Healthy Recipes Does Add Months to Your Life
Healthy diet is crucial for everyone, primarily people with health conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure, and chronic heart disease. Healthy cooking is more than a matter of what foods you get ready and is just as critical as the food that you cook with. Healthy cooking has to be one of our top priorities.
We dont consider "healthy cooking" to fit into any diet; rather, its about making food thats good for our bodies. Preparing healthy food is paramount when embarking on a healthier lifestyle. Many people associate healthy diet with long hours in the kitchen and stale end products. Nowadays you can find a lot of health cooking recipes out there that taste good. A healthy lifestyle includes nutrient administration, physical conditioning fitness management and stress management.
The most important thing about low fat cooking is to not look at it as a chore but a change in life style for the better. When you begin your investigation for a healthy cooking recipe you will discover that it will be less hectic to find than you may think and you will come across more than you may ever be able to use.
Learn how to make your desserts count with healthy, nutritionally important ingredients as well as calorie- and fat-cutting techniques and ingredients like baking with Splenda, for example. You will not forfeit taste with this substitute, yet you will cut your fat intake. With sour cream Use fat free sour cream instead of regular sour cream. With mayonnaise use reduced-fat mayonnaise or Miracle Whip Light instead of conventional mayonnaise. When your recipe calls for whole milk, use skim or low-fat milk instead. Promise can help perserve a healthy heart when eaten instead of butter or margarine as part of a diet low in saturated fat, trans fat and cholesterol. Fad diets will come and go, but a low-fat diet that is full of fruits and vegetables remains to be the best efficient method of weight loss and coronary thrombosis prevention. You has to try to eat more vegetables and less fat and salt. As a rule of thumb, avoid all cooking methods that add fat or allow food to cook in its own fat.
Saturated fatty acid fats tend to raise blood cholesterol and clog arteries, which in turn means an increased risk for heart chest pains and stroke. Use unsaturated oils instead of regular oils. We particularly eat too much saturated fat, the type of fat we get from animal causes, which seems to do the most harm to our bodys. As a rule of thumb, saturated fats tend to be solid at room temperature with the exception of coconut and palm kernel oils. Unsaturated fats tend to be liquid at room temperature. Vegetable oils, such as corn, safflower and cottonseed, for example, contain unsaturated fat.
Most people have heard that it is important to reduce saturated fat to reduce the levels of LDL cholesterol in our blood and thereby reduce our risk of developing heart disease. A new study suggests that reducing saturated fat also helps prevent heart disease by reducing LDL oxidation. When 27 healthy men and women were fed typical American diets (34% of calories from fat, 15% from saturated fat), low fat diets (29% fat, 9% saturated fat) and very low saturated fat diets (25% fat, 6% saturated fat), LDL oxidation was significantly lower in the subjects on the low saturated fat diet. Vegetarian diets are typically lower in saturated fat than non-vegetarian diets, but can contain significant amounts of saturated fats if products like butter, cheese, and whole milk are consumed on a regular basis.
The most big thing about low fat cooking is to not look at it as a chore but a change in life style for the better.Healthy meals are made easy when you have a variety of compatible cookbooks on hand. You will find a list of healthy foods to eat, healthy recipes, meal plans and enough easy, quick, recipes and interesting ideas to turn food preparation into a gratifying task.

I'm in a home that is not mine (but feels a little bit mine), studying for an exam I didn't expect to be taking anytime during my life, in order to start a job I could only dream off in the last few years, so I can move in with my best friend to a place we will finally be able to call home.
Life works in funny ways. I wish I could encapsulate all the feelings and thoughts that are going through me at the moment. There's the nerves taking over my whole body, the excitement about new adventures, the fear of not being able to rise up to the challenge, the desire to curl up in bed with a book and live the simple life, the sadness for the heartbreak and realising I went from being in a team to be a solo player. The happiness for being able to read a good book, walk along the river, have a pint in the sunshine. The kind of happiness you only feel when you're truly free, like I know I am. The 3am cycles home after a good laughing session with friends, the 4am ukulele playing sessions, the 5am staring at the ceiling sessions wondering about the size of the world.
How blessed that I get to live this life.

San Cristobal
I flew from Quito (the capital of Ecuador which is on the west coast of south america) to San Cristobal. San Cristobal has the 2nd biggest population in the Galapagos. It turns out that there's a fair amount of people on these islands.
Yoga Retreat
After 4 days on San Cristobal, I took the speed boat to Santa Cruz to join a yoga retreat with Rocky Heron. We basically did yoga morning and evening and adventure in the day time. It was great!
The hotel was also a coffee plantation and had a lot of wild tortoises "running" around.
Tortuga Bay
Santa Fe Island
The other people in my yoga group had made fun of me because of my enthusiasm for swimming with sea lions BUT only until they tried it themselves. After that, they were equally enthusiastic : )

So, there we have it. I have a new label I can wear with pride—I am a "thrill seeker"! If by seeking thrills you mean seeking the thrill that comes from knowing God, then you have me right.
Perhaps we have hit on the nub of this issue. I am not against moments of contemplation and a raft of other emotions, but you are dead right—I do believe God wants us to rejoice in Him.
Piper adapts the old Puritan catechism to say we exist to "Glorify God by enjoying Him." I don't think it would be so wrong to change that again to "being thrilled with Him."
As far as the gifts are concerned, you are right that, when used in public, they are for the benefit of the whole congregation. But to me, part of being built up is surely to receive the joy God intended for us. Also, tongues has a function for the individual to fortify them, and again part of that I would argue is to bring joy.". . . [on] the other hand, the one who prophesies speaks to people for their upbuilding and encouragement and consolation. The one who speaks in a tongue builds up himself, but the one who prophesies builds up the church." (1 Corinthians 4:3-4)
I think the above definitely implies inducing joy as part of the benefit of the gifts.
Certainly the Bible has many examples of ecstatic experiences of God—such as Paul in 2 Corinthians 12, Saul in the Old Testament, and many more.
Some more general verses for you about why joy (i.e. being thrilled) is so central:
- Jesus himself is described as follows: "God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of gladness beyond your companions." (Psalm 45:7)
We are commanded many times to rejoice in God. See, for example:
- "Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, Rejoice." (Philippians 4:4)
- "Rejoice always." (1 Thessalonians 6:16)
- "I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full." (John 10:10)
- "…do not be grieved, for the joy of the Lord is your strength." (Nehemiah 8:10)
- "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy . . ." (Galatians 5:22)
I like the way Lloyd-Jones puts it:
"If you stop in your sins, if you stop in the dust and the ashes and in the sackcloth, I say, you are not scriptural. You must go on from that and look to Him, and apply again the truth to yourself. You must be certain that you end in a condition of thanksgiving and praise, with a realisation that your sins are covered and blotted out, and that you are renewed, and that you are able to go forward."
Patheos Explore the world's faith through different perspectives on religion and spirituality! Patheos has the views of the prevalent religions and spiritualities of the world.
Over on Pyromaniacs, the last three posts and their extensive comments sections have all been prompted by the differing reactions to the Piper piece on Hearing the Voice of God. This article by John Piper is certainly a piece that is well worth listening to, as well as reading. The following are the three resulting Pyro posts.
I have commented extensively over there on each of these posts, so I won't repeat myself here. I thought it might be helpful, however, to share my comment on today's post:

But it seems that, much like the food in his immense moustache, he is caught in a big one.

Chorale: The Holly Bough
Animation by Paula Downes, music by Andrew Downes, poetry by Charles Mackay.
The Poem
Ye who have scorn'd each other,
Or injured friend or brother,
In this fast-fading year;
Ye who, by word or deed,
Have made a kind heart bleed,
Come gather here.
Let sinn'd-against and sinning
Forget their strife's beginning,
And join in friendship now;
Be links no longer broken;
Be sweet forgiveness spoken
Under the holly bough.
Ye who have loved each other,
Sister and friend and brother,
In this fast fading year;
Mother and sire and child,
Young man and maiden mild,
Come gather here;
And let your hearts grow fonder,
As memory shall ponder
Each past unbroken vow.
Old love and younger wooing
Are sweet in the renewing
Under the holly bough.
Poetry Background
The Holly Bough was written by Charles Mackay (27 March 1814 – 24 December 1889), a Scottish poet, journalist, author, anthologist, novelist, and songwriter.
The Tradition of Holly at Christmas time
Festive holly imagery on Christmas cards may be a Victorian invention, but the tree's association with Christmas goes back to pagan times, when it was customary to bring holly boughs in to deck out the house. Holly was seen as a powerful fertility symbol, and was believed to be an effective charm to ward off witches and ill-fortune: for this reason it was often planted close to homes and outbuildings. Conveniently, its thorny foliage and blood-red berries lent themselves to Christian tradition, and the early customs surrounding the species were fully adopted by Christianity. With its intense red berries, the holly was also seen as a very masculine plant – after all, "the holly wears the crown" – though the fact that hollies with berries are always female seems to have been conveniently forgotten by some in society.
Andy Byfield (The Guardian)

Music Analysis
Chorale: The Holly Bough music is based on a Lutheran Hymn or 'Chorale'. Chorales are simple enough for the congregation to sing. They can be sung unaccompanied in unison, or they can be harmonised, accompanied by other voice parts and/or organ. Many composers have harmonised chorale melodies, the most famous of whom if J.S.Bach, a musical genius. Chorale melodies have been treated in all sorts of ways, not just harmonised with one chord per note, as in The Holly Bough. There are numerous Chorale Preludes for organ, and choruses of cantatas or oratorios that use a chorale melodies as the basis of a contrapuntal composition around which other melodies interweave. Watch the following series of videos to learn about J.S Bach and the Lutheran church.
Andrew Downes creates his own unique modern-sounding harmonisation of his Chorale: The Holly Bough by combining jazzy 6th and 7th chords (see Chords for more information) with bare intervals and parallel movement similar to that of the Medieval period. Listen to some medieval music here:
Listen to The Holly Bough again and discuss the similarities and differences to Bachian Chorales.

At Cima Collina, we pride ourselves on being one of the most dog friendly tasting rooms in Carmel Valley. We have plenty of space both within the tasting room and on the patio for furry friends. If you have been by on a weekend you will definitely recognize some of our regulars, Hudson & Nugget! Also, with every bottle of Howlin' Good Red purchased, you have helped us support one of our favorite causes: The SPCA for Monterey County. We give a 25% donation for every bottle sold of Howlin' Good Red. Last year alone we donated $1,333.60!
If you haven't brought your dog to a tasting room before, we wrote out a few guidelines to help everyone enjoy their experience!
Make sure your dog is healthy, up to shots & flea meds. Their other doggy friends will thank you! A little exercise beforehand is a good idea too to wear them out & do their business. And a pre wine tasting meal is advice we all should take more often!
If you have a younger dog -or are still working on socializing them, visit us at a less busy time. Most days early in the week you will practically have the patio to yourself and you will be able to gage how your dog interacts with other dogs and humans. We have a great shady spot under the oak tree & around the fire pit that you will be able to sip on a glass of wine with your pooch undisturbed.
There can be a lot of distractions here at Cima Collina: food on the patio, people running around, etc. Therefore, we require that you keep your dog on leash and a close eye on him/her until you are sure they are really comfortable at our location. (We have a few cellar cats that hang out and catch mice after hours & they would prefer not to be chased.)
We have a few doggy treats and extra water bowls but it's always good to pack some treats, toys, and a spare baggy never hurts either for accidents!
We hope to see you soon!
Amy Vogt, Cima Collina Tasting Room Manager

Help the LWV save American Democracy
The League of Women Voters (LWV) was founded with the purposes of defending voting rights and educating voters believing that an informed citizenry is essential for successful democracy. Kentucky League members will begin evaluating civics education in Kentucky schools this fall. Each Kentucky League will discuss and attempt to find consensus on 10 study questions that will establish League expectations for civics education. This first phase of the study asks about the role of Schools in Civic Education and what Kentucky students should be learning. It is important that all League members (who possibly can) participate in making the decisions. Please contact your League for times and places. The discussion is part of the study process.

Belchertown Community Garden & 4-H Garden
Beginning in 2015, the Western Massachusetts Master Gardeners have been working with the 4H Garden Club in an effort to educate and guide children and their families in the understanding and implementation of sustainable, organic gardening practices.
The "Giving Garden" occupies almost an acre at the Belchertown Community Garden, located on the Lampson Brook Farm on Jackson Street in Belchertown The farm is leased and managed by the New England Small Farms Institute. This land has been farmed for 250 years; 222 acres of working woodland rich with wildlife and native habitat, and 163 acres of farmland. Garden Club meetings and classes are held in the old Horse Barn early in the season, then planting day is a flurry in late spring, followed by a season of gardening and harvest.
Three generations of gardeners, from wide eyed newbies to the sage and experienced, work and learn together while producing food. Throughout the season local charities, shelters, and food pantries receive this garden's bounty. It's a richly rewarding experience to hear a child ask, "What is soil made of?" or, "How do carrots grow?" and to see their enthusiasm blossom alongside the plants they've been nurturing.
In between toiling, teaching, and learning, one can look westward for an inspiring and humbling view of the Mt. Holyoke Range. Or look eastward and see a smokestack from what remains of the old Belchertown State School, whose residents at one point worked on this farm to raise food to eat.
Topics such as garden planning, crop rotation, pollination, soil structure & organisms, perennial vegetables, and insect & disease identification have been presented in the classroom as well as in the garden. It's hands-on learning and a lot of fun! A demonstration garden is maintained by the master gardeners for interest and education. One demo illustrated the advantages of raising the bed to grow carrots.
As the 2017 season approaches, we'll be planning new demonstration plots as well as no till beds and raised beds. Also this year's garden will focus heavily on root crops.
2017 Interns will have the opportunity to join in and see what this project is all about. It's fun, rewarding, and addresses the issue of food insecurity. Come see what the chatter is all about!

Fountain student Annabelle Komisarz tells teacher Monique Bil that her favorite activity in kindergarten was getting her work done.
Photo by Sara Kandel
More than 150 parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles gathered in the gym at Fountain Elementary in Roseville on the morning of June 13 for the 2013 kindergarten class graduation.
"This is a big deal for parents," said Principal Faye Bucci, who brought the kindergarten graduation program to the school years ago. "They are 5 years old and they are going into first grade — they know how to read now, they can count, they have friends – it's another milestone.
"There are a lot of milestones in a child's life, but this is one of them, and it's wonderful."
Before the graduation could commence, kindergarten teachers Monique Bil and Kathy Hartsig set up class in the front of the gym to give families an up-close look at what daily life was like in kindergarten.
With all 50 kids sitting cross-legged on colorful carpets, Bil and Hartsig led them through a variety of daily activities. They pledged allegiance to the flag, recited the days of the week, counted the dates in the month, talked about what the weather was like outside and read two sentences out loud, while the audience smiled and cheered.
One by one they were called up to receive a certificate and share with the audience their favorite thing about kindergarten. Most responded, "recess." A few kids said they liked the blocks and Legos. Others mentioned field trips, assemblies and special activities — like the butterfly release they did in the spring.
But some had answers that had the audience laughing out loud, like "rest time," "lunch," "eating snacks" and "getting a reward after rest time."
Instead of throwing caps into the air, this graduation ceremony ended in a song and dance that had the kids bouncing with excitement as they returned to the carpet. The parents who had attended this ceremony with older siblings knew what was coming next and grabbed their cameras, video recorders and smartphones to capture the silliness of the Tooty Ta.
"I love it," said Elizabeth Hull, who attended the graduation for her youngest son. "I love the Tooty Ta. Every year they do it, and I just think it is the best."
With thumbs up, elbows back, feet apart, knees together, bottoms up and tongue out, the kids sang out "a tooty ta, a tooty ta, tooty ta ta."
"You know what? I was up this morning really not feeling that good, but after I seen the kids smiling, getting their certificates and doing the little Tooty Ta, I am feeling good," said Jermaine McGlaun, while his 5-year-old, Jaiyla, finished up the Tooty Ta. "I'm really happy today. I'm very proud of my little daughter"
Laughter and smiles weren't the only thing to come from the Tooty Ta — after the dance was finished, it was time to say goodbye. Bil and Hartsig prepared a statement, which they read together.
"After having spent nine months together in our classrooms, we've grown close, we've become part of each others' lives, and we will always keep a little bit of them with us. We have lived, loved, laughed, studied, learned and enriched our lives this year. We wish it could have gone on indefinitely, but give them back to you we must."
Bil began tearing up as she told the families in the audience that they would always be interested in their children — where they go, what they do, who they become.
"It's really hard to see them go," Bil said after the ceremony. "They were a really good group of kids. They are amazing and I will miss them."
"You get so attached to them, it's hard; you just want to take them as your own," Hartsig added.
Many of the families felt the same way.
"(They) are so dedicated," said Michael Regoni, whose grandson, Warren, had just graduated. "They have done an awesome job with the kids. My interaction with both of them has been outstanding throughout the entire year. Warren loves them both. They did a really, really good job."

I have recently commented in this blog on the opportunities for sharing services that overlap, particularly in the public sector. Most organisations have similar support functions that can be shared with others, providing the right procedures around data security and ease of use are addressed.
This has not been questioned in the private sector because it is essential for survival. The private sector has had a rough ride in most developed economies since the downturn in 2008, and the UK is no exception. It could be argued that with growth still within the margin for error, the UK has yet to really recover.
So nobody has to convince private sector companies of the benefits for sharing HR, or payroll, or finance and accounting services, either through outsourcing or by reducing a multiplication of effort by several divisions within the same organisation. It seems that many in the public sector still need convincing though.
A new report from the analyst firm Ovum suggests that half of all European public sector CIOs don't think that the savings are worth the upheaval. Changing software, systems, retraining staff, migrating data – it's a complex process to venture into a shared service arrangement with no guarantee of success. But as the story in Computer Weekly notes, the NHS is doing it, police services are doing it, councils are doing it.
Is it time for the bar to be lowered on how much needs to be saved to make sharing worthwhile?

What is the biggest change in outsourcing over the past decade? Probably the level to which it has become an established part of the executive toolkit – no longer an exotic strategy adopted by the manager as he returns from a career-break spent completing an MBA at Harvard.
Outsourcing has become a normal and accepted business strategy for different types of company and business functions. But there is a world of difference between procuring a service and working with a partner. Despite the way most suppliers toss around 'partnership' during the sales process.
As outsourcing has matured though, it has become clear that it works best when there is a genuine sense of partnership and collaboration. This is hard to create, and even harder to sell, but it is possible.
What is needed though, is for the buyer of a service to appreciate that they are buying from an expert, not trying to find the cheapest possible deal from a company they don't care about at all. The service provider has to understand that they are not going to just deliver a service at the lowest possible cost, but they are going to become an integral part of the client's supply chain.
Traditionally the power has always been with the client. They are buying the service and they call the shots. But as it becomes clearer that many client firms are really just brands with a controlled network of suppliers, who has the power?
It is not that suppliers have suddenly achieved the upper hand, but their importance in making a business relationship work is acknowledged far more today, and that opens the door to a genuine partnership where doing well together works for both client and supplier.

Beginning in September 2009, Leno started a primetime talk show, titled The Jay Leno Show, which aired weeknights at 10:00 p.m. (Eastern Time, UTC-5), also on NBC. After The Jay Leno Show was canceled in January 2010 amid a host controversy, Leno returned to host The Tonight Show with Jay Leno on March 1, 2010. James "Jay" Leno was born in New Rochelle, New York, in 1950. His mother, Catherine (née Muir; 1911–1993), a homemaker, was born in Greenock, Scotland, and came to the United States at age 11. Leno's father, Angelo (1910–1994), who worked as an insurance salesman, was born in New York to immigrants from Flumeri, Italy.

Leno's siblings include his late older brother, Patrick, who was a Vietnam veteran and a lawyer. During the 1970s, Leno appeared in minor roles in several television series and films, first in the 1976 episode "J.J. in Trouble" of Good Times and the same year in the pilot of Holmes & Yo-Yo.

For many people, having a bet is part of the excitement of
a day at the races. But it can be an intimidating experience until you get used
to it. Here is a simple guide to placing a bet.
You only need to do five things to place a bet at the racecourse:
Select your favoured horse(s) from the list of runners and riders and note their name(s) and number(s).
Decide the amount – or stake – you are comfortable to bet with.
Choose the type of bet you would like to place.
Decide which betting operator you are going to place your bet with.
Tell the betting operator the horse's number, the amount you want to bet and the type of bet e.g. "Number 5, €5 each-way"
Remember that some racecourse bookmakers might have a minimum amount you can bet (known as a stake).
Once you have placed your bet, hold on to your printed ticket – or betting slip – as if you win you have to hand this over to collect your winnings!
What to do if you win
After a race the winning and placed horses walk into the winner's enclosure. Jockeys dismount and return to the Weighing Room complex to weigh in with their kit and saddle.
Once this is completed to the satisfaction the race day officials you will hear "Weighed in, weighed in!" Broadcast over the tannoy. At this point the result of the race is official.
Simply hand over your betting slip to the betting operator you placed your bet with and you will receive your winnings! If you bet online, your account should be credited automatically.
Before the result of the race is officially announced, if race day officials – stewards – think a problem may have occurred in the race that could see its result changed they may call a "Stewards Enquiry" over the tannoy system. Once completed the placings will be announced!
Having a bet is not compulsory; the choice is entirely up to you and you should only ever bet what you can afford!
If you bet with a bookmaker or The Tote, keep hold of your ticket as you'll need it to collect any winnings!
Types of bets:-
The two types of bets which are the most popular with racegoers are to win and each-way.
To win:
You fancy a horse to win the race and if they do, you win your bet!
For example, a successful €2-win bet at odds of 4/1 will see you receive a pay out of €8, plus you get your €2 stake back.
Think your horse might win, but is more likely to come second or third? To improve your chances of winning you can bet each-way.
This is really two separate bets on the same horse – one for them to come first and the other for them to be placed. Because this is two bets, if you ask to put on "€2 each-way" you will be asked to pay €4 in total.
If your horse wins you will get a return from the win bet and also the place bet, because your horse placed in first position!
For example, a €2 each-way bet at odds of 4/1 will see you receive a pay-out of €8 for your €2-win bet, and then for your €2 place bet you will also receive a quarter or a fifth of that amount on top (dependent on the number of runners and type of race, see Understanding Odds). In addition, you will also get your €4 total stake back.
If your horse doesn't win the race, but finishes in the placings, you will get nothing for your win bet and lose this part of your stake. However, you have won your place bet and you will also get this part of your stake back.
For races with 4 runners or less, bookmakers will normally only take win bets. However, sometimes a bookmaker may choose to offer place terms on the second horse and this will be a fifth of that horse's odds.
Fractional odds:
These are usually displayed in this format: 4/1.
In spoken form this is "Four-to-one" and sometimes this can be written as: 4-1.
Odds are just maths. To illustrate some examples, let's call each number a unit. So:
4/1: For every 1 unit you stake, you will receive 4 units if you win (plus your stake).
7/2: For every 2 units you stake, you will receive 7 units if you win (plus your stake).
9/4: For every 4 units you stake, you will receive 9 units if you win (plus your stake).
If you see fractional odds the other way around – such as 1/4 – this is called odds-on and means the horse in question is a hot favourite to win the race.
In spoken form this is "Four-to-one on".
1/4: For every 4 units you stake, you will receive 1 unit if you win (plus your stake).
1/2: For every 2 units you stake, you will receive 1 unit if you win (plus your stake).
Sometimes you will see Evens or EVS displayed. This is the equivalent of a 1/1 fraction. Again, it means the horse in question is expected to win the race.
EVS: For every 1 unit you stake, you will receive 1 unit if you win (plus your stake).
Decimal odds:
These are usually displayed in this format: 5.00.
5.00: Simply multiply this number by your stake to calculate your total potential returns if you are placing a win bet. Unlike fractional odds, your stake is already factored into this price i.e. this is the equivalent of 4/1 plus the 1 unit you stake.
Each race has a favourite. This is the horse most likely to win, which is reflected in having the shortest price displayed with betting operators.
You will see an F alongside the horse's odds when they are the favourite. If more than one horse has the same odds of winning according to the betting market, this will be displayed as JF, meaning joint-favourite.
What about odds when betting each-way?
Racecourse bookmakers operating at Jockey Club Racecourses must meet (or exceed in the customer's favour) a standard set of terms if you decide to place an each-way bet.
You will appreciate it is not affordable for bookmakers to pay out on all four places in a four-runner race (!) so these agreed terms concerning place part of your each-way bet have to vary dependent on the number of runners and type of race.
These are:
• Races with 3 or runners: win bets only, unless the bookmaker chooses to offer 1/5 (one fifth) of the stated odds for finishing 1st or 2nd
• Races with 3 or 4 runners: 1/5 (one fifth) of the stated odds for finishing 1st or 2nd
• Races with 5 to 7 runners (inclusive): 1/4 (one quarter) odds for finishing 1st or 2nd
• Races with 8 or more runners: 1/5 odds for finishing 1st, 2nd or 3rd
• Handicap races with 12 to 15 runners (inclusive): 1/4 odds for finishing 1st, 2nd or 3rd
• Handicap races with 16 to 21 runners (inclusive): 1/5 odds for finishing 1st, 2nd, 3rd or 4th
• Handicap races with 22 or more runners: 1/4 odds for finishing 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th
Don't let betting jargon put you off. For example, you may hear phrases such as 'price', 'fixed-odds', 'SP', 'odds-on' or 'on the nose'. These are easily explained:
Price: This just means the odds a betting operator is offering you on a particular horse.
Fixed-odds: A fixed-odds bet is one where you get the odds advertised by the betting operator at the time you placed the bet.
SP: This stands for Starting Price and is the official odds a horse started the race with. You can ask to place an SP bet with a bookmaker. Some people do this if they think the horse they wish to bet on will start the race at a better price than is being advertised at the time, perhaps because of late money for another horse in the race.
Late money: You may hear this said when a horse is heavily backed in the final stages before a race.
Odds-on: When a horse is a strong favourite to win their price may be odds-on. This means you will make a profit of less than €1 for every €1 you bet on it. If the betting operator displays fractional prices, a horse that is odds-on will have a price where the larger number is on the bottom of the fraction i.e. 1/2. If a betting operator is using decimal odds, this will be displayed as a number less than 2.00.
Evens (Even money or EVS): When a horse is strong favourite to win their price may be described as Evens. This means you will make a profit of €1 for every €1 you bet on it. If a betting operator is using decimal odds, this will be displayed as 2.00.
Long odds: This means a horse is expected to have a low chance of winning the race, but if they do you will receive many multiples of your stake back as winnings if you have bet on it. For example, a horse priced at odds of 50/1 would be described as having long odds.
Short odds: This means a horse is expected to have a high chance of winning the race, but if they do you will make a relatively small profit on your stake if you have bet on it. For example, a horse priced at odds of 6/4 would be described as having short odds.
Racecourse bookmakers provide part of the magical ingredients of a race day.
A busy betting ring of bookmakers adds plenty to the atmosphere and sense of excitement at the racecourse. You will see them with their betting display boards (and sometimes bright umbrellas), usually in front of grandstands and on the rails that divide the different enclosures at the racecourse. This is known as the betting ring.
Racecourse bookmakers advertise the odds they will offer you on each horse in the next race on their display boards. While they may adjust these prices as money is wagered ahead of the race, you will receive the odds advertised for your horse at the time you place your bet – this is known as a fixed-odds bet.
Your potential winnings will be displayed on your printed ticket the bookmaker gives you when you place a bet.
Before placing your bet, you may wish to shop around to see if anyone is offering better odds on your horse than their fellow bookmakers. Equally, some experienced racegoers wait until the last possible moment before the race to place a bet if they believe the odds on their chosen horse will improve, but remember that prices can also decline – or shorten – and you could be too late getting your bet on!
Most betting operators allow you to sign up to bet with them on their websites and through their mobile apps. Here you will be able to view runners and riders and bet on your selections electronically. Any winnings will be credited to your online betting account automatically.

Everpix finally emerged on iPad and provides a convenient way to store all your photos in the cloud so they're accessible from anywhere. Also, there's an update to business app Podio, which also offers iPad support, and makes the project management software even more productive.
Indie Shuffle (Free)
What's it about? Indie Shuffle is a music app that provides curated, ad-free playlists based on similar artists and genres.

Who is it for? IndieShuffle should please music fans everywhere. Don't be put off by the word "indie" in the title, Indie Shuffle contains loads of different genres including hip-hop, electronic, folk, remixes and more. It's a great way to discover new artists with no ads and no listening limit.
What's it like? As mentioned above, the service is not dissimilar to music discovery services like Pandora Radio or Spotify, but with a less commercial vibe. It harnesses SoundCloud's platform in a unique way.
Everpix HD (Free)
What's it about? The photo backup and storage service finally arrived on the iPad after its initial iPhone release earlier this year.
What's cool? The idea behind Everpix is to help you spend time enjoying your photos rather than organizing them. Though the service costs $4.99/month (with a free 30-day trial), the storage space is unlimited. Everpix stores all your photos in the cloud and pulls them in from services like Flickr, Instagram and Facebook. They're organized automatically, easy to share and look great on the iPad's Retina display.
Who is it for? Everpix is perfect for people who upload images to a lot of different services. It keeps them all in sync, and the unlimited storage space means you never have to worry about running out of room. Your photos will be pretty much viewable from any device, too.

Podio update (Free)
What's it about? Podio is another app that just added iPad functionality to its recent update. Podio is designed to automate work tasks and help businesses become more efficient.
What's cool? The update extends Podio's core features (which includes workspaces, tasks, activity streams, meetings and calendars) to the iPad. The more-than 700 pre-built apps from the Podio's App Market are now available to iPad users, too.
Who is it for? Podio is great for project managers and it can also empower people to work from anywhere on any device. Its collaborative tools, social features and document management capabilities are all very powerful.
What's it like? There are other business project management iPad apps like iScope and Project Planning Pro available on the iTunes App Store.

With the adoption of the Sustainable Development Goals, the development community has set its guideposts for the next 15 years.
From our experience with the Millennium Development Goals, we know that there is tremendous value in setting targets; particularly, they focus attention and resources on internationally agreed priorities.
But more important than agreeing on goals is achieving them. As we now move into the implementation phase, one of the major keys to success will be improving how the community works together in pursuit of these new objectives.
The global development partnership should pay particular attention to three critical elements of the endeavor:
1. Pursuing integrated approaches that are multisector and multidisciplinary;
2. Taking a new look at funding structures; and
3. Effective scaling.
Integrating development work
The sheer amount of knowledge, experience and capabilities that different stakeholders in development bring to the table is an uplifting reminder of the potential of our community to transform the lives of the poor over the next 15 years.
It also sheds light on an opportunity to break down sector- and discipline-specific silos to build more integrated approaches that tackle development challenges from every angle.
The hardest, last-mile problems of international development persist because they are complex and require a multidisciplinary approach.
Improving food security, for example, requires addressing multiple facets — availability, access, utilization and stability — in a coordinated way. Increased agricultural productivity for smallholder farmers means little if markets do not function or diets remain nutritionally inadequate.
The U.S. Agency for International Development's ENVISION project is one example of a development program operating successfully across disciplines. It necessarily draws on a wide and diverse body of experts in infectious diseases, health systems, epidemiology, data science, information and communications technology, and other areas, to reduce the burden of neglected tropical diseases as a public health problem.
Building such integrated approaches, however, is easier said than done. Research identifying potential fruitful synergies between and within sectors — and how to build them — is key to unlocking the power of integration.
Structuring funding for success
For programs to operate successfully across sectors and disciplines, funding must be structured accordingly. We are beginning to see some initial positive steps.
The health sector is moving away from "vertical" funding initiatives that focus on a particular disease to more integrated programs that are supportive of strengthening overall health systems. Similarly, the development community is increasingly supporting integrated approaches to tackle poverty and hunger that cross the traditionally defined sectors.
More needs to be done, as illustrated most starkly by the Ebola outbreak in West Africa. Despite the success of well-resourced programs focused on combatting specific challenges such as HIV and AIDS, country health systems were not sufficiently robust to handle the crisis. As the Gates Foundation notes: "Without a systematic effort to improve coordination and create shared delivery channels, health programs will remain fragmented and resources will be wasted on redundant systems."
Funding structures that support a diverse — yet inextricably connected — range of goals and approaches will be a vital innovation in pursuit of the SDGs.
Scaling for sustainability
Ultimately, SDG-level success requires scaling. That an intervention worked in a village does not necessarily mean that it will work nationally or regionally; funding can sometimes "muscle" a program to small-scale success, while lack of physical or systemic infrastructure — or simple differences from one village to another — can preclude the same approach from being successful on a separate or broader level.
Several principles underpin successful program scaling:
First, implementers must gather evidence of what has worked and what has not, correctly assess how that translates to a broader level, and apply that information on the broader level.
Second, the program must have demonstrated success, not just in terms of administering aid, but in changing behaviors.
Third, programs must be designed and administered with enough flexibility so that they may be tailored on the ground. Implementers must capitalize on effective program components; conversely, failing components should be allowed to fail fast.
Lastly, data will be key to informing the way forward. Advancements in disciplines such as cognitive computing and data analysis have opened opportunities for a "data revolution for development" to help transform development approaches around the world and bring them to scale. RTI International's Luis Crouch recently published a paper analyzing four critical points for making the data revolution relevant for development:
1. Improve the quality and use of "little data";
2. Better integrate, curate and classify;
3. Add analytical value; and
4. Demonstrate uses.
In the broadest sense, the SDGs are a challenge for the global development partnership as a whole. But in a practical, day-to-day sense, they represent a special challenge for each individual development actor — to look at ourselves not as contributing to specific components in isolation, but as part of an integrated movement whose individual actions have the potential to add up to a sum greater than their parts.
That is how we'll turn the potential embodied by the development community into outcomes, and ultimately how we'll turn these goals into achievements.

Box Score | Season Stats | 2018 Schedule
The Basics
Score: Oral Roberts 5 – Missouri State 6
Records: ORU (8-6) – MSU (9-5)
Location: Springfield, Missouri (Hammons Field)
SPRINGFIELD, Missouri – The Oral Roberts baseball team led early on the road Tuesday at Missouri State and could not hold off a late-inning rally by the Bears in a 6-5 loss at Hammons Field.
The Golden Eagles held a 3-0 lead in the bottom of the seventh, but the home side charged back scoring four times. ORU responded right away by taking advantage of two walks in the eighth as Noah Cummings drove a two-run double to the wall in right center swinging momentum back to its favor with a 5-4 margin.
MSU scored twice in the bottom of the ninth getting three hits and a walk before the winning run raced home on a wild pitch.
Four different players posted multi-hit efforts for ORU on the day led by Cummings' two hits, two RBI and two walks. Jared Montoya added a pair of doubles, while Riley Keizor finished with two singles and both recorded two walks to reach base four times.
Quote of the Day
"It's tough. We just made a couple mistakes late and had to pay for it. Grant and Kyler have been good all year long. Those were the first runs they've given up all year. We just needed to overcome and weren't able to get it done." – Head Coach Ryan Folmar
Turning Point
Missouri State erased the Golden Eagles' one-run lead in the ninth getting three bloop singles on closer Kyler Stout and eventually scored the winning run on a wild pitch. A lead-off single moved into scoring position on a sacrifice bunt and back-to-back singles plated the tying run. MSU tallied the win on a ball four wild pitch.
Inside the Box Score
- ORU's starting pitcher Taylor Varnell set a new career high by striking out eight MSU hitters as he gave up only three hits and zero runs in 4.2 innings of work.
- Nick Rotola dropped a perfect, RBI squeeze bunt in the fifth pushing the Golden Eagles' lead to 3-0. A controversial call at second base ended the frame with runners on the corners and took one run off the board.
- Relievers Brady Womacks and Colton Larkins combined for five strikeouts and held MSU to one hit over 2.2 innings.
- ORU drew a season-high nine walks as a team, four more than it earned in the first game of the season.
- The Golden Eagles bullpen duo of Grant Townsend and Stout entered the afternoon having not allowed an earned run. It was the first time this season in six chances where Stout was unable to convert the save opportunity.
Up Next
ORU opens Summit League play with a weekend series back in Tulsa, Oklahoma, March 16-18 facing South Dakota State. Game one gets underway Friday night at 6:30 p.m. with full coverage on ESPN3 from J.L. Johnson Stadium.

Marine Sanctuary Mapping
Good day sir:
I am working with the Local Government Unit (LGU) of Bantayan, Cebu, Philippines (Bantayan island) helping the communities establish marine sanctuary. My concern is does the Open Channels website can help me update our marine sanctuary maps of many communities? I can give upload the recent GPS reading of those duly approved marine sanctuaries. We use WGS 84.
I am also a subscriber of the MPA News and MEAM in the past few years which I receive hard copies of the news letters.
Thank you sir.
Some suggestions
Hi Ceasar,
We (the OpenChannels Team) doesn't do any mapping. That's not part of our mission. However, one group that may be able to help is the Coastal Conservation and Education Foundation. Dr. Patrick Christie from the University of Washington's School of Marine and Environmental Affairs (where my office is based!) does work in the Philippines (and he's there right now) on MPAs/marine sanctuaries. He may be able to offer some guidance as well.
-Nick Wehner, OpenChannels Project Manager

The Role of Internet and Mobile in Israel's Gaza Strip Bombing
On December 27 2008, Israel launched a series of air strikes, known as Operation Cast Lead, against targets in the Gaza Strip, killing more than 400 Palestinians and injuring more than 2200 over the week (Wikipedia/ NowPublic/ Mahalo/ Global Voices/ CrisisWire).
The Israel-friendly Help Us Win blog (Facebook/ Twitter) says that "the war is not only on the ground - but also in the international media" and encourages Israel's supporters to "tell Israel's side of the story" and "ensure that the international coverage of the Campaign Against Hamas is balanced".
In fact, the Israel propaganda machinery is in full flow to ensure that everyone gets to hear Israel's side of the story. The Israel Defense Force has a blog and a YouTube channel, the Israel consulate in New York held a press conference on Twitter and summarized the discussion on their Israel Politik blog, and the Likud prime ministerial candidate Benjamin Netanyahu is active on both Twitter and YouTube. -- /snap/

As a surname it is a variant of the Spanish last name Albizo, itself derived from the Basque name Albiasu. The word albiasu is a contraction of the words albitz, which means "hay", and tsu, which means "many". Thus, Albiso can be translated as "haystack". Some translations include "rocky ground" or "stony place".
The Albiso family most likely began in the lower half of Argao, most particularly in the southwestern portion. As the current distribution of the last name indicates the family most likely began in the barrios of Canbantug, Balaas, and Cansuje. However, by the time of the Claveria decree the family was quite scattered throughout Argao, thereby making it a bit difficult to connect every line to each other. From available records most Albisos from Argao can be traced to any of 5 distinct lines.
Most of its members today use the spelling "Albiso" though some members spell it as either Albeso and Alvizo.
NOTE: When in parenthesis, the person did not have a surname during his/her lifetime.
(1) Francisco Lembago (Albiso) & Maria Juanica. Franisco Lembago was born sometime in the mid-1700s. He and his wife Maria Juanica had one documented child, Pedro Protacio, who married Juana Maricuel. They had the following children:
A. Antonio Protasio Albiso, who married Maria Domingila Sarona. They had the following children:
a. Liberato Albiso, who married Martina Mangala
b. Cristiano Albiso, who married (1) Vicenta Llerin and (2) Basilia Bajenting
c. Dionisio Protasio Albiso, who married Maria Juliana Cambe
d. Adelina Protasia Albiso, who married Mateo Cornelio ALCASAR
e. Serafino Albiso, who married Isidora Bajenting
B. Tomas Protacio Albiso, who married Maria Luisa Llena. They had the following children:
a. Calisto Agustin Albiso, Cecilia Petrona Mamac
b. Agustin Claodio Albiso, Maria Dionisia Allaoan
c. Simeon Albiso, Eleuteria Villegas
C. Julian Albiso, who married Barbara Tapinit. The surname Albiso is extinct in his line as all his children were women. His descendants carry the last names Mamonong (2 lines) and Morcillos.
(2) Agustin Fajardo & Catalina Sarceda. Agustin Fajardo was most likely a brother or first cousin of Francisco Lembaga (see #1). He was born in the mid0-1700s. He and his wife had one daughter, Manuela Albiso, who married Ygnacio SARDONCILLO. This is another extinct Albiso line.
(3) Tomas Pedro Albiso & Serafina Gicale. Born sometime in the late 1700s, Tomas Pedro is a possible son of Francisco Lembago. He and his wife had four children:
A. Victoriano Albiso, who married Adriana Omboy.
B. Alipia Albiso, who married Candelario PANERIO
C. Hermogenes Albiso, who married Tranquilina Gelera
D. Balbina Albiso, who married Toribio SARONA.
(4) Andres Hilario Albiso & Cecilia Florencia. Most likely a son of Pedro Protacio (see #1). He was born in the early 1800s and he and his wife had one child:
A. Pablo Protacio Albiso, who married Maria Dorotea Amarillo. They had 8 children, all of whom have descendants today:
a. German Albiso, who married Maxima Egona
b. Victor Albiso, who married Lucia Geagonia
c. Yanuario Albiso, who married Juana Pangcug
d. Ysidora Albiso, who married Anacleto GEVANA
e. Francisca Albiso, who married Francisco TEMPLA
f. Severina Albiso, who married Santos MANELA
g. Gregorio Albiso, who married Maria Manela
h. Domingo Albiso, who married Timotea Gemenes
(5) Fruto Albiso & Gregoria Revilla. They had two children:
A. Antonio Albiso, who married Celedonia Cambarijan. They had the following children:
a. Cresencia Albiso
b. Valeriana Albiso
c. Montano Albiso, married Nicolasa Parantar
d. Eustaquia Albiso, married Cenon FAMOR
B. Mateo Albiso, who married Leocadia Cambarijan. They had one son:
a. Fausto Albiso, who married Feliciana Camporedondo.

Light up those circuit boards
Where do old circuit boards go after the technology they powered has become obsolete? If they're lucky, they get recycled into arresting pieces of home decor, like this circuit board standing lamp. The concept is inspired in its simplicity - just surround each bulb with circuit boards to cast a soft glow that's nonetheless got that modern edge. Every circuit board is different, of course, so no two lamps are exactly the same.
At $900 from Uncommon Goods, this lamp doesn't come cheap, even though I'd feel good that it's made from materials that aren't biodegradable and would otherwise sit in a landfill for centuries to come. A less daunting option might be the circuit board table lamps for $220-$280, but I think the standing lamp brings a much stronger accent to a room.
