It hit a heavy, humid 90 degrees as I was walking up Sixth Avenue to get my kid from the LARPing camp we signed him up for, and my shirt clung to my skin like seaweed. Then, mercifully, a breeze picked up. And picked up some more. A woman around my age approached, pushing a toddler in a stroller. "Ah," she said, beaming. "That wind!" She took her hands off the stroller, letting it roll, and stretched her arms out like wings. Her sleeves billowed, and she said, half to me, half to the kid, "I want to let it carry me!"
The image she conjured brought a smile to my face. As we passed each other and nodded goodbye, I pictured the three of us airborne, floating skyward like Mary Poppins — human kites, flying away on the God-sent breeze and good cheer.
Weather conditions affect us all, quite obviously, which is exactly what makes them such oft-abused fodder for discussion. You can know nothing at all about the person you happen to pass on the sidewalk or stand behind in line at the deli or find yourself in an elevator with, but you know one thing that they're enduring or enjoying or otherwise experiencing because you've been experiencing it, too. If you're searching for something to say, nothing could be more apparent. For this reason — banality — talking about the weather has gotten a bad rap. Oscar Wilde is said to have called it "the last refuge of the unimaginative." (This is actually untrue — he said this of consistency — but so widely repeated on the internet that it must reflect some deep-seated cultural hatred.)
I disagree with this notion, sort of. Or rather, I think the boringness is part of what makes it a worthwhile endeavor. Mundane conversations like these are the way we practice being around other people. We all do it, either by choice or under duress, very often, so much so that most of us have the basic format memorized, whether we realize it or not.
Person 1: Boy is it [variable weather condition] outside.
Person 2: It sure is! I can't remember the last time it was so [variable weather condition].
Person 1: Well, I guess it's better than [extreme opposite of current weather condition].
Person 2: It's getting so crazy these days. [Something about climate change.]
It is, indeed, pretty boring. So, Wilde would ask, why bother?
Because, I would argue, great challenge and pleasure come in creating something novel out of the routine. What I admire is talking about the weather in a way that makes it something other than a miserable and tedious experience, a mere overwriting of what would otherwise be an unmemorable interaction or, worse, a prolonged, awkward silence. What I'm talking about is talking about the weather with style.
It is precisely the superficiality of talking about the weather — of something so common, so pedestrian — that, contra Wilde, makes it a blank canvas upon which talented people can work wonders. And, as is often the case with art, the strictures of the form can inspire small-bore, tight-focus creative excellence. With just the slightest bit of effort, a boring conversation is suddenly filled with allusions to Siberian graveyards and stolen flamethrowers, polar bears' toenails and Georgia asphalt in July. I remember my father, shoveling snow off our driveway in New Jersey after a winter storm, greeting a neighbor with a crude colloquialism. "Colder than a witch's tit in a brass brassiere," he said, breath freezing in the air. As for summertime, well, I don't know if you've ever heard the one about the sexually frustrated woodland creature trapped in a forest fire. You won't read it in The Times, but trust me, it's a good one.
A vast reservoir of clichés has developed over generations of these supposedly lame conversations, a byproduct of the ingenuity the topic demands. And now even these clichés can be amusing for the fact that they're so tired. I'm being serious when I say that in the hands of a master conversationalist, a well-timed, perfectly placed "Hot enough for you?" can serve delight on a very hot day or (even better) a very cold one. ("It's not the heat, it's the humidity" is starting to gain similar status.) It reminds us, by dint of its banality, of our common, corny American heritage. This is hardly boring; it's democratic, a shared language that allows us to connect with strangers easily, noncommittally and without causing offense.
Just the other day, it hit 80 degrees in April, and I was talking about it with the barista at a new coffee place that opened in my neighborhood. I was saying how miserable it was to have skipped right past spring and plunged into the swampy heat of summer so soon. "New York City gives you like one week of spring and one week of autumn," I said, employing one of my go-to weather observations while the milk steamed. "We get one week of bearable weather on either side of too-hot summer and too-cold winter. Doesn't seem fair."
The barista looked up, seeming a little stoned, as baristas can tend to seem. "Yeah, that's New York all right," he said. "But that's how we know where we are."

Unfortunately, when I took some time away from the computer the flotilla hadn't arrived yet in the bay. I hung around Spurn Head for a while, looking at the sea and sky, with a harbour seal looking at me. The wind picked up a little when I turned back to shore and got back to writing.

About us
Debucate is a privately funded, independent and open debate platform, free for everybody to participate. We aim to foster civilized and intelligent discussion on controversial topcis and encourage Arguments from all points of view. We do not take sides and accept all Arguments as long as they adhere to our Posting Guidelines.
Debucate's mission is to provide a place for people to share knowledge and educate themselves about topics in a factual, holistic manner.
We see several shortcomings in most ways information is consumed today:
- Author bias: Information like newspaper articles are often written by one person with a specific objective in mind. This leads to the risk that the author intentionally or unintentionally presents a topic in a biased way.
- Herd mentality: If everybody around believes in the same thing, one may accept these beliefs without properly challenging them.
- Conflict escalation: When people with opposing opinions do communicate with each other, especially on the internet, it often escalates to a point where healthy discussion breaks down and insults are traded rather than arguments.
- Information overload: With the amount of information we have at our disposal today, it becomes impossible to evaluate all information at hand and increasingly difficult to develop a good understanding on everything going on.
We aim to improve on these shortcomings in the following way:
- Reduce Author bias: By allowing everybody to participate in the debate and make their Argument heard.
- Reduce Herd mentality by presenting both sides: For each Topic Arguments and Counter-Arguments are visible side by side. This allows to easily compare Arguments and make up your own mind based on both sides.
- Reduce escalation by keeping discussion on topic: By moderating submitted Arguments, we ensure that all Arguments remain on topic and free of personal insults.
- Reduce information overload by structuring information: Grouping Arguments within an overall Point and allowing voting, makes it easier to get an understanding of the Top Points and Arguments on each side.

Parks Associates: Roku Tops Streaming Device Market
Tuesday was Parks Associates' turn to size up the streaming media device market, revealing a study showing that 10% of U.S. broadband homes bought such a product — either in player or stick form — during the first three quarters of 2014.
Parks Associates said Roku remained the sector's lead brand, with 29% of sales, followed by the Google Chromecast (20%), which supplanted the spot last held by the Apple TV (17%).
The Amazon Fire TV box, launched in April, held the fourth spot, with a 10% share, according to Parks Associates. Amazon started to ship its newer (and cheaper) Fire TV Stick last month, and has since labeled it as the fastest-selling Amazon device ever, though the company has yet to release any specific sales figures on it.

15 Jan Soundproofing Your Centre
Picture this: you walk into the room where your sensory deprivation tank awaits you. You're looking forward to being alone and clearing your mind after a long, stressful day at work. You prepare yourself and step into your tank. It's pitch black and silent. You slowly start slipping into a mindfulness that ultimately leads to feeling totally balanced and relaxed. All you hear is your breath. But all of a sudden the faint murmur of a client in the lobby wanders into range. "What is she saying?" you think to yourself. "I wonder if she's ever floated before. Maybe she'll be using this tank after I've finished". Before you know it you've left your meditative state and you're back at square one.
If you're opening a float centre, chances are you've found a space with a variety of rooms to house your float tanks. Perhaps you've decided to decorate in a minimalistic fashion to help your clients feel more at ease while preparing for their float. However, no amount of decoration or atmosphere can send a person into relaxation mode the way silence can. That's why ensuring your tank rooms are properly soundproofed is incredibly important.
For those of you having issues with soundproofing, don't fret! There's hope for you yet. Here are a few soundproofing tips to help silence centres with even the thinnest of walls.
Airtight is Right
Beware of any drafts coming into the room. Whether air is entering through a crack under the door or poor sealant in your windows, if you can feel a breeze you will definitely be able to hear sound as well. Caulk everything that you can including electrical boxes, light fixtures, plumbing lines and any cracks you find in walls and trimming.
Ensuring all windows are properly installed is an essential part of keeping your centre soundproofed from the noises of the parking lot and street. Even if there aren't windows in the tank rooms, keeping the ones in reception well-caulked is a great step to eliminating street noise from the centre. Double-paned windows with vinyl frames should be chosen for all windows in your centre from the get-go to block out invasive car honks and engine revs from the outside world.
Your Poor Doors
It's definitely worth it to invest in heavy doors that sound will be less likely to travel through. Ensure all your doors have sweeps or if you're able to, invest in automatic door bottoms—they lower to fit exactly to the ground when the door is closed keeping sound out more effectively than regular sweeps.
Insulate, Insulate, Insulate
A great idea for soundproofing is opting to install actual soundproof insulation (a denser version of fibreglass insulation). There are a few brands you can find in your local hardware store such as Roxul Safe'n'Sound insulation. Air gaps will provide the best value, but will also take away that much needed floor space. The industry standard is called a double studded wall and more information on this can be found on the Float Tank Solutions Blog.
Add Some Extras
It never hurts to add a little extra padding to your soundproofing plan. The biggest challenge will come from reducing the low vibrational sounds (ie: heavy base music, motorcycle, neighbours, etc) that emit through the floor or concrete slab, versus, the high vibration sounds (ie: customers talking, foot steps, etc). Opt for tiled walls when decorating float rooms and find a few wall hangings or tapestries to put up around the space as well. You can even find sound control curtains to add to windows or hallways. Every little bit helps and in the end the space will look fuller and more desirable too.
Don't forget that your tanks shouldn't be directly on the floor. We can help you out with that one. We've got 100% Recycled Anti-Vibration Mats you can purchase online or shipped with your Pro Float Cabin. They're ½" thick and can be customised to fit any float tank size. Check out our online shop for accessories or contact us today for more tips on soundproofing your centre. We're always here to help!

So the "Pot Roast" experiment lasted just one season at Redskins Park, after Terrance Knighton confirmed via Twitter he'll be leaving Washington and entering free agency:
The move is something of a surprise, even if Knighton didn't exactly do the job he was hired to do last season. Despite his massive frame and well-earned reputation as one of the NFL's toughest run stoppers, the Redskins still ranked 26th against the rush in 2015.
Still, waving goodbye to Knighton so soon does create a rather large hole at the heart of Washington's D-line. A 6'3″, 354-pound (at least) hole to be exact.
Fortunately though, this year's free agency class offers a plethora of shiny new options general manager Scot McCloughan can consider for the most important position in Washington's 3-4 scheme.
But first the Redskins must decide exactly what type of player they want at the nose tackle position. Specifically, do the Burgundy and Gold want a sumo-sized, two-gapper who will play directly over the center, absorb blocks and create plays for others?
Or do they want a quicker, more active gap-splitter, a nimble lineman better suited to the one-gap style of 3-4 favoured by defensive coordinator Joe Barry?
Free agency boasts strong candidates for both types:
The Sumo-Sized 0-Technique
Damon Harrison of the New York Jets clearly leads the way in this field. The player dubbed "Snacks" tips the scales at 350 pounds.
But he's also likely to tip the balance of Washington's salary cap toward the red. Bleacher Report's NFL Insider Jason Cole has already reported the price is likely too rich for the men from Gotham City. Cole also named the Tennessee Titans as the leading suitor for 27-year-old Harrison.
Yet while Harrison is an immovable object in the middle of a three-man line, he sometimes lacks the leverage needed to really control things in the trenches. Standing 6'4″ makes him a little too tall for the classic 0-technique.
Perhaps the most intriguing player for McCloughan to consider here is Nick Fairley. He's rarely hit the heights expected since being drafted 13th overall in 2011 by the Detroit Lions.
But one of the problems has been many having the wrong expectations for Fairley. The former Auburn star was expected to be another Ndamukong Suh, even though his game is about different qualities.
Still just 28, Fairley is not a dynamic playmaker who will live behind the line of scrimmage. Instead, he's a malevolent mass of humanity who will fill gaps and put up a brick wall against the run.
His traits belong over center where a player who has been dogged by niggling injuries and questions about his effort, would revive his career.
Gordon McGuiness of Pro Football Focus recently identified the need to use Fairley sparingly as a key factor every potential suitor must be aware of:
"His worst season so far came when he was asked to play 693 snaps, so perhaps the key to getting the most out of Fairley is limiting his usage."
Considering how little teams use their base defensive front in today's game, keeping Fairley fresh should be no problem at all for the Redskins. Using him in 3-4 looks to stuff the run, before swapping him out for a pass-rusher in nickel situations, would suit both player and team perfectly.
One below-the-radar option to be aware of is Cam Thomas. He played for Barry with the San Diego Chargers, and at 335 pounds, has the size to block out the sun.
The Active Gap Plugger
Jaye Howard leads the way among the Jeremiah Ratliff-style nose tackles. The ex-Seattle Seahawks draftee actually played on the nose for the Kansas City Chiefs at the start of last season.
Mammoth marvel Dontari Poe eventually took his job back, but Howard was still a prominent member of KC's fearsome front.
Any lineman with the flexibility to play end or nose guard, either in the gaps or directly over a blocker, will always have value. Howard offers plenty of that following a season that saw him record career-best marks for tackles (57) and sacks (5.5).
The 27-year-old would fit in Washington as a player who could play a shade technique just off the shoulder of a center. This position would let Howard split the A-gaps or even slant across into the guard-tackle B-gaps, something that would let Barry call more line stunts and twists.
The Chiefs won't want to lose such a flexible friend. But with linebackers Tamba Hali and Derrick Johnson, along with cornerback Sean Smith, also ticketed for free agency, the numbers won't allow KC to keep all of their defensive arsenal intact.
If McCloughan doesn't want to pay over the odds for Howard, his search for a more cost-effective choice should focus on Ian Williams of the San Francisco 49ers. At 6'1″ and 305 pounds, he's got classic over-the-center size.
The 26-year-old actually plays bigger than his measurements. While they compare him to Harrison as a force against the run, Gregg Rosenthal and Chris Wesseling of the league's official site credit Williams "possibly with more value on passing downs."
Each of the nose tackles on this list are the right side of 30 for McCloughan. They also all offer excellent value for what the Redskins need, namely an active run-stuffer to anchor their base defense.
Fairley is the gamble, but may offer the biggest reward. Alternatively, either Howard or Williams would give Washington a young and versatile D-lineman eager to earn greater attention for his talents.
Whichever way he goes, McCloughan must not overlook addressing the key position up front ahead of the new season.

Trigger, Penny, and Blizz
We FINALLY went horseback riding in TN. We've had it on our to-do list for the past couple of years but never actually got it on our schedule.
The Deer Farm Exotic Petting Zoo and Riding Stables. Our guides name was Mike and he was lots of fun. Even though he had to yell at Ken a couple of times to get his horse moving. LOL
And here's another of Ken and Annie- way behind everyone:
I was on a horse named Bo and we had no problems. Oh, except for the fact that he was in love with Katie's horse Tina who was in front of us. Gavin's horse was Blizz and he had no problems riding at all. He thought it was pretty cool that he got to ride a horse for 45 minutes! Danyelle's horse was named Trigger and was a great horse also!

Sunday Fashion Show
Katelyn woke up Saturday morning sick. She was having trouble breathing and her cough was just horrible. So we started off the day bright and early with a breathing treatment at 7am. My poor girl laid on the couch all day so sad that she was sick.
I think by 11PM we were at a total of 4 breathing treatments and her chest was FINALLY clearing up. Nothing like breathing problems to make me worry sick all day long. And I truly mean ALL.DAY.LONG.
BUT---by Sunday when she woke up, Katelyn was 100% better. Her cough was all gone and her energy was back. And to thank me for all of my loving care the day before Katelyn treated me to a fashion show. I'm not sure what kind of fashion she thinks this is, but lets go with it.
And she's really got the pose down for the runway. She can really strike a pose in her "heel shoes".
But sometimes as a model you have to be able to switch up your look. Like a change of hair color for example.
And last, but not least, to complete the look of being fabulous....you have to have the upside down sunglasses.
Move over supermodels of the world....Here comes Katelyn!

Delaware County: A Modern Day Fairy Tale
As a child we were entertained with reading fairy tales by the Grimm Brothers, Hans Christian Anderson and a wide variety of fantastic authors. Fairy Tales held some high moral ground like integrity, honesty, compassion and character which was a reoccurring theme and easily defined. Of course, we are now adults, and for the most part, know we can't ride a magic carpet or sleep for 100 years…still we can take the lessons taught and apply it today.
One of my favorite tales was about an Emperor who loved to style. Hans Christian Anderson wove an intricate tale of a man who loved his clothes. One day two rogue designers came to the city, selling their ability to weave magnificent garments with the most unbelievable colors. Of course, the Emperor was intrigued and imagined himself arrayed in splendor. This was a "must" buy and commissioning of the suit began. He sent an officer of the court to examine the progress of his robes but, the looms were empty.
"Why there is nothing in the looms" thought the officer of the court.
The knaves, seeing the poor man was perplexed, invited him to look closer and examine the quality of the weave. Not wishing to look like a silly, he clapped his hands and exclaimed, "The Emperor will be so pleased." The story progresses to the Emperor who in turn examined the clothing. Like the man before him, not wanting to look like a fool, is overjoyed at the quality of his new garments. He can hardly contain his excitement.
The Emperor undressed and the rogues began the task of fitting him with his new clothes. The procession through the city started and as the people stood and cried out "Indeed, the emperor's new suit is incomparable! What a long train he has! How well it fits him!" Fearing to look like fools, not one of the Emperor's subjects dared to consider the poor man was naked.
"But he has nothing on at all," said a little child at last. Those standing on the street and looking out the windows exclaimed "The Emperor has no clothes."
The Emperor knew he had been had by the swindlers, he knew the people saw him naked, yet with pride he continued the charade parade.
Now, there is plenty we can take from the 1837 fairy tale and apply it today. For example, we have a Commissioner who loves being green and loves spending your green. In 2009 a company came to Delaware County hawking the idea of wind powered streetlights and a magnificent wind vane. "Oh, the beauty of it all" said he looking at nothing and paying $1.5 million dollars for something very similar to the Emperor's new clothes. All of the people danced in the streets applauding the purchase of nothing.
The Emperor purchased nothing with his own money. On the other hand, Delaware County purchased nothing with other people's money.
The moral of the story….don't be foolish and pretend there is something when it's so obvious even a child understands there are NO new clothes, NO new wind vane, NO new jobs and NO more $1.5 million.

BSC 2019: Sea Level Traverse (Sunday)
3 people attending
7 places left
Booking opens Sunday 24th March 2019 at 7:00pm.
Learn to use climbing skills to negotiate technical sections of coastline. The emphasis here is of climbing above the water and it's one of the activity highlights of Spring Camp. A short journey from the campsite takes us to nearby Anglesey where we can climb along the base of cliffs, at sea level, to create an adventurous journey. There are places where climbing is no longer possible and we'll set up our own rope bridges to get across the gaps. This is a high adrenaline activity and is essentially a dry activity, but you may get wet! The day is usually broken into two sessions so you'll have a chance to go back to the minibus (or a rucksack) to pick up food & drink.
What to bring
Helmets, harnesses and all technical equipment will be provided but you'll need to take a towel and a full change of clothes. You should wear a base layer and take a fleece if it's chilly. You'll also need a waterproof jacket. These should be made of man-made fibres such as nylon or polyester. Wear trainers or boots with good grip. Ensure you have any personal medical items with you and bring a packed lunch & drink and some money. A bin bag for your wet stuff can also be useful!
Food & drink
Bring a packed lunch!

PCB in the circuit board, it refers to the manufacture of PCB materials used, including substrate, substrate parameters, technology and so on. Mainly refers to the base plate, copper foil and adhesives made of copper clad laminate (deposited copper) quality.
PCB Material composition
The main material of PCB is the copper clad laminate (deposited copper) which is made up of base plate, copper foil and adhesive. The substrate is an insulating laminate composed of macromolecule synthetic resin and reinforced material; On the surface of the substrate is covered with a high conductivity, good weldability of pure copper foil, PCB commonly used thickness 35~50/ma; Copper foil covered on the substrate side of the CCL is called a single-sided copper clad laminate, both sides of the substrate covered copper foil CCL said double-sided CCL The copper foil can be firmly covered on the substrate, then by the adhesive to complete. The thickness of common copper clad laminate is 1. 0mm, 1. 5mm and 2. 0mm three kinds.
PCB is more and more widely used, because it has a lot of unique advantages, trichosanthes as follows: can be high-density. For decades, the high density of PCB has been developed with the improvement of integrated circuit integration and installation technology. High reliability. Through a series of inspection, PCB testing and aging tests can ensure that the PCB long-term (use, generally for 20) and reliable work. can be designed. PCB Performance (electrical, physical, chemical, mechanical, etc.) requirements, can be designed through standardization, standardization, etc. to achieve PCB design, short time, high efficiency. can be productive. PCB The use of modern management, can be standardized, scale (volume), automation and other production, to ensure consistency of product quality. Testability. Set up a relatively complete test methods, testing standards, a variety of testing equipment and instruments to detect and identify the PCB product eligibility and service life. can be assembled. PCB products are not only convenient for a variety of components standardized assembly, and can be automated, large-scale production. At the same time, PCB and various components assembly parts can also be assembled to form larger parts, systems, until the machine. Maintainability。 As PCB products and components are assembled in a standardized design and large-scale production, and therefore, these components are also standardized. Therefore, once the system fails, can quickly, easily, flexibly to replace, quickly restore service system work. Of course, there are more examples. such as the miniaturization of the system, lightweight, high-speed signal transmission and so on.
PCB classification
Single panel
Single panel (single-sided boards) on the most basic PCB, the parts are concentrated in one side, the wire is concentrated on the other side (there are SMD components and the wire for the same side, the plug-in device on the other side). Because the wire only appears in one side, PCB so this kind of PCB is called Single-sided Board (single-sided). Because the single panel in the design line has many stringent restrictions (because only one side, the wiring between the intersection and must be around the path alone), PCB so only the early circuit to use this kind of board.
Double panel
Double-sided Board (double-sided boards) This circuit board on both sides of the wiring, but to use the two sides of the wire, must be on both sides of the appropriate circuit connection before the line. The "bridge" between the circuits is called a guide hole (via). The guide hole is on the PCB, PCB fills or spreads the metal the small hole, it may connect with the two sides the conductor. Because the area of the double-sided board is larger than the single panel, the double panel solves the difficulty of wiring interleaving in Single panel (can pass through Kong to the other side), PCB it is more suitable to use in the circuit than the single panel more complex.

We get it – student life is a hectic time. You're trying to balance study, work, family, friends, and all of life's other pressures, and it can feel as though there just aren't enough hours in the day. To cut down on sleep and nab a few extra hours of productivity many students are fuelling busy schedules with energy drinks. But while this may seem like a quick and easy fix, the impacts of this sleep deprivation, combined with the long lists of potentially harmful ingredients in these drinks, can have harmful effects on your health, both in the short and long term.
The demand for energy drinks has grown significantly over the past few years, with the estimated annual sales of energy drinks and shots reaching $21.5 billion by 2017. The United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) suggests a more appropriate name for these drinks is "stimulant drink". The energy boost they provide is largely made up of caffeine, as well as huge quantities of sugar. Other common, and often unregulated, ingredients, include tyrosine and phenylalanine, which can have adverse interactions with other medication, kola nut and guarana, both of which are also sources of caffeine, and yohimbe, which can interact with anti-depressants.
Regular consumption of drinks like Red Bull and Monster can have serious effects on your health. In the short term they can be responsible for irritability, insomnia, anxiety, caffeine overdose and elevated blood pressure, and more serious long term effects can include type 2 diabetes, migraines, neurological and cardiovascular system effects, poor dental health, and obesity.
Risky business
While the use of energy drinks is widespread in universities, students' knowledge of the ingredients and potential health hazards of such drinks is generally very limited. And as energy drinks become increasingly popular on campuses (including as mixers for alcoholic drinks) it's important to note their wide ranging adverse health effects.
One of the main causes for concern is the extremely high levels of caffeine in energy drinks. Caffeine is great at revving you up, but afterwards you crash back down. It's an addictive substance that can interfere with your sleep patterns, and when it wears off it leaves you feeling weary and restless. There have even been a number of reported cases linking energy drinks and caffeine overdose to deaths.
Energy drinks can contain anywhere up to 170 milligrams of caffeine per 30 millilitre of drink, and while in the US the FDA limits the amount of caffeine in soft drinks to about 71 milligrams for a 350 millilitre can, energy drinks are usually sold as dietary supplements, in which the caffeine limit is unregulated. The limits of how much caffeine an adult can safely handle in a day ranges from 200 to 400 milligrams, and for children and adolescents ingesting over 200 milligrams can be dangerous.
Finding the cause
If you find yourself regularly relying on energy drinks, there will be an underlying reason for your fatigue. It may that you're burning the candle at both ends, or it could be that you're lacking something in your diet. Understanding the cause will help you find a way to rectify it, so that you can deal directly with the problem, rather than just it's symptoms.
Time management
If you're tired because you aren't getting enough sleep, you might be trying to cram too much into your day. Whilst finding more time in your day is easier said than done, the importance of sleep can't be underestimated, and without adequate rest you won't be performing at your best. Take some time to sit down and assess your schedule, and find ways to manage your time more effectively. This can include finding a way to spend fewer hours at work, and learning how to study more efficiently.
Nutritional deficiencies
If your tiredness is diet related, it could be due to many things, including low blood sugars, iron deficiency, or simply dehydration. If you're cramming in quick meals and snacks when you get the chance, you might not be eating a balanced diet. A quick trip to a dietitian or a naturopath will ensure that you understand what you need to be eating in order to keep your body and mind performing at their peak.
Blood sugars drop 30 to 45 minutes after a high-sugar snack, whereas they stay elevated for 3 to 4 hours after a proper meal. To avoid crashing quickly after eating, try to make your meals and your snacks as nutrient dense as possible. This means filling up on lean proteins and complex carbohydrates, which not only will have a positive impact on your overall health, but will also keep you energised for a longer period of time.
Healthier alternatives
Try to eat largely plant based meals, which are easier to digest and won't have you feeling sluggish and tired after eating them. Base your meals around vegetables, include some complex carbohydrates such as brown rice or quinoa, and add some healthy fat and protein sources like legumes, tofu, nuts, or fish.
For on the go snacks it's handy to always have a stash of nuts or trail mix on hand, so when you feel hunger pangs you have a healthy option at the ready and don't have to go running to the vending machine. Other great on the go energy boosting snacks include hummus and vegetable sticks, brown rice sushi, or fruit and nut based energy balls or bars.
The sugar rush that you'll get from soft drinks and sweets won't last long, and only contains empty calories. Fruits are a great natural source of sugar, as well as adding an assortment of vitamins, minerals, and fibre to your diet, keeping your health in check, and preventing your digestive system from getting sluggish. Fruit based breakfast smoothies (especially if you can handle throwing a few leafy greens in!) are a great way to fit a super quick and nutrient rich breakfast into even the busiest of schedules.
The power of H2O
Dehydration is one of the most common causes of fatigue, but drinking enough water is one of the easiest things to forget to do. "If we're dehydrated, a lot of our organs and vital systems are slowing down, which can make us lethargic and tired," Black says. Make sure that you have a water bottle with you at all times, which will help remind you to keep up your fluid intake, as well as saving you money on buying bottled water.
Get up and move!
Exercise is one of the best ways to get a quick energy boost. It bumps up your levels of feel-good brain chemicals, such as dopamine and serotonin, which has an enormously positive impact on your productivity. By exercising more frequently, your body gets used to a larger energy expenditure. As a result, it makes more energy freely available at all times, which enhances your mental and physical capacity.

Xiaomi, the guys behind the popular Android ROM MIUI and the extremely popular handset the Xiaomi MI1 and MI2, have announced the Red Rice, a low-budget handset in collaboration with Chinese Internet giant Tencent. Priced at around $130 this is the cheapest handset that Xiaomi have to offer.
Announced on Xiaomi's Sina Weibo account, in collaboration with Qzone (Tencent and China Mobile's own social network) the Red Rice phone was unveiled and given the price of RMB799 which is around $130. A release date of August 12 has also been announced with pre-orders and the first batch of 100,000 being made available to Qzone users before anyone else.
It's specs were also announced too with the Red Rice being home to a 4.7 inch screen with a resolution of 1280 x 720, a 1.5GHz MT6589T quad-core processor with 1GB of RAM. It runs on Android-based MIUI 5. The Red Rice also features an 8-megapixel rear camera as well as a 1.3-megapixel front-facing camera.

Assessing 2014: Shades of 2010, Expecting Higher Volatility
At this time last year, the S&P 500 was already up 9% on the year and was closely mirroring two other years which saw unrelenting advances: 1954 and 1995. The equity market would go on to maintain a high correlation with '54 and '95 throughout the year, closing out the year at new all-time highs.
At year-end, we repeatedly cautioned investors not to expect more of the same in 2014. 2013 was a highly abnormal year in many respects. Not only did the S&P 500 rally throughout the entire year without ever testing its 200-day moving average, but it also experienced this historic advance while all other major asset classes did not participate.
Thus far in 2014, investors are quickly seeing just how much of an outlier 2013 was. We have already experienced a 6% correction and with the exception of Emerging Market equities, all of the major asset classes that underperformed the S&P 500 in 2013 are outperforming this year (see table below).
Additionally, we are observing more typical intermarket behavior, with stocks and bonds moving in line with inflation expectations. If you recall, U.S. stocks ignored declining inflation expectations for most of last year, which was extremely rare in a historical context.
Looking back in history, the year that is most correlated with 2014 thus far is 2010 (see table below).
In 2010, similar to this year, after weakness in January into early February, the S&P 500 would experience a sharp rally to new year-to-date highs (see chart below). In 2010, this rally would continue until late April after which the S&P 500 would go on to suffer the "flash crash" and a 17% correction. After this correction, 2010 would end the year with a rally to new highs.
While these analogs rarely follow the same path, at the very least the comparison with 2010 is confirming our prior analysis pointing to higher volatility this year. In light of this analysis and the extended U.S. equity market gains 5 years into the Bull Market, investors should be placing a higher emphasis on risk management here. At this point in the cycle, the words of Paul Tudor Jones are particularly instructive: "Don't focus on making money; focus on protecting what you have."

Following the release of the NHS England 'Five Year Forward View', out of hospital and community-based care has been repeatedly highlighted as the main avenues our NHS should be taking to help improve the system. Mobile medical units have been proven to significantly help healthcare providers to continually achieve this goal.
Case Studies
We've been providing out of hospital and community care solutions to healthcare providers for over 10 years. By commissioning one of our flexible mobile medical units clinicians can ensure that uncompromised patient care is delivered closer to home.
Read about how our mobile medical units have helped the NHS Trusts below effectively deliver out of hospital care.
Prior to commissioning a mobile renal dialysis facility, NHS Wales' patients were travelling two hours for treatment, three times a week. The temporary unit was installed at a central hospital location to ensure patients had access to care closer to home. Lead Nurse for the mobile unit commented; "This temporary facility means that we will be able to get a local service up and running."
Now into its 5th year of operation, the award-winning Frimley Park Mobile Macular Unit travels between 4 community locations per month. The unit provides assessment and treatment services to patients in locations closer to home. 90% of patients find the mobile unit more convenient than attending the hospital.

Benefits a Business Gets When It Engages in Business Texting
Business texting is becoming a popular way in which businesses get to communicate with clients as well as a marking strategy for business. Businesses reap several benefits when they engage in business texts for first time customers as well as repeat clients. When it comes to business texts, a business can reap several benefits and some of those benefits are briefly highlighted below.
In just a matter of minutes, the intended recipients can receive the business texts from the business. The business texts are a fast form of communication compared to other forms of communication. When the message reaches the client, they are able to act on it as soon as they receive it and this makes it quite ideal.
With texts, it is also easy to send messages to specific groups of people depending on their demographics. With demographics, your marketing efforts become more intentional. intentional marketing is important because it helps you to get high returns of your investments.
Another great benefit of business texts is that it is a direct communication with clients. There being no middlemen in this form of communication, it becomes a great tool to help in opening up communication lines with clients. When such communication lines are open, it is easy to remove any distorted messages that can be received by clients when there are middlemen involved.
If you are looking to increase your new client base then texts become the ideal way in which you can easily interact with new clients. People will always look up business they do not know and it can be a great way to introduce yourself to lead clients. when the lead clients look you up, they will be aware that you exist as well as the products and services you bring to the market.
Business texts can be a great way to build rapport with your clients especially if they respond back to your texts. Such a rapport can be helpful since it can help clients give the business helpful feedback to help improve on the products and services. Working on good relationship with your clients is also important because they can easily become your brand ambassadors.
Another great benefit of text messaging is that it can be forwarded to other people when your clients or intended recipient receives them. With texts your message gets to be shared to a large group of people meaning that you are able to get a wider reach and an audience to the message you are communicating or advertising. Since you do not have to spend a lot of money when using this platform to communicate, business texts become a cost effective way of advertising.

Cairo Durham High School, NY
October 24, 2013Comment
Thank you Cairo-Durham High for welcoming Breaking The Cycle to your school. May the personal stories of forgiveness you heard today inspire you to move in a positive direction.
Take a moment and leave a comment - we'd love to hear from you.
Post a Comment
Please fill in the form below if you have any questions or wish to make a comment. We always appreciate hearing from you.
I was honored to hear you gentlemen speak today. I was inspired by all of the stories I heard today. I was wondering if Mr. Arnold could tell me what it was like to meet Martin Luther King Jr. Mr. Hashim Garret, you are the man. I thought your story and your personality were both inspirational and brilliant. I thought that Mr. Williams' story was remarkably touching to anyone who heard it. Thank you for coming to our school today. It was honestly a privilege to see you gentlemen speak. You are sure great role models of mine. Thanks again for impacting my life!B, Student Cairo-Durham HS - Cairo Durham HS
I cried so much at Charles Williams's story, but I got very interested in Mr. Garret's story.B, Student Cairo-Durham High School - Cairo Durham HS
Hello! My name is S and I am a sophomore at Cairo-Durham High School, where we just heard your assembly about an hour ago. I have to tell you - we have public speakers into CDHS more than frequently. BUT - I have never felt the emotion that I felt; and still feel; with your presentation this afternoon. To Mr. Hashim Garrett - Your story is inspirational. To learn of your life; I know NYC is a lot different than the Catskills!; and how you were effected in positive and negative ways was crazy. I cannot imagine growing up as you did, and I truly think that your story will never leave me. Thank you for coming to CD... you made us laugh, and now we know the best kind of Air Jordan's for one-year-olds! To Mr. Charles Williams - Honestly, I could not stop crying at your story. I understand that your position as a lector is not to evoke pity, but to evoke thought in others. I have been blessed with a life and family that was very different than your early life and family, but still I came home today and hugged my mom. All through your presentation, I could not stop thinking about familial relationships and regrets, death and sadness, and loss and grieving. Your emotion brought me and many of my classmates to tears. I will truly say that at a school like mine, this does not happen very often. Thank you. To Mr. Christoph Arnold - Thank you for bringing Breaking The Cycle to CDHS. It was a wonderful, uplifting assembly and I can speak for the whole student body when I say that we definitely took something away from it. Just by being in the same room with someone who has seen, talked to, assembled with Dr. Martin Luther King was SO inspiring. I look forward to reading your book. Finally, I say thanks again! I now see hate as a terrible thing - and with the help of you three, I pledge to do everything I can to cleanse myself of it. Take care, SSE, Student Cairo-Durham HS - Cairo Durham HS
Thank you so much for coming today! It was really interesting and moving to hear each of your stories. You inspired me, and others, to go forward in life with the positive attitude of forgiveness. I cannot wait to read the book! I hope to major in Human Services in college, and I will definitely carry today's lessons and stories with me to help me!TJ, Student Cairo-Durham HS - Cairo Durham HS

Kayliegh, Kayliegh Land,
Laura, My Little World,
Natasha, Natashas Wonderland.
Blush or Bronzer?
Blush, please! If I haven't put on tan, bronzer can look a bit wrong on me so I am opting for blush. It's one of those beauty products that can make you look more alive with NO effort whatsoever!
Lipgloss or Lipstick?
Lipstick. Every time. I have a newfound love for lipstick, with my collection having grown exponentially since February.
Eyeliner or Mascara?
Mascara. Without it, my lashes are invisible to the human eye!!

Neutral or Colour Eyeshadow?
Neutral, without a doubt! I adore neutral shadows and own at least half a dozen neutral palettes from all price ranges!
Pressed or loose eyeshadow?
Pressed, but only because I'm messy enough as it is without the risky business that comes with loose pigments!
OPI or China Glaze?
I don't think I can chose, but OPI edge in front just a small bit for their Nail Envy offering!
Long or Short Nails?
Long. Although my idea of long may not be your idea of it!
Acrylic or Natural?
Natural. Ever since I stopped biting them early this year, I am so proud of my natural nails!
Bright or Dark?
Dark. The 16 year old rocker in me still lusts after glossy black talons!
Flower or no flower?
No flower. Yes, I'm a boring aul fart! :P

I'm partial to a pair of flippy floppies but only in the sauna...
Scarves or hats?

Studs or dangly earrings?
Studs. Not that my lobe piercings ever get either.
Necklaces or Bracelets?
Both! Especially the bracelet Chris gave me that he had blessed in Calcutta, and my grandmothers Amethyst sphere in an eagle claw.
Jackets or Hoodies?
Hoodies every time. I put them with everything.
Curly or Straight?
Either looks decent on me though curls are more fun!
Bun or ponytail?
Ask me in a year! My hair is not long enough for either really...
Bobby Pins or Butterfly Clips?
Bobby pins – though I lose them all within a week...
Hair Spray or Hair Gel?
Hair spray.
Long or Short hair?
Long. I'm currently growing out a super short hair cut and growing more impatient by the day...
Light or dark?
Side sweep or Full on bangs (fringe)?
Side swept...
Up or Down?
Either, or. I'm not pushed.
Rain or Shine?
Shine. I love rain but sunny weather is so much better for the soul.
Summer or Winter?
Winter, all everything that goes with it.
Autumn or Spring?
Spring, though Autumn does mean sweater weather...
Chocolate or Vanilla?
Vanilla... YUM!

Try a Super Saturday auto care special at Twin Tire and Auto Care.
Saturdays are the day of the week to celebrate. No work and fun things to do like the Treme Creole Gumbo Festival. Brass bands and gumbo: What could be better except taking advantage of a Super Saturday special at Twin Tire and Auto Care? The specials, available through Jan. 30, are only on Saturdays. They're to celebrate the decision to open all three Twin Tire locations on Saturdays.
One special is an oil change with up to five quarts of oil and a new filter for only $19.95. See our coupon for details. That's an especially good deal because, as cars.com explains, "oil plays a vital, multifaceted role in your engine, and spending a little money on routine oil changes can help prevent you from forking over large sums of cash down the road."
Cars.com adds, "Engine oil provides three key functions in a modern internal combustion engine. First of all, it helps keep engine components working smoothly together. Secondly, the inside of an engine, a place where there are thousands of controlled detonations happening every minute, can be a hot place, and oil helps draw heat away from the combustion chamber. Lastly, it helps prevent carbon and varnishes from accumulating in the engine."
Twin Tire has been New Orleans' primo auto care and auto repair shop since 1973. Twin Tire has three locations - Marrero, Hammond and Harvey - to service cars and light trucks. We service heavy commercial vehicles at our Harahan location.
