Today I'm showing you some of the Fancy Flourishes and some images from Way Up North. This first card is showing the Fancy Flourishes. There are some other sets at work on this card too, Oh, Christmas Tree and Holiday Script.
I stamped my white cardstock layer with one of the Fancy Flourishes. I used turquoise ink...I love that combo with olive and red...so festive! Next, used my EK success wide scallop border punch on some olive cardstock and then attached it to my red card base. I used some red grosgrain ribbon to covere the seam, and then added a turquoise button with an olive brad for the center.
I stamped my tree with turquoise ink as well, and then mouned it on turquoise and then red cardstock and added it to my card. My sentiment was stamped in turquoise ink, the punched out with my large oval punch, then layered on a turquoise scalloped oval punch and then an olive wide oval punch. I added my sentiment to the card with dimensionals.
This next card is featuring the Way Up North stamp set. I made a white card base, then layerd some red cardstock and a layer of dsp from the current SU hoiliday mini catalog. A strip of sticky strip to hold my 5/8" red grosgrain in place and a little bow with a button for some added detail. I added a layer of red dsp, mounted on white and then added 3 white punched snowflakes. I added some rhinestone brads for some glistening detail on my snow flakes.
I stampe the igloo image and then colored in the accents with makers. I mounted the igloo onto olive cardstock and added it to my card. I stamped the sentiment and used my large oval and scallop ovals to make a perfect home for it!
With all this working on my Christmas card stack...I feel a dose of hot chocolate coming on! Hope you're having a great day! Be sure to check out the other Design Team blogs to see more great samples for this release!! Thanks for stopping by!

Now that the operating lives of the Monticello and Prairie Island nuclear generating plants have been extended another 20 years, changes to the Custody and Escrow Agreement are necessary to allow a more robust investment structure in order to increase the earnings potential over the extended periods. The escrow funds are supplemental to the dedicated decommissioning funds and are available to be returned to ratepayers if warranted. Changes are necessary to achieve the returns assumed in the concurrently filed 2012 Triennial Nuclear Decommissioning filing.

Zerona® Laser (Non-Invasive Fat Removal) is a body slimming treatment designed to remove fat and reduce inches with zero pain, zero surgery and zero downtime. Zerona® allows the patient to continue daily activity without interruption.
Zerona® is an FDA approved and clinically proven body contouring technology. This treatment emulsifies the adipose tissue, which is then released into the interstitial space. The excess fat is passed through the body during its normal course of detoxification.
How does Zerona® body contouring work?
Zerona® low level laser stimulates the fat cell to liquefy the fat within the cell. Then the liquefied fat moves from inside the cell through a temporary pore formed in the cell membrane to outside the cell where it is in the interstitial space until absorbed by the lymphatic system. This results in millions of fat cells becoming smaller so inches are reduced off the waist, hips and thighs and other areas. The fat cells are not injured in any way by this process.
What can I expect at my Zerona® body contouring appointments?
40 minutes to relax, read or do nothing
No pain, no heat, or any sensation while being treated
20 minutes treatment for the front of your body
20 minutes treatment for the backside of your body
No downtime, nor pain, swelling or any discomfort after the treatment
What areas of the body can I use Zerona® on?
Zerona® can be used on essentially every part of the body where localized fat deposits exist that are resistant to diet and exercise, including:
How many treatments will I need?
Each patient is unique. Generally, patients need between 9 and 24 treatments. Those who cannot lose excess fat with diet and exercise generally need 9 treatments. Those who have a higher body fat percentage will benefit greatly from additional treatments.
Is it safe? Are there any side effects?
There is no risk involved in using the Zerona® low level laser. The body contouring treatment process is completely non-invasive and there are absolutely no side effects beyond loss of inches and fat.

Bit of Salvagable wreckage
A bit of time-traveling was necessary to post this blog, as it just didn't fit with the rest of the blogs of 6/6/2011, so I have snook it amongst the blogs around 6/6/2010. I have sent this blog back one year, for the sake of the continuity of the blog and also because I am ashamed to still be the wreck that I am from time to time; there seems to be an expectation to grow out of the kind of unhappiness which gets in the way of the everyday life on a 21st century adult, leave it in youth (with our music records which apparently we can only relate to in our 'teen angst days') as we begin our professional lives . Well, for whatever reason I have yet to achieve this (what a bad fucking pupil I've been). So, lets pretend that this is 2010 and not 2011.
My life doesn't seem to be under my control. I am being guided to the places I don't want to be and made to be a person I don't want be. But every solution becomes a tool to aide my problems. Those who say they can heal me merely go by procedures to condition me into fitting right back into the type of world that has made me ill, by simply trying to make me forget truths.
I cannot picture a future, not for me not for our world: "what do you want to do for a career?" "fuck off, get out of my fucking face, OK!". All I have is these petty drawings which explain the way I feel. But my truth has to compete with the truth of a thousands commercial advertisements which bombard my works' viewers and bombard them thereafter. It fails. I fail. Have already (so it seems), but the treadmill hasn't stopped yet, that's all. When It does, I do not know what will happen. I am immune to love, others may offer me. I am immune to enjoying what is still nice in the world. All I've had is this regime, which I convince myself is a fruitful fight against the system.
People must get annoyed when I send out mobile phone texts to them to remind them/ask them/try to amuse them, with a rapidity of machine gun fire, but I have to keep a force/a barrier which gives me the feeling of bolstering my existence against failure/dejection/ and a bleak emptiness. It's a war against a falling apart of everything which life seems to be taking me towards anyhow.
Only when medication wears off do you realise that without it you cannot cope. People say "you don't need it" but whilst the world veers (environmentally, thus [then] every way else) out of control, something has to be sending lies to my brain in order for me to carry on. Am I perpetuating the root-cause of mental illness, by carrying on this way? Of course I bloody am, but what else can I do when my immediate body is in turmoil and it begs for some road sweep to to clear this mental mess up?
I reject this system (whole-hearted) but it drags me through life, and (no matter what all the false-gap year-'academiatic' – positivists say) most of the time I do NOT control over my destiny, and I need the pills like the starving need food (a comparison which [crude as it may be] more or less diagnoses both sides of the coin of humanity under late capitalism).

About Genius Gyms
Neuroscience and Exercise
Genius Gyms is a ground-breaking new way to improve brain & body health that uses well-validated neurocognitive games to create a data-driven, engaging exercise and cognitive training experience.
A new way to Exercise
No more boring machines, endless repetitive exercises, or mindless cardio workouts. Genius Gym's workouts are engaging, challenging, and most of all FUN. You will forget you are working out!
Brain Health
Improves overall fitness and with specific emphasis on brain health: memory, attention, balance, attention, motor skills, emotional function etc. and can help reduce/delay the onset of brain decay/diseases (Dementia, Parkinson's, Alzheimer's*).
Backed by Science
Genius Gyms was developed by an expert exercise UCLA researcher Dr. Sarah McEwen, a Cognitive Psychologist and an NSCA-Certified Personal Trainer. Dr. McEwen's training program has been featured on the Tennis Channel's "Fit to Hit" and Red Bull TV.

Research has shown that having individuals undergo both a physical exercise and a cognitive training program increase mental abilities significantly more than those doing physical exercise or cognitive training alone (Fabre et al., 1999; Barnes et al., 2013). Thus proving that the combined effects of cognitive and physical fitness training are additive, and it's better for your brain to do both, not just one. Genius Gyms takes this research one step further to prove that simultaneously doing cognitive training while exercising gives your brain and body the maximum challenge needed to improve your brain's performance-while also saving you the time of doing these activities seperately.
Dr. McEwen conducted a neuroimaging study to examine the effects of a combined exercise and cognitive training program in severely cognitively impaired patients in the UCLA Department of Psychiatry and Biobehavioral Sciences. She found that after only 6 months of the combined exercise and cognitive training program brain activity increased in the brain regions responsible for executive functioning and for encoding new memories and NO INCREASED activity in a group of patients who did not complete the combined training program.
Another Research Paper
Physical exercise has been shown to increase the rate of growth of new neurons in the brain. Mental exercise helps the survival of those new neurons in the brain. Both physical and mental exercises are the leading treatments of cognitive declince associated with aging.
Physical exercise changes the brain chemistry of your brain to improve learning and memory abilities, while mental exercises challenge those cognitive systems to increase efficiency.
Genius Gyms is both a fun and scientifically-based new way to exercise that allows you to perform both mental and physical exercises simultaneously to increase neuroplasticity in your brain and lead to maximal brain and body performance. Both are necessary to combat neurodegeneration associated with aging. And we have combined them to save you time and optimize the benefits for you.
Case Study – Patient X
After 11 sessions (4 months of 1 session per week) Patient X had improvements on standardized scores of:
Emotional Positive Affect
Patient X saw dramatic increases in Alertness, Attention and self accomplishment. This benefits the argument where exercise can aid mental well being and in some cases provide an alternative to medication.
Cognitive Performance
Overall Patient X saw consistent gains across the board especially across Verbal memory, reaction time and speed. Greater gains have been experienced when the user participates in 3 sessions per week. Patient X participated just once a week, below the recommended exposure.
Patient X saw a remarkable gain in simple attention with an above average gain. The prefrontal cortex known as the inferior frontal junction (IFJ) controls visual processing areas that are fine tuned for object-based attention, and spatial attention.
Heart Rate Zone
The above illustrates that Patient X's HR is in the ideal zone for neurotrophic gain relating to the growth of neurons in the brain.

Lets get into the results then of the question I spammed out a while ago:
Very few said competition standard, and slightly more don't bother to paint at all.
Here is the thing. You don't have to paint at all. It is a choice, but most of us do, and some will not seek opponents who never make an effort to at least try. But we are always learning and it is better to try than not to bother. Painting isn't easy, but it is a skill that can be learned. Great painters are artists, but you do not need an artistic bone in your body to learn the craft of figure painting.
And aesthetically, even a badly painted force, is more of a courtesy to your opponent and looks better on the table than an unpainted force.
And your standard of painting, whatever it is, is fine. You are good enough, and no one can criticise you for your efforts. Improve for yourself if you wish to, but don't feel you must.
Even the best are still learning, and we all think its a chore sometimes.
But the results are worth it.

In 2006 I asked my first question on a physics forum. I couldn't understand the difference between a sound wave and a light wave as it pertained to relative velocity. Of course I got nothing but nasty, snarky, condescending, general and irrelevant answers from Wiki-like sources to my question which set the tone of my attitude towards physics forums to this day. I understood a source could not force a sound or light wave any faster through it's medium, the wave's velocity was always the same relative to its medium. Any velocity of the source or a receiver would manifest itself in the altered frequency of the wave. Years later I learned this was not completely true for sound waves. Although a car approaching you with it's horn blaring couldn't force the sound to reach you any sooner, you could run towards the sound or a strong wind behind the car could make the sound cover the initial distance between you and the start of the sound wave in less time than if you didn't move or if the wind wasn't blowing. Same distance in less time meant the wave's velocity relative to you increased.
The same was true for the source's relative velocity to the sound wave. Although it couldn't push the sound wave's velocity relative it its medium any faster, the source's relative velocity to the medium would allow it to catch up with the wavefronts or a strong wind behind the car could reduce the car's relative velocity to the wavefronts. The source's velocity relative to the wave altered because its velocity relative to the medium altered while the wave's relative velocity to its medium did not. The key understanding here is there are 2 relative velocities to consider: the relative velocity of the wave to its medium and the relative velocity of the source or receiver to the wave's medium.
The permittivity and permeability characteristics of space make it an electromagnetic medium that allows for the propagation of electromagnetic waves. Sound is a mechanical wave in a material medium. Space, ideally, is a vacuum devoid of material for sound to propagate through but that doesn't mean it is not a medium for light to propagate through. Water has material but light uses the electromagnetic field of water to propagate through it at 75% the speed of light. We will be considering water and vacuum mediums for light to understand the relative velocities of sources and receivers to those mediums to address the main difference between sound and light waves wrt relative velocity.
The main question is this: If you can run towards a sound wave and increase its velocity relative to you, why does relativity say you can't run towards a light wave and increase its velocity relative to you? Just like for the sound wave, your motion towards the wave cuts down the initial distance between you and the wave which allows the wave to reach you in less time just as though you were standing still and the wave's relative velocity had increased to reach you in less time. This addition of velocities definition of relative velocity just ignores the fact not only the time has changed but so has the distance. If instead of choosing the initial distance over final time as the definition of relative velocity you chose final distance over final time, you'd get a completely different answer.
It's the same for light, your velocity towards the light allows the light to reach you sooner so the relative velocity should increase if you use the formula of initial distance over final time. But relativity has changed the rules, there is no relative velocity greater than c so your relative velocity to c can't add or subtract from c. This is enshrined in the relative velocity combination law. But at the same time this does not mean the light doesn't take longer to reach you if you're moving away from it or less time if you're moving towards it.
So how do you resolve this paradox? Well you come up with the idea that the distance between you and the light is contracted by your velocity just as your time is dilated so that the velocity of light remains the same in the spacetime warp your velocity is creating. And from there the history of science fiction begins to the delight of movie goers everywhere.
In the only course I took on relativity, Brian Greene's on worldscienceu.com, the photon is treated like a baseball instead of a wave. While a wave's velocity can't be affected by the velocity of the source that launched it, a baseball's velocity can be. So using perfect logic, a photon baseball's velocity can't be increased or decreased by a train's motion unlike it would be in a Newtonian universe. Of course this is total nonsense because light doesn't behave like a baseball but it's crucial to selling relativity. Let's look at the train example to see what I mean.
A train is whizzing into a station and as the middle of the platform aligns with the middle of the station, a light beam is sent from the middle to both ends of the train. From inside the train, the light hits both ends simultaneously but from outside the train, the back is moving toward the light so the light reaches it sooner. The front of the train is moving away from the light so the light has to cover more distance in more time to reach the front. I don't see where the train's motion creates a spacetime warp to conserve c from all perspectives when c is simply the distance covered in the time it takes to cover it. No magic here but I'll show you where the magic really is. It's not in the train's relative velocity to light directly, it's in the train's relative velocity to the medium of light.
Let's consider the train example using sound waves. As the middle of the train aligns with the middle of the platform, an air horn goes off inside the train but a firecracker goes off outside the train's middle. Since the air is motionless within the train, the air horn will hit both ends simultaneously from the train's perspective but the sound of the firecracker will hit the back end first because the back end is moving towards it while the firecracker noise will take more time to reach the front because it has to travel a greater distance in more time to reach the front. However if the same experiment had been done using an open boxcar, there would be no difference between when the airhorn or the firecracker noises reach the ends of the train because it's about the train's relative velocity to the medium, not to the sound directly.
So how is light different? If the train was a giant vacuum bottle travelling through a vacuum, there would be no difference whether the train was a vacuum bottle or open to the outside vacuum. There's no medium to move relative to. There's no vacuum wind. This is what the MMX proved. If the train let off a red light inside the train and a blue light outside the train, the outside perspective would see both the blue and red lights hit the back simultaneously before they both hit the front simultaneously later. From inside the train's perspective, both red and blue lights would hit the front and back of the train simultaneously. This could never happen in the airhorn and firecracker example because of the relative velocity of the train to the sound medium.
Let's do the intermediate example of a water filled train going through water. (This is actually the Fizeau experiment.) Light is no longer going at c through this medium but 75% c. The train's velocity will actually be a factor this time between an open box car and a sealed train version because it can have a relative velocity to the medium. However, the addition of the velocities is not straight Newtonian additive but the combined relative velocity is according to the relativistic combo law. So there's nothing magical about the nature of light at all, the magic happens when things bump up against the universe's max speed limit.

(B.M. Music Composition, '13)
I have been singing in choirs since freshman year of high school, and, since then, I have always wanted to be involved in music. When I was a junior, we performed Ralph Vaughan Williams' "Dirge for Two Veterans," a piece that told an incredibly powerful story. Since then, I knew I wanted to compose, so that I could tell stories through music.
I sing soprano.
Currently, I am a member of Bel Canto Chorus, which is a Milwaukee-area choir.
I think while I learn quite a bit from the works of various composers throughout history, I have also learned so much from my teachers at Stritch, especially those in the music department. Dr. Dan Maske, who was my composition teacher for my entire Stritch career, taught me about the many facets of the composing process—how to write interesting pieces, how to look for new ways to improve a piece, and even career options for someone with a background in composing. He was my piano and trumpet teacher too!
I have several favorite composers. I find the works of Palestrina and Debussy the most inspiring from a compositional standpoint. Handel, Mozart, Verdi, Morten Lauridsen, Thomas Morley, and Thomas Tallis are other favorites.
I can never choose a favorite song. There is so much that I like about each song I like listening to; they each have their own qualities. If I made a top five right now, though, there would probably be a Beatles song or two. "I Call Your Name" is one of my favorite Beatles songs, so let's go with that.
One of the things about my composing process is that I accept that creative energy can't be forced. Sometimes it comes in long bursts, sometimes in brief moments, and sometimes it feels like a lot of time goes by without any real inspiration. For me, that's okay. Many of my pieces do have a specific backstory. Several of them have come to me in times of incredible stress or sadness, and writing helped me express those feelings and heal.
Really, I feel like my first season with Bel Canto has been a major accomplishment for me. I am singing with a much larger ensemble than I ever have, and the material that we perform also can be quite challenging. I am constantly learning. I feel like I have grown so much as a performer with Bel Canto, and I am really looking forward to starting a new season with them in the fall!
I used to sing in the children's choir at my parish. That was where I learned how to play the handbell!
On the performing side, one of my all-time favorite performances was the Stritch choral concert in Spring 2012. We sang Mozart's "Coronation Mass" at the Cathedral, and every part of the process for that concert was so much fun. On the composing side, my favorite concert was the New Music Concert my senior year, which was combined with my senior recital. That concert was my final concert at Stritch, and it was incredibly special for me.
I work as a product specialist at Brass Bell Music Store.
I do hope to go to graduate school at some point. There is a lot about composing that I still have yet to learn. Ultimately I would love to work with a choir and compose exclusively for them. What I loved best about composing for the choir at Stritch was that each member of the choir was a fellow student, and so I would get to know them and learn more about their individual strengths and could write with them in mind. That is the way I feel I would work best.
I was in choir all four years at Stritch, and I feel like many of my happiest and most positive memories from college came from rehearsals and concerts with the choir. There are still times when my friends from choir will share favorite memories with each other and we still laugh. I always looked forward to going to rehearsal.
I volunteered at the state Wisconsin School Music Association (WSMA) Solo & Ensemble Festival held at Stritch in May.
Oct. 19, 7 p.m.: Bel Canto Chorus will be performing Rossini's "Petite Messe Solennelle" at Shully's Watermark in Thiensville, Wis. Tickets start at $50.
During my time at Stritch, I premiered 24 new works, I participated in four New Music Concerts (2010, 2011, 2012, 2013), and the New Music Concert my senior year was combined with my senior recital. I was a participant in the Open Box Project in 2011 and presented my junior recital in 2012. Also, for the 2013 spring choral concert, one of my choral works was performed as an encore piece.

Another Nail In The All-In-One Coffin
Part of our mantra here is that "all-in-ones" are a terrible idea. (read here, here, here and here)
One key reason for that, is in the race to build more and more features to be an "all in one" you cannot have the resources to continually upgrade and update existing areas of your product.
It's simple math: The more you do, the less you can focus on any one piece. In contrary to that corollary, by focusing on your core competencies, you can continually refine and perfect your product.
The 3rd Version of our Popular Screens Is Here!
In line with this concept, we're pleased to announce the release of the THIRD major version of our screens app. This version fixed some core UI/UX issues with our previous version, and introduced some massive improvements under the hood. These improvements not only increased the speed and responsiveness of the Screens – but they also set us up to easily scale to millions of displays.
And best of all – the general look, feel and interactions will remain the same, so there's almost zero learning curve when upgrading versions.
Built In Revenue Booster!
One hidden feature of this release is a simple tool to help you boost revenue in your gym. A simple diamond indicator has been placed next to leads and trialing members. This alerts your coaches on the floor instantly who is new to the gym, and allows for them to make sure their early experiences are excellent.
You can take this one step further and teach your members what the symbol means, and ask them the warmly greet the new member and introduce themselves.
This simple and subtle enhancement was meant to help you better convert leads to long standing clients, and boost your overall revenue.
Just another way we're building systems that allow our clients to win in their local markets.
Ready to Get Started?
Looking for Gym Member Retention Software?
Schedule a quick 10 minute call with a gym-owning PushPress customer satisfaction representative today. We will quickly find out your needs and objectives and let you know if we are a good fit for your business.
Screens Update Details
Core Architecture Update
We've rebuilt the whole system as a native app on top of a new data structure that's up to 3000% faster. Check-ins will now appears on the screens almost instantly, with less latency and network cost.
SugarWOD / Kilomodo Integration
Our focus is on professionalizing your gym, and we believe in trying to keep one branded, unified look and feel across all your touchpoints with your clients. Our screens have your colors and branding, and are consistent with our check-in app and our store app.
Integrating your workouts right to your PushPress screen from your external workout tracking system allows you to maintain your branding and unified experience without the double work of entering your workouts in both systems.
Trialing / Lead Notification
First impressions are hard to shake – so give your leads a little extra attention and love when they're in class. Any lead who's checked into class will be designated with a subtle diamond indicator next to their name. This allows your coaches to know who's new to the gym and make sure their experience is superb!
Member Headshots
Add a personal touch to your class attendance screen by uploading headshots. These headshots will appear uniformly on the check-in app as well as the screens to give your coaches a clear indication as to who's in the class.
Redesigned Class Screen
Our new Screens show the classes over a timeline, allowing for an easily visual representation of when classes are occurring. We cleaned up the member display, adding headshots and making the first names bigger and easier to read.
Workout Font Scaling
Now your coaches can use your Fire TV remote to scale the font sizes up and down on the workout screen. This flexibility allows for the clean display of any reasonable workout. Our new screens can now support workouts entered with a maximum of 26 lines of text!
Download Now
PushPress Screens 3.0 are available now on the Amazon Fire TV App Store. Login to your Fire TV and using the search functionality enter "PushPress Screens". Or click here and add to your account.
Why don't you support a simple computer and mouse?
Keyboards and mice are not designed to be on gym floors. Not only is it unsanitary in general, but it's ill-suited for quick and easy use. We believe in using the proper technology for the job, and a computer is meant to be used in an office, at a desk. Screens with remotes are perfect for gym floor applications.
Plus, a keyboard and mouse will cost at least 5x more than an Amazon Fire TV will.
Why don't you support Apple TV
Two reasons. First, it's overkill that you're paying for. Apple TV's are multimedia powerhouses. We need fractional computer power, so save the money and get an inexpensive Fire Stick. Secondly, the remotes on Apple TV's currently don't function as nicely for this application as a Fire TV remote does.
Why don't you support other platforms/devices?
Since every device and platform will have their own unique development requirements, we chose to simplify everything and use only the one best suited for the job. This allows us to focus on building one good experience, as opposed to trying to support multiple versions of the same application.
Can non-PushPress clients use these Screens?
No. This is an add on to enhance the experience for our clients. Not a client? Talk to us!
I'm a PushPress Client, how can I get support for screens?
Use the existing support system from inside your Control Panel.
Do you really think All-In-Ones are a terrible idea?
Absolutely, yes.

Bass Pro Shops announces manager for new Outdoor World location in Vancouver, British Columbia
Gerald Macintyre to lead team of 400-plus at outdoor location scheduled to open in Tsawwassen Mills
VANCOUVER, British Columbia — Bass Pro Shops today announced Gerald Macintyre has been named general manager for the new Bass Pro Shops Outdoor World scheduled to open later this year in the Tsawwassen Mills near Vancouver, British Columbia.
Macintyre, who has more than 20 years retail experience, will oversee all aspects of the 148,000-square-foot Bass Pro Shops Outdoor World. Located on the northwest corner of Highway 17 and 52nd Avenue, the new Bass Pro Shops is a key anchor for the Tsawwassen Mills – a 1.2-million-sqare-foot, value-oriented mall, being developed by Ivanhoé Cambridge.
"I am excited to lead the team bringing Bass Pro Shops to the Vancouver area. The region is home to incredible natural areas and passionate outdoor enthusiasts we look forward to welcoming when we open our doors," said Macintyre.
Prior to coming to Bass Pro Shops, Macintyre held management positions at other national retail brands.
He will lead a team of 400-plus associates and build on a culture that has earned the company national recognition. In 2015 Bass Pro Shops was named one of "America's Best Employers" by Forbes magazine for its excellence as an employee-focused company.
"Our team will share their extensive knowledge and love for the outdoors with our customers in an expansive environment with a wide range of products," said Macintyre.
Bass Pro Shops Outdoor World will reflect the province's local wildlife and the rich diversity of natural habitats. Features include hand-painted murals, museum-quality fish and wildlife mounts, a 13,000-gallon aquarium stocked with fish native to the area, and tributes to the area's geographical points of interest.
In addition, the Outdoor World location will offer an incredible array of fishing, hunting, camping, and boating equipment that's specific to the region as well as outdoor cooking gear, outdoor apparel and footwear, and nature-themed gifts.
Since the beginning, Bass Pro Shops founder Johnny Morris has been dedicated to inspiring people, especially youth and families, to love, enjoy and conserve the great outdoors. That commitment, demonstrated over the course of several decades, is a big reason why Bass Pro Shops is known as the outdoor industry's corporate conservation leader.
Macintyre, who is from Nova Scotia, is a former combat diver for the military and was posted in British Columbia in the 1990's. He is an avid angler and also enjoys hiking, back country backpacking and snowmobiling.

Change is inevitable within any type of business. It arises from the need to respond and adapt to varying conditions. Modifications may be required to the equipment, operational policies and organizational structure or personnel. Whenever a change is made, the potential consequences of that change should be assessed before implementation. History has illustrated the potential negative consequences associated with uncontrolled change.
A Management of Change (MOC) system is a combination of policies and procedures used to evaluate the potential impacts of a proposed change so that it does not result in unacceptable risks. Developing an effective MOC strategy requires establishing, documenting and successfully implementing formal policies to evaluate and manage both temporary and permanent modifications in the facility or ship including equipment, materials, operating procedures and conditions and personnel.
Successful organizations are dynamic and constantly undergoing change in striving for innovative and cost-effective solutions to achieve sustainability in a robust and competitive business environment. A disciplined management of change system will not only minimize significant impacts on safety and the environment but will incorporate strategies in managing the associated business risks on quality, continued commerce and security.

KAS – a mixture of aqueous solutions of carbamide and ammonium nitrate. KAS has a number of advantages over solid fertilizers. KAS contains three forms of nitrogen at a time: amide, nitrate and ammonium, which makes the fertilizer long-lasting and readily available to plants.
The price of urea-ammonium mixture advantageously differs among others in the market of fertilizers, since its preoduction process does not involve drying, granulating and sorting. Introduction of KAS in the soil can be carried out simultaneously with the introduction of pesticides and micronutrients, distribution of agents is more uniform, and nitrogen losses are minimized.
KAS is used for basic fertilization of soil before plowing and cultivation, introduction onto the surface before or after sowing, foliar and under-root fertilization. This fertilizer can be used on all types soil and in all climate zones, especially dry.

As Censor.NET reports citing Krym.Realii, according to deputy chief of staff of the civil initiative for Crimea's blockade Izet Hdanov, power suppliers have supported the protesters and switched off Melitopol-Dzhankoi power line.
"Product supplies are banned from the occupied peninsula. The electricity is also a product. According to the UN norms, occupants have to take care of the seized territory. We, for our part, will take efforts to deoccupy it," Hdanov stated.
According to him, a few days ago, some hundred participants of the blockade, including locals, gathered near a power pylon that had been previously damaged in the Kherson region. The power engineers could not proceed with repair works as there were people at the facility.
Hdanov said Oct. 11, a decision was taken to turn off and loop the line.
"It will be a dead-end line, no electricity will go to Crimea. Following the current legislation, we will bring to powers-that-be's knowledge that the supply of electricity to Crimea is at least immoral," he said.
Hdanov noticed that three more lines continue to supply electricity to the territory of the occupied peninsula.
At the same time, Ihor Ladnyi, head of Zaporizhzhya supergrid lines service, said in a commentary he supported Crimea's blockade, "but it must be held in a civilized way."
At the moment, the Ukrainian authorities give no official information on the deenergizing of Crimea.

Renewed Connections
Injury and degenerative diseases such as Parkinson's Disease or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) can cause irreversible damage to nerve cells, manifesting in lowered mobility, sensation and overall quality of life. Regeneration of nerve cells, especially in the central nervous system, was believed to be very limited. However, scientists at HKUST have discovered methods to stimulate regeneration of axonal regrowth (long nerve fibers responsible for communicating information to different neurons) in mice, lending renewed hope in treating spinal cord injuries.
Neuroscientist, Prof Kai Liu and his team, found that erasing the gene PTEN in mice with spinal cord injuries activates yet another gene mTOR – the latter of which promotes axon regeneration. The first-time discovery was bolstered by a subsequent study by Prof Liu that elucidated the mechanism of neuronal activity enhancement through optogenetic (use of light to control cells) and chemogenetic (use of chemically engineered molecules to control cells) approaches.
A recent collaborative team, led by Prof Liu and comprising scientists from Chinese Academy of Sciences and Jinan University, identified the role of a new gene known as Vps4 in delaying the degradation of damaged nerves from neurodegenerative diseases. This body of work builds understanding toward the intricate mechanisms and possibility of neuro-regeneration, giving rise to future development of disease treatment and management.
Prof Kai Liu is Cheng Associate Professor of Science at the Division of Life Science at HKUST. He has published numerous papers in high impact journals such as Science Advances, PNAS and Nature Neuroscience.

This year through the Post-Secondary Partnership Program grant Kayas has partnered with Blue Quills University to offer Early Learning and Child Care Level 2 certification. This child care training is vital to the long term health of Little Red River Cree Nation. The population is very young, creating a high need for day cares, head start programs and early schooling. There are many residents with their Level 1 certification, but almost none with their level 2 or level 3.
The program consists of a 12 week classroom program taught by visiting instructors from Blue Quills University, followed by a 12 week practicum working under supervision in daycares or schools. Children are the future of any community, and Kayas is proud to help bring greater child care to Little Red.

Alterations of plasma glycerophospholipid and sphingolipid species in male alcohol-dependent patients (2015)
Background: Alcohol abuse is a major risk factor for somatic and neuropsychiatric diseases. Despite their potential clinical importance, little is known about the alterations of plasma glycerophospholipid (GPL) and sphingolipid (SPL) species associated with alcohol abuse. Methods: Plasma GPL and SPL species were quantified using electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry in samples from 23 male alcohol-dependent patients before and after detoxification, as well as from 20 healthy male controls. Results: A comparison of alcohol-dependent patients with controls revealed higher phosphatidylcholine (PC; P-value = 0.008) and phosphatidylinositol (PI; P-value = 0.001) concentrations in patients before detoxification, and higher PI (P-value = 0.001) and phosphatidylethanolamine (PE)-based plasmalogen (PEP; P-value = 0.003) concentrations after detoxification. Lysophosphatidylcholines (LPC) were increased by acute intoxication (P-value = 0.002). Sphingomyelin (SM) concentration increased during detoxification (P-value = 0.011). The concentration of SM 23:0 was lower in patients (P-value = 2.79 x 10(-5)), and the concentrations of ceramide Cer d18:1/16:0 and Cer d18:1/18:0 were higher in patients (P-value = 2.45 x 10(-5) and 3.73 x 10(-5)). Activity of lysosomal acid sphingomyelinase (ASM) in patients correlated positively with the concentrations of eight LPC species, while activity of secreted ASM was inversely correlated with several PE, PI and PC species, and positively correlated with the molar ratio of PC to SM (Pearson's r = 0.432; P-value = 0.039). Conclusion: Plasma concentrations of numerous GPL and SPL species were altered in alcohol-dependent patients. These molecules might serve as potential biomarkers to improve the diagnosis of patients and to indicate health risks associated with alcohol abuse. Our study further indicates that there are strong interactions between plasma GPL concentrations and SPL metabolism. (C) 2015 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
Differential effects of alexithymia subscales on autonomic reactivity and anxiety during social stress (2011)
Objectives: Alexithymia is characterized by a difficulty in identifying and describing one's emotions. Recent research has associated differential effects of the alexithymia facets to hypothalamic pituitary adrenal (HPA) axis markers during stress. This study aimed to analyze how the facets of alexithymia interact with autonomic reactivity as well as self- and observer-rated anxiety during a social stress task. Methods: With the use of a public-speaking paradigm, skin conductance levels (SCLs) and heart rate (HR) during the defined periods of baseline, preparation, stress, and recovery were assessed in 60 volunteers (42 females, mean age 22.8) categorized as having either high (HDA) or low (LDA) degrees of alexithymia. Results: We found smaller SCLs during preparation and speech in the HDA group. Regression analyses indicated that only the alexithymia facet "difficulty in describing feelings" (DDF) was associated with smaller electrodermal responses. In the HDA group, self- and observer-rated anxiety was higher in the HDA than in the LDA group, which was attributable to higher scores in the subscales "difficulty in identifying feelings" (DIF) and "externally oriented thinking" (EOT). Conclusions: Our data support and specify the decoupling hypothesis of alexithymia by showing that the facets of alexithymia are differentially related to autonomic reactivity as well as self- and observer-rated anxiety during social stress.
Negative work perception not changed in a short work-anxiety-coping group therapy intervention (2016)
Background: Work anxiety is often associated with long-term sick leave and requires early intervention. Work anxieties are associated with negative work perception. Therefore, one aim in early intervention is a cognitive reframing of dysfunctional perceptions of workplace characteristics. Methods: A psychotherapeutic specialist conducted two group programs of four sessions each. One hundred twenty-three rehabilitation in-patients with work anxieties were randomly assigned either to a work anxiety-coping group or to a recreational group. The Short Questionnaire for Work Analysis (KFZA) was administered before and after the group treatment to measure perceptions of working conditions. Results: Participants from the work anxiety-coping group did not see their work in a significantly more positive light at the end of the intervention compared to participants from the recreational group. Conclusions: A short work anxiety-coping group did not initiate a consistent positive re-appraisal of work. Employers and occupational physicians should not expect positive changes of work perception when an employee returns from short medical rehabilitation including work-directed treatment. Additional support from the workplace must be considered, e.g. employer-physician-employee conversation preceding return to work, or (temporary) work adjustment.
Work anxiety is a potentially disabling mental health problem, which can cause (long-term) sickness absence. In many cases patients do not openly report their anxieties and tend to give externalizing explanations of inner problems. Therefore people with work anxiety may perceive their workplace more negatively than those without such anxiety. To investigate the relation between subjective work description and work anxiety. There were 148 inpatient participants and 8015 general population controls. Patients with work anxiety described their workplace significantly more negatively than patients without work anxiety and employees in the general population, with no differences in workplace descriptions between psychosomatic patients without work anxiety and the general population sample. The type of complaint about work conditions was related to the specific type of work anxiety. Reports about workplace burdens can be indicative of work anxiety and should prompt further in-depth assessments. The content of complaints about work conditions may point to the type of underlying work anxiety.
Workplace phobia, workplace problems, and work ability among primary care patients with chronic mental disorders (2014)
Purpose: Work-related anxieties are frequent and have a negative effect on the occupational performance of patients and absence due to sickness. Most important is workplace phobia, that is, panic when approaching or even thinking of the workplace. This study is the first to estimate the prevalence of workplace phobia among primary care patients suffering from chronic mental disorders and to describe which illness-related or workplace-specific context factors are associated with workplace phobia. Methods: A convenience sample of 288 primary care patients with chronic mental disorders (70% women) seen by 40 primary care clinicians in Germany were assessed using a standardized diagnostic interview about mental disorders and workplace problems. Workplace phobia was assessed by the Workplace Phobia Scale and a structured Diagnostic and Statical Manual of Mental Disorders-based diagnostic interview. In addition, capacity and participation restrictions, illness severity, and sick leave were assessed. Results: Workplace phobia was found in 10% of patients with chronic mental disorders, that is, approximately about 3% of all general practice patients. Patients with workplace phobia had longer durations of sick leave than patients without workplace phobia and were impaired to a higher degree in work-relevant capacities. They also had a higher degree of restrictions in participation in other areas of life. Conclusions: Workplace phobia seems to be a frequent problem in primary care. It may behoove primary care clinicians to consider workplace-related anxiety, including phobia, particularly when patients ask for a work excuse for nonspecific somatic complaints.

Lovely thoughts from a wise friend on how gender equality may have changed the way one intentionally cultivates marital fidelity:
In the Shadow of Modesto
It's true that the standard "adultery prevention" tips, as laudable as their intentions are, do cast women in a single role--that of tempter. As the frequency and type of co-ed interactions increases, it is certainly true that the temptation to infidelity would increase, just as the possibility of more predatory interactions would increase. (A sad truth for women--the more doors that open for them, the greater the chance that a wolf is lurking behind one of them.)
But women are more than tempters. They are colleagues, friends, bosses, shipmates, advisers, counselors, superiors, and dependents. Christian men who are sincere about cultivating the virtues of marital fidelity--both in their own lives and in broader society--need to figure out how to do this in the context of an exploding web of co-ed interactions that can no longer be simply avoided.
I might also add the conversation over how women might cultivate those same virtues--personal sexual morality and respect for marital integrity in the broader society--is a complicated one indeed. Adding in the dynamic of the all-too-prevalent incidence of sexual assault, abuse, and harassment only increases the complexity of the conversation. I'm not sure I'm up for it.

You've learned how to set SMART goals, now it's time to create a feasible budget and stick to it.
Taking control of your finances starts with understanding them. Budgeting doesn't have to be hard when you break it down into parts. In this post, we'll help you find the right tools and get started on building a budget and taking control of your finances.
Get the right tools
Before you get started, you'll need to chose the tool you want to use to track your spend. Smart Money offer an awesome online budget planner or if you want to go old school, you can use something as simple as a notebook, excel or google spreadsheets.
If you want to track your money on the go, you might want to use an app like Mint (from Intuit) or Pocketguard.
Work out your income
This might sound easy but people often forget to think about what they actually get paid after their tax and super. Pull out a payslip and look at how much your actually seeing each pay packet.
If you're a freelancer, this can be slightly harder. You might to start with last year's tax return and use that as a baseline for what you'll earn this year.
Don't forget to include income from any side hustles, bonuses or investments (like shares or investment properties) that you might have or consider any significant changes in income (like taking time off to have a baby) that might be coming in the future.
Work out your spending
Before you can start your budget, you need to work out what you're already spending. Go back over your bank and credit card statements for the last three months and look at what you've been paying for.
Start to bucket your spending into categories like the following:
- Rent/Mortgage
- Utilities
- Debt (HECS debt or any monthly repayments on credit cards)
- Food and Drink (don't to forget to include all those takeaway coffees and dinners)
- Clothing
- Transport
- Phone/Internet
- Health and wellbeing (gym membership, yoga studio, hair and beauty)
- Premiums (make sure you factor in those once a year costs like health insurance)
- Entertainment (those little costs like movie tickets, weekends away and presents)
Analyse your spend
Now you know what you're earning and what you're spending, it's time to start making some changes. You need to ensure your spend is less than your income and you're able to anticipate large or unexpected purchases – like getting your car fixed. You need to be realistic about where you can save costs and not make it too hard or there's no way you'll stick to it. Start to think about small changes you can make to save on your expenses.
Budgets don't have to be scary and 99% of the hard work is done in the planning. Finding the right tool for you and getting all your information together will help you quickly see patterns on where you could start saving.
Now that you've set your budget, the next step is to ensure you stick to it.

China: Stocks fall for 4th straight week amid economic worries
[SHANGHAI] China stocks closed at their lowest level in two months on Friday, with the benchmark index registering its fourth week of declines, amid increasing concerns that a recent pick-up in economic activity may be fizzling out.
The Shanghai Composite Index lost 0.3 per cent to 2,827.11 points, its lowest close since March 11. The blue-chip CSI300 index fell 0.5 per cent to 3,074.94.
For the week, the SSEC lost 3 per cent, and the CSI300 shed 1.8 per cent. Both indexes fell for the fourth straight week.
Investor confidence had been reviving on signs of economic improvement in March, but doubts set in after a People's Daily article on Monday, which described the economic trend as being"L-shaped", implying little pick-up in growth momentum.
The article also appeared to signal that Beijing will be more cautious about loose monetary policies, especially the use of excessive debt, to stimulate growth.
This apparent policy shift, away from rapid credit expansion seen early in the year, was supported by data showing China's fiscal expenditures rose 4.5 per cent in April from a year earlier, slowing sharply from a 20.1 per cent jump in March.
Main sectors fell, with consumer and transportation shares leading the decline.

Zechariah 14:1 Beholde, the day of the Lorde commeth, and thy spoyle shalbe deuided in the middest of thee. Zechariah 14:2 For I wyll gather together all the heathen to fight against Hierusalem, so that the citie shalbe wonne, the houses spoyled, and the women defiled: the halfe of the citie shall go away into captiuitie, and the residue of the people shal not be caryed out of the citie. Zechariah 14:3 After that, shall the Lorde go foorth to fight against those heathen, as men vse to fight in the day of battaile.
Zechariah 14:4 Then shall his feete stand vpon the mount Oliuet that lyeth vpon the east side of Hierusalem, and the mount Oliuet shall cleaue in two eastwarde and westwarde, so that there shalbe a great valley: and the halfe mount shal remoue toward the north, & the other towarde the south. Zechariah 14:5 And ye shall flee vnto the valley of my hylles, for the valley of the hylles shall reache vnto Asal: yea, flee shall ye lyke as ye fled for the earthquake in the dayes of Oziah king of Iuda: and the Lorde my God shall come, and all the sainctes with him. Zechariah 14:6 In that day shall there be no cleare light, but darke. Zechariah 14:7 This shalbe that speciall day which is knowen vnto the Lorde, neither day nor night: but about the euening time it shalbe light. Zechariah 14:8 In that time shall there waters of lyfe runne out from Hierusalem: the halfe part of them towarde the cast sea, and the other halfe towarde the vttermost sea, and shall continue both sommer and winter. Zechariah 14:9 And the Lorde him selfe shal be king ouer all the earth: At that time shall there be one Lorde onely, and his name shall be but one. Zechariah 14:10 All the lande shalbe turned as a plaine from Gibea to Remmon, towardes the south of Hierusalem: She shalbe set vp, and inhabited in her place, from Beniamins port vnto the place of the first port, and vnto the corner port, and from the towre of Hananeel vnto the kinges wine presses. Zechariah 14:11 There shal men dwell, and there shal be no more destruction, but Hierusalem shalbe safely inhabited.
Zechariah 14:12 This shalbe the plague wherewith the Lorde wyll smyte all people that haue fought against Hierusalem, Their fleshe shall consume away, though they stand vpon their feete, their eyes shalbe corrupt in their holes, and their tongue shall consume in their mouth. Zechariah 14:13 In that day shall the Lorde make a great sedition among them: so that one man shall take another by the hande, and laye his handes vpon the handes of his neighbour. Zechariah 14:14 Iuda shall fight against Hierusalem, and the armies of al the heathen shalbe gathered together rounde about, with golde and siluer, and a very great multitude of apparell. Zechariah 14:15 And this plague shall go ouer horses, mules, cammels, asses, & all the beastes that shalbe in the hoast, like as yonder plague was.
Zechariah 14:16 Euery one that remayneth then of all the people which came against Hierusalem, shall go vp early to worship the king [euen] the Lorde of hoastes, and to kepe the feast of tabernacles. Zechariah 14:17 And loke what generation vpon the earth goeth not to Hierusalem for to worshippe the king the Lorde of hoastes, vpon the same shall come no rayne. Zechariah 14:18 If the kindred of Egypt go not vp, and come not, it shall not [rayne] vpon them: This shalbe the plague wherewith the Lorde wyll smyte all the heathen that come not vp to kepe the feast of tabernacles, Zechariah 14:19 Yea this shalbe the plague of Egypt, and the plague of all people that go not vp to kepe the feast of tabernacles.
Zechariah 14:20 At that time shall the ryding geare of the horses be holy vnto the Lorde: the kettels in the lordes house shalbe lyke the basons before the aulter. Zechariah 14:21 Yea, all the kettels in Hierusalem and Iuda shalbe holy vnto the Lorde of hoastes: and al they that slay offringes, shall come and take of them, and seethe therein: And at that time there shalbe no mo Chanaanites in the house of the Lorde of hoastes.

B.L. Lear administrated a large fund for the education of slaves that had been established by General Thaddeus Kosciusko, a famous Polish hero in the American Revolution. Upon Kosciusko's death in 1817, he had left the fund to his longtime acquaintance and fellow son of liberty, Thomas Jefferson. In September 1825, B.L. Lear wrote a letter to Thomas Jefferson Randolph, grandson of Jefferson and apparent heir to his estate, regarding a specific plan for the education of free blacks. The core of Lear's plan was to purchase young slaves and for them Education in plain literature & mechanical arts, and at a proper age transport them to the Colony in Africa to be as useful there as they may. Lear's letter also related to Randolph the following information about Jefferson's attitude toward the fund he approved very heartily the plan I then proposed to adopt, tho' he declined to give any advice or express any opinion in the matter, considering himself - now without authority.
Lear wrote this letter shortly after meeting with northern groups dedicated to the education of free blacks. The African School in New Jersey had been established in 1817 by the Presbyterian Synod of New York. New York Protestants created the school for the specific the goal of instructing blacks as preachers and teachers. Once free black people received such an education, they could be sent to Liberia or Haiti to help establish stable societies. This plan accorded with the vision of the American Colonization Society, a national initiative established in 1818, which channeled white efforts to cautiously deal with the slavery question. Whites Americans who supported plans in which education and colonization for blacks went hand in hand tended not to address a related question: If, as they believed, free blacks could become good citizens of an overseas colony through education, why could they not do so in America? Most free blacks roundly opposed colonization; they preferred to remain in the only country their family had known for generations, and work there for the freedom of black Americans still in slavery. Only about 15,000 free American blacks moved to Liberia over three decades time. Of those who did colonize, many professed a desire to spread Christianity by missionary work.
Despite the ideological support groups of white Americans sometimes afforded plans to educate blacks, and widespread backing among African Americans themselves, the support often took inadequate financial form. The African School of New Jersey ran out of money within a few years after its establishment. As it turns out, Kosciusko's fund could not be used to support it as Lear and Randolph had hoped. His family waged legal litigation for years- eventually succeeding in a Supreme Court case - to control Kosciusko's estate themselves.
