Key basics to attaining and maintaining your physical fitness …
A retired couple decided they should walk two miles a day to stay in shape. They chose to walk a mile out on a lonely country road so they would have no choice but to walk back. At the one-mile mark on their first venture, the man asked his wife, "Do you think you can make it back all right, or are you too tired?"
"Oh no," she answered, "I'm not tired, I can make it fine."
"Good," replied the husband. "I'll wait here. You go back, get the car and come get me."
Taking stock of your personal fitness level and deciding to improve it can be a challenge, often a bigger mental challenge than it is physically. But some good news is that regular exercise toughens the mind as well as the body. After working out three times a week for six months, one group was found to be 20 percent more fit. The bonus? They also scored 70 percent better in a test of complex decision-making.
Maybe you have taken stock of your current fitness level and are thinking you need to make some improvements. If you give good attention to some key basics to physical fitness, you'll make progress! Those key basics can be summarized like this:
MOVEMENT or ACTIVITY
The same is true with the physical body; it wasn't designed to be "anchored" or just to sit, but rather, it was designed to be active. Movement and activity are necessary sources designed for keeping our bodies physically fit.
God designed our bodies to be used! Historically, people used to have some level of manual labor or more active work as a part of their everyday lives. Recreation also used to be more physically active. Now, we spend long days sitting in chairs in front of computer screens before going home and entertaining ourselves in front of other screens playing video games, watching television, or indulging in Netflix movie marathons.
The result is that many of us have developed mostly sedentary lifestyles, which don't provide for an adequate, natural maintenance of our physical bodies, and so we find ourselves lacking in physical fitness and more susceptible to serious health issues.
Adding regular workouts at the gym can be a great way to begin improving your fitness, but many people who do so remain sedentary outside of those gym workouts. A single workout for an hour usually can't compete with all those other hours of sedentary lifestyle. It's great to add times of exercise and physical workouts to your week, but those workouts aren't to be the only movement and activity you have; instead, focused physical workouts should be a significant supplement to a more active lifestyle.
Thinking that a workout two or three times a week will overcome an otherwise sedentary way of living and working is an inaccurate assumption. In fact, new studies have revealed that living a sedentary life largely composed around sitting can be dangerous for our health, with one report calling sitting the "new cancer." The American Cancer Society has reported the following:
"Did you know that sitting for six or more hours daily can elevate your chances of dying from cancer and other major disease — even if you maintain a healthy weight and don't smoke?
"This startling finding emerged from a review of data from the American Cancer Society's Prevention Study II (CPS-II). Researchers concluded that:
- Women who sat for six or more hours daily faced a 37 percent greater risk of death as compared to those who sat for three hours or less.
- For men, the increased risk of death for those who sat at least six hours daily was 17 percent.
- Those who did not exercise regularly and also sat for long periods faced even greater mortality rates — a startling 94 percent higher for women and 48 percent higher for men."
Another study revealed that we can help prevent such serious threats to our health, and contribute to improving our fitness, by standing and moving every 20 minutes. The study found the 20-minute mark to be optimal, but the bigger conclusion we can draw is the need for us to routinely stand and move a few times each hour that we're awake.
New York Times Phys Ed columnist, Gretchen Reynolds, offers the following:
"Sitting for long periods of time — when you don't stand up, don't move at all — tends to cause changes physiologically within your muscles," says Reynolds. "You stop breaking up fat in your bloodstream, you start getting accumulations of fat … in your liver, your heart and your brain. You get sleepy. You gain weight. You basically are much less healthy than if you're moving."
With such data available, it's no wonder that federal health guidelines recommend 30 minutes of moderate exercise — such as walking or jogging — every single day. Standing, moving, becoming more active, and adding in 30 minutes of moderate exercise every day can make a significant difference in your fitness level and your health. Personally, I think working out at the gym at least three days a week and engaging in cardio exercise at least five to six days each week are valuable targets to aim for.
A farmer once planted two fruit trees on opposite sides of his property. One tree he planted as a hedge to hide the unsightly view of an old landfill; he planted the other tree to provide shade to rest under next to a cool mountain stream that ran down beside his fields. As the two trees grew, they both began to produce fruit.
One day the farmer decided to gather the fruit from the tree nearest his house, which was the one used to provide a hedge from the landfill. As he brought the fruit inside the house, he noticed it looked a little deformed; the symmetry of the fruit wasn't good, although the fruit still looked edible. Later that evening, while sitting on his porch, the farmer took one of the pieces of fruit for a snack. Biting into the fruit, he found it to be extremely bitter and completely inedible.
Casting the worthless fruit aside, the farmer walked across the field to the other tree he had planted by the mountain stream, where he plucked a piece of fruit from it and bit into it. This fruit was sweet and delicious, so he gathered several more pieces of fruit and took them to his house.
One tree had as its source of nutrition a landfill — its roots reached down into a dump! The other had the mineral-rich earth fed by the crystal clear waters of a mountain stream. The nutrition of the tree determined the quality of its fruit.
The same is true for us!
Our nutrition, in its purest purpose for human beings, is fuel for our bodies. If we put junk into our bodies, doing so will eventually bring about negative and even dangerous results. If we fuel our bodies with clean, nutritious foods that provide what our bodies need and want, then positive results will come from doing so.
Some simple tips for providing our bodies with proper nutrition includes the following:
Eat "clean." Instead of eating from a dump (feeding off junk food), instead provide your body with organic food. No fillers, no preservatives, no junk included just to heighten taste while infusing into your body something that isn't good fuel for you.
Put some "nutrition" into your nutrition by actually eating what's good for you You know, things like fruits, vegetables, lean meats, "healthy" fats, etc.
Don't be a glutton! Today, we simply call that "portion control." Stop eating platters of food and reduce your caloric intake to what is a healthy intake for you rather than eating emotionally, or just for pleasure. Remember, you're fueling your body, not entertaining it!
A word about "rewards" and "treats." It's ironic that so many people who desperately need to improve their nutrition and overall fitness level (if not their baseline health itself) often have as the first question to starting a new commitment to better nutrition, "What about rewards and snacks?"
The best answer is, "Earn them!"
So many trainers just let it go, and people litter their new "nutrition plan" so full of "rewards" and "treats" that they're not making any progress. We're talking about your body, and what you put into it is entirely and completely within your control (generally speaking). STOP the pursuit of pleasure eating and only allow for "rewards" and "treats" once you've earned them by developing the practice of properly fueling your body. THEN the occasional reward or treat, or even a regularly planned, properly portioned dessert can be an acceptable part of your nutrition. But as long you feed the longing for those "rewards" and "treats," you'll likely not feed your body what it needs, or at least, not do so very well.
REST and RELAXTION
You know the old saying: all work and no play makes Johnny a dull boy. That's because all work and no play (relaxation), along with inadequate rest, burns up our energy and indeed dulls us physically, mentally, emotionally, and even spiritually.
Regardless of how busy we are, or what our responsibilities are, to acquire and maintain good physical fitness we need an appropriate amount of relaxation and rest for our minds and our bodies.
One researcher reported what just some of the benefits are for building into our lives time for relaxation and rest:
- It contributes to restoring our energy. Just by allowing ourselves to slow down and just relax, as well as sleep, helps our "batteries" to recharge and generate new energy that can then be applied to our work and recreation.
- It helps to repair our bodies. God designed our bodies to repair themselves from the daily wear and tear we impose on them, and this often happens while we rest. Most of us tend to skimp on our sleep time and push ourselves beyond appropriate physical limits on a daily basis, which prevents us from achieving optimal fitness and health. If we are constantly on the move and not getting enough sleep, we are using most of the energy we have to keep going. That means our bodies cannot devote enough energy to healing, so we suffer from fatigue or illness. Building in time for relaxation and rest allows our bodies the opportunity to direct our energy to healing and restoration.
- It contributes to calming our thoughts and improving our focus. When we set aside time to relax, we should also focus on quieting our thoughts and letting our minds rest. This can often be more restorative than the physical aspects of relaxation.
- It helps to lift our mood. Relaxation can simply help us feel happier! Whether we let our thoughts drift aimlessly, lose ourselves in a good book, or listen to music, just the act of resting relieves stress and allows us to feel content.
It seems obvious that sleep is beneficial for us, but that doesn't stop millions of people from severely depriving themselves of the sleep their bodies need. A Harvard medical school research project reported the following:
"Even without fully grasping what sleep does for us, we know that going without sleep for too long makes us feel terrible, and that getting a good night's sleep can make us feel ready to take on the world.
"Scientists have gone to great lengths to fully understand sleep's benefits. In studies of humans and animals, they have discovered that sleep plays a critical role in immune function, metabolism, memory, learning, and other vital functions."
So significant is the impact of sleep in more ways than one to our lives that the National Sleep Foundation recently conducted a special, two-year research project as part of it's 25th anniversary to update their most-cited guidelines on how much sleep we really need at each age. The results of that research are presented in the chart below:

In my Japanese house in the countryside, I don't have central heating. Just peripheral heating. In an era where just a simple word like "change" can get a president elected, I suggest that the next person running for prime minister in Japan use the slogan "central heat!"
The other day in the hardware store, I noticed a huge display of peripheral heating products to keep you warm. There are electric sofa blankets to place over the bottom cushions of your sofa, plug-in foot pockets for your feet, and electric zabuton pillows to sit on. The list goes on.
It's not a matter of which to buy, of course, but how many. These products are conveniently located next to the extension cords and multi-socket adapters, which are located next to the nabe pots.
Sure, why not plug in the nabe pot too? If overloading the electrical outlets in your house causes a fire, at least the burning house will keep you warm.
You gotta feel for arsonists in Japan — they're probably just trying to stay warm.
In old Japanese houses, a variety of factors ensures you are frozen solid all winter long. Single-paned windows, a lack of insulation and non-sealed windows and doors contribute to cold drafts as well as heat loss. You just couldn't plug in enough of those peripheral heating products to keep you warm.
Unless you happen to live in a hospital, where there seems to be no limit to the amount of electrical appliances. Maybe that's something hospitals should offer — a warm-up room.
At my parents' house in the United States, during the wintertime the field mice move inside where it's warm. In Japan during the winter, the mice move out. My house doesn't provide any warm, soft insulation in the walls for them to nest in during the cold months either. No wonder so many mice move to the cities. If I ever do insulate my Japanese house, I probably won't put the insulation in the walls, floor or ceiling. I'll just lay it on the living room floor and nest in it.
I wonder how many people go to the hospital each year with hypothermia from being inside these houses. You'd expect there to be public service announcements to heighten awareness of hypothermia. People should be able to go to the emergency warm-up room at the hospital.
It's no wonder so many elderly people die in Japan during the cold winter months. If you had a fever, you'd never even know it.
At times I have managed to heat one central room in the house to a livable temperature.
But to heat the entire house is not affordable. Places like hallways and bathrooms are still cold, which is why I believe the Japanese use heated toilet seats.
It's so cold in my bathroom that the spiders are wearing leg warmers. Even my white-furred feline friend is cold. But she's not as cold as the wild birds outside. Just the other day I noticed a bird swoop down and pick up a tuft of my cat's hair lying on the grass. Soon there will be white, fur-lined nests in trees all over the island. If you're like me, I've succumbed to using the denki (electric) carpet. As a result, I spend most of my winters in the horizontal position, in an effort to keep the entire body warm. By springtime I have bed sores.
But the denki carpet is so nice, I wonder why they don't have wall-to-wall denki carpet? You'd think they'd sell it in large carpet bolts. Has anyone ever tried this? Let me know if you have. I am very interested in doing research in this area, like coming over to your house and staying the entire winter.
The only problem I can see with wall-to-wall denki carpet is static electricity. You'd have to be very careful who you touch so you don't electrocute family members unintentionally.
Or how about carpeting the walls as well as the floor with denki carpet? That way you could lean against the wall and stay warm too. No more bed sores!
Oh, but the carpet burn . . .

Schenectady officials dispute city's bad showing in online crime ranking
Schenectady officials are disputing a website's ranking of Schenectady as one of the most dangerous small cities in America, saying the calculations are flawed and the numbers are "just factually incorrect."
The source of the data itself, the FBI and its 2012 uniform crime report, cautions against using the numbers to rank jurisdictions between each other, noting many factors impact crime and comparisons can be incomplete.
The rankings come from a blog post on the real estate site Movoto.com. The site wrote that it used the FBI's 2012 uniform crime report and seven types of reported crimes to rank all U.S. cities with a population between 50,000 and 75,000.
The site ranked Schenectady at No. 11.
Schenectady Mayor Gary McCarthy disputed the ranking Wednesday.
"I consider it unfortunate," he said. "It's just an incorrect analysis."
He questioned the site's method of calculating each city's crime per 100,000 residents. The author wrote that was done to calculate cities on an even playing field.
Deeper than that, McCarthy said crime is down in Schenectady, and it has been going down. Helping it decrease has been innovative policing methods that city police have been sharing with other departments.
According to state numbers, violent crimes in Schenectady have been on a steady downward trend since 2010, when there were 679. In 2012, there were 625 and in 2013, there were 601.
In 2012, there were 2,829 property crimes reported in Schenectady, the lowest number since at least 2004. The number for 2013 was even lower than that, 2,783.
Helping drive those numbers down in recent years has been data-driven policing, McCarthy said. The police track traffic accidents, burglaries and other crimes and send extra officers to hot spots. Police officials get requests from other departments to teach them to use those methods, he said.
Even the underlying crime report upon which the blog's rankings are based cautions against such rankings on its home page.
The FBI website notes that attempts to rank cities using the data provided "are merely a quick choice made by the data user."
Comparing jurisdiction to jurisdiction requires more variables, among them ones that are hard to measure or don't even apply to all cities, the website notes.
Rankings based on the FBI data "provide no insight into the many variables that mold the crime in a particular town, city, county, state, region, or other jurisdiction," the FBI site reads. "Consequently, these rankings lead to simplistic and/or incomplete analyses that often create misleading perceptions adversely affecting cities and counties, along with their residents."

Who Works For Minimum Wage?
from the Atlanta Fed
How many minimum wage workers are there?
In 2015, 3.3 percent of hourly workers age 16 or older earned the minimum wage of $7.25 or less (not including tips). The share of hourly workers paid at or below the federal minimum wage has fallen from highs in the early 1980s and since the last increase in July 2009.
The data in this article were updated on July 27, 2016, to reflect annual revisions to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics' Characteristics of Minimum Wage Workers.
Who works for minimum wage?
Minimum wage workers tend to be young, female, and have lower levels of education. More than half of these workers are in the leisure and hospitality industry, and most work part-time (people who usually work fewer than 35 hours a week).
Where do minimum wage workers live?
The map below depicts the concentration of hourly wage workers making at or below the federal minimum wage. We easily see that they are concentrated in the South.
Which states exceed the federal minimum wage?
As noted above, the share of hourly workers making minimum wage or less has declined since 2009, when the federal minimum wage rose to $7.25. During this time, more states adopted a state minimum wage higher than the federal minimum wage, which contributed to the decline in the share of workers making minimum wage or less. As you scroll through the years from 2010 on, you can see as more states adopt a higher minimum wage. (See the Department of Labor's history of states' minimum wages.)

Back to back Economic Data misses have sent the Australian Dollar reeling. Retail sales came in .2% versus .3 % expected but with the trade balance coming in a -2.22 billion versus -1.7 billion expected , we've seen the reduction of weak long AUD positions that were established this morning in anticipation of a neutral RBA forward guidance
On a positive note, the China June Caixin Services PMI came in at 52.7 vs. 51.2 prior, which is providing some counterbalance to the weak Australian domestic data and halting the Aussie dollar slide just above the .75 handle
Finally, and perhaps more significantly, local traders are looking over their shoulder at today's PBOC fix, the weakest setting since 2011 ,which sent the USD tentatively bid versus USDCNH There's certainly some speculation and fear that today's aggressively weaker Yuan fix is a PBoC policy driven move.

Geisha, a newish bar near Chinatown in Oakland (316 14th St) now is serving food and it is delicious!
Went to a soft opening last week, and had a number of winning dishes:
Mac and Cheese- made with 4 kinds of cheese, porcini mushrooms and truffle oil. Better than heroin.
Kobe beef burger- meaty, flavorful, satisfying, not so greasy that it hurts your belly.
Tempura Salmon Rolls- crisp, not greasy, sushi-rare, high quality salmon, wasabi dipping sauce.
Scallop and Shrimp dumpling- tender, thin dough, nicely crisped on one side, clean sea flavors.
Dishes are areasonable $6-12 each (approximate) and the cocktails we tried were excellent
(esp. the Dragonfly, made with Bombay, fresh grapefruit juice, lime and a little tonic) and well-priced
($7). Check it out!

Yes, CFP is for advisors. CPA is for accountants. But, does anyone have both? It'd would probably make someone pretty attractive if they had both types of certification given the time and knowledge required to achieve them... Or is it kind of like the graduate with 2 PhDs...
There are very few, and most I've run across are in the trust departments of banks, etc. as portfolio managers.
I've got both...they both have advantages in this industry...the CPA is more mainstream as far as being recognized, but the CFP is more relevant to what we do for clients. I was on track to get the CPA before I broke into this industry or I wouln't have bothered as the test was much tougher than the CFP test, although from what I've read recently, it sounds like the CPA exam is a bit easier than it was 15 years ago when I finally whipped it on the 5th attempt (I wasn't nearly as academically disciplined back in the day). It's an attractive combo, but for what almost all of us do, it's really overkill.
There are very few, and most I've run across are in the trust departments of banks, etc. as portfolio managers.
There is a firm called HD Vest in Dallas--a division of Wells Fargo.
They specialize in providing B/D services to accounting firms and have more than 5,000 representatives. Who knows how many of them are CPAs but a lot of them are.
There is another firm called First Global that does the same thing and has (I think) more than 10,000 registered.

Hello readers, Peter Tambroni here again from MostlyBass.com.
When practicing fast / scalar passages, play them in groups of odd numbers. Although notation generally beams notes in even groups, the actual music is usually in an odd group.
For example, if you have 4 sixteenth notes, practice them with the next note – they lead to that note. There's a group of 5. To help get the velocity on the sixteenths, practice the first 3. After you repeated that many times, play the last 2 with the destination note – another group of 3.
Another example can be found in the trio from Beethoven's 5th – third movement. When practicing the measures that are all eighth notes, practice them with the following downbeat – that's the landing point.
And in any running note passage, isolate groups of odd numbers to practice – even if they cross beams or barlines. This will even out your playing and give your lines direction.
Happy practicing and for more tips visit MostlyBass.com.

Things to Know About Culture of Indonesia
About Culture of Indonesia as Language, Religion, Traditional Lifestyle, Indonesians distinctive cuisine, Indonesian Music and Dance Etc.
Indonesian culture, like Indonesia itself, is really a fascinating blend of indigenous, Malay, Hindu, Buddhist, and Islamic elements. Indonesia is really a country of great diversity and it is national motto is "Unity in Diversity." This diversity can also be found in all aspects of culture: language, housing, cuisine, dance and music, artistic expression, etc. as each one has many local variants.
The state language of Indonesia is called Indonesian or 'Bahasa Indonesian'. Indonesian is a standardised dialect from the Malay language and was formulated during the time of the declaration of Indonesian independence in 1945. Malay and Indonesian remain much the same.
Although the official langauge, in reality it's most of the population's second language. Because of the sheer size and fractured, island make-up of the nation most people speak regional dialects for example Minangkabau or Javanese. These will usually be spoken both at home and in the local community but at the office or at school Indonesian is used.
Indonesia may be the country with the largest Muslim population on the planet. Approximately 80 percent of all Indonesians are devout Muslims. Generally, Indonesia is a deeply religious nation and also that applies to the minorities of Christians, Hindus and Buddhists.Pancasila, their state philosophy, says that having a monotheistic religion is required.
That explains why Indonesians do not understand and can't very well accept that people (foreigners) may admit they don't have a religion.Contrary to what may seem from international news coverage the various faiths in Indonesia largely co-exist alongside. Yet, discussions about different religions will never be held in public. There is an unwritten convention in Indonesia that certain accepts the religion of others. Along with the Muslim holidays, Christian, Buddhist and Hindu holiday season is recognized and celebrated.
Traditional Lifestyle
'Keeping face' is essential to Indonesians and they are generally extremely courteous – criticisms aren't spoken directly and they will usually accept what you say rather than offend. They'll also prefer to say something instead of appear as if they don't know the answer. They mean well however when you ask how to get somewhere, you might often find yourself being sent off within the wrong direction.
Indonesians distinctive cuisine continues to be derived from centuries with the influence from the Chinese, European, Middle Eastern and also the Indians. The staple food on most Indonesian dishes is rice served with meat and vegetables. Flavors of Vietnamese and Thai food may also be got from the cuisine of Indonesia. Spices, notably chili, and coconut milk are fundamental ingredients in many of the dishes, especially chicken and fish.
Home to hundreds of types of music, it plays a huge role in Indonesia's art and culture. Traces of their origin can be made to the islands of Java, Sumatra and Bali. 'Gamelan' may be the traditional music from Central- and East Java and Bali. Another extremely popular style of music is 'Dangdut' that is accompanied with free dance style. This style first emerged in the 1970s and is quite beneficial in political campaigns. Other forms of music range from the Keroncong with its roots in Portugal, the soft Sasando music from West Timor and Degung and Angklung from West Java, that is played with bamboo instruments.
The standard dances depict episodes from the Ramayana and Mahabharata from India. Traditional Javanese and Balinese tinge can also be seen in the dance types of Indonesian art and culture. The highly stylized dances from the courts of Yogyakarta and Surakarta are the popular variations. Mythological era of Indonesia are also depicted.
Cultural Sites of Indonesia are:
- Palembang featuring its the 18th century remnants from the Muslim rule
- Borobudur is one of the Seven Wonders around the globe. The site consists of the Hindu- Buddhist temple from the ninth century.
- Jakarta is also among the cultural sites of Indonesia because it consists of a number of museums and markets that are dedicated to indigenous art and crafts.
- Taman Sari that is a water castle used by the queens and kings for bathing and relaxation.

Dr. Davenport has over 20 years of experience in assessing, identifying, and addressing the needs of children and teens with dyslexia. He uses the expertise he has gained over the years to provide research-based assessment, identification, and recommendations for addressing the needs of children, teens, college students, and their families.
Dr. Davenport's evaluation for dyslexia includes a thorough assessment of the symptoms of dyslexia as described by the International Dyslexia Association (IDA), The Yale Center for Dyslexia and Creativity, Texas Scottish Rite Hospital for Children (TSRHC), and Texas Education Agency's most recent Dyslexia Handbook.
The Research-Based Definition of Dyslexia
The International Dyslexia Association defines dyslexia as follows.
"Dyslexia is characterized by difficulties with accurate and / or fluent word recognition and by poor spelling and decoding abilities. These difficulties typically result from a deficit in the phonological component of language that is often unexpected in relation to other cognitive abilities and the provision of effective classroom instruction. Secondary consequences may include problems in reading comprehension and reduced reading experience that can impede growth of vocabulary and background knowledge."
Dr. Davenport's Assessment Aligns with the Definition of Dyslexia
Dr. Davenport's assessment, recommendations, and written report focus on the skills and abilities highlighted in this research-based definition of dyslexia.
Accurate and / or Fluent Word Recognition
The Woodcock-Johnson, Fourth Edition (WJ-IV) Letter-Word Identification Subtest measures a student's ability to accurately read real words in isolation when compared to others his or her age. In addition to obtaining standard scores and percentiles on this test, Dr. Davenport has the knowledge and expertise to document the types of patters your student makes when reading (i.e., vowels, vowel digraphs, consonant digraphs, etc.) These observations can be helpful to treating professionals such as Academic Language Therapists and others.
The Gray Oral Reading Test, Fifth Edition (GORT-5) Accuracy Subtest measures your student's ability to accurately read real words in the context of oral reading passages at an age-appropriate level. In addition to a standard score, Dr. Davenport describes the type of contextual reading errors your student makes (i.e., mispronunciations, substitutions, omissions, additions, etc.) Identifying the types of errors made is especially important when considering the differences in dyslexia and ADHD.
The GORT-5 Rate and Fluency Subtests compare your student's ability to read real words fluently in the context of written passages to same-age peers. In addition to a standard score, Dr. Davenport describes your child's fluency using three main categories: (1) slow, word by word reading, (2) hesitant and choppy reading, or (3) good fluency that sounds as if the student is reading.
The WJ-IV Spelling Subtest compares a student's ability to spell accurately to others his or her age.
The WJ-IV Spelling of Sounds Subtest assesses a student's ability to spell words not seen or heard before accurately using phonological, phonics, and spelling rules.
In addition to a standard score, Dr. Davenport describes your student's spelling pattern errors (i.e., vowels, vowel digraphs, consonant digraphs, etc.)
Decoding Abilities
The WJ-IV Word Attack Subtest measures a student's ability to sound-out words never seen before (non-words) as compared to others his or her age. In addition to obtaining scores, Dr. Davenport describes your student's decoding pattern errors for use of educators and other professionals.
The Phonological Component of Language
Over the years, The Comprehensive Tests of Phonological Processing, Second Edition (CTOPP-2) has become the "gold-standard" for measuring multiple aspects of phonological and phonemic components of language. While at TSRHC, Monte received training in interpreting the CTOPP from its primary author. Dr. Davenport administers specific subtests from this battery based on a student's unique challenges and needs.
In addition to obtaining scores that compare your student's abilities to others his or her age, Dr. Davenport describes observations of performance on these tasks. For example, on the rapid naming subtests, he describes his observations of the child's skills as they relate to reading fluency: (1) slow, item by item, (2) hesitant and choppy, or (3) accurate and fluent suggesting good underlying abilities needed for reading fluency.
Cognitive Abilities
Subtests that comprise the Comprehension-Knowledge and Fluid Reasoning clusters of the Woodcock Johnson, Fourth Edition (WJ-IV) Tests of Cognitive Abilities compare your student's thinking and problem solving abilities to others his or her age. Subtests of the Working Memory and Processing Speed clusters are typically administered because weaknesses in these areas can be related to dyslexia. In addition, Dr. Davenport documents his observations and descriptions of any developmentally inappropriate variations in the student's skills.
He utilizes these tests to first rule-out or identify the existence of possible primary cognitive disorders. Then, he uses a developmental approach to compare your student's intellectual abilities to phonological, reading, and spelling skills.
Effective Classroom Instruction
In order to consider the instruction provided the student, Dr. Davenport gathers information from teachers and parents through questionnaires and a structured clinical interview designed to obtain this information, descriptors of your child's current phonological, reading, and spelling skills, as well as, symptoms of other possible cognitive, attention, executive functioning, language, learning or mental health challenges.
Reading Comprehension
The GORT -5 Reading Comprehension Subtest measures a student's ability to comprehend what he or she read aloud in passages.
The WJ -IV Passage Comprehension Subtest measures a student's ability to comprehend information in silently read passages in real-time.
In addition to obtaining standard scores comparing your student's abilities to same-age peers on these tests, Dr. Davenport documents the types of comprehension errors made (i.e., cause/effect, compare/contrast, inference, etc.). These descriptors can be especially helpful for educators and others treating the child's needs.
Vocabulary and Background Knowledge
The WJ-IV Knowledge and Comprehension Subtests measure your student's vocabulary and academic knowledge as compared to same-age peers. Dr. Davenport's observations of these tests detail the impact of dyslexia on these important abilities.
Interested in an Assessment, Recommendations, and Written Report?
Dr. Davenport's evaluation process includes educating you and your student about dyslexia symptoms and treatment, as well as, preparing a written report detailing assessment results and research-proven recommendations for treatment.

I've heard this song 3 times in the last 2 days in random stores. This can only mean that it's a perfect summer song, and I welcome hearing it everywhere I go. I had no idea it was a Sonny & Cher song until now! Look how hot she was! I apologize if this video makes you feel like you're on acid in the middle. It was the '60s, what can I say?
This fits perfectly with my obsessive listening to She & Him.
I think this calls for a new muxtape mix!

Tax Board Liquidates Shop's Alcohol Stock ({{commentsTotal}})
The Tax and Customs Board has seized and destroyed 18 pallets of alcohol, each carrying from one to two tons of alcoholic drinks, from a Tallinn shop after discovering extensive excise fraud.
The shop on Aia street in the center of the capital had failed to declare 22,000 euros in excise tax, forging import documents, ETV reported on Tuesday.
Authorities confiscated the falsely declared or undeclared alcohol, and three people connected with the store have received suspended sentences. The mastermind was also handed a 10,000-euro fine.
The packaging was recycled.

The city has employed "parking ambassadors," many of them city employees, to volunteer their time to help people learn how to use the new downtown parking meters.
Depending on the payment method, it's either a two-step or a four-step process.
However, because they've only been in use for a little more than a week, there is some confusion about them.
For example, at least one man has tried to insert a dollar bill into the credit-card slot. (The machines only take coins and debit/credit cards, because dollar bills cause too many jams.)
Meter enforcement is from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Saturday.
Frequently asked questions:
Q: Does the meter provide receipts for my car?
A: No. Receipts aren't needed.
Q: Do I have to pay from the closest meter to my car?
A: No. Drivers can pay from any downtown meter.
Q: I'm just running in a store for a couple of minutes, why do I have to pay for an hour?
A: You don't. Payment can be made for various amounts of time using nickels, dimes and quarters.
Payment method: Coins or debit/credit cards
â–º Paying by coin: Using keypad enter the space number, which is painted on the curb. Insert coins for desired length of time.
â–º Paying by card: Enter space number. Use arrows to select desired length of time. Press "OK" to confirm payment amount. Insert and remove card.
What do you get for your money? Charge is $1 per hour on most streets; 50 cents per hour on Gulfstream Avenue. Payment can be made using nickels, dimes and quarters. For instance, a nickel equals three minutes on most streets and six minutes on Gulfstream Avenue.
Affected area: Orange Avenue to Gulfstream Avenue and Second Street to McAnsh Square
Number of metered spaces: 497

Cosmetic Medicine & Medical Spa Markets
Anything Market – March 25, 2014
Feed-back.com's 'Anything Market' looks at the cosmetic medicine and medical spa markets: Companies, numbers, and trends. Contact Us to suggest topics.
Cosmetic medicine describes aesthetic products and services in an obvious way. Defining the term "medical spa" is the trickiest part of evaluating what's going on in the U.S. skin care market. According to industry sources, "medical spa" typically refers to a business that offers aesthetic enhancement services such as chemical, injectable, and light-based treatments. Facilities usually emphasize a spa-like setting. Regulations vary significantly from state to state, and consumers are warned by professional organizations to carefully evaluate various factors such as who is performing the procedure, whether there is oversight by a medical director, etc.
Alternative cosmetic medicine service providers are cosmetic surgeons and dermatologists. Spas also compete to a certain degree with less invasive treatments such as chemical peels, facials, laser hair removal, etc.
Facilities & Revenues
According to Marketdata Enterprises' 2012 report, there were 2,100 medical spas operating in the United States. Total revenues were projected to reach nearly $2.0 billion for the year.
To put those figures into perspective, the International Spa Association estimated that 19,960 U.S. spas generated $14.0 billion in 2012. According to cosmetic procedure data from the American Society for Aesthetic and Plastic Surgery (ASAPS), nonsurgical procedures generated an estimated $4.2 billion in 2012.
Recent Trends
News articles published from 2008 through early 2009 continued to cite a U.S. medical spa market valuation of approximately $1.0 billion. At the time, the core client base for aesthetic services (BOTOX®, cellulite, fillers, laser, resurfacing, etc.) was the baby boom generation. A 2008 survey conducted by the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD; Schaumburg IL) indicated growing demand for BOTOX® procedures among individuals between 20 and 35 years of age (approximately 20.0%).[1]
According to the latest ASAPS data (2012), nearly 44.0% of nonsurgical procedures were performed on Americans between the ages of 30 and 55, followed by the 51 – 64 cohort (approximately 30.0%).[2]
Nonsurgical Procedures
Detailed fee and procedure data are tracked annually by the ASAPS, although the venues (e.g., cosmetic, dermatology, otolaryngology, or medical spa facilities) are not included. The full 2012 report includes the estimated numbers of individual procedures performed in 2012. To illustrate demand, the following chart summarizes demand for three categories: Injectables, Skin Rejuvenation, and "Other."
Through a new on-demand service, Feed-back.com is working with Marketdata Enterprises Inc. to evaluate local and regional medical spa markets for custom research clients. Details are described in the February 2014 Press Release.

Welcome to another instalment of CBC Searchlight ladies with whom I'd like to be friends! I have another three wonderful women making amazing music to share with you today. As I mentioned in part 1, during the regional rounds of CBC's Searchlight Competition, you can vote in multiple cities every day. These three ladies definitely have my vote.
1. Nuela Charles (top left, photo credit: Steven Hope)
Nuela Charles' Searchlight entry, Unfortunate Love featuring Darren Frank, is super slick and drew me in immediately with it's Amy Winehouse style horn lines and piano riffing. When she started singing, I was hooked. I love this song because it manages to sound like both a throwback to vintage soul and a modern pop song. Nuela is located in Edmonton and you can vote for her in the Radio Active lineup here.
2. Julia McDougall (top right, photo credit: Chris Graham)
Julia McDougall's latest EP, I Don't Really Care, jam-packs a ton expert arrangements and beautifully crafted songs into four short tracks. Her songs are whimsical and wistful and I seriously wish there were more than four of them on the album. Julia is located in Regina and you can vote for her in the Afternoon Edition lineup here.
3. Molly Thomason (bottom, photo credit: Catherine Fancy)
Molly Thomason's entry, Silence Don't Scare Me, is a remarkably self-assured piece of music. Between her creative lyrical sense and the incredibly catchy hook, this is a song worth repeated listening. Molly is from Antagonish and you can vote for her in the Mainstreet Nova Scotia lineup here.
That's it for this instalment! Thanks for taking the time to vote for some wonderful women. If you want to vote for me, you can do so by visiting http://r3.ca/0Xxs and clicking the VOTE button next to my entry. Thank you!

LOURDES, France, APRIL 7, 2006 (ZENIT.org).- The bishops of France expressed their willingness to receive Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre's followers, once they are reconciled with the Holy See.
In a note issued today, at the end of their four-day plenary assembly, members of the French episcopal conference said: "We know that Benedict XVI is concerned about" relations with the Society of St. Pius X, founded by Archbishop Lefebvre.
"In the forthcoming weeks or months, he should give directives to facilitate the way towards a possible return to full communion," they said.
"We will received them in faith and apply them with fidelity. Evangelically, everything possible must be done so that the Lord's word — 'That they be one' — is fulfilled," the bishops continued.
According to the bishops, "this communion must be sought in charity and truth. Charity means to try to know and understand one another, and to make false images disappear that we might have of one another."
"It means, at the same time, abandoning all systematic controversies and all desire for confrontation," they added.
Truth "implies being clear on our points of dissension. In fact, the latter affect acceptance of the magisterium more than questions of liturgy, in particular, that of the Second Vatican Council and of Popes of the last decades," they emphasized.
"Communion may be accompanied by questions, requests for precision or further reflection," they indicated. "It cannot tolerate a systematic rejection of the council, criticism of its teaching, or denigration of the liturgical reform decreed by the council."

Huge boost for Donegal as two stalwarts commit to 2017 campaign
Donegal manager Rory Gallagher has received a massive boost ahead of the 2017 season with the confirmation that veteran defenders Frank McGlynn and Karl Lacey will play next year.
The experienced duo have been subject to retirement speculation since Donegal exited the championship at the quarter-final stage to eventual All-Ireland winners Dublin.
"They're two top-quality players," Gallagher told Donegal Sport Hub.
"They're two guys who now have kids and have given their all for Donegal so they don't owe us anything.
"They want to contribute their best for Donegal and they want to play for Donegal, which says a lot about them, that they are willing to put their bodies and reputations on the line."
Christy Toye, Neil Gallagher and Rory Kavanagh have yet to make their intentions known.
Ingoing hip problems mean David Walsh won't figure next year.
2012 All-Ireland winners Eamonn McGee and Colm McFadden have announced their inter-county retirement since the Dublin defeat.

In this long but compelling essay in the LA Review of Books, Nigerian-American writer and winner of the 2013 Caine Prize Tọ́pẹ́ Fọlárìn discusses the challenge faced by new African writers trying to gain international recognition and being judged against a standard of "accessibility" set by selected role models.
The long essay slash book review is written in a smooth and accessible – he won't like that word – style that sustains interest from beginning to end, making a valid argument against a single-story stereotyping of African stories that inevitably happens because of a conditioning of taste by the gatekeepers of the profession.
Here's an excerpt:
It can be said that black artists who live in the United States or produce art that is consumed in the United States are "expected" to create certain kinds of art, but the reason these expectations exist is because some black artist has produced a pioneering work that, for any number of reasons, garners significant attention and is thus perceived by a predominantly white Western audience as the height of black achievement, the precise standard that every other black artist in the same field must strive to achieve in order for their work to be accessible to an audience that otherwise knows next to nothing about the community the black artist has emerged from.
I don't know whether his conclusion in the essay point more to the laziness of popular culture that chooses instead to anoint one messenger in every generation and move on rather than spending time sampling every offering for a varied taste, or whether there indeed a nefarious effort against the thriving of a diverse minority voice from around the continent. What he insists on however – as the crux of the essay – is that thriving as a prominent voice in African literature often requires a combination of luck, accessibility in the right kind of way, and talent, not necessarily in that order.

Gosh, I've been watching tons of FtM videos. I really want to understand. But I'm always unsatisfied, because everyone stays on surface level. I like to get to the root of the issue and tackle the hard questions.
FtMs who make YouTube videos always say they knew they were trans because of vague feelings of "not liking my body" and "feeling like a guy." But how is this different from every other woman not liking her body and how can someone who is female feel "like a guy," exactly?
So here is a list of questions, complete with follow-up questions, that come to mind when I watch FtM videos. I don't really expect to ever get these answered, but here goes:
- Please explain in your own words what a "man" is and what a "woman" is.
- What is wrong with having breasts, ovaries, a vagina, a clitoris, and a period?
- Many women find it uncomfortable having a period and having the equipment that can carry a pregnancy, because this comes with lots of difficulties (being responsible for preventing pregnancy, being targeted for sexual abuse, cramping and bleeding, etc) What is the difference between you being uncomfortable with having female parts and the discomfort that most other women experience? Is it a matter of degree or is it a qualitatively different feeling?
- Have you ever talked with other women about their discomfort and have you found similarities and differences?
- If the answer to question (2) is "because I'm a man and these are the wrong parts for a man" then I have two follow-up questions for that:
- What is a man? and also
- If you are a man, then aren't your breasts, ovaries, vagina and clitoris a man's breasts, ovaries, vagina and clitoris? Why do you need to change them if you are already a man? Gender does not equal genitals, so how can any genitals be the wrong ones for your gender?
- If you could choose how other people treat you, while staying in the body you were born in, would you still need to transition? Let's say everyone was willing to treat you "as a guy" even without taking testosterone. Would you still need to take it then?
- What does it mean to be treated like a guy? And for that matter, what does it mean to be treated like a woman?
- What does it mean to "feel like a boy/man"? Do you think it's really possible for a female human to know what it feels like to have a male body? Or is it more like you believe your mind or personality are male? If this is the case, then please move on to question (6).
- What exactly is a "male mind" or a "male brain" or a "male personality"? Please describe.
- What exactly is uncomfortable about hearing female pronouns? What do those pronouns represent for you?
- If you are attracted to women:
- What is wrong with being a lesbian, anyway?
- If the answer to (8)A is "Nothing is wrong with being a lesbian, I'm just not one, because I'm a man," then please refer back to question (1), what is a man?
- What if there was no such thing as hormones or surgeries and you had to just live your life as a lesbian, how would your life be different?
- To ask that same question in a different way, in case I get a more thorough response by asking it this way, are there any measurable or observable differences between your life and a lesbian life? Let's say you are FtM and you live with your girlfriend in an apartment with your cat, and you like weight-lifting in your spare time and you enjoy having strap-on sex. What is the difference between what you're doing and what every other lesbian couple is doing? Is the difference just "I identify as a man," or is there anything else?
- In regards to your life outside of home, how would your work life and family life and hobbies be different if you were a lesbian instead of an FtM?
- If you felt uncomfortable identifying as a lesbian or being seen as a lesbian, why? Have you ever tried to work on internalized homophobia? Why or why not?
- Have you ever spoken to other lesbians to find out whether they felt the same way you do about some of these issues? Why or why not? If so, what have you found out?
- What is wrong with being a lesbian, anyway?
Let me tell you, I would love to know the answers to these questions!
