Quantitative Approaches Provide New Perspective on Development of Antibiotic Resistance
Using quantitative models of bacterial growth, a team of UC San Diego biophysicists has discovered the bizarre way by which antibiotic resistance allows bacteria to multiply in the presence of antibiotics, a growing health problem in hospitals and nursing homes across the United States.
Two months ago, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention issued a sobering report estimating that antibiotic-resistant bacteria last year caused more than two million illnesses and approximately 23,000 deaths in the United States. Treating these infections, the report said, added $20 billion last year to our already overburdened health care system.
The researchers found a range of drug doses for which genetically identical bacterial cells exhibited drastically different behaviors: while a substantial fraction of cells stopped growing despite carrying the resistance gene, other cells continued to grow at a high rate—a phenomenon called "growth bistability."

Many approaches are now being employed by public health officials to limit the spread of antibiotic resistance in bacteria—such as limiting the use of antibiotics in livestock, controlling prescriptions of antibiotics and developing new drugs against bacteria already resistant to conventional drug treatments. But understanding how bacteria grow and evolve drug resistance could also help stop its spread by allowing scientists to target the process of evolution itself.
"Understanding how bacteria harboring antibiotic resistance grow in the presence of antibiotics is critical for predicting the spread and evolution of drug resistance," the UC San Diego scientists say in an article published in the November 29 issue of the journal Science.

In their study, the researchers found that the expression of antibiotic resistance genes in strains of the model bacterium E. coli depends on a complex relationship between the bacterial colony's growth status and the effectiveness of the resistance mechanism.
"In the course of developing complete resistance to a drug, a strain of bacteria often first acquires a mechanism with very limited efficacy," says Terry Hwa, a professor of physics and biology who headed the research effort. "While much effort has been spent elucidating individually how a drug inhibits bacterial growth and how a resistance mechanism neutralizes the action of a drug, little is known previously about how the two play off of each other during the critical phase where drug resistance evolves towards full strength."
According to Hwa, the interaction between drug and drug-resistance is complex because the degree of drug resistance expressed in a bacterium depends on its state of growth, which in turn depends on the efficacy of drug, with the latter depending on the expression of drug resistance itself. For a class of common drugs, the researchers realized that this chain of circular relations acted effectively to promote the efficacy of drug resistance for an intermediate range of drug doses.
The use of predictive quantitative models was instrumental in guiding the researchers to formulate critical experiments to dissect this complexity. In their experiments, E. coli cells possessing varying degrees of resistance to an antibiotic were grown in carefully controlled environments kept at different drug doses in "microfluidic" devices—which permitted the researchers to manipulate tiny amounts of fluid and allowed them to continuously observe the individual cells.
Hwa and his team found a range of drug doses for which genetically identical bacterial cells exhibited drastically different behaviors: while a substantial fraction of cells stopped growing despite carrying the resistance gene, other cells continued to grow at a high rate. This phenomenon, called "growth bistability," occurred as quantitatively predicted by the researchers' mathematical models, in terms of both the dependence on the drug dose, which is set by the environment, and on the degree of drug resistance a strain possesses, which is set by the genetic makeup of the strain and is subject to change during evolution.
"Exposing this behavior generates insight into the evolution of drug resistance," says Hwa. "With this model we can chart how resistance is picked up and evaluate quantitatively the efficacy of a drug." However, this model has only been established for one class of drugs and one class of drug-resistance mechanisms. Hwa believes it is important to establish such predictive models for all the common drugs in pathogenic bacterial species.
"My hope," he adds, "is to get the message out to drug companies and hospitals that there is an informative, quantitative way to look at the action of a drug on bacteria and at the consequences of using a drug on bacteria as they try to pick up resistance, and that this approach can be incorporated in both the design and evaluation of drug efficacy in clinically relevant settings."
Hwa says the principle of interaction between drug and drug-resistance is important to understand not only for the evolution of antibiotics, but also for the emergence of drug resistance in other diseases. A prominent example is the rapid emergence of cancer lines resistant to drug treatment, which underlies most failures in cancer drug therapies. While there are obviously numerous differences between the evolution of drug resistance in bacteria and in cancer, Hwa noted that the connection between the two was sufficient to motivate the Physical Science-Oncology program of the National Cancer Institute to co-sponsor this study.
Other UC San Diego scientists involved in the discovery were J. Barrett Deris, Minsu Kim, Zhongge Zhang, Hiroyuki Okano, Rutger Hermsen and Alexander Groisman, an associate professor of physics at UC San Diego. Funding for the study was provided by the National Institutes of Health and the National Science Foundation.

The Health Potential of Sandalwood
Medically reviewed by Debra Rose Wilson, Ph.D., MSN, R.N., IBCLC, AHN-BC, CHT — By Anna Schaefer — Updated on August 2, 2021
Product choice
Sandalwood essential oil is found in many perfumes and air fresheners. It's a classic scent from a valuable tree. But the value of sandalwood oil may go beyond smell. Sandalwood may offer some health benefits as well.
Sandalwood essential oil comes from the wood and roots of Santalum album, or the East Indian sandalwood tree. This is one of the most valuable trees in the world. Its products are used across the globe. West Indian and African sandalwood oils have also been produced in the past, but they're no longer widely available.
Sandalwood and its essential oil are prized in the field of alternative medicine. It's traditionally used to help treat a variety of conditions. Most of its traditional uses haven't been scientifically tested, but some research suggests sandalwood may help treat certain health problems.
Picture of sandalwood
How is sandalwood essential oil used traditionally?
Sandalwood essential oil has many traditional uses. For centuries, East Indian sandalwood oil has been a popular ingredient in Ayurvedic medicine, the folk medicine of India. It's also been used in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM).
In these traditions, sandalwood oil has been used with other therapies to help manage:
liver and gallbladder problems
muscle problems
Sandalwood's scent also makes it a popular choice for perfumes and aromatherapy. In aromatherapy, aromatic oils are used to promote mental and physical health outcomes. Many ancient cultures practiced aromatherapy. It remains popular among some people today.
Few of the traditional uses of sandalwood oil have been tested with modern science. There is a lack of studies evaluating the health benefits of sandalwood. This is why scientific research on its health benefits is limited.
Some studies have supported the idea that sandalwood has health perks. For example, research suggests that sandalwood may help:
manage anxiety
support wound healing
guard against skin cancer
fight bacteria
Sandalwood may have anti-inflammatory effects by altering cell signaling in the body. There is some evidence that sandalwood may help decrease inflammation in the case of skin disorders such as psoriasis and atopic dermatitis.
One study of 87 women undergoing a breast biopsy showed that lavender, sandalwood, and orange-peppermint aromatherapy helped reduce their anxiety. Their beginning anxiety levels were self-reported, as were their anxiety levels after the aromatherapy.
Another study of 32 people in Vienna, Austria, had participants inhale lavender and sandalwood oil. The study found that the participants" blood pressure levels were lower and that the cortisol levels in their saliva were lower after the aromatherapy.
Researchers from Ruhr-Universität Bochum in Germany found that skin cells contain olfactory receptors for sandalwood. When they activated those receptors, it appeared to promote skin cell growth.
A study reported in the Archives of Biochemistry and Biophysics suggests a compound found in sandalwood oil may help fight skin cancer. That compound is called α-santalol. Some studies have shown that this component can help promote cell death of cancerous cells.
What type of sandalwood oil should you look for?
The free alcohols found in sandalwood oil are known as santalol. They're responsible for its scent and effects. To meet the international standard for authentic sandalwood oil, a product must have a minimum free alcohol level of 90%.
Because sandalwood oil is in high demand, there are synthetic products on the market. The United States is one of the largest importers of sandalwood oil, so there's a chance you may find lesser quality oils on your local shelves. To improve your chance of finding authentic sandalwood oil, check the label for signs that it's derived from Santalum album. Words like "scented oil" or "perfumed oil" might indicate a synthetic product.
How can sandalwood be used at home?
There are many ways to use sandalwood oil in aromatherapy at home. You can:
put a few drops in an ounce of your favorite lotion
heat it in a small kettle of water to scent your home
evaporate it using an essential oil infuser
mix a few drops with an ounce of carrier oil like sweet almond oil and apply to your skin
Some people have allergic reactions to essential oils. They most often occur when people apply essential oils directly to their skin. If you're concerned about an allergic reaction, test a small amount of sandalwood oil mixed with a carrier oil or lotion on a small patch of your skin. Wait to see if you react before using larger amounts.
Although concrete medical proof is lacking, sandalwood oil may have many health benefits. More research is needed to confirm the health benefits of sandalwood oil. In the meantime, the scent alone may be comforting and enjoyable. That may be reason enough to give aromatherapy with sandalwood oil a try.

James Blake's New Album Wears His Heart On Its Sleeve
The Colour In Anything shows an artist at his most unfashionably sincere, and his best.
By Aimee Cliff
The Colour In Anything cover art by Quentin Blake
Like many British kids—particularly those who loved to disappear into books—I have a deeply harbored attachment to the work of writer Roald Dahl and illustrator Quentin Blake. So much so that the dark-humored children's author (and sometime eroticist) and the scrappy artist are inseparable in my mind. In the Blake-illustrated editions of Dahl's books that I pored over as a child, his scrawls often worked as punchlines in the narrative rather than simple decoration. Sometimes they were terrifying, often they were crude and funny.
James Blake was also a British kid, and I suspect one who also liked to disappear into books. For him to choose the now 83-year-old Quentin Blake to illustrate his surprise-released album, The Colour In Anything, is a peculiarly intimate choice; and, frankly, a not especially cool one. It's not the done thing for boundary-pushing electronic musicians to choose to have their work illustrated by octogenarian national treasures. The cover's connection to children's fiction is disarming—and the cover itself retains a Dahl-ish humor, with its naked woman hiding in the branches of the tree, the smirk on Blake's face, and its notably muted colors despite the album's name. Its unapologetically off-trend style might make some balk, but it cements the album, from the first glance, as what it is: an unabashedly sincere piece of work.
Read Next: How James Blake learned to not be alone
Some lines from James Blake profiles published overnight sound themselves like Roald Dahl outtakes with their surreal, barbed humor. Devon Maloney, for Pitchfork, notes with tongue in cheek that Blake "looks like a man who is perfectly comfortable out in the open, among humans." Dorian Lynskey for The Guardian observes, "he is no longer lonely, no longer defensive, no longer a little bit of a prick." What's interesting about both of these descriptions is that they seem to suggest Blake was once a two-dimensional storybook villain, now grown into a fully fledged human being. Perhaps it would be truer to note that his artistic scope has outgrown the two-dimensional media narrative that existed of his character (that is: the perpetually moody sad boy).
He's always been a human being, but he hasn't always been so adventurous musically, nor so willing to let the outside world into his inner life, as he is on The Colour In Anything. At its core, Colour is the most singer-songwriter album Blake has ever produced—as with his recent Beyoncé collaboration "Forward," every song sounds like it began its life at the piano. Yet it also reaches far and wide for some of the strangest sounds and arrangements he's ever dreamt up. It's playful, with an almost childlike curiosity. "Waves Know Shores" sails on a bed of epic brass, while "Two Men Down" makes use of haunted-fairground synths. His vocal experiments are weirder, too: On "Noise Above Me," Blake throws back his head for the most raw and full-hearted vocal performance of his career, and then duets with a digitally altered, menacingly low second version of his own voice. The unpredictable twists of each track make you visualize Blake—as the long-legged, scrawled figure of his album cover—bounding around his studio, electric with excitement about each new sound.
Among all this, the anchor is Blake's poetic writing voice. It's not that he hasn't been disarmingly honest before: in particular on his 2013 LP Overgrown, he's always wielded uncomfortably truthful lyrics as sonic weapons. But on Colour, he finds a new nuance, mixing mundane observations in with sweeping gestures. It has the right balance of light and darkness to feel not overly sombre, or too close to the bone, but just truthful—almost Dahl-like. Track titles like "Put That Away And Talk To Me" elicit a wry smile. From its first line, the album demands attention (I can't believe you don't wanna see me), then shuns it (there's a mirror in my room I never use—"f.o.r.e.v.e.r."). Blake's unafraid to express desperately ugly emotions, so much so that they become coldly beautiful, as on the listless refrain of "Modern Soul": I want it to be over. This is an album about love, and it feels like as many different things as that entails.
Abandoning all veils and pretence in favor of total openness seems like the most natural way forward for Blake, and a fitting move for an artist in his position. In 2016, we are awash with niche underground microgenres that come with their impenetrable layers of anonymity and irony, but the stars that crack through to global consciousness are those that lay everything bare. It's in Kanye's embrace of gospel on "Ultralight Beam," Bon Iver's vulnerable falsetto, Beyoncé singing about suicide and divorce on "Sorry." It's why we remember Frank Ocean's letter. Blake, who has worked with all of these artists in some capacity, is now painting with the same brush. When I interviewed him in 2013 around the release of his second album Overgrown, he told me even then that he simply wanted to "make songs that could pierce as much as my favourite songs do." Colour is full of them.
One of the album's most purely distilled moments is its final track, "Meet You In The Maze." In the sparse loneliness of its vocal, it vaguely recalls "I Never Learned To Share" from Blake's self-titled debut, a track where he swilled around the repeated lyric, My brother and my sister don't speak to me/ But I don't blame them. This time, though, he's reaching outwards. I saw those Northern Lights, he sings. I wanted you to see them. As the album closes on the brutally and beautifully direct line Music can't be everything, Blake stares out of his creation with open eyes. Rather than sinking into the solitude of his music-making, he's asking you to see him, empathise with him, and join him. From the inside out, his new record displays the one trait that someone in a fashionable, elusive position is never supposed to display: total sincerity. And it suits him well.

Enlisting in the military requires you to go through some rigorous tests and procedures, not the least of which is a full medical screening. There are a few health conditions that will automatically disqualify you from military service. But the good news is, there are many, many more conditions that are not automatically disqualifying, and these can often be overlooked or waived. If you suffer from high blood pressure (hypertension), you are likely still eligible for military service.
Talk to your recruiter. These guys are trained to get you into the Army, and they will be able to tell you a lot about what the medical examiners are looking for.
Do not volunteer information to the medical examiners. Do not lie, but if they don't ask you about your blood pressure, don't bring it up.
Know the Army regulation on medical conditions so that you are aware of how high your blood pressure is compared to the standard set by the Army. According to Army Regulation 40-501, blood pressure levels are disqualifying if your diastolic measurement is higher than 90 mmHg and your systolic measurement is higher than 140 mmHg.
Take steps to control your blood pressure prior to submitting to the enlistment medical examination. The Mayo Clinic suggests the following ways to reduce high blood pressure within a few weeks and without medication: exercising a minimum of 30 minutes a day, losing weight, increasing your intake of whole grains, fruits, and vegetables, and reducing your intake of sodium, caffeine, alcohol and tobacco.
Request a waiver if you are disqualified at your first medical screening. Waivers are granted often for medical conditions, so don't despair. Your recruiter will start the appeal for you according to the process outlined in USAREC Regulation 601-56. The request for a medical waiver is submitted through the recruiting battalion up to the USAREC headquarters, where your case will be reviewed by an Army surgeon.
Admitting to your recruiter that you have high blood pressure will not cause you to be disqualified from the military, and in fact, your recruiter will be interested in helping you.
Don't wait until you start the enlistment process to begin worrying about your hypertension. Running is not only going to help your blood pressure, but hitting the pavement a few times a week leading up to your enlistment is going to help you pass the mandatory physical training tests you have to take all the time in the Army.

Researching Online to Find a Military School in Idaho Falls, Idaho for a Troubled Boy?
Perhaps you will consider Heartland Boys Academy, in Western Kentucky. It is an affordable adventure-based boarding school that only enrolls at-risk boys, age 12-17, who have gotten off track in life.
With the structure and order of a military school, wayward teenage boys become respectful, confident leaders and responsible citizens. Heartland Boys Academy in Western Kentucky is not a military school, but it has a very disciplined program made more exciting for troubled boys due to it being an adventure-based Christian boarding school. It is an early intervention school whose mission is to lead struggling teenagers to fulfill their specific purpose, or destiny, in Christ.
Teens attend Heartland Boys Academy from across the nation, including from Idaho Falls, Idaho. Parents often find it constructive to spend time in a new environment away from their boy's negative peers.
Heartland Boys Academy in Western Kentucky also has a lot of discipline, but it is mainly an adventure-based boarding school like no other. We include an accredited school, as well as a working ranch and farm offering competitive team sports, a spiritual emphasis, and hands-on vocational training. All of these are designed to bring about new interests and hope, to change in a boy's heart and life.
Spiritual life is also the cornerstone aspect of Heartland Boys Academy. We are committed to introducing every teen to his Maker. Many teenagers who enroll have rebelled against their spiritual heritage or have never professed any faith. This program offers an open environment for them to take ownership of their faith, perhaps for the first time.
Heartland Boys Academy exclusively enrolls troubled or at-risk boys. Besides helping capable students get back on track academically, we present specific leadership training to unlock the potential in each teenager. We teach teens to serve and love each other. Community service projects and real jobs give real-life experience and application of the leadership principles learned at Heartland.
Boys who attend Heartland Boys Academy go to a fully accredited high school that employs a model of classroom and independent study. Students work through courses, with weekly objectives established by instructors based on the student's chosen course work. Courses are offered for all levels, up to Honors and AP classes. Heartland also supports students to prepare for post-secondary goals by offering assistance with SAT and ACT testing and college applications.
The caring staff here at Heartland Boys Academy acknowledges that teens and their parents today face huge challenges from the culture. Teens are surrounded by a barrage of negative peer pressure. The Heartland model for change is called Positive Peer Culture (PPC), which asserts that teens can develop self-worth, significance, dignity, and responsibility only as they embrace the positive values of helping and caring for others.
Many boys in our military school program turn from their self-destructive behavior to a desire for serving others. If your teenage boy needs order and discipline to change his direction, please consider Heartland.
Athletics at Heartland Boys Academy play a role in leadership development and character maturation as part of a teenager's development as a whole person. Every teen is asked to play at least one sport because of the important values that can be learned. Heartland Boys Academy offers a number of athletic outlets.

We walked each morning to this amazing little french bakery/breakfast spot. The homemade granola, with fruit and yogurt was soooo deliciious! Topped off with a fabulous fresh baked chocolate croissant, OVER THE TOP !! don't miss it on your visit to Chiang Mai.
This local, low cost, high quality bakery with competent and efficient staff should not be missed. We went for breakfast almost daily and took bread and bakery back to our serviced apartment. If you are driving there is ample street parking.
We came here for breakfast at 2pm. I had the granola which was super delicious and a very big portion! The staff was really sweet and friendly. It's located at a street which is a bit louder. But I would come back again.
Great little bistro, great coffee, we had the French toast and granola and fruit with cafe latte. French owner came out to say hello. Hit the spot when you are craving a western breakfast!
Amazing breakfast, amazing owner and his wife. Typical French food, great croissants, Benedict, granolas etc! And opened early!
Great spot to drop in for a fresh sandwich and relaxing coffee for a late lunch after an early temple tour. Succulent and tasty meals served in a nice clean atmosphere by friendly staff.
It was very busy when we were here so that's says something about how good it is. The quiche was delicious. The egg tuna and salad roll was fresh and full of delicious ingredients. The cakes, well I didn't know which one to choose from.
Get quick answers from L'opera French Bakery staff and past visitors.
This is more a casual breakfast/lunch bakery so no set menu. There are about 10 tables - inside and outside. The quality of the baked goods - croissants/pain au raisin etc is amazing. On street parking but most people avoid driving and walk everywhere.


What is Welcome to Country and how is it applied?
caption: Dr. Alita Rigney conducts "Welcome to Country" at Apology 2015 Recognising the Survivors Breakfast.
A Welcome to Country is where a Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander traditional owner, custodian or Elder welcomes people to their land. Protocols for welcoming visitors to Country have been part of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures for thousands of years.
Welcome to Country always occurs at the opening of an event and is usually the first item on the program. The local Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander custodian or traditional owner conducts the ceremony and this may be done through a speech, song, ceremony or a combination of these things. It is important for the traditional owners to be comfortable with the arrangements. Organisers need to spend time talking with local Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander people to identify the traditional owners and explaining to them the type of public event which is being organised and how best to prepare for this. Organisers are advised to also seek advice on who should perform the Welcome to Country, according to cultural protocols and advice from local Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander people from that Country.
We would like to Acknowledge that the land we meet on today is the traditional lands for the Kaurna people and that we respect their spiritual relationship with their Country. We also acknowledge the Kaurna people as the traditional custodians of the Adelaide region and that their cultural and heritage beliefs are still as important to the living Kaurna people today.
The Statement of Acknowledgement is to be read out at the commencement of gatherings held within the Adelaide region.
Click here to download this statement, if you wish to use it.
We acknowledge and respect the traditional custodians whose ancestral lands we are meeting upon here today. We acknowledge the deep feelings of attachment and relationship of Aboriginal peoples to Country. We also pay respects to the cultural authority of Aboriginal peoples visiting / attending from other areas of South Australia / Australia present here.
The above Welcome to Country wording is provided for use / adaptation as appropriate for events and gatherings that take place outside the metropolitan area. This statement does not preclude direct naming and acknowledgement of traditional owners where this is specifically known.
What is "Acknowledgement of Country?"
An Acknowledgement of Country is a way of showing respect and awareness of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander owners of the land on which a meeting or event is being held, and of recognising the continuing connection of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples to their Country. It is a demonstration of respect dedicated to the traditional custodians of the land or sea where the gathering of participants is being conducted. Government agencies and community organisations are adopting the practice of acknowledging the traditional custodians of country at events, ceremonies, meetings and functions.

Major destinatioons currently not (yet) linked by rail are often served by Supratours, a bus company operated by the ONCF.


Health Benefits of Tamari : TAMARI (Wheat-Free Soy Sauce) : MITOKU COMPANY, LTD. - Organic Japanese Foods Exporter.
Like shoyu and miso Tamari is a fermented soy food, and it shares many of miso's medicinal and nutritional properties while avoiding the problems associated with unfermented soy foods. (See Miso Health Benefits.) Scientists have given particular attention to the high concentration of "brown pigment" in tamari because of its strong anti-oxidant and anti-cancer properties. Tamari is said to aid in the digestion of grains and vegetables while being rich in several minerals. Unlike shoyu, tamari does not contain wheat and is an excellent seasoning for those on a wheat free diet. Because many of the health promoting qualities of fermented soyfoods are due to the soybean content, tamari is often considered the most health promoting variety of soysauce. Tamari is a flavorful substitute for salt in all types of cooking.

Orientation Programme for Humanitarian Entrants
The Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister for Social Services, Senator Concetta Fierravanti-Wells today met with Directors from the International Organization for Migration (IOM) in Sydney.
The IOM is responsible for the delivery of the Australian Cultural Orientation (AUSCO) programme to humanitarian entrants before their arrival in Australia.
The AUSCO programme was established in 2003 and is provided to entrants over five years of age once visas are granted before their departure for Australia. IOM has delivered the AUSCO course to more than 60,000 humanitarian entrants from Africa, South Asia, South East Asia and the Middle East.
The Australian Government provided $6.5 million over three years to the IOM to continue to deliver the AUSCO programme.
Senator Fierravanti-Wells, who has special responsibility for Multicultural Affairs and Settlement Services, said this important programme aimed to equip humanitarian entrants with an understanding of Australia's cultural, social and legal requirements.
"This orientation is a critical step to ensure the best possible start to their settlement journey and new life in Australia," Senator Fierravanti-Wells said.
"The AUSCO programme's course materials are being reviewed to ensure new arrivals continue to be given the best start to improve their English, get an education and find employment when they get to Australia."
The review will also look at information on women's status and their participation in Australian society, family safety and entrants' expectations of life in Australia.
Senator Fierravanti-Wells acknowledged the strength of the continuing partnership with IOM in delivering successful settlement outcomes to humanitarian entrants.
AUSCO also links closely with the Humanitarian Settlement Services programme that will see our intake increase over the next four years from 13,750 people to 18,750 people.

6.00pm, Wed 1 Aug 2018 (107 mins)
'Kristen Bell reprises the sassy sleuth role she played for three TV seasons. She's as sharp, engaging and witty as ever. Maturity has only made her more charming. Directed by series creator Rob Thomas the film works as a suspense thriller, and also as a gentle send-up of the genre. It's effective as a sequel to the television series and works just as well as a stand-alone film.
Veronica (Bell) has just graduated from Stanford Law School and seems on her way to an illustrious career at a high-powered New York law firm. But a shocking murder of a former high school classmate lures her back to the sleepy, corrupt, beach town of Neptune, Calif., much to the chagrin of her loving dad, Keith Mars (Enrico Colantoni).'

H.O.S.H from Hamburg / Germany formerly known as Holger Behn, started his producing career about five years ago, with the project Motion 040 together with Jay Pauli.
With Releases on Get Physical, Paloma, Force Sense and Word and Sounds own Wizkidz / Waskidz and Remixes on Labels such like Plusquam or Pias he already got quiet a little bit arround.

In 2005 then Holger decided to get more focused on his solo project H.O.S.H. and a first base was found soon on Oliver Koletzki's Label Stil vor Talent. Then later in 2005 he made up with Mladen Solomun and Adriano Trolio who where about to come up with the Label Diynamic Music.
With several releases on Diynamic and Stil vor Talent, H.O.S.H. really found his definition of modern House. His tunes are for all wanting to escape the scene grind but still want to stay on the dancefloor, because H.O.S.H. tracks are always special in a way, resulting out of his claim to try something new, because for him there are no boundaries and everything is allowed as far as you give it an understanding for the people and the floor.
With this concept he already earned a lot of respect and his tracks are played and charted by dj's such like Dj T, Karotte, Martin Landsky, Kiki, Tiger Stripes, Oliver Koletzki, Dan Berkson, Benno Blome and Sebo K. just to name a few.
His most known track so far probably is 'Steppenwolf' which made it in the groove charts on place 18 and got relicensed on a few compilations worldwide.

The drama continues for former Southern Charm stars Thomas Ravenel and Ashley Jacobs. Rumors have been flying that the two got married last weekend, but it looks like that didn't happen. However, despite the fact that both of them have said they aren't returning to Southern Charm for Season 6, a new report claims they are in talks with Bravo to come back.
But, Ravenel and Jacobs did not get married. There is no evidence that the two obtained a marriage license this past week in Charleston, South Carolina, and Jolly allegedly used to date Jennifer Snowden, who has made appearances on Southern Charm in past seasons.
It has been difficult keeping up with Ravenel and Jacobs since Season 5 ended in June. After she insisted at the reunion that the two were still together, a few weeks later on Instagram Jacobs posted that the two had broken up. Then, Ravenel confirmed on Twitter that they had split.
But now, the couple is showing up all over Charleston and looking happy together in pictures. So, what their relationship status is at this point is anybody's guess.
As for their possible return to Southern Charm, LALATE is reporting that they are both "highly likely" to come back for Season 6. Since Season 5 just ended a few weeks ago and they have yet to start shooting new episodes, none of the cast members have signed a contract for next season. There have also reportedly been no decisions made regarding cast changes, but we should find out in the next 60 days if Jacobs and Ravenel will be returning.
Is it possible that the two have gotten engaged — or at least floated the story online — in an attempt to renegotiate a contract? Jacobs did tell People Magazine recently that she would like to come back for another season. So, who knows what they would possibly do to keep their spots on the Bravo reality show?
Of course, Ravenel is still under investigation by the Charleston police because of accusations of sexual assault. He didn't appear on the reunion show last season because of it, so it would come as a surprise to many if he did return.
But last year, Jacobs moved from California to South Carolina after dating Ravenel for just a few weeks, and she seems to enjoy being a reality star.
"I've heard talks that I'm coming back, and then I haven't heard anything. I haven't heard anything directly. It's still up in the air," Jacobs said.
She added that Bravo hasn't asked her to return, but they haven't said "no" either. And, maybe they are waiting until the last second because she isn't a full-time cast member. Ashley Jacobs also revealed that she would like to come back so she could have a "redemption story" like Kathryn Dennis did. She says she wouldn't fight or play dirty. Instead, she would smile and be nice.
Thomas Ravenel has yet to comment on the latest round of rumors.
Do we really need to be subjected to the Thomas and Trashley train wreck slow ride drama into the depths of hell again?? I think the show can serve without them. I personally don't want to sit back and watch a West coast gold digger try and make amends with others for her crazy, off the meds behavior. Nor do I wish to watch a so called rapists try and redeem himself because he couldn't keep it in his pants and kn9w what the word NO meant. If Hay Maker production brings them back, I'm not watching, I'm not going to help keep those two nut jobs relevant.

JP Morgan Chase trading loss
Harpooning the JPMorgan Chase Whale
Submitted by Robert Oak on March 16, 2013 - 3:44pm
The Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations is making the JPMorgan Chase the poster child for what is wrong with derivatives trades generally. The subcommittee issued a 301 page report and also held a hearing, JPMorgan Chase Whale Trades: A Case History of Derivatives Risks and Abuses.

Jamie's Round Up
The Senate Committee on Banking held a hearing, A Breakdown in Risk Management: What Went Wrong at JPMorgan Chase? They had one witness, JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon.
This one man apology show is about the $2 billion or greater trading loss JPMorgan Chase incurred due to speculative derivatives.
Truth be told the hearing was softball, not a grilling. This should be no surprise since JPMorgan Chase gives a lot of campaign contributions including those on the Senate Banking Committee.
Dimon revealed very little about the trade and not much more about his knowledge of it. He refused to discuss details of it, lest he reveal secrets to competitors -- who already know all about the trade and have been hammering JPMorgan on it, adding to the bank's losses. But the committee didn't challenge him on that, even after he turned down an offer to close the hearing to the public.
Bloomberg's story quote implies the Senators plain don't understand derivatives:

Jamie Dimon Eats $2 Billion Worth of Crow
Submitted by Numerian on May 11, 2012 - 7:33am
If you are the CEO of a major global bank and you have to announce a $2.0 billion trading loss, you will no doubt feel that the shareholders, regulators, and reporters are all against you. But if you announce that the loss occurred in a portfolio that just six weeks earlier was the subject of criticism in the press, and which you described as nothing more than "a tempest in a teapot", you are entitled to feel that the gods are against you.
The gods definitely have it in for Jaime Dimon, CEO of JP Morgan Chase, the legendary "fortress balance sheet" bank that prides itself on having avoided problems during the housing bust and credit crisis of 2007-2008. Someone inside the bank blew a large cannonball through the bank's fortress walls, and it seems likely to have been "the Whale" of the credit derivatives market, JP Morgan's Bruno Michel Iksil.

Adrian Dominican Congregation Receives Two Awards from Catholic Media Association
June 25, 2021, Chicago – The Adrian Dominican Congregation received two awards from the Catholic Media Association for a video and for its 2020-2021 Annual Report.
The Catholic Media Association announced the awards on June 10, 2021, at the end of its virtual annual conference. Normally, during in-person conferences, the awards are announced at a closing awards banquet.
The Adrian Dominican Sisters received the following awards:
"Hope for Haina," a video produced as part of a series of Christmas fundraising videos, took Honorable Mention in the category of Best Freestanding Presentation of an Online Video: Social Justice Issues. The video explores the work and the benefits of a medical clinic, supported by the Adrian Dominican Sisters, that has offered healthcare and hope to roughly 15,000 children and adults living in Bajos de Haina, Dominican Republic. Recognized for this project were Ashley (LaVigne) Concord, Project Coordinator and Interviewer, and Scott Miller, Videographer and Editor.
"The Greatest of These Is Love," the 2020-2021 Annual Report for the Adrian Dominican Congregation, took third place in the category of Best Annual Report for a Catholic Nonprofit Organization. "This report excels in its attention to specific, tangible outcomes from donor donations, as well as contextualizing profiles in terms of their financial need and reliance on donations," the judges wrote. Among those recognized for the project were Angela Kessler, Editor; Amy Palmer, Director of Development; Barbara Kelley, OP, Writer; and Ashley Duke, Graphic Designer.
The video and annual report involved the team efforts of the Adrian Dominican Congregation's Development and Communications Departments.

Ballerina DMV takes eighth at U.S. Nationals.
Ballerina DMV of Pemberton's Dreamcatcher Meadows stable fought the heat in the dressage ring and in the Illinois air, finishing eighth for four-year-old Hanoverians at the U.S. Nationals at the Lamplight Equestrian Centre in Fort Wayne.
But the filly retains her overall first place position in her age category for Horse of the Year over the course of the season, and Jill Giese of Dreamcatcher Meadows was pleased with the results of Ballerina's biggest competition to date.
The competition took place from Aug. 22 to 26, with 780 horses from across North America taking part and the top 15 in each age category invited to the final.
Ballerina was flown to Illinois, her first time on an airplane, by Fed Ex, arriving a few days before competition started. Giese's husband John Dingle, who rode Ballerina in competition, was tasked with helping her recover and acclimatize to the 90-plus degree heat.
"We had an incredible time and Ballerina was just amazing... such a trooper. Going in that container and getting on that plane, and doing everything she did at the show, what a big heart that horse has," Giese said.
Geise said it was a test for the future, including travel to competitions outside the Pacific Northwest.
"She certainly showed she could play, and the company she kept was absolutely phenomenal. I've never seen a collection of horses like that before. It really was magnificent to see that many animals of incredible quality in one place," she added.
"It's difficult to get invited to compete, let alone get in the final. People were extraordinarily kind, it seemed like everybody knew who we were. People that I've only read about before were coming up and introducing themselves and saying how much they liked our horses."
Dressage is an expensive sport in which to aim for the top level, Geise added, and taking Ballerina this far would not have been possible without the input of owner Bus Fuller and Earl's Restaurant and Joey's who "stepped up to the plate and made the whole thing possible."
The dressage program finals in the U.S. has been growing over recent years, in an attempt to emulate the European model, Giese said, with more categories being developed for different age categories.
"It has become very prestigious over the years. As Canadians, we don't have that sort of program at all. It was only by virtue of the fact that (Ballerina) is co-owned by an American that we were able to participate," she said.
Geise said she was now pulling together a proposal to establish a similar program in this country.
"It's like everything. Canada is underfunded and undermanned, and it's a case of this is a fabulous idea but if you're going to run with it you're going to have to administer it," she said, laughing.
Dreamcatcher Meadows currently has five horses in the top 10 ranking in the U.S. for Horse of the Year, in their various age categories.
"Launcelot is sitting at number two for three year olds, Ballerina is leading for four year olds. We've got another one that's sitting fourth, another at second. It's just extraordinary... and all have been born in Pemberton!" Giese said.

Q: Как показывать hint у combobox при перемещении в выпавшем списке элементов выбора? Есть combobox со списком элементов. У каждого из них в коллекции Objects имеется некоторое описание. Как показывать это описание в виде hint'a при перемещении по элементам списка? Есть ли у компонента combobox событие, которое происходит при перемещении в выпавшем списке?
Спасибо.

A: На основании найденной ссылки на аналогичный вопрос, можно применить следующий подход. Однако, насколько я понял, это требует ручной отрисовки элементов комбобокса.
В общем и целом, необходимо обработать сообщение WM_DRAWITEM, параметром которого является структура DRAWITEMSTRUCT или для delphi -
TDrawItemStruct.
Мой ответ не полностью соответствует вопросу, но показывает что-то приближенное. Тут простейший вывод элементов комбобокса, и вместо хинта текущий элемент над которым находится мышь добавляется в TMemo.
Итак для перехвата сообщения WM_DRAWITEM добавляем в класс формы соответствующий метод. Также необходимо установить Style компонента в OwnerDraw, иначе данное сообщение мы получать не будем.
private
  procedure wmDrawItem(var msg : TWMDrawItem); message WM_DRAWITEM;

и переходим к его реализации (комбобокс имеет name = testComboBox):
procedure TTestForm.wmDrawItem(var msg: TWMDrawItem);
var item : string;
begin
    if(msg.DrawItemStruct.hwndItem = testComboBox.Handle) then begin

        item := testComboBox.Items[msg.DrawItemStruct.itemID];

        TextOut(msg.DrawItemStruct.hDC,
                msg.DrawItemStruct.rcItem.Left,
                msg.DrawItemStruct.rcItem.Top,
                PWideChar(item),
                length(item));

        if(msg.DrawItemStruct.itemAction = ODA_SELECT) then begin
            if(msg.DrawItemStruct.itemState = ODS_SELECTED) then begin
                memo1.Lines.Add(item);
            end;
        end;
    end;
end;

Здесь сначала проверяется, что сообщение прислано искомому комбобоксу. Затем надо отрисовать пункт меню. Для этого мы вытаскиваем текущий элемент item. Это мы делаем всегда, для любого пункта (т.е. меню рисуем вручную, это  тема для отдельного вопроса). В данном случае элементарный TextOut.
Далее уже непосредственная проверка itemAction и itemState структуры, о которых можно почитать по ссылке, приведенной выше.
В результате работы данного кода при перемещении указателя мыши над элементами выпадающего меню текущий пункт добавляется в memo1.
Ответ не претендует на корректность кода, а только демонстрирует подход к решению задачи
В принципе, наверное, тот же код можно реализовать с помощью события OnDrawItem.

belle maison: Mixing it up!
I always admire designers who have no fear when it comes to mixing lots of different patterns together in a room. This is one area I struggle with - I tend to avoid mixing too many different patterns together and end up playing it safe...which sometimes can be boring. What I've noticed in many of these photos is that pattern is used almost to the point of exaggeration - patterned carpet, walls, pillows, drapery, etc. However, I think this is why it works for most of these rooms - you kind of need to go a little over-the-top to really pull it off. Another tip is to mix patterns that are different scales; pairing a large print with a smaller one creates a sense of balance.
All these mixed patterns work well because the colour scheme and style used are very consistent and classy. Beautiful shots!
What great inspiration for mixing it up!!
I get scared about mixing pattern, too, especially when they aren't the same colors. But the end result (of effective mixing)is one that looks warm, collected, and personal. Who wouldn't want that?
I completely agree! I think the ability to layer pattern on pattern is the sign of a GREAT designer - I'm still trying to get there!
These are beautiful rooms...and very clever use of different patterns.
I love the rocking chair!!!
i love it when designers show rooms that has mix of styles/era... because that's what us normal budget-conscious people can only do.

FPL 2021/22: Alternative GW8 Wildcard Draft
For many in the FPL community, GW8 has come round as the best time to activate the wildcard. Fixture swings, injuries and form have all prompted many to pull the trigger. Below, I'll be putting together a draft that I would pick if I were on wildcard this week.
I have deliberately chosen this draft where, fixtures dependent, there are up to 13 players you'd be happy to start in any of the approaching gameweeks. This is in the main due to the fact that there are a couple of players in the squad who are maybe prone to rotation, so having this backup could be necessary.
At the time of writing, this draft costs £100.2m. I'm going off the assumption that most people's team value excedes this mark. You may already own some of the players who have gone up in price. For example, most will have had Mo Salah (£12.7m) since the start of the season when he cost £12.5m so his current price of £12.7m will be irrelevant.
Aaron Ramsdale (£4.6m)
It may have come as a surprise to some to see Aaron Ramsdale usurp Bernd Leno (£4.8m) as Arsenal's number one, but he has certainly justified Arteta's decision thus far. He is therefore likely to continue to keep Leno out of the side so selecting a keeper priced that low playing in one of the best defenses in the league feels like a sensible option. Arsenal have conceded only once in their last four contests and have a prolonged period of fairly kind matches.
Ben Foster (£4.0m)
The 39 year old is almost a no-brainer if you're opting for the £4.5m/£4.0m combination. He displaced Daniel Bachmann (£4.4m) in the Watford team as of Gameweek 5. Even if new manager Claudio Ranieri decides to reintegrate Bachmann into the starting 11, at £4.0m you're hardly expecting much anyway.
Trent Alexander Arnold (£7.5m)
Over the past couple of weeks, the idea of wildcarding without TAA has been gathering pace. Many have sacrificed him in order to afford three premium attackers. I still, however, believe that there is nobody in the game who represents as much value as him and this is the primary reason for his inclusion in this draft.
Another thing to consider is the fact that Liverpool have the early kick off slot in GW8. This potentially bodes well for team leaks before the deadline which could be significant for those seeking clarity on his fitness.
If the right-back is ruled out of the Watford game, it might be worth punting on a player for one week with enough in the bank to buy him back. If this is the case, a Brighton defender might be the best option for this week, as they play Norwich before embarking on a pretty difficult run.
Joao Cancelo (£6.2m)
Once again, the Man City defender has been attracting plenty of attention because of his early season exploits. Two 12 point returns as well as three six pointers is impressive by any standards, yet Cancelo often gives the impression that he could provide even more. His creative numbers throughout last season and at the start of this one have been frankly ridiculous.
Given that he started on six points more often than not due to how strong City's defence is gives more credence to the idea of selecting him. As if any more reason were needed, an assist almost certainly results in him taking three bonus points home.
Thus, there is little reason not to go with the Portuguese player on wildcard. The only slight concern is that, like most City players, he is a rotation risk. Ironically Burnley might be the exact type of game he is left out in after playing every game so far but the potential points gain far outweighs this worry. The odd rest is inevitable, but chances are he will more than make up for that in the matches he plays.
Andreas Christensen (£5.0m)
As expected, Chelsea have been one of the most reliable defenses in the league. A record of four clean sheets in seven appears even more impressive when you consider the fact that they have already played Liverpool, Arsenal, Man City and Spurs in that run.
What some may not have expected, is that Christensen would play the majority of games. Although he has missed two of Chelsea's seven league matches, at only £5.0m, he still represents incredible value.
Furthermore, whenever he doesn't start, he has never been brought on. If you have a strong enough bench, then Christensen may well be worth the saving over some of his team mates. If you do rather the luxury of a high team value, then going for somebody like Antonio Rudiger (£5.8m) maybe wise but I have chosen Christensen in order to maximise this draft.
Rico Henry (£4.5m)
Including the Brentford fullback may well raise a fey eyebrows. Henry has had a fairly inauspicious start to the season and isn't even the highest scoring Brentford defender. Both Ethan Pinnock (£4.6m) and Pontus Jansson (£4.6m) have scored 38 points in comparison to his 24. Despite this, Henry presents the higher upside out of all of the bees' defenders.
Although Thomas Frank adopts a 352 formation with Henry and Sergi Canos (£5.5m) as wingbacks, the pair often play in a front 4 with Ivan Toney (£6.3m) and Bryan Mbeumo (£5.5m). Having a player effectively out of position as a forward at this value who plays in a team which has had a sturdy defence seems too good an opportunity to ignore.
Immediately, he doesn't massively appeal as they play Chelsea and Leicester in their next two. Following this, they face all of the current bottom three between gameweeks 10 and 12. His ownership is also next to nothing so he has the added bonus of being a huge differential.
Tino Livramento (£4.2m)
Similarly to Foster, Livramento is a bit of a no-brainer on wildcard if you're playing three or four at the back. Having broken through into the Southampton team at the start of the season, he has impressed hugely.
His attacking play has been particularly outstanding and he has looked like returning on multiple occasions. To add to his appeal, Southampton's run of Leeds, Burnley, Watford, Aston Villa and Norwich in their next 5 is as good as any so he could quite conceiv be a starting option even at his price.
Mohamed Salah (£12.7m)
There's little we can say about this man that hasn't already been said. Simply put, he's probably the in form player on the planet at the moment and as he proved with his 13 pointer against Manchester City, is a legitimate captaincy option in any fixture. One blank all season and six goals in seven is the type of consistency that just cannot be ignored. Going without him could be FPL suicide.
Heung-Min Son (£10.1m)
This maybe another play whose selection may seem a bit strange. In the immediacy, Tottenham's fixtures aren't the best on the face of it. Following their assignment at Newcastle, they face West Ham, Man United and Everton all of whom have an FDR of four on the the Premier League website. However, none of these sides have been brilliant defensively and Son has regularly shown that he can score in any game.
Moreover, Whenever he scores, he generally ends up in double figures due to bonus points of which he has already picked up six from four returns. With Harry Kane (£12.1m) misfiring, there is added impetus on him to perform and I believe that he could be a superb investment going forward. Between GW12 and 15, his run is such that he presents a genuine captaincy option in all of them.
Phil Foden (£7.9m)
Trying to pick a a Man City midfielder besides Kevin De Bruyne (£11.9m) is an impossible task, just ask owners of Ferran Torres (£6.9m). Despite this, I feel that selecting Foden is a risk worth taking.
He has started against both Chelsea and Liverpool arguably their 2 most difficult games of the season. This shows that he is increasingly looking like one of Pep's main men. Yet, there is always the risk of rotation.
There is a theory that Foden plays more often in the harder matches than the easier ones which may reduce his minutes over the coming weeks. In spite of this worry, he is now such an important cog in City's team he will start the vast majority of games.
Bryan Mbeumo (£5.5m)

Mbeumo has appeared on the radars of managers after putting in some excellent performances recently. Perhaps the aspect of Mbeumo's play that is most promising from a fantasy perspective is the fact that he is playing in a front two alongside Toney. Having a player listed as a midfielder of such a cheap price for a team playing so well is the stuff of FPL dreams and should therefore be pounced upon.
Josh Brownhill (£4.4m)
I'll try and keep this one as brief as possible. Essentially, the selection of Brownhill comes down to the fact that he is the cheapest playing midfielder in the game. The structure of this team probably sees him 3rd on your bench every week. He'll probably tick over with regular 2 pointers and the odd 3 which is all you can really ask for from someone at that price.
Romelu Lukaku (£11.7m)
At the start of the campaign, many had pinpointed this period as the time to bring in Chelsea's front man. A run of three league games without scoring has people questioning whether he is actually worth the premium price. Regardless of this concern, Chelsea's upcoming run is still far too good to ignore.
If there's one criticism that Lukaku, rightly or wrongly, has faced throughout his time in the Premier League previously, its that he is a flat track bully. If this is the case, then one suspects that there'll be plenty of bullying on show in the coming weeks.
Moreover, Lukaku appears the best captaincy option in many of the upcoming fixtures. In GW9 for example, Lukaku comes up against Norwich whereas Liverpool and Man United play each other and Tottenham go to West ham so he is by far the standout option. As such, its difficult to argue against Lukaku being the second premium pick on wildcard.
Ivan Toney (£6.3m)
On the surface, having three Brentford may seem like putting too many eggs in a not very secure basket, however their upcoming fixture run along with how cheap their players are significant decreases the risk.
Hee-Chan Hwang (£5.6m)
With scores of eight points and 13 points in GW5 and GW7, he looks set to retain his place in the side. Wolves' matches are pretty kind for a prolonged period. Before Liverpool in GW15, they don't face any of last season's top six.
There are a couple of concerns with this draft. No Man United coverage might be a worry but the nature of their imminent fixture run suggests that there are far better options out there so they are avoidable for the foreseeable. As previously stated, having three Brentford may seem like overkill but for the potential value they represent, I feel that it is a viable play on wildcard.

Umang Patel
Conway Management Inc.
Umang Patel's family moved to Conway in 1982 to run a motel, and he grew up watching his parents do everything they had to to keep it going while raising three children.
They inspired him to enter the hospitality industry and to teach his own children that life won't just hand you everything you want; you must work for it.
Patel graduated from the University of Central Arkansas, where he double majored in computer information systems and finance. His first job was at one of his family's hotels, in maintenance. He recalled that, even when he completed every other task, there were always more cigarette butts to pick up around the property.
Now he manages four hotels in Conway and has helped set up others in the region.
He loves that the industry is always in flux. "What's new today is old tomorrow, and some processes and procedures we do today are outdated tomorrow. So it's ever-changing. It's highly competitive, but you learn a lot," Patel said.
"At times, it does get very challenging because it feels like you're a firefighter in the middle of a forest fire. It just depends on how big your hose is and how much water is coming out of it."


While North Americans are among the most productive people on the planet, we're not very good about taking time to recharge our batteries. Sure, it's not uncommon to sacrifice vacation days for working longer hours, but science has proven this isn't the best way to get ahead.
Not only that, but emerging research suggests that this constant busyness is a large part of the reason younger adults in the Generation Z and millennial crowds are among the loneliest generations.
Now, you don't have to tell RVers that traveling with a rig offers freedom, flexibility and the chance to get some much-needed fresh air. But did you know RV travel can promote a healthier, more balanced life? RVing by its very nature brings together myriad things that are all sorts of good for your health—from taking time off, to getting some distance between you and work to getting away from your screen and outdoors.
Below, we take a look at 5 ways the RV lifestyle can restore balance to your physical and mental health.
With no house or offices to hide in, the outdoors becomes your new living room when you're on the road—there's a reason people crave features like power awnings, outdoor kitchens, showers, speakers and TVs. Plus, it's a whole lot easier to put the phone, tablet or laptop down when there's a lake or forest nearby to explore!
Spending extra time outdoors in general can work wonders for your health. One study revealed spending time in nature can help decrease your risk of mental illness, while other research showed that awe can enhance your wellbeing.
Additionally, research has shown that spending time near water can foster creativity, connectedness and encourage meditation. Forest environments, too, have been shown to "enhance stress recovery and restoration in a way in which urban scenes cannot," according to the U.S. National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI).
No need to cite any studies here, burning calories is a good thing. And at the campground or park, you are surrounded by opportunities to do just that. You may take your kayaks with in your toy hauler or attach your mountain bikes to your small trailer, but temptations to try something different, an exciting new calorie-torching activity you might just fall in love with, are all around you. The ambassadors are too—people love encouraging other campers to join their hike, swim or climb.
Should the fun of the experience follow you back home, you may have just discovered a way to keep your workouts fresh, a crucial factor in maintaining long-term fitness.
Eating regimens are easier to maintain when fresh food is available. Thankfully with RV travel, cooking from scratch is relatively easy. Instead of falling back on takeout and comfort food, pick up some fresh produce – it's better for you and more cost-effective.
From snacks to salads, creating tasty meals without blowing your daily calorie allotment just takes a little imagination. Whether you're traveling in a model that comes with a fully-equipped kitchen or you've opted for a smaller pop-up trailer, there are more than a few travel and camp-friendly recipes that are family-friendly (and easy on your wallet).
Studies have shown unstructured play can help build confidence, promote creativity and imagination, and teach responsibility.
Beyond that, outdoor play provides exercise (which can boost kids' moods and is especially beneficial to kids with ADHD) and a different type of stimulation than indoor play and screen time. While it might not seem as stimulating as, say, a videogame, nature activates all of your senses, providing a richer overall experience.
RVing means you get complete control over your schedule and itinerary—which can eliminate a large amount of anxiety that's par for the course with other types of travel. If you want to spend a few extra days somewhere? No problem. You can do just that without having to spend extra money switching departure times or airlines.
While international travel certainly has its own benefits, jet lag has been shown to increase the risk of certain diseases over time, including cancer. Conversely, RV travel means avoiding jet and the risk of picking up the cold or a flu bug in airports and train stations. With your rig, you have the luxury of making your way through different time zones at your own pace.
Plus, after a long day in a new place, you can return to your rig and sleep on your own pillow.
One of the beautiful things about RV travel is that you can make it your own. Whether it's these or others, what about RVing makes you feel healthy and recharged? Join the conversation on our Facebook page.

The Secretary of Defense
By Douglas Kinnard
University of Kentucky Press, 1981, 252 pp.
Reviewed by Andrew J. Pierre
By examining in considerable detail the manner in which five "pivotal" Secretaries-Forrestal, Wilson, McNamara, Laird and Schlesinger-pursued their tasks, Douglas Kinnard has written an incisive analysis of the position of Secretary of Defense. Each of them set different priorities and goals; e.g., McNamara concentrated on introducing centralized managerial techniques while Schlesinger focused on improving the United States' strategic situation. Each also operated in a different political milieu and with a different set of high-level relationships, including involvement with the President. Two continuities, however, are the central role of the defense budget in determining policy and the relative decline in influence of the senior military on major issues. An intelligent and skillfully written interpretive history.

Twenty20 cricket – entertainment not sport
There is no way Cricket Australia is going to abandon the Twenty20 cricket concept after its extraordinary public success during the current season. We need to get used to it – and regard it more as entertainment than sport. And remember that watching it live on television is not compulsory!
There is no way Cricket Australia is going to abandon the Twenty20 cricket concept after its extraordinary public success during the current season.
We need to get used to it – and regard it more as entertainment than sport. And remember that watching it live on television is not compulsory!
In an era in which competition for the spectator dollar, not to mention television ratings, is greater than ever, Twenty20 is a godsend for cricket administrators.
If there was any doubt about that then Saturday night's interstate Twenty20 final at the MCG surely dispelled it. The final of the domestic one day competition probably attracts a few thousand spectators, no matter where it is played. The Twenty20 final drew a crowd of 30,000, and that was just 24 hours after almost 80,000 were at the same ground for the Australia v England 50 over match.
But the make up of the crowd seemed different from what you see at a 50 over match, let alone a Test. Younger, more family-oriented, and there for the entertainment as much as the cricket skills.
Fox Sports coverage of the game was excellent. Following the Nine example in the Australia v England Twenty20 earlier in the week, the commentary team spoke throughout the game to a Victorian and Tasmanian player – and the sound microphone was strong enough to pick up what the batsmen said mid-wicket and the banter between the players.
The Victorian player was wicketkeeper Adam Crostwaithe, who proved to be an exceptional choice. Aged just 22, he is spoken of as a possible successor to Adam Gilchrist – and his intelligent "reading" of the game as well as his good humour made it easy to see why.
But we need to regard Twenty20 cricket as entertainment – as well as a significant money spinner for cricket. If that happens – and it is not over-exposed by administrators – then cricket as a whole will benefit.
It clearly attracts "fans" that have little interest in 50 over matches, and none in Test cricket, but there can be no harm in that provided it is not overdone.
And it surely has more credibility than the "beach cricket" nonsense that gets under way this weekend.


It was over the top and reeked slightly of corn, what I wrote in that final sentence last night here in "6:56". But, as I amended it with a note, the sentiment remains. I could not/cannot explain, apparently, what was going through my mind; it would take more than words.
Moving on from that we have Sabbath approaching soon and I shall light candles for it in a bit.
I thumbed again through the B section and have chosen Bartok's Concerto for Orchestra, a recording by the London Symphony led by Sir George Solti. I have begun it early enough that I have the volume up to a lower balcony level in a decent hall. It is stunning, the music that is coming from those grooves.
The idea behind a concerto you know already, that it features one or more instruments prominently at various times. This concerto features the entire orchestra, every part of it coming into its own throughout.
That strikes me as what life in community is like, community as in communal living. The image of the body is used in the New Testament, and it is a very good image. Some parts of the human body are more prominent than others, and this varies, even, by the individual, but life is best—healthier—when each part works with all the others in concert. Community, then, is a concerto for the soul.
Of course, the idea of romantic love and a consequential union of two further strengthen the image. The two unite, and if their idea of sanctified living is to live in community for and with one another, as well as for others (with the others at times), serving the entire body, well, then we have something quite special. And it is all done with and within the One who is with us always, Emmanuel, and for him too.
All of that is what is coming to mind as I listen to this brilliant composition, performed with no discernible flaw. I intend, after this recording, to pull out my second copy of it performed by the Montreal Symphony with Charles Dutoit. I have it on CD, high bit-rate digital, and vinyl. It is another vinyl night, so I will turn the light out and the volume down slightly out of consideration for my neighbor, and as a sign that I do value the idea of the larger community too, and listen to it only by the Sabbath candles (and with the light of shared community, a Sabbath communion).
We could, of course, use concentric circles to illustrate all of this. We will start with the larger, boundless "circle" to represent the One who is All, the holy creator in whom we live and move and have our being. Then we have an actual circle to represent the world community, then a slightly smaller circle perhaps for the community of believers. Many smaller circles become each individual's circle of friends, etc., those whom he/she includes, whoever they are. Near the center is that union of two, a separate thing actually, that is both a closed circle and one with a kind of porous border that allows a flow into and out—to and from—any of the other larger communities. At times, each of the two would become (and indeed, in a way, they remain) an individual circle as unique persons and would separate for a time or no time, even as they are one circle always, within the One boundless noncircle. One and one are three, then.
Maybe this is helpful or not in communicating one of the ways that I see it all as I listen to an entire orchestra in sublime clarity featuring all of its parts as a whole.
I have just begun the second recording, and it is the one. Whatever flaws were lacking in the London/Solti recording, they have never considered themselves ever to have been conceived of in this recording by Montreal/Dutoit. Brilliant, it is a transparent wall of sound, purity on perfect display.
Oh dear Lord of Music! On the flip side of the Montreal/Dutoit recording is Music for Strings, Percussion, and Celesta, also by Bartok. This performance was recorded as usual in St. Eustache church in Montreal. What flaws? What, even, is a flaw. It is intense, immediate, present. A shroud is lifted revealing something else entirely.
Later, after Sabbath has begun, I will give up Bartok and cease writing, but continue to think and pray about it all.
Cantate Domino may be some of the music for a timeless moment after Bartok . . .
I think I will end the day with it streamed directly from this post, as I pray for you and for all the others . . .
