If you have heard about a tracker that can help you pursue your fitness goal and make you live better, this article is the right destination for you. There are numerous reasons why people should own a fitness tracker that both suit their fitness purpose and, of course, their budget. Fitness trackers is penetrating into the worldwide market with various styles and colors. However, the quality and functions of a tracker determine which one is best suit for you. Here are the main 5 reasons why fitness tracker is so popular and why you are advised to get one.
The meaningful message of a fitness tracker is more than just a gadget itself, it is a fitness buddy or a strict mentor. Generally, the main functions of a tracker include its standard of measurement and motivation. All your activities come in to visual under the form of information. The ultimate data reflects your effort during your workout routine, which later helps you set more fitness goals. Seeing your improvement provides a great sense of accomplishment and that is the main ingredient if you would like to continue your fitness journey.

Setting a personal fitness goal is much the same as drawing a map to go through a forest. Clarity and detailed orientation are top priorities when it comes to any fitness goal. At the initial stage, jot down what your purpose is when you buy a tracker, for losing weight, stepping more, tracking sleep or just simply being more active. This means a lot before you buy your own tracker. Many fitness trackers, namely Fitbit Ultra, Nike+, BodyMedia, etc., tracks almost everything by using accelerometers, altimeters and algorithms. The more advance the tracker is, the more sophisticated the built-in components are.
Normally, people start by setting a simple goal to count their daily steps. Some trackers automatically set your daily goal at 1,000 steps. 1000 steps is approximately 0.8 kilometers, which is equivalent to about 10 minutes of walking. Parking your vehicle at the end of the parking lot, using stairs instead of elevator or spending 5 minutes walking around the office during break time are beneficial things you can do every day. As a result, you will believe that conquering a thousand-step challenge is a piece of cake.
A fitness tracker is also good at controlling your eating habit. A healthy lifestyle needs more than just regular activity. Keeping track of the quantity and quality of your fuel helps you control your calorie absorption. You can enter your food choice and water intake to evaluate your meal on a daily basis and make any possible changes if necessary.

With this function, you can pinpoint the activities that makes you sweat much and whether you are overloaded with exercises.
On an average, a normal resting heart rate for adults ranges from 60 to 100 beats per minute. This number depends on other factors that directly affect your heart rate, including body position, emotion, medication and body size. Consult your doctor if, according to your fitness tracker, your resting heart rate is consistently above 100 beats per minute or below 60 beats per minute. These signs can be more serious if you have other simultaneous symptoms, such as fainting, fatigue, drowsiness, dizziness or short breath. You can read the article about Heart Rate Monitor Watch .

The screen is perfect for viewing underwater with adjustable lightning function. Moreover, most of them use replaceable coin battery without requiring any charging during your workout time, especially when you are swimming in long distance. Users are also pleased with the silent alarm from your tracker while swimming. It buzzes your wrist when you reach your goal of completing a certain number of laps, or to signal a certain time of a day. Then, you do not have to constantly checking your wrist to see how many laps completed. The biggest plus for this type of tracker is its competitive price in compared with other trackers operating GPS, sleep tracking or heart rate monitoring.

"The most hateful evil people I have ever seen."
The mainstream media isn't known for its objectivity in reporting on any subject, let alone what really goes on at Donald Trump rallies, which is why Tucson Police Officer Brandon Tatum decided to attend the GOP frontrunner's event in his hometown Saturday.
According to Tatum, who posted a video online detailing his experience, he went to the Trump rally with an open mind, but expecting to see more of the alleged racism and provocation from Trump and his supporters that is so often reported by media. What he found was a very different scenario.
Tatum said that from the moment he arrived at the entry-point of the rally, he and others were swarmed by Trump protesters "acting like fools" and hurling expletives, even in front of children. He said the protesters were "outlandish and out of control."
"As a police officer, I have been through dramatic situations ... [and even] I felt very uncomfortable," he said.
Tatum says he felt that, at any moment, he could be attacked by an anti-Trump protester and needed to watch his back at all times. The protesters are "the most hateful evil people I have ever seen," he added definitively.
"I could not believe it."
Tatum noted the bias in reporting on Trump rallies, as he claims that before Donald Trump even came on stage an official announcement was made to supporters instructing them specifically to not engage protesters in any way and to let law enforcement deal with disrupters. Tatum said the media has left that part out entirely.
What's more, this particular Trump rally was actually a private, paid-for event -- not open to the public -- thus giving the Trump campaign every right to remove, at any time, agitators from the premises without violating their Constitutional rights.
Tatum noted that, far from the bigoted rhetoric he'd expected to hear, Trump "did not say anything hateful or prejudiced," nor did his supporters. He said that Trump did not say anything hateful about Muslims, but did address radical Islam, immigration and border security.
"He wasn't a crazy psychopath and I was expecting him to be radical [based on how he is portrayed]," Tatum said.
Tatum said he expected Trump supporters to be aggressive toward protesters, but that he only saw two incidents unfold. The first was the "beat down" one attendee gave to a protester and the other was when an attendee balled up a protester's homemade flag laden with racist expletives and threw it over a balcony. In both incidents, the police officer noted that there was much provocation on the part of the protesters.
"They [protesters] were [yelling] in people's faces. It was crazy." He said that protesters screamed during at least 60 percent of Trumps speech, but that Trump and his supporters really did remain restrained -- far different from the perception he'd initially had of the GOP candidate and his followers and far different from the picture painted by mainstream media.
"I am an African American man. I had no problems with any [Trump supporter]," Tatum said before adding that many of the protesters were African Americans and were "acting a fool."
He said that protesters were completely unhinged, "grabbing people's legs" and "acting crazy."
Tatum believes these agitators could have caused a "full fledged riot" to break out at any moment and that, even as a police officer, he too felt unsafe at times. The police officer said he completely saw how he might need to punch a protester in self-defense.
Ultimately, Tatum said that he gained much respect for Trump and his supporters and was appalled at the way protesters were acting. "If you want to know the truth," he says, you have to "physically show up" and see for yourself.
The police officer also expressed his wish that media show images of the verbal assault Trump protesters leveled against supporters, even in front of small children whose "ears had to be covered" by parents. He says he also wishes media would show a clip of the announcement made by the campaign to Trump supporters asking them specifically to "not get involved" with the protesters.
"They [the protesters] were blocking [Trump's] freedom of speech and assembly," Tatum concluded. "This was eye opening. I did not expect the protesters to be that crazy."


"Be Still and Know That I am God" is probably one of the greatest verses in the Bible. This verse alone can help us deal with fear and anxiety. It reminds us to stop and focus on God alone. But, often in our crazy, busy, daily life we forget to practice that. We are usually more conditioned to accept the fear and anxiety as a part of our life struggles.
It has been said that Buddha did a whole silent lecture once. He merely gazed at a flower. The beauty in a flower is the same beauty we all have inside of us. It is our God nature that we can access if we become still.
Yesterday I had the privilege of driving through Yellowstone National Park. I was really lucky because I was not the one driving, I was fortunate to sit back and absorb the beauty of this great National Park. It was in the silence of the drive that I marveled how great God is and in the stillness I felt a part of the incredible beauty and nature that I saw.
The beauty was sometimes in the smallest of things. The way the sun was reflecting on a river, the different mineral colors in the mountains, or an elk quietly grazing or the perfect timing of Old Faithful geyser erupting every 90 minutes. My thoughts kept going to: Be still and know that I am God. I felt love, joy, and peace.
You can access this same feeling. One easy way is when difficulties arise, turn your thoughts to this beautiful phrase, "Be still and know that I am God." Take a pause from your problems, focus on God. God does not work with the laws of this earth, he can and does perform miracles.
Another way is to spend time in nature in silence. Like Buddha, gaze at a simple flower, or leaf or tree. Begin to connect to your deepest, beautiful inner self. By practicing in this way, it will help you to connect with your inner self the next time you are filled with fear.

What we think is what we attract into our lives. If we lived in an isolated area surrounded by the peaceful sounds and views of nature, it would probably be easier. But, most of us live complicated lives and every day we face challenges. Add to that the violence and hatred that we see in the news and trying to remaining positive and peaceful can be challenging. It is challenging, but, it is doable: try these 3 ways to stop fear the next time you feel yourself slipping.
The Law of Attraction simply put is: the thoughts, action and words we put out into the Universe, the exact thoughts, action and words will return to us. If we have fearful thoughts or thoughts of hate, we will attract more fear and negativity into our lives. They may come into our lives as a different form, but, they will come in.
Maybe you are trying to manifest abundance into your life. Guard your thoughts about abundance others have carefully. Envy or jealousy of others good fortune will not help you manifest abundance into your life. God wants us all to live opulent, joyful lives. There is plenty of abundance for everyone. If you are feeling envious of someone, try to bless them and feel happiness for them, you too deserve and can manifest the same.
It is the fear that we deal with on a daily basis that prevents us from leading happy, joyful lives. Our fears do not go away overnight; we have a life time of creating them. But, you can take charge of your thoughts and gradually pick away at them. Like a gardener weeding out a garden, you can pick out the fearful, negative habits from your mind.
Meditate or pray at least once a day. In prayer and meditation, we learn to re-program out minds and align closer to God. With God all things are possible.
Spend time in nature. Nature is very healing. We can shut out the fear, the news, and our problems if just for a short time. Even a short time, we help us connect to our Inner Self and our soul.
Do something loving for yourself. We cannot stop all the fear and hatred in the world, but, we can take steps to love ourselves and that love that you feel will go out into the world. Our bodies are made of energy and pure, positive energy will affect those around you. Instead of fear based energy, loving energy is healing. Take a long bath. Read an inspiring book.
What do you do to release fear?

One day this past week, I woke up sad. There was really no specific reason, it just was. We can have a very happy, fulfilled life, but, some day's sadness can come over us. Perhaps a friend received a diagnosis or you are concerned about a family member. The news and world events that are tragic can also bring about this feeling. Try these 3 ways to help with sadness the next time you feel that way.
If you are feeling sad, it is alright, do not feel bad about it. Try to get in touch with your feelings instead of ignoring them. These tools can help you create a shift in your thinking so you do not keep descending to a deep, dark place. By shifting our energy, we are creating space for more positive thoughts to come into our mind.
Many times we are sad over something we have no control of. When I read about a mass shooting, I am sad, but, there is nothing I can do to bring the lost lives back to life. What I can do, is create positive energy around me and that will help heal others.
1. Write down ten things you are grateful for. Even if you are struggling now, you have something to be grateful for. You are reading this article which means you woke up today and you are breathing. Try to not list the ten obvious things, go deep. Gratitude centers you in the moment and allows God's graces to flow to you.
2. Call a friend. If you are fortunate to have a buddy that lifts you up when you talk with them. Give them a call and let them know you are sad. Hopefully, they will listen non-judgmentally and give you that pick up you want. Do you have any friends like that? The kind of friend that you know will cheer you up or make you laugh. Treasure that friendship.
3. Watch an inspiring video or read an inspiring passage in a book. With the Internet, it would take only a little searching to find the perfect media to read or watch.
Remember that sadness will pass. The sun and blue sky are still behind every dark cloud.
If you enjoyed this, please consider sharing it on social media. Let's stay connected.

A worry box is a great tool for dealing with fear. Fear and worry can both be forms of prayer, but, not the type of prayer you want to draw your energy too. Sometimes we can get caught in the spiral of fear and before we know it our fear encompasses many aspects of our lives. That is why I like to have several tools to deal with fear and creating a worry box is one of my favorites.
Normally, I try to nip fear in the bud. I have had many hurdles the past several years and it has taught me to overcome and deal with fear. If we do not deal with it, we are imprinting the fear on our subconscious mind. Our subconscious mind does not judge and obeys whatever we tell it.
If we are concentrating on thoughts of worry or fear, that is exactly what we are putting in our subconscious mind. Consider the analogy of a garden, instead of growing flowers, you are planting weeds. It has been written that fear is man's greatest enemy. However, the good news is that you can control and overcome it.
The past several months, I have had many challenges. It seemed that whatever I put into motion just stopped dead in its' tracks. Lots of hard work produced nothing. It was a very frustrating time, like, I was running in place and getting nowhere. This is when worry and fear starting trying to take over. But, I was determined to deal with it and move on. The worry box is one of the tools I used.
1. Find a box you want to use. You probably already have one in your home. It could be a decorative box that is empty. Empty boxes are stagnant energy, put that box to use. Or you can use any small cardboard box and decorate it. Have some fun and let those creative juices flow.
2. Next, light a candle or some incense and say a prayer for guidance and strength. Write down your worries. I remember years ago having worry dolls. I would tell each one of them my problems and then put them in a small pouch. This is a very similar activity.
3. Cut out each "worry" and place it in your box. As you place each one, ask God to surround each of your worries with his Divine Love and Wisdom to help you work through them. Say a prayer of Gratitude that God has heard and will answer your prayers. Have trust and faith in God.
4. Close the box and leave the worries there. When you think about them or fear begins to set in, declare that God, the Universal Intelligence, is working on each and every one is perfect timing and in a perfect way.

Yesterday was a New Moon in Aries. New Moons are time for beginning new projects, new ideas and starting over. I thought this would be the perfect time to have some fun and create a new vision board. Of course, do not feel you need to wait for a New Moon to make one. It is a positive project for you to try anytime you feel inspired. Vision boards are a powerful tool for manifestation.
I have a vision board in my closet that I made several years ago. It has collected dust and has seen better days. It was interesting to note that some of my vision remained the same, but, it had recently become more fine-tuned. I turned off my phone and had such fun constructing the new vision board. I was inspired and loved my completed project. This new board is not hidden in my closet, but, in my office below my altar where I can see it every day.
1. Gather the materials: Poster board of any size, glue, scissors, markers, pastel crayons, stickers, magazines, photos albums, a happy photo of yourself, and any quotes you like.
2. Glue the photo of yourself in the center.
3. Imagine the board divided into four sections. The top left is for relationships and love. The top right is for self-expression/career. The bottom right is for prosperity/wealth. The bottom left is for health and spirituality. Of course, these are just suggestions. Divide the poster board with works best for you and this point in your life.
4. Next, start looking through magazines, photo albums, and the Internet for quotes and for pictures that inspire you and that you would like to envision in your future. Do not spend a lot of time thinking about it, follow your heart and instincts. Find lots and lots of photos, you may not use them all.
5. Place the photos on the board. Which ones tell the story of your life six months, a year, maybe several years from now? Which quotes do you want to live your life by? When you are ready begin gluing them on.
6. On my board, I could not find some of the photos or quotes I wanted and that is when the markers and pastel crayons came into use. I wrote words and drew pictures.
7. At the top of my board, I wrote, "I AM Presence, Divine Wisdom, Love, and Power." The I AM presence is God in action. I believe the God is the Universal Force that will manifest my dreams.
8. At the bottom of the board, I wrote the date.
I hope you have fun with this. Put it in an area of your home that you can see it every day for inspiration.

This is a fantastic book for helping you simplify your life by clearing your clutter. "Clear Your Clutter with Feng Shui" by Karen Kingston is a practical, easy to put in place formula for freeing yourself from physical, mental, emotional and spiritual clutter forever in a joyful way.
One entire chapter explores, "So Why Do People Keep Clutter?" I found myself nodding my head in agreement to many of the reasons: keeping things just in case, security, status, identity, inherited clutteritis or belief that more is better.
The author interjects stories from her clients and many are hilarious, but, hilarious also in the way we can probably relate. For example, your "duck" collection might have begun with a co-worker giving you a gift and before you know it, your entire home is filled with ducks.
The chapter on the Feng Shui Bagua is very easy to understand. In fact, I have read many books on Feng Shui and this is the first time I understood it. There are illustrations to help you map out your Bagua.
It is no surprise that earlier editions of this book sold over one million copies. Personally, I felt my home was pretty clutter free, but, I have a list of projects that I cannot wait to start. Freeing up space and energy will be fantastic.

Unscrupulous Debt Collectors Are Seniors' Top Financial Peeve
Nov 6th 2014 12:33PM

When it comes to financial shenanigans, the top targets of senior citizens' complaints in this country are debt collectors, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau reported Wednesday. Seniors commonly report being hounded and threatened by debt collectors -- and about half of those reported incidents involved debts they didn't incur. From July 2013 through September of this year, the agency received 25,000 complaints from older consumers, and more than a third were about debt collection.
"It is increasingly common for older Americans to carry debts into their retirement years, and consumers living on fixed incomes often struggle to pay off these debts," CFPB Director Richard Cordray said. "Older Americans deserve to be treated with the respect they have earned."
Debt collection is a huge industry in the U.S. Nearly 5,000 companies collect debts, and about 30 million consumers have debt that is subject to collection, the CFPB said.
Making Them Pay
Federal law prescribes what debt collectors can -- and cannot -- do. Collectors can only call during certain hours, and they can't just say whatever they feel like to coerce you into paying. Harassing consumers, chasing after family members of those in debt (or family members of deceased debtors) and threatening arrest or garnishment of federal benefits all cross the line. The Federal Trade Commission offers a guide to the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.
If a debt collector violates the terms of the Act, you can sue them and collect up to $1,000. In addition, class-action lawsuits are regularly filed against collectors who are accused of violating the law. Such lawsuits can result in up to $500,000 in penalties. While such lawsuits -- even when won by the plaintiffs -- won't result in the erasing of people's debts, they can help ease some of the burden, and hold unscrupulous collectors responsible for their actions.
If you're dealing with a debt collector whom you believe has crossed the line, you can report them to your state Attorney General's office, the Federal Trade Commission, and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.

This test depends on the presence of cytochrome oxidase in bacteria that will catalyze the transport of electrons between electron donors and redox dye. Tetramethyl-p-phenylene diamine dihydrochloride in the reagent is reduced to deep purple color. This test is used for the screening of Pseudomonas, Vibrio, Neisseria, Brucella and Pasteurella, which give positive test. Enterobacteriaceae are oxidase negative.
Oxidase reagent is specially prepared as 10g/l or 1% solution of tetramethyl-p-phenylene diamine dihydrochloride.
Place a piece of filter paper in petri dish and add 3 drops of freshly prepared oxidase reagent. Using a sterile glass rod, remove a colony of test organisms from a culture plate and smear it on the filter paper.
Oxidase positive organisms give blue color within 5-10 seconds, and in oxidase negative organisms, color does not change.


When I browse the local file system, the browser downloads files already on my Jolla to the downloads directory. This is a neat way to duplicate files but unfortunately not what I need the browser to do. Please enable me to make local files open the program linked to their mimetype, like PDFs in the Document viewer (when it has been installed).
To this and other user-configurable ends, please let me filter webpages by regular expression so instead of getting the whole about:config pages (which involves metres of swishy hand movements to navigate), for example, I can get to where I need, assuming I know what to look for.
This could be implemented as s:/*/ uri to search text and attributes, s:/*/sub/ uri to do substitution, and x:/*/ uri to search the markup tagnames as well (the whole content). This could run sed by link on the uri (local or net) and display the result.
So what is it you need to do? You know that there are file managers to browse disks content, do you? E.g. for Jolla, there is "File Browser" in the store, give it a try!
There is in-page text search in the browser after the last update. It works for visible words (the) but not source text (<p>) and not regular expressions (/the/).

Mumbai: Pro-Jallikattu protesters slam PETA
09:46 AM May 30, 2019 | Free Press Journal Correspondant
Mumbai: A group of around 150 protesters gathered at Azad Maidan on Sunday in order to protest against the ban on Jallikattu, a traditional bull-taming sport. The protesters primarily demanded amendment of Section 27 of the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act 1960, to include Jallikattu bulls in the category of trained animals used in the military, police, exhibitions, zoos or for educational and scientific purposes.
The protesters also said that People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) is a foreign-based organisation and knows nothing about their traditional culture. They said, "PETA is a Virginia, United States-Based organisation and therefore, should not intervene in our traditions. They are misleading the urban population by saving a stray dog and clicking pictures in order to show their concern towards animals. They are completely unaware about our way of nurturing the bulls. They have never visited out cattle sheds, so how can they comment on our sport."
Rahul Bankar, one of the protesters at Azad, said, "How can people from different countries understand our culture and therefore, would only comment negative about it. Organisations like PETA receive funds in crores. The government should probe into the details in their expenditure of funds. They are fooling the urban dwellers by displaying fake concern towards animals. They don't know anything about Jallikattu."
It has to be noted that the Centre on Friday approved an ordinance to revive Jallikattu but a final verdict is yet to come.

Egypt's Revolution: Coming to an Economy Near You

Umair Haque
It was a society in stagnation, if not decline. Despite ostensible stability, its people — especially its young people — faced a future bleaker than the dark side of Pluto. For decades, the richest grew even richer, as national debt mounted, middle-class people tried to make ends meet, and upward mobility fell. Government failed to address these problems, and the governed felt increasingly disenfranchised — and partisan. Mass unemployment metastasized from a temporary illness to a chronic condition. One of its major cities decided to erect a permanent tent city, for a permanently excluded, marginalized underclass.
This isn't Tunisia, or Egypt — but America. Yes, in many ways Egypt and America couldn't be more different. But the broad contours are just a little too similar for comfort.
Consider a tweet that made the rounds this weekend. "Youth unemployment: #Yemen 49%, #Palestine 38%, #Morocco 35%, #Egypt 33%, #Tunisia 26%". It sounds staggering. But youth unemployment rates are 20-40% across Europe. And in the USA, estimates range from 20-50% depending on how you count, and when. Egypt's youth unemployment crisis — which many seemed to think on Twitter was merely an Arab problem (oh, those Arabs!) is, in point of fact, a global one.
What we're watching is a massive malfunctioning of the global economy. At the root of the problem: dumb growth. Dumb growth is, in many ways, bogus — rather than reflecting enduring wealth creation, it largely reflects the transfer of wealth: from the poor to the rich, the young to the old, tomorrow to today, and human beings to corporate "people." Dumb growth is growth without prosperity. And it's far from an Egyptian problem.
Lane Kenworthy has recently called America's version of it "the Great Decoupling." In the US, net worth, median income, job creation, happiness — all have been flat for a decade (plus). Other measures of prosperity, which I'd argue matter more, haven't just flatlined, they've cratered: polls show that trust, connection, stability, social mobility, are all down. The problem of dumb, empty "growth" is global.
And my hunch is that it's going to get worse, before it gets better. Consider the food, commodity, and energy price spikes likely to sweep the globe this year. Consider the costs of climate disruption. If it's bad for a family whose breadwinner is unemployed in the States, how bad is it for the more than three billion people — that's more than half the world, folks — living on less than $2 a day?
How do we fix it? In his new book, Tyler Cowen argues that the problem is that that we've eaten all the "low-hanging fruit," — that there's not a great enough quantity of innovation. That's a sharp insight, but I'd argue (in my own new book) that the problem's slightly different: not a high enough quality of innovation. The challenge now is leaping to a higher order of innovation: institutional innovation, because it's institutions that set the incentives that mold and shape human achievement in the first place.
And for far too many people, yesterday's economic institutions are literally not delivering the goods. Yes, the tools of capitalism have lifted entire nations out of poverty. But for decades, real prosperity has been flat. Now, at a macroeconomic level, our current economic institutions simply transfer prosperity upwards, to the richest 10% –> 1% –> 0.1% –> 0.01% and so on. This is what I call a global "ponziconomy" — a titanic, gleaming whirling, wealth transfer machine. And we can't fix it with the same tools we used to build it. That's why it's never been more vital for us — we, the people — to challenge the institutions of yesteryear.
All of which brings me back to Egypt as the canary in a very large coal mine. It's hard to overstate just how unexpected a transformation is occurring in Egypt. Death, taxes, and Hosni Mubarak — they were the three great certainties in modern Egyptian life.
But just underneath the surface, the tectonic pressure of dumb growth was steadily mounting. Bogus prosperity's like magma, filling the volcanic chamber of a society: you can bottle it up for only so long before it erupts, and spectacularly. Today, the world's gaze is fixed on the pyroclastic flow: never-ending demonstrations, protests, people self-organizing in a state that has shut down the internet, mobile networks, and public transport. But the fault lines underneath this explosion were laid down decades ago — and they might just run across the globe.
The lesson: You can't steal the future forever — and, in a hyperconnected world, you probably can't steal as much of it for as long.
Now, I don't think Americans will take to the streets to oust their government. The challenge of the democratic, developed world is a quieter rebellion: against a bankruptcy not just of the pocketbook, but of meaning. It's not to take a stand against a dictator, but to take a stand against an unenlightened, nihilistic, hyperconsumerist, soul-suckingly unfulfilling, lethally short-termist ethos that inflicts real and relentless damage on people, society, the natural world, and future generations.
If we want to deliver the goods — enduring, meaningful stuff that engenders real prosperity — we're probably going to have start with delivering them to one another. Our untrammeled path back to prosperity — should we choose to blaze it — is millions of personal revolutions made up of billions of tiny choices that reclaim our humanity from the heartless merchants of indifference, fear, anger, and vanity.
Some say it's impossible. Me? I believe that in a world of bogus prosperity, what's impossible is for the status quo to stand.

Glastonbury 2012: UNITY
An Avalon Anthem
This song is a collective effort by several people and we offer it in the spirit of uniting our hearts and voices, sharing and celebrating together the healing, love, beauty and belonging of our very own special Glastonbury community.
The development of the Anthem. . .
The inspiration behind the Anthem was to create a community song that reflected the beauty and spirituality of Glastonbury, a song that could serve to bring our community together. A song through which we can all express the many gifts we can offer to the world and brings us all together in our community activities, our festivals, our schools and in our everyday lives.
Dr Lynne Sedgmore CBE has been coming to Glastonbury as a pilgrim since 1989, got married here in 1994 and moved here in 2010. So when Morgana West, co-founder and manager at Glastonbury Pilgrim Reception, had a powerful dream about creating a new song for Glastonbury and asked her to produce the lyrics, she felt deeply called to do so.
Both Morgana and Ananda O'Kelly helped to further develop the words. The music took longer via a classical version, then a guitar version until its culmination into a beautiful choral score written by Sally Pullinger for the Avalonian Free State Choir.
Sticks in a bundle are unbreakable
By Morgana West
Currently in the process of exploring the setting up of a Glastonbury Cooperation Circle, affiliated with the United Religions Initiative, I was delighted to once again visit Ammerdown Centre, a Christian retreat and conference centre near Bath; my purpose to meet with individuals who are very active in bridge-building work. The visit has personally inspired me to further our work that celebrates the Unity that can be found within Diversity, right here in Glastonbury. The last time I was at Ammerdown was in February to participate in Celebrating Planet Earth where Leaders, Founders, Writers, Movers & Shakers within the Christian and Pagan communities had been invited by Ammerdown to join together and converse with the intention of building bridges between differences, in celebration of their common love of the Earth. I was delighted to once again be heading to a venue whose work has gained an international reputation.
Since 2007, our own Centre has been supporting and welcoming people of diverse beliefs to Glastonbury and it is now recognised that there are more than seventy spiritual paths upheld in this small, but interesting, market town in the south-west of England. It has long been a personal dream of mine to be able to create a neutral but sacred indoor environment, not affiliated to any one belief; a space in which people could share their own spiritual understandings and religious beliefs in an atmosphere that gives honour and respect to the diversity in the world around us. This concept became a reality in 2014 with the development of the Sanctuary. The support and encouragement we have received since the opening of this space within our Centre has been more than we dared have hoped for.
The Unity Bowl at our Unity event in 2012
Our work also involves taking things one step further by pro-actively encouraging and supporting people of good heart and intention on their own path through life. Most of us know only too well that there is widespread agreement in that bridge building can be successful in helping to reduce prejudice and hostility between different groups, propelling people into living peacefully alongside each other. In a community such as Glastonbury, where diversity is both flourishing and glaringly apparent, many of our visitors often remark on the kindness and love that is, at times, quite palpable. As expected though, where harmony and love is shining a very bright light, discord and hate can be found in equal measure. After all, as human-beings, full of complex contradictions going about our human-doings, we often find ourselves facing the challenge of a need to become consciously aware of where we are placing our focus and of how our actions might be contributing to the 'whole'. The legend of the Holy Grail has a high profile here, believed by many to have been hidden in Glastonbury, it's predecessor in the stories, the Cauldron of Ceridwen. Many come in search of its 'truths' and it is a well-known 'secret' that the 'hiding place' is within each and everyone of us, we are the Grail, we ourselves are the Cauldron. It is our own thoughts, and deeds that allow the Light to shine forth out of our own vessels and it is of our own actions we are reminded to frequently ask the question;
"Whom does the Grail serve?".
Unity Candle & Town Council
Recognised as being open to all paths, Glastonbury Reception Centre has been described as a 'living bridge' that connects across secular and spiritual communities and spreading a harmonious message is, we feel, an important part of our role. Support, understanding and acceptance of those of good intent, regardless of faith or spiritual beliefs (or those with none) underpins all our work. Building bridges between diverse beliefs is at our core; our aim to show how we can acknowledge and respect each other, even if we don't necessarily agree.
Our Centre has an ethos of Unity through Diversity but this is not to suggest we feel all faiths and paths are the same, or that they should be. It is an expression which has been in use for thousands of years and in essence, can be seen to imply the working together of all aspects of a community without losing the special personality and beliefs of the individual projects and people involved and we acknowledge that diverse beliefs and practices can present complex and difficult challenges creating chasms that often-times are difficult to bridge. However, rather than focus on the discordant differences, our own goals are to create 'spaces' where tolerance, understanding and co-existence can be found, demonstrating how together, we can live well, whilst remaining different. Sticks in a bundle are unbreakable. So says the inspirational Kenyan proverb extolling the power of Unity.
It is with this in mind that I am in the process of developing a Cooperation Circle, (CC), affiliated with the United Religions Initiative (URI). The URI is a global grassroots interfaith network that cultivates peace and justice by engaging people to bridge religious and cultural differences and work together for the good of their communities and the world. Cooperation Circles (CCs) are the heart of URI. They are independently organised, self-governing and self-funding and I think it is fairly safe to say that our own organisation fits within the remits. You can find out more about URI and CC's at the bottom of this post.
A weekend that was heralding the autumnal chills, once again saw me heading towards Ammerdown Centre , my purpose to meet with Karimah Stauch, the European Coordinator of URI.
Unity Candle at the Harvest Show
Autumn is a time of harvest and celebratory occasions, not only of that which the land has given us but also a period in which we are offered the opportunity to consider and 'gather in' all that we have sown and nurtured throughout the year within our own lives and the positive differences we might have brought to the world around us. It is also a time of endings. The sagacious ones amongst us will be thinking also of the necessary new seeds that need reaping and nurturing over the winter months, until the ground is once again ready to bring to fruition the bounty necessary for our ongoing nourishment.
My journey towards my destination takes me through fields and woodland and, whilst the radio informed me of a whole village of killings and the women and children kidnapped in Northern Iraq, my sadness, already profound over the atrocities that humans can perform on one another, deepened further in the autumnal energies. I thought about the tortures that will be inflicted onto those souls until they convert from their own religious beliefs. As I drew closer, reflecting on my own work in the name of harmony and peace and all that might have been 'harvested' in its name this year, thoughts of pointlessness and hopelessness, like the autumnal mists that settle over the low-lands of Somerset and cloud our ability to see into the distance, whispered despondency into my spirit.
Karimah Stauch and Morgana West
Ammerdown is a remarkable place in a beautiful setting, nestling in woods next to a Stately Home, surrounded by beautiful landscaped gardens and parkland and I have been fortunate to have visited on a few occasions. As my speed slows to the required five mph on the long driveway, its soothing calmness sweeps over me. Since opening in 1973, it has developed into an internationally respected centre with a special focus on interfaith dialogue, peace and reconciliation. Karimah, the person I was here to meet, had arrived, along with others, in a very packed minibus in order to participate in Three Faiths Encounter, an event where, for the past twenty-five years, people of Jewish, Islamic and Christian faiths have converged to talk, share, discover each other's worship and learn from each other. Their theme this year, 'Who Is My Neighbour?' brought regret that this was not my reason for being there.
Sheik Bashir, the Unity Candle and Morgana
Karimah was attending, not only under the mantle of her own faith, but also in her role as URI Coordinator along with two other URI CCs: The German Muslim-League Bonn CC and URI Germany CC. I was very appreciative that she had been willing to take some time out to chat with me about the organisation and allow me the opportunity to bring to her an awareness of some of our own work here in Glastonbury. Her welcome was heart-warming and my instincts have nudged me to say that our paths will once again cross in the future. Others attending the conference were also willing to take time out and chat with me. Rabbi Michael Hilton, a Reform rabbi of Kol Chai Hatch End Jewish Community and writer, author of 'The Christian Effect on Jewish Life', Sheikh Bashir Dultz, the spiritual leader of the German Muslim-League and co-founder of global URI and its branches and Peace Ambassador Tatomir Ion-Marius, World Peace Prayer Society representative, all re-stoked the fire beneath me, evaporating the mists of earlier and encouraged me to forge ahead in creating the Cooperation Circle.
Before I left, I gifted a Glastonbury Unity Candle to Karima; this will return to Germany with her where it will be used in URI events. In return I was given a poster that reminds us of the Golden Rule, the ethic of reciprocity in that we should treat others as we would like others to treat us. The words on the poster are the maxims from many different beliefs around the world that reflect the Golden Rule, so known since the 1600's. However, the concept itself pre-dates it and can be found as far back as early Confucianism. (551–479 BC)

All over the world people of different beliefs tear each other apart with words and actions and no matter how great or small our peace work is as individuals, together we contribute towards greater understanding; in turn leading us closer towards reconciliation. Peace/bridge building between diverse beliefs and ideas has most likely been around since the third human joined the first two and my words here are nothing new, having been said by many before me. However, if our Centre and Sanctuary can become a circle of cooperation and our own work offer just one drop of nourishing water into an ocean of humanity then, no matter how hopeless or how pointless it sometimes seems to us as single individuals, together, we offer a considerable contribution into the seas of Harmony and Understanding. No matter how insignificant, as individuals, we belief our efforts to be, together we can be strong. Sticks in a bundle are unbreakable.

Since 2007, the Pilgrim Reception Centre, a not-for-profit organisation, has been supporting and welcoming people to Glastonbury. Recognised
as being open to all paths, we have been described as a 'living bridge' that connects across the spiritual and secular communities; we feel that spreading a harmonious message is an important part of our role and we are constantly looking at new ways of responding to the positive flow of energy.
As you might be aware, we recently launched an appeal. Our working model and the difficult economic climate had taken us to a point of no longer being able to continue. Our imminent closure in April pushed us into exploring alternative ways of operating; on a spiritual journey, this period is often described as a 'dark night of the soul'.
The PRC has been an organic organisation since its conception and our work over the last few years has taken us beyond the originally envisaged purposes. As in any spiritual journey, life for the PRC and all those involved with it, has been a voyage of discovery, adventure and challenge.
With this in mind, responding to the energies around us and the recognition
of our organisation as being a place that supports all those on a spiritual journey, we feel now is the time in which to create a space that offers not only practical support and information but also a special place created not from any one faith or religion and where real spiritual encounter might also be experienced.
We had only a short window of time in which to present the idea, launch the appeal and gauge reaction but the responses and the comments have been very heartening indeed. The vibrant flow of new and supportive, pro-active energy means we feel confident enough to move into the future. Our warm thanks are extended to all those who have encouraged and inspired us onwards.
We shall now continue the process of transformation by creating within our premises a special sanctuary space that is not affiliated to any one belief and where Glastonbury residents, pilgrims and visitors can relax in a gentle atmosphere that celebrates and inspires our Unity through Diversity. The services we have previously offered to our visitors and residents – information, support and the opportunity to share experiences - will all continue. We have listened to all the feedback being offered to us and have responded to as much as we can within our resources.
Thank you to all our wonderful volunteers and to those who have supported us this far with your support over the years. Without you, none of this would have been possible.
We do need your financial
support to keep our Centre open
through these difficult economic challenges.
If our work has supported you and you would like to support us in return, please consider a donation.
Ammerdown Conversation 'Celebrating Planet Earth'
Photo: Bruce Stanley
Glastonbury Pilgrim Reception Centre Manager and Co-founder Morgana West (sixth from right, front row) spent the weekend of Imbolc (31st Jan - 2nd Feb) at Ammerdown, a beautiful Christian Retreat and Conference Centre near Bath and open to people of all faiths and none with a special emphasis on dialogue, reconciliation and renewal.
Writers, Leaders, Founders and Movers & Shakers within the Christian and Pagan communities had been invited by Ammerdown to join together and converse with the intention of building bridges between differences in celebration of their common love of the Earth.
Morgana says;
"Myths on both sides were explored and dispelled, insights were made and new-found respect and understanding blossomed. Warm friendships were forged out of the common bonding; new relationships were developed."
"Imbolc belongs both to the Goddess and to St Brigid. I have always felt that Brid's evolution from Goddess to Saint linked Pagan and Christian traditions in the same way as the Cauldron of Cerridwen and the Holy Grail were combined in Arthurian legend and that she acts as a bridge between the two worlds; successfully making the transition back to Goddess again for many people and with most of Her traditions retained."
"To attend this historic event, especially at Imbolc, has been an honour. It was pure nourishment for my soul, unique in that it was something that could ONLY be done by Christians AND Pagans. At the simple closing ceremony in the chapel we gathered around the Brid/Brigid altar. I offered up a prayer asking that after we had all parted and returned to our own worlds, Brid's light might shine brightly from within us all encouraging harmony, understanding and tolerance between people of all faiths and beliefs."

The Best Bidets With Dryers [4 Powerful Options]
Virtually all mid-range to high-end bidets come with built-in air dryers. There are several benefits to this, but the main one is that you (in theory) no longer need to wipe yourself dry. But which bidets are the best bidets with dryers?
However, I'm going to be totally honest from the outset here and say that, by design, warm air dryers on bidets are gentle.
It's commonplace for them to take up to 4 minutes to dry you fully. But that doesn't mean there aren't good options out there that also come with a whole host of other exciting features.
So, what bidet has the best warm air dryer? The best bidet with a dryer is the Toto s550e. It's a high-end bidet featuring a self-sterilizing spray wand, an air deodorizer, and a dryer. The dryer blows air at a rate of 10.24 ft3/min and heats up to a maximum of 140 degrees.
Toto Washlet S550e
This is a high-end bidet that has a top-notch dryer and an automatic opening and closing lid.
Toto Washlet K300
The Toto K300 is one of the best value for money bidets you can buy, and it has a powerful dryer.
Bio Bidet BB600
The BioBidets dryer offers 5 temperature settings from room temperature up to 140 degrees.
Best Bidets With Dryers
The bidets I have chosen to highlight here are all-round great bidets that include a dryer.
As I said above, no dryer is going to blow you away. But if a dryer is important to you, these are the best options.
TOTO washlets are well-built, high-quality bidets, and the s550e is the most luxurious one in the range.
It comes with a whole host of features, including a nightlight, an automatic opening and closing lid, and eWater+. eWater+ is electrolyzed water that's a proven disinfectant. It's what TOTO uses to clean the spray wands and toilet bowl – meaning you don't have to.
If you're after the best bidet money can buy – go for the Toto S550e. And as you'd expect from such a highly rated bidet, it has a top-notch dryer.
The dryer has 5 temperature options to pick from, ranging from 95 – 140 ºF, and blows out air at a rate of 10.24 ft3/min (the best I've seen for a bidet).
This should be enough to dry you in around a minute and a half at the higher temperatures.
If you prefer the cooler temperature, the process might take two to three minutes, which is still a very good time for bidet drying.
The mid-range TOTO options (C100 and C200) have a less powerful dryer. They have a lower airflow volume of 9.53ft3 /min. Therefore, if you're after a powerful dryer, it's best to skip these models.
Toto K300
If you're on a lower budget, take a look at the Toto K300, which I think offers excellent value for money.
The K300 is the newest offering from TOTO and so comes with the same powerful dryer as the more expensive s550e.
It has the same airflow of 10.24 ft3/min and the same temperature range of 95-140. There is one difference and that's that there are only 3 temperature setting options rather than 5.
The K300 also shares many other features with the Toto s550e such as tankless water heating, a wide front cleanse, and energy time-saving.
For a more in-depth comparison between the S550e and the K300 take a look at my guide to Toto washlets.
The BioBidet 600 is an entry-level bidet that comes with an air dryer. It has dual motor-powered nozzles, which allow for precise positioning. And you can pick from a range of modes, including oscillating, massage, kids, and auto mode.
The motor infuses air bubbles into the water spray. This means less water is used, but you still get the same great cleansing effect.
The dryer in the BB-600 runs at 250 watts and has 5 temperature settings ranging from room temperature up to 140 degrees, the same as the TOTO washlets.
Compare this to the dryers on the higher-end BioBidet models, the BB-1000 and the BB-2000, which also run at 250 watts but only heat up to a maximum of 113 degrees.
The warmer air on the BB600 means faster drying times. The BB600 will get you dry in around 2-3 minutes on the warmest water setting, while the BB1000 and the BB2000 will take slightly longer.
The BB600 dryer has two speed settings. Make sure you're running the dryer on the highest speed setting for maximum power. The dryer will run for a total of 3 minutes, which should be enough to get to 99% dry.
Another entry-level bidet worth looking at is the Smart Bidet 1000. It also has a 250W dryer with 5 temperature settings. But the maximum temperature is slightly lower at 131 degrees.
One defining feature of the Smart Bidet is that it has a remote control rather than a side panel.
Brondell Swash 1400
The Brondell Swash 1400 is a great candidate for the best bidets with dryers because it has a warm dryer.
The seat has two stainless steel nozzles with 7 different positions and a wide spray setting. The wide spray is perfect for any females using the bidet. The nozzles are sterilized after each use with nanotechnology.
The Swash 1400 is tankless, so the water is heated as and when needed. This is much more energy-efficient than having a constantly heated reservoir, which means more energy is available to power the dryer.
The dryer isn't as strong as the options above, but because the bidet is jam-packed with other features I still wanted to include it. When I tested the dryer out, it took over 3 minutes to sufficiently dry me.
It's pretty hard to find good information about a bidets dryer's actual strength, but I've scoured the internet and contacted the manufacturers directly to find out what is available.
I reached out to several bidet companies to see if they could give me any more information, and while most of them couldn't they did comment that their bidets are, by design, gentle.
A BioBidet representative told me:
"The dryers are not designed to provide complete drying, they are to assist in using less toilet paper than usual."

Why aren't bidets dryers more powerful?
Many people are left feeling disappointed by their bidet dryers because they expect them to be more powerful. Which can make it tough to know which are the best bidets with dryers.
The dryers we're used to, such as hair and hand dryers, use much more energy than a bidet dryer.
So why are bidet dryers weaker than other types of dryers? There are two things at play here.
The first is which body part the bidet is drying.
Bidets dry a very sensitive area
A hand dryer is for our hands, while a bidet dryer is for a much more sensitive area. A wide range of people use bidets including postpartum mums and also people who've just had surgery meaning they're even more sensitive than normal down there.
The bidet manufacturers need to take this into account when they're designing the features, and if they made the dryer too powerful there's a risk that it could hurt or burn some users. That's the last thing anyone wants.
The second consideration is where the air dryer is pointing.
A powerful air stream air could lead to germs circulating in your bathroom
As the bidet dryer is in such close proximity to excrement and other nasties inside the toilet, consideration needs to be taken to ensure that any germs aren't accidentally spread through its operation.
A study by David L. Johnson showed that even the simple act of flushing the toilet can cause germs to be released.
To avoid this, manufacturers avoid super powerful dryers. They'll still dry you but will take a matter of minutes rather than seconds.
A representative from Alpha Bidet told me this:
"I apologize but unfortunately I do not have that detailed information regarding the warm air dryers.
Although what I can say is, by design, warm air dryers are gentle.
A study recently published shows that the simple act of flushing your toilet releases micro bacteria into your restroom's atmosphere.
Because of this it's typical for warm air dryers to take up to 4min to dry.
Even a high end $1000+ TOTO will take up to 1.5min to fully dry."
Alpha Bidet Representative
Do bidet dryers work for women?
Most bidets these days are designed with women in mind in the fact that they come with front and rear nozzles that work well for both men and women. Unfortunately, this technology has yet to make it to the dryers.
Bidet dryers are located at the back of the bidet and aim themselves towards your bottom. Since the flow rate is quite weak, most of the air doesn't make it to the front. Hopefully, this will change in the future. But for now, the women amongst us will have to stick to (eco-friendly) toilet paper.

SpaceX Sends Dragon Crew Capsule to Space Station and Back [Video]
Rich MitchellMarch 1, 2019
The ability for the United States to send its astronauts into space ended with the shuttle program in 2011, but SpaceX, in partnership with NASA, will be one step away from fixing that on Saturday.
More than seven years after Shuttle Atlantis completed the program's last mission, America has a new way to transport humans to the International Space Station: the SpaceX Crew Dragon Capsule which is set to launch from Kennedy Space Center's historic Launch Complex 39A on Saturday at 2:49 a.m. EST on a Falcon 9 rocket.
The mission will send the capsule into orbit so that it can continue on to the International Space Station where it will autonomously dock and deliver supplies to the crew. On March 8, the capsule will undock from the station and return to Earth, splashing down in the Atlantic Ocean where it will be recovered.
Take a look: NASA inside view of the SpaceX Crew Dragon Capsule
"It's time to fly the SpaceX Demo-1 mission," said Steve Stich, NASA launch manager and deputy manager of NASA's Commercial Crew Program. "This mission is an important step in returning human spaceflight to American soil.
Since the demise of the Shuttle program, American astronauts have had to ride on Russian Soyuz rockets to get to the Space Station, but NASA has enlisted the help of SpaceX and Boeing to create U.S. systems to alleviate that dependency. SpaceX plans to launch another Crew Dragon later this year with crew aboard. It could mark the first U.S. manned orbital spaceflight since former President Obama ended the shuttle program.
Meteorologists with the U.S. Air Force's 45th Weather Squadron continue to predict an 80 percent chance of favorable weather for launch on Saturday morning, with the possibility of thick clouds or cumulus clouds posing the main concern. Should the weather prevent the Saturday launch, a backup instantaneous launch opportunity is available on Tuesday, March 5 at 1:38 a.m. EST.
SpaceX will attempt to land Falcon 9's first stage on the "Of Course I Still Love You" drone-ship, which will be stationed in the Atlantic Ocean.
The capsule will carry 400 pounds of crew supplies and equipment to the Space Station along with testing equipment and a test dummy, Named Ripley after main character Ellen Ripley in Alien, wearing a SpaceX space suit.

"Crew Dragon, designed from the beginning to be one of the safest human space vehicles ever built, benefits from the flight heritage of the current iteration of Dragon, which restored the United States' capability to deliver and return significant amounts of cargo to and from the International Space Station," SpaceX posted on its website. "Dragon has completed 16 missions to and from the orbiting laboratory."

This is may seem plainly obvious, but often business owners will hire telemarketers that they can "train" or teach skills to. We see this often spike in the summer where students are looking for summer jobs, for example. It is difficult to motivate and inspire people who aren't naturally outbound dialers AND salespeople who LOVE working for your company and what you stand for.
Take our word for it: spend the extra time to find the eager, ambitious candidate who will make the right calls on your behalf.
This will not only ensure a better success rate but also have keep your callers motivated to do a better job. Often, we see notes on our prospect updates that state "wrong person", or "different industry" or "not the decision-maker, won't pass me the information to the right person". If this repeatedly occurs, you are wasting time (and money), your caller's morale is sliding, and your results are getting compromised.
Make the investment: get a list-broker or take the effort to clean your in-house list BEFORE you reach out to your clients to make offers and sell your company's services. It's a little more expensive, but well worth it in the long run.
There is a HUGE difference between "imagining" how a call will go versus actually how a call will run. Make 10-15 calls to get a good sound idea of the direction a call takes. Typically, things will fall into a pattern that you can easily script once you've attained the knowledge. Also, you can be a better call manager (and fact-checker) with your callers if you do this.
Take the time: make the calls and take out the guess-work of what and how your callers should be speaking about with your valuable prospects.
How often have you tried to have a conversation with a caller who is clearly following the script. Constantly remind them to listen while they are conversing with the client. Staying married to the script can be crippling to a sale. A tip to "stay listening" is to avoid interrupting, and responding out loud by saying "I see, oh really, etc".
Remind your callers to listen: there's nothing worse than speaking to a person on the other line who is plainly not listening to you.
It's important to know your average conversion rate for a typical calling campaign will be. You will get a good idea of this when you make the calls yourself as described in Step 3.
Use tried and tested goals for your sellers: don't expect more from them than you, as an evangelist for your own business, can do. It just won't work.

Audiobook Summary:The riveting story of one of the greatest scientific accomplishments of the twentieth century, from the co-author of the #1 New York Times best seller Apollo 13 . With rivalries, reversals, and a race against time, the struggle to eradicate polio is one of the great tales of modern history. It begins with the birth of Jonas Salk, shortly before one of the worst polio epidemics in United States history. At the time, the disease was a terrifying enigma: striking from out of nowhere, it afflicted tens of thousands of children in this country each year and left them, literally overnight, paralyzed, and sometimes at death's door. Salk was in medical school just as a president crippled by the disease, Franklin D. Roosevelt, was taking office, and providing the impetus to the drive for studies on polio. By the early 1950s, Salk had already helped create an influenza vaccine, and was hot on the trail of the polio virus. He was nearly thwarted, though, by the politics of medicine and by a rival researcher eager to discredit his proposed solution. Meanwhile, in 1952, polio was spreading in record numbers, with 57,000 cases in the United States that summer alone. In early 1954, Salk was weighing the possibility of trials of a not-yet-perfected vaccine against, as the summer approached, the prospect of thousands more children being struck down by the disease. The results of the history-making trials were announced at a press conference on April 12, 1955: "The vaccine works." The room, and an entire nation, erupted in cheers for this singular medical achievement. Salk became a cultural hero and icon for a whole generation. Now, at the fiftieth anniversary of the first national vaccination program, and as humanity is tantalizingly close to eradicating polio worldwide, comes this unforgettable chronicle. Salk's work was an unparalleled achievement, and it makes for a magnificent listen.
