Bigwell Trout Fishery, Monmouth
Trout Fisherman contributor Peter Cockwill and photographer Peter Gathercole paid Bigwell a visit. Peter Cockwill caught a 14lb rainbow and a 9lb blue, both from the gin pool as well as several rainbows from across all pools. Peter had success on his small Buzzers including his stalking bug, as well as dry flies and thoroughly enjoyed his day. Ryan Davies caught his bag limit of 10 fish mostly on a Yellow Egg fly. Paul Barnfield also caught his bag limit including a 7lb rainbow from the lower lodge pool taken on a Green Spider. Carl Williams landed 10 fish, Mick Smith 10, John Burton 10, Keith Fenton 10, Robin Vale 10, Hughie Wilson 5, Emrys Povey 5, Scot Roberts 4, Jack Wilson 3, Brent Johnson 4, and Jamie Pol-lard 3. Malcom Jones, on holiday from Edinburgh with his family, caught 16 fish over the course of 2 days, including 2 blue trout and a tiger trout using a variety of flies including Yellow Buzzers and a favourite Scottish fly a Yellow Dancer. Despite the warm weather the fish are still very interest-ed when presented with the right fly and several larger fish have been caught this week. They are fighting hard thanks to the cool water. Bigwell is open every day from7.30am.

What is a Trowel Applied Mortar Flooring System?! A Breakdown by T.W. Hicks, Inc.
We here at T.W. Hicks, Inc. pride ourselves on always being up-to-date with cutting-edge technologies in the industrial flooring world. This means always providing our superior advice and services to our clients whether we are starting from scratch, or literally helping fill in the cracks.
One of the services that we offer here at T.W. Hicks, Inc. is a trowel applied mortar flooring system. What is that, you might be asking?! Is that the flooring system for me?! Our short answer is maybe—it may be the right flooring for your unique situation. Today, we are here to take the confusing world of industrial flooring and make it make more sense—we are here to tell you about trowel applied mortar flooring!
Breaking Down Trowel Applied Mortar Flooring
We love this flooring system because we have found it works out perfectly for our clients' needs—and it might be the perfect flooring for you! This flooring system is able to withstand a lot of abuse, while also having resistance against scuffs and scratches. Most frequently this would be used in a high-traffic area of flooring because of these added features. Along with this, it has amazing adhesion, outstanding chemical resistance, and is thermal shock resistant! Also, for most applications, no primer is necessary—what a win!
The best part about this flooring system is that it offers so much, but it breathes like concrete—which is amazing. You can repeatedly expose it to things such as steam, hot oil, or other chemicals and it will not pit or crack. If Superman was a flooring system, this would be it.
This flooring system could be the one for you—it works great as a food-grade flooring, or in manufacturing plants! Before we start your project, we will make sure we choose the right flooring system for you! Please contact us today so that we can get your flooring project started!

Hey! Becca here. I'm so grateful you're taking the time to read (or skim-read, no judgement here) my manifesto for this year. If you have any questions, concerns or need more information on anything below, please don't hesitate to contact me on my campaign page on facebook and I'll see if I can help out in any way.
You can contact me via facebook: https://www.facebook.com/becca4wo/ and email: email@example.com.
My name's Rebecca Harrington and I'm a third year International Relations and Politics student. I originally come from South Africa but my family live in London now. It's a case of running for re-election for me, because I've been your Women's Officer for two years now and I've got so much more to give! Being in the role so long has given me plenty of insight into the issues most important to women students on campus. Whilst I managed to achieve a lot over the past couple of years, there are some ongoing projects and new ideas I've detailed below that I'd really like a chance to crack on with this year.
In the interest of accountability, I wanted this to be a manifesto and a round-up of all the things I was involved in last year. Something on my list for next year is improving transparency in the union and encouraging all of us to put more time into informing students about the changes we've helped put in place. I had a really fantastic experience as Women's Officer over the last two years and if re-elected I really want to do more for the women and non-binary students I represent. One of the things I'm most pleased with is the HEFCE bid I helped put together an application for. The funding, which we won for Brookes, went forward to set up a reporting mechanism for instances of sexual violence, harassment and hate crime. It's now live and students can report any incidents, get help and find signposting resources here. Going forward, if I'm re-elected I'll still be sitting in those meetings and directly informing the way we structure this tool to work for and protect students.
Last year, I also ran a hugely successful sexual violence and consent campaign with Sam ( VP Welfare) to engage with students to find interactive ways to raise awareness of consent issues and sexual violence, without working against or patronising them. It's called Consent in Multiple Languages and as part of it, I wrote and set up two new resource pages on the Student Union Website. You can find the educational consent page here and the sexual violence page here.
Whilst sexual violence is always top on my agenda, I was increasingly concerned by messages from students using our 24hr building (the JHB) who couldn't find sanitary products at certain times in the evening. After months of meetings and haggling, we managed to get a sanitary pad dispenser installed! You may have also seen me sneaking into the gender-neutral toilets a lot last year. I wasn't up to anything dodgy, rather we had a small box of free emergency sanitary pads kept there and regularly restocked it. I'm keen to continue the scheme this year, but also to look into ways I can expand the idea - perhaps working with local groups to set up a charity drive & help out some of the homeless women in Oxford who are most affected by period poverty. So if you're ever at a loss for a tampon, check out the toilets by the JHB reception for some free ones.
For the second International Women's Week I've run, I put on a series of events, including very popular talks on abortion in Ireland and the history of women's liberation and events from other groups like the African-Caribbean society and a drop-in pole fitness class! This year it'll be bigger and better if I'm re-elected! I'll work with students to create a programme of varied events that champion intersectionality and cater to everyone.
This year, I also helped to produce 'The Little Book of LGBTQ+' after lobbying the university to install more gender neutral toilets. The booklet has advice for LGBTQ+ students including how to change your name and gender on the university system, where to find gender neutral toilets, wellbeing resources, reading lists and more. It's something I'm very proud of and we'll shortly be uploading an electronic version to the SU website.
Another part of my job that a lot of students aren't especially aware of is the handling of student complaints and concerns. Sometimes students approach the union or myself directly with issues they need help deciding a course of action for. It's one of the most rewarding parts of the role, being able to see a complaint case or other course of action through and help a student overcome a difficulty. It's certainly something I want to do more of next year, so whilst I'm a student who has lectures and societies just like you, if I'm re-elected I want to remain approachable and be able to do more to help individuals with their issues at university.
I have major plans to improve accountability and make it easier for the students I'm mandated to represent to make their voices heard. I'll be hosting multiple women's forums throughout the year to give women and nonbinary students the chance to come and let me know about the issues affecting them and what improvements they'd like to see. I'll also be giving Union Council reports from every meeting, so the actions I'm undertaking are widely documented and transparent.
Thanks for taking the time to read this. Again, drop me a message if you have any questions or want to know more. I hope you'll consider lending me your support in the coming weeks.

In our last post we addressed the floor in a basement finish in Philadelphia. Now we're going to turn our attention to the walls: We recommend covering all the walls — both party walls and front and back — with 3 inches of closed cell (2-lb.), soy-based spray polyurethane foam. Leave any existing dirt and debris on the basement walls before spraying, as it actually helps to break up the continuous bond. Let me explain.
A very common mistake is to assume an impermeable membrane, such as rubber, is the appropriate solution to basement water problems. In fact, by trapping the moisture on one side or the other, you end up either with a damp basement or water trapped in your concrete foundation (not a good thing).
The idea is to let the water come in, then drain between the spray foam and the foundation, where it runs down to the drainage mat, to the sump pump, and out of the house. That's why you want the spray foam to stick to the drainage mat at the bottom of the wall and tie into the floor framing above, but not to fully adhere in the middle. The other benefit of all this spray foam is you end up with a super-insulated basement.
When framing the basement, we'd use 1-1/2 inch metal studs covered with drywall, which also provides fire resistance (if you're not finishing the space, you can just use intumescent paint applied right to the foam). If the plans call for vapor barrier, I would recommend a 6-mil polyethylene sheet which has a relatively low thermal mass, again minimizing condensation on one side or the other.
One last point — if you're considering finishing a basement, I would highly suggest looking into an appropriately sized air exchanger down there. This equipment can do wonders for air quality, mold prevention, moisture minimization, auto-immune disease prevention, etc.
Phew. That's enough tech speak for one day. Next week I'm going to post a brief treatise about foundations for detached homes, one which many clients have found invaluable.

Taking a walk to try and clear his mind,
Thinking with his feet and wasting a little time,
He heard chirping and felt somewhat better,
Around the next corner his final endeavour.
He found the puppet sat as if in rest,
With the heart removed from its chest,
He looked upon the chirping birds nest,
And knew this choice was for the best.
He took the chicks and raised them good,
Did the best any mother Sparrow could,
He took them to a field one day,
Thus setting them free to fly away.
No longer making what he once loved,
He was more content to watch the doves fly above,
In his final days he came to realise,
That biological love is both truthful and wise.

It's easy to be mesmerized by Beyoncé's rapid-fire dance moves. The dramatic "Crazy in Love" leg strut. The "Run the World" shoulder shrug. And, most famously, the "Single Ladies" hand-wave that inspired endless dance covers, parodies and flash mobs (and hopefully some marriage proposals).
It's safe to say my jazz hands and box steps (thanks, high school choir) don't hold a candle to Beyoncé's body-rolling or booty-shaking.
In preparation for seeing the Queen Bey at the Baltimore stop on her world tour "Formation," I decided to sharpen my dance skills and embrace my inner diva at a Beyoncé-inspired dance fitness class at District Groove in Chevy Chase.
The two-hour workout features a blend of jazz, African, hip-hop and dance-hall dance styles by incorporating choreography from Beyoncé's music videos and live performances. The class I chose, "Formation," combined moves from the singer's show-stealing halftime performance at the 2016 Super Bowl and the music video that features New Orleans imagery and highlights social activism.
[Serena Williams explains how she ended up twerking in Beyonce's 'Lemonade']
On a recent Saturday, a dozen dancers trickled into the large, mirrored studio space. For the first few minutes, we stretched, preparing physically and mentally to take on Beyoncé's moves. We went around the room, introducing ourselves and briefly sharing our motivations for taking the course.
Half of the class members were devoted Beyoncé fans; two sisters, Adaisha Kemp and Ashley Garrison, have been fans of the pop star since her Destiny's Child days. They managed to score tour tickets and are planning to enjoy her Baltimore concert with eight other girlfriends. Johanna Olivas, a soon-to-be Johns Hopkins graduate student, received a package of classes from her husband as an early graduation present. Michelle Jacobs, a high school math teacher, gifted herself five lessons in preparation for her 40th birthday party.
But there was also a small legion of non-Beyhive-members, including Trevor Richardson, 25, a junior at the University of Maryland. The only male in attendance, he had come to the class for a good workout. A self-proclaimed Goo Goo Dolls fan, he had never seen or even listened to the "Formation" track.
As we began to get into our starting formation, Amina Vohra, 33, a professional dancer and owner of District Groove, encouraged us to approach the class with an open mind and to not be too hard on ourselves if our dance skills did not stack up to stadium-level standards. No pressure.
Before we got moving, I set my own class intention: I would embrace my inner Sasha Fierce and if — or should I say when — I stumbled, I would try to recover as fiercely and quickly as Beyoncé at the Super Bowl. Because, unlike B, I was pretty sure my moves would not be flawless.
The class simplifies every few lines of the song into manageable bits of choreography. Moves range from basic gestures (head nodding) to full-body popping (chest out, butt out). Harder moves, in which feet, torso and arms are involved, are broken down even further into easily digestible parts. Vohra routinely surveyed the students to spot troublesome areas and reinforce learned moves by repeating choruses and bridge sequences.
[Meet the up-and-comers Beyoncé deemed worthy of starring in her visual album]
"Okay, ladies, now let's get in formation . . . prove to me you got some coordination," Beyoncé belted encouragingly over the sound system.
Vohra has offered dance classes, inspired by mega performers such as Britney Spears and Michael Jackson, since 2011. But when District Groove introduced a Beyoncé-inspired course in 2014 (at the request of her students) she realized she had discovered a gold mine.
Demand spiked, especially among Beyoncé fans, who commonly show up to classes in concert T-shirts and outfits inspired by the singer's music-video apparel.
"It's definitely a full-body workout. The simplified version, by itself, is exhausting," Vohra says. "Just imagine being Beyoncé and having to do the full version, in high heels, while singing."
I suddenly felt grateful for my old, tattered sneakers.
The first half-hour was shaky, as I tried to control and coordinate my hands and feet to move with the rest of my body. But an hour into it, I felt my confidence building. What I lacked in direction, I made up for in hair flips and attitude.
I caught myself letting go and mouthing along to the lyrics, hoping the words would encourage my two left feet to stay in rhythm: "I dream it, I work hard, I grind till I own it."
[What happens when you send a 'Star Wars' superfan to a lightsaber workout class]
Quick water breaks turned into an exchange of thoughts on Beyoncé's visual album, "Lemonade," and friendly chatter.
"What's your favorite track?"
"Wait, can you do that move again? Tell me you practiced the video at home before class!"
By the end of the course, I had "Formation" fever and was feeling decidedly more divalike. (I'd also burned nearly 500 calories, according to Vohra's teaching assistant.) Repetition helped my movements became less jerky and more fluid. My favorite move, deemed the "No Boys" (sorry, Trevor), involved waving our hands in front of our faces while confidently leaning back. I have to remember to bring that one to the bar with me.
At the end of class, we recorded two music videos to demonstrate our newly mastered steps. While Beyoncé videos probably have multiple sets, costume changes and takes, we had an iPhone camera on a tripod.
On the first try, I fumbled a bit and felt frustrated. But by the second, I didn't care. I was laughing, bouncing and greatly amused by my progress.
So, Beyoncé, if you're reading this, I'll be in the nosebleed section June 10. If you, for any reason, forget your "Formation" moves mid-show, you know where to look.
Beyoncé Dance Course — Beginners

January 2018 Newsletter/
As the sun set on 2017, and I looked back over everything we have done in the last year, I am filled with gratitude and appreciation for every person who puts their heart and soul into our airport. Every business owner, technician, pilot, instructor, student... YOU are the reason KLVJ is growing into a General Aviation destination and professional aviation facility. And for many of us who spend more time inside the fence than out, KLVJ is our home, and I am proud of everything we have accomplished.
2018 will be my 4th year at KLVJ as the Airport Operations Manager, and the last 3 years have been a whirlwind of activity, tremendous growth, relentless hard-work, laughs, loss, new friendships and a community like no other I have experienced. I couldn't ask for a better place to be, or better people to work with. Our annual fuel sales continue to surpass previous years, for both fuel types. That is something worth celebrating, and it needs to be mentioned how grateful we are to have such a loyal community backing us up!
2018 will also bring new challenges and opportunities for KLVJ and we welcome them with open arms. We will focus on airport improvement projects while continuing to provide the highest level of service and as always, reinforce safety as our top priority. Stephen, Trevor and I remain dedicated to improving the lives of each tenant and visitor. Please stop by the FBO or give us a call if we can assist you in any way.
Safe flying,
Adam Arceneaux
Airport Manager
In May, the airport received a grant from the FAA for security and safety improvements. A few of the safety items that will be included in the project are: new markings for the runway, upgrades to the electrical vault for the airport lights, new illuminated runway signs, and security gate enhancements.
Projects included in the improvements include:
All new runway markings
All new taxiway striping
New centerline for taxiway/Airfield Lane
Relocating and replacing illuminated signs to comply with FAA distance standards
New regulators
Runway safety markings including flashing lights
Replacement of main entrance gate
The project went out for bid in early December and a contractor has been selected. We anticipate the work will begin in Spring 2018
Visit the Land for Sale page on our website or download the brochure to see the reduced sale price on the remaining lots.
Pearland Regional Airport is offering a rare opportunity to own property at a growing, privately-owned airport! There are currently four lots available, ranging in size from 10,300 square feet to 4.8 acres. All lots have direct airfield access and can be developed for private or commercial use.

Full moon rising over LVJ. We're looking forward to the Super Blue Moon at the end of the month.

Familiar Face Back at Helm for Tyler Boys
By TRACY WATSON
KIDWELL — It's "Back to the Future" for the Tyler Consolidated boys' basketball program as the Silver Knights welcome back former, ultra-successful coach Rick Leach.
Leach was the coach at Tyler Consolidated between 1994-2008, a stretch in which the Knights captured eight sectional titles, four regional titles and made a trip to the state final four. Since then, Leach has been the athletics director at Parkersburg South High School for the last 10 years.
"Honestly, I probably left coaching too early," Leach said. "And I still have the bug. I joked with our AD that I had all the answers doing that job, now I have to back-it up on the sidelines.
"When I talked about coming back I wanted to get to know all of the kids and one of the biggest things I got to know was that why I didn't know a lot about them, I had coached a lot of their dads and uncles."
The Silver Knights will be a senior-dominated team with eight on a roster that includes 12 players. A pair of those seniors are returning starters in 5-foot-9 guard Dylan Roberts, a three-year starter. The other is 6-foot forward Nate Lancaster.
Junior Griffin, the quarterback on the football team, returns as a 6-2 guard while 6-4 sophomore center Tyler West was a part-time starter a season ago. Mark Rucker, a 6-2 guard-forward, sophomore will be the fifth starter, a kid that Leach calls a "stud and very athletic."
Sophomore Gage Huffman (6-1, guard) will see playing time along with 6-3 senior forward Steven Ross. Others off the bench include seniors Kyle Mason (5-10, guard), Luke Daugherty (6-1, forward), Mark Wilson (5-9, guard), Colby Buchanan (5-9, guard) and Adam Efaw (6-2, forward).
Assisting Leach will be a pair of former players in D.J. Cunningham and Robby Jones, both who have been in the system the last two years.
"If the kids let me, I will have a roster with a nine-man rotation, but if they are not good with that or it doesn't work I can play with six also," Leach said. "The summer allowed me to do some evaluations in getting to my "just start over philosophy."
"I can see that we have athletes, which is something Tyler Consolidated has always had. But in my 13 years as head coach here, I had maybe four actual basketball players and the rest were just athletes. There is no question that I know we can succeed with athletes."
Leach also knows that the key to winning is trying to install a winning attitude in the program.
"While there have been plenty of athletes, it has still been 11 years since the last winning season here. You have to have players to win, but you also have to have a winning attitude. These kids are doing the right things, but it hasn't been pretty for a while.
"I watched them play about five times lasts year, and honestly, I wasn't very happy with what I saw. I felt like they should have won five or six more games than they did. But these kids are coachable and I think the positive attitudes are coming along.
"The biggest thing is that as a player, you have to hate losing more than you like winning. I think they have gotten a little complacent here and have become used to losing and that mindset has to change.
"In past history I like to run programs where the kids play and fight as a team, with no super-stars. I don't need a 30-point scorer to be successful, I would rather have five or six double-figure scorers at about 13-14 apiece."
Leach's second tenure in Kidwell will begin with trips to Valley and Cameron to open the season, and four of their first five games on the road.
"Our first meeting we set some goals, and of course the first one is easy and that is a state championship," Leach said. "And the biggest thing we have to do to have a shot to get to that point is play well against the teams in our section and region. That makes those first two games very important.
"It all starts with giving yourself an opportunity to get out of the sectional and moving forward. You have to set goals early on, but then you have to reset them as you go along.
"Our schedule is a tough one for Class A, but I have played tougher schedules with a lot of bigger schools. I didn't have anything to do with making it, but we will go out and play it and do our best. Playing some good Class A competition will allow us gauge where we are."

Like many travelers around the world, the Grand Canyon was at the top of Marketing Communications Director Katie's bucket list. So, when she set out on our U.S. National Parks: The Grand Canyon to Yellowstone tour, she knew she was in for the experience of a lifetime. One thing Katie didn't expect? To be amazed by the stunning scenery from so many different angles. Here are 3 excursions she recommends for finding new perspective on a U.S. national parks tour.
Riding a horse through the Grand Tetons
Grand Teton National Park was picture-perfect. After experiencing it by foot and by bus during our sightseeing tour, I was excited to return there during the Grand Tetons by Horseback excursion. We rode through Wyoming's backcountry in the peaceful Snake River Valley. Eventually, we reached a viewpoint that can only be described as amazing. The guides were so knowledgeable—one even pointed out a tree trunk that had claw marks from a grizzly bear! The horses were well-trained too. I'd recommend this 2-hour journey to seasoned riders and first-timers alike. Seeing the scenery from the back of a horse was a wonderful experience, and showed me a side of the mountain range I hadn't seen from other directions.
Floating down Snake River
Later that same afternoon, my group was treated to another angle of the Grand Tetons during the Snake River Float excursion. This relaxing raft ride took us down the Snake River, which flows through Washington, Oregon, Idaho, and Wyoming. Nature takes its course in this region, so the scenery is always changing. Our guide had been out along the same route earlier that day, and noticed that a tree had fallen since that morning. Along with more incredible views of the soaring Grand Tetons set against the blue sky, there were some unexpected surprises along the way too. My favorite one? Catching a glimpse of a moose at the edge of the water.
Flying high above the Grand Canyon
When I woke up on the fifth day of the trip, my first thought was "Today, I'm going to do something I'll always remember!" And I did. Walking along the South Rim of the Grand Canyon was absolutely incredible. The views of the orange-hued rock formation were unbeatable. Or so I thought, until the next day. Seeing the massive canyon from a bird's-eye view proved to be even more awe-inspiring.
The Grand Canyon Helicopter Ride was the most thrilling half hour of my tour. I wasn't alone—every traveler that joined this excursion felt the same way. As we took to the sky, with between 4 and 6 travelers in each helicopter, we could see the Colorado River running through the steep walls of the canyon. Having an aerial view of the Grand Canyon made me appreciate its immensity in a way I couldn't when I was standing on the ground.
While many travelers want to see the Grand Canyon, this tour offers so much more beyond that. Every day of this trip brought new natural beauty to marvel at, and having the chance to see the same unbelievable sites from multiple perspectives made this trip so memorable.

Mitsubishi Galant VR-4
The Mitsubishi Galant VR-4 (Viscous realtime 4wd) was the range-topping version of Mitsubishi Motors' Galant model, available in the sixth (1988–92), seventh (1992–96) and eighth (1996–2002) generations of the vehicle. Originally introduced to comply with the new Group A regulations of the World Rally Championship, it was soon superseded as Mitsubishi's competition vehicle by the Lancer Evolution, and subsequently developed into a high-performance showcase of the company's technology.
Background and competition historyEdit
Throughout the 1970s and 1980s, Mitsubishi Motors Corporation (MMC) sought to improve its image through the established path of participation in motorsport. The Lancer 1600 GSR and Pajero/Montero/Shogun both achieved great success in rallying and Rally Raid events,[1][2] and eventually the company planned an attempt on the Group B class of the World Rally Championship with a four-wheel drive version of its Starion coupé. However, the class was outlawed following several fatal accidents in 1985 and '86, and Mitsubishi was forced to reassess its approach. It instead homologated the recently introduced sixth generation of its Galant sedan for the Group A class, using the mechanical underpinnings from its aborted Starion prototype. Between 1988 and '92, it was campaigned by the official factory outfit, Mitsubishi Ralliart Europe, winning three events in the hands of Mikael Ericsson (1989 1000 Lakes Rally),[3] Pentti Airikkala (1989 Lombard RAC Rally)[4] and Kenneth Eriksson (1991 Swedish Rally).[5] It was also driven to outright victory in the Asia-Pacific Rally Championships by Kenjiro Shinozuka (1988) and Ross Dunkerton (1991–92), and the American National GT Championship (1992) by Tim O'Neil.[6]
However, Mitsubishi — and their competitors — realised that the WRC cars of the '80s were simply too big and ungainly for the tight, winding roads of rally stages. Sometime around 1992, Ford migrated the Sierra/Sapphire Cosworth to a smaller Escort-based bodyshell; Subaru developed the Impreza to succeed their Legacy; Toyota eventually replaced the Celica coupe with the Corolla; and Korea's Hyundai migrated their front-wheel drive Coupe-based rally car to a smaller 3-door Accent hatchback-based bodyshell in 1999. Mitsubishi, meanwhile, carried the VR-4's engine/transmission over to the new Lancer Evolution, bringing to an end the Galant's representation in MMC's motorsport efforts.

5-speed manual | successor = Mitsubishi Mirage Evolution / Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution }} Group A regulations dictated a turbocharged engine of 2.0 L displacement and a four-wheel drive transmission. In order to satisfy the mandatory minimum sales requirements of 5,000 units, Mitsubishi made it available in North America, New Zealand, Australia, Japan, and other Asian Pacific Rim territories, with 2,000 reaching the United States in 1991, and 1000 units imported in 1992.[7] It also satisfied Japanese regulations concerning external dimensions and engine displacement, thereby reducing a sales handicap in Japan with regards to additional taxes paid by Japanese owners. In road-going trim the four-door sedan produced up to 195 horsepower depending on market, giving the car a top speed of over 130 mph (210 km/h) and allowing it to accelerate from 0-60 in 7.3 seconds, with a quarter mile elapsed time of 15.3 seconds. This car also featured power-assisted speed-sensitive four-wheel steering: the rear wheels steered in the same phase as the front wheels above 30 mph (48 km/h), up to 1.5 degrees.
A liftback version was also produced, known as the Eterna ZR-4. This had some minor cosmetic differences, but mechanically was the same as the VR-4 sedan.
Mitsubishi developed its first high performance four-wheel drive vehicle in 1987, when it equipped the Galant VR-4 with "Dynamic Four" (Mitsubishi AWC), which featured a center differential-type full-time four-wheel drive system (this system incorporated a viscous coupling unit), a four wheel steering system, four-wheel independent suspension, and a four-wheel ABS (the first total integration of these systems in the world that were highly advanced at the time).

Seventh generation (E84A/E74A)Edit
For 1992, the emergence of the homologated Lancer Evolution meant that the top-spec Galant VR-4 was no longer constrained by sporting regulations. The new generation thus became a less overtly competition oriented vehicle. The existing, proven 4WD transmission was carried over, in keeping with Mitsubishi's reputation for performance-enhancing technology, but the old inline-four was superseded by a smoother twin-turbo 2.0-litre V6, and mated either to a conventional five-speed manual, or a four-speed INVECS auto complete with "fuzzy logic", which allowed the transmission to adapt to the driver's style and road conditions "on the fly". It was capable of accelerating from 0-60 mph (97 km/h) in about 6.5 seconds, and if derestricted could reach about 140 mph (230 km/h).[citation needed]
Variants of the VR-4 using the same engine and drivetrain were sold in Japan as the Eterna XX-4 liftback (1992) and Galant Sports GT liftback (1994–96) and the Evo 3 1994.

The final VR-4 Meaning Viscous Realtime Four Wheel Drive was introduced in 1996. The engine capacity was enlarged substantially to 2.5 L, which pushed the power up by 15 percent to the Japanese voluntary limit of 206 kW (280 PS; 276 hp), but no longer satisfied Japanese regulations concerning engine displacement size and, as a result, Japanese buyers were now liable for additional yearly tax requirements. The car was now capable of over 150 mph (240 km/h) when derestricted, and could accelerate from 0-60 mph (0–96 km/h) in 5.7 seconds for the INVECS-II and 5.4 for the manual.[8][9]
The Type-V model could be specified with either the existing 5-speed manual or the optional INVECS-II, which was now an advanced self-learning 5-speed semi-auto based on Porsche's Tiptronic transmission, while the Type-S model offered the optional Active Yaw Control (AYC). This complex rear diff was first seen on the Lancer Evo IV, and used an array of sensors to detect and quell oversteer, giving the ultimate VR-4 great agility for a vehicle of its size and weight. A Super VR-4 variant was sold on both the Galant sedan and the Legnum wagon, with only cosmetic changes such as Recaro front seats and Momo steering wheel.
With the eighth generation of the Galant, Mitsubishi introduced a station wagon (known in many markets as the Legnum) to replace the old 5-door hatchback, and the VR-4 was now available in both body styles.
North America and Europe were again denied this model, but the burgeoning grey import trade meant that it developed a cult following in several overseas territories, especially the United Kingdom and New Zealand. In 2000 MMC's motorsport partner Ralliart was contracted to type-approve Galants and Lancers for UK sales, and 200 VR-4s were officially imported before production finally ceased two years later due to expensive build costs and no market interest.

Gallery: VIM and vigor: Grant will help Volunteers In Medicine patients manage diabetes
It took time for 60-year-old Debra Owens to accept her diagnosis of diabetes. She heard horror stories of people losing life and limbs because of the disease, and she didn't want the same fate.
After accepting that she had the diabetes, she took action to fight it.
She started paying closer attention to what she ate. She eliminated sodas, ate kale salad every day and cut back on sweets. She started walking at Hamilton Place mall five days a week. She walked the top and bottom floors of the mall at least once, sometimes twice if her arthritis allowed it.
She's lost 20 pounds since January 2016.
Now, Owens is one of 60 diabetic patients at Volunteers in Medicine who will benefit from a new 21-day immersion program launched with a $35,000 grant from the CVS Health Foundation.
Volunteers In Medicine is one of 33 clinics across the country to receive the funding. The immersion program starts in June.
"At first I asked, 'How in the world could this happen?' I've always tried to eat healthy," says Owens. "Once I got over the shock, I decided I need to find out what to do to reverse it."
The grant provides Volunteers In Medicine with resources to help people manage or reverse diabetes, which affects how the body manages glucose, or blood sugar, levels.
The funding will be used to purchase lunch and dinner for patients for 21 days. They also will participate in nutrition and fitness classes, says VIM Executive Director Ashley Evans.
Volunteers In Medicine is partnering with PlantPure, a plant-based frozen-food company, to supply the meals. PlantPure meals include dishes like spaghetti with meatballs, Japanese vegetable curry, Creole beans with rice and African stew.
Evans says the grant is a major win for the free clinic, located next to the Eastgate branch of the Chattanooga Public Library.
The clinic treats patients with no health insurance. The majority of patients are below poverty and don't make enough money to purchase insurance through the Affordable Care Act. When they try, they're told they don't qualify for it and that they should apply for TennCare, but patients have to meet certain conditions to get TennCare, so although they are very low income, they still don't get health insurance, says Evans.
She said 1 in 6 people in this area have no health insurance.
"The whole time we've been here, we haven't had an ongoing, sustained wellness approach," says Evans. "We tend to see people who are very ill, who have not had access to medical care at all, so we are just combating their current conditions. This grant gives us opportunity to approach things from the front end and try to stop some things in their tracks."
Evans says she expects to see huge differences in patient's biometrics, weight, waist measurements and blood sugar levels. All those numbers tend to decrease on a plant-based diet. She also looks forward to patients seeing how diet affects their health and learning more about what foods they should eat.
Volunteers In Medicine treated more than 100 patients with diabetes through medication oversight, diet plans and quarterly education talks, according to VIM's news release.
The grant will fund a "Lifestyle Education Program To Address Diabetes." The program seeks to help prevent reverse and manage diabetes.
In 2016, VIM saw more than 5,000 patient visits valued at more than $2 million at clinic rate and more than $8 million at emergency room rates. The clinic, which opened in 2005, is privately funded by foundations, churches, individuals and businesses. The clinic treats patients who have no medical insurance and charges them nothing for medical care.
Owens says the clinic has been a life saver for her.
She worked nearly 20 years for BellSouth in Atlanta before getting laid off and losing her health insurance. She eventually returned to Chattanooga to care for her father, who has cancer. Project Access on Third Street in Chattanooga referred her to Volunteers In Medicine after she needed care for her own rheumatoid arthritis. Project Access is administered by the Chattanooga & Hamilton County Medical Society to determine if patients qualify for free medical care and then refers them to a facility within the network for the care they need.
Owens says the VIM staff always address her medical needs and treat her well while they do it.
"You know how you dread and say, 'Oh, I've got to go to the doctor today," says Owens. "When you get ready to go to Volunteers In Medicine, it's just a happy feeling because everybody is just so helpful. It's just a delightful place to go."

text: Florida second grader Anaya Daily noticed a classmate who needed shoes, but couldn't afford them. This gave her the idea to launch a drive called "Anaya's Shoebox," to help all kids who need shoes be able to get a new pair. Gift cards and shoe donations came in and she ended up being able to give new shoes to every kid in her school who needed a pair. She wants to expand the drive to the whole country! Great job, Anaya!

How do we keep opioid pain relief from destroying lives?
Prescription opioid painkillers can bring relief from crippling pain. Too often, though, they ruin and even end the lives they were meant to help.
Almost 19,000 Americans died of prescription opioid overdoses in 2014 — more than four times the 1999 toll.
How can we keep a medical treatment from destroying lives through misuse, over-use, accidental overdose, diversion into recreational use, or addiction?
Insurers like Aetna are in a position to try to help. Because they see claims for the prescriptions a patient fills including prescriptions from various doctors or dentists filled at various pharmacies, insurers have the chance to catch potential dangers that others may miss. They can raise a red flag, reach out to the patient and those prescribing the drugs, offer education and treatment, and potentially ward off disaster before it's too late.
"Our goals are to reduce supply, manage appropriate use, increase adoption of medication-assisted treatment, and reduce the rate of opioid related overdoses, ER visits, and deaths," said Hyong Un, M.D., chief psychiatric officer of Aetna Behavioral Health.
Step 1: Preventing opioid misuse, overuse
One of the best ways to prevent misuse or addiction is to find alternatives to the drug from the start. Another is to limit the use of such drugs to only a short period of time. For this to work, education of everyone involved – doctors, dentists, patients — is critical. For example, Aetna has long had programs to educate dentists (who write one in every eight opioid prescriptions) about the dangers associated with opioids and other pain relief options.
There are enough prescriptions written each year for every man and woman in America to have a bottle of opioids.
More recently, Aetna's Resources for Living, offered through its employee assistance program, has begun to help members manage and end their use of opioids. The education program encourages people to take the least amount possible for the shortest period of time necessary. It also prompts members to think about alternatives for pain relief. For example, a recent study found that mindfulness exercise was more effective than opioids in treating chronic back pain.
Sometimes the immediate danger of opioids lies not just in the drug itself, but also in the way it interacts with other drugs. In an effort to reduce that risk, Aetna watches its pharmacy claims for dangerous combinations of drugs. For example, , because of complications arising from the way the medications interact, someone taking an anxiety medicine and an opioid could end up in the ER or worse. By setting up alerts in its pharmacy systems, Aetna strives to warn patients, pharmacists and prescribers. Where possible, we attempt to do so before the patient walks out of the pharmacy with the second drug.
Step 2: Intervention
One or two claims for an opioid are not typically a cause for alarm. On the other hand, when a patient receives multiple prescriptions, from multiple doctors or dentists, or is filling them at multiple pharmacies, the potential for misuse or abuse is far greater. Aetna works to identify these latter scenarios, so red flags can be raised.
What happens next? That depends on the particular facts, such as how many prescriptions the member is filling. "If the member has filled prescriptions for four or more controlled substances within the same drug class, we send letters to the prescribers alerting them," Dr. Un explained. "If the member continues to get more opioids, and especially if he is getting them from multiple doctors and multiple pharmacies, we'll send letters to prescribers and the member, and call the prescribers to make sure they're aware of the potential problem. We'll refer the patient to a behavioral health specialist to help them quit the drugs. We can even deny the claim at the pharmacy if a member tries to fill another prescription, when that's warranted."
Aetna's Special Investigations Unit is also often alerted when the Pharmacy area sees high volumes of opioid prescriptions being filled. While most opioid prescriptions and the pharmacies filling them are legitimate, Aetna can contact officials, such as regulators and law enforcement, if it sees evidence of illegal use or sale of prescription drugs.
Step 3: Treatment for opioid abuse
Sometimes people know they have a problem, but stigma keeps them from seeking treatment. Aetna is encouraging early treatment by reducing that stigma. It's a founding member of the Campaign to Change Direction, which teaches the five sign of emotional suffering to help people recognize when they or someone else needs help. Aetna also offers Mental Health First Aid, an eight-hour program that teaches people how to identify and respond when someone is experiencing a mental health or substance abuse problem.
More than half a million Americans abuse heroin; most started out misusing prescription painkillers but turned to heroin because it was cheaper.
New approaches are also making inroads. Aetna and the Aetna Foundation collaborated to fund Narcan kits for law enforcement officers in Pennsylvania. In the past year, officers used the kits in more than 800 cases in to reverse overdose and potential death. Aetna also has integrated overdose screening into its behavioral health condition management program.
Aetna also has a program to provide care management to pregnant women on Medicaid with opioid addictions. The expecting mothers get treatment, and mother and child are followed by the same care manager for a year after birth to help them both stay healthy. In just the first six months of this program, Aetna saw neonatal intensive care unit admission rates drop by over 22 percent.
Step 4: Recovery
Substance abuse is a challenging condition to treat, with approximately half of the people who go through treatment relapsing. In an effort to reduce that number, Aetna continues to help find the most effective ways to help people recover. For example, Aetna is part of a research partnership funded by the National Institute of Drug Abuse that has almost doubled the use of medication-assisted treatment of substance abuse in Southeastern Pennsylvania and Maryland. In addition, we are working with organizations such as the National Institute of Drug Abuse, Ohio State Health University, University of California San Francisco and the University of Texas to study best practices in reducing the prevalence of drug abuse.
Once research has proven the effectiveness of different approaches, the next step is to encourage providers to use them. To that end, Aetna is beginning to develop value-based contracts with drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers, to promote such evidence-based approaches to substance abuse disorder.

My Ode To My Milkman!
I had the neatest thing happen to me this morning! I got a call from Winder Farms. A man on the phone told me his name was Mark and that he hoped it was ok, but one of his collegues happened upon my blog and read about my horrible day (from my previous post). He said that Winder Farms wanted to credit my account for all of the milk I had lost. He said everyone has had a day like that and Winder Farms could sympathize. He said that when they read my post they felt so bad that they wanted to make it better. He said that they really appreciated my business and wanted to let me know it! He also wished me good luck with my baby that was on the way and he hoped all would go well!
How cool is that. I was beside myself that such a great company was out there that cared about each individual customer and wanted to make my life easier! I have to say that I feel that I really owe Winder Farms a great plug...if you haven't had their milk, it truly is yummy. Paden looks forward to his weekly Choco (chocolate milk) and when we are out, asks when the milk man is going to visit him again. I also have tried many of their other products such as their eggs, fruit, and their new meal solutions. I have been pleased with every product I have tried and I highly suggest their strawberry lemonade it is soooo good! I love how convenient it is to have it delivered to my house. I can't believe how much I save on groceries because I don't go to the store for milk and come back with a $100 grocery bill and lots of stuff I didn't really need.
If the food and convenience wasn't enough, I truly believe that my phone call this morning is the best reason of all. Who would have thought that little old me would be so valuable to them that they would want to make my rainy day have a little sunshine in it! Thank you Winder Farms for your great service and commitment to the customer! You have definitely retained my business for good! Here is their website if any of you are interested in getting this great service!

When it Rains, It Pours!!
I thought that this is a very appropriate phrase for today. Not only because it has been pouring all day, but also because of my day's events...
On my way home from Park City my windshield wiper broke...not just stopped working, but flung out of control and was vertical from my window. I had to drive from Salt Lake City to Kaysville without being able to completely see out my window (due to all the rain).
When we got home, I decided to go get something out in the garage. When I got out there, I noticed that something was leaking from our fridge outside. Just as I had feared, the fridge and freezer are not running. The stuff dripping out was thawed ice cream, popsicles, and many other frozen things...Luckily I had moved many of my freezer dinners to my indoor freezer just days before...but I still lost lots of stuff, and we are cooking a couple of meals that could not be re-frozen. Don't worry though, Ben's Coke was just fine, we are very fortunate that coke can be warm and then be re-chilled!
Then to top it off, about half way through the whole broken fridge ordeal, I realized that I had never gotten our Winder Dairy milk out of the milk box yesterday. It was a pretty warm day yesterday and I had to chuck 2 1/2 gallons of milk...
I tell you, when it rains, it pours!

Will Larry Wilmore Play a Character on 'The Nightly Show'? He Is Taking Over For Colbert, After All...
Although it has been enjoyable having @midnight on a half hour earlier on Comedy Central's weeknight programming, it's time to get things back to normal. The Nightly Show with Larry Wilmore is officially taking over the 11:30 pm time slot on Jan. 19 (The Colbert Report's old spot — *sniffle*), so will Wilmore play a fake character for The Nightly Show like the host of the former show did? Nope (sorry to those who really, really miss Colbert).
Wilmore, best known to the Comedy Central-watching world as the "Senior Black Correspondent" on The Daily Show will not be following in Stephen Colbert's shoes; The Nightly Show will feature Wilmore as Wilmore — no extreme caricature necessary. As Wilmore told the The New York Times , "I'm not just taking positions because they're funny. What's funny is generated from how I actually feel about something."
Wilmore's promos for The Nightly Show have him promising that the show is "like The Daily Show — but nightlier." So prepare for a show that is more Daily Show than Colbert Report. In an interview with New York Magazine, Wilmore said, "The fact of me being there sure makes it about race in some way, but that's not what the show's about. We're not doing a race show or 30 minutes of Senior Black Correspondent. It is me doing a show the way Jon Stewart does his show."
As much as I love Colbert and his fake persona, I'm happy that Wilmore is staying true to himself. Obviously, it's a formula that works as Stewart has shown us. Just like Wilmore (who Stewart personally chose to replace Colbert), Colbert started as a correspondent on The Daily Show before doing The Colbert Report. Colbert was consistent with his outrageous character when delivering news between the two shows. So it makes sense that Wilmore keeps the character he has previously shown us on The Daily Show — himself.
Of course, this isn't CNN (which Stewart is very grateful for) — it's Comedy Central. So The Nightly Show will deliver the news with a comedic edge like its predecessor. According to The New York Times Wilmore's show's format will "regularly feature a panel discussion: a scripted comedy version of what is seen on Sunday-morning talk." Although the show will be fine-tuned as it goes, there will be "players" instead of "correspondents" (but will function very much like The Daily Show correspondents) and Wilmore will most likely start each show with a take on the news from behind his desk (à la Stewart and Colbert).
If the show seems like it may suffer from some sort of identity crisis, it's more that Wilmore is just open to being flexible. News shows and comedy depend on being able to change. As information comes in, our perception of the news changes; jokes sometimes land, sometimes don't. "The show is not going to look the same on Day 1 as it will on Day 10 or on Day 100," Comedy Central president Michele Ganeless told The New York Times. "It will continue to evolve."
And Wilmore and company showed they could already roll with the punches when the show changed its name. Originally, the show was called The Minority Report with Larry Wilmore , but when it was announced that a TV pilot based on the Steven Spielberg film The Minority Report was being planned, the showrunners decided to go in a different direction to minimize confusion. The New York Times reported that Wilmore considered Meet the Rest since he considers his show to be "a cousin of Meet the Press," but the name The Nightly Show won. (Particularly because it fits so well in between The Daily Show and @midnight, chronologically speaking.)
So The Nightly Show will be a change for Colbert fans, but it's a welcome one. And at the very least, @midnight can get back to its regularly scheduled time. It is in the damn name after all.
