As a dietary supplement, mix 1/2 scoop in 4 oz. of water or your favorite beverage 30 minutes before exercise and 1/2 scoop post-workout.
Kre-Alkalyn Powder is an effective alternative to creatine monohydrate for those seeking the ultimate in ergogenics and one that is both extensively validated by numerous scientific studies as well as enabling you to use creatine at a much lower dose than creatine monohydrate due to its ability to survive the harsh environment in your stomach more effectively. Kre-Alkalyn Powder can help improve strength and increase lean mass.
Kre-Alkalyn Powder, much like regular creatine, can be used all year round for optimal results.
A safe, natural and informed choice supplement screened for banned substances, anyone can use Kre-Alkalyn Powder to improve their fitness.
All American EFX is a brand defined by their supplement Kre-Alkalyn, a form of creatine which has a US patent on it for its ability to maximise the benefits associated with creatine. This new powder version of Kre-Alkalyn means there is no more need to swallow multiple capsules to get the benefits of Kre-Alkalyn, you can now simply add a scoop of this to a drink and get your daily dose quickly and simply.
Kre-Alkalyn is a form of creatine which has been shown in research to increase strength by 28% more than regular creatine via its ability to supply to creatine to the body in a stable pH-correct formulation designed to combat the highly acidic environment found in your stomach.
With no bloat, no loading phase and a lower dose needed, Kre-Alkalyn users can get away with a much lower dose of creatine compared to the more commonly found creatine monohydrate making this an ideal choice for those with sensitive stomachs who can find monohydrate uncomfortable to take.


My experience on a Yellowstone snowcoach tour is brought to you today by Yellowstone Vacations.
Yellowstone is astoundingly beautiful. I have written this many a time and I will probably write it again. The hubby and I took a Yellowstone snowcoach tour into our country's first National Park with Yellowstone Vacations and it was delightful. I must note that this was not my first time into this Park and if I am lucky it will not be my last. Truth be told we were quite torn between that area of Montana and the town where we ultimately settled when we decided to settle in what is now our home.
The park stays open even in the big snows of winter and will remain so through March 17th so there is still plenty of time to get into Yellowstone and see all of the scenery and wildlife. It's a completely different park in the winter than it is in the summer and I honestly can't say which I like better.
Enjoy Yellowstone's most popular tour, offered daily. Here, you'll visit the world's most concentrated geothermal area with knowledgeable local guides. Tours can include stops at Madison Junction, Fountain Paint Pot, Fountain Flat Road and Biscuit Basin, and lots of wildlife stops. We also allow for lunch and sightseeing time at Old Faithful.
Visit Yellowstone's Grand Canyon and see the Lower Falls. Experience the Park's hottest and most dynamic geyser basin, Norris Geyser Basin, and Steamboat Geyser (the world's largest active geyser). Also, you'll discover abundant wildlife at Gibbon Falls and Beryl Spring. This tour is offered Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday. Boxed Lunches are required.
Let us help create a custom or theme tour for your school, group or family. Enjoy the flexibility of choosing your departure time, destinations, how much time you want to spend at each stop.
*Information from the Yellowstone Vacations site. Subject to change.
The hubby and I were on the Old Faithful Explorer trip. After we got all settled in the comfortable coach – I will admit to needing a bit of a push up the steps – we headed into the park. It wasn't long before we saw some bison. In my experience bison are the most frequently seen animals in the park. They are truly amazing animals; they look slow and stupid but they can come to life in a minute and they can reach speeds of up to 30mph. A bull can weigh up to 2,000 pounds. One should never treat a bison lightly.
Pretty stunning, right? I'll tell you there is really something about staring down into pools of water ranging in temperature from 70° to 200° while standing in a snowstorm in 20° weather.
The colors you see are true as well, despite it being a rather grey day there was much color to be found in the park.
In addition to the overwhelmingly beautiful scenery in Yellowstone it is also a place where you are bound to encounter many species of wildlife. Just on this one day in the park we saw bison, elk, coyotes, ravens, swans, bald eagles, mallards and Canada geese. In the spring and summer there are more animal sightings but there are also a LOT more people so it can take some of the enjoyment out of the visit. We also saw many wolf tracks but we never actually saw the wolves.
The Yellowstone snowcoach tour took us to Old Faithful so we could stop for lunch, check out the visitor center and then watch the famous geyser erupt. We arrived just as Old Faithful was putting on its act so it would be about an hour before the next show so we went to the Grizzly Cafe for our lunch. I had a cheeseburger and the hubby had a bison bratwurst; it was some of the best food we had during our stay in West Yellowstone. My burger was perfectly seasoned and he loved his bratwurst. The staff were super friendly and the place was spotless. The gift shop had a lot of fun and different souvenirs (be sure to keep reading my Yellowstone stories. I'm going to have a giveaway next week!). The Old Faithful Visitor Center had quite a few interactive displays and it was fun to go through and learn more about this amazing park, but soon it was time to go out and wait for the geyser. A ranger gave an informative talk prior to Old Faithful putting on its show.
If you watch the video you can see part of Old Faithful's eruption plus the rest of our fun on our Yellowstone snowcoach tour.
After our stop at Old Faithful we took an unexpected turn. In the winter snowcoaches are allowed to the wrong way on the road through the Madison River Valley. It gives the visitor a different view from what they would see in the summer. The vistas were gorgeous with the fast moving river and the snow covered mountainsides. We stopped at one point to take pictures of a waterfall (you can see it in the video above) that was really rushing. It was truly magical to stand and watch the river while the snow fell all around me.
All good things, as they say, must come to an end and so did our trip into this magnificent park. It was a full day of exploring with plenty of time for picture taking. Our guide Jon, was very knowledgeable about the Park's history and it's geology. He was able to answer any questions that came his way. He was friendly and available when you needed assistance.
The coach was comfortable which is important when you are going to be riding for many hours. I read on the company's Facebook page about the windows fogging up and this did happen at the very start of the tour but the windows soon cleared and it wasn't a problem for long. If you sit on the left side of the bus you might feel as if you are missing out on all of the good views but you go back out the same way you came in so you will get to see them as you leave. Plus the stunning views of the Madison River Valley are on the left side so now you know a secret.
Everyone I spoke to at Yellowstone Vacations was friendly and eager to help. I would most assuredly work with them the next time I go back down to my favorite National Park.

Using the Survey of Consumer Finances, I calculated various wealth series for young families with heads below the age of 35.
Here is median net worth for young families. I include both the net worth concept used by the Federal Reserve and a modified net worth concept that excludes vehicles. Insofar as vehicles are rapidly depreciating consumer durables, many argue that they should not be counted as assets for these purposes. Without these vehicles, the median young family had a net worth of $1,250 in 2016. This was down from the $7,846 peak in 1995.
The next graph provides greater detail for the mean wealth of young families. It shows the value of various assets that go into calculating mean wealth. One major trend here was the run up of home values just before the Great Recession. In 2007, the mean young family had primary residence assets equal to $113,079. In 2016, they only had primary residence assets equal to $69,076.
Another major debt trend is student debt. This is better seen in the graph below, which shows how debt levels have changed in percent terms since 1989. Student debt increased over this period by 702%. The next closest debt category was vehicle debt, which only increased by 40.7%.
Younger people have lower incomes, higher debts, and virtually no wealth to speak of. They have seen their schooling not pay off and spent the entirety of their young working life in an economy operating below full employment. You don't need to be an economic reductionist to understand why they were primed for Bernie Sanders and why so many view "socialism" favorably.


It's hard to believe but summer is starting to wind down. The kids will be going back to school soon or have already started. Many places have been experiencing triple digit weather. We hit it once, but a lot of 90's. When the weather gets hot we're always looking for ways to cool off. One way is what you eat or drink. Ice tea, lemonade or other cold beverage of choice. Ice cream is always welcome in the summer.
Thinking of ice cream, I remembered a few years ago when I took some pictures of our grandchildren eating ice cream. Our granddaughter Miranda & family were visiting from California. She and her cousin Rex had an enjoyable and messy time eating ice cream.
There are times when you just let kids enjoy themselves and then hose them off.
Here's another garden project that we did several years after we moved into our house. My husband designed and built a bridge. It doesn't really go anywhere or serve a functional purpose. We just did it for fun.
I should take back the comment about the bridge not having a functional purpose. Because it has served in other capacities besides just walking over.
As a place to sled when our grandson was 3 years old (2010).
lovely. Besides rain on your wedding day means good luck.
This year the bridge needed painting. After we did that we added some solar lights to the posts. It makes a lovely addition to our night time garden.
I think my next project for the bridge will be to add a sign post. I can put how many miles to different destinations. Even if the bridge doesn't really go anywhere, you will be able to pretend that it does.
A thought to ponder: In the moment of crisis the wise build bridges and the foolish build dams.
In June I took a week long trip to New York City with my daughter. I had never been so I was excited for a new adventure. It was a great trip and I have about 390 photos to prove it. I thought about doing this post on my whole trip. But really the only people you inflict with that many travel photos are your family and your best friend. Although I will share some. Like this one of me at the top of the Empire State building.
I got to thinking about travel in general and in particular who you travel with. You can of course travel by yourself. But it is nice to have someone with whom you can share the experience. My husband is not fond of air travel, but he's a great partner on road trips and we've had many over the years.
I've been fortunate to have several other great family travel partners. In 2011 it was my sister Chris on a trip to Costa Rica.
In 2008 it was a trip to Greece with my niece Katrina (my sister's daughter).
In 1998 in was a train trip through the Copper Canyon in Mexico with my nephew Danny (sister's son).
My first mother-daughter trip with my daughter Casie was in 1996 to Hawaii.
A mother-daughter trip with my mother in 1993. We took a trip to Louisiana and enjoyed the sights around Baton Rouge and New Orleans.
I think it probably goes without saying an important prerequisite for a travel partner is that they love to travel. But even more important is that you both can agree on what you want to see and do. I've been lucky in that all my travel partners have been easy going companions who were up for the adventure. Some of my trips have been tours, so a good portion of the trip is planned for you. But there has always been free time also. Other trips have been self planned. Like the trip to Louisiana. I did the research on things to see and my mother (who was game for anything) was happy to go along. The trip to Hawaii I let my daughter make the arrangements. My only request was that we see the Arizona memorial at Pearl Harbor. We had a lovely trip visiting Maui and Oahu.
When the opportunity came to make the trip to New York I asked my daughter if she would like to be my travel partner again. My husband, who as I said doesn't like flying and he'd been years ago, declined. He said he didn't loose anything there. Although Casie had been to the city many times before it was always on business. She had never really had the opportunity to see the sights and be a tourist. So the end of June we met up in New York City (she lives in LA).
This was a tour group but with plenty of opportunity to explore on our own also.
How could we not see this Lady.
So much to see. You really need several days.
We had a wonderful and full week in New York City. In that time we walked a little over a 100,000 steps or about 45 miles. Even with taking the subway you better like to walk. The pictures I've showed you are just a few of the things we did while there. We also went to Rockefeller Center, Plaza Hotel, FAO Swartz, Lincoln Center, Chelsea Market, Soho, Greenwich Village, Little Italy, Chinatown, Radio City Music Hall, and saw two Broadway musicals; Aladdin and Mama Mia.
My daughter is a real foodie and loves the Food Network, in particular Anthony Bourdain. One thing she really wanted to do while in New York was visit his restaurant Brasserie Les Halles. Since it wasn't far from our hotel we walked over and had a glass of wine.
We did a lot during our visit but I'm sure we only scratched the surface. There is so much to do and see in New York City. I'll bet many of the people who live there haven't even seen it all. It was a wonderful week spent with a wonderful travel partner.
A thought to ponder: Certainly travel is more than the seeing of sights; it is a change that goes on deep and permanent, in the ideas of living.

Paradise Lost Book 9: Line 13-19 - Summary
SAD TASK.....AND CYTHEREA'S SON (LINES 13-19)
Milton's theme is the Fall of Man. It is a sad task, to dilate on it, because it bears on Man's incidence to sin, suffering and death. But it is a nobler and superior theme, better fitted for epic treatment than the squabbles among men and gods mandated in the well-known classical epics of Homer and Virgil.
The subject of Homer's 'Iliad' is the wrath of Achilles and his slaying of Hector who had killed Achilles' friend Patroclus. Hector was so awe-struck by the avenging fury of Achilles that he ran thrice around Troy before picking up enough courage to fight his pursuer and die gloriously. The subject of Virgil's Aeneid is the wrath of Juno, Queen of the Heavens, on Aeneas, the son of venus or, as she was also called Cytherea, and the principal episode of the poem is the fight between Aeneas and Tunius over Lavinia who had been promised separately in marriage to each of them. The next allusion is to the wrath of Neptune the sea-god, who caused great suffering to king Odysseus during his journey homeward after the victory of the Greeks in Troy, which is the subject of Homer's Odysseus. Homer and Virgil were taken up exclusively by human or divine wrath and its unseemly consequences. Milton will choose a different theme, sad though it might be. The pity of man's subjection to sin and his fortitude in bearing its consequences are more truly tragic and heroic than the pomp and circumstances of classical epics.

Tumor development is angiogenesis dependent, and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is a key growth factor in this process. We demonstrate that high expression of VEGF mRNA in 55 superficial bladder cancers was associated with earlier recurrence (P = 0.001; hazard ratio, 3.09) and progression to a more invasive phenotype (P = 0.02; hazard ratio, 5.33). VEGF mRNA expression correlated with protein levels in superficial tumors (r = 0.59, P = 0.003) and normal bladder (r = 0.65, P < 0.05), although the ratio of VEGF protein to mRNA was elevated in tumors compared to normal bladder (P = 0.004), suggesting posttranscriptional regulation. In this study, VEGF is implicated as a major downstream mediator of the effects of the p53 tumor suppressor gene by the association between high p53 protein (determined immunochemically) and high VEGF protein and mRNA expression (P < 0.02), although in cases without high p53 protein expression, high VEGF mRNA also predicts a poor prognosis. The relationship between VEGF and early tumor recurrence suggests that seeding via angiogenesis may be a major mechanism in the pathogenesis of recurrence. These studies indicate that VEGF can predict the behavior of superficial bladder tumors and is a therapeutic target for intravesical therapy.

Amazon recently sent a letter to their regular clientele and removed the option on their website for UK clients to receive free delivery on items which cost less than ten pounds. The article on The Guardian explains why Amazon has made the changes to their free delivery.
There are ways to overcome these charges, like purchasing items which do not qualify for free delivery along with items that do qualify for free delivery. Although times are tough it is understandable that Amazon does need to charge for items which only cost a couple of pound to be delivered as delivery charges of cheap items do eat into profits.

Cliqa
"I started Cliqa with my co-founders to solve a basic need for us immigrants in the US."
Edgar Navas | Founder and CEO of Cliqa Inc.
Edgar Navas is the founder and CEO of Cliqa Digital Inc, a technology company based in Portland, Oregon. Its mission is to serve immigrant communities by keeping them connected both financially and emotionally with their often-distant families and to inspire them at a time when anti-immigrant rhetoric is at an all-time high.
Edgar has a degree in economics and finance from Texas State University and also holds an MBA in international economics, a degree that took him to Europe and to a stint with the World Trade Organization. His corporate background includes extensive work in the telecom industry.
Edgar started Cliqa Inc four-and-a-half years ago, after he observed with alarm the inner workings of the long-distance calling card business, with its countless fees and dodgy rules that allowed card balances to expire quickly. Knowing the telecom business inside out, he decided to step in and change it.
The company started as a technology tool to help immigrants access services that usually were available only at physical shops, with many layers of overhead and costs that were passed down to the customers. Cliqa brought those services to the users with a digital platform that reduced the cost effectively and substantially.
Cliqa services ranged from digital rechargeable phone cards for international calling to financial solutions. With Cliqa's tools, an immigrant could help a loved one back home by, for example, covering an equivalent of a US $15 mobile phone bill without using expensive international money transfer services better suited for much higher sums.
The platform has grown to serve many Latin American countries and now has more than 80,000 users.
Edgar broadened his efforts by applying the company's technology expertise to the growing social media space and monetizing existing networks. The result is a digital platform to inspire and inform the Latino community: Cliqa Digital Media. Partnering with social media influencers, the platform promotes events, new products and services, entertainment, news, and even get-out-the-vote campaigns.
Cliqa Digital Media campaigns have helped clients dramatically increase their reach to the Latino market. Using its capacity for digital analysis and communication strategies, the platform's accounts have grown to 30 million followers, with one channel drawing up to 4 million impressions per month.
Monetizing this activity requires a network of social media profiles, landing pages, and a system to convert traffic into verifiable data that can start a two-way conversation between a client and a potential customer, while at the same time respecting privacy rules. The wealth of data makes Cliqa Digital Media a massive digital asset and a formidable vehicle to link up with a diverse LatinX audience.

Nintedanib plus Docetaxel an Effective Combination in Patients with Advanced Non–Small-Cell Lung Cancer
Jayson Slotnik, JD, MPH
March 2014, Vol 5, No 2 - In the Literature
Currently, the US Food and Drug Administration–approved second-line treatments for non–small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) include monotherapy with docetaxel (Taxotere), erlotinib (Tarceva), or pemetrexed (Alimta). A recent phase 3 clinical trial explored the safety and efficacy of nintedanib (Vargatef)—a potent oral angiokinase inhibitor—in combination with docetaxel, as a second-line treatment in patients with NSCLC (Reck M, et al. Lancet Oncol. 2014;15:143-155).
14 patients were randomized to receive nintedanib and docetaxel (ie, treatment group) or docetaxel and placebo (ie, placebo group). The primary end point was PFS, as assessed by central independent review. The key secondary end point was OS. The OS was assessed in the following order: first, in patients with adenocarcinoma who progressed within 9 months of starting first-line therapy; second, in all patients with adenocarcinoma; and third, in all patients, regardless of histology.
After a median follow-up of 7.1 months, the median PFS was 3.4 months in the treatment group compared with 2.7 months in the placebo group (P = .001). After a median follow-up of 31.7 months, the OS of patients with adenocarcinoma histology who progressed within 9 months of starting first-line therapy was 10.9 months versus 7.9 months in the placebo group (P = .007). Furthermore, in all patients with adenocarcinoma, the median OS was 12.6 months in the treatment group and 10.3 months in the placebo group (P = .035).
Although treatment with nintedanib plus docetaxel had a significant effect on OS in patients with adenocarcinoma histology who progressed within 9 months of first-line therapy and in all patients with adenocarcinoma, no difference in OS was found between the 2 groups when all patients were assessed independent of histology results.
AEs that were more common in the treatment group than in the placebo group included diarrhea, increases in alanine and in aspartate aminotransferase, nausea, decreased appetite, and vomiting. Most of these AEs were managed with supportive care or with dose reduction.
The authors concluded that nintedanib plus docetaxel combination may be an appropriate second-line treatment option for all patients with NSCLC and is particularly effective in patients with adenocarcinoma histology.

Childhood Cancer Survivors at Risk for GI Cancers Later in Life: Screening Recommended
In childhood cancer survivors, subsequent malignant neoplasms are a leading cause of premature death, second only to recurrence of the primary cancer. The Childhood Cancer Survivor Study included a cohort of 14,337 childhood cancer survivors (which is believed to be the largest cohort of this type) and assessed the risk for gastrointestinal (GI) malignant neoplasms in this population (Henderson TO, et al. Ann Intern Med. 2012;156:757-766).

Finasteride Does Not Affect Survival Rates in Prostate Cancer
Widespread adoption of prostate- specific antigen (PSA) screening has been associated with a 44% reduction in prostate cancer mortality. Although early detection of prostate cancer with PSA testing may lead to reduced mortality, it also leads to significant overdetection of cancer. Another approach that complements early detection is prostate cancer prevention. The use of finasteride, a 5-alpha reductase inhibitor, was evaluated in the Prostate Cancer Prevention Trial (PCPT).

Q: C++ Use std::map.count with array as key of map I have created a map where a byte array is used as the key, and the frequency of occurrences of the given array is used as the value. I have to do it without using the Qt framework.
In Qt, this code works:
if (!mapa.count(byteArray)) mapa.insert(byteArray, 1);
else mapa[byteArray]++;

But my code doesn't work.
byte byteArray[16];
map<byte(*)[16], int> mapa;
if (!mapa.count(&byteArray)) {
    mapa.insert(pair<byte(*)[16], int>(&byteArray, 1));
}
else {
    mapa[&byteArray]++;
}

In my case, the program uses the address of the array, not its data.

A: When you create an array like this: byte arr[16], you actually create 16 bytes in the RAM and store them one next to the other.
Because of that, the name of the array is actually a pointer to the array's first element, because a pointer to the first element will actually point to the start of the array.
So, if you create a map where the key is like this byte(*) [16], you are not referring to an array of bytes, but to an array of pointers (which can also be an array of array's - two dimensional array) .
So when you create a map, you need to write byte* to refer to a byte pointer.
byte byteArray[16];
std::map<byte*, int> mapa;

if(maps.count(byteArray) == 0)
   //do something
else
   //do something else

TWIN PEAKS – KZNPO REVIEW BY WILLIAM CHARLTON-PERKINS
(William Charlton-Perkins. Pic by Clinton Marius)
William Charlton-Perkins reviews the opening Spring Season concert of the KwaZulu-Natal Philharmonic Orchestra's 2018 Word Symphony Series ON November 1, 2018, in the Durban City Hall.
American maestro William Eddins, Music Director Emeritus of the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra, returned to the KZN Philharmonic podium to launch the season with a programme comprising just two works. The conductor made his bow alongside the gifted young American violinist Rachel Lee Priday, with a commanding performance of Brahms's Violin Concerto that left the audience in no doubt why this young soloist is famed for her beauty of tone.
(Rachel Lee Priday)
Priday demonstrated deep introspection in the tenderness of her playing, delivering a performance that married meditation with thrilling bravura, as she engaged hand-in-glove with Eddins and his finely responsive KZNPO forces. Dispatching the great work's combative fortissimo climbs in the outer movements with seeming abandon, she made time stand still in the rapture of its glorious adagio, joining in on high with that ethereal chorus of winds which ushers in one of Brahms's most sublime moments.
(William Eddins)
The second half of the evening was given over to Sibelius's three-movement Fifth Symphony. Sibelius was commissioned to write this work by the Finnish government in honour of his 50th birthday, which was declared a national holiday. Originally composed in 1915, it was revised in 1916 and again in 1919. During the composition phase, Sibelius wrote in his diary: "It is as if God Almighty had thrown down pieces of a mosaic for heaven's floor and asked me to find out what was the original pattern".
After grappling with the work through its try-out phases, the composer's final outcome is certainly one of the most profoundly absorbing works in the repertoire - massively occluded clouds that overhang the densely tumultuous writing of its opening movement giving way with intense originality to the magical second movement's delicate pizzicato strings, hypnotically engaging with long-held winds and brass; then eerily rushing strings and abrasive tutti joining forces in a finale of extreme contrast.
The stark soundscape of this score like none other was superbly executed, from first to last. The evening's meagre audience who braved the inclement weather were well rewarded. – William Charlton-Perkins

The Bukas Palad Music Ministry (Filipino for "generous"; literally, "open palm") is a Roman Catholic, contemporary worship musical group in the Philippines that composes, records, and performs original religious music. Since 1986, Bukas Palad has recorded over a dozen albums with the Jesuit Music Ministry of Jesuit Communications Foundation, a ministry of the Philippine Province of the Society of Jesus, based in Ateneo de Manila University. The group has performed in over a hundred solo concerts across the country and overseas in Japan, Hong Kong, the United States, and Canada.

History
Norman Agatep, Jandi Arboleda, and Rev Fr. Manoling Francisco SJ began writing liturgical songs as high school students. Their songs were eventually popularised through use in Catholic Masses and other liturgical services nationwide.

After Francisco joined the Society of Jesus in 1986, Agatep and Arboleda gathered some friends to sing at a wedding. This group continued singing and soon recorded their first album of original songs, entitled "Bukas Palad", which also became the group's name.

Music
Bukas Palad has produced well over a hundred original liturgical and inspirational songs composed by Agatep, Arboleda, Francisco, and other members, as well as setting text to music like various Biblical passages and religious poems. Very few of Bukas Palad's members received formal musical training, yet over the years they have become a significant force in the Filipino music industry.

The group has also written hymns popular in the Philippines, such as "Hindî Kitá Malílimutan" ("I Will Not Forget You"), "Tanging Yaman" ("Only Treasure"), "Sa 'Yo Lamang" ("Only Yours"), "Anima Christi", "Humayo't Ihayág" ("Go Forth and Proclaim") and "I Will Sing Forever". Many of their musical settings for portions of the Mass, such as the Gloria, the Lord's Prayer, and the Agnus Dei, are popular throughout the country. Popular Filipino artists like Lea Salonga, Regine Velasquez, Gary Valenciano, Basil Valdez, Jamie Rivera, Joey Albert, Cooky Chua, and Noel Cabangon have also covered and popularised the group's songs.

Bukas Palad has been featured in various media including radio, television, and film. Bukas Palad pieces have become theme songs and spawned films and television shows, such as the film Tanging Yaman and the 2010 series, and the 2010 film Sa 'Yo Lamang.

The group conducts liturgical music workshops for parish communities and choral groups, as well as outreach activities for the marginalised like the elderly, orphans, the sick, and the imprisoned.

Outside of liturgical use, Bukas Palad is also a highly acclaimed performing group, having staged concerts in churches, theatres, concert halls, convention centers, and shopping malls.

NEW SNP MP Neil Gray, who overturned a majority of more than 12,000 in a former Labour stronghold, insisted that witnessing his constituents in tears in utter desperation with no food or a penny in their pockets made him even more determined to battle against crippling Tory welfare cuts.
The 29-year-old MP for Airdrie and Shotts said he and his SNP colleagues at Westminster will fight "tooth and nail" against the cuts and plans to scrap the Human Rights Act.
As he headed for the Commons for a series of inductions yesterday, Gray recalled speaking to local people before he was elected.
"I had people sitting across the table from me in surgeries in tears in utter desperation with not an ounce of food on the table, not a penny in their wallet because of idealogical political decisions taken by the Tories that are absolutely hammering ordinary people's lives, people who have fallen on hard times and need the support of the state," he said.
"These are honest people who just need a bit of a helping hand. These cuts don't need to be made, that was made clear during the election, the Tories just want to make them.
"They are absolutely ruthless. It is disgusting especially as I'm walking up through the streets of London and I see the money that's flowing through this place; there is clearly a need to redistribute some of the wealth in certain parts of the country.
"I will fight it 100 per cent and so will my colleagues.
Born and brought up in the Orkney Isles, Gray moved to the central belt when attending Stirling University from 2004, where he gained a first class degree in politics and journalism.
He worked as journalist for the BBC and local newspaper titles before moving to the SNP's press and research office in Holyrood.
Father of nine-month-old Isla and husband of Karlie, 28, Gray was also employed by Neil in his constituency office in August 2008, becoming his office manager in 2011.
He was a keen athlete, representing Scotland at the 400m, until a serious knee injury ended his career but he hasn't given up completely as he still runs long distance events including the most recent ultra marathon in 2013.
Since he defeated Labour opponent Pamela Nash last week, Gray said it has been "busy, hectic, overwhelming, unbelievable and fantastic".
Gray put his election win down to the hard work of his campaign team and said his inspiration came from MSP Neil, the Social Justice Secretary and former Health Minister.


I receive many questions from my readers. I will attempt to answer all of them... most of them... some of them here. Feel free to ask me more.
Just like anything in life, if you train for it, you get better. I forced myself to seek and handle rejections for over 100 days, and documented my progress and learning. Now I feel like a rejection ninja. My training provided me with a set of tools to use after hearing the word NO, and gave me a better chance to turn that NO into a YES. For example: here I was able to turn a rejection for a free night at a hotel into a nap in one of their rooms. To learn more about these tools, buy my book here. Both you and my publisher will be happy.
As I've become more successful, I haven't experienced less rejection at all. If anything, I've experienced a lot more because I make more impactful requests on a daily basis, and people reject me all the time. Some people think the more successful you've become, the more YESes you will get. It is true, but you will also get more NOs. The impact of your request grows with your success and ambition. Think about it, Donald Trump was rejected by a few folks here and there before he ran for President. Now that he has won, a lot more folks are rejecting and hating him. (No, this is not a political statement. It is a fact for all presidents and people with impact).
Find your passion: I can relate to this question, because I overslept all the time and was even depressed when I wasn't passionate about my life and my job. Since then, I found my purpose through entrepreneurship and especially Rejection Therapy, life is now full of zest.
Make your goals public: when you make your private goals public by telling your family, friends and anyone who would listen, you create pressure for yourself and eliminate excuses for not going after your dreams.
Give yourself deadlines: Napoleon Hill once said "A goal is a dream with a deadline". By having public goals with hard, make-or-break deadlines, you become desperate, in a good way. This type of desperation brings out the most productive and creative part of you.
Do these and you will become much more excited about life. Oh, also go to bed early!
Filming my experience was tough at the beginning. If I did it overtly, it would change people's reaction when they noticed they were being filmed. If I used a secret camera to hide the filming, I wouldn't feel good about it myself since I would have felt like a spy.
So I concocted a way to film my rejection sessions without either overtly showing or hiding. I hung my phone on a lanyard and wore it on my neck, and plugged in my earbuds. Then I pressed record. So most people simply thought I was just a strange guy with no fashion sense by carrying an iPhone in a dorky way. A few people got curious and asked me if I were filming, I always said YES and it was for my blog. No one cared.


Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway Energy is looking to potentially extract large amounts of lithium from its Salton Sea geothermal plants and Tesla is reportedly in talks to be a customer. Berkshire has denied that any agreement is in place but left open the possibility that talks could be underway.
Tesla tried and failed to buy a lithium startup in the Salton Sea for $325 million back in 2014 because they couldn't agree on a price. Maybe this time could be different with Tesla being in a completely different position than it was back in 2014 and the deep pockets of Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway also being involved.
@Brian W oh wow - this could be huge for Tesla. We'll see if the deals take place and they come to an agreement. With Giga China turning on very soon - production is going to pick up quite a bit.

Had the opportunity to hear author Lac Su speak on his memoir, I Love Yous Are For White People, a few days ago at Cal State L.A. and the LA Times Festival of Books.
I was totally mesmerized with his story, a true one, as an Asian American immigrant struggling to find himself, win his father's love, and transcend the dangers of life in urban L.A.
The title, by the way, comes from an interaction between Lac and his father, when upon telling his father (as a kid) that he loves him, his dad replies along the line of "Stop being soft. I love yous are for white people."
If you're into memoirs, you will definitely enjoy this one.
Culture Clash, by L Divine, is the latest installment in the Drama High series, featuring main character Jayd, a strong young African American woman living her life in South L.A./Compton.
This novel focuses on Jayd's frustration with the way her school is handling Cultural Awareness Day. So, in response, she helps form the first African Student Union organization, much to the dismay of school administrators. Add to the mix Jayd's new favorite hobby -- drag racing -- and a crush on Emilio, a new Latino student at her school, and you've got some big time drama at Drama High.
Faithful readers of the Drama High series recommend starting with the first of the series, The Fight.
More on the author, L Divine, and the entire Drama High Series.
No matter where you start, however, you or a young person in your life will definitely enjoy the Drama High series of books.
The schedule is up now for the annual L.A. Times Festival of Books, which takes place this weekend, April 24/25, at the UCLA campus.
Lots of good speakers, writers, book sellers, and more. I usually decide last minute which sessions I want to attend.
But I'm most definitely excited about seeing/hearing Terry McMillan speak on Sunday at 2:30 pm. Her work is a fave of mine, and I'm looking foward to the new novel, Getting to Happy, coming in September (video clip here of her discussing novel).
What/who are you looking forward to seeing or buying at the festival?
Disco is still queen... or king.
At least it is... according to this new book, Hot Stuff: Disco and the Remaking of American Culture by Alice Echols. The book takes an academic look at the effects of disco on life in the U.S. in the 70s, as well as the effects of society on disco music. It examines the ethnicity, class, gender, and sexual orientation themes of the disco era. Check out this L.A. Times review of the book.
In other disco news, just read on Rod 2.0 this heartwarming story about what disco diva Sylvester's estate left a few San Francisco AIDS/HIV community organizations. And we probably have technology, pop culture, and of course Sylvester's music to thank for the legacy and gift. Check out this clip of Sylvester on Joan Rivers' late night show in the 80s.
That's the hot stuff for now.
Look for my favorite author of the day, Pamela Samuels Young, on this Tuesday night's, April 20, Mo'Nique Show.
She'll be discussing her L.A. based legal thrillers, which I've written about on this blog before -- Buying Time, and Murder on the Down Low.
Very rare that talk shows feature black authors on their shows these days. Hopefully this is something Mo'Nique will do regularly on her show.
So show Mo'Nique some love for showing black authors some love, and watch the show this week!
Talk about word-of-mouth being the ultimate publicity, I never would have known about this novel if one of the readers of this blog hadn't alerted me to it. Thanks Anthony. This one sounds like a winner for sure.
Perfect Peace is the third novel by author Daniel Black.
Set in the rural U.S. south, the novel follows Emma Jean Peace's decision to raise her seventh son, Perfect, as the daughter she always wanted, but never gave birth to. When Perfect is eight, someone discovers the gender secret, and it sets off a series of events that leads to multiple questions of identity, gender, biology, and religion. Imagine all that, again, in the South, perceived not to be as open as other areas of the U.S.
I'm always excited to learn about authors deep into their literary careers. It means I get to read their previous books before getting to their current release. In the case of Daniel Black, he's had two other novels published -- They Tell Me of a Home and The Sacred Place -- and both sound like great reads.
Thanks Anthony for the heads up! Enjoy!
Looking forward to the newest release from Pearl Cleage, coming April 20, Till You Hear From Me.
The novel tells the story of Ida Dunbar, daughter of an old-guard Civil Rights leader and an Obama campaign staffer, who returns home to Atlanta after her father makes some controversial statements that go YouTube and might challenge her role with the Obama administration.
That's the short version. As always, there's a lot more than the online summary.
The good thing about Pearl Cleage's novels is that you always get socially conscious reflections, a bit of social justice and history, unapologetically black and proud characters, and conflicts rooted in the black experience and neighborhoods.
I never need to know what her novels are about to know I'm going to get a good read. Definitely check this one out.
Time flies... and we're already heading into graduation prep season. So crazy how fast time goes.
So, I'm reading Buying Time, the latest novel by Pamela Samuels Young. Love it, love it, LOVE it. If you haven't picked up one of her four legal thrillers, you ought to. Deftly plotted. Excellent and authentic dialogue. Strong sistas as leading characters. Someone needs to scoop her novels up as a tv pilot or a film. For real. If you're in L.A. area, she'll be reading and discussing her novels at Cal State L.A. Student Union, Monday, April 12 at 6 pm.
Speaking of time, many writers I know say they have very little of it. For some, it might not be a matter of time... but a matter of Twitter? Or Facebook? Very interesting article in this weekend's LA Times: Should a new writer quit Twitter and Facebook? It takes a fascinating look at one writer's reflection on her productivity while giving up the social networks for the first three months of this year.
Finally, non-related but related... I just love how seamlessly the singer Monica has bridged old school with new school in her song, Everything To Me. Silly by Deniece Williams was always a favorite, and Monica updates in a very honorable way.
Another good novel to add to the list. This one is a coming-of-age story featuring a biracial leading character.
Set in the 1980s, The Girl Who Fell From The Sky, tells the story of Rachel, the daughte of a Danish mother and an African American GI, who becomes the sole survivor of a family tragedy. When Rachel moves in with her strict black grandmother, she wrestles with issues of race, class, beauty, and identity.
Written by Heidi W. Durrow, the novel has won the Bellwether Prize for fiction addressing issues of social justice.
Listen to an interview with the author on NPR, Re-imagining The Tragic Mulatto.

Q: Retreiving sorted data by date with Room and Paging 3 When I get the list that is stored I get this pattern
["12/08/2021", "12/07/2021", "12/08/2020", "11/07/2021", "11/05/2021"]
As you see the month and day are being sorted, but it looks like the year is not being read.
below is Query that I'm using with Room
  @Query("SELECT * FROM timeSheet ORDER BY date DESC")
    fun timeSheetsByDate(): PagingSource<Int, TimeSheet>

Here is a video of it
I then tried with the @TypeConverters,
  @Query("SELECT * FROM timeSheet ORDER BY date(date) DESC")
    fun timeSheetsByDate(): PagingSource<Int, TimeSheet>

@Entity(tableName = "timeSheet")
data class TimeSheet(
    @PrimaryKey var id: String = "",

    @ColumnInfo(name = "date")
    @TypeConverters(TimestampConverter::class)
    var dateSubmitted: String? = null

)

class TimestampConverter {
    @TypeConverter
    fun fromTimestamp(value: Long?): Date? {
        return if (value == null) null else Date(value)
    }

    @TypeConverter
    fun dateToTimestamp(dateString: String?): Date {

        val format = TimeFormatter()

        val date = Calendar.getInstance()
        date.time = format.date(dateString)!!

        return date.time
    }
}

but for some reason when refreshing the data for the second time it doesn't show the values from the first page, so I have to scroll down until all the data is fully loaded and then when I scroll up again I'm able to see the values from the first page.
Here is a video of it

A: You could use
@Query("SELECT * FROM timeSheet ORDER BY substr(date,7,4)||substr(date,4,2)||substr(1,2) DESC")

However, that is awkward.
It is strongly suggested that you do not use dd/mm/yyyy to store the timestamp but instead store it in a recognised format e.g. yyyy-mm-dd
You can then sort and compare dates and also make use of the date and time functions that are built into SQLite.
Your TypeConverters will not be used by Room (and would not work). Room expects a TypeConverter to convert from an unknown type to an underlying type known/handled by Room.
Having var dateSubmitted: String? = null means that the type is String and room can handle storing a String without it being converted, there is no need to convert it and therefore Room won't convert it.
If however you had var dateSubmitted: Date? = null
Then Room does not know how to handle the Date type and will then demand a TypeConverter to convert the Date type into a type that Room can handle. It would also need a second TypeConverter to be able to convert the type stored in the database into a Date type when extracting data.
If you want to use a recognised format, say YYYY-MM-DD then a String can hold that and no TypeConverter is required as far as Room is concerned. However, you need to provide the date as a string in that format for use by Room and handle Room returning the TimeSheet with YYYY-MM-DD in the dateSubmitted member/field.
I would suggest considering the following demonstration of TypeConverters :-
@Entity(tableName = "timeSheet")
@TypeConverters(TimestampConverter::class) /* due to scoping TypeConveters needs to be here or at @Database level */
data class TimeSheet(
    @PrimaryKey var id: String = "",
    @ColumnInfo(name = "date")
    var dateSubmitted: Date? = null,
)
{
    companion object {
        val format = SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd")
    }
}

class TimestampConverter {
    @TypeConverter
    fun fromDateToString(value: Date): String {
        return format.format(value)
    }
    @TypeConverter
    fun toDateFromString(value: String) : Date {
        return format.parse(value)
    }
}

and your original query would then work.
For example using the above along with :-
@Dao
interface AllDao {

    @Insert
    fun insert(timeSheet: TimeSheet): Long
    @Query("SELECT * FROM timeSheet ORDER BY date DESC")
    fun getTimeSheetsOrderedByDateSubmittedDesc(): List<TimeSheet>
}

and :-
class MainActivity : AppCompatActivity() {
    lateinit var db: TheDatabase
    lateinit var dao: AllDao
    override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main)
        db = TheDatabase.getInstance(this)
        dao = db.getAllDao()

        /* ["12/08/2021", "12/07/2021", "12/08/2020", "11/07/2021", "11/05/2021"] */
        dao.insert(TimeSheet("A",TimeSheet.format.parse("2021-08-12")))
        dao.insert(TimeSheet("B",TimeSheet.format.parse("2021-07-12")))
        dao.insert(TimeSheet("C",TimeSheet.format.parse("2021-05-11")))
        dao.insert(TimeSheet("D",TimeSheet.format.parse("2020-08-12")))
        dao.insert(TimeSheet("E",TimeSheet.format.parse("2021-07-11")))

        for (t: TimeSheet in dao.getTimeSheetsOrderedByDateSubmittedDesc()) {
            Log.d("RESULTINFO","ID = ${t.id} DateSubmitted = ${t.dateSubmitted} or ${TimestampConverter().fromDateToString(t.dateSubmitted!!)}")
        }
    }
}

Then the resultant output is :-
2021-12-09 09:20:55.299 D/RESULTINFO: ID = A DateSubmitted = Thu Aug 12 00:00:00 GMT+10:00 2021 or 2021-08-12

Valleys embarrassed by Gremlins
NO MATCH: The Gremlins dominated a depleted Valleys Roosters side on Saturday in front of a big home crowd. Glenda Riley
by Glyn Rees
7th Aug 2019 4:37 PM
Rugby League: The Stanthorpe Gremlins took the on-field honours on Saturday when they overwhelmed a less-than-capable Valleys Roosters outfit 80-nil in the feature match at Sullivan Oval, on a weekend of celebrations of 100 years of Stanthorpe rugby league.
The Gremlins home base was bulging with what was described as a huge home crowd in anticipation of a hotly contested encounter, given the Toowoomba Rugby League Clive Berghofer second-division finals series was just a fortnight away.
As the Gremlins ran on in front of their loyal supporters, through a guard of honour consisting of past players who wore the Stanthorpe Rugby League Club colours, it was with considerable disappointment they faced up to a Valleys outfit of just nine players.
Regardless, the game was under way, with Stanthorpe players unleashing on their less-than-challenging opponents 100 years after the "the greatest game of all" was first played on the Granite Belt.
Skipper Gary Skimmings and his team of renown adjusted to the situation, determined the match would be a highlight of the league century celebrations and would be memorable for players and supporters, many of whom had come significant distances.
Star back Lachlan Hendry crossed for the first points of the game soon after kick-off to see Stanthorpe ease ahead 6-0.

By the 20-minute mark the home side Gremlins were ahead 36-0 on their way to a 48-0 half-time advantage that came from a tally of eight unanswered tries.
The second stanza saw the Valleys line-up bolstered with some local talent but the Gremlins, with 100 years of tradition driving them, crossed for another five second-half tries, with four-try hero Michael Marini snatching the final four-pointer before the full time whistle.
While the result saw the Gremlins firm in fourth place on the ladder with just a game to go before the finals series, it was anything but the challenging hit-out needed heading into next week's final fixture round against the Goondiwindi Boars on their Gilbert Oval turf.
Skimmings is expecting a tough contest with third-on-the-ladder Boars but regardless of next weekend's round 18 outcomes the premiership ladder won't change, with undefeated leaders Newtown (18) followed by Gatton (14), Goondiwindi (11), Stanthorpe (9) and Texas (7), who have drawn a last-round bye.
The Gremlins line-up for the western excursion remains intact but for the unavailability of experienced five-eighth Jarrod Irwin.
The Gremlins fell just short of Goondiwindi back in their round-seven clash at Sullivan Oval 20-18 but they have the line-up to make amends on Saturday.
The Gremlins v Goondiwindi game will be part of a gala super Saturday of rugby league at Gilbert Oval, commencing with Wattles Junior Rugby League Club up against Goondiwindi juniors in Warwick and District Junior Rugby League fixtures, followed by the Wattles senior club taking on the Boars seniors in the final TRL fixture round of 2019.

With one swing of the leg, Cameron Lancaster reminded Nashville SC just who he can be as a goal scorer in the USL.
Lancaster's bending 85th-minute goal from outside the penalty box gave Nashville a 3-2 road victory over Hartford Athletic on Sunday and vaulted Nashville (28 points, 8-3-4) to third in the USL Championship Eastern Conference standings.
NSC's trip to the University of Connecticut's football stadium in East Hartford was as entertaining as any game this season.

The former Louisville City talisman, who entered the game as a substitute in the 68th minute, blasted similar highlight-reel goals in regular play or on free kicks from that distance with regularity in Louisville. Lancaster had scored three goals in USL play, but they all came from headers or rebounds near the net.
Daniel Rios started the scoring with a 31st-minute goal off a horrid Hartford turnover. Sebastian Dalgaard countered with a Hartford goal a minute later.
After going nearly a year and a half without winning a game in which they trailed, Nashville won its second consecutive game by coming from behind.

Detroit approves community deal to clear way for Howe bridge
Detroit council on Tuesday signed off on a US$48-million community benefits deal which hands over necessary city-owned land for the Gordie Howe International Bridge and provides support to residents in close proximity in the industrial community of Delray.

Detroit city council on Tuesday signed off on a US$48-million deal which hands over city-owned land required for the Gordie Howe International Bridge and provides support to residents living near the industrial community of Delray where the bridge will be located.
Canadian taxpayers will be fronting the money to pay for the deal under an arrangement with Michigan's state government. Canada plans to recoup its money through tolls after the bridge is constructed.
Detroit approves community deal to clear way for Howe bridge Back to video
The agreement, aside from property acquisition, provides job training, environmental monitoring, plus relocation expenses for homeowners, who do not wish to remain in close proximity to the looming international border crossing, even though they live outside of the bridge project's footprint in southwest Detroit
The deal was the culmination of months of tense negotiations between Detroit, neighbourhood leaders and officials with the Windsor-Detroit Bridge Authority.
Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder described the deal as a "major milestone" for the "vitally important infrastructure project," but one that also protects the interests of Detroit's residents.
"This is a testament to years of meaningful collaboration between stakeholders and community leaders who listened to one another and worked together to forge solutions that will benefit the people of Detroit for years to come," Snyder said.

Within the package, the city of Detroit agreed to sell 36 parcels of land needed for the Howe bridge project. That land has been turned over to the State of Michigan, but Canada is providing the funds. The deal also provides $10 million for a training initiative to prepare workers for both bridge construction and other related jobs.
Another $2.4 million will be spent over the next 10 years to monitor the air quality and health of residents in a community known as Michigan's most polluted due to industries in the area, including U.S. Steel on Zug Island.
"WDBA is pleased with the positive outcome from Detroit city council and we will continue to work closely with Michigan on the acquisition of properties on the U.S. side of the project," said Michael Cautillo, the bridge authority's CEO.

Construction on the Howe bridge is scheduled to start sometime next year. The bridge authority is expected to select a contractor for the project at the end of this year.
The project includes the new crossing, plazas on both sides of the border and a new two-kilometre feeder road in Detroit that will link the bridge to I-75.
The Windsor-Detroit Bridge Authority is also staging an update meeting Thursday in Windsor on the Howe bridge for anyone who wishes to learn more about the status of the project.
It will take place between 3 p.m. and 7 p.m. at Mackenzie Hall, located at 3277 Sandwich St. Presentations will be made during the open house at 4 p.m. and 6 p.m.

For all of you ladies and gents who live in places where the snow is unrelenting and the cold weather is seemingly never ending, this post is for you. Generally, my strategy in winter is to wear the warmest outfit possible. OK — so sometimes I just wear the cutest outfit possible, but the point is winter dressing gets old fast. I start to feel like I am watching reruns of a TV show. Actually, it turns out I am watching reruns of a TV show because Friends has been off the air for 8 years. The point is I am wearing my Marty McFly puffer vest (as my boyfriend refers to it), layered over a chambray shirt, layered over a striped tank, with a floral print scarf on top. How's that for some creative winter dressing?

What Are the Different Types of General Practitioner Jobs?
B. Chisholm
Typically, a general practitioner is a family doctor.
Although the term "general practitioner," or GP, may have slightly different meanings in different countries throughout the world, in most cases, it refers to family doctors who treat acute and chronic diseases and provide preventative healthcare and education. They are often patients' only doctors, treating them throughout their lives, for conditions that don't require specialist care. One of the main general practitioner jobs is to provide follow-up and maintenance care, sometimes in consultation with a treating specialist.
A general practitioner might focus on a specialization, such as geriatric care.
The main general practitioner jobs are the treatment of acute and chronic illnesses. Acute illnesses refer to those that happen suddenly and, generally, have a short course, such as the flu. They usually require a single visit to the GP who will prescribe medication, if necessary. Chronic illnesses refer to those that are long-term and may require lifelong therapy, such as hypertension, or high blood pressure. Again, treatment may be prescribed by the GP on a long-term basis, but regular visits to the GP to monitor therapy are recommended.
A general practitioner's job entails more than simply giving medicine.
There are various specialties with general practitioner jobs. While most GPs remain as general family practitioners, some GPs may choose to specialize into a certain sector of general practice. There are a large number of branches of medicine including geriatric medicine dealing with the elderly, adolescent medicine and sleep medicine. Some general practitioner jobs are aimed at a specific gender, such as women's or men's health. In these cases the GP focuses on that specific aspect of medicine.
A general practitioner may perform pelvic exams and PAP smears for women.
As mentioned above, the scope of general practitioner jobs is broad. Not only does it include the treatment of patients, but preventative treatment and education play a major role. In general, it is advised that people go to their GP at least once a year for a general medical check-up. The GP will do a range of tests to check overall health and to pick up any warning signs of problems. These will include blood pressure, cholesterol and glucose tests. Women may have a PAP smear and breast examination and men have their prostate examined.
When these diagnostic tests are done, the GP may educate the patient on how to prevent diseases such as hypertension, diabetes and high cholesterol. This will include advice on lifestyle changes such as a healthier diet, increased exercise and decreasing stress. The general practitioner's jobs are widely encompassing — it's not only about diagnosis and giving medicine, but also about preventing disease and promoting a healthier lifestyle.

Education for Happiness
Vail Daily News
The Chabad Jewish Center of the Vail Valley joins Soul Maps, a program that teaches Kabbalah as a tool to reach emotional happiness.
People are complicated. We have a warm, sensitive side and a wild, primitive side. We can act caring and nurturing one moment, and self-centered and aggressive the next. Making sense of our thoughts and emotions is not easy, and people often feel conflicted and overwhelmed.
"People struggle every day to understand themselves and find inner peace," says Rabbi Dovid Mintz of the Cahbad Jewish center in Vail. "What people really need is a guide to help them navigate their own complexity, and the Kabbalah has provided these tools for centuries."
This November, the Rohr Jewish Learning Institute is proud to launch Soul Maps, an ancient and innovative approach to human psychology. Soul Maps is structured as a six-step program, utilizing tools from the Kabbalah to help participants understand themselves and find inner contentment. The course is based on Tanya, an 18th-century book that made the previously esoteric teachings of Kabbalah practical, relevant and accessible.
The course will be presented in Vail, at the Chabad Jewish Center, on six consecutive Tuesdays beginning Nov. 11. The course will also be available in Edwards, at the Inn at Riverwalk, on six consecutive Wednesdays beginning Nov. 12. The course costs $80, but the first lesson free with no obligation.
