Dali Museum. Our older campers loved the audio tour and the younger campers enjoyed learning about this fascinating art from their counselors.
And what a treat to explore the gorgeous building and grounds - what a local treasure!
Once upon a time, a hands-on museum hosted educational camps in a beautiful city by the Bay. The happy campers made friends, created memories and explored the art and science of fun and learning.
This week campers at Great Explorations dove into the world of fairy tales, folk tales, stories told in pictures and stories told through music. It was an amazing week filled with curiosity, adventure and discovery.
Campers had the chance to work with many different ways of telling a story. They decoupaged their own storybook boxes, let their imaginations go wild with scratch art and even explored vivid colors and luxurious textures with velvet art!
This happily ever after is possible with support from Creative Pinellas and the Pinellas County Board of County Commissioners.
Stay tuned for "When I Grow Up..." the grand finale to Summer Camp at Great Ex!

CP-SETIS Workshop at HiPEAC
2017, Stockholm,
Date: 2017-01-23
Time: 10:00
Dear members of the ARTEMIS-IA,
The ARTEMIS-IA Standardization Working Group has
created the ARTEMIS Strategic Agenda for Standardization a few years ago and
worked on it with support of the EC under the Support Action ProSE. In the
meantime, ARTEMIS projects have worked towards the IOS, Tool Interoperability
Specifications, like iFEST, CESAR, MBAT, nSafeCer, HOLIDES, ARROWHEAD, EMC²,
and particularly CRYSTAL.
On the other hand, many new Ad-Hoc Groups and groups
for maintenance of established standards have started work to keep up with new
software/system paradigms and developments in hardware and other technologies,
in ISO and IEC, OASIS, ETSI, ProSTEP, ASAM, OMG and various other
standardization organizations.
This work was described e.g. in ARTEMIS Magazine No.
20 "Interoperability Secification – Quo Vadis?'' p. 29-30, and ERCIM News
108 "Development Tool Interoperability Specifications and Standardization", p.
The EC supports our activities to create a
sustainable structure to maintain the IOS and an updated Strategic
Standardization Agenda in the Innovation Action CP-SETIS ("Towards
Cyber-Physical Systems Engineering Tools Interoperability Standardization"), a
support-action type project in H2020, which is intended to be basis for an
updated ARTEMIS-IA Strategic Agenda for Standardization and should have some
impact on other strategic documents like the ECSEL MASRIA.
The current status will be presented at the CP-SETIS
Workshop at the HiPEAC 2017Conference in Stockholm on Jan. 23, 2017 .
SUCCESSFUL RESULT! The result should in the end represent the ARTEMIS/ECSEL
community and, as far as possible, the whole community active in the areas of
interest mentioned above!

Recently we had the opportunity to explore Pandora- The World of Avatar at Disney's Animal Kingdom (review coming soon!), and while in the Orlando area, we decided to spend a day at Universal Orlando. It has been a couple of years since we visited Universal (long overdue), and even though I am a huge Harry Potter fan and couldn't wait for a train ride on Hogwart's Express and an escape from Gringott's Bank, there was one newly-opened ride I was super excited to try for the first time- Race Through New York with Jimmy Fallon!
For years I have been a fan of The Tonight Show. I have fallen asleep many, many nights listening to my favorite comedian, Jay Leno, and most recently Jimmy Fallon, my new favorite! With high hopes, I entered the NBC Studios replica at Universal Studios.
Now, to be clear, this isn't a thrill ride. Don't get me wrong. It is the typical 3D style motion ride setup found on many rides throughout Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure, but it is what happens before this ride that really stands out to me and is a concept I hope to see on many rides to come.
Upon entering, you are given a time to return (you can also select this using the Universal app), or if using Express Pass, you are allowed to enter directly. If there are no times available for a later return, then standby is an option. When you enter, you are given a colored card.
You can then explore an area full of Tonight Show memorabilia from hosts from the beginning through now. Once you are done looking in this area, you climb stairs to a large waiting area. Here, you can rest on a couch, play interactive games, or my very favorite part of the area- watch a live performance of the Ragtime Gals and appearances by Hashtag the Panda! That is right, not one line in sight. It did not even feel like waiting for a ride. It was pure, fun entertainment!!! As you enjoy your time, the walls light up a specific color, and if your color card received at the beginning of the ride is flashing, then you head on toward the ride.
We had about twenty minutes as we waited for our color to appear. We enjoyed an entire performance from the Ragtime Gals- including fabulously harmonized versions of songs by artists like DMX and Nelly, and an especially entertaining sing off including songs by Fifth Harmony and a song/dance routine from Dirty Dancing! We were all laughing and enjoying the show when we heard the NBC tune sound and our color card indicated. I hesitantly moved toward the ride, as Hashtag the Panda had just taken the stage. Next time, Hashtag!
The next area did require us to stand in a line, but the preride video was hilarious, in true Jimmy Fallon style. Between the preshow and preride video we had laughed and laughed. I could have left then and still been happy! We then entered the ride, which looks as though you are in the audience of The Tonight Show. The ride is fun, and our whole family enjoyed it. My seven year old loved it and my four year old was hesitantly optimistic.
Overall, this ride was one of the best of our trip. The concept of the queue was phenomenal, and is something I hope to see in the future of rides. It made waiting seem as fun as the attraction itself!
So in true Jimmy Fallon fashion-
Thank you (insert dramatic music)…… Jimmy Fallon, for having one of the greatest experiences at Universal Studios Orlando!
If you have questions or would like to book your next vacation to check out Race Through New York with Jimmy Fallon and all of the other amazing rides at Universal Orlando, ! I would love to help with your next vacation!

In our digital world of 'instant everything', which is mostly mass produced, Paul Cooklin is drawn to analogue film and traditional darkroom printing. His preference for film over digital derives from the nostalgic and timeless 'look' of black and white film, with it's tonal qualities and grain. He is also drawn to the rules of the negative and the traditional printing methods which he finds more rewarding due to the hands-on approach needed to make an individual silver gelatin print.

£500 to Potteries Active Kids
Posted by EpicEvents in Uncategorized on November 30, 2017
The Montane Lakeland 100 competitors raise thousands of pounds for the Epic Kidz charity. Every July runners take part in this iconic event by completing either 50 or 100 (105) miles around the Lake District. Along the way the runners pass through 14 checkpoints manned entirely by volunteers. We have asked all of the checkpoint owners & managers from the 2017 event to nominate a group or charity to receive an Epic Kidz donation. Over the next few months we will be blogging about all the donations made to all the good causes nominated by our Lakeland 100 family.
Our next donation in the series has come from 'Little Dave'. Little Dave is a massive #LakelandLegend. He manages the Blencathra checkpoint throughout the night, normally whilst dressed as a fairy! His mum is even more well-known as she is the mastermind behind "Little Dave's Mum's Chocolate Cake", vital running fuel which can only be found at Blencathra. Dave has chosen Potteries Active Kids to receive his £500 donation.
Potteries Active Kids (PAK) aim to increase participation in sports and exercise for youngsters and children in Stoke on Trent and the Potteries. They started off with running, hosting a free 2k run every Sunday morning, and hope to introduce many other sports such as football, rugby, tennis, martial arts and many more in the future. They want to help children to habitually take part in regular exercise.
PAK originally started off with just the one run location but they now have another two additional locations in the pipeline. This year alone they have encouraged 103 extra children to take part in their weekly runs and it is their aim to keep on growing. The £500 donation from Epic Kidz & the Lakeland 100 Family will be put towards helping to get the word about PAK out to the local community. It will be used to produce leaflets to be given to schools to spread the word as well as visiting the local schools in person, working with the kids and encouraging them to become involved.
You can find out more about PAK and the great work they do at http://www.potteriesactivekids.co.uk
Epic Kidz Sponsor TENW Junior Tri Series
Posted by EpicEvents in Uncategorized on November 23, 2017
The Triathlon England North West Junior Tri Series is a series packed full of top quality multi sport events such as triathlons, aquathlons & duathlons and is open to anyone aged from 9 to 19, who holds a Triathlon England membership. The NW Junior Series is the breeding ground for our future champions and well supported by all NW clubs.
Unfortunately the regional funding has been cut for the upcoming 2018 season, which is required to run the series successfully. Epic Events / Epic Kidz have stepped in to support the series and has made a £2000 donation. This donation will be used to fund the events in the series and also the annual presentation night.
Epic Kidz is committed to supporting youngsters in the region and we're thankful of the opportunity to support such a great series. There are countless volunteers within the NW clubs who make this series happen and their role is critical for triathlon development in the region. We very much look forward to watching the juniors perform over the next year.
If you have any children interested in being involved in the TENW Tri Series you can find more information and contact details HERE
£450 donation to Ormskirk FC
Posted by EpicEvents in Uncategorized on November 16, 2017
Epic Kidz has donated £450 to Ormskirk FC to enable them to purchase new match and training kits for their U9's Yellow team.
Ormskirk FC is an FA Charter Standard Club that is affiliated to the Lancashire FA. They curently have over 20 junior teams that play in grassroots football leagues througout the North West. The club is run by volunteers and they rely on sponsorship to help fund the cost of their match and training kits.
The U9's Yellow team play their matches on a Sunday in the Skelmersdale Junior Football League. They have been doing really well over the past couple of seasons, having won the Skem JFL Cup last season as well as getting to the semi-finals of the OWE tournament in the Summer. Hopefully there will be more silverware to come for the team in their new kit.
The club have passed on their thanks for the donation and have told us how smart the children look in their new kit.

£500 to help Leigh RUFC Dragons "Smash The Aussies"
Posted by EpicEvents in Uncategorized on November 9, 2017
Leigh RUFC U15s Dragons epitomise teamwork and dedication, whilst thoroughly enjoying playing and training for the game. Several of the players have been with the squad since the age of 5 and recent successes, including a promotion into Pool A of the Lancashire Cup after a thrilling cup final last year, have seen the squad swell to 22 players, with new players always being welcomed to the team and throughout all school age groups.
It seemed like a pipedream to the Dragons 4 years ago when an "Austrailia Tour" was first suggested but next year the team's Australia Tour will finally become a reality. The Dragons will test themselves against the best of local Australian teams, as well as staying together for 3 weeks in a "pro style" training camp on the Gold Coast with 2 training sessions per day and 5 competitive fixtures. A strong and committed coaching team of 6 are also funding themselves to accompany the team, which includes former players Scott Martin (Leigh, Salford, Sheffield Eagles, Rochdale) and Gary Monaghan (Preston Grasshoppers).
To fund this trip of a lifetime, the squad have been very busy, tirelessly fundraising for 4 years through many different events. Next year they plan to do a sponsored Yorkshire 3 Peaks Challenge as their final fundraiser.
Epic Kidz has donated £500 to the Dragons to help the team buy some much needed training kit to help them "smash the Aussies"!

£250 to Black Combe Runners Juniors
Posted by EpicEvents in Uncategorized on November 2, 2017
The Montane Lakeland 100 competitors raise thousands of pounds for the Epic Kidz charity. Every July runners take part in this iconic event by completing either 50 or 100 (105) miles around the Lake District. Along the way the runners pass through 14 checkpoints manned entirely by volunteers. We have asked all of the checkpoint owners & managers from the 2017 event to nominate a group or charity to receive an Epic Kidz donation. Over the next few months we will be blogging about all the donations made to all the good causes nominated by our Lakeland 100 family.
Last week we introduced the Seathwaite checkpoint and the first part of their donation. Their second nomination is the Black Combe Runners (Juniors).
The Black Combe Runners have been around since the 80s however the junior section was set up in 2017. The club coaches have almost finished obtaining their qualifications to enable them to provide full training and it is the aim of the club to get sessions up and running by the new year. Once they have their sessions up and running, the club will then be able to promote themselves outside of its current members.
The juniors section of the club accepts anyone up to the age of 18. Their youngest runner is just 1 year old and has already completed a 1 mile race! The club has also had members racing at the English Schools Fell Running Championships and they hope to fly their colours at more races in the future.
Epic Kidz has donated £250 on behalf of the Seathwaite Checkpoint owners which will go towards training for another Leader and equipment to be used in training sessions for the juniors.

Jenny Craig, Inc., previously owned by MidOcean Partners headed by Ted Virtue, often known simply as Jenny, is a weight loss, weight management, and nutrition company founded in 1983 by Jenny Craig and her husband, Sidney Craig. The program was started in Melbourne, Victoria and later began operations in the United States in 1985. Today, the company is headquartered in Carlsbad, California, and has been a part of Nestlé Nutrition since 2006.
The company has more than 700 weight management centres in Australia, the United States, Canada, France, the United Kingdom, New Zealand, and Puerto Rico. The program combines individual weight management counseling with a menu of frozen meals and other foods, which are distributed through its centers or shipped directly to clients.
What You Can EatEdit
The keystone to the Jenny Craig diet is its prepackaged meals. For the most part, these are frozen breakfasts, lunches, dinners, and even desserts. Nutritionally they contain 50% to 60% carbohydrates, 20% to 25% protein, and 20% to 25% fat.
Clients supplement these meals with fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, and reduced-fat dairy products. In general, non-starchy vegetables are unlimited.
While these meals are what come to mind when most people think of Jenny Craig, they are not the be-all and end-all of the program. In fact, says Lisa Waltman, call center manager for Jenny Direct, the goal is eventually to wean clients from the prepared meals.
"For a certain period of time we support people with this prepackaged menu that serves as a model of healthy eating," Waltman tells WebMD. "As clients become more familiar with recognizing correct portion sizes, the counselors teach them how to cook at home and to eat out."
No food is taboo. The focus is on moderation, a balanced diet, and getting enough exercise. But built into the program are occasional splurges that allow dieters to indulge themselves a little.
"There is nothing you cannot have," Waltman says. "We educate what foods are high in fat and calories and should be used in moderation vs. foods that can be eaten more freely like non-starchy vegetables such as salad. And we teach about other foods, that of course you need to take in moderation when trying to lose weight and beyond. If you want cake, we want you to understand what you are doing if you have a piece -- not to deny you what you want."
That being said, the Jenny Craig method is calorie based. The menus a client develops with his or her counselor are based on an individual's weight, height, and goals.

However it is a bank holiday weekend.

As the Catalan crisis continues to unfold, Madrid has gone flag crazy. One month on, residents in almost every street are still flying Spanish flags from their balconies.
And apart from Catalonia dominating the news coverage, life pretty much continues on as normal. But I can't help seeing each flag as tacit support for the government's actions on the 1st October.

Yesterday's moon was a bit foggy in my location. Nevertheless I got an image that I am very proud of, because it is the first time I obtain a nearly perfect focus thanks to the binocular focus tip. When doing afocal exposures, you may get a sharp focus using another binocular over the lens. This way you guarantee an infinite precise focus for the camera.
This image was taken as usual, through Vixen 12×80 binoculars and with the Casio Exilim EX-Z80 pocket digital camera. I used only green channel data, because it was the sharpest.

The Hijra ("migration"), or Hegira, was a turning point in the history of Islam in that it was the point at which the religion was systematized into a community of Muslims. More specifically, the Hijra is the point at which Muhammad left Mecca and established the world's first Islamic state at Yathrib, renamed Medina, in present-day Saudi Arabia. Importantly, Muhammad consolidated his followers by breaking ties with his former tribe in demonstration of brotherhood with his new, more expansive and more spiritual one.
Muhammad's example spread and Islam gradually developed into the strong community of devoted believers with shared beliefs and proscriptions for behavior that survives today.
So important was Hijra to the Islamic tradition that the Islamic calendar, "Hijri", starts from the year in which it occurred: 622 CE, or 1 AH. As such, Al-Hijra is also observed by Muslims as the first day of the Islamic New Year and a time to make resolutions of self-improvement.
Traditionally, the date of Al-Hijra is whichever day in Muharram — the first month of the Islamic calendar — a crescent moon is first seen with the naked eye. However, since this cannot be determined in advance with perfect accuracy, printed Islamic calendars are generally based on estimates.

Partial Resurrection from Error 5315 months ago I dunked my iPhone briefly in clean water. After drying out (no special technique except time), the phone...
"Partial Resurrection from Error 53"に関する回答And if I get it ultrasonically cleaned, should I also replace the home button's long flex cable? Thanks for your advice.
"Partial Resurrection from Error 53"に関する回答Thanks to both of you for your comments. Other than trying the rice treatment (which I now know is not ideal), I didn't try anything except take it to Apple Store who said there was one of the internal sensors showed water damage. At least all the parts are still original. I think there must be an intermittent connection for the home button/flex cable that lasted long enough for the phone to fully restore from Error 53, and even for the home button to work for several hours afterwards. Is it still a good idea to get it to a repair shop to get it inspected, ultrasonically cleaned even now 15 months later? Ideally I'd like a functioning home button, but don't really need Touch ID to be working.
