In the DAMS, Talk to Jim Raines
BOONDOOMA DAM; Golden perch and a few bass are biting on spinner baits and masks cast to the timber in the Stuart River and they are also biting on purple and white coloured hard bodied lures trolled in the main basin. Smak 12s and 16s were the most productive.
BJELKE PETERSEN DAM; Golden perch are biting on trolled spinner baits around the timber in the upper reaches. They are biting on live bait close to the points in the main basin and also they' re biting on trolled purple and dark green coloured hard bodied lures around Treasure Island.
HINZE DAM; Bass are biting on trolled green and purple coloured hard bodied lures in about 3m of water, Saratoga are being caught at dawn and dusk on surface lures around the dam edges and it would be worth a go for golden perch on live shrimp too. J. R.

This last week, I found out I had a heart murmur. I went to the clinic on a Wednesday. It was just like any old day: cold and bright, very blue, trees with no leaves, and the normal amount of traffic. I was thinking about meeting Amy at the gym after and about what I was making for dinner later---a grilled sandwich with roasted chicken, apple, cheddar, and spinach. It was just a yearly checkup, a physical that I had forgotten
to schedule for, ah, a couple years. I felt the normal amount of anticipation---will they draw blood? Shots? Something else?
During my physical, after a thorough listening (a bit longer than usual) of the thumps and rushing sounds in her stethoscope, the doctor pronounced that I had a heart murmur and promptly scheduled me for an echocardiogram on Friday.
I didn't even know what a heart murmur was except that it didn't sound like something healthy. Heart problems were not an issue I had struggled with before. This was strange. Amy and I decided to skip the gym that day, and I went home and googled murmurs and ate my planned sandwich. I found out that they are this:
"...abnormal sounds during your heartbeat cycle that are often caused by defective heart valves or leaks. A valve may be unable to close completely. This leads to regurgitation, which is blood leaking backward through the valve when it should be closed."
I guess over 90% of people have mild heart murmurs (according to the internet), so I was more intrigued than worried when I arrived at my echocardiogram appointment at 7:45am on Friday morning. I skipped coffee on the way as I assumed caffeine might speed things up a bit and make me jittery. It wasn't until after checking in, after the waiting room, when I was lying down, staring at my heart on an ultrasound screen, that I started to feel a bit anxious. The technician zoomed in and out, highlighting the width and length of atriums and veins, took screen shots of sound waves, and recorded snapshot after snapshot from different angles. I didn't feel like that was actually my heart that she was looking at. It was strange to see the organ that keeps me alive in such a scientific state. I could see valves opening and closing and heat waves where my blood was flowing. I suddenly felt fragile and very real.
After thirty minutes, I began to notice that the technician was repeatedly zooming in on one particular area of my heart. Now, let me assure you, most of the time, it was pretty much the same as when you're looking at an ultrasound of a baby and you're like, "I see it! .....Wait.....nope. I don't. Looks like nothing." But after watching her enlarge and highlight the same picture over and over again, I thought, that's it, there's a problem.
"So, uh," I managed my most casual voice, "How's it lookin?"
"I can't report any findings to you as it can turn into a liability issue. Only the doctors can diagnose." She continued drawing graph lines and taking snapshots.
"Oh, okay. Makes sense." I stared at the ceiling.
"But," She looked at me after a minute or so, "I'm not seeing anything here that's making me run out of the room screaming to the doctors."
"Oh." I felt a bit more calm, "Well, that's good I guess."
After forty-five minutes, everything was finished, and she let me know that it looked like I had a small leak in my pulmonary valve, but nothing was certain until the doctor called. I was hugging my hospital gown to myself because, as we all know, they never seem to put the ties in the right places.
'You'll hear back in a week," she said as she pulled off her rubber gloves and washed her hands.
Drew was waiting for me in the waiting room when I was finished which was a real consolation the whole time---just to know that another body was present and knew what was happening. We stopped for coffee and then went on our separate ways to work.
I was lucky, because instead of waiting a week like the technician had said, I ended up only having to wait four hours. It was such a comfort when I heard the words normal and benign come through the receiver on my end of the call. I was free and clear! Nothing was wrong. Nothing would be affected, and I could continue on living my life just as I had before. There was great rejoicing via text message and phone call with multiple people after I heard the news.
I still felt fragile, though. I still do. Truly delicate because the abstract way I had always thought of a heart, and heart rates, and blood in valves and atriums, and the way it travels in and out is now very actual to me. It scares me how tangible I feel after all of that, but in a good way---I feel very, very alive. I feel rather amazed that God put organs and muscle and tissue inside of me, and they are just things, objects I could hold in my hand, yet they keep me living and thinking and feeling grand emotions. I can yawn because of them and hear people whisper or sing, and I can watch rain on a dark street or feel cold sheets in bed. I am very aware of most everything right now.
This is just a story of what happened last week, and I thought you should know.

Information About Pediatric Dentistry
General information, tips and suggestions!
What is a Pediatric Dentist?
In the same way that pediatricians are trained to meet a child's medical needs, our pediatric dental specialists are uniquely qualified to protect your child's oral health using the most advanced techniques, and all in our friendly open treatment area. Pediatric dentists have an additional two to three years of training at university pediatric facilities in addition to four years of dental school and four years of college study. They learn how to deal with the behavioral aspects of children, how to make them feel comfortable and to make the experience pleasant. They also are trained and qualified to treat special needs patients.
Why are Baby Teeth Important?
Primary teeth are important because they help with proper chewing and eating, speech development, and add to an attractive appearance. A child who can chew easily, speak clearly, and smile confidently is a happier child. Healthy primary teeth allow normal development of the jaw bones and muscles, save space for the permanent teeth, and guide them into place. If a baby tooth is lost too soon, permanent teeth may come in crooked. Decayed baby teeth can cause pain, abscesses, and infections that can damage the developing permanent teeth. Also, your child's general health can be affected if diseased baby teeth aren't treated. Remember, some primary molars are not replaced until age 10-14, so they must last for years.
At what age should my child first see a dentist?
If possible, your child's first visit should be scheduled at their first birthday or after the eruption of their first tooth. The earlier regular visits begin, the better chance you and your dentist have to prevent problems. In addition to checking for decay and proper growth, the dentist will teach you how to properly clean your child's teeth daily, evaluate any adverse habits, and identify your child's fluoride needs. Habits are hard to break, so start your child off right with a healthy habit of proper dental care!
How often should my child see the dentist?
It is generally recommended that children visit the dentist every six months. Depending on the dental needs of your child, Dr. Jackson will set a schedule of visits customized to your child. Some of the factors that effect the frequency of visits are: initial condition of your child's teeth, oral hygiene and eating habits.
What to Expect During Your First Visit
Your child's first set of teeth are extremely important. Starting out on the right foot in your child's dental care is crucial for a lifetime of healthy teeth and gums. Strong, healthy primary teeth help your child chew food easily, learn to speak clearly, and look good. Neglected primary teeth can lead to general health problems and many missed days of school. Preventive services such as fluoride treatments and sealants are less costly than the fillings, crowns and other treatments that your child may need if the teeth are neglected. Dr. Jackson can help your young child look forward to a lifetime of healthy teeth and a great smile.
How should I prepare my child for their first visit?
You play an important role in preparing your child for his first visit to us. The first visit to the dentist can determine your child's attitude towards dental visits for years to come. Be relaxed and at ease with your child. Any anxiety on your part will be sensed by your child. Tell your child that we will "count" and possibly "take pictures" of his teeth, and then talk afterwards about it. Don't use words that may create fear in your child such as "hurt, shot, drill, X-ray, or needle". Don't relate any negative experiences you may have had as a child, and don't let other people tell your child stories that may provoke fear.
Is it ok for children to cry?
Crying is a normal reaction to almost any kind of anxiety in a young child. New experiences, strange people and places fit in that category for the very young. Please do not let your child's occasional tears upset you as it is very common and we anticipate crying in some small children. The more relaxed we ( parent and dental staff ) are at that time, the sooner the child will overcome his/her anxiety.
Pointers for Parents!
* Try to make dental visits enjoyable for your child, we'll help!
* Set a good example! Brush and Floss your own teeth daily, and visit the dentist regularly.
* Bribe your child into going to the dentist.
* Use a dental visit as a punishment.
* Let the child know you feel any anxiety about going to the dentist.
* Let anyone tell your child scary stories about dental visits.
* Use words like hurt, pain, needle, drill, shot, etc.
Tooth Brushing/Flossing
Brush 2 X day for 2 minutes. Floss daily. We can help you with tips and techniques.
Tooth decay is the most widespread dental disease among children, but is also the most preventable. Sealants are one of the most effective methods of preventing tooth decay. Sealants are made of clear or shaded resin and are applied to the chewing surface of the tooth. Brushing and flossing are effective in most cases, but the back teeth tend to have depressions and grooves which can be difficult, if not impossible, to clean. Sealants are used to fill these depressions so that decay cannot start. The addition of a sealant to an active oral hygiene regime can significantly reduce the occurrence of tooth decay. The application of a sealant is quick and painless, taking only one visit. Research shows that sealants can be effective for many years. If your child has good oral hygiene and avoids biting hard objects, sealants will last even longer. Early application of a sealant can protect your child throughout the most cavity-prone years and lay the foundation for a lifetime of dental health and a beautiful smile. Sealants are very affordable and are covered by most dental insurance programs. Over the course of your child's life, sealants actually save you money by preventing more expensive (and painful) tooth problems.
Sugar is everywhere! Children should be eating a balanced diet. The American Heart Association recommends that children eat no more than 18 grams of sugar per day. A high sugar diet increases a child's risk for dental decay as does a diet high in carbohydrates. Parents should avoid sticky snacks such as dried fruits, gummy bears and gummy vitamins as these foods stick in the grooves of teeth and increase the risk of dental decay.
You've probably noticed just how important your baby's mouth is to them. Babies use their mouth for the obvious things, like eating and communicating their needs, but also for expressing feelings, exploring their world, and for their own personal security. Here we will take you through some of the important dental milestones you will go through with your baby, and teach you some of the things you can do to safeguard your baby's dental health. Sucking is an important and satisfying activity which is a normal part of a baby's development - most babies suck on their fingers or thumbs before they are born. At a young age sucking helps strengthen and develop the oral muscles, which in turn helps position their teeth in the proper position as they appear. It doesn't really matter if your child sucks on their fingers or a pacifier. If your child uses a pacifier, follow these tips: * It should be designed for safety! It should be constructed in one piece of a flexible but firm non-toxic material. The nipple and mouthguard should not be separate. * It should also have an easily held handle or grip. The mouthguard should contain ventilating holes, and the pacifier should be large enough to prevent it from being sucked into baby's mouth. * NEVER tie the pacifier around your baby's neck. Each year babies die of strangulation from pacifier laces. * The pacifier should be kept clean. Always wash it before giving it to a baby. If it wears out, get a new one. * Never sweeten it by putting honey or sugar on the nipple. This can cause baby bottle tooth decay, and cause serious damage to your child's teeth. * A pacifier or thumb habit can change the position of your child's teeth. Most children give up the sucking habit at 3 or 4 years of age. If your child hasn't, they may need help with their oral habit. See your pediatric dentist!
If your children are active and play sports, mouthguards should be tops on your equipment list. Of all sports injuries, those to the teeth, lips, gums and tongue are the most preventable, yet some of the most common. A properly fitted, high quality mouthpiece can protect your child against tooth, lip and jaw injuries and prevent concussions. Any mouthguard is better than none at all, but there are several reasons why a professionally fitted, custom-made mouthpiece is a better choice than a cheaper commercially available model. These "boil and bite" mouthguards are sized to fit the largest variety of mouth types and don't fit very well in any particular mouth - like your child's. In order to improve fit, you must boil the guard to soften the material and then bite down on it to form an impression of your teeth. Unfortunately, this displaces most of the protective material so that you are actually getting little or no protection. Our custom made, professionally fitted mouthguards are formed to exactly fit your child's teeth. They are more comfortable, longer lasting and provide a greater level of protection. Though a custom mouthguard is moderately more expensive than a generic one, they can be cost effective over time - a broken tooth can cost as much as $2,000 to repair.
Early Childhood Decay
Early Childhood Decay is a common problem in our community. Early intervention is the key to preventing catastrophic infections or problems with the baby teeth. If your child has dark yellow or brown areas present on their teeth, they should be checked immediately.
Silver Diamine Fluoride
You many have heard of a treatment option called silver diamine fluoride (SDF). SDF is a liquid that can be painlessly brushed on a cavity on a child's tooth to stop decay. You might want to consider SDF for cavities if your child is young or has special needs. SDF can help delay more extensive procedures such as drilling to fill a cavity or sedation until a child is older. Keep in mind that SDF blackens the decayed part of the tooth, leaving it discolored, and that Dr. Jackson will need to monitor the cavity periodically to ensure that it has stopped growing. If your child's cavity is on a baby tooth that will eventually fall out, or if the tooth is in the back of the mouth where it is hard to see, SDF might be a good option.
While brushing twice a day and flossing is the best way to keep little teeth healty, cavities do happen!
X-rays are a necessary tool to diagnose and treat dental decay. We use a digital x-ray to decrease the exposure to radiation as well as a lead apron shield with a thyroid collar. Our office uses the ALARA(AS LOW AS REASONABLY ACHIEVABLE) technique. This means we only take x-rays that are really needed.
Dr. Jackson's office provides in office anesthesia to those children who are not able to comfortably tolerate routine care in an awake office setting. Dr. Jackson's pediatric dental office is the only office in Santa Cruz that provides dental care under general anesthesia using a pediatric anesthesiologist from the Children's Anesthesia Medical Group. These pediatric anesthesiologists are highly skilled, extensively trained physicians who provide anesthesia services to infants and children everyday at Children's Hospital Oakland and the offices of twenty pediatric dentists. All have subspecialty (fellowship) training in pediatric anesthesia.
What is the difference between conscious sedation and general anesthesia?Conscious sedation is the use of medication to "take the edge off", but requires that your child be awake (conscious) during the procedure. When conscious sedation fails or is considered inappropriate for the nature or amount of dental work, deep sedation or general anesthesia is recommended. With the use of modern, short-acting anesthetics, children are just as awake and alert after general anesthesia as they are after conscious sedation. Our office does not offer conscious sedation. If this is the appropriate treatment recommendation for your child, we will likely refer your child to an office that offers this service.
How does general anesthesia work?After it is recommended that your child have deep sedation or general anesthesia, your pediatric anesthesiologist will contact you for a pre-anesthetic evaluation. On the day of the dental visit, your child will be given an oral medication that will make him or her less anxious and more comfortable for their separation and dental procedure. Following this, medication is given to deepen sedation so that your child is no longer awake. Special care is given to protect the airway and to ensure the continuous delivery of oxygen to your child. State-of-the-art technology is used to monitor your child's electrocardiogram, oxygen level, expired carbon dioxide, and blood pressure. This is the same level of monitoring that we use in a hospital operating room or surgery center.
Who should sedate your child?We recommend that a physician (an MD) who is a pediatric anesthesiologist care for your child if he or she requires deep sedation or general anesthesia. These physicians have the most training and experience with the use of medications used to sedate and treat pain in children. Their experience makes them highly capable of detecting subtle changes or treating the rare complications, should they arise.
What is the cost?Anesthesia services provided by a pediatric anesthesiologist in the dental office will be considerably less expensive than the fee in a surgery center or hospital. Anesthesia fees are based on the length of time of the procedure; a detailed estimate will be provided ahead of time. We ask that you cover the expense the day of the procedure. If your dental insurance will authorize part or all of the anesthesia fee, our billing office can aid you in coordinating reimbursement. They can also arrange credit card payments.
General Information
Special children sometimes need special attention to dental hygiene. Some children are very susceptible to tooth decay, gum disease or oral trauma. Others require medication or diets that are, unfortunately, detrimental to dental health. Still other children have physical difficulty with effective dental habits at home. Dr. Jackson and her staff are trained specifically in dental care for mentally and physically disabled children. Dr. Jackson will customize a preventive strategy tailored to fit the special needs of your child. Our office is designed to be physically accessible to special children. In cases where your child needs to visit our office for treatment, we are able to provide personalized services.
Sterilization Standards
We are as concerned about your child's health as you are. That's why our office meets or exceeds all government standards for sterilization. * All instruments capable of withstanding high heat are autoclaved (steam-sterilized) which kills infectious bacteria and viruses. The autoclaves are tested weekly to insure that they are operating properly. * All handpieces (drills) and burs (drill bits) are autoclaved after each use. * Many items are single-use and are disposed of after each patient. This includes all syringes (needles) and saliva ejectors (the plastic tips on the suction tube which are placed in the mouth to remove saliva). * The rubber cups which hold the paste used to polish your teeth are disposed of after each use. * Gloves and masks are worn to prevent transmission of disease between you and our staff. Gloves are never used on more than one patient. * All surfaces are disinfected with a chemical solution again formulated to kill infectious bacteria, spores, and viruses. Barriers (paper covers, etc.) are used whenever possible. * A rubber dam, which is a thin sheet of latex, is used whenever necessary to reduce the amount of bacterial spray-back which occurs when dental procedures are performed. We continually monitor our procedures for compliance with OSHA, Centers for Disease Control, and the American Dental Association recommendations.

I think everybody should get with the program. Meeting someone online is no longer taboo. It is a totally normal thing.
Some of us spend countless hours online now, with our jobs, keeping in touch with cousins (Hi Shannon, Sharron, Erin, Lacey, John, Debby, Kathe, Rebecca, Marcy, Lynsey, Anne!) and all sorts of things. We research our family trees, we keep on top of our children's grades, even keep in touch with our children's teachers!
So meeting a potential soulmate online just doesn't seem so far-fetched, now does it? A few of those cousins I said "HI" to could tell you a thing or two about it! ;)
Also over, are the days of paying $300 - $600 - or even thousands - of dollars, on dating programs!! How ridiculous those programs are - I interviewed for a job at one of those places once, and it all seemed so superficial and revenue-focused (duh!) and how on earth am I going to meet someone to bear children with in an environment like that?!
There are great new sites online that are totally free - they are great interactive, Web 2.0 sites - message boards, surveys, polls - all kinds of things to get you involved!
You make your profile and fill out as much as you like, and then you can dig around and search other people's profiles!
There are even people from my little town listed on those sites - so you can go searching by town or zip code or a number of things.
Sounds like fun! Guess this married hippie better get off of there - heehee!
But you singles get on there and dig around - have fun!
Have a super groovylicious day!

Imagine strolls along the promenade, a scattering of welcoming shops and cafes, and the tang of salty seawater in the air – an Irish seaside town is a haven in a world of hustle and bustle.
With Summer in full swing, it would be rude not to make the most of the warmer months and enjoy a beach day, so we've rounded up the top 10 most beautiful seaside towns in Ireland. Don't forget the bucket and spade!
10. Skerries, Co. Dublin
Located in Fingal, Skerries is a major fishing spot in County Dublin and boasts a beautiful harbour with pastel coloured shop fronts and houses facing the waterfront.
Skerries has won several awards for its scenery, in particular the stunning views of neighbouring islands which can be seen from the sandy beaches, and the long-standing lighthouse on Rockabill Island.
The draw of Skerries goes beyond its aesthetics – each year it hosts the annual Skerries 100 Motorcycle races, bringing together motorcycle fanatics from all over the country and further beyond.
9. Tramore, Co. Waterford
Once a sleepy fishing village, Tramore has flourished as one of the most popular seaside towns in the country.
The picturesque promenade is the heart of the town, offering visitors a 5km stretch of beaches and sand dunes, accompanied by breathtaking views of the Atlantic and an amusement park during the Summer months.
One of the most attractive features of the town is surely the breathtaking Gothic church which overlooks the town – make sure to bring your camera to capture its beautifully haunting architecture.
8. Rosslare, Co. Wexford
Known locally as "the sunny south-east", Rosslare is officially the sunniest spot in the country – records show the seaside town gets an average of 300 hours more sunshine than any other spot in the country each year!
The sun is not the only attractive aspect of Rosslare – the beach has been awarded with a blue flag so is perfect for those brave enough to go for a swim. Rosslare golf club is also a major feature of the town, with golfers having the opportunity to play in an award-winning club overlooking Wexford Harbour.
7. Youghal, Co. Cork
Youghal is a seaport town located on East Cork's stunning coastline. Youghal is rich in amenities and truly has something for everyone – it has sandy blue flag beaches, historical attractions such as the Clock Gate Tower, and high-quality restaurants and pubs.
Youghal is a great spot for a night out. So why not come go down for the weekend and check out the best pubs in town!?

Boasting an ideal location right on Liscannor Bay, Lahinch is paradise for surfers. Lahinch beach is suitable for surfers of all abilities, with beginners being encouraged towards the gentler waves at the North side of the beach.
Lahinch is more than a simple surf town – it is a welcoming and lively location with pubs, restaurants and a fully-fledged entertainment centre on the promenade which has a swimming pool and playground, making it an idyllic spot for families.
5. Enniscrone, Co. Sligo
Complete with sandy beaches, camping facilities, and seaside walking opportunities, the small Sligo town is certainly one of the most beautiful in the country.
"The Valley of Diamonds" is a hidden gem that can be found on the beach and is a truly gorgeous sight to behold.
Located near the end of the beach, the valley is a large volcano-like composition nestled amongst the sand dunes. Ensure you bring your phone to explore the elusive valley – a quick snap of the sandy monument is definitely Instagram worthy!
4. Bangor, Co. Down
The large seaside town in the province of Ulster is a warm, friendly town which welcomes visitors from all over the country and further afield.
The Bangor Marina is the beating heart of the town and is in fact the largest Marina in Northern Ireland, attracting many boaters all year round.
There are many amenities a stone's throw away from the postcard-picture marina, with the town having an array of shops, restaurants, sports facilities and tourist attractions such as the Ulster Heritage centre.
The Marina itself is a thing of beauty, and watching the sunset over the harbour is a peaceful and unforgettable experience.
3. Ballybunion, Co. Kerry
Kerry is unarguably one of the most beautiful locations in the country, and the seaside town of Ballybunion more than holds its own in The Kingdom.
The beaches of Ballybunion are exquisite, with the two main beaches being the Men's Beach and the Ladies Beach. These names stem back to the days when men would bathe on one beach and ladies on the other.
However, nowadays both beaches are open to people of all genders and ages who wish to soak up the sun and the sights. Ballybunion is also home to an impressive and popular golf course and is great craic on a night out, with pubs bustling with friendly locals and visitors on a warm Summer night.
2. Donegal Town, Co. Donegal
Sharing a name with its county, no countdown of seaside towns is complete without mentioning Donegal. The town is located on Donegal Bay and lies in the shadows of the Blue Stack Mountains, which is a prime location for hikers and hill walkers.
Donegal is rich in historical sites, from ancient ringforts to Saint Patrick's Church of the Four Masters.
The town centre is fondly known as "The Diamond" and is a lively spot rich in music and culture, with many venues being advocates for traditional Irish music displays. Donegal Bay is also one of the major surf spots of Ireland, where surfers can catch waves in the beautiful surroundings of the town.
1. Westport, Co. Mayo
Located on Clew Bay, Westport is a dazzling and charming seaside town. The town has won several awards for its scenery and quality of life, and it is simple to understand why.
It is made up of the stunning Achill Island and the historical Westport House which has become a huge attraction for tourists wanting to immerse themselves in the manor's fascinating history.
Of course, we must mention Croagh Patrick, which is one of Ireland's most famous sites. The mountain is a place of pilgrimage and attracts thousands of visitors each year whom wish to take on the challenge of the mountain.
Croagh Patrick provides a uniquely beautiful backdrop to the town and gives Westport the edge over the other competitors on the list. If you have just one beach day this year, make sure it is in Westport – trust us, you won't regret it.

- Three-Toed Sloth discusses what makes a statistician vs. a data scientist, a debate you're likely to encounter if your work intersects with quantitative work in any way.
- Eight (relatively) young economists on the future of their field, via pretty much everyone. I'd love to see what similarly junior economists in the 1970s would have guessed would befall economics over the last 40 years; I could see at least some of them getting the broad sweep right, but I'd also bet they would overestimate how much progress a couple academic generations can make. Call me a pessimist.
- This post by Lee Crawfurd points to Esther Duflo's Tanner lecture on paternalism in development economics, which restates some of the themes from Poor Economics. I highly recommend the lecture based on what I've read; though my read was quick I found it both fascinating and dense (in the sense that it is idea- and information-rich, not dull) and realized I will need to revisit it, maybe more than once. I also liked this quote from Lee's post:
Back in England, I can't imagine anything worse than having to meet all of my neighbours after work to figure out how we are going to run the rubbish collection or fix the potholes in the road. That stuff just gets done. Services get delivered without me having to think about it at all. All I need is a mechanism to complain if things don't work, but don't ask me to help you plan how to fix it.
- A dose of pop culture remix: what would 2001 have looked like had it been made in 2012? This trailer answers that question (which I'm sure you've wondered, right?).
- This looks interesting: the "Public Health Twitter Journal Club" is currently picking its next article for discussion from a selection of smoking-related papers.
- Finally, a non-link observation: watching the Olympics abroad (specifically, on ArabSat) makes me realize how much the coverage I've watched during previous Olympiads is shaped by being in the US. Not only has (for better or worse) the coverage focused on the actual events, rather than endless interviews and inspirational backstories, I've been impressed by the difference in the quantity of Americans on display. While the US does have one of the largest Olympic teams, many events I've watched haven't had American competitors at all, or only had one who didn't medal, whereas coverage in the US is always biased towards events in which Americans are traditionally strong. I guess it's blindingly obvious in a sense, but a good reminder: often you only see what you're looking for.

Learn by Building Redis with Ruby
Course info
Course info
In this course we build a Redis clone from scratch, using Ruby. We will implement all the major features, including the data structures, transactions, persistence, and more. Along the way we'll also learn how Redis uses Unix sockets and process management to better understand how it operates at the system level. By the end of this course you will have a better understanding of how Redis works, allowing you to make better decisions about how and when to use it.
Section Introduction Transcripts
Simple Commands and Data Structures
In this module on simple data structures, we'll take the skeleton setup from the first setup module and flush it out with some real features. We'll also move to a design that can handle multiple clients in a scalable way. First up, we will implement the ECHO command, which will require us to actually start reading data from the clients rather than always responding with the same message. After that, we will take some time to re-architect the server code to something more robust. Before then, adding state and implementing the basic data types of Redis, strings and hashes.
Expiry, Sets, Transactions, and Lists
Welcome to the third module of the Learn By Building Redis with Ruby Screencast. This is perhaps the most transparently-named module I have ever recorded, Expiry, Sets, Transactions, and Lists. In this module, we will unsurprisingly be covering expiry, sets, transactions, and lists -- bet you didn't see that coming. This list encompasses some of the more advanced Redis features and in using them, you'll be able to write quite sophisticated applications. Let's dive right into the first topic: expiry.
Pub/Sub and Persistence
Welcome to the fourth module in the learn by building Redis in Ruby screen cast. In this module we will cover the final remaining Redis feature pub/sub assistant for publishers and subscribers through send and receive messages amongst themselves. We then take some time for a fairly in-depth look at the different persistence models provided by Redis. Understanding and correctly using these is really important, otherwise you may end up on one hand losing data you did not intend to or on the other, crippling the throughput of your server.

Nasdaq Sets Record, Trump Sends Mixed Signals on NAFTA
The Nasdaq Composite ended at another record high today, boosted by results-related gains in Comcast, PayPal and Intuit, while the S&P 500 and the Dow were little changed from yesterday's gains.
Thursday, April 27, 2017 - 00:00
The tech-heavy index is likely to extend its record-breaking string of gains as heavyweights Amazon and Alphabet jumped more than 4 percent each after the bell, following stellar earnings. Comcast rose 2.1 percent to $39.59 after touching a record high of $40.62 as strong subscriber growth brought a forecast-beating profit.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 6.24 points, or 0.03 percent, to 20,981.33, the S&P 500 gained 1.32 points, or 0.06 percent, to 2,388.77 and the Nasdaq Composite added 23.71 points, or 0.39 percent, to 6,048.94.
Earnings were back in the spotlight, a day after the Trump administration unveiled its tax reform priorities without details on how the reform would be paid for, raising questions on whether deficit hawks in Congress would support it. Overall profits of S&P 500 companies are estimated to have risen 12.4 percent in the first quarter, the most since 2011.
US businesses would mostly benefit if President Donald Trump's plan to cut corporate tax rates and slash taxes on cash parked overseas becomes law. But the economic benefits and the timing of a possible bill remain in question.
In after-hours trading, Amazon added 4.1 percent to $955.92 while Google's parent Alphabet jumped 4.5 percent to $931.91 as both continue to race to $1,000. Alphabet jumped as Google's ad revenue rose 18.8 percent to $21.41 billion in the first quarter, while Amazon reported revenue and profit that topped analysts' estimates.
In regular market hours, Intuit rose 8.5 percent to $125.61 after it reported consumer tax-season results and reiterated its quarter and full-year forecast. PayPal shares hit a record high a day after it raised its earnings outlook and reported higher-than-expected quarterly profit. Sportswear maker Under Armour shares jumped 9.9 percent to $21.67 after it posted a smaller-than-expected quarterly loss.
Politics remained in focus this week as the Trump administration unveiled a hastily assembled plan to cut taxes on Wednesday and gave mixed signals on its intentions for the North American trade agreement. The machinations left markets unsure of the policy direction, with lots of discussion and few concrete actions on which to trade. Congress is also considering a continuing resolution to avoid a government shutdown, while House Republicans attempt to revive legislation to repeal Obamacare.
The Mexican peso pared gains and Canada's dollar was little changed based on those mixed signals from the White House on the NAFTA regional trade agreement. The euro weakened after the European Central Bank signaled its commitment to stimulus even as the region's economy firms. Gold was little changed and emerging-market assets slipped.

Austrim Nylex (ARL) - $0.30: The burst of excitement we noted in issue 94 (Sell - $0.34) proved to be short-lived. A harmless-looking sentence tacked onto the end of a press release on 30 January could be the source of Austrim's next headache. It announced that former executive director Veronica Vidal had ceased to act as legal counsel and as a director. Vidal is said to be seeking several million dollars, claiming she was 'constructively dismissed'. SELL.

There are secret weapons to build wealth that are accessible to just about everyone: tax-advantaged accounts. Some are designed specifically for retirement, and others are only for certain types of expenses, such as education or medical bills.
Many people don't even know that these powerful tax-advantaged accounts exist, much less how to use them to improve their finances. This important information is rarely taught in U.S. schools — but that's another article.
Read More: How Much You Should Have in Your Retirement Fund at Every Age
I'll explain a couple of benefits and limitations that are the reasons I max out a health savings account (HSA) every year and skip contributions to an individual retirement account or IRA.
IRA Benefits You Should Know
An IRA is terrific because it's available to anyone with some amount of earned income. You can save an amount up to your annual taxable income or the annual IRA contribution limit, whichever is less.
The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) just announced that starting in 2019, you can contribute an additional $500 to either type of IRA, or up to $6,000. And if you're over age 50, you can save a bit more — up to $7,000.
For example, if you're 55 years old and earn $80,000 a year as a graphic designer, you could save $7,000 in an IRA starting in 2019. But if you're in high school and make $4,000 working a summer job, you can only contribute up to $4,000.
Money saved in a traditional IRA is tax-deductible, which reduces your taxable income in the same year. However, the contributions and earnings in the account are taxed as ordinary income when you take withdrawals down the road in retirement.
With a Roth IRA, contributions are taxed — but future withdrawals of contributions and earnings are typically tax-free. This can make the Roth a better choice if your retirement is many years away.
More on Saving for the Future: Here's How Much People Have Saved for Retirement in Every State
IRA Limitations You Should Know
While IRA benefits are fantastic, these accounts come with limitations. Unlike a traditional IRA, which has no restriction on income, high earners are not allowed to contribute to a Roth IRA.
Additionally, when you or a spouse also have a retirement plan at work, such as a 401k or 403b, contributions to a traditional IRA may not be tax-deductible when you earn above an annual threshold. Note that you can still put money in a traditional IRA, but you may not get the full tax deduction.
This restriction for having multiple retirement accounts doesn't exist with a Roth IRA. But, as I mentioned, you're locked out of a Roth IRA altogether when you have a high income.
These restrictions are what prevent me from using either a traditional or a Roth IRA. I'm self-employed and don't have a workplace plan — but my husband does. Since we file taxes jointly, that's a strike against the traditional IRA because contributions wouldn't be tax-deductible for us.
And, our income prevents me from contributing to a Roth IRA. So, the best option for my situation is contributing to a small business retirement account known as a simplified employee pension, or SEP. I layer that with HSA benefits, which I'll cover next.
HSA Benefits You Should Know
An HSA is another important but often overlooked tax-advantaged account. It gives you the following tax benefits when you use funds to pay for qualified, unreimbursed medical expenses:
- Your contributions are never taxed.
- Your account earnings are never taxed.
- Your withdrawals are never taxed.
This triple tax advantage makes an HSA more valuable than other tax-advantaged accounts — such an IRA, 401k or 529 college savings plan — which only have double tax advantages.
Just like with retirement accounts, you can choose from a menu of diversified investing funds for additional growth in your HSA. But there are no income requirements or limits to qualify.
There's no HSA spending deadline or requirement to make contributions, but there are annual caps. For 2019, you can contribute up to $3,500 if you have insurance for just yourself, or up to $7,000 if you have a family plan.
These HSA contribution limits are up $50 and $100, respectively, from 2018. If you're over age 55, you can also contribute an additional $1,000.
See: Why You Need an HSA
I love using my HSA to pay for eligible medical, dental and vision expenses completely tax-free. It makes these typically expensive services much more affordable.
But here's the kicker: If you still have funds in an HSA after you turn 65, it morphs into something very similar to a traditional retirement account, but without any mandatory withdrawals. You can use HSA distributions for non-medical expenses without any penalty, but you still must pay income tax on withdrawals.
Do You Know? HSA vs. FSA: How to Choose the Best Healthcare Account
HSA Limitations You Should Know
While the benefits of an HSA are amazing, not everyone can cash in. You can only have an HSA when you also have a type of insurance known as a high-deductible health plan, which requires you to pay more out of pocket before your insurance coverage begins.
If you're in relatively good health, a high-deductible health plan paired with an HSA can be a clever way to cut healthcare costs and boost your retirement savings at the same time.

Lather, Rinse, Repeat • September 16 - November 2
Opening Reception September 16, 2pm-5pm
For this juried exhibition entitled, "Lather, Rinse, Repeat", Hamilton Street Gallery has chosen the work of 33 artists that focus on our crowning glory, better known as hair. Be it curly, flat, thick, thinning, frizzy, fly-away, or pin straight, hair leaves a lasting impression. It is definitive to one's character, as well as to one's face. The selected artists were adventurous in providing a wide scope of subject matter illustrating the many customs and rituals involved in hair culture. The exhibit also offers a rich variety of media, including painting, collage, sculpture, photography, pen, and ink, colored pencil, watercolor, found object and much more. In addition, a performance artist will be cutting her own hair, which has a special karmic significance, in that the space that Hamilton Street Gallery now occupies, was once a hair salon.

Mickey and Molly
Black male and grey long haired tabby female
We adopted Mickey and Molly a few months ago. They came from a multi-cat household and by all accounts had not been treated well. They were extremely scared of people and huddled together for comfort. It was decided that they had to be homed together and having just lost our old cat Pepper, we decided to take them on.
Initially it was a case of finding them somewhere in the house, little Mickey managed to get himself into the attic, on top of the kitchen units and behind an old fire place in one of the bedrooms. Molly just stayed, very scared, under our bed.
As the weeks passed Mickey became more curious and ventured out into our area and finally decided that we were ok. He is now a loving cuddly lap cat! Unfortunately Molly's fear of people has meant that she prefers to live on her own, she stays out most of the time but comes into be fed and, we think, at night to sleep.
We hope she will eventually realise that we will not harm her and join Mickey indoors.

As a young Mom of a new baby girl, I wanted my daughter to love the Disney Princess line as much as I did as a child. So, I introduced her to all of the greats, Cinderella, Snow White, Ariel, Aurora, Jasmine, Belle, etc. My oldest daughter fell in love with Belle almost immediately.
This past Tuesday, we were invited to see Beauty and the Beast at the Fox as guests. My opinions as always are my own.
Beauty and the Beast exceeded our expectations. The sets were extraordinary. The music was mesmerizing. There was laughter, body slapstick, as well as romance and love.
I was wondering how they were going to do the "Be my Guest" scene. Or how they were going to transform the Man into a Beast and vice versa. Well of course there was Disney Magic. I was awed and amazed by it.
My daughter's favorite part was when Belle was staring with a blank expression on her face during the Something There scene. I loved how the Beast struggled to say, "Please". I also loved when the Beast threw a full-fledged temper tantrum. Watching the kids' in the audience reaction during the scene was amusing as well.
Chip was absolutely adorable. The silly girls from the town were hysterical. Madame de la Grande Bouche was absolutely hilarious. Gaston was an over egoistical man. Just perfect.
Beauty and the Beast will be playing at the Fox till February 7. Tickets for "Disney's Beauty and the Beast" start at $33.50 and are available at by visiting HERE, calling 855.285.8499 or visiting the Fox Theatre Box Office.
Fifth Third Bank Broadway in Atlanta is hosting a book drive to benefit Everybody Wins, a local nonprofit dedicated to furthering education and improving literacy for underprivileged children. Throughout the week, patrons can drop new and gently used books in the donation bin located near the Broadway in Atlanta display table.

The TRUTH
When it comes to your recordings, you want honesty. In fact, considering how important your music is, you should demand it! Thats why we designed the B2030P Reference Monitors to speak nothing but the TRUTH. They sound great hooked up to your stereo or your video surround system, and are critical tools for any recording studiowhere every note you play or sing is "under the microscope."
Active vs. Passive
Active monitors are designed to take all the guesswork out of matching speakers with amplifiers and crossover networks (among other things), and provide a turnkey solution for exceptional sound in the recording studio. We make them, we love them, and we sell truckloads of them! But there is a place for passive studio monitors, too.
Significant applications for passive monitors include surround-sound theater, stereo systems, computer workstations, etc. Or, maybe you have a stack of high-quality power amps just sitting around collecting dust. TRUTH B2030P passive studio monitors are a quantum leap from those bookshelf box speakers you may currently be using.
Built on a Legacy
The TRUTH B2030P passive monitor has all the great features of the TRUTH B2030A active monitor with one exception; you provide the amplification. Due to their high-resolution performance, B2030P 2-way reference studio monitors are perfect for nearfield monitoring applications: from small mixing environments to multi-channel surround setups. Our TRUTH monitors have been so wildly successful that weve sold thousands upon thousands of them to some of the most critical ears on the planet.
Dont Let the Size Fool You
Despite its small size, the TRUTH B2030P provides ultra-linear frequency response from 75 Hz to 21 kHz. The internal crossover point is fixed at 2.3 kHz for optimal performance of the two-way system. And the B2030P can handle input levels up to 100 watts.
Rock-Solid Bass
Bookshelf-style home stereo speakers can really fool you when it comes to bass output, mainly because they are not designed for critical listening applications. Thats why audio/video engineers and producers listen to projects through studio reference monitors or studio-grade headphones. The B2030Ps long-throw 6.75" polypropylene-diaphragm woofer delivers smooth, deep bass all the way down to 75 Hz.
Why the Polypropylene Woofer?
Were glad you asked. Polypropylene is light and strong, enabling the speaker cone to respond very quickly to fast transient peaks. This low-mass cone material is also much stiffer than paper, important for not only maintaining bass content integrity, but critical for midrange accuracy and definition. The deformation-resistant aluminum die-cast chassis maintains suspension integrity and provides highly efficient voice-coil cooling, even under extreme operating conditions.
Non-fatiguing, Wide Sweet Spot
B2030Ps HF (High Frequency) content comes courtesy of an ultra high-resolution 0.75" ferrofluid-cooled tweeter mounted on our proprietary wave-guide. While some of our competitors studio monitors have a highly focused sweet spot (the optimal listening position for a pair of loudspeakers), our wave-guide is designed to create a much more generous, broader listening zone. That means you wont wear a hole in the carpet in that one spot where everything sounds great. You are free to move around inside the stereo image to find the ideal spot in the mix for subtle instrument or effects placement opportunities.
You also wont suffer the ravages of monitor fatigue-syndrome, an ailment that comes from listening to harsh high-mids and treble content for hours on end, even during those all-night mix-down sessions that can really test your nerves.
Hearing is Believing
We could bore you to tears with all the technical jargon (if you like that stuff, youre sure to enjoy the product spec sheet at the back of the manual), but hearing the TRUTH will make you a believer. We think youll agree that nothing in this class outperforms the B2030P monitors. Compare them to the competition and hear the TRUTH!

On October 27, 2015, the Rt. Rev. Griselda Delgado del Carpio, Bishop of the Episcopal Church of Cuba, visited The General Theological Seminary. After spending the day with the seminary community, she preached in the Chapel of the Good Shepherd during the Community Eucharist. Her sermon was translated by trustee member, the Rev. Yamily Bass-Choate. The Episcopal Church of Cuba dates back to the end of the 19th century, when missionaries from The Episcopal Church of the United States first arrived in the island. After the U.S. intervention at the beginning of the 20th century, the Episcopal Church of Cuba achieved greater social status as the Secretariat of the Ministry of Justice registered it as a "Protestant Episcopal Religion of the United States of America." In 1900, the Episcopal Church of Cuba was formalized.
At first, the Episcopal Church of Cuba was a mission of The Episcopal Church of the United States, becoming a missionary district in 1901 and later, in 1968, an autonomous diocese.The missionary district held its first synod in 1906, presided by its first Bishop, Albion W. Knight and has held a synod each year since.
The Episcopal Church of Cuba falls under a Metropolitan Council in matters of Faith and Order. Council members include the Primate of Canada, the Archbishop of the West Indies, and the Presiding Bishop of The Episcopal Church of the United States.

Among the products that were known as out by US regulators in a flurry of warning letters was one thing known as Whip'd Strawberry , packaged in such a approach that it looks like Reddi-wip topping. Vapor HQ tobacco flavored e-liquids do not style like cigarette smoke. E-cigarettes haven't been completely evaluated in scientific studies. Nicotine: One of the stimulatants and addictive substances present in cigarettes. It is what provides the nicotine resolution and the flavoring to your Electronic Cigarette. Oil pens warmth up just like the e-liquid, except the oil pens have a metal or metal warmth plate that heats by the coil and gets red hot which causes the oil to vaporize.
There's a good rationale for individuals to make use of vaping products to help them give up smoking as vaping merchandise can present nicotine, which is what folks want The Eliquid Boutique from smoking. The FDA additionally issued an advance notice of proposed rulemaking in March to hunt public comment on the function that flavors in tobacco products play in attracting youth.
VIP ensures that our e-liquids are all tested by UKAS accredited laboratories to actively display for any dangerous compounds. The liquid in vape devices and ecigarettes is named eliquid, or typically by different names reminiscent of ejuice, e cig uk fluid or vape juice. The Court docket determination highlights that products that resemble tobacco products, regardless of whether they comprise nicotine or not, cannot be sold in WA and it's an offence underneath the Tobacco Products Management Act to sell these products.
A small examine by Wolfgang Schober of the Bavarian Health and Meals Security Authority and colleagues published within the Worldwide Journal of Hygiene and Environmental Health in December discovered that vaping worsened indoor air high quality, particularly by increasing the concentration of nicotine, particulate matter, PAHs and aluminum — compounds that have been linked to lung and cardiovascular disease and cancer amongst different well being results.
These embody merchandise that are prepared and labelled for human therapeutic use, reminiscent of nicotine alternative gum, lozenges, patches and inhalers. (ii) benefit the health of the population as an entire considering both users of tobacco merchandise and persons who don't at present use tobacco merchandise.
NO SOY – There's NO SOY components in ECBlend E-LIQUIDS. For now, though, they suggest that e-cigarette flavors ought to be regulated and e-juice bottles made by regulation to incorporate a descriptive listing of all of the elements they include. Different chemical substances that add buttery taste might be dangerous as properly, says Neal Benowitz, MD. He's a former member of the FDA's Tobacco Products Scientific Advisory Committee.
It is because freebase nicotine affects the liquid's general taste. What we do know is e-cigarettes include far much less harmful constituents than that of normal cigarettes. Numerous my pals use electronic cigarettes so I figured they should also know what is going into their lungs. A overview by Public Health England found that the rise of e-cigarette use in the nation has been matched with a lower in the amount of people who are smoking.

TeliaSonera is delighted to prolong the support to SSE Riga by donating SEK 1,250,000 (approx EUR 135.000) to the school for the academic year 2014/2015. The cooperation between TeliaSonera and SSE Riga was established ten years ago when the TeliaSonera Institute (TSI) at SSE Riga was founded through a donation by TeliaSonera.
This year's TeliaSonera donation is announced today at a ceremony at SSE Riga in the presence of His Majesty the King of Sweden in connection to the Swedish state visit to Latvia.
"TeliaSonera is one of the largest investors in the Baltic countries, and we consider ourselves to be an integral part of this region. The Baltic countries are all part of our home market and crucial to our present and future business. Our co-operation with SSE Riga is a manifestation of our long-term commitment to the region and to the Baltic communications sector", says Kennet Rådne, SVP and Head of Mobility Baltics, TeliaSonera.
In January 2004 TeliaSonera endowed the TeliaSonera Professorship at the Stockholm School of Economics in Riga (SSE Riga) and at the same time the TeliaSonera Institute at the Stockholm School of Economics in Riga (TSI) was founded. The Institute is a think tank which aims to promote and undertake high quality policy-oriented research in the fields of entrepreneurship, telecom and information technology. Furthermore, the Institute should promote entrepreneurship in Latvia.
Annual events, such as the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor for Latvia and the TeliaSonera Business Day, together with reports produced at the Institute have highlighted the potential of entrepreneurship and telecom when it comes to the economic development of Latvia and the Baltic neighbours Estonia and Lithuania.
"During the 10 years of generous support from TeliaSonera, the TeliaSonera Institute at SSE Riga has developed into an important catalyst when it comes to fostering a debate on entrepreneurship and telecom. Academically, the TeliaSonera Institute has put Latvia on the map in terms of entrepreneurship research", says Anders Paalzow, Rector at SSE Riga.

(Reuters) - Big banks have started pulling their business out of Barclays'
Deutsche Bank
Barclays said any drop in trading volumes at LX might be due to a technical glitch.
Goldman Sachs
The New York State attorney general's lawsuit alleges that Barclays promised to get the best possible prices for customers looking to buy or sell shares but instead took steps that maximized the bank's profits and executed nearly all of its customers' stock orders on LX instead of on exchanges or other venues that might have offered better prices.
Dark pools were created to allow investors to execute big trades without tipping off the market. But ever-larger volumes of trades have been shunted into dark pools and critics say their opacity makes markets less fair for other investors.
Deutsche Bank and Credit Suisse declined to comment. Royal Bank of Canada, Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley and JPMorgan Chase could not immediately be reached for comment.

Remember the game Telephone? I loved Telephone. Hearing a secret, telling a secret...I guess I still love Telephone, I love secrets, and everything about them. I find that people listen much more carefully when you tell them a secret.
Something I know to be true, is that any friend of mine, with envy worthy skin has a secret — the very same secret, at that. One by one, this secret gets passed along, like the game of telephone. Now, put your ear to the screen and listen closely because I wouldn't want you to mishear what I'm about to reveal.
Biologique Recherche Lotion P50. It's been rumored to be "magic in a bottle," or "the holy grail." I've even heard musings that it has a "cult-like" following. Now, I too, have drank the kool-aid, and have never been happier!
Is it a toner? Is it a lotion? Where can it be purchased? What is the smell? Why does my skin look so good?! All valid questions, although slightly irrelevant when flawless skin is achieved.
There isn't much that P50 doesn't claim to do. Exfoliate, reset PH balance, cellular regeneration, hydrate, minimize pores, cleanse, tighten fine lines, taxes, school drop off… the list goes on!
After personally experiencing, softer, blemish-free, hydrated skin (as well as almost everything else on the list), and in record time I might add, I was as curious as ever; what the heck is in this stuff!? Generally, I understand a product by its name or category, but P50 lotion, that is used more like a toner, still leaves me curious. Which brings me back to this simple thought … does it matter with results like this? I'll let you decide!

A Private Investor, 3D Hitec Systems, has teamed up with the Central Bank of Nigeria and its affiliated partners to suport Tomato farmers in Delta state and give them renewed hope for improved yields and bumper harvests, with the unveiling of 3D Hitech Systems Nigeria Limited, as the main off-taker for all harvested produce by registered Tomato farmers in the state under the Private Anchor Borrowers scheme of the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN.
This disclosure was made on Tuesday, December 6, 2016 in Asaba, during the presentation of the Private Anchor borrowers programme on tomato farming and production by the tripartite sponsors, Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, Nigeria Bank of Agriculture and the Nigeria Agricultural Insurance Corporation, NAIC, and the introduction of the principal off-taker of the scheme in Delta state, 3D Hitech Systems Nigeria Limited.
Addressing participants and newsmen at the presentation ceremony, the Managing Director, 3D Hitech Systems and proprietor of 3D Farms, Mr. Patrick Azi said that he was inspired to embark on tomato farming to prove that the soil in Delta state and Nigeria was fertile for tomato farming, adding that he was further motivated by the pragmatic policies of the Delta state government to encourage private investors, who were keen to invest in Agriculture in the state.
Mr. Azi who affirmed that his vast farm and processing facility, situated in Iselle-uku, Aniocha North LGA in Delta state, was presently producing over 500 kilogrammes of Tomatoes, with the potential of increasing production in the coming months, assured that he had more than enough capacity to accommodate all harvested tomato produce by registered farmers under the scheme, adding that he also enjoys critical support from his bankers, including Stanbic IBTC Bank, as well as the CBN, who has provided all the requisite support for Ease of business in the Private Anchors Borrowers scheme.
"We still have over 250 hectres of farm land yet to be developed and with a large tonnage of Tomatoes to supply to our international partners, Erisco Company, it is indeed a new dawn for tomato farming in Nigeria. However Water supply and Power have remained major challenges but we are handling these challenges adequately and enjoin tomato farmers in the state to be steadfast and committed in order to reap the lucrative benefits of the scheme.
In their separate comments addresses to participants at the presentation ceremony, the CBN representatives Mr. Matthew Badaiki and Mr. Bukar Alli, Senior Manager Development Finance Office, Asaba, as well as Ambrose Nwabuzor of the Bank of Agriculture, Asaba office and Agbala Susan of the Nigeria Agricultural Insurance Corporation, all highlighted the need for private Tomato farmers to key into the scheme as registered Cooperatives, emphasizing that the Private Anchor Borrowers programme was initiated to solve the problems of Agricultural financing by providing loans as well as creating markets for buying and processing harvested produce.
They were also quick to stress that the scheme was not meant for those they described as portfolio farmers and while cautioning farmers to identify with specific crops to access the loan facilities, in this case tomato, noted that the scheme has considerably reduced the incidences of loan diversions and lack of market, adding that they were impressed with the facilities and capacity of 3D Hitech Systems Nigeria Limited to make the programme a huge success in Delta state.
Those who witnessed the presentation ceremony included Rt. Hon. Friday Osanebi, Deputy Speaker, Delta state House of Assembly, Hon. Festus Chukwuyem Okoh, representing Ika South Constituency in the Delta Assembly, Hon Ossai representing Ndokwa nation in DESOPADEC and Hon. Karo Ilolo, Delta state Commissioner for Urban Renewal, who represented Governor Ifeanyi Okowa and noted that the Private Anchor Borrowers scheme would create employment and generate income to the state, even as he enjoined farmers to key into programme with honesty and transparency.

My mission
Be a support of positive change for a more healthy life, a transformation through the body and mind to:
Encourage each person to become more conscious, confident, engaged and awake
Value women, mothers, sisters to embrace their feminine and trust their roles in their missions and communities.
Awaken children to the value of respect of others and respect of earth.
Promote arts as a vector of transformation and wellness.
My story
Originally from the region of the Hauts-de-France, I growed up between Saint-Omer, Lille and Wissant.
After my master in Industrial Design, I started my expansion and international experience.
Working in Germany, Spain, Belgium and the United-States, for ten years, I helped creative entrepreneurs and Fortune 101 companies launch their ideas and products to the market of tomorrow.
In parallel of design as I am passionated by personal development and arts, I pursue studies and constant practice of coaching, yoga, massage, reiki, dance and meditation. Through these practices, I increased my knowledge about the dynamic of body, the behavior of will and the management of emotions.
Theses explorations lead me to quit my 'super job' in the Silicon Valley and the 'American Dream' to explore India and its rich spiritual knowledge.
During six months, I have visited many mystical places which guide me to deepen my dance and meditation practices, including breathing techniques. Reading sacred text of the vedic and tantric traditions and listening to modern wise teachers, such as Thich Nath Hanh, Mooji, Swami Sadhvi Bhagawati, Amma, brought me to better understand social conditioning and awake my consciousness.
Gaining knowledge about the yogis, hindus traditions and shamanic rituals, I also rediscovered my christian heritage and understand better the role of humanity.
I am now, very enthusiastic to share all those rich teachings with you and combine the creativity of design with wellness.
My experience
Yoga is more than a practice, it is a philosophy of living! Coming from the Himalayas mountains, Sattva Yoga is in France for the first time!
After practicing yoga for 10 years, I have found Sattva Yoga. A practice that include all elements that I love: mantras singing, free dance movements, Hatha yoga postures. It is also a practice that engage at all level of your being: physical, mental and spiritual.
The practice has increased my level of energy, develop healing on the cellular level revealing a deep inner peace.
As I was living in the USA, I already had a daily practice of meditation, which was based on gratitude and intention. This brought me to find more serenity and a better management of my stress for a fluid and peaceful day.
The contact improvisation dance is like a physical conversation. For me, this practice is very therapeutique.
As a reflection of life, dance is the teacher to understand my behavior. For five years, I have observed my relationship to others from a mental and emotional level. I became more conscious of my patterns and were able to improvise new patterns in the safe context of dancing, allowing to spread healthier habits into real life.
On the physical level, the dance contact improvisation helps me to find a better grounded stand, engage and connect with the core to find more strength and better use my body for more fluid and efficient movements.
Many problems are based on bad communication. The Neuro-Linguistique Programmation is a powerful source of mental healing.
It frees up a lot of the weight decision by bringing clarity. It is the source for understanding present and past situations as well as other people's point of view.
It is also the possibility to analyse pre-conceived ideas, instilled by society and social environment. Better understanding these help to liberate yourself from all the ones that doesn't serve you. NLP also allow me to create supportive communication environment with colleagues and between family and friends.

This winter the club will be providing another series of winter turbo sessions with the specific aim of preparing riders for the time trial and race season. The structure of the programme will be a progressive set of sessions to build aerobic endurance, raise lactate threshold and replicate the efforts of time trialling so that riders can practice the level of sustained effort they can manage. There will also be a series of warm up drills and exercises to practice that can be used before a time trial or road race.
The first sessions on the 5th November (Tiptoe) and 13th November (Totton) November will involve a test to measure either riders Lactate Threshold Heart Rate (LTHR) or Functional Threshold Power (FTP). So please ensure that you are wearing hear rate monitors or have appropriate power measuring equipment. The zones that are measured in this session will be used to ensure that subsequent weeks are undertaken at the right intensity. To ensure an accurate measurement make the day of the test and the preceding day a recovery day to ensure that you are fresh for the test.
The sessions will be designed to provide some quality training during the base training period and will provide participants with training sessions to build aerobic endurance, increase leg speed, raise lactate threshold and increase muscular endurance. All adaptations that are required for the cycling race season.
There will be the opportunity to discuss training methods, the theory behind the sessions and specific questions during the recovery periods. From previous years' experience riders found it more beneficial and more motivational to train in a group environment rather than their own shed / garage.
These sessions are not spinning classes, they are cycling specific classes aimed at club cyclists looking to improve fitness and performance. We will aim to make them both enjoyable, progressive and beneficial.
These sessions will be held at Tiptoe Church Hall, Vaggs Lane on Wednesday nights at 1930 and Totton College, Calmore Lane on Thursdays at 1930. Set up time will be 15 minutes and the sessions will start at 1945 and last for 75-90 minutes. The Totton sessions will be open sessions to members of other clubs as well as NFCC. The Totton venue will be limited to 12 attendees so please book in advance by emailing firstname.lastname@example.com . There will be no sessions during the weeks commencing 22nd and 29th December.
Make sure that you're well hydrated and fuelled throughout the day. As with any session over an hour it's good to keep glycogen levels up and this will also aid recovery.
Entry is £4 to club members,
Please remember that the hall has a wooden floor and in order to protect that no cycle shoes of any description are to be worn in the hall at any time except on your own mat. All riders will put a mat or carpet under their bike and change shoes there. It goes without saying that all participants will share the cleaning up of the hall and their own mess afterwards. We want to keep using the venue and we must leave the hall fit for its next use when we depart.
Please bring the following to each session:
· Own bike and turbo trainer.
· Mat for bike and turbo.
· Large towel.
· Warm clothes to change into afterwards.
· Heart rate monitor
· Drink.
I look forward to seeing the return of last season's regulars and greeting some new participants.
