Share a little of your good fortune on November 16
November 14, 2012
We live PC, but why give PC? I remind myself often what a charmed life I live. I had the good fortune to happen upon Park City nearly two decades ago and discovered this amazing place tucked into the Wasatch Back.
Park City is a community of choice, meaning most of us live here because this is where we want to be. It's not a cheap or easy place to live, but we wouldn't live anywhere else. We are blessed with a beautiful natural setting and diverse group of residents that make Park City special. Local government and our resorts play a big role too, creating a healthy backbone for business and community. But not to be forgotten are the 85 nonprofits that do what business and government can't or won't. They are what make Park City great!
"We make a living by what we get. We make a life by what we give." — Winston Churchill.
In that short sentence, the salty prime minister spoke to the power of giving vs. getting. Regardless of your religion or beliefs, giving is an act of faith: faith in causes, faith in people, and faith in an ever-better future. When we give, it's an expression of hope and of our desire to improve something. On some level, each of us wants to make the world a better place. We may not have the skill, time, or knowledge to save the planet, eradicate disease, or champion better education, but there are organizations that do. Giving to them makes you a sort of venture capitalist — someone investing in other people's efforts to make the world a better place.
Why do we give? We give because it's fun, it's collaborative, it's needed, and it makes us part of something bigger. Find a cause — or two, or many — that match your passions and invest in their efforts. For me it's the environment, trails and open space. For others it may be education, curing disease, helping those less fortunate, the arts, or something else. What matters is that you find a cause that you believe in, one that grabs your heart and devotion, and put your "VC" to good use. Stretch a little on November 16th, give more than usual, and experience the thrill.
There are two currencies in our world: money and time. I hope that you will give a little of both this year. Live PC, Give PC is a day to remind us of the worthy organizations that make our community better. Lend them a hand on November 16th and invest in those who make Park City great. If you are fortunate enough to live in Park City, you are lucky indeed. Share a little of your good fortune and help those organizations that dedicate themselves to making us and Park City better.

New York / Nairobi, 21 December 2012 - Another step forward to the 'Future We Want' was put in place today with a decision by the General Assembly of the United Nations to 'strengthen and upgrade' the UN Environment Programme (UNEP) and establish universal membership of its governing body.
The landmark resolution, aimed at increasing the role of UNEP as the leading environmental authority that sets the global environmental agenda, was adopted 40 years after UNEP was established by the General Assembly, following the 1972 Stockholm Conference on the Human Environment.
The General Assembly resolution also provides for UNEP to receive secure, stable and increased financial resources from the regular budget of the UN, and calls for other UNEP donors to increase their voluntary funding.
The decision allows full participation of all 193 UN member states at the UNEP Governing Council in February 2013, and follows commitments by world leaders at the UN Conference on Sustainable Development (Rio+20) last June to improve the institutional framework for sustainable development.
The provisions contained in the resolution are among the first practical steps by the UN General Assembly to implement the outcomes of Rio+20.
"The decision by the General Assembly to strengthen and upgrade UNEP is a watershed moment. Universal membership of UNEP's Governing Council establishes a new, fully-representative platform to strengthen the environmental dimension of sustainable development, and provides all governments with an equal voice on the decisions and action needed to support the global environment, and ensure a fairer share of the world's resources for all," said United Nations Under-Secretary-General and UNEP Executive Director Achim Steiner.
"The resolution reaffirms UNEP's role as the UN's authority on the environment, and provides the mandate to enhance our ongoing work on bringing the latest science to policy-makers, directly supporting national and regional environmental efforts, improving access to technology, and other key areas. For UNEP and the environmental community, this is a truly historic day," added Mr. Steiner.
Improved governance for the global environment
In the forty years since UNEP was established, the environmental challenges facing communities around the world - from diminishing water resources and desertification, to climate change and hazardous chemicals - have increased in number and complexity.
Yet international responses to such challenges are often fragmented and weak.
The latest edition of UNEP's Global Environment Outlook report, released in June 2012, assessed 90 of the most important environmental goals agreed by the international community, and found that significant progress had only been made in four.
The report warns that if current trends continue, several critical thresholds may be exceeded, beyond which irreversible changes to the life-support functions of the planet could occur.
The General Assembly decision reflects the commitment of member states to improve global cooperation on the environment in order to meet such challenges, and to promote the integration of the social, economic, and environmental pillars of sustainable development, as well as improving coordination within the UN system.
Prior to the new resolution, UNEP's Governing Council consisted of 58 members only. Previous efforts to ensure wider representation in the running of UNEP resulted in the creation of the Global Ministerial Environment Forum (GMEF), which brought together the world's environment ministers for high-level meetings in parallel with the Governing Council.
Member states will have the role of implementing the provisions of the General Assembly resolution - including arrangements for the future of the GMEF - at the first meeting of the newly-enlarged Governing Council at UNEP headquarters in Nairobi on 18-22 February 2013. The meeting will be held under the theme 'Rio+20: From Outcome to Implementation'.
The General Assembly also stressed the important role of UNEP in providing the international community with comprehensive, science-based, policy-relevant global environmental assessments, such as the Global Environment Outlook (GEO) series, and others.
By endorsing the Rio+20 outcome document 'The Future We Want' in July 2012, and adopting the new resolution on UNEP, the General Assembly underlined the need for UNEP to work more closely with non-governmental organizations, youth, women, indigenous peoples, local governments, business, and other interest groups, and to formalize their participation at the UNEP Governing Council and in global environmental decision-making overall.
UNEP is also tasked with further strengthening the vital link between policy-makers and the scientific community.
In a separate resolution relating to another Rio+20 outcome, the General Assembly welcomed the adoption of the ten-year framework of programmes on sustainable consumption and production patterns (10YFP), to which UNEP provides the secretariat.
The 10YFP is a global framework of action to enhance international cooperation on accelerating the shift towards sustainable consumption and production in developed and developing countries. The framework will support capacity building, and provide technical and financial assistance to developing countries.
The General Assembly also tasked UNEP with establishing a trust fund for sustainable consumption and production programmes in order to mobilize voluntary contributions from donors, the private sector and other sources, including foundations.
40 Years of UNEP
The General Assembly resolution marks the first major structural change to UNEP in its four-decade history.
The first UN agency to be headquartered in a developing country, UNEP is the voice of the environment in the UN system. Its mandate is to coordinate the development of environmental policy consensus by keeping the global environment under review, and bringing emerging issues to the attention of governments and the international community for action.
UNEP also administers many multilateral environmental agreements and conventions, including the Ozone Secretariat and the Montreal Protocol's Multilateral Fund, the Convention on Biological Diversity, the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES), and a growing family of chemicals-related agreements, among others.
Major UNEP landmarks and achievements over the past forty years include:
- 1979: Bonn Convention on Migratory Species (CMS) established. The agreement involves 116 member states and has overseen binding agreements and action plans to protect 120 migratory species.
- 1987: Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer established. One of the most successful multilateral agreements in UN history, the protocol has overseen a 98 per cent reduction of controlled ozone depleting substances, and delivered multiple health benefits, including millions of avoided cases of cancer and eye cataracts.
- 1988 Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) established by UNEP and the World Meteorological Organization. The panel delivers the world's most influential, comprehensive and scientifically-reviewed reports on climate change.
- 1995: Basel Ban Amendment barring export of hazardous wastes adopted. Ratified by 70 countries and the EU, the agreement established a regime for minimization of health and environmental impacts of waste.
- 2002: Launch of Partnership for Clean Fuels and Vehicles. Among other activities, the project has assisted countries in Sub-Saharan Africa to successfully phase out or begin the phase-out of leaded fuel. Associated health savings for the continent are estimated at US$92 billion per year.
- 2012: Launch of Climate and Clean Air Coalition to Reduce Short-Lived Climate Pollutants: Voluntary initiative to reduce emissions of black carbon, methane, low-level ozone, hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), and other short-lived climate pollutants (SCLPs), to tackle climate change and improve human health. In less than 12 months, some 25 governments and additional partners have joined the coalition.

The six-furlong Winning Colors will be co-featured on Saturday evening with the 24th running of the $100,000-added Aristides (GIII) and the 36th running of the $100,000-added Early Times Mint Julep Handicap (GIII).
Calhoun and owners Martin Racing Stable LLC and Dan Morgan won back-to-back runnings of the Winning Colors in 2009-10 with Dubai Majesty, who was named champion female sprinter in 2010.
Carl R. Moore Management LLC's Speedacious already has recorded one win under the lights at Churchill Downs this spring as the 5-year-old bay daughter of Yankee Gentleman took an allowance race beneath the Twin Spires on Opening Night Presented by Stella Artois and Finlandia Vodka on April 28. The Louisiana-bred Speedacious enters the Winning Colors with a five-race winning streak and will break from post eight under Brian Hernandez Jr.
Wayne Sanders and Larry Hirsch's Gleaming finished third in her most recent start to stablemate Beat the Blues in the Carousel. Prior to the Carousel, the 5-year-old chestnut daughter of Dehere recorded wins in the American Beauty and Spring Fever at Oaklawn Park. She will break from post two under Calvin Borel.
A top challenger to the Calhoun trio could be Bert, Elaine and Richard Klein's Good Deed, runner-up in the Eight Belles Presented by Xerox (GIII) on Kentucky Oaks Day to Contested, the runaway winner of Belmont Park's Acorn (GI) on Memorial Day. Good Deed is one of two 3-year-olds entered in the Winning Colors and will attempt to become the first of her age group to win the race.
The bay daughter of Broken Vow will break from the rail post under Shaun Bridgmohan, the leading rider of the Spring Meet. Page Springs is the other 3-year-old filly who will face her elders in the Winning Colors.
The field for the Winning Colors, from the rail out, is as follows: Good Deed (ridden by Bridgmohan, 116 pounds), Gleaming (Borel, 120), Beat the Blues (Mena, 120), Honey Chile (Corey Lanerie, 120), Page Springs (Manny Cruz, 116), Island Bound (Leandro Goncalves, 120), Fortune Play (Ramon Vazquez, 120) and Speedacious (Hernandez Jr., 122).
The race is named in honor of Eugene Klein's Winning Colors, who in 1988 became the most recent of only three fillies to win the Kentucky Derby Presented by Yum! Brands (GI). She was the first of four Kentucky Derby winner saddled by Hall of Fame trainer D. Wayne Lukas. Winning Colors was narrowly beaten that fall in the Breeders' Cup Distaff (now the Ladies' Classic) by unbeaten Personal Ensign. She was the champion 3-year-old filly of 1988 and in 2000 was enshrined in the National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame.


text: The fall 2013 collection Donna Karan showed today during Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week is very... brown. And black. And grey. It's kinda boring and blah, with a decidedly 90s vampire twist. Of course, there's a few things nobody would turn down, but the rest is a bit (blood)sucking. But maybe that's because I'm dead on the inside? What do you think?

Making Tax Digital for VAT (MTDfV) fundamentally changes the way in which businesses keep VAT records and submit VAT returns. At Facts & Figures, we can provide guidance on the key aspects of MTDfV and the implications for your business in the Edinburgh area.
Over the coming years, the government will phase in its landmark Making Tax Digital (MTD) initiative, which will see taxpayers move to a fully digital tax system.
This factsheet outlines some of the key issues for businesses.
Making Tax Digital for Business (MTDfB) was introduced by then Chancellor, George Osborne, in the 2015 Spring Budget. The government's 'Making Tax Easier' document was published shortly after, and outlined plans for the 'end of the tax return'. It also set out the government's vision to modernise the UK's tax system, with digital tax accounts set to replace tax returns for ten million individuals and five million small businesses.
However, industry experts and those within the accountancy sector expressed concerns over the proposed pace and the scale of the introduction of MTDfB, and, as a result, the government amended the timetable for the initiative's implementation, to allow businesses and individuals 'plenty of time to adapt to the changes'.
MTDfB, starting with VAT will now be implemented from 1 April 2019, as summarised below.
From 1 April 2019, businesses will be mandated to use the MTDfB system to meet their VAT obligations - termed Making Tax Digital for VAT (MTDfV). Only businesses with a turnover above the VAT threshold (currently £85,000) will be required to use MTDfV, however HMRC are piloting the new system from April 2018.
Those businesses that fall within the scope of MTDfV will be required to submit their VAT returns using software compatible with the MTDfV regulations. Information will be extracted from the digital records in order to populate the VAT return.
There will be no changes to the statutory VAT return or payment dates. In addition, businesses who choose to submit VAT returns monthly or in a non-standard fashion will be able to continue to do so.
Under MTDfV, businesses must make use of functional compatible software to meet the new requirements. VAT returns will be calculated and submitted to HMRC via an Application Programme Interface (API). Clients will be able to submit their returns using software, bridging software or API-enabled sheets.
The functions of MTD-compatible software must include:
HMRC will allow adjustments for partial exemptions to be calculated separately, outside of the digital records, and for these to be transferred in either digitally or manually. Ultimately, however, the final transfer of information to HMRC will have to be done digitally, in all cases.
In April 2019, when MTD for VAT comes into effect, HMRC anticipates that there will be a one-year 'soft landing' period, when penalties for record keeping will not apply.
Records kept digitally must include such information as:
Digital records must be maintained for the VAT account (and the audit trail between primary accounting records and the VAT return). The records should include details of both the VAT payable portion and the VAT allowable portion.
Businesses will be required to keep digital records in functional compatible software for up to six years.
Under MTDfV, only a small handful of businesses will be exempt. Please contact us for more details if they believe they are exempt. Businesses will be able to make a right of appeal against a HMRC refusal of exemption.
If you are in the Edinburgh area, please do contact us for information on MTDfV.

Choose your own destiny with this spellbinding adventure. Fable lets players make the moral decisions that mould their character and affect their social standing. Whether you are good or evil is up to you, but you will shoulder the consequences of your actions. With only a handful of story-driven quests, Fable could be criticised for its brevity, but there is an incredible array of activities to enjoy between missions, including fishing, trading and gambling. Even just interacting with villagers is enjoyable, particularly when they bow down in fear, applaud your courage, or swoon at your handsome looks. Townsfolk remember your actions and can be courted for marriage. Combat is basic yet fun, demanding timing. There is a wide variety of melee and projectile weapons, plus powerful magic spells. It is a rich, majestic world to explore.

"Men grow tired of sleep sooner than of war," observed Homer. Players will certainly lose plenty of sleep to this addictive and astonishingly epic game. Up to 10,000 detailed 3-D warriors fight in spectacular, highly tactical battles. Players must adopt realistic strategies and use the strengths of different units - and of charismatic leaders. The campaign gives budding generals opportunities to dabble in politics, diplomacy, subversion, building and trade while expanding the empire and smiting rivals. The game can be customised to individual interests, such as warmonger or governor. Players control one of three Roman families and can later unlock foreign factions. You need to expand your interests, forge alliances, conquer enemies, win the favour of the Senate and eventually march on Rome. Historical battles, fast-paced skirmishes and multiplayer clashes are equally thrilling.

OutRun seduced anyone who ventured into a 1980s games arcade with its carefree spirit, dazzling looks and Ferrari-branded style. While the sequel has taken 17 years to arrive, powersliding in an open-top Ferrari could never go out of fashion. This near-perfect conversion of the joyous arcade game adds 101 clever mission-based challenges plus multiplayer contests, including online action. Much of the game's undeniable thrill stems from the giddy car handling, which enables players to slide gracefully around corners at ridiculous speed. The arcade mode sees players roar along 15 varied and picturesque courses, choosing easy or more difficult paths. Missions are more demanding, with imaginative and taxing challenges such as taking photos, performing arithmetic, memory tests and overtaking runs. The game feels short compared to Burnout 3, but it's a hugely entertaining ride.

John and I began sponsoring a child in 1998. We were pregnant with our first child and felt so blessed. We heard about CFCA through our parish. During Mass while a CFCA representative was talking about the sponsorship opportunities, my husband left our pew. I thought he was going to the restroom.
|Angelica is our sponsored child from Guatemala. She was 4 when we began sponsoring her.
When he came back to our pew, he had our little Angelica Antonia's profile. He just knew that I wanted to sponsor a child and he did as well.
He said, "Angelica called out to me."
Her mother and father took turns sending us letters about Angelica, their life and how thankful they were for our support until Angelica was old enough to write. So, through letters and photos we've received, we've seen Angelica grow up through her parents' and now her words.
Angelica is in seventh grade. She draws us beautiful flower borders with every note. She's quite an artist! Angelica is growing up a confident, educated young woman. She walks an hour to/from school every day – amazing! She is so grateful for the opportunity to go to school (which is a great reminder for our kids) and in every letter reminds us how very thankful she is that our support covers her basic needs.
By sponsoring Angelica, we get so much more out of the relationship than we ever dreamed was possible! She is a constant reminder of how blessed we are, that the basic things we take for granted (shelter, food, clothing) are truly gifts from God. Angelica doesn't know this, but her words and prayers are far more valuable to our family than the monthly donations.
CFCA's sponsorship program helps our family see that poverty is a worldwide problem that affects each of us in some way and even more so, how each individual can help end it.

Isn't that a song or jingle about being on the road again? After a wonderful and productive trip to Salt Lake City, I was home a few days and received word that my sister had passed away. It was not unexpected, but still the finality of it hurts. I just returned home today from her funeral. The luggage came in, some was put away and some left out to repack in a few days.
Another exciting trip is on the agenda. This time it is to Loveland, CO to the Family History Expo. The Expo begins Friday, June 25th at the Embassy Suites Loveland Hotel & Conference Center. The two day conference will feature 89 presentations by excellent speakers and 28 vendors displaying their products. There are classes for beginners, experienced and advanced researchers, along with time to Ask-The-Pros.
There are eight honor bloggers for this Expo and I will be representing the You Go Genealogy Girls. YGGG#2 (Cheri) cannot attend the conference, but will be going to the Midwest Family History Expo in Kansas City, MO, Friday July 30th and Saturday July 31st.
For more information on the 2nd Annual Colorado Family History Expo 2010, check out their web page. There you will find a complete listing of speakers, topics plus information on the cost of the conference. You can register online from their web page.
Other Expos for 2010 besides Loveland and Kansas City, include Pleasanton, CA October 8-9; Salt Lake City Family History Library Research Retreat Oct 25-30 and Atlanta, GA November 12-13.
I am on a countdown for the Expo in Loveland. So much to do and so little time. Ancestors need my attention also. And I need some sleep!

Potted: A Garden Shop
- Location: Los Angeles, California
- Specialty: Flowers, plants and gardening supplies
- Price range: $$$
- Website: pottedstore.com
Store History
- Founded: 2004
- Founded by: Mary Gray & Annette Goliti Gutierrez
- Headquarters: Los Angeles, CA
Friends for over 20 years, Mary Gray and Annette Goliti Gutierrez both wanted to start a business together. With a deep love of design and a history in the film industry, they took a great leap of faith in opening a garden store. With absolutely no retail experience whatsoever but a great deal of enthusiasm and ideas they decided to open Potted.
"We wanted to create a place where people could shop for their outdoor spaces with the same inspiration and style that was available for their interior spaces. We are all about 'Outdoor Living,' providing you the elements to make your backyard a place to actually live in...beautifully."
Potted has been open for 8 years now and has participated in the Dwell on Design Outdoor Section for the past several years. This was the first year they had their own booth, which felt like a milestone for their independent business. "In addition we were also asked to do all the plantings and containers for LivingHomes C6 prefab home for the Palm Springs Modernism Show, the Ted Talks Conference in Long Beach and now again for the current Dwell on Design."
Carrying everything from planters, lighting, garden supplies, to patio accessories, Potted has something for every garden. "As an aside...our biggest seller is our concrete fire pit, which for some reason is not easy to find and we can ship it anywhere. Our other biggest seller is our Circle Pot, which we designed. It's so fun to see it pop up throughout the city but I can't wait to be in NY and see one in a window there (it could happen.) Or Cleveland! Our newest design is the Orbit, a very cool hanging planter and the City Planter which we are very excited about."
Working with clients to create exceptional "patioscaping" Potted aims to help customers with the little details that freshen up their gardens, yards and decks. The goal is to create and maintain gorgeous beautiful living spaces. "We create container gardens that are drought tolerant with a high-design aesthetic to go with well designed furniture that fits the lifestyle of our clients."
You can also enjoy the custom pottery bar in the back, where you can create gorgeous floral arrangements. From everything from orchids to terrariums, Potted will surely have something lovely for your home.

The Philippines on Tuesday said the deployment of US spy planes, suggested by President Benigno Aquino, was just one option to monitor the country's territory, as China appealed for stability in the region.
"If they happen at all, they are surveillance flights, they are not meant to be provocative. There's no offensive capability here," said the president's spokesman Ricky Carandang.
China's foreign ministry, in an embassy statement quoting spokesman Liu Weimin, called on all parties to maintain "peace and stability" in the South China Sea.
"We have noticed the reports," the ministry spokesman was quoted as saying.
"It is the hope of the Chinese side that peace and stability can be maintained... and parties concerned do things conducive to regional peace and stability," the statement said.
It did not specify the Philippines or the United States or mention the almost-three month long dispute between China and the Philippines over the Scarborough Shoal in the South China Sea.
The Scarborough Shoal dispute began after Chinese government vessels blocked Philippine ships from arresting Chinese fishermen near the shoal on April 10.
Both countries have been pressing their respective claims to the area with the poorly-equipped Philippines seeking the support of its main defence ally, the United States.
China claims nearly all of the South China Sea, even waters close to the coasts of neighbouring countries. The Philippines says the shoal is well within its 200-nautical-mile exclusive economic zone.
The shoal sits about 230 kilometres (140 miles) from the western coast of the Philippines' main island of Luzon. The nearest major Chinese land mass is 1,200 kilometres northwest of the shoal, according to Philippine navy maps.

You and everybody else alive encounter stress, daily, hourly and minute byminute. As unavoidable, inscrutable, and sometimes as aggressive as the IRS,stress is part of the human condition. It is not just a sense of being tense butis any event that causes a complex physiologic response called the "stressresponse."
While most people view stress as being something that is always negative, stressin fact can be good or bad. Negative stress can be caused by many things, suchas the death of a spouse or something as simple as being stuck in traffic.Positive stress can be the type you encounter in dating, public speaking,running a 5K race and many other daily activities.
Stress exists at many levels, from physical (injury, dehydration, heart attack)to emotional (loneliness, grief, financial insecurity, job-related problems).The question is not "Do we experience stress?" the question should be, "How dowe manage our stress?" Sally Maxwell, a yoga instructor, once commented, "If youdo not manage your stress, it will manage you." And if stress is managing you,things will not go well.
There are, however, relatively easy to follow and effective ways to managestress. We'll take a look at how humans respond to stress, and the problems anddiseases associated with it, as well as some of the more notable methods used tomitigate it.
The Evolution from Infection to Stress
During the first part of the 20th century most deaths in the United States weredue to infectious diseases. The diseases that our great-grandparents worriedabout were, among others, pneumonia, influenza and polio. Today, we are morelikely to be concerned about heart disease, diabetes, stroke and cancer. Whileit is not scientifically sound to say that all of these problems are caused bystress, we're on fairly solid ground when we suggest that stress does have animpact on blood vessel disease – heart disease, stroke, hypertension -"metabolic syndrome" (defined below) and even diabetes.
Dr. Robert Sapolsky, a professor of neurology at Stanford University, says thatwe suffer from diseases of luxury. Generally speaking, we eat too much, exercisetoo little and live very stressful lives, usually without ever stopping to thinkabout ways to manage our stress. We don't typically die at the age of 35 frompneumonia but live longer and suffer from diseases that are essentially the slowaccumulation of damage – with much of the damage due to stress.
In the 1920s, Harvard scientist Dr. Walter Cannon studied the short-termeffects of stress on laboratory animals. This was before the term "stress" waseven used in physiologic studies. He found that when faced with danger, animalsresponded with what he referred to as a "fight-or-flight" reaction. This was, infact, an initial stress response. Further studies suggested that "fight orflight" was a reaction that was innate and consistent across species. Bloodpressure, blood sugar, heart rate and respiratory rate all would go up.
What happens to animals placed under longer-term conditions of high stress?Canadian endocrinologist Dr. Hans Selye did much of the early work on stress andwas even the first to apply the term "stress" to animal physiology. Hediscovered early on that stress in laboratory animals caused ulcers, a reductionin their immune response and the ramped-up production of a hormone calledcortisol.
It turned out that stress caused a plethora of responses, which came to be knownsimply as "the stress response." The two primary hormones in the stress responseare epinephrine (a.k.a. Adrenaline®) and cortisol (similar tohydrocortisone, prednisone, medrol and others). Both hormones cause an increasein blood sugar. Short term, this makes sense. Long term, it can be devastating.For example, you wake up one night and smell smoke. You stress response kicks inand a number of things happen almost immediately:
- Your glucose goes up (your main energy source)
- Your blood pressure goes up, your heart rate goes up, your rate of breathing increases (you are now better able to deliver the energy source, glucose, to your body)
- You turn off digestion (now is not the time to digest the steak that you ate for dinner)
- Your immune response is suppressed (now is not the time for your body to worry about catching a cold)
- Your mind is clear, your senses are heightened and the situation may seem to occur in slow motion. You arise, wake your spouse and rapidly leave the house.
This is an effective acute stress response. However if this response ismaintained long-term, damage ensues.
One way of describing stress is to say that it is anything that knocks you outof balance; physical, emotional, mental or spiritual. Humans have the ability tonot only recognize that they have been knocked out of balance, but also theability to recognize that they are about to be knocked out of balance.
If you correctly predict a stressor, then you may be able to avoidunpleasantness or an emergency; for example, paying your bills on time or movingout of the way of a speeding taxi. However, if you constantly incorrectlypredict stressors or view small problems as being larger than they really arethen the volume on your stress-response system will be turned up all of thetime.
Too Much of a Good Thing
In today's society, most of us probably have stress-response volumes turned upto eight or nine out of 10. Dr. Saplosky said about the stress response system,"It was a system designed to be turned on for 30 seconds and we turn it on for30 years worrying about Social Security." We turn on this very effective, butarchaic, system, which was primarily designed to allow us to escape physicaltrouble, and we keep it on long-term for psychological reasons.
Does long-term activation of the stress-response system cause psychological andphysical problems? Yes. Continuous long-term stress run amuck can result in orworsen fatigue, digestive problems, impotency, amenorrhea (the abnormalcessation of menstruation), increased infections, elevated blood pressure,elevated blood sugar, post-traumatic stress disorder, depression and more. Notsurprisingly, it also causes a reduction in a sense of wellbeing.
Several years ago, Gerald Reaven, MD, now a professor emeritus at StanfordUniversity School of Medicine, noticed that many of his patients with type 2diabetes often would come to his clinic with high blood pressure, obesity,amenorrhea, high blood fats, cardiac disease and several other problems. Becauseof his observations, this collection of problems came to be known as Reaven'ssyndrome. Later it was called insulin resistance syndrome and syndrome-X, and isnow referred to as metabolic syndrome.
You must have at least three of the following problems in order to be diagnosedwith metabolic syndrome:1) abdominal obesity; 2) high triglycerides; 3) low HDL(good cholesterol); 4) high blood pressure; and 5) high blood glucose. Manypeople with type 2 diabetes also have metabolic syndrome and many people withmetabolic syndrome who do not have diabetes will eventually develop it.
Last year researchers published a study in the British Medical Journal thatevaluated the association between stress at work and the development ofmetabolic syndrome. This study, carried out in London, measured job-relatedstress in more than 10,000 people working in civil service over a 14-yearperiod. Researchers found that the greater the demands of the job were and theless control that the worker had over it, the greater the stress – and also agreater chance of developing metabolic syndrome.
Workers with chronic stress had a twofold greater chance of developing metabolicsyndrome. Scientists reasoned that high stress levels caused elevated cortisollevels in the workers, which in turn caused elevated glucose, elevated insulinresistance, low HDL, and other abnormalities in fat disposition.
What Can You Do About Stress?
So what, if anything, can be done to mitigate the deleterious effects of chronicstress in an era of information overload, long work hours, constant e-mails, 999television channels, war, global warming and the sky-is-falling mentalityfostered by the contemporary press? Could ancient solutions be useful fortoday's problems? The answer appears to be a resounding "yes"!
In the 1970s Harvard cardiologist Herbert Benson, MD, coined the phrase"relaxation response," the key to managing chronic stress. Benson published aseminal manuscript in the journal Psychiatry in 1974 that reported that after 20minutes of meditation (not medication) an individual's blood pressure, heartrate, respiratory rate, oxygen use, lactic acid production and carbon dioxideproduction all dropped. This short period of quieting the mind seemed to causereversal of the stress-response.
A more recent work published by Tobias Esch at The Mind/Body Institute atHarvard suggests that the relaxation response can be achieved by not onlymeditation but also by some forms of prayer, Tai Chi and Yoga. Other activities,such as imagery, affirmations, biofeedback and distance running may have thesame effect but have not been as well studied. It does seem, based on what wecurrently know, that you must get yourself into a quiet state of mind in orderto realize the benefits of the relaxation response.
Dr. Jon Kabat-Zinn, an expert on meditation at the University of MassachusettsSchool of Medicine, says that for the majority of his patients, regardless ofdiagnosis, meditation resulted in reduced anxiety, depression and hostility.Also, studies have also shown that meditators have a more profound positiveresponse to the same immune system stimulus when compared to non-meditators.
You do not need a guru, or even a trip to India in order to get into the stateof mind that causes this relaxation response. You need only four things:
- A relatively quiet place (or a loud place with noise-canceling headphones)
- A mental device – something to focus your thoughts on. This can be a simple word like "peace" or "hope;" or a short prayer or phrase that you can repeat over and over; or a sound like "Om," the traditional Hindu chant; or simply focus on your breathing
- A passive attitude that in a non-judgmental, non-critical manner will allow you to return to the object of focus when other thoughts intrude – and other thoughts will intrude
- A comfortable position, such as sitting in a chair with your feet flat on the ground or on a cushion on the floor (but either way with your back uplifted).
Spend 10 to 20 minutes as relaxed as possible while focusing on your chosenmental device. When outside thoughts intrude simply refocus on the mentaldevice. If you do this daily for a week or two you will see a profound shift inyour perception of daily life. Try it and see.
Another useful technique for stress mitigation is yoga. Yoga, depending on thetype that you practice, may serve the dual purpose of quieting the mind andoffering a physical workout. Yoga studios have proliferated almost as fast acell phones over the past decade and it is difficult to walk more that a fewblocks in any urban area without coming across one or more of them.
However, to the uninitiated yoga can be confusing, complicated, and even a bitstrange. Before you launch into a yoga class for your first time, shop aroundand do a bit of research. Call the studio and talk to an instructor and tell himor her about your current level of physical activity and your previousexperience or lack of with yoga. If you are not physically active, talk to yourphysician before starting yoga.
Keep in mind that yoga comes in many flavors: Ashtanga, Bikram, Iyengar,Kundalini, Hatha and others. Some forms are extremely physically demanding andsome, such as Bikram, could even potentially be dangerous for a person withdiabetes. For first-timers, Hatha yoga is a good bet. It is widely practiced inthe United States, is relatively gentle, focuses on poses and breathing, is veryrelaxing and is a great stress reliever.
Does yoga really offer benefits? Yes. Studies have demonstrated that yoga, alongwith psychosocial support, low-fat diet and moderate aerobic exercise, hasdramatic effects on reducing and even perhaps reversing cardiovascular problems.Many of the studies in the area were carried out by Dean Ornish, MD, from theUniversity of California, San Francisco. More recently, Dr. Sally Blank atWashington State University did a study on cancer survivors that demonstratedthat yoga intervention caused an improvement in the immune status, a reductionin anxiety and pain, and a reduction in depression in the study subjects.
What else can we do to mitigate stress? Generally speaking, studies havesuggested that stress is more damaging if we:
- Have no outlet for it
- Have no way to predict when stress will occur and have no control over our stressors
- Are socially isolated.
Interestingly enough, social isolation is one the strongest predictors ofnegative medical outcomes. Socially isolated individuals have threefold higherdeath rates, cardiovascular disease, high cholesterol, are more likely to smoke,and are more likely to be obese than are similar individuals who are sociallyaffiliated.
So, the key is to work on developing outlets for stress; learn something new,create something, challenge yourself. Try to gain the advantage over thesituations that cause you stress. Ask for help, talk with others to seek asolution, set limits. Have friends and take good care of them. Thomas Jeffersonsaid, "But friendship is precious, not only in the shade, but in the sunshine oflife; and thanks to a benevolent arrangement of things, the greater part of lifeis sunshine."

No More Stinky CarsWe're talking about that barn find that you just brought home, which smells like a whole barnfull of critters lived in it, even though it was wrapped up and stored properly for years.
That's where Meguiar's comes in. Its new Air Re-Fresher with Odor Eliminating Mist easily eliminates unpleasant odors, and leaves behind a fresh, crisp smelling interior.
It provides a whole-car solution, unlike conventional odor removers that temporarily mask smells. Once activated, the canister uses Meguiar's odor-eliminating technology to find and neutralize unwanted orders quickly and permanently, including the air-duct system.
To use, simply engage the mister inside an empty, parked car, then leave the fan turned on and all the doors closed for 10-15 minutes. Next, remove the canister, open all the doors and allow your car to sit for an additional 10-15 minutes, before experiencing a like-new smelling vehicle.
Look for Meguiar's Air Re-Fresher at your favorite auto parts retailer…before you need a gas mask to open the door of that barn find!

Save Your C7's Front BumperGot a new C7, but you have to deal with steep driveways—or speed bumps like the ones we have at One VETTEMag Plaza? Save your C7's front bodywork with a set of bumper savers from Granatelli Motor Sports.
They're designed to protect your '14-later Corvette's front end of the Corvette from damage caused by lowering, driving up steep driveways, dips, speed bumps, and more.
The active skidplate design includes proprietary integrated urethane wheels, plus all the hardware needed for a DIY, do-it-this-weekend installation. Granatelli Motor Sports says that because all the parts needed for installation come with the kit, welding is not required, but is recommended.

Classic Style 2.0Edelbrock's "Elite 2" chrome air cleaners and valve covers are just the dress-up items that your C1-C3 Vette's engine bay can use. Their all-new ground-up streamlined modern design, inspired by the original "Elite" series, retains the classic raised fin look, with black accenting between the fins that'll make your Vette's engine stand out from the crowd.
The Elite 2 Series air cleaner is 14 inches in diameter, and includes a 3-inch washable and reusable air filter element. The top is constructed from heavy-gauge die-cast aluminum, and the bottom is durable stamped steel with a chrome finish that will fit 51⁄8-inch diameter carburetors and throttle bodies.
To top off your 1959-later smallblock's heads, Edelbrock's Elite 2 Series valve covers come in two sizes: Low profile (that'll clear your air-conditioning, alternator brackets, and aluminum rockers) and high profile (with room inside to clear most roller rockers and valvetrain components). Both feature heavy-gauge, die-cast aluminum construction, with a high-quality polished finish for a show-winning look.

Want More Boost?Do you have an LS9-powered '09-'10 Corvette ZR1, or a same-engined VetteRod? Here's something to add even more performance: Lingenfelter Performance Engineering's (LPE) overdrive harmonic balancer kit.
The track and dynamometer testing has shown that it will overdrive your LS9's supercharger by 14 percent (resulting in a supercharger speed of 17,500 rpm at 6,500 rpm engine speed)—which means more boost. Need we say what more boost will result in more of?
The kit includes a Lingenfelter ATI overdrive LS9 11-rib harmonic balancer (the balancer hub has a keyway to accept the factory crank key); a new GM-keyed LS9 friction washer; and a new GM LS9 crank bolt.
LPE's overdrive balancer kit can also be used with its LS9 supercharger pulleys for even higher supercharger speeds and boost levels—but this kit isn't recommended for use on LS9s that are road-raced or run in sustained high-rpm applications (i.e. long-distance open-road races)—LPE's got a 2.60-inch diameter pulley upgrade kit that'll overdrive the supercharger 19 percent, if you're planning on entering an event like the Silver State Classic.
Installing the kit requires ECM programming to adjust overboost limits—get more info about that from LPE.

Build It To LastBuilding a Vette for combined street/track action? You'll need strength all along your ride's driveline, like what Strange Engineering's S-Series chrome-moly steel transmission and pinion yokes—and U-joints—deliver.
They're manufactured from high-quality steel alloy forgings that are fully heat-treated to achieve maximum tensile strength, then CNC-machined to assure concentricity and balance for ideal driveshaft operation. Log onto www.strangeengineering.net, to see which S-Series transmission and pinion yokes fit your Vette.
Combine them with Strange's 1350 series U-joints, whose strength can handle the most demanding of applications, or their 1480 U-joints—the ultimate in driveline strength and dependability.

Improve Your C7's SoundThe new parts for the new-generation Corvettes keep coming…like the latest from Billy Boat Performance Exhaust—its Corvette C7 Fusion Bi-Modal Exhaust.
It provides a deeper, richer, and more voluminous sound than the C7's original-equipment NPP system, incorporating two passages through which exhaust can travel. One passage is a muffled and chambered tube incorporating Billy Boat's exclusive PRT (Purge Resonance Technology) to eliminate drone at cruising speeds, while delivering deep and smooth American V-8 muscle car sound. The other passage is a straight-through tube that increases the sound volume to adrenaline pumping levels, while increasing horsepower and torque.
A 3-inch butterfly valve, built into the mufflers, regulates which passage is used.
It's manufactured to precise standards using T-304 stainless steel, it's available with your choice of 4-inch round or 4½-inch oval double-walled tips, it's made in the USA, and comes with a limited lifetime warranty against corrosion or burn-through.

Stockton's first "carrot mob" will swarm La Palma restaurant Saturday. In exchange for all the business, the owners have agreed to green up the building.
Stockton's first "carrot mob" will swarm La Palma restaurant Saturday. In exchange for all the business, the owners have agreed to green up the building.
A carrot mob is a large group (the "mob") which constructively uses its buying power (the "carrot") to persuade businesses to adopt better practices.
It's a "buycott," not a boycott. The idea is to help a local business, make the world a better place, and have fun.
"I want to leave Stockton as a city being better than it was when I came," said Brian Kiely, who dressed up as a giant carrot to drum up support for the event.
Kiely is a student at University of the Pacific. This carrot mob germinated on campus. But it is not exclusively a Pacific thing. You can join, too.
First things first, though. What's it like to dress like a giant carrot?
"A lot of people just say, ... 'Dude, why are you dressed like a carrot?' " Kiely said. "I say, 'You know what? That is the question I was hoping you would ask.' "
Kiely and others recruited at least 200 students, and perhaps twice that number. Each buys a $10 ticket. La Palma devised several menu items to fit the price.
Between noon and 5 p.m. Saturday, student groups of 50 will stroll from the campus to La Palma on the Miracle Mile stretch of Pacific Avenue.
In exchange for this welcome rush of business, La Palma's owners have agreed to invest 25 percent of the proceeds into making their building more sustainable.
If 150 people go, and La Palma makes $1,500, it will invest $375 in energy efficient lighting.
If 300 people go, and La Palma makes $3,000, the owners will chip in $3,000 more and replace four old refrigerators with a $6,000 walk-in that saves energy overall.
"I just think that the carrot mob is a really good idea for the community," said La Palma manager Manuel Guizar. "It strengthens the relationship between the UOP kids and the Stockton community, especially the Miracle Mile. Not to mention all the money."
Students at Pacific's Global Center for Social Entrepreneurship embraced the carrot mob concept because it combines their values, their buying power and college fun.
"Therefore it's the perfect opportunity to show some youth power as well and how they can influence the private sector to be more energy efficient and socially responsible," said Jerry Hildebrand, the center's executive director.
Students chose the Miracle Mile because it's within walking distance of the campus. They pitched the idea to three businesses. The one that pledged the highest percentage of revenues towards green improvements got the deal.
Besides the carrot guy, students are promoting the event through posters and social media. One student finagled a T-shirt shop to donate carrot mob tees to the first 200 students.
"This thing has gone viral, man," said Hildebrand. "It's huge."
It's also good education. "It teaches students by doing," Hildebrand said. "It's real hands-on, experiential learning that they can make a difference. That's what I really like about this thing."
Student Lauren Peterson said she's mobbing up because, "Not only are students getting a great meal out of it, but they are also positively impacting on Stockton as a community, which I think is a great thing for our university to do.
"Yes, it's fun to socialize and all that stuff," she added. But, "It opened my eyes to a kind of different side of business that I've never really considered before."
You, too, can fill your belly with comida Mexicana and make the world a better place. Eat at La Palma, 2301 Pacific Ave., between 10 a.m. and 10 p.m. Saturday. Tickets for $10 will be available there.
I'd go after 5 p.m. to avoid the crush of students, unless you like crushes of students.
Another student organizer, Mustafa Babak, said he hopes the carrot mob event will be the first of many.
"This is not a one-time deal," Babak said. "We hope that this becomes a tradition in Stockton. So that every year we have a carrot mob and support a business. And make a difference in our community."

Ikelite DS160 Strobe Kit
Product Code: 4060.3
Availability: Discontinued
This kit combines everything you need to add a strobe to any Ikelite compact or DSLR TTL system.
The DS160 combines power with wide angle coverage to give you the most bang for your buck. The quality of light is exceptional due to a round flash tube and custom powder coated reflector designed specifically to deliver the softest, most even coverage possible.
A bright, concentrated LED aiming light provides more than enough light for focusing or as a night diving light. The LED turns off and on when the strobe is fired, ensuring that no bright spots will ruin your photo. State of the art Li-ion battery technology produces over 450 full power flashes at an unprecedented 1.4 second recycle time. Our proprietary quick-release toggle system attaches the battery pack with ease and confidence, making a flooded battery virtually impossible. The size of the DS160 is uniquely balanced to its weight to provide near neutral buoyancy in salt water.
The Ikelite-style sync cord plug is the most reliable waterproof strobe sync connection available. When combined with an Ikelite TTL housing, the DS161 automatically adjusts brightness to provide perfect exposure whether you're shooting macro, portrait or wide angle. Enjoy the power of superior accuracy, faster recycle time, and longer battery life when compared to similar fiber optic systems.
To shoot dual strobes, combine two kits with a compatible Dual TTL Sync Cord. Unlike the standard TTL Sync Cord, the Dual TTL Sync Cord is "Y" shaped with one straight cord to the housing and two longer, coiled cords for the attachment of two Ikelite strobes.
You do not need to shoot two of the same strobes; strobes of different size and power can be combined. We recommend traveling with both single and dual sync cords for flexibility to shoot either one or two strobes as the situation demands.
Built of NiTuff anodized aluminum with 1 inch (2.5 cm) diameter ball components, this system represents the standard for the underwater lighting industry. This kit includes our most popular strobe arm consisting of the strobe mount, two clamps, one 6 in (15cm) extension, and mount to Quick Release Handle. Overall extended length of the arm is approximately 14 in (34.5 cm). A great start to any system, providing flexibility to shoot both wide angle and macro photography. Additional extensions and clamps can always be added to get your strobe way out there!
Ikelite 1 in ball components are compatible with most 1 in arm system components from TLC, Ultralight, Nauticam, and others.
Coiled sync cord with Ikelite-style plugs on both ends. Provides TTL operation with any compatible system featuring an Ikelite-style electrical bulkhead and DS strobe. The Ikelite-style plug is widely recognized as the most reliable waterproof strobe sync connection available. Built-in strain reliefs reduce stress on cord ends.

As I said before, he would do what he did here this season; energy and some scoring, rebounding and defense off the bench. The Sonics have a pretty bad bench and replacing Rashard with Durant doesn't improve the bench any.
Benches are overrated. The Knicks have a pretty deep bench (David Lee, Francis, Jamal Crawford, Balkman...) and still suck. Stars win games, not bench players.
As for the Sonics, they'd look to move Wilcox before moving Collison. That's for sure.
Benchs are essential and make the difference between a good team and a great team! Maybe guys like Gelable will develop but right now, their bench is disgraceful and Pietrus has shown he is productive being next to atleast two guys that are great scorers.
Wilcox looks to have more potential than Collison and he has a bigger contract as well and so will be harder to trade

"Tommy refers to his friend Sanjay. Now had we continued, Sanjay would have been Luke's boyfriend. Because children's BBC wanted to have - I've never said this in any interview anywhere - wanted us to have a gay character on children's BBC. Just a normal gay character. And so they said to us, 'Can you do that with Sarah Jane' and, I don't even think some of the writers on the show know this, because obviously we got taken off air sadly. Tommy wanted to come back into the show and we were going to approach him and say, 'Do you mind if he's gay and has a boyfriend?' So that was the plan, because of Steven Andrew [then Head of Drama and Acquisitions for CBBC] wanted it but it never came to pass. Isn't that sad? It's a shame."
Davies also said that one suggestive line was cut from Joseph Lidster's earlier story "The Nightmare Man": "In the very last scene he says goodbye and Sarah Jane says, 'Have a lovely time at university. You'll grow up, you'll find a girlfriend,' and he says, 'Oh, could be a boyfriend!' And she goes, 'Well, as long as it's not alien, I don't care!' We ended up cutting it."
Presumably the line went because our Sarah Jane wouldn't actually care whether it was a girl, boy, or alien who her son was dating...

The Coal Association of Canada has released a special report on the industry's economic impact in British Columbia as the battle heats up over coal exports from Port Metro Vancouver.
Arguing that coal is a catalyst for economic development, trade and employment, coal association president Ann Marie Hann said economics has been missed in the discussion over coal exports.
Opponents of Vancouver's growing role as a coal exporting centre cite coal's high greenhouse gas emissions and the health risks from increased coal dust along transportation routes as reasons for shelving expansion plans.
Port Metro Vancouver has already approved one expansion at Neptune Bulk Terminals in North Vancouver, and is considering a new coal terminal at Fraser Surrey Docks in Surrey. Metro Vancouver is now North America's largest coal exporting port.
"Clearly this is a response to the 'coal export controversy' now raging in Metro Vancouver," Kevin Washbrook, of the citizens group Voters Taking Action On Climate Change, said of the industry report. He said the industry is attempting to build an argument in response to concerns about the environmental threat posed by coal.
Hann said the economic argument needs to be included in the debate.
"Certainly the report is now timely because one of the things that we feel has been missed in this discussion, is the important role that the coal industry does play in British Columbia," Hann said Friday. "It provides substantial employment and obviously considerable revenues to the government that they can then use to support some of the social programs that British Columbians are looking for.
"It's a significant player on the B.C. economy and we just want to make sure that British Columbians fully recognize the role that it plays," she said. "The suggestion is that we should stop doing it. Then the question becomes: What are the alternatives that are going to replace coal on an economic basis? Where are these new jobs going to be coming from? What is going to replace the substantial revenues that are going to the government?"
Most of the coal mined in B.C. is used for steelmaking, rather than power generation, with Japan and Korea the prime destinations. However, demand from China is on the rise.
According to the report, prepared by consultants PwC using 2011 figures, the province's 10 coal mines produced 25 million tonnes of coal worth $5.2 billion and contributed $3.2 billion to the province's gross domestic product. (B.C.'s total GDP that year was $218 billion.)
Coal mining accounts for 3,800 direct jobs and contributes $298 million in royalties to provincial coffers. Using multipliers and including the impact of the money spent by the coal sector, the report pegs total jobs created by coal mining at 26,000. When taxes are included, the industry contributes $399 million to provincial revenues.
The numbers in the report were included in a letter sent earlier in the week to Port Metro Vancouver by a coalition of organizations and people supporting the industry.
The 67 signatories to the letter state that they "want to ensure the port is aware that there is strong support for the important role of B.C.'s coal industry in our economy."
Washbrook said the report only addresses economic issues, avoiding social and environmental issues involved in the mining, exporting and burning of coal.
He countered the report's big numbers by saying that in terms of CO2 emissions, if the industry were to mine the province's 12 billion tonnes of minable coal identified in the report, B.C. coal would eclipse the Alberta oilsands as a contributor to global CO2.
"In my opinion these kinds of one-sided arguments simply aren't tenable any more. They reflect an industry in denial," he said in an email.
He also said the numbers used by the industry to promote coal's importance in providing revenues for social services lack context, which makes it difficult to have a conversation about them. He noted as an example that the $316 million in coal mineral taxes that the report states were collected by the province, pales next to the $29 billion B.C. spends on health and education alone.
"People need to ask themselves, is a relatively small amount of government revenue worth the risk of much bigger expenses in the future from climate change?"

There seems to be some wind blowing in this weekend in the Bay.
I'm going to don on the wetsuit and hit up Ocean Beach tomorrow - looks like a good 4 to make Beaufort happy.
I'll probably hit up somewhere directly inside the bay if the wind tops 20 mph on the coast on Monday.
I by no means pro, but I should be able to stay up wind if the waves aren't too heavy.
Email me firstname.lastname@example.com if anyone wants to coordinate. Otherwise I hope to see you out there.
I new to the scene up here btw, so I hope this post is in the right spot.

Student or Learner
Hi everyone,
would be great if someone could grade my text..
Choose one of the following transportation vehicles and explain why you think it has changed peoples lives.
- automobiles
- bicycles
- airplanes
Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.
I do strongly believe that airplanes have changed peoples lives. Longer distances are no longer an obstacle in every day life. The world more and more moves together, people have to be on places all over the world all the time. Without airplanes life would be different.
First, airplanes change our lifes in the context of travelling. Years ago we have spend our holidays only miles from our homes. Though that has been nice, with airplanes you have quite more options for your vacation. Nowadays people fly to Thailand or Australia, the US or Africa. It has increasingly gotten easier to explore the whole world. I, for example, enjoy every January a week on the Canary Island. By plane it is just a 2 ½ hour flight, but without it I would have to take a ship, which would take me days if not weeks only to get there.
Second, airplanes have also changed the way of business. There are quite a lot of people who frequently fly to meetings or customers. Those frequent flyers work all over the world thanks to airplanes. Without them their jobs wouldnt be possible to do. Also there are people who work far abroad and only fly home on weekends or on days off. That is to say that people do have the possibilities to work in foreign countries without abandoning their family and friends. A friend of mine does work in Stuttgart, which is only 1 hour away by plane. Thanks to airplanes he gets home every weekend, so he still has his friends here in Austria but works in his dream job in Germany.
To sum up, based upon the reasons above, Im of the opinion that airplanes have changed peoples lives in many positive ways.
Thank you!
