LE BOURGET, France — The Boeing 787 Dreamliner isn't like the highly maneuverable, super-sleek planes demonstrating their skills at this week's Paris Air Show. It's big. It's heavy. And it's a passenger jet, after all. But that hasn't stopped Boeing from showing off its newest airplane to the assembled masses gathered at the Le Bourget airport.
Although the flights aren't as jaw-dropping as Boeing test pilot Tex Johnston's barrel roll in a 707 in Seattle back in 1955, it's still an impressive flight routine for an airliner. So how are they doing it? We asked the two pilots responsible for giving the aviation geeks on the ground a good show.
The flight displays over Le Bourget have long been a showcase for some of the newest and most technologically advanced aircraft from around the world. From Cold War fighter jets to the Concorde, the aviation industry has used the show as its main stage. But because the Le Bourget airport — where the show takes place — is sandwiched between downtown Paris, and the massive Charles de Gaulle airport, the airspace is rather restrictive and demonstration pilots are basically limited to the area directly above the airport.
For the highly maneuverable fighter jets such as the Russian Sukoi SU-35 and Dassault Rafale that are also on hand this week, making the tight turns with afterburners thundering is part of showing off their capabilities. Flying an airliner with a 197-foot wingspan designed for long, efficient travel is another story.
"It's not a fighter, but [the routine] shows off the airplane well," says Boeing test pilot Mike Bryan. The challenge for Bryan and 787 chief pilot Randy Neville is to be able to demonstrate the airliner in such a tight space. "It's really kind of hard to take a big airplane and keep it where you need to be," Bryan adds. "It's precise flying. It's not just going at it and trying something out. You're trying to hit very specific gates that allow you to fly very precisely."
We had a chance to talk with Bryan and Neville about the preparation that went into the routine they're flying over Le Bourget this week. The two are experienced test pilots, with backgrounds flying fighter jets. Bryan has previous experience flying in Paris as the demonstration pilot for the F-18 Super Hornet. Both pilots emphasized the precise nature of the airshow flying again and again. The flight display is something that took months to refine, beginning with more than 20 hours in a simulator where the exact route was first planned out, and several hours practicing the routine in a 787 over the Moses Lake airport in central Washington state.
"When we practice it over there, we overlay the [airshow] airspace, we draw it out over the Moses Lake airport and we stay within the same airspace we would in Paris," Neville explains.
During normal flight test operations they simply take off from the Moses Lake airport and climb to a higher altitude before criss-crossing the sparsely populated parts of the state while performing the various test points. For the Paris Air Show practice, Neville says it was very different, and something they had to carefully plan with the airport and coordinate with the other air traffic.
"You never leave the airfield boundary, you're flying over the other runways," the former F-22 Raptor test pilot says. "What it really emphasizes is how tight the pattern is. You're flying completely within the confines of a normal airport because you're constantly turning to maneuver inside of the [simulated Le Bourget] airspace."
To keep everything so close, the routine is flown closer to the 787's landing speed than to its cruise speed, with the flaps on the trailing edge of the wings in the down position. With the flaps downward, it can't be stressed as much during the routine.
"The airplane has a 2g limit," Neville says. "So you can't turn very hard in the airplane. And that directly relates to the turn radius." Neville and Bryan worked with flight test engineer Shawn Richardson to design a routine that would meet the space requirements, but still show off both the performance and look of the airplane.
"We want to show some of the key features of the airplane that make it unique in the industry," Neville says. "That includes looking at the plan form of the airplane, whether it's steep climbs or steep turns, and we want to show the wings when you get that nose-on view, and to me that's kind of the signature feature."
In the end the team came up with a routine that includes a dramatic, steep take-off and a series of turns of up to 60 degrees of bank that at 2g's does a good job of flexing the composite wings showing off their unusually deep curve. It took more than 50 practice routines in the ground based simulator, and they flew 17 more routines in Moses Lake with Boeing photographers on the ground to help with the aesthetics of the flight from a crowd perspective.
During the roughly seven-and-a-half minute show performance, the Dreamliner crosses show center four times. The altitude ranges from just 500 feet above the ground to around 1,500 feet, keeping it well within sight of the crowd. And unlike the extremely loud Sukoi SU-35 fighter jet — which easily takes the prize as the most impressive flight display this week thanks to its thrust vectoring — the 787 is almost silent. Any sound it makes is drowned out by an Airbus A400 military transport that sits closer to the crowd, idling on the taxiway awaiting its turn to fly (that's what you hear in the video).
Both pilots admit flying in the show is fun. While any 787 can make the same maneuvers, Mike Bryan says it is a rare chance to actually link them together like this and so close to the ground.
"Whenever we fly a production, flight test, or experimental flight, we're trying to fly precisely accurate — to do it right," Bryan says. "We could pitch up, drop the gear, go to idle, turn around in one mile and land if you know what you're doing. But we wouldn't do that, that's not the purpose of that kind of flying. Now we have a chance to show the plane has that kind of performance, and it's actually fun to do."Go Back to Top. Skip To: Start of Article.

Here are some of the most important benefits and deal-breakers you should consider.
In addition to competitive compensation, healthcare and 401K I've found that the best automotive professionals are commonly looking for:
If your dealership offers these perks, make sure you highlight them when interviewing candidates. If you do not, consider whether some additional benefits can help you land the big fish that you're looking to add to your team!
Often, the best professionals are already happily employed elsewhere. They might entertain a job opportunity, but will need some motivation to make the move to a new job.
When you make an offer, consider these factors:
Even if a candidate is interested in working for you, sub-par benefits can be deal breakers.
If you want to stand out among automotive dealers in your area, consider offering less common benefits, like:
When you're looking to attract top-level job candidates, offering outstanding benefits can be a great way to set your dealership apart from the others and land a big fish.

Release Date: 08/30/2016
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) today announced the 2015 performance year results for the Medicare Shared Savings Program and the Pioneer Accountable Care Organization Model that show physicians, hospitals and health care providers participating in Accountable Care Organizations continue to make significant improvements in the quality of care for Medicare beneficiaries, while achieving cost savings.
In 2015, Medicare Accountable Care Organizations had combined total program savings of $466 million, which includes all Accountable Care Organizations' experiences, for 392 Medicare Shared Savings Program participants and 12 Pioneer Accountable Care Organization Model participants. The results show that more Accountable Care Organizations shared savings in 2015 compared to 2014, and those with more experience tend to perform better over time.
Medicare ACOs are groups of doctors, hospitals, and other health care providers, who come together voluntarily to provide coordinated high quality care to their Medicare patients. The goal of coordinated care is to ensure that patients, especially the chronically ill, get the right care at the right time, while avoiding unnecessary duplication of services and preventing medical errors. When an ACO exceeds quality and financial thresholds – demonstrating achievement of high-quality care and wiser spending of health care dollars – it is able to share in the savings generated for Medicare.
In addition to those ACOs that shared savings, some ACOs had assigned beneficiary expenditures that were either greater than or less than their updated benchmark, but that fell within their minimum savings rate corridor. This means that they did not earn a performance payment.
"Thanks to our comprehensive Complex Care Management program – which includes nurse care managers, nurse practitioners, social workers, and more – and Integra's strong network of primary care practices and specialists, we provided more than 13,000 Medicare patients high quality, coordinated care and achieved a significant savings in our very first year of operation," said Integra Chief Clinical Officer James E. Fanale, MD.
"On total spending of more than $152 million, we achieved a savings just short of $4 million," added Fanale. "This is a truly significant accomplishment and bodes well for the future of Integra, our partners, and the payment reform efforts in Rhode Island in which Integra participates."
"At the same time we reduced spending compared to the benchmark, we made great strides strengthening the quality of care being delivered by providers across Integra," said Albert Puerini, MD, president and CEO of RI Primary Care Physicians Corporation (RIPCPC), and Chairman of the Board of Integra Community Care Network, LLC. "We are at or above the national average in most areas, scoring higher than the than national average in 22 out of the 34 measures."

Comic Book Bin: The Writer's Strike: The End is Nigh!
BREAKING: The Writer's Strike is Officially Over!
Writer's Strike Officially Over!
Writers confirm strike end
from the Comic Book Bin:
The second season of Heroes is apparently finished. Any new episodes put into production will air as part of the third season beginning this fall. As the show is built around longer story arcs similar to the contemporary layout of comic books, to put only a couple of episodes into production would probably not add to the overall experience of the show.
The current season of Lost just began airing not that long ago, but with only the eight episodes produced before the strike. Executive Producer Damon Lindelof is hesitant about how many episodes can be produced and still aired without extending the show far into summer. A tentative plan of creating five episodes has been discussed, bringing the total of the current season's episodes up to thirteen of the initial pre-strike plan of sixteen.
24: Possibly the worst off for all of the shows affected by the Writer's Strike. 24 will likely stay off the air until a mid-season start beginning in January 2009, creating a year and a half gap between episodes. Being unable to have a complete 24 episode season would ruin the concept of the show and cause a story to end mid-season.
OT: I must say that I will be VERY HAPPY to see the writers return to "The" Daily Show. I didn't realize how much they actually contributed to the show. The fight between Stewart/ Colbert/ O'Brien was funny but I want that quick witted take on news back.

From the words of writer, professor, activist and all around concerned citizen of Brooklyn: Ben Shepard:
What: Park Slope Neighbors' Bike Ride and Walk in Support of the new Prospect Park West bike lanes and pedestrian safety improvements
When: 8AM, Thursday, October 21st
Where: Meet up at Grand Army Plaza
RSVP and share event info here: transalt.org/events/calendar/4856
This Thursday a small group of Prospect Park West residents will be gathering to speak out against the new, safer Prospect Park West design. Specifically, they will be protesting the two-way protected bike lane and pedestrian improvements. We know – how can anyone be against improved safety for children, families and park users? We are confident that the supporters of the new and safer Prospect Park West far outnumber those that oppose it. Join Park Slope Neighbors and hundreds of Brooklyn residents at a rally to show this support.
What: Bike Ride and Walk Prospect Park West safety improvements
When: 8AM, Thursday, October 21st
Where: Meet up at Grand Army Plaza
Why is the new Prospect Park West important?
It improves safety – Before and after speed surveys show that the new design reduced average speeds by 25%, increased compliance with the speed limit five-fold and reduced the proportion of cars speeding 40 mph or faster from 30% to just 1.4%. This is a result of replacing one of Prospect Park West's travel lanes with a protected, two-way bike path and pedestrian refuge islands.
The community asked for it – The new Prospect Park West was born out of community concern with unsafe driving and speeding on the corridor. The project's development and implementation has been supported consistently over several years by Community Board 6, local elected officials, civic organizations and thousands of Park Slope residents and users of Prospect Park. Let's not let a small group of people who are unhappy with change and unbothered by speeding tell a different–and false—story.
If you care about streets designed for people and safe biking and walking join us for a demonstration of support for the Prospect Park West redesign. Whether you are on foot or on a bike, join us! We will travel along Prospect Park West together to Carroll Street, and greet the protestors there with smiles and signs of support. It will be an early morning but you can expect to be done and headed to work by 9am.
Spread the word to your friends and neighbors who care about people-friendly streets and believe that the new Prospect Park West design is working better for everyone. Please send around this link to our RSVP page and help us to show that New Yorkers care about safety: transalt.org/events/calendar/4856

Beijing is using railway lines for freight transport in urban areas to reduce truck emissions and ease traffic.
A 50-car train carrying 3,200 tonnes of gravel arrived at a freight station in Dahongmen in Fengtai District Tuesday afternoon, marking inauguration of the project.
The gravel, delivered from Tangshan City in neighboring Hebei Province, was sent to a contractor as construction material, said Zhang Jinchao, deputy general manager with the Jingtie Logistics, an affiliated company of China Railway Beijing Group.
Zhang said daily frequency would be increased to 10 trains, which means 1,000 heavy trucks will be saved from running on the road every day.
"Containers were adopted during the transport, which not only reduced dust pollution during loading and unloading, but also increased loading efficiency," Zhang said.
He said the trains would be used to carry iron and steel, construction material, as well as life supplies.
Beijing is known for its traffic jams and air pollution, with vehicles, especially heavy trucks, a major contributor of air pollutants.

What Makes a Business Blog Stand Out?
Right now, thousands of companies are using corporate blogging as a means of reaching out to new customers. This means that the field is incredibly crowded and getting more so every day.
How do you get your blog to stand out from the crowd? It can be complicated at times, but there are several techniques that you can use to make sure that your blog gets noticed and that you beat your competitors.
1. Put a Name and a Face On Your Blog
Don't make the mistake of anonymous blogging. Many businesses owners make this mistake because they are not willing to put their employees or themselves out in the public eye.
The result is a static blog that is boring and unpersonable. You will need to give a name, even if it is just your first name if you want your blog to be successful.
A picture is also useful, but if you don't feel comfortable with that, you're going to have to use your personality to create that picture in the minds of your readers.
2. Blog About The Right Topics
The blogs that get read find a way to mix current events in with their regular company news. The more topics you cover, the better your chances are of being discovered.
Read through your competitor's blogs and see what they are doing. Find out how you can do it better. It's ok to have a few posts on your blog that may not be directly related to what you do.
This helps build up your readership. However, it is important to find some way to relate every post you make to your company or your industry. Otherwise, your readers could get confused.
3. Allow Your Readers to Comment
It can be pretty scary to open up your blog to comments from your readers. However, this is a risk that pays off by allowing your readers to feel as though they are a part of what you are doing.
If you do allow comments, it is alright to moderate them to avoid having a disaster occur, but you should allow some freedom of discussion.
Many businesses make the mistake of talking at their readers instead of talking to them. By using comments, you can avoid this common mistake and ensure that your readers will feel that they matter to you.
4. Have Fun
The most common problem that all corporate bloggers face is that their industry may be a bit boring. There is a way to have fun with your posts, stay relevant to your topic and stay professional.
If your blog makes you snore, what is it doing to your readers. Change it up every now and again and keep it lighthearted.
In order to avoid many of these pitfalls, it is a good idea to work with someone that is familiar with blog management. You'll be able to get the benefit of their expertise and they can help you leverage your blog for success.

|Pepper, Jeanne, me
If you're headed to the conference this year, what's still yet to do on your to-do list? (we won't even get into mine...) If you're not going to the ACFW Conference (maybe this is the first time you've heard about it) I encourage you to look into it. It's one of the best Christian conferences around for immersing yourself on a national level with great teachers, industry professionals and hundreds of other writers in various stages of publication who all understand the "voices" in our heads.
Have you requested your agent and/or editor picks? What are they looking for? I know I still need to get my first chapter ready. More and more this is becoming the go-to request of all agents/editors. Make sure to have those first few pages polished right up and read up on which one is currently looking for/requesting and what they expect from you when you sit down across from them.
Have you finished your one sheets yet? Angie did mine, and it was worth every single penny!! Goodness, for someone (me) who has no artistic eye, I will definitely be calling on her designer skills again. One more thing off the list without the headache!
Written that pitch yet? You'll need: an elevator pitch (could double as your story question if written correctly too) and a slightly longer pitch for those moments around the lunch table or the agent appointments. Then of course make sure you have a shorter paragraph in the back of your mind should more questions be asked of you for deeper content. It seems like a lot, but just takes the time in the actually writing of it. SLEW of great posts on writing your perfect pitch. I know I'll be perusing them more!
|Katie Ganshert, Rosslyn Elliott, me, Becky Wade
Do you have your learning attitude? I know this will be true for 90% of all the conference attendees. But I personally saw where this truly helped my pitch in front of an agent, who specifically wanted more of my story, not only because she liked the story, but also because she saw I was willing to learn. Agents and editors are looking for writers who are not married to their words and are willing to take some constructive criticism.
Maybe it's just me who is OCD, but it's great to have a schedule for all your classes, appointments and where you might be volunteering. I know this year, I've got a finger in a lot of pots, so keeping everything straight is going to be something else. But don't be afraid to ditch the class to chat with a new friend or a mentor. It's invaluable and some of my best gifts from God. I get excited just thinking about. :)
Go with a spirit of prayer. A spirit for God to move and work. He's brought YOU all this way to a national Christian writer's conference. You've invested no small amount of money. Now stand back and watch God work. Watch what He brings across your path. Discovery is half the joy and most of the excitement, even if you don't see it all right away.
Have the roomies? Packed the cookies? (Carol M. ;-)) Got the travel plans all set? Bought the gala dress/suit? Picked a good book for the plane/car drive? You're set.
And hey! Come find me and save a hug! I want to meet ALL the people I can! I'll be the one with the name tag that reads "resident Alley Cat". :-))
What are your best conference tips??

This paper considers spatial autoregressive panel data models and extends their analysis to the case where the spatial coefficients differ across the spatial units. It derives conditions under which the spatial coefficients are identified and develops a quasi maximum likelihood (QML) estimation procedure. Under certain regularity conditions, it is shown that the QML estimators of individual spatial coefficients are consistent and asymptotically normally distributed when both the time and cross section dimensions of the panel are large. It derives the asymptotic covariance matrix of the QML estimators allowing for the possibility of non-Gaussian error processes. Small sample properties of the proposed estimators are investigated by Monte Carlo simulations for Gaussian and non-Gaussian errors, and with spatial weight matrices of differing degree of sparseness. The simulation results are in line with the paper's key theoretical findings and show that the QML estimators have satisfactory small sample properties for panels with moderate time dimensions and irrespective of the number of cross section units in the panel, under certain sparsity conditions on the spatial weight matrix.
J.E.L classification codes: C21, C23
Keywords:Spatial panel data models, Heterogeneous spatial lag coefficients, Identification, Quasi maximum likelihood (QML) estimators, Non-Gaussian errors

Tribes: Ascend Moves to Open Beta, Adding Arena Gametype, New Maps
After handing out beta keys like they were candy over the past few months, Hi-Rez Studios announced today that Tribes: Ascend is finally coming out of its closed beta status this week. As of this Friday, February 24, anyone will be able to download and play the game after creating an account on the Tribes: Ascend website. As Hi-Rez has mentioned before, all progression achieved in the closed beta will carry over into the open beta and the official launch.
To go along with the open beta announcement, Tribes: Ascend is getting a substantial update that should appease new players and veterans alike. Check out some of the major highlights:
- A new gametype called Arena has been added, which features five-on-five matches fought on small, hazardous maps. Each team has 25 lives and competes in a last-man-standing showdown. Two maps are available initially: Air Arena and Lava Arena.
- Two new maps have been added: Temple Ruins (CTF) and Inferno (TDM).
- Two new unlockable items have been added on the Soldier class: Proximity Grenade and Utility Pack.
- Servers have been added in Asia and Brazil.
- Players can now pay gold to change their in-game name.
- The end-of-match UI has been given a significant overhaul.
As expected, there are also a load of bug fixes and balance tweaks listed in the full patch notes. The patch was applied today, so servers should be up by the time you're reading this. With an influx of new players and a slew of exciting updates, I bet you can guess what I'll be playing this weekend!
5 Responses to Tribes: Ascend Moves to Open Beta, Adding Arena Gametype, New Maps
Pay gold to change your name?
Oh wow…I really thought us PC players were safe from that rubbish :(
If only they'd lose those rifles/pistols. =(
They should make a spinfusor gametype only.
I don't know what you see in it, but I guess MW3 isn't for everyone. Enjoy your weekend Brandon.
This post reeks of sarcasm :P

MEZZANINE & BEAUTIFUL BUZZZ Present
+ Worthy, Walker & Royce, & Gary Paradise
9PM // 21+ with Valid ID
Born in Australia as Danny Chien, Wax Motif's unique production style and mixing skills have kept this rising producer in high demand. Continually wowing fans and industry insiders, his production efforts have drawn critical acclaim and support from the likes of Diplo / Major Lazer, A-trak, RL Grime, GTA, Oliver Heldens, Jauz, Knife Party, Tommy Trash and more.
Wax Motif has become a pioneer for the G-House movement, working with Destructo for his album on Interscope with the likes of Ty Dolla Sign, YG, Yung Thug, Problem, Kurupt and Warren G. His DJ sets already incorporate this style heavily into his mixing, and 2015 will see a lot of original productions in this vibe.
To pigeonhole Wax Motif's music would be disingenuous, however. His influences range from R&B, to disco and UK bass, and his diversity in the studio has attracted the attention of everyone from Mau5trap to OWSLA. His debut EP for Mad Decent, True Joy, is a reflection of this multi-genre approach, albeit with a G-house focus.
No stranger to the festival circuit, Wax has played EDC Las Vegas, New York & Mexico, HARD Summer & Day of the Dead, Holy Ship, Stereosonic and Splendour in the Grass to name a few. Wax has released tracks and remixes through A-trak's Fool's Gold, Skrillex's OWSLA, and Steve Aoki's Dim Mak Records, a compilation on legendary label Strictly Rhythm as well as a host of remixes for the likes of YG, Kid Ink, Chromeo, Deadmau5, Warren G's "Regulate" and more.

Re^4: The Bad, the Ugly, and the Good of autovivificationby tlm (Prior)

|Need Help??
Well, I'm beginning to repeat myself, so this will be my last attempt. The post from the start was a comment on how the standard sources of Perl documentation give short shrift to the issue of autovivification-related bugs, and that this is something that should be corrected (either that, or change the way Perl autovivifies to eliminate the most common of these bugs). The Perl documentation would be perfectly accurate, but much less useful, if it limited itself to describing how things work without ever mentioning pitfalls. You conveniently give the example of open: well, the Perl docs are rife with admonitions against failing to check the return value of open. There should be similar warnings about autovivification bugs. At the very least they deserve an entry in perltrap, and a pointer to this entry in perlref, and even also in perlreftut

About HATCH
HATCH is a performing arts incubator program based at the Frankston Arts Centre that supports artists and creatives to increase their knowledge, gain relevant skills, develop networks and be guided by an array of Australia's best arts industry professionals.
HATCH will inspire, facilitate and guide emerging theatre makers through a series of master classes on Storming an Idea, Grant Writing, Directing, Producing and Creative Writing. The master classes are delivered in partnership with Melbourne Theatre Company's NEON program.
It offers the professional development of artists while cementing their craft and pathway into the creative industries whilst enabling them to create independent theatre works.
The project will be delivered over two years, and it commenced in April 2017 with the masterclass series. In 2018, HATCH will now evolve into a more intensive mentor program. The second stage of the project will also provide selected participants with rehearsal and development space at Frankston Arts Centre, professional advice, plus the opportunity to be linked with established artists and companies that align with the creative aspirations via a mentor arrangement.
2018 Hatch Participants
In 2018, the FAC will proudly work alongside four female artists to assist in developing their artistic work and provide mentoring opportunities.
Hayley Lawson – Smith and Debra Thomas are working collaboratively as scriptwriters to create two new original works. These works will be developed throughout the year and have a showing at the FAC in November.
Brigitte Jarvis and Ru Atma are long time collaborators and form RAWCollective, a contemporary company, dedicated to creating innovative and immersive work. Throughout the year Brigitte and Ru will create and produce a performance installation piece combining film and physical performance.
All of our artists will showcase their work in November, which will be an opportunity for all our patrons to come and experience some new and exciting work.
Reserve your seat for the viewing of the HATCH works in development on Thursday 22 November.
Script Readings of Rare & Chimera

We look forward to sharing the journey of all of our HATCH participants with you throughout the year. We congratulate Hayley, Debra, Brigitte and Ru on this awesome achievement and we look forward to working alongside these artists through their journey in 2018 and beyond.
The HATCH program is supported by Creative Victoria and Frankston City Council.

I love practical, beautiful things, especially hats. I also love knitting, and how wool is transformed to a thick, durable fabric by the process of felting.
Lynn's Lids are hand knit and felted, making them thick, warm, durable, and wind and water resistant. Sheepy Dryer Balls are adorable and practical fibre art, reducing dryer time for years to come.
All of my products are hand made by me in Canada, with 100% wool. I ship via Canada Post anywhere in the world.
This blog was created to keep folks up to date on what I'm creating these days, where I'm teaching, and where to find Lynn's Lids in the Toronto area.

Momentum Youth, Maple Community Church
Oji is in Grade 11 and is part of Momentum Youth at Maple Community Church, which supports the Bangladesh feeding program. We asked him some questions and received some great answers!
Why is this cause important?
It's about helping a group of people that don't have consistent access to what we see as basic. Food. Put yourself in their shoes.
How did it make you feel to be a part of a project like this?
For me it was just important to focus on the kids I'd be helping rather than how I was feeling. But afterwards, fulfillment.
What was it like for YOU to have a key role in the leading and planning of this fundraiser?
When you actually have a say in how things go you're more invested in its success. Actually being part of the process makes you care just a little bit more.
Why did YOU want to do this?
I felt and still feel that it was a way to use the things I'm good at, my talents, to affect other people's lives positively, in a way that only I could.
Why should teenagers get involved in endeavours like this?
A lot of the time we're focused on our own reality, and making sense of it. There's nothing wrong with that, and finding yourself is important, do your thing. But the fact is that there's a whole world going on that most of us are aware of but not conscious about. I feel like doing something like this helps you get out of your head and focus on a greater purpose. It's a blessing on both sides.
Thanks, Oji!

LEJOG season has arrived! This time last March I hoped I would count myself among those setting off in 2015 on a very long walk but alas it's not to be. However I will be taking a sabbatical in 2016 and am already looking forward to setting off on another adventure. In the meantime I will satisfy my wanderlust by following others as they set off on their own long walks.
It's at this point that I usually list a handful of blogs that we can all enjoy following. The problem is they are rather thin on the ground this year. I can't find any despite having spent quite some time searching the net for walkers with LEJOG or JOGLE blogs. My links page includes two blogging walkers who may complete their journeys in 2015 but if you know of any End-to-End blogs, or other long-distance walks that may be of interest, please contact me or leave a comment. Thank you in advance.

MANILA, Philippines – The National Democratic Front of the Philippines (NDFP) Chief Political Consultant Jose Maria Sison said on Monday, that the administration of President Rodrigo Duterte "looks ridiculous" by staging fake surrenders of New People's Army (NPA) fighters and their supporters.
The Armed Forces of the Philippines had repeatedly released reports claiming thousands of NPA combatants and supporters had continuously surrendered to them in the wake of the foiled peace talks between the government and the NDFP.
In a statement, Sison reiterated that these reports are mere "propaganda."
"Duterte and his military minions claim that they are getting surrenderers not only from the NPA but also from the people´s militia, the underground mass organizations, the self-defense units and the organs of political power," he said.
"They continue to make the absurd claim that thousands of NPA fighters and their supporters are poised to surrender and disappear soon because they are bored with or tired of fighting oppression and exploitation and are eager to enjoy the new paradise that Duterte has brought about in the Philippines," he added.
But the NDFP consultant, and founder of the Communist Party of the Philippines, said this drive to produce fake surrenderers had perpetrated violations of civil and political rights by Duterte and the military.
"Barangay officials are being persuaded or coerced to call people to meetings. Those attending are made to sign attendance sheets, at the back of which is the text of surrender. They are photographed and videographed and misrepresented as taking the oath of surrender and renewing their allegiance to the neocolonial republic," he said.
The Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP) Information Bureau had already issued exposés of the increasing number of fake surrenders and murders of revolutionary suspects in various regions.
Sison said the revolutionary forces and people are strengthening their ranks and sharpening their methods for frustrating and defeating their enemy in his dastardly scheme to commit mass murders.
"They draw lessons from a long and rich history of revolutionary resistance. All previous campaign plans of the reactionary government have tried to terrorize the people with the abduction, torture and murder of revolutionary suspects and social activists," he said.
Sison also said Duterte is "daydreaming" if he thinks he can entice the NPA commanders and fighters to go home and thus break up the NPA with his offer of money, housing and skills training.
"Revolutionaries do not join the revolution to get handouts from their enemy.. And they are perfectly well at home with the people in the guerrilla fronts to which they are assigned," he said.
Sison likewise renewed his call for Duterte to reconsider his termination of the peace negotiations with the NDFP, "if he truly wants to have a just and lasting peace in the Philippines."
"Through the peace negotiations, the necessary social, economic and political reforms can be negotiated and agreed upon by the GRP and the NDFP," he said.
Late last year, Duterte signed a proclamation declaring the CPP and NPA as terrorist organizations following the foiled peace talks with the NDFP in November 2017. (davaotoday.com)

"Glee" star Jane Lynch to "Muppet" movie? Not so fast!
By Sean O'Connell
Hollywoodnews.com: Sue Sylvester might not be shouting down Fozzie's jokes or whipping Miss Piggy into shape.
That's because "Glee" superstar Jane Lynch has denied the rumors that she'll participate in the Muppet movie, currently in production at Walt Disney Pictures.
"I'm not doing the Muppets movie. They haven't asked me," Lynch told THR, later adding, "I would do it if they asked me."
So there's time to work something out. But for now, Lynch will not be joining "Muppets" star Jason Segel and his puppet pals. However, even without Lynch, the movie has star power. According to reports, Paul Rudd will voice a new Muppet character named Walter. Segel will star alongside Amy Adams. Danny Trejo and Donald Glover ("Community") will cameo. And many, many stars are rumored to appear, including Chris Cooper, Rashida Jones, Jack Black and Zach Galifianakis.
And that's not even counting Kermit, Piggy, Gonzo and the gang.
"The Muppets" will return to theaters in 2011.

안녕, how are you guys doing these days?
I've been feeling very out of sorts lately. Uncertain about my life, sick of school, and to be honest, quite sick of life in general. I feel like I have no accomplishments, no skills, no talents, and very little chance of succeeding at anything I want to do. I'm sure you also have these kinds of phases, but honestly I've been feeling this for the past couple of years. It was when I discovered my love for Korea that my motivation started to rekindle, but lately any hope of that changing my life has been once again dwindling. I can't connect with people either. It feels like there are no people out there that really understand me, nor do I come across anyone I even feel like I could relate to on a deeper level.
So…lately I've been writing in my Korean journal a lot. My partner reading it has been asking me what it is that's been bothering me, but to be honest, I don't think he could really understand the extent of how I feel judging by his English ability at this point. To be fair, I can't understand anything deep he says in Korean, so I think we're even in that respect. He's also having a bit of a hard time here in America, and I feel like I'm drifting further and further away from him, which is kind of breaking my heart, but by the way he's been acting lately, there's frankly not much I can do about it.
So to continue my soulful, sad streak, here's another entry in my Korean journal:
요즘은 난 정말 피곤하고 지쳤다. 정말 피공하고 지쳤는데…그래서 일기를 더 쓰고 싶은 것 같다. 늘 혼자 있고 싶다. 혼자서 조용하게 실고 싶다. 친구를 만나는 것도 불편해졌다. 요즘은 난 이곳 저곳 방황하는 것 같다. 위마가 없이, 목적이 없이, 의욕까지 없이 살고 있다. 자주 과거를 생각한다. 과거의 핸복한 순간들을 샣각한다. 예전에 완벽하지 않았어도 적어도 행복한 순간 있은 것 같다. 요즘은 사는 낙이 하나도 없다.
Mistakes are inevitable. Please forgive me ~
Since I don't have inspiration much these days to write a lot about Korea and Korean learning, feel free to ask me questions in the comments here. Also, some people have been emailing me questions about Korea, and sorry I haven't exactly gotten back to all of you. Some of your questions have been a bit difficult and out of my range of knowledge, so I'm still slowly working on them. Hope all is well ~
Sorry I haven't been updating!
Lately I've been so busy with schoolwork and to be honest, I've been really preoccupied with Tumblr. Just looking at my blog, you can see how much I've been reblogging. I'm quite obsessed with Tumblr right now, and with the debut of SM's new boy group EXO, which I'm slightly head over heels for atm, there's no way you could pull me from Tumblr right now.
But I wanted to give you guys a bit of an update on my Korean learning. Since February, I've been meeting up with a Korean language buddy. He's really nice but it's still hard to actually practice Korean with him, given my poor speaking skills. However, last week I decided to do something I had once done with a language exchange partner in Korea. The idea is for both you and your buddy to get a journal, to write in it daily, and then exchange it when you meet, and have the buddy correct your grammar. It gives me a bit more responsibility to work on my Korean on a daily basis, so I think it's a good thing. And he's a native Korean speaker (and I'm a native English speaker), so it's good for both of us. Some of the sentences he's written are quite cute and funny (for me, he referred to me as "my Julie," which at once amused and touched me, but I know he didn't mean it in that way ^^).
I decided to do something random today and write a letter in my journal called "A breakup letter to my lover" because I've been watching this new drama Twelve Men in a Year and it's inspired me to write about that. Here it is below, and I'm pretty sure the grammar is not totally right, and if you want, you're free to correct me before my partner does in the comments below!
내 애인한테 헤어지자는 편지
안녕, 잘 지냈지?
우린 언제 부터 서러 알고 있었니?
3년 되었어.
우린 얼마나 행복했는 줄 알아?
그런데 네가 다 버렸어. 왜?
네가 왜 그런 식으로 날 다루는 건지?
이제 그만하자. 헤어지자.
마음대로 생각해. 난 상관 없거든.
날 걱정하지마. 내가 널 가장 필요한 순간때 네가 없었거든. 왜? 시간이 없을만큼 바빴건지?
넌 날 진심으로 사랑했어? 제발 나 좀 그만 웃겨.
난 예전처럼 널 사랑하지 않아서 다행이다.
그렇니까 날 좀 내버려둬. 제발. 부탁해.
에제 너의 마지막 기회다.
이기회가 놓치지마.
난 더 이상 찬을 수가 없을 테니까…
날 보내줘.
What did you think? If you read the entire thing, then props to you! I honestly had no idea what I was writing, and I did have to check my Korean expressions dictionary from time to time. Do you want a translation? If yes, then reply in the comments below. Remember, don't take this as Korean studying help because I'm not sure about the grammatical correctness of it. It's just my own personal writing exercise hehe.
On the lines of the drama, I really do recommend you watch Twelve Men in a Year (also called Twelve Signs of Love, but that's the "American" translation). I see a lot of you came to my blog looking for a review of the drama I Need Romance, and although I don't think Twelve Men in a Year is quite as good as I Need Romance, I think it definitely somewhat fills the gap in my heart that I Need Romance left. You can watch Twelve Men in a Year on Hulu if you live in the United States, but there are other links to it as well: Epdrama and KimchiDrama. Have fun!
Hello everyone!
Since I started this blog back in August, it's been about eight months of me blogging about Korea and its beautiful language, people, culture, etc. And thank you lovely people for visiting my site, whether through references or just randomly stumbling upon it from Google search. I'm truly grateful.
Since I'm not longer in Korea right now, I haven't been able to update the blog regularly with experiences and stories from Korea – because I'm no longer there. However, I've met a lot of people with equal amounts of enthusiasm for the language and culture, and I just wanted to plug them a bit.
If you're looking for a network of friends to study Korean with you, go to Self Study Korean. The site is run by a bunch of really awesome people from all walks of life with one thing in common – their love for the beautiful language that is Korean. I've been frequenting it because not only does it help me in my journey to mastering Korean, there's a feeling of community and belonging on the site.
If you're looking for a Korean pen pal, go to Interpals. You can pick what language you want to be your target language, and you can make friends who you can share languages with. I think the website is fairly safe, and I haven't heard any creepo stories from it, so I think you will be okay trying to find friends on it.
If you're looking for a westerner's perspective on Korean culture, go to Noonablog. Paula, the writer behind Noonablog, has been living in Seoul for the past couple of years, and she has a lot of insight into Korean culture. She's also into fashion, so a lot of her posts are about fashion (happy for me ^^), and I've met her personally (she's awesome), so I promise you you won't be bored by her blog!
If you're looking for a good website for authentic Korean merchandise, go to G Market. This website is one of Korean's largest e-markets, and it has everything, from clothes to cosmetics to food to furniture. The prices are decent, and they have worldwide shipping. I haven't personally bought from the website, but I have friends who have, and I've heard no complaints. If nothing else, the endless pages of cute clothes (and the guys' clothing section has a lot of cute models ^^) should keep you occupied.
Right now, I'm a little out of ideas, but if you think of any other good resources for Korean-related things, let me know! And also, if you want me to blog about anything in particular, feedback is always appreciated <3
Hello everyone!
I've decided to start a new series called Korean Survival Skills, for those of you who may be so brave to travel to Korea without proficiency in Korean. In Korea, it's quite necessary to know how to speak the language to get anything done, but if you're feeling feisty, read my guide and hopefully you'll be able to order successfully! Let me know how it goes!
Caution: I'm not a fluent speaker by any means. These are just the basics I've learned through experience. If I mess up the grammar or phrasing, please let me know and I will fix it. The romanization isn't the standard way to romanize, but I made it so that it sounds most logical to English-speaking ears.
[At your arrival]
Waiter: 몇분이세요? (myot bun i seyo) [How many people are there?]
You: 한(두/셋/넷/다섯/여섯/일곱/여덜/아홉/열) 분이에요 (han/du/set/net/tahsot/yeosot/ilgop/ahop/yeol – bun i eyo) [One/two/three/four/five/six/seven/eight/nine/ten people]
Waiter: 이쪽으로 오세요. (I jjokero ohseyo) [Come this way]
(Calling over the waiter) You: 저기요! (cho ggi yo) [Excuse me (lit. over there)]
Waiter: 뭘 주문하시겠어요? (mwol chumunhashigessoyo) [What would you like to order?]
Here you have several options.
If you're ordering something with numbers, you can say –
# 번 (하고 # 번) 주세요 (# bon hago # bon chuseyo) [Please give me number # and number #)
And the #'s – 일 (il/one), 이 (i/two), 삼 (sam/three), 사 (sah, four), 오 (oh, five), 육 (yu, six), 칠 (chil, seven), 팔 (pal, eight), 구 (ku, nine), 십 (ship, ten), 십일 (shibil, eleven), 십이 (shibi, twelve), 십삼 (shibsam, thirteen)….
And if you're not ordering with numbers, just replace the # signs with the name of the food.
If you're ordering BBQ, the way they sell meat is in the servings per person. So if you have four+ people, you're supposed to order four+ servings, but some places you can get away with ordering two or three, if you're lucky.
You: 불고기 사인분 주세요 (pulgogi sa in bun chuseyo) [Four servings of bulgogi, please]
불고기 is really popular, but you can replace it with 갈비(kalbi) or 삼겹살 (samgyopsal).
Three orders of meat: 삼인분 (sam in bun)
Five orders: 오인분(oh in bun)
[During the meal]
If you want more water – 여기 물 좀 더 주세요 (yoggi muul jom doh chuseyo)
If you want some hand wipes – 물수건 좀 주세요 (muul sugohn chuseyo)
If you want to order more food – (name of food) 하나 더 주세요 ( _____ hana doh chuseyo)
[At the end of the meal]
If you want the bill – 계산서 주실래요? (kyesanso jushillaeyo?)
OR 지금 계산할게요 (chigeum kyesan halkaeyo) [We'll take the bill now]
If there's anything I missed that you would like to know, let me know in the comments and I'll add it! Again, if there are any mistakes, please let me know!
More like a life stump. I've started school again, and I don't know if I'm glad I'm a bit more busy now or a bit annoyed I generally have less time to study Korean.
The weird thing is that there are actually a lot of Koreans in my school, but they always travel in packs, and I don't have any classes with them (I'm a Media major, I mean, maybe I should just change my major again to Business or something =____=), so it's awkward to try to make friends with them. – End pointless interjection –
I've more or less readjusted to life back at home, sad to say, a life removed from excitement and intrigue :( Another random rant – I'm planning on going to the SM Global Audition in two weeks at NYC, so if any of you guys reading right now are planning on going as well, please let me know so that we can meet up! It would be good to have mutual support ^^ Instead of singing, I'm actually considering doing a monologue…I'm going to be so nervous omg lol
Anyway, my main point in typing this post today is to talk about a source I think is kind of awesome for helping learn Korean. And the source of the day is – K-pop Lyric Videos! The ones I'm talking about are the ones with hangul, romanization, and English translation, like so:
This is the first k-pop song I ever loved, back when I first discovered k-pop in the summer of 2009. I was a hardcore E.LF, seriously. I had "It's You" on repeat for forever. The lyrics are actually surprisingly easy, using relatively easy vocabulary and grammar. I can understand 95% of it without the English translation, which makes me almost proud of myself. If I had started learning Korean back when I first discovered k-pop, just think of how good my Korean would be now…oh well, no point dwelling in the past.
But this Youtube user is really amazing – I'm not sure if it's a girl or guy but I will assume it's a girl – all of her videos have really pretty and mellow backgrounds to accompany the songs, so the video isn't distracting. I have all of her songs on my 'Watch Later' list, so I just have it on the background while it plays the whole list, so whenever I'm inspired to read the lyrics, I can. It makes learning Korean less daunting and more fun!
Time to end (almost) pointless rant of the day!
Last week, my new semester started, so I've been kind of busy. I still try to study a bit of Korean everyday, and I think I'm improving a bit, but it's still hard trying to understand natural Korean dialogue. Yesterday I found this interview of Kevin from U-Kiss conducted in English and Korean, and it was a good exercise trying to understand his and the interviewer's Korean, because both of their native tongues are English (so their Korean is a bit slower than native Korean speakers'). I still can't understand everything, but I think and intermediate level Korean learner would be able to understand most of it. Means I still have a long way's to go!
Tomorrow I'm going to a Korean Language Exchange meet up, so hopefully it will be good and I'll be able to practice my Korean. I really haven't been able to practice speaking Korean to people lately, since I no longer live in Korea. Lately, I've been speaking Korean to my dog when I walk him, because it feels better than talking to no one at all, but he doesn't understand anyway, so I don't feel inhibited from speaking Korean wrong.
Next week I'm finally starting my Korean language class! It's not at my university; it's at a separate institution, it's 10 weeks, twice a week, and we'll be working off the textbook Integrated Korean Beginner 2. I looked through the book a bit, and I know a bunch of it, but I think it will be good review to reinforce the grammar and vocabulary I've learned in the past couple of months. I'll update you guys on how it goes ~
Hope your Korean learning is going well!
P.S. I've been spending most of my online time on Tumblr. If you have tumblr, follow me!
여러분 나는 지금 한국어 열심히 공부하고 있는지 알죠? 맨날 맨날 한국어 공부하는 게 노력해 본데 가끔씩 너무 피곤하거나 싫어서 안 해요. 그게 안 좋잖아, 근데 난 이미 진짜 열심히 공부하고 있어요. 이제 그만 영어로 쓸게요!
Woot, that was hard! As for a translation of my previous Korean (I don't think all of it was grammatically correct, but anyway):
Everyone, you know how hard I'm studying Korean now, right? Everyday, I try to study Korean but sometimes I'm too tired or I don't want to, so I don't. This isn't good, but I'm already working really hard. Now I'm going to write in English!
Haha wow that was really sad Korean-writing skills. I can't really come up with anything better for now, but I'm going to write more Korean in my entries, so I can practice. If you spot the grammar mistakes, feel free to correct me (because otherwise I probably would never know!). I'm going to come up with a new topic every time I have a writing exercise in Korean now…perhaps you can give me some suggestions for topics!
Until next time :) Happy studying Korean!

I knew when I started this project that there would be some challenges. Learning the LSAT is and will continue to be difficult. The law school application process, if the LSAT goes well enough, will be difficult. Actually doing law school if both those things go well will be a challenge probably like none I have had to tackle before.
One challenge I anticipated but didn't fully realize the weight of is studying at home with two kids. I do most of my studying in the evenings when my husband is home to watch the kids. I have an office in our basement with a table and a folding chair and I sit down here and wade through my book slowly but surely. My husband and kids play upstairs or in the playroom in our basement.
I knew there would be some issues with the noise of the children playing and getting upset, but I didn't realize just how unable I am to tune those out. I don't know if that's a natural maternal thing or if it's just my anxious and nosy nature, but it is what it is. I cannot seem to concentrate well enough here, and trying to concentrate on learning to tune out certain sounds while trying to concentrate on trying to learn difficult material is just too much for me.
We live less than two blocks from the public library and I'd love to go there every night, but my husband doesn't get home until 5 and we're not done with dinner until after 6. The library closes at 6 Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday, so on those days, studying must be done at home. I know I get less done and have to repeat things far more when this is the case.
Monday and Wednesday they're open until 8, but for most of winter it's just way too cold to walk outside (since the library is so close, driving is ridiculous) after dark unless there's no alternative. It's just not worth the pain of the cold hurting any exposed skin. Now that it's starting to get nicer out, the library is a real option for me and I'm excited to see how much more quickly I'll learn when I can focus for longer periods of time and am not distracted by constant unintentional scanning for sounds of distress.
So, while the studying is going well and I definitely feel like I'm doing better and learning something, it's going slower than I thought. Spring will be great for my LSAT score, which is something I did not anticipate.
I should also mention that there is no way I could do this without my husband to take care of the kids while I study, especially with the risk that it may all be for nothing (if the LSAT does not go well enough). He's totally supportive of my efforts and does whatever needs to be done to help me try to meet my goals. This is why my studying only occurs from the time he gets home until the kids go to bed. The time between the kids going to bed and us going to bed (~8p-1030p) is reserved for us to spend time together. Not only is this something we enjoy, we have learned in nearly a decade together (with over four years of that time long-distance) that it is something we need, both as a couple and individuals.
With all these restrictions and conditions this is starting to sound like one of those awful logic "games," but I think it's worth the work to make it work. More than anything, now that I've sat down to think it all out, I am grateful to be in a situation where I can even take on these challenges. To be able to devote this time and energy to studying and trying to pursue a career while being a mother to two small children and working (extremely) part-time is a privilege I do not intend to abuse.

While there are countless people that have positive experiences when taking psychedelics, there are undoubtedly some that don't. A "bad trip" can be an extremely frightening experience and is one that can cause anxiety, depression, fear, and confusion. Bad times with a psychedelic experience can have effects lasting for days or weeks afterwards.
Despite the difficulties some people experience when taking psychedelics, many of them still believe there was a benefit to them. A difficult experience on psychedelics can open one's mind to the emotional and mental issues within that require the most attention. And, as many people know, growth is often found through difficult experiences.
What Others Have Learned Through Difficulty
A study conducted by Johns Hopkins University was published in September 2016 and gathered the results from 1,993 people discussing their most challenging experiences from taking psilocybin mushrooms. The people involved in this study all had experience taking mushrooms in the past and all went in feeling positive about what they were going to experience. They all considered the social, physical, and emotional environment was one that would be favorable for a "good trip".
What happened, however, was something very different than what most expected. Half of the participants in the study said the experience was one of the top five worst of their life. What they said about what they learned from the incident, though, was actually quite positive. Of the half of the group that had a negative experience, 84 percent said they had benefited from it. There were also 46 percent that said they would want to do it again, challenging parts included.
Also highlighted within this study was the fact that the longer the experience lasted, the more difficult it was. What's more is the most difficult experiences proved to be the most meaningful. This emphasizes the ideology that difficult experiences actually have a lot to teach us and are saturated with meaning. The discomfort found in a challenging psychedelic experiences is essential for personal growth–and usually reflects personally issues rooted deep within the individual.
Is Difficulty an Essential Part of Healing?
When psychedelics are used as a means of healing, the difficulty one experiences can be viewed as an essential part of the healing process. Learning from, rather than criticizing, these "negative" experiences can truly be a catalyst for change on the deepest of fundamental levels. Because a difficult experience on psychedelics can open one's eyes to the mental and emotional walls they have built around themselves, it essentially becomes easier to identify what they are and finally move past them.
Even though challenging psychedelic experiences can promote healing, they aren't something that should be encouraged. Psychedelic substances are extremely powerful and something that should be taken with respect for what they do. While there haven't been many studies that look at the difficult experiences psychedelics can invoke, it's worthwhile to note that the setting which psychedelics are taken in, as well as the support one receives during the experience, make the biggest impact.
Entering a psychedelic experience with a positive mindset and social support has shown to reduce the likelihood of a negative occurrence. This isn't to say that everyone who goes in with a positive attitude is going to have a positive experience. What is found in a psychedelic experience is going to be completely unique to the individual involved. There have been plenty of people who take psychedelics with a positive frame of mind that end up experiencing negativity.
What Does a Negative Psychedelic Experience Teach Us?
While a negative experience isn't what most people desire when they take psychedelics, it has been known to happen to even the most experienced users. What can we learn from a negative incident while taking these substances? Many think that psychedelics are here to give you exactly what you need for personal growth. And many of these substances go deep within the psyche to open up a person on the deepest of psychological levels. What they find there isn't always what they're expecting, but can offer some of the greatest tools for personal growth and healing.
It is the fundamental levels of human consciousness buried deep within one's subconscious mind that hold the keys to healing. Just as traditional therapy can be difficult, healing with psychedelics can prove to be the same. And while a difficult psychedelic experience can be one of the most terrifying and trying experiences of one's life, it could just hold the key to profound growth and change.
Taking a difficult trip, even in the right setting like a medical Ibogaine clinic, can be a learning experience if you want it to be. This can offer insight to these challenges and shed light on what lies deep within the soul that longs to be set free.

Each Wednesday I will be linking up with Rebecca from Becca Blogs it Out to share my health and fitness progress with you and have a chat about all things wellbeing through Wellbeing Wonders. We'd love you to join in! You can find the link at the bottom of this post and you can connect with us using the hashtag #WellbeingWonders. We look forward to connecting with you!
You can catch up on last week's post here.
As I continue to work on improving my health and reducing my weight, I want to try new ways to exercise. I am in no way interested in going to the gym and while I might attempt running again when my fitness is better, it is not my friend right now. At home workouts are my favourite. They allow me to stay in my comfort zone and I don't have to worry about how I look sweating away.
Trying boxing
Last year I bought my better half a punch bag and boxing gloves for valentines day…the most romantic gift I know. He has been out to use it once since he hung it up in the garage, but otherwise the poor thing has just been left there. It seems like such a wasted opportunity so for the first time this week we decided we would give it a go and do a workout together.
I thought it might be quite a nice light workout, which we would do for about an hour and then come in and chill out in front of the TV before bed.
I was wrong.
We were out in the garage for no more than 15 minutes and I was absolutely shattered! I loved it though, we both did. Sorry to overshare, but I was dripping in sweat by the end of it and had to jump straight in the shower. My arms and legs are aching today as I type this. Normally I would complain about this, but I'm so happy. It means that the exercise had an impact on my body and woke up some muscles that I had clearly forgotten about it.
The workout we did was nothing fancy. Just a small circuit of five different moves. I'm not going to attempt to explain what they are because I don't know any boxing terminology, but I managed to add in some squats too and now I can't walk up the stairs like a normal person.
We'll definitely be making this a weekly workout, so I'm going to take a look at some more videos to see how I can improve on my form and technique. I'm really excited to see what progress I can make. The look of my arms in particular tend to bother me, so this could be the perfect solution. I'll keep you updated!

This series is a unique attempt at combining online information with a print book. I like the story and the mysterious/adventurous clues. I personally was not interested in doing all of the online stuff, so the accompanying cards were useless to me. I think kids will probably really get into the story and the online adventures. It was pretty fun, even if I had most of the surprises already figured out.

Here's Your Best Look at the Upcoming adidas Yeezy Boost 750
Also confirmed on Kim Kardashian's Snapchat.
We've gone quite some time without seeing any new releases of the adidas Yeezy Boost 750. After teasers of new colorways, we can finally expect a revisit of the grey silhouette. This time around, we're seeing monochrome laces, and a glow-in-the-dark sole. A release date has not yet been confirmed, however, according to Kim Kardashian's Snapchat, which you can see below, it looks as though there is a large inventory – most likely for family and friends. More updates to come so stay tuned.

The 1st International training course was held in Ústí nad Labem, Czech Republic, from the 28th January to the 1st February 2013. 25 teachers from 8 different countries participated in the training course.
The international training course was aiming to attract primary teachers who were interested to learn more about teaching science in the upper grades of the elementary school.
The 2nd International training course was held in Crete, Greece, from the 1st of July to the 5th of July 2013. 35 teachers from 9 different countries participated in the training course.
The second international training was mostly intended to address inquiry-based learning in science education (IBSE) with younger primary students, aged 3 to 7. The training commenced with a general introduction to the Pri-Sci-Net Project, followed by a discussion on the meaning of IBSE in the context of primary level education.
The 3rd International Training Course was held in Salzburg, Austria from the 17th of February to the 20th of February 2014. 30 teachers from 12 different European countries participated in the training course.
The training course opened with a welcome speech by the Austrian Ministry of Education. Then, the Pri-Sci-Net project coordinator, Prof. Suzanne Gatt, welcomed the participants and shared the vision of the project for inquiry-based learning in primary education. The training course involved a series of workshops and presentations about IBSE contributed by project partners.
As the end of the project nears, the partners are working hard to bring together three years of work of endlessly promoting inquiry-based learning in science across Europe.
The work of the partners and teachers, will be celebrated in the second international conference which is to be held in Malta 16-18th July 2014 at the Old University Building in Valletta. During these days, we will have two keynotes from the partnership, as well as a number of young researchers who have researched inquiry-based learning in science at primary level.

From 2013-06-01 to 2016-05-31
The Chain Reaction project aims to capitalize on a previously successful approach to delivering IBSE in the UK in an attempt to embed IBSE practice within European schools.
The key aim is to equip teacher educators to train teachers across twelve countries in the use of IBSE materials and techniques. Each country adapts materials and techniques for use in their own country, addressing issues of different curricula and cultures as necessary.

Like many people, I first read F.A. Hayek in college, and it has been a while since I read through "Serfdom" from cover to cover. As with any controversial book, it is sometimes hard to read it for only what it says, rather than what it means. However, having studied it again, I am reminded once more of why it is such an important work.
We live in a time when the state seems to have been granted powers that were unimaginable even a few decades ago. Populations that once used to define themselves as "free" and bristled at the idea that government had a role in their private lives, have — out of fear, economic insecurity or both — surrendered their birthright of freedom to the state. In the U.S., a people whose fundamental self-image/mythos was one of anti-government rebels and self-reliant pioneers, have passively allowed their government to listen to their every word and to take from them those liberties for which so many patriots fought and died. I bring this point up because that scenario, more political than economic, is, I think, what Hayek was really warning us about. As he himself says, "Serfdom" is a "political" book, and it is a political — equal and yet distinct from economic — serfdom that he fears.
The book itself has too many lines that would be apropos today, but some spring to mind because of the specific circumstances of our time and place:
"…what we know as Western civilization — are the respect for the individual man qua man, that is, the recognition of his own views and tastes as superior in his own sphere, however narrowly that may be circumscribed, and the belief that it is desirable that men should develop their own individual gifts and bents" (p.68).
"While it is true, of course, that inventions have given us tremendous power, it is absurd to to suggest that we must use this power to destroy our most precious inheritance: liberty" (p.97).
"While people submit to suffering which may hit anyone, they will not so easily submit to suffering which is the result of the decision of authority. It may be bad just to be a cog in an impersonal machine; but it is infinitely worse if we can lo longer leave it, if we are tied to our place and to the superiors who have been chosen for us" (p. 128)
"Individualism is thus an attitude of humility before this social process and of tolerance to other opinions and is the exact opposite of that intellectual hubris which is at the root of the demand for comprehensive direction of the social process" (p.180).
It's this last thought that most caught my attention in this re-reading: that a collectivist outlook is an arrogant one and that it fails to pay respect to the power of the individual person's abilities to order his life as he sees fit. It seems that today too many of us, tired of war and fearful of unknown enemies, find it easy to give up liberty to a state that promises to take our freedoms in return for our welfare. That seems a fair trade to many, I guess, but perhaps another read through Hayek would remind us all that the road to serfdom starts willingly, trading autonomy for security. That is an easy road to take. It is the return voyage from serfdom that is almost impossible to make.

Cash Advance
Cash Advance Service
A cash advance can help anyone who is looking for a fast way to get cash. There are no regulations and restrictions on what you can spend your money on. You are able to purchase groceries, pay off debt, spend money on yourself, etc. The decision is yours to choose. As long as you have the money you need for whatever reason you need it for. Newark Payday Loan Services offers many financial programs that can help you pay off debt. This includes a cash advance, payday loan, auto loan check cashing services and more. With no hidden fees or gimmicks, our services are offered to everyone. All you have to do is apply from any location that has internet access. Once you complete the application, you are approved! Yes, you are instantly approved. No questions asked and no long forms to be filled out. It could not be easier than that.
Let Newark Payday Loan Services help you with your financial situation. There are no reasons why you should fight your finances alone. Instead, partner up with Newark Payday Loan Services for assistance. Our cash advance and payday loan services have helped many people in their time of need. Let us do the same for you and your financial situation. All you have to do is apply and you are approved. No long wait times for a response on if you are approved or not. Instead, you will receive an email confirmation congratulating you on your new cash advance loan. Start today by applying online.
Alternative For Cash Advance
Save your moneyThis sounds more difficult than what it really is. Every time you get paid, take money out and put it aside. There is a saying, out of sight, out of mind. Put this money where you will not be tempted to spend it. Before you know it, your extra money you saved will add up to a large amount. This is great to save for emergency money, vacations, pay off debt, etc. However, it will only work if you are dedicated to saving money. The goal is to take it out and save it. Not spend it.
Set a realistic financial planThe best idea is to make a monthly spending planner. Log down everything you pay during the period of a month. This would include electricity, cable, water, rent/mortgage, etc. You can visually see the amount of money you actually spend a month. If you know that you are behind on bills, work out a payment schedule that will remind you when monies are due. This will help you to keep track of your due dates. Being realistic takes time and effort. You cannot change your financial habits over night. If you are a big shopper, try to cut back on things you love to buy. Instead, purchase groceries or something that will benefit you in the long run.
Work on your credit scoreFinancial associates will always advise you to work on your credit score. The higher the number your score is, the more trustworthy you will appear to be. Financial centers check your credit history to see if you are reliable in paying your bills on time. That way, if you are applying for a loan, the lender can trust they will receive their money when it's due. You will also be able to borrow and be approved for nicer and larger priced items with a higher credit score. That is because, financially, you are trustworthy.
Get a small loanWhile working on your credit, you can obtain a small loan. Small loans can range from a few hundred dollars up to a few thousand dollars. It all depends upon your credit. The requirements and regulations are different from a cash advance or payday loan. Since you are dealing with a bank lender or credit union lender, you will have a longer payment period to repay the borrowed funds. There will also be different rules if you are late making a payment. There could be bigger fees and it will also go on to your credit report as a late payment. These are things to go over when you are wanting to get a small loan. Be sure to ask all the questions you can think of before signing any contracts.
Overdraft protectionThere are services that are offered by your bank or credit union that can help people who spend more money than what is in their account. If you have a habit of spending money without checking your account, this may be good for you. It will give you a cushion when you go over. For instance, a normal account will charge you many fees if you go over your account. With overdraft protection, you may be charged only one fee, per time. Unlike other places that will charge you a fee for every purchase you made. There are a few other options you may be offered. You could also link your checking account with a savings account or to a credit card. That way, you will never spend more money than what is in your accounts. It will pull the money from your linked account to cover the charges you spent.
There are many ways you can get a cash advance. Newark Payday Loan Services make it easy to get the money you need. Especially when you need it the most. It is always hard to ask for money from anyone. Whether it is friends, family or even a neighbor. That is why we do not refuse anyone. You can apply at any time and from anywhere. There is no worry about being approved or denied. Everyone is instantly approved for all our services provided. Even a cash advance. Apply today!
