What happens at "The Drill Fitness"
"The Drill Fitness" Circuit Training is different from other classes you may have attended. "The Drill Fitness" Circuit Training consists of short bursts of resistance exercises using a moderate amount of weight and high repetitions, followed by another burst of exercise targeting a different muscle group at each exercise station with little rest in between each station, allowing for a challenging and complete body work-out in 60 minutes. The resistance training drills such as squats require the use of more than one set of joints which helps strengthen muscle and bone tissue. When this happens, your body has to work harder, burning additional calories and also increasing musculoskeletal fitness. The moderate weight training as well as range-of-motion exercises that you will do at "The Drill Fitness" Circuit Training will keep tendons and ligaments pliable and strong, which in turn will improve balance and stability.
These short but powerful bursts of resistance exercises coupled with cardiovascular exercises can accelerate weight loss because your body doesn't have time to get used to the variation circuit training offers. By switching up the muscle groups, little rest is needed and the heart rate goes up and stays up, something that usually doesn't occur in a traditional resistance training session. By moving quickly from one set to the next, layered between sets of cardiovascular reps, your heart and lungs must also continue working, which promotes your aerobic fitness. "The Drill Fitness" Circuit Training works because it causes you to keep pushing your body aerobically, while still challenging your strength.
The great thing is even after you have finished your circuit session you continue to burn calories hours later. As you build muscle, this muscle will burn more calories at rest so your metabolism stays elevated. This is very important, especially for anyone getting older or looking to lose weight. Whilst you do build muscle in circuit training, the biggest gains are seen in endurance. During a single session, you are continuously working your cardiovascular system, this makes it an ideal workout to add to your endurance program, especially those needing a break from running or other high impact sports, but wanting to maintain the benefits of training.

Betty Gabriel
The Oscars red carpet was on fire! Betty Gabriel fiercely pulled off two risky trends in one outfit: deep V-neck plunging neckline and sheer dress. Miraculously, her outfit still looked very sophisticated and elegant.

text: Liam Hemsworth knows that we all know about him and Miley Cyrus. That's the extent of what we can confirm from the Independence Day: Resurgence star's recent cover story for GQ Australia. As Hemsworth put it: "People will figure it out, they already have...They're not dumb." Does that mean they're engaged again, or just that they're just back together? Hemsworth's not going to spell it out, but he doesn't care about the latest tabloid speculation. "I don't read or listen to the press — and these days I don't base my decisions on it at all," he told the magazine. "I base all my decisions on what's happening in front of me, and I'm much happier by doing that." While the story emphasizes that Hemsworth values the privacy he gained from buying a home in Malibu, the actor does reveal a bit more about his first engagement with Cyrus. "I guess when I feel something, then I just feel it and I go for it. I make my decisions about what's going to make me happy, what I think is right and what I want to do — and I don't worry too much outside of that." He also vaguely hinted at why they broke up in 2013. "Of course it was hard, man," he said. "But at the time we were going in different directions, and it's just what needed to happen. We were both super young and it was a good decision at the time — we both needed that."

A calm and down-to-earth barrister, who is also a shrewd negotiator.Legal 500
Helen's personal injury work is split fairly evenly between claimants and defendants. She undertakes all types of personal injury work but has a particular interest in, and experience of, cases involving catastrophic brain injury, serious spinal injury and amputation. Helen also has many years of experience of handling complex liability cases with a particular focus on stress at work and industrial disease (VWF, WRULD and industrial deafness).
Helen represented a number of the Potter's Bar rail crash victims achieving significant out of court settlements on behalf of these claimants. She has also acted for the rail industry for many years and has dealt on their behalf with a number of fatal accidents and high value claims. In 2009 Helen acted for the defendants in a claim brought by the driver of the high speed train which derailed near Penrith (the Grayrigg rail crash).
Helen also has substantial experience of dealing with claims believed to be based on, or to involve, a substantial degree of fraud or conscious exaggeration on behalf of the claimant. On two occasions Helen has successfully applied at the conclusion of a claim to have the matter referred to the Attorney General for the contemplation of contempt proceedings against the claimant.
Helen is a regular contributor to the Farrar's Building Personal Injury newsletter. She has also written articles for the Solicitors Journal on "Fatal Accident claims and Inheritance tax liabilities" and "Passive Smoking and Employers' liabilities". She provides regular seminars to solicitors and recent papers have covered the following topics:

T (A Protected Party) v S and others (2017)
C claimed damages for alleged brain injuries sustained in two road traffic accidents, one when he was aged 12 and a second when he was aged 20. C had a statement of special educational needs prior to the first accident and post accident CT scans demonstrated congenital brain abnormalities. Issues of causation were complex and contentious. Helen was instructed on behalf of the Defendant driver in the first accident. Settlement agreed and approved.
Amin v Legg (2017)
C suffered a whiplash injury in a road traffic accident. An MRI scan taken a year after the accident revealed an unstable C2 fracture. C was advised that he faced the risk of paralysis or death in the event of a further accident or trauma to his neck. C suffered a severe psychological reaction to this diagnosis. It was common ground that C's fracture pre dated the accident and may have been present for many years. Expert opinions diverged as to whether the fracture would have remained symptomless in the absence of the accident. Legal opinion was divided as to whether C was entitled to recover damages in respect of the "unmasking" of his underlying condition. Helen was instructed on behalf of D. The case settled shortly before trial.
O v HM (2017)
Helen acted for C in a professional negligence claim against his former solicitors. C had been a defendant in a fatal accident claim and it was alleged that as a result of the negligent conduct of his defence he had been ordered to pay damages very significantly in excess of those which would have been awarded had he been properly represented. The central issue between the parties was the correct valuation of the fatal accident claim. Case settled at JSM.
Groarke v Fontaine (2014) EWHC 1676
Represented the defendant/appellant in a case which considered the principles governing late amendment of pleadings post Mitchell. D applied on the morning of trial to allege contributory negligence in a road traffic trial where both parties were blaming each other for the accident. The application was refused and C was awarded 100% of his damages, although trial judge conceded that if contributory negligence had been formally pleaded he would have apportioned liability two thirds one third in C's favour. D appealed successfully to the High Court, Mr Justice Eady ruling that justice and fairness required that the amendment be allowed so that 'the real dispute' between the parties could be adjudicated upon.
Mark Harding (Executor of the Estate of Jane Harding) v Network Rail Infrastructure Ltd (2014)
Represented D in a Fatal Accident claim where liability was not in issue. Claim raised interesting issues as to the valuation of the deceased services, both as a wife and mother, but also as a carer and companion to her mother and parents in law. Led by Jonathan Watt Pringle QC. Case settled.
Goldin v Erith Holdings Ltd, Intersteels Ltd & Morgan Wheal Contracting Ltd (2014)
C was a cyclist who was struck on the head by a falling scaffolding pole as she was cycling to work in Oxford. Primary liability conceded but contribution claims brought by main contractors against sub contractors. Nature and extent of C's head injury also in dispute. Represented Ds at contested interim payment application and also instructed to represent main contractor in contribution proceedings. Claim settled 3 days prior to trial.
AB v H (2013)
Represented C who had been raped by a school caretaker whilst a young school girl. The perpetrator was convicted at his criminal trial and C brought a civil claim against the local education authority. The claim raised interesting issues as to vicarious liability and limitation. Claim settled at JSM.
Faulkner Bryant v Griffiths (2012)
Represented D in a case where C was an officer in the Royal Engineers who sustained a head injury in a car accident. Liability was not in dispute. The claimant returned to regimental duties after the accident but then failed to progress and his service was terminated. The claimant claimed damages in excess of £1 million for the loss of his army career. Claim settled at JSM.
Khan v Sainsbury's Plc (2011)
Representing D. The claimant contended that he had sustained a catastrophic brain injury. The claim was pleaded in excess of £3 million. The defendants obtained video surveillance evidence which suggested that the claimant and his father in law/litigation friend had misled the court about the true extent of the claimant's disabilities. Claim settled.
Hoggart v Network Rail (2011)
Representing D. The claimant's wife and grandson were killed when they were crossing a railway line near their home in Nottinghamshire. Primary liability was admitted but contributory negligence remained a live issue. The claimant widower's dependency claim settled shortly before trial.
Paterson v Surrey Police Authority (2008) EWHC 2693
Representing C. The claimant suffered a nervous breakdown following years of working long hours and being required to be on call 24/7.The case raised questions about the foreseeability of injury in the context of a breach of the Working Time Regulations 1998.
Montgomery v Brown (2008) EWHC 3441
Representing D. The claimant, an off oil shore worker, claimed damages in excess of £500,000 for past and future loss of earnings. 3 days prior to trial the defendant discovered that the claimant had in fact been working and earning substantial sums since his accident. The defendant's application to refer the matter to the AG pursuant to CPR 32.14 was granted by Mr Justice Eady.

Brace, PayPal, Google, Apple, Samsung, and anyone railroading customers with proprietary mobile wallets and other payments products. Alipay comes to North America. Slowly, but confidently, Alipay builds its partnerships to storm the market.
Chinese payments giants are paving the highway into the US payments industry, and someone (namely, Apple Pay, Samsung Pay, and Android Pay) ought to get nervous. Alipay has resources and domestic experience to potentially dominate any market.
Operated by Ant Financial Services Group, Alipay is the world's largest mobile and online payment platform. Launched in 2004, Alipay currently has over 520 million active users and over 200 domestic financial institution partners. Alipay has evolved from a digital wallet to a lifestyle enabler: users can hail a taxi, book a hotel, buy movie tickets, pay utility bills, make appointments with doctors, or purchase wealth management products directly from within the app.
In addition to online payments, Alipay is expanding to in-store offline payments both inside and outside of China. Over 10 million brick-and-mortar merchants now accept Alipay across China. Alipay's in-store payment service covers more than 30 countries across the world, and tax reimbursement via Alipay is supported in 24 countries and regions. Alipay works with over 250 overseas financial institutions and payment solution providers to enable cross-border payments for Chinese traveling overseas and overseas customers who purchase products from Chinese e-commerce sites. Alipay currently supports 27 currencies.
"Alipay, one of the world's leading digital payment platforms, has partnered with Poynt, the maker of the world's first smart terminal, to enable Alipay's more than 520 million registered users in China and beyond to pay with Alipay across all Poynt devices in North America.
Through the agreement, Alipay users visiting North America will enjoy a seamless, familiar checkout experience using the payment method that is most comfortable for them. Alipay is China's leading online payment provider and the primary means of online and mobile payments for Chinese consumers."
North American Bancard Holdings ($50 billion in payments processed for more than 310,000 businesses), a multi-faceted payment solutions provider, and Alipay announced that Alipay is now available on NAB's wholly owned Electronic Payment Exchange (EPX) processing platform through a variety of NAB-owned products, including gateways, terminals and mobile payment solutions.
Now, US merchants of all sizes can benefit by offering Alipay as a payment type in their stores.
The number of Chinese consumers visiting North America is predicted to grow to four million this year. In addition, the Chinese middle class is presently the single fastest-growing online consumer market in the world, estimated to grow to 600 million by 2020, and North American merchants will be well-positioned with this customer base if they are able to accept the preferred payment type of this consumer demographic whether in-store or online.
"Through our strong partnership with NAB, over 120,000 of NAB's PayAnywhere merchants are now enabled with Alipay which includes best-in-class support," said Souheil Badran, President of Alipay North America.
Alipay is enabled on the EPX processing platform and will be accessible to independent software vendors (ISVs) wanting to integrate with the technology in December 2017. PayAnywhere users are able to use a camera, or barcode scanner, to accept Alipay through both the mobile app and PayAnywhere Storefront. By the end of 2017, Alipay acceptance will be rolled out to all of NAB's semi-integrated MICROS terminals, along with their entire Ingenico terminal merchant base.
The taxi cabs in two popular US destinations have responded to the millions of Chinese tourists coming in every year. By next month, tens of thousands of cabs in New York City and Las Vegas will accept Alipay, China's nearly ubiquitous mobile payment mode.
This will apply to 2,100 taxis in Vegas by the end of October before another 14,000 in New York start accepting Alipay payment in November.
Alipay started its crusade earlier. In October 2016, Alipay partnered with Verifone, a world leader in payment and commerce solutions, to enable retailers in North America and Europe.
Using an mPOS solution to accept Alipay App payments at their stores, retailers can increase brand visibility, and drive traffic and sales through Alipay's in-app marketing tool. With the Verifone e355 mPOS solution, retailers will be able to accept Alipay anywhere in the store and implement marketing campaigns targeting Chinese consumers who use the Alipay app.

Patient request influenced these rates—for low-risk patients, 23.7% of physicians who did not believe that TVU or CA125 or both were effective screening tests sometimes or almost always offered or ordered 1 or both of these tests if the patient requested testing, compared with 12.0% of physicians if the patient did not (data not shown; P ≤ 0.01). Patient request had a similarly powerful effect on the screening rates of physicians who did believe TVU or CA125 or both were effective screening tests—63.7% of these physicians sometimes or almost always ordered one or both of these tests if the patient requested screening, compared to 39.5% of physicians if the patient did not (P ≤ 0.001).

By Erik Kirschbaum
BERLIN (Reuters) - The German government dismissed charges on Monday that it has become "incapacitated" because of its failure to agree on a strategy on the refugee question that has sent Chancellor Angela Merkel's approval ratings falling to five-year lows.
Merkel's spokesman Steffen Seibert acknowledged she and her conservative ally Horst Seehofer, leader of the Christian Social Union (CSU) sister party, had not bridged their differences at a two-hour meeting on Sunday over his demand for refugee limits.
But he brushed aside a chorus of complaints from the opposition Greens and Left parties that the government was rudderless because they were unable to find common ground on the explosive issue that has hurt the conservatives at the polls.
Seehofer wants a law limiting the number of refugees coming to Germany each year to 200,000. Merkel refuses any limits. Their dispute has festered for nearly a year in which more than a million refugees fleeing war and poverty arrived in Germany.
"The government was always fully capable of acting on this issue and it is still capable of acting," Seibert told a regular government news conference after being grilled about the divisions in Merkel's conservative bloc.
"We're in the middle of an arduous and formidable process," he said. "We accomplished a lot but have a lot of work to do."
The CSU has long criticized Merkel's liberal refugee policy and on Saturday Seehofer said the two conservative parties face election defeats if they remain at odds over migration.
In a regional vote on September 4, Merkel's CDU came in third place, behind the anti-immigrant Alternative for Germany (AfD) - a shock result that Merkel has acknowledged was a result of her party's pro-refugee stance. The AfD is also expected to perform well in a regional vote in Berlin next Sunday.
The accusations that Merkel's three-party grand coalition government - made up of her Christian Democrats, the CSU and the center-left Social Democrats (SDP) - has become incapacitated followed Sunday's fruitless meeting between Merkel and Seehofer.
The two later met SPD leader Sigmar Gabriel in Merkel's office but the refugee issue was not discussed, officials said.
"That the coalition leaders won't even discuss an issue that has everyone so worked up is an admission of failure," said Katrin Goering-Eckardt, a Greens parliamentary leader. "You have to ask yourself if this coalition has become incapacitated."
Left party parliamentary floor leader Dietmar Bartsch said it was astonishing that the coalition leaders avoided the issue.
Bartsch said the government's days were clearly numbered, adding: "The best thing would be to file for divorce quickly."
Even the SPD, part of the coalition since 2013, has started to express doubts about its ability to operate.
"It's Merkel's job to ensure that the CDU and CSU are able to govern," said SPD general secretary Katarina Barley, Gabriel's deputy leader in the SPD headquarters. "The SPD can't keep mediating the cat fight between the CDU and CSU."

The only builder that has responded and been extremely good to talk to and work with is Peter Henderson from P & J Henderson Builders. We have signed up with Peter to do the job after waiting weeks for the other builders to get back to me. No one has. Not impressed with the others.
They were very easy to deal with, reliable and we are very happy with the result. I would definitely use them again and recommend them to others.
Communication was good as well as their price and they did a great job.

Lent should be marked by daily prayer, acts of penance and works of fraternal charity, Benedict XVI said in his Angelus address yesterday.
A few hours after the Angelus Pope Benedict began a week-long Lenten retreat with Vatican officials (video).
"Scientism and the logic of profit seem to dominate the field of infertility," the Pope said in an address to members of the Pontifical Academy for Life on Saturday.
Fr Edward Flanagan, founder of the American Boys Town orphanage organisation, will be declared a Servant of God next month, Archbishop George Lucas of Omaha has said.
Zenit publishes an exclusive extract from Mgr Georg Ratzinger's new book, My Brother, the Pope, days before its release in English.
Grant Gallicho asks whether the Catholic News Service remains independent of the US bishops.
Matthew Warner argues that Catholic parishes "often make it very hard for young, growing families to participate in the life of the Church".
And Jeff Miller discovers that all the best names for Pope Benedict's new Twitter account have already been taken.

By Mike Alerding It has been a while since we have seen the Mergers & Acquisition business restart its engine. Since 2007, the number of sales of closely-held businesses that have sold has slowed to a standstill. Many businesses that should have sold during the past four years are still sitting on the sidelines waiting for all of the necessary M&A ingredients to come together. Unfortunately, for the smaller size businesses, they may have a bit longer to wait.
Closely-held businesses that should sell include those that have owners that are no longer capable of growing, stabilizing or even operating the business because of personal, health, emotional, energy or economic reasons. In the business community, we all know of at least a few of these businesses. In my case, I know of more than just a few – there are a number of businesses that, in more normal economic times, would and should have sold during this period. Most of those businesses now continue to sit on the shelf waiting for the planets and stars to line up so their owners can receive some reasonable value for their investment.
In talking to investment bankers recently, the deal flow is beginning to pick up – but almost exclusively for businesses with a transaction value of $10 million or better. Bob Welch, of City Securities in Indianapolis, says that three critical ingredients are starting to come together for larger transactions that have not been there in the past four years.
- Commercial banks are more active in the acquisition financing than they have been in the past few years. This doesn't mean that commercial banks have returned to the craziness that led to this recession, but at least they are looking and showing interest in structuring loans that make sense and that can make the bank a profit.
- ROI's for buyers are improving because asking prices are generally very low since many businesses have lost value during the recession, primarily due to lower earnings. Buyers, and especially sophisticated buyers, now feel as though they are buying on the way up versus buying at the top of the value cycle, resulting in a quicker and more robust ROI.
- Lastly, private equity firms that have been on the sidelines during this period are finally beginning to come to the table with hard equity to get deals done. Private equity firms have been accumulating cash for years hoping to find alternative safe investment vehicles to hold the cash and ride out the storm. It appears that their patience has run thin in view of the negligible returns that cash investment alternatives offer today.
Unfortunately for the vast majority of closely-held businesses that don't have a value over $10 million, these factors don't apply. Those businesses continue to see their value decline and the opportunities to sell shrink. Many have shut down their businesses, sought protection through bankruptcy or essentially given the business away in an effort to at least get out from under personal guarantees.
So where does this leave these smaller closely-held businesses? I believe that the answer lies in sellers being willing to structure sales transactions that provide for less cash at closing, more assumption of risk and a longer payout. Deals that follow this new structure can be done – but it takes a combination of expertise, risk-taking and finding a buyer that has the financial, operational and market knowledge necessary to make it work.

Middle English (denoting the vow made on entering a religious order): via Old French from Latin professio(n-), from profiteri 'declare publicly' (see profess). profession (sense 1) derives from the notion of an occupation that one 'professes' to be skilled in.

Artist: The Peter Pupping Band
Song: "Sea Journey" (from the CD Sea Journey)
Heard By: Richard Gutierrez, Pomona, CA
It was basically a mix of styles. It was all instrumental with mostly a Latin feel. There was some Brazilian stuff in there, some African rhythms, but the main voice was the flamenco guitar. It's basically based all around his guitar. The rhythm section was really supporting the flamenco-guitar voicings. It was groovy; it was danceable; it was upbeat. A lot of the songs on the album are covers that people already know, so it's just a fun, light, and easy listen. It was not overly complicated; they kept it pretty simple, but they had nice melodies. I could imagine hearing that at a Latin-jazz festival; it's nice on the ears. This album would be best accompanied by a nice glass of California chardonnay.
Artist: The Shake Ups
Song: "Can't Stop the Signal" (from the CD Breathing the Flood)
Heard By: "Waffles," Normal Heights
I thought it sounded like the B-52s mixed with Gravy Train but with a dude singing; it's like they were trying to mix surf rock with girl-punk. It was like Blondie with the Creepy Creeps. It was all right, if you're into that type of thing. It was pretty good. It's not my style of music. I typically like Devo, Sublime — Sublime is my favorite band ever, actually. I could see that on the radio. My friend's band is terrible, and they're getting a lot of airplay around here. One of the lyrics was "coming to terms with my inner fool," and I thought that was great. I can see them being good live. When I hear that, I picture a beach party with a bunch of B-52–looking chicks.
Artist: Lindsay Hail
Song: "Hibernate" (from the CD Into My Soul)
Heard By: Mollie Hodge, North Park
I think that it was very melodic, and I really liked it. I really hope they make it big because I was really into it; I felt their vibe. They kind of reminded me of Evanescence but in a very different way. At first they reminded me of them, but then as it got more into it, they reminded me more of a slower version of Siouxsie and the Banshees. I think they're talented. I couldn't really understand what she was singing half of the time, so I would read the lyrics. I imagine they would play the Radio Room or even Lestat's or Kadan. It's also really good music to just sit and chill to. If anyone's ever feeling really down, I'd recommend listening to that.

For a lot of couples, traveling as a pair is romantic enough as itself. Walking along the roads of a foreign land together, sharing a warm (or chilled depending on the region) meal together, seeing the lights of the cityscape before taking your commemorative tourist photo. But what if we told you that there are ways to make your journeys together even more meaningful?
We give you a list of things you can remember to make your journeys together a lot more tender and maybe even magical:
Hunger + Exhaustion = Fights
Yes, I've said that traveling in pairs can be uber romantic, but every rose has its thorns. For the traveling twosome, those thorns can come in the form of arguing. The main cause of travel arguments? Exhaustion and hunger. You can avoid adding kindling to these fiery clashes of opinion by keeping this fact in mind and taking the time to cool off before doing continuing your adventures.
Schedule Some Downtime
While it's optimal to maximize your travel time together while on vacation, don't forget that you're both only human and that you need to wind down now and then too. Spend at least a portion of one of your travel days holed up in your room just to relax, unwind and enjoy each other's company. You can indulge yourselves and order some wine and snacks from room service to just veg out in your comfy hotel.
Get a (Private) Room
While it's budget-friendly to rent cheap hostel rooms and share your sleeping space with other travelers, it can get a lot less romantic when you're trying to find some snuggle time among the piles of bags and the presences of other people. Go all out and rent the private hotel room you know you both deserve.
Time Apart
As in any relationship, spending every waking moment beside each other can feel suffocating in the long run. You both need your personal spaces here and there too. It's not being suggested that you spend the entire day apart during your travels. Just set up some time where you can explore or enjoy yourselves separately. An example would be to do some solo shopping at a foreign marketplace after you've explored and taken some photos with each other first.
Don't Force the Romance
You may be dead-set on emulating the latest romance fads and photos you can find on Instagram or Facebook, but forcing the love is very tiring and very counterproductive. Don't try too hard to be romantic and just let your natural chemistry work. What's important is how you both feel about each other and the trip you are on rather than trying to impress the masses on your social media accounts.
Remember, your trips together aren't just grand adventures you'll want to remember for the rest of your lives. They're also moments you want to share in order to nurture the bonds you already have for one another. The seas and skies may get a bit rough, but as long somebody you love and trust has got your back, any adventure will be worth the trouble.

Got another three sections fastened on. Did a bit of trimming to "fit" at the edges. Started looking at how to cut the next pieces… not going to be as straightforward as I expected. Really looking more like the bottom of a boat now. We had a lot of strong wind today and had quite a bit of fighting with the "shed" cover. Tape is holding the plastic fine, but the plastic itself tore in a few locations. Did some temporary patching and will work more when the weather calms down.

What makes YouTube so popular? It is the website's content, such as snippets from the Daily Show with Jon Stewart, South Park, or any of the latest television shows from around the world.
Though TV networks have asked YouTube to remove them, users keep uploading more unauthorized video clips.
In China, some websites are doing much more than that. "Western executives must be very jealous of the copyright situation here," a Chinese Web 2.0 entrepreneur once told me. Posting copyrighted videos online? Who cares.
The result of this laissez-faire approach to unauthorized uploads is to popular culture-hungry Internet users what pirated disks was to Chinese cinephiles a decade ago.
Nowadays, go to a Chinese video-sharing site, type in the name of your favorite show, click on the search button, and voila! Every single episode of the show will pop up on your screen faster than the fairy godmother turned a pumpkin into a carriage for Cinderella.
Case in point: ouou.com. Here you can access new episodes of 24, Prison Break, Heroes or any other series, one day after they air in the United States.
What's more, there is no downloading (a process that belongs to the BitTorrent/KaZaA age), no commercial breaks to bother you every few minutes, and most importantly, no Babel-like situation where language or cultural misunderstanding makes the global village a pitfall of perils.
It is all thanks to the effort made by volunteer translation groups.
These are fans who prepare Chinese subtitles as soon as they get the video from the Internet. After Episode 1, Season 2 of Prison Break came out in August 2006, the first Chinese subtitled version was finished and uploaded in less than seven hours.
For shows that require in-depth knowledge of American culture, there are footnotes with the subtitles. For example, footnotes on Studio 60 On the Sunset Strip help Chinese audiences understand in-jokes about Hollywood history and American politicians.
Here's one secret for high-quality translation: embedded English subtitles for HDTV programs are recorded and sent to the translation groups for reference, kind of like a secret agent that Chinese couch potatoes have planted inside Hollywood.
The irony is, when official Chinese television stations present new imported hit shows, people rarely take notice, partly because of the low quality of translation, and partly because of the terrible dubbing. A year ago, when CCTV screened Desperate Housewives, the ratings were abysmally low. So low that Hollywood had better consider breaking into the Albanian market.
Volunteer translation not only happens in China. On YouTube's "Most Viewed" page, some Japanese cartoons come with English subtitles also the work of volunteers. Fortune magazine said that if the official versions of these Japanese anime are bought by American networks, grassroots translation will cease operation immediately.
That would be like guerrillas dispersing when the uniformed troops march in, wouldn't it?

The Fragility of Freedom : Why Subsidiarity Matters
Free delivery worldwide
Available. Dispatched from the UK in 3 business days
When will my order arrive?
Not expected to be delivered to the United States by Christmas
For thirty-five years, Peter Fenwick managed the professional services consultancy, Fenwick Software, which he founded in 1976. Its culture is built on the principles of classic liberalism. Its employees are granted an appropriate degree of autonomy, provided with opportunities to grow and assume more responsibility, and encouraged to apply their skills to help each other and to deliver value for their clients. In 2011, Peter established an employee-shareholder scheme and sold 75 percent of the business in equal parts to five key staff, one of whom, 31 year-old Greg Galloway is now CEO. The firm is thriving and the culture is being maintained under his leadership. In The Fragility of Freedom, Peter applies his experience to a wider canvas. He explains how the coercive and regulatory powers of the state have been captured by powerful sectional interests for their own economic benefit, leading to corruption in public life and crony capitalism in business. Civil virtues have declined throughout the community with leaders in politics, religion, business and the trade unions often abusing positions of trust. The Fragility of Freedom is his quest to identify what is wrong and suggest ways to put things right. The book provides readers with a basic understanding of the cultural heritage of our Western Civilisation - the fundamental principles of liberty, prosperity and free enterprise. It discusses the consequences of socialism, the welfare state, distributive justice and unsound money. Replete with quotations from over fifty philosophers and economists, it introduces readers to some of our great thinkers. It equips them to engage in informed debate and to challenge conventional wisdom. Peter recommends that the role of the state be limited to functions that cannot be achieved by lower orders of organisation. He proposes a moral society based on the principle of subsidiarity in which individuals take responsibility for themselves and their families, behaving as good citizens within their community.

|Boot Key Harbor from the anchorage. Only about a quarter of the
boats are visible in this picture.
It is always nice when a new body of water introduces itself without offering a thrashing. The Hawk Channel has been very kind to Kintala. It was a benign sail from No Name to Rodriguez Key, where we rested easy on a pretty night. Rodriguez to Boot Key was equally as smooth, though a little wind would have been nice. The water is pretty, but not as clear as in the Islands. Out in the channel there wasn't much in the way of dolphin antics.
We have seen a couple of dolphins here in Boot Key Harbor, and a spotted ray jumped just off the starboard side then did its magical glide past the boat. This place is much bigger than expected, packed with boats, and a good place to sit out a few days of wind. Said winds should not top 25 knots, so it isn't really weather from which to hide. We are in no hurry though, there are friends to spend time with and new places to explore. But I have to admit to suffering from a case of disenchantment or, better yet, a case of displaced enchantment.
We are enjoying a life few get to know in, of all places, Florida. The state of anti-anchoring laws and Governor Rick Scott, who will surely sign the anti-cruiser law if it lands on his desk. This is the state that, with the help of Brother Jeb and Justice Antonin Scalia, gifted the world the Presidency of George Walker Bush. It is a place that officially denies climate change while its beaches and cities slowly subside into the rising sea levels. The aforementioned Governor insists that science doesn't prove that his feet are getting wet.
And yet I sail blissfully along, ignoring the maelstrom brewing on the horizon. Indeed, I am likely to become a resident here, settling in the Tampa Bay area for the better part of a year. Which, come to think of it, means I get to vote as a Floridian, putting me near the eye of a potential electoral storm.
I have been a Pennsylvanian, a Kansan, an Arizonian, a Missourian, and soon a Floridian. Now there is one of life's little ironies; that a person of my political persuasion has managed to live in some of the most conservative States in the Nation. (Pennsylvania isn't all that conservative a state but it does make a serious claim for being the most corrupt. Indeed, PA was practicing corruption long before there was an America.) Still, as familiar as I am with conservative politics and corruption, I am at a complete loss when it comes to the current political disaster unfolding before our very eyes. It has become a nightmare where every petty human failure is being held aloft and worshiped as if a good thing. The only way I know to deal with a nightmare is to shrug it off and go about my day. So I go about my day, which means wandering around in a sailboat.
I cast a careful eye on the weather, never fearing Syrian refugees. A dark and stormy fore deck requires some real toughness, not telling a frightened child to "go away, you can't live here." (If I ever said such a thing I would be ashamed for the rest of my life.) Everyone gets touched by the magic out here. We don't make up doctrines about it and use them to justify abusing others who see the magic a bit differently. We certainly don't try to run them out of the anchorage or prevent them from coming in to avoid some nasty weather.
I never think of anyone in terms of skin tone or what consenting adult they might invite into their berth. Mother Ocean doesn't care. In open water, dolphins, whales and octopuses are the privileged ones. (Before you say "octopi", look it up.) Marriage in the cruising community mostly solicits a shrug of indifference. Couples of all combinations sail together, married and unmarried. No one cares what else they might do together. A couple of miles off shore and there is basically no one else to care.
I don't think about walls and borders unless forced. Borders are mostly an unnecessary pain in the ass usually used as an excuse for some people to take advantage of other people. If the people from "there" speak another language, that doesn't trouble me at all. Very soon every language will be easily translated into every other language by what ever device one happens to be carrying around. (When that happens xenophobes all over the planet will likely have blood flowing out of their ears.) But I still admire people who can speak more than one language, and wish my Spanish was much better than it is. (If one needs a dose of humility, try learning another language at 60 years of age.)
"Authoritarianism" is a term that is supposed to explain why many Americans have seemingly lost their minds. It sounds to me like some kind of evil spirit, or dreaded disease. The people infected are those who think they are (or should be) the authority. The most obvious symptoms are a shriveled heart, dulled mind, and forked tongue. I believe it to be fatal to individuals and societies alike. The only cure is to ignore the infected and hope they get over themselves. Unfortunately, it is impossible to ignore all of them all of the time, (a lot of them like to wear uniforms or wave guns around). But it gets easier a few hundred feet off shore. A few miles off shore and it gets easier still. Indeed, the best part of living on a boat is I get to ignore most of them nearly all the time.
How I live isn't strange or frightening or dangerous, at least not so when compared as to what is unfolding on the land around me. So I'll stay in my state of displaced enchantment as long as I can.

As part of the oversight function of the Department of Social Services, we are committed to the development of standards and practices to improve the lives of the children, youth, and families served in child welfare. The CDSS uses a model of continuous quality improvement (CQI) to develop, evaluate, and refine policies and programs.
The move to the CQI approach began with the shift from compliance-based reviews to outcomes based reviews after the passage of the Child Welfare System Improvement and Accountability Act (AB 636) in 2001. This CQI philosophy incorporates our quantitative data, qualitative data, and the information gleaned from reports from all program areas to assist in determining the effectiveness of our Child Welfare System.
Today, the philosophy of CQI is embodied in the California Child and Family Services Review, the CFSR Case Reviews, and the ongoing work of the Social Worker Hotline to improve the services and supports to children and families in California.

5 more quick ways to calm down
Last week I shared five quick circuit-breakers to use when you are feeling stressed out and overwhelmed.
1. Stop and breathe
2. Ask yourself: What do I want to choose to do next?
3. Pet an animal
4. Remember a hilarious moment
5. Consider if multitasking is helping or hindering right now
Here are five more
Choose one or more from these to help you press pause on an impending freak out.
6. Stop looking at your To Do List
This is one of my favourite tricks if I am feeling under pressure and my To Do list is out of control. I get three post-it notes and identify the next three things I am going to choose to do. Just the next three, the rest will just have to wait. I write those priorities on three post-its on my desk. Then, I hide my To Do list from myself, as looking at those 29 things to do is just stressing me out. Three little post-it notes however — that's totally manageable. Overwhelm is completely reduced as I am not looking at the mega-list, I am just putting my full focus and energy on the next three things and I work through those methodically and in a much quicker and more focused way than I would when they were lost in this sea of To Do's. Once done, I find my list and do three more. Not looking at your To Do list is immensely relieving.
7. Do something different with your brain
If you are getting stressed, a good way to change it up is to do something different with your brain. If you have been looking at spreadsheets and numbers for hours, do something creative-brained, like a little light Pinterest for five minutes, just to allow your brain to disengage and then re-engage with renewed energy. If you have been in massive team meetings or a kindergarten for hours giving out people energy, find some peace and quiet to recharge solo, even if it's just for three minutes.
8. Do something different with your body
If you have been sitting, stand up and walk round for no good reason other than to change up your energy and focus. Go walk round the block. Take the stairs instead of the lift just to get the blood circulating and the body processing those stress hormones more efficiently. Put on a great tune and dance it out. (Depends where you work, admittedly. I work with so many lawyers as clients I'd love to see them implementing this!) Then recommit to the task at hand feeling fresh — blood pumping round the body and your mood significantly raised.
9. Shift your perspective
When we are feeling stressed and overwhelmed our focus gets very narrow and "me" focused. One way to completely shift out of overwhelm is to open that perspective up to someone else's life. I post a heap of inspirational stories on my Facebook page as I feel the news can be full of so much doom and gloom, that it's important we celebrate the stories of humans behaving with amazing courage, grace, strength or integrity. Take a few minutes to watch my inspirational video of the day and then feel yourself recommit to whatever it was that was stressing you. I can guarantee there is no item on your To Do list that will feel as stressful and annoying once you have seen an incredible tetraplegic young man painting with his mouth with grace and dignity.
10. Accept and reflect
Sometimes life just feels stressful and overwhelming. You might well be trying to do too much and be overcommitted. It can be a good thing to recognise and be aware of — so you can take proactive steps to realigning your commitments going forward. We have the chance to think differently and choose differently in every moment. Tomorrow is a new day and we get to start fresh.

text: The income of millions of Americans today is captured on 1099 forms. They aren't protected by labor laws, and most don't have social insurance coverage or company benefits. Others are not covered by the Fair Labor Standards and Wagner Acts. And some are in a "grey area," where it is harder to tell if they are entitled to legal and social protections. So who is in this 1099 economy and how can they gain a voice, as well as the protection of collective contracts, employment and labor laws and social insurance programs? This panel will examine organizing challenges and outline the legal and employment policies that can bring them out of the trap of precarious labor.

For anyone who finds the canned laughter on TV Land a little too edgy, Nick at Nite is dipping a toe into original scripted comedy with family sitcom "See Dad Run." Familiar enough to feel like some quickly forgotten network filler, "Dad" may blend in a little too easily on the rerun-driven cabler's schedule. Barring a sudden burst of nostalgia for star Scott Baio, it's doubtful this would become appointment viewing for anyone. At least the broad comedy isn't markedly worse than some of what's being attempted on the networks this season (see: NBC's "Guys with Kids").
In a theoretically meta set-up, Baio stars as David Hobbs, the star of a popular family sitcom that's come to an end after 10 seasons. Unemployed and hoping to enjoy his semi-retired status, Hobbs instead finds himself playing Mr. Mom to his three kids — smart-alecky teen Emily (Ryan Newman), neurotic tween Joe (Jackson Brundage) and precocious cutie-pie Janie (Bailey Michelle Brown) — while wife Amy (Alanna Ubach) returns to her former job as a daytime soap actress.
There are two central jokes here: One, that David doesn't know how to handle his kids, is an irksome family comedy cliche. The other, that David has a massively inflated ego because he played a perfect father on TV, is a little more unusual.
The pilot does a functional job establishing the premise but the second episode demonstrates little hope for the future — David forgets to put the lid on a blender before he makes a smoothie (what a mess!) and there's an entire subplot involving Joe's nervous stomach and frequent farting. The short burst of Vampire Weekend's 2008 single "A-Punk" that plays between every scene change is the only thing placing "Dad" in the 21st Century.
Baio doesn't do much to elevate the limp material, but he doesn't sink it either. Although it's been two decades since the actor was a sitcom regular (on ABC's short-lived "Baby Talk"), he slips comfortably back into the rhythms of his long runs on "Happy Days" and "Charles in Charge" and creates a credible, casual chemistry with his co-stars. He looks like he's genuinely enjoying himself, and if it's easier to believe Baio as a husband and father than a three-time Emmy nominee, "Dad" isn't going to suffer for it.
Ubach emerges as the cast standout with sharp delivery and slightly more shadings than the traditional scolding wife. The younger actors are strictly serviceable, while former "Hangin' with Mr. Cooper" star Mark Curry is wasted in a barely-there sidekick role.

If Iran's telecommunications minister can be believed, the Islamic Republic is taking their government ministries offline. Reza Taghipour Anvari announced that all Iranian government ministries and state bodies' computer networks will be taken off the internet in September. The announcement, which was made on Sunday at a conference at Tehran's Amir Kabir University, is the first substantial step in Iran's fitful moves towards creating a nationwide, private (and government-controlled) secure intranet.
Iran previously announced plans to launch their Second Internet in early 2012. At the conference, Taghipour said that Iranian government ministries are going offline (Persian-language link) and that internal data centers were under construction throughout the country. Taghipour told reporters from the Islamic Students' News Agency and other Iranian sources that the worldwide internet was untrustworthy because of control by "one or two" countries hostile to Iran. Iran, Israel, and the United States have been engaged in a low-key but persistent cyberwar; the most recent salvo is the newly discovered Gauss cyberhacking toolkit, which targeted Lebanese bank accounts with Iranian links.
According to the Iranian government, their ultimate goal is to turn the "Second Internet" into a secure national intranet that will replace the current, worldwide internet.

Yesterday, I was browsing my mundane timeline when I saw a video posted of a baptism. While I will not repost the video here for privacy's sake, the text accompanying it reads as follows:
What an amazing day today has been. Anyone who knows me knows my love for my Lord and Savior. They also know my love for the greatest gift he has ever given me, my wife. Well today I witnessed my wife get baptized and it is a day I will always remember. A lot of couples have different things that only they can say they experienced together, well me and my wife have ours. We were both there when the other received God as our personal savior and both there when the other was baptized. God is so amazing. Ruth 1:16-17 #whereyougoiwillgo
Now... My immediate reaction was an eye roll. No, I don't hate love and affection. No, I'm not anti-Christian. And, no, I don't morally object to hashtags on Facebook. However, there's an issue with the above mentioned "first time". It wasn't her first time. I was actually there for her first time. I went to Sunday school with her. Youth group later on. I went to church camps and Bible camps and camp outs and all sorts of events over the 13 years of our growing up. And, most germane to this conversation: I saw her baptism. The actual first one.
I say this to admit to you that my immediate reaction was to scoff at this. Because I know, after growing up in a Southern Baptist household, that there are some technically incorrect things here according to Baptist doctrine. Chief amongst them is the notion of "Once saved, always saved." Once you've been saved and baptized, you're saved. You're going to heaven. Jesus has your bus pass and all he needs is for you to die. All aboard. Yippee. So, did she get saved when she was a kid (espousing the power of a childlike faith and all that) or is she actually saved now? Did the first one not count?
I scoffed because I've seen this dozens of times. I've seen my own brother "get saved" a few times in his life, each time requiring yet another baptism. I'll tell you, when you're growing up and you see all the other kids getting baptized the urge to go through that social rite is pretty powerful. I, too, have been saved. The preacher came to my house. He asked me a few basic Bible knowledge questions to ascertain whether I knew what the fuck I was saying yes to. And then I got dunked on a Sunday in front of the congregation. (The same congregation that petitioned to have me expelled from high school later on, but I digress.) So...you know...see you fuckers in Heaven I guess.
I scoffed because I thought What the hell kind of deity needs his people to constantly fear for their eternal soul so that they must feel the need to be saved over and over again? Doesn't he know there's a drought? And he wants them to just take a big ol' swim because the last one didn't count?
You see... It's easy for us to disassociate ourselves from Christianity and its practices. They're the Big Bad, right? They're the ones behind the Duggar cover up and the number of trans teen deaths and the fight against marriage equality and didn't they used to kill scientists for being scientific? It's easy to scoff at the majority when you're in the comfort and privilege of being a minority.
But then my mind went elsewhere. My mind went to the hard work I had to do to get my own spirit back in line with the deities of my understanding. I recalled the Big Spiritual Freakout I had a few years ago. I recalled not believing in anything. I recalled the sleepless nights when faith seemed like a bad burrito I once had. When it was a joke I used to tell myself. When the spiritual was out of my reach.
I remembered feeling lost. After being spiritual - even having some internet fame for my spirituality - for decades, suddenly not having that connection feels... It's one of the loneliest feelings in the world. Who am I to discount someone else's journey?
A baptism is just a water rite of rebirth. "Being saved" is simply establishing a formalized relationship with a deity. Going through this with your husband and community of chosen fellow believers at your side? That must be incredibly powerful and rewarding. The rites I have with my own circle are always powerful and rewarding. I trust them. I trust the work. I trust the practice.
And so I clicked "Like" with a smile on my face and a bit of contrition in my heart.
Love and Lyte,
Fire Lyte

To the last day of liberty!
We will now have hope and change and other platitudes. But with this hopey changyness, we may also see an end to many freedoms. Of course, chief on the list of the Chicago democrat is the end of guns in America. I seriously doubt that there will be another assault weapons ban. Instead, the BATFE will be free to "regulate" guns until only the elite (i.e. well-connected) few can own them legally. This gives the same effects as a ban, without a Congressional vote or a signature from the annotated one. Political plausible denaiablity.
But look too to other things. We will see a return of censorship in the form of the "fairness doctrine" that would practically ban talk radio as we know it. So too with "required service"-- if not in the military, then in another form (peace corps, city year, etc.). Finally, look for a radical change in our economic structure: he will likely introduce regulations that make everyday investment difficult (in the name of "stability") that will result in a net increase in the costs of investment as the costs of regulations get passed along.
Listen to what the chosen has said and will say in the first few weeks. Already, he has spoken of his comming "rule" and the taking of power. These are dangerous words. Combined with the personality cult that has arisen around him, these words could come true. As you have likely seen, Obama is on a "historic" whistle-stop tour on the way to inauguration day. He has been doing eveything Lincoln likely could have done. Obama has not even taken office and he is already setting up his "legacy" as a great president. Well, we as Americans need to remind him that it is actions and results that determine who good a president is. It is only then, after the presidency, that it can properly be judged.
When a victorious general came back from conquest to the city of Rome, the citizens would hold a great parade called a triumph. The general would ride a chariot and a man would hold a wreath-crown of gold olive leaves over his head. The man would never put the crown on the general's head, for Rome had no kings. The man would also whisper continually, "Remember, you are only a man. Remember, you are only a man."
When those traditions became lost, and the crown finally hit the victorious general's head, it was the beginning of the empire-- and the end of liberty.
Let us chant to Obama, "Remember, you are only a man."

Be sweet, out there, and happy reading. :)

Microsoft's monthly security updates are an important part of today's secure PC computing. Windows XP is scheduled to end its security updates in April of next year (2014) for this decade old operating system. This important change will affect your computing security after that date.
Your anti-virus program depends on a secure up-to-date operating system provided by Microsoft. Without these Microsoft updates the anti-virus program installed on your computer bears the responsibility to protect you. This will be the case in April of next year unless Microsoft has a change of mind.
Hackers can hardly wait for this to happen. It's widely thought that they will sandbag their latest developments until April, 2014 before unleashing them on "unprotected" XP systems. The level of sophistication from these hackers is extraordinary. They can and will reverse-engineer future Microsoft updates for Windows 7 and 8 to see if they can be applied to XP. If so they will tilt PC security in their favor. If that's the scenario, then your anti-virus program will have to carry the full responsibility for your protection. Unfortunately there are no anti-virus programs that are bullet proof. Hackers currently develop their malware to work around anti-virus programs. They are very good at this task. Next year their job will be even easier if you are still using an XP computer.
If you decide to wait to see what happens in April then make sure you know how to use your anti-virus program. Items such as checking to make sure you have the latest anti-virus update and being able to run quick or full scans will become more important. Anti-virus companies will continue to support their programs on XP. However, the problem is that it may take several days before they can develop and download to your computer the necessary protection against the latest threats. It's estimated that there are over 30% of all computers that will be using XP come April of next year. Hopefully you will have made a wise decision before then!
Windows 8.1 will be in stores by the end of October. This reworked version promises to improve upon the negative reviews Windows 8 has received, particularly in its tiled interface. Also returning is the familiar "Start" button. Good deals can now be obtained on existing Windows 8 computers. Microsoft has promised to upgrade older Windows 8 computers to version 8.1, free of charge.
You have plenty of time to consider making a change. This topic and others are discussed at our monthly PC Club meetings which are held on the second Tuesday at 7:00 PM, upstairs in the Ardmore room of the Community Center.

An essay can be anything and everything which can perfectly explain and comment on a given subject. The reader of the essay can be termed as the final judge to determine, how good an essay is. The essay should be such that it can reflect the actual situation through a spectrum of thoughts, in a manner which can keep the interest and facts on the same boat.
An essay is thus, a literary initiative to describe and comprehend a situation, to the best ability of the author. Writing a meaningful and strong essay has been one of the most intriguing mysteries of the academic world. As the scope of an essay is immense, close to infinity, there can be in no proven or scientific parameter to gauge the intensity of an essay.
In case the essay is being written for the admission panel for some business school, the pointers and logic within the essay should be portrayed in a manner, which can best describe the candidate profile within the scope of the essay.
Targeting the audience: Hitting bull eye. Before commencing the journey of writing a successful essay, one should always keep in mind the audience of the essay. Which type of audience will read the essay? What is the purpose of this essay? Any author should be well prepared to answer these questions.

It's hard to believe that it's been a year since we stood side by side on the grounds of Worthy Farm. But While Glastonbury took a well-deserved rest in 2018, Oxfam's work toward beating poverty for good has not stopped.
One small step for water, one giant leap in beating poverty for good
Thousands of you joined us at festivals this summer, all volunteering with Oxfam and giving a shift to help those living in poverty. We have taken stewards, campaigners and shop volunteers all over the country. We have spoken to so many of you about Oxfam's lifesaving work, and taken a big step in providing clean drinking water to people all around the globe. Making sure the world's poorest people have Water For Life.

No matter who you are or where you are, from a festival to a refugee camp, we all need water for life. We drink it, wash with it and don't give a second thought to the thousands of ways it is changing our life for the better. But, even today, millions of the world's poorest people don't have the ease of simply turning on a tap.
In Africa and Asia, the average trip for women to collect water is 6 kilometres, that's an incredible 8000 steps every single day. Throughout 2018 we have been asking many of you to join us, to stand in solidarity with all the women and girls around the world that have to make the journey every single day. The response was overwhelming, and so many of you took part by putting a foot forward in support.
Last year Oxfam helped 5.5 million people get clean drinking water and we work with local partners in more than 90 countries around the world. From people caught up in crisis and forced to flee their homes, to farmers trying to earn a better living – time and time again we see access to water making a huge difference.

It's why Oxfam is working with local communities to install solar-powered boreholes to pump water in Kenya. It's why we've repaired water systems destroyed by ISIS in Iraq so families returning home can rebuild their lives. And it's why we are working with vendors in South Sudan, so local people can get their water at a fair price. Everywhere you look, clean water is changing lives
If everyone had Water For Life, it would be a huge step forwards in the fight against poverty. Together we can make it happen.

We'll be back at Glastonbury in 2019, and you can come and join us by being a part of our volunteering community.
Whether you join us a steward to point us in the right direction, join us as a campaigner to make some noise on our campaign, or join us as shop volunteer to kit us out with glits and glamour – you and thousands of others at Glastonbury will be making change happen, and help in the fight to beat poverty for good.

You can sign up to be part of our 2,000 strong Glastonbury volunteering team in 2019. Go to our website here for more information.
See you in the field soon!
