The year is 1915 when sixteen-year-old Eliza Williams arrives at the Billings School for Girls in Easton, Connecticut. Her parents expect her to learn the qualites of a graceful, dutiful wife. But Eliza and her housemates have a dangerous secret: They're witches. After finding a dusty, leather bound spell book, the Billings Girls form a secret coven. Bonded in sisterhood, they cast spells--cursing their headmistress with laryngitis, brewing potions to bolster their courage before dances, and conjuring beautiful dresses out of old rags. The girls taste freedom and power for the first time, but what starts out as innocent fun turns sinister when one of the spells has an unexpected-and deadly-consequence. Magic could bring Eliza everything she's ever wanted...but it could also destroy everything she holds dear.

If you're someone who is the breadwinner in your family, the idea that your spouse wants a divorce may leave a bad taste in your mouth. You know that alimony could be a request they make, even though they've already relied on you to pay the bills for some time.
Is medical support included in child support in Ohio?
Ohio has many child support regulations but one that you should be aware of is the requirement to provide medical support to your child. Like regular child support, medical support is also required so that a child can have their medical needs to be covered. If insurance does not cover the medical needs of the child, then the obligor may have to pay a set amount toward the medical bills the child has accrued.
Ways for Ohio spouses to keep stress low in divorce
Determining that your marriage is no longer sustainable may be one of the most significant and emotional experiences of your lifetime. Especially if you and your spouse have been together for many years or if you have children, such situations can be both liberating and devastating at the same time.
Mediation could be the answer to your divorce dilemmas
Divorce mediation has an important place in the world of divorce. Divorces sometimes come off as negative, vicious situations where two people devolve into angry, unhappy individuals ready to spite the other at any opportunity. The reality is that divorces like that are few and far between.
Quick action can prevent an international child abduction
A parent's worst nightmare is not being able to see their child due to the other parent kidnapping them. Sadly, this is a reality for many parents in America and abroad. Parental abduction, particularly international abduction, is a difficult problem to deal with. It involves at least two governments, if not more, and it can be very difficult to bring a child home.
Yes, you should be talking about college during your divorce
Like most other parents in Ohio, you want your child to get a good education. However, tuition rates seem to go up year after year, and with a divorce under your belt, will you be able to help them get the education they need? If you plan for it, you probably still can.

One reason we wanted to stay in the area for the first part of January was to see some of the films presented at the Palm Springs International Film Festival. Now, we're not what we would call "film festival" people nor "foreign film" people, but we wanted to give it a try.
It's a log process to get tickets (which you can read about online if you're interested in going next year), but basically we purchased a package of 6-tickets and save a few bucks (which gave us three films to go to together), then added one more film we liked. The films range from documentaries to serious drama to comedy to gay/lesbian issues to almost anything. We tried to keep to lighthearted films, those we did not think we could later find on DVD, and those which, obviously, interested us. We also decided to just see a few films, since in case we didn't like the experience, we weren't committed to many films (thus less time and money wasted).
So here is our experience in a nutshell – really, really enjoyed it! We enjoyed the films, enjoyed chatting with people in line about what they've seen/will see, enjoyed the aspect that in three of our four films either the director(s) or actor(s) were there for a question/answer session after, and enjoyed the exposure to something we've never considered before. In fact, we talked about if we were in this area next year we'd see more films – perhaps even come just for the festival (or find international film festivals as we travel). We were surprised by the number of films people saw in just one week – many people saw 2, 3, even 4 films a day! We saw one film a day, expect one day we did see two films, which worked out just fine.
So all-in-all, a great experience and one we recommend to anyone in the Palm Springs area next January.
In case you're interested, we saw:
- SuperClasico – A Danish comedy about a man who follows his estranged wife to Argentina. We really enjoyed this film and it was quite funny.
- Café de Flore – A French Canadian drama about two love stories that intertwine – one set in current-day Montreal and one set in 1960's France. This film was good.
- First Position – A US documentary about ballet dancers as they prepare for the prestigious Youth America Grand Prix competition. This was excellent!
- Happy, Happy – A Norwegian comedy about two neighboring families in northern Norway. This was good, although much of the comedy escaped us.

GA Liberty Bell
The 2,000 pound bronze bell in front of the Glynn Academy Building is a near replica of the Liberty Bell in Independence Hall, Philadelphia. It was cast in 1897 by McShane Foundry in Baltimore, Maryland and was used in the clock tower of Brunswick City Hall until the 1930s. The Glynn Academy Student Council of 1968-1969 is credited with finding, assembling, and installing the bell on campus.
Visions of the Deep South typically include images of vast plantations dominated by stately columns, moss draped live oaks surrounded by an elegant almost waltz-like genteel culture. They rarely involve a historically important example of a successful early American educational experiment. So it often comes as a surprise to both locals and visitors alike that Brunswick's Glynn Academy is not only one of the oldest, publicly funded coeducational systems in the United States, it began life as part of a revolutionary educational experiment.
Glynn Academy Crest
The story of this amazing school begins just seven months after the signing of the Declaration of Independence, when in February of 1777 the framers of Georgia's first Constitution conceived of an innovative system of public schools for the future state. Rather than attendance being based on religion, wealth or class, as was the tradition throughout most of the colonies, the Georgia system would instead use money collected from land rental to support a free educational program for all of its citizens. Further, it provided that each county was to have its own Academy where both boys and girls would be taught through college preparatory grades. So, following an Act of the General Assembly in 1788, Glynn Academy was born.
Like the city of Brunswick, this innovative educational experiment struggled during its early years, waxing and waning through periodic cycles of boom and bust. From an original site that has been lost to history to a location on Reynolds Street, abandoned during the panic of 1823, to a multi-columned white clapboard structure built on Hillsbourgh Square in 1840, to its present sprawling campus in Old Town Brunswick, the name Glynn Academy has been synonymous with public education in South Georgia.

1840 Glynn Academy
Built in 1840 and now the oldest wooden schoolhouse in Georgia, the Old Glynn Academy Building was the first building on Hillsborough Square, at the campus' present location. For more than fifty years, this building served as the only public school building in Brunswick and was also used as a public hall for Superior Court sessions for many years.

1889 Glynn Academy
Commissioned by the Glynn County school board and designed by Alfred S. Eichberg, the Annex was built in 1889 to replace the old wooden structure. After the main Glynn Academy school building was erected in 1923, the Annex lay virtually dormant until 1938 when it was refurbished to ease student overcrowding. On August 19, 2005, the Annex Building was severely damaged by lightning, but has since been remodeled.

1909 Glynn Academy Prep Building
The Prep Building, erected in 1909, is the second-oldest building at the school and may be the most recognizable building on campus. It was originally constructed as a junior high to serve as a bridge between elementary and high school and was later annexed to Glynn Academy.

1923 Glynn Academy
The present Glynn Academy building is considered to be one of the most beautiful school buildings in Georgia. Designed by Savannah Architect Henrik Wallin after the Library at Louvain, Belgium and constructed by Georgia's West point iron works, Memorial Hall stands as a tribute to the local veterans of World War I. A marble plaque listing the names of Brunswick soldiers who lost their lives during the war was installed at the top of the staircase in 1924 by the local chapter of the DAR.
Other schools in the new state were not as fortunate as Glynn Academy. Georgia's new Constitution of 1789, returning to the more traditional view of the times, did not recognize public education as a duty of the state. Accordingly, funding was provided only for certified paupers in separate "poor schools." Glynn Academy, on the other hand, continued to operate under the earlier 1777 public funding concept. Glynn Academy is not only the sixth oldest public school in the United States, but is likely the only school in the state that has continuously provided a publicly funded, coeducational system throughout its entire history.
However, as important as Glynn Academy is to Georgia's unique educational history, interviews with former students demonstrate that the school holds more significance than just a collection of interesting old buildings.
To many former students, Glynn Academy represents an important cultural anchor that not only defines a community but also links together multiple generations of families. Richard Krauss (Class of 1936) for instance, proudly points to five generations of his family attending Glynn Academy; beginning with his great uncle, Daniel Webster Krauss in 1888. Albert Fendig (Class of 1948) traces his association with Glynn Academy all the way back to 1789, when his great, great, great, great-grandfather, Major Samuel Wright was appointed a "commissioner" of Glynn Academy, while Gloria Ramsaur (Class of 1957) proudly displays her father's framed 1923 graduation diploma in her home.

No matter when they attended, everyone spoke of going to Glynn Academy as one of the great milestones in their life. It was a time when they first began to explore the real world on their own terms. More than just a cluster of historic old buildings dispensing a sound preparatory education, Glynn Academy was also a crucible where adolescent fantasy expectations were melded into adult real-world experiences.
The academy was the place where the joy of acceptance was mixed with the pain of rejection. When the anticipation of being asked was offset by the fear of not being asked. It was a time in young people's lives of unbridled happiness and unbearable heartbreak, both laughter with friends and crying alone. There were dances, kisses and embraces. Memories of fast dancing and racing hearts; slow dancing and racing hormones. For the lucky ones, it's where they found their first true love. Sadly, for others, it was also a place that held dark memories, where some experienced the tragic death of a friend.
All spoke of a time where lasting memories were born and stories became immortal. There are many recollections of that special teacher who took the time to turn a young life around or point a floundering student in the right direction. Many can recall "the big game," a particular score, a kick, a pass, a basket, or a putt that will never be forgotten.
Albert Fendig shared an account his family tells of an early Glynn Academy football game. It seems, Albert's father, along with a few other 1923 students decided to resurrect a dormant Glynn Academy football team. According to the story, "They were not very good." In one game with Savannah rival, Benedictine, they were being beaten so badly that, as Glynn Academy players "got knocked out of the game," they were secretly replaced with sailors from a visiting U.S. Navy Destroyer that happened to be in port. They still lost, but the story lives on. Twenty-five years later in 1948, descendants of that resurrected (and badly beaten) Glynn Academy football team not only beat Benedictine 21-13, but went on to have the first undefeated football season in the school's history, winning college scholarships for the whole starting team. 1948 running back Albert Fendig – perhaps due in some very small part to those visiting sailors back in 1923 – attended the U.S. Naval Academy on a football scholarship.

Terror Pride1
Something that has remained constant throughout the years at Glynn Academy is a strong sense of school spirit. Here are some current students showing their Terror Pride.
Because Glynn Academy was able to attract and keep highly qualified teachers for long periods of time, a common memory was shared by many former students of a teacher who, on the first day of class, began with a variation of the terrifying words: "I taught your father. He studied hard and I expect the same out of you!" Then, after a good laugh and a quiet reflective sigh, the former student recounting the tale would often say: "You know, I am what I am today because of that teacher."
Though the specific name of that teacher often changed, the special sense of a loving lifetime debt owed for his or her effort remained constant. When Miss Jane Macon retired from Glynn Academy after almost 50 years of teaching, her former students used their own funds to give her a trip to England to see her beloved Globe Theater. A decade later, Miss Lula Howard's former Latin students did the same thing; presenting her with a sizable check and a trip to Rome. Far from being isolated incidents, it turns out that much earlier in 1928, funds donated by former Glynn Academy students paid for the building of a whole new gymnasium at the school.
Today, with more than 1700 students using nine buildings, Glynn Academy looks more like a small college campus than a traditional city high school and has clearly become much more than just a successful historic Georgia school. It has had significant consequences far beyond its original intent. Through the years, Glynn Academy has come to represent an unbroken thread of immense local cultural importance which was conceived while liberty was but a hopeful colonial dream yet to be sanctified through the blood of war and chartered a full year before George Washington was inaugurated as the President of the United States.
For more than 225 years, through every cause and crisis from the American Revolution to Afghanistan, that innovative colonial experiment in public education that became Glynn Academy has been there, contributing its blood when asked and sharing its resources when needed.
George Washington may be long gone, but Glynn Academy still stands … a silent witness to our history and, as her alma mater says: "Glorious to our view."

A former Banchory lad turned inventor has become a success on a new TV show.
Airline pilot Mike Channon secured the support of three large retailers with his product 'TabletHookz' on Channel 4 series – 'Buy It Now' hosted by Brian Conley.
Mike (44), who attended both Banchory Primary School and the academy, now lives in from Derbyshire and had just 90 seconds to pitch his product to an audience of 100 shoppers.
If the audience like a product they turn their light green to show their interest to buy.
Following a round of questions and answers Mike had several green lights and went on to face the retailers on the show.
He told us: "The idea behind TabletHookz came about when going on our first family holiday. A lot of airlines no longer have in-flight entertainment on short or medium haul flights, so we'd taken iPads to keep the kids entertained on the flight.
"The problem was they didn't want to hold their iPads and there just isn't that much room with the trays down - there had to be a way I could mount their iPads to the back of the seat in-front without the need for the tray to be down".
Mike said: "Brian asked the question of each retailer 'Do you want to place an order for Mike's TabletHookz ?' – it seemed like a very long pause before the first retailer, Zak from PrezzyBox.com went green placing an order for 200 units.
"I was so happy to have secured a retailer and then it was on to Nina from Clas Ohlson, another long pause and then another green light for 500 units this time.
"At this point I was trying not to smile like a Cheshire cat and remain calm - I was over the moon, and thinking it couldn't get much better.
"Then Ken from JML hit the green and placed an initial order for 1,000 units saying he wants to get serious volume going and get the product into bricks and mortar retailers."
The audience and retailers placed combined orders with a retail value of £34,183 – which Mike is happy to admit is not bad for a 90-second pitch.
He continued: "It was a great way to launch our product after a very humble crowdfunding start, which failed first time around. We're now selling lots and getting enquires from airlines too with an interest in selling the product on-board. It seems the sky may not be the limit!"

How Do I Move Pets During the Summer?
May 7th, 2012 5:17 pm by admin
Moving pets during the summer can pose a challenge because of the hotter temperatures. It is so important to take the time to educate yourself about your options. Whether you are hiring someone to transport your pet or you are doing it yourself, you need to be aware of potential travel restrictions because of the heat. This is especially important if you have chosen to fly your pet. If your pet is too big to travel in the passenger compartment, they will have to travel in the bulk head. Because of this, there are restrictions on traveling during certain temperatures.
If you are traveling by car, take care not to leave your pet in the car during extreme heat. Make sure to pack water containers so that you can make sure they stay hydrated during the journey.
Before you move, make sure to consult your vet. You not only want to assess the travel readiness of your pet but you also will need to get copies of vaccinations and health assessments. While at this appointment you want to make sure you have medication refilled and vaccinations current. This will ensure that you have all of your paperwork and are prepared for you pet's journey. For further information, see this great list of tips put together by your professionals at HIghland.

Last July after the 'Batman' killings I wrote the blog below. Most of what I wrote is still relevant although fortunately Obama was re-elected instead of a total fruitcake.
However, the killing fields just get worse. Sandy Hook just features as a minor upward blip in the statistics. But surely even in the US of A they can feel the terrible, terrible way in which youngsters have been killed and their families blighted. Since then more than 600 more people have been slain by guns in the 'Land of the Free'. The response from the totally insane NRA leadership is predictably more guns. They claim that the only thing that will stop bad people killing is to give good people guns,. WRONG the only way to stop the senseless slaughter of innocents is a ban on guns. Let's face some facts:
Allowing for the size of the population you are 50 times more likely to be murdered by guns in America than in the UK. You are 70 times more likely to die of suicide or accident in America than in the UK. Our rates are low because few of us keep a gun. Those that do are carefully controlled and usually know how to use them which minimises accidents.
This reminds me of a conversation I had with an American in Senegal recently. He was a worker for a Republican foundation helping bring democracy to Africa. "Shouldn't you start in Florida?" I asked! He didn't really understand the point!
America is now is the position that we were in 40 years ago. Then we still thought that we were a world power – they still do. But the times have moved on. America can no longer be the gun toting saviours of the World. If they want to be respected they will have to lead by example and practice what they preach. A country where the right to basic health is denied, a country which casually accepts slaughter on its streets in the name of Freedom is no partner of the UK and is no fitting example to the World.
God help America
Let me be about upfront about this. I have never believed that there exists a 'special relationship' with America. I know many American people, have visited their country on several occasions and have American friends. But one can only question their claim to be the "Land of the brave and the home of the free", when they come close to electing buffoons like Mitt Romney.
So what does Mr Romney think of our Country? We are, apparently, a small island with small houses that doesn't make things that people want! Well partly true! We are not huge in size and some of us do live in terraced houses because we fit a lot of people onto our land mass but what a dismissal of the Worlds 7th or 8th largest economy.
He came to London yesterday and showed no comprehension of how we govern ourselves, what our values were and questioned our preparedness for running the Olympics. We can ask questions about how the Olympics are going but it just is not the sort of thing that a guest muses publicly! What was this Mr Leader stuff – does he think we are a soviet republic?
It would be risible if Romney wasn't the latest in a line of Republican half wits. Sarah Plain knew all about Russia because she could see it from her home in Alaska and thought Africa was a Country. George Bush Junior only got elected because his brother had effectively rigged the electoral register to preclude many Democrat voters from voting at all.
And the face of America that we see is a very low grade culture indeed. Crap TV programmes and 'food like McDonalds' and KFC' which is leading to massive obesity problems first in America and now in other parts of the world.
It doesn't need to be this way. I stayed awake the night that Obama got elected. I thrilled as he strode out into that Chicago Park to receive the cheers as the first black man elected in America. I thought, and still think, that under his leadership America really could lead the World, starting with his own country, towards a more rational foreign intervention policy of aid and support and not war and death.
But even more since he did get elected I have wondered whether America really can be changed or should just be ignored. I ask myself how a Country which claims to be Christian can have massive debates about whether poor people should be entitled to decent health facilities. I know we have our differences of opinion here but no-one disputes the fact that the Government should provide free first time service to anyone of our citizens who needs it.
Last week we saw the biggest possible difference between our two countries in the response to the shooting tragedy at the cinema showing the latest Batman film. More people bought guns after the shooting than before. The fact is that you are 100 times more likely to get killed by a gun in America than you are in the UK. Other murder rates are also considerably higher than our own. We had two shooting tragedies and tightened the gun ownership laws they have loads of tragedies every day and loosen theirs.
This example alone shows a very different mind set between Americans and our European partners.
My fervent hope is that Obama wins again in November. The thought of a prejudiced bigot becoming the Leader of a Country which claims a common heritage to our own is quite repugnant. If there is a bridge across the Atlantic between the UK and America I hope it is a drawbridge. Because if Romney wins I fervently hope that we will draw it up and cut them off!

The Anderson County Sheriff's Department has announced that its spring Church Safety & Security Seminar will be held from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. ĀSaturday, April 14, Covenant Life Church,Ā151 Sycamore Place, Norris, according to a news release.
The Anderson County Sheriff's Department Crime Prevention Unit has been busy assisting area churches with violence prevention strategies following the killing of 26 members of First Baptist Church on Nov. 5 in Sutherland Springs, Texas. Since that date, Deputy David Massengill has met with members from nearly 30 area churches providing them with the latest information and recommendations for protecting their congregations.
The Sheriff's Department has announced that its spring Church Safety & Security Seminar will be held from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, April 14, Covenant Life Church, 151 Sycamore Place, Norris, according to a news release. Covenant Life Church is located at the corner of Norris Freeway and Andersonvile Highway.
Attendance is free. Advance registration is requested. Register at the following link. You may also register your entire church group at this link.
Completely revised and updated this seminar will address the topic of violent attacks on faith-based property in America and what you can do to prevent them or to mitigate injury. Emphasis will be placed upon how to effectively detect threats, pre-attack indicators and developing attacks; and how to use time and resources to stop an attack. Instructors will provide information on immediate life-saving care for victims and tell you what you need to have on hand at your house of worship.
"Technology use can give you the edge in enhancing safety and an expert in the field will discuss how you can utilize this valuable tool," the Sheriff's Department release stated.
"Whether you have an existing safety or security operation, or are just beginning, this seminar is for you. Pastors, decision-makers, safety-team members, and other interested persons from your church should attend. Watch for additional information and updates," the release stated.
For additional information, contact Massengill at (865) 457-6255, extension 150, or by email at email@example.com.

So this is it, this year's tournament is finally over and the end of it wasn't the high class game one would expect for a final of a competition. Well, at least the neutral spectator would expect a slightly closer competiton. But this is high school baseball, things like this happen. I wonder if this was the highest scoring win in the final in Koushien history.
Tokoha Kikugawa (Shizuoka) vs Osaka Toin 大阪桐蔭 (North Osaka) 0-17
When a team starts of a game with a grand slam homerun I guess that's when commentators start to talk about them having the momentum. Osaka Toin did just that and they never let go of the lead over the course of this matchup. 4 runs in the 1st, one in the 3rd, another one in the 5th, 6 runs in the 6th, 2 in the 7th and another 3 runs in the 9th, that makes it 17 runs in this game. That's too much even for a Team like Tokoha Kikugawa who seemed to have found their groove over the past few games hammering out at least one big inning in their last three starts. The new champions were rolling through the tournament pretty well scoring tons of runs in each of their games. From what I've read their approach to high school baseball slightly differs from the small ball played by other schools. Osaka Toin slugged their way to the title and their ace pitcher Fukushima was able to control the opposing batters for most of the time and in the final he limited Tokoha to just 5 hits. 大阪桐蔭おめでとう!

What a week!
Honestly, this was a pretty poor week of running. Well, I put in solid work, but none of it felt particularly good. Part of this is probably due to my running 89 miles this week in only the third week after my down time and dietary debauchery. Part of it is also probably due to traveling 12 hours in 2 days on the train, and part of it is probably due to a crap double on Thursday. I'd gone out for 12 at my favorite trail of all time: Castlewood State Park. Instead my run was marred by mud, debris, and fallen trees from a storm the night before, so I cut the run short and decided to do a 4/8 double. Which was of course ruined in the evening when a thunderstorm broke out midway through my run. Yeah.
The highlight of the last 7 days was easily my trip to Chicago. A few months ago, Brown xc alum Skip Friedlander posted a notification that he was selling his season tickets to Cubs games. My Great Aunt Linnie, her son, Delbert, and his family live in Chicago. While I didn't see him that frequently growing up, I'd always looked up to Del when I was a kid, so when the opportunity to find an excuse to start filling the same role for his two-year-old son arose unexpectedly, I jumped at it. While it required me to wake up before 5 am to put in 4 miles before a 6-hour train ride (and while we ended up taking my 8-year old cousin John because Delbert's wife, Regina, thought Kingston would be too energetic to sit still for a game), seeing my Chicago family and getting to play the role of cool older cousin was awesome. I got to be part of John's first professional sports game and his first ride on the el (although though he did try and tell my sister and Aunt the "Tostitos Story" after I'd told it at the game); I got to build the connection and love my sister and I have with our family in Chicago, and I had a beautiful 15-miler alongside lake Michigan on which I threw in some cool sub-6 miles on my way home. As sappy as it sounds, all these things mean the most.
As for workouts… this Sunday I was supposed to do the same tempo run I'd done on Tuesday–5 miles at 5:05 pace. The thing is, not only did I have a family barbecue planned for Saturday, but I already had plans to hit the club on Saturday night with the boys. Sorry Ray, but I had no choice but to do the workout a day early on short (still 3 days) rest.
Unfortunately, this tempo was a solo effort in every sense of the phrase. Besides the groundskeeper and some old white lady out for a fitness walk, I had nobody to keep me company through 5 miles of 76s on the Ladue track (it also means I have no workout photos). Fortunately, the weather was a bit less oppressive than the week before, so I didn't feel complete crap from the beginning, but the effort still didn't feel especially great. Because of the aforementioned forest/storm related incident causing me to postpone it, this was the day after a 12-miler as well. For those of you interested, splits were:
5:04.96, 5:03.33, 5:03.58, 5:06.38, 5:05.09 for a total time of 25:23.34.
No need to fret about that 5:06. I thought I deserved an easy mile after the first few were fast, so I tried to throw in a few 78s on the 4th. HR was still kind of high (~160) at the end. I think it'll get substantially easier when it's not so hot.
After the workout, I wanted some soft-surface running, so drove a mile to my High School (our track is under construction) to grab a cooldown on the back fields. I mention that because our back fields look like this:
After the workout, Saturday was awesome. My Cousin, Godcousin, Grandmother, and my boys David Lambus and Chris Floyd all came to our house for food and funk music. We ate and danced and swam (yeah, I have a pool). A lot of people drank; some people drank a lot. Everyone had a good time. I also got a sweet bracelet from Chris, who makes them as a hobby, that allows me to rep both my schools simultaneously.
At night, we met up with my friend Mark (you'll hear awesome news about him later), his friend Diane (a former Arkansas All-American on the track), and a few other people for Karaoke. I've been told our rendition of Kool and the Gang's "Ladies Night" was less than impressive, so once we'd adequately embarrassed ourselves, we went to the grove (an area with a lot of bars and clubs in St. Louis) for St. Louis's World Naked Bike Ride afterparty. Alas, my days of running around naked in public are over, as we missed the main event, but I always have a good time going out with the boys in Saint Louis.
Anyway, I've finally made it back home from Chicago to prepare for my wisdom teeth removal tomorrow. I'm still finding joy in my running every day-even 15 milers and 4 am runs haven't made me hesitate when walking out the door. While I'm looking forward to having a couple drugged-up days off, I'm in a good place with my training, having fun, and ready to hit the roads for some race money.
Stay tuned for big sponsorship updates, wisdom teeth madness, and my recent decision to become a Celtics fan. Sullinger is my boiiii. (Note: I have recently been informed by three people that Sullinger no longer plays for the Celtics. Jae Crowder is my new boiiiii #locs)
Until next time,

I did not want an iphone (friends and hubby have one so am familiar) and really wanted a black berry torch till I started reading the reviews.So decided to try a samsung captivate. I am pretty tech savvy but just got this and am a little over whelmed. Way too much going on. Got to turn some of this stuff off. Also cannot get it hook up with usb to my computer- well did it once - then never again. Many more questions than answers.

Growth of Future Generations
ITOCHU Foundation
ITOCHU has promoted social contribution activities aiming for the sound development of young people since setting up the ITOCHU Foundation (which became a public interest incorporated foundation in 2012) in 1974. The foundation engages in activities for contributing to the healthy growth of children, such as two current major projects: subsidizing development of children's literature collections, and promoting development of an e-book library.
- ITOCHU Foundation (Japanese only)
Project for Subsidizing the Development of Children's Literature Collections
Since 1975, ITOCHU has been supporting private organizations and individuals who are engaged in grassroots activities for encouraging local children to read books. We have to date provided subsidies of approx. 1.1 billion yen to a total of 2,255 children's literature collections and other recipients (including overseas recipients) while boosting the project, for instance by adding a program for donating sets of books and a program for reading support for children in hospital facilities, very much in response to the changing times.
In FY2018, we provided the subsidies shown in the following table. In March 2018, a presentation ceremony for FY2018 Project for Subsidizing the Development of Children's Literature Collections was held with the participation of approx. 130 people working in children's reading and representatives from foundations, including recipients of purchase subsidies and recipients of the award for distinguished service to children's literature collections.
|Number of Subsidies (FY2018)
|Children's book purchase subsidies
38 (of which, 2 overseas)
|Reading support and purchase cost subsidies for children in hospital facilities
|100 Children's Books Subsidies

- Please refer to this page for supporting 8 schools in the areas affected by the Great East Japan Earthquake through the 100 Children's Books Grant Conducted with Shareholders.
Project for Promotion of E-book Libraries
Editing and distribution of Multimedia Daisy books
The Multimedia Daisy book is an international standard for digital books. Books of this standard incorporate diverse measures that are developed specifically for people who have difficulty reading due to disabilities or other factors. The books can be browsed on PCs and tablet terminals. ITOCHU Foundation edits picture books and children's books into Multimedia Daisy books and donates them to special schools and public libraries all over Japan. It has so far digitalized 422 titles and sent the books to a total of 6,679 locations.
|Number of titles produced
74 titles
422 titles
1,231 locations
6,679 locations
- Total since FY2012
ITOCHU Foundation produced digital books with the cooperation of 69 organizations and individuals including 15 publishing companies in 2017. The Foundation asked members of the National Network of Volunteer Readers for the Blind and the Jungle Bell Theater for voice translation. 40 volunteers who participated in barrier-free reading workshops took charge of proofreading. The Foundation completed the books with the devotion of many people once again this year.
ITOCHU Foundation also asked mainly prefectural libraries to cooperate in Nihon Mukashi-banashi no Tabi, its project for digitizing local old tales through joint efforts, and digitized the following 11 old tales rooted in respective regions with the cooperation of many individuals, including members of art clubs at senior high schools, picture-card storytelling groups and voice translation organizations in respective prefectures. With their digitization, the number of prefectures covered by the project rose to 31.
- Nezumi no Sumotori (Yamagata Prefecture)
- Kasegime (Tokyo)
- Miruna no Kura (Niigata Prefecture)
- Kamo no Hikkoshi (Nagano Prefecture)
- Utsunoya Toge no Ju Dango (Shizuoka Prefecture)
- Kashiki Choja (Aichi Prefecture)
- Miidera no Kane (Shiga Prefecture)
- Kobutori Jijii (Shimane Prefecture)
- Sumiyaki Kogoro to Tamatsuhime (Oita Prefecture)
- Umisachihiko to Yamasachihiko (Miyazaki Prefecture)
- Kagoshima (Kagoshima Prefecture)
Barrier-free reading workshops
ITOCHU holds barrier-free reading workshops so that people can learn how to provide the joy of reading for children with disabilities. These workshops are held mainly for school personnel, librarians, and medical personnel to give them opportunities to learn the causes of reading difficulties, together with effective media and support methods for overcoming the difficulty.
In FY2018, ITOCHU Foundation sponsored eight barrier-free reading workshops at locations such as Tokyo, Ibaraki, Ishikawa and Oita. Participants in those workshops totaled 503.
"Mottainai Grandma" Story-telling Caravan for Awareness-raising of Children in India!
ITOCHU Corporation and ITOCHU India Pvt. Ltd. are jointly running the story-telling caravan of the popular picture book in Japan "Mottainai Grandma" (Hindi and English versions) at public schools in Delhi and outlying Haryana in association with Kodansha Ltd., the book's publisher.
By promoting and popularizing this educational Japanese picture book, which does not exist in India, ITOCHU will aim to improve environmental and hygiene issues that are emerging as serious problems in India. In 2016, this project was selected for a Feasibility Survey for SDGs Business by the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA). With the cooperation of the JICA Evaluation Department, an impact evaluation to verify the project's impact on development is being simultaneously undertaken.
The caravan also matches the objective of "sound and healthy development of young people" of ITOCHU Foundation (established in 1974), which has continued to engage in promoting reading activities for more than 40 years, and is expected to enlighten children in environments without sufficient access to picture books about the joys of reading.
Running of Eco Shop Pavilion in KidZania Tokyo
Since April 2012, ITOCHU has run its Eco Shop environmental pavilion in KidZania Tokyo, a facility for children to experience diverse types of work.
In FY2018, ITOCHU renewed its pavilion to reflect the theme of Amazonian ecosystem conservation as part of its promotion of a project to support returning Amazonian manatees to the wild (the Manatee Homecoming Project). The pavilion provides the opportunity for children to experience creating their own eco-friendly goods such as reusable bottles and recycled soaps, and experience eco activities while learning about environmental conservation from a more global perspective. For each child who participates, 10 yen is donated to Brazil to cover the costs of milk for Amazonian manatees, and based on the number of visiting children in FY2018, an amount equivalent to 968 days of milk for one Amazonian manatee was donated.
In March 2018, ITOCHU sponsored the 5th Junior Challenge Japan event organized by KidZania Tokyo for junior high school students. Under the theme of "Social," ITOCHU offered "Support Reconstruction through Work at a Trading Company," a program to encourage junior high school students who will lead the future generation to think about reconstruction assistance. During the program, ITOCHU employees served as volunteer presenters and highlighted some of the efforts ITOCHU is making to provide reconstruction assistance to the Tohoku region and support sales under the Takata no Yume Project utilizing the network established by ITOCHU Food Sales and Marketing. Eighty-two junior high school students who took part got to actually eat the Takata no Yume rice. Participating students also developed Takata no Yume PR materials, created carded messages of encouragement for Rikuzen-Takata, and thought about the recovery of the disaster-affected areas.
At KidZania Tokyo, a popular venue for children, we will continue to provide them with opportunities to enjoy learning environmental preservation from a global perspective, offer a range of events for children, and help develop young people who will be leaders of sustainable society.
"Kokkyo naki Kodomotachi" ("KnK"; meaning "Children without Borders") support Activities at the "House for Youth," a home that helps young people become independent
Since 2007, ITOCHU has been supporting the "Wakamono-no-Ie (meaning House for Youth)," a home that helps young people become independent, located on the outskirts of Manila. Support was provided via Kokkyo naki Kodomotachi (KnK: meaning "children without borders"), an authorized Japanese NPO that supports street children, children who are victims of major disasters, and other children in developing countries.
In the Philippines, an economic crisis triggered unbalanced economic growth, which hindered the balance of income distribution. Many children from underprivileged families suffer from abuse and neglect. Such serious problems have forced them to become street children, work for a living, steal, and/or engage in delinquency or acts that violate the law. Under such background, KnK's House for Youth serves as a shelter for children. The House for Youth provides protection for children exposed to danger and youngsters violating the law and supports their lives and education. It provides comprehensive support such as healthy environment and education, meals, mental care and job training, allowing the children to maintain their dignity and become independent citizens. Additionally, the shelter provides educational activities for children, young people and parents in the communities from which the children come to prevent abuse, neglect and crime, and to raise awareness.
ITOCHU's Support
Endorsing KnK's activities, ITOCHU Corporation started to support KnK for the reconstruction of the aging House for Youth building in 2007. In December 2009, the new building was completed and the House for Youth was reopened. ITOCHU also provided support when House for Youth was again renovated in 2012 into a job training facility that helps children achieve independence. In 2013, the underground floor and the roof of the house were renovated, enabling the facility to provide more job training courses, which allows more young people to acquire practical skills.
Since FY2016, ITOCHU has been once again providing financial support related to the operation of the House for Youth (4.5 million yen for three years). The funds are used to provide education, meals, mental health care, job training, and other necessities so as to restore the dignity of children in the House for Youth and help them grow into adults who can contribute to society. The support from ITOCHU is highly evaluated as a great foundation that leads to the stabilization of KnK Philippines' activities and enables them to continue.
Volunteer from ITOCHU Manila branch
Employees from ITOCHU Manila branch regularly visit this facility for volunteer activities and other purposes.
In May 2016, a ceremony was held to commemorate the 15th anniversary of KnK Philippines' activities. 6 employees from Manila branch participated in the celebratory event, bringing children's favorite fast food.
In addition, Itochu Manila Branch and DOLE Philippines sponsored Christmas Party of KNK Philippines for those in "House for Youth". 14 employees from Itochu Corporation and 11 employees from DOLE Philippines joined the celebration for the first time. All staff and children enjoyed modern and traditional dance, participated the games and gift giving started after lunch and all of the children received school supplies and hygiene kits. They are really happy that Itochu is continuing the support for the children and they have DOLE Philippines as a new family, also happy to see that children felt the sense of fulfillment and happiness.
Comments from the children and staff:
- They have a sense of humor and are patient and good at teaching.
- I'm glad to know that someone supports us.
- I felt they care for the children.
- It's fun to try new activities.
- The children will be able to better recognize that they are receiving support from Japan, particularly when they see Japanese volunteers.
Case stories
Bryan (alias, 13 years old, resident at the House for Youth for two years and seven months)
Bryan's mother abandoned him in front of a shop when he was 10 years old. She told him that his father lived there. An administrative organization took him into custody and introduced him to the House for Youth. After moving in, through interviews and conversations, he gradually revealed that his mother had neglected him, his father had rejected him and gangsters had abused him. He underwent counseling and psychotherapy because of his risk of developing a disorder.
In addition, KnK allowed him to attend school after confirming his birth certificate, using networks and connections with other organizations. KnK also found his mother, in cooperation with the branch office of the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD), in the region where Bryan was from. After his mother agreed to live with him, he returned home in cooperation with DSWD. Then a regional social worker followed up with his family.
Looking back his days of residing in the House for Youth, Bryan said that he was grateful to KnK for the opportunity to learn and for accepting him for who he was.
Oliver (alias, 13 years old, residing at the House for Youth for four years and eight months)
Oliver had been detained at the age of nine, suspected of having stolen money from neighbors. At that time, he started to live in the House for Youth. He has three younger brothers. His mother's new partner had abused him. He had not been allowed to go to school.
When he first joined the facilities, he had the difficulty verbally communicating with others. He could not express his thoughts or feelings and cried out and moved his arms and legs violently to convey how he felt. Sometimes he even used force on other residents of the House for Youth. Counseling helped him to cope: His anger about his parents and bullying behaviors gradually decreased.
Before coming to the House for Youth, he had never attended school. Receiving individual guidance, he learned the alphabet and entered school. He has successfully advanced each school year.
Now, as a fifth-year student, he commented that he had learned important values, including respect for others and the error of theft after entering the House for Youth.

Voices of the residents of the House for Youth
Raffy (alias, 12 years old)
Raffy started to live on the streets at the age of ten, along with his older brother by four years and two friends. His brother was apprehended for guidance after stealing, then the two brothers were introduced to KnK.
Voice of Raffy
"One good thing about the House for Youth is that we can go to school. My dream of becoming a policeman may come true. I don't want to live with my father, who doesn't allow us to go to school. The House for Youth even serves nice meals. I don't have a favorite but everything I eat is good!"
Christian (alias, 15 years old)
Christian lived with six brothers after their father was jailed and their mother passed away due to an illness. At that time, his brother stole to provide for their household. Christian had only attended school until the fourth year before coming to the House for Youth.
Voice of Christian
"I went back to school after joining the House for Youth. That's the best part for me. Science is my favorite subject. I want to be a physician in the future to help sick people."

Accepting Chinese university students for homestays
Since its inception, ITOCHU Corporation has supported the "Visit Japanese Enterprises and Feel Japan" program organized by the Japanese Chamber of Commerce and Industry in China to give Chinese university students the opportunity to learn more about Japan.
The program aims to promote friendship between Japan and China by having university students from China visit Japan twice a year and engage in citizen-based exchanges. In FY2018, the 20th in June and 21st in December, iterations of the program were run, with 2 employees from the ITOCHU Group accepting Chinese university students as hosts and enjoying citizen-based exchanges with their families.
Supporting Brazilian Elementary and Junior High School Pupils in Japan
Children attending school for Brazilians in Japan face a variety of problems, among them a lack of Japanese language proficiency, financially challenged facilities, insufficient learning materials and the large number who do not attend school at all. The current situation means that despite living in Japan, these children have little exposure to Japanese culture and the Japanese language.
On October 14, 2015, ITOCHU held ITOCHU Festa do Brasil, a Brazil-themed private party at KidZania Tokyo, for which ITOCHU Corporation is an official sponsor. The party commemorated the 120th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Japan and Brazil, and 240 Brazilian children from six elementary and junior high schools in Gunma, Ibaraki and Saitama Prefectures were invited to the party. With this party as the catalyst, in April 2016, a total of 45 Brazilian elementary and junior high school pupils from Ibaraki, Tokyo, Kanagawa, Chiba, and Saitama were invited to KidZania Tokyo to attend and enjoy a work experience aimed at career education. In addition, even after 2017, we agreed to cooperate in the activities of Fundação Associação Nippo Brasileira de Economia e Cultura (Japan-Brazil Economic and Culture Association) and donated tickets for KidZania Tokyo.
Holding summer school program on the environment
Every summer since 1992, ITOCHU Corporation has been holding a summer school program on the environment for local children and employees' families as a means of raising awareness of environmental issues. To date, we have provided a cumulative total of more than 1,200 elementary school children with opportunities to learn about environmental and biodiversity conservation.
In FY2018, the class was held on July 24 in the form of two workshops, "SDGs" and "Takata no Yume," respectively, with around 70 participants that included employees' children and local elementary school students. In the first half, Kuro Love Kyoju, a "university professor talent" who belongs to Yoshimoto Creative Agency, service as the instructor, presenting the 17 sustainable development goals (SDGs) the world is supposed to achieve by the year 2030 in the style of a live comic performance, allowing the students to learn while having fun. In the second half, with Osamu Kamioka (Doctor of Science) of the JT Plant Innovation Center as instructor and the assistance of members of the Agriculture and Forestry Department of Rikuzen-Takata City and JT, the "Science Class on Takata no Yume, the rice brand of Rikuzen-Takata City" was held. In addition to experiencing rice planting, threshing, husking and milling, they used laboratory instruments to learn about the "mysteries of rice" in the way scientific researchers do.
Accepting elementary and junior and senior high school students for company visits
In concert with the teaching guidelines of the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology incorporating company visits into curriculum, ITOCHU Corporation has accepted company visits by elementary and junior and senior high school students to support "students understanding social roles and occupational lifestyles, and encouraging independence as a full-fledged member of society."
In FY2019, we accepted visits from 4 schools in total, including the nearby Aoyama Elementary School, and Shiga Prefectural Hachiman Commercial Senior High School, the old school of Chubei Itoh Ⅱ. We also accepted a company visit by students from Mikata Junior High School in Wakasa Town, Fukui Prefecture, which ITOCHU Corporation Senior Representative for Business Community Relations Kobayashi serves as the Furusato Taishi (hometown ambassador), for the third consecutive year. Mr. Kobayashi himself gave a lecture to the students from his home town.

Lift Your Eyes is a series of reflections covering every sentence in Paul's letter to the Ephesians.
In each reflection, I take a short portion from the letter, provide a translation, describe what it's saying, and reflect on what it means for our lives and our relationships with others. As you read Ephesians, it is my prayer that Paul's letter will lift your eyes, raise your sights, and help you to stand.
The reflections are being published once a week, finishing in January 2020.

How much real estate commission should I pay
The question is as old as the real estate business itself and the answer should always be; it's negotiable. Real estate is a business and the cost of real estate services cannot be set in stone. It's against the law. What a seller really needs to ask is, who is going to be best able to help me meet my goals? Commissions are certainly an important part of the relationship but when it comes to meeting your goals it probably isn't the most important factor.
In Jupiter, Florida more people have been paying less for real estate commissions than at any point in history. The reality is without looking at every closing statement, for every transaction, it is impossible to tell exactly what a seller pays in total commission but we can look at the information available and make educated assumptions. For this article we are going to assume that the co-brokerage commission offered through the Multiple Listing Service is half of the total commission paid by the seller. So if a 3% commission is offered to the buyers agent we would assume the total commission paid is 6%.
Most people hear that 6% is the "going rate" but that is far from the truth in Jupiter. The fact is if you are selling a single family home in Jupiter Florida and agree to pay a 6% commission you are paying more than most sellers. Through June 1st of this year we would have to go back a long, long time to find a month where more home sellers paid 6% than those who paid 5%. Way back to April of last year. Each and every month, for the past 13 months more single family home sellers in Jupiter paid 5% total commission than 6%. The funny thing is, it hasn't been a close contest over that time with 57.2% of home sellers paying 5% and 42.8% paying 6%.
So if somebody tells you that 6% is the "going rate" you know they are full of hot air. Paradise Sharks wants our clients to not only be fully educated, we want them to get the highest level of service and the best value available in our market. We aren't the firm for everyone and there are clients where we are not a good fit. However, one thing we do know is we will never charge our clients a commission above 5% and in many cases can do much better. It depends on a number of factors and always revolves around making sure we are gearing our services around our clients needs. Not ours.
If you are thinking about selling a property you should interview at least 3 brokerages and learn what they are going to do to help you meet your goals. Part of that equation is the fees you will pay but again that truly isn't the most important factor. If your property is in Palm Beach County, or Martin County, Paradise Sharks would LOVE to be included on the list of brokerages you interview. We will always gear our services to meeting your goals and we might just surprise you with a commission you never would have thought possible. You can schedule an appointment with us anytime at 561.308.0175 or firstname.lastname@example.com

We told you first back in January that Yaletown's Small Victory was planning a second location, headed to South Granville in the spot previously occupied by an American Apparel store.
It's been what the bakeshop and cafe calls a "long long journey" to get their second Small Victory open–no small victory indeed! The bakeshop revealed Friday morning that they would be in soft opening mode as of Monday, September 24.
Among the design gems you'll expect to find at Small Victory at 3070 Granville are the contributions of talented locals like lighting wizard Matthew McCormick, architecture and design firm Leckie Studio, furnishing designers New Format Studio (who are behind the brass-infused counter space), artist Lindsey Hampton, and branding stars Glasfurd & Walker.
On the menu: Small Victory's always-stunning baked goods will take centre stage, alongside a comprehensive coffee program, with breakfast and lunch dishes–and cakes and pies, too.
Small Victory South Granville is located at 3070 Granville Street in Vancouver.

Let's start with the obvious - they both take place on a celestial body that's not earth.
And both feature men trapped on that celestial body, looking back at Earth, and wishing they could be there.
They even both have a little residence, sitting out there on the vast, barren surface.
Back on Earth, people are ever so concerned about the person trapped all the way up there.
But the two of them are so, so alone, sitting up there, staring out into nothing.
So there's lots of note writing in an attempt to get some sort of communication.
There's also lots of plaintive staring through windows.
Attempts at communication are made with the most advanced technology available.
But finally, they manage to get something all the way up there to save him.
So for both of them, it's all about a man, out there in space, and trying to get him a connection with home.

In athletes who suffered a concussion, a protein in their claret may be able to adumbrate aback they can acknowledgment to action. A new abstraction finds that those who took best to acknowledgment to comedy had college levels of a protein accepted as tau in their claret in the 6 hours afterward the agony than players who were austere to acknowledgment to the acreage sooner. Tau claret testing isn't accessible for prime time, but experts say that if it pans out it would become an invaluable apparatus for coaches and physicians alike.
Trainers, sports physicians, and neurologists accord with some 3.8 actor sports-related concussions in the United States anniversary year. But they still abridgement an cold medical ysis to authorize whether addition has abiding the injury, and at what point they accept recovered abundant from one to resume playing. Instead, they are affected to await on often-nebulous concrete signs, and on players' self-reporting of symptoms. And it's accepted that players, agog to get aback on the field, generally abbreviate these.
"We don't appetite a biomarker that aloof says somebody had a concussion," says abstraction baton Jessica Gill, a neuroscientist at the National Institute of Nursing Research in Bethesda, Maryland. "We appetite a biomarker that says who needs to be out of comedy to recover."
Gill, with blow physician Jeffrey Bazarian of the University of Roer School of Medicine and Dentistry in New York, and colleagues took preseason claret samples from added than 600 macho and changeable University of Roer athletes who participate in acquaintance sports: football, basketball, hockey, and lacrosse. In it, they abstinent levels of tau, a protein affiliated to alarming academician abrasion and Alzheimer's disease, which has been begin to be animated in the claret of Olympic boxers and concussed ice hockey players. Then, in the 46 bookish players who abiding concussions during the season, the advisers abstinent tau in the claret again—as they did in 37 uninjured, ascendancy athletes—at assorted time points: aural 6 hours of the injury, and 1, 3, and 7 canicule later. (The concussions were witnessed by on-field, certified able-bodied trainers. The players' affection additionally met the ogue of blow in a broadly acclimated ysis that evaluates affection like anamnesis and balance.) Twenty-one nonathlete controls additionally had added claret fatigued and abstinent for tau, afore the season.
Tau is so deficient in claret that it is awfully difficult to measure. "It's like attractive for a brace grains of beach in an Olympic admeasurement pond pool," Gill says. So the advisers angry to a apparatus fabricated by Quanterix of Lexington, Massachusetts, that uses alluring chaplet coated by an antibiotic that binds selectively and acutely deeply to the protein in the blood.
As a group, the almost 61% of the concussed athletes who weren't austere to acknowledgment to comedy for added than 10 canicule had decidedly college concentrations of tau in their claret at 6, 24, and 72 hours afterwards their injuries than did the players that experts said could acknowledgment to the acreage sooner, the aggregation letters today in Neurology. The better aberration amid the two groups was in the bloods taken aural 6 hours of the athletes' injuries.
Counterintuitively, in the accumulation of athletes who were austere to acknowledgment to comedy sooner, the boilerplate tau akin in the claret fatigued aural 6 hours afterwards abrasion was absolutely lower than it was in the baseline, preseason claret draw. Possibly, this is because tau levels are accepted to rise, absolute of injury, with exertion; appropriately the abatement in tau from the preseason akin may accept reflected the players' immediate, activated blow afterwards their injuries.
The nonathlete controls had lower levels of tau in their claret than the athletes at baseline, acknowledging the abstraction that exercise may advance to artlessly college tau claret levels. Why that may be is unclear, although the blood-brain barrier is anticipation to become added absorbent during exertion; whatever the reason, the award in the nonathletes will accept to be accounted for if a claret ysis for tau as a admeasurement of blow severity is to become a reality.
The tau admeasurement was additionally far from infallible. Claret tau levels aural 6 hours afterwards abrasion predicted with alone 81% accurateness whether a accustomed amateur would acknowledgment to comedy in 10 canicule or less. What's more, tau in the claret is alone a proxy for tau in the brain, addendum Barry Kosofsky, who directs the pediatric blow dispensary at Weill Cornell Medicine in New York City.
"The basal band is they are barometer article in the claret that they achievement is cogitating of abrasion to the brain, but the arresting may be blocked because it's an aberrant measure," he says. He nonetheless calls the assignment "critically important" and says that an cold biomarker would be a "godsend" in his circadian practice.
One access that needs exploring soon, says Gill, is whether added protein markers in the claret acceleration afterwards concussions. Discovering those, she says, ability ample out the picture, bringing that 81% to 100%.

Victorian Olympus
Victorian Olympus
Two thousand and nearly four hundred years ago a supreme masterpiece was planned--the temple of Athena Parthenos on the citadel rock, the Acropolis of ancient Athens.
The noble Pericles, chief magistrate of the city, great alike in war and peace, pupil of renowned philosophers, whose words were as thunder and lightning, who was called, like Zeus himself, Olympian, commanded that it should stand on the site of that former temple of Athena which the invading Persians had destroyed.
Ictinos, renowned also for his temple of Apollo at Phigaleia, was the chosen architect. Pheidias, distinguished even above the great Polycleitos as the sculptor of gods rather than of men, rose to the height of his powers in its adornment.
Of that statue he made of the Athenians' patron goddess, daughter of Zeus, the many-named Athena, who is sometimes called Minerva, who was known as Parthenos because of her virginity, there remains only a small copy--or 'souvenir'--but the original towered, superb and immense in the temple interior, forty feet, plated in ivory and gold. The more than human composure of the features, the eyes of lapis and the golden hair of the proud being, goddess of war who yet created the olive, symbol of peace, who held in one hand the image of Victory and rested the other on a mighty shield, carved with scenes of battle against giants and Amazons, filled beholders with awe.
Many a sculptor whose name is unknown worked with Pheidias and to his plans, but it seemed that the spirit of genius was upon . . .
