About MTP[edit]
- MTP - Media Transfer Protocol (originally described by Microsoft), is designed to transfer of music files on digital audio players and media files on portable media players, as well as personal information on personal digital assistants. MTP also supports a Digital Rights Management (DRM) service for the Windows Media platform.
- Why MTP over USB Mass Storage device Class (MSC) ?
- USB mass-storage device class (MSC) operates at the granularity of a mass storage device block rather than at the logical file level. In practice, therefore, when a USB host computer has mounted an MSC partition, it assumes absolute control of the storage, which then may not be safely modified by the device until the host computer has severed the connection. Furthermore, because the host computer has full control over the connected storage device, there is a risk that the host computer may corrupt the file system, reformat it to a file system not supported by the USB device, or otherwise modify it in such a way that the USB device cannot completely understand it.
- While device is connected as USB mass storage, only host computer can access/modify contents on mounted data. Device will not have any control to access the data.
- MTP specifically overcome this issue by making the unit of managed storage a local file rather than an entire (possibly very large) unit of mass storage at the block level. In this way, MTP works like a transactional file system - either the entire file is written/read or nothing. The storage media is not affected by failed transfers.
- Support
- As opposed to USB Mass Storage, a number of operating systems do not support MTP out of the box. Some even require third-party software. Windows and MAC OS has inbuilt supports MTP while Ubuntu and other Linux distributions requires addition packages to be installed for the same.
Android ICS support on device mode[edit]
When a Micro-B type plug is plugged into the OTG port, it will act as a Device.
In device mode, Android ICS supports the following different types of Android gadgets:
- MTP/PTP (Media Transfer Protocol/ Picture Transfer Protocol)
- ADB (Android Debugger)
- RNDIS (USB Tethering)
Note: TI Android DevKit release - "TI-Android-ICS-4.0.3-DevKit-3.0.1" only supports ADB at present. Mentioned wiki will provide detailed guideline on how to integrate MTP support to TI android DevKit release.

Modern technologies allow to minimize the consequences of movements disorders of people with neuromuscular diseases by providing the necessary technical aids. Such support for people with disabilities gives a state, but in Latvia, due to the large waiting period and an extremely narrow range, a lot of patients are unable to get the necessary funds right now. This negatively affects the patient's health and quality of life.
The budget of most families in Latvia, where there is a patient with ALS or other neuromuscular group disease does not allow to buy the necessary aids to the patient, as they are quite expensive. It is necessary to co-finance, which can be provided through donations, that organizes and controls the organization of people with special needs MOTUS VITA.
On doctor's orders, ergotherapist selects the necessary technical aid to the patient. The Society of People with Disabilities MOTUS VITA http://www.motusvita.lv/ , has seven years of such activities experience and finds the necessary means from its European partners and delivers it to the patient.
Your help makes life easier for many people!

Day hike
Gear: snowshoes
Map: USGS Mowich Lake
Area: Mount Rainier NP
Stats: 11.38mi, 1516' gain (round trip)
Mowich Lake is a great Winter trip. It's fun to snowshoe the road, the views of the snow covered lake, trees, and patrol cabin are nice. This area is PACKED in the summer since you can drive nearly all the say to the lake, there is a very busy campground there. In the Winter, the place is deserted.
Kim and I hiked, snowshoed really, to the lake. Had lunch atop a picnic table covered with several feet of snow.
Watch out for the camprobbers (jays)...they'll steal your lunch. Kim was warned...she didn't believe me until she lots her sandwich...

Your god-given Purpose
"But I had concern for my holy name, which the house of Israel had profaned among the nations when they came." ~ Ezekiel 36:21
When it comes to the topic of wondering what our God-given purpose is, Ezekiel chapter thirty-six gives a pretty solid answer. Before we dig into Ezekiel, let's take a moment to simply define what purpose means.
According to Dictionary.com
purpose. [pur-puhs]
- : the reason for which something exists or is done
- : the reason for which something is made
- : an intended design
I've worked with people for years who are trying to answer this one, GIANT, question: "What is my purpose?" (I am no exception). Along the way I began to notice people become paralyzed with fear, obsessed with finding this 'thing' that they were placed on this earth for, jumping from church to church trying to find this sense of purpose. Did God really intend for it to be that difficult?
Ironically, the idea of finding purpose seems to cause many individuals to miss out on Living Life To The Fullest! We spend more time researching it, than actually living it.
If you are looking for some great inspiration about how you are special and how God has big plans for you, then you may be disappointed by this post. Now… I do believe that you are special and God definitely has big plans for you, but we may define these ideas differently. If you really want to know what scripture says about your purpose, then keep reading. You may find that your search is over and find yourself living with purpose in just a few moments.
Back to Ezekiel
In the book of Ezekiel, we find Israel in Babylonian Captivity because of their disobedience. God had chosen Israel to be His special people, His set apart people. He gave them provision, promise, protection, and inheritance. However, Israel began to serve idol Gods (anything that divides your heart or steals your affection and trust in God). They disobeyed the Torah (God's Holy Laws). They even began shedding the blood of their own children. They broke the commandment to keep the Sabbath. The nation of Israel made a choice to step outside of God's covenant of promise and the outcome is found in Ezekiel 36:18-20.
- So I poured out my wrath upon them for the blood that they had shed in the land, for the idols with which they had defiled it. I scattered them among the nations, and they were dispersed through the countries. In accordance with their ways and their deeds I judged them. But when they came to the nations, wherever they came, they profaned my holy name, in that people said of them, 'These are the people of the Lord, and yet they had to go out of his land.'
The nations were mocking the people of God because God's people were powerless. This meant the God of the Universe looked powerless in the sight of other nations!
What does this have to do with our purpose?
Ezekiel 36:21 is where we get to the topic of purpose. God says:
- "But I had concern for my holy name, which the house of Israel has profaned among the nations to which they came."
God is about to turn the tables and speak to Israel with some pretty amazing promises. It is within these promises that He answers this age old question: "Why Am I Here"? Let's first look at what God says he is going to do:
- I will gather you from all of the countries and bring you into your own land
- I will sprinkle clean water on you and you will be cleansed from all of your idol worship
- I will give you a new heart (a heart of flesh where God can write his Torah, God's Holy Commands)
- I will put my Spirit within you (a helper that will empower you to keep the Torah, God's Holy Commands)
- I will give you abundance
- I will cause waste places to be rebuilt
- I will make the desolate land like the Garden of Eden again
- I will increase my people
WOW! Just look at this list, isn't this the Abundant Life, the Truly Fulfilled life? A life where people are empowered to follow God wholeheartedly and where there is increase and power in their midst.
Why Am I Here?
In the midst of all of these future promises (which we live in today, thanks be to Jesus) God answers this question:
- It is not for your sake, O house of Israel, that I am about to act, but for the sake of my holy name…
- Then the nations around you shall know that I am the LORD; I have rebuilt the ruined placed and replanted that which was desolate
We are here to make known the Glorious Power and Goodness of our God.
In the beginning: God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them. (Genesis 1:27)
Partakers of the Divine Nature: Through the Holy Spirit we are partakers of a Divine Nature and because of this we are empowered to become more like Christ (the express image of God's Glory). We add to our faith virtue, knowledge, self-control, steadfastness, godliness, brotherly affection, and love… We become fruitful and God is seen and made known in our abundantly blessed lives.
You can start living with purpose right now
We were created to express the glory of God and the Holy Spirit is given to make this possible. Refer back to Ezekiel chapter 36 and consider the following:
- What did Israel do that caused God's name to be profaned (weak, blasphemed, cursed…)?
- What did God promise Israel, in the future, that would enable them to follow His Torah (Holy Commands)?
- What would be the outcome of Israel obeying God and His ways?
- Through Christ, every race is welcome to partake in the promise of the Holy Spirit. What is your purpose as a Spirit-filled believer?
- What needs to happen today, for you to start walking in purpose?
In upcoming posts I will address "What is my calling"? and "What is my assignment?". My desire is to release us from this undo pressure so that we can start living as the people the God created us to be.
I recognize there are still a lot of questions around this topic and that individuals are really struggling with insecurities and confidence. This is why I created the course called "Becoming Who God Created You To Be." If you would like to know more, you can take this course for FREE online: Click Here

Locking latches, pin lock for increased support. Removable top, fold-up design for increased portability. All Rockville pro audio cables are made with 100% copper which boosts the efficiency of the cable. There is nothing better than 100% copper.
Most of the cheaper cables on the market do not use 100% copper, instead they make their cables with CCA (Copper Clad Aluminum). CCA cables do not perform on the level that 100% copper cables perform at. CCA will not conduct signals efficiently.
A 12 gauge CCA cable will not even perform as well as a 14 gauge 100% pure copper cable, which will in turn, affect the performance and longevity of your equipment. Rockville pays an inspection company to oversee the manufacturing of the product to ensure that we provide a 100% Oxygen Free Copper Cable (OFC). Our OFC cables are less prone to oxidation, and will provide maximum signal transfer. The other important factor of a cable is the shielding. Most of the good brands on the market have about 85% shielding coverage, so we decided to take our shielding a step further.
Rockville cables are shielded with a tight copper mesh, covering 90% of the cable! The high percentage of coverage increases the ability to absorb the Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) and Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) that suppresses signal and degrades the performance of equipment. Rockville Cable's copper shielding provides great flexibility, maintains a durable structural integrity, while decreasing signal interference ensuring enhanced signal clarity with every use.

[Verse 1]
North side shit, you can find me out on beaver ruin
Up inside a Cutlass or a Buick
Instead of hating on it just salute it
Don't [?] my car [?] better than [?] what else are you in
The police pulled me over, I was cooling
Tried to say that I was under the influence
Well I was on the brew and on a pill
Said I got a script, tell em I don't distribute it
I got a plan, it's time to execute it
A while ago while i was going through it
Now I'm looking like I'm MJ
Dunking on a bunch of Patrick Ewings, like like you and
Your money grow a ton, your ho be chewing
But fuck em, I ain't into rescuing, but you can
I'm smoking on that Cali when I flew in
Bought a 77 you know I'm bout to go tattoo it
My group be kicking it on Steve Reynolds road
You want to holler, meet me at the Dollar General
I'm with a Slum bitch by the name of Vindigo
She know to twerk it like she working on the stripper pole
A playmate face, body like a centerfold
I get her hooked, leave her squirming on my fishing pole
I get a stack of Benjamins up in the envelope
It's time to let em know it's 7-7-0, cause I…
Started in the A, now it's nation wide
All around the world I be getting love
Look at how I do it, I ain't got to try
So fly, man it's in my blood
And I'm sitting straight
I'm living good
Want to hate on me, I wish you would
I'm sitting straight
I'm living good
Getting money that you wish that you could
I put my foot in a brand new pair of Js
Everywhere we go, people stare at us
I was born to be a star, I ain't got to try
I'm so fly, man it's in my blood
And I'm sitting straight
I'm living good
Want to hate on me, I wish you would
I'm sitting straight
I'm living good
Getting money that you wish that you could
[Verse 2]
You know I party every day like it's the weekend
We was getting drunk at 3pm
Eyes leaning like I'm a Korean
Drinking Jameson, it's got me feeling European
These bitches showing titties on my DM
Chiefing Colorado with my G-Pen
Haters, they don't really want no beef, nah
He'll turn a hater to a vegan, now beat it
Now beat them up and leave them on the cement
Swimming in the money, stick your feet in
My tour manager now my GM
He be standing on the bitches at the lobby in the Sleep-Inn
And we ain't even peek, this a prelim'
My life is like a movie you can see it, so peep it
I'm leaning in my colors, playing who's that creeping in your window
In a ski mask, these motherfuckers sleeping
I be representing for the north side of Atlanta
I stand out in a crowd so they start pulling out their camera
Bout to speed it up, I slow it down so there ain't no misunderstanding
That I'm bout to blow, when I drove [?] minimum [?]
Area, you know they disappearing, them dope
And they know I
[Verse 3]
You know I got internet trippin' on my new release
Killing the industry like I went on a shooting spree
My pockets finally growing up, they went through puberty
I spent a couple hundred dollars on my shoes at least
I got your boo stripping, coming out of Gucci jeans
Some more weed and a bottle of booze to drink
And baby blue '82 Caprice, if you cool I'mma take it down a few degrees
And you know I

London, Milan, Paris and New York; the catwalk shows are in full swing as we speak. Although many designers are still yet to showcase, there have been some interesting collections on display over the last few months. We think it is the perfect time to see what is up and coming on the catwalk this summer. So that all you fashion conscious men can prepare yourself with the hottest trends, for summer 2016.
Statement Jackets
If there's one thing that the Milan fashion show proved to us, it's that statement jackets are going to be a staple for summer 2016. Yes, jackets in summer. Each designer offered something unique as far as this outerwear trend goes. While some stuck to the plain and simple, in hues of grey, others opted for something OTT. Philipp Plein stole the show with his statement jackets, stepping outside of the sombre box offered by other designers. A mismatch of colours and fabrics pulled the Hip Hop inspired style together. Whatever the weather, a statement jacket will be a must-have for spring and summer, in 2016.
Feminine Chic
It's becoming more and more popular for menswear and womenswear to come together, fusing as one. If the Gucci collection at Milan was anything to go by, feminine chic will be big business in summer 2016. We saw a lot of lacy shirts and shorts from Gucci, which will be interesting to see reflected on the high street. Some have called this designer's catwalk creations masterfully mixed up, with a real hint of girl power. Versace was another designer to embrace this spring/summer trend. We can't wait to see how it translates to everyday wear.
As usual, there was a real focus on men's accessories on the catwalk. With so many grey hues seen, as with the statement jackets, it was refreshing to see these outfits spruced up. There were a lot of man bags and leather strapped watches, to make some of the duller looking outfits pop. In fact, the Shinola watches for men are a prime example of the fashion trends for both this summer and next. Scarves were also seen on the catwalk, for the S/S 2016 collection. It seems as though the designers are expecting a blustery summer next year.
All through Milan fashion week there were flashes of velvets on the men's catwalk. One of the most eye-catching pieces was a crushed-velvet Marc Jacobs jacket, in Ivory. Some designers are still playing around with this fabric and the look doesn't seem to be refined enough yet. We saw some rather tragic looking velvet flares, for example. Let's just hope that trend doesn't take off. The velvet jackets are something we can see being popular as part of the statement outerwear trend, however.
Finally, let's take a look at some of the most popular colours on the catwalk this season. As mentioned, we've seen a lot of grey hues. There have also been plenty of blues. It's all very reminiscent of a cloudy, rainy day. There were some pops of colour from designers such as Gucci and Burberry, however. Especially in their lacy and more feminine pieces. It looks like dark and brooding will be the overall order of the day.
The catwalk shows are still taking place, and so there is a lot more to be seen. We're looking forward to seeing what else takes centre stage, over the next few weeks and months.

With an interest in attending medical school In the future, Jasmin Adams discovered medical simulation while in the Biomedical Sciences master's degree program at PCOM Georgia. In fact, she has just accepted a position as a simulation educator in Asheville, North Carolina.
Adams has known that she wanted a career in health care since childhood. Her stepfather, a chiropractor, instilled in her "a love for holistic care practices." She was able to shadow him, along with multiple other specialists, while in high school.
She chose to earn a master's degree as a way to prepare for the MCAT and the rigors of medical school.
Along the way, she discovered medical simulation and decided to concentrate in this area. She is "excited to have found a position in the field."
In the next few years, Adams has dreams of pursuing an osteopathic medicine degree, specializing in obstetrics/gynecology, and one day opening a birthing center.
"Black women in the United States experience disproportionately high rates of death related to pregnancy and childbirth. My hope is to become an OB/GYN and to help bridge the gap in this health disparity."
Adams chose to attend PCOM Georgia because of the curriculum and program concentrations. While here, she said she learned "not to take free time for granted."
"I've had to learn to master the art of balancing a social life, personal time and studying which has not been easy."
It's her mother who most inspires her. She is graduating this month with a PhD in Counseling Education from the University of South Carolina.
"Her work ethic and determination have been my inspiration to keep going during the difficult days of graduate school," Adams said.
"Witnessing all the challenges she's overcome to get to the place she is now has been such a blessing to watch. It's like having my own personal Wonder Woman!"

Paladins weren't the only ones to get some attention from the crab last night. The Balance Druid post wasn't an especially information-filled post, but mostly served as a reminder that even though the devs may not respond to your threads, they are paying attention. Ghostcrawler explains that whlie she may be focusing more heavily on Feral Druids, that doesn't mean she isn't aware of Balance's needs. She clarifies their role in a raid (caster, duh), and states a Moonkin's needs to meet that role. She lists the following:
- Competitive dps. Mages and warlocks just tend to get a lot of attention, maybe because there are more of them, or more races of them, or they are more archetypal classes (in the familiarity sense).
- Good AoE utility. Encounters and dungeons tend to get designed with the assumption that the ranged DPS can do AoE. Hurricane is phenomenal now. I healed a run today and did really competitive dps with Hurricane on the ranged pulls. And I wasn't even Balance! I love Starfall. It's a rare spell because it feels new -- it isn't single target and it isn't classical Hurricane-style AoE either.

Get One of the Best Pork Chops You'll Ever Have for Less Than PHP100 at Atoy's Pork ChopFebruary 15, 2019

Atoy's Pork Chop is one of those eateries that is frequented in the wee hours of the night thanks to its 24-hour status, but don't be deceived into thinking that makes it a "just for drunchies" place. It is anything but. Even in the middle of the day, a serving of their freshly cooked pork chop hits the spot with its salty browned exterior.
The al-fresco dining area of Atoy's is simple, clean, and breezy (if you're lucky to catch the breeze). It feels spacious in the light of day, which is just what you'll need when you unbutton your jeans for your second order of pork chop.

Humans are engaged in a never-ending battle to regulate their emotional and physiological states. This ranges from simple stuff, like keeping our body temperature within a certain narrow range, to more complicated stuff like managing our emotional state, usually trying to keep it positive in the face of various challenges and upsets.
The latter can be difficult, and it's all too easy to default toward short-cut solutions with long term costs, like overuse of caffeine, sugar, alcohol, or entertainment, or drugs with potentially serious side-effects.
Late summer here in NYC was recently interrupted by a few days of cloudy weather, which reminded me (and somehow I'm always surprised) just how fast I get cranky when I can't see the sun. It usually takes no more than a day or so of this to make me start feeling like an angsty teenager.
As such, as soon as I realized what was going on, I broke out my feel-better toolbox, and started working through it. I'll recount the highlights here, in the hope that some or all of it will be helpful to you next time you're feeling less like your usually chipper self.
No given thing here is that likely to make a large, permanent boost in your overall feeling of well-being – unless, for example, you go from never exercising to exercising frequently. However, all of them can reliably make for a small, consistent boost.
When you're feeling down, or even just in need of a slight lift, this article will give you a big toolbox of stuff to draw from. If you're in a slump and can't be productive, just pick something and do it. If that doesn't work, pick another. Odds are that you'll soon find the thing or combination of things that finally pushes you over the line from "not motivated" to "motivated enough," without indulging in bad habits that you'll pay for later.
The thing to remember is that just over that line is almost a valuable as way over it, and that just over is a lot easier to do consistently. The difference between "not motivated" and "motivated enough" is WAY larger than the difference between "extremely motivated" and "motivated enough."
Sweat – Even Just a Little
In college and parts of grad school, I used to be a bit of a gym rat. Well, maybe not quite serious enough to be a gym rat – think of me as a gym mouse. I went frequently, I rarely spent less than an hour, and I chugged A LOT of protein powder and was a little bit addicted to pre-workout drinks with excessively macho names.
Now, there were some benefits to this, but it isn't sustainable and puts you well past the point of diminishing returns after awhile.
For starters, those pre-workout drinks can have some weird ingredients and often leave you more wired than you should be, which can mess with your sleep. They're also not clearly any more effective than a good cup of coffee, while costing way more.
And as to all that protein powder – let's just say your gastrointestinal tract just wasn't designed for that much processed protein traffic and leave it at that, shall we?
If you do want to put on 30 pounds of muscle, use a simple program like Starting Strength. It will show you the important exercises, on a plan that's a reasonable time commitment.
If you want strength without having to go to a gym, calisthenics are the way to go. Pushups, pullups, leg lifts, bodyweight squats, and especially the mighty handstand/handstand pushup and back bridge (my personal favorite), if you do them frequently and at the right number of reps and intensity, can make you very fit with low risk of injury, and can be done with a small time commitment just about anywhere. You Are Your Own Gym is a great start here.
If you really want to make calisthenics effective for gaining strength, do them quasi-isometric, that is to say, do the exercises really, really slow. It hurts, but it's very effective with low risk of injury. I use this sometimes for pushups, bodyweight squats, pullups, and back bridges.
To combine calisthenics with cardio, do a Tabata workout. This just means that you do an exercise as hard/fast as you can for 20 seconds, then rest for ten seconds. Repeat that 8 times for the same exercise, then rest for 30 seconds. Then repeat with a different exercise. Do that four times, 16 minutes in total, and you're done – and pleasantly exhausted. These days, most of my workouts are this.
My preferred sequence is running in place, followed by burpees (basically a pushup followed by a vertical jump, repeated multiple times quickly), followed by back bridges, followed by vertical jumps.
If you really want it fast and basic, just do the 7 minute workout
I sorely (heh) neglected stretching in my gym rat days, and that was a mistake.
Not only does stretching improve your results while helping to prevent injury, it makes you feel GREAT if you do it right. Doing it right generally means holding each stretch for about 90 seconds or more, and doing it hard enough that it isn't quite comfortable (don't overdo it and hurt yourself).
I'm no expert, and there are plenty of good resources out there. I mostly learned from Gymnastic Bodies, but there are any number of other resources, either free or cheap, that will show you the basics of what you need.
This very much depends on you and your needs, but I personally put heavy emphasis on stretching my quads/hamstrings, back (mostly through the back bridge), and chest/shoulders. I hold each stretch for 2 minutes and most of my sessions last about 15 minutes. If I've worked out that day, I stretch right after.
I've found that stretching consistently gives me a rush of endorphins – the same stuff that runner's high comes from – and makes me feel better the rest of the day and helps me sleep.
In fact, sometimes I'll also stretch right before bed, especially if I'm still feeling awake and think I might have trouble sleeping.
This is a really big one. Everyone knows you need sun for vitamin D, but it goes way beyond that. I don't even know all the details but in addition to vitamin D it also boosts your serotonin (which is important for keeping you in a good mood, among other things) and testosterone (which also boosts your mood and energy, especially if you're a guy).
I spent 5 years in Seattle, which is cloudy most of the time, and the cost to my happiness and productivity was HUGE. I always made a point to get outside, especially in those rare moments when the sun was out, but this wasn't quite enough.
These days, weather permitting, I try to get outside and get as much sun as I can on my skin and eyes for 20 to 30 minutes. Obviously you have to be careful to avoid excessive sun exposure, especially if you're naturally pale like me, but those 20 minutes (with no sunscreen, no glasses, and usually no shirt) make a BIG difference in my mood and productivity.
This is hardly revolutionary advice, but a good walk is worth a lot. Even if it's just a short walk around the block to clear your head.
I add this not because it's profound but because it works and is very easy to neglect or forget about.
The thing about focus is that you really cannot sustain it with intensity for much of your waking hours. To make sure your focus is at a maximum when you really need it, it should be deliberately rested at regular intervals. There are several ways to do this. One is clearing your mind, so you're not really focusing on anything (more on that below), but another effective way is by de-focusing or letting your focus and attention wander in an undirected way.
Walks are one of the best ways to do this. In fact, they somewhat require it, because as you move through the world your attention is naturally moving around as you navigate, avoid running into lamp posts or other pedestrians, etc.
This nice thing about this is that it keeps your mind somewhat active but the lack of forced direction is restful. Also, as your mind wanders, you're more likely to spontaneously generate ideas.
So, next time you're frustrated, or your too tired to get real work done, don't default to surfing the web. Get up and walk for a bit. This will allow your mind to rest while also setting your subconscious free to make creative leaps.
(Smart) Sugar
It's virtually a foregone conclusion that most Americans eat way too much of it and should seriously cut back. Excessive sugar consumption is bad for just about everything. It's bad for your health, it's bad for your energy levels and focus and it can even prematurely age you even if it's not making you gain weight.
That said, it's worth thinking about WHY so many people find it so easy to overdo.
Some of it is just habit, but a lot of it is the fact that the taste and quick elevation of blood sugar levels do give you a quick rush of energy and happy chemicals. Obviously this comes at a cost if you do it too much, but this effect can be valuable IF you know how to harness it correctly.
There are several things you need to know to do this.
In general, your sugar intake should be the minimum necessary to achieve the desired effect (that is, that it tastes good, and there's enough of it increase your blood sugar a little bit). Also, it should get to your bloodstream slowly rather than quickly – which you can accomplish by consuming it with fat and/or fiber.
The best way to achieve these things is to use good sources of minimally processed sugar, such as low-sugar dark chocolate or berries (especially with yogurt), or something like an RXBar.
These things have just enough sugar to give you energy and taste good and due to fat and/or fiber deliver that sugar reasonably slowly.
(Sort of) Sleep
I have a complicated relationships with naps.
For one thing, I don't fall asleep quickly most of the time, unlike my Dad, who can power nap at will and wake up bright-eyed and ready to go for hours.
If you're one of these people, you're set. If you're not, read on.
In addition to not being able to fall asleep quickly, when I do sleep, I sleep hard and heavy, which can mean the nap often runs overtime and leaves me both groggy for a while after I wake up AND makes it harder for me to sleep at night.
Over the past few years I found a solution to these problems. I call the general set of techniques "Accelerated Downtime" (discussed in much more detail in my course), but a key part of it is brief, waking rest aided by binaural beats.
Binaural beats are an auditory illusion created when two slightly different pure tones are played in either ear. For some reason, when you do this, you perceive a third, much lower frequency tone, and for some other reason, this effect can work really well for putting you into various mental states, such as alert, relaxed, daydreaming, etc.
I haven't found any particularly good explanations of why this works, but I definitely does work well for a lot of people, including me. I've found that binaural beats in the theta range are excellent for resting and relaxing, so if I'm feeling really tired, stressed, sad, or anxious, I lay down and close my eyes, preferably in a dark, quiet room, and play theta waves through my headphones for between 5 and 20 minutes. I use an iPhone app (there are lots of good apps for this, just search for "binaural beats"), but you can try it here:
Note that you have to play this through headphones or earbuds – the effect doesn't really work through speakers.
I find that 5 minutes of this is a good quick break, and by 15 minutes or so, I'm usually in a sort of waking dream state. If I can make it to this waking dream state and then stay there for a few minutes, when I get up, I feel like I've had a good nap, without the grogginess or trouble sleeping later at night.
If I really find my mind still racing or unable to let go of what I was thinking about, I do some box breathing.
Box breathing is easy to learn and most people find it effective for relaxing on command. Simply breathe in deeply as you count to 4, hold the breath for a count of 4, breathe out slowly for a count of 4, then hold with empty lungs for a count of 4, then repeat. All breaths should be deep, and you should breath as if you're pulling air into your stomach, and then pushing it back out. To make it most effective, try to keep it up for at least 5 minutes.
Summing it Up
So, there you have it. These are all little things, but one of them might just be enough to make the difference between a slump and a good day, and if one doesn't, several together probably will. How effective each of them is will depend a lot on you and the exact context you use it in.
Most of these work pretty consistently for me, but exactly how effective they are varies. If one doesn't do it, I keep running down the list. It's a very rare thing that I'm so low that a few of these together won't make me feel at least decent.
When you're down, it's easy to overdo it in an effort to feel better again. Going overboard, like eating a pint of ice cream to spike your energy and mood at one extreme, or spending two hours in the gym at the other, often either has negative consequences down the road or is not sustainable.
However, small, controlled doses of mood- and energy-boosting activities are cheap, easy, and reliable, without negative consequences.
Develop a set of things you know work, and ingrain the habit of defaulting to one of them, or a sequence of them, when you aren't feeling your best.

"I honestly feel like no review I could ever write would do this book justice. It's a beautifully written novel that deserves to be read and re-read. It's enlightening and hopeful even through all the gritty, heart-wrenching, almost physically painful emotional rawness of it.
I felt inspired by the wonderfully brave characters, and I learnt A LOT from their life experiences.
And I felt that basically the message in this novel is: 'It doesn't matter what happens to us, we will rise above it if we have the awareness about who we are and what we are capable of.'
Iman used simple words to narrate a simple, straightforward messages to women and she did it brilliantly. It is a beautiful novel of hardship and hope. Hope triumphs. As it should.
Iman, you're our KHALID El Hosseini female version."

If you have noticed your energy costs skyrocketing once you turn your AC system on, or you have a system that is older than 10 years old, you may be wondering if replacing your system is worth it. It is likely you have heard that an energy efficient air conditioner model is better than an older model; however, you may still be wondering why you should actually replace your current AC and is it really going to benefit your home. Below, the air conditioning experts in Morrow, Ohio explain the benefits of an energy efficient air conditioner and how you can install one in your home.
The Benefits of Installing an Energy Efficient Air Conditioner
There are many reasons why you may want to consider replacing an older model AC with an energy efficient model.
- Cost. One of the more popular benefits is the cost savings. Even though you may have the initial upfront cost of replacing your unit, choosing the right energy-efficient AC unit can greatly reduce your costs.
- Comfort. Another great reason to install an energy efficient AC unit is for comfort reasons. Energy efficient models work smarter, not harder to increase the comfort levels of your home. No more sweating it out even when the air conditioning unit is running.
- Repairs. Installing an energy efficient AC unit will give you fewer reasons to call the repair man. The fact that these units are designed to minimize the on and off cycling that older units do will help reduce stress on your system. This results in a reduction in repairs and a longer life span.
- Freon. As Freon phases out having an older unit could become costly and almost impossible to run. New energy efficient systems do not use Freon so you won't need to worry about the high cost of replacing your systems Freon.
- Clean. Helping the environment is an advantage of an energy-efficient model that you may feel doesn't affect you directly. However, leaving a better environment for our children and grandchildren is a big advantage when it comes to replacing older systems with new energy efficient models.
Choosing an Energy Efficient Air Conditioning Unit
When you are looking for an energy efficient air conditioning model you should be looking for a model with a SEER rating of at least 16. This number will give you a very efficient model and can also help you qualify for some tax rebates. Talk to your local heating and cooling expert to find out which model will work for your home. It is important to have the right size unit to maximize the benefits of an energy efficient air conditioning unit.

Memories Cemetery.

breath in Heaven on April 9, 2019 in Georgia.

As Aaron Rodgers' Family Sings, "Ding Dong The Witch Is GONE…"
If you live near one of Aaron Rodgers' family members, I'm sure you've got a pair of industrial-strength ear plugs shoved into your hearing holes, because you just can't take the sound of them partying and hollerin' while celebrating the fact that may never have to see Olivia Munn's current face live and in person again!
Olivia Munn and Aaron Rodgers got together three years ago, and last year stories came out about how he hasn't seen his family that much, because they don't like that he's gone all celebrity on their asses and they would also rather fuck themselves in the ass with a Japanese potato than hang around her. Aaron's dad, Ed Rodgers, aired his family's dirty laundry out in public by talking to The New York Times and telling them that fame can change people. Aaron's brother Jordan Rodgers, who won The Bachelorette, wah wah wah'd about missing his brother during his hometown date with the chick who picked him.
Aaron kept his lips shut about what his family told the media and he kept on with Olivia. There was a rumor in January that 36-year-old Olivia and 33-year-old Aaron got engaged. But it looks like we won't ever see grainy iPhone camera footage of Aaron's family tackling him on the altar right before he marries Olivia, because they're done. A source spit out this generic break-up statement to People:
"They have amicably ended their relationship of three years," a source close to the situation confirms to PEOPLE exclusively. The source says the couple "remains close friends and wish nothing but the best for each other moving forward."
The scent of bullshit is wafting off of that statement, because when a relationship contract ends, you immediately delete the phone numbers of your piece and your piece's PR team. But I hope that statement is true and that Aaron and Olivia will not only remain close friends, but will become best friends forever. Maybe they'll even become roommates. I mean, Aaron does need a roommate since his last "roommate" moved out a while ago.
So if Olivia and Aaron really are staying friends, then the neighbors of his family members better keep those ear plugs in. Because Aaron's family will let out blood-curdling screams when Aaron brings his best friend Olivia Munn to the "Congratulations, You're Free Of That Evil Bitch!" party they threw for him.

text: Taking care of trees is something that the average homeowner can be a part of. There are tons of resources available on the internet that allows anyone to perform basic tree care. Preservation of trees involves pruning, fertilization, watering, and many of these tasks can be easily done on the regular. Local volunteers can help preserve trees throughout Granite Bay, but they can't do it alone. Nor are they always equipped or experienced enough to determine everything a tree needs. Fallen Leaf Tree Management can provide comprehensive Granite Bay tree service, whether that's pruning, planting, and everything else in between.

Ridgefielder wrote: ↑Tue Aug 27, 2019 12:17 pmI may be the only living user of this forum who actually remembers riding the Danbury branch when it was electrified (How's that for a bizarre distinction?). I rode it before and after the electrics gave way to FL9s and can tell you categorically there was no difference in performance.
Going to reinforce what was said here, as someone who grew up along the Danbury Branch and knows the area well.
The only reason the Danbury Branch was electrified back in 1923 was to eliminate an engine change for the Danbury through trains, and move the changeover for Pittsfield service. After the wire went up on the Danbury they were able to consolidate steam locomotive servicing and shut down facilities in Stamford. Unlike on the rest of the West End of the New Haven, the yards and sidings on the Danbury were never wired, nor was the short branch up the hill from Branchville to Ridgefield Center. Freight remained under steam. It was an economy move for passenger service, pure and simple.
If it had never been electrified, nobody would be talking about electrifying it today. Instead half the locals who know zero about railroad operations see the old Cat poles, see the old pictures, hear stories about how the Berkshire carried a diner and parlor cars "back in grandpa's day" and think stringing up 20 miles of 12.5kV wire will magically give us the Danbury Acela. [end of rant]
Two major service problems occurred over my memory:
1. Deterioration of track. There were two major wrecks: in February 1967 and May 1973. The 1973 wreck resulted in a fatality (ironically of a RR employee who lived in Danbury and commuted to his office in NYC. I knew him slightly). BY mid 1975 the track had been upgraded by CDOT funding. This was the first huge improvement.
2. Closing of the block stations in Branchville (completely) and Wilton (afternoons and nights). This made it inconvenient and caused some delays in evening commute hours because crews were required to either radio or phone to the operator at "Berk" in Norwalk for clearance. That of course remained until the TCS went into effect just a few years ago.
That TCS was the second greatest service improvement.
I have written on this forum on at least three previous occasions that re-electrification will not do a thing to result in further improvement in running times. I say this after many years of riding and closely observing the operation of the line.I can tell you this and tell you this and tell you this until I'm blue in the face and the talk still goes on.
BTW, three historical items:
- first electric operation was June 29 1925. This was long before I was around.
- Last electric operation was January 28 1961. The power was turned off effective Feb. 1. I rode the line once in January 1961 not realizing it would by my last ride under wire.
- I laughed at the comment about "Back in grandpa's day." Well, I am a grandpa and I did ride a parlor car on the line while the New Haven was still running it on weekends. Never rode a diner, though, unless you count the diner and later grill car that were converted to bar cars on one of the commute runs.

Australians are about to experience a perfect storm of holidays with the Easter long weekend running into Anzac Day just two days later. Employers all over the country are bracing themselves for a barrage of official and unofficial leave days. If you haven't made plans already, here are a selection of budget-friendly Easter holiday ideas to get you in vacation mode, including day trips, last minute deals and "staycationing" ideas.
Last minute deals
One of the challenges of going away during popular holiday periods is that prices are inflated. So, whether you're looking for accommodation, flights or car rental, prepare yourself for high season rates. Easter and Anzac Day also coincide with school holidays this year, which is why most caravan parks and camping grounds will have a five-day minimum.
But last minute deals will come up! Skyscanner has a web page dedicated to last minute Easter flight deals, including Sydney to Gold Coast return for $358, Melbourne to Adelaide return for $150, Brisbane to the Whitsundays return for $460, and Adelaide to Sydney return for $215 (current at the time of research). If you're keen to holiday within driving distance of home, try contacting local hotels or holiday parks to enquire about cancellations or "orphaned" (un-booked days) between reservations.
Day trips
One way to slash your holiday costs is to sleep in your own bed. Day trips are a great way to experience the feeling of being on holiday, minus the logistics of travel and the cost of accommodation. To get you started, we've curated a list of Easter egg hunts and other Easter activities from around the country. Click on your state for more Easter activities from Eventbrite—please note that some free activities require online registration.

Melba's Easter Weekend, Woodside, every day of the Easter long weekend, Cost: FREE: face painting, chocolate sampling, colouring competition

Easter Sunday Carnival by Mavis's Kitchen & Events Collective, Uki, 21 April, Cost: $25 kids, $45 adults: music, face painting, Easter Bunny, egg hunt, food and drink included
If the idea of spending your holiday in airports and holiday traffic jams make you hotter and crosser than an Easter bun, you might be well counseled to contemplate "staycationing." Staycationing involves adopting a holiday mentality in the comfort of your own home.
The key to successful staycationing is to release yourself from your usual responsibilities and routines. For example, it's best to clean the house before your staycation begins, not during it. If making dinner is part of your usual routine, cook your meals in advance or budget for takeaway or dining out. Likewise, change the voicemail on your phone to let callers know you're taking a break.
Just as you would if you were holidaying away from home, plan an itinerary for your staycation. School-aged kids love being involved in planning, and creating an itinerary is a good opportunity to talk about budgeting. Friday might be for going to the movies, Saturday for playing board games or doing Easter craft, Sunday for Easter fun in the morning and home movies in the afternoon, Monday for a picnic… you get the picture. Whatever happens, don't let yourself succumb to housework and answering emails!

If you are a follower of my blog you will already know that we have one me, one big dog, two grown men and three children. Keeping the house in tip top condition is no easy feat, but is something I really need to do in order to be able to write, relax or enjoy my home. Something that comes with that mean people trailing in and out all day is dirty. I don't mind a bit of dirty, a bit is okay. I need to scrub my floors on a daily basis to keep them gleaming. When I do, I am often left with a very chemical smell. I find that this is also one of the only ways to help take care of the man feet and dog smell too.
I often make my own air fresheners and cleaners but am left a little short on cleaning power or fragrance. Personally I like a floral fragrance in the home. I have a lot of plants around the house, orchids, ivy, grass plants and that sort of thing, so getting a natural smell is top of my list.
Something that any cleaner in my house has to be is pet friendly. Uggy is a very important member of our family, our adopted doggy not only has a farty bum but sensitive skin. So I was very happy to find this little fact on the Zoflora Pet Hub section of the website:
Fact: While Zoflora does go cloudy in water, this is down to the fragrances being insoluble in water and is not due to the product containing phenol. As a result, Zoflora disinfectant is safe to use around most pets when used correctly.
To most pet owners this will be an important point.
Something that is worth noting is it can be used in a lot of places around your home, floors, sides, toilets, bins, drains, diluted with extra water and used as a spray (which is brilliant as you can make up a few spray bottles for around the house). My Nana always says a clean home is a happy home, and I agree.
There are a list of handy tips on the website as I haven't even listed HALF of the uses here.
The thing that has always made Zoflora stand out for me are the fragrances. I love them. This time I was using Oriental Lily and it smells so close to a perfume I actually use now that I was totally delighted when I first used it.
I reviewed another Zoflora fragrance last year so you can see that I really do love the brand and would highly recommend getting yourself a bottle asap.

Trusting in Faith
"The one who conquers and who keeps my works until the end, to him I will give authority over the nations" Revelation 2:26 (ESV)
Our battle is over us trusting in our works of religion or God's work of believing in Jesus Christ through faith. Unlike things of this world that require our best performance, maximum productivity, or some great accomplishment in order to be elevated or recognized, only those who trust in Jesus through faith alone will reign with Him in His Kingdom.
Let's pray today that we may find our faith in God's work of grace, not our religious efforts.

CSRA (WJBF) – Are you among the millions of Americans who get your insurance though the health care exchange? If so, it's important to keep up with an effort to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act.
For now, the ACA is still the law of the land. And if you missed the deadline to sign up, you'll have to pay the price.
"We will repeal and replace Obamacare".
This campaign promise helped to put President Trump in the White House.
Then in January, the Republican controlled Congress wasted no time laying the groundwork for the repeal of the affordable care act.
But like most legislation, the devil is in the details and repealing the law without replacing it, won't likely sit well with the millions, who thanks to the ACA, now have health insurance.
Lena Willingham signed up for insurance through the health insurance marketplace last year.
Willingham said, "The process wasn't too difficult. It was pretty cut and dry."
Willingham, who owns Lena's Styles Salon in Augusta says she was able to pick her own doctor and had no problem getting appointments.
She also found the premiums surprisingly affordable. So why did she decide not to enroll this year?
Willingham said, "I'd rather not pay into something that I'm not sure is going to be available to me that was my reason for not renewing my plan."
As a result, she'll pay a hefty price.
Melissa Camp said, "This year's penalty is 695 dollars per person or two and a half percent of your income whichever is greater. So that could be a substantial amount of money."
Melissa Camp is with Insure Georgia, A non-profit, non-partisan group.
She and other navigators like Jennifer Boykin helped uninsured Georgians sign up for health insurance.
Boykin remembers one man in particular.
"One of his major concerns was he had very high blood pressure and the medicine he had to pay for. Once he got the coverage, he was able to get those medications and everything else he needed. It was a great feeling being able to help him."
The last date to enroll this year was January 31.
As for Lena Willingham, there may still be a way for her to get insurance despite missing the deadline.
"As a small business employer she can buy for herself through the individual market and she also can purchase through the shop marketplace which is the small business marketplace. That marketplace is open year round."
It could months or even years before the affordable care act is repealed and replaced.
Yet this entrepreneur remains hopeful.
"I was one that did benefit from it. I do hope that they will have something in play when all of this comes to pass."
How long it will be before a new bill passes in Congress remains to be seen.
"When changes are made we will keep the public informed as I am sure the new administration will and we will help people make any changes that are necessary".
