Sure, those millionaire outfielders are good but can they catch a fly with an eight month old baby in one arm and a backpack strapped on? Maybe they should hire Tiffany Goodwin to give them lessons in how it's really done.

Those old boxes of junk you inherited? Open them.
An extraordinary collection of items belonging to Worcester native Andrew Haswell Green — a visionary who helped remake New York City in the 19th century — will be sold this week in an unprecedented four-day auction at the DCU Center in Worcester.
Among the thousands of documents, artworks, china, clothing, and toys being sold are handwritten correspondence to and from four presidents and a rare, printed copy of George Washington's will.
From Green's death in 1903 until 2009, virtually none of the items had ever been uncrated and examined. Packing boxes sealed more than a century ago were opened only after the death last summer of Julia Green, his great-great-grandniece and distant heiress.

The World's Oldest Trees…40 centuries plus
Of the many scenic wonders found within the Inyo National Forest, one of the most amazing is the Ancient Bristlecone Pine Forest, located between 10,000 and 11,000 ft. in the White Mountains, east of the Sierra Nevada. These trees are the oldest known living trees on earth. Here in the White Mountains, the ancient trees have survived more than 40 centuries, exceeding the age of the oldest Giant Sequoia by 1,500 years…
Each Bristlecone pine, from young seedling to ancient relic, has an individual character. And in the Ancient Forest, where trees had more than four and a half millennia to develop their character, each tree is a true individual. Every single tree in the Ancient Forest is at least 4,000 years old, many reach 4,500 years and the oldest one – Methuselah – has a confirmed age of 4,768 years which secured its place in the Guinness Book of World Records. In order to protect Methuselah from souvenir hunters and people who would just "love it to death," the forest service does not disclose its location. It only hints that Methuselah is on of the trees right along the trail in the Ancient Forest.
Two scores…from the full length of the field
A schoolgirl goalkeeper is set for the record books after scoring twice in a single match from her own penalty box. Emily Dickson, 14, stunned her team-mates and the opposition with two huge drop kicks down the full-sized pitch.
With both attempts, the ball bounced over the opposing keeper and into the net during the under-15s match, reports the Daily Telegraph.
Emily, from Broxbourne, Herts, is now awaiting confirmation from FA officials, who believe her effort is a record.

Just 2,000 of them born every year, compared to around 10,000 large white hybrid pig. But most experts believe the Lop produces the tastiest bacon.

No buyer Oddly Enough – Reuters
Global auction house Sotheby's failed to hammer off a 72.22-carat, "D" flawless white diamond at its Asian sales last week in a possible sign of weakness in the global diamond trade.
The large diamond which had a pre-sale estimate of $10-12 million, attracted a final bid of HK$73 million ($9.24million) that fell short of the reserve price and went unsold, said Sotheby's press officer Rhonda Yung.
The diamond was later sold to a private buyer for an undisclosed sum, Sotheby's said.

Dropping something may have saved Joy Horton's life. The 73-year-old woman was preparing some food in her western New York home on Monday morning when she dropped a spoon on the floor of her kitchen. When she bent down, her house exploded.
The explosion leveled her home in the Wayne County town of Sodus, on Lake Ontario about 25 miles east of Rochester. Horton wasn't seriously injured. She crawled out from underneath the rubble and walked to her daughter's home nearby to get help.
Fire officials said that because Horton was bending down when the explosion occurred, the kitchen sink and counter top helped keep debris from hitting her.

U.S. Investment in Global Bonds: As the Fed Pushes, Some EMEs Pull
, , ,
NBER Working Paper No. 20571
We analyze reallocations within the international bond portfolios of US investors. The most striking empirical observation is a steady increase in US investors' allocations toward emerging market local currency bonds, unabated by the global financial crisis and accelerating in the post-crisis period. Part of the increase in EME allocations is associated with global "push" factors such as low US long-term interest rates and unconventional monetary policy as well as subdued risk aversion/expected volatility. But also evident is investor differentiation among EMEs, with the largest reallocations going to those EMEs with strong macroeconomic fundamentals such as more positive current account balances, less volatile inflation, and stronger economic growth. We also provide a descriptive analysis of global bond markets' structure and returns.

World and Paralympic champions the Netherlands defeated Britain and retained their International Wheelchair Basketball Federation Women's European Championship Division A title.
Contesting their 15th consecutive final, the Dutch had too much firepower for their opponents and sealed a 65-52 win in front of their home crowd at Topsportcentrum Rotterdam.
Britain were made to pay for a costly first quarter which saw them fall 17-8 behind.
They were just four points behind in both the second and third quarters before winning the last 19-15, but it did not prove enough.
Mariska Beijer contributed a sizeable portion of the hosts' points with 24, with Bo Kramer adding 21.
For first-time finalists Britain, Laurie Williams top-scored from the bench with 14 and she was followed by Amy Conroy on 11 and Robyn Love on 10.
Germany took bronze after sweeping past Spain 53-38.
Mareike Miller led the scoring for the Germans with 22 points, with Katharina Lang not far behind on 19.
Virginia Pérez sunk 13 points for Spain and Victoria Alonso 10.
Elsewhere, France beat a much-improved Turkey side 56-46 in the fifth-place game.

Four inmates were charged in connection with an attempted riot at the Cherokee County Detention Center last weekend.
Cherokee Sheriff Steve Mueller said deputies, Gaffney police and troopers responded to a fight in progress at the detention center at about 11:50 a.m. Saturday, April 7, according to a press release issued Sunday.
Inside one of the units, several inmates were seen attempting to start a riot, he said.
They assaulted other inmates, threw chairs at staff, damaged sinks in the inmate cells and threw food trays on the floor and walls within the dorm area of the unit, he said.
Officers restored order in less than 30 minutes and removed four from the unit and placed them on lockdown, he said.
During the past week, investigators took employee statements and interviewed inmates, which resulted in 24 warrants for the four inmates identified as the "troublemakers," Mueller said.
Charged were Willie Charles Gill, 32, of Gaffney; Damion Deondra Farr, 20, of Pacolet; Christopher Vlevon Feaster, 42, of Chester, and Travon S. Parker, 21, of Gaffney.
Each received charges of assault and battery by mob, malicious damage to jail, resisting and or assault of an officer, and prisoner participating in a riot.

Exciting New Features: Maps, QR Codes, and More!
Because new features in the 7.5 KeyServer build have continued to evolve and expand, we wanted to write a quick post to let you know about them. For a detailed list of all changes and bug fixes, visit the Release History page.
For example, the 126.96.36.199 release includes a number of enhancements to Lab Maps functionality in the Maps tab/page of the KeyReporter web interface, including new geographical "campus" maps that display computer lab/classroom location with a green "pin" with the number of available computers in each location.
Upon clicking one of the map pins, users will see an information bubble with the name of the room (linking to the room floorplan), a bar chart indicating the number of computers available out of the total count, and a Google Maps link for instant access to walking directions to the selected lab. Maps can be easily embedded onto branded web pages. ModoLabs app integration is also available now in KeyServer 126.96.36.199.
Rather than a single map that includes all computer rooms, the Maps page now has a tabbed layout, allowing administrators to create multiple tabs/maps as needed, for separate campuses, departments, or other categories.
The Software Search page now also includes a map view. In this case, the green pins show the number of computers in each room that have the software product searched for.
On the room/floorplan pages, a new list view has been added for accessibility/screen readers. Look for this icon at the top of the room layout/floorplan page:
The "Floorplan Properties" (previously "Map Properties") window has been updated to include additional new settings, including Latitude/Longitude, the ability to "suppress availability for safety" (make the room appear as if empty/all computers available if fewer than 5 machines are in use), and a Show/Hide feature for displaying a small geographic map at the bottom of the room layout/floorplan page, under the Demand Forecast.
On the individual floorplans, automatically generated QR Codes have been added to the object library for each room. They can be placed anywhere on the map, just like the desk objects logos, and other icons. QR Codes provide an easy way to pull up availability information for a particular room or lab on any mobile device. Scan the link below with the camera app on your Android or Apple device for a sample map. (iPhone will create a clickable link automatically when you aim the camera at the QR Code. For Android, click the Google Lens button in the default camera app).
Finally, KeyServer now has the ability to determine whether the system volume drive for client machines is encrypted. Encryption status can be viewed in the Computers window with a new built in filter.
As always, let us know if you have any questions, ideas, concerns, or other feedback!

Independent Schools in Jamaica
- Overview
- Independent schools
Gross enrolment overall: 82.7% (2010)
Primary female–male ratio: 0.95:1 (2010)
Secondary female–male ratio: 1.03:1 (2010)
Primary pupil–teacher ratio: 21:1 (2010)
Secondary pupil–teacher ratio: 15:1 (2010)
There are six years of compulsory education starting at age six. Primary school comprises six years and secondary seven, with cycles of three and four years. Some 95% of pupils complete primary school (2009). The school year starts in September.
The Caribbean Examinations Council, established in 1972 by an agreement among 15 English-speaking Commonwealth Caribbean countries and territories, provides examinations and certification at secondary and post-secondary levels. Qualifications offered by the Council include the Caribbean Secondary Education Certificate (in 33 subjects, for students at the end of the secondary education cycle); Caribbean Advanced Proficiency (for post-secondary students entering the world of work and for those candidates who wish to continue their further education at the tertiary level); Caribbean Vocational Qualification; and, since 2005, Associate Degrees. The Council has its headquarters in Barbados and western zone office in Jamaica.
Special education is provided mainly by private voluntary organisations in partnership with government. Some 75 agencies and organisations, many affiliated to churches, run adult education programmes.
The definition of a private education institution in Jamaica is broadly defined as any school at which education is provided for 20 or more students that is not a public educational institution, and therefore includes pre-primary to vocational institutions. The Jamaica Independent Schools' Association (JISA), founded in 1969, aspires to build the capacity of private schools by improving teaching and learning as a primary nation building tool. Over 120 private schools are registered with the association. The Educational Services Division of the Ministry of Education is responsible for the Independent Schools Committee, which reports directly to the Minister of Education on policy matters relating to private education. Independent schools are required to use the National Curriculum as the base for their programmes.

Back exercise
Back exercise
Why exercise?
Tight and/or weak muscles are often at the root of back pain, especially lower back pain. The muscles of the back, the abdomen, and the buttocks all support the spine - these muscles are called the core muscles.
Strong and flexible muscles help maintain proper posture and help prevent back pain. Remember to warm up the muscles with 5 minutes of light mobilisation such as walking or riding a stationary bike before either stretching or strengthening exercises. If in doubt, check with your doctor.
Here are Kairen's top stretching and exercises for a better back.
Exercise 1: Arch up and Arch down
- Corrects poor posture
- Releases muscle tension
- Increases flexibility in spine
- Kneel on a mat or towel

Exercise 2: The Cobra

Exercise 5: Backward bend

Some of the existing Orcs, in need of shields, that are currently part of my Orc force. They'll be given suitable shields as soon as I decide what colour to paint them, and moved into my new Orc 'Ax Horde' that I'm thinking of as the 'Chaos Orcs'. Probably, as I think about it, their shields will have red skulls on ... I dunno, black maybe?
This is the rest of what will become the 'Chaos Orc Ax Horde', which might be already morphing into the 'Redskulls'. Perhaps I should paint all the skulls on their belts red as well. This lot, with their brethren above and the 10 of their comrades not pictured, with the drummer and standard bearer I have for them, will be the 'O1' unit mentioned in the first part of 'Raising the Standard'.
These are the Orcs that will make up the second 'Ax Horde' - the 'Yellow Moon Orcs'. I have 14 of these guys already - they're currently in a unit with the 14 'Chaos Orcs' I have painted up, but want them to be transferred into their own unit. In the front are the minis that I hope I'll be able to transform into a drummer and a standard bearer. This unit is the 'O2' unit in the lists.
|This is the 'Sniff'' (scout) half-regiment. Very little painting done on these chaps but I plan on trying to use what has already been done - though it's a little garish for my tastes and it might just be easier to overpaint everything. This is 'O4' on my list.

The Best Things to Do in India With Kids
Travelling with kids might seem an especially daunting task when touring an overwhelming destination like India, but the land of colour and folk tales has a lot to offer families as well as solo travellers. Here are some fun activities you can enjoy in India with kids.
Enjoy Goa's beaches
A day at the beach can never be boring, and Goa is a treasure trove of fun beach activities for families. Anjuna Beach has several flea markets, and nearly all commercial beaches offer boat rides and water activities. Alternatively, head towards Benaulim to escape the crowds and find excellent restaurants.
Visit the Taj Mahal
Just a short trip from Delhi, the Taj Mahal is a piece of history and a must-visit on any trip to India. Pictures taken with the marble wonder can be one of the most cherished memories your kids can bring home.
Ski the Himalayas
Gulmarg, a hill station in Jammu and Kashmir, offers reasonably priced skiing with loads of fun, both for adults and the kids. Even though Gulmarg's ski resorts are open year round, with beautiful and scenic summers, winters here provide Asia's best skiing destination.
Spot tigers
India is the destination to see the royal beast. With more than 47 national reserves that are home to tigers, a safari vacation is an exciting opportunity for kids in India (one of many adventures, under parental supervision).
Camp in the desert and go on a camel safari
Camping out under the stars on a camel's back after a safari in the Thar Desert is a must-have experience with kids in India. Note that while days are hot and humid, temperatures drop at night, so bring both light and warm clothing and carry a cool drink and sun protection for the kids.
Stay in a houseboat in the backwaters
Kerala's network of backwater canals, lakes and rivers are scenic destinations, blanketed by lush palm trees and tropical magic and wrapped in enchanting, mesmerising charm. Cruising past villages, temples and other beautiful views in a houseboat is a floating hotel experience enjoyable and pleasant for both kids and adults.

Explore colourful Rajasthan
A mesmerizing experience for anyone who visits India, Rajasthan – a collection of cities that hold a regal charm and grand castles – is the destination of colours, happiness, music, history and dance. See Jaipur ('The Pink City'), Jodhpur ('The Blue City') and Udaipur ('City of Lakes') with floating palaces, each a captivating view for the kids.
Some tips for travelling with kids in India
- Use public toilets only in established restaurants.
- Don't drink tap water, but always keep cool drinks on hand (dehydration and heat can be especially hard on children).
- Ask for anything to accommodate children, such as particular food preparation. People are happy to help, so don't be shy.
- Ask your kids to keep an open mind towards the potentially overwhelming cultural differences.

Potbelly (NASDAQ: PBPB) is the latest franchise targeted by activist investors. The acceleration of activist activity (described more on page 31) means it could have some interesting days ahead.
Ancora, an investment management and wealth advisory firm that owns 4 percent of Potbelly shares, issued a letter with a laundry list of critiques of the brand. The biggest complaint: The stock isn't making money for shareholders—the shares are at $12, down from the post-IPO high of $17.
"Since going public in October 2013, investors have experienced nothing but losses as owners of Potbelly," wrote Ancora CEO Fred DiSanto. "Over every measurable period, Potbelly has underperformed the market."
The main three points from the Ancora letter question the franchise mix, corporate governance and capital expenditures. Of course, it came with some suggestions. In the letter, DiSanto outlined the changes he thought would move the needle.
Ancora advised the company to slow down "aggressive" new-location development and instead focus on efficient small-format kiosk locations that would boost margins and square-foot averages. It called for refranchising of company locations. A sale of 150 restaurants at 5 times EBITDA (or gross earnings) would produce $90 million for shareholders and reinvestment, according to Ancora. Executive compensation was also targeted. Ancora suggested it be pegged with shareholder returns, critiquing the large salaries at the top. Ancora also called for some new board members.
Where the battle will go is anyone's guess, but given the tone of the initial letter, it might be another dramatic activist battle for the franchise industry. Potbelly has yet to respond to the Ancora letter.

How do you take a mistake?
Does your face flush or pale? Do you shake?
Do you blame the salt
and claim it's his fault
that you never learned to bake cake?
Do you think you're a fluke or a fake?
Does the future look dim or opaque?
Though it's not quite a nope,
do you hope beyond hope
the mistake will be gone when you wake?
Do you sweep it away like it's dirt?
Do you break down because of the hurt?
You think it's a waste
'cause you think yours should taste
Like everyone else's dessert?
Or do you recognize something's at stake?
That tomorrow in bed when you wake,
It won't end in ruin
because you've been doin'
your best to learn from your mistake.
How do you take a mistake?
This poem is the second of three related children's poems. Read the first.

Gin-gle bells, gin-gle bells, gin-gle all the way! I cannot BELIEVE we are just 10 days out from Christmas. We just got our Christmas tree this week and to be honest, I haven't been in the highest of spirits. But that all changes today because it's Friday and there's a light dusting of snow on the ground, I have all my Christmas presents purchased, I'm wrapping up all my big client projects, and I'm getting ready to relax and revel in the season. And I'm going to do it with one (or two) of these amazing-looking Christmas cocktails from Sourland Mountain Spirits.
Sourland Mountain Spirits has come a long way since my first post about them earlier this year.

It is one thing to simply say that RingCentral phone systems will save your company substantial amounts of money while increasing revenue, but it is quite another to prove it. RingCentral has always been devoted to excellence and has the statistics to show it. That is why we are pleased to announce the release of a new Total Economic Impact™ (TEI) study examining the potential return on investment (ROI) that companies may experience by adopting RingCentral.
The new study, conducted by Forrester Research, examines the total economic impact of adopting cloud business phone systems. The study found that RingCentral provides substantial savings, delivers improved capabilities, and increases revenue by customer-facing employees. Forrester interviewed a set of companies to form a framework, composite company and ROI analysis. Forrester found that RingCentral enables companies to increase efficiency, productivity, ROI and thus boost revenue for customer-facing employees.
Prior to coming to RingCentral, the target study companies had typically invested in expensive upgrades for PBXs and regularly paid technicians to keep the systems up and running. The study's financial analysis found that after switching to RingCentral they saved $512,070 over PBX systems, $95,200 from RingCentral's CRM system integration and customer-facing employees increased their revenue by $5.3 million. Forrester also included 5-15% risk adjustments in all their savings and revenue findings.
The key benefits highlighted in the Forrester TEI study were the following:
Forrester concluded that by using RingCentral for a composite organization of 600 employees, a three-year, risk-adjusted return on investment (ROI) of 182% could be expected with a payback period of less than two months. Based on interviews with RingCentral customers who migrated from on-premise PBX systems, the study showed that when companies replaced voice services, fax services, audio web conferencing and video conferencing with RingCentral, they eliminated the need for multiple vendors and simplified their technology solutions.

State Street Global Advisors brought its Fearless Girl campaign to London with a new statue in Paternoster Square, while a stone's throw away at the London Stock Exchange the network for change in the asset management industry, City Hive, opened the market trading of UK companies.
Meanwhile, Investment Week brought readers top tips for women entering the industry from last year's winners of the Women in Investment Awards, showcased the industry's role models, and detailed visions for the diversity environment a decade from now.
While there were numerous reports published on the benefits of diversity, one figure stood out that highlights just how much work still needs to be done.
The UBS Investor Watch: Own your worth report conducted research into how women around the world engaged with their finances, surveying nearly 3,700 married women, widows and divorcees in Brazil, Germany, Hong Kong, Italy, Mexico, Singapore, Switzerland, the UK and the US.
It concluded (perhaps unsurprisingly) 80% of women globally are highly involved in their short-term finances, such as daily expenses and budgeting, but (more surprisingly) almost 60% of women do not engage in aspects of their financial well-being: investing, insurance, retirement and other long-term planning.
More shockingly – and in what UBS described as a "counterintuitive twist" – younger women are even more willing than older women to leave investing and financial planning decisions to their spouses.
Just under 60% of women globally aged 20-34 were guilty of this, while this figure climbs to 69% in the UK, the second highest after Singapore.
This flies in the face of everything we have learned about the stereotypical millennial, which largely forms a picture of financially savvy, eco-aware individuals who know what they want.
So, why are so few young women taking control of their financial future? UBS highlights comments such as "running around with toddlers" and "concentrating on my children", while a "lack of confidence" was also noted.
It is saddening to read that at a time when women are taking control of their careers, and also balancing family life and childcare, the majority are not planning their own financial futures.
There are huge opportunities for the investment industry here to pro-actively educate women on the importance of planning for retirement, to highlight the role our industry plays in society and showcase the varied jobs we have on offer.
This is reproduced from Investment Week; all views are from the publication. This originally appeared online on 15 March 2019.

Losing Weight Can Help Psoriasis
Patients with chronic plaque psoriasis get better when they lose weight via a low-calorie diet:
March 10, 2014
Diet improves tx response in obese with plaque psoriasis
Patients with chronic stable plaque-type psoriasis who lose weight by adopting lifestyle changes appear to respond better to psoriasis treatment, according to study findings from Thailand.
In addition, quality of life, triglyceride and LDL cholesterol levels also improved with the lifestyle modifications, including a low-calorie diet. Previous studies have shown the relative risk of psoriasis is directly related to body mass index (BMI), and positive correlation exists between psoriasis severity and BMI.

blog / 07.16.2015 ESPYs
Winning an ESPY last night and standing in front of you all, fans and fellow athletes, was truly an honor. I never did think I would get that opportunity. So many talented athletes in one room, it was a wonderful night for all of us. I have to shout out the other nominees for this award, yall had some amazing plays and each of you just as deserving of this award.
I want to thank my Mom and Dad; you guys have been supporting me ever since I can remember. I wouldn't be here without you two. Ever since I was 4 years old, I have dreamed of being where I am today. So Mom and Pops, thank you for being an inspiration to me throughout.
Most importantly, I want to thank God for all of these blessings; family, friends and football. He got me through something I didn't think would be possible, I didn't know if I was going to be able to play this past season. My faith in Him got me through and allowed me to trust in the process. I owe it all to Him.
It's a blessing to have been able to stand in front of you all to accept an ESPY. I am grateful for all of the support this last season and am excited to get back to it this season. Staying on the hunt for that Championship.

Newent has to be included in this website because not only isit the smallest town in here but its not a town of *****, oh no this is much worse its a town of **** wanabees!!!
But thats not the best part, i have found out that (through no fault of my own) there is a gang called the newent massive!
1. How can that happen there is barely anyone who lives there?
2. Most of the "*****" are about 10-14!
So how can they be massive… either way it puzzles the **** out of me!
I especially like where they hang out, there is this tiny little bus stop outside a doctors near a very small police station, so if they are even thick enough to try and do any damage whatsoever the police wont have to go far will they. Lets face it guys not the best place to hang out hey…. "ahhh, if only they had a braincell between them." But im sure were over that!
I also love the fact that the "*********" have their handbags, look all tarted up and have caked their faces with make up even though there just going out for a great night of roaming the streets! The lads however just throw on anything, they know it doesnt matter what they look like because we all think there ugly anyway.. They look like they have been painting the frontroom with their dad all day and have got more on their clothes than the walls! The same applies here with every other town where you have to be at least 30-40 meters away before they shout something offensive at you just incase you can catch them and **** the **** into there group of 50! Can you imagine if they didnt have the braincell to punch or swear at someone? They would be shagged!!
They hang around this crappy little car park (which if anyone has read, resembles the very much downgraded version of the farnborough cruise that surrounds mcdonalds) its kind of like 2-3 cars parking up and if u add them altogether has the potential to become one half modded fiesta 1.1 🙂
Two other local "****" spots are around the lake, and outside budgens car park. Obviously pushing trolleys around and looking at water is the best past times they can come up with… 😐 Again i will go back and use the "ahhh, if only they had a braincell between them" sentence.
So if u enjoy viewing trousers tucked into socks and a strong smell of cider coming from the corner of the street then you will love to come to Newent.

States can be laboratories of health reform.
Massachusetts and Oregon expanded insurance coverage during previous periods of federal inaction, and with solutions unlikely to come from a politically divided Washington D.C., how will states tackle the problem of health insurance becoming increasingly unaffordable and unattainable for many families?
Is there a role for the government to play a greater role in making health insurance affordable and accessible? As public support for action on health care grows, what options are available to states now?
I spoke to former Petrie-Flom Student Fellow and Medicaid policy scholar Emma Sandoe about states that have begun to explore Medicaid Buy-In policies, which allow people to purchase government backed health insurance or Medicaid-like plans. Read More

Treadmills come in two basic varieties, manual and motorized. If you need a treadmill, but don't have a lot of bucks to shell out for the machine, think manual because you will pay a lot of money for that motorized version. Another way to go is to hope over to Ebay and try to find a used motorized treadmill in your area. Why in your area? Because most of these machines weigh a lot and would be an absolute bear to ship in postage.
While you can do local searches for treadmills such as "walmart manual treadmill" or "dicks manual treadmill," you might want to start off with "Amazon manual treadmill" for a huge selection of products. In a recent search for "amazon manual treadmill," we came up with about 15 results that included some other items besides actual treadmills. Once on the page we went to sort by price, lowest price first. The units there went from around $99 up to over $800 for a manual treadmill. There was the Health Gear Easy Walk Manual Treadmill, the Fitness Reality TR1000 Manual Treadmill, theStamina InMotion Manual Treadmill, the Phoenix 98516 Easy-Up Manual Treadmill, the Sunny Health & Fitness SF-T1407M Manual Walking Treadmill, Gray, and on up to the $800 and change manual treadmill, the ASUNA Hi-Performance Cardio Trainer Manual Treadmill.
Phoenix 98516 Easy-Up Manual Treadmill
After going over the stats on the products and the reviews and keeping our budget firmly in mind, we went with the Phoenix 98516 Easy-Up Manual Treadmill. Our review of this product is that is works and works well and it only cost $100 and change. Do we love it? Hell no! It is really lightweight, probably about 45 to 50 pounds. It feels cheap compared to some of the super brands we've tried, treadmills starting at $1,400 an up. Manual treadmills are more difficult to operate than the speedy motorized versions on the market, but you can adjust to them. The thing about a manual treadmill is that you put in all of the muscle power to make it go. This unit in on a permanent incline, which makes it easier to operated, but it is a permanent incline. It has few options, one of which is a small computer that will tell you the time, speed, distance and calories burned. It is not ideal by any means and I am sure I would have been a lot happier with the beautiful $1,400 motorized unit. But overall, as I am treadmilling away on my $100 treadmill, I am burning the calories I want and I am very satisfied with my bank account, which shows an additional $1,300 earning interest over my counterpart down the street with the expensive unit.
Assembling the Phoenix 98516 Easy-Up Manual Treadmill
In addition to being inexpensive and quite functional, the unit was easy to put together. It probably took me about half an hour to put it together. If I were more handy with tools, it probably would have taken me 15 minutes. The remainder of this review goes over the ins and outs of assembling this unit. If you will quite reading here, I want to say to you that this unit functions well and it is inexpensive. If you need a budget treadmill and want one that will do the job, this is it.
The first notable thing about the Phoenix 98516 Easy-Up Manual Treadmill is that after the UPS guy dropped off the package at the front door, I was able to pick it up and carry it up a flight of stairs to my home office where I intend to use it, which was a relief. A week or so prior to that, I had typed in "treadmills Walmart" and "Walmart treadmills." I found a well reviewed treadmill at Walmart for under $200, which was my budget for this device. But when I went to purchase it at the store, it was monstrously heavy. I probably could have gotten help to get this package to my car, but I would have had to take the package apart in the back of my car and transport each piece up to my office one at a time. But the Phoenix 98516 Easy-Up Manual was easy to lift.
I took the photo above of all of the pieces that came in the package, which I hope is everything.
Assemble starts off with attaching hand posts to the bottom frame piece, which then attaches to the treadmill section. The instruction booklet said to use four bolts with nuts and curved washers. So far, installation is idiot proof because these nuts and bolts and curved washer are all attached to one another. (Of the eight bolts that came with the assembly, I am using four, so I am well on my way!)
IDIOT ALERT! Although I have been instructed to assemble the right and left hand posts to the bottom frame, the right and left hand posts are not actually marketed "right" and "left," so I am momentarily confused. I now notice in the drawing in the installation manual that the right hand post has a hole in the handrail near the top and near the bottom. So I have solved which is which fairly quickly! Note the hole at the base of the right hand hand rail near by.
Now I need to attach the hand posts and base to the main frame of the treadmill, which is in fact the treadmill section. There are only two bolts left with two washers that need to be put in place. The only problem with this is that when I slide the assembled handposts section over to the main frame, the holes are not aligned. You need to pick up the mainframe section a few inches off of the floor and hold it in place moving it ever so slightly while you align the holes in the mainframe with the handposts. If you are to weak to hold the main section in place, get a bunch of magazines and place them under the mainframe, raising it slightly with every magazine you put in place until you have the mainframe sitting on a bunch of magazines that allows the mainframe and the handposts to be aligned. Then using the Allen wrench that comes with the assembly, tighten down the two bolts. This was fairly easy to do.
Next, I need to connect the handrail with a wire coming out of it to the handposts. The handrail slides into place and there are two Philips head bolts that secure these two sections. The Phillips head wrench used to secure the handposts to the main section of the treadmill has a Phillips head screwdriver on the other end of the tool to use to connected the handrail and handposts. It was easy to do, even for me.
Now there is a little computer for the top that needs to be connected to the computer bracket. I inserted the AA battery into its back. Fortunately, the computer bracket is part of the handrail, so it is a simple matter of sliding the little computer back slot into the bracket. It was easy. In looking at what is left to install, I see a screw nob. The screw nob is attached on the right side of the treadmill. There is only one hole on the bottom right side of the handpost section. The screw knob goes through the handpost and into the main treadmill section. I tightened it down ever so slightly because I am not sure what it will be used for.
Now there is a wire coming out of the little computer. There is also one coming out of the handrail nearby. I connected them. Push them together until you hear a click. There is a second wire coming out of the handrail near the handpost. I connect them and push them together until I hear a click. Finally, there is a wire coming out of the bottom of the handrail near another wire coming out of the treadmill, so I connect them as well with a click.
Now the treadmill is fully assembled. All parts were included and all parts are in place and tightened down.
The assembly directions for the Phoenix 98516 Easy-Up Manual treadmill call for lubricant to be added to the underside of the treadbelt and treadboard. The directions say that either a silicone lubricant or WD-40 lubricant can be used. I don't have silicone lubricant handy, but I have plenty of WD-40, so I will use that. The directions call for testing the surface of the treadboard and treadbelt by touching it. If the area is wet, no additional lubricant may be currently needed. If it is dry, all the lubricant. Mine is new and dry, so I will spray on WE-40. I sprayed the length of both sides with the WD-40. This will be a test, if I put on too much, I will probably have some on the floor. If too little, then the directions said that the treadbelt and treadboard might stick. In which case, add more lubricant.
The belt needs to be adjusted to match your walking and your strength. There is a smaller Allen wrench that comes with the treadmill. There are Allen sockets at the back end of the treadmill that you use to adjust the unit. If the belt pulls to the right, rotate the right socket counterclockwise one or two revolutions. If it does it on the left, do the same with the left socket. If the belt is too tight, turn both sockets counterclockwise one or two revolutions. If the belt needs to be tightened up, turn it clockwise one or two revolutions. I have to tighten my belt up a lot. I turned it one revolution on both sides at a time and wound up turning six clockwise revolutions on either side to get it nice and tight.

FACEIT, the leading competitive gaming platform and organisers of some of the largest esports events in Europe and North America including ECS, Universal Open and the FACEIT London CS:GO Major, are pleased to announce their latest partnership with PUBG Corporation that will see them host the first global event on the 2019 season of PUBG esports. The FACEIT Global Summit: PUBG Classic will celebrate the end of Phase 1 and crown the first champion of the PUBG Classic series.
Last year, FACEIT integrated PLAYERUNKNOWN'S BATTLEGROUNDS (PUBG) into their competitive gaming platform which sees over 15 million online game sessions each month. The platform integration aims to offer players unprecedented opportunities to develop their skills and experience PUBG competitively. The partnership will now expand as FACEIT brings the premier PUBG global event to London this Spring.
The ExCeL London will see 24 teams from North America (NPL), Europe (PEL), Korea (PKL), China, Japan (PJS), Chinese Taipei/Hong Kong/Macao, Southeast Asia, Latin America, and Oceania compete in the epic multi-stage tournament that marks the end of Phase 1 for PUBG esports. The Summit will also include a showmatch between six teams who took part in the FACEIT PUBG Showdown. The Showdown, which started on February 8th is a three month online tournament. Each month the top two teams will receive a direct invitation to the Summit to compete on stage in front of a live audience and the millions of viewers at home. The next Showdown takes place on March 8th and the final Showdown takes place on March 29th and offers the ultimate opportunity for any up and coming PUBG players to prove their skills. Players can register their interest here.
Earlier this year PUBG Corporation announced a 25% revenue share from esports-specific in-game items that would go to teams, a program that would help the ecosystem and teams financially. This support will continue throughout the year and operate alongside competitions coordinated by third parties including FACEIT, in order to make PUBG esports sustainable and profitable for all parties involved.
"We've been on an incredible journey with PUBG since the platform integration. Building an esports ecosystem, incentivising players and creating a calendar that engages fans is no mean feat and we're honoured to have been selected as a partner for the first premier event that gathers the top teams from all over the world," said Michele Attisani, Co-Founder & CBO of FACEIT. "We're looking to offer the ultimate fan experience in April and we're excited to bring another major esports event back to London."
"In this next chapter of PUBG esports, we're thrilled to be working with FACEIT on our first PUBG Classic and bringing the top battle royale esports teams in the world to the United Kingdom," said Jake Sin, Global Esports Manager for PUBG Corporation. "FACEIT's track record of esports innovation and proven success in live event production mean fans are in for a real treat with the FACEIT Global Summit."

5 Tips for Better Strength Gains
Here are four quick tips to increase your strength efficiently and safely.
Groove the Movement
This may seem like an obvious statement, but I am not talking about just learning it. I mean, LEARNING it. Getting really good and comfortable at it. If you don't master a body weight squat, goblet squat and light barbell squat, you have slim chance at ever mastering a heavy barbell back squat. A critical error that is rarely unwound is the choice to go straight into heavy strength training without the basics of movement pattern and conditioning first established. Without proper kinetic awareness, there is no successful heavy lifting. As powerlifter, strongman and deadlift world record holder Andy Bolton cautions, "It takes five hundred reps to make a movement automatic, but three thousand to undo a faulty movement pattern and re-groove it".
It's a-okay to suck at first. We all did. Just respect that process. Do light weight, easily implemented squats until you no longer suck at them. Then, begin your quest of strength. If you begin heavy without grooving the movement, it's much more likely you just won't get strong, rather than injured.
Respect Schematics
If your board calls for a 5 x 3, then hit all 15 reps. Don't go rogue and start wingin' your reps, attempting a random one-rep max in your third set. Your training is shot for the day and then you've accomplished nothing. Save your one-rep attempts until after your sets are complete, or better yet, on days that take us to low rep programming and call for it. Strength is a volume game at high percentages. Both ingredients are required in equal parts and if you routinely skip either one of them, you are cutting your strength gains short.
This is a proven method to strength and one of the easiest to follow in terms of linear growth. If you are trying to improve at a movement, perform it at 5×5 for a few weeks or months. Every week, attempt to increase your work by five pounds and at the end of the cycle you will likely see a 15 – 30# increase in your working rep weight. I'd love to sit here and prescribe you rear elevated Bulgarian rhinoceros lunges, but you don't need that and neither do most people. You just need consistency and awareness and that's the beauty of dedicated 5×5 work. There's no magic in it beyond that.
Lastly, you don't need this until you are really stalled and again, after you have really established proficiency.
Actually Train Heavy
Strength training requires we train heavy. Duh, right? Have an honest discussion with yourself and find out if you're actually training heavy and pushing this particular skill. If you are breezing through your sets in a matter of minutes, you are not strength training. A proper strength athlete takes the time to find out their 5, 3 and 1-rep max so you can then base percentages from that. Winging it works, until it doesn't. And at that point you must get serious with the numbers and respect them.
Strength training is a blend of art and science. It's not an all out assault on your max every time you train, nor is it something you can stroll through and expect to see big numbers. Take the time to track what you're doing, inform yourself of…yourself, and always be aware of your plan for that particular day. The most productive day of strength is one that is productive, but doesn't destroy your body and deplete your week.

A MAN who went into Accrington police station to make a complaint ended up being arrested.
Blackburn magistrates heard James Andrew French became abusive when he was told the incident he was complaining about was a civil matter and nothing to do with the police.
French, 31, of High Street, Rishton, pleaded guilty to using threatening behaviour. He was given a conditional discharge for 12 months and ordered to pay £85 costs and £24 victim surcharge.
Catherine Allan, prosecuting, said French went into the police station at 3.30pm and abused civilian staff who told him his complaint was a civil matter and nothing to do with the police.
"An officer was called to deal with the defendant and he threatened to break his jaw," said Miss Allan.
Ian Huggan, defending, said his client did not agree with the police appraisal of his complaint.
"He was frustrated and let his frustrations get the better of him," said Mr Huggan.
"He accepts he was disorderly and he apologises through me for his behaviour."


text: DrungoHazewood Report post Posted February 14, 2016 OK. Feb 7th...13 (12?) matches to go...Leicester City is 5 points clear after thoroughly dominating MC at the Etihad. Isn't this great!!!! Top 4 and Champions league almost a certainty with the Prem title an increasing possibility. Welp... I was rooting for Leicester today just because you can never root for Arsenal. I guess I was really looking for a draw. Oh well. But Spurs took advantage of a lucky call on the PK, then Lamela came on with a brilliant run and feed to Ericksen for the winner. Very nice to win at City. It's all tightening up now! Spurs two points off the lead and 10 points clear of 5th place. Things can go wrong in a hurry, but you have to like being 10 points up on a European slot with 12 matches left. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HR 'behind the curve' in addressing strategic issues
In the case of strategic HR planning, it seems to a be a matter of too much to do, and too little time to do it.
A new report out from the Hackett Group reveals HR departments are behind the curve when it comes to addressing major goals in organizations, including aligning talent strategies to business needs, dealing with critical talent and skill shortages and embracing new technologies. That's because, human resources professionals say, they're held back by limited resources, flat or decreasing budgets and too many responsibilities, making it hard to deal with more strategic goals for their companies.
The consulting firm surveyed 180 HR executives and found that while they had ambitions about company goals — and recognized the importance of such goals — they rated themselves low in being able to perform key initiatives. The most critical enterprise goals that HR organizations rated themselves least able to support were: adapting talent management strategies and processes to deal with changing business needs; dealing with shortages of talent and critical skills; implementing organizational change more effectively; improving the development of agile executives who can lead effectively in a volatile business and organizational context; and supporting enterprise innovation initiatives.
Taken together, says Scott Leuchter, the Hackett Group's global people and HR transformation practice leader, these critical development areas "represent a huge deficit in the capabilities that businesses require most from HR organizations."
The problem is, says Harry Osle, the firm's global HR practice leader, is that HR departments are stuck dealing with the day-to-day.
"Most HR organizations are simply too busy fighting fires to get out in front on strategic issues," he says. "In many cases they are in reactive mode, with too much on their plate and an inability to say no to work that does not allow HR to become more strategic."
The number of full-time equivalent HR employees is expected to decline by 1.4% this year, on top of a decline of 1.3% last year, the report said. And budgets are projected to decrease by an average of 1.6%, compared to a reduction of 0.3% in 2016.
Also significantly, most HR execs said they were not prepared to deal with new digital technologies, even though they said they expect technology to "fundamentally change the performance and service delivery model of HR organizations over the next few years." Less than half (47%) have an HR digital transformation strategy, and just 34% said they possess the resources and skills necessary for successful execution today.
See also: 21 innovators who are transforming benefits technology
There is some good news in the report: HR leaders said they planned to address several major shortcomings in 2017. The top priority was talent-related changes, followed by weaknesses in HR technology and information capabilities and organizational structure/processes.
But experts say they aren't holding their breath.
"Given the broad and ambitious change agenda and budgets that will remain flat at best for a majority of organizations, [our] assessment is that it is doubtful that resources currently in place will be sufficient to make all of the improvements necessary to close HR's substantial capability gaps," the Hackett Group report said.
To really deliver on strategic value for organizations, Osle says, organizations must change the mindset that they have too much on their plate.
"To build a real leadership position within the organization, it is essential that HR find ways to more effectively manage and prioritize its service portfolio, adopt proactive demand management techniques from IT and make headway on transformation and improvements in key talent areas," he says.

Gabrielle Aplin is back with new music in the form of Nothing Really Matters.
The song features gleaming glacial pop production from Lostboy and finds Gabrielle celebrating positivity and self-love.
Nothing Really Matters is taken from Gabrielle Aplin's forthcoming third album, due for release later this year through AWAL. The major global deal is a new partnership between AWAL and Gabrielle's own successful label Never Fade Records.
Regarding the single, Gabrielle says: "Nothing Really Matters is about the battle between the excitement of wanting to open up, and the fear of opening up
"I was having one of those days where I questioned the validity and importance of everything around me, and how much time, energy and thought I gave to things that really, didn't matter. It's about focusing on what's really important to you.
"I wanted to push myself vocally, challenge the way I think about structure in a song, experiment with how I say what I need to say lyrically, whilst still focusing on what it is that makes me the artist I am. This song has really pushed me and surprised me and I'm so excited to release it into the world!"
Nothing Really Matters displays the wonderful diversity of Gabrielle Aplin as both a pop star and songwriter. Whether she is singing a stripped back piano ballad or a huge pop song, her lyrical content and emotive vocal delivery remain at the forefront of her music.
Fans will be able to get the first taste of new music

I was talking to my aunt R and asking how my pregnant cousin J is doing, if she's had a sonogram etc. She said that my cousin wanted the 3D sonogram, and I commented that they first appeared on the scene about the time I was pregnant with my youngest. And from the other side of the den my clone said "oh stop talking about that." Thinking she meant that she didn't want me to talk about her, I said "I wasn't talking about you"
"Noo, I don't wanna hear all that pregnancy stuff."
Aunt R said "hmm...somebody doesn't want to lose their place." I'm inclined to agree.

CHERUBS Helps Families of Babies Born with Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia
My mother found CHERUBS when I was pregnant with my 1st son Claude, he passed away at 10 days old. They were a great support system during this time. Little did I know that almost 5 years later I would need them again when my 3rd child Celie was born with CDH. Celie is 5 now and I am so lucky to have such a awesome group of moms and dads to share this journey with. All the good CHERUBS does to bring awareness to this little known birth defect as well as advocating for research leaves me with hope that my children will never have to go through what we did as parents when they decide to have children. Pictured above is Lil Claude and then Celie now at 5 yrs old" - DeAnn McGilberry

Existence is the most insane scientific fact.
As the world's frequencies continue to be raised, your purpose becomes the priority theme determining your actions. You begin to cleanse your life, as you order your mind and self-explore. What are you currently trying to let go of? What are you trying to accomplish? Your actions are not meaningless. Why do you exist?
Change comes through the process of simply breathing. We change every second, and this often pushes us to make decisions and act on the fulfilment of plans. This is why spending time surrounded by nature on a regular basis can truly make a huge difference in your life. It is resetting your vibrational field and aligning it with the pure energy of the planet. It helps you become grounded and enjoy the moment. It opens your mind to new information and sparks your genius.
Curiosity is a non-violent act. Questioning all that you know about reality is often a sign of evolution and emotional independence in today's world; even if the media and governments refuse to acknowledge it. The more questions you ask, the more doors you will open. Society needs become free from social conditioning and achieve a state of integral individuality.
To know oneself is to know the world.
To change oneself is to change the world.
To save oneself is to save the world.
Too much chaos leads to confusion.
Too much order leads to boredom.
Both, confusion and boredom inspire you.
Balance is a juxtaposed experience
The journey never ends, the game expands. You will continue to encounter challenges that make you grow and learn. The difference is that you can become in tune with your mental cycles and be always one step ahead, prepared for the upcoming shifts. It feels peaceful when you take charge of your destiny and consciously stir your directions. Letting go is decluttering, and equally, decluttering is letting go. The more change you incorporate into your daily life, the more epiphanies you will experience.
It is beautiful,
the way minds can add order to the accumulated chaos,
and achieve harmony through conflict.
Detach from all to contemplate all from a centred perspective. Use your own experiences and that of others to avoid repeating mistakes. Feel the deep connection you have with the rest of the world, and notice that we are all connected. Become everyone. Become no one.
Become YOU.

Anyone know of a source of HO boxes since Reboxx has seemed to go south?
I'm looking for sizes with lids of approximately 10"x3.5"x2" and 14"x3.5"x2". Cut-out foam liners would be requred. I hope this passes moderator standards as I need boxes to store literally hundreds of models.
Many thanks,
You could try Uline.
My You Tube
Are you going to be using an individual box for each car?
Try PaperMart. They have many different sizes of corrugated mailing boxes that are about the size you're looking for. Go to https://www.papermart.com/mailing-boxes/id=18887-index. There is a place to enter the sizes you need so that you can sort.
You are on your own for liners.
Spring Mills Depot. I have bought some and they appear quite sturdy, if a bit ungainly due to size. They are for storage not shipping but I assume storage is really want you want.
Dave Nelson
mbinsewiYou could try Uline. https://www.uline.com/ Mike.
There are boxes that can be custom folded to various sizes.
George In Midcoast Maine, 'bout halfway up the Rockland branch
Accurail sells them, thats where I got mine as I preped for a move.
I used large tupaware containers to store the freight cars. Walmart has pleny of boxes at various sizes. It's worth trying.
I use 5000 count "baseball card" boxes for storing & transporting my HO scale rolling stock & locos See example below
I get them from a local sports memoribilia shop owner for 4 bucks each
The number of cars they will hold depends on size & type car...each compartment will hold over 100' of HO car length in two layers with plenty of room for foam on the bottom & between layers.
so 10 auto racks, 20 50' box cars or hoppers etc
The way they are made they can be stacked with weight of the upper boxes transferred thru the lid to the sides & dividers of the box(es) below..have never experience damage to contents
If you're looking for "Fancy" boxes it just so happens that Brass Trains just listed a new supply.
Maybe Dan could work out a quantity discount for you?
Regards, Ed

I've had three dozen of the Accurail boxes on back order from my LHS (through Walthers) since late last October. In no hurry so I haven't checked to see if they are available direct. Even so, their boxes are a tad undersized for Howard.
Accurail sells them, thats where I got mine as I preped for a move.
I ordered mine direct.
I ordered mine direct.
How many did you order? And did they soak you badly for postage and handling or was it reasonable?
like 30 or so if I remember right, postage was cheap but that was about 2 years ago.
Will call them with a potential phone order. Need to get some Bettendorf frames at the same time and should be able to combine the shipping.

Tomorrow I will be joining a vast community of bloggers (wedding and non-wedding alike) in a Bloggers Day of Silence.
For Japan With Love (initiated by Utterly Engaged and Ever Ours) was created to raise disaster relief awareness and to give our undivided attention to "those who can no longer speak and to those in pain."
If you're able to give, please click here and donate funds to Shelter Box USA before March 31st. Shelter Box provides emergency shelter and lifesaving supplies for families around the world affected by disasters, and they have collected over $25,000 to aid victims of the recent earthquake and tsunamis.
It's not surprising that, on a day of silence, our actions speak the loudest.
Thank you all,
March 17, 2011
