Ten performances that arouse admiration, awe, and respect on a global level.
The year before the Olympics always seems to produce fast swimming. Our top ten list of the most impressive swims of 2015 includes performances set in all three pool courses by both Olympic Veterans and some rising stars from around the world! Each of the swims we've selected are very impressive and were chosen to be on this list because they uniquely arouse admiration, awe, and respect on a global level.
At the USA Swimming Short Course Jr. Nationals, Hoffer swam a 41.23 in just 28 strokes! He's now the 4th fastest performer in history only behind Vlad Morozov, Cesar Cielo and Nathan Adrian. Not bad company to be in as a junior in High School. The next question is: Can he do it long course?
Missy the Missile Franklin did not disappoint in her final college swim meet! At this year's NCAA Championships she proved just how outstanding she can be in the 200 with a jaw dropping time that is a new U.S Open Record and will go down as one of the most impressive NCAA records in the books.
At the U.S. Summer Nationals, Michael Phelps proved why he's the greatest swimmer of all time. His times in the 100m and 200m butterfly are the fastest times in the world since 2009. From his enthusiastic celebration after those swims, you can tell that this is just a preview of what we'll see in Rio!
Mitch who? Larkin made huge strides this year in the 100m and 200m backstroke. His barrier breaking and world record swim at the Australian Championships showed the world that he's a force to be reckoned with in both backstroke events.
Just weeks after Mitch Larkin broke the 200m backstroke world record, Matt Grevers of the United States answered back at the Duel in the Pool! Grevers breaks a world record that was set in 2009 by Olympic teammate Nick Thoman.
After winning Gold at the World Championships in Kazan, Gregorio Paltrinieri re-affirmed his place at the top of the distance podium with an outstanding swim in the 1,500 freestyle at the European championships. His 14:08.06 broke distance legend Grant Hackett's 14 year world record!
In 2015, the fastest female butterflier in the world is Sara Sjostrom. This year she broke the World Record in both the 50m and 100m butterfly in commanding fashion. She has a lot of speed, and will be the front runner for Gold in 2016.
The Iron Lady had a dominating year! In addition to winning the FINA World Cup Circuit, she took down arguably one of the most impressive world records from the 2009 World Championships in Kazan. Her performances this year are certainly an early indicator of the success she'll have in 2016.
The most impressive male performance of 2015 goes to Adam Peaty for his jaw-dropping swim at the British Championships. You have to scratch your head and think back when a World Record was lowered by more than half a second in a race just 100m in length. Adam Peaty set a new standard for breaststrokers to strive for.
Katie Ledecky is arguably the most impressive female athlete on the planet regardless of sport. This summer at the World Championships in Kazan, she won 5 gold medals and swept nearly every freestyle event including the: 200, 400, 800, and 1,500 – her range of speed is incredible. In the 1,500, she broke the world record twice, once in the preliminary heats, and again in the championship final. Katie Ledecky had the most dominating performances of 2015! What will she do in 2016?
We've included 5 more swims as impressive Honorable Mentions! What swims would you add to this list? What races are you most looking forward to in 2016?


The Life of a Chrissy | Me!! Mom, Life, Wife, Yoga, Food, Art!
I have dealt with acne ever since puberty. When I was in high school I used Proactiv and was on birth control pills so that worked for the most part. After high school I continued Proactiv off and on. Then I had a baby.
After I had my daughter and was deciding I didn't want another child, I had to decide on some sort of birth control. Being younger and not caring too much about doing research, I went with the Mirena IUD. I had been on the pill before and I gained weight so I didn't want to do that again. Also with the IUD you don't have to worry about anything, usually. And, usually, no periods. Sign me up.
Flash forward a bit, things are going well, but I have acne problems. So I tried using Proactiv again with little change. I also had a pretty set regimen of face washing and products. Nothing was really working.
When I lived in Florida and it was super humid, my acne super flared up! It was the type of acne that lives super deep under your skin. Sometimes it would never really progress to anything, just a huge red ball that would hurt like hell. I assumed it was the humidity because after a couple years, we moved to dry Arizona and my face cleared up. When I say clear up, I mean I didn't have acne every single day, but I still had acne. Living in Arizona was also when I started to eat clean. I assumed my face would clear up but it did not. So I started doing research.
I found that the places I was getting acne, along my chin and neck, was caused by hormones. One doctor told me it could be the IUD. Another said that was a "soft claim" that couldn't really be proven. So I kind of brushed it off.
Then I moved to Virginia and it super flared up again. At this point I am eating super clean and am thinking it must be something external. So for the past 2 years I have been using the kind of laundry detergent that has nothing in it. No chemicals and smells. But alas, the acne never cleared up.
Last summer, I was nearing the time when my second IUD was about my "expire" and my husband and I were going to have to make some choices. We knew we were done having kids so one of us was going to have to go under the knife because I made the decision to not have a third IUD. Part of this decision was because I finally did some research and found out things about the IUD that I wish I would have known years ago. I am not going to go into all of that, I'll let you do that on your own. Anyway, long story short, I am au natural now. No IUD, no artificial hormones. Annnnnnnnddddd…..no acne.
WHAT?!?!?! Trust me, I didn't believe it either. But I have photo evidence. Below is my face several different times throughout the last 2 years. This is what I dealt with most of the time, not just before and during my period.
And here I am yesterday, just out of the shower, face nice and clean and clear.
This is so crazy to me. After 10 years of struggle, it was the dang IUD the whole time.
Here's what I do with my face now. First, I don't use soap on my face. I just wash it with warm water and exfoliate with a wash cloth two or three times a week. I use coconut oil on my face and a dab of lotion. I put the oil all over but the lotion I just put on my cheeks because this winter weather is making my cheeks really dry.
Like so many of my posts, this is quick post about me. I am eager to see how much better my face starts to get once ALLLLL the hormones are gone and I'm just normal.
You may be totally different, but if you decide to get an IUD, do some research first. Some of the bad may out-weigh the good. And not just in the acne department.
Happy Friday, everyone! Since my last post a lot has changed. Let's start with Frenchie.
She was our hen that was broody, a.k.a got baby fever. Well, her attempt at motherhood failed. It could have been a number of things. It could have been that the garage was too cool. It could have been the fact that only 2 of the 5 eggs were actually fertilized. Or it could have just been how nature intended. She sat diligently on those eggs but in the end, 1 burst, 2 got stinky, the other 2 never hatched, and she ended up abandoning the nest. The good thing is that she was welcomed back into the flock just fine. And she got over the broodiness even though she never actually hatched any eggs.
And now Hagrid is broody!! I have read that it can be contagious. I don't know if that is the case here because Frenchie wasn't around the other birds, but in any case, Hagrid is trying her hand at motherhood now. But this time we are not going to move her. We are going to let her do her thing in the coop and hope for the best. She still comes out in the morning to eat and dust bathe, and then goes back and sits on her potential babies. She has 3 eggs, 1 is hers and the other 2 were laid the day after she turned broody, so I put them under her.
We think she'll be a great mama so hopefully nature works in our favor this time.
And Carl. He is still such a purdy bird!!
I didn't realize until just now that the last post also included a snake. Funny, this one will also include a new snake story.
I'm becoming quite the serpent master around here. And I have to do most of this on my own because my husband is constantly gone for work. Side note, he thinks it's hot that I can handle this kind of stuff on my own, LOL! Especially because he will admit, he is not "wildery" and doesn't care for snakes or spiders. Anyway, I was out to dinner with friends and came home around 10pm. I went to the coop to close it up and count the birds. I counted all 8 birds and 1 non-bird.
I wasn't quite panicking, but I wasn't very calm either. The main thing was that I was alone, it was dark, and I only have so many hands. I managed to get the snake towards outside the coop, but then I kind of stopped because one, I didn't have my boots on, it was dark, and I didn't have a real idea of what I was going to do after I got him out. I kept scooting him around with the rake and then he slithered out of the door towards outside. Again, no real shoes on, so I was tip-toeing around with the rake and fighting with this snake; he was pretty strong. I have a tarp around the bottom of the coop and he ended up going inside there. At this point I went inside to get my boots and reassess. It's getting closer to 11, should I just leave him? Should I shoot him? No, not at 11pm. What to do? I got my boots on and went back out. I used the rake and felt around the tarp and realized he was inside the bottom, stuck. PERFECT! I unhooked the tarp from the coop and used the rake to drag him, inside the tarp, all the way to the other side of the yard, still holding my cell phone as a flashlight. I would just have to figure out my next course of action in the daylight.
The next morning I did not have time to deal with snake shenanigans before Reining Hope, so I made sure he wasn't in the coop and took off. When I came back in the afternoon he was back in the coop, already digesting an egg. I started to attempt to get him out again and realized that unless I planned on grabbing him with my hand I wasn't going to be able to hold the coop door open and get him out with the rake without another pair of hands. Luckily my friends were coming over. So I waited. When they arrived, my friend held the coop door open while I found the snake's head. I pushed it down with the rake, switched to me holding the door, and my friend grabbed his tail and pulled him out of the coop. Once he was out of the coop, we switched it up where he held his head with the rake and I took a hold of the snake. This was intense but so awesome at the same time. All my dreams of being like Steve Irwin came true!!
I did not plan to kill the snake for a few reasons. These guys aren't bad. They are non-venemous, good for rodent control, and since snakes are territorial they will deter other snakes, like bad ones. But he couldn't stay close and threaten the flock and continue to eat eggs. So my friend and I walked him about 2 acres away and set him free. He slithered in the opposite direction of the house so that's a plus. But if/when he or one of this friends comes back, I'll be ready!
The garden is growing like crazy! I haven't had to buy vegetables in forever and I am giving so much away because I just can't eat this much. If you follow my Instagram (there's a link on the right side of the page) you've seen all my zucchini selfies. They are HUGE!! And so are the cucumbers. I've had to start to enjoy cucumbers. I was never a fan but they aren't that terrible. They are even better with ranch dip. They just aren't my favorite but I love eating something that I grew.
Here's today's harvest. I put the cherry maters and eggs next to everything for scale. The maters are just now starting to ripen here and there. But all my plants have green tomatoes. I see a lot of salsa and sketti sauce in my future because again, I am not a mater fan. My husband is though, so as long as he is around, those will be eaten.
A friend of mine let me borrow a zucchini cookbook, so I found some recipes to try. I REALLY need to because this is getting crazy! I am very happy to share though and promote farm to table.
That's all I've got for now. Happy Summer!!!!
Since my last farming post, we have had a couple big events happen over here. The first, Frenchie is still sitting on eggs. By the time you read this, she will be on her 22nd day of laying on the eggs. We never candled them, checked for life, we decided to just let her do her thing and let nature do it's thing. So it will be interesting to see exactly what happens. So far we haven't heard any cheeping out there but we still have time.
I caught this photo earlier this week. Frenchie was getting a drink. She was there for a second and then right back on her eggs. We get nervous that she isn't doing well but when I check on her I'll notice that she'll be looking one way and then the next day she'll be facing the other way. And I know she knows what she's doing so I shouldn't worry. But that mama thing kicks in and I want to make sure she's all good.
Next up on the farm update…I went to get eggs out of the nesting box the other day and had an unexpected visitor.
Not a super dangerous little guy, but he was eating my breakfast!! I always go in the yard expecting a snake because I know they are out there, but it is always so startling when you actually see one. This guy was about 4 feet long.
Took the girls about a week to start laying in the nesting box again. We thought they had either given up or started laying somewhere else in our five-ish acres. So I went on an egg hunt the other day with no luck. Then for some reason I was looking in the bottom of the coop and in the way back corner that we can't see, a huge pile of eggs!! Luckily they've gone back to laying in their designated spots now.
Here's a picture of all the birds on the porch, just for fun.
And in other ranch/farm type news, I am getting more acquainted with the horses at Reining Hope. (I am linking you to the newsletter page so you can check out the Spring 2017 one if you so wish. Might see a familiar face in one of the articles) I think I've said before that I did not grow up around horses and I do not know much about them. But I was around them a couple weekends ago and this particular one, Beau, was very affectionate most the day. Yes, he's nibbling on my shoulder.
Hopefully my next post will be about new baby chicks!! Happy Friday!!

Oct. 5, 2010 Updated: June 17, 2016 6:13 p.m.
This hasn't been the type of week -- or month -- Pete Tucci would care to remember. The veteran head coach of the Norwalk High School football team has spent the past five days doing damage control, working every motivational tool in his arsenal in an attempt to get the Bears back to playing the type of football he knows they can play.
Norwalk (1-2) is coming off one of their worst performances in recent history, dropping a 48-0 decision against Trumbull last Friday night at McDougall Stadium, during which the Bears got out-played in every facet of the game from start to finish. In fact, Norwalk seemed defeated before it even stepped on the turf, showing up with no energy and no will to win.
The end result was the most lopsided defeat Norwalk has suffered since a 50-0 loss to Staples in 2005.
But Tucci did have reason to smile earlier this week, if only for a few moments.
Tucci was named MSG Varsity Coach of the Week on Sept. 27 after guiding the Bears to a stunning 19-7 victory over Greenwich in the season opener.
The award -- officially known as the Lou Rettino High School Coach of the Week -- is presented by the New York Giants to a deserving coach in the Tri-State area.
Norwalk hadn't beaten Greenwich in 30 years, snapping an 0-20-1 winless streak in the process, so putting it in Tucci's hands was more than fitting.
The award comes with a certificate of recognition signed by NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell and Giants head coach Tom Coughlin, and most importantly, a $1,000 donation for the Norwalk High School football program.
Due to budget constraints, Tucci will definitely put the money to good use.
"That was definitely the best part of it," he said.
The Giants will select a Coach of the Year at the end of the season among its pool of weekly honorees. The winner will receive $2,000 for their program.
Tucci will also be invited to an year-ending banquet hosted by the Giants and the MSG Network in New York City.
This Sunday, as the Giants were beating up on quarterback Jay Cutler and the Bears during their 17-3 victory, Tucci's name was flashed up on the big screen at the new Meadowlands Stadium along with the other weekly winners of the Rettino Award.
That night, and the next day, Tucci started getting phone calls from all of his friends and acquaintances who were in attendance at the Meadowlands. The well wishes definitely put a smile on his face and made him forget about what happened just a few days earlier.
"I was joking with everyone, telling them it was for the Trumbull game because everyone thought we were going to lose 80-0 and we held them to 48 points," Tucci said. "It was nice."
Tucci is humbled, and a little embarrassed, by the attention he's been getting because of the victory over Greenwich and the award from the Giants.
"People are still congratulating me," he said. "I tell them, if we go 1-9 it won't mean anything."
Tucci has never been one to brag or boast about his own accomplishments. But consecutive losses to Staples and Trumbull certainly helped put a damper on it.

"I think the only reason I got it was because we hadn't beaten Greenwich in 30 years," said Tucci, in his 13th season as head coach at Norwalk. "MSG Varsity was at the game that night and I don't think they thought we were going to win."
The Jets also give a weekly award in conjunction with MSG Varsity, and that went to a coach who also ended a long losing streak.
"The Jets award went to a coach from New Jersey," Tucci said. "I found out later his team hadn't beaten the team they beat in 24 years. So it was the same thing."
But Tucci isn't trying to throw cold water on the award. He's definitely flattered by it.
The last time anyone from Norwalk's football program received an award this big was 1999 when Pat Moffett was named to the Tri-State High School Heisman team.
Some great coaches have won the award, including Marce Petroccio of Staples. Now Tucci is a part of that group.
"It was nice, and they gave some money to the football program, which is always good. We can always use it," Tucci said. "I'm very honored by it."
After last week, Tucci almost felt like giving the award back.
"Everything but the thousand dollars," Tucci joked.
But one thing he wouldn't trade was the ability the award gave him to smile during a week he'd love to forget.

"I wanted to show women in a different way," said photographer Peter Lindbergh.
It's no secret that going makeup-free is a growing trend, and now it's showing up in the famous Pirelli calendar.
The decades-old calendar is known for its association with big-name photographers who take ultra-glam shots of the women featured in it...so it's a BFD that the women who appear in this year's version went pretty much sans makeup.
RELATED: What's That on Your Face?
While past years have featured women in gorgeous gowns or naked, made up Hollywood-style, this year's calendar—titled "Emotional"—features black and white pics captured by German photographer Peter Lindbergh. According to the Associated Press, the actresses wore "invisible" makeup. As a result, the photos show their wrinkles, fine lines, and overall imperfections.
"I wanted to show women in a different way: I did this by asking actresses who have always played an important role in my life and to try and get as close to them as possible through my photos. As an artist, I feel I have a responsibility to free women from the idea of eternal youth and perfection. Society's ideal of perfection is impossible to achieve," the photographer said via Pirelli.com.
The photos are jaw-droppingly gorgeous, making an even bigger case that you don't need a ton of makeup on to look amazing.

Time To Ditch The Pushchair?
Free movement is vital to your baby's development – something that buggies, baby rockers and seats don't allow, claims an expert. But could you cope if you used yours less?
Pushchairs and baby seats are key pieces of baby kit that undoubtedly make life with a baby much easier. But a neuro-pyschologist expert has now raised concerns that the overuse of baby equipment such as pushchairs and bouncers could hold back a baby's social and physical development in the first three years of life.
The warning comes from Sally Goddard Blythe, director of the Institute for Neuro Psychology in Chester, who says that a generation of under-threes are spending more and more time in 'restricted sedentary positions' – hindering their development.
Speaking ahead of a conference today titled 'Building the brain: what's love got to do with it?' staged by What About the Children? charity, Sally warns that mums and dads are using baby equipment for long periods of time while they get on with their personal life. She also says forward-facing buggies leaves babies with less face-to-face time, which previous research by Dundee University found can leave tots 'emotionally impoverished' and less likely to laugh or interact with their parents.
Sally says that parents are also using tablets and smartphones to distract their children, meaning that babies aren't spending as much time playing, talking and singing with their parents as they should – which could impede social interaction which helps physical development.
However, Sally recognises that all the mentioned baby products are necessary and if used in moderation then 'there is probably no problem at all'.
'I am not anti-baby equipment but I see the results of restricted physical interaction in the early years, and also a new generation of parents who are not aware of what babies and children need in the early years to build the physical foundations for learning,' explains Sally.
'The best playground for a baby in the first months of life is firstly the mother's body and secondly a clean blanket on the floor. From there a child learns head and neck control, and eventually how to roll and sit by himself – this is different from the experience of being placed in a sitting position by an adult.
How do you help aid your baby's development? Let us know in the comments box below.

Q: BLE ability, secure connection and unpack data I have a use case, and i want to use BLE to accomplish the use case, i don't know if BLE support my use case and the way to do that.
Sensor Tag- is small device that works on coin battery and contains BLE.
Use-case: I want to connect the Sensor Tag to smartphone and unpack data.
1- The connection must be just to my smartphone app, i don't want any other app's to connect to the Sensor Tag and unpack data.
2- Each packet of data must be ACK, the smartphone get packet 1 and send it to the server, the server return ACK to the smartphone, the smartphone send ACK to the Sensor Tag, then the Sensor Tag will sends packet 2...
3- In order to force the Sensor Tag not send data in airplanes, the Sensor Tag must just listen at first, if he heard something from my android app, then he will sends connection request.
First questions: did the BLE support my use case? All, some(which ones), none?
Second question: How can i establish the use case?
Thanks.

Community town centres
26 May 2021 | Joe Wills, Claire Harding
The historic policy focus on restoring high streets to their heyday of retail is understandable. The dominant paradigm of the UK in the late twentieth century generally understood high streets as places for shopping. The mass redevelopment and new planning system of the postwar era focused on attracting shoppers – both as a mark of prestige for the local area and as a route to prosperity. The value of business rates levied on retail, in contrast with industrial properties, similarly made the retail-led development of town centres attractive to local authorities. 11
However, despite this popular conception and the long-standing policy consensus, the actual functions of high streets and town centres as places were already many and varied. High streets are by definition highly complex places, which respond to and are shaped by a far broader range of influences than just consumer shopping preferences.
The high street is only "dying" if we take the viability of bricks and mortar retail as its only vital sign.
A look at the range of factors that impact on the success and longevity of high streets shows why this is the case. In London, a large number of existing high streets came into being as a result of locational advantages alongside major transport routes. These developed in a linear pattern out from the medieval city – following Roman roads in many cases – and offering the possibility of enough passing visitors to support commercial activity. Other high streets developed out of villages which had come into being due to some other intrinsic advantage to the place, and which have long since been incorporated into the city as it expanded. These are typically more spatially consolidated – a "town centre" rather than the classic linear high street. The literature has categorised these two typologies as "connected" or "detached", 12 and has shown how movement, accessibility and transport mode are still crucial in determining perceptions of place 12 as well as money spent there. 14
High streets' longevity has been sustained by providing enough different reasons to keep people coming. Diversity has been at the heart of their persistence for centuries. A detailed look at particular high streets over time demonstrates this. Tracking land use in one south London suburban high street since the late 19th century shows that, despite retail being the dominant non-domestic use, the high street has always served a wider range of functions than commonly appreciated. The problem is that local and national policy has not always recognised this diversity.
Figures 1 – 4 demonstrate how Surbiton high street in the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames has persisted by being able to adapt across periods of great change. Over the years, a number of activities taking place in the high street have remained – but the actual function of each building, and the relative proportion of different activities across the whole mix, has changed substantially. The ability of a place to adapt is in part determined by the physical fabric itself. Block layouts, frontages, depth of units, floor fit-outs and subdivisions all play a role in allowing individual units, and a place as a whole, to adapt. In turn, these features have been determined by a complex and interrelated range of factors, including their position within wider movement networks, land ownership, real estate investment patterns and planning policy.
How different people use high streets
This diversity of uses and functions is not just an historic artefact, however. Beyond land use surveys, vacancy rates and other retail-related metrics, a closer look at how groups and individuals use the high street makes its fundamental importance clearer.
In a detailed study of six different high streets across London, retail was shown to make up 55 per cent of non-domestic uses of buildings on average. However, when high street users were surveyed about the purpose of their visit, 66 per cent of trips to the high street were revealed to be for reasons other than shopping. 15 Further surveys across different case study areas have shown similar results: in a more recent study, 45 per cent of high street users surveyed said their primary use of the high street was not retail related. 16
The importance of the high street is even more pronounced for underserved and marginalised groups. The same research found that people not in employment were over-represented proportionally as visitors to the high street. The high concentration of jobs around high streets could explain this. 41 per cent of all businesses in London outside of the Central Activities Zone are on a high street, along with 28 per cent of the jobs. 17 In a noteworthy comparison, Peckham's town centre accommodates 2,100 businesses and 13,400 jobs, whilst Westfield Stratford accommodates 300 businesses and 8,500 jobs. 18
Detailed site-specific analyses often show highly integrated local networks of businesses and workspace that offer accessible routes into employment and enterprise with relatively low barriers to entry. 18, 12 This can be particularly important for recent immigrants, who can find a point of connection with global networks and an anchor in the city through established communities.
These links between formal economic activity and informal personal connections or support are a characteristic feature of London's high streets. The concentration of commercial activities alongside community services, libraries, places of worship, leisure and culture offers a setting for contact with our neighbours, as well as opportunities for positive social interactions. High streets and town centres are a stage for public life and social integration. 21
It is important to note that the particular high street or town centre that people feel most closely connected to may not always be their closest one. Some people have a strong connection to places linked to communities of identity. Others might spend a lot of time on a high street close to their child's school, their place of worship, their bus stop, or one which has the shops they most want to use. As such, we don't believe that involvement in town centre governance should be too formally constrained by geography – although in general, councils, community groups and other organisations will usually want to prioritise engagement with the people who live within immediate walking distance of a high street.
A picture should be emerging of a uniquely rich ecosystem of social and economic life and value. We need to preserve and enhance the good which already exists, and foster more where it doesn't. It is important to remember that high street renewal will happen in already-existing places.
Understanding what the strengths and assets of a place are – and not treating renewal as wiping the slate clean – is crucial.
Assets could include physical spaces which add value, as well as community strengths and skills. The goal is to create town centres and high streets which have a varied and wide mix of uses, serve local needs in the broadest sense, respect local identity and differences, and remain interesting, welcoming places to spend time.
The role for communities
The good news is that the policy focus has begun to change in recent years. The argument that retail will no longer be the dominant attraction on high streets is commonly accepted by policymakers as well as retail and property professionals. There is increasing momentum behind the idea that communities must play a meaningful part in shaping their local centres, and a growing alignment between private, public and social sectors. The Grimsey Review advocated a radical shift in power to the local level for both local authorities and communities, adding a powerful senior industry voice. A Housing, Communities & Local Government select committee report in 2019 similarly articulated a vision of town centres thriving in 2030 "if they become activity-based community gathering places where retail is a smaller part of a wider range of uses and activities". 22
The Greater London Authority (GLA) has made "High Streets for All" a key mission for recovery from the pandemic, with the aim of "creating thriving, inclusive and resilient high streets and town centres, with culture, diverse shops, and jobs within walking distance of all Londoners". 17 The mission recognises that there is a reciprocal relationship between strong communities and strong high streets:
To build strong communities we need to provide what people
value and want through local assets, business and partnerships.
We need more "people focused" businesses and services and we
need to get locals more involved in the design and management
of places. 24
Funding has been made available via the "High Streets Challenge" to develop strategies that respond to this mission.
Alongside these efforts there have also been a proliferation of other reports calling for meaningful community involvement in shaping town centres and high streets. 25, 26
Holistic and strategic renewal
This increasing momentum is feeding through to action. In 2019, the UK government commissioned the High Streets Task Force (HSTF) to provide practical support and guidance for local leaders, share data and resources, and coordinate a national approach to high streets. Comprised of a range of experts from the public, private and community sectors, the HSTF takes as a starting point that "multiple retailers will no longer be the dominant attraction in most town centres and so we have to redefine the high street". 27 Measures include supporting a number of "pilot areas" with in-kind expert advice to reimagine their high streets; within London, Thornton Heath in Croydon is the only such pilot area.
The HSTF have developed a framework called the "4 Rs of renewal" for approaching the areas of strategic priority necessary to redefine the high street. 28 For each priority, we explain where we see a clear rationale for meaningful community involvement, and demonstrate how community can be the thread that ties each priority together.

One of my clients held a fantastic holiday party at the The Smithsonian Udvar-Hazy Center in Chantilly, Virginia. I didn't realize that the The Udvar-Hazy Center hosted parties until I was asked to photograph this event. We used the Discovery Space Shuttle as a backdrop for family portraits, And the Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird served as the background for dinner and dancing.


It's Black Friday and that means every retailer in America is throwing out some heavy discounts on popular products. Before you go directly to Apple for your technology needs, check out Amazon.com's deals.
Apple's own Black Friday sales have always been the same every year, with no more than $101 off some new Macs. They likely don't want to dilute their brand (and margins) with deeper discounts, so customers are better off looking at third-party Apple resellers instead. And since almost everyone has shopped at Amazon.com at some point, let's look at what the popular online store is offering for Black Friday 2010.
Please note Amazon's prices fluctuate and may change at any time.
I was late seeing this in time for black Friday but I'm glad I looked anyway. Pretty much all of these prices are still the same for cyber Monday which is today.

Dear Irene: Loss is a given during our lifetime. Some losses we seem to be able to deal with, and they seem to be more manageable, but others seem to take a hold on our lives and every aspect of it, and the grieving process takes hold of us. Recognizing that you have a loss is the first step and then finding ways to deal with that loss at this moment. Most of us have felt losses throughout our lives, starting when we are children. A beloved pet, a grandparent that we love or even the loss of moving to a new town and leaving behind friends can be significant losses. As we age, we see loss in divorce, jobs that end, friendships that we had as children disappearing because of time and growing apart. We mourn for the way things used to be.
The one constant in our lives seems to be our parents and the idea that they are never going to disappear from our lives. My mom's passing three years ago was a massive loss for me, and I seemed to turn all my energy and focus on helping my dad, who was 90 at the time. It seemed to cushion the despair of losing my mom with caring for my dad.
This year, I lost my dad, and with no one to take up that time and energy. I felt the loss so much more. The thought that I no longer have parents here on Earth seemed daunting, even to me, a medium who can see spirit on the other side.
Acknowledging your loss first to yourself and then sharing your feelings with others is a big step. There always seems to be someone who knows how you are feeling, and having someone you can openly share your grief with is essential. Holding it inside and letting it fester is not good for your soul or your body.
I do know that life goes on for your dad, just in a different way, and that the bond between the two of you can never be broken. My advice to my clients is to bring their loved ones on their life journey. Your loved ones in spirit love it when you are smiling and dancing as they dance by your side. They walk in the sand by the ocean with you and join you as you stand to look out the window, watching the cardinal they have sent your way -- one of just a few signs that they are with you still.
I am not a grief counselor, but here are a few tips that might make things a little easier for you.
1. Take the time you need to be sad. They're your feelings; acknowledge them.
2. Talk to others about your feelings.
3. Find a ritual that will help you to honor them.
4. Visit the grave if it helps. They hear you no matter what, but if it helps to have a peaceful place to talk to them, they feel honored.
5. Plant flowers or a tree in their memory.
6. Light a white candle, and say a prayer, as prayers are heard. They say prayers for you as well.
7. Create an altar or a place in your home where you can place a picture, play their favorite music, place some flowers, and ask their spirits to join you, then acknowledge their presence. Speak to them like they are there, because they are.
8. If a tattoo is your way of keeping them close, they know about them also. It is doing something that makes you feel better.
I remember when my mom passed, I took a pair of her slippers home with me and wore them to bed for a full year. When my husband and I went to see Theresa Cuputo, "the Long Island Medium," at a big event she was giving, I was amazed to hear her last words before she left the stage: "There is a mom here who wants to acknowledge that her daughter has been wearing her slippers to bed at night for the last year." I loved receiving that message, and it was a piece of evidence that only my mom and I could have known about, confirming for me that she knew my ritual.
I also found relief in going to a spiritualist church that I belong to and receiving messages from my parents from other mediums. Whatever faith you believe in, I feel that the bond with God and the universe helps to lessen the pain in the knowledge that our loved ones are safe and sound.
Do what makes you feel better, knowing they are with you still, guiding and watching with love -- the kind of love that never leaves us and is everlasting.
At an event I was giving this past weekend, a husband from the spirit world bent down close to his wife in the audience and handed her a card showing me he was drawing hearts on it. As I explained what I was seeing, the wife said, "Every year my husband made me a handmade Valentine's card that he would draw hearts on and give to me." Who would know that? It was so touching to watch the love that was still so strong between this couple.
I know your loved ones would want me to wish you all a very happy Valentine's Day as they send down their love to you.


This crystal is by far the one I use the most. It combines powerfully with every other stones and is a magnificent amplifier for Reiki healing. Whenever I send out distance Reiki, I add Clear Quartz to my Reiki name box to enhance the effects. I also add one bead of Clear Quartz to all of my healing gemstone bracelets to boost the effects of the primary stone. I have multiple pieces (tumbled, rough, wands, etc.) and some is always within reach!
Science – Quartz includes a very large family of gems. In fact, it is the most common mineral on Earth! For this reason it has been called "the Grandfather of all Gems." Although this article is about the Clear variety, quartz also includes Amethyst, Citrine, Rose, Smoky, Snow, Agate, Chalcedony, Aventurine, and many, many more. Quartz is used in watches and radios because it can produce electromagnetic energy when under physical pressure (piezoelectricity).
Historical Significance – Quartz is said to be named after the Slavic word for 'hard', but also the Greek word for 'ice'. Clear Quartz is also known as Rock Crystal. Clear Quartz has been revered for ages. Crystal balls were used for scrying and divination. Japanese cultures considered Quartz a symbol for purity. Native American cultures believed that Quartz housed sentient spirits and would provide them with offerings. In fact, in Central and South America, Clear Quartz was carved into the shape of skulls to represent the spirits within.
Metaphysical Attributes – Quartz is well known for being able to amplify, store, and direct the flow of energy. The amplification aspect is extremely useful. It can amplify our intentions, so using Clear Quartz during intention setting rituals, moon phase ceremonies, and while creating vision boards will give extra power for those intentions to grow and manifest. Clear Quartz can be combined with other gemstones to amplify their effects. If you really need "extra" of what a crystal provides, pair it with Quartz for an additional boost.
Clear quartz is an amazing cleanser for our energy, aura, chakras, and physical body. It helps to raise our personal vibration and dissolve blockages that are creating imbalances. This stone inherently knows what we need to be Whole and works to correct the source of illness. The amplification property works especially well for healers as it can boost the effective of the treatment. I use Clear Quartz whenever I am working with Reiki clients to enhance the power of the Reiki energy.
Clear Quartz is a perfect gem for working with and developing metaphysical abilities. It helps clear distractions during meditation, so one can listen deeper and open the Crown Chakra up to receive information from our guides, angels, Higher Self and the Universe. If you are trying to expand your psychic abilities, include Clear Quartz in your practices to relax your energy, dissolve energetic or emotional barriers, and be more receptive to the messages.
Finally, this crystal records the energy it comes in contact with and it can be released or "read" at a later time. It helps to form a conduit to our past lives to help with karmic and soul healing as it holds a memory of "all that was." This gemstone can be charged with an energy or intention to be used later on. The stone can be filled with the intention of courage, for example, if you have an upcoming event that frightens you. Then you can hold the stone during the event and receive the boost of confidence and courage.
This recording feature of Quartz has said to be responsible for a large amount of hauntings across the world. If a property was built on land laden with Quartz material, it will record the life history of that building and replay it long after the events have ceased.
Physical Effects – Clear Quartz is said to help with the healing process in general, so if you are ill, or recovering from an injury or surgery, carrying Quartz with you will enhance the healing process.
Alternately, hold a Clear Quartz mala and chant this mantra 108 times.
What a chilling yet intriguing thought…I'm sure you're right. Jewelery sits on our skin and quartz would likely record everything.

Opening with a dusty jangle and determined strums, John Mellencamp's "Pink Houses" evokes mid-West imagery of corn fields and calloused hands. One of his most successful heartland hits, it's a song that sounds full of pride, but a closer listen to the singer's garbled lyrics will reveal the real meaning behind "Pink Houses."
A native of rural Indiana, Mellencamp often writes songs about the American Heartland, and sometimes those songs don't paint the region in the prettiest light. "Pink Houses" is one of them, a tune that lays bare the harsher realities of living in America.
The 1983 song was born from a passing glance. "I was driving through Indianapolis on Interstate 65 and I saw a black man holding either a cat or a dog," the musician told Rolling Stone of the song. "He was sitting on his front lawn in front of a pink house in one of those shitty, cheap lawn chairs. I thought, 'Wow, is this what life can lead to? Watching the fuckin' cars go by on the interstate?' Then I imagined he wasn't isolated, but he was happy. So I went with that positive route when I wrote this song."
Sometimes misinterpreted as patriotic with their anthemic sounds and American imagery, his songs are more often critiques of American life rather than celebrations of it. "Pink Houses," especially, holds a mirror to the distorted vision of the "American Dream."
"This one has been misconstrued over the years because of the chorus—it sounds very rah-rah. But it's really an anti-American song," Mellencamp continued of "Pink Houses." "The American dream had pretty much proven itself as not working anymore. It was another way for me to sneak something in."
The Lyrics
Opening with the image that inspired it all, "Pink Houses" depicts a black man with a black cat / Livin' in a black neighborhood / He's got an interstate / Runnin' through his front yard / You know he thinks that he's got it so good. The man is presumably living below the poverty line, but he is happy with what he has. The song continues, And there's a woman in the kitchen / Cleanin' up the evenin' slop / And he looks at her and says, hey darlin' / I can remember when you could stop a clock.
The chorus—long-misinterpreted as a rallying cry for America, equivalent to chants of USA! USA!—plays. With his lyrics, Mellencamp delivers a jab at his country, attempting to give an uninhibited look at what it means to survive in America. Oh, but ain't that America / For you and me, the artist sneers. Ain't that America / Something to see, baby / Ain't that America / Home of the free, yeah / Little pink houses / For you and me.
Ain't that America, the singer taunts. A country that runs on the efforts of the working class, and yet makes sure the "American Dream" is just out of their reach, ain't that something to see, Mellencamp asks.
The next verse introduces another story, continuing with Well, there's a young man in a t-shirt / Listenin' to a rockin' rollin' station / He's got greasy hair, greasy smile / He says, Lord this must be my destination / 'Cause they told me when I was younger / Said boy, you're gonna be president / But just like everything else / Those old crazy dreams / Just kinda came and went.
The chorus plays again, heaping on the disdain for a country that promises so much in the way of dreams, but provides so little to those who have less.
Well, there's people and more people / What do they know, know, know / Go to work in some high rise / And vacation down at the Gulf of Mexico, the last verse plays, rattling off class distinctions and the disparities between the haves and the have-nots. There's winners and there's losers, Mellencamp sings, But they ain't no big deal / 'Cause the simple man, baby / Pays for thrills / The bills, the pills that kill.
Oh, but ain't that America.

'One Day at a Time' writers to begin work on Season 4
Annie Martin
We start Wednesday. It's honestly still hard for me to believe that we get to do this again  #MoreODAAT pic.twitter.com/yu4aekqjSB— Mike Royce (@MikeRoyce) October 21, 2019
Oct. 22 (UPI) -- The writers for One Day at a Time will begin work on Season 4 this week.
Writer and executive producer Mike Royce announced in a tweet Monday that he will return to work Wednesday following the show's move from Netflix to Pop.
"We start Wednesday. It's honestly still hard for me to believe that we get to do this again," he wrote, adding a heart emoji. "#MoreODAAT."
Writer Dan Signer re-tweeted Royce's post and voiced his own excitement.
"Two days till we start! I'm bringing the apostrophe," he wrote.
One Day at a Time initially aired for three seasons on Netflix. Pop TV picked up the series in June following the show's cancellation by Netflix in March.
"We are thrilled beyond belief to be making more One Day at a Time," Royce and co-showrunner Calderon Kellett said at the time. "This show has meant so much to so many, and we can't wait to dive in with our amazing new partners Pop and CBS."
Season 4 will consist of 13 episodes and premiere on Pop TV in 2020.
One Day at a Time is inspired by Norman Lear's 1975 series of the same name. The show follows the Alvarez family, played by Justina Machado, Isabella Gomez, Marcel Ruiz and Rita Moreno, a Cuban-American family living in Los Angeles.

Ikea plans mega presence
Ikea, a Swedish-based furniture brand, has announced its intention to enter Gurugram.
Ingka Centre, which will be located in Gurugram, will allow the company to enter the NCR market.
The centre will house mixed-use retail and will be anchored by an Ikea large format store. It is expected to open in 3-4 years.
The company also plans to implement an omnichannel strategy that will include both "big and small" stores as well as online presence.
IANS spoke with Peter Betzel, Ikea India's CEO and Chief Sustainability Officer. He stated that the company has purchased land in Gurugram, Noida, and is currently looking for suitable locations to build in Delhi. We should be able in the near future to announce the timelines for Noida and Delhi projects. The brand of home furnishings opened its first store at Navi Mumbai in 2020. It also launched the IKEA App, which recently expanded its omnichannel presence.
It was notable that it had an "App" entry in Bangalore, as well as in several other cities in Gujarat (including Surat, Ahmedabad and Baroda).
"We look forward to opening our first city store in Worli (Mumbai) this year." The company is currently present in Mumbai and Pune, Hyderabad, Bangalore. Ahmedabad. Surat.
"India is still an important market for Ingka Group. Our goal is to reach more than 200,000,000 people by 2025. We have been able move forward with our omnichannel growth in India. Although we had to work under tight guidelines and have some restrictions, our projects have not been affected." Betzel spoke out about the impact of the pandemic on business. She stated that customers are increasingly shopping online.
"We have been increasing our online presence in new market and introduced many online services like 'Click & Collect, home furnishing consultancy, remote plan, among others." "Consumers are looking for cheaper solutions… They are weighing every purchase carefully. This is why Ikea has been able to lower the prices of many of its products. Ikea was able to lower the prices of many of its products in order to benefit customers. He also observed the lively buiness that the conducted during the festive period.
"The demand for home furnishing is increasing and will continue to rise as the pandemic situation improves." We have seen many customers spend money, especially during the festive season. Smart buying will be a trend that customers will use to plan ahead and only buy the things they actually need. Value for money and affordable solutions will become more popular as consumers are likely to spend less on discretionary items. Betzel also stated that 23 percent of the products the company has sold in India have been locally sourced. This was achieved in the first three year of store operation.
"The goal is to increase India's sourcing to at least 50% in the next few years in order to provide more affordable products to our customers, reduce the carbon footprint and expand the Indian manufacturing sector." This will not only result in lower prices for customers, but it will also create more jobs and improve skills. It will also reduce the environmental impact.

Ahead of the Cap Intro by Swiss-Asia event, we caught up with representatives to better understand what they are doing to become one of Asia's rising alternative investment funds.
Following a recent Reuters article about Football and short funds offering Asian investors new volatility hedges, we sat down with Anthony S. Casey, Football Finance Note's Investment Manager for a quick chat.
Hi Anton, it seems like exciting times for Football Finance Note. Please tell us, what is the investment strategy?
The Football Finance Note (FFN) is listed on the Frankfurt Exchange, protected by the Luxembourg securitisation laws. Each deal is fully secured by guaranteed global income streams from TV broadcasting rights.
We provide investors with a USD entry point for investing into top tier English Football Clubs, whilst providing a reasonable rate of return, not correlated to stock markets and leveraging the recession proof sports industry.
Why did you decide to start FFN?
I decided to start it because I saw a gap in the market – there is an opportunity to provide investors in Asia with a USD entry point for investing into top tier English football in a listed, transparent and cost effective manner. English football is very much an obsession in Asia. If I could provide an access point that offers a reasonable rate of return in a totally uncorrelated manner, it would be a winner! To date, demand for FFN has been off the charts in this part of the world.
How do you keep the momentum going in a volatile and unpredictable market?
Football fans will always be watching the game, so football is largely recession proof. For the FFN, our contracts with the clubs run from six to 24 months. These are largely short term and renewable. It is not correlated to markets or macro volatility, and its rate of return is derived from TV broadcasting revenue, which is growing year after year, making the FFN a very interesting risk/return asset class. But to enjoy consistent, uncorrelated returns, investors into the FFN should hold for a minimum of three to five years.
Any advice for aspiring entrepreneurs looking to start their own fund?
Do not start a fund in a crowded sector, unless you have some serious added value resulting in alpha. There is no point going up against the big institutional fund houses, unless your strategy is demonstrably different or has a very visible edge over the rest.
I would probably still be running my Balearic dance music events company, which was sold in 1996. That or more involved in the many start-up businesses that I help mentor around the world.

Currently, faxing from email only shows the SUBJECT and ATTACHMENTS. Anything added in the BODY of an email is completely ignored, but this is generally where instructions and pertinent information is provided. Please allow text from the BODY of an email to be shown on sent faxes.
agreed - there should be a fax-setting on each extension check-box indicating whether to include email body content as a cover page note.
i agree. as a work around we typically put what we would normally put in the body of the email in the subject line as well. of course, that is limited characters, but it works for us most of the time. I send via the RC phone app under the compose fax tab along the bottom instead of email as well and can type more in the body under the note section.

Keritot (en hebreo: כריתות) es el séptimo tratado del orden de Kodashim, de la Mishná y el Talmud babilónico. El tratado tiene seis capítulos y trata sobre las transgresiones para las cuales el castigo es el karet.

El tratado trata sobre las transgresiones por las cuales los pecadores son castigados con ser separados de la comunidad del pueblo judío, si su pecado es cometido deliberadamente. Keritot trata sobre el tipo de sacrificio que debe ser ofrecido para la expiación de ese pecado, si la transgresión fue cometida por error.

Hay varios ejemplos de pecados relacionados con el karet que incluyen: romper el ayuno en el día de Yom Kipur, los pecados sexuales y la impureza ritual. Según el judaísmo, el hombre judío que no desea unirse al pacto de Abraham, Isaac y Jacob, y que por tanto se niega a ser circuncidado como una señal del pacto hecho por Elohim con Abraham y sus descendientes, debe ser separado del pueblo judío.
