Nikolas Toocheck, a 12-year-old from Pennsylvania, has run a marathon on every continent. Toocheck started running marathons when he was only 9. His goal is to run a marathon in each of the 50 states.
Toocheck certainly sounds like one heck of a kid -- he competes in four other sports besides running, gets straight A's, and uses his marathons to raise money for charities. But how much endurance running is too much for a young body?
Unfortunately, there has been little research done so far to answer this question. In one study cited by the New York Times, Dr. William Roberts from the University of Minnesota is quoted as saying:
"What we found in our study [is that] with proper training and planning, the marathon distance can be safe for certain highly motivated children. That does not mean that I would encourage most children [to run a marathon]"; the Times piece said we do not know "if there might be long-term, undesirable consequences. [However], the possibility seems remote."
In an article in The Atlantic, however, some doctors noted that children's bodies are less able to absorb the impact of running than adults' bodies are, and that:
...The health implications are worrisome: Like a car with bad suspension, less absorption equals greater impact to bones, joints, and soft tissue, possibly leaving children more at risk for overuse injury.
One doctor in the article even recommended that children under the age of 16 not run any farther than a 10K (a little over 6 miles). Dan Hollingsworth, a physical therapist and member of the CrossFit Kids Seminar Staff as well as the CrossFit Endurance Seminar Staff, agrees:
... There are no cut and dry answers ... [but] my personal belief ... is that middle school kids should not be doing things like half-marathons, at least, not on a regular basis ... I believe their focus should be on shorter events, such as 5Ks.
More from The Stir: Kids and Organized Sports: Don't Push Them Too Early
Without the science to confirm that running and other rigorous sports are bad for children's health, however, parents are asked to use their common sense and do what they believe is right for their child.
Writer Alyssa Royce's 16-year-old daughter is a weight lifter who leaves tomorrow for the Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs. Though Royce admits to being nervous about the emotional and physical aspects of competing in the sport, she has also seen the tremendous benefits it has had for her daughter:
As a teenage girl, it's been awesome to see her focus on food as fuel, and really listen to her body. Her focus is on being strong and happy, which has helped us avoid a lot of the traps of 'teenage girlhood.'
In a post on her blog in which she talks about what it has been like parenting a child athlete, Royce also recounts a time when:
In this day and age of women being packaged as tiny little sex-objects who need the approvals of others, [my daughter] gleefully told me that her quads didn't fit in her skinny jeans. She rejoices at the sight of her muscles. Her strength.
As the mother of a daughter myself, I don't think you could ask for much better than that. And the lessons that sports teach kids about teamwork, perseverance, and discipline are hard to replicate in other after-school activities.
So what can we do? For one, we need to make sure our younger runners have shoes that fit and are tied well, and that the area they will be running in is free from obstacles, holes, or other hazards (younger children tend to injure themselves while running due to falls). Older kids should be monitored to make sure that they don't push themselves past their limits, and that they get the right amount of rest and proper nutrition.
It's also important that parents don't decide that a particular sport is going to be their child's "thing" and enroll them in classes year-round. Says Hollingsworth:
When a young kid expresses an interest or talent in something, the common thing to do is have them do that and only that sport, nearly year-round. That is an absolute recipe for injury and burnout. The best athletes are those who participate in a variety of sports/activities and who also place some emphasis on general strength and conditioning training.
For now, parents who have a child who is in love with running or any other sport should feel free to encourage them in their pursuits so long as they are doing it safely and, of course, happily.

- 20-22, The Mall, Bromley, BR1 1TS (streetmap) (osm) (gmap) (bingmap) (streetview)
- Mon-Sat: 7am-5pm; Sun: 9am-5pm
A friendly café in the Bromley Mall hiding about 100m away from the high street.
The large menu includes all the usual "all day breakfast" choices (set meals £7 - £9, or a build-your-own, with a couple of Turkish variants too), burgers, baked potatoes, home made dishes (lasagne, moussaka, etc), and childrens meals (most £4).
In January 2019, Nick had a Turkish breakfast for £7.50, which included olives and grilled haloumi, whilst Andrea observed that the cheese in her baked potato actually tasted of something (in contrast to the cheese used by the baked potato restaurant in the Glades shopping centre nearby).
Nick's verdict: We found it fun, the best lunch option we've discovered when shopping in Bromley, and will go back.

Top 10 Best Christina Applegate Movie and TV Roles of All Time Christina Applegate went from America's favorite daughter to mom.
Christina Applegate is an American actress who captured America's hearts on one of Fox's biggest TV sitcoms. Refusing to be typecast, she soon impressed critics and audiences in movies, television, and on stage. Check out these highlights from Christina Applegate's filmography today.
10. Alvin and the Chipmunks Series
Character: Brittany
Applegate leads the Chippettes, a rival/love interest group for Alvin's Chipmunks.
9. The Sweetest Thing
Character: Courtney Rockcliffe
This romantic comedy is slightly above average, thanks to a likable cast.
8. Hall Pass
Character: Grace
Hall Pass is an ensemble comedy about cheating when it's not cheating.
7. Vacation
Character: Debbie Griswold
The National Lampoon's Vacation reboot needed a great cast to hold up to the originals. Applegate and Ed Helms certainly deliver.
6. Samantha Who?
Character: Samantha
This underrated TV show has a lot to offer, even today. A woman gets amnesia and rebuilds her life from scratch as much less of a self-absorbed narcissist.
5. Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy/Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues
Character: Veronica Corningstone
Applegate shines as the rival/love interest for Will Ferrell's Ron Burgundy. She stands her ground against misogyny and masochism in a way that makes us eternally proud.
4. Bad Moms/A Bad Moms Christmas
Character: Gwendolyn
This hilarious movie series features Applegate in a great role.
3. Dead to Me
Character: Jen Harding
Applegate's Netflix show is a dark comedy that gives her something new to work with. This meaty character has to be fun to play.
2. Married…With Children
Character: Kelly Bundy
Fox's raunchy sitcom was an instant hit that lasted for years. Applegate's rebellious teenage daughter always took things up a notch, and it's no wonder she was able to parlay this role into a sustainable career.
1. Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead
Character: Swell
This iconic 90s movie still holds up today, thanks to lovable characters and a stellar performance by Applegate.

So another Iris Prize Festival has come and gone, and now I've got that day-after-Boxing-Day feeling – a combination of extreme lethargy and mild melancholy.
As always, I spent my five days at the festival writing the website's official blog, which you can read right here, but there were a few films I wanted to mention here, in the Forest of Beasts.
The Iris Prize itself – the opportunity to shoot another short film, with a budget of £25,000, in the UK – went to Gorilla, from Australian director Tim Marshall. It was a surprise choice – my personal favourites were The Last Time I Saw Richard, a quasi-horror-movie set in a psychiatric institution, and For Dorian, about a father's dawning realisation that his teenage son – who has Down's syndrome – might be gay. That said, the very unusualness (unusualosity?) of the decision is kind of cool, and demonstrates more than a little "thinking outside the box" on the jury's behalf.
The award for Best British Short went to My Mother (pictured, top), from Cardiff-based director Jay Bedwani. If you get the chance to check out this 10 minute portrait of a San Francisco drag artist, please do. It's warm, intimate and beautifully made, and the subject, Gustavo, is just so frank and endlessly fascinating. Though there were only two UK films in competition this year, My Mother would have been a deserving winner any year.
The features programme included Silent Youth, an excellent German drama about the burgeoning relationship between two inarticulate young men. Inarticulacy is a really difficult thing to pull off in film or literature – the temptation for many writers is to make their characters so much more fluent and confident than anyone in real life, and rendering your characters virtually mute can make them boring – but this movie was utterly gripping and handsomely shot on location in and around Berlin.
Elsewhere, there were more candy-coloured delights to be found in Israeli director Eytan Fox's Cupcakes and US teen comedy GBF, both of which were very funny and endearing. (Cupcakes went on to win the audience award for Best Feature.)
Possibly the most interesting – or, certainly, the most controversial – feature on show this year was James Franco and Travis Matthews's Interior. Leather Bar. This is the pseudo-documentary in which Franco and Matthews, playing themselves, set out to recreate the "missing 40 minutes" from William Friedkin's 1980 movie Cruising. The film is surprisingly funny – much of it is played for giggles – but also very explicit. However, those expecting out-and-out porn are likely to be disappointed (I'm fairly certain I heard the bored squeaking of leather chaps from those who'd turned up expecting non-stop bondage). Instead, it serves as an interesting essay on movie censorship, and the hypocrisy of a system (mainly, in this case, the MPAA) that is tougher on scenes of intimacy than scenes of barbaric violence.
Overall, the standard of films this year was another step up. LGBT cinema has come on in leaps in bounds in the 6 years since Iris began. You still get an abundance of "coming out" stories, of course, as you might expect, but these seem to make up a smaller fraction of the programme with each passing year. There will always be room for stories about coming out, for as long as people feel the need to come out, but the onus is on the filmmakers to find new and interesting ways to tell that story.
Shortly before this year's Iris a friend – who is gay – asked me if I thought there was a specific need for festivals like Iris, or London Lesbian and Gay Film Festival, or LA's Outfest, and – though I know I'm hardly impartial – I replied that there is. Many cinema chains and distributors work along on a principle of "That's your lot" when it comes to queer cinema. So this year, for example, we've had Behind the Candelabra, and it did very well in cinemas, but can you name one other film with gay or lesbian protagonists that played your local multiplex this year? If you live in the States, you didn't even get to see the Liberace biopic on the big screen.
Film streaming sites like Netflix – which has a pretty good selection of recent LGBT films – are making it even easier to access queer cinema in the comfort of your own home, as are LGBT interest labels such as TLA in the US and Peccadillo Pictures in the UK, but thanks to a combination of market forces and distributor over-cautiousness, you won't see many of these titles in the cinema. Niche festivals can give those films a showcase that's both practical and commercially viable, and which ultimately can appeal to those outside the "community" too. (30% of the audience members at Iris, for example, identify as heterosexual.)
What's more, in a world where LGBT rights are taking massive, retro-steps toward the Dark Ages in places such Russia, Cameroon and Iran, anything that offers a public platform for LGBT voices from around the world has to be a good thing.

Readers often ask where do writers come up with ideas for their characters? In my case, the birth of a hero comes from a variety of sources. News reports, television programs, books I've read; all are great resources.
But my favorite characters grow organically from stories I've already written. For my new release, Missing: The Lady Said No, the idea for my hero, Augustus Grant, came to me from a previous book where the main character was a mystery writer suffering from writer's block.
Gus is the character my hero, Joel Carpenter, (in the holiday romance novelSilver Bells) was writing about. I fell in love with the bumbling detective and decided then and there he needed his own story!
Gus is smart, irreverent, a little bit clumsy (okay, a LOT clumsy!) and still in love with the girl he let get away.

April 30, 1789: At New York's Federal Hall in lower Manhattan, George Washington was sworn in as the first president of the United States. Washington was a reluctant president. At the age of 57, he wanted to stay retired. But he feared political factions were tearing the nation apart, and agreed to serve. He would serve two terms in office before retiring for good in 1798. New York City, was of course, the capital of the United States at that time.
April 30, 1939: Attending the New York World's Fair, Franklin Roosevelt became the first president to appear on TV.
April 30, 1970: President Richard Nixon announced that U.S. troops were invading Cambodia — used by North Vietnam to wage war on South Vietnam. Nixon's public announcement came after a year of Cambodian bombing that the administration tried to keep quiet. The invasion of Cambodia widened the public split over Vietnam. Some 4 million students protested; four were killed at Ohio's Kent State University.

Ava all bundled up and ready to play!
Aiden making the first snow angel of 2011!
Ava and Austen posing with one of the many cedar trees we have in our yard. They look beautiful in the snow!The next day Daddy had to work and the boys were dying to make a snowman. "We can't let the snow melt!" Dad was working overtime and spending the night at work, so it was all up to Mom. Just a disclaimer- (I had never built a snowman before, 1) because this much snow is rare, 2) because I have never really enjoyed playing in the snow. But I'll do anything for my kiddos.) Aiden came up with the idea for using grapes for the eyes and of course a baby carrot for the nose.
Our finished product, or should I say my finished product.
The kids were frozen by this point, no time for smiles!
The kids were frozen by this point, no time for smiles!
About 3 minutes into building the snowman the kids forgot about poor Mom, who was 8 months pregnant and doing good to breathe in Daddy's coveralls! The boys were off exploring and poor Ava was trying to keep up. Every few minutes I would hear an "uh-oh" followed by that sweet voice saying, "Mom-ma". Her legs weren't quite long enough to walk in the snow and I would turn around to find her lying flat on her back, stranded in the snow. She never cried, and would wait very patiently for Momma to come to her rescue. Once the snowman was finished the boys were content with the results. Except for the comments such as "I bet Dad could have built a bigger one!"-Aiden and "Can I karate chop it now?"-Austen.

I did my weigh-in today and I am happy to say that I did not put on as much as I thought. I got up at 5:30 a.m. and gathered my courage to just get over with it. Facts are facts and can not be ignored for too long.´So here we go, the truth.
When I started HerbaLife in May 2010 my weight was 341.7 lbs. Writing it in lbs is really shocking!! Anyway, I was very disciplined with it, until September 2010 when my mother's birthday made me slip. My weight then was 304.2 lbs. Ever since September I have been trying to get back on track but to no avail. I just couldn't gather up the strength and ended up putting on again. My actually weight is 315.2 lbs. So I put on again, 11 lbs to be exact.
I am somewhat disappointed with myself. I took me such a long time to get to 304, I had almost reached the big 3 and still I had to put on again. Then again, I am also happy that I did not regain too much. I was still doing HerbaLife, yet I did not care about portion size or a snack now and then. Had I stopped with HerbaLife entirely, I guess I could have put on 30 lbs easily. So I am happy. Why am I happy?? Well, I really thought I regained more.
I feel really energized now. Okay, let's sum up the facts…
May 2010 – 341.7 lbs.
Sept. 2010 – 304.2 lbs.
Feb. 2011 – 315.2 lbs.
Total weight-loss: 26,5 lbs.
Okay, now that the difficult task of just being honest with myself is out-of-the-way, let's create a goal. This won't be difficult I believe. I am not going to say, let's reach 140 lbs, cause such a number is only going to discourage me. Because it will feel like I am not getting any closer, so let's go in steps.
My first goal is 299 lbs, just to crack this number. It's been years since I have last been there, so let's do that. 😉
After work I will continue with the changes in my flat and do PS3 Active 2 for the first time.
Okay, I am going to enjoy my second shake today, Cookies and Cream flavour it's 11:55 a.m. and I am getting hungry.

It�s easy to show love with a big box of gooey chocolates, but there�s nothing romantic about soaring blood-sugar levels or suffering health.
With booming numbers of diabetics and the continuing popularity of carb-free diets, holidays can present a challenge.
So what do you get your sugar-free sweetheart for Valentine�s Day?
"A lot of people fear the holidays once they find out they have diabetes," said Holly Dufrene, a registered dietitian with The Medical Team in Houma. "It seems like every holiday focuses on food."
That�s especially true in south Louisiana, where food forms the centerpiece of any celebration, and the holiday season that starts at Thanksgiving stretches beyond New Year�s Day to Fat Tuesday.
But local dietitians say opportunities abound for showing loved ones affection without tempting them to disrupt a low-sugar diet.
Giving gifts that aren�t loaded with sugar can be just as sweet -- or sweeter.
Sugar-free or low-sugar Valentine�s gifts show diabetics and other carb-conscious sweeties that the giver cares enough to support their efforts to stay healthy, said Simone Camel, instructor and coordinator of dietetics at Nicholls State University.
Here�s a few ideas on how to treat a low-sugar loved one:
Most markets and superstores offer wide selections of sugar-free candies-mints, Red Hots, chocolates and more.
"Sugar-free turtles are excellent," said Paige Robichaux, a registered nurse and certified-diabetes educator at Leonard J. Chabert Medical Center in Houma. "There�s enough really good sugar-free candy out there."
Gift-givers can use sugar-free candies to sweeten other gifts, such as placing them in candy jars, jewelry boxes and candle holders or pairing them with gift certificates, Camel said.
Blooming Orchid Florist in Houma sells a healthy amount of its sugar-free candy-bar bouquets and sugar-less candy baskets around Valentine�s Day, said owner Angela Adams. The shop began offering sugar-free versions of its popular candy-bar bouquets about five years ago because the business had so many requests for sugar-free candy baskets, Adams said.
Though sugar-less, the candies should still be eaten in moderation, because they still can affect blood sugar when eaten in larger quantities, Dufrene said.
Showering loved ones with red snacks forms another tasty option for Valentine�s Day.
"Fruit is nature�s candy," Camel said. "There are beautiful red berries -- strawberries, raspberries, cranberries -- that can (be) served parfait-style with yogurt toppings."
Red fruit trays with low-sugar fruit dips, red salsas and dips, and garnishing dishes with red bell-pepper strips can add color to the holiday, she said.
And using red berries and sugar-free jams as a base for fruit sauces ladled over sugar-free frozen yogurts can give a festive touch, she said.
"Pomegranate juice has become quite popular and can also be used as a base for colorful sauces for savory as well as sweet food items," Camel said.
Other lower-sugar snacks that make good treats include Fruit Roll-Ups, Rice Krispies treats, popcorn, Teddy Grahams and Goldfish crackers, Robichaux said.
Those with an urge to bake can substitute a sugar-Splenda mix, available at many grocery stores, for regular sugar to create goodies with a lower impact on blood sugar, Dufrene said.
"It�s not so much that they can�t eat carbs or sugar, but not a lot," Robichaux said of diabetics.
South Louisiana folks use food to communicate love and affection, and certain foods often become family tradition.
"There�s a lot of meaning in the food that we give," Camel said.
But the same message can be sent in other ways.
"Try to think of other things your significant other may enjoy," Dufrene said.
This could be flowers, movie tickets, gift certificates, stuffed animals or day spa, manicure or pedicure visits. Pink or red items like special soaps, bath salts, balloons, scarves, gloves and slippers are a nice touch, Camel said.
"This holiday is all about pampering and showing appreciation for your loved one," Camel said. Most people would really appreciate time from their significant others, she said. "Time is the ultimate gift," she said.
Those chocolate truffles and bright bags of sweets shouldn�t be devoured all at once, but they don�t have to be feared, dietitians said.
Diabetics don�t have to completely avoid sugar but carefully regulate the amount of carbohydrates and sugars they consume, Dufrene said. This means that with planning, diabetics and others can usually fit some sweets into their celebrations without ill consequences.
Diabetics and others watching their sugar intake can enjoy sugary gifts by eating them slowly, such as eating one chocolate daily from a box of chocolates, Dufrene said. Take a moment and savor them instead of gulping them down.
"You don�t have to feel guilty about it," she said.

Never ignore the things you can't cut off. Especially when it comes to your heart, your feelings, and your thoughts. At times urges or emotions can be annoying, but trust that they're there to better you, not to irritate you.
Don't dismiss your gut feelings, allow your intelligence to support your intuition. Avoiding the truth may seem like the safe option, but it's actually the option you choose when you want to meet disappointment at a later stage. When you have that feeling you just can't ignore, listen to it. Act upon it, do it! You will just feel more alive!
It could be nothing or it could be the answer to some important unanswered questions. If you don't trust your intuition you'll never be able to feel like you are truly living, neither you will be able to learn to listen to your heart properly. Seek the truth only if you're prepared to accept what you find. When you notice yourself ignoring facts just to save a situation, you've just volunteered to get played by life.
We often regret deeper the things we haven't done than things we have done. Not knowing or missing out on the opportunity to experiment something is eventually wasted living. You should not be afraid of mistakes, because they develop you, they teach you about living and more importantly they define you. If you play on the safe field, you may just as well stagnate or at least have a dull existence which might turn against you at an older age when frustration kicks in for all the things you haven't lived because you were too occupied with sitting calmly in the comfort zone.
It's a pity to be young and keep making excuses for situations. Use the mistakes or pain for your progress, the tears for your triumph, and the struggle for your success. Live life to the fullest, on the edge: don't ignore small urges you have that are so obvious, you feel them for a reason. Don't break yourself from truly living!

While Mayors and clerks around the state are readying plans to marry same-sex couples as soon as Sunday/Monday midnight, uncertainty reigns as to whether the law allows it. So, as one half of one of the couples seeking to marry at the earliest moment possible, I'm at the courthouse in Jersey City, where my friend, Mayor Steve Fulop had just filed an Order to Show Cause and Complaint seeking a declaratory judgment that applications can be received, that the wait time can be waived, and that marriages can happen beginning October 21st, as ordered by Judge Jacobson.
Earlier this morning, at City Hall, Mayor Fulop was officiating at a (straight) wedding downstairs, while the paperwork was being prepared upstairs. If all goes well, he'll be officiating at mine, in less than 72 hours.

Tom D'Agostino Claims Luann de Lesseps Cheated First In the Marriage & Accuses Her of Popping Pills!
LuAnn de Lesseps' ex-husband is claiming that he's not the only one that cheated in the marriage and claims the countess abused pills!
Tom D'Agostino Jr. is supposedly pissed that his ex-wife recently told a crowd at one of her "Countess and Friends" cabaret show that he was unfaithful during the marriage, reports Page Six. This prompted the New York playboy to expose that the Countess was actually the first to cheat in the marriage and he followed her lead and did the same.
The couple wed on New Year's Eve 2017 and split, a few months later in August 2018.
According to the outlet, D'Agostino has been making fun of the reality star's failing sobriety, who's been in and out of rehab since the end of their marriage.
"I didn't realize I was marrying a Walgreens!," claiming that she had more pills around the house than the pharmacy chain.
On Dec. 24, de Lesseps, 53, was charged with disorderly intoxication, battery of an officer/firefighter/EMT, resisting arrest with violence and threatening a public servant, according to the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office. She has since completed two stints in rehab for alcohol addiction but the pill accusation is new to the public.
The Real Housewives of New York star told Page Six, "I wish [D'Agostino] well. I have moved on, and I hope he can do the same."
The Real Housewives of New York airs Wednesdays on Bravo, at 9:00 p.m. ET.

Although it is used by them as a short-term type of skin ornamentation Mehendi is also called henna in the western world. Mehndi is mainly found in a variety of states for various kinds of values and rites.

Also after seeing these mehndi services in several Bollywood films, people have started do more of this type of rites.

The bride-to-be and her friends that are close use mehndi on arms, their fingers as well as toes.

After qualifying for the Stanley Cup Playoffs in 2014-15, the Calgary Flames took a step back last season, when they won 10 fewer games and finished 10 points behind the Minnesota Wild for the second wild card from the Western Conference.
The dip largely was because of goaltending struggles. Karri Ramo, Jonas Hiller, Joni Ortio and Niklas Backstrom each started at least three games, and they combined to allow an NHL-high 240 non-empty net goals, 10 more than any other team. Ramo's .909 save percentage was 43rd among the 58 goalies to play at least 20 games last season but was the best among the four to play for the Flames last season.
General manager Brad Treliving addressed the goaltending during the summer, trading for Brian Elliott from the St. Louis Blues and signing unrestricted free agent Chad Johnson. Elliott had a 2.07 goals against average and .930 save percentage last season; Johnson had a 2.36 goals against average and a .920 save percentage with the Buffalo Sabres.
Other holes remain in Calgary's lineup.
Johnny Gaudreau, who led the Flames and was tied for sixth in the League with 78 points (30 goals, 48 assists) in 79 games, was a restricted free agent, but signed a six-year contract on Monday. While he fills the hole on the left side of the top line, the Flames have been unable to fill the void on the right side that was created when Jiri Hudler was traded to the Florida Panthers on Feb. 27.
It's unclear if left wing Matthew Tkachuk, the No. 6 pick in the 2016 NHL Draft, is ready to step into a full-time NHL role. Hunter Shinkaruk, 21, will aim to help Calgary's depth at forward.
Treliving signed unrestricted free agent right wing Troy Brouwer, 31, to try to bolster forward depth, and it's likely he will play on a line with second-year center Sam Bennett to start the season. Treliving also acquired right wing Alex Chiasson in a trade with the Ottawa Senators with the hope that he can rediscover the form that saw him score 13 goals in 79 games with the Dallas Stars in 2012-13.
Chiasson will get the opportunity to do so under one of his former coaches in Dallas.
The Flames hired Glen Gulutzan on June 17 to replace Bob Hartley, who was fired May 3. Prior to spending the previous three seasons as an assistant with the Vancouver Canucks, Gulutzan coached the Stars from 2011-13.

Why they should make the Stanley Cup Playoffs
Elliott stabilizes the Flames' biggest weakness from last season, and the young core of Monahan, Gaudreau and Bennett will take another step forward.
Why they could miss the Stanley Cup Playoffs
After Gaudreau, Monahan (27), and Mikael Backlund (21), the only returning Flames forward to score more than 15 goals last season was Bennett, with 18. The Flames get significant offensive contributions from their defense, but they can't afford a lack of secondary scoring.
Breakout candidate
Bennett. The No. 4 pick in the 2014 NHL Draft had 18 goals and 36 points in 77 games as a rookie last season while playing primarily at left wing. The 20-year-old is expected to play at his natural center position this season, and an emphasis has been placed on him playing alongside a veteran influence.

On the hot seat
Left wing Micheal Ferland. After he had three goals, five points and a Flames-best 50 hits in nine games during the 2015 Stanley Cup Playoffs, he had four goals and 18 points in 71 games last season.
Trophy candidates
Mark Giordano (Norris); Gaudreau (Lady Byng)
"Even if we're in the middle of the pack goaltending-wise last year then we would've made the playoffs. I'm not blaming those guys. It was a tough situation for all three guys. It just didn't work. We don't need Brian Elliott to be Superman here. We just need Brian Elliott to be a good goalie. We don't need him to steal games. We just need him to be solid and make big saves when we need it … give us a chance every game. If he does that, that's what we're looking for." -- assistant general manager Craig Conroy.

Maxim Integrated MAX16930/16931
MAX16930/16931 - 2MHz, 36V, dual buck with preboost and 20µA quiescent current
Industry's highest performance automotive dual buck controller with preboost enables a space-efficient, crank-ready design
The MAX16930/MAX16931 offer two high-voltage, synchronous step-down controllers and a step-up preboost controller. They operate with an input voltage supply from 2V to 42V with preboost active and can operate in drop-out condition by running at 95% duty cycle. The devices are intended for applications with mid- to high-power requirements that operate at a wide input voltage range such as during automotive cold-crank or engine stop-start conditions.
The MAX16930/MAX16931 step-down controllers operate 180° out-of-phase at frequencies up to 2.2MHz to allow small external components, reduced output ripple, and to guarantee no AM band interference. The switching frequency is resistor adjustable. The FSYNC input programmability enables three frequency modes for optimized performance: forced fixed-frequency operation, skip mode with ultra-low quiescent current (20µA), and synchronization to an external clock. The devices also provide a spread-spectrum option to minimize EMI interference.
The MAX16930/MAX16931 are offered with an asynchronous step-up controller. This preboost circuitry turns on during low input voltage conditions. It is designed to provide power to step-down controller channels with input voltages as low as 2V.
The devices also feature a power-OK monitor and overvoltage and undervoltage lockout. Protection features include cycle-by-cycle current limit and thermal shutdown.
The devices are available in 40-pin TQFN-EP and side-wettable QFND-EP packages and are specified for operation over the -40°C to +125°C automotive temperature range.

On Monday, 1 April, the students of Savremena visited the magnificent city of Vršac and the Hemofarm factory. Year 11 students came back richer with knowledge in Biology, Geography, History, Chemistry and Economics.
The subject teachers who travelled with the students organised many different activities for the students to participate in, and the whole field trip was as interesting as it was important for the students' academia.
Hemofarm factory
International School Savremena believes that hands-on knowledge is a valuable aspect of the learning process. That is why the school organised the visit to one of the most successful businesses in our country.
The students and teachers alike visited three departments in the Hemofarm factory – the production facility where injections are made, high rack storage and the facility for medication packaging. The most fascinating of the three was the high rack storage facility. As the only example of such a modernised facility in the Balkans, this department is a fully automatic warehouse with robots packaging pallets up to the height of 12 m.
It is extremely important for the students to be up to date with the latest trends of the modern world, which is precisely why the school enabled them to see one of the completely robotised warehouses which can be lauded as having safety measures that comply with the highest world standards. With their Economics teacher they discussed the inner workings of such a big company; for their Geography class, they had to identify the inputs and outputs at Hemofarm, and draw diagrams of the manufacturing process.
Renewable energy, plants and legends
After the visit to the factory, Savremena students went on to explore the city of Vršac and its immediate surroundings. They visited the Tower of Vršac, the salt marshes Margita and the Castle in Kapetanovo. The history of the locality proved to be rather interesting with numerous legends and myths surrounding it. The History teacher held all the students captivated as he told them about the legends of Kapetanovo and the historical sites in Vršac. Savremena's biologists explored the land of the salt marshes, taking samples for further research of the specific bacteria present in the soil. And the young Geography scholars united their strengths with the Historians to discuss the position of the Hill of Vršac from both perspectives.
Contemporary topics were not lacking here, either. The wind farms as renewable energy sources as well as oil fields were debated on, as their advantages and disadvantages were explored. And for a truly different Savremena flair, the technology used in the classroom was taken outside of the school as well. The salt marshes were an excellent environment for the students to use the Plant Snap app to identify the plant and research its adaptation to the climate.
Many visits to come
In the true spirit of International School Savremena, this field trip was both educational and intriguing. We are looking forward to many diverse activities in the school in the days to come.

FAITH, God, Life journey, Love, Spiritual life, Walking the walk
..Who is the most important person in your life? And what would a day in your life be without them?…This is the daily wordpress dp challenge topic..Not often that I do these at all..But I can't resist the opportunity to challenge myself by participating this time. It wasn't difficult to choose the person who is the most important in my world/my life/my life journey; though there were MANY runnerUPs..Will let my thoughts flow later as I continue to make my lifelong carbon imprint; in hopes that my sons/future grandchildren/and anyone else who can benefit from my life experiences is touched in a positive way by my words. Some reading this might say, hmmmm, but GOD isn't a person , and thus doesn't "fit" the criteria. And they'd be absolutely correct GOD isn't a person; my GOD is far bigger than that. HE so aptly fits the criteria for this question..that I've never, ever been more certain of anything else in my entire life. What would a day without him in my life be like? I would be *dead* physically , spiritually & mentally; and here are a few of the reasons why…Ya'll ready for this? Well , ready or not here are the reasons so buckle UP and hold onto your hats/wigs>
#1….7 years ago my doctor told me I was a walking stroke waiting to happen. Point blank. My blood pressure was SO high they wouldn't release me out of the emergency room until it had lowered; a full day later. No one in the ER could believe I'd walked in & that I was only having headaches & not migraines. To this day I've NEVER taken a prescription med nor have I been hospitalized since then. I worked hard to maintain my stress level, I exercise daily, I drink raw veggies, and I thank God for having a hand in it so I didn't stroke out. For the past 6 yrs my blood pressure has been above normal ..My GOD is mighty and he is good ALL the time
#2….21 yrs ago I was in a car crash SO bad, and I was driving, that I was ejected from the car. Through the passenger window…I was knocked unconscious immediately and don't recall any of it. I had no head trauma, no injuries; except for a bad lesion on my left shoulder. All I have left to show for it is a keloid scar; which I refused to have covered with a skin graft. I want to be reminded of my own dumb actions …but more importantly how much GOD loved me enough to give me another chance to live on this Earth. My GOD is mighty and he is good ALL the time
#3….After a divorce 17 yrs ago from the love of my life; I'd invested so much of myself into the marriage/relationship..I didn't know who I was when it was over. It was supposed to be the end-all love relationship for me…quite literally I didn't know how I could bear living without him. Or better yet living without being his wife. I was emotionally *spent & broken*..But now years later? He's one of my dearest friends & was an outstanding co-parent over the years. It took me what seemed like forever; but I forgave/worked on mending my severely broken heart/and am thankful for the experience of being a very good wife in an excellent marriage…those experiences will help me seal the deal forever with my next & LAST husband! My GOD is mighty and he is GOOD all the time
#4….17 months ago I was a victim of the recession hitting & drying UP career fields in the housing industry on the West Coast. What had once been a gold mine just poof! dried up like the cactus there..I had NO clue what I was going to do for my next job/my youngest son headed out of state to college/my love relationship wasn't moving closer to the marriage that I yearned for. Well, wasn't moving fast enough for me lol! I was at a cross-roads and a decision had to be made. I made one of the biggest , hardest! decisions of my life ; moved cross country with my folks. Which I had never, ever done before…Left a place I loved dearly, and still do…yet, I've never looked back since. I've got a JOB I love(yep, I know ya'll are sick of hearing me say that but oh well….) , am surrounded by love, and have met such awesome, and good people that have supported me/my ventures since day 1 of my arrival. Instant extended family of friends that welcomed me with open arms…for I was like a fish out of water at first. WithOUT the hand of GOD in it I'd certainly have fallen into a deep funk or depression…instead? I can't count on one hand the days I've been blue. Real talk. My laughter is multiplied by more laughs; probably more than I've ever laughed in my entire life. Life is pretty dang good and I've got a schedule SO busy..I'm often wishing I had more hours in a day..My GOD is mighty and he is GOOD all the time
>>GOD patiently waited for me to believe in him 100% for 47.5 years..and that is a very, long time. He has taught me to have patience, patience, and jeeeeez more patience..as I wait for the very last piece that will make my world complete. Until then though? I'm complete. I'm completely happy. And I'm completely sure that I don't ever want to live , not 1 day, without GOD in my life. Until I write/read ya'll again stay UPlifted & blessed. 4ever sincere, Berna(the 1 & only)

Moesha Boduong and many other actresses who have been described as Ashawobrities have confirmed that they are indeed ashawo girls who only reveal sensitive parts of their bodies for money.
Princess Shyngle who sleeps with married men and sees to it that their marriage hits rocks, as usual, is part of a beach party that is yet to take place in Dubai.
In a flyer that is circulating on social media, the two Ashawobrities were seen on it with their nipples freely piercing through their clothes.
Moesha Boduong revealed in an interview on CNN some months ago that Ghana's Economy is in shambles which has forced many young girls including herself to sleep with married men for money.

Since that interview, she has always been seen dressing in a particular way that exposes sensitive parts of her body all because she wants to get more 'clients'.

It's unclear if the attack was pre-meditated for headline purposes.
The Cantu family probably should have thought about bee attacks before moving to Beeville, in Bee County, Texas, but then that's the sort of cavalier, devil-may-care attitude you'd expect from people who choose to live in such ominously named areas.
Richard Cantu was clearing brush from his tractor when the bees attacked, stinging him, his son and his grandson. 15 firefighters and nine police officers had to be called to calm the situation.
Speaking to KiiiTV, Beeville Police Sergeant Greg Baron claimed it was 'the largest bee swarm I have ever seen', which is really saying something.
Top tip: Never visit Beeville.

Academic experience
I studied for two semesters at the University of Waterloo. I took five courses per semester, although I found the workload to be lighter than four courses per semester at UQ. This left plenty of time for weekend and mid-semester trips away. I also got to study one 'free' elective per semester – I chose 'Ecological Economics' and 'Water: Environmental History & Change'.
The style of teaching at Waterloo is much less hands-on than at UQ; most of my classes were one-hour-long lectures with little time dedicated to solving tutorial problems. This made it more difficult to learn at Waterloo than at UQ. However, having spare time to travel on weekends and mid-semester breaks was good compensation.
Finding equivalents for my compulsory UQ chemical engineering subjects wasn't as difficult as I anticipated, although when I arrived at Waterloo I found I had quite a few timetable clashes. Because of this I ended up studying completely different subjects to those I had preapproved. These changes were easy to communicate to UQ and I was still awarded full credit towards my engineering degree.
Personal experience
My exchange was the best experience of my life! I made many new friends from all over the world, travelled to loads of new and interesting places, and gained Canadian perspectives on issues like climate change and the refugee crisis – all within the space of nine months.
Also within these nine months I experienced all four seasons. When I arrived in Canada in August, the weather was hot and the days were really long. Falls colours began appearing in the trees by November, and by December all the trees had lost their leaves and the snow had set in.
The winter months were brutally cold (-40°C is a real thing!) and on two occasions all the universities and schools in Waterloo were closed due to ice storms. Winter seemed to hang around for ages - the biggest snow storm of the season occurred in early April! Rest assured that by May, everybody's favourite blue skies and 10pm sunsets had returned.
For both my semesters at Waterloo I rented a room in a four-bedroom apartment at WCRI. WCRI is located directly across the road from the Waterloo engineering precinct – perfect for 8:30 am classes on snowy winter's days. WCRI also hosts events during the semester (e.g. pub crawls, Thanksgiving, Halloween and Christmas parties, and trivia nights), which are great opportunities to meet new people.
WCRI was where most exchange students opted to stay due to its location and cheap rates. Although bear in mind you do get what you pay for. My apartment was small, basic and dated, and my flatmates and neighbours were all rather anti-social. If I were to do my exchange over I would spend the extra money and rent a more modern apartment, even if it were located further away from campus.
Late in my exchange I discovered several Facebook groups dedicated to renting/subletting apartments, in particular, 'Student Housing in Waterloo' and 'UW/WLU 4 Month Subletting'. I definitely recommend sourcing accommodation from these groups as rent is relatively cheap (especially close to the beginning of semester) and leases are usually only for four months.
Living and studying in Canada is cheaper than in Brisbane. I paid $450 per month for accommodation (inclusive of utilities and internet), although some 'last-minute' accommodation went for as little as $350 per month. Furthermore, there are some great weekend farmers' markets around Waterloo where you can pick up cheap groceries, and public buses and the university gym are free for students!
I also found travelling to be quite cheap. For instance, if you book far enough in advance 'Mega Bus' sometimes offers $1 tickets to Montreal and New York! And I always stayed at hostels – they're cheap, often offer free breakfasts and organised group activities, and are great places to meet new people.
All up, I probably spent close to $8,000 AUD per semester (on accommodation, phone and internet, groceries and travel). You could spend much more or less than this depending on how much travelling you do.
Professional development and employability
My exchange markedly improved my self-confidence, adaptability and resilience, and I also learned a lot from my exchange friends about their home countries - like that that Germans celebrate Christmas on December 24, and that there is only one stop sign in the whole of Paris!
Also because of my exchange, I have clearer idea of the type of career I want to pursue. I definitely want to pursue living and working overseas, and I now have a strong interest in economics and the environment which evolved because of my two 'free' electives.
The highlight of my exchange was the time I spent travelling after my studies wrapped up. First I travelled to Halifax on the east coast, then I caught a train across Canada to Vancouver on the west coast. From Vancouver I travelled to Vancouver Island (my favourite destination), Whistler, Banff and Jasper.
The Canadian east and west coasts are remarkably different; it's hard to believe they're part of the same country. The east coast is littered with lakes and forests, and the cities have a distinct French influence. On the other hand, the west coast is dominated by The Rockies. I highly recommend seeing both coasts if time and money permit.
I did all this travelling by myself, although I was rarely ever 'by myself'. I made many life-long friends in all the places I stayed, and by befriending locals I was quickly able to gauge which sights were/weren't worth seeing.
Top tips
All in all, four tips I have for others considering exchange to Canada:
- Source accommodation from buy/sell Facebook groups;
- Don't buy any winter clothes in Australia - everything you need and more is available in Waterloo for very affordable prices;
- Don't be afraid to travel alone; and
- Have more than a full time load's worth of subjects preapproved in case of timetable conflicts.

Arsenal 's Alex Iwobi attended with girlfriend Clarisse Juliette as his team prepare to take on Manchester City at the Emirates on Sunday.
Premier League winner Riyad Mahrez brought his wife Rita Johal along to test the ride out, although it probably won't come close to the roller-coaster side Leicester had in winning the title last season.
