Many people now know stress, anxiety, and depression. People admit to having stressful life situations, or what is called life stressors. Unfortunately, they don't see it as a problem. It is not always a problem though. It can be a positive thing, too. If you keep acing the life stressors tests, good for you.
Well, not everyone can handle all life throws at him or her. Some people require help. Stress can lead to devastating consequences if it goes unchecked. The most common direction is depression. At that stage, suicidal thoughts are not far away. Before it reaches that level, people often use maladaptive coping mechanisms such as drug or substance abuse.
Luckily, some professionals specialize in this field. Psychiatrists form the bulk of these professionals. A trip to one the best psychologists can make a difference in your life. It can be the end of a life of pain and worry, and welcome a stress-free life full of life, energy, and positivity. It can be a difference between enduring through life and living a blast.
Here are the reasons you should make that appointment.
You Don't Have To Wait Until It Is Too Late
The first measure of life stressors is the frequency and intensity. If it keeps occurring, there is no need trying to deal with it alone. You should get help. You don't have to attempt to do it alone. Some people wait, hoping they can overcome the situation, to their detriment. Instead of things improving, they escalate to toxic levels.
Stress and anxiety can cost you treasured things in life such as a job, spouse, children, or even a family. The earlier you rectify the situation, the higher your chances of success. Stress also tends to be cyclical. The more pressure you get, the more you will plunge yourself in more stressful situations.
For example, if a job is giving stress, the chances are that you will soon lose the job if the situation is not rectified. Such a traumatic life event will leave you in more misery. Your ability to focus will be impaired and your chances of landing another job severed. If you seek help immediately, you will save yourself from all that.
You Can Save Yourself Money
Unlike people who have to try out all manner of remedies, including and not limited to self-management and care, you will have fewer bills to pay. You don't have to go out there hunting for solutions. People opt for professional help when all others have failed. At that time, the situation has worsened, and the options are few. The more the problem escalates, the longer it will take to reverse it.
It will require more money than it would have otherwise used. It will also cost you more in time lost, productivity foregone, and destroyed relationships. Stress or anxiety can quickly become a depression, which is a severe mental complication. Patients suffering from it will require specialized care, support, and extensive time to reverse it.
They Have the Right Resources for the Job
There is the natural tendency to handle challenges. Only one in every three employees in America reports a stress-free work environment. Children in school are also affected by stress. Even at the old age after retirement, stress is still following people. The belief that you can hack it is overwhelming. Most of the time you will succeed, but at times the force may be too much to handle.
People report increased stress after traumatic life events such as the loss of a loved one, job, freedom or even a treasured asset. Stress and depression levels escalate during economic downtimes, too. Some people seem to handle it fine; the rest of the group needs care.
A professional has all the resources required to diagnose and treat. They have supportive mechanisms that can improve your outcomes within a reasonable time. You don't have to wait forever to resume your normal business functions.
Can Provide You with a Holistic Approach
You are bound to encounter roadblocks in life. You cannot avoid them entirely no matter how hard you try. Professionals know that. They personalize your care in a way that you can better deal with your day-to-day life. They start with therapy to understand your situation. After that, they develop a program that works well for you. If you need supportive care outside the psychiatric help, they will refer you to the right professional.
The most important aspect of professional help is management. As noted, stressful situations will more often than not recur. You need a system that you can rely on to overcome challenges. A professional has experience in handling more than one case. He or she will focus on the causes.
You Can Prevent Problems Before They Emerge
As you grow, life stressors tend to increase. When you are young, your stressors may include schoolwork and social problems such as the need to fit in. As you age, you will have a job to replace or add onto the schools work, a relationship, and a family to nurture. If you gain the rhythm of how to handle smaller stressors, you will competently navigate the others.
Professionals give attention to every life stressor. They don't gloss over the problems as self-care programs would do. They realize the importance of turning all the stones in your life. Sometimes anxiety can be fixed by dealing with traumatic events in your past. Only a professional would know such a thing.
They Provide Effective Programs
The first thing you should do is to notice the symptoms. If you see a combination of the following items, look no further. You may need to see a specialist.
- Irritability
- Sleeplessness
- Palpitation
- Muscle tension
- Lack of concentration
- Frustration
- Apathy
- Indecision
The surest way to deal with any stressful event is to seek professional help. After the initial evaluation, the doctor will guide you on how to go about it.

Imagine all the things we might learn from a previously uncontacted tribe of people living deep in the jungle. They could have important knowledge about native species and ecology, for example, or offer unique insights into human culture. That's why, in the past, when isolated groups were "discovered" by outsiders, all kinds of people rushed in, from anthropologists to geneticists to medical professionals.
But rarely has this contact turned out well for the indigenous people themselves. In the Amazon rainforest alone, more than 11,000 members of indigenous societies died from 117 epidemics between 1875 and 2008, as University of Missouri anthropologist Rob Walker told Vice News in 2015. About 75 percent of those deaths were reportedly due to just three diseases: measles, malaria or the flu. There are still an estimated 100 uncontacted or isolated tribes around the world, Walker added, and they too likely have little or no immunity to outside pathogens.
Physical illness isn't the only threat. In the past, many indigenous people have been forcibly converted to various religions, pressured to wear certain clothing and otherwise robbed of their cultures. That's why Brazil, where the majority of today's remaining isolated tribes live, has a special government agency called Funai designed to protect isolated indigenous people.
The organization must prove the people exist, however, to secure protections for them and the land where they live. There is pressure from developers, palm oil plantations and miners to enter pristine areas and exploit them. So Funai has come up with a number of ways to gather evidence without directly contacting the people involved.
Using a drone
One way is by finding and publishing physical evidence of the people without meeting them. This evidence can take the form of hand tools, boats, shelter, art or other objects the people have left behind. On a recent trip, which included more than 100 miles of travel via river, motorcycle and truck (and 75 more on foot through dense forest), evidence of a new tribe was found.
This time, a drone was also used to gather evidence, even going as far as showing the people in question (see video above). Is this an invasion of privacy? Some people think so, but Funai argues there is intense pressure to develop some of the last remaining tracts of forest where uncontacted people live, and this is the evidence they need to protect them.
On the most recent visit, the Funai team was accompanied by police, which turned out to be a smart move:
"One landowner in the region, who sought to illegally occupy part of the Mawetek Indigenous Land, was warned by Funai staff, as well as two other livestock owners were formally notified with time to withdraw their goods and correct their fences accordingly with the boundaries of the Mawetek Indigenous Land," according to a Funai press release on the subject.
Once proof of a new group of people is confirmed, Funai should have enough evidence to keep outsiders out, and to punish those in violation of lands set aside for indigenous people.
"Vigilance and surveillance should be intensified in the region to curb the actions of violators and ensure the full possession of the territory by the indigenous people," says Vitor Góis, a Funai fieldworker, in the organization's release.
It's an imperfect system — you have to wonder about what the uncontacted people must think of the drones hovering above them — but it's ultimately aimed at doing a small amount of damage to avoid destroying a traditional way of life.

"Move out of your comfort zone. You can only grow if you are willing to feel awkward and uncomfortable when you try something new." -Brian Tracy
I've been presented recently with several opportunities to step outside my comfort zone. I like to think of them as not so gentle shoves from God. 😉
A couple of weeks ago, I was asked by the friend that teaches a doggie manners class at our local dog club to cover the class last week while she was out of town. The first thing that struck me was that I said yes without hesitation. The old me would have totally freaked out and come up with a thousand excuses why I couldn't Or at the very least pushed it off on someone else. And guess what? It went amazingly well. I had the skills, just not the confidence in myself.
The second time, I was at a recovery function. Which is big for me anyway because in the past I would avoid any social situation whatsoever. Anyway, a bunch of people were playing volleyball. I did my normal sit on the sidelines deal, but someone asked me to play. Which normally would have been met with pretty much "Hell, NO!" But something has changed. So I agreed. Now this may not seem like a big deal to many people, but let me tell you I can count the number of times I've participated in group sports on my fingers and have fingers left over. And the number of times I've played volleyball? Um, if I ever have I don't remember doing it. So yeah, way out of my comfort zone. And of course, I totally sucked. But SO WHAT? I still had fun.
A week later, I got asked my someone in my recovery group if I would be willing to present her clean time medallion if her sponsor couldn't make it (due to a death in the family). My reply? "Of course!" Let me tell you, public speaking about ranks up there with dental work for me BUT the thing I have now that I never had before is willingness. Willingness to be open to trying new things. And the ability to follow through. Recovery has taught me this, and for that I am so grateful.
There are so many things I do now, both in and out of recovery, that are way outside my comfort zone. Pure Barre for one. I feel like uncoordinated cow who is totally out of place. I am surrounded, literally, by a room full of mostly young skinny women who dress like they are at a fashion show. They seem to have no problems executing every move and not making ugly pain faces or cussing out loud. HAH! But it's all ok. And it's good for me. Eating clean was once way out of my comfort zone. I had no idea what that even meant. But now, it's a lifestyle, not a struggle. Heck, at one point boot camp was even out of my comfort zone. Theses days I'm encouraging others to come.
So I got to thinking that every time I get pushed out of my comfort zone, and I don't resist, I grow. I don't always enjoy growing. Growing pains can be a bitch. But the result I get from it is worth it. Not staying in the same place would be even more painful, and I'm just not willing to stay the same. Staying the same will take me back to places I'm not willing to go. My life today is just too good. Moving out of your comfort zone doesn't have to be a giant leap. Baby steps are still forward motion. And that's the goal, mine anyway. Keep moving forward and keep growing. What are you doing to step out of yours?

Dragging or copying images only make links
I recently discovered what I think is a flaw by design when editing a Microsoft PowerPoint presentation file (*.ppt) in OpenOffice Impress: When you drag and drop or copy and paste an image into your PowerPoint presentation, Impress only makes a symbolic link to the image file on your hard drive instead of making a hard copy of the actual image. This is good for keeping the size of the ppt file small but becomes disastrous if you transfer your ppt file to another computer for viewing. In the latter case, your presentation will show up with its images missing and replaced by red crosses that indicate broken links!The reason the links are broken is that they point to files on the computer where you made the presentation in the first place! This can lead to some very embarrassing situations where you show up with your presentation on a memory stick and only then discover that all the images are
I am uncertain if this problem pertains to OO Impress only or happens when using MS PowerPoint as well.
Problem solution
To fix the problem you have two options:
- Post hoc solution: Click on Edit –> Links… in Impress to see all image links. For each of the images, click on Break Link to ensure that a hardcopy of the image is used instead of a link. Note that this will increase the overall file size.
- Proactive solution: Do not use drag and drop or copy and paste of images into Impress. Instead, use Insert –> Picture –> From File… and make sure that Link is not checked.
Default behaviour should be changed
In my opinion, the default behaviour should be to make a hardcopy of the image. At the most, Impress could make a suggestion about using links to reduce file size but if so underline the dangers of missing images if copying the ppt file to a different computer.
Surely there are thousands of people out there, particularly less computer savvy ones, who will not understand why the images are missing and how to fix it.
Note that the same problem may occur for other media files, such as sound and video files. I also suspect that the problem may occur in OO Writer/MS Word and possibly email clients such as Outlook.
When to use linking
Finally, keep in mind that in some cases, such as dealing with lots of media files in your presentation, you may actually want to use file linking instead of inserting the actual media files. If so, you could keep all your media files in the same directory, or a subdirectory, as the ppt file. When you need to transfer your presentation to a different computer, you must transfer the entire directory, not just ppt file. Note, however, that apparently there may still be linking errors due to Impress/PowerPoint using absolute file paths (see below for solutions to this)!

One in Ten...Shabby (and Deservedly So)
American Idol (a show which appears on one network) had 18 million viewers.
Immediately following American Idol (on all the major networks) the State of the Union Address had 24 million viewers. (All the Republicans stand up and clap!!!)
Isn't that a state of the union in itself?
Of the 24 million who watched, 16 million consider themselves Republicans.
As for me and my household, we watched "Wedding Crashers!"
I haven't missed a SOTU Address in over 20 years. It was quite easy to miss this one.

Recent reviews
Good 7,8 From 614 reviews
This hotel is very convenient to Honqiao airport terminal 1, however our flight was terminal 2. For terminal 2 we could take free shuttle bus at 6am though so it was still convenient. The best part of the stay was the friendliness of the staff. The only negative point was the lack of refrigerator. Other than that quite clean, convenient, with great staff.
The room that I got was in the old wing, the passage was dirty and smelling. he price i paid for the service that I got i feel was more.
Convenient location.....close to subway station for an overnight stay. Service is okay but cleanliness & comfortness are just average. Breakfast is below average.
I was on transit through Hongqiao Airport/Railway Station and I decided to book this place for a few hours. The hotel is excellent in all aspects. Staff are great, room is large and comfortable, WiFi is top notch. This was my second stay and I will be returning soon. Great value for money

MEMPHIS, Tenn. – Cell phone video shows a man covering his face and reaching for a woman's cell phone after the woman said he flashed her on an Overton Park trail.
Anastasia Simpson said she was walking to the Old Forest Trail last Tuesday when a woman warned her about a man with his shorts down, pleasuring himself in the middle of the trail.
"This is my park, this is my trail, I need this walk. I walk here every day and I'm not gonna, you know, let this deter," said Simpson.
She said it wasn't long before she spotted the man for herself.
"About 20 feet away, there he was in the middle of the trail and he made a show of what he was doing," Simpson said.
At that point, she said she began filming him on her cell phone.
"I was laughing and I said, 'I got you,' and I showed him I had him on video," she said.
"I was saying, 'Show your face. Show your face. You showed us everything else,' and so he jumped me."
Simpson said the man struggled with her for her phone, before running off with it. She said she followed, but eventually lost sight of him.
She was able to retrieve a four-second video clip of the encounter from her phone's online backup system, but was unable to track the phone because the alleged flasher had apparently turned it off.
"I hope for one that they catch him. I think that even in between this little trail if it's something that they never think about, it is something for us to enjoy, but somewhere down the line they need to have some sort of security system," said park visitor Mareco Wilson.
Simpson said police responded to Overton Park the day of the incident, but when she left a message for detectives offering them the video, she said they never followed up.
WREG asked Memphis police if they planned to use the video to identify the suspect and a spokeswoman said she would check with investigators in the morning.
Simpson said the man stands about 5' 5" and was wearing a dirty white shirt with dark shorts.

So Shaun Edwards will not, after all, be staying on as Wales defence coach following the 2019 World Cup in Japan.
Edwards had been expected to stay on with Wales, having turned down jobs with Wasps and Wigan RL in recent weeks but, it appears, was ultimately unimpressed by the 2 year contract on offer from the WRU.
The French national team would now appear to be favourites to secure his services, but what price Edwards joining the England set-up post World Cup with a view to taking over from Eddie Jones in 2021?
How many other Englishmen have Edwards' international coaching experience?
Sadly such a scenario would involve the RFU moving quickly and decisively. I shan't be holding my breath.

Members of Anonymous managed to tap into an FBI conference call recently, after which they put a recording of the call on the open Web. The news has raised concern in many corners of the security industry. "The odds are that cybersecurity at the FBI and Scotland Yard is on par with, or superior to, security at most corporations," Abrams said.
The hacker community Anonymous on Friday landed another blow in its war with the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).
It posted an internal memo from the law enforcement agency about an upcoming international call to discuss hackers. Anonymous also put up a recording of the call itself onYouTube.
The attacks are part of a concerted hacker effort against the FBI.
"The information was intended for law enforcement officers only and was illegally obtained," the FBI said in a statement sent to TechNewsWorld by spokesperson Jenny Shearer. "A criminal investigation is underway to identify and hold accountable those responsible."
The recorded call was a conversation between the FBI and Scotland Yard regarding tracking Anonymous members and other digital activists. It also involved other details about the efforts against such groups.

Insulin resistance is a condition that develops when the body cells become resistant to the effects of insulin. Insulin is a hormone produced by the pancreas. Insulin helps to transport glucose into cells where it is converted into energy. In case of insulin resistance, when cells fail to respond to insulin, glucose levels start to increase in the blood and the body responds by producing more insulin. In time, this can lead to a state of hyperinsulinemia, featured by elevated levels of insulin in the blood. Insulin resistance is not a disease but it is associated with several health problems. Insulin resistance can either cause or be caused by medical conditions such as cardiovascular disease, hypertension, type 2 diabetes, obesity, fatty liver and polycystic ovarian syndrome.
Causes of Insulin ResistanceThere are several possible causes of insulin resistance. In some people, insulin resistance can be present at birth (congenital insulin resistance). In most cases, it develops due to genetic predisposition or because of an unhealthy lifestyle. Lack of physical activity can be responsible for development of insulin resistance. Medical conditions that can lead to the condition include: metabolic syndrome, obesity and infections. Pregnancy, stress and use of drugs like steroids can also trigger insulin resistance.
Complications of Insulin Resistance
Insulin resistance can cause many health problems. It can lead to metabolic syndrome, a term used for number of conditions that occur together. They include: high blood pressure, high triglycerides, low HDL (good cholesterol) and excess body fat around the waist. Metabolic syndrome increases the risk for cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes. Metabolic syndrome can cause diabetes because of increased levels of glucose. Heart disease can be caused by metabolic syndrome due to high blood pressure and high cholesterol that contribute to build up of plaque in arteries. People with metabolic syndrome are typically insulin resistant. Risks for both metabolic syndrome and insulin resistance increases with age. Overweight people, particularly people with abdominal obesity are especially at risk. According to one study, around 10% of young adults and 44% of people above 60 years of age suffer from metabolic syndrome. In case of insulin resistance, the percentage is much higher.
Signs and Symptoms of Insulin ResistanceInsulin resistance is in most cases asymptomatic. However, several signs and symptoms can indicate presence of the condition. They include: high blood pressure, increased levels of blood triglycerides, high blood sugar, weight gain, intestinal bloating, sleepiness, fatigue, increased hunger, depression and difficulty focusing.

The analyst company said that despite some predictions that the market is in terminal decline, the sector is set for a return to growth based on new platform releases and rising console penetration and spending in select developing economies.
The IDC study Worldwide Game and Interactive Entertainment Console Hardware and Software 2011 -2015 Forecast, notes that the overall economic climate has impacted on consoles, and there has been weak spending overall in the US this summer, but that sales of consoles and software discs is expected to show a CAGR of 3.6% between 2010 and 2015, when the market will reach $39.7 billion. In developing economies the market will grow twice as fast as in developed markets.
"Total console hardware and disc-based software revenues are on track to slide a few percent in 2011 compared to 2010," says Lewis Ward, research manager, Consumer Markets: Gaming, at IDC. "But prognostications that consoles have peaked as a product category are premature. I expect that the launch of the Wii U, a revamped interactive entertainment console from Microsoft in the 2014 timeframe, and the arrival of Sony's 'PS4' circa 2015 - along with more than a few exclusive, innovative games - will help drive a new wave of console-centric spending in the next several years."
Overall household install base of gaming consoles will decline by about 1% by 2015, with around 257m active consoles, or 12.7% of households. IDC attributes this drop to the rise of 'casual' gaming on tablets, phones and social network sites.
IDC also expects Sony's Playstation 3 platform, which is already five years old, to repeat the 'long tail' of it's predecessor console, the PS2, by having the largest active install base of any console by 2015. The PS2, the best selling console of all time, with 153 million units shipped, has shown surprising longevity, with console and games still available today, 11 years after it launched.

Happy May Day, beloved
On an International Workers' Day that's dawned fine and clear here in London, I want to take a moment to celebrate the pivotal events of May on the occasion of their fiftieth anniversary.
Let's be crystal-clear that the struggles of May left us with a legacy that is by no means uncomplicated. More than a few of those who threw their bodies on the barricades then and in the months that followed shamefully spearheaded the turn to neoliberalism just a few years down the road, as the intellectual winds started to blow from a different quarter. The language and symbols of the moment have often been coöpted in the decades since, used to advance political and commercial agendas that would surely have struck the demonstrators at the Sorbonne (and their counterparts in Chicago, Prague, Mexico City and elsewhere) as obscene. Adding insult to injury, images of May are more than occasionally invoked by sentimental veterans of the left as a stick to beat younger activists with — taking them to task for not somehow bringing society to its knees in a matter of weeks every time there's a new wave of dissent, as though the entire economic/sociotechnical/media milieu hadn't changed a whit in the half-century since Danny the Red leapt the CRS fences.
And yet, and yet. We (OK: I) return time and again to those indelible, iconic Atelier Populaire posters, and the images of Paris ripped up, barricaded, shrouded in a fog of war gas they so reliably conjure, for the pure hit of Situationist verve and sheer insurgent insouciance they offer, even at such a long remove. If there's a task before us, it's to ensure that those images live as channels of power from their moment to ours: that we avoid turning them into fetish, shrine for a dead and irretrievable vector of possibility, or worst of all, decor. If we use them properly, in fact, they're a goad, a potent reminder that the impossible is still a thing that lays before us to demand, and to achieve.
Happy May Day, beloved.

Tyra Riverbend Lodge offers a number of amenities for your stay. There is a central meeting area, exercise room, 2 hot tubs, one inside and one outside, sauna, and steamroom.
NOTE FROM THE OWNERS: Hi! We live in Conifer CO so Breckenridge is a pretty quick drive through Fairplay and over Hoosier Pass. We love the quaint and historical feel of Breckenridge and my husband grew up in Summit County skiing and sailing in Frisco/Dillon so Summit County feels like home. We have 3 kids, the youngest of which just left for CSU in Ft. Collins so we have joined the 'empty-nester' group...it seemed so far away but has happened quickly. All 3 of our kids snowboard and have loved the convenience of our ski in / ski out condo. We are sure you will too!
Why Tyra IV Riverbend Lodge:
We looked at alot of properties in Breckenridge and decided we wanted a true ski in / ski out location. Being next to the Snowflake Lift is such a great feature! We also like the location of our condo because the river runs behind us making it a beautiful summer location too. There is a great hiking trail along the river. The Riverwalk center where many concerts and events like the annaul ice sculpture contest are held is a quick walk down the hill from our condo. The buses run frequently which is also a great convenience. Breckenridge has great restaurants and lots of activities year round.
The Unique Benefits at this Condo:
Our condo has a great, roomy floor plan and is tastefully decorated. We like being an end unit which allows us to have decks for both master bedrooms. The heated covered parking is unique to our building. Of course, having a chairlift right outside the building is a wonderful convenience, making getting up to the slopes much quicker. You can buy lift tickets and rent ski gear right next door at The Blue Sky Lodge and then jump on the lift. In our building you will enjoy the workout room, wet/dry saunas and the indoor/outdoor hot tubs.

Two Who Served Together
Will and his cousin had just heard a rousing speech which encouraged all young men to join the Union Army. These two eighteen-year-olds watched as the other young men, in an apparently emotional response, were enlisting. Didn't they realize that enlisting would be a life-changing decision for them and their families? The cousins needed time to think it over.
Daily the cousins were reminded of the speech and of the fact they had not enlisted. They saw the new recruits drilling six days a week, sometimes on the church green, sometimes in the schoolyard. Will's cousin later remarked: "I decided to wait and study the situation a little more carefully first." After they both enlisted, Will said their decision was made "in cold blood and not through the enthusiasm of the moment."
The cousins followed the new recruits when they left for Camp Jackson. All, including the two cousins, were mustered into service on June 11, 1861. On July 4 one of the officers read the Declaration of Independence to the regiment.
Will survived the war. He might seem more interesting when you learn his full name: Will Osborne, or more properly, William McKinley Osborne. He was the nephew of William McKinley, Sr. His cousin, the fellow who wanted to "study the situation a little more carefully first," was William McKinley, Jr., and he became the 25th President of the United States.
By the way, the officer who read the Declaration of Independence to the regiment was Rutherford B. Hayes, and he became the 19th President. The regiment was the 23rd Ohio Volunteer Infantry, the only regiment to produce two Presidents of the United States.

Thinknear Wins Two MediaPost Appy Awards
Thinknear was nominated in two categories for the 2019 MediaPost Appy Awards – Best Use of Geo-Location and Best Use of Rich Media – and was the proud recipient in both categories.
The winners are selected by a panel of judges spanning across agencies and ad tech professionals.
WINNER: Best Use of Geo-Location
Using Geo-Location to Build Awareness and Boost Late-Night Ridership
To keep a thriving city like Boston running, thousands of Bostonians work the 'third-shift'. Some say these are the 'forgotten workers' because by the time they clock out to head home, most services are shut down. But the Massachusetts Bay Transport Authority (MBTA) did not forget these late-night warriors that keep the city going. Instead, the MBTA sought to better serve this important sector. The MBTA expanded bus service between 10:00pm and 3:00am, providing more frequent service and a safer commuting option to these hardworking Bostonians. To support this initiative, they needed to get the word out and boost ridership. The MBTA, Alipes and Thinknear partnered on a laser focused campaign that leveraged in-app geo-location strategies to reduce waste by engaging the target audience, build awareness of this important service and ultimately boost late-night ridership.

WINNER: Best Mobile Rich Media
Innovating with AR Ads to Drive Engagement, Interest and Dealer Visits
Acura RDX
American's love for SUVs shows no sign of slowing, but the market is growing more crowded and less innovative. With the RDX re-launch, Acura sought to defy every SUV stereotype and focus on the most luxurious and high-performance aspects so drivers need not compromise. The RDX sought to break down barriers and break through the clutter with innovative sleek design and an array of interior features like no other. The goal was to get the consumer to 'sit' inside the car, anywhere they might be from the convenience of their mobile devices, on their commute to work or comfort of their couch, so they had a chance to fall in-love at 'first peek', and be compelled to get to their nearest dealer for a test drive.

Peterborough AC celebrated a one, two and three at the 25th anniversary edition of the St Ives 10K on Sunday (16 July). The Cambridgeshire (not Cornwall) event was a sell-out and worthy of a champagne celebration.
Ben Heron won the 25th St Ives 10K in 34:01, closely followed by teammate Phil Martin in 34:18. Another teammate, John Pike, took third place in 34:37 making it a clean sweep for Peterborough AC.
Georgina Schwiening of Cambridge & Coleridge AC won the women's race in 35:51 and finished in the overall top 10. Clare Thurgood of Orion Harriers was second in 39:22, nearly three and a half minutes behind the winner. Jess Williams was third in 40:25.
Kay Riley of Thorney RC was the midpoint runner in 53:43 with the last runner crossing the line in 1:28:36.
Race organisers Huntingdonshire AC decided to mark 25 years of their event by awarding spot prizes in the 10K. Adele O'Connor was the delighted recipient of a bottle of bubbly for her hard work.

Hyderabad: The TPCC president N. Uttam Kumar Reddy has slammed the caretaker Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao (KCR) saying that, "copying the Congress party manifesto will not help KCR to pass the test of elections". Soon after Mr Chandrasekhar Rao announced the election manifesto of the Telangana Rashtra Samiti, Uttam Kumar Reddy alleged that "Mr Chandrasekhar Rao has finally copied the promises of Congress and listed the manifesto of TRS. This shows the victory of Congress party in the forthcoming elections."Speaking to media persons at Gandhi Bhavan on Tuesday evening, Mr Uttam said, "The Chief Minister has made new promises to cheat the people of Telangana and forgot to talk about the earlier promises that he made during the 2014 polls. He said that he would enhance the pension amount, would give an allowance to unemployed youth, loan waiver for the farmers on a single time basis etc. But, we don't understand why he didn't do all these things as a Chief Minister and is now promising them. Is he thinking that people will believe him? When we questioned about the farmer loan waivers, Mr Chandrasekhar Rao said that the government would be bearing the loan interest but did not follow through later."
He added, "When we made these promises, caretaker Minister K.T. Rama Rao criticized us saying that to fulfill the promises, the state would need the budget of entire South India. What will Mr KTR say now, people have now come to know that his intention was to criticize the Congress and mislead the public."
He went onto say, "Funny, that Mr Rao came to know that there are about 12 Lakh unemployed youth in the state. Why didn't he notice the unemployed youth when he was the Chief Minister? We are happy that he realized at least that our promises are most worthy, but, the public is not ready to believe him. The caretaker Chief Minister has tried to warn us in his press conference and he should know that no one is afraid of him. The Congress government will see where Mr Chandrasekhar Rao will hide the money that he earned through corruption."
He said, "Mr Rao has cheated Muslims and STs in the name of reservations, poor in the name of double bedroom houses, and unemployed in the name of jobs, Dalits in the name of Dalit Chief Minister and farmers in the name of loan waiver. He should apologize to all the sections of Telangana. In all these years, Mr Chandrasekhar Rao has not even spoken to the families of farmers where more than 4500 farmers have committed suicide. I urge the people of Telangana not to believe Mr Rao."

Youth (La giovinezza)
This screening took place on
One of the pure cinematic joys of the year comes again from Italy's Paolo Sorrentino (The Great Beauty). His latest ravishing picture is about two longtime friends vacationing in the Swiss Alps. Well, sort of. As with The Great Beauty, the plot is secondary to the films' moments of sheer wonder and raw power.
Oscar winning actor Michael Caine plays Fred, an acclaimed composer and conductor, who brings along his daughter (Rachel Weisz) and best friend Mick (Harvey Keitel), a renowned filmmaker. While Mick scrambles to finish the screenplay for what he imagines will be his last important film, Fred has no intention of resuming his musical career. The two men reflect on their past, each finding that some of the most important experiences can come later in life.
Also featuring Paul Dano and the ridiculously great scene stealer, Jane Fonda.
Parental guidance advised for nudity and mature content.
"The Napoletano auteur Paolo Sorrentino follows up his Oscar-winning The Great Beauty with another great beauty, one that earned both boos and bravos from the media at Cannes. The film is voluptuous, operatic and wryly comic, with the maestro Sorrentino conducting a strong cast through a meditation on life's endgame and forgotten youth."

This post is taken from Nurturing the Older Brain and Mind by Greenwald and Parasurman. They write in the summary of their chapter on physical exercise, "Of the various experiential and lifestyle factors in cognitive aging, which they have reviewed in their book, physical exercise is probably the one whose effects are best understood. They reviewed literature on non-human in addition to human subjects. They write, "There is strong evidence that aerobic exercise can reduce and in some cases eliminate cognitive deficits associated with healthy aging." Exercise benefits neurogenesis and synaptic plasticity. Neurotrophins also are produced as a result of exercise and mediate the beneficial effects of exercise. They also note that there is a growing understanding of the neural mechanisms that underlie such benefits. They note that the mechanisms appear to be centered on the dentate gyrus. The dentate gyrus is important for the formation of new memories.
Although knowing the neural mechanisms of the benefits of exercise is good, many readers would like to know how much exercise is "enough." Unfortunately, there is little information on this topic. All I can cite is a previous healthy memory blog post, "To Improve Your Memory, Build Your Hippocampus." In that study people benefited from walking briskly for 45 minutes three days a week for six months. So there is evidence that that amount is sufficient. So if you enjoy exercising, please do more, if you do not, try to do something of the order of 45 minutes a day for three days a week. I have a hunch that any physical exercise one does is beneficial, but data regarding the minimum amount that is beneficial is woefully lacking. It is good to do something you enjoy. The feeling both doing and after a workout can be quite enjoyable. Frankly, I find exercising easier than dieting and nutrition, to which we shall turn next.

Online Calculators since 2009
If your business spends more than it receives during an accounting period it is classed as making a trading loss. You can off set trading losses against profit or capital gains in various ways as detailed below
If you make a trading loss within any of the first 4 tax years of trading, you can carry it back and set it against your income from any source (but not capital gains) in the previous 3 tax years. You can't pick and choose which years to set the loss against. You must start with the earliest year.
For example, you start a business in January 2011 (in the 11/12 tax year). If you make a loss in the 14/15-tax year, you can set this loss off against your income in the tax years in the following order:
You must claim this relief within one year of the 31 January following the tax year of the loss. For a loss in 15/16, you must claim by 31 January 2018.
HM Revenue & Customs also calls this relief 'Trade Loss Relief against general income'. You can carry the loss across and set it against your other income and capital gains in the year of the loss. This would reduce the income tax you would otherwise have to pay on other income and/or the capital gains tax you'd otherwise have to pay on the capital gains.
This can be done in reverse so you can also carry the loss backwards. This means the loss can be deducted from your total income and capital gains of the preceding tax year. This could give you a tax refund for the previous tax year. You need to set the loss against total income first and then set any excess loss against capital gains.
This relief must be claimed within one year of the 31 January following the tax year of the loss. For a loss in 15/16, you must claim by 31 January 2018.
If you suffer a trading loss, you can carry the loss forward. This means deducting the loss from profits that the business produces in future accounting periods.
This carry-forward relief is not the most popular choice, as you have to wait for future profits of the business before you can benefit from loss relief. This relief can be much more restrictive in that it only provides for the loss to be set against profits that the business produces. Capital gains and other sources of income cannot be claimed against.
You must claim this relief by declaring your intention to use this loss relief within 4 years of the end of the tax year of the loss.
You can also carry a loss back if you suffer a trading loss in the final 12 months in which you do business. In this instance the loss will be deducted from your trading profit in the 3 tax years before the last year you were trading, taking the later years before the earlier years. You may then reclaim tax from the Inland Revenue that you've already paid. Remember, the loss cannot be set against income from other sources or capital gains only your trade.
You must claim this relief within 4 years of the end of the tax year of the loss.
Below the table provides a summary of the trading loss relief that a sole trader is entitled to claim.
Type of relief
Time when loss occurred
Income/profits against which loss will be set
Relevant tax year
Early Trade Losses relief
Within first 4 tax years of trading
Any income
3 tax years preceding loss, starting with earliest
Carry-across/back relief
Any accounting year of trading
Any income and chargeable gains
The tax year of the loss and the previous tax year
Carry-forward relief
Any accounting year of trading
Subsequent profits of the same trade
Any subsequent years until loss is absorbed
Terminal Carry-back relief
Final 12 months of trading
Profits of the same trade
The 3 tax years before the business ceased trading, starting with the latest
Sole traders and companies may incur trading losses so a good understanding of how relief can be obtained for these is important to maximise both the tax and commercial benefits. It is also important to be aware of the differences in the reliefs for a company compared with a sole trader

Origami 2.0
25 February 2015
Facebook released Origami 2.0 yesterday… and wow, that's a huge update.
I've already spoken about Origami one year ago. I didn't have the chance to use this software that much since, but I'm still keeping an eye on it. And I'm really impressed by the 2.0 version.
Today, we're excited to release Origami Live for iOS along with a major new version of Origami for Mac. Origami Live is a new app that lets you use your Origami prototypes on your iPhone or iPad. Alongside it, we're releasing Origami 2.0, which has a ton of new features, including code exporting, powerful gesture support, Sketch integration, presentation mode, and more.
I've watched the new video tutorials on the site and tested Origami Live (a companion app that displays your prototype right on your phone). It worked flawlessly and the results were impressive. The app is smooth and perfectly synchronized with the desktop viewer.
I didn't try the Sketch integration, but if it works as advertised, that's a big win for my workflow.
They have also added a ton of new shortcuts to speed-up the app. Like if you press
t between two nodes (when hovering on the output or input of a node), Origami will automatically insert a
transition node between them:
There's a lot more that you can learn by watching the videos or reading the full list of shortcuts. The documentation is much more complete than when I tried Origami last year. At the time, it was really difficult to get into it. It looks way easier now.1
You can download Origami here (it requires Quartz Composer).
If you are interested in Quartz Composer & Origami, there's also a plugin named "Avocado" that enhances Origami. It has been updated for the 2.0 release, but I didn't use it with the latest version.
I might be wrong, but I also have the impression that they removed the need for the patch inspector. It looks like you can do everything directly on the canvas now. But this may be the case since the previous versions.↩

The mini-loans for pensioners , are fast credits to get easy and expedited money, since they have the facility to be requested by Internet and to have the money the same day.
You just have to access the web portal with which you will request the money, specify how much money you want and return it within a maximum period of 30 days.
Requirements to request mini-credits for pensioners
Whenever we are going to carry out some type of procedure, be it banking or another item, there are a series of requirements that we must comply with; and likewise it works when we want to access mini-credits for pensioners .
Some of the general requirements demanded by the great majority of lenders of these credits are:
- Reside in Spain.
- Have a contact e-mail.
- Have a contact telephone.
- Have an active account number in your name.
- Have an impeccable credit history.
- Have a source of regular demonstrable income, and that is sufficient to take over the loan payment.
If you meet all these requirements, you should not have any kind of inconvenience so that your loan of mini – credits for pensioners is approved successively and immediately.
Documents you need to request mini-credits for pensioners
All the documents required to request mini-credits for pensioners are those necessary to verify your identity and income.
In this way, the lender avoids frauds, ensures a transparent and reliable 100% credit process.
The documents you should make sure you have at your fingertips are:
- Copy of your identity document (DNI or NIE) on both sides and in color.
- Your account number.
- Send us the first page of the primer
- A receipt in which your name and your online account number appear.
- A proof of regular income. In this case, being a pensioner, you should send us the annual pension revaluation document.
How does your age influence to apply for mini-credits for pensioners?
Banks and private equity lenders study various factors related to their profile as well as their repayment capacity to decide whether or not to grant a mini-loan for pensioners .
One of the checks includes the age of the client to ensure that he is too young or older to assume the risk of financing
- Early retirees: they can take out payment or life protection insurance attached to the loan contract. In this way, the lender will have the assurance that the borrowed money will be reimbursed. Life insurance will cover the insured until age 65, usually; those for payment protection, up to 70.
- Retirees under 75 years old: may request loans for pensioners by taking out insurance in addition to the loan contract. In addition, many companies require that our age when the loan repayment is completed is less than 75 years, although this varies between entities and depending on the product we request.
- Retirees over 75 years old: they will have to provide a guarantee, which will act as a payer in case of default for any reason.

Caliroots provides a closer look at the upcoming Sneaker Freaker x New Balance 998 "Tassie Devil," releasing this month at select retailers. A shoe that made our New Balance Best of 2012 list without actually releasing in stores, the highly anticipated "Tassie Devil" will finally see the light of day after a series of delays.
The creative purple, black and white colorway features both speckles and teeth on the midsole, and if that wasn't enough, a portion of the proceeds from the shoe will be donated to a campaign to save the endangered Tasmanian devil.
The Sneaker Freaker x New Balance CM998SNF "Tassie Devil" drops in Australia on Saturday, March 16, followed by limited global release on March 30.

The All-New List! 50 Best Restaurants
Here we go again.
Philly's restaurant scene just will not sit still and behave. It is an ever-changing, ever-evolving, messy, strange, beautiful thing — a group of cooks and chefs and bars and restaurants that refuse to be defined or contained. In the past six months we have seen the rise of a handful of truly excellent restaurants that could confidently stand among the best in the city (and, in a couple of cases, the country). We've lost a few greats, but have seen even more kitchens come together to shape our city's appetites.
Right at this moment, Philadelphia is undeniably one of the best restaurant cities in the nation. We have restaurants (and restaurateurs) who make national news. Our kitchens and the things that happen in them move the larger conversation about food and fad and appetite. More importantly, we're in the midst of a moment where Philly's chefs are crafting, night after night, a new kind of American cuisine and style of eating that is global and local, both finer and more casual at the same time.
What we're saying is, it's a great time to dine in Philly. And here are the 50 Best Restaurants in Philadelphia—the ones you need to be eating at (and paying attention to) right now.

New Report Reveals Many Mississippians are in Financial Limbo
August 3rd, 2017
Mississippi households, and more broadly, Mid South households, continue to struggle in low-wage jobs that do not allow them to save for a more prosperous future. The 2017 Prosperity Now Scorecard (formerly the Assets & Opportunity Scorecard) reveals that the lack of quality job opportunities in the state makes it harder for families to meet basic expenses—and nearly impossible to save enough to move up the economic ladder. More than half (53.4%) of Mississippi households do not have enough savings to weather the storm of a significant financial hardship, like a job loss, for more than three months. The new data, released in the Prosperity Now Scorecard, underscore the need for investments in high-poverty areas that create quality jobs as well as quality financial services that help support better opportunity for households who live in underserved communities.
The Scorecard findings illustrate that Mississippi households are among the most financially vulnerable. Almost half (49.4%) of Mississippi households did not set aside any savings for emergencies in the past year – the sixth highest rate in the nation and higher than the national rate of 43.7 percent (See Chart). Oftentimes, these households lack the flexibility to invest in wealth-building tools, such as a home or post-secondary education, because they are not connected to affordable, quality financial services.
Click to enlarge
Mississippi households of color face even greater obstacles. They are more than twice as likely to live below the poverty line as white households (33.2% compared to 13.0%) and much less likely to own a home or other assets that boost long-term financial stability. More than half of households of color (53.2%) in the state own homes, compared to 76.5 percent of white, non-Hispanic households.
There is much work to be done to help lift Mississippians and other Mid South residents out of poverty, particularly in high-poverty areas. Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFIs) and Community Development Credit Unions (CDCUs), like Hope, continually work to meet the needs of historically underserved populations. It is imperative to expand support and invest in CDFIs and CDCUs to create ladders of opportunities in these communities.
Hope Policy Institute will continue to share data from the 2017 Prosperity Now Scorecard and highlight policy options for building assets among low-wealth households.

Sprinting-Walking Intervals
I alternate days between working my ab circuit and high-intensity sprinting. Sprinting is a high-intensity short-duration movement at the highest speed you can safely muster. Typically, we think sprinting is running, but also it includes swimming and biking. Watch how to sprint in the video below.
Be certain that you have medical clearance before attempting any strenuous workout.
My Sprint Routine
Three nights a week I go to the park and I do sprints in my MBT sneakers, with my dog Blue, on the circular sidewalk that surrounds the park. The MBT sneakers have a rocker-shaped outer soul and, according to the manufacturer, this approximates walking barefoot on sand.
I don't have foot or back pain when I wear my MBTs. I discuss MBT sneakers a little more in-depth in my article on Resistance Band Training for Beginners.
Are you familiar with Pavlov's Conditioned Response? As soon as I pull out my MBTs, Blue begins his happy dance in anticipation of our run. It's a fun workout for us both
I warm-up before my sprint by walking to the park, then walking three laps around the park at a leisurely pace. Then I run one lap around the park as hard as I can, which compared to Blue's gate I am not very fast. But it is a start. By the end of my lap I am breathing very hard. Then I do it all again.
I will walk three more laps around the perimeter of the park followed by one all out sprint. Then I do it once more.
After my final sprint, I walk three more laps to cool down and catch my breath.
To finish my routine, and sometimes even during my routine if I need a break, I stretch out on a cement bench and do the stomach vacuuming isometric contractions.
I am left feeling energized after this routine, in a way that I cannot achieve with my ab circuit. I like that my mind is totally focused on just being in the moment when I run, very alive to the beautiful surroundings of the park, and the companionship of my dog.
I had similar feelings of aliveness this summer when I did aqua sprints (swimming) at the Jersey Shore. I loved the ocean waves crashing against my now firm body, and that I could swim like I did when I was a teen. I guess that a skill once learned is never forgotten.
Now that autumn is nearly upon us and the weather turns cooler, I will need to bring my sprints indoors. I've got my treadmill setup in a large naturally lit room with lots of windows. And it faces out to the scenic landscape that will invigorate me more than a crummy TV would (thinking of all the gym treadmills facing monitors playing CNN all day - so uninspired).
Speaking of invigoration, next we'll explore how to get yourself motivated to workout. Read "Finding Motivation to Exercise."
I will continue my sprinting and ab circuit:

But these chips are in new uncirculated condition, so they weren't used for anything. So these chips would work great for a low stakes game, or for a mixed set.
Note that these chips are Paulsons on the LCV mold, which are much less prone to flea bites compared to the RHC Paulson mold that most chips are produced on today. The chips have been oiled, to make the chip colors "pop". Pretty easy to remove excess oil.These chips are very rare. Don't miss the opportunity to own some very cool chips, on the best of the Paulson molds. The item "500 chip poker chip set, uncirculated Paulson LCV from The Silks" is in sale since Thursday, March 02, 2017. This item is in the category "Collectibles\Casino\Chips\Poker Chips". The seller is "bloodnfire" and is located in Seattle, Washington. This item can be shipped to United States.
