If the Global Poker Index (GPI) had an award for Resurrection of the Year, Elio Fox would have made the nomination list. In 2011, Fox earned $2,669,311 playing live tournaments, including winning the World Series of Poker Europe (WSOPE) Main Event in Cannes for €1.4m.
Then nothing.
I doubt Fox became a tree surgeon, dedicating his time to saving the dying elm from the microfungus dispersed by bark beetles. There were games. Fox was in them, winning, but they weren't live multi-table tournaments (MTTs).
Then last year, Fox returned from his deep freeze after a stunning showing at the World Series of Poker (WSOP) saw him win a bracelet in the $10,000 No-Limit Hold'em Super Turbo Bounty, and then finish runner-up to Nick Petrangelo in the $100,000 No-Limit Hold'em High Roller for $1,798,658.
Fox allowed the tugboats to pull him through the high stakes water for a full year, earning $4,277,915, his best-ever haul, and with it, five tournament wins, including a victory in the $50,000, $1m GTD No-Limit Hold'em Super High Roller at the World Poker Tour (WPT) Seminole Hard Rock Poker Showdown in Florida.
He's just defended that title.
Fox defeated a field of 20-entrants to capture the $440,000 first prize and then finished 5/182 in a $2,200 No-Limit Hold'em event at the same series. With the WSOP in tripod range, is Fox getting ready to leave his burrow once more?
$50,000 ITM Results
- Elio Fox – $440,000
- Sam Soverel – $260,000
- Alex Foxen – $180,000
- Ali Imsirovic – $120,000
Fox was in esteemed company. Sam Soverel is the reigning Poker Central High Stakes Player of the Year, Alex Foxen is the current Global Poker Index (GPI) World #1, and then you have Ali Imsirovic.
Imsirovic was one of the stars of 2018, and the poker community recognised him as such in awarding him the Breakout Player of the Year at the Global Poker Awards (GPA) in Las Vegas a fortnight ago. Imsirovic has started 2019 brightly by winning a $10,000 No-Limit Hold'em High Roller at the Bellagio, beating 21-entrants to claim the $105,000 first prize.
$10,000 ITM Results
- Ali Imsirovic – $105,000
- Kristen Bicknell – $63,000
- Seth Davies – $42,000
There were two $10,000 events on the schedule, and Davies won the other one.
$10,000 ITM Results
- Seth Davies – $105,800
- Aram Zobian – $64,400
- Rodger Johnson – $36,800
- Alex Foxen – $23,000
When the GPA Jury pondered the Breakout Player of the Year award, it couldn't have been a massacre with Michael Soyza also in the shortlist. The Malaysian star didn't allow the snub to affect his performance on the felt, after winning the KRW 10,000,000 No-Limit Hold'em Super High Roller at the Asia Pacific Poker Tour (APPT) in Paradise City, Incheon, South Korea.
Soyza conquered a field of 65-entrants to win the $157,164 first prize and tweeted: "Ran like God, shipped a tournament. May the heater never end."
It's a sweet spot for Soyza after winning the KRW 1,800,000 buy-in Main Event at the same APPT last year for $148,628.
APPT Super High Roller ITM Finishes
- Michael Soyza – $157,164
- Jiang Chen – $112,834
- Huahuan Feng – $73,341
- Irshat Shaykhov – $55,342
- Wayne Heung – $42,983
- Yake Wu – $33,315
- Wai Chan – $26,330
- Jun Obara – $20,418
- Hideki Izutsu – $15,582
Sticking with the Asia-Pacific region and Michael 'The Grinder' Mizrachi is becoming a frequent feature down under. In 2018, the 3-time WSOP Poker Player's Championship winner joined forces with the former WSOP Main Event Champion, Joe Hachem, to add some spice to the Australian Poker Tour (APT), and this year he returns May 23 – 26 to compete in the APT Sydney series.
Finally, partypoker is the Official Live Tour Partner of the Triton Poker Series, and the first event where these two titans will join forces is Triton Poker Series Montenegro – a massive ten-day festival of poker featuring two €110,000 buy-in Main Events in both No-Limit and Short-Deck formats.
High Stakes Insights: Negreanu's Diet; Smith's Love for Chess; Hellmuth's Business Deals & Fedor Flabbergasted
Most of us drop the fishing line and come up with a tiddler or two. These guys and gals have an uncanny knack of pulling in more whales than the nasty lot that were caught on hidden cameras filming The Cove.
How do they do it?
When you and I are squeezing blackheads, what are the princes and princesses of poker up to?
The last time we caught up with Dan Smith, he was snowboarding in Japan before spending time in Jeju at the Triton Poker Series. Today, you can find him in Rejkavik, Iceland, where he is competing in the Rejkjavík Open chess competition, an event that predates the WSOP (it began in 1964).
Phil Hellmuth Jr's brief alliance with partypoker is on the back burner after his first visit to South America where he appeared in the MILLIONS South America event, and that's given him time to delve into his business dealings. This week the 15-time WSOP bracelet winner joined the advisory boards of Lasso Compression Socks and a gaming company called Shake It Up Dice.
Fans of Fedor Holz got a treat this week when the German star appeared as a guest on Jonathan Little's Primed Mind spot to answer a series of questions about poker and life. Check it out.
And Holz also got the opportunity to turn into a fanboy after posing for a picture with his idol, the Paris Saint-German (PSG) coach, Thomas Tuchel.
Finally, what do vegans eat when they get to poker's top table?
Not a lot.
Here's Daniel Negreanu's diet for the week.
High Stakes Battles: Negreanu v Chip Race; Johnnie Vibes v The World
In between eating, 'big hearty salads', and drinking 'magic mushroom lattes,' Negreanu found the time to get involved in two high profiles spats last week.
The first occurred during the GPA a fortnight ago and rolled into this week when allegations emerged that Negreanu said "Ewww" when the Chip Race won the Podcast of the Year award.
There is no love lost between The Chip Race founders Dara O'Kearney and Dave Lappin and the PokerStars Ambassador, and their feud recently came to boiling point after the Irishmen lambasted Kid Poker for his comments on what type of players are good and bad for poker.
Well, it seems this one is never going to end after allegations surfaced that Negreanu hinted that there might have been some subterfuge within the GPA Jury that may have helped the Chip Race get over the finishing line.
Of course, this resulted in an angry exchange on Twitter between Lappin and Negreanu (I believe Negreanu blocked O'Kearney during the last battle), where Negreanu declared that he didn't like Lappin, thought he was a sanctimonious wanker, and even went as far as to call him a liar, liar, pants on fire!
Lappin responded in print, penning a blog post called 'Who is The Real Troll?' critiquing Negreanu for bashing a show he has never listened to (http://rocshot.com/lappin/269-who-is-the-real-troll/), and Negreanu reacted by posting a soundbite of the DAT Podcast episode defending himself against the allegations that he suggested the award was rigged.
"I am pretty sure what happened with this one – and I don't want to 'reveal' because I have an inside source – I don't think the panel listens to all the podcasts, and some voices may have been louder than others and convinced others to vote," said Negreanu.
The second time Negreanu surfaces this week is in the role of protector after Doug Polk and Shaun Deeb publicly shamed GPA Poker Personality of the Year nominee Johnnie "JohnnieVibes" Moreno for selling a WSOP package to his fans at 1.38 markup despite only winning $66,844 in live tournament earnings.
Deeb began the fight by telling Moreno that in selling a package for almost 1.4 markup means 'you're scamming people,' and Polk added a dose of sarcasm by pointing out his $66,844 in Hendon Mob cashes stating, "Not cool Deeb, Johnnie is an excellent tournament player (He talks about it in his vlog all the time). If he wants to sell at 1.38 on 43k worth of buyins, investors are getting a deal!"
As the debate raged on with most of the voices seemingly siding with Deeb and Polk, Negreanu ran to his aid pointing out that it's 'IMPOSSIBLE to get a totally accurate ROI for any tournament. You can ballpark, but no one knows. It's not scamming at all IMO."
You can have your say by following Negreanu's involvement from this point onwards. (https://twitter.com/RealKidPoker/status/1116771239572332544)
Tweet of the Week
And that leads us nicely to the Tweet of the Week.
We considered Sorel Mizzi's recent fascination with the duck on duck violence that is plaguing our planet (think twice before letting your kids throw bread to them unless you want to explain duck rape to a two-year-old).Another day another duck fight. #SunsetPark pic.twitter.com/r3zUQ3mTJf— Sorel Mizzi (@sorelmizzi) April 9, 2019
We also thought long and hard about giving the award to Bill Perkins for his thoughts on shorting the sperm bank to egg bank spread, and his subsequent reversal of thought after seeing this dandy little machine.
But in the end, the award went to Chris Kruk for the sheer passion that led to this War & Peace take on the Johnnie Vibes affair.

At least 25 dead after Myanmar land dispute: MP
At least 25 people died when a land dispute in Myanmar turned violent this week, a regional MP said Friday, as details were still emerging days after the brawl.
It is unclear what sparked the July 23 clash in central Magway region and whether all the deaths were from fighting or the sinking of a boat full of people fleeing the violence.
But Magway region lawmaker Tint Lwin said 25 bodies had been found and 13 people were still missing, adding that authorities had been hauling corpses out of the Irrawaddy River for the last two days.
"There was a serious fight," he told AFP. "I've never had this kind of experience before."
Hundreds of villagers were involved in the clashes but no one has been arrested yet as authorities carry out post mortems and try to determine what happened, he said.
The central region is about 12 hours north of the commercial capital Yangon.
State-backed Global New Light of Myanmar said a boat capsized as villagers along the river tried to leave, while survivors told local media outlets they were attacked with stones and knives.
Land ownership is extremely sensitive in Myanmar where huge swathes of the population work in agriculture.
Many villagers lack documents proving ownership despite having worked on their farms for generations.
The junta that ruled the country for almost 50 years until a democratic transition in 2011 has also been accused of rampant land grabbing.
Critics say civilian leader Aung San Suu Kyi's government has struggled to address simmering land disputes despite promises by her party the National League for Democracy.

Review for Nil
Review for Nil
On the island of Nil, the rules are set. You have exactly 365 days to escape—or you die. Rives is now the undisputed Leader of Nil City, but keeping the City united is tougher than ever. Raiders have grown bolder, supplies are dwindling, and non-human inhabitants have taken a turn toward the deadly. New arrivals cause rifts within the City, putting the Search system at risk, and calling everything Rives knows into question. Desperate for answers, he teams up with the only other person searching for them: Skye, a new arrival with a mysterious past of her own. Soon the duo find themselves locked in a desperate race to save all the residents of Nil—and possibly destroy the island forever. But at what cost? And who will pay the price?
The characters in this book are very interesting. We have Rives, who we saw in Nil, and Skye. Skye is kind of like a Nil expert, except she hasn't had the first hand experience. I loved Skye, she was so prepared and ready to take action if necessary. In this book we also get to know a lot more about Rives. More about his past and personality. I really enjoyed reading from both Rives and Skye's point of view because it gave me a taste of two different personalities. Rives: the leader and Nil explorer and Skye: the person who knew all the Nil facts. It was also so cool to see Skye recognize things from her uncle's journals to things on Nil. Other characters, like Jason, Jillian, and Sy, were so great to read about again and it just brought back so much nostalgia! ;) The new characters were also a great addition.
I loved this plot. I loved how the more I read, the more I was learning about Nil. I love how there is more to Nil that meets the eye and learning that information kept me reading. I just loved everything about this plot; the way it was set up to discover facts about Nil was so great to read about! There was a lot less action than Nil but it was all good because of how much we were learning about Nil and the history behind it. Then the ending, oh the ending was just glorious! So much action and suspense then everyone was happy and it just set up a great base for book three, which I am dying to read!
I gave this book 5 stars because I just loved everything about it.
Just a thought: Ahhh Rives and Skye were just so cuteeee. I have to admit though, I really miss Talla. It's okay though, Skye is just as great. :))
Paulo and Maaka are two very interesting people. They were the people who knew the most about Nil and they took Nil as something different that people like Rives or Jillian. What annoyed me was how unwilling Maaka was to help Rives. Like, dude it's not their fault they're stuck in this hellhole. Could you at least have helped them figure out Nil and get their butts off this human trap?

Health authorities in Canada and Switzerland have lifted their bans on the sale of Novartis flu vaccines.
Both countries had previously issued a precautionary halt on the distribution of Agrippal and Fluad after white particles were discovered in certain batches of the product in Italy, but independent testing by each country has deemed the products safe for use.
Health Canada, the medicines regulator for Canada, said that as a result of its own testing, as well as further information provided by European health authorities and Novartis, both vaccines would now be available for immediate use.
"None of the information reviewed indicated a safety issue," said the body in a statement.
The Public Health Agency of Canada has now advised doctors they can use both Fluad and Agrippal, which is known as Agriflu in Canada, although all products should be shaken and checked for white floating material before being injected.
It was a similar story in Switzerland, which was one of the first countries to declare a ban on the vaccines.
The country's drug regulator Swissmedic said that Novartis had provided it with extra information that allowed them to conclude the white particles in the vaccines were not external impurities, but were in fact protein clumps of the vaccine.
In addition, a separate analysis by Swissmedic itself also confirmed the safety of the vaccines.
"Those who choose to be vaccinated have no fear of side effects other than those already known," said the regulator.
Novartis welcomed both decisions, and said further analysis had reaffirmed the safety of both products, claiming that one million doses had been administered so far during the 2012-2013 flu season, and no unexpected adverse events had been reported.
"We have remained confident in the safety and efficacy of our vaccines; now we are focused on resuming distributions as soon as possible to protect against seasonal influenza," said Andrin Oswald, head of Novartis Vaccines and Diagnostics.
Other countries where ban on either or both Agrippal and Fluad remains in place include Spain, France, Germany, the UK and Italy.

If so- there is probably a good chance you are imbibing on some delish reds these days, and prancing around like what one of my girlfriends calls "Captain Grape Tooth".
There is a very easy solution to this – be prepared! GoSmile has a great little trick for this with its Flashlites product. They are mini handy-dandy whitening "ampoules" (FANCE) that whiten up your teeth and freshen you up in a jiffer.
They are tiny and discrete enough to keep in the smallest of purses. They will run you about $10 a pack. You can get them at a number of places such as Sephora and Amazon ( click here to get them at Amazon); if you buy a four pack you get one free at GoSmile. Click here to visit GoSmile.com.
Not all Captain Grape Tooths are on this type of budget, so for a drugstore quick fix, try Colgate Wisps. These are small enough to tote around. I keep a few at my desk JIC (just in case). You can find these at any major drug store / discount retailer.

FLOOD alerts are still in force along the River Severn through Worcester as more rainfall is expected over the next couple of days.
The Environment Agency is reporting that locations in the city that may be affected include South Quay, Diglis Parade and the Hylton Road towpath.
Flooding from drains may also be affecting the racecourse and the Worcestershire county cricket ground at New Road.
Outside the city, the flooding is likely to affect Holt Fleet, Kempsey, Severn Stoke and Upton upon Severn.
River levels have risen at the Kempsey Yacht Club river gauge as a result of heavy rainfall.
Flooding is also affecting low-lying land and roads near the river from Highley to Tewkesbury.
Worcester's river gauge peaked on Monday at 3.64 metres. The same day, Diglis peaked at 3.4 metres and Kempsey Yacht Club peaked at 5.67 metres.
The gauge at Saxon's Lode, near Upton, peaked at 4.33m overnight between Monday and Tuesday.
An Environment Agency spokesman said: "Forecast rainfall may cause river levels to rise again.
"We expect river levels to remain high for the next few days.
"We are closely monitoring the situation. Our incident response staff are checking defences
"Please avoid using low-lying footpaths near local watercourses."
The Met Office is forecasting that today (Wednesday), the weather in the West Midlands will be looking mainly dry with sunny spells but with some showers possible in the north. The winds will ease considerably, which may make it feel slightly less cold.
On Thursday, heavy rain will push in from the south, but on Friday only scattered showers remain.
Dave Throup of the environment Agency said: "Well above average rain amounts for the last 6-12 months across the whole of the Midlands have left ground saturated and rivers full.
"This is why our local rivers are responding so fast to modest amounts of rainfall."

Fire Marshal: Spray paint fumes ignited, causing mansion fire in The Woodlands
The fire that destroyed a mansion in The Woodlands on June 13 was caused by a "build up of flammable vapors," which were somehow ignited, leading to two workers being injured and the home reduced to rubble.
Montgomery County Fire Marshall Jimmy Williams wrote in a release that investigators still do not know what sparked the fumes and caused the blaze. They are continuing the investigation into the ignition source, he said.
"(Monday) a team of investigators also returned to last week's multiple alarm fire on Palmer Crest Drive in which two workers were injured. Investigators continued searching through the debris and were able to determine that this fire resulted from a build-up of flammable paint vapors on the first floor," Williams said in the release. "While the workers were spray painting the interior, the flammable vapors built up and then were ignited, causing a flash fire which quickly engulfed the home. Investigators are still working to determine which of the ignition sources present in the home most likely sparked the fire. Both workers are still recovering from their burn injuries."
RELATED: 2 injured as massive mansion in The Woodlands is destroyed in fire
The fire at 46 Palmer Crest, in the Village of Cochran's Crossing, was first reported at about 5:30 p.m., June 13, resulting in more than 50 firefighters from three different agencies, including The Woodlands Fire Department, to respond to the gated community that sits adjacent to The Woodlands County Club Palmer golf course.
Firefighters were assisted on the scene by medical personnel and law enforcement officials, who helped with treatment for the two workers burned in the incident as well as traffic control. A large crowd of onlookers swarmed to the golf course area behind the home and watched firefighters in action for several hours. Hot spots from the fire continued to be extinguished throughout the night, according to fire officials, and the structure was too unstable on June 14 for investigators to enter.
The nearly 7,400 square foot home featured its own tennis court, a swimming pool and 5 1/2 bathrooms on a more than 1.2 acre plot of land. The home was undergoing renovations at the time of the incident, officials said, with two workers inside the structure painting when the fire erupted. Both men, who were not identified, suffered burns to their bodies and were transported eventually to the Texas Medical Center for treatment.

Williams said on Friday, June 14, that the family's three pets — two cats and a dog — were missing. There is no update on the status of the lost pets.

Oklahoma City, Okla. - Donors lined up at the Cox Convention Center to give blood at the sixth annual Thunder blood drive.
700 people made appointments to donate, nearly 1,000 are expected to show up by the end of the drive.
Donors came from all walks of life with one goal in common, to save lives.
The Thunder girls made an appearance bringing their Thunder spirit with them.
With a shortage in blood in past weeks, the Oklahoma Blood Institute says they are restocked on blood.
However, there are many recipients in need and every donation helps.
Two parents, the Hannemens depend on donors bi-monthly, their son Bennett has a rare disease called Pearson's disease; its effects, full blown bone marrow failure.
The family spent the day at the blood drive not donating but thanking donors for saving their sons life and the lives of other like him.
Bennett's mother explains how beneficial the work that OBI is.
"because of obi because of donors because of staff because volunteers were gonna be able to have the opportunity to give him life, one more time, one more time, and sometimes it feels a little selfish to have to ask one more time but thankfully we don't always have to ask its just there."

looking for anyone that has has or have used the new daymaker adapters. Looking for some discussion on whether I should look at frame bindings or get some normal bindings with the day makers. The thing i am not liking with frame bindings is how high it lifts you off your skis and the dead spot it creates.
Any input would be great, thanks!

File Format and Location
The kart.xml file is a simple xml file wich have to exist in each kart's folder. Here is the file of beagle:

- random-wheel-rot: This boolean value put the wheels in a random rotation at each race start. This can be useful avoiding to see a repetition in a strong texture of wheels in the same rotation (example: "true").
- shadow-scale: As the shadow image can be difficult to set correctly for the kart, this value scale it (example: "1.0").
File:Kart xml shadow scale.png
- shadow-x-offset: Offset the shadow image in the X value. Positive value slide the shadow to the right (example: "0.12").
File:Kart xml shadow xOffset.png
- shadow-y-offset: Offset the shadow image in the Y value. Positive value slide the shadow to the top of the kart (example: "0.35").
File:Kart xml shadow yOffset.png
- sounds
- engine: The kind of engine sound the kart make: "large" or "small" ("small" by default). Note that in the future there wil hopefully be more options to tweak the sound.
- animations
Here are the frame numbers, in the "model-file", of each animation:
left <-- straight --> right // The animation between directions // Frame range between "right" and "start-winning" is not used start-winning -> start-winning-loop -> end-winning // First the "start-winning" animation is played then "start-winning-loop" is played in loop and "end-winning" is finally played. // It's the same for "losing".
File:Kart xml animation plan.png Note: "-loop" version are not necessary.
- wheels
- rear-right, front-left, rear-left, front-right
- position: The position, in the "model-file" space of each wheels (example: "0.392944 0.184659 -0.353249").
- model: The model file of the current wheel (example: "wheel-rear-right.b3d").
- rear-right, front-left, rear-left, front-right
Tweaking Physics Parameter
Karts can belong to a certain properties group, where we currently have 3 specific types: light, medium or heavy. those can be set in the kart.xml, as seen below. This will load in the kart-specific settings as defined in the data/stk_config.xml file. There you have a <kart-type> tag in the <general-kart-defaults> tag, with in it the <light> tag, and so on. Additional section can be added to the kart.xml files in which kart-specific physics and gameplay parameters can be specified. All sections from the STK config file data/stk_config.xml which are in the <general-kart-defaults> tags can be just copied into the kart.xml file and modified. This way you can make a kart heavier, make it easier to use slip stream etc. A simple example:
<?xml version="1.0"?> <kart name = "Mozilla" version = "2" model-file = "mozilla.b3d" type = "light" icon-file = "mozillaicon.png" minimap-icon-file = "mozillaicon.png" shadow-file = "mozillashadow.png" groups = "standard" rgb = "0.7 0 0" > ... <mass value="300"/> <nitro consumption="2" max-speed-increase="3"/> ... </kart>
This makes the mozilla kart heavier (default 225), and it will use up nitro quicker, and get less benefit from it. The stk_config.xml file is well documented, so feel free to tweak the kart. Note that kart-specific physics are part of the GSoC topics 2014 and will hopefully be integrated in the 0.8.3 release (see Talk:Milestones). If you do any tweaking of the physics parameters before 0.8.3 it might be necessary to redo this work after 0.8.3 (but hopefully it won't be that much work).

Organisations often focus on the interior of their premises to promote wellbeing and productivity, but what about the outside spaces? Dave Howell reports.
Organisations have known for some time that the provision of a stimulating working environment has many advantages, not least of which is improved productivity. Research has consistently concluded that bringing the natural world into an office space can have a measurable positive impact. Indeed, according to the report Biophilic Design in the Workplace from Human Spaces, 67% of respondents to their survey feel happy and positive when their interiors are accented with natural colours.
While urbanisation has continued, green spaces have continued to be squeezed as developers look to maximise their estates. Focusing on interior office spaces has been the norm for several years, but begs the question whether the provision of outside spaces would reinforce the great work that organisations have been carrying out to enhance the quality of employees' interior work spaces.
The power of the natural environment
Businesses do understand how powerful the natural environment can be. The "Green Team" at Google and the efforts made by Apple at its current campus and its new headquarters, which are to be built around an outside space, point to tangible efforts taking place that all managers could learn from. Organisations in the health sector are aware of the importance that green outside spaces can have on the wellbeing of patients. These initiatives can also be applied to other business sectors with equal success.
In the Human Spaces report, Professor Sir Cary Cooper says: "In the workplace, we are concerned with biophilic design in relation to employee outcomes, specifically in the areas of wellbeing, productivity and creativity. Our cross-country findings show that natural elements in the workplace are determinants of these three aspects. The research has shown that overall, those with natural elements present in their workspace report higher levels of creativity, motivation and wellbeing."
The decline in the provision of green urban spaces has been slowing over recent years. However, organisations and facilities managers are in a unique position in that they can actively develop their own outside spaces to influence their workforces. Taking a more proactive view of these spaces is now well documented, with research that points to key commercial benefits that can be obtained by businesses that take practical steps.
"To secure more funds and resources, property and facilities managers need to be able to persuade their clients that the outside space has much more to offer than just kerb appeal," commented Adam Ralph, Landscape Director, GRITIT GM. "Property managers need to put forward proposals that highlight the benefits a dynamic green space can bring to health and wellbeing, as well as the ecological improvements that can be achieved, such as increased biodiversity, improved air flow, reduced heat island effect and reduced flood risk through grey water harvesting and management."
Joe Boyce, Head of Landscape at Maber Architects, stated: "Consultation with your employees is really important and should form the basis of a good design brief that you can provide to your landscape architect. A good understanding of how the space might function and an indication of your budget will inform the design response. Remember to keep it simple. Identify where there is scope for employees to get involved and invest their energy, create time to work and maintain the space. 'Friends of' groups are a great resource of enthusiasm and will make the outside space special."
Biophilic design
Cerys Jones, Client Relationship Director, OCS, was asked whether green outside spaces are now essential to maintain high levels of wellbeing and productivity at work.
She says that the newest members of the workforce are the millennials, "who have a very different agenda from their colleagues before. Millennials crave interaction. Face-to-face encounters are a way of life for millennials. They seek employers who will provide them with the environment in which they can shine. Whoever can provide them with the best work/life balance will win the prize in this ultimate talent contest".
Cerys also warned organisations: "Outdoor workspaces have their drawbacks, the weather being one of them, not to mention the sunny glare on a worker's tablet or tweeting birds singing along during a conference call. However, outdoor settings are conducive to stress-relief. It is not too difficult, therefore, to consider outdoor office spaces as conducive to productivity and creativity, providing the sense of wellbeing and balance that our workers of today desire so badly."
Creating an outside space
What is your main advice to organisations that want to create an outside space for their employees?
"When any change is proposed within a workplace environment, it is essential to first understand the different types of worker profiles, behaviours and requirements. By engaging with the business, managers will recognise the positive impact outdoor space can have on their teams and be able to work with designers to shape spaces that support the way they operate.
"Space available to create outdoor workplaces will often be limited, especially when it is retrospectively applied to an existing location. Organisations such as GlaxoSmithKline (GSK), however, have successfully managed to integrate their internal and external spaces. At its campus in Hertfordshire, you are able to look on to a constant stream of workers happily navigating between outdoor pods used for small meetings to large courtyards equipped with outdoor whiteboards and other props to support large gatherings, impromptu meetings and networking among colleagues."
Planning an outside space
Are there pitfalls to watch out for when creating outside spaces for employees to use?
"As you would apply planning principles to any indoor space, the same should apply to new outdoor spaces. If creating areas for employees to meet and work, consider the functions they will undertake, look at meeting sizes, frequencies and work patterns. We have seen a rise in modular meeting spaces and pods in recent years — the same could be applied to your outdoor space. If so, plan and communicate in advance how these will be booked and policed.
"Make sure all areas are multipurpose and that furniture is flexible, ensuring that there is adequate shelter — not only as protection from wind and rain but because devices often become unusable in bright light.
"And also make sure all spaces are supported with equipment and technology is enabled. There is a great range of outdoor work tools, ranging from comfy all year round bean bags to outdoor whiteboards and even plasmas. You will also need to make sure you have the relevant power provide. This does not need to be outdoors but conveniently placed charging towers for flexible workers are a must."
Managing an outside space
How will organisations have to manage outside green spaces across their premises?
"They should treat their outdoor spaces with equal importance to their internal space. Not only is this one of the first things their customers will see when approaching a building, it is also one of the most requested items on recent employee workplace surveys and impacts heavily on the wellbeing of employees.
"When considering the introduction of new outdoor spaces, work with expert facilities management consultants to design and develop the space in accordance with the requirements of the business, ensure that clear guidelines are issued around the use of the space and that the design is both sustainable and manageable. Once installed, use an expert horticultural and grounds maintenance contractor to manage the space and to ensure it is kept aesthetically pleasing, functional and safe for your staff and visitors."
The provision of outside space is clearly a complement to interior design that has been moving away from the minimalist movement to softer environments, with nature playing a vital role in creating these harmonious spaces. FMs will have differing availability of outside space with which to expand their wellbeing initiatives, but where this is possible, the cost will be more than rewarded with a more productive workforce and a business that will attract top talent.

For H.D. Jones, pastor of Temple Baptist Church in White House, Tennessee, using the Transformational Church Assessment Tool (TCAT) a few years ago was like getting a physical.
It was a change to get an outside expert's view of how the church was doing.
"We found out we are a pretty healthy church," Jones said. "That didn't surprise me. But it gave us a few things to work on."
About 75 members of the church, which has a weekend attendance of about 500, took the 80-question online assessment, and then attended a Friday night dinner to review the results.
The TCAT is based on a long-term, research study of effective discipleship that included surveys of 7,000 pastors and 20,000 church members from 123 denominations, along with in-depth interviews with hundreds of pastors. It gives churches feedback in seven areas of spiritual vitality.
Jones first heard about the TCAT while reading "Transformational Church" by Ed Stetzer and Thom Rainer. The staff had read through the book and wanted to apply some of its principles to their ministry.
"We wanted to make sure that we were doing the right things, and that we had a good assessment of where we were," said Jones.
The report was mostly good. Church members wanted to be more active in the community and to focus more on prayer. They also wanted more input into how the church's programs are run, so Jones started a new group called the "think tank," to get more input from lay people. The idea came from a consultant who helped them work through the TCAT.
"He told me, you need some folks you can just sit down and talk with," said Jones. The group allows Jones to bounce ideas off them and gives him feedback from folks who aren't on the church staff.
As part of the assessment, church members also gave feedback on worship. They felt Sunday services had become too predictable at times. People told him, "Sometimes we come into worship, and we know exactly what's going to happen when,'" he said.
That's led to a little more variety to the order of Sunday worship. They've held what Jones calls a "reverse service," which starts with the sermon and then gives time for prayer and singing. And, more lay people have been invited to share their testimony or lead prayers on Sundays.
There have been other, smaller changes in the day-to-day life of the church. During the assessment, church members said they wanted to be more deliberate about prayer. Nowadays, it's common to find people praying together in the halls before a service, rather than just saying, "I'll pray for you," said Jones.
There's also been one change in the church's finances. Church members wanted to focus on becoming debt-free, so that they could give more money to missions in the future.
"They felt like our indebtedness was getting in the way of their missions giving," he said. The church is now debt free. "That has opened up some new opportunities in missions," he said.

That Touch of Mink is a 1962 romantic comedy starring Cary Grant and Doris Day, and directed by Delbert Mann. The film co-stars Gig Young, John Astin, Audrey Meadows, and Dick Sargent. In addition, baseball stars Mickey Mantle, Roger Maris, and Yogi Berra make cameo appearances.
Cathy Timberlake, a New York City career woman, meets Philip Shayne. His Rolls Royce splashes her dress with mud while she is on her way to a job interview.
Philip wants an affair, while Cathy is holding out for marriage. Watching from the sidelines are Philip's financial manager, Roger, who sees a therapist because he feels guilty about helping his boss with his numerous conquests, and Cathy's roommate, Connie Emerson, who knows what Philip is after.
Philip wines and dines Cathy. He takes her to see the New York Yankees play. They watch from the Yankees dugout (he owns part of the team). Cathy's complaints about the umpire while seated alongside Mickey Mantle, Roger Maris and Yogi Berra (playing themselves), cause Art Passarella to throw all of them out of the game.
Philip's conscience weighs on him, so he withdraws an invitation to Bermuda, which only serves to make Cathy agree to go. While in Bermuda, Cathy comes down with a nervous rash, much to her embarrassment and his frustration.
The Bermuda trip is repeated, but this time Cathy drinks to soothe her nerves and ends up drunk. While intoxicated, Cathy falls off the balcony onto an awning below. She is then carried in her pajamas through the crowded hotel lobby.
At the urging of Roger and Connie who are convinced that Philip is in love with her, Cathy goes on a date with Beasley, whom she dislikes, to make Philip jealous. Her plan succeeds and she and Philip get married. On their honeymoon, he breaks out in a rash.
The film grossed $17,648,927 at the box office,[1] earning $8.5 million in US theatrical rentals.[2] It was the 4th highest grossing film of 1962.

Energy Healing
Health & Wellness
My name is Jamie Butler. My life has definitely been extra-ordinary. As far as I can remember I have always been able to see the lights surrounding people and inanimate objects (energy fields). Along with seeing energy, I see spirits (clairvoyant) and I hear them (clairaudient). As a child, I would play hide and go seek with my spirit friends, but now as an adult, they give me great insight and guidance. Throughout the years of working with my guides, I have learned how to channel spirit, which is when a spirit relays messages by borrowing my body and voice to communicate to others. Between the ages of 6 to 17, I let go of my abilities at the request of my mother. At the age of 18, I reconnected with these abilities, and I then began giving readings publicly when I was 20. I grew up in Central Florida, which is where I studied ��ïÿý���ï��ïÿý���ÿ��ïÿý���ýPsychic Awareness��ïÿý���ï��ïÿý���ÿ��ïÿý���ý with Marguerite Romeis for eight years. Marguerite taught me how to control my abilities and encouraged me to study Reiki (an ancient Tibetan healing art). I received the status of Reiki Master four years later in 1996. After completion of a bachelor��ïÿý���ï��ïÿý���ÿ��ïÿý���ýs degree at the University of Florida I earned a Massage and Hydro-Therapy certification in 1998 from the Florida School of Massage. I then relocated to Atlanta where I live today. In 2000, I received a Master Hypnotherapist degree from The New York Institute. I extended this education with a one week intensive in past life regression with Dr. Brian Weiss, MD at the Omega Institute. Already working worldwide with my readings, I decided to launch a company in 2001, Love and Light LLC, designed to support, create, and inspire spiritual growth through public channeling, guest lecturers, classes and private sessions for all ages. Throughout the years, I have been a guest speaker at the University of Florida, Gwinnett College and Georgia Perimeter College in Atlanta, and a frequent presenter for groups and radio shows throughout the US. In the summer of 2010, I had my first scheduled appointment with Elisa Medhus and met her son Erik. This one encounter grew into a magical relationship with the ��ïÿý���ï��ïÿý���ÿ��ïÿý���ýChanneling Erik��ïÿý���ï��ïÿý���ÿ��ïÿý���ý community. Now, not only do I have the pleasure of channeling Erik for his mother��ïÿý���ï��ïÿý���ÿ��ïÿý���ýs blog www.channelingerik.com, but I also travel the states teaching weekend workshops, hosting conference calls, fielding radio interviews and work with the Channeling Erik YouTube Channel. This is just the beginning! In 2012 Love and Light expanded and welcomed certified massage therapist Corey Dobyns of Core Balance and Wellness to The Center. Corey has been a huge asset to the center��ïÿý���ï��ïÿý���ÿ��ïÿý���ýs growth. The Center for Love and Light continues to evolve and now hosts teachers, healers, and lecturers from all over the globe. It is a wonderful place for me to call home. I find it no coincidence that you are here to enjoy it with me. Currently, I have a client base built solely through personal referrals with people in every State in the U.S. and stretching internationally to over twenty other countries.

Steven North
Steven North has always had a passion for music, ever since he can remember, he would be playing music, whether it was borrowing his father's vinyl collection, tape recording radio shows to make his own mix tape, there's always been a passion. During his youth, he had the dream, the vision to be a DJ and he went on to do weddings, functions & parties in his late teens. This was put to a holt when he was offered a job at a restaurant and worked full time. Little did he know, his love for music and sound would end up becoming reignited with a firey passion. A number of years had passed with no touch on music, no thoughts on writing music and after a life changing experience, his passion for music reignited with a fire. Just like the Phoenix rising, so did his love for the music. The childhood dream to become a DJ and play in the big clubs began again. His first residency gig was in a local pub in Fremantle and this saw his career evolve, his style get created and the path to what you're listening today was born. He began focusing on what would could see to be how music blends together and began to see the frequencies in the music, his thirst for creating. Later on in 2011, he became a music journalist for The Empire of Perth Magazine which wrote about all the night industry in Perth, Western Australia and Steven was required to provide podcasts every week, slamming down a radio segment which later on evolved into an international radio segment, being played on the airwaves in Bulgaria, London, Mexico (just to name a few counties). He approached an artist representative company in Ibiza, Spain with the dream to play to the big crows and their advice was that these days, a DJ needs to also be a producer, they need to have a name in order to play there and that birthed Steve's music production career. Teaching himself how to put music together, which came very easy being a DJ, he also took on some piano lessons in order to learn how to play the piano and get a better understanding of music scales. Again, with no idea what was going to happen in the future. After writing different pieces of classical music, random pieces of house music, he was approached by the owner of Luxurious Magazine to write music for them. Steve fell off of his chair (true story) and the amazing friendship with Luxurious Magazine was born with various tracks being utilised in their videos. Steven is still involved with Luxurious Magazine today and has been published when interviewing one of the Ibiza DJ's hot on the scene. Steven was also a representative of an Italian, House Music record label and being an A&R for artists in the electronic music scene and became friends with many international acts around. Steven has played in a number of clubs in Perth, Western Australia including the famous Geisha Bar and Eve Nightclub at the Crown Casino and loves creating happy & loving moments with music. Over the next series of months, through guidance from pyshics and spirit guides, Steve was told that he would be writing music that would embed the energies of crystals and that began a year of brain storming. How does one do this? Today, Steven North has seen a number of releases on the Ibiza record label, Senssual Records under the name of 'Forgone' and is the founder of the Heart Activation Music & Heart Activation Music Therapy which is a music therapy modality that utilises the frequencies & harmonics of crystals.

You Are About to Embark on a Spiritual Journey and Alternate Reality with a Natural Born Psychic, Healer and Shaman. Since I was born Psychic with the abilities of being Clairaudient, Clairsentient and Clairvoyant, my Metaphysical path was in full view ahead of me, but early on I did not realize that one day my abilities would help so many people. I am a third generation Psychic and Oma, but no one in my family publicly admitted being Psychic, until me. My mother was Psychic and an Oma and came down in a body to give me elevation so I could help spread this important global message. I have had a wide range of career positions, from working in Corporate America to teaching school to being a Social Worker. But with this current Metaphysical work my life has experienced a rebirth. I hold a B.A. in Sociology and Journalism from Indiana University and am an author and writer, having studied Metaphysics and world religions for over 20 years. I am also a Certified Counselor in Metaphysics and a trained Medium and Psychic, and trained Shaman in South America under Ancient Peruvian Shamanic Energy Medicine and A Clearer. That is my story, but what is most important is your story. You have your own set of challenges, setbacks, dreams and visions for a more ideal future. Let us look at that. I look forward to helping you achieve your own spiritual renewal as we begin our work together. RAINE 773-616-1705

Every 51 minutes, other person dies in an alcohol-related traffic collision. In 2012 alone, more than 10,000 people were killed in drunk driving accidents, accounting for approximately one-third of every fatalities.
You can locate more drunk driving statistics upon the Mothers neighboring Drunk Driving (MADD) website here.
Drunk Driving Prevention In America
In the slant of these staggering numbers, what are governmental agencies and private campaigns put on an act to educate American drivers practically drunk driving? This article will have enough money a survey of the most widely-publicized anti-impaired driving campaigns, and an analysis of their real-world effects.
Buzzed Driving
In the last few years, weve seen numerous ad campaigns, initiated both by state-funded organizations and private raptness groups, advocating for widespread nod of something called buzzed driving. therefore what is it?
Buzzed driving is a enormously easy concept. After ingestion, alcohol is absorbed unexpectedly by the bloodstream and common tests, later a breathalyzer, can affect the amount of alcohol in your blood reliably and quickly. Driving taking into consideration a Blood Alcohol Content (BAC) of 0.08 or forward-looking is illegal in all state. At that concentration, drivers almost invariably experience sedation and slower reply times. In additional words, its usefully dangerous to drive gone that much alcohol in your system.
Buzzed driving is understandably having a BAC demean than 0.08% but vanguard than 0.00%.
One Beer Wont bend The pretentiousness I Drive
And significant studies have found that less is no better. One balance from UC San Diego that evaluated accident reports found that buzzed drivers, those with a BAC of 0.01 percent are 46 percent more likely to be officially and solely to blame than self-denying drivers. The fact is that driving even slightly buzzed is dangerous, far away more risky than driving sober.
The genuine trouble is that American take effect and public policy tend to see upon 0.08% as a definitive, meaningful boundary. below that pedigree and youre relatively safe, above it youre dangerous. But the researchers at UC San Diego found that the chances of causing a crash increases steadily and skillfully from BAC 0.01 to 0.24 percent, meaning that there is no curt transition similar to comparing a buzzed driver to a drunk driver. It turns out that 0.08% is not a definitive boundary, and that no amount of alcohol is secure in the given analysis.
The description from UC San Diego was published in the British medical journal disrespect Prevention. You can gate a summary here.
The Worlds Stance on Drunk Driving
Much of the world has even more rigorous limits.
China has a legitimate limit of 0.02%
Japan uses 0.03%
Frances authentic limit is 0.05%
Germanys is 0.05%
Sweden uses 0.02%
Slovakia, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Romania, Bangladesh, and Saudi Arabia all have zero-tolerance policies; any BAC above 0.00% and youll lose your license, be penalized subsequently prickly fines, and your car can be impounded.
In fact, North America (including Canada and Mexico) is one of the worlds and no-one else regions to use 0.08% BAC as its valid limit.
Has The stir Worked?
The Ad Council, Americas largest non-profit producer of public help announcements, spearheaded the Buzzed Driving awareness campaign. upon their website, they balance that their ads reached nearly one half of every American adults higher than the age of 21. And that there was a significant deposit in the proportion of men age 21 35 who called themselves extremely concerned approximately the matter of drunk driving, from 22 percent in 2005 to 27 percent in 2011.
And though public preparedness is no question important, Americas legislators have nevertheless to respond to our additional pact of buzzed driving. In fact, when most make a clean breast governments deal with to zero tolerance, they either limit this prohibition to drivers below 21 or plan simply that they wont tolerate any driver following a BAC higher than 0.08%.
Only period will tell whether or not welcome governments follow through upon the current research. put up to in 2013, the National Transportation Safety Board recommended lowering Americas real limit to 0.05%, but no state has still to lecture to this stricter limit.
Alcohol Addiction Treatment
Another confession has been to contextualize drunk driving, to define it in terms of option tragic condition. As the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) states: drunk driving is often a symptom of a larger problem: alcohol insult and abuse. The underlying premise to this work up is that some drunk drivers accomplishment vehicles even though impaired because (in therefore many words) they cant incite it. And if you acquire substance dependent persons treatment, you might put up with some impaired drivers off the road in the similar gesture.
Also telling is that the NHTSA refers to impaired driving, rather than drunk driving. In pedigree when recent developments in addiction studies, the NHTSA has adopted the scientific convention that finds more tab than contrast along with alcohol abuse and drug addiction in general.
This lineage of reasoning seems bolstered by statistical evidence. In a psychiatry released by the National Institute upon Drug Abuse, researchers found that almost half of all drivers who were killed in crashes and tested determined for drugs after that had alcohol in their system. In many cases, then, the suffering is mixed. And the solution might be, too.

In a Nutshell
Compost is organic material that can be added to soil to help plants grow. Compost can be used to enrich flower and vegetable gardens, to improve the soil around trees and shrubs, and as a soil amendment. Compost can be made from yard waste, fruit and vegetable waste, etc. It's easy to compost - as the saying goes "compost happens"!
Practical Solution
The "How To"
Standard Home Compost
Compost is organic matter that when added to soil helps plants grow. Food scrapes (Fruits and vegetables) and yard waste are perfect composting materials. Composting is a simple and time efficient method to manage yard waste, and turn it into fertilizer. Organic matter in compost improves soil aeration, root penetration, water infiltration, and reduces crusting of the soil surface. Compost will occur naturally, and there are certain devices and methods that can be used to start and the aid the composting process.
The Missouri Department of Natural Resources and St. Louis County have webpages which explains the composting process and how to build a composting bin. Composting bins can be made from wood or wiring. They also can be made in various sizes. These pages will also explain how the location of the compost pile/bin, watering rate and turning the compost effects the process.
Another home waste recycling technique is Vermicompost. Vermicompost uses red wiggler worms to break down decaying plants, fruits, and vegetable waste. Like composting, vermicomposting can be maintained in the backyard. Necessary items to make your own vermicompost pile include worms, the organic waste, and a box. Start a vermicompost bin in your backyard and after a few months the matter will be fully turned and ready for your lawn and garden. Instructions on how to vermicompost are available below.
Planning & Zoning
The City of Clayton's ordinance (Section 235.320) specifies that composting in the City of Clayton. Among other things, the ordinance states the allowable materials for backyard composting and collection of yard waste and organic materials.
Missouri 260.250, RSMo bans yard waste from landfills. Among other provisions, the Missouri Ban mentions that woody materials that are over six inches in diameter should be used for more beneficial purposes such as firewood and wood chips.
Dollars & Cents
Many gardening difficulties are rooted in substandard soil. Whether your garden has a nutrient, moisture or aeration problem, you can improve the soil with compost. One major benefit for lawn owners is the savings for mulch and fertilizer. Washington State University lists several benefits of composting in great detail. Compost use can result in a variety of environmental benefits. Compost has the ability to help regenerate poor soils. Compost has also been shown to suppress plant diseases and pests, reduce or eliminate the need for chemical fertilizers, and promote higher yield of crops and gardens. Using compost can reduce the need for water, fertilizers, and pesticides. Composting organic materials reduces the production of methane from landfills. Compost also prevents pollutants in stormwater runoff from reaching surface water resources. Compost has also been shown to prevent erosion on embankments along creeks, lakes and rivers
Some food wastes that may be composted with your yard waste are vegetable and fruit scraps, coffee grounds (including the filter), tealeaves and tea bags, and eggshells. Other organics that can be composted include hair, dryer lint, paper (that is not printed with petroleum-based inks), and vacuum cleaner dust. Composting reduces the amount of greenhouse gases generated in landfills, and saves landfill space. Businesses and municipalities can save money in landfill disposal fees by composting a portion of their food waste and other organics. Homeowners will save on trash bags costs.
Free mulch and compost is available free of charge for City of St. Louis residents on various dates throughout the year. Also on select days City of St. Louis residents can drop off their yard waste to be composted. STL Compost teams up with the City for composting.
Measuring Success
The rich nutrients found in compost should improve the quality of almost any soil. Soil drainage should increase. Soil should break and crumble versus being hard and dry. The University of Illinois Extension provides these soil benefits from utilizing compost.
Composting additional organics such as those mentioned above can reduce waste going into landfills by an additional 10%. Some of the things NOT to include in composting are:
- Animal carcasses
- Fish
- Fowl
- Meat
- Bones
- Other animal products
- Manure
- Used litter box remains
- Milk, cheese, sour cream or other dairy products
- Lard, oils, or oil-based foods
- Mayonnaise
- Salad dressing
- Whole grains (rice, wheat, barley, etc.)

This time last year, Megabus did a major expansion from Washington DC, and it included service to Durham, NC where I lived at the time. This year Megabus is launching a brand new hub, Atlanta, GA. After going through withdrawl for cheap trips, I can now take Megabus again for destinations throughout the southeast. The destinations being served from ATL are as follows:
- Birmingham, AL
- Charlotte, NC
- Chattanooga, TN
- Mobile, AL
- Gainesville, FL
- Jacksonville, FL
- Knoxcille, TN
- Memphis, TN
- Montgomery, AL
- Nashville, TN
- Orlando, FL
Service will begin on November 16th and follow their standard pricing scale. I'm really looking forward to it, especially depending on the schedule they have running to CLT, as that may make it easier for me to get up to DC reliably (I've waited 6 hours for no reason on Amtrak), as well as sacing gas money on some of the cities. And after enjoying my previous trip, it is real easy to see me traveling around the southeast.
Now some of these cities have insane airfare costs, and this actually presents a possible way for people to get to them a little more affordably. As the station is located at a MARTA station, you can actually land in Atlanta, and it only costs a train ride to the bus stop. The savings could be worth it.
Now if only they would start a rewards program ;)
