Manufactured by a little company in Massachusetts named Abington Footwear, the first boot bearing the Timberland name hit the ground in 1973. Five years later, the company changed its name to reflect its most popular boot, a brand that has become synonymous with tough yet stylish footwear. And today, you're as likely to see the iconic tree emblem on a man's feet whether you're in an urban metropolis or deep in the backwoods.
To celebrate the 40th anniversary of the original Yellow Boot, Timberland has been releasing a slew of special boots, including a return of the sorely missed 6" collaboration, and some of its most popular and iconic silhouettes (the Super 6", World Hiker and Super Boot) with updated technology (Vibram outsole, PrimaLoft insulation, Gore-Tex membrane) and green-friendly materials.
The excitement over the re-release of these boots is coming from a range of men, but it's particularly noticeable from Timberland's two core customer bases: the urban customer and the classic outdoorsman, two seemingly diametrically opposite demographics that have both shown immense loyalty to the brand for decades.
I was admittedly late to the Timberland craze. Growing up in the Bay Area, where the temperature rarely dropped below 50 F, there was no functional reason to wear boots. By the time I hit high school in the early 1990s and I could buy my own shoes, West Coast rap ruled and no one I knew was checking for Timberlands — or anything else boot-wise. I always thought of Timberland as a New York thing. Unbeknownst to me, Timberland was rapidly expanding its reach worldwide. I finally opened my footwear-buying mind and bought my first pair of construction Timbs as a senior in college, and I haven't looked back since.
Up until that point, Timberland's consumer had been highly utilitarian. By the end of the 1980s, the brand was making an estimate of $150 million to $200 million in sales to hikers, fishermen and the like. But when hip-hop adopted the New England company as the unofficial boot of the culture, sales skyrocketed to nearly $1 billion by the end of the 1990s. From a young Tupac Shakur wearing the Super Boot (aka the 40 Below, aka the Iditarod) as Bishop in the film Juice to then-buddy Notorious B.I.G. name-dropping the brand throughout his 1994 debut, Ready to Die, there was no denying the influence that hip-hop was having on Timberland — and vice versa.
"The reason why hip-hop has embraced the Timberland brand is because these boots are made to put in work," says Dallas Penn, cohost of the popular The Combat Jack Show and avid boot collector (he owns over 60 pairs of Timberlands). "In our culture, there is really nothing more valuable than being authentic or keeping it real. I feel like Timberland's ethos was always about what we live by."


The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency recently awarded the State of Vermont and the Lake Champlain Basin Program $4 million to implement the 2016 Lake Champlain Phosphorus Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDL), which sets phosphorus pollution targets for Vermont segments of Lake Champlain. The Agency of Natural Resources and the Agency of Agriculture, Food and Markets are administering approximately $3.5 million for implementation projects that will reduce phosphorus and sediment loads from developed lands, agricultural lands, and wastewater treatment facilities, and restore wetlands in the Lake Champlain Basin of Vermont. For more information on the current funding opportunities below, contact Bethany Sargent.
The Department of Environmental Conservation, in close partnership with the Vermont Agency of Agriculture, Food and Markets, is requesting proposals to develop and implement a Best Management Practice (BMP) Challenge program for agricultural producers in the Lake Champlain Basin in Vermont. A BMP challenge is an opportunity to incentivize greater reduction of manure and fertilizer applications, as well as priority field practices, by providing a safety net for potential economic impacts and increased educational and technical support. Farmers will try a new or innovative practice by testing it in a field with a control plot to evaluate production differences under a trial system. Compensation for any lost production will be based on differences in yield between the plots and quantified by a contractor. Proposals are being accepted for a contractor who will develop and implement the full program, in consultation with an advisory committee.
The Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) is seeking proposals for stormwater assessments to assist municipalities and private landowners in compliance with the proposed DEC stormwater general permit requirements for three or more impervious acre parcels in the Lake Champlain Basin. The project will fund assessments that will effectively and economically achieve the water quality redevelopment criteria for the three or more impervious acre parcel(s), as well as maximize treatment on three or more impervious acre parcel(s) of offsite stormwater run-on and/or diversion of offsite runoff.
The Department of Environmental Conservation is seeking proposals to develop a program to provide technical assistance, based on initial education and outreach, for Municipal Wastewater Treatment Facilities (WWTF) subject to reduced effluent phosphorus limits, with a specific focus on implementing detailed WWTF optimization plans for approximately 3-5 facilities with multiple types of treatment technologies. WWTF optimization offers the potential for innovative solutions to reduce effluent phosphorus loads by adjusting internal operations and process control within the existing treatment works.
The Department of Environmental Conservation is seeking proposals to construct green stormwater infrastructure (GSI) for municipalities in the Lake Champlain Basin to reduce polluted runoff and high stormflows from developed lands that drain into combined sewer systems (CSSs) and that contribute to combined sewer overflows (CSOs). This project will target GSI to infiltrate stormwater runoff in developed lands draining to CSSs, before runoff enters CSSs, to minimize the risk of CSOs in a cost-effective manner. Eligible projects include stormwater reductions using GSI to CSSs proposed to relieve CSO events, or stormwater treatment for stormwater that is being or will be separated from a CSS under a municipal Long Term Control Plan.
The Department of Environmental Conservation is seeking proposals to implement priority wetland restoration and enhancement efforts through easement acquisition and restoration, or restoration of existing conserved lands, to attenuate nonpoint source phosphorus in the Lake Champlain Basin in Vermont. Wetland restoration projects will target critical areas where restoration will result in the attenuation of nonpoint source phosphorus, thereby maintaining and improving downstream water quality. Projects may incorporate wetland buffer, river corridor, and floodplain easements and restoration. Design, engineering, construction and planting activities are eligible. Permitting costs are not eligible. New acquisition with restoration or enhancement are eligible, as is restoration on existing conserved lands.

Q: Switch intents on/off in multi-tenant agent I am using one DailogFlow(DF) agent for multiple customers. The agent is used for a voice assistant. I use Voximplant as the programmable telephony environment. The agent has dynamic responses build-in using placeholders. Based on the customer using the agent I can give different answers.
I would like to offer a set on intents in DF that the customer can choose from. Means, I need to be able to disable intents (ignore) based on a sessionID or other parameter. Disabling intents for the whole agent is not an option as some customers choose to enable other intents then others.
Anyone knows if that is possible? Kind of use the "ignore" function in ES on a multi-tenant approach.
Appreciate your help

An early and sustained peripheral inflammatory response in acute ischaemic stroke:relationships with infection and atherosclerosis
Emsley, Hedley C. A. and Smith, Craig J. and Gavin, Carole M. and Georgiou, Rachel F. and Vail, Andy and Barberan, Elisa M. and Hallenbeck, John M. and Del Zoppo, Gregory J. and Rothwell, Nancy J. and Tyrrell, Pippa J. and Hopkins, Stephen J. (2003) An early and sustained peripheral inflammatory response in acute ischaemic stroke:relationships with infection and atherosclerosis. Journal of Neuroimmunology, 139 (1-2). pp. 93-101. ISSN 0165-5728
Official URL: https://doi.org/10.1016/S0165-5728(03)00134-6
Central nervous system and peripheral inflammation is important in the responses to ischaemic stroke, and may also predispose to its development. We aimed to identify (1) the extent to which a peripheral inflammatory response is activated in patients following acute stroke, and (2) whether there was evidence for preexisting peripheral inflammation. Thirty-six patients with ischaemic stroke within 12 h of onset of symptoms had serial blood samples taken up to 12 months for analysis of markers of inflammation. Thirty-six control subjects, individually matched for age, sex and degree of atherosclerosis, were also studied. Median C-reactive protein (CRP) was elevated, relative to controls (2.08 mg/l), from admission (4.31 mg/l) (p≤0.001) until 3 months (2.90 mg/l) (p≤0.01), the greatest elevation occurring at 5-7 days (17.67 mg/l) (p≤0.001). Elevations were also seen in erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and white blood cell (WBC) count until 3 months. Median plasma IL-6 was also elevated, relative to controls (9 pg/ml), by 24 h after onset of symptoms (22 pg/ml) (p≤0.01), and remained elevated at 5-7 days (23 pg/ml) (p≤0.01), but not at 3 months. Less marked elevations in these markers were seen in patients without evidence of infection except for IL-6, which was not increased in the absence of infection. These data provide evidence of an early and sustained peripheral inflammatory response to acute ischaemic stroke in patients with or without evidence of infection. The very early increase in concentrations of inflammatory markers after stroke may either be induced by stroke itself, or may indicate a preexisting inflammatory condition in stroke patients which may contribute to the development of stroke.

Creamy formula that Instantly rehabilitates your hair, by infusing healing natural nutrients from plant botanicals,oils and silk amino-acids. Seventeen amino-acids found in caviar extract. isoleucine, lysine, methionine, cystine, phenylalanine, tyrosine, threonine, tryptophan, valine, arginine, histidine, alanine, aspartic acid, glutamic acid, glycine, proline and serine get to work.
This reconstructive formulation infuses your hair with hydration, and the silk amino acids needed to condition dry, lifeless hair, porous hair.
Apply the deep conditioner to the hair starting at your ends and avoiding the scalp as much as possible. Deep conditioners should never be deliberately applied to the scalp. While you want your hair from root to tip to be saturated with the deep conditioner, putting it on the scalp can interfere with your hair's natural oils (sebum) and create build up. Cover your hair with a plastic cap and then go under a hooded dryer for 20 to 30 minutes at low heat setting. The heat allows the hair shaft to open and the deep conditioner to enter along the shaft. Allow the hair to get back to room temperature and then wash it out. Make your final rinse a cold one to seal back the hair cuticles.
This product is recommended for All Hair types. However, its especially formulated 2abc,3abc,4abc.

Q: How to retrieve the values from an Application.properties? Properties Snippet.
# Email (MailProperties)
spring.mail.default-encoding=UTF-8 # Default MimeMessage encoding.
spring.mail.host= # SMTP server host. For instance `smtp.example.com`
spring.mail.jndi-name= # Session JNDI name. When set, takes precedence to others mail settings.
spring.mail.password= # Login password of the SMTP server.
spring.mail.port= # SMTP server port.
spring.mail.properties.*= # Additional JavaMail session properties.
spring.mail.protocol=smtp # Protocol used by the SMTP server.
spring.mail.test-connection=false # Test that the mail server is available on startup.
spring.mail.username= # Login user of the SMTP server.
some.prop = testingTesting

How can I retrieve springmail.protocol or multiple properties in my java classes?
Attempt
    @Component
public class MyBean {

    private final String prop;

    @Autowired
    public MyBean(@Value("${some.prop}") String prop) {
        this.prop = prop;
        System.out.println("================== " + prop + "================== ");
    }
}

I am currently using this method to print out my properties from my app.properties file. I want to annotate more than just one value.
@value "{some.prop, second.prop, 3rd.prop}") String prop, propOne, Prop2

is it possible to call multiple values? Also after I instantiate the properties in this class, How can I use these properties in another class?

A: You could easily annotate more than one argument
 @Autowired
 public MyBean(
    @Value("${some.prop}") String prop,
    @Value("${some.prop2}") String prop2) {
}

You may also @Autowire instance of org.springframework.core.env.Environment  (as method argument or instance field) and call getProperty method to obtain value of properties.
Injecting single properties as @Value is generally better, because does it does not tie your business logic to Spring API.
In Spring Boot you could also use annotation @ConfigurationProperties(prefix="connection") on a class to inject multiple properties. See http://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/current/reference/html/boot-features-external-config.html#boot-features-external-config-typesafe-configuration-properties for details.

Hope's eye shifted from person-to-person as doctors reconstructed her face.
Although under sedation, she flinched as screws were drilled into her gaping facial wound to connect sutures in what was her fifth surgery.
Poachers attacked Hope, cutting the rhinoceros's horn from her face, leaving her nasal cavities open. Veterinarians saved her life.
In this July 2015 photo provided by Michael Slattery, doctors place a cover over Hope's facial wound. Hope was attacked by poachers for her horn.
Hope's fifth surgery, just one of the attempts to rebuild her face, was done in July as 15 TCU students watched.
"I took the pulse of a dehorned rhino," Wildlife Society President Sharra Blair-Kucera said in an email. "I watched a baby rhino play and then run and hide behind it's dehorned mother."
The students traveled to the Amakhala Game Reserve in South Africa to see the effects of rhino poaching. They returned to the states determined to bolster the Rhino Initiative, a partnership between the game reserve and TCU.
Michael Slattery, the director of the Institute for Environmental Studies, used a $25,000 grant through TCU's Global Innovators Initiative which is part of TCU's Discovering Global Citizenship program to start the conservation project.
"I knew I wanted to do something in South Africa and take students back to my home country," Slattery said. "I knew wildlife trafficking was a huge problem globally, and I wanted someone who was working on the ground on wildlife issues."
In this July 2015 photo provided by Michael Slattery, Hope the rhino focuses on the camera during a surgery to reconstruct her face. This was Hope's fifth surgery.
Through a friend of his brother, Slattery found Dr. William Fowlds, a wildlife veterinarian, who would become TCU's main contact in South Africa for the Rhino Initiative.
Fowlds visited the campus in April 2014. He gave lectures and worked with students to create a multifaceted response plan to the rhino crisis.
"We lose more than three rhinos a day in [South Africa] that we know about," Fowlds said in a Skype interview. "Animals like Hope are not even counted in the statistics because they survive."
"Traveling to South Africa was a way for students to truly understand wildlife management in a geopolitical context," Slattery said.
They visited Fowlds in South Africa and watched as he and his team cared for rhinos and wildebeests.
"The students were blown away," James English, a co-chair of the Global Innovators Initiative, said. "It's very hands-on. It's not theoretical at all."
The procedure on Hope was the epitome of real.
"That one was hard to watch," said Sidney Dennis, a junior communication studies major. "Her eyes were open and being able to watch her eye move around and focus on other people was really interesting because you really saw the animal, like you saw she was actually there."

"When poachers attacked Hope, they hacked off her horn, and took with it a significant portion of her face, sinuses and skull," Haley King, a political science major who graduated in May, wrote on the TCU Global blog.
Fowlds said he and his team had trouble finding anchor points for a cover because so much bone was gone.
"While the TCU students were with us, we got halfway through the procedure and decided that attempt was not going to work, so we actually had to scrap that mask and try something else," Fowlds said.
They sutured elephant hide, which is flexible, to her face. However, it only lasted two and a half weeks.
"We were looking for something that could sort of give when she tried to rub, because it must be extremely itchy for her," Fowlds said. "We still haven't come up with a solution."
http://www.tcu360.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/091515_RT_RhinoAudioSlideshowFINAL_VX-25941_lowres.mp4
Fowlds added that with every failure, he and his team learn how to treat injured rhinos in the future.
"The sad reality is she won't be the last one we have to deal with," Fowlds said. "There will be more like her."
TCU's Plan of Action
While Hope recovers in South Africa, TCU students are attacking the rhino problem on five fronts: rescue, protection, demand reduction, community development and cyberconservation.
Students meet once a week in a follow-up class to create TCU's response to the rhino crisis.
"In that class we're going to be working on maybe one or two other grants to provide other funding for them," Dennis said. "We're also working on some videos to show the greater TCU community."
A main focus of the Rhino Initiative is to create a website, an insight into conservation activities and issues, Slattery said.
"It might show things like rhino procedures being done in real time," English said.
TCU has also donated a drone that is used for checking up on rhinos during the day, as well as for tracking rhinos that have already been darted before a medical procedure, Slattery said.
"Once you dart an animal you've got to make sure you know where it goes, because if it runs off into the bush and you don't reach it within a certain time frame, it'll die from the drugs," Slattery said.
Students are also looking for ways to reduce demand for rhino horn, specifically in Vietnam and China. A belief that rhino horn can cure medical ailments, as well as the high price for the horn, drives the poaching.
Spreading Hope
Despite the rhino's population decreasing, Fowlds said he is hopeful.
"There is this degree of helplessness and despondency that has been creeping into South Africans because we've been throwing everything we can at it for four years and the crisis just gets deeper," Fowlds said. "So to have a project like what TCU has committed to on our side with the potential for it to grow for us is extremely motivating."
Fowlds said the energy and concern the Fort Worth community is showing in the rhino project is invoking new hope in the fight for the rhino.
"I don't want TCU to underestimate the impact that it will have," Fowlds said. "It's just this energizing effect that they are already having on our community."
It's an energy that can save other rhinos like Hope.
"She's doing well; she's eating well," Fowlds said. "She's an amazing animal."

Economic Impact: What occupations should have the smallest student loan default rate?
Colleges and universities offering programs that lead to careers in occupations that are relatively high-paying and have low unemployment tend to have lower student loan default rates.
Some of the top "low-default occupations" for jobs that typically require an associate's degree theoretically would be dental hygienists and respiratory therapists.
For jobs needing a bachelor's degree, some careers with the best combination of high wages and low unemployment rates are aerospace engineers and software developers.
For master's degrees, nurse practitioners and physician assistants are career choices where there are low default rates.
The professional and technical services industry, for example, provides higher-than-average wages with lower-than-average unemployment as does the health care industry.
Finding the right occupation with higher-than average wages and lower-than-average jobless rates is important because those jobs tend to have lower student loan default rates.
Student loan default rates have been generally rising in the past decade, according to the U.S. Department of Education.
Default rates reached a historical low of 4.5 percent in 2003 — prior to the Great Recession. But by 2014, the latest data available, the average student loan default rate in the nation had risen to 11.5 percent.
Finding what programs offered by a college or university is important in determining whether its students are likely to default.
In addition to occupational characteristics of graduates, Chmura Economics & Analytics created a student loan default model that includes institutional characteristics directly related to the school and its student body, as well as the economic climate of the state in which the school is located. Those factors were important predictors as well.
For example, institutions with a higher percentage of students who did not graduate with a degree had higher default rates. This finding is expected, since a student who takes on debt for a four-year degree and drops out after two years is unlikely to obtain a job that will pay a salary sufficient to repay the loan.
It is not easy to answer the question whether students who graduate with a degree in an occupation that is not in demand are more likely to default on their loans than students with degrees that are needed by employers.
Student loan default is affected by many factors other than occupation, including overall economic conditions and students' family finances.
Another challenge in determining what occupations will have the smallest default rate is the availability of data availability. Although higher education institutions know the degree choice of the students who default on their loans, the Department of Education only releases the overall loan default rate of institutions.
We do know the number of students who graduate from each institution and the degree they were awarded, such as engineering, economics or registered nurse. Some degrees, such as registered nurse, sync up easily to a specific occupation. Others, such as economics, could end up in a variety of occupations from financial adviser to risk assessment.


One of my last projects at Azalea Graphics, I created this Patient Guide for Duke Raleigh Hospital, by following closely existing Duke branding guidelines, including brand assets available for download. Therefore, it falls under the category of overflow assistance. The guide is a take-home item given to patients by their health care provider and explains what to expect during their time at Duke Raleigh Hospital.
This project easily met the client's expectations, and there were zero issues with their brand managers, who approved the overall aesthetics after my first comp (there were a number of revisions to be made, in terms of which article/section should go where, but nothing in regards to the look and feel).

China vs Australia in the pool and across the oceans
Marie-Alice McLean-Dreyfus
Published 12 Aug 2016
China-Australia Relations
This weekend, swimmers Mack Horton from Australia and China's Sun Yang are expected to race each other in the 1500m freestyle final, an event that is shaping up to be one of the big moments of the Rio Olympics with a nationalist focus that goes well beyond the pool.
On day one of the Games, Chinese social networking sites and state-owned media lit up with negative comments after Horton described Sun Yang as a 'drug cheat'. Netizens were angry not only at Horton's words but also more widely at a perceived notion that Australia is 'racist'. The unfolding of this sporting spat reveals how China wishes to be perceived by its international peers.
Following Horton's gold medal in the 400m freestyle event and his consequent comments about Sun Yang, Chinese netizens were quick to criticise him. Weibo user ????? wrote, 'in fact, Horton is scared of Sun Yang. Even if he had a victory today, it is only short-lived. He is unable to ignore the strength of Sun Yang! He can only shoot his mouth off.'
In addition to criticising Horton, many other netizens were critical of the Australian culture that engendered his comments. As Weibo user TKO-????T wrote, garnering over 9000 'likes', '[Horton] won the contest but lost his moral standing...when Australian media broadcast the opening ceremony, as soon as the Chinese delegation entered they showed a MacDonald's advertisement – my god! Next year I was going to go to Australia, but I would be a moron to contribute to their GDP!'
Comments such as these mirror the recent negative campaign by state-owned media against Australia. This started with an editorial in both the English and Chinese language Global Times newspapers criticising Australia for its support of the ruling by the International Court of Arbitration. In addition to calling Australia a 'paper cat' it also remarked upon Australia's 'inglorious history' in which it was 'established through uncivilised means'.
Horton's comments have allowed the editors at Global Times to warm to Australia's 'inglorious' history theme. [fold]
In an editorial following the 400m relay, the editors accused Australia of being 'second-class citizen in the West' with 'Horton and his backers representing the dark side of Australian society.' In a similar editorial published in the Chinese language Global Times, the author described Australia as 'inferior to other Western countries. According to the author, this inferiority to other Western countries has led Australia to adopt a feeling of superiority and look down upon its Asian neighbours.
In contrast, China is presented as morally superior with its people fully united behind Yang. China's unified stance is clearly evident on social media sites, with a hashtag #Apologisetosunyang one of the top trending topics on Weibo.
Although Australia is savaged in the Chinese media, as Peter Cai wrote on The Interpreter, these attacks 'lack real substance.' Why this storm in a swimming pool is interesting is because it reveals China's changing perception of itself and how it wishes to be viewed by other countries. As Merriden Varrall has previously written, China and Chinese policymakers view the world in a distinctly different way to the West through what she calls 'Chinese Worldviews'. These worldviews can be used to explain why Horton's comments have caused so much offense in China.
According to the first worldview, China has suffered a Century of Humiliation at the hands of foreign imperialists. Seen in this light, many Chinese, viewed Horton's comments as another attempt by the West to subdue China and contain its rise.
Horton's comments also reflect another worldview, that 'history is destiny'. Following this reasoning, China was once a leader in Asia and it will be a leader again. Sun Yang's domination in the swimming pool represents the domination China wishes to emulate on the global stage. Horton winning the 400m event was an upset to the natural order that China should be a leader. Indeed, Sun Yang's own comments in the press conference following his victory in the 200m demonstrate this. Reflecting on the growing place of China in the world, Sun Yang stated 'I represent the new world.'
The fact that China united behind Sun Yang reflects another worldview: China is family. The simultaneous universal condemnation of Horton and admiration of Sun Yang indicates that the Chinese are fiercely proud of their culture and national identity and will not accept any outside criticism of it.
Ultimately, the Horton-Yang battle is one that will be decided in the pool, not in the media or on social networking sites. However, understanding the source of Chinese perceptions can help explain why the Chinese reacted so strongly to what many Australians saw as a bit of friendly, sporting rivalry. As China continues to rise, its citizens and media will continue to defend itself from outside criticisms. Australians should take note of the underlying reasons behind China's reaction and the wider implications for Australian-China relations.

When Life Knocks You Down – Do A Burpee!
Just over a year ago I walked into my neighbour's garage for my first ever personal training session. In the past, just the thought of exercise was more than enough for me plus with a lean frame – or skinny beanpole look – I never actually felt unfit or the need to be fitter. In fact, I was more than happy to watch other people do exercise whether it was running or doing some mad obstacle course.
That's not to say I'd never tried to "get fit". I joined a gym several years ago and followed the tradition of paying a fortune to only go a handful of times to sit on an exercise bike and watch TV. When I was in my late teens I also owned some metal spring contraption that was sold in Argos and was endorsed by Mr Universe. How he got so ripped using it I'll never know as I kept breaking it due to it's crappy design rather than my amazing strength!
Fast forward to that fateful day in December 2015 when I was relieved of my alien cyst baby. My amazingly lean and "much desired" physique was probably not because of that superb metabolic system that kept me fit and healthy whilst stuffing my face with cake, but more to do with the fact that my insides were as useless as the spring metal contraption bought several years back.
So why start training? When I came out of hospital I was just over 11 stone. Had I had to undergo further surgery, drug courses or even another day of hospital food then I'm not sure I'd have done well. By training I could hopefully build up my weight so that if difficult times arise again then my body should be able to cope better.
I also wanted to improve my fitness. The reasoning for this is that I could gauge how I was doing week in/week out. Whilst I was able to function in the lead up to surgery, I wouldn't have been able to run, do weights or partake in anything fitness related. Maintaining fitness should benefit me health wise, but it could possibly act as an early warning system should there be any other issues to deal with.
My first PT session was very basic (not the picture below). Squats and planks if I remember rightly – and neither were particularly successful. I couldn't lift a 15kg bar off the floor – even a 2kg plate felt heavy, and sit-ups were painful and uncomfortable. As for burpees – I could get just about get down on the floor, but getting up was a struggle. Thankfully I survived that session just about intact – and then I went back for more!
Surprisingly I enjoyed the training sessions and after a few weeks Becky, my amazing trainer, unleashed me on her Llanelli Beach Bootcamp. In a matter of months I went from doing nothing to one PT session a week to two bootcamps, one sprints and one PT session a week. Not bad for someone who was adamant they'd never ever be seen on the Machynys sand doing exercise!
Training has been a big challenge, but it has been good seeing progress. For example, due to a shoulder dislocation at the end of 2014 I struggled at the start to one arm press even a bottle of water – I can now one arm press a 10kg kettle bell. I can burpee, do full press-ups, do weighted sit-ups, do deadlifts, run, etc.
Last week I did my first split jerk session with 20kg going overhead (above – image c/o Becky). I've also managed to row 5K, and also do a couple of 5K Park Runs – the last one coming in under 30 minutes.
I also have sand in places sand should never be and own more training clothes than normal clothes! I'm also still enjoying the sessions – even the cold, wet and windy ones down on the beach. Who'd have thought that would happen, eh?
Whilst I expected the fitness side of things to improve – the process has brought other unexpected benefits. I think it's made me more confident and I'm sure it's better for my day to day wellbeing. I try to stay relatively stress free these days and exercise definitely seems to help. There's also the friendship side of it plus I get to do exercise stuff with Jude, which is pretty cool.
So one year of training done.. what's next? At the moment the next stage is to keep on training! I've no plans to do anything "big" like a marathon, but I do want to be able to run a 5K non-stop, improve my PBs etc. I'm probably fitter now than I've ever been and I feel a million times better for it.
In truth I don't think I'd have got into this had it not been for the operation so that dark December cloud definitely had a big silver lining. It's easy to become complacent about exercise but no one is ever too old to start trying to improve your fitness. The other point from this post is that it's important to grab the positives from every situation and that step in to a neighbour's garage 12 months ago ended up being a step into a much wider world.


With most insurance carriers there is no price break for earthquake insurance when a home is retrofitted to the foundation, , it only allows you to qualify to purchase earthquake insurance.
Here is some advice, your money might be best used on having a seismic retrofit done to your homes in lieu of securing earthquake insurance. Why? Earthquake insurance deductibles work as a stated percentage of the limits of your home insurance policy. Deductibles typically range from 2%, 5%, 10%, 15%, 20% & 25%. This contrasts to a standard home insurance policy that has a fixed dollar amount such as $500 or $1,000 for claims such as fire and theft.
If you had to file an earthquake claim you would be responsible to pay the appropriate deductible towards each category.
For example, if you had earthquake insurance in place with a 10% deductible and your home is insured for $400,000, other structures insured at $40,000, and personal property insured at $280,000 you would have to pay the following towards each category for reimbursement of your earthquake claim.
Dwelling, you pay the first $40,000 in repair or replacement costs before the insurance company will pay for the remainder of the repairs that are necessary.
Other Structures, you pay the first $4,000 in repair or replacement costs before the insurance company will pay for the remainder of the repairs that are necessary.
Personal Property, you pay the first $28,000 in repair or replacement costs before the insurance company will pay for the remainder of the repairs that are necessary.
Additional Living Expenses, protections vary among each insurance carrier. Some will offer a benefit without a financial cap others might provide a maximum limit of $25,000. Review your policy to see what protections are available to you.
The cost of a retrofit is dependent on how many connections you make from the sill plate to the foundation in addition the overall footprint of the home. Based on a typical Portland home with a full unfinished basement I would estimate it would probably cost you between $3,000 – $5,000 to retrofit your home to the foundation. I recommend contacting a seismic retrofit contractor to give you an estimate on what it would cost to bolt your home to the foundation, I refer my all my clients to Portland seismic retrofit company Earthquake Tech.
My home is bolted to the foundation and I do not carry earthquake insurance. Why? When the earthquake happens I anticipate that my home will sustain damage but because of the footprint of the home, the strength of the foundation, and the amount of seismic connections made to the foundation I believe that the damage incurred will be less than what I would pay towards an earthquake insurance deductible.
Don't Risk More Than You Can Afford To Lose | This is a measure of severity. If the maximum possible loss could not be paid out of your existing finances without necessitating borrowing or if such a loss might lead to bankruptcy then insurance must be considered.
Does my home qualify for earthquake insurance?
What financing is available for me to seismically upgrade my home?
Consider The Odds | What is the probability that a loss will occur?
The State of Oregon is designated as an area with a 'very high seismic hazard' and ranks third in the nation for earthquake damage estimates in the future. Projected losses in the Cascadia region alone could exceed $12 billion, with over 30,000 destroyed buildings, and 8,000 lives lost in the event of a magnitude 8.5 Cascadia Subduction Zone earthquake. Wang, Yumei and J.L. Clark. 1999. Earthquake Damage in Oregon: Preliminary Estimates of Future Earthquake Losses. DOGAMI: Special Paper 29.
Don't Risk A Lot for A Little | After weighing the cost of insurance or a seismic retrofit compared to the potential out-of-pocket expense. Don't self-insure a loss that could be transferred to an insurance carrier or a loan from a bank for a known amount of money.


My favorite dish towels are the ones that Mama makes. They�re usually simple unbleached muslin with a healthy dose of hand embroidery. When she sent me a new set of days-of-the-week towels with some of my favorite flowers, I decided to use them only for decoration. I wanted them to remain forever free of stains. And that�s exactly how it worked for about a year � until Mama came to visit.
This time she brought a dish towel with a bright yellow duck appliqued on it and another with purple pansies embroidered on it. I hung the new one with purple pansies on the stove handle where I could admire it and keep it safe, but in a flash it was gone. I found it crumpled up on the counter with splatters of chocolate cake batter.
If one of the boys had used my special towel, he would have gotten an ear full about all the work that had gone into creating that. Instead, I said nothing because it�s hard to argue with the creator. Besides I knew what Mama�s answer would have been. I made them to be used and enjoyed.
She�s right, really. Too often I save things. I protect them and pull them out only on special occasions, afraid that my day-to-day life is too messy. You can always bleach them, she says. The embroidery should still hold up.
If the Creator isn�t afraid of stains, maybe I shouldn�t be either.

Wife of His Youth
People often make the categories of race, class, gender, sexuality, age, physical condition, etc., contend for the title of most oppressed. Within "race," various populations groups then compete for that top spot. Through the book, The Wife of His Youth, by Charles Wadell Chesnutt one can learn that racism existed within the "race," colored mattered, and that racism evolves throughout the racial history.	Racism existed within the race. People within the groups competed to be at the top. In The Wife of His Youth, the main character Mr. Ryder is a highly respected man in his society called the Blue Veins. The Blue Veins is a society for the colored people who have white skin that their veins show. Mr. Ryder is faced with a situation where he has to choose to stay at the top by hiding the truth and marrying a highly respected woman in the Blue Veins, Mrs. Molly Dixon or reveal his secret and be married to a woman who is considered low among the races. However Mr. Ryder chooses to reveal that a former slave is his wife, but in order for him to come to the conclusion he struggles much about how the others would feel about this situation because mostly likely people of his society would look down upon him. Color matters within the race. In The Wife of His Youth, the Blue Veins is a society that does not emphasize culture of the race, but how light the color of their skins are. The people of the society must have really light skin to be even considered to be a member of the Blue Veins. The wife of his youth, a former slave, Liza Jane would never be considered to be a member of the Blue Veins because she was very black and her social status in society was of a former plantation worker. One could also see that Mr. Ryder struggles whether or not to reveal his secret to the Blue Veins because colored mattered and he did not know if they would be able to accept the fact that he was married to his ugly black woman. In addition, Mr. Ryder had to somehow gain recognition from the Blue Veins that it was okay to have a wife outside the approval of the race, the society. He asks, "Shall you acknowledge her?" (p. 56) He wait for their nod of some kind of positive reaction. Racism evolves; it has no single, permanently fixed set of characteristics. Racism is not a set theory in the minds of the people, but instead a theory that constantly changes according to the time and the needs of the environment. Mr. Ryder in the Blue Veins who was in a high position who accepted only the light-colored is able to reconsider his status for the wife of his youth. He was able to persuade the Blue Veins so that the wife of his youth can be accepted in the society. Also by reading The Wife of His Youth, one knows that Mr. Ryder was a former slave, too who just happens to be free and of high status at the present moment. After he becomes "a someone" in society he wishes to forget about his past until the wife of his youth comes along his path and makes his decide, truth or fame. Through the book, The Wife of His Youth, one can learn that racism existed within the "race," colored mattered, and that racism evolves. The challenge is to understand the changes of racial history and draw strength from our understandings. Also today one has to acknowledge the fact that other races exist, not only blacks. In doing so, one has to proceed with both boldness and infinite care. Talking race is an intellectual minefield; for every social observation, one can find three contradictions and four necessary qualifications. Crawling through the complexity, it helps to think: "keep your eye on the prize, which is uniting against the monster." Bibliography:

One of the most common questions I hear from food business owners is "how do I determine my marketing budget?" And the truth is there's no simple answer. It's a process of trial and error, and every budget is relative to the amount of money coming in and many other factors. Some consultants will say to spend 5% to 10% of revenue on a marketing budget, and that may work, but there is no silver bullet when it comes to a marketing spend.
Creating a marketing budget is something that takes some time and experience. My company works with clients for years to find the sweet spot of ROI, and there are many lessons along the way. We've learned to observe them, learn from them, and build a marketing plan that around them.
Before you can decide what to spend, you need to know where you're trying to go. Do you want to increase foot traffic, establish your spot as a destination, launch a second location? Take time to write out what your goals are for the coming year and what success will look like for your business.
Working with an accountant, go through the previous year or more to get a firm grasp on P&L for your company so you know exactly where you stand and what you might have room to spend.
Take the time to look at previous marketing spends—perhaps for advertising, consulting, or sponsorships; and then turn a critical lens on them. Were they worthwhile for your brand or not? Did you see a trackable ROI from those activations? If so, and if the experience was positive overall, those are the ones to keep. If not, ask yourself why that spend wasn't successful—Did it target the wrong audience, were you not represented clearly, or did you miss opportunities to leverage the activation properly? Then you can decide if you want to try again with different parameters (for example, looking for opportunities to bring people into your restaurant when you sponsor an event, rather than just seeing your name in the 'sponsor stew') or if you want to try something new.
Next, start thinking of a marketing vision for the year. This begins with identifying who your target audience is and what their values are. What is important to the segment of the population that is going to spend the most money in your locations or on your products? Once you know their values, you can decide how to attract them. Maybe they value community engagement, and so connecting with area nonprofits through event sponsorship makes sense. Perhaps your target demographic are tuned in to social media, so spending money to improve your online presence would be appropriate.
Once you've done this, go back to the numbers and take a look at what is a reasonable spend based on the capital you have to work with. For some things, like ad placement on social media, it's possible to start small and test the waters. Other spends, such as sponsorships, typically have a higher price tag but may have a longer lasting impact, as you enjoy exposure leading up to, during, and after the event. Coming up with your budget is about weighing those options and deciding what you want to take a chance on the year to come, according to where you think your money will do the most work for your brand.
Marketing is about sharing your brand with the world, so you must have the best pieces in place to help you tell your story. Investing in high quality photography, graphic design, and copywriting will only help to elevate your brand so that when you are marketing yourself in the community, that activity points back to a brand that people will love!
Photography—You might be able to snap some great pictures on your phone, but high quality photography is still essential and worth investment.
Graphic design—Don't design your own ads or rely on publications to do it for you. Hire a designer who understands your concept and brand.
Web design—A professional should be able to create a highly responsive site that allows you to see who visits and what actions they take when they do. They should also be able to optimize your site so that it comes up quickly in searches. And working with a pro will also help you troubleshoot when web issues come up that you can't solve on your own.
Copywriting—You are the expert on your story and your brand voice, but you might not be the best person to communicate it. Trust a professional to create copy for your website, marketing pieces, and even on your menu.
Print marketing pieces—You may need tools, including postcards, door hangers, wholesale marketing sheets, etc that go out into the world representing your business. Make sure they are the best quality you can afford.
Take a look at the calendar and determine the marketing cycle that works best for you, meaning, how often you want to engage in specific marketing activities like events—monthly, quarterly, etc. Do the research to identify what events might be right for your brand, and then compare the costs.
When creating your overall marketing plan for the year, remember, it's not just about giving money. You have at least two assets that people are always looking for—food and space. If you can offer those things in lieu of cash, you increase the connection to your brand with less investment, and that's always a good thing!

Willka T'ika sits at the heart of the Sacred Valley of the Inca.
The Sacred Valley cuts a gentle curve through the Andes between the two 20,000-foot peaks dominating the region: Ausangate in the southeast and Salkkantay, near Machu Picchu, in the northwest. At 9,000 feet above sea level and just 13 degrees south of the equator, the air of the Sacred Valley is pure and its light crystalline.
Willka T'ika is located at Paradero Rumichaka, 2 kilometers north of Urubamba, a 75-minute drive from the Cusco airport en route to Machu Picchu, and a 30-minute drive from Ollantaytambo train station and the trains to Machu Picchu.
There are three options for accommodation for this retreat. The Garden Rooms are on the first floor and have views of the garden. The Luxury Rooms are on the second floor, are more spacious, and have views of the mountains as well as the garden.
All rooms have portable heating and modern private bathrooms with an excellent hot water supply. The sustainable guest rooms reflect the textures and colors of the Andes. Fresh flowers welcome all guests and cozy hot-water bottles warm beds at night.
The cozy garden rooms, recently renovated, are purposely tucked away in charming areas throughout the gardens. Each guest room is uniquely designed and decorated and is named for the Andean medicinal plant that grows at its doorstep.

I really enjoyed Ayu's morning meditation. I found that it grounded me before the writing process began. I enjoyed everyone's company and the sharing about what we all confront in academia. The conversations were important for me. … I left the retreat with great inspiration and motivation for the summer and the coming academic year.
I liked the safe space created by the facilitators and willingness to trust by the participants. I appreciated everyone's openness to share their experiences and honest advice.
Thank you so much Ayu and Tanya for making this incredible retreat happen. It was a fantastic experience and you worked so hard on the logistics, everything ran so smoothly. Also, it was fruitful academically, we got two new manuscripts out of it and lots of motivation and insights.
I loved the camaraderie. Writing can be a lonely activity. I appreciated the opportunity to spend time in such a beautiful space with other scholars and support each other in our writing goals.
I really liked the dedicated writing time, feedback sessions, and all of the relationship building. I loved siting down at a dedicated time to write WITH others. And I really liked the nature experience.
I loved making connections and community with the women/scholars here. ... It was validating in so many ways.
Thank you to the organizers. I am extremely grateful to have had this experience. It's not like anything else I've ever experienced and I learned and grew immensely thanks to this experience.
THANK YOU! This was by far the best thing I've ever done in my professional career. I feel honored and excited and grateful to be a part of something so astoundingly beautiful.


You know how some financial institutions which work with your bank account make small deposits into your checking account to verify that you are the owner of that account? You sign up for an account (such as Paypal) and they make a couple small deposits (usually less than a 25 cents each) of varying amounts into your checking account. You then have to verify the amount of money they deposited into the account in order to complete the sign-up process.
Turns out this guy allegedly cobbled a script or two together which opened thousands of accounts at eTrade and others institutions which follow the same verification process. He made about $50k in six months before the secret service caught up to him.

Q: validation for Time HH:MM am or pm Format using regular expression I am working on web application using asp.net with vb code.
I have a textbox for time field for which i am using regular expression validator.
the format i want is HH:MM am. the regular expression i am using is "(0[1-9]|[1][0-2])[:]" + "(0[0-9]|[1-5][0-9])[ ][A|a|P|p][M|m]"
i am entering the time example: 08:30 AM or 08:30 PM but the regular expression is showing error message.
Can anyone help me with correct regular expression.
thankyou all in advance
shubha

A: Use RegularExpressionValidator and below ValidationExpression. I have used that.
ValidationExpression="^(1[0-2]|0[1-9]):[0-5][0-9]\040(AM|am|PM|pm)$"

A: You don't need to use regular expressions, use DateTime.TryParse or DateTime.TryParseExact instead. I recommend using the regular TryParse method because it affords your visitors flexibility in their formats (e.g. some visitors might want to use the 24-hour system, whereas others can use the 12-hour system).
String input;
DateTime dt;
if( !DateTime.TryParse( input, CultureInfo.InvariantCulture /* change if appropriate */, DateTimeStyles.None, out dt ) ) {
    // show error message
}

Now as you're using a validator, you'll want to wrap up this logic in a Validator subclass, but it's really easy:
public class DateTimeValidator : BaseValidator {

    protected override bool EvaluateIsValid() {

        String controlValidationValue = base.GetControlValidationValue(base.ControlToValidate);
        if( String.IsNullOrEmpty( controlValidationValue ) ) return true;

        DateTime dt;
        return DateTime.TryParse( input, CultureInfo.InvariantCulture /* change if appropriate */, DateTimeStyles.None, out dt );
    }
}

Then (assuming you've registered a tag-prefix in web.config) all you need to do is this:
<label>
    Enter a valid date/time value.
    <input type="text" runat="server" id="someDate" />
    <myprefix:DateTimeValidator runat="server" controlToValidate="someDate" />
</label>

You will need a separate <asp:RequiredFieldValidator> if you want the field to be required.
