is that you can spend your life
running up and down the field and never score"
--Bill Copeland
You have 3 workout choices: structured, somewhat structured, unstructured. Don't get caught up in the details of which to do, because getting work in during the next two weeks is what is most important. I would recommend the structured workouts above them all, but those are the most time consuming and you just might not have time for all that, so choose one that works and get to it.
(Before we start: WARM UP! We have put
a ton tons of tons of work into our warmups so far. Do not abandon that. You may not remember everything we've done, but I'm sure not all memories of our warm-ups were booted out of your brain during finals. Warm-ups will be a greater emphasis than they ever have been before for this entire season)
- 12 hill runs, 40 meters (m) distance, 4 minutes (min) rest
- 10 field/track runs, 60m distance, 5 min rest
- 6 track runs, 200m distance, 10-15 min rest (take a full 15 if you need it. These should be very fast)
- 3 sets of 4 reps of 80m runs. After each rep take a 3min rest, after each set take an 8min rest. So one set is run 80m, rest 3 min, run 80m, rest 3 min, run 80m, rest 3 min, run 80m, and then rest 8min. So 3 sets of 4 reps means we are doing 12 reps (3x4=12).
- Same set up as previous but further distance: 2 sets of 3 reps of 300 meter runs. 3-5min rest after each rep, 8-10min rest between 1st and second set. You are doing a total of 6 runs, and they should be hard. That is why you have the flexible rest period--take the higher end if you need it.
- 5 field/track runs, 100m distance, 3 min rest
- Run 130-170m at around 75-80%, do a 30 second plank, rest for 45 second, repeat 6-8 times
- Run at 75-80% for 30 seconds, rest (walk) for 30 seconds, repeat 15-20 times
- Run at full effort for 20 seconds, rest (walk) for 2 minutes, repeat 10-15 times.
- Stuck inside? Do 12 sets of 7 burpees. Rest 45 seconds between each set.
- Yoga or gymnastics workout
- Group exercise class at a gym
- Do push-ups, sit-ups, pull-ups, dips or other body part exercises until it feels like the body part being exercised might fall off. Doing this might build good habits that will last you well into your old age.
- 15-30min jog (work on pulling those feet into "figure 4" position intermittently throughout run.
- 100 burpees for time
- Go skiing, snowboarding, or snowshoeing
- Take the dog for a long walk (some of the workouts from the "somewhat structured" category might also be fun for your pups)
These are just some suggestions. I have a ton more, and you maybe could think of some of your own. Do something. Do something a minimum of 3 times a week. At the end of each workout get a good cool down stretch of about 8 minutes.

Enjoy some music during your workouts

Hello dear friends! I have my first lo to share using the SOD November kit "Amy Amazing Autumn Kit". Oh my goodness!! This kit is so full of my favorite everything. The colors are stunning and some of my all time faves. There is the Bo Bunny "Enchanted Forest", Simple Stories "Pumpkin Spice" and Reminisce "Autumn Forest". I'm in heaven!!!
My lo is of my sweet grandson, Chase, when he was 15 months, and we visited one of the farms in the Matanuska Valley that holds a Fall Festival every year. You go pick your vegetables in the field and then pay for them at a reduced price. In these photos he is running around through the pumpkins that were picked and laid out for the little ones.
My inspiration for this lo came from the Blue Fern Studios sketch for this month. I started with the background paper from Bo Bunny and included in the Main Kit. I sprayed some mist from the Color Add-on "Carved Pumpkin" and lightly dabbed some of the color as I only wanted a hint. I stamped around the edges of the paper and in the center around my focus. I did some ink splatters in two different colors to add some whimsy.
I started to build the top part of the photo with various papers included in the kits, cutting the strips 3/4" to 7/8' wide.
I started building up the photo collage using one of the paper bags that Melinda puts in the kit to hold the Add-Ons. The mat behind the photos is from my stash. Once I got the piece centered, I tucked a ripped piece of corrugated cardboard to tuck under the bottom and on the left side.
The cute chipboard pennants were part of the Elements Add-On. It adds so much color and design, almost too much, but I love it!!
I used the gorgeous sunflower included in the Main kit with the velvety leaves that came in the Floral Add-On. There are some many color variations in those leaves.
There is a Bo Bunny paper included in the Main Kit covered with butterflies. I fussy cut three out and placed them in the three flower clusters.
On the top left cluster I used a bigger butterfly and the Chunky black glitter that was included in the last month's kit. The other two flowers I used are in the Floral Add-On. On the right hand side I sprinkled microbeads that I got from Reneabouquets. I also sprinkled the beads in various places around the lo.
The chipboard title is from my stash, which I just inked in a dark brown and used more micro beads. I also sprinkled some Prills from another SOD kit. As you can see the gel medium is still drying, but I promise it will be clear!!! I was in such a hurry to get these photos taken I just didn't have the patience. I found you CANNOT use the heat dryer to dry the medium. It will stay white if you do.
This is such a bright, busy lo, but so much fun for the photos. I hope you like it! If you are interested in joining the Scraps of Darkness kit club you can purchase the kits at: http://www.scrapsofdarkness.com/kits/?sort=alphaasc
Thanks so much for stopping by! We are expecting 4-7 inches of snow on Sunday. I am so excited, we didn't get very much last year, so everyone is thrilled.
Big Alaska Bear Hugs xoxo

I want to briefly tell you about the SR-25 rifle given to Nick Slatten.
When this incident turned into a full-blown investigation, they collected all of the Raven 23 weapons. The BW Armorer personally inspected Nick's rifle before he turned it over to the FBI. It functioned fine - no anomalies.
Oddly, when the FBI turned the rifle over to the lab to be tested, suddenly it wouldn't fire. When they finally got it to fire, they said it had a single-stage pull, instead of a double-stage pull.
Their conclusion? It had been altered it so that it would fire quicker....by Nick. Because you have to remember that Nick is the villain... What?!

An Unlikely (But Possible) Generation of Young Trump Voters
Editor's Note: This is a slightly updated version of a post I wrote for Political Wire earlier this week.
For the Clinton campaign, the nightmare scenario was always that Millennials wouldn't show up at the polls, or that they would choose to vote third party. But in some of the most crucial swing states in America, it looks like the nation's youngest voters might have affirmatively showed up to vote for Donald Trump.
As Taegan Goddard at Political Wire pointed out last week, analysis prepared by Will Jordan at YouGov show that if Hillary had received the same support among Millennials as Obama, she would have won 308 electoral votes.
But zooming in on the individual states that swung the Electoral College to Trump presents a slightly different picture. In particular, exit polling from the "Trump Belt" ranging from the Upper Midwest through the Rust Belt points to a growing rift between the nation's youngest voters and their slightly older counterparts.
You should always take exit polling with a grain of salt, but such data can often point to places worthy of further inquiry. Take Wisconsin for example.
CNN's exit polling there show's Hillary winning voters ages 25 to 29 by nine points while losing voters under 25 by two points.
And in neighboring Minnesota—where Trump came within about 50,000 votes of winning—the youngest voters also bucked their slightly older cohort. Hillary won voters ages 25 to 29 by nine points, but losing voters under 25 by five (!) points.
This effect doesn't show up in Michigan and Ohio, but in Pennsylvania, Hillary won voters ages 25-29 by 13 points and voters 18-24 by only 5 points. And these younger voters were much less likely to vote third party, suggesting they were active Trump supporters.
Again, the data here could be a fluke, especially when this effect doesn't seem to show up elsewhere in places like North Carolina or Florida. One interesting theory is that young people in places like the Rust Belt and Upper Midwest may have been more dramatically affected by their parents' political views, which were very sour on Hillary Clinton and much more open to the idea of voting for Donald Trump.
More than finding anything determinative in this very limited data, it's time for a real reexamination of young voters in this country. They were the most unheralded and underappreciated portion of the Obama coalition, and the assertion that they will simply never join a Trump coalition is a dangerous one. And as we just saw in 2016, a movement of only 5% of this cohort in a handful of states is enough to cost Democrats a national election.
In other words, anyone tempted to say that Donald Trump is cooked in 2020 needs to consider the real possibility that the next generation of young voters in crucial states may be significantly more pro-Trump than anticipated. The Clinton campaign certainly learned a big lesson the hard way—it only takes the slightest movement in the loyalties of young voters to spell electoral devastation.

July-August 2018
Posted August 18, 2010
The Illinois section of the Pierre Fauchard Academy met on February 27, 2010. The meeting was located at McCormick Place West Wing in downtown Chicago. Section Chair, Christos Baboulos, and twenty other Fellows welcomed five guests and two students to the meeting. The student awards and the Distinguished Dental Award were presented. Two new Fellows were inducted at the meeting.
The Michigan Section of the Pierre Fauchard Academy met on April 17, 2010 in conjunction with the Michigan Dental Association Annual Meeting at the Rock Financial Showplace in Novi, MI. The meeting commenced at 7AM with the invocation given by Joe C. Harris, International Vice President. There were 73 individuals in attendance at this meting. Dr. Hirsch introduced the following guest: Dr. Dave Campbell, Past President of the Academy, Dr. Joe C. Harris, International Vice President, Dr. Cheri Newman, 4th District Trustee, Ms. Nicole Lauer, daughter of the Honorary Awardees, Mrs. Sherri Doig, Dr. Meelum Aggarwal and her two sons Rafjan and Ashwin, daughter and grandsons of Fellow-Elect Daman Thanik. Dr. Dave Campbell introduced students and a resident from the U of M Dental School. Dr. Bill Berkowski introduced students from UDM Dental School. A total of 17 students and 1 Resident were our guests. The Michigan Section Board was introduced: Drs. Jehan Wadeem, Pat Boyle, Danielle Ruskin, and Mike Maihofer. Dr. Danielle Ruskin, Treasurer of the section, gave her report and was then presented with her Certificate of Fellowship, key and lapel pins. (She was inducted November, 2009).Dr. Hirsch called our past Treasurer, Dr. Ed Sarkisian, up to be recognized for his 13 years of service to the section as treasurer. A plaque will be presented at a later date.
Fellows-Elect were then called up for their induction. They are: Drs. Brain Cilla, Rhonda Hennessy, Eric Knudsen, Rob Lovell, Scott Meldrum, Steve, Meraw, Aaron Ruskin, Lisandra Soto, and Daman Thanik. The Fellowship charge was read by the secretary, Dr. Jehan Wakem. Dr. Hirsch introduced the Awards Nominee, Mrs. Sheri Doig, the Executve Director of the Detroit District Dental Society, which is the largest component of the Michigan Dental Association. Sheri was presented with an Honorary Membership Plaque along with a key and lapel pin. Mrs. Doig said a few words and then Dr. Hirsch thanked her years of service to the profession, the academy, and the community at large.
Prior to adjournment, Dr. Hirsch stated that the next meeting to be held in conjunction with the Detroit District Dental Society Review in November 2010 will be different in that we will invite and thank the many retired Life members of the Michigan Section of the Academy. The meeting was adjourned at 8:40 am so that many of the attendees could attend caucus meetings.
The Ohio Section had their 51st Annual Awards Breakfast on August 29,2009 at the Hyatt Regency Convention Center in Columbus, Ohio in conjunction with the Ohio Dental Association Meeting. There were over 80 Fellows and guests in attendance for the induction of seven New Fellows, for awarding of the 2009 Distinguished Dentist, and for the presentation of a special Lifetime Achievement Award to the longest living Ohio fellow, Dr. David Pearson,Jr. at age 96.
Scholarship awards were presented from the PFA Foundation to the Case-WRU and Ohio State Receipients in the amount of $1500; and the Ohio Section matched this with an additional $1500 to each student. Ohio has established a scholarship fund by soliciting with our State dues statement and the response has been excellent. This is another way for the Ohio Section to encourage and reward emerging leadership. Fellows, also, have an improved opportunity to mentor because of the increased visibility this program gives to the Academy. Student delegates to the Ohio Dental Association and the Deans of CWRU and Ohio State are always invited to the breakfast to see the PFA in action.
The 2010 Breakfast will be held on September 24 at the same location and promises to be another chance for the PFA to show how important service and professional ideals are to the perpetuation of our great profession. The numbers for attendance at this meeting look impressive thus far.
Ohio Section Chair, E.Karl Schneider, was on the program for the Case-WRU White Coat Ceremony on August 6, 2010 as the Class of 2014 was welcomed as student doctors. He discussed the importance of international honorary dental organizations emphasizing Pierre Fauchard as the "Father of Modern Dentistry", and PFA Fellowship as a noble goal for those who distinquish themselves both as student leaders and as active, practicing professionals in the global arena. He ended by challenging each student doctor to work hard for the opportunity to receive the Foundation and Ohio Scholarship Awards.
On May 7th, the Wisconsin Section of the Pierre Fauchard Academy held its annual meeting and induction ceremony in Milwaukee in conjunction with the WDA's Jewel of the Great Lakes meeting. Close to 75 people attended the luncheon including PFA Fellows, past WDA presidents, new inductees, protégées with their mentors and other guests.
Highlights of the meeting included the induction of 12 new Fellows. The 2010 PFA inductees are: Drs. Joe Best, Don Holzhauer, Dave Kenyon, Lyndsay Knoell, Jeff Kraig, David Martyn, Ned Murphy, Tim Novak, Kevin Race, Brett Skarr, Joe Schmidt and Barrett Straub.
Dr. Michael Kaske received the Distinguished Dental Award at the Meeting. Congratulation Mike on you much deserved award.
Dr. Bill Lobb, Dean of the Marquette University School of Dentistry gave an informative update on the activities at the school. It is always nice to hear what is happening at Wisconsin's only dental school.
Also, updates of the activities of the PFA Foundation and our Wisconsin Section were given. The PFA scholarship was awarded to D-3 student, Ryan Dulde. A $300 scholarship was awarded to senior student, Dr. Alison Seidl. Our section also made a $1000 contribution to the MUSOD White Coat ceremony and a $2000 contribution to the 2010 WDA MOM program.
The West Virginia section of the Pierre Fauchard Academy met on May 12th, 2010 at the West Virginia University Alumni Center. There were twenty Fellows in attendance. The Pierre Fauchard Scholarship was given to a senior dental student. The Distinguished Dental Award was presented.
The Indiana section of the Pierre Fauchard Academy met on Friday, April 29th, 2010, in conjunction with the spring IDA meeting. The meeting was held at the Marriott Hotel in Indianapolis. There were 55 Fellows in attendance to welcome 16 inductees. Tim Karlson was the guest speaker.
The Kentucky section of the Pierre Fauchard Academy met on April 1st, 2010 at the Hyatt Regency in Louisville. The meeting was held in conjunction with the Kentucky Dental Association Meeting which was celebrating their 150th Anniversary.
Students from the University of Kentucky and the University of Louisville received the PFA Scholarship Award and a Leadership Award. The students were accompanied by friends and family. We are also pleased to welcome four new Fellows into membership.

Twill Bra Top
Twill Bra Top
This Twill Bra Top is the perfect base layer. It can be matched with the open back blouse showing the elastic detail peeking out of the back, or under a sheer top for a little more skin. It also looks great with a high-waist pant or skirt as a stand-alone top. The elastic shoulder straps are adjustable and the closure at center front is hooks and eyes. Three rows of black herringbone elastic detail the center back and allow for a comfortable fit.
To achieve this mottled ("tie-dye") look, each panel was hand-dyed by the designer to create the color diversity. No two items will look alike. The color variations are not imperfections but the intended look of the fabric.
This style is shown with the mottled hand-dyed Saddle Back Pant and the black Zip Front Pencil Skirt.
Fabric: 96%Cotton/2%Tencel/ 2% Spandex, Stretch Twill
Care: Hand Wash Cold Water or Machine Wash Cold with like colors / Hang dry
Sizing: Model is wearing a size XS bra. Her measures are 36" bust, 28" waist and she typically wears a size 2-4/XS-S in tops and a B cup in bras. This style in the bra runs about 1/2 size larger than the silk version. Please see chart in photos for more info.

Gem Therapy and Diseases Related to Planets
Every planet has its own specific gemstone which acts as a barrier between us and malefic effect of the planet and we can get the positive results if we use the gemstone. This is the basis of gem therapy.
Diseases Related to Jupiter and Gemstone Remedy
Jupiter has the place of Guru (teacher) of all the planets. The parts of the body governed by Jupiter are neck, stomach, fat and respiratory system. When Jupiter becomes weak in the birth chart then the native may face different types of diseases such as cold, cough and phlegm. He may be disturbed from throat problems, voice related problems, jaundice, gout, stomach diseases and kidney related problems which occur due to the malefic effect of Jupiter.
In Ratanshastra, Pukhraj which is the yellow sapphire is the remedy for Jupiter. When the native wears this gem then Jupiter's energizing power would increase and it decreases the possibilities of these diseases. If he is suffering from any one of these disease then he may get quick and good results.
Diseases Related to Venus and Gemstone Remedy
Venus is the planet of beauty. It governs over face, skin and private parts. The person who has malefic Venus in his birth chart would have to face problems related to the private parts many times. Some others diseases may also occur such as tuberculosis, eye related diseases, hysteria, urine related diseases, and hernia.
Diamond is the remedial gemstone for Venus. Rays of diamond which are present in the ether, give beneficial result to the health of the person.
Diseases Related to Saturn and Gemstone Remedy
Saturn is known as a cruel planet in the Jyotish shastra. Its favorite colors are blue and black. Blue sapphire is the remedy for Saturn. A blue aura always around this gemstone, it is known as the magical stone. The person who wears this gemstone can protect himself from Saturn related problems such as gout, cancer, swelling, constipation, paralysis, epilepsy and private part diseases. Due to Saturn, he may face an accident and problems in bones, if he wears this gemstone then he can protect himself from these problems.
Diseases Related to Rahu and Gemstone Remedy
Rahu is a malefic planet just like Saturn according to Jyotish shastra. If this planet is placed in the birth chart and it is malefic, then it not just creates hurdles in the progress of life but also causes different types of diseases. Due to Rahu, he may have stomach related problems, brain related disease, heart disease and leprosy, he may even face cancer, gout, smallpox problems due to spirits.
Gomedh which is also known as Cat's eye is the remedy for Rahu. It should be worn in a Panch-Dhatu (five-metal alloy) ring. It will help reduce the effect of these diseases.
Diseases Related to Ketu and Gemstone Remedy
Ketu and Rahu are the two parts of the body that's why its impact is quite similar to Rahu. It is also placed among cruel planets. If the native suffers from anemia, urine diseases, skin related diseases, cholera, piles and indigestion then we can understand that he is suffering from the malefic effects of Ketu. If he wants to get relief from these diseases then he will have to wear Sutra-mani also known as Lahsuniya. Lahsuniya is the gemstone for Ketu. The person can get relief from these diseases if he wear Lahsuniya. Women who wear this during their labor pains will be able to tolerate the pain more easily.

Most people's first mistake is buying a model train set on a whim, or buying one like dad gave them when they were a kid. Why? Because over and over I hear stories about how they just didn't realize how much space it was all going to take when they got it set up. Many a child has had their delight turn to dismay by the words "you don't have room for more track". So before you buy, know just how much room you have, and buy trains sized appropriately.
01 of 06
Train Tables
I'm a big fan of actually playing with trains, as in changing the track around frequently. This is why I use integrated roadbed track and work on a felt-covered 4x8 foot table top. Even if you're going to build a permanent layout, I advocate playing with temporary layouts for a while first to get a feel for what you can and can't do. For this purpose a 9x5 foot standard ping pong table is ideal as long as its sturdy. Of course the larger your scale, the sturdier your table needs to be.
Some people use cables and pulleys to lower model railroad tables from the ceiling and raise them for storage. If you don't have experience in building construction/renovation I would recommend using a licensed contractor to build such a thing.
02 of 06
Modular Layouts
Many people today build modular layouts. Modules frequently vary in length, but usually have a width of 2 feet. Standards are published for track positioning and wiring so that modules built by different people can be connected together. At the 2008 N Scale National Convention a layout of over 500 modules will be set up. Here are links to some module standards sites:
03 of 06
Permanent Layouts
Permanent layouts require serious space planning. Appropriate choice of scale will make a big difference in long term satisfaction or dissatisfaction with having allocated this space. O scale layouts take lots of space. HO and N scale outsell other scales because the average modeler can make space for an HO or N scale layout in their den, basement, or garage. Some apartment dwellers do remarkable things on small tables or shelves with Z scale. In decades past, permanent layouts were frequently built on tables 4x8 feet or larger. The problem with layouts 4x8 feet or is the reach it might require to pick up your derailed trains. A 4x8 is only a problem if it's against the wall, but when space planning always consider your longest reach.
04 of 06
Around the Walls
The trend today is away from large rectangular layouts to narrower layouts against the walls of a room. Today it is much more popular to build two foot wide layouts in an L or a U shape, perhaps with an "island" extending out into the the room making an M. One thing to watch out for when building an around-the-room layout is the reach into the corners remember that if the layout is three feet wide from both sides, the reach to the back of the corner is about over four feet, and you can't walk around to the other side like you can on a free-standing 4x8 foot layout.Continue to 5 of 6 below.
05 of 06
Multi-Level Layouts
A variation on the around-the-walls layouts is to put a two-foot shelf above a three or four-foot layout table. In order to move trains between the levels the layout using a helix, a vertical spiral track. Helix construction has become an entire sub-culture in the field of layout construction.
06 of 06
Brush Up On Your Carpentry
If you're planning on constructing a permanent layout complete with trees, hills, cities, and roads, you'll first have to build the benchwork to support it. There are books available that deal entirely with building benchwork for model railroad layouts. Among the most popular is How to Build Model Railroad Benchwork by Linn Hanson Wescott and Rick Selby.

Diabetes is extremely common in the United States. According to some sources, nearly half of all American adults have Type 2 diabetes or are at risk of getting the disease. For people with diabetes, a key to good health is good medicine management.
At Peachtree Pharmacy, we counsel our diabetic patients in the Atlanta area on ways that help them better manage their medications to reduce costs and improve overall health. If not properly managed, the consequences of diabetes can be severe, including cardiovascular disease; nerve, kidney, eye, and foot damage; and hearing problems.
In addition, poor management of diabetes medication can cause dementia. A study of 350,000 people with Type 2 diabetes found that people with poorly managed diabetes were also 50 percent more likely to suffer from dementia.
So staying on top of medications is critical to good health. At the core of this, of course, is monitoring and managing blood sugar, or glucose. Medications are designed to help you do this if diet and exercise are not enough. Medications may be oral or administered by injection or pump.
Dr. April Hang, Pharmacist at Peachtree Phamacy, suggests these guidelines to follow to make sure your medicine are working as well as they can:
- Be consistent. Take medications on time, and make them part of your daily routine. Should you miss a dose, know what to do to either catch up or modify your diet or behavior to compensate.
- Communicate with your doctor. Medication effectiveness can change over time, so it's important to let your doctor know if your prescriptions aren't working as well as they once did. Also report any side effects; with this knowledge, your doctor may recommend minor changes that can make a big difference in how you feel.
- If you're a senior, regular communications with your doctor is even more important. As you age, your body responds differently to drugs. This means you're at greater risk of overtreatment, which can cause blood sugar levels to go too low. And this can cause problems such as confusion or falls.
- Anticipate that you may need to cut back or change medications periodically. Should you notice a difference in how you feel, discuss it with your doctor and be willing to try something new, if he or she suggests it. NEVER change a medication on your own, but be open to a new drug if your doctor thinks it might help.
- Don't be afraid to ask questions of your pharmacist. We're happy to help you better understand your medications; it's part of our mission as your health care resource.
"One of the most dangerous things about diabetes is not communicating with your health care providers," said Dr. Hang. "It could put you at risk or prevent you from enjoying life as much as you should."

Today's note is a simple reminder that if you're using OpenGL ES and/or ANGLE, you're not exempt from the performance concerns I've discussed before. Launching quickly is still important for user experience, and developers want to provide a good first impression!
The classic OpenGL ES model is to compile the shaders from text. There is also the option to use a precompiled shader binary. This is also true for ANGLE - the OES_get_program_binary extension is supported. More details are available on the Caching compiled binaries page.
Note however that this model doesn't work for offline compilation; the bytecode or binaries produced are not device independent. So the usage is to compile on first run, and be prepared to recompile if the binaries become invalid, for example because the user installs a new video card or a driver update requires binaries to be recompiled.
Some of things I described in Compiling shaders vs creating shaders should also be considered. How many shaders are you going to compile, when are you going to compile them, and what your saving/loading/lookup strategy should be. These will typically be tradeoffs between longer startup vs. compiling as you go, disk usage, and random vs. uniform access patterns.

Project Description:
Population ageing – a shift in the distribution of a country's population towards older ages – represents one of the great global challenges of the 21st century. As a consequence "socially assistive robotics" have been incorporated into new models of care to meet rising expectations regarding aged wellbeing, as well as contain escalating costs of care provision. This project will explore how robotic technologies support elderly people in the development of autonomous social relationships and of associated social benefits and risks. The project will analyze how socially assistive robotics are being developed and deployed in care settings in Japan and Australia. It will identify the social and cultural factors that shape how people in Japan and Australia interact with socially assistive robotics. The project will advance understanding of how socially assistive robotics provide older citizens with novel ways of participating in social life, underpinning new care values relating to effective and low-cost service provision.
Project Leader:
Professor Anthony Elliott is Dean of External Engagement at the University of South Australia, where he also holds the posts of Director of the Hawke EU Centre and Research Professor of Sociology. He holds a BA Honours degree from the University of Melbourne and a PhD from Cambridge University, where he was supervised by Lord Anthony Giddens, architect of Third Way progressive politics. Professor Elliott holds various international research fellowships and professorships, and is currently Visiting Global Professor of Sociology in the Graduate School of Human Relations, Keio University, Japan and Visiting Professor of Sociology at University College Dublin, Ireland.
Professor Elliott is a prominent social theorist, sociologist and public intellectual. He is the author and editor of some 40 books, which have been translated or are forthcoming in seventeen languages. His work has been favourably reviewed in publications such as the Times Literary Supplement, Los Angeles Times, The British Journal of Sociology, British Medical Journal, American Imago and Choice. Professor Elliott also contributes to media worldwide: amongst others, he has been recently been interviewed by the BBC World Service, The Sunday Times, ABC Radio National, The Australian, BBC Radio 4, GMTV Sunday as well as European and North American radio and television networks.
Professor Elliott is currently working with his research team on artificial intelligence, robotics, machine learning and global transformations. His research on AI and robotics is funded by the Australian Research Council, the Toyota Foundation, the European Commission through Ersasmus+ Monnet Actions and other agencies. In 2017, Professor Elliott was appointed by the Office of the Chief Scientist to the Australian Council of Learned Academies as a Panel Member of the Expert Working Group on Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning. His next book is titled The Culture of Artificial Intelligence, published by Routledge in 2018.
Project Funding:
Toyota Foundation
Generous financial support has been provided by The Toyota Foundation (https://www.toyotafound.or.jp)
Project Partners and Co-Investigators:

Dr. Ross Boyd (University of South Australia)
Professor Atsushi Sawai (Keio University)
Dr. Yukari Ishii (Toyo University)
Professor Masataka Katagiri (Rissho University)
Project Participation:
The project seeks to conduct short interviews with two social groups in Japan and in Australia: (1) people who are involved in the development, design, and engineering of robotic technologies for the elderly and (2) people who are involved in the management of aged care services. Analysis of these interviews is meant to yield new sociological insights about how robotic technologies stand to transform the lives of elderly people in Japan and Australia.
Interviews will last about 40 minutes at a time and location that is convenient and comfortable for study participants. Participation is entirely voluntary and study participants can decide to withdraw from the project at any time, without reason and any negative consequences.
Ethical approval for this research has been obtained from the University of South Australia Human Research Ethics Committee (ID# 200124).

Need something to keep you busy this weekend? Look no further. The Weekend Workshop is our weekly column where we showcase a badass DIY project that you can complete with minimal skills and expertise. We've dug through all the online tutorials on the web, and gone the extra mile to pinpoint projects that are equal parts easy, affordable, and fun. So put on your work pants, grab your tool belt, and head to the garage — it's time to start building!
If you've never seen a Rubens' Tube before, you're in for a treat. In a nutshell, this crazy contraption is basically a waveform visualizer that uses fire to display the shape of sound — and it's surprisingly simple to build. The whole apparatus is basically just a closed tube with a few holes drilled in it and some propane pumped through it. Light the jets, put a speaker on one end, and the flames will magically start to pulse along with the music.
Here's how it works: As sound moves through the gas, the waves create areas of high pressure and low pressure form at fixed points along the tube. This forces the propane gas to be expelled from the holes more quickly in some zones (generating a taller flame) and more slowly in others (creating a shorter flame) This effectively allows you to visualize the standing wave that's created inside the tube.
When you play a constant tone of, say 440 Hz (the musical note A), the flames will form a perfect sine wave. Adjusting the frequency of this tone will alter the shape of the wave accordingly, and playing a full song will cause the flames to dance and pulse with the music. This pyrotechnic visualization is absolutely mesmerizing to watch, and is guaranteed to be a hit at your next backyard party.
*Note: Working with fire and propane is a potentially dangerous activity. Digital Trends accepts no responsibility for injuries sustained while performing these activities, and recommends the use of proper safety equipment during all stages of the process.
What you'll need
- Electric drill
- Drill bits: 1/2 inch and 1/8 inch
- Tape measure
- Duct tape
- Masking tape
- Scissors
- Pliers
- Permanent marker
- Metal file
- 5 feet of metal duct pipe (3-inch diameter)
- Plastic or metal end cap (3-inch diameter)
- 2 brass barb MIP adapters, (3/8 inch x 1/4 inch)
- 1 plastic barb tee adaptor (3/8 x 3/8 x 3/8 inch)
- 2 rubber o-rings (1/2-inch diameter)
- 2 washers (1/2-inch inner diameter)
- 10 feet of latex hose (3/8-inch outer diameter, 1/4 inch inner diameter
- 1 latex balloon (large)
- Old computer speakers (Or new, whatever. I find that Goodwill typically has a good selection.)
- Propane tank (20 gallon)
- Propane tank regulator w/ 3/8 inch barbed output
- Safety glasses

Our house isn't big, so outdoor living spaces are key. Plus, why did we move to Portland in the first place if not to enjoy the outdoors? So after some painting and cosmetic stuff inside, a patio in the backyard was job one. I actually promised my wife and daughter our first hot tub ever as part of our big move West, and the patio is the base for the tub.
We already had a nice big space marked out, 14 by 21, right off the small deck in back. That's a lot of materials, but stone suppliers all deliver. I actually went with some affordable tumbled concrete pavers from Home Depot, called RumbleStone. A 14×21 space is also a lot of digging, and our tiny fence gates wouldn't let in a big digging machine.
Luckily, I really only needed to level the area and then build up the base from there, so I went with a shovel and muscle power. Two days later, I was almost done. Good lord. The key is careful layout with stakes and strings, which ensure that you are keeping everything flat, yet tilting the patio a bit away from the house to send water that way.
I'll be compacting the whole area with a rented tool, called a plate compactor, but to do a bit of tamping and get everything close to level, I made my own tamper, which works awesome!

How to Grow Old: Bertrand Russell on What Makes a Fulfilling Life – Brain Pickings
july 2018 by bekishore
Make your interests gradually wider and more impersonal, until bit by bit the walls of the ego recede, and your life becomes increasingly merged in the universal life. An individual human existence should be like a river — small at first, narrowly contained within its banks, and rushing passionately past rocks and over waterfalls. Gradually the river grows wider, the banks recede, the waters flow more quietly, and in the end, without any visible break, they become merged in the sea, and painlessly lose their individual being.dob yearly weekly monthly regularly bertrand russell howto how to how2 grow old fulfilling life whatis whatisa what is brainpickings 0

Hi everyone! I'm a 19 year old freshman in college living in Nebraska. I've learned so much about the environment, recycling, and waste management in a couple of my classes, which has motivated me to do my own research. I've done a lot of research about the zero waste lifestyle and I'm ready to begin the shift towards zero waste. As a college kid, I'm finding it very frustrating. I don't always have enough money to buy ingredients to make my own products, such as toothpaste. Also, I don't have a kitchen to prepare concoctions or make snacks to avoid packaging. I'm also on the go a lot so I find myself eating snacks from packaging and buying food from Subway or Jimmy Johns.
In short, I'm getting frustrated because I have all the motivation to start now, but my budget and living situation are saying differently. Anyone got some encouraging words to share?

The economy in Japan, the world's second-largest oil importer, contracted 1.8 percent in the third quarter, more than the government originally estimated, the Cabinet Office said today. The Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries, controller of 40 percent of global oil supplies, is due to meet in eight days.
Crude oil for January delivery fell as much as 70 cents, 1.6 percent, to $43.01 a barrel in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange. The contract traded at $43.05 at 1:34 p.m. London time.
Yesterday, futures gained $2.90, or 7.1 percent, to $43.71 a barrel. Prices have fallen 70 percent since reaching a record $147.27 a barrel on July 11 as the recession deepens.
Last week, oil had the biggest fall since 1991 and metal prices slumped after economic data showed the recession is getting worse. The U.S. economy lost 533,000 jobs in November, bringing job losses this year to 1.91 million.
Brent crude oil for January settlement fell as much as 82 cents, or 1.9 percent, to $42.60 a barrel on London's ICE Futures Europe exchange. It was at $42.65 a barrel at 1:52 p.m. London time.
The Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries should make a substantial" output cut when it meets in Algeria on Dec. 17, Libya's top oil official, Shokri Ghanem, said yesterday. OPECagreed to cut daily output 1.5 million barrels in October as prices slumped and inventories rose.
Saudi Arabia, the world's largest crude oil exporter, is furthest from meeting OPEC quotas, helping to dull the impact of the cartel's policy. The country is producing at 107 percent of its limit, according to Bloomberg estimates. That's more than Kuwait, Iran, Venezuela or the United Arab Emirates.
Saudi Arabia has started to trim oil exports. State oil company Saudi Aramco will reduce shipments to Japanese refiners including Nippon Oil Corp., Idemitsu Kosan Co. and Cosmo Oil Co. by 7 to 10 percent in January from levels agreed under annual contracts, said officials at two refineries who received notices yesterday from the company.

Ella is getting the itch to move. She's getting up on all fours and rocking back and forth which they say is the beginning of crawling. My parents said I just skipped the crawling and went straight to walking and I think Keith did about the same so we'll see with Ella. She's been getting around pretty well by rolling so she may just stick with that for awhile. I love watching her progress.
PS - I know this isn't going to be a hit with a certain Aunt of mine, but I'm going to start posting pictures of Ella on her website only once a month instead of every week. I'll try to be really good about posting pictures on the blog though.

Father's Day Gift
Every Father's Day I try to come up with a fun new gift idea for my dad. A couple of years ago I bought him a canvas print of all the grandkids and last year I bought him a digital frame. This year I was stuck on what to buy until I found this cool watch from Jord.
Jord watches are made from wood which is perfect for my dad for several reasons. The first and most important reason is that it is super lightweight. My dad is a computer programmer so a big and bulky watch will just get in his way at work.
Another great thing about a wood watch is that it won't get hot when you wear it in the sun. Metal watches are not ideal for the spring/summer, whereas, a wood watch would not store heat.
Last but certainly not least is the fact that the Jord watch is a unique watch! Everyone has a metal or leather watch but how many people have a wooden watch! It is definitely a conversation piece and one that will be sure to receive a lot of attention.
Currently there is a Father's Day promotion on Jord watches and all customers can receive 15% off!
In addition, I'm hosting a giveaway for $100 gift card towards your purchase! Everyone who enters the giveaway will receive a $25 gift card so there are no losers!! The contest ends July 2, 2017 so unfortunately the gift cards won't be ready in time for Father's Day. However, if you love the men's watch, you can use the gift card to buy one for yourself! Jord also carries a number of women's watches so you can have a unique watch as well!
The link to the giveaway is https://www.woodwatches.com/g/lifashionablefoodie. Good luck everyone and hope you have an amazing Father's Day!!

Subash Agarwal, Advocate
CA Swati Baid
In India, people have immense faith in God and thus some amount of money is always deployed by people for Him. People, on regular basis, expend certain amount of money in performing different types of puja. These expenses are debited while preparing the Profit and loss account of the business concern of a person. But whether the same is allowed as deduction while computing the total income of the assessee for the Income Tax purpose? This question has always been in controversy and various judgements have been pronounced, both in favour and against the view that the expenses incurred in relation to the any puja can be claimed as deduction under the Income Tax Act.
In Income Tax Act, a person can claim the deduction of an expense from the income derived from business and profession. The expenses which are incurred for the business purpose are only allowed as deduction u/s 30 to 44 DB of the I.T.Act, 1961. Not all but specific expenses are only allowed as deduction as business expenses in the Income Tax. However, there is a residuary section, sec 37(1), under which the expenses not covered under the specific sections 30 to 36, the deduction for those expenses can be claimed under this section provided certain other conditions are fulfilled.
As per sec. 37(1) Any expenditure (not being expenditure of the nature described in sections 30 to 36 and not being in the nature of capital expenditure or personal expenses of the assessee, laid out or expended wholly and exclusively for the purposes of the business or profession shall be allowed in computing the income chargeable under the head "Profits and gains of business or profession".
Thus, for claiming the deduction u/s 37(1) of the Act following conditions are to be fulfilled:
· Such expenditure should not be covered under the specific sections i.e. sections 30 to 36
· The expenditure should not be of capital nature
· The expenditure should be incurred during the previous year
· The expenditure should not be of personal nature
· The expenditure should have been incurred wholly and exclusively for the purpose of the business or profession
· The business should be commenced.
The expenses incurred by the assessee in relation to any puja performed especially during the inauguration of the new office and at the time of Diwali Pujan do not fall under any specific Sec of the I.T.Act where the deduction of the same can be claimed. But, the same can be claimed as deduction under the residuary sec 37(1) of the Act provided the abovementioned conditions are fulfilled.
However, various courts have taken a contrary view and have upheld disallowance of expenses relating to any puja treating them either as a personal expense of the director of the company and not the business expenditure. The High Court of Karnataka in the case of Sanghameshwar Coffee Estates Ltd. [1986] 160 ITR 203 and the Bombay High Court in the case of Kolhapur Sugar Mill Ltd. [1979] 119 ITR 387 has held that pooja is performed by the followers of a particular religion or faith. A company, which is only a juristic person, cannot claim to profess, practice, or follow any religion or faith. It was held that a company, which is a creation by legal fiction and not a real person made up of flesh and blood, cannot profess any religion and therefore, performance of pooja cannot be said to be the need of business.
However, the High Courts in the above cases did not consider the fact that any expenditure incurred by the director for or on behalf of the company has to be treated as a business expense. The pooja performed would motivate the employees and workers to contribute to the development and progress of the business of the company.
The Punjab and Haryana High Court in the case of Atlas Cycle Industries Ltd. [1982] 134 ITR 458 has held that "no curbs can be placed on the discretion of the assessee to provide the type of recreation, which, according to it, would best advance the interest of the business. If the recreation provided, even if it is in the nature of the religious activity, has direct nexus with the welfare of a class of workers engaged by the assessee, it is wholly immaterial if the recreation provided is directly or indirectly connected with the religious tenets of a section of the society".
Reliance can be placed in the case of Brijramandas and Sons [1983] 142 ITR 509 wherein the Allahabad High Court has held that Ganeshjiki Pooja expenses, which Hindu traders do in a customary way at the time of Mahurat or opening of their account books on the auspicious occasion of Diwali, are to be treated as expenditure laid out wholly and exclusively for the purpose of assessee's business and is therefore allowable u/s 37(1) of the Income Tax Act, 1961.
CBDT in its Circular no. 13/A/20/68-IT(A-II) dated 3.10.1968 has stated that as the expenses incurred on the occasion of Diwali and mahurat are in the nature of business expenditure, it has been decided not to lay down any monetary limits for the purpose of their allowance in the income-tax assessments subject to the Income-tax Officer being satisfied that the expenses are admissible as a deduction under the law and are not expenses of a personal, social or religious nature.
In our opinion, puja expenses incurred by the assessees are not personal expenses and are incurred wholly and exclusively for the business and should be allowed as deduction u/s 37(1) of the Act. Judiciary has taken different views on different occasions and CBDT circular has confounded the problem by giving the discretion to the assessing officer in the matter.
Thus, one has to wait for the authoritative pronouncement from the Supreme Court in the matter to clinch the issue. It is better that the business associations/ chambers of commerce can request the CBDT to unambiguously clarify the allowability of the same. After all, people's faith in the providence to bring prosperity through business has inextricable linkage with the business of the assessee and as rightly held by the Punjab & Haryana High Court, puja is a sort of recreation provided to the employees.

An Indian-origin girl, who was kidnapped for ransom at a town near Johannesburg, was found murdered on Sunday, police said.
The body of 10-year-old Marissa Naidoo, who went missing from her school on Thursday, was found stuffed in a suitcase during a raid at a house at the town of Benoni, police said.
The kidnapper, who was spotted by the police, died while trying to evade arrest. His identity has not been disclosed.
Police said the kidnapper demanded R500,000 from the young girl's father for her safe return.
Investigations led the detectives to a flat in Radio City, Benoni this morning. Police forced their way into the flat, and found the body of Marissa in the suitcase. On arrival, a man in his late thirties jumped from the 3rd floor building. He died shortly afterwards, police added.
Preliminary investigations show the girl might have been suffocated.

Tolleck Winner - People
Tolleck Winner's sculpture can be found on the same spot where Lee Grandjean's 'Second Entrance' once stood - both pieces in some way representing two figures.
The work was inspired by the reflection in a river of two people walking together. Created from carbon steel, 'People' is designed to change as the elements effect it, oxidising and changing colour.

Here's my situation: Two sisters have been enemies for years. Neither one speaks to the other. Recently, their father, who lives far away, was found to have cancer and admitted to the hospital. One of the sisters knows about his condition, but the other doesn't because the father made the one he told promise not to tell her sister or anyone else in the family. Should this promise be kept? Doesn't the sister who knows have a duty to tell the other?
Anonymous, Hampton Bays, N.Y.
And you wonder why these women are acting like Cold Warriors — with a father who pits them against each other this way? It's no secret I hate secrets. Too often, they're simply tools of manipulation. And when people want to tell me theirs, I quickly reply: "I am terrible at keeping them, so spill at your peril." (It usually works.)
But let's give people with health secrets a wider berth. If Dad wants some time to come to grips with this diagnosis, or if the sister in the dark tends to theatrics (and is apt to go full Blanche DuBois, putting her father under even greater strain), keep his secret. On the sliding scale of humane behavior, I favor a sick person's need to take care of himself over others (even loving others) who may want to know about his condition.
But disregard this advice if the father in question — yours, right? — is on his deathbed and withholding the news would rob your sister of a chance to say goodbye. Unless she did something monstrous (and even then), showing an enemy some compassion, and overriding your father's wishes, seems the lesser evil. See why secrets are so lousy (and burdensome)?
And while we're on the subject of ancient grudges, pick your lane: feuding sisters, like old Hollywood's Olivia de Havilland and Joan Fontaine (who gave each other the silent treatment for 40 years over a measly Oscar statuette), or forward-looking forgivers like Nelson Mandela, who figured out the grace and power that comes with forgiveness. Your sister may still be a misery, but if you haven't reached out to her lately, maybe it's time to take another crack.
Price of Friendship
I own a mountain cabin and occasionally invite friends for weekend visits. I appreciate and sometimes expect my guests to contribute to the cost of meals, gas and cleaning fees. What is the appropriate way for guests to pay their share? I often end up feeling resentful and penny-pinching, which is unpleasant for me and my guests.
Sandra, New Mexico
We all have our own expectations of house guests. I'm thrilled if mine don't wreck the place and take me to dinner on their second night. But since you have more specific expectations, which seem reasonable enough, why not speak up when you make your invitation? "Care to join me at the cabin for the weekend? We can split the grocery bill and cost of maid service, O.K.?" That way, they know the score and you can relax, money misunderstandings having been averted. You'll be free to make your guests feel at home (even if, eventually, you wish they were).
Retrace Your Missteps
My wife and I invited a couple we want to cultivate as friends to lunch at a restaurant. When we arrived, I instructed the waiter to bring me the check at the end of the meal. He agreed. But when the time came, he told me it had already been taken care of. I lost my temper at the table and told him to fix it or I would make sure he lost his job. He apologized, but nothing was changed. How could I have handled this better?
J. P., Seattle
Holy Hothead, Batman! (And I think Ben Affleck will do just fine.) You have some serious apologizing to do, first to the poor waiter. It sounds as if both couples asked for the check in advance. How was he to choose? Go back to the restaurant and tell him you're sorry for the rough treatment.
Now, on to your would-be friends: I have never liked anyone better because they bought me lunch. Friendship doesn't work that way. Call the man and say: "I'm sorry for my tantrum. I was determined to buy lunch because we think you're a lovely couple. Will you let us reciprocate, if I keep the dragon in its cage?" As for picking up checks in the future, ask the manager to run your credit card in advance. Authorize him to fill in the proper amount with a nice tip. Works like a charm.
Oh, Baby
People gush over my baby's appearance. I am biased, but I recognize that he is quite cute. What should I do when another mother compliments his beauty, but I don't feel the same about her child? I sound insincere returning the compliment, but just saying "thank you" feels wrong.
Anonymous, New York
By now, mother dear, you should know that the joy of new life has nothing to do with movie-star looks. And there's always something to compliment in a baby: "What a beautiful smile!" or "Look at those sparkling eyes!" Just open your heart and find it.
