The Bush Library at SMU: A Step Back Into History
On the outskirts of the Southern Methodist University (SMU) campus stands the President George W. Bush Library. If you're visiting SMU, or any of the area colleges in Dallas, Texas, consider adding this to your itinerary. It's like taking a step back into history and the library reminds everyone who visits the valuable freedom we have in this country.
In 2009, the President and his wife returned to Dallas, the home of his Presidential Library. It's not just a museum, it's an archival library where over 70 million pages of textual Presidential materials are housed. For the purposes of public viewing the library is a historical account of his Presidency.
Upon entering the foyer of the library, you are greeted with Freedom Hall, a moving 360-degree high definition video presentation that spans all four ceiling walls based around the freedoms we hold, the people that make this country what it is, and past Presidents. It's breathtaking.
The first room you enter you're greeted by a huge piece of metal from the World Trade Center. On the opposite wall is the list of names of everyone who died on September 11th. The news reports scroll on multiple televisions. You relive every moment of that day and the days to follow. You can also view world reactions from foreign leaders, average citizens and children. To see how this tragedy affected us at home and around the world was awe-inspiring.
While a large portion of the library is committed to September 11th, there are also other memorable aspects of his Presidency. You can view the inauguration gowns that Mrs. Bush wore; take a stroll through a replica of the oval office and step out into the rose garden. There is a baseball exhibit (President Bush used to be part owner of the Texas Rangers), and a mock critical situation room where you are given pertinent facts and asked to decide whether or not military action is mandated.
There are also alternating exhibits as well. When I visited, the portraits that President Bush painted after leaving office were on display. These portraits of foreign leaders were also accompanied by short explanations of how he painted them and how he envisioned them as he painted.
A visit to the Bush Library would not be complete without stopping by the gift shop on your way out or visiting the Presidential Center's Cafe 43, a full service restaurant with a seasonal menu.
For more photos and video of the Bush Library, you can visit this link: https://www.georgewbushlibrary.smu.edu/Photos-and-Videos.aspx

It's a new year and that usually means an influx of gym-newbies finding out the latest workout trends to get fit and healthy speedy. 2016 has been a good year for fitness trends, particularly for women so let's look at the top fitness trends of 2016, how they work and why they were so popular.
The All-in-One Fitness Watch
In the past year, the all-in-one fitness watches have become more popular and sales have increased tremendously. These watches have been in high demand due to their ability to record, enhance and measure your every move for specific activities. This has allowed everyone from fitness fanatics to gym beginners to be able to track their fitness progress with one easy piece of equipment. Fitness watches are great for helping you understand more about your workouts and keep you updated with your progress, motivating that little bit more.
As some fitness watches can be quite expensive, heart rate monitors can be a perfect altenrative, serving the same great functions for those wanting to track their progress. Heart rate monitors are a less expensive way of monitoring your heart rate throughout your workout to ensure you are working out in the most efficient way.
Back to Basics
Although some could argue that these never went out of style, 2016 saw the return and (popularity) of basic weight training movements. Classic body weight movements such as the pushup, sit-up and pull-up grew in popularity because of the ability to do these moves anywhere. Weighted moved such as the squat and deadlift also came bouncing back into everyone's workout plan for good reasons. These basic but effective workout moves are great full body exercises that can always be challenging. As compound exercises, these moves are great for increasing strength and size effectively.
High-Intensity-Interval-Training (HIIT) has soared in popularly in the last year. No longer is everyone obsessed with long steady-state cardio (although it still has great benefits!), people are more interested in quick 10, 15, 20 minute interval training that they can do alone or alongside other workouts. Why has it become more popular? Interval training allows you to do short bursts of intense moves from anywhere between 20-45 seconds and resting for 20-90 seconds. This form of cardio has been shown to increase cardiovascular efficiency quicker than other forms of cardio and means that people can do as little as 15-minute workouts a day! People performing HIIT workouts have also been shown to reap the rewards for as long as 48 hours after exercising! This is a great workout whether you're at the gym or at home, do classic moves like the burpee for home HIIT or get on a treadmill or exercise bike for a gym HIIT.
Functional Fitness
Another huge fitness trend of 2016 was functional fitness. In short, this means training for function such as improving strength, coordination and balance to improve fitness for activities in everyday life. These kind of movements work multiple parts of your body at the same time thus improving overall performance. This kind of training is very great for versatility and can incorporate a range of different moves so that workouts never get boring. Some great functional workout moves include a medicine ball squat with overhead lift, weighted push-ups and pull-ups.
Of course, there are many other fitness trends that made it into 2016 but these were some of the most popular we think they're great! Let's wait and see what 2017 has in store for fitness.
If you have any questions about the best equipment to use, our fitness experts will be more than happy to help.

Another day, another Kingdom Hearts game, and it still isn't Kingdom Hearts III unfortunately, but not to worry, the Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue is a HD remastering of the collection of the Kingdom Hearts series, which will be released this December on the PlayStation 4.
This remastered version includes Kingdom Hearts: Dream Drop Distance that was originally released on the Nintendo 3DS, alongside a short animated feature film set before the events of the entire trilogy, Kingdom Hearts 0.2 Birth By Sleep – A Fragmentary Passage and last but not least the HD movie Kingdom Hearts X [chi] Back Cover that tells the story of the Foretellers.
So don't worry, this is the final one before Kingdom Hearts III, but this trailer released for the remastered titles definitely hits right in the feels.
The game-play trailer seen above shows one of the original Keyblade wielders, Aqua, traversing fragmented bridges and battling her way against the Heartless with a teaser of another Birth By Sleep protagonist, Tera.
Square Enix Japan Studios' Senior Marketing Manager, Kaori Takasue wrote in a recent PlayStation blog post, "the brand-new storyline will provide players with a preview of the upcoming events of the highly anticipated Kingdom Hearts III.
Square Enix also announced that Kingdom Hearts Unchained χ is coming to mobile devices in Europe and it's going to be the first game in the series to come to Android and iOS. The title will focus on earlier parts of the series' history also reaching into events from Kingdom Hearts III.
At the end of the new trailer, Square Enix also confirmed that new announcements regarding Kingdom Hearts III will be announced, "this winter." So brace yourselves guys, because winter is coming and hopefully more news on KH3.

Environment friendly products are the ones which help the users to lead a more green life that helps them to save the energy resources. It is a general notion that sustainable and green products are boring and very expensive but it is really a notion with no truth involved. There are a number of eco friendly products that are not only very fun to use but very easy on the pocket as well. These sustainable and eco friendly products can be conveniently found and bought off the internet and they get delivered right at the doorstep. Eco friendly products can be utilized in offices, schools and homes and they are equally attractive and very useful as well plus they have an added advantage of being environment friendly.
Using sustainable and green products in the day to day life is beneficial to the user as well as to the environment which is facing a lot of threats now-a-days due to growing pollution and global warming. Therefore it becomes the responsibility of every individual to adopt the green and sustainable products and lead a greener life filled with happiness and good health. It is now time to jot down a list of five eco friendly things that can be used in the routine life and are easy to find as well.
List of five eco friendly things
- Paper straws: straws are used by everyone and kids really love them as drinking with straws is surely interesting. People generally buy the plastic straws for usage but that is not the cool thing to do as it is a much known fact that plastic is harmful for the environment therefore skip the plastic straws and choose the paper ones. These paper straws are no less interesting than the plastic ones and in fact they are better in every sense of the word. They are good looking, do the same job and they are biodegradable as they are made from paper. The users can pick from the various designs available like stripes, dots, and they can also get the plain ones.
- Grocery bags: these items are used by every one at some point or another and if they are green and eco friendly then there is nothing better. Environment friendly bags do the same job and they have many extra benefits that make them a better choice like they are economical, washable, and much more durable and they are free from any sort of harmful chemical.
- Lunchboxes: every kid carries a lunchbox to school and if the lunchbox is sustainable and eco friendly then it is good for the kid and the environment. These sustainable lunchboxes are equally useful and spacious and they also have these compartments to keep different kinds of snacks for the children. These containers are equipped with innovative looks plus they have no toxic materials as they are made from steel.
- Eco friendly dinnerware: dinner plates and cutlery is used in day to day life and now it is time that people start using eco friendly dinnerware in their routine lives. Green and sustainable dinnerware like plates and spoons are attractive and looks and they are disposable.
- Eco friendly cleaning products: cleaning products are required almost everyday in homes and using environment friendly cleaning tools is really a smart idea. These cleaning products are free from harmful dyes and they are also cent percent biodegradable. Using eco friendly and green products is a smart and effective option for everyone and there a lot of great options available in the market to choose from.

"Self-rolling of strained polymer bilayer films: A novel route to engineering of functional microcavities"
The talk is devoted to a remarkable micromechanics phenomenon observed for multilayer polymer films: self-rolling of the films in selective solvents. The rolling is due to bending moment, which is induced by unequal swelling of different layers of the film. A typical example of a self-rolling structure is a bilayer consisting of the top polystyrene (PS) and the bottom poly(4-vinyl pyridine) (P4VP) layers deposited on a solid substrate. Swelling of P4VP in acidic or alcohol solutions is opposed by the PS layer and results in curling of the film. The diameter of the arising polymer tubes can be controlled by thickness of the PS and P4VP layers, and varies between a few hundreds of nanometers and dozens of micrometers. The phenomenon provides unique possibilities for complex engineering of the inner surface of microcapillaries and tubular micro-particles. Before self-rolling, the future inner surface of a tube can be exposed to various procedures of surface functionalization like micro-contact printing, metal sputtering, photolithography, plasma treatment, etc. The engineered tubes can find advanced applications in many fields such as microfluidics, micro-electronics, optics, catalysis, etc.

text: If you all read my post entitled "My Early Years…Growing Up", I mentioned our family trips to our beach house in Sargent, Texas. This was during the era of the 1950's, 60's and part of the 70's. I'd like to share with you some details of the adventures that we had back in those "good old days". I was just reviewing some websites that are out there about Sargent and I encourage you to look them up. They will show you what Sargent looks like today. It was about a 3 hour drive from our house back in those days. We would pack our swim suits, sunscreen, hats and snacks, and we would take off for "the beach house". Continue reading
