Temperatures are rising and the water is calling! It's summer–time to get outside and enjoy the weather along with beaches, lakes, rivers, and pools. This is also the time when many dedicated sauna-goers abandon their infrared sessions for cooler activities. It seems reasonable, given that many of us use infrared heat for relaxation, and now that weather has warmed you can do the same away from home. But wait! Infrared saunas are IN for summer!
Better Heat Tolerance
Whether or not you believe climate change is a reality, it's evident that our summer temperatures seem to be rising every year. You may be a warm-weather person, but even the most heat-tolerant among us will reach a point where temps are beyond comfortable. Escaping to air-conditioned indoors becomes inevitable. For some people the AC goes on the minute the weather turns humid, and for others, it's the last resort when ice water, ceiling fans, and tank tops have failed to provide enough relief.
Enter the infrared sauna!
Each of us has a varying level of heat tolerance and depending on where you live that can vary. Once you use an infrared sauna on a regular basis, you'll notice improved endurance in warm weather or heated situations. A 20-30 minute session offers the most robust benefits. Whether it means being able to sit in the sun longer or acclimating well to indoor climates above 75 or 80 degrees Fahrenheit, infrared sessions can aid you in the long run.
A recent U.S. study done in 2021 confirmed, "Repeated sauna use acclimates the body to heat and optimizes the body's response to future exposures, likely due to a biological phenomenon known as hormesis." Hormesis at its most basic is cells adapting to a stressor, which in this case is high heat.
If you're an athlete or if you exercise often, you'll experience results differently. Being able to endure heat at higher levels will help increase performance as your body will feel less fatigued and you'll sustain energy levels longer. You'll also recover faster.
One thing is essential when experiencing heat exposure, and that is proper hydration. Read on…
H-2-O For Hydration
Everyone, from doctors to nutritionists to fitness coaches, agrees that any sauna experience should include proper hydration. This means having fluids before and even during an infrared session. Since saunas are designed for high heat penetration, the first thing your body will do is sweat, which means a loss of fluids. It's important that you're properly hydrated and replace these fluids so you don't get heat stroke and faint. It also helps aid your kidney function as it eliminates toxins.
Just like you would hydrate before or during a workout, you'll want to prep before entering the sauna. Water is best, but sports drinks will work as well.
When choosing a sports drink, be sure it has a proper amount of potassium and sodium. Drinks with electrolytes are good because they help replenish mineral loss when you sweat while also helping you absorb fluids.
Avoid caffeine and alcohol drinks, as those can actually dehydrate you and will tax your liver and kidneys further. Stick to water and you'll feel rejuvenated and refreshed once your sauna session is complete.
When your sauna session is over and you've dried off, you should definitely reach for some water if you didn't have any during your session. While you might not feel thirsty immediately, your body will definitely thank you.
So, you've built your heat tolerance, stayed hydrated and you're feeling much more energetic? Great! Let's talk about another way setting regular sauna visits can help during summer.
Boost Immunity Before Winter
As soon as the summer ends and the weather starts to cool off again, you'll start to see flyers for flu shots and commercials for cough medicine. Winter seems to hail the onset of viruses as if it's just part of the cycle of life. But it doesn't have to be!
What infrared can help with, and science has confirmed, is building our immune defenses. But why wait until fall or winter to start enhancing your health? By taking time to use your sauna every week during summer, you can ensure a hardier immune system. Imagine sailing through winter with nary a sniffle. Wouldn't that be great?
The way that infrared saunas can help is fairly simple. As your core temperature heats up, your cells, like when you have a fever, start to have an immune response. Of course, you also want to maintain a good diet and incorporate exercise into your lifestyle, but an infrared sauna is a great tool to jumpstart and maintain good health.
Take advantage of summer downtime and don't let your sauna gather dust—get in and stay healthy. Remember, infrared saunas are in for summer.
Sauna Best Practices
Do drink water before, during, and even after a sauna session, since you'll deplete fluids via sweat
Do try to spend an average of 20 minutes per session to get the most benefits from infrared heat penetration
Do rinse or towel off after a sauna session, since salts produced via sweat can clog pores
Do follow any medical guidelines if you have health conditions, before using the sauna
Do use the sauna after exercise or sports participation as a way to recover quicker and to relax muscles
Do enjoy the sauna as a way to build heat tolerance, especially during warmer weather months
Don't drink alcohol or caffeine drinks before or during your sauna session as they'll dehydrate you
Don't eat an hour or two before a sauna session as food will require energy for digestion and your heart will already be working harder from the intense heat
Don't start off with long sessions if you're new to saunas, rather limit sessions to 5-10 minutes or lower the temperature in your sauna as you get started
Health Mate offers a variety of saunas, some that are portable and use a smaller footprint, others that can offer the comfort of cabin space. Make sauna sessions social by inviting a friend with a larger, two- or three-person model. There's an affordable sauna for every lifestyle.

Retirement-Plan Firms See Money in Nonprofits
BOSTON, December 4, 2009, TheStreet.com — Federal regulations are shaping how nonprofit organizations manage employee benefit plans for the first time in almost 45 years.
As a result, companies are scrambling to meet the Dec. 31 deadline for compliance. Retirement-management firms have scoped out a new opportunity. MassMutual, for example, recorded a 76% increase in nonprofit-retirement-plan sales in the year through October.

Richard M. Nixon was a traitor
(Image by (From Wikimedia) Unknown author or not provided, Author: Unknown author or not provided) Details Source DMCA
The new release of extended versions of Nixon's papers now confirms this long-standing belief, usually dismissed as a "conspiracy theory" by Republican conservatives. Now it has been substantiated by none other than right-wing columnist George Will.
Nixon's newly revealed records show for certain that in 1968, as a presidential candidate, he ordered Anna Chennault, his liaison to the South Vietnam government, to persuade them refuse a cease-fire being brokered by President Lyndon Johnson.
Nixon's interference with these negotiations violated President John Adams's 1797 Logan Act, banning private citizens from intruding into official government negotiations with a foreign nation.
Published as the 40th Anniversary of Nixon's resignation approaches, Will's column confirms that Nixon feared public disclosure of his role in sabotaging the 1968 Vietnam peace talks. Will says Nixon established a "plumbers unit" to stop potential leaks of information that might damage him, including documentation he believed was held by the Brookings Institute, a liberal think tank. The Plumbers' later break-in at the Democratic National Committee led to the Watergate scandal that brought Nixon down.
Nixon's sabotage of the Vietnam peace talks was confirmed by transcripts of FBI wiretaps. On November 2, 1968, LBJ received an FBI report saying Chernnault told the South Vietnamese ambassador that "she had received a message from her boss: saying the Vietnamese should "hold on, we are gonna win."
As Will confirms, Vietnamese did "hold on," the war proceeded and Nixon did win, changing forever the face of American politics----with the shadow of treason permanently embedded in its DNA.
The treason came in 1968 as the Vietnam War reached a critical turning point. President Lyndon Johnson was desperate for a truce between North and South Vietnam.
LBJ had an ulterior motive: his Vice President, Hubert Humphrey, was in a tight presidential race against Richard Nixon. With demonstrators in the streets, Humphrey desperately needed a cease-fire to get him into the White House.
Johnson had it all but wrapped it. With a combination of gentle and iron-fisted persuasion, he forced the leaders of South Vietnam into an all-but-final agreement with the North. A cease-fire was imminent, and Humphrey's election seemed assured.
But at the last minute, the South Vietnamese pulled out. LBJ suspected Nixon had intervened to stop them from signing a peace treaty.
In the Price of Power (1983), Seymour Hersh revealed Henry Kissinger---then Johnson's advisor on Vietnam peace talks---secretly alerted Nixon's staff that a truce was imminent.
According to Hersh, Nixon "was able to get a series of messages to the Thieu government [of South Vietnam] making it clear that a Nixon presidency would have different views on peace negotiations."
Johnson was livid. He even called the Republican Senate Minority Leader, Everett Dirksen, to complain that "they oughtn't be doing this. This is treason."
"I know," was Dirksen's feeble reply.
Johnson blasted Nixon about this on November 3, just prior to the election. As Robert Parry of consortiumnews.com has written: "when Johnson confronted Nixon with evidence of the peace-talk sabotage, Nixon insisted on his innocence but acknowledged that he knew what was at stake."
Said Nixon: "My, I would never do anything to encourage".Saigon not to come to the table".Good God, we've got to get them to Paris or you can't have peace."

The best Mac keyboard might cost a little more, but it's a very worthwhile investment indeed. Consider the number of hours you spend typing at your Mac, and you'll realize how spending a little bit more will pay off over time, in terms of both health and productivity.
A decent Mac keyboard will feel comfortable to type on, even during long sessions. It will pair with your Mac wirelessly, so you don't have lots of trailing wires cluttering up the place. And it will be light, compact, and nice to look at.
All the Mac keyboards on our list fulfil these criteria. Beyond that, some offer extra features such as backlighting and programmable keys. And we'll give you all the facts and figures you need to choose between them.
The best Mac keyboard in 2023
Why you can trust Digital Camera World Our expert reviewers spend hours testing and comparing products and services so you can choose the best for you. Find out how we test.
The best Apple accessories aren't always the official ones from Apple. And that's certainly the case when it comes to keyboards. This device from Logitech isn't just cheaper than Apple's Magic Keyboard, it's superior too. Why? Because it has more comfortable keys, it's more customizable, and it has neat backlighting too.
For us, the killer feature is the ability to remap any and all of the F-row keys, as well as others, to operations that particularly suit your workflow. That can really save you time and energy over the long term, especially if you primarily use your Mac for work. We also like how you can turn off the backlighting to save battery life, and that there's a number pad for those long spreadsheet sessions.
All this makes this the best Mac keyboard for Mac Mini, the best Mac keyboard for MacBook users, the best Mac keyboard for Mac Studio… you get the picture. In short, whatever Mac you have, this is our top recommendation.
If money is tight, then check out the Logitech K380, the best cheap Mac keyboard you can get right now. Its circular keys look great, and have a slight curvature that makes them very comfortable to type on. It can pair with up to three devices via Bluetooth, and it's lightweight and slim, making it very portable.
On the downside, this keyboard runs on two AAA batteries (included), rather than rechargeable ones. Also there's no backlighting, no number pad, and only very limited customisation. However at this low price, you're still getting a quite excellent keyboard overall.
If you have one of the latest M1 Macs, such as the Mac Studio or the 2020 Mac mini, you'll have a fingerprint sensor called Touch ID. It's a quick, easy and super-secure way to turn on your Mac, and so you'll want a keyboard that supports it. To oblige that wish, the latest version of Apple's Magic Keyboard comes with Touch ID, and as you'd expect, it works brilliantly and effortlessly.
Even if you're not bothered about Touch ID, though, this wireless and rechargeable keyboard is well worth considering. It comes with all the streamlined aesthetics Apple is known for, offers a first-class typing experience, and it's an improvement (albeit a subtle one) on the 2017 version of the Apple Magic Keyboard, number 8 on our list. The main changes are that the keys are more tactile and new shortcut keys have been added.
More broadly, this keyboard comes with all the advantages of an official Apple product; there's no question that it will play nicely with your Mac. Note, though, that there's no backlight or number pad.
Do you spend a lot of time with creative software, doing tasks like photo and video editing? Then you may find a control wheel will save you time and improve your creativity. In which case, our top recommendation is the Logitech Craft Illuminated Wireless Keyboard.
Its control wheel – a dial in the top-left corner – adapts to the app you're using, and lets you make tiny adjustments, very easily, to images, videos and graphics. It might take a little time to set up, but it can save you a lot of time and frustration compared with just clicking the keys. Just be aware that not all software is supported; you're out of luck, for example, if you use GIMP.
More broadly, we love the low-profile scissor keys on this keyboard, which are nice and comfortable to use. You also get a number pad. Plus there's backlighting, which is turned on by proximity sensors, and adjusts automatically to the lighting levels in your room.
If you do a lot of fast typing every day, you run the risk of developing pain and RSI in the long term. So it's worth thinking about an ergonomic keyboard that's intelligently laid out to reduce the strain on your fingers and improve your posture.
Our favourite is the Logitech Ergo K860. It's split into two halves, which are set at an angle. It looks quite odd, but it does really make for more comfortable and relaxed typing once you're used to it. We also love the built-in wrist rest, the adjustable legs for setting the keyboard at the best possible angle, and the fact you can reprogramme the function keys.
The only downside is that this keyboard takes AAA batteries, which can't be recharged. That said, two are included, which are claimed to last up to two years.
Looking for a light and portable Mac keyboard you can carry virtually anywhere? Then the Logitech MX Keys Mini is our top choice.
It's a similar size and weight to our budget pick, Logitech K380 (number two on our list), but it's a better keyboard overall. Most notably, it takes rechargeable batteries rather than disposable ones, it has good backlighting, and you can remap more of the keys.
In general, this keyboard offers a great typing experience, and the backlighting turns on automatically in the dark, and off when you haven't typed in a while. Be warned, though, that there's no number pad.
If you've got a pre-M1 Mac that doesn't support TouchID, then the latest version of Apple's Magic Keyboard (number 3 on our list) will be overkill. And even if you have an M1 Mac, if you're not bothered about using a fingerprint sensor, you may prefer to save cash and buy this earlier Magic Keyboard anyway.
After all, this 2017 version comes with a numeric keypad that will really make life easier if you spend a lot of time typing numbers into spreadsheets. It also has larger arrow keys, which makes it the obvious choice for gamers, and anyone who uses the arrow keys a lot in their day-to-day software workflow.
Have a pre-M1 Mac and aren't bothered about a number pad or large arrow keys? Then there's an Apple Magic Keyboard for you that's even more affordable. It's much smaller and lighter, too, than the number pad version (number 7) on our list, making it a great choice for portability. And you still get all the sleek Apple looks, perfect compatibility and comfortable typing experience that you'll find throughout the Magic Keyboard range.

Penn breaks ground on $200M outpatient center in Radnor
The equipment alone is expected to cost $45 million.
The University of Pennsylvania Health System on Friday broke ground on a $200 million outpatient center in Radnor, at the former Wyeth Laboratories site at 145 King of Prussia Rd. it bought in 2015 for $34 million.
The 250,000 square-foot medical building, expected to open in 2020, is twice as big as Penn's current outpatient site in Radnor. The development will include a 1,000-car garage. The equipment alone, including radiation oncology and chemotherapy facilities, is expected to cost $44 million, said Kevin B. Mahoney, the health system's chief administrative officer said.
Penn sold close to half of the 35 acres to Brandywine Realty Trust for $18.25 million. The site plan calls for Brandywine to build a 150,000 square-foot office building and a hotel projected to have 100 rooms.

by Richard Bernstein, Richard Bernstein Advisors LLC, www.RBAdvisors.com
Each December we publish a list of investment themes that we feel are critical to the coming year.
Here are our themes for 2014:
1) The US stock market continues its bull run.
Rationale: We continue to believe that the US stock market may be in the midst of one of the biggest bull markets of our careers. It seems odd to us that investors seem to disregard the existence of a stock market cycle despite that the rotations and leadership in the US market have followed the normal historical pattern. Indicators that have historically been reliable forecasters of bear markets still seem quite benign. The yield curve remains positively sloped, valuation appears normal for this point in the cycle, and sentiment remains very attractive according to our models. Although stocks in 2014 might not provide returns as high as those during 2013, the US stock market's return might be above average in 2014.
2) Japan outperforms emerging markets – The Currency Wars Begin.
Rationale: As of the date of this report, the Nikkei 225's YTD total return of roughly 53% has far outpaced the MSCI Emerging Market's -1%. We think Japan is likely to outperform emerging markets again during 2014. The aftershocks of the global credit bubble (i.e., massive global overcapacity and falling productivity in the emerging markets) could result in currency wars. Our bullishness on Japan in 2013 was based on a falling Yen, and we think Japan may be the first country to recognize that countries must compete on price (i.e., depreciating currency) in the absence of improving demographics and productivity. Although consensus return expectations for Japan do not seem conservative, we still believe that investors have yet to fully recognize the significant structural headwinds facing the emerging markets.
3) European small cap stocks lead global equity performance.
Rationale: The European economic recovery has lagged the US during this cycle, which is typical by historical standards. Smaller capitalization stocks tend to lead markets during most early-cycle periods. In addition, smaller capitalization European stocks currently have the world's strongest 12-month earnings growth forecast, yet few investors seem aware of these superior growth prospects.
4) High yield municipals lead the bond market.
Rationale: We like to search for gaps between perception and reality, and there seems to be a wide gap regarding municipal bond fundamentals. Whereas investors seem quite wary of municipals, municipal finances are generally getting stronger. Investors also seem very concerned that interest rates will rise, but an increase in interest rates can actually improve pension funding status (the present value of future liabilities shrinks as interest rates rise). Because of such factors, high yield municipal bonds might lead bond market performance during 2014.
5) Gold falls below $1,000.
Rationale: Investors often think of gold as a hedge against inflation, and history suggests that abnormally high inflation rates are often stimulated by strong credit growth. However, the global credit bubble is deflating, and developed economies' inflation rates continue to fall without credit's fuel. We can understand Yen-based investors' interest in gold as the Japanese economy reflates (see #2), but we think US-dollar based investors should emphasize financial assets rather than real assets like gold. In USD terms, we think gold will continue its bear market, and could fall below $1,000/oz.
6) The American Industrial Renaissance continues.
Rationale: Smaller, domestically-focused US industrial and manufacturing companies have been gaining market share, and we think that trend is likely to continue. Energy costs, productivity, transportation costs, quality control, political stability, and labor costs are some of the contributing factors. Despite the significant outperformance of these small and mid-cap companies in 2013, we feel the investment theme remains in its early stages and expect the theme to outperform again in 2014.
7) The Fed stays on hold much longer than investors expect.
Rationale: Contrary to popular belief, the Fed has historically been a lagging, not a leading, indicator. The Fed has said that policy changes will be "data dependent" during this cycle (what exactly were they in past cycles if not data dependent?), and we interpret that to mean that Fed policy changes may lag more than they did in previous cycles. The fear of replaying 2008 is not only still central in investors' minds, it is apparently still central to the Fed's decisions. If our assertions are correct, then stock market valuations could be higher and volatility could be lower than investors currently expect.
8) Investors realize that the term "Liquid Alts" may be an oxymoron.
Rationale: During the early-1990s, I argued that illiquidity was one of the reasons alternative investments outperformed. Investors did not have ready access to their funds, and had to receive higher returns than available in liquid investments as compensation for taking illiquidity risk. Within that context, the term "liquid alternatives" seems like an oxymoron. Basic financial theory suggests that liquid alternatives should provide inferior return/risk potential versus illiquid alternatives. Ongoing fears of replaying 2008's bear market suggest to us that investors may be paying too much for liquidity, and that liquid alternatives' returns could be inferior to those of plain old-fashioned stocks.
9) The king has no clothes: high quality stocks underperform.
Rationale: Many investors believe that quality stocks outperform over the long- term. Unfortunately, there is little objective data to support that contention. Rather, there is substantial evidence that "bad" companies have historically tended to make "good" investments over the long-term. Much like in #7 and #8 above, 2008's lingering fears have led investors toward more conservative, higher quality stocks. We think that trend might reverse during 2014.
10) Small banks.
Rationale: Bubbles create capacity that typically isn't needed once the bubble deflates. The expansion of bank balance sheets was the capacity created during the credit bubble. Larger banks' balance sheets ballooned during the credit bubble, but their balance sheets have yet to fully contract. Smaller bank balance sheets seem much better aligned to the post-bubble credit world. The S&P SmallCap 600® Bank index outperformed the S&P 500® Bank index by roughly 15 percentage points so far during 2013. We expect smaller banks to again outperform larger banks in 2014.

Tony Iommi Monkey '64 Gibson Guitar SG Special Replica
Tony Iommi: Tony Iommi Monkey '64 Gibson Guitar SG Special Replica
It certainly became a classic, once I used it, I never went back to any other guitar. It was on the first four albums. You put yourself into it to make it what you want, so that was really special.
Tony Iommi's iconic riffs, heavy tones and massively-influential albums created the blueprint for heavy metal and many other genres to follow. His career, like the man himself, is universally loved and revered. And while his innovative tuning and playing styles were a major part of his monstrous tones, a Gibson SG named "Monkey" was at the center of it all. This heavily-modified 1964 SG Special was used extensively with the original lineup of Black Sabbath, heard on every album and tour of the 1970s.
No detail was overlooked in the construction and aging, telling the complete story of the "Monkey" from the zero fret to the stop tailpiece bushings to the legendary pickups, which were hand-made in the UK by the apprentice of the late John Birch. Each guitar includes an exclusive replica of Tony's silver cross necklace with a coffin case, a replica of Tony's leather touring guitar strap, a 1960s replica case and a Certificate of Authenticity.

Bucharest "the little Paris" of Eastern Europe!? Really?
So many cafes and restaurants with similar names… "little paris", "Paris bistro"… and i didn't understand why? It seemed strange to me, because Bucharest is absolutely no Paris! I was trying to observe the french influence in the architecure, but unfortnately i didn't make it.
The capital of Romania took the nick name "little Paris" between World War 1 and World War 2, because of the city's elegant architecture. Nowdays the historical city centre was listed as "endangered" by the World Monuments Watch. Bucharest, especially in the southern part of the city has no sufficient green space, because of high density block of flats. Although has also many parks , as Herăstrău Park and Carol Park.
I have been in Bucharest before three weeks with my friends and though we stayed only for 3 days, we had enough time to relax and enjoy our stay. The capital of Romania has lots of neo-baroque and neo-Romanesque buldings throughout the city and many landmark monuments. Stavroupoleos monastery is one of them, the orthodox church with great architectural value. The church was built in 1724 and is dedicated to archangel michael and gabriel. The name of the church is a rendition of the Greek word stauropolis. The wall paintings and the old icons dominate the atmosphere.
The most prominent of these landmark buildings is the ashtonishing palace of Parliament, which is the second largest administrative building in the world after Pentagon. Built in the 1980s during the reign of Communist dictator Nicolae Ceaușescu. It was constructed almost entirely of materials of Romanian origin. Building costs were estimated at €3 billion and it covers an area of 365,000 m2.
Other places to visit in Bucharest: Revolution square, the Triumph Arch, the village museum, the Romanian Atheneum and of course the Herăstrău Park . The last one is really lovely in spring or summer period because you can walk along the flowering trees and see lots of people take a walk, cycling or have a picknick.
Within Bucharest, walking is the easiest way to get around the old city, but you can also use the metro, which is also reasonably good.
To tell you the truth Bucharest did not impressed me a lot, but i have to admit that the nightlife is one of its main attractions. Old center bars and clubs give a wide range of choices. Bucharest is not an expensive country. The prices are low and cheap, although you have to make reservations! So book your table in advance in restaurants, bars and clubs!
Where to eat:
Have fun and dont forget that "A journey is best measured in friends, rather than miles."

Saved by the Max, Chicago's insanely popular re-creation of the Bayside High gang's favorite hangout, the Max Diner, has announced it's departing the Windy City for a cross-country tour. An announcement tweeted by the restaurant has none other than Mr. Belding on hand to give the important news, meaning the restaurant could be safely and responsibly landing in a city near you very soon:
Where exactly is still up in the air. The restaurant says it will stick around in Chicago for one more "semester" (that would be May, which also aligns with the official SBTB school calendar), but that superfans should start campaigning now if they want to eat Mac and Screech while swooning over Zack Attack in their hometowns. The operation's masterminds seem pretty pumped about the tour. Like Zack always said about graduating high school, the best thing is once you leave, you don't have to come back.

Five teachers from Quebec are visiting Merton this week to learn about the British education system and how it operates in Merton schools.
The visit follows a trip to Quebec by a group of Merton teachers in February of this year as part of the Teachers International Professional Development (TIPD) programme organised by the British Council and funded by the Department for Children, Schools and Families (DCSF).
The aim of the initiative is to allow teachers in England to experience alternative educational practice in different countries around the world.
The Canadian teachers arrived at the council yesterday where they met with officers in the Children, Schools and Families Department and the Leader of the Council – Cllr David Williams – to discuss similarities and differences between schools in Canada and Britain.
They will continue their experience this week with visits to individual Merton primary and secondary schools where they will get first hand experience of how the British education system works in the borough.
Councillor Debbie Shears, cabinet member for children's services says: "This initiative has been a great way for our teachers to exchange knowledge and experience with other professionals who place high priority on putting the educational needs and opportunities of children first.
"Our teachers brought home with them a number of good, practical examples of how they could improve systems here in Merton from their visit to Quebec earlier this year. We're sure that this current trip will also be a rich source of knowledge for our Canadian friends.
"These types of opportunities allow us to continue driving up educational standards in Merton and we hope to maintain strong links between Merton and Quebec schools in the future."
