Shoulder Arthroscopy Treatment
Most shoulder conditions can be treated with non-surgical methods. Treatments may include physical or occupational therapy and anti-inflammatory medication to reduce pain and swelling. Cortisone injections may sometimes be helpful. Arthroscopy is recommended when such treatments have provided minimal or no improvement of your symptoms. Arthroscopic surgery is commonly used to reconstruct ligaments or remove damaged tissue and bone spurs. In some cases, both arthroscopic and open surgery techniques are used. Your doctor will discuss your examination results and help you decide on your course of treatment.

Hours: 8:00 a.m. – 8:00 p.m.
The origins of Temazcal
The word Temazcal has ancient Mesoamerican origins, meaning "house of heat" or "temple of warm stones," and was used in Aztec and Mayan cultures to heal and purify the mind, body and soul. The ceremony represents a return to the womb of Mother Earth, and is still used today in many parts of Mexico and Central America for spiritual and health reasons. The purpose of the Temazcal is to be reborn, by balancing participant's wisdom, awareness and will. The ritual has endless physiological and psychological benefits, and works as an excellent stress reliever because it detoxifies and regenerates cells.
Our resort's spiritual ceremony
Our Temazcal ceremonies are led by an Intercessor, or healer, and are one hour long. The ritual will begin with a blessing from the Intercessor, and one by one, guests will enter the Temazcal structure, sitting in a circle for the healing ceremony. The shelter will be filled with hot stones and the Intercessor will guide participants through the spiritual ritual, involving aromas, herbal steams, sounds and sensations. Afterwards, we recommend participants take a cold shower to regulate body temperature, rest, and rehydrate, to allow the body and mind to process the experience.
Experience the Temazcal during your stay
This cleansing ancestral ceremony is included in your Unlimited-Luxury® experience at Dreams Playa Mujeres.

365 Things to Do in Memphis #280: Dance at Paula and Raiford's Disco
There's only one place in Memphis where you can dance on a light-up dance floor while an octagenarian in sequins spins your favorite classic hits.
Assignment #280 in the 365 Things to Do in Memphis is to get on the dance floor at Paula and Raiford's Disco.
While I had been to Old Raiford's (aka, Raiford's Hollywood Disco on Vance) before it closed, I had never been to the new club that Raiford opened with his daughter Paula on Second St. And because I loved Old Raiford's in all of it's cash-only, brightly lit, 40oz. glory, I was a little apprehensive about this new space. What if they had decided to do away with the office furniture, poles and light up dance floor and get disappointingly classy?
As soon as I walked in, my fears were eased.
When you walk up to Paula and Raiford's, there's a red carpet and a velvet rope (making it possibly the only club in Memphis with a rope line). There's also a pair of chrome-plated bicycles chained up outside. When I was there on Friday night around 10 p.m., there was no line outside. There wasn't even a line at the little window just inside the door where you show your ID and pay your cover (usually $10).
That's because I was early – way early. It was just me and a handful employees hanging out, watching the Lakers game. Even though I was all alone, the place was set to maximum party – the music was turned up loud, the fog machine was going full blast, and Mr. Raiford, the club's octagenarian DJ, was still going through costume changes like it was a packed house.
I went to the bar, forked over my $6 for a bottle of Heineken (all of the regular-sized beers are $6, but they have Bud Light by the 40oz.) and sat down in a u-shaped white vinyl booth to wait on my friends Elle and Claudine.
Even though Paula and Raiford's Disco is much larger than the old space on Vance, it's nice to see that some things haven't changed. Every available surface is covered in red and white rope lights, streamers or red balloons. There are still hand prints on the walls and the signage is still kind of hilarious. I was happy to see that they also kept their seating the same – white vinyl booths, reflective silver tables and high-backed rolling office chairs, exactly like the ones in your work's conference room.
Also, not only does Paula and Raiford's have a pole, the new location has enough room for several of them. Anyone is allowed to dance on them (or, as the case was when I was there, run and leap onto them and slide down fireman-style), just know that they're not responsible for your pole-related injuries.
Around 11 p.m., the club started to fill up.
The three employees who had been dancing on the light-up dance floor in an effort, I suppose, to make the rest of us feel less intimidated by an empty floor, gave way to a crowd of people.
Mr. Raiford was manning the DJ booth in the way that your most ADD friend controls the car stereo. He would get halfway through a song, then skip abruptly to the next one if no one was dancing (or in some cases, even if they were).
The music was a mix of old Memphis (Elvis' "Suspicious Minds" and "Jailhouse Rock"), current top-40 songs (that "Tonight's Gonna Be a Good Night" song), group dances (the Cupid Shuffle was played at least twice) and 1970s classics like "Let's Get It On" and "Purple Rain". I'm pretty much convinced that Prince is Mr. Raiford's spirit animal.
Everyone was friendly (other than the armed dance floor bouncer, who really doesn't like it when you leab over the railing to take a sip of your beer) and the boys weren't shy about asking the girls to dance. I also wasn't shy about dancing – Claudine got pictures of me doing the Cupid Shuffle.
I danced with my friends, I danced with a nice guy that politely asked for my hand when "Purple Rain" came on. I danced with a charmingly inoxicated man with no shoes on.
When I decided to head home around 1:45 a.m., people were still streaming inside. I'll definitely be back though, sooner rather than later.
Paula and Raiford's Disco is open every Friday and Saturday night from 9 p.m. until 4 a.m. If you're planning to be unable to drive, they offer limo service to and from the club. Cover is usually $10 though I've heard that sometimes, it's $15 or $20, so bring at least $20 in cash with you. Drinks start at $5 for shots and $6 for beers, cash only. There's an ATM inside, but the fees are high.
You must be 21 or older to get in.

I've passed by this disco many times during the day. I always wanted to know what it was like at night. Thanks for the info!
It's great to here about a place you can go to that play' s the older disco tunes with other dance along songs, me and some friends we call our self the GNO's ( girls night Out group. ) They would like the music and dancing, but not the acohol I will tell them about it. Thank you for going in to details, that was great.
Does Raiford's allow smoking? I'd love to go…but my asthma can't take cigarette smoke!
Raiford's is incredibly smoky, unfortunately.
The best club downtown memphis……….I party at Paula & Raiford's on my birthday with my girls and e had soooooo much fun there. We will definate be back to party there again soon.
yes they do allow people to smoke in the club too
This sounds like a great place to go for my birthday but i want to know if they play up to date music too? I love music, and they got me with the lights and stage and the poles
They do play some current tunes, not your typical "club" stuff, more fun, danceable tunes.
[…] lighting with my mom and Gwen; and I finally did my duty as a Memphian and went with my friends to Raiford's. It was a […]

More on Fantasy Violence in Children's Art
Excerpts from "The Secret Art of Boys."
Under the guidance of educators who are interested in facilitating personalized pathways to creative experience, children and in particular boys, will thrive in learning environments where ideas related to super heroes, monsters, villains, military action, and other aspects of their make believe worlds can be expressed. Just as fantasy violence can be a part of children's play i.e. cops and robbers, super heroes or war play (Brown, Gurian, Kindlon & Thompson 00, Jones 2002, children will express fantasy violence in the art they create (Duncum 05, Rubin 05, Lowenfeld 57).
Many educators, who might consider such content inappropriate for school and resort to censorship, miss out on opportunities to integrate and synthesize essential learning into children's desire to express make believe violence in their fantasy art. Art teachers sensitive to child centered learning may view children's decisions to express fantasy violence as a means to facilitate profound educational and creative growth experiences.
Concerns that art expressing fantasy violence will lead to real violence are unfounded. When rare events of lethal violence are fully examined, the motivations for committing such heinous acts are clearly related to revenge motives and victim mentalities. A common thread in these acts is the transmission of actual threats in spoken or written forms. Other red flags to consider in the context of an individual's normal behavior might include changes in their appearance and changes in friends, frequent use of inappropriate language, changes in personal habits or humanitarian or religious values and episodes where individuals are quick to anger, cry or reveal other unstable emotions (Hollowell '05).
Fantasy violence and play violence is what it is: fantasy and play. Play is a natural form of learning and one of the ways children learn best. Play is fundamental to intellectual development. Just like real artists it is not uncommon for children to play with ideas, materials and techniques in choice based art programs. The concern that real violence can be triggered in children who engage in artistic activity related to their fantasy play, contradicts what we know about creativity.
The creative process strengthens children's self confidence as new concepts, objects, ideas, and performance skills are born from individual or collaborative efforts. Conceiving and solving artistic problems in a state of creative flow has the affect of releasing tensions, anxiety and ameliorating violent or aggressive dispositions (Lowenfeld '57, Rubin '05, Csikzentmilhaly '99, May '75).

Hi Clyde,
My experience with middle school boys certainly brings up the subject of boys and drawing violent art work. I have come to regard the art work as experiments in my students. Only on a few rare occasions has a student demonstrated personal issues that were reflected in disturbing drawings.
I really think that trying to illustrate different art genres and styles is a natural course of self-discovery. Most of my boys are fascinated with Manga style and all of the images that come with it. In my mini-course on "Manga Drawing", my students and I examine line qualities, shading techniques and implied textures of this action-style art.

Oh yes Lori! Manga has such wonderful possibilities for developing drawing skills! I applaud your efforts and I'm sure your boys love your for letting them really get into their art. I'll bet you have a lot of credibility with your students and your course has immense efficacy! Warmest wishes Lori!

Loading track map and video failure.
I do not have data on my iPhone 7 and the track does not have wifi. From my home wifi, I downloaded the track Buttonwillow CW14 from the list of available configurations for the track. I set up the multi cam in the app and selected the phone camera external camera which is a hero 4 session. On the first session the lap data was recorded but no video. On subsequent sessions no data was collected. I tried setting the video to only the iPhone and that did not work either. I was running the app with only battery power as my race card does not have a power supply. The instructions in the app say connect a power supply. Is this the problem or do I have other problems. Thanks
Re: Loading track map and video failure.
The power warning is just a warning. As long as the battery is fine, it will work. Once the phone starts issuing warnings on only 20/10 percent remaining, lap recordings will be interrupted.

We love macro photography, but who said that you need to have an expensive camera and lens to shoot tiny objects? This cool little inexpensive DIY project will show you how to make your own camera-microscope capable of shooting all those little things you wanted to capture for so long.
Kenji Yoshino published this DIY project for the Make magazine. All you will need are a few tools, the focus lens from a cheap laser pointer and about $10 worth of materials from the hardware store – and of course some good DIY spirit.
Looking at the result of the project the one thing that we feel is missing is something that will fix the smartphone in place each time with the macro lens in front of the camera. a simple possible solution might be to either mark a straight line or better of – add a small straight piece of plastic/wood or anything else that you will have your smartphone push against as a permanent place holder.

BUDGET ICELAND ROAD TRIP DAY 2 : SNAEFELLSNES PENINSULA (West Iceland)
So following on from my rather subdued first-day in Reykjavik, things really started getting serious on our second day.
Initially we were at a bit of a blank with what we were to do with our second day. We had already pre-planned to explore the entire South coast of Iceland on days 3 and 4, and had booked accommodation accordingly, meaning we had a whole day at our disposal on day 2. A little bit of digging and research pointed us in the way of Western Iceland – the Snaefellsnes Peninsula. Located about 2.5 hours drive out of Reykjavik, the peninsula is actually a national park and has a lot to see – more than enough to fill a day. So off we set.
This is a much less visited corner of Iceland compared to the typical tourist trails of the South Coast and "Golden Circle", and we weren't too sure what to expect. To be honest I don't think our expectations were set enormously high, as we were expecting the main bulk of our breathtaking sights to occur on the South coast on days 3 and 4, so we went into Western Iceland with quite an open mind. It turned out to be an ideal starting point to see some of the insane scenery Iceland has to offer!
The drive itself out of Iceland is incredibly beautiful, passing through mountain after mountain before Reykjavik is even out of your sight-line, eventually crossing a low road straight through an estuary that leads to the sea. You will probably find yourself getting over-excited and wanting to photograph EVERYTHING from your car window (I know I was) – don't bother, save your phone memory/film – these mountains are nothing compared to what is to come.
Eventually we came to what became our first stop of the day (snack stops not counting) at what we later learnt was Budavik. This wasn't a planned stop, it just looked pretty interesting so we decided to have a look. On of the first sights you will probably see when passing here is the dramatic jet-black Stave Church standing lonely next to a huge lava-field :
The Church is what initially caught our attention, and we got out to investigate. As I mentioned, right next to the church is a huge and mightily impressive lava field. This was the first lava field we had properly seen in Iceland (little did we realise how many there were to come), and we were properly amazed. It really was our first real look at the otherworldly Icelandic landscape we had heard so much about –
The lava field is really fun to run around and play in – whilst we were there we saw somebody else meditating on top of a flat lava spike. Its actually quite a small field in comparison to others we saw later on, but as our first it was extremely impressive.
We wandered around a bit further near the church, and quickly realised we were walking in what affectionately became known as "The Valley of the Hair".
This place really is like something from a Disney film. Mountains of strands of long, sandy grass spilling over an entire valley – if this hasn't influenced at least one animated film already, I'd put it as a certainty to do so in the future. The entire landscape is quite surreal and made a great backdrop for a lot of photo ops –
"The Valley of the Hair" leads down to the sea, and a picturesque if relatively unspectacular beach (in comparison to other beaches we were yet to see). But as our first real glimpse at Iceland's coastline, we were pretty happy –
I mentioned above "The Valley of the Hair" being a Disney-esque landscape, it probably won't be a surprise that this area of Iceland has been the setting for several films in the past, most famously "Journey To The Centre Of The Earth" by Jules Verne. Having reached Budavik, we were actually now inside Western Iceland's national park "Snaefellsjokull", and the landscape was only going to get more dramatic the further we went in…
Raudfeldsgja is something we very nearly missed. Having left Budavik and our beloved Valley of the Hair, we were back on the road and in the car, when from the road we saw a very dramatic looking cliff with a huge crack in it. It looked very intriguing, however we didn't realise we could actually go up close until we saw the "Area Of Interest" sign that will quickly become familiar to any tourist making their way around Iceland. Seeing the sign we quickly spun the car round and pulled up to get a closer look…
My photographs of Raudfeldsgja unfortunately do not really do it justice. For some reason the scale of it doesn't translate on the iPhone camera at all, making it look a lot smaller and less dramatic than it actually is! Raudfeldsgja is pictured behind me in the photo above, and is essentially a narrow cleft that mysteriously disappears into the huge cliff wall. Its a 10-15 minute hike up to the cleft, which is steeper and trickier than it looks, with the last part being in deep (and sinking snow), with a long drop into a stream on your left hand side.
Out of our party of four, I was the only one that managed to make it to the crack in the cliff face (the other three didn't die, they simply gave up). This picture taken from the cleft makes the scale a little clearer, with my two friends looking like little ants in the snow climbing their way towards me –
However it still doesn't really translate the scale properly at all.
Inside the cleft you can go right inside the cliff face, and discover a stream that runs right up the mountain. You can hop along rocks a decent way along the stream, and the views upwards from inside are pretty stunning (there were also lots of dead birds lying around in very states of decay). Sadly my pictures from inside didn't come out too good, but here is a close up of the rift in the cliff itself –
and here is inside the cliff looking upwards, this was really beautiful looking at it in real life –
Having gotten out of the cliff and back in the car, the next thing to grab our attention was Arnarstapi which has a gigantic troll monument clearly visible from the road –
Giant stone troll aside however, there ain't much to see here. Our next stop was something we had read about in a guidebook, but look very underwhelming on entry…ladies and gentlemen, how wrong we were….
For Western Iceland Hellnar is a relatively big place, with a hotel and several houses in the surrounding area. We had been told it was a good place to stop, and it was signed as a place of interest, but driving towards it we had very little idea WHY.
We soon came to learn in Iceland that many places only really display their charms to you when you get right up close to them – be it a crater, a waterfall or a cliff edge, you often don't get to see what it is you actually came to see until the very last second, and Hellnar is no exception.
You drive up to Hellnar and start walking towards the coast not really knowing what to expect, then as you approach the cliff edge everything starts to spill out underneath in wonderfully dramatic fashion. I really loved Hellnar, its one of the most beautiful places I have ever visited –
From a long shot, it's probably not entirely clear what everything is. Essentially Hellnar is home to some insane rock formations. I had so many pictures of crazy rock patterns on my phone after visiting this place, its pretty amazing that some of these patterns are formed naturally –
These formations are all over, everywhere you look – its a pretty inspiring place visually.
Hellnar's trump card however is its huge rock-arch to the side of the coast line, Badstofa. This big arch houses its own small (and very angry) lagoon inside, of which waves are constantly crashing against the rocks in an extremely dramatic fashion. I could watch this all day, the scenery is mesmerising. I tried really hard to get a really strong wave-crashing photo, but my timing was all wrong – this was the best I managed –
Hellnar is definitely a hidden delight of Iceland, and somewhere I definitely recommend. I would have liked to have spent longer there – the entire bay is pretty hypnotising.
Back in the car, and we saw our next destination from several kilometres away. Several huge jutting rocks hurl themselves out the sea in imposing style at Londrangar –
You can walk right up to them, but sadly we didn't have time. We did however have lunch by the insane rocket-shaped lighthouse at nearby Malariff (which I forgot to take a picture of). Malariff has a very angry sea right under its coastline, and its well worth taking a few minutes to watch the waves crash against the rocks.
Next up was another place that wasn't instantly visible from the road, but was so worth the short walk to see it…
By this point you are well into the huge national park, and the massive mountain Songhellir is pretty much what you are driving around – views of it from the road are pretty breathtaking.
Dritvik is a beach area, right next to another beach area called Djupalonssandur. I'm not entirely sure which beach is which as they are pretty much next to each other, so I'm going to call the area Dritvik, purely because it is easier to write.
This is a seriously stunning area, well worth an entire afternoon of your time (if you have it) as opposed to the hour or so we could spend here. Walking towards the beach you will pass a small rocky arch Gatklettur, with some accessible (and very beautiful) mineral pools behind it –
Heading down to the beach, you will walk through the remains of the shipwrecked British ship Eding which was wrecked here in the 1940s – eerie right.
The beach itself is amazing. Really stunning. Middle earth, black sands, rock formations everywhere you look. Take a while and have a walk, the landscape is so incredible, and all set among the backdrop of a completely clear, angry sea empty of ships and boats –
Have a play on the rocks, take some pictures, soak in the environment, this was a really stunning area to visit.
Back to the car, and the day was getting on, we didn't have too much time before darkness would become us (not forgetting we had still to drive back to Reykjavik), but we still had time for a couple more stops…
Saxholl is an accessible crater a short drive off the main road. The climb to the top is about 300m, but isn't too tough going. The views from the top are magnificent, enable you to see over a huge section of completely uninhabited land. The vast distances of huge plains of emptiness are quite unique for a Londoner, and really quite beautiful (this is looking down from the top of the crater, the height doesn't seem to have come through too well, those small blobs of white were massive snow patches!) –
The crater itself is dry inside, and again extremely scenic to look down into (and another thing on this road trip that didn't translate particularly well on an iPhone camera!) –
Our final stop was a bit of a curveball, another beach we had read about Skarosvik.
Skarosvik is completely unexpected. Having spent the day on dramatic black sand beaches, surrounded by lava fields, craters and rocks, suddenly you have a perfect golden sand Caribbean-style beach right in front of you! This beach is flawless, and again a really beautiful spot particularly (I imagine) in the warmer Summer months –
The road past Skarosvik apparently leads to some amazing bird cliffs which we tried to access, but I really wouldn't recommend in a two-wheel drive. Its a very tough and rocky road, and a very remote place to find yourself in trouble with your car…
It was now starting to get late, and as such it was time for us to turn back to Reykjavik. The road home was as unexpectedly scenic as our day had been, taking us to a dramatically different landscape – all of a sudden we were going over snowy mountains, very different to the lava fields below –
We also saw mirror-clear lakes of which the mountains reflected into – landscape lovers, stuff like this will make you cream your pants –
By the end of the day Western Iceland had absolutely out-done our expectations. The landscape was awe-inspiring, vast and varied, and a fantastic introduction to the wonders of the country. What had initially started as a "might as well give this area a go" definitely turned into some of the most beautiful places I have ever visited. Top tip though (and this basically applies to EVERYWHERE in Iceland) – take food, water and make sure your car is good for petrol. Places to pit-stop are few and very far between…
Our next day saw us take on our first leg of the might and the wonder of the Southern Icelandic coast….

On 30 September 2017, Prime Minister (PM) Lee Hsien Loong praised SPOTTI, an interdisciplinary student-led mobile application aimed at battling diabetes. Two School of Sports, Health and Leisure (SHL) students presented SPOTTI to PM Lee, in the presence of over 4,000 Teck Ghee Constituency residents.
This location-based app aims to fight diabetes by enabling users to locate healthier food options and exercise programmes near them while supplemented by exercise video demonstrations.
SPOTTI is the creation of an interdisciplinary Final-Year Project (FYP) involving students from School of Applied Science (SAS), School of Infocomm (SOI), School of Management and Communication (SMC) and SHL students. Taking two semesters to create, this FYP is an industry collaboration with Teck Ghee Constituency in which most of the exercise videos were filmed.

A lot of us wonder what it's like to be royalty. Well, for San Franciscan schoolgirl Mia Thermopolis (Anne Hathaway), it's something of a shock.
Mia is the class geek and outsider, with bushy eyebrows and frizzy hair. Her only ally against the taunting of bitchy Lana (Mandy Moore) is her equally bizarre-looking friend, Lilly (Matarazzo). Then one day, she gets a surprise visit from her granny (Julie Andrews), who announces that Mia's dead dad was actually a European Prince and that Mia is the Crown Princess of a little-known country called Genovia. The time has come for her to fulfil her birthright.
So, you've got makeovers, deportment lessons, and new-found fame. More importantly, you've got a young girl trying to learn about her family, while wrestling with the dilemma of giving up her life for a selfless, foreign existence. Of course, this being a Disney flick, you can imagine how it ends...
But it's getting there that's the fun part, as newcomer Hathaway shines in the title role, and generates great chemistry with her legendary British mentor. There is something so indescribably nice about Andrews that never gets tiring, and in this film she also gets to flex her "cool" muscle.
Sure, it's lightweight and overly-fond of slapstick - this is a family film after all - but director Marshall knows how to put together a gag. Add to that colourful scenery and equally charming personalities in front of the camera and you have yourself a very watchable, very warm little Disney comedy. Perfect for Christmas.

With the app you can locate the FLEX car nearby, block it (you have 30 minutes free to reach it) and open it. Once your trip is finished you can lock the car with the app too.
You can see all the trips you made with all the details (day, date, etc.)
Use the App to activate the credit card available in the glove compartment or submit your receipt to be reimbursed.
Just after you release a FLEX car you will see all the details of your trips including the cost.

Significant changes to the health and safety regime for the petroleum and minerals sector will be introduced through amendments to the Crown Minerals Act 1991 and new petroleum regulations.
The Select Committee will report back on the Crown Minerals (Permitting and Crown Land) Bill (CMPC Bill) on 19 March 2013. The Health and Safety in Employment Act (Petroleum Exploration and Extraction) Regulations (HSE (PEE)) come into effect in June 2013.
Although the legislation is still to be finalised, we provide an overview of what these new requirements may mean for operators.
Petroleum activities will be Tier One under the new permit regime, making them subject to an initial higher level of health and safety assessment.
Under the CMPC Bill and related Petroleum Programme, before granting a permit, the Minister must be satisfied that the applicant is likely to have the capability and systems necessary to meet New Zealand health and safety requirements. In doing so, the Minister must seek the views of the Health and Safety Regulator.
Permit operators will be considered likely to meet the required health and safety standards if they:
In addition, the exercise of a permit will be conditional on clearance from the Health and Safety Regulator. This will be given if the Regulator is satisfied that any health and safety requirement that must be met before an activity can be commenced, has been met.
New Zealand's cornerstone health and safety legislation is the Health and Safety in Employment Act 1992 (HSE Act). For petroleum exploration, the HSE Act will be supplemented by the HSE(PEE) regulations.
A core principle of the HSE Act is that the employer is responsible for identifying and assessing hazards and for taking "all practicable steps" to manage them, including:
Employers must also maintain a register of accidents and serious harm sustained at work. Broadly, serious harm refers to an injury or illness arising from a work related activity that causes severe permanent or temporary loss of bodily function.
The Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment (MBIE) must be notified in writing of all serious harm accidents within seven days of the employer becoming aware of them.
The CMPC Bill introduces a new requirement that a permit holder has a designated permit operator who is responsible for the day-to-day management of activities under the permit. From June 2013, the HSE(PEE) regulations will require operators of petroleum installations (both onshore and offshore) to:
Permit operators of smaller scale, lower risk onshore installations will be required to prepare an overview of their health and safety measures rather than submitting a full safety case.
Having robust health and safety policies and systems in place will make the application process easier and will establish a good safety culture that will help to ensure ongoing compliance. On the horizon is the report (due on 30 April 2013) of the Government-commissioned Independent Health and Safety Taskforce. The Taskforce is considering making it a statutory duty for directors and officers to ensure that their business is health and safety compliant, and increasing the sanctions for non-compliance to include manslaughter. Also an Expert Reference Group made up of national and international mining, regulatory and emergency management experts has been set up to advise MBIE on how to develop an effective regulatory framework for all mining in New Zealand. The Group will consider, and consult on, the proposals from the Pike River Royal Commission, many of which will be relevant to petroleum operators.
We will be reviewing the final form of all the proposed changes and we encourage you to look out for our updates in the coming months.
Our thanks to Olivia Stewart for writing this Brief Counsel. For more information please contact the lawyers featured.

Apple TV 2014 preview: What to expect from the new Apple TV RUMOR
What to expect from the new Apple TV 2014
We've been talking about the possibility of a new Apple TV for a long time now. The last time Apple updated the Apple TV was way back in January 2013, and even that was just a minor update. Therefore, speculation about a fourth-generation Apple TV is mounting fast, and it's certainly possible that Apple is gearing up to launch a new Apple TV this year.
In this article, we're bringing you a preview of the Apple TV based on the rumours, speculation and evidence we've seen. It should give you an idea of what to expect from the new Apple TV, and help you decide whether to wait for Apple to launch it or opt for the current Apple TV, or one of the Apple TV's alternatives.
When we find out more about the new generation of Apple TV, we'll update this article to reflect the new information. It'll also be the place you'll find out full review once the new Apple TV launches, so check back regularly for the latest news. See also: Apple TV review.
Apple TV 2014 preview: When is the new Apple TV coming out?
Apple is bound to know that its customers are getting pretty impatient when it comes to the Apple TV. With more than a year since its last minor up date and more than two years since a significant update, it's starting to get rather frustrating.
In those two years since Apple's last Apple TV update, competing products from many rival companies have launched, so Apple really needs to get a move on if it wants to dominate the set-top box market. See: 13 alternatives to the Apple TV
Apple TV 2014 preview: Design
We don't expect the design of the Apple TV to change much from the current model, but there are some theories that it might look more like the Roku Streaming Stick or the Google Chromecast, which both come in a stick-like form that plugs into the television.
It's certainly likely that the Apple TV will be smaller, whether it becomes an Apple TV stick or not, and it's possible there will be new colour options.
There's talk of a new remote for the Apple TV, too. In fact, it's been dubbed the 'magic wand' after mention of such device was spotted in a Steve Jobs email being used as evidence in the Apple vs Samsung case.
Additionally, the Apple TV could have some form of motion control like the Xbox Kinect, thanks to an Apple TV camera. This camera could also be used for FaceTime calls if Apple adds a microphone.
With a microphone, the option of voice control (presumably Siri-based) for the Apple TV would also be present.
Apple TV 2014 preview: Channels
Apple is continuously adding new channels to the Apple TV, but there is still a distinct lack of UK on-demand content. It's possible that the reason Apple still hasn't released a new Apple TV is because it hasn't yet come to agreements with all of the providers behind the content it wants to introduce.
We are hoping for BBC iPlayer on the Apple TV, as well as 4OD and iTV Player.
See also: Apple TV vs Android TV
Apple TV 2014 preview: iOS 8
Apple unveiled iOS 8 during WWDC 2014 in June, and with it comes some new features that could lend themselves nicely to a future Apple TV.
iOS 8 will connect closely with OS X Yosemite, Apple's next version of its Mac operating system, thanks to a new feature called Continuity. Continuity is rumoured to be coming to the Apple TV, too.
This would mean that a user who's been watching a movie on their iPhone during their commute home could walk into their home and see that movie automatically begin playing on their television thanks to the Apple TV.
Apple's new Homekit smart home platform could also be part of the next Apple TV. It's designed to make use of connected home appliances such as lamps, locks and more for an easier and more seamless experience. Apple could use the Apple TV as a central hub for Homekit. Apple TV owners could say 'Hey, Siri, turn out the lights' while in the same room as the Apple TV, for example.
Apple TV 2014 preview: Games
Apple TV owners are keen to see Games come to the device. Amazon's FireTV has 133 games available, while Roku also offers games on its devices. With so many developers already making games for iOS, it would be a great way to bring some of those games to the big screen without the need for iPad mirroring, though presumably you'd need to use an iPad or iPhone as a controller for the game.
Apple TV 2014 preview: App Store
If games do come to the Apple TV, it's likely we'll get an Apple TV App Store, too. This means other apps such as Facebook, Twitter, news, weather and more.
We've got lots more speculation about the Apple TV over in our Apple TV rumour round up.
There are also rumours about a fully-fledged Apple television, dubbed iTV. You can find out everything there is to know about the iTV here.

We don't often eat crab – it's expensive and high in cholesterol. But when I catered, I made thousands of mini-crabcakes for cocktail parties. They're popular, easy to prepare ahead of time and freeze well. Dick and I both love them so they're a treat.
Here's my recipe:
- 1 #crabmeat (lump or claw)
- 1/2 small red onion, diced
- 1-2 stalks celery, diced
- 1/2 pepper, diced (red, yellow or orange)
- 1 lemon (zest and juice)
- 1 small bunch flat leaf parsley, cleaned, picked and chopped
- 1 egg
- 1-2 tablespoons dijon mustard
- 4-5 tablespoons mayonnaise (vegenaise is fine)
- 1/4-1/3 bread crumbs – unseasoned is best
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- Assemble ingredients (wearing kitchen latex or nitrile exam gloves is a good idea when working with crab – saves the hands a bit)
- Pick through the crabmeat, discard any small pieces of shell, squeeze out excess water and place in mixing container.
- Dice the onion, pepper and celery fairly small, consistent size, add to crab.
- Add the chopped parsley, lemon zest, salt and pepper and combine ingredients.
- Mix the egg, mayonnaise, lemon juice and mustard and add to the crab, along with the crumbs.
- Stir to combine but don't over mix. This is where a little finesse is involved. You want to be able to press the mixture into a shape which it retains… so you may need to make it a little wetter )with more mayo/vegenaise) or drier (with a few breadcrumbs) – use your judgement and it will be fine.
- Shape the crabmeat into preferred size (if you're making hors d'oeuvres they should be bite size, otherwise you will probably get about 5 entree size cakes.
- Dust each side with a little bread crumb if you like – the crumbs will brown nicely when you sauté them.
- At this point, you can either: 1) refrigerate them for use later 2) freeze them for use later 3) saute and eat!
- When you are ready to serve, heat a sauté pan large enough to hold the cakes, without crowding, to medium high heat.
- When hot, add 2-3 tablespoons butter (yes, I use butter for these because I think it taste better and I'm ready to throw caution to the wind several times a year for a good crab cake!) and add cakes. Sauté 4-5 until nicely browned, turn and brown the other side.
- Remove and serve. If the meal is not quite ready, you can place the cakes in a preheated 350 oven for 5-10 minutes to reheat.
Tip for using as hors d'oeuvres: Shape into small bite-size cakes. You can freeze at this point if you like. To complete, just remove from freezer (you can stack them in freezer container if you place parchment paper between the layers), and brown on each side – you don't have to let them thaw out completely before you do this. Place browned cakes on baking sheet (again, on parchment paper) and they are ready to pop in the oven for 5-10 minutes before serving on cracker or small toast rounds, perhaps with a horseradish/remoulade.

Do Illegal Fireworks Bother You? [POLL]
My family and I watched the CSI fireworks from the south side of Twin Falls. It was honestly hard to pick out which fireworks were coming from the CSI campus because I think a lot of families celebrated the 4th of July by lighting off illegal fireworks. A lot of these families swear that the 4th of July wouldn't be the same without illegal fireworks. Other people say the rules are the rules. I have read a lot of comments this morning about illegal fireworks. To my surprise there is a group of people who are angry that illegal fireworks are being lite in their neighborhoods.

How To Do Smith Machine Bent Over Row
Smith Machine Bent Over Row Exercise
Smith Machine Bent Over Row is a great compound exercise that builds the lats, middle and upper areas of the back, traps, rear shoulders, biceps and forearms.
It also engages the core to stabilise the upper back and support the lower back.
Smith Machine Bent Over Row is a safer alternative to free weight Barbell Rows in that you are pulling from a fixed angle.
It can be the main exercise in your back workout. You can lift moderate to heavy weights as long as you follow perfect form and technique.
Smith Machine Bent Over Row How To
- Stand with your feet shoulder width apart. Take a wider than shoulder width overhand grip on the bar. Bend forward at the hip at an angle of 70 degrees. Push your hips out and maintain a slight bend in your knees and a flat back throughout the exercise.
- Tighten your core, contract your lats and row the weight back by pulling with your elbow. The bar should touch your mid to lower abdominal area. At the top position, you should pull the scapulae in and feel a contraction in the middle area of the back, traps and rear shoulders.
- Resist the weight and bring it back to starting position.
- Repeat the exercise until you have completed the targeted number of reps.
Form and Technique
Maintain the angle of the pull when doing Smith Machine Bent Over Row.
The 70 degree angle ensures your back will be at its strongest and safest position when handling the weight.
When rowing, always lead with your elbows. Do not use your biceps to start the pull.
At the bottom get a deep stretch by dropping the lats lower. But do not round the shoulders.

Potato & Rice Flour Muffins
Potato Herb Biscuits
7 pounds of firm, white-fleshed Non-GMO potatoes are cooked, dried, and carefully milled to produce just 1 pound of SHILOH FARMS Potato Flour. The result is a versatile grain-free alternative flour with wide-ranging applications from deliciously moist baked goods to smooth, thick-bodied soups and stews.
Dense, highly absorbant, and with a distinct flavor, potato flour is best used in combination with other flours in baking. Because the starch in this fine, white flour attracts and holds water, it helps to extend shelf life and produces exceptionally soft, moist breads, rolls, and other baked goods.
Potatoes have been a staple crop in cultures around the world for thousands of years. Most often recognized for their carbohydrate content, they are an excellent source of Vitamin C, Vitamin B6, iron, and potassium, among other vital nutrients.
Usage: For general baking, replace up to 1/4 of any wheat flour in a recipe (1/6 in yeast-risen recipes), or substitute 5/8 cup potato flour for every 1 cup all-purpose flour. We recommend whisking flours together before adding liquid; if potato flour is added directly to liquid, it is likely to form clumps. Potato flour is highly absorbant and may require adjusting the amount of liquid in your recipe.
1. Make soft, delicate potato breads or rolls.
2. Even just a small amount (around 1 teaspoon) added to cakes, quickbreads, and other baked goods can improve texture and moistness.
3. Add a little to pancake and waffle batters.
4. Thicken soups, stews, gravies, or sauces by substituting 1 Tbsp. of potato flour for every 2 Tbsp. all-purpose flour. For best results, cream with a little shortening before adding to liquids.
5. Replace cornmeal or flour in breadings for fish or poultry.
6. Use as a binder in meatloaf, meatballs, hamburgers, or veggie burgers.
7. Enhance the flavor in potato-based recipes by adding a little potato flour to the mix.

Me and Elder Christ have still been working with Bro. Abraham, the less active. we did some service at his house and helped him clean it, we are doing more this week as it will take a lot of work to get nice. It is wonderful to see the change in his countenace and home and the feel of it all as we work with him. This week was packed with lessons were we felt the spirit strongly, which is a huge thing. Very satisfying. when we feel the spirit, it matters not whats going on, for it all becomes enjoyable and satisfying. one thing I felt strongly this week was i got a shocking experience at bro. Abrahams house. I was helping screw some covers back on his power outlets and got a little bit electrocuted. it was really just a strong jolt, don't worry, not even my fault really, but still fun. thats about all the interesting stuff thats happened this week. today for p-day we are going to go play some basketball and ping pong at the church with other missionaries. whisch reminds me that we are going to have a conference for the zone leaders and I will be going to a next area for 2 days to be with anext missisonary as my companion goes to the conference. I will get to expereince bikes! exciting. anyways, happy holidays y'all and be safe. sorry for the typos, no time to fix them today.

Glenn Beck is a racist too.

how so? Any proof
Philip_Daniel said
Yes, because you say so, it must be true!
[I don't care for Glenn Beck at all — he's a charlatan, and a fake conservative to boot — but to slander him like this is indicative of mental vapidity.]
I come from a family of Civil Rights Republicans, by the way. Yes, such a thing exists.
I know it's politically-incorrect, but I'd like to see your type, DatGurl!, criticizing mujahedin for their racist attitudes towards blacks [whom they derogatorily call 'abeed, or slaves], as evinced in the following ahadith…
"Allah's Messenger said: Allah created Adam when He had to create him and He struck his right shoulder and there emitted from it white offspring as if they were white ants. He struck his left shoulder and there emitted from it the black offspring as if they were charcoal. He then said (to those who had been emitted) from the right (shoulder): For Paradise and I do not mind. Then He said to those (who had been emitted) from his left shoulder: They are for hell and I do not mind. Transmitted by Ahmad."–Jami at-Tirmidhi 38
"Abu Darda reported that the Holy Prophet said: Allah created Adam when he created him (sic). Then He stroke (sic) his right shoulder and took out a white race as if they were seeds, and He stroke (sic) his left shoulder and took out a black race as if they were coals. Then He said to those who were in his right side: Towards paradise and I don't care. He said to those who were on his left shoulder: Towards Hell and I don't care. – Ahmad"–Mishkat, v. iii, p. 117
"These are the names of Muhammad's male slaves: Yakan Abu Sharh, Aflah, 'Ubayd, Dhakwan, Tahman, Mirwan, Hunayn, Sanad, Fadala Yamamin, Anjasha al-Hadi, Mad'am, Karkara, Abu Rafi', Thawban, Ab Kabsha, Salih, Rabah, Yara Nubyan, Fadila, Waqid, Mabur, Abu Waqid, Kasam, Abu 'Ayb, Abu Muwayhiba, Zayd Ibn Haritha, and also a black slave called Mahran, who was re-named (by Muhammad) Safina (`ship')."–Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyya "Zad al-Ma'ad" part 1 p. 114-116
"The apostle of God and his companions went on a trip. (When) their belongings became too heavy for them to carry, Muhammad told me, `Spread your garment.' They filled it with their belongings, then they put it on me. The apostle of God told me, `Carry (it), for you are a ship.' Even if I was carrying the load of six or seven donkeys while we were on a journey, anyone who felt weak would throw his clothes or his shield or his sword on me so I would carry that, a heavy load. The prophet told me, `You are a ship."'–Ibn Qayyim, Pages 115-116; al-Hulya, Volume 1, Page 369, quoted from Ahmad 5:222
"Narrated Anas bin Malik: Allah's Apostle was on a journey and he had a black slave called Anjasha, and he was driving the camels (very fast, and there were women riding on those camels). Allah's Apostle said, "Waihaka (May Allah be merciful to you), O Anjasha! Drive slowly (the camels) with the glass vessels (women)!""–Sahih Bukhari Volume 8 Book 73 Number 182
Note that I am saying that not all Muslims believe this stuff — only mujahedin, or so-called "holy warriors" who wish to revive the Caliphate and expand the Radical-Islamic empire to cover the entire globe, do.
As a mud-person myself, of Hellenic-Levantine phenotype, I'd like to see the Far-Far-Far-Far-Left engage in some intellectual honesty and hold groups other than Northwest Europeans (which I am not, as the term "Hellenic-Levantine" should suffice to express) accountable for every sin in history…

Ok- I dont know what all this is but:
First off dont try and insult me (mental vapidity?) coz you dont (evidently) agree with my opinion of Glenn Beck. That is such a common thing here on the net. There is not reason to call folks name and assail their character (when u know nothing about them!).
What the h3ll is my "type"? Is this another insult?
IN MY EYES he is a racist. In yours he's not. We can agree to disagree…
Have a nice day*

have any evidence that Glenn Beck is a racist? Come on go for it. He is not. It is sick that you are smearing him like that.

Oh, but you see, he's a Reich-Winger, and Reich doesn't mean government in German, it means Nazi which does not mean National Socialist but Right-Wing…
Ah, liberal logic…

A World Lit Only by Godflesh (Photo Gallery): GODFLESH + Prurient at Venue, Vancouver (28 September 2015)
While the landscape of extreme music has evolved since Godflesh emerged from the post-industrial wasteland of Birmingham – the British answer to Detroit – in the 80s, the stark contrast between abstract, conceptual art and "rock" music is apparently much the same: middle-class concert-goers accustomed to a rich diet of mindless entertainment have little understanding or appreciation for the creative's drive to transgress boundaries and expectations; yet the pairing of a solo power electronics act like Dominick Fernow's Prurient with the influential and respected founders of industrial metal aka Godflesh is a reminder that extremity or innovation is the path by which new art achieves popular acceptance over time.
Whether or not the crowd at Venue on Monday night considered this, they applauded Fernow's extreme audio assault nevertheless. Delivered via distorted mic and a tabletop cluttered with electronics, screeching waves of distortion and feedback interspersed with melodic textures accompanied the performer's frenzy of convulsive movements across the stage. Although the solipsistic nihilism of power electronics is unlikely to gain any popular commercial appeal, Prurient's uncompromising sensory assault remains a welcome disruption of convention.
One might consider the industrial dub rhythms of Godflesh almost comfortable by comparison, as modern popular music has borrowed so much from extreme and "underground" influences over the years that a listener can parse virtually anything with an identifiable beat and rhythm; fortunately, having cultivated a unique aesthetic across his several musical projects (e.g. Techno Animal, Curse of the Golden Vampire, Greymachine, JK Flesh, etc.) vocalist/guitarist Justin Broadrick is something of a rhythm expert whose latest recording under the Godflesh moniker (along with bassist G.C. Green), A World Lit Only By Fire, demonstrates an austerity in songwriting that translates well to a live setting, crushing the listener under rolls of heaving bass and burning guitar textures with a keen sense of rhythm. Broadrick and Green, accompanied by sequenced laptop rhythms, performed a mix of new tracks and fan favourites (e.g. "Streetcleaner", "Spite"), closing with encore "Like Rats".
One hopes that the duo will continue to record as Godflesh, given the enthusiastic audience reception for their current North American tour (ending today in Pamona, CA.)

LAST UPDATED: May 8th, 2015
After my trip this past December to the Mathews Archery Retailer Show I was amazed at how innovative archery companies can be. With each passing season the new bowhunting and archery equipment that hits the market gets lighter, stronger and more versatile than ever before. Below are thirteen items from the show that I thought every diehard bowhunter would want to know about.
The 2012 Tight Spot Quiver shown here is lighter than previous models which will work perfectly with the new Mathews Helim The Tight Spot quiver attaches and detaches from your bow quickly and fits snugly against the riser of the bow, reportedly eliminating bow torque issues often caused by a bulky quiver.
Another item that caught my eye is a Mathews bow display called WeaponRax. This classy looking display holds one bow and a few arrows and turns your Mathews bow into a piece of artwork that you can display in your living room, den or dead animal room. The WeaponRax is available in black or oak. Many retailers were purchasing them at the show to show off Mathews bows in their retail stores.
Hot Shot Manufacturing's new Infinity release is available with a leather Lost Camo wrist strap. The Infinity features a "Lever-Link" trigger that replaces traditional roller bearings, creating a crisp shot and less trigger creep, resulting in tighter arrow groups. The extra-tough actuating mechanism features less friction than roller bearings so the release will work flawlessly for years without getting stiff or difficult to pull due to harsh weather or dirt from spending hours in the woods.
Carbon Express has long been considered a leader in arrow technology. Mathews is a leader in bow technology so it makes sense for these two industry leaders to team up. The Mathews Edition Carbon Express Maxima Hunter comes in Lost Camo and has the great features you are accustomed to from the Maxima Hunter including weight forward technology, Buff Tuff carbon weaving and the extra strong BullDog nock collar.
If you are a diehard turkey hunter, you will want to check out the Turkey Nightmare Lost Camo blind. This unique umbrella blind mounts to your bow and has a shooting window in the center of it. The umbrella blocks the turkey from seeing you draw your bow but the window allows you to see and aim at the turkey. One of the most difficult things about bowhunting turkeys is getting your bow drawn without being busted. This blind will make bowhunting turkeys much easier.
Pine Ridge Archery makes a variety of archery products. For 2012, they have all kinds of new products that come in Lost Camo and bright colors for all the archers who want their bow and everything on it to be color coordinated. Their new Nitro Stabilizer is available in Lost Camo. They have brightly colored wrist slings, peep sights, peep sight tubing and a variety of other products. For more information, visit www.pineridgearchery.com
American Leather Klassics has teamed up with Mathews to produce fine leather products. In this picture, you can see the Mathews leather belt. They also make Lost Camo picture frames, wallets and are even producing Lost Camo dog collars and leashes for your favorite dog. They offer a wide variety of Lost Camo leather products.
Invisible Hunter makes a variety of scent eliminating products including Invisible Hunter Fresh Earth spray. This product comes in a Mathews Lost Camo spray bottle. Invisible Hunter uses enzymes to destroy human odor, not just mask it like many odor eliminating sprays do. Almost all deer hunters use scent eliminating sprays of some kind; now you can try one based on science, not smoke and mirrors.
Schaffer Performance Archery has given the Opposition Arrow Rest a facelift. The new Opposition Lite is 20% lighter than the previous model, comes in Lost Camo and comes with unique technology like Glide Away jaws that pinch the arrow so your arrow can't come off the rest as you draw. A button on the rest allows you to lock your arrow into position before you draw or allow the jaws to lock the arrow in place as you draw. When you shoot your bow, the jaws glide to the right and left for total arrow clearance. The Opposition rest has been tested at 418 FPS!
Mathews Archery fans love to tell the world how proud they are to shoot a Mathews Bow. Camo Wraps make unique Lost Camo vehicle wraps and Mathews stickers that look great on almost anything. Their accessory wraps can be used on cameras, phones and anything you want to deck out in Lost Camo.
Blacks Creek Guide Gear makes great backpacks, duffle bags and bow cases. Here you can see the new Blacks Creek Helim bow case that looks almost as cool as the new Helim and protects your favorite bow from getting nicks or dings while traveling to your favorite hunting spot. Blacks Creek displayed some great new duffle bags at the Mathews Show that are perfect for the traveling hunter.
Grim Reaper Broadheads is offering the Mathews Edition mechanical broadhead. This razor-sharp killing machine has a gold feral that will look great flying out of your favorite Mathews bow. My favorite Grim Reaper Mathews head is a 3-blade head that offers a razor-cut tip and has a whopping 2-inch cutting diameter.
Axion Archery is offering some great products for 2012 including the new Zone drop away wrest and the GLT Triad Stabilizer that is very sleek and innovative and will look great on any Mathews bow that has the Grid Lock riser.

Strawson holds that our selves are much more short-lived than we normally take them to be, and that the subjective experience of the self does not require that it persist beyond the lived present, which lasts for less than a second. That may be good enough for sea-snails, one might think, but what about us? Here Strawson offers his most startling observation: he himself does not have the sense of subjective persistence that, I assume, most people have. It does not seem to him that the self which is the subject of his present experience existed in the past, or will exist in the future. When he remembers something from the inside, it does not come with the sense that it is he who was the subject of the remembered experience. He claims that this is true even when he feels embarrassed at the memory. 'The episode of consciousness is certainly apprehended from the inside, and so I take it for granted that it is mine, if I care to reflect: I take it for granted that it is an episode of consciousness of the human being that I am. But there is no sense, affective or otherwise, that it was consciousness on my* part.' (The asterisk indicates the use of 'my' to refer to the subject of present consciousness.) 'My past is mine* in the sense that it belongs to me*, but I don't feel that I* was there in the past.'Adventures in the specious present, from the LRB.

Tow truck Toronto
In some cases autos break down. In case you have not experienced a car split down on you, just wait around and inevitably it's going to happen. It's a certainty of existence simply because cars are complex and also the extra complicated a little something is, the more that could go erroneous with it. Having your vehicle break down is one thing we do not want to happen but when it does, we now have a savior during the method of a tow truck. Tow vehicles and towing solutions are our best pals when our cars split down.
toronto towing companies
Ordinarily, a tow truck will appear in four differing kinds:
one. A increase, although not used for towing ordinarily, is made use of any time a car or truck is in the ditch, culvert or fallen around an embankment. This is certainly applied whenever the tow truck can not back again securely in direction of the damaged down car or truck.
2. The hook and chain is yet another style used by several towing products and services. This loops spherical the vehicle's body to permit the car for being drawn aloft by a boom winch in which it will relaxation versus rubberized mats. This enables the car or truck being towed on a single axle. The condition with this is that they can scratch bumpers, lots of towing service companies are deciding upon various approaches.
three. The wheel-lift could be the successor to the hook and chain. This technologies works by using a considerable metallic yoke that matches on the front or back again wheels and locks around them. The tow truck then draws the vehicle up to ensure the car only rests on just one axle, generally the again 1. In case the auto is front-wheel push, the entrance wheels are lifted up. If it is rear-wheel travel, the rear wheels are lifted up.
4. Flat mattress tow trucks set the whole car to the back of your truck in order that it really is transported without the need to be towed. Relatively it really is carried clear of where it broke down.
The only real challenge using a towing support is the fact it can be high-priced. The farther you may have to get the vehicle into the store, the greater it is actually going to price. A very good idea is always to analysis towing corporations and also to retain a list of what businesses are in sure areas of the city, and exactly how substantially they charge per mile. That way you'll be able to look within the checklist if the car breaks down and choose the towing company business that is certainly closest for you. You are able to also do the exact same with mechanics so your car doesn't have to become towed far.
This tends to prevent loads of income in towing charges since most towing providers will charge a certain total for every mile to transport your auto. The farther you go, the greater you pay therefore you have not even commenced for getting your car fixed however!
Towing assistance organizations and their tow vehicles are a fantastic sight after we split down. After we require anyone to select us up and acquire our cars and trucks away, they supply an essential provider. Just do your investigate to avoid spending as well a lot.

Sometimes we think our thoughts are just there, immovable with no room for change. It is important as parents to teach your kids that they run their mind, and they can pick and choose their thoughts. You want to teach kids to choose thoughts that are productive vs. non productive.
Kids think non productive thoughts all the time and often believe their thoughts. But their thoughts, just like adults, can be negative and self defeating and we, as parents, need to know how to help kids change and manage non productive thoughts. Thinking stems from learning, and random energy that can often produce scary or negative thoughts. A child is afraid to sleep in her bed at night due to scary thoughts about monsters. A child may think someone is going to break into their house.
Sometimes a child is sad, and doesn't know how to leave that thought behind when they need to. Remember thoughts hook up to feelings, so if your thoughts are negative and self defeating your feelings will be upset, depressed etc. The art of thinking is such an important gift to offer your child because successful leaders are produced by the way that they think.
The best way to teach your child how to think productively is to do it yourself. If as a parent you make a mistake, are disappointed by an outcome, or want to change something in yourself, take a positive look at it. If you criticize yourself, or others, your children will learn how to do that as well. Remember, children live what they learn. They copy us as parents. We are their early mirrors. If your children have learned positive thinking from you, they will let you know. They will tell you that they love you, and that you are a good parent, Children are very wise. They can spot effective parenting when they see it.
For example, you can teach your children that the mind is capable of thinking anything, even things that are stupid, untrue about you and silly. You are the captain of your mind and decide what is a worthwhile thought that you want, and what is unwanted and therefore non productive. Ask yourself, "Who is driving the bus, your thoughts or you?" "You are" is the correct answer, and true answer. Teach your kids how to think positively and they will.
For example, Laura told herself how bad she was at team sports, and how no one would ever want her on the team. Her mom told her she was pretty good at soccer, but she denied it disregarding mom's remark as trying too hard. Mom continued praising her at some other things she tried, while Laura's mind forcefully rejected every compliment. Mom needed to stop and find a way to teach Laura how to talk to herself in a kinder, more productive way even if she wasn't the best player. Even if mom makes suggestions and Laura rejects them, she will still hear the positive message.
Remember, when kids are engaging in negative self talk, to listen to their feelings but explain to them how the mind works and what kind of thinking would advance them in their life rather than hinder them. This is how thinking can work for us or against us.
We need to show children the need to manage their thinking. If they don't, their crazy or non productive thoughts will manage them, and they will not experience freedom to be in the here and now, without trying to predict the future or dwelling on the past.
The other important thing in teaching productive thinking to kids is to teach them how words affect their mood. For example, if I say that I am so depressed I lost the game or that my friend was mean to me, I am lost in negativity. But if I use a word like disappointed, it has less power to depress me. If I say that I can't do something I am absolutely paralyzed, but if I say it may be tough and a challenge, but that I can do it, I am much more open to optimistic thoughts and behavior.
In conclusion, know that there is an art to thinking. You must help your children find ways to talk to themselves that gear them toward success, and coping with the many failures and mistakes that they will make along the way. Teach kids that when they choose their own thinking they rule their world.

MBT Shoes for Plantar Fasciitis – Podiatrist Recommended
Men are far more forgiving about the appearance of their footwear, but even MBT Shoes can make men pause with its distinct look. But, every guy I know who has actually put a pair on has been sold immediately on the fit and function. Men and women seem to love the comfort these shoes give them. I think it makes them feel good to suck every little bit of productivity out of even walking! They also feature on our best shoes for walking on concrete.
And there are enough very cool, hip looking styles so these shoes are a great match for the modern man and woman who loves an individual look.
Features – The first of the rocker bottom shoes, MBTs paved the way and set the mark very high for the competition. A thick, curved sole that is designed to simulate walking in the sand, these shoes have been called the "anti-shoe." These shoes are not made for high-impact activity.
Price – A wide range depending on style and retailer that goes from $100.00 to over $260.00. Expect to pay more for the most recent styles.
Size & Fit – True to size and width. Moderate arch support.
Company Details – MBT stands for "Masai Barefoot Technology," and the company believes that shoes should be designed according to the whole body, not just the foot. The result is a shoe that improves the overall health of the body, not just the foot.
Why Customers Love MBT – The main thing that people love about MBT shoes is that they deliver on the health and physical claims. Wearing MBTs can help with a range of foot related problems, such as plantar fasciitis and they are often recommended by podiatrists.
It is the actual shape of the MBT shoe that causes this – when your heel strikes the ground, it sinks into the curved back of the shoe and your body must balance. As your foot continues to roll over from the instep to the toe, with each movement, the balance of your body shifts – forcing your body to compensate
MBT Shoe Construction & Design
The key to MBT is its patented sole structure. The thick, multi-layered curved sole provides a "springy" base for you foot to rest in and walk on. The instability created by this shape simulates a natural walking surface. And the technologically advanced materials that go into the solid construction of this shoe make it durable and comfortable.
What You Need to Know about the Fit & Sizing of MBT Men's Shoes
MBT shoes are sized according to European standards, so it important to make sure that you have the correct conversion. And, instead of half sizes, MBT uses thirds. This is why buying your MBT shoes from knowledgeable retailer like is important. Here are the conversions for the most common males shoe sizes.
- US Men's 8 = MBT 41
- US Men's 8.5 = MBT 41 2/3
- US Men's 9 = MBT 42 1/3
- US Men's 9.5 = MBT 43
- US Men's 10 = MBT 43 2/3
- US Men's 10.5 = MBT 44 1/3
- US Men's 11 = MBT 45
- US Men's 11.5 = MBT 45 2/3
MBT also offers sizes as small as 5.5/6 and as large as 13.
Buying Men's MBT Shoes
Men may be more willing to sacrifice a little style but never price!! That's why I recommend that you guys make your first stop amazon.com It will also be your last. They wont to try to convince you to buy some pricey shoe you don't want.
Most retailers have a very small selection of Men's MBT shoes, but Amazon carry a large range of them (even discontinued styles).

Mango Pumpkin Soup
I'm a girlie girl. I can't look my food in the eye. I was even considering buying a barbie pink grill yesterday … and unless my foodie friends came over it would probably only see vegetables.

The book week continues with even more exciting things..!!
Students from grades 4 and 5 had a Skype conversation with Jorge Aguirre – author of 'Giants beware' and 'Dragons beware'. Both the books are graphic novels and meant for young children. He writes for animated shows being aired on TV as well. Jorge also spoke about his third book which hasn't been published yet.. (And we are not going to spill the beans here! You will hear about it very soon..)
We would like to thank Jorge for talking to us. The students asked him many questions about his work and his journey to become an author. They were amazed to know that he began writing when Jorge was in grade 5 and his teacher inspired him the most. The students are now looking forward to reading his books. They will then tweet or write to him about what they thought about them. Jorge has also kindly agreed to read some stories written by the students. What better way to inspire the students to become better readers and writers! Thanks again, Jorge!

We designed and fabricated a tungsten silicide wire-grid polarizer. To examine its polarization characteristics, the transmission spectra of the polarizer were simulated using the effective medium theory. The polarizer was fabricated based on the simulation results. The transverse magnetic (TM) polarization transmittance of the fabricated polarizer was greater than 50% over the wavelength, and the ratio of TM and transverse electric transmittance was greater than 100 () in the infrared range. This fabricated polarizer has higher durability and better compatibility with microfabrication processes than conventional infrared polarizers.

Horseshoe bat
Like most insect-eating bats — which use echolocation to catch their prey — horseshoe bats have a warped appearance that looks more like an ear than a face. This adaptation makes them more receptive to sound waves, which allows them to swiftly navigate through the air.
The bat gets its name from the shape of its "noseleaves," the fleshy structure surrounding the bat's nose. The upper part is pointed and the lower part is shaped like a horseshoe. The BBC explains that this complex fold of skin is used to send out echolocational calls and help focus the sound.
