Contact lenses are thin, curved plastic disks that cover the cornea and designed especially for vision correction. Just as drops of water cling to the surface of the glass due to the surface tension, contact lenses too, adhere to the film of tears over the cornea.
Contact lenses are a safe and effective way to correct vision. They are also used for several other purposes today, such as theatrical effects and cosmetic enhancement for the eyes. Whatever the use, they should be worn under proper supervision and with care. They are also a good alternative to eyeglasses, depending on the damage to your eyes, your prescription and your lifestyle.
Special colored contacts can be used to change the color of the eyes to various degrees. Contact lenses are often used therapeutically in eye diseases where an uneven cornea blurs vision, such as keratoconus or scarring.
It is important to consult an eye doctor or a good eye care professional to help you decide whether contact lenses are suited to you and which ones to use if they are. After all, the health of your eyes is not only essential but also your main concern. Always select an eye care professional who is knowledgeable and experienced with contact lenses.

This is where the crew van comes to the rescue. Crew cab vans offer perfect versatility for businesses who need to move both loads and people. A typical crew van (often also known as a double cab, double cab in van (DCIV) or kombi van) is a van with side windows and an additional row of seats to the rear. In some new crew cab vans the rear seats are removeable meaning that the van loadspace can be fully utilised for goods. These are not just vans with back seats. They're a well thought out solution for a business that needs a van to be all things!
Typical trades that would find crew cab vans useful? Apart from builders, event managers, outside caterers, professional landscapers, office cleaning companies, blue light organisations, hotels and airport shuttle operators are all great examples where a new crew cab van could be a huge asset to the business. For the owner of a small company, a crew van means that he can use the weekday working van at the weekend to take his family out, or for camping and other leisure uses.
Vanarama offer the best crew van lease deals, whether you need a 5 seater van, a 6 seater van, or maybe a pickup truck, flat bed or tipper with a double cab. Many of these are in stock and are available for immediate delivery in the UK.
Peugeot Partner Crew Van: The Peugeot Partner crew van, based on the award winning new van is due out later this year. Full details are still to be announced, but Peugeot have stated that the 5 seater van will still be able to accommodate a load length of up to 3.5 metres. Absolutely ideal for an office cleaning company that needs to move staff and supplies around a tight city environment.
Vauxhall Vivaro Crew Van: The Vauxhall Vivaro is one of the most popular crew cab vans. Called the Vivaro Doublecab, its available as a swb crew van or a lwb crew van. Twin side loading doors allow easy access to the three passenger bench seat, whilst still offering up to 4 cubic metres of loadspace in the rear. A true 6 seater crew van.
Ford Transit Crew Van: Another best selling crew van is, of course the one based on the Ford Transit Custom. Ford call their crew van the Custom Double Cab in Van. It's also available in two lengths, offering 5 or 6 seat options. The LWB crew van can accommodate a total payload of up to 1339kg and has room in the loadspace for two europallets! Perfect for a builder needing to move heavy loads and people simultaneously.
Mercedes Vito Crew Van: For a bit of panache and style, there's the Mercedes-Benz Vito crew van. Seating six people comfortably, it has a loadspace of up to 4.1 cubic metres. That's plenty of room for baggage for a hotel transferring up to five customers to the airport.
Pickups with double cabs: Although not strictly a crew van, for those who need a pick up type vehicle, who also need to carry people to site, but want something comfortable and stylish for the weekend then look no further than a double cab pick up such as the Ford Ranger Wildtrak, the Mitsubishi L200 Barbarian or the Nissan Navara. These combine a luxurious but practical five seat cab with a loadspace capable of carrying over 1 tonne (total payload including passengers).
Although these crew cab vans and double cab pick ups all have side windows, due to both the payload and the size of the loadspace area they are still normally classified as commercial vehicles for taxation purposes.
Here at Vanarama we don't just offer the best lease deals – we also work hard to make sure that we offer accurate and impartial advice ensuring that you lease the perfect vehicle for your business needs. We'll then take into account your own personal circumstances (for example, the length of time you have been trading) to match you to one of our panel of funders. The volume of vehicles we source from manufacturers means that we're in a position to negotiate huge discounts which are reflected in our ultra-competitive lease rates.
We offer various methods of leasing and can tailor the package to suit you. Typically, a lease period runs for two to four years, and your deposit (initial payment) again can be adjusted to meet your requirements. VAT, usually payable with the initial and monthly payments is recoverable by VAT registered customers, and payments can usually be offset against profit for taxation purposes.
A final thought to finish on – 59% of people interviewed in a survey commissioned by Vanarama said that their confidence in a tradesman would be affected by the age of the vehicle. Proof that battered vans lose business!


A boring master bath gets a mini-remodel into a gorgeous French country bathroom, with a navy, gray and white color palette and DIY pipe shelving.
Sometimes you just need a refresh! But then you look at the bank account and it tells you "no, I don't think so." So a mini-remodel is in store instead, in the form of colors and prints and decor!
That's how I was feeling about our master bath. We had originally painted it this lovely lighter gray color when we first moved in, and I had paired it with lots of white towels and a gray shower curtain that my husband brought with us into the marriage. It was time for that curtain to go, and thus my French country concept was born when I set my eye on that gorgeous white and blue shower curtain at HomeGoods!
That shower curtain set it off: a blue and gray and white color theme with a rustic French country style. My husband helped me put together these gorgeous, rustic DIY pipe shelves, and I filled them with glass jars, jewelry, perfume and these adorable vintage Italian prints. My turquoise Ball jars were the perfect addition for makeup brushes and toothbrushes!
A white ceramic soap dispenser.

Hi Sarah! You have an excellent design idea. Recently I am moving my house, and this is definitely on my list of DIY project for my new home.
Beautiful bathroom remodel design idea. Just phenomenal. Feeling great to find your post. Thanks for your great article.
I'm certain that remodelling a bathroom can be a significant expensive affair. Perhaps I should find somebody in my general vicinity who can assist me with my plans. My wife and I drew up some stuff that we might want to find in our bathroom. We don't know if it's conceivable to do, however.
Jessica, thanks so much for your lovely comment! The pipe shelvings are one of my favorite things and I was sad to leave them behind when we moved earlier this year!
Congrats on your project! With very few details you reno your bathroom. By the way, I really liked the model of your cabinet, could you tell me its measures? I think I can build one like yours. I totally liked it. It's really looking so astonishing. These Pictures are so prettiest. I love it. Keep it up.
Hello Sarah, this is really a nice topic to include home decoration. I love this post. What a lovely curtains and towel hanger. You have decorated your bathroom in a nice way. Thanks for sharing this post with us.

The 4th anniversary of the plane crash in Smolensk
On 10th of April 2010 occured the biggest tragedy in a postwar history of Poland.
The presidential plane Tu-154M crashed near Smolensk (Russia) killing 96 persons. Amongst them the Polish President Lech Kaczyński with his wife, the last Polish President in exile, Ryszard Kaczorowski, Deputy Minister of Culture and National Heritage and initiator of European Network Remembrance and Solidarity Tomasz Merta, Secretary General of the Council for the Protection of Memory of Combat and Martyrdom and also one of originators of ENRS Andrzej Przewoźnik, highest officials from Polish state institutions, the command of the Polish Army and many others.
There is no better way to show the personalities than through memories of the others:
'Andrzej Przewoźnik could have become a history professor. He dreamed about it during his studies in Cracovia. It was meant to be different(…)one of the most overworked civil servants. Thanks to him Russia gave its permission to build a cemetery of the Polish officers in Katyn. He was organizing there commemorating ceremonies. Katyn was his biggest obsession and the biggest but not the only one success. (…) He was tough and adamant during negotiations. He was not giving up.' (Stanisław Kostka, former member of the Home Army, historian and close friend of Andrzej Przewoźnik and his family in an interview given to Polskatimes on 17-18 of April 2010)
'Everybody needs peace and quiet, hardly anyone is able to achieve it and hand down to the others. Exactly such a rare skill had Tomek Merta. (...) He was going to Smolensk not in quest for the historical truth - as the truth about Katyn is already known - but to make next generations and in the best case - other nations - know about it.(...) (Timothy Snyder, American historian, in Rzecz o Tomaszu Mercie, Gazeta Wyborcza 16.04.2010)
'(...) Not only had he thousands books at home. He read them all! (...)About difficult things like about nation, community, patriotism, culture he was talking and writing in strikingly easy way. Easy because authentic. Simply he was talking about what he was living in.(...)' (Robert Mazurek, Polish journalist, friend of Tomasz Merta, in Wprost 17/2010)
They all went there to commemorate the 70th anniversary of genocide committed by NKVD in the Katyn Forest. The irony of history that taking care about memory of 22,000 Polish officers, public servants and top of the Polish elite, these 96 had to pay the biggest price for this remembrance.
*more articles (in Polish) mentioning each and everybody who died on 10th of April 2010 one can find on smolensk.muzhp.pl.

"My world "pre-meditation" was full of overt emotions and feelings that frequently took total control of my life. My long days consists of dealing with the day-to-day operations of running a center with nearly 200 students, managing staff, lesson planning, parental concerns, etc. Not to mention, being a middle child who "used to" over worry and take on other people's problems/issues. I noticed I was becoming more irritable and easily agitated by the simplest things. As a result, high levels of anxiety and stress started to develop. My chest area felt heavy, I had random pains, night sweats were developing and I was lucky if I slept through the entire night. I say "used to" because after the first day of attending a class, I felt a huge burden lift away. I was so calm and relaxed and couldn't figure out why. That day, I knew, was the start to a new beginning.
Now, my world "post-meditation," is full of emotions and feelings that are in balance and in perspective. I am grounded, able to remain calm in challenging situations and feel complete when I meditate. I can honestly say that I did not expect to get this much out of the course. Thank you Judy for being so attentive and gentle while guiding students through your meditation classes.
If you are looking for an experience that will change your life, I challenge you to register for an upcoming class."
I would like to continue with the Monday evening meditation. FYI: I have been enjoying the "classes" so much. It feels like each hour and a half softly erases days,months of mental, physical, emotional tension. I also really appreciate your short explanations/inspirations at the start of each gathering and I loved the Bowls!
An aside:I work in NYC public high schools and have been thinking about how incredibly helpful this practice, and the concepts it is built on, would be to so many of our students.
Anyway, thank you. I look forward to Monday nights!
The "Loving Yourself - Unlocking Your Life" Conscious Living Workshop has really helped me by allowing me to identify my main limiting beliefs and understand how my experiences in this life relate to my soul's purpose during this incarnation. I felt a big shift as I learned to give myself permission to release them in the understanding that I don't have to continually experience them throughout my entire life like a punishment (the limiting belief). I am feeling more free, more joy, and am sustaining that feeling. Thank you for all that you do and the energy and space you hold for us to continue on our journey!
Witnessing and experiencing my relationship with my mother through a different lens was life altering for me. My work with Judy has changed my relationship with my mother who is in the twilight of her life. The practices and meditations that Judy offers are so useful and impactful. Setting boundaries and recognizing my mother's positive attributes has enabled us to form a close, loving and respectful bond.
Hi Judy, our session last week left me feeling amazing - still do!
Just wanted to let you know it really made a big difference.
My husband received so much positive energy that caused the surgery to be a huge success! I am so thankful for you beyond words for the peace and comfort that he had on Thursday. He had no back pain that evening and he had such a great sleep. Judy, thank you!
Through Judy's ability to conduct SRT, I've recently had an incredible session for my 10 year old daughter She had been having trouble sleeping as her mind was going way ahead of her and into the future. This new awareness of her mind slipping in and out of present time and the thoughts that came with it made her anxious and uncomfortable. Then, the same night of the session, my daughter reiterated some of the messages that came through during the session regarding her need for more down time, almost verbatim. She was peaceful and able to sleep for the first time in 2 months without waking. That was 2 months ago and she hasn't had a bout since.
This is not my first experience working with Judy and SRT, but it has been the most immediate transformation I've witnessed. Powerful! I am grateful and humbled by this technology and its practitioner. Judy also compassionately offered direction in guiding the mind as well as some children's meditation sequences, which have both proven extremely useful. I highly recommend this work as an aid to help clear a path toward focus and peace.
I wanted to take a minute to thank you so much for my session today. I honestly feel so much better.
I always felt led to you, right from the beginning and you have helped me in many ways and have made a difference in my life. I am so grateful for you!
So my husband's family is here and from the minute his mom walked in it has been entirely different. I expected a change following my session, but not like this. I feel none of the normal tension and anger and anxiety that always build up when she's around me. And she and my husband are already fighting! which according to him is how they spent all his teen years. Fighting like crazy. It's normally projected onto me but right now I feel so free!
Thank you for showing me a new way to look at the relationship with my mother. After years of unsuccessful therapy, our sessions have allowed me to see my mother is just a person on her own journey. I can finally understand her limitations are not her fault. Since I have approached our relationship from this new point of view, I do not have anxiety when speaking to her. I also want to thank you for the advice you gave me at our last session to be grateful for her bringing me into this world.
I just wanted to say thank you. Often people offer me advice or I read recommend ideas in books that do not resonate with me. You have a way of explaining and elaborating on these ideas that I can connect with. Suddenly they make sense and I'm able to follow through and practice them. Thank you for all you offer.

Integrating behavioral health care with primary care ("behavioral health integration" or "BHI") is now widely considered an effective strategy for improving outcomes for the millions of Americans with mental or behavioral health conditions. As of January 1, 2017, Medicare makes separate payments to physicians and non-physician practitioners for BHI services they furnish to beneficiaries over a calendar month service period. Beginning January 1, 2018, these services will be reported using new CPT codes.
Additionally, in November 2017, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) published final rules that allow Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) and Rural Health Clinics (RHCs) to bill for Behavioral Health Integration services, Chronic Care Managerment, and the Collaborative Care Model.

Apple Valley Christian School in a financial fix
Rene Ray De La Cruz Staff Writer @DP_ReneDeLaCruz
Administrators are looking for ways to bolster revenue at the school that has been a High Desert fixture for four decades.
APPLE VALLEY — Christian School officials have launched the "Adopt a Student" program in an effort help fund the financially ailing organization that's been a local fixture for more than 40 years.
Apple Valley Christian School Administrator Nancy Foster said several factors have placed a financial burden on the private school and its 30-year lease, including a reduction in the number of international students, "economic downturn, past debts and the rise of free charter schools."
Out of 156 students who attend Apple Valley Christian School, several are in need of tuition assistance, placing an additional burden on the heart of Foster, who took over the administrative role just over a year ago.
Foster said 20 out of 64 families associated with AVCS have asked for tuition assistance, with some families having more than one student.
"The school encountered a dip in enrollment after John Richart stepped down from his position as administrator about two years ago and Alan Giles Jr. stepped down from the position about a year ago due to health reasons," said Foster, who also teaches sixth grade. "I guess we're still trying to establish our new foundation and identity."
When AVCS moved into its existing building about five years ago, the school board worked with the landlord to lower the monthly rent from $36,000 to $15,000 for the first year.
"But then we started to encounter several financial challenges that kept us from paying more than that $15,000 figure," said Foster, who has been with AVCS since 2004. "Now the school is struggling just to come up with the monthly rent."
After fueling the school's revenue engine for years by relying on tuition from international students, AVCS decided last year to reduce the intake of international students, said Foster, who has a master's degree in education from Azusa Pacific University.
"The school's original goal for international students was to educate them in a Christian environment as they learn our culture and language," Foster said. "But we couldn't achieve that goal with the high number of international students. We wanted our students and culture to wrap themselves around our guests and not the opposite way."
After coming aboard, Foster said she decided to give a "much-needed" raise to each of the school's 16 teachers, whom he said were not being compensated fairly.
"These teachers have worked so hard and have sacrificed so much," Foster said. "It's only fair that they're paid by California State Compliance Standards."
Foster said the Adopt a Student program gives donors the opportunity to help one student from kindergarten through high school by pledging $100 a month for the next six months.
"Each donor will receive a monthly personal update on the activities and progress of the class of their chosen student," Foster said. 'The school will be able to fully pay our lease payments if every student receives a monthly pledge."
Founded in 1976, AVCS began as a ministry of First Baptist Church on Nisqually Road in Apple Valley. The church later became Apple Valley Baptist Church and finally Redeemer Church.
The school and church went their separate ways in 2012, with church elders saying the "...the decision was made due to the financial challenges that AVCS has consistently presented over the last several years."
AVCS relocated to a facility on I Avenue in Hesperia for about two years before returning to Apple Valley, where school administrators had transformed a vacant warehouse into the existing school, which is located about a block away from its former location.
"The spiritual climate of our school is healthy and our students are receiving a quality education," Foster said. "We're just having a problem paying the bills."
For more information on the "Adopt a Student" program, contact Cherie Casey at 760-813-3232.
Checks can also be made to Apple Valley Christian School and mailed to AVCS, 22230 Ottawa Road, Apple Valley, CA 92308.

According to some people, learning a new language at a young age is beneficial for children because it enables them to enhance their communication skills and career prospects. I fully agree with this view. In my opinion, children should be encouraged to learn foreign languages at primary school itself because at this age they can learn faster and acquire proficiency with little effort.
Bilingualism and multilingualism are coveted skills that people can acquire in this globalized world and children have a greater ability to learn new languages than adults. For example, a 3 year old can learn multiple languages by simply interacting with people who speak those languages. By contrast, an adult in a similar situation has to put in considerable effort to gain even working knowledge of foreign languages. This is because children are better equipped to learn new languages and to take advantage of this natural ability they should be taught a second or third language at an early age.
Foreign language skills will only benefit the child and has no adverse impacts on them. A child who is a polyglot can survive in any foreign country. Needless to say, when he grows up he can easily get prestigious jobs in the multinational companies as he is able to interact with his colleagues using multiple languages.
In conclusion, foreign language skills are crucial in this age of globalisation and young children should be motivated to become bilingual or multilingual at an early age because they have better language learning skills than adults.

Gay dancer trapped at home with homophobic Christian parents who think he has an 'evil disease'
03/27/2020 | Pink News
A young, gay dancer has described how, because of the coronavirus lockdown, he is trapped at home with his homophobic Christian parents who believe he has an "evil disease". Sam, 23, told the BBC that the coronavirus pandemic meant the tour he was performing on was suddenly cancelled and he was forced to return to his family home. The gay dancer from Birmingham said: "I saw the career I love disappear overnight, and now I'm stuck in isolation with homophobes." He continued: "My mum says that homosexuality is an evil disease and that the devil is making me gay. She loudly prays every day that I'll be delivered from sin and find a wife.

British Airways Visa Is Possibly the Best Secret Weapon In Your Wallet
by Scott Mackenzie
In this game that we play, trying to redeem miles and points for more than the amount we paid to earn them, partner award charts offer up some of the most lucrative opportunities. Avios points from British Airways are one such example.
I wrote last week about how the Chase Sapphire Preferred is one of my top rewards cards when you want to keep things simple. However, the devil is always in the details. Depending on your travel patterns, it might make sense to use the Chase British Airways Visa instead. (Or you could get both. Ultimate Rewards points from the Sapphire Preferred can be transferred to the Avios program at a 1:1 ratio.)
Lose the Preconceptions (and the Fuel Surcharges!)
First, get over the idea that earning Avios points with British Airways means you have to actually fly on British Airways. Avios partners with Alaska Airlines and American Airlines, making it easy to redeem your Avios points on any of these carriers for flights in North America without paying fuel surcharges. You can even search for award availability on both of these carriers in one place by using the American Airlines award search tool.
I actually discourage you from using Avios for British Airways flights since they add on fuel surcharges. I had one reader ask me recently if he could use his Avios points for an economy class flight from Seattle to London. I pointed out that a paid ticket for his dates would cost only $800, but if he redeemed all his points, he would still have to pay $600 in taxes, fees, and fuel surcharges.
Now, if he were flying in a premium cabin, $600 might not be so bad compared to the $5,000 for a paid ticket. But it's generally not a smart redemption if you only have enough for economy class or don't want to pay the extra points for first or business class.
This leaves us with flights that don't include fuel surcharges, which are generally domestic flights and a number of international routes within North America, including those between the U.S., Canada, and Mexico.
Avios Really Shines on Short Routes
You might think this is a limiting feature of Avios. You don't have to use them for domestic routes, but as someone who hates fuel surcharges on principle, it's really the only option I entertain when planning my own trips.
Avios makes up for this limitation with its distance-based award chart. If you fly under 650 miles, it costs only 4,500 points one-way. It just so happens that my dad's recent trip on Alaska Airlines from Santa Rosa (STS) to Seattle falls within that range. If he had flown out of San Francisco instead, he would bounce up to the next tier (you can see the award chart in the figure below).
Amounts are one-way, calculated for each segment. (Blue = saver economy)
9,000 points round-trip is a STEAL! Do you know how much Alaska charges for a round-trip flight using its own Mileage Plan program? 25,000 miles, the same as any other domestic route. Do you know how much United charges for a round-trip flight from San Francisco to Seattle using its MileagePlus program? 20,000 miles. It's a slight discount, but nothing close to what Avios offers.
If he wanted to pay cash for those flights, departing SFO normally costs $200 and up, while Santa Rosa is typically $300 and up. It's a bad deal for earning miles because the cost can only go so low, while the miles earned are so few. And absent a period of particularly expensive fares, it's also a bad deal for redeeming miles with any program EXCEPT Avios.
Avios is also the hidden gem for cheap flights to Hawaii. Travel from the West Coast to Hawaii is another one of those routes that falls nicely into a low-cost award tier compared to most other programs.
Many airlines want you to pay 35,000 miles for travel from the continental U.S. to Hawaii. That's a good deal, I suppose, if you live in New York. If you live in California, Oregon, or Washington, fares are so cheap most of the year that I would never recommend redeeming miles for an award. But with Avios, it costs only 25,000 points. That savings of 10,000 miles/points almost makes it worth it.
Fly to Hawaii from any of these cities for only 25K Avios round-trip. (Image from GCMap.com)
I have to add a caveat to these great cheap awards from Avios. I said at the beginning that Avios works well if you want to fly nonstop. That's because if you have a connection, Avios will price each leg separately. So flying from Reno to Oakland and then to Honolulu will cost 34,000 Avios points, not 25,000, because you have to add the 9,000 points round-trip for RNO-OAK and then the 25,000 points round-trip for OAK-HNL. Sometimes it still makes sense. 34,000 points is still cheaper than 35,000 miles. But it is not quite the same deal.
Earning Is Better with Avios
The British Airways Visa doesn't have quite the same points earning potential as the Sapphire Preferred. However, it isn't bad, either. You can earn 2.5 points per dollar on flights purchased at BritishAirways.com and 1.25 points per dollar everywhere else.
By contrast, Sapphire Preferred will let you earn 2 points per dollar on all travel and restaurants, plus 1 point per dollar elsewhere and a 7% bonus at the end of the year. Yeah, Sapphire Preferred has a better category bonus, but 1.25 points on all purchases from British Airways is better than most cards.
Finally, the British Airways Visa has one of the better sign-up bonuses. Earn 50,000 Avios points when you spend $1,000 in your first 3 months of opening the account. This is on the high-end of many cards currently offering 30,000 to 50,000 points or miles. But for a limited time you can also earn a bonus 50,000 points, for a total of 100,000 Avios. Get 25,000 points when you spend $10,000 in your first 12 months and another 25,000 points when you spend a second $10,000 in the same year.
My dad wants to buy a new car soon, and he figures he ought to try to put some of the cost on a credit card. This is definitely something you can and should try to do. Just don't ask the dealer until after you negotiate a price (and pay off that balance!). Others may have business expenses or just a big grocery bill. You can get $12,000 of spend in a year without "spending" anything using Amazon Payments.
If my dad just went for the standard bonus, that's 51,250 Avios after spending $1,000. He would need only 45,000 points to book five roundtrip flights like the short Santa Rosa to Seattle trip I described at the beginning. My dad could fly the whole family up for my wedding next year.
If my dad went for the bigger bonus, that's 125,000 Avios after spending $20,000. That's enough to fly the entire family of five to Hawaii if he's willing to drive down to Oakland.What other card can you think of that lets you get so much value? Sure, you need to pick your routes carefully, but that's always been part of the game. As much as I love United, sometimes another program just makes more sense.

In December, our always-busy schedules fill even more and it is easy to let things that seem less pressing fall by the wayside. However, just because you may not feel a sense of urgency around caring for yourself in a season so focused on others, it does not mean you need to let yourself go.
Input: It is the time of year when everywhere you turn seems to reveal a cookie, and roasts are aplenty. Yet, make sure you are not filling up on only unhealthy treats. Prioritize healthy eating to keep you energized and well through this busy time of year.
Output: When there just are not enough hours in the day, it can be easy to skip a daily workout. But cutting it out will actually contribute to your stress. Make time for physical activity everyday, and your body and mind will thank you.
Stay Put: As you run from party to party, it can become easy to let your mind run ahead. Make a practice of regularly creating mental space by building yoga and meditation into your day. That way, you will stay present and not miss out on any special seasonal memories.
One Body Studios, located in La Habra, offers the pilates, yoga, and dance classes you need to keep your body and mind healthy. Call us today!

If you play field hockey you will be well aware of the speed, agility and endurance required to play the game. But did you know that when you play hockey your feet get placed heightened stress?
Because of the increased stress, your feet, ankles, knees, hips and lower back are at risk of sustaining an injury related to hockey.
What are the Risk Factors for Hockey Related Injuries?
Foot problems such as flat feet or an excessively high arched foot.
Again, like with many other sporting injuries, hockey injuries can be either be acute or chronic. We frequently see injuries relating to hockey in our clinic which usually stem from the physical demands required to play hockey combined with foot or knee joint misalignment which places increased stress on the surrounding muscles, tendons and bones.
As well as this, prolonged running on artificial turf can further contribute to overuse injuries as this surface has a reduced capacity to absorb shock.
Therefore in order to reduce your risk of injury, its important to wear shoes and insoles with good support and cushioning.
Characterised by generalized pain along the course of your shin.
You will notice that the shin will be tender when pressure is applied up and down the shin bone.
Shin splints are commonly caused by poor footwear, flat or excessively high arched feet, sudden increases in activity and hard soled shoes such as hockey cleats.
You may notice pain during the first few steps when you get out of bed and pain on standing after a period of rest.
The pain may improve after your foot warms up, only to come back towards the end of the day or during and after physical activity.
This is one of the most common causes of foot pain and it is usually the result of poor foot mechanics such as flat or excessively high arched feet.
It can also be the result of tight muscles, sudden increases in the intensity and duration of activity and non supportive footwear.
Injury to your Achilles tendon can occur as a result of excessively tight calf muscles, poor foot mechanics such as over pronation and flat feet, poor footwear, and repeated quick movements and over training.
Common symptoms experienced include stiffness in the back of your heel in the morning and during activity warm up, tenderness along your Achilles tendon to pressure, thickening and nodular appearance of the tendon that you may be able to feel if you run your finger along the length of the tendon.
In hockey, chronic and over use injuries are far more common than acute injuries and can progressively worsen to the point where you may have to stop playing hockey all together. If you have noticed a problem or an ache or niggle in your feet or ankles when your playing hockey it's important to get it looked at by a podiatrist as soon as possible. By seeking treatment early, problems such as those mentioned above usually respond very well to treatment. This means you can spend less time off the field and more time playing the sport that you love.
If you live around Innaloo, Stirling, Wembley, Churchlands, Doubleview, Osborne Park or Karrinyup, our podiatrist Dr. Stephanie Cooper would love to help fix your foot pain. You can contact her by calling us on (08) 92428566 to book an appointment. We look forward to hearing from you today!

Interesting facts about Barbados its popularity with tourists (Shutterstock)
Official name: Barbados
Capital city: Bridgetown
Area: 430 sq km
Major languages: English, Bajan
Time zone: UTC-4 (Atlantic Time Zone)
Interesting facts about Barbados
1. Barbados is an island nation located in the southeastern Caribbean Sea of North America.
2. Little of Barbados's prehistory is known, but archaeological evidence suggests it may have been settled as early as 1600 BC by people from South America who later vanished from the archaeological record.
3. From around 500 to 1500 CE, Arawak and Carib Indians likely lived on Barbados, which they called Ichirouganaim.
4. The name Barbados derives from Portuguese and means "the bearded ones". This either refers to the long, hanging roots of the island's fig trees or to the alleged beards of the native Carib inhabitants.
5. Barbados was depopulated because of repeated slave raids by the Spanish during the 16th century. It is thought that any Indians who evaded enslavement likely migrated to elsewhere in the region.
6. Barbados was uninhabited when first settled by the British in 1627.

7. British settlers then developed Barbados as a major sugar plantation economy employing slaves transported from Africa. Slavery was finally abolished in 1834 following a revolt in 1816.
8. Barbados was a huge sugar producer as the plantations flourished. Landowners imported huge numbers of African slaves. It is estimated that around 500,000 slaves worked in Barbados and the wider Caribbean. Even after the abolition of slavery, emancipated slaves had little choice but to continue working on the plantations for meagre wages.

Jake Bugg to release second album this year?

Singer discusses working with Rick Rubin on new LP
Jake Bugg could release his second studio album later this year, according to reports.
Rolling Stone claims that the Nottingham singer-songwriter told them that he had nearly finished recording the LP and that he was hopeful he cold release it by the end of 2013.
Speaking about working with producer Rick Rubin on the record, meanwhile, Bugg said: "I'll take some ideas to him and he'll be like, 'Why don't you repeat that line?' As an artist you can get quite defensive about your work. But it never feels like Rick's imposing on that. He likes to try and get the best of an artist."
Meanwhile, when asked if he was worried that he was releasing a follow-up to his debut LP too quickly, Bugg replied: "I don't really see any harm in it. It seems like the right thing to do. Might as well keep up the momentum, you know? In this time that I've been touring and traveling the world I had a lot of new experiences and opportunity. Why not write about it?"
Last month, Bugg said that it would be "dishonest" if he plundered the same lyrical themes of council estate life that featured on his self-titled first record. "I want to give an insight to the same people who liked the first record about what my life is like now," he said. "That's not really a change from my first album, because all I'm doing is writing about my life. I'd never left Nottingham when I wrote those first songs, but I've travelled the world and hopefully people can relate to what I've gone through."
Jake Bugg will tour the UK in October. The dates will follow appearances at Reading and Leeds Festivals, as well as slots supporting The Stone Roses over the summer.
Jake Bugg will play:
Bournemouth BIC (October 19)
Plymouth Pavilions (20)
Brighton Centre (22)
London Brixton O2 Academy (23)
Swindon Oasis (27)
Birmingham O2 Academy (28)
Glasgow O2 Academy (31)

One of the most important parts of sending a wedding invitation (aside from the actual who, what, when, where details of the wedding) is including the RSVP information. You want an accurate headcount of who will (or won't) be attending your big day to make sure everyone has a seat and is fed. RSVP cards are an opportunity for personalization that is often overlooked. There are infinite ways to give guests the opportunity to say "Yes," or "No," and we've explored some of our favorites.
Don't want to give your guests the easy "Yes" or "No" way out? Include a fill-in-the-blank option to make guests think on their feet and give you and your partner a chance to laugh.
Witty puns are perfect for weddings on the beach, and there are tons of possibilities. When you ask guests if they will be attending, give them the opportunity to respond with some salty(water) humor.
Sea you at the shore.
All tide up that day.
Worried your guests won't hit the dance floor at your wedding? Set the tone early by telling family and friends you want to see them on the dancefloor.
Will be dancing from my kitchen.
Add some pizazz to your invitation by letting guests tell you exactly how enthusiastic they are, and what exactly they're enthused about.
Have guests who like to party-hearty? It's okay to joke about your open bar with your guests, if you know they can all take the joke. Just maybe send a separate invitation to your grandma.
Open bar? I'll be there.
Will attend only if there is top shelf liquor available.
My booze at home is better.
There are few things more frustrating than guests saying they'll be in attendance, and then missing the night without any warning. That's an entire plate wasted which is a shame, especially if you are having a smaller or budget-friendly wedding. Let your guests know that you really want them to take their wedding invitation seriously, but lighten it with a bit of humor.
Will say I'm not coming but show up anyway.
Will say I'm coming but then change my mind at the last minute with no warning.
Will attend and will bring a date even though my invitation does not say +1 anywhere.
If a classic RSVP response is the best for you, try a standard option that gives guests a "yes," or "no," option in a formal voice.
No matter how you choose to word your RSVP, there is nothing more important than choosing the wording that is the best fit for the two of you as a couple, and your personality. Keep your audience in mind and do what makes you happy, it's your day.

Stan VanDerBeek (January 6, 1927 – September 19, 1984) was an American experimental filmmaker known for his collage works.

Life

VanDerBeek studied art and architecture at Manhattan's Cooper Union before transferring to Black Mountain College in North Carolina, where he met polymath Buckminster Fuller, composer John Cage, and choreographer Merce Cunningham. Beginning in 1949, he took two terms of photography courses from Hazel Larsen Archer at the institution.

In the 1950s, he directed independent art films while learning animation techniques and painting scenery and set designs for Winky Dink and You. His earliest films, made between 1955 and 1965, mostly consist of animated paintings and collage films, combined in a form of organic development.

VanDerBeek's ironic compositions were created very much in the spirit of the surreal and Dadaist collages of Max Ernst, but with a wild, rough informality more akin to the expressionism of the Beat Generation.

In the 1960s, VanDerBeek began working with the likes of Claes Oldenburg and Jim Dine, as well as representatives of modern dance and expanded cinema, such as Merce Cunningham and Elaine Summers. Contemporaneously, he designed shows using multiple projectors at his Movie Drome theater at Stony Point, New York. The Movie Drome was a grain silo dome which he turned into his "infinite projection screen." Visitors entered the dome through a trap-door in the floor, and were encouraged after entering to spread out over the floor and lie with their feet pointing towards the center. Once inside, the audience experienced a dynamic inter-dispersal of movies and images around them, created by over a dozen slide and film projectors filling the concave surface with a dense collage of moving imagery. These presentations contained a very great number of random image sequences and continuities, with the result that none of the performances were alike.

His desire for the utopian led him to collaborate with Ken Knowlton at Bell Labs, where dozens of computer animated films and holographic experiments were created by the end of the 1960s. These included Poem Field (1964-1968), a series of eight computer-generated animations.

During the same period, he taught at many universities, researching new methods of representation, from the steam projections at the Guggenheim Museum to the interactive television transmissions of his Violence Sonata, broadcast on several channels in 1970. He directed the University of Maryland, Baltimore County visual arts program until his death.

Family
He had two children (August, Maximus) from his marriage to Johanna Vanderbeek. Three additional children from his second marriage to Louise VanDerBeek are Julia VanDerBeek and artists Sara VanDerBeek and Johannes VanDerBeek

Legacy
His movie Breathdeath (1963)  was a huge influence on Terry Gilliam (who, nonetheless, once mistakenly referred to it as Death Breath).

VanDerBeek's work and legacy has been the focus of several retrospective exhibitions, including the following:
 Amazement Park: Stan, Sara and Johannes VanDerBeek (2009) at The Frances Young Tang Teaching Museum and Art Gallery at Skidmore College, Saratoga Springs, NY
 Stan VanDerBeek – The Cultural Intercom (2011) at MIT List Visual Arts Center, Cambridge, MA (traveled to Museum of Contemporary Art, Houston, TX)
 Jon Rafman / Stan VanDerBeek (2017) at Sprüth Magers, Los Angeles, CA, curated by Johannes Fricke Waldthausen
 VanDerBeek + VanDerBeek (2019) at Black Mountain College Museum + Arts Center, co-curated by Sara VanDerBeek and Chelsea Spengemann, Director of the Stan VanDerBeek Archive.

Sail On Sailor [Super Deluxe Edition]
Record Label: Capitol
Release Date: Dec 2, 2022
Universal acclaim - based on 6 Critic Reviews What's this?
No user score yet- Awaiting 3 more ratings
Log in to finish rating Sail On Sailor [Super Deluxe Edition]
Artist(s): Mike Love, Dennis Wilson, Blondie Chaplin, Brian Wilson
Summary: The six-disc box set features remasters of The Beach Boys' 1972 album Carl and the Passions – "So Tough" and 1973's Holland along with outtakes, recording sessions, alternative versions, and live tracks.
Genre(s): Pop/Rock, Contemporary Pop/Rock, Album Rock, Rock & Roll, AM Pop
Sail on Sailor – 1972 is a fascinating look behind the curtain at the end of the Beach Boys' most fruitful creative period.
A cappella mixes of studio material have been a hallmark of every major Beach Boys box set, and those on Sail On Sailor deliver as expected. ... Further studio outtakes underscore the group's range and versatility.
The result is a fine archival release that goes a long way toward proving that 1972 wasn't a lost year for the band and that their growing pains and tribulations make for fascinating listening.
Among the out-takes, acoustic sketches, etc here, it's the a-capella versions of various tracks that touch the most, displays of harmonic unity in the midst of disharmony. [Dec 2022, p.83]
Particularly interesting among the demos (and these really are early sketches) is the entertaining "Out In The Country" (banjos, acoustic guitars, an Eagles vibe), which is taken two radically different ways; seeming to show that the band didn't just have one route out of the perpetual summer of 1964 and into the introspective, soft-rock 1970s, they had several – this one even involving country rock. [Jan 2023, p.28]
This wasn't a tremendously fertile period for the group. Yet based on the animated gig and some inspired moments, they still sounded vital, and capable of writing impressive new music, albeit inconsistently and largely without Brian's input.


Read the Press Release on this Award Winning Retractable Canvas Dodger.
1. Convertible dodger for an Elan 38 sailboat.
2. The purpose of this dodger is to protect the entry way of the sailboat and crew from rain and waves. The client wanted to have a dodger that not only served as protection but also was aesthetic in design and enhanced the styling of the sailboat. The client also wanted the ability to retract the top section of the dodger but leave the windshield section intact which would allow more air flow and light to enter the cockpit.
4. The results of the project were great. The overall form of the dodger was streamline and helped enhance the styling of this sleek sailboat. The client commented on the fact that the sailboat looked better with the dodger on then without. The functionality of the dodger was excellent, by the simple act of pulling two pins in the frame, the dodger would retract forward.

Surrounded by young stars, Spezza wants to be veteran voice with Leafs
The impact that veteran leaders had on his early career remain equally fresh in his 36-year-old mind. It wasn't so much what they did, but how they did it.
36-year-old benefited from the guidance of great leaders when he started out in NHL
Joshua Clipperton · The Canadian Press · Posted: Sep 18, 2019 3:46 PM ET | Last Updated: September 18, 2019

Jason Spezza remembers what it was like being a young star in the NHL — the demands, the pressure, the expectations.
That's part of the package Spezza's hoping to bring to the Toronto Maple Leafs after signing with his hometown team for the league minimum in free agency this summer.
Selected second overall at the 2001 NHL draft, the flashy centre with silky-smooth hands had all the tools when he first walked into the Ottawa Senators' locker room.
Senators win defensive battle against Leafs in pre-season opener
Soaking up the knowledge offered him by the team's veterans is what he credits with keeping him in the game long enough to see an 18th professional season.
"I had great leaders ... Daniel Alfredsson, Chris Phillips, Curtis Leschyshyn, Bryan Smolinski," Spezza recalled at the start of Leafs training camp. "They were just every-day pros, and that taught me to be an every-day pro.
"I think that's why I've been able to play for so long."
Roster loaded with young star power
And on a roster in Toronto loaded with young star power like Auston Matthews and Mitch Marner — 22-year-old forwards carrying burdens not unlike what Spezza experienced in the nation's capital — he's ready to help.
"It's almost like a 'pay-it-forward' thing," Spezza said. "Now it's your job to show the way."
Born in Toronto and raised in nearby Mississauga, Ont., Spezza had a difficult final two seasons with the Dallas Stars before signing with the Leafs, putting up just 26 and 27 points, including eight goals in each campaign.
He's scored 332 times and registered 915 points in 1,065 regular-season games with Ottawa and Dallas to go along with 70 points (25 goals, 45 assists) in 80 playoff outings.
But long gone are the days of Spezza putting up 80-plus points as a No. 1 centre. He knows his role will be much different in Toronto — he got a taste of it last season in Dallas when he was bumped to the bottom-6 forward group.

"At first it's a difficult transition when you're used to kind of being 'The Guy' and you're judged by how you're producing offensively," he said. "It becomes a reality of how you're going to contribute. Once you get comfortable with it, it becomes easier."
Spezza's made nearly $90 million US in his career, so it goes without saying the six-foot-three, 215-pound forward didn't come home for the $700,000 heading his way in 2019-20.
It's about legacy and getting what could be one last opportunity at hoisting the Stanley Cup after getting agonizingly close when Ottawa lost to Anaheim in the 2007 final.
"It gives me a chance to play on a team that has a real chance to win," Spezza said. "It's an exciting core."
Leafs head coach Mike Babcock has sent mixed signals about Spezza in recent days, but it's believed along with providing depth up front and helping in the faceoff circle, he'll be tasked with bolstering the team's No. 2 power-play unit that struggled to create last season.
'There's a role here for him'
"There's a role here for him, but he's got to be able to do it," Babcock told reporters in St. John's, N.L., earlier this week. "We're just in the process of feeling him out, and he's in the process of feeling us out."
Stan Butler coached Spezza when he was an underage star at 15 with the Brampton Battalion in the Ontario Hockey League, and the two have remained close.
Butler pumped the brakes a little on the idea that Spezza would ever be a defence-first player, but said that doesn't mean he can't be valuable if used properly.
"Most NHL teams now want four lines that can score," said Butler, who currently heads the OHL's North Bay Battalion. "No team's more into analytics than the Leafs.
"I'm sure somewhere, somehow something's come up favourable on him and having him in whatever role they envision."
Butler added Toronto will be getting the best Jason Spezza the player can provide at this stage of his career.

"If he didn't think he could do it, he wouldn't do it," Butler said. "There's two motivations for him to play in Toronto. One is he'd love to finally win a Cup. And two, that he's going to play in his hometown.
"When you're a Toronto kid, there's something special there."
Leafs centre John Tavares, who himself came home last summer in free agency, said Spezza's impact will be important after veterans Patrick Marleau and Ron Hainsey moved on this summer.
"Spezz is going to be able to relate in very similar ways to our group," Tavares said. "His skill set and his desire to be here and fit a role and come be a part of this, I think speaks volumes."
Dallas sniper Tyler Seguin said in August after Spezza signed with the Leafs that he'll miss bouncing ideas off his older teammate in both good times and bad.
The veteran centre will no doubt be there to do the same if Matthews, Marner or another young Leaf comes calling.
"It was a very important part of my development to have good leaders around me," Spezza said. "Now you try to give that back."

Newport Jazz And Folk Festivals Partner With Dice For Digital Ticketing
Posted on 5 January, 2022, 02:10 pm EST by CelebrityAccess Staff Writers Contact Me
NEWPORT, RI (CelebrityAccess) — Organizers for the iconic Newport Folk and Newport Jazz festivals announced they will be bringing digital ticketing to the events for the first time through a new partnership with ticketing and music discovery platform Dice.
"Every year of the event, we work with our partners to innovate beyond traditional ticketing," says Jay Sweet, Executive Producer of Newport Folk. "The most important thing to us is that the fans have a fantastic experience and we know that experience starts long before doors open to our event. In a year where fans deserve to get out and go see the music they love, we know DICE is the right partner to make things as easy as possible, fair, transparent and intuitive for our Newport Family. We want these tickets in the hands of our fans and not on the secondary market."
"Newport Folk and Jazz Festivals have an unmatched legacy as two of the most celebrated music events in US history and it's an honor for DICE to be named their partner," added DICE President Russ Tannen. "At DICE we love working with the most ambitious operators in the world, whether that's rising independent venues through to legendary festivals that continue to push the boundaries."
The Newport Jazz and Folk Festivals, created by George Wein in 1954 and 1959 respectively, are two of the longest-running music festivals in the U.S., and have provided a stage for career defining performances by artists such as Bob Dylan, Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Pete Seeger, Joni Mitchell, and numerous others.
Jay Sweet joined the organization in 2008 and has helped both festivals attain the rare status of events that sell out completely months before the lineup is announced.
