How old is old? In most western countries, retirement age is the milestone after which someone becomes "elderly" or a "senior." But, is this really fair? After all, in 1930, around the time that Social Security was established, a 65-year-old woman could expect to live 12.8 years. By contrast, a woman that turned 65 in 2009 could expect to live 20.3 years.
How Old is Old Really?
If you are in your 50s now, chances are your life-expectancy by the time you reach "retirement age" will be considerably higher than this. So, this raises an interesting question: If life expectancy continues to increase, why have our definitions of "old age" remained the same?
Our generation's expectations for life after 65 are dramatically different than our parents and grandparents. Most of us aren't planning on retiring any time soon. Even those of us who want to quit our jobs eventually see "retirement" as a time for pursuing our passions, not embracing invisibility.
In addition, we all experience the aging process differently. I know people in their 80s, who are roller-skating and jumping out of planes. I also know people in their early 50s who are cynical, grumpy and inactive.
So, my question for you is this – do you become "old" when you reach a certain age, whether 60, 65, or 70? Or, is being "old" a state of mind?
Like many older adults, I feel different ages on different days. Some mornings, I wake up as a 30-year-old version of myself. Other days, I feel 130. It just depends.
Do you think that retirement age is the point at which someone becomes "old?" Why or why not? Is "old age" something that happens to you at age 65 or 70? Or, is "old age" a state of mind? Please join the conversation.
Here is a short video that I recorded to facilitate the conversation of "how old is ok?" I hope that you enjoy it!

How often do we surrender our dreams because things do not go according to plan (our plan, that is!)? The essence of success is governed by a certainty of direction and a flexibility in action. It is imperative that one be passionate about his/her dreams with a knowing that the soul's desire will undoubtedly lead to a favorable outcome. Our job is to follow the desire, taking the actions within our means, without being married to the path that is going to take us where we wish to go.
The path will be filled with the "good opinion of other people" (those who wish to warn us of our folly). This is simply an opportunity for us to remind ourselves that we have what it takes to succeed. The world's greatest achievers are those who are able to acknowledge the validity of doubt, dismiss the short-sightedness of others and to continue moving forward--never giving up until the goal has been successfully accomplished.
This day is filled with unlimited possibility. How will you use today to move you a step closer to your dream? Even a small action is a step in the right direction!
Success or sabotage? Every thought, word, and action is an answer to this question. What is your answer today?

Elizabeth Seton Children's Rehabilitation Center
Elizabeth Seton Children's has a long legacy of serving the children and families of New York – both in health care and education. Our history is rooted in the story of the Sisters of Charity Ministry Network, our sponsors, who began their work over 200 years ago in 1817, and in The New York Foundling, whose doors were opened in 1869 by three Sisters of Charity in an effort to save babies being abandoned on the streets of New York.
It was those children, with the greatest medical needs, who became the genesis for Elizabeth Seton Children's as it commenced its evolution from a program of The Foundling to what it is today: a nationally recognized champion of medically complex children needing specialized medical, nursing, rehabilitative and educational services both living in residence and in the community.
For over 30 years we have been inspired to serve children and their families with loving care and transformational outcomes. Our journey continues today.
Elizabeth Seton Pediatric Center (now Elizabeth Seton Children's Center) originated at 590 Avenue of the Americas in Manhattan as a program affiliate of the The York Foundling to care for 136 medically complex children wit multiple physical and neurological conditions and increasing medical acuity; this included babies with AIDS and suffering from the effects of drug-addicted mothers
Elizabeth Seton Children's Center became fully independent from the programs of The New York Foundling with separate governance and remained a sponsored work or the Sisters of Charity Ministry Network.
Elizabeth Seton Children's Center assumed operating responsibility from The New York Foundling for the John A. Coleman School in New York City (now Elizabeth Seton Children's School).
Elizabeth Seton Children's Center expanded operations by opening Elizabeth Seton Children's School at 317 North Street in white Plains.
Elizabeth Seton Children's Center develops the first long-term care program in New York State for ventilator-dependent children.
Elizabeth Seton Children's Center assumed operating responsibility for the Children's Rehabilitation Center (now Elizabeth Seton Children's Rehabilitation Center) at 317 North Street in White Plains.
Elizabeth Seton Children's Center and School relocated from New York City to a newly constructed 165,000-square-foot, LEED Gold certified "green" building on 6.5 acres in Yonkers for 137 medically complex children.
Elizabeth Seton Children's Center welcomed 32 additional medically complex and technology-dependent children with a three story expansion. With 169 children, the Center is now the largest provider of pediatric post-acute care nationwide.
Elizabeth Seton Children's celebrates 30 years of service.
About St. Elizabeth Ann Seton
Our inspiration and solidifying force is our foundress, St. Elizabeth Ann Bayley Seton. Elizabeth Seton was a devoted wife and mother, and later, an impoverished widow and struggling single mother. The founder of the Sisters of Charity, the Catholic School System and many other institutions, Elizabeth Seton was the first American-born saint. By the time of her death on January 4, 1821, Elizabeth had founded no less than 50 Catholic institutions, including orphanages, schools and hospitals such as St. Vincent's Hospital in New York City. Expand
Mother Seton's traits of adaptation, belonging, compassionate love and devotion are felt in the spirit of our corridors and her ministry is seen in the loving and healing interactions between children, families and staff. Her commitment was unsurpassed as exemplified by her spirit of "Hazard Yet Forward," the Seton Family motto that inspired her to proceed on God's path regardless of the personal sacrifice in doing so and obstacles that appeared insurmountable.
The way she lived her life inspires us today. Our goal of producing transformational outcomes for medically complex children requires the fortitude and faith demonstrated by our foundress and is the bar that we have set for ourselves at Elizabeth Seton Children's.
Creating possibilities for medically complex children and their families, inspired by the love of St. Elizabeth Seton.
Pursuing leadership and excellence by advancing innovative, loving care with transformational outcomes to medically complex children and their families.

Now let's talk about other Kitty games which you must be aware of.
Chip sliding is one of the most hilarious kitty party games that you can play. All you have to do is, put a potato chip on forehead. And then your partner will bend on their knees with mouth wide open and you have to dump that chip slice into your partner's mouth. That's it. This is one of those kitty party games that may look easy but is really hard if you have turned on the ceiling fan. Try such kitty games to experience an amazing time yourselves.
So, these were our top picks of kitty party games on paper for ladies. If you think this blog helped you in your kitty party, then don't forget to give us a share on your social media.
So next up for Kitty games is the Stare Game. As the name suggests, Stare game is that game in which you have to continuously look into the eyes of your opponent and make sure you don't blink before them. This is one of the most amazing kitty party games. If you think that your Kitty Party is getting boring, then start off with this game, and we're sure you'll figure out what to do next.
Phone a Husband is our personal favorite Kitty Party Games. In this game, all you have to do is make a group of 4 and each contestant will have to call their husband and the one who's husband picks up the phone first and says Hi to everyone present at the party, wins. It's as simple as that. This is one of those Kitty Games that makes Adrenaline rush hard into our bodies and makes us want to be as fast as possible. So, try this game and we're sure you'll also love it.
Next off is, "Do you remember me?" It is one of those games in which you will have to ask questions to your opponent which is going to be related to you both. So, the questions could be something like: Where did we first meet or when was the first time we made boyfriends or anything like that. So these questions would be something which only you would be knowing and this way, each question would itself become an amazing story to be told to others and will bring thousands of memories back.
To be honest, Sing with earphones is one of the most played Kitty Games in our group. And to play this game, there are a few requirements. You need to have your own apartment which is free from interventions by neighbors. Now, to play the game, all you have to do is play a song on your mobile and put on the earphones. Now sing the song and imagine no one is watching you. That's it. And the others who are not wearing earphones will have a good time laughing at your singing skills.
So these were some of the best Kitty Games in this blog. If you liked this blog, make sure you follow our Facebook and Instagram page for more updates! Share this blog with your friends and family if you also want to play such games at your next Kitty Party.

Wellington's Boots
Contributed by: Marguerite Hughes
The correspondence between the Duke of Wellington and Lord Lynedoch in June vividly depicts the Duke's confidence and decisive attitude as the inevitable clash of armies approached. On 13th June 1815, he wrote:
'There is nothing new here. We have reports of Bonaparte's joining the army and attacking us; but I have accounts from Paris of the 10th, on which day he was still there; and I judge from his speech to the Legislature that his departure was not likely to be immediate. I think we are now too strong for him here.' (See Antony Brett-James, Wellington At War 1794-1815: A selection of his wartime letters. (London: Macmillan & Co LTD, 1961), p.307).
In fact, Napoleon had left Paris on 12th June and the decisive period of fighting would begin sooner than Wellington had expected. Nevertheless, his assessment of the relative strengths of the armies was borne out.
Today Wellington is remembered not just for his involvement in Waterloo but also for a new style of boot that would take his name: the Wellington. Wellington had asked his shoemaker to adapt the standard hessian-style boot by cutting the tassel and lowering the heel to make them a more comfortable fit. The epic victory at Waterloo in 1815 marked Wellington as fashion pioneer and the wellington was adopted thereafter as a fashion trend.

Nose – The peat aroma from the lightly peated barley is apparent from the off and some of the green apples which are becoming a feature of Kilkerran are also present. This whisky is like a favourite dessert, rhubarb crumble, stewed rhubarb, vanilla and all butter shortbread.
Palate – There's an earthiness and saltiness, exactly what you want to taste in a Campbeltown dram. This is combined with icing sugar and puff candy which gives a sweetness to the whisky, along with milk chocolate and walnut flavours.
Finish – The peat remains, along with a sootiness, pencil shavings and a liquorice influenced maltiness.


One of my favorite things about the Christmas season is the tendency for people to return to a focus on the Incarnation, the act of God becoming flesh. Throughout the rest of the year, it is easy to forget the very tangible physicality of Jesus and put too much emphasis on the spiritual side. Now, I think the intangible side of our lives is incredibly important (see my spirituality blog here), but we are left floating in space without the solidity of body theology to help ground us. So, here are some great thoughts on the Incarnation I've run across during the last few weeks. Let's try to keep these insights close by as we journey into 2012 together. Enjoy!
The incarnation of God in humanity (advent) reveals the beauty and humility of our God who likes to just plain be with us.
#2 Steve Knight – Incarnational or Missional?
The idea of incarnation is central to the missional shift in the Church and in Christianity. "The risk of incarnation," as Palmer puts it, is one very beautiful (and biblical) way of describing the invitation we have been given — to join God in the renewal of all things, to participate in the dream of God, to be a part of what God is doing in the world.
As an early Christian leader proclaimed, the glory of God is a person fully alive. In the incarnation, God was fully alive in the call and response which enlivened Mary, Joseph, and their wee child. They responded to God's unexpected movements in their lives – bringing forth wonders that pushed them beyond their comfort zones to become partners in God's holy adventure. They became fully alive, contributing to the unique divine presence in Jesus, by their responses to their angelic visitors.
But in the midst, if you really listen humanity groans…for something to be birthed beyond anything we can imagine. Revolutions are birthed in the midst of pain. Jesus' birth is about the birth of a revolution. It is about a revolution to re-write the narative that would finally recaputure the imagination of humanity.
He then chronicles several reasons why people find it hard to believe the Christmas story. First, the four Gospels themselves don't set forth a unified, consistent account of Jesus' birth. But beyond that sort of Enlightenment style criticism of the text, earlier skeptics found the concept of Incarnation fantastic, even unseemly. As far back as the second century, gnostics like Marcion found Jesus' full humanity a difficult concept to square with their idea of God. Apologists like Tertullian responded by saying things like, "You repudiate such veneration of nature, do you, but how were you born?" In other words, if God is put off by such things as the messy birth of a baby, what makes us think he cares about real people at all?
God is not aloof, but present in cells, souls, and communities. A one-dimensional faith – defining everything according the tenets of the modern world view – robs life of beauty, wonder, and amazement. The incarnation raises all life to revelation; each moment – even tragic moments – as a potential theophany. Sleepers awake! God is with us!


Stress and anxiety fragile adhesives such as this produced by 3M are a kind of agent which develops bonds when the pressure is applied in order to sign up with the glue to the adherent. No warm, water or solvent is called for to trigger this binder. Such binding product depends entirely on the amount of stress applied in order for proper chains to occur. Numerous various other variables that can impact this bonding contain: area power, degree of smoothness and removal of any kind of pollutants. They have actually been made to give a bond at room temperature and can be utilized for either detachable or irreversible applications.

This is done by finishing on the assistance and likewise evaporating the water service provider or all-natural solvent by making use of a cozy air dryer. A dry thick is warmed in order to generate a cross linking reaction which helps to elevate molecular weight. Strong PSAs are decreased density polymers which are covered and additionally gone through radiation for the goal of enhancing the molecular weight which creates the adhering. Warm thaw PSAs are heated up to reduce the degree of density in order to enable completing to be done before being cooled down right into their last kind.
They are comprised of special bonding tapes which are consisted of fluid sticky mini joined and a composite support. These fans are applied by the use of pressure applied by utilizing one's fingers. The process of application for PSAs is cleaner compared to various other kinds of sticking agents and additionally the bond is a lot more powerful. The typical cosmetics contain an elastomeric which has amongst the following: polymers, all-natural rubber, styrene copolymers, plastic ethers, nitriles, butyl rubber and silicones. To make certain that the adherents have one of the most effective tackiness, the elastomeric is blended with tackifier which is a lighter molecular substance.

Design effectiveness is often forgotten and also not discussed very commonly by purchasers and also building contractors alike. Over years of house design and building I have actually had to assess many residence designs in order to economies the building to achieve a target budget plan. There are a couple of straightforward policies when undergoing this review which I have actually described listed below.This is the most simple action for a person with a high degree of spatial understanding. A fast overview of a layout will certainly highlight areas that are larger than called for or excessive. Instances might be considerable lengths of passageways, weird sized locations where areas do not link or stream effectively or simply extra-large spaces. Last year a client pertained to me and revealed me a home strategy he had developed via a so called engineer that had a master bedroom 8.5 m x 3.0 m and the client did not determine the room as being odd till I directed it out.
If you are familiar with watching arcviet.vn/tag/biet-thu-co-dien-dep this process is rather straightforward, nonetheless for many home purchasers it is extremely challenging to think of space simply by considering a scaled illustration. A simpler way that I recommend to buyers is to take a blank notepad and cut out scaled sized furnishings that they have in their existing house, then place it on the residence style strategies where they think it will go. This will then aid them to evaluate proportions of space dimensions in regard to their furniture.When designing and building two storey residences the main factor in price effectiveness is with engineering prices. Large spans of open room on the very beginning can cause the engineer to raise the depth of the suspended piece from 172mm to 257mm, which includes substantial costs.
Maintaining enough architectural wall surfaces underneath the piece in key positions will eliminate the demand for this expense and also can still suggest you have a fantastic open room.Reducing suspended slab expansions is additionally critical, something that a seasoned architect or house designer will certainly do instantly, yet frequently overlooked by beginner developers. This inadequate design function will certainly make a house have a concrete piece where it is underutilized, and also concealed in the roofing system space which simply implies it is a very costly ceiling.Decreasing the need for architectural columns is additionally an element. Given that the supply and setup of an architectural column can set you back $400-$ 500 each you want to lower the number used in a house design. Smart use interior walls can conveniently conserve $3,000 – once again an expense that will never ever be seen once the home is finished.

Unfortunately, we will not be able to open school at all on Thursday 10th July 2014. More staff have now informed me that they will be taking industrial action and we will not have enough staff in school to operate safely.
Therefore, school will be closed on Thursday 10th July 2014.
I thought I needed to make a comment or more to the fact a point.
I am a working parent and organising childcare for the school holidays is tough enough, but when parents are given 2 days notice that the school will now be closing and not the odd few classes as first advised, it becomes increasingly difficult. I am not lucky enough to have family nearby to help out, so have to spend extra on childcare costs to cover 2 children out of school for this day whilst both my husband and I go to work.
The children also lose out on a days education, whereby you make the point of stressing that a child's education is important and children must attend school. Then why is it that we as parents are not allowed to or are preferred not to take our children out of school for holidays, unless there are exceptional circumstances, when it seems quite alright to close the school at short notice.
I am so sorry about this. We tried really hard to ascertain who would and wouldn't be striking. However, staff are within their rights to make this decision any point up to and including the day of the strike. We did think that we would manage with a partial closure, however, there are so many staff now saying they will strike we do not have enough people to open safely.
As a working parent, I understand how frustrating this must be. It really is outside our control.
Thank you for your reply and I do understand the why's and wherefore's for the strike, but just felt that I needed to voice an opinion.
Can I take this opportunity to commend how you have managed the strike action. I am a Union Member and aware that there isn't any obligation to notify managers of the intention to strike. The very fact that you had such information conveyed to you shows the respect you command and in turn it allowed you to make a informed decision about whether to still have the school open as usual.
We can only imagine how innundated the "blog" would be with disgruntled Carers if children were allowed into school without the requiste adult/child ratio being adhered to and an accident occured.
I echo your comment "It really is outside our control" and add it's the nature of the strike for somebody/someone to be inconvenienced and there will be casualties od such action.
I am not TOTALLY unsympathetic towards the striking teachers HOWEVER being a full-time working single Mum, being giving two day's notice of the school closure was a nightmare. The irony of parents being fined for taking their children out of school, mainly due to having to work full-time and not being able to take leave during holidays, has not gone unnoticed here! Ms Papas; I think you maybe aware of my other gripes to this regard but do not wish to air dirty laundry as it were!

Q: What's your vision and what's been the progress so far?
A: The vision of WandX is to create decentralized infrastructure for creation, trade, and settlement of any financial instrument built on ERC20 tokens. In the real world, you have various instruments on currency and commodities such as futures, options, securitization of income streams, debt instruments. With the rapidly growing crypto-asset space, we're building a platform on which anyone can create, trade, and settle any kind of financial instruments on tokens built on Ethereum. Our first instrument is the portfolio; currently we have a prototype on the Ethereum testnet that enables users to create and trade portfolios of ERC20 tokens, through our smart contracts and APIs, with a single transaction.
Q: There's a lot of decentralized exchange platforms and protocols coming up. How are you different?
A: Decentralized exchanges enable trade between tokens; WandX goes a step further and enables decentralized trade between financial instruments. The first financial instrument is the portfolio; users can create and trade portfolios of ERC20 tokens, hence helping them to hedge risk and diversify their investments. Through our APIs that connect to our smart contracts, any third party can connect for a fee. Our protocol for decentralized derivatives trade on ERC20 tokens will release in 3 months. Our easy to use user interface, APIs that connect to our smart contracts would help user onboarding and quick usage of the platform.
Q: What's your business model and growth strategy?
A: Our business model for the first portfolio trading application is a percentage of the trade. The next application which would enable creation and trade of ETFs and derivatives would have a similar business model, except that we would also take a percentage of creation as well. We've created the APIs and smart contract infrastructure to enable easy creation and trade and added a lot of value created through this framework. We plan to grow by partnering with liquidity providers who are looking for a way to trade the crypto market with the ability to both hedge and collar simultaneously through the creation of a custom token.
Q: Tell us about the Wand.
A: We're introducing the Wand token to incentivize creation and trade of financial instruments; it's the equivalent of a loyalty points in retail. Users are incentivized with a percentage of Wand tokens for every creation and trade of instruments. In our initial application, users can pay for portfolios with Wand tokens, and they get a discount on our platform trading fee every time a trade is made. They also get a discount every time a derivative or ETF is created. The Wand token is a utility token, and does not have any connection to shares at WandX Pte Ltd.

A: Our team can be classified into three groups – Software experts, financial services veterans, and Blockchain experts. Our core development team has spent over 20 years in the Indian IT industry, developing software from Java to configuring hardware in an industrial setting.

Group of Ajax players on their way to Denmark
Wanja 3 November 2020 3 November 2020
Ajax has good hope that Andre Onana, Dusan Tadic and Ryan Gravenberch are able to play in tonight's Champions League fixture against FC Midtjylland. The three players arrived in Denmark late yesterday evening and are hoping to play tonight.
On Monday the team travelled to Denmark with only seventeen players for the upcoming match against Midtjylland. Eleven players, including some of this year's strongholds, were forced to stay behind in Amsterdam. They all tested positive for Coronavirus on Monday morning.
Since the UEFA uses a different method of testing, some players tested positive while they would have been tested negative with another method of testing. The Danish authorities supposedly weren't allowing the players into the country. A similar situation as with Cyprus, who weren't allowing some PSV players into the country in their last Europa League fixture against Omonia Nicosia.
The situation has changed, however, making it possible for some players to travel to Denmark and possibly play tonight. Onana, Tadic and Gravenberch have had to take a new test this morning. If the test turns out negative, they'll be able to play. For Klaassen and Stekelenburg, the situation should also be cleared up later today.
Dusan Tadic is convinced he can play tonight. In a quick reaction to the Serbian sports outlet SportKlub, he said: "I do not have Corona. I just have antibodies, everything will be alright." The new results should come in today, and finally, conclude who can play tonight.

New York, N.Y. I met Jonathan T.M. Reckford this fall when Habitat for Humanity International (LINK) invited several foundations, including the Ford Foundation and our own foundation to meet with him and hear about Habitat's good works around the workd – and get involved.

It was inspirational to hear his presentation. And learn that he had been a Henry Luce Scholar for one year to Asia. With professional experience ranging from Wall Street to the local church, Jonathan brings to his role as chief executive officer of Habitat for Humanity International robust leadership skills and a passion for service.
Jonathan was influenced greatly by his parents, who were active in the civil rights struggle in North Carolina, and his grandmother, New Jersey congresswoman Millicent Fenwick, who was widely known for her commitment to justice issues. She encouraged him to account for the lost and left out in the world.
A native of North Carolina, Jonathan graduated from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where he was a Morehead scholar. He earned an MBA with a certificate in public and nonprofit management from the Stanford University Graduate School of Business.
Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter Work Project, Fort Worth, Texas – 2014.
After undergraduate school, he began his career as a financial analyst in 1984 at Goldman, Sachs & Co. in New York. He found the work professionally stimulating, but not satisfying. He also struggled each day he walked by scores of homeless people on his way to the office — where he would focus on making megadeals.
After leaving Wall Street, he sought to regain some perspective and received the Henry Luce Scholarship, a program designed to give future leaders the opportunity to live and work for a year in Asia. He worked for the Olympic Organizing Committee, preparing for the 1988 Olympic Games in Seoul, South Korea.
Although he had always called himself a Christian, he had drifted and faith played no central role in his life. In Korea, he began meeting weekly with pastor and ethics professor Jim Peterson who helped him with the tension of fully integrating his heart and his mind. That exploration led to his making a personal relationship with Jesus Christ in March of 1987, and "nothing has been the same since," Jonathan says.

With that idea planted in his mind and with a goal of being a positive influence in the business world, he developed strong leadership skills and gained valuable experience working in executive and managerial positions at companies such as Marriott, The Walt Disney Company, Musicland and Best Buy.
After helping integrate Musicland into Best Buy, it was clear there was no place for him in the new organization. He left with a generous walkaway package, but also was limited by a clause that did not allow him to take a new job for 18 months. Being forced to take the time off allowed him to go on a mission trip to India, where a life-changing event persuaded him to devote the rest of his life to helping the world's poor.
The path from India to Habitat was neither immediate nor direct and led him first to serve as the executive pastor at the 4,300-member Christ Presbyterian Church in Edina, Minnesota. His friends called that decision career suicide, but Jonathan looks back on the time at the church — and at every other position—as crucial steps in preparing him to lead Habitat for Humanity.
He was unanimously elected chief executive officer by the board of directors of Habitat for Humanity International in August 2005.
He is the author of "Creating a Habitat for Humanity: No Hands but Yours," which is framed around the messages of justice, mercy and humility found in Micah 6:8.

Jonathan is a member of the Council on Foreign Relations and serves on the board of InterAction. He and his wife, Ashley, have three children and live in Atlanta.
Habitat for Humanity International's vision is a world where everyone has a decent place to live. Thought leader and global citizen Jonathan T.M. Reckford is aptly qualified to lead the fulfillment of this critical vision.
Anchored by the conviction that housing provides a path out of poverty, since 1976 Habitat has helped more than five million people through home construction, rehabilitation and repairs and by increasing access to improved shelter through products and services. Habitat also advocates to improve access to decent and affordable shelter and offers a variety of housing support services that enable families with limited means to make needed improvements on their homes as their time and resources allow. As a nonprofit Christian housing organization, Habitat works in more than 70 countries and welcomes people of all races, religions and nationalities to partner in its mission.
