COMPARISON OF THE RATES OF NITRIC OXIDE GEMINATE RECOMBINATION TO THE HEME OF eNOS AND OF nNOS
The above differences between eNOS and nNOS in terms of NO release and heme nitrosy-lation are related to the stability of their ferrous nitrosyl complexes. For nNOS, this ferrous nitrosyl complex of nNOS is very stable. The rates for spontaneous binding and dissociation of NO to nNOS were reported as kon = 2 x 107 M-1s-1 and koff = 1 x 10-4s-1 [60]. This is consistent with the majority of the nNOS protein that exist as a ferrous heme-NO complex in steady-state (aerobic) catalysis, since the nitrosylation governs and limits the rate of NO synthesis [61]. In contrast, in eNOS, little heme-NO complex forms during normal turnover when arginine is the substrate. The nitrosylation rate of ferrous eNOS was reported as kon = 1.1 x 106 M-1s-1 whereas conflicting values were published for the dissociation rate: koff = 70 s-1 and 6 x 10-4 s-1 [23,54]. These dissociation rates are at least an order of magnitude larger than for nNOS. These numbers explain the experimental fact that eNOS has a significantly lower degree of nitrosylation than nNOS, once NO is formed via bimolecular recombination of NO to the proteins. The kinetics of photo-induced release and rebinding of free NO from the ferrous nitrosylated eNOS and nNOS were measured by ultra-fast absorption spectroscopy (geminate rebinding of the nitrosyl ligand after photodissociation). The buffered solution had a high 50 ^M concentration of ferrous protein that was nitrosylated by prolonged bubbling of the solution with argon containing 0.1% NO. Optical absorption confirmed that bubbling achieved full nitrosylation of the heme within the experimental error of ca 5%. We used a 30 fs pump pulse of 565 nm to selectively cleave the NO-heme bond of the ferrous nitrosyl complex. This bond cleavage generated the unliganded Fe2+ heme at the expense of the ferrous nitrosyl complex. The kinetics of the absorption spectrum after bond cleavage was monitored with a wideband probe beam (between 390 and 550 nm) with high time resolution. A typical trace of the kinetics is shown in Fig. 8. The amplitude AOD represents the change in optical density by application of the pump pulse. At given optical pathlength d, this observable value is proportional to the concentration of non-nitrosyl heme [Fe2+] released by the pump pulse
AOD (t = 0) = d(£410(heme) - £410(NO—heme)} • [Fe2+]
Significantly, the optical density does not return to its original value just prior to the pump pulse, but it approaches a positive asymptotic value. This phenomenon is particularly manifest for the eNOS isoform, but applies to nNOS as well. It proves that not all cleaved NO-heme bonds are restored by recapture of the nitrosyl ligand. Phrased otherwise, a certain fraction of NO ligands was actually released from the enzyme as free NO.
Fig. 8. Kinetics of the optical density at 410 nm due to geminate recombination of NO ligands to the ferrous heme of eNOS and nNOS. The reaction is initiated by a short pump pulse at 565 nm. The solutions contain ca 50 ^M nitrosylated eNOS after bubbling with argon containing 0.1% NO. The kinetic constants are given in Table 4. The decay curves are fit according to Eq. (4).

Table 4 Kinetic constants of the geminate recombination of NO ligands to ferrous heme of eNOS and nNOS. The parameter A4 represents the probability that the photodissociated NO is released from the protein and escapes recombination with the heme eNOS
As often found for the recombination kinetics of hemeproteins, NO rebinding kinetics could be described as the sum of three exponentials with clearly distinct timescales ti < T2 < T3 where A1 + A2 + A3 + A4 = 1
The first exponential (A1, T1) accounts for rapid NO rebinding from the immediate vicinity to the heme iron, and is activationless. The second and third exponentials account for much slower kinetics where the NO rebinding takes place from larger distances to the heme, but still within the heme pocket or its vicinity. These phases are usually required to overcome internal energy barriers for NO recombination to the heme. The constant term A4 is the probability of escape of free NO from the protein. It is clearly seen from Fig. 8 that this escape probability A4 is much higher in eNOS than in nNOS (0.20 versus 0.06). It confirms that very little NO is able to escape from the reduced nNOS. This result is in complete agreement with the absence of spontaneous (thermolytic) release of NO from nitrosylated nNOS and the high degree of nitrosylation of nNOS in the presence of nitrite (cf Fig. 7). This NO-bound ferrous complex probably arises from NO generated by nitrite reduction, but is unable to escape from the ferrous nNOS. In contrast, once oxygen is able to oxidize the heme to its ferric state, this NO should be released immediately in a "burst." This NO burst could be very toxic since it happens as the oxygen is freshly supplied, for example, at reperfusion. Moreover, it can combine with the superoxide ions formed under decoupling conditions to generate peroxynitrite. This could be the basis of the reported evidence of nNOS promoting inflammation in the cerebral microcirculation whereas eNOS blunts the extent of this response to episodic hypoxia and exerts neuroprotective effects [62].

SEOUL (AA) – Hundreds of South Koreans were allowed to cross the heavily guarded border with North Korea Friday, for the week's second reunion event at the North's picturesque Mount Kumgang resort.
Meetings from Monday to Wednesday saw people chosen by the South reunite with surviving family members whom officials from the North were able to identify.
Conversely, the second event scheduled to wrap up on Sunday has brought together a list of relatives picked by Pyongyang.
Some 326 South Koreans from 81 families traveled across the border Friday, according to local news agency Yonhap.
Some of the reunions saw siblings reunited as well as elderly parents and children after decades apart since the 1950-53 Korean War.
"I am your first son, " 67-year-old Cho Jeong-gi was quoted by Yonhap as tearfully saying to the father he had never met before. "I had no idea I would be able to meet you. "
However, after Sunday the relatives will be separated again until Seoul and Pyongyang are able to agree on terms that would allow more flexible inter-Korean travel for their respective citizens.
There have been around 20 rounds of reunions since the Koreas' first summit in 2000, but the last one before this year was in 2015.
This latest round was the product of South Korean President Moon Jae-in's agreement with North Korean Chairman Kim Jong-un when they met for the first time in April.
The South still has close to 57,000 of its own citizens waiting to be reunited with relatives, although many of them are now over 70 years old.

Children's Eye Health
Your Eye Examination
Your child's vision is vital – it can have a huge impact on their educational, functional and social development. Your child may not realise they have a problem with their vision which is why it is important they attend a routine eye examination regularly. Children under the age of 16 are entitled to a free NHS sight test every year.
This is also true for those aged between 16 and 19 providing they are still in full time education. If glasses are necessary you will also receive help towards the cost of them.
If you notice your child struggling then you can make them an appointment with us by calling 01909 486 418
Although serious vision problems during childhood are rare, early testing ensures that any problems are picked up and managed as early as possible.
Eye problems are often much easier to treat if detected while a child's vision is still developing (usually up to about seven or eight years of age).
An early diagnosis will help to ensure that you and your child have access to any special support services you may need.
Spotting The Signs
The eyes pointing in different directions
Complaining of headaches or eye strain
Problems with reading
Problems with co-ordination
Regularly rubbing their eyes

RAF Stradishall, Suffolk
During 1946 No.35 Squadron participated in a 'Goodwill Tour' of the United States, later returning in September to RAF Stradishall, due to RAF Graveley's closure.
Alan J Laird Craig DSO DFC
RAF Stradishall from 18th September 1946 to 21st October 1946
WAAF's Story
I was asked to bring back to Stradishall 10 young Girls, Conscripts who had never left home before. I had their Travel Warrants & Particulars so imagine my horror when at Liverpool Street Station we had to run over the Bridge to catch our Train that was about to leave and half the Girls got on and the other half got left behind. I think it was Marks Tey where we had to change Trains so I went with my tale to the Station Master and he said no more Trains from London that Night. When I got to Haverhill (the nearest large Rail Station to RAF Stradishall) my name was called and I was told my charges had been put on a Train coming Cambridge way. It was very late when it finally arrived and it came in on the Platform over the Bridge, I could see the Girls in there but they didn't attempt to alight and as the Guard blew his whistle I flew across the Bridge shouting at him. He blew his whistle again and to my relief, the Train stopped and he was very cross as the Girls tumbled out and he threw their Kit Bags out after them. It was midnight when we got back to Camp and I had to traipse around to find empty Beds for them, what a day, it's imprinted in my memory.
Raf Stradishall c.1943
Stradishall was an active RAF Station for over 30 years, opening in February 1938 as part of 3 Group. It was 1st occupied by No.9 Squadron with Heyford's & 148 Squadron with Wellesley's, although the latter was soon replaced by Heyford's & Anson's. In September 1938 the Munich Crisis had Stradishall on full alert and its tentative Target, in Case of War, was Berlin. In early 1939 No.9 Squadron left to be replaced by the Wellington's & Anson's of 75 Squadron, but Stradishall was Vacant, when these moved on, from September to October 1939.
75 (NZ) Squadron Wellington bombers at RAF Stradishall in 1939, ready to fly to Brussels & Paris as a show of strength from the RAF. The 1st Commonwealth Squadron to be formed in Bomber Command – took part in the early Bombing Offensive against Enemy-occupied Territories. After a brief period of Blenheim 1F Fighters, Wellington Bombers returned in February 1940 with 214 Squadron, the Federated Malay States Squadron, who stayed until October 1942. One of the Hangers suffered Enemy Bomb Damage in early 1941.
214 Squadron Bomber under repair by Ground-Crew c.1941/2
138 Squadron flew many Sorties from November 1941 to March 1942 with Whitley Bombers. In April 1942 No.214 Squadron converted to Stirlings & 109 Squadron arrived in Wellingtons, then Oxfords of 1521 BAT Flight (Beam Approach Training). In May 1943 Stradishall controlled Ridgewell & Chedburgh but in December 1944 No.186 Squadron arrived from Tuddenham with Lancasters and Operated until they disbanded in July 1945. After the War Stradishall left 3 Group and passed to 48 Group Transport Command and in August 1945 No.s 51 & 158 Squadrons arrived in Stirling CV's and these flew until March 1946 when 51 Squadron received Yorks. In September 1946 Stradishall reverted to 3 Group and 5 squadrons of Lancasters including No.35 Squadron and were based here until February 1949. In July 1949 Stradishall became No.203 Advanced Flying School for Meteors, a few Spitfires, Vampires & Harvard's into the 1950's. Stradishall then attained some fame as a Transit Camp for Ugandan Asians expelled by Idi Amin. In July 1977 Stradishall became Highpoint Prison and it has been extended & improved as a Prison ever since. The "Hard Times" Cafe stands outside the Prison Gates today, on the Road from Bury St Edmunds to Haverhill.

Assay Bench
Plate 972X. Assay Bench 1957 – 1958 – 1959 – 2005 Viewed north from Assay Bench to Little Mountain (8,104 ft.). The 1957 photo was taken before the area was treated, while the 1958 image was made immediately after the site had been root-plowed to eliminate sagebrush and reseeded to improve range conditions. The 1959 photograph was taken the first growing season after the treatment. The seeded area is mostly smooth brome with some intermediate and crested wheatgrass. Mountain big sage and bitterbrush have begun to reinvade the seeding. Part of the area was burned by the Uinta Flat Wildfire in 1989. Plates 970x, 971x, and 972x were taken from the same photopoint marked with a rock carin on top of a low, lava out-crop approximately 100 feet north of the access road.

Why Practice Yoga?
My yoga practice is not complicated.
I share my practice and keep it simple.
I believe that is what we need .
Simplicity in our busy lives.
If you are new to Gurjinder Yoga and have not practiced with us before I invite you to buy one
Drop In Class and get your second class as a gift from me.

sequencing, breath work and meditation helps you to slow down and de-stress your
body,mind and beautiful heart.
The goal is to feel well.
The goal is to connect body, mind & heart.
Observe how you feel after your 2 classes and then proceed from that point.
Soothe your body,relax your mind and shift your energy .
Want to know a little about how I got into yoga ?
I discovered yoga at a time in my life when I felt a little overwhelmed.
I had young children,a dog and a husband who was working away on business trips quite a lot.
I never seemed to have enough time to take care of myself.
I was exhausted most of the time!
I felt that I was giving and doing for others but neglecting my own needs.
But I did not realise this at first.
I don't think I was still or quiet enough to really tune in to what my body, mind or heart needed.
I had lost touch with myself.
Kind of forgotten who I was for a while.
Taking care of my family and my home was ( & is ) very important to me, but I was not taking care of
Yoga allowed me this "time out" to re-connect and take care of myself for a little while at least .
And this "little while" of yoga time began to fill me, recharge my energy,make me feel better in
Life seemed to run more smoothly.
I felt lighter, more spacious and happier in myself.
It all starts with us FIRST.
If we feel good ,then those around us will feel that "goodness" too!
It's the Magic Ripple Effect of Yoga!
It might sound a bit selfish, but I really needed to get away at times just for a little while at least to
help find myself again and reconnect,recharge my energy so that I could tackle my responsibilities in
a more loving,caring way with out getting overwhelmed.
It allowed me to slow down.
I was able to tune in to how my body, mind and heart was feeling.
I was able to be my authentic self.
I was able to get from my practice exactly what I needed.
I could rest, relax, laugh or cry if that was the release I needed on that particular day.
I saw that through practice I was getting stronger and more flexible.
Through breathwork, movement and guided meditations I discovered the many healing benefits of
this practice and how it helped me to de-stress and have more energy to be a nicer mother and wife!
Sometimes ,although we may be busy and have many people around us ,we still feel alone.
Practicing yoga allowed me to find a community .... a little "sacred sanctuary" where I could connect
with like minded women.
If you are reading this and thinking "wow, that sounds just like me".... then,I lovingly invite you to press
the button below and receive your gift of 1 Extra Yoga Class Free with me.

Many of Israel's lakes, riverbeds and aquifers are at unprecedented 100-year lows, with the Sea of Galilee dangerously close to its "black line," the level below the intake pipes of the water pumps that send the lake's water to nearby towns.
Israelis have not felt the current drought as acutely as past dry spells because Israel in recent years constructed five massive desalination plants on the Mediterranean coast that now provide some 70 percent of the country's drinking water directly from the sea. The state also recycles some 86 percent of its waste water for agriculture. Two more desalination plants are in the planning stages.
But all these efforts may not be enough to keep the water flowing. In May 2018, the Water Authority rolled out a public ad campaign entitled "Israel is drying out" aimed at reminding Israelis that saving water at home is still important. To emphasize the point, the authority said if the drought continues for another year, it would start imposing limits on Israelis' water consumption. According to Water Authority estimates, some 2.5 billion cubic meters of water are missing from the source reservoirs of the country's natural water supply. The drought of the past six years has driven these reservoirs, and the streams that flow from them, to 98-year lows, according to the Times of Israel.
Pray and praise Him for showers during this coming rainy season: "Are there any among the idols of the nations that can cause rain? Or can the heavens give showers? Is it not You, O Lord our God? Therefore, we will wait upon You, for You have done all these things" (Jer. 14:22).

Do you find yourself running low on funds several days before payday or living paycheck to paycheck? Undoubtedly, your budget has felt the effects over the past few years of increased prices on consumer goods nearly every time you go to the grocery store or fill your car up with gas. To help get your finances organized, here are 10 simple steps that you can follow to create a budget and start meeting it each month:
1. Add up all sources of income
The first thing that you need to do is have a clear understanding of the money that you have coming in each month. This gives you the framework for your budget because now you know the limits within which you can spend your money. Make a spreadsheet or list of all of your monthly income sources:
- Wages
- Ttips
- Alimony
- Child support
- Pension
- Investment or interest income
2. Account for expenses
Now you must figure out how much money you have going out of your accounts each month. Make a column on your spreadsheet or list for all of you monthly bills, or expenses. Make sure to include:
- Fixed expenses—mortgage/rent, auto loan, insurances (health, life, auto, home), 401k/IRA contribution*, personal/signature loans
- Variable expenses—utilities, food/consumer goods—just estimate these items, but make sure you stick to those estimates when spending the money each month.
*Notice that 401k/IRA contribution is listed as an expense. Even though it is optional, you should look at it as a necessary expense that you must budget in each month. Making this a part of your budget each month will set you up for financial freedom during your retirement years.
3. Calculate your disposable income
Add up all of your income and all of your expenses. Once you subtract all of your expenses from your income, the amount that is left over is your disposable income. From the disposable income, you can set aside additional money in a savings account, have some spending cash, or just have money set aside for any unexpected expenses that pop up during the year.
4. Make spending adjustments
At this point, you need to take note of what you are spending your money on. If you find that you don't have enough income to cover all of your expenses, you are going to have to start making cuts to your spending.
What are the least necessary things that you are spending your money on? Is there anything that you are spending money on right now that you don't really need? This is where you look at everything that you are spending money on and decide what you can cut.
Some quick items to look at:
- Cell phone plan
- Cable or satellite package
- Clubs/memberships that you are paying for but don't use
- Expensive habits like eating out or getting coffee.
5. Limit credit card use
credit cards each month an amount that you are able to pay off when the monthly statement arrives in the mail. You don't want to let the balance carry over month to month because most credit cards have high interest rates that compound daily. Paying only a minimum payment toward your spending will take years (maybe even decades) to pay off.
A credit card should not be used to cover the shortfall of your monthly expenses. Not only does this allow you to create unhealthy spending habits, but you are also setting yourself up for an increasing debt that you won't be able to pay off without additional income sources.
6. Use cash when possible
After creating a budget, it is easy to see how much money is left over each month that is considered expendable. Obviously, by using cash, it is impossible to overspend. Once the cash that you have set aside for the month is gone, the spending stops. For instance, if you have budgeted $100 from each paycheck to go towards groceries, only take $100 with you to the store.
7. Be a money savvy consumer
- Clip coupons — also look for stores that offer to double your coupons.
- Use money saving apps such as, Checkout 51, Shopkick, and Grocery Pal.
- Purchase items when they are on sale. For example, stock up on chicken or beef when it is on sale and put some in the freezer for later, rather than buying it at a more expensive price later.
- Comparison shop — the internet makes it easy to look up the price of an item at multiple stores or online shops to figure out where it is offered at the best price.
- Most stores have websites that feature weekly ads as well as an opportunity to sign up with your email account to become a member. Take advantage of these offers to receive valuable coupons, promotions, and savings events information.
8. Budget for unexpected costs
- Savings account — even though interest rates are low now, putting money into a savings account is still a good idea. If you set up direct deposit, that money will go there before you get your paycheck, making it much easier to save when the money is taken out of your paycheck directly without you ever having to see or think about it.
- Emergency Fund — it is suggested that you have at least six-months salary set aside in case of a life emergency, such as an accident or the loss of a job. These funds can help get you through if something were to unexpectedly happen. You will still be able to pay your monthly bills, even if there isn't any current income coming in.
9. Save for the future
- Retirement account — if your employer offers a 401k or other similar retirement plan, you should contribute the maximum matching level. For example, if you employer matches up to 4%, that is the level to which you want to minimally contribute, otherwise, you are turning down "free" money.
- Open a Return of Premium Life Insurance Policy — While this type of life insurance policy provides protection for a certain period of time, it also provides a sort of forced savings account. If the benefit is never used, the policy holder ends up getting all of the premiums back.
10. Review your budget periodically
Once you have done all of this, you will need to check back on things and make sure that the numbers are still working for you. As income levels change or expenses go up or down, you will need to adjust things accordingly.
For instance, if you get a raise, decide how that money will be spent — maybe put part into savings and put the rest toward paying off a credit card bill. Also review things like insurance (sometimes with your financial advisor) to make sure that you have a policy that covers you adequately, at a competitive rate.
While budgeting may not always seem like an easy thing to do, by taking these simple steps today, you can start planning for a secure financial future tomorrow. Remember, even the littlest step that are taken now can add up to drastic differences down the line.

Chele La Pass
Chele La Pass at over 13,000 ft Chele La Passto the west above the Paro Valley is the highest road pass in the country and has amazing views of the Himalaya and most significantly the magnificent Jhomolhari, Bhutan's most sacred peak at over 22,000 feet. It is a one and a half hour drive from the valley floor in Paro to the pass. It can be ridden on a mountain bike but the climb is a long one. It is great fun to free wheel down either into the Haa Valley on the other side of back to Paro.

Pearly gates
Currently they're only available in monthly and annual versions, but as the price drops they will become available for weekly and daily tickets too. Conveniently, they come just when I'm about to buy my first monthly travelcard for my new job, so I can be a cool trendsetter with my nifty remotely-read smartcard, which will almost certainly fail to work in a humourous fashion the first time I use it.
Forgive me for being geeky here; I don't really know why I find these so cool. I've just been waiting to see these cards introduced for a long time -- the little yellow readers started appearing on tube gates more than a year ago. And I really do hate the horribly low-tech paper tickets, they're such a pain.
Random links that have interested me enough to bookmark recently: AwesomeGamerz is a mildly funny...
It's kinda assumed 'Oh, yeah he's gay'. Your consistent behavior leads anyone you come in contact with to think that you're more than likely a fun loving Homo boy. You're the life of the party and your hands are moving and talking as much as your mouth. Your clothes are so perfect that sometimes they look fake.
Bloom, OrlandoThese are the things I like to hear.
A yummy monkey, indeed. ("Dirty flirt.") "Kinda immature, a bit of a brat but still nice." Linked with Kate Bosworth and Susanna Eng and, I'm told, a German actor; I've gotten a lot of e-mail that Bloom is mostly bisexual, if not gay, and that his "affairs" with Bosworth and Eng are just PR.
Phew! That turned into a bit of a megablog; enjoy!

With mixed elements of good and evil, this pokies game is a must-play for anyone, and with the backing of NetEnt Gaming, you know you're in for a visual treat of game elements, as well as special bonus features. Plus, you can play this pokies game at any mobile online casino in NZ, featuring software from NetEnt – if you're lucky, you may just find one that offers a no deposit bonus, so that you can start playing, and winning, immediately! But let's first find out more about why Archangels: Salvation™ is so popular when it comes to online betting games for NZ players.
$1000 Welcome Bonus
$500 Welcome Bonus
$998 Welcome Bonus
$1500 Welcome Bonus
$800 Welcome Bonus
Win $50 Bonus
$150 welcome bonus
$200 Welcome Bonus
$200 Welcome Bonus TCs&Cs apply
Symbols and Bonus Features
The moment you load Archangels: Salvation™ on your PC, or mobile, you'll be greeted with an angel on the left and a devil on the right, already inviting you to choose a side. It's also no ordinary pokies game – even though there are 5 reels, it's the first game in the history of NetEnt to feature 100 paylines, giving you more opportunities to win.
The Wild symbol in the game is a lion's head with the letter "W", and is actually a block of 2x2 symbols, unlike other pokies games. The Wild will substitute for other symbols, with the exception of the Scatter, to form possible winning combinations. Should the 2x2 Wild symbol land on any of the two hot spot areas in the game, it will activate the Heaven or Hell features. The two hot spots are located at the bottom and the top of the reels. During the Heaven feature 2, or 4, stacks of Wild symbols are generated, depending where the 2x2 Wild lands (either fully or partially on the hot spot). The Hell feature on the other hand will generate 8 or 16 single Wild symbols – this, again, depends on whether the 2x2 Wild lands in full or partially on the hot spot.
Should you land 3, 4, 5 or 6 of the Scatter symbols, which can appear anywhere on the reels, you'll be rewarded with 10, 15, 20 or 25 Free Spins respectively.
Archangels: Salvation™ has High Win, Medium Win and Low Win symbols. The high symbols are those of the angel and devil, while the medium symbols are various elements of good and evil. The low symbols are your standard casino online pokies game card suits: diamond, heart, spade and club.

Man killed in motorbike accident in NSW
A second motorcyclist has died on the NSW south coast, just hours after a 50-year-old man died in another motorbike accident in the same area.
Emergency services discovered the male rider dead, and his female passenger with a broken arm, when they arrived at the southern end of Bellambi Beach about 8.30pm on Monday, police said.
The woman was taken to Wollongong Hospital, where she was treated and later released.
Early investigations suggest the rider may have fallen down a steep embankment.
About 5.40pm a 50-year-old man died after his motorbike and a car collided at Basin View, near Nowra.
A 43-year-old woman who was a passenger on the motorbike was taken to Shoalhaven Hospital with minor injuries where she is in a stable condition.
The 33-year-old male driver and 31-year-old female passenger of the car, both German nationals, also were taken to the same hospital suffering shock, police said.
The latest death brings the state's holiday road toll to four.

By Yumna Ahmed Qazi '17
Through her success in and out of the classroom, Abeer Naeem '17 got the gold by becoming New York One's Scholar Athlete of the Week.
According to ny1.com, the scholarship is awarded to high school students who excel in both athletics and academics and are able to balance both roles on a daily basis. The criteria to be nominated includes being a graduating high school senior in one of the five boroughs, being involved in varsity athletics, having an excellent academic record and being active in their community or being involved in extracurriculars. Naeem, a member of the cross country indoor and outdoor track team with a high grade point average, demonstrated her versatility in sports and school and was nominated by Ms. Lorrie Director.
"NY1 Scholar Athlete of the Week is basically given to you if you're a successful all rounder. I'm really grateful to Ms. Director for nominating me," said Naeem.
Profiles that feature student athletes are shown on the news channel and online on ny1.com. According to Naeem's profile that was reported by Matt McClure, Naeem was previously a "couch potato" and took an interest in long distance running when she arrived at Midwood. She is also a lab assistant in Brooklyn College's biology department and often volunteers to help out those in need in order to make a difference in their lives.
"I find it really cool that I've been recognized for the little stuff I do," said Naeem. "It didn't even occur to me that I would be on local television until I saw the camera."
Those who were given the scholarship will be awarded with $1000 that will go towards college tuition, room and board, or books. The NY1 Scholar Athlete program has provided nearly one million dollars in total scholarships to over 450 students in New York City since 1999. New York One will hold an annual ceremony in June that is sponsored by Ford Lincoln of Queens to award each of the winners with a plaque and the $1000.
Naeem expressed her enthusiasm and happiness for receiving the award. Her skillfulness shows that she is an example to be followed by other students.
"I'm looking forward to meeting new people at the award ceremony next month. It's an honor to receive this scholarship," she said.

USA Today Sports
(-125, 7)
Playoff Series: World Series; Kansas City
leads 2-1
Despite the fact they trail 2-1 in the World Series, the San
Francisco Giants will bypass ace Madison Bumgarner and stick
with scheduled starter Ryan Vogelsong for Saturday's Game 4
against the Kansas City Royals. San Francisco manager Bruce
Bochy considered switching starters before staying with
Vogelsong. "He's done a pretty good job for us, so he's going
to have his start (Saturday)," Bochy said in Friday's
postgame press conference. "Sure, we talked about other
options, but there is a confidence we have in Vogey."
Kansas City has won two straight games since losing the
opener, and the relief trio of Kelvin Herrera, Wade Davis and
Greg Holland has combined to allow one hit in seven scoreless
innings. A few standouts had their first hits of the World
Series in Friday's victory – Alex Gordon (11 at-bats)
recorded an RBI double and Eric Hosmer (10 at-bats) delivered
a run-scoring single. San Francisco's Pablo Sandoval was
hitless in four at-bats to end his streak of reaching base in
25 straight postseason games, tied for third all-time with
former Baltimore standout Boog Powell (1966-71).
TV: 8:07 p.m. ET, FOX
LINE HISTORY: Lines opened at San Francisco
-125 with a total of 7 and have yet to move from that
WEATHER REPORT: Clouds are expected to roll
in as game time approaches. There is a 40 percent chance of
precipitation, but it is unlike to amount to much. Winds are
forecasted to be blowing in towards the plate at 12 mph.
PITCHING MATCHUP: Royals LH Jason Vargas
(1-0, 2.38 ERA) vs. Giants RH Ryan Vogelsong (0-0, 5.19)
Vargas is pitching for the first time since Oct. 15 and only
the third time this postseason. He endured a winless
four-start stretch in September during which he gave up 18
runs in 18 innings but says he fixed a mechanical issue to
get himself back on track. "Just some fine-tuning of not
anything extraordinary," Vargas said at his Friday press
conference. "Just getting back on track and getting some
opportunities to spend a couple more side sessions working on
executing some things that we hadn't."
Vogelsong is making his second World Series start, having
beaten Detroit in 2012 when he pitched 5 2/3 scoreless
innings. He said he plans to lean on the experience to keep
his focus in perspective when he steps on the mound against
the Royals. "I think the biggest thing is just the experience
of curbing the emotions," Vogelsong said. "It's definitely a
situation where you have to be locked into the game and your
thoughts need to be on the game, but you have to take a quick
second to look around and take it all in."
*Royals are 2-5 in Vargas' last 7 road starts.
*Giants are 6-1 in their last 7 World Series home games.
*Royals are 7-1 in the last 8 meetings.
*Under is 8-2 in Vogelsongs last 10 home starts.

What if you wanted to do more than just bikepack? Why not throw rafts into the mix? This year, five men from New Zealand did just that, with inflatable pack-rafts they could strap their bikes to. Before they set off, last November's 7.8 magnitude earthquake hit New Zealand's North island, in some places radically changing the landscape and forcing alterations to their route.
There's plenty of white water in this, and a brief interlude where they take a break from the explicitly sensible, not-death-gnar kind of riding you'd usually associate bikepacking with:
(No video? Here's a link).
The one thing we really pity them for is that it appears they might have had to blow up the rafts with their mouths. Maybe it's worth it for these kind of views though.
They also kept a blog in advance of the trip, where you can find many more details about their preparation and kit. The inflatable packrafts they're using seem to be a fairly recent invention, and this entry about training with and without bikes details how they found the rafts challenging at first, but with the weight of a bike on the front found they could plough through rapids a little easier:
"Strapping the bikes to the boats felt a little surreal after so much anticipation but as soon as I dipped my paddle in the water I was at ease, YES! was the word resounding in my head through the first bouncy rapids. The major difference in manoeuvring with the extra weight was the ability to plow through stuff. The boat did feel slightly more tippy, within a short time however it felt as if the bike wasn't there, We paddled for roughly 2 hours that afternoon and by the time we reached the take out we were both beaming, yep this was doable, bring on Late February!"

US Dismisses UN Plea: Won't Stop Bombing Civilians in Raqqa – News From Antiwar.com
Posted by M. C. on August 27, 2017
'Kill anything that moves' is not just a saying or something from a movie, it is an accepted strategy.
That's unsurprising, as the Pentagon has gone out of their way to downplay the huge civilian toll of their ISIS air war, and appears to be confident that they can continue to mislead everyone about the number of people actually being killed in their strikes long enough to defeat ISIS outright.
The media does what it is told and avoids reporting civilian murder like the plague.
Be seeing you

GOSHEN, Ind. – Goshen Health is collaborating with Goshen Community Schools to help children learn about healthier food options during the Summer Lunch Program. The program provides healthy, free meals to children 18 years of age and younger Monday through Friday at Shanklin Park through July 27.
During the lunch period, fun and interactive games will be offered at a display table, along with handouts for the children to share with their families.
"Our goal is to reach as many children as we can," said Anne Tatich, Community Outreach Coordinator for Goshen Health. "We hope to have an impact on addressing and preventing childhood obesity – as well as just helping children be healthier and develop good habits."
Most of the children will be there without their parents. But parents are welcome to stop by Goshen Health's table and learn more about the role food plays in creating or diminishing good health.
"This is the first time we've offered this," said Tatich. "We chose Shanklin Park's lunch program because it reaches the most children – averaging 100 a day. If it goes well this summer, we'd love to offer this education for the entire Summer Lunch Program next summer."
For more information, please call (574) 364-2496 or email email@example.com.

That sound heard 'round the world on Thursday night (Nov. 19)? That was the sound of Will Smith returning to the stage.
The legendary entertainer joined Bomba Estereo to perform their remix of "Fiesta" at the 2015 Latin Grammy Awards, held in Las Vegas on Thursday night. Smith's epic entrance comes around the 80-second mark, and is marked by flames, dancers and high intensity.
The original version of "Fiesta" was nominated for record of the year at the Latin Grammys, but the Colombian group lost out to Natalia Lafourcade and her song "Hasta La Raiz." Smith recently announced that, yes, he and DJ Jazzy Jeff really are going on tour together.

Julian Hayter, associate professor in the University of Richmond Jepson School of Leadership Studies, was one of several featured experts in the CBS 60 MINUTES segment, "The History and Future of Confederate Monuments." Hayter, who was appointed to Richmond Mayor Levar Stoney's Monument Avenue Commission in June 2017, spoke with correspondent Anderson Cooper in an interview at the University of Richmond and during a walk down Richmond's Monument Avenue.
"All these years later, the Civil War, in many ways, is still contested ground," said Hayter.
At the Jepson School, Hayter teaches classes such as Justice and Civil Society and Reimagining Richmond: History, Power, and Politics in the Former Capital of the Confederacy.

Final Fantasy Composer Taking Leave Of Absence Due To Health Concerns
Final Fantasy composer Nobuo Uematsu is stepping away from the industry for a period of time so he can focus on improving his mental and physical health. In a blog post, Uematsu said he is taking an "extended leave of absence" to recover from what has been a hectic production schedule following the formation of his studio Dog Ear Records.
"Since the establishment of Dog Ear Records, I have found myself blessed with countless opportunities. From composing new works to holding concerts around the world, my days have been hectic, yet fulfilling," he said. "The resulting fatigue, however, has finally caught up with me, and I find it mentally and physically difficult to go on at my current pace. After giving serious consideration to all options, I have decided to take an extended leave of absence and give my mind and body the time they need to properly mend."
Uematsu said if he ever comes to back, he wants to do so "in full health." While he used the word "if," later in the blog post he said he expects to make a full recovery.
"Do not worry. Once I've made a full recovery, I'll be back doing what I do best," he explained. "My current plan is to rest for the remainder of the year, and while I cannot commit to a method or time frame for my return, I'm very hopeful."
Uematsu said he apologies for the "burden" that he believes his leave of absence puts on his fans and clients, adding that he hopes people understand that he has to do what's best for his health and well being. "I thank you all for your continued support and only ask that you are patient until I'm on my feet once again," he said.
Uematsu, who was born in 1959, is considered by some to be the John Williams of video games. For lots more, check out GameSpot's interview and profile of Uematsu from 2009.

Yogi, Singing bowl healer.
Born in the Spiritual Himalayan country Nepal, Chhetri has spent his childhood and mid 20`s in India. Yoga was always part of his life. He have been practicing yoga for over 20 years starting from early childhood as compulsory yoga subject in school. He was a soccer player but at the age of 15, one day during the match he broke his back and had to quit soccer. The doctor told him he would never be able to play soccer again, but with the help of Yoga he cured himself and bring back a normal life. That is why I felt the passion to teach people about yoga and its benefits. (He is now in late 30s.)
He now teaches Hatha Yoga and Tantra Yoga based on ancient style after training with Dr. Jitendra Das at Patanjali International Yoga Foundation in India. For Tantra Yoga, he trained under Yogi Prakash Dhungana in Nepal.
He is intuitive, empathetic and observant teacher. He is dedicated to teaching yoga in a way that enables students to understand for themselves, so that their practice will engage and support them mentally, emotionally and physically throughout their lives. In the class situation, the individuals will be taught in a way that is encouraging to develop their depth of perception within the practice.

Play your best and be heard!
music of expression instruments include a recorder that will record your playing with perfect accuracy. Even the keys you pressed and the settings you fiddled will animate as your performance is played back.
Upload your performances or peruse others' music. The instruments include a performance browser so you can see the best of the best, the latest, or just a random jumble of performances. Listen to them, watch their keys move, learn their tricks, and vote your conscience!
Embed Me.
You can listen and watch performances on your iPhone or iTouch. What's extra-cool about music of expression instruments is that you can listen online on your computer, too!
Our site is the first place you can hear performances. Your instrument includes a login to our forums, and you can browse and vote on performances there at your leisure. But you can also put them in e-mails to your pals, embed them in your blog, or link to them on your online resume. Go for it!
