As usual I took these photos a long time ago but am only posting them up now hahaha.
Anyway most of the products used are from Yves Saint Laurent Beauté & Etude House as they were sponsored for me to try! I currently do still use some of these products & I'll say which at the bottom.
First up would be the YSL roll-on Wake-up Eyecare which is meant to soothe & brighten tired eyes!
Basically there will be a "cooling" feeling when you apply it. Let it be absorbed then apply your concealer over it! I am still using this YSL concealer for my dark eye circles & other red areas.
Next would be eyeliner! I find eyeliner quite important; concealer + eyeliner is usually sufficient to make me look good enough to go out! This Etude House Drawing Show Dot eyeliner is a special 3-pronged eyeliner to help you create fake eyelashes by drawing vertically!
The lines I drew on my hand are examples of how it'll turn out based on the amount of pressure placed.
I actually use it like a normal eyeliner & just draw a horizontal line by turning it lengthwise!
So that's me with concealer + eyeliner, which is a simple uniform line that's extended slightly beyond the end of my eye. I draw a thin lower lashline with the same eyeliner & connect it to the top's.
Here I tested out the 3-prong function by drawing the vertical bottom eyelashes!
Cute eyeshadow palette from Etude House! I like the colours they have here because I generally am not very adventurous with eyeshadows, I tend to stick to dark & light brown or shades like dark purple/green. I used to use white/silver eyeshadow sometimes but now I can't be bothered.
Anyway the Etude House eyeshadow is very matte, meaning there is no shimmer in it at all whereas most eyeshadows commonly are more towards the metallic side. So it's up to your preference!
I didn't blend the eyeshadows that well but never mind lah, cannot see one hahaha.
P.S. Remember to curl your eyelashes before mascara application!
The Etude House 3-step Volumecara gives you 3 different options for mascara intensity!
I don't know how they designed it inside the tube but basically you twist it to your desired intensity, with Step 1 being the mildest & Step 3 the most vava-voom!
You can actually see a clear difference between Step 1 & Step 3!
Step 3 is much thicker & fuller, so Step 1 may be more suitable for day-to-day use!
Etude House blusher! Actually I'm not very sure what having the 2 shades of pink is for haha.
(This is why I am not a beauty blogger) But I think you sort of mix it together? I just swipe my brush across it & it seems fine. My brush is possibly a foundation brush or whatever, but I like it for my blusher.
I always smile when I apply my blusher (yes I have been observed doing this & have been told how retarded I look) because you should use the apples of your cheek as a gauge! Apply outwards towards your hairline; I apply mine along the bottom edge of my cheeks.
These Burt's Bees ones are a bit pricier ($9 I think?) than normal drugstore brands but I find it more nourishing (normal brands don't seem to do anything for my lips) & they smell good!
I have 2, one for my bedside & one that I carry in my bag.
Anyway if you don't mind the slightly higher price then I would recommend these!
My favourite product from YSL - their lipstains!
It's something like a cross between lipsticks & lipglosses. I dislike the stickiness of lipglosses & lipsticks can be a bit too dry so these lipstains are perfect! They allow for a very consistent colour that doesn't come out cracked or patchy the way lipstick might (especially for girls with dry/chapped lips like mine).
The brush makes it very easy to apply as well! Good for corners & uh.. precision haha.
On a day-to-day basis I don't wear all the makeup items.
I hardly wear eyeshadow because I find it doesn't make much difference to how I look haha.
And mascara is a bit peskier to remove!
Ok the two pictures are practically identical but there you have it!
I have other products to review (some purchased, some sponsored) so I hope to do that soon LOL.
Hope this little walkthrough helped! But I think my makeup skills are pretty basic so this is really for like... makeup noobs hahaha. I don't even know how to do all the shading/contouring stuff & am a complete retard at makeup brushes. So complex wtf!

Yep! I think there may be YSL counters in stores like TANGS but I'm not sure.
What about your brows? Do u draw them?
No I have naturally thick brows.

Academic Researchers Say Tour Yielded 23 Percent Increase In Patients Who Got Best, Cheapest Drugs
Reuters reports that 150 academic researchers touring the U.S. to make recommendations on diuretics and best and cheapest practices for blood pressure medicine have reported a 23 percent increase in patients who get the recommended drugs, "twice the increase in the U.S. over the same period."
"'We thought it would make a bigger difference, but it did make some difference,' said Dr. Barry Davis, of the University of Texas School of Public Health in Houston, who worked on the study, published in the Archives of Internal Medicine. In 2002, Davis was one of the researchers behind a large study comparing different blood pressure medicines. He found that the older, cheaper drugs -- so-called thiazide-type diuretics - did better than newer medications, and at a fraction of the price. But although the results soon made it into national guidelines, Davis was disappointed to see that this didn't seem to have a dramatic effect on doctors' prescriptions." With $4 million in National Institutes of Health funding, Davis and colleagues toured to tout the use of the cheaper medication. Others say so-called "academic detailing" is a way to fight commercial interests in the lucrative world of pharmaceuticals (Joelving, 5/24).

The South African National Zakah Fund (SANZAF) fed 960 children at Morgenson Primary School.
The South African National Zakah Fund (SANZAF) has fed 960 children at Morgenson Primary School as part of its annual Operation Winter Warmth Campaign, which has been running for more than 40 years.
The campaign,oneofthe organisation's five national projects, gives to those in need, including 3 000 school children and 1 000 elderly people in poor communities.
On Wednesday September 5, the school received winter packs each containing a beanie, a jacket, gloves and a scarf, party packets, and a cooked meal.
Principal Envor Petersen said the school had asked for donations as many of the children came to school without breakfast.
He said the community had responded well and taken the school's plight to heart.
"More than 80% of our children are in need of food. The majority of our school don't have a solid meal to eat on a daily basis.
"There are a lot of unemployed parents, and this donation has really helped, especially with the cold weather," he said, adding that many of the pupils came from informal settlements and often walked to school.
Mr Petersen said he noticed the difference in pupils once they had been fed.
"Everythingjustgoessmoothly from there. Being hungry really affects their learning. Sometimes the food we give is the only meal they have for the day. We have about 200 to 300 children coming from informal settlements and others from Hanover Park," he said.
OnesuchstafferisGrade4 teacherAmaalKarriem,who,with family and friends, donated soup to the school last Thursday.
"This is the second time that we have done this, and we have fed more pupils than the first time, in August this year. I always tell my family and friends about how our pupils struggle, and they have opened their hearts. My mom cooked the soup, and my family and friends help to dish up," she said.

Doc Brown holds a Ghostbusters proton gun after shooting the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man at Universal Studios Florida in 1990.
Ghostbusters is an American supernatural comedy film that was released on June 7, 1984.
Note: The following section is considered non-canon or is disputed in canonicity.
After Emmett Brown dropped Marty McFly off home on October 26, 1985, he traveled to August 8, 2015. He saw many people with 1980s memorabilia at the Hill Valley 1980s Car Expo, such as people wearing costumes based on the characters from the film. One man wore a Ghostbusters uniform and a woman was dressed as the demonically possessed Dana Barrett.
Later, Doc traveled to Universal Studios Florida on May 1, 1990. He was able to have an experience beyond that of usual theme park visitors, as he was able to actively participate in the rides, including becoming a Ghostbuster during the Ghostbusters Spooktacular attraction. He used a prop proton gun to shoot the image of the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man, and was covered with the marshmallow-like substance that appeared in the film.

Tour de France: Valverde tops fan mail leaderboard

For the second year running, Alejandro Valverde (Movistar Team) is currently topping the leaderboard as the rider to receive most fan mail through the Tour de France internal postal service, Docapost.
Valverde vows to help Nairo Quintana win the Tour de France
Valverde committed to Quintana's Tour de France ambitions despite bid for Cherboug victory

Tour de France: Quintana and Valverde comfortable ahead of first big mountain stage
Valverde to lead Spain in Rio Olympics
The Movistar rider also received the most correspondence through Docapost in 2012 and 2015. This year, as of the Tour's second rest day on Tuesday, the Spanish veteran had received 59 letters or messages of support via Docapost. Valverde took third in the 'fan mail ranking' in 2013 and second in 2014, behind former teammate Rui Costa (Lampre-Merida)
The total for the Spaniard is nonetheless considerably down on 2015, when Valverde received upward of 135 letters in total fan mail.
Whilst Thomas Voeckler (Direct Energie) is second in the ranking with 35 letters, Romain Bardet (AG2R La Mondiale) has 26, Docapost's chef de mission at the Tour, Benjamin Alcorta tells Cyclingnews. Valverde, then, looks all but certain to ride into Paris as the leader of the fan mail race, if not the Tour.
One reason why Valverde is so popular amongst correspondents, Alcorta believes, "is because he answers all the fan mail individually, just like [former French star and Eurosport commentator] Richard Virenque used to do in the 1990s. He's got a huge following."
Alcorta also points out that for the first time this year that Docapost started delivering fan mail - back in the 1990s - every single rider in the Tour de France has received at least one piece of correspondence. This is because the 2017 Tour start city of Dusseldorf has already sent an individualised letter to every 2016 Tour starter, asking them to 'save the date' for next year's Grand Depart.
Information on how to send riders standard postcards or e-cards is available on www.docapost.com.


Consistency represents a model of an ancient human tendency to constantly overcome oneself. Overcoming of body, mind and soul. We build temples and we are looking for answers to complicatedly designed questions, which are employing our mind despite more burdensome real problems. We strengthen our bodies and confront them with others even though we do not need to be stronger for our everyday tasks. We share information about distant lands, which may never even touch our own lives. This and much more may seem to be completely irrational. Nevertheless, it is the very foundation of human existence.
Catenary is a curve formed by homogenous, perfectly firm and flexible fibre sus-pended on both sides of the gravitational field. The possibility of its use is first de-fined by mathematicians and philosophers in the 17th century. Probably the best known use of this principle in architecture is in the construction of Antonio Gaudí's cathedral Sagrada Familia. Slacking strings give rise to an inverse model of the sup-porting arches of the building. By the naturalness of gravity, it forms smooth shapes, which would otherwise be impossible to reach by human hand.
The value of marble is bound by age-old tradition of usage in architecture or in the art of sculpture. Its base, limestone, is at the same time one of the six major building ma- terials of the human body. The body, which mines this stone despite earth's gravity and its natural compactness.
We perceive the mass around us on the basis of the pre-conventionalized system of notions. The genesis of such systems is anchored outside the time perceptible by humans. There is no space to question it.
The ongoing situation therefore seems to be transparent. An athlete lifts a dumb- bell and he rubs his hands with crushed limestone from a marble slab to prevent the sur-face of dumbbell's handle from slipping out of his hands. Lifting is stop- ping in time, immediate defying of gravity and at the same time, its confirmation. Human body draws a specific movement's curve. Blending of everything present on the level of identical structural elements is through the physical exertion sud- denly naturally transparent.
Radio waves, as the oldest method of wireless information spreading, pass through the space despite the gravitational field. They carry information and at the same time serve as a system of maintaining the faith in the authenticity of the message.
Things become real when we define and share them.
Commentator in a radio cabin transforms conventionalized perception of material reality and correlatively ongoing storylines. He manipulates the age-long tradition and creates its new image. An image which, however, does not deny the original one. On the contrary, he creates a brand new image, unmarked by previous experi-ence, an image of unexperienced eye and mind. New bonds are formed, a connect-ing line between material and its shape and the geometry of human's movement.

Fort Pierre National Grassland
National Grasslands
Fort Pierre National Grassland is a 115,890-acre property in central South Dakota, between Pierre and Interstate 90. US Highway 823 between Pierre and Exit 212 on Interstate 90 bisects Fort Pierre National Grassland with about 1/3 of the grassland west of the highway and the rest to the east. There are several County and Forest Service roads that branch off US 83 to give access deeper into the grassland.
If you've ever seen the movie Dances with Wolves, you've seen some of this countryside. It's primarily wide open rolling short-grass prairie but there are several good fishing ponds and more than a few extensive prairie dog towns. Vehicular travel off the paved roads is allowed only on designated roads. And the designated roads are open from December 1 through August 31.
Most of the grassland is tied up in grazing leases. During the summer months, you'll see cattle and bison grazing in different areas of the property. Horseback riding is encouraged but riding through any livestock herds is not. And leave any gates you come to the same way you found them. If you're bringing horses, you need to also bring your own "certified weed-free" forage.
There are no developed campgrounds so all camping will be dispersed and primitive. Hikers can pitch a tent virtually anywhere but those who want to stay close to their vehicles are allowed to park up to 30 feet off any designated road on the property. Because of the dangers presented by prairie fires, no open campfires, charcoal grills or smoking outside a vehicle is allowed. Vehicles must also have some form of spark-arresting device installed. Everywhere you go, it's pack it in, pack it out.
The grassland is managed out of a shared office in Chadron, Nebraska with Buffalo Gap and Oglala National Grasslands and Samuel R. McKelvie and Nebraska National Forest as part of the Nebraska National Forests and Grasslands. There is a local district ranger office in Pierre.

Buildings and Food – Quick Beat Save LP
March 14, 2019 Mike D Music 0
Hailing from Toronto, Buildings and Food, the musical persona of Jen K. Wilson, published the debut Quick Beat Save LP via Number F Records last November. Trained in classical piano and visual arts, Jen spent many years playing guitar and drums in various indie bands before embarking on a career as a visual artist. She has recently returned to music, getting her hands dirty with her DAW and finally playing keyboards. She's a talented musician who is mostly engaged in indie pop electronica and she blends her music with some pretty interesting elements that make her songs a little more adventurous. Her musical studies also are helping her to create actual electronic songs, not just tracks, with her influences ranging from Brian Eno and Kraftwerk to Stereolab and Ladytron. I listened to sophisticated electronic indie pop music in the whole album, sometimes surprising me with her ideas that are all placed not to impress but to help the whole narrative of each song. It is a quality album in all and that concerns also the excellent sound and the balanced mix. The leading track Slow To Reverse is the appropriate song to start getting to know her music, let's listen!
Rewind The Dog is another very cool tune, more groovy and colorful, an uptempo glitch-oriented adventure!
1979 Pennies and Pluto on the other hand is the real indie pop electronic music song, joyful, very bright, and Daft Punkish!
When I got this album in my hands and listened to it a couple of times, I realized that it is a spontaneously created record suitable for radio too. It contains the kind of music that can easily spin through the whole 24/7 program of a station. It has the songs which can bridge two others when the same song can be appropriate to introduce the album on air. In my ears, after all, Quick Beat Save LP is an artistically successful record which is obviously created with cheer and great-great care.
"This release marks a return to music-making for me, after a long tenure as a visual artist. While working on these recordings, I was greatly inspired by the early demos of Glenn Tilbrook and early Squeeze recordings, A.C. Newman, Jimmy Tamborello/Dntel, Daft Punk, and The Rural Alberta Advantage," says Jen K Wilson, adding "I enjoyed mixing in analog sounds to the primarily digital tracks I created for these recordings, building loops and using found sounds, then adding guitars, percussion and sometimes vocals."

About Mike D 174 Articles
Hey people I'm Mike D from Athens GR (43). I'm a sound engineer, radio producer, and certainly a music "freak." I couldn't be anything else, you see: I grew up in a musical home (my father was a composer), and wanted to be a rock-star but wasn't patient enough to study music. Instead, I studied the technical stuff and went really "nuts" when I started writing articles about the bands and artists I love. It all started back in 2002 in a printed magazine (Sound Maker - RIP) and I still do it because I really like sharing my libraries, discotheque, info, connections, knowledge, and all. I'm involved in all "waves" music (new wave/darkwave/post-punk/shoegaze), punk, industrial, EBM, alternative rock, indie, electronic, avant-garde/ experimental/ freestyle...but on the other hand I can easily throw a classical CD in the player, or a jazzy tune, or...ok you get it: Music! I'd like to read your comments on my writing because you know how it goes, and you all know the glorious song by Placebo,"Without You I'm Nothing"...Thanx and enjoy Freedom and Music, Loud!

The Seattle area has its reputation for being dreary and gray all the time (hence the blog name!) but in my year and a half of living here, I've had to tell all of my friends and family back on the east coast that it's not actually true, and that summers here are really quite wonderful and it rarely rains! Sure, our winters are dark and gloomy, but summers are nearly flawless. We gotta take advantage of the beautiful sunshine while we can, so we've been trying to grill and eat outside as much as possible lately.
We made these delicious chile lime tacos with a grilled pineapple salsa, and just about everything in them was cooked on the grill. I've never grilled fruit before, and I must say – it's incredible! Adding some char to juicy pineapple is an awesome flavor combo. Paired with a not-so-spicy chicken marinade and this meal screams summer. These tacos are light and delicious – a definite new favorite in our house.
Cut chicken into smaller pieces of even thickness, and place in large sealable bag. Add all marinade and spice ingredients, then seal bag and mix well, coating each piece evenly. Marinate at room temperature for 30-60 minutes.
While chicken marinates, soak 2-4 wooden skewers in water. Chop red pepper and onion into smaller pieces (not mincing, but small enough to skewer) and thread onto wooden skewers. Brush peppers and onion (and shucked corn, if using a fresh ear) lightly with olive oil.
Heat up your grill! Put everything on at once – chicken, pineapple rings, onion and pepper skewers, and the whole jalapeño (plus corn if using fresh). Turn occasionally and grill until chicken is nearly cooked through. Remove veggies and pineapple from grill.
While the chicken is finishing, chop the veggies and pineapple. De-seed the jalapeño and finely chop. Add all veggies and pineapple to a medium bowl, and add lime juice, cilantro, salt, pepper, and cumin. Mix well. Begin heating up tortillas or taco shells.
Remove chicken from grill, let stand for a few minutes under foil, then slice. Assemble tacos and garnish with additional cilantro and cotija cheese.

"The Girl in Question" is episode 20 of season 5 in the television show Angel. Written by Steven S. DeKnight and Drew Goddard and directed by David Greenwalt, it was originally broadcast on May 5, 2004 on the WB network. When Angel and Spike go to Italy after hearing Buffy is in trouble, they discover she is dating their long-time nemesis The Immortal. While searching for Buffy - and the head of a demon which must be brought back to L.A. to prevent a demon war - they reminisce about their history with The Immortal and finally accept that they can't control whom Buffy dates.

Plot
Gunn discovers a demon gang war is imminent unless the dead leader's head is recovered from Rome, so Angel and Spike travel to Rome to retrieve the head. They find out that Buffy is dating their nemesis "The Immortal". Flashbacks are shown that explain why Angel and Spike hate "The Immortal": he slept with Darla and Drusilla simultaneously while his minions held Angelus and Spike in chains. They discuss the matter and conclude that Buffy must be under some sort of love spell. Spike and Angel visit Buffy's apartment and find Andrew Wells, who is living with Buffy and Dawn. He says that Buffy went to a club with The Immortal. They go to the club and see Buffy from a distance. They get distracted and leave the demon head in a bag on a table, which is snatched by The Immortal's demon butler. Angel and Spike fight the minions and "accidentally" hit each other a few times, too. The demon butler gets away with the head and leaves.

After arguing over how they would be able to find the head "if they had their resources", Angel and Spike go the Rome Wolfram & Hart offices, where they are greeted by the CEO, an ebullient Italian woman. She says the head is being held in a standard ransom situation. Angel and Spike are given money for the drop, which they exchange with the butler for the bag. They open it and in it is actually a bomb, three seconds from detonation. The two both barely survive the ensuing explosion, albeit with their clothing heavily damaged and the street destroyed. The Rome Wolfram & Hart CEO explains that they always use the bomb on first-timers as a prank, and replaces their damaged clothing, including Spike's "irreplaceable" jacket. After being locked out of her office, Spike and Angel return to Buffy's apartment where Andrew tells them to let Buffy move on, saying that although she loves them both, they need to give her some space and move on themselves or they could never again have any chance to reunite with her. Frustrated by their inability to contact Buffy and by the demon butler's chicanery on The Immortal's behalf, they go home, where they find the head on Angel's desk with a note signed by The Immortal. Though outraged that he "distracted" them again while he put the moves on "their" girl, Angel and Spike realize that they do need to move on.

Meanwhile, at Wolfram & Hart in L.A., Fred's parents show up at Wesley's office where he tries to tell them she has been consumed, only to be interrupted by Illyria who looks and acts exactly like Fred. Later, while her parents are being shown Fred's office, Wesley confronts Illyria. She explains because of Fred's past memories she cannot bear to witness their grief in addition to Wesley's, which she experiences as a physical pain. She explains that she can appear in the form that she wishes. After Fred's parents leave, Illyria continues to appear and speak as Fred, which angers Wesley. She states that she wishes to explore the relationship further and does not understand why Wesley is angry when he obviously loved Fred. He replies that she is not Fred and that he is sickened by the sight of her, and orders her to never assume Fred's form again. As she changes back into her usual form, she appears somewhat confused and upset when he leaves the room.

Production details
This episode was the first time James Marsters met director David Greenwalt, despite working on the second season of Buffy together. "I was just a guest star, and I had no reason to go up to the writers' offices. I didn't go to the gods at that point," says Marsters. He says that Greenwalt is "exceptional" at inspiring actors to perform their best.

Actress Julie Benz says her last appearance as Darla in the flashback scenes of this episode was "a great way for us to... say goodbye to our characters, to be together and to have some fun." She was relieved to shoot such a "playful" scene, "because anything else I think would have been too hard; too difficult; too painful." She adds the sheet she was wrapped in kept snagging on the camera dolly and falling down. "It was a great way to end; flashing everybody!" she says.

Dawn Summers was intended to appear in this episode, but as Michelle Trachtenberg was unavailable for filming, the role of Dawn was rewritten for Andrew Wells.

Writing
It is a commonly held but mistaken belief that the producers sought Sarah Michelle Gellar for this episode. Another actress played Buffy Summers in a faraway shot of her dancing with The Immortal in a nightclub. In fact, the intention of this episode was always that neither Buffy nor the Immortal would be clearly seen. Gellar was actually sought for the penultimate episode "Power Play", but proved unavailable because she was busy finishing the filming of The Grudge. Writer David Fury explains this in an interview with Mike Jozic:

David Greenwalt refers to this episode as "Rosencrantz and Guildenstern go to Rome."

Continuity
The canonical eighth season comic retcons the identity of the Immortal's blonde consort; Buffy (as narrator) says: "The guys figured I was a target. Set up two other Slayers to be me. ... One's in Rome, partying very publicly – and supposedly dating some guy called 'The Immortal.' That part was Andrew's idea. He did research on the guy, said it would be hilarious for some reason" — apparently the reason being a prank aimed at Spike and Angel.
This episode makes reference to Buffy's speech to Angel in "Chosen". Of course, this is not explicitly explained, leaving Spike immensely confused by Angel's seemingly random statement.
Angel: But she's not finished baking yet. I gotta wait till she's done baking, you know, till she finds herself, 'cause that's the drill. Fine. I'm waitin' patiently, and meanwhile, The Immortal's eatin' cookie dough!
Although Angel and Spike have a particularly acrimonious relationship where Buffy is concerned, this adventure (and Buffy having moved on from them both) provides them with somewhat of a bonding experience - they drink together, engage in their most civil dialogue to date, and reminisce about the past. It is also relevant that Andrew, when sending the vampires, mentions that Buffy does love both of them. In the last episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Buffy had told Spike that she loved him, and he had told her "No you don't, but thanks for saying it."
Spike complains about the duster he'd 'ripped off a dead slayer' (Nikki Wood, Slayer from the 1970s and mother of Robin Wood, who appears in the final season of Buffy). Clips of the encounter range through the seasons, most notably 'Lies My Parents Told Me' (Season 7)
This is perhaps the only episode when Angelus is portrayed as anything but a manipulative sociopath, joining Spike as being the target of many comical misfortunes, ranging from their mutual disbelief that Darla and Drusilla had been seduced "concurrently" by the Immortal to suffering the indignity of being denied entrance to one of the Immortal's parties while seeking a 'Blood Vengeance.'
 Along with "Becoming, Part One", "Fool for Love" and "Darla", this is one of only four Buffyverse episodes in which all four members of the Whirlwind (Angel, Spike, Darla and Drusilla) appear.
During their argument over which of them has helped save the world more times, Angel and Spike refer to the events of "Prophecy Girl" and "The Zeppo" (in which Angel helped to close the Hellmouth), "Doomed" and "Chosen" (in which Spike did so), "Graduation Day, Part Two" (in which Angel helped to defeat the Mayor), "Peace Out" (in which Angel Investigations defeated Jasmine) and "Becoming, Part Two" (in which Spike conspired with Buffy Summers so that she could kill Angelus before he could awaken the demon Acathla).

Cultural references
The brief scene in black-and-white of Spike and Drusilla in an Italian jazz club resembles the style of Italian modernist films from the early 1960s by the likes of Fellini and Antonioni.
Andrew is seen wearing a Strong Bad t-shirt from the popular internet website Homestar Runner.
Upon finding out that Buffy is dating The Immortal, Spike declares "It's Worse!", in classic Star Wars style.

Full text: Isha Foundation rubbishes ESG's claims on Cauvery Calling project, terms letter to Leonardo DiCaprio 'factually incorrect'
India FP Staff Sep 26, 2019 22:22:04 IST
The Coalition for Environmental Justice in India, 95 civil society groups and 18 individuals wrote a letter to Hollywood actor Leonardo DiCaprio days after he expressed support for the Cauvery Calling campaign
The Isha Foundation rubbished the letter compiled by the Environment Support Group, terming it 'factually incorrect' and an attempt 'to gain publicity'
DiCaprio had written a Facebook post on 21 September expresssing his support to the Cauvery Calling campaign
The Isha Foundation has rubbished a letter written by Coalition for Environmental Justice in India, individuals and civil society groups urging Hollywood actor Leonardo DiCaprio to withdraw his support to the Cauvery Calling project, which was initiated by Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev-led foundation to revive the Cauvery river basin. Terming the letter, compiled by Leo Saldanha of the Environment Support Group (ESG), as an attempt "to gain publicity", the NGO said that the letter's main argument that "the Cauvery Calling movement is proposing simplistic solutions, such as planting monocultures of trees on riverbanks" is "factually incorrect" and a "baseless opinion that contains blatant untruths".
Here's the unedited full text of Isha Foundation's response to the ESG's letter to DiCaprio:
This letter from Environment Support Group Trust on behalf of the Coalition of Environmental Justice Initiatives in India has not understood the fundamentals of what the vision of Cauvery Calling is.
Before we do that, here is a brief summary of what we are trying to do in Cauvery Calling. Cauvery Calling is an economic solution for ecological problems to be implemented by farmers in their private agricultural lands through promotion of agroforestry with local species.
According to Food and Agriculture Organization: Agroforestry is a collective name for land-use systems and technologies where woody perennials (trees, shrubs, palms, bamboos, etc.) are deliberately used on the same land-management units as agricultural crops and/or animals, in some form of spatial arrangement or temporal sequence. In agroforestry systems there are both ecological and economic interactions between the different components. Agroforestry can also be defined as a dynamic, ecologically based, natural resource management system that, through the integration of trees on farms and in the agricultural landscape, diversifies and sustains production for increased social, economic and environmental benefits for land users at all levels. In particular, agroforestry is crucial to smallholder farmers and other rural people because it can enhance their food supply, income and health. Agroforestry systems are multifunctional systems that can provide a wide range of economic, sociocultural, and environmental benefits.
In the entire proposition of Cauvery Calling there has been clear articulation of where agroforestry is to be promoted- on agricultural land. There is not a single mention in the entire Cauvery Calling rally or in the documents submitted to government and our publications that we suggest the same on either Government-owned land on river banks or forest land or grasslands. This is a false allegation.
The reason agroforestry is promoted on private land is to ensure the stakeholder most dependent on the river, the farmer, also benefits in the process of revitalizing it. Our agroforestry models proposed for Cauvery are in line with the definition of agroforestry by FAO. And this is in no way promotion of monoculture tree plantation.
It just not involves trees but also shrubs, bushes and other forms of vegetation.
We would like to respond to your open letter to Mr. Leonardo DiCaprio discouraging support for Cauvery Calling. This letter is to correct the blatant untruths in your needlessly hostile campaign. Please see below our response to the points raised in your letter.
Your letter says:
"However, the 'Cauvery Calling' campaign is not a programme that comprehends the river basin's realities, and her future well being. It appears to be a programme that presents, rather simplistically, that the river can be saved by planting trees on banks of her streams, rivulets, tributaries and the floodplains of the river."
Response: We're not really sure on what basis you have concluded that we don't comprehend the "river basin's realities". Contrary to what your letter suggests, this is a multi-stakeholder project that has garnered support from Tamil Nadu and Karnataka governments, the Prime Minister of India, UNCCD, UNDP, and above all, widespread support from the farming communities. The Ministry of Environment, Forests and Climate Change, Govt of India, Jal Shakti Ministry, Govt. of India, an eminent Rally for Rivers board that comprises Mr. Ravi Singh, CEO and Secretary General, World Wide Fund for Nature; Justice Arijit Pasayat, Retd Judge, Supreme Court of India; Ms. Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw, Chairman and Managing Directo, Biocon Ltd; Mr. Shashi Shekhar, former Secretary, Water Resources, Government of India; Dr AS Kiran Kumar, former Chairperson, Indian Space Research Organisation; Mr. Pravesh Sharma, former Secretary and MD of Small Farmers' Agri-Business Consortium, Government of India; Mr. B Muthuraman, former chairperson, Tata Steel and Chandrajit Banerjee, Director General, Confederation of Indian Industries; several agricultural, forest experts and expert institutions and farmers in both states. Sadhguru and Isha Foundation were invited by United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD) for the COP14 Summit to speak about the Cauvery Calling movement where they expressed their intent to replicate this globally, seeing the success of the movement in India; the UNEP and the Global Environment Facility have also extended their support. International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) has also extended its support to Cauvery Calling. We have been consistently engaging with NITI Aayog, the country's apex economic policy think tank in feeding into policies that are relevant to river revitalization and farmer wellbeing.
These are highly reputed global bodies that would not endorse any movement lightly. A cursory look at our website cauverycalling.org shows that the main focus of Cauvery calling is agroforestry, i.e. tree-based agriculture on private agricultural land. Nowhere have we said about planting trees on any public land on the banks of the river. One should at least read the website of the program before starting a malicious campaign against a good cause. We are always happy to entertain any technical discussion you would like to have with our teams.
Planting trees is welcome, but only when it is done where needed, and by choosing appropriate species. It is a process that is best done consultatively, based on local needs, and sensitive to local ecological dynamics. Besides, such a programme must be undertaken with appropriate social action – ground up, involving constitutionally empowered Panchayats, and statutory Forest Rights Committees, Biodiversity Management Committees, Ward Committees, etc. Needless to add, tree planting is only one of the many many activities that are needed to rejuvenate the river; and tree planting alone won't achieve the critical task of saving Cauvery. It is also important to note that even when tree planting is taken up in the most appropriate way, as described above, there is a critical need to stop mindless destruction of forests and watersheds of the Cauvery, which is taking place extensively across the rivers' watersheds, all in the name of 'development'.
Response: We have listed the appropriate species to be planted in each segment of the entire basin stretch – we have compiled this list with advice from Karnataka Forest Department, Institute of Agricultural Technologists, Institute of Agroforestry Farmers & Technologists, Forest College and Research Institute, Tamil Nadu Agriculture University, academics, and Ministry of Environment, Govt of India, individual experts who have decades of experience in agroforestry and trees in the Cauvery basin before the Cauvery Calling plan was developed. Along with this, Project Green Hands of Isha Foundation has experience of agroforestry in Tamil Nadu for over 18 years. There are successful cases of agroforestry practiced by farmers in many districts of Tamil Nadu, including Cauvery basin districts.
It is wrong to surmise, as you have done, that Cauvery Calling is undertaken without any social action. The social outreach program that preceded the campaign involved volunteers visiting over 7000 villages and interacting with 2.7 lakh people in the Cauvery basin. Panchayat leaders have shown keen interest as Cauvery Calling addresses the crisis of water and agrarian distress that affects lakhs of farmers. Farmers and farmer association leaders expressed their support for the campaign. A defamatory campaign against Cauvery Calling, in fact, goes against the interest of livelihoods of farmers reviving India's soil, water and food security of the nation. Since agroforestry takes the pressure off forests for timber, a successful program to grow trees outside forests actually helps to protect existing natural forests and their biodiversity. It does away with the need for production forestry and strengthens conservation forestry. It would be very unfortunate to have a totally wrong-headed `environment versus economy' debate around Cauvery Calling, which is an economic program for farmers with a significant ecological impact.
As the program goes into the implementation phase, rest assured that we will work with Panchayat institutions. Karnataka and Tamil Nadu have a strong Panchayati Raj system. Both the State Governments have expressed their support for Cauvery Calling, and their support will be expressed through Panchayati Raj Institutions that have the functions, and functionaries devolved to them. Where Biodiversity Management Committees are active, we will seek their support since agroforestry improves local biodiversity. In forest-fringe villages where farmers are cultivating land they have received rights over under the Forest Rights Act, Forest Rights Committees will be our main institutions to work with.
Mr. DiCaprio has not been wrongly advised about Cauvery Calling as you insinuate. We invite you to sit with us and learn about the work that has gone into this movement. We have proven this model on the ground over 18 years with 69,760 farmers in Tamil Nadu. Most of these farmers now have fully mature trees that have become high value assets which can be harnessed. Many of these farmers have also harvested these trees and have re-planted them seeing the increase in their income anywhere from 300% to 800% percent . We have never claimed that tree planting is the only way to save the river. We have chosen this activity, because trees are the most cost effective nature based solution to the crisis of most Indian rivers including the one Cauvery is in right now. We have never campaigned that other rejuvenation activities mentioned are not needed. We have elaborately explained this in the Rally for Rivers Draft Policy Recommendation available to download on the rallyforrivers.org website. Anyone is free to choose in whatever way they want to contribute. We have chosen to work with farmers and plant trees, because that is our experience.
The tree planting promoted by Isha Foundation, by inviting people to donate money to plant 2,420,000,000 trees, may appear incredibly attractive. But on deeper investigation it comes across as a method that promotes a monoculturist paradigm of landscape restoration which people of India have rejected long ago. Besides, such a programme could create unintended and unforeseen social and ecological consequences, as planting trees in certain regions (grasslands and floodplains for instance) could result in drying up of streams and rivulets, and destruction of wildlife habitats. Further, it can also lead to encroachments of the floodplains and riverbeds, as has happened at numerous places.
Response: This clearly shows you have not bothered to educate yourself on what our project is about. The agroforestry we are promoting is polyculture, not monoculture, multiple indigenous species of timber and horticulture species will be grown on a part of each farmer's agricultural land which once had only annual crops. The growing of trees will thus increase both floral and faunal biodiversity. Cauvery Calling is not going to touch government or public land, including riparian lands, grasslands, and forest land. We are only asking farmers to partially convert their farmlands to agroforestry. These farmlands are in the river basin; two thirds of the land in the river basin is in farmers' hands so there's no way to increase green cover unless the farmers plant trees. We are well aware of the ecological consequences of planting trees where it should not be done. Please enlighten us on what "deeper investigation" you have done to come to your baseless conclusion about promoting a "monoculturist paradigm". In the Detailed Project Report submitted to the government the agroforestry models suggest intercropping along with agroforestry.
Isha Foundation has very low credibility in conforming with Indian laws protecting human rights and the environment. No less an authority than the Comptroller and Auditor General of India, a constitutional body, has reported that the foundation has built its headquarters into an elephant corridor and on land belonging to Adivasis (original inhabitants of India, who are indigenous communities). It is also noted that Mr. Jaggi Vasudev and Isha Foundation have often resorted to populist and simplistic methods on various public concerns, and thus aiding denigration of systematic and serious efforts necessary to address complex environmental and social justice causes.
Response: These are blatant untruths and clearly propagated with malicious intent. Ministry of Environment, Forests and Climate Change, the Tamil Nadu State Forest Department have put this to rest long back having categorically stated that no elephant corridor ever existed on this land. Wildlife Trust of India report also clarifies the same. Nor has Isha grabbed land of Adivasis. This is a claim based on repetition of baseless allegations circulated in a journalistic piece that did not offer any evidence and which we have rebutted in the past. It's incredible that an organization can make such brazen allegations without a shred of evidence and without bothering to learn the truth.
There has not been a single movement of this scale in the country that has been so successful in articulating complex environmental problems in very clear terms for the masses. If this makes us populist, so be it. This has been the success of the movement. The fact that the whole country has woken up to the crisis of our rivers , should be supported by groups who claim to work for the betterment of environment, rather than taking such ill-informed potshots. But because it has been a successful campaign that has been very effective in its communication, that does not make the solution any less technically rigorous.
As a matter of fact, a Public Interest Litigation has already been filed in the Karnataka High Court against fund collection for 'Cauvery Calling'. The link you have shared on your Facebook page of the Isha website reveals that the volume of money being gathered is over Rs 10,000 crores (US$1.5 billion). The implications of such massive funds being made available to a private foundation, particularly one that as a very weak, and rather dubious, record of compliance of human rights and environmental laws, is quite worrying.
Response: Yes, a frivolous PIL has been filed which is full of untruths, just like your letter. For instance, the Public Interest Litigation alleges, as you do, that Isha is collecting money to plant trees on public land without consulting the Government of Karnataka. On what basis are you stating that we have a "weak" and "dubious record of compliance of human rights and environmental laws"? We have already shown that allegations about building on an elephant corridor and grabbing Adivasi lands are baseless allegations without a shred of evidence.
'Waterman of India' Rajendra Singh has remarked that Jaggi Vasudev's 'Cauvery Calling' is a campaign "just to earn name and money".
Response: Everybody is entitled to their opinion, just as you are. You have challenged the opinion of Mr. DiCaprio because it does not match yours. You have overlooked the opinion of various experts who have publicly endorsed Cauvery Calling, as well as the eminent Board of Rally for Rivers which includes scientists, administrators, ecologists, jurists and people who have held public office. None of them felt that Cauvery Calling is meant to earn name and money. Democracy is not just about expressing one's opinion. It is also about examining facts dispassionately and allowing oneself to be persuaded to modify one's opinion. We are willing to look at any facts you would like to present, in place of the vague and unsubstantiated opinions in your open letter to Mr DiCaprio. We invite you to visit our work with farmers in Tamil Nadu, visit the Isha Yoga Centre, and present any evidence you have of violation of environmental laws and human rights.
In conclusion, we would like to state that anyone who genuinely cares for the environment, the river and the farmers of this country will make an effort to understand the Cauvery Calling campaign before running a malicious counter campaign with no observable intent. We invite you to engage with us in an unbiased dialogue so we can present to you what the Cauvery Calling movement is really about.

The effect of the Tsunami on the city of Kesennuma, a city of 74,000 people.
In Kesennuma, fire had replaced the waves as the principal source of danger on Saturday night.
Blazes that began amid the chaos wrought by the tsunami were spreading out of control. Night-time aerial footage showed huge tracts of the city, home to 74,000 people, engulfed in flames.
Witnesses said the fires began after the tsunami hit an oil tanker at the port. The flames then spread inland along the river towards the city centre.
Local news agencies reported that a third of the city had been completely submerged in mud and fires continued to rage in the rubble and debris.
This is very sad, at least the earthquake is a natural disaster, caused by the globel warming, so it is not so "natural" but the radiation caused by the reactors, can kill people in 2 days as long, is this gonna be the next chernobyl ? another phantom town ?
No, the reactors gave people plenty of time to run away. And last I heard, the amount of radiation released is still quite small.
So far, the chemicals released by floodwater sweeping through a city are likely to be more damaging than the radiation. Some chemicals are mutagens and stay in the environment a very long time.
And that's not even counting the burning oil refineries, which are likely to do a lot more environmental damage than the reactors.
Yes, nuclear power is dangerous, but fossil fuel burning kills a million people a year. These reactors aren't packed with graphite - they won't burn like Chernobyl did.
And even Chernobyl killed and injured a lot fewer people than the Bhopal gas leak.
Am I in favor of nuclear power? Only in so far as it displaces coal power... which is to say... yes.

Cat Davis is a 21-year-old student at the University of Virginia majoring in Cognitive Science with a concentration in Neuroscience. She was diagnosed with Bipolar 1 disorder in 2017 and has since become an advocate for mental health awareness and education.
Before Cat was diagnosed with bipolar disorder, she was misdiagnosed with depression. She was institutionalized twice before being correctly diagnosed and given the proper medication and treatment. Cat now aspires to continue the mental health conversation, educate the public about the signs and symptoms of bipolar disorder, and advocate for the research of mental illnesses, which she believes will inevitably lead to more correct diagnoses.
Cat became an Ambassador and writer for Worth Living in May 2017. As well as on Worth Living's website, Cat has published articles about bipolar disorder on www.iam1in4.com, www.selfgrowth.com, mental-health.alltop.com, and her blog www.highrisk1.wordpress.com. She also has used platforms such as TEDx and The Human Library Organization to share her experiences through public speaking.


Reseda, Calif.— Audrey Coletta had just recently assumed ownership of her father's shop 13 years ago when a man walked in for an estimate. She gave him a shop tour, explained the repair process, and let him know they were highly experienced and trained.
"About halfway through the tour, the guy looks at me, surprised, and says, 'As a woman, you really do know what you're talking about. I'm impressed.' I wasn't sure how to take it.
Even though she grew up in the shop helping her father, R. Lee Brown, at Precision Auto Body, in Hollywood since 1960, earning the respect of her customers and employees was challenging when she took over the reins.
"Not only has being a woman in a male-dominated field been a challenge, so has being a second-generation owner," Coletta said. "It takes a constant effort to prove you know what you're talking about.
Even though she has never repaired a car herself, Coletta knows and understands the repair process as well as the business side. Her first job was working in the shop's office when she started high school: first as a receptionist, then as bookkeeper and then in billing. After college, she returned and handled all of the finances.
Those initial feelings of doubt soon faded, too, over time, and she has led Precision to make investments, expand and adhere to training regiments for its multiple OEM certifications.
"We have done OEM-certified repair work from the beginning and have always focused on OEM repair procedures for high-end vehicles," said Coletta, adding that they are a Mercedes-Benz Elite Aluminum repair facility — which requires their technicians to go to Texas twice a year for training — a Porsche Approved Collision Center, Audi Authorized Repair Facility, and BMW and Mini factory trained.
Five years ago, Precision built an aluminum room with two bays and in-ground lifts for low profile cars and continually trains its body technicians in aluminum repair.
The shop features a Chief EZ Liner, a Global Jig by Chief Super Rotax Bench, four Celette frame machines, several spot welders and special tools required by Mercedes-Benz, Porsche and Audi, a Festool dry sander, introduced by her paint supplier, FinishMaster, and uses parts carts and mirror parts matching for its meticulous teardowns.
"The dry sander really saves time and our techs love it, and the parts carts ensure that nothing gets lost," Coletta added.
The I-CAR Gold shop has 13 bays, 35 employees, I-CAR Gold and Platinum-recognized and ASE Master technicians, sprays PPG Envirobase, has a German Lutro spray booth, a bake booth converted to paint booth for parts, and a downdraft station with a lift.
All of the investments, plus strong dealership ties and referrals, and a large repeat customer base, resulted in a 16-percent increase in 2016 and it's on track to finish 2017 9-percent higher. The average repair order is $5,400 and averages 123 cars a month, both of which are up. What's next?
For 2018, Coletta said her growth strategy includes working more closely with dealerships, continuing to improve efficiency and customer satisfaction, getting more certifications, and leveraging its OEM certifications to increase profitability.
"We are also working hard to raise our labor rates to get ahead of the annual minimum wage increases in L.A., and participate in labor rate surveys continuously.

There is something quite special about the yearly Apple launch event; they have a unique position in the marketplace thanks to the fact they buck the trends and use their own software and hardware. They create a split in the customer base of those who love them and those who hate them, but there is no denying they are one of the most innovative manufacturers in the world. Apple has a simple release schedule channelling all their efforts into two or three high-end handsets rather than releasing more throughout the year, and it certainly seems to work for them as they are consistently one of the top three companies in the world when it comes to mobile phones.

As soon as you pick up the iPhone 11 Pro, you can feel the quality of the build. Apple doesn't deviate much from their design, and why would they? It is attractive and functional and comes with an all-screen experience that users love. They still fall short of the infinity screen preferring to stick with the bezel around the edges, which is slightly wider at the top to allow for the front-facing camera housing but this is smaller than it has ever been. They tend to keep one handset below 6 inches as the smaller handset is still very popular and this is an all-glass and aluminium offering which is what we are used to seeing from them. As usual, they have the latest IP rating and this handset is IP68, meaning the handset it's protected from accidental spills and dust.
The screen is the same style as the iPhone XS and has the same 5.8-inch size. However it is a new super retina XDR display and has a great resolution of 1125 x 2436 pixels, an aspect ratio of 19.5:9, screen to body ratio of 80.4% and a 463 PPI density. This is perfect for playing games and streaming movies and ensures the best visual performance. The screen is scratch-resistant glass with an oleophobic coating, making it great for daily life. We would still recommend a case and screen protector.
When you turn the handset over you will see that there have been significant changes to the rear camera. On the iPhone 11 Pro, you have a triple-lens arrangement which is the first time Apple has done this. They are housing in a square mount which is sited on the left side of the back panel. Within the housing, the lenses are offset to give a quirky and usual look, and there is room for the LED flash as well. In a change from their normal finish, the iPhone 11 Pro has a frosted glass finish which adds to the premium look and feel.
iPhone 11 Pro Audio
Audio is something that Apple has down pat and never gets wrong. They have not been including standard headphone jacks for some time now, but this is because they are pushing their AirPods. If you don't want to go down that route, you can use any Bluetooth headphones, and you will still experience the quality sounds on offer. This is a great handset for streaming films and listening to music, and in a quiet room, you will be impressed by the volume level on offer.
iPhone 11 Pro Camera
So as mentioned, the iPhone 11 Pro has a three-lens arrangement on the back, and all three are 12MP lenses. This is a feature of the series as Apple has only used 12MP lenses; in this handset there is a standard, ultra-wide and telephoto lens combining to create the magic. There are no prizes for guessing that size of the front-facing selfie camera, it is all 12 MP and offers a great performance. The video abilities of both the front and back camera is seriously impressive and features some amazing on board software to make edits as you go.
iPhone 11 Pro Features and Performance
When it comes to the chipset, this was going to have to be a proprietary Apple offering, and indeed the iPhone 11 series features the first use of the A13 Bionic chipset. This is a clever piece of kit that builds on the machine learning and augmented reality we have seen before from them. Of course, this is an iOS handset that comes running 13 but is upgradable as and when new versions are released.
In terms of the battery, the handset comes with a non-removable 3190 mAh which is a good size for a handset at this level. As you might expect, this is a wireless charging handset that offers bilateral wireless. This means you can use the handset as a charger for adding power to other wireless devices. Simply pop the item on the back of the handset, and it will charge.
In terms of storage, there are the usual three choices, 128GB, 256GN and 512GB, which is plenty of storage for most users; there is 6GB of RAM and no expansion facility. There have also been upgraded to the facial ID so that it works better if the phone is at an angle and not being held straight.
If you are looking for a high-end handset that has masses of functionality and the latest Apple magic, then the iPhone 11 Pro could be the perfect choice.

Niagara Recall Exposes Safety Problems With Bottled Water
Wenonah Hauter
Jun. 23, 2015 11:48AM EST Food
This week's recall of 14 brands of bottled water from Niagara Bottling is yet another reminder that bottled water is no safer than water from the tap.
For years, the bottled water industry has touted the so-called purity and superiority of its products, even drumming up fear towards tap water. While problems relating to our nation's aging infrastructure can sometimes compromise the quality of tap water, it's important to remember that the U.S. has some of the safest, cleanest water in the world. That's because tap water is more strictly regulated by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency than bottled water is by the Food & Drug Administration.
Perpetually under-funded and short-staffed, FDA has a poor record of protecting consumer health and safety. FDA sends inspectors to bottling plants once every two to three years. While highly disturbing, this recall is hardly surprising. In 2009, Researchers from Environmental Working Group investigated 10 major brands of bottled water and found roughly eight contaminants per brand.
California's drought and the controversy over Nestle's bottling practices reminded us once again that bottled water companies are not responsible stewards of this essential human resource. Now this recall reminds us that many cannot even guarantee its safety.
People should never be so leery of tap water that they resort to obtaining their water from other questionable sources such as bottled water. The federal government needs to step up its efforts to modernize and maintain community water systems. In 2014, the Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (SRF), which provides federal funding to maintain safe drinking water, received $907 million in federal funding—enough to finance only 5 percent of what is needed.
President Obama's FY 2016 budget won't help much either, unfortunately. The SRFs once again received the raw end of budgetary process, cut by $54 million from last year's estimated budget. Since FY2014, the SRFs have lost $707 million, a 23 percent reduction. The new budget also cuts $4 million in funding to USDA's rural water program, and $17 million to the EPA's Water Quality and Research Support Grants.
That's why Food & Water Watch is calling on the Obama administration to step up its efforts to ensure safe, clean affordable water for all by stepping up funding to community water systems so wasteful, dangerous bottled water can be a thing of the past.

Indoor cycling is an excellent workout and a great way to burn a ton of calories while you relieve stress. Stationary bikes allow individual control of resistance levels. Our Keiser M3i bikes are equipped with heart rate monitors and power meters. These tools provide a sure way to keep motivated and accomplish personal fitness goals.
Did you know that an indoor cycling workout of 45 minutes may allow you to burn around 500 calories? That is a huge amount when compared to other types of workouts. However there are other benefits. You might be surprised to learn the calories don't really matter.
No worries beacause you will build strength on core muscle groups, as well as your buttocks and thighs as you develop serious cycling skills that will translate into riding your bike around the city as well. Best of all, you will receive the psychological rewards of working out, in addition to a potentially longer life. See our blog for lots of explanation on all things fitness related.
One of our favourite things about indoor cycling is that it is a low impact exercise that won't put pressure on knees and joints, as running and some other aerobic exercises do. This workout is often recommended for people that suffer from arthritis. Regular classes will build increased cardiovascular endurance that you will notice. Best of all, music and video contribute to make your workout more exciting.
Remember, classes can be attended at any time during the year in any weather. A note on what to wear: cycling shorts are highly recommended. Light breathable tops that won't stick to you (synthetic performance fabric if possible) are the most comfortable. We provide the shoes, you provide the socks. Throwing a plastic bag in with your stuff is a great way to get your sweaty clothes home after your spin. Yes, you might sweat that much! Even though our studio is air conditioned and kept cool, you still might work hard enough to leave a pool on the floor. Congratulations!

Q: Haskell list comprehension type error: Couldn't match expected type 'Float' with actual type 'Int' I am attempting to create a list of pythagorean triplets, that is, a list of tuples that each contain (x, y, z) such that x^2 + y^2 = z^2 and x, y, z are in range [1..n].
I've run into what seems to be a type error inside my list comprehension guard. Here is my code:
-- integer square root
isqrt :: Int -> Float
isqrt = sqrt . fromIntegral

-- hypotenuse
hyp :: Int -> Int -> Float
hyp x y = isqrt (x^2 + y^2)

-- pythagorean triplets in range [1..n]
pyths :: Int -> [(Int, Int, Int)]
pyths n = [(x, y, truncate (hyp x y)) | x <- [1..n], y <- [x..n], elem (hyp x y) [1..n]]

Here is the error:
    • Couldn't match expected type 'Float' with actual type 'Int'
    • In the expression: n
      In the second argument of 'elem', namely '[1 .. n]'
      In the expression: elem (hyp x y) [1 .. n]
   |
11 | pyths n = [(x, y, truncate (hyp x y)) | x <- [1..n], y <- [x..n], elem (hyp x y) [1..n]]
   |

I can resolve the error by editing my guard from elem (hyp x y) [1..n] to elem (hyp x y) [1..fromIntegral n], which indicates to me that the variable n is somehow transformed from an Int to a Float at some point during the list comprehension.
The [1..fromIntegral n] doesn't look particularly concise or elegant compared to [1..5], is there another method that I should be using to either resolve or avoid this problem?

A:
which indicates to me that the variable n is somehow transformed from an Int to a Float at some point during the list comprehension.

Quite the opposite. You've declared n to be an Int in the type signature, and that fixes it forever. The Float here is hyp x y. You're asking whether hyp x y is an element of [1..n]. elem :: a -> [a] -> Bool, so it only makes sense to ask that question when you have an object that's the same type as the list's elements. That's the mismatch: to use elem with a Float and a list, you need that list to be a [Float]. But since the list is [1..n], it's clearly a [Int].
As for what you should do differently, I would suggest not using any floating-point arithmetic at all for this function. Probably it's fine for the scales you're working at, but I'd be too worried about rounding errors giving me wrong answers. Instead of searching for pairs such that sqrt (a^2 + b^2) is an integer, which requires a sqrt, you can search for triples such that a^2 + b^2 == c^2.

A: Here's some possible re-writing steps for your code,
-- pythagorean triplets in range [1..n]
pyths :: Int -> [(Int, Int, Int)]
pyths n =
  = [(x, y, truncate (hyp x y)) | x <- [1..n], y <- [x..n],
                                  elem (hyp x y) [1..n]]
                                        ------- no good
  = [(x, y, truncate h) | x <- [1..n], y <- [x..n]
                        , let h = (hyp x y)
                        , elem h [1..n]]   -- still no good

  = [(x, y, truncate h) | x <- [1..n], y <- [x..n]
                        , let h = sqrt . fromIntegral $ (x^2 + y^2)
                        , elem h [1..n]]]     -- still not

  = [(x, y, h) | x <- [1..n], y <- [x..n]
               , let h = truncate . sqrt . fromIntegral $ (x^2 + y^2)
               , h^2 == x^2 + y^2    -- truncate, and test...
               , elem h [1..n]]      -- yep!

  = [(x, y, h) | x <- [1..n], y <- [x..n]
               , let h = truncate . sqrt $ fromIntegral (x^2 + y^2) + 0.01
               , h^2 == x^2 + y^2
               , h <= n]

and suddenly it's working. Is it fast? Let's see,
> pyths 100 & length
52
(0.06 secs, 0 bytes)

> pyths 200 & length
127
(0.09 secs, 105081448 bytes)

> pyths 500 & length
386
(0.61 secs, 731602904 bytes)

> pyths 1000 & length
881
(2.31 secs, 2926682600 bytes)

> logBase 2 (231/61)
1.9210117038531713

So it's just about quadratic. Makes sense -- the enumeration of the (x,y) pairs already is such, and calculating the h directly and testing the equality with it, is O(1) for each pair.

But what about searching for the h that fulfills the equality, for each (x,y) combination? Is it a good idea, performance-wise?
ps :: Int -> [(Int, Int, Int)]
ps n = [(x, y, h) | x <- [1..n], y <- [x..n], h <- [y..n] , h^2 == x^2 + y^2]

> ps 100 & length
52
(0.41 secs, 486358048 bytes)

> ps 200 & length
127
(2.89 secs, 4268474328 bytes)

> logBase 2 (289/41)
2.8173736778825953    -- almost cubic!

> 0.41 * 10 ** 2.82
270.88431368311427

> 2.89 * 5 ** 2.82
270.39163693305665

The projected time for this version to run up to 1000 is 270 seconds, instead of the 2.3 seconds of the last re-write above.

*

*see also: Empirical orders of growth

Enumerating Cartesian product of two ranges  is quadratic; enumerating  Cartesian product of three ranges  is cubic. It only makes sense.
Another approach that could be faster than even the first one here wouldn't be searching for any triples at all but would instead generate them in order.

Braley and Ernst clash in first Iowa Senate debate
INDIANOLA, Iowa: The candidates in one of the closest Senate races in the nation faced off in a testy first debate in Iowa Sunday night, with Democrat Bruce Braley and Republican Joni Ernst seeking to distinguish themselves on live television.
Before a crowd of 300 people at Simpson College in Indianola, Braley, a four-term congressman from Waterloo, repeatedly accused Ernst of being too conservative and tried to tie her to the billionaire Koch brothers. Ernst, a state senator and lieutenant colonel in the Iowa National Guard from Red Oak, aggressively pushed back, saying Braley was part of a failed Congress and had lost touch with his Iowa roots
"I believe Washington is taking our country in the wrong direction and for the past eight years, Congressman Braley has been there," Ernst, 44, said during her opening remarks.
In his initial statement, Braley, 56, said: "This election is about a clear choice between moving Iowa forward or following a radical Tea Party agenda that's going to take us backwards."
Iowa is one of the year's most competitive Senate races. Republicans must gain six seats to win the Senate majority. The seat is open because longtime Democratic Sen. Tom Harkin is retiring, and Republicans want to flip it in the Nov. 4 election. Millions of dollars have poured into the race, with heavy advertising spending by the candidates and outside groups.
The latest Iowa Poll from the Des Moines Register shows Ernst with support from 44 percent of likely voters, compared to 38 percent for Braley. The survey of 546 likely voters, conducted by Selzer & Co., had a margin of error of 4.2 percentage points. Previous polls have shown the candidates closely matched.
Braley and Ernst clashed on issues such as jobs, health care, environmental policies and abortion, but mainly stuck to established talking points. Both touted their records and sought to tie the other to special interest groups.
During a discussion on national security, Ernst criticized Braley for his absence at House Veterans Affairs committee meetings in 2011 and 2012. Braley said he had reasons for those absences, including attending a military memorial event.
The two disagreed on health care. Braley said President Barack Obama's health care overhaul, the Affordable Care Act, has provided health care to Iowa residents that need it. Ernst said the program should be repealed because it has taken "personal health care decisions out of our hands."
Ernst said she wants to simplify tax policies and limit federal regulation to aid job creation. Braley said he supported raising the federal minimum wage and accused Ernst of opposing a wage hike. Ernst said she thought the minimum wage should be set by the states.
Braley said he would protect abortion rights and questioned Ernst's support for state-level legislation that he said would block abortion and restrict access to contraception. Ernst called the legislation "a statement of life" and said she supported contraception for women.
The exchange grew tense during the final minutes after Braley referenced the Koch brothers. Ernst said: "Congressman Braley, you're not running against these other people, you're running against me. I am a mother, I am a soldier and I am an independent leader. You are being funded by Tom Steyer, who is a California billionaire extreme environmentalist."
Braley retorted: "I realize that and President Obama's name is not on the ballot. And I'm not going to owe President Obama anything on Election Day. You're going to owe the Koch brothers everything."
At the end, both candidates agreed on one thing: whoever wins, the first post-Election Day call would be to longtime Republican Iowa Sen. Chuck Grassley.
The debate was sponsored by The Des Moines Register and KCCI-TV.
