College years are notorious for a lot of reasons, one of which is weight gain. Contrary to popular belief, the freshman fifteen is an underestimate; most gain closer to twenty pounds. Do not be a statistic! Weigh in on these helpful tips to make your college years, truly, the best of your life.
Weight gain during college is multi-factorial. Boredom certainly plays a role. Mom would rather not hear this, but there is a lot of down time in college. Time that you're supposed to be studying is instead spent socializing and snacking, and let's face it: peers highly influence unhealthy food choices (pizza and wings at midnight, anyone?).
Another cause of weight gain is eating out. Since there are limited cooking facilities in dorms and limited cooking skills – most eighteen year olds tend to only know how to toast bread – there is a reliance on eating out.
I'm Young, Why Eat Healthy?
Choices made at a young age affect your future- we know this. This is especially true with healthy eating. Preventing future health issues such as heart disease, diabetes, and arthritis are only a few of the benefits of eating well at a young age. Not only will it help you prevent disease, eating healthfully and exercising will also lay the foundation for your future. Developing healthful habits at a young age makes it easier to keep them going throughout your life.
When choosing which frozen meal to buy, consider the salt content and the calories per serving. Since our daily allowance of salt is <2300 milligrams and, on average, 2000 calories per day, a product that meets these values in one meal means it is not a healthful choice.
Everyone, no matter the age, needs physical activity. As the concept goes: calories in should be less than the energy you expend in order to lose weight. One does not work without the other. Make a commitment to working out at least three times a week and stick to it. It only has to be thirty minutes of cardiovascular exercise to make a difference to your health. Consider going for a run, dancing at Zumba class, or playing a sport with friends on the turf. Encourage a friend to join forces, and motivate each other.

A four goal first half blitz of Maynooth University 'B' saw Ulster University maintain their perfect league record to comfortably take the Rustlers Division Two title in the decider at the FAI NTC Abbotstown.
The Ulster side have been hugely impressive all season and have now registered seven straight wins scoring 38 goals with only two conceded and they showed no mercy to their opponents in this rather one sided affair.
Man of the Match Jack O'Mahony gave them the perfect start with a fine individual goal within five minutes after easily getting through the Maynooth defence.
Joe McKinney did have a great chance to level matters for Maynooth but his finish from close in was weak and Matthew McClurg was able to gather it with ease.
Both Callum Moorehead and Darious Roohi then tested Maynooth 'keeper Caoimhin Kelly before the excellent Thomas Maguire doubled the Ulster University score on the half hour.
O'Mahony threaded a lovely ball into his path and he finished with some style past Kelly.
O'Mahony grabbed his second of the game ten minutes later steering home Moorehead's cross from the left from close in.
The game was more or less put to bed on the half time whistle when Maguire was allowed to easily get past the Maynooth defence for his second goal and leave Maynooth trailing 4-0 with a mountain to climb after the break.
Unfortunately they were unable to pose any real threat and Ulster emptied the bench and saw out the game with ease to claim the title and promotion to Division One next season.

The 4×15 Series showcases 15-minute staged segments from four new musicals. Each team receives 5 hours of rehearsal to workshop their piece.
Join us for the next round of 4×15! Four new musicals will present 15 minutes of fully-staged materials for a public audience. This is a great opportunity to see what development of these new projects looks like at an early stage, and to hear from the authors and creative teams about their developmental process!
EL OTRO LADO DEL DESTINO
Zoe has long since turned her back on the family ways and forgotten all about her gift. But when a powerful spirit begins to torment her there is no place left to hide. Zoe must face her past or be the destruction of everyone she loves.
Jazz Johnson is an aspiring Broadway Pianist in New York who is committed to playing music of all genres for his friends until he finds himself committed to the psych ward. He comes from a good Christian family but after he is fired from the church he begins a bi-polar quest to empower himself by indulging in dominating sexual practices.
ANTIOCH MASS
Antioch Mass is a choral music theater piece that explores the narrative of Simon Peter, torn between his love for the church and his love for a man—Jesus. The ritual uses the traditional catholic mass along with a collage of texts ranging from the words of Langston Hughes and Assata Shakur to encouraging messages from sympathy cards and first-hand accounts of the HIV/AIDS crisis from a queer black perspective. Featuring a community choir, the music weaves between traditional choral music and contemporary gospel music to create a unifying sonic experience reminding us all of the divine love we share.
DREAMING IN CUBAN
Dreaming in Cuban is a multi-generational story about the women of the del Pino family, who are bitterly divided over the Cuban Revolution. The four main characters—Celia, the Communist matriarch; Felicia, her disaffected hairdresser daughter; Lourdes, her entrepreneurial bakery owner daughter in Brooklyn; and Lourdes's daughter, Pilar, a gutsy artist teenager—each carries the scars of longing, separation, and love. And their coping mechanisms vary from the hilarious to the sacred, the preposterous to the profane.
The theatrical adaptation takes place over the course of one year, from 1979 to the spring of 1980, when the Mariel exodus irrevocably disrupts their lives. At the onset, Celia is fully onboard with the Revolution, much to the dismay of Felicia, who cannot find any sense of belonging on the island. Lourdes is proudly opening a second Yankee Doodle bakery but openly battling Pilar, who wants nothing more than to return to Cuba and visit the grandmother she lost as a baby. Complicating matters is the ghost of Jorge del Pino, Celia's newly dead husband, who's taken up intermittent residence in Brooklyn. Before long, they will all converge on the island anew with wildly unexpected consequences.

The Keep (Paperback)
By Jennifer Egan
Anchor, 9781400079742, 272pp.
Compact Disc (8/1/2006)
Paperback (11/21/2011)
Award-winning author Jennifer Egan brilliantly conjures a world from which escape is impossible and where the keep –the tower, the last stand –is both everything worth protecting and the very thing that must be surrendered in order to survive.
Two cousins, irreversibly damaged by a childhood prank, reunite twenty years later to renovate a medieval castle in Eastern Europe. In an environment of extreme paranoia, cut off from the outside world, the men reenact the signal event of their youth, with even more catastrophic results. And as the full horror of their predicament unfolds, a prisoner, in jail for an unnamed crime, recounts an unforgettable story that seamlessly brings the crimes of the past and present into piercing relation.
Jennifer Egan is the author of four novels: A Visit from the Goon Squad, The Keep, Look at Me, The Invisible Circus; and the story collection Emerald City. Her stories have been published in The New Yorker, Harper's Magazine, GQ, Zoetrope, All-Story, and Ploughshares, and her nonfiction appears frequently in The New York Times Magazine. She lives with her husband and sons in Brooklyn.
Praise For The Keep…
"Dazzling. . . . Prodigiously entertaining and profoundly moving."—Madison Smartt Bell, The New York Times Book Review"Daring. . . . Irresistibly suspenseful." —The Los Angeles Times"The events that transpire are so surprising and provocative, the humor so wry, the sheer pleasure of reading The Keep so great, one instantly feels impelled to read it again. . . . Satirically sublime."—Chicago Tribune "Roiling and captivating. . . . As you finish this novel, part horror tale, part mystery, part romance, the mind lingers over it, amazed by how vivid Egan has made it, how witty, how disturbing, how credible, and yet how utterly fantastic."—O, The Oprah Magazine"This neo-gothic tale conjures a wicked form of therapy for BlackBerry-addicted urbanites. . . . Egan's clever scenario presents Danny's mental liberation as both thrilling and dangerous—imagination is the ultimate drug, she suggests—and the novel luxuriates in Wilkie Collins–style atmospherics."—The New Yorker"Egan is an exceptionally intelligent writer whose joy at appropriating and subverting genres and clichés—from prison memoir to Gothic ghost story—is evident on every dizzyingly inventive page."—The Washington Post"[A] remarkable piece of work. . . . Egan effectively echoes the works of Gothic writers such as Ann Radcliffe (The Mysteries of Udolpho) and Horace Walpole (Castle of Otranto), fusing a seemingly moribund genre with elements borrowed from the metafictions of John Barth, Italo Calvino and others. It's tricky; but it's a trick only a terrifically talented writer could pull off."—San Francisco Chronicle"If Kafka's Joseph K. and Lewis Carroll's Alice had a son, he would have to be Jennifer Egan's Danny. . . . No matter how many symbols and zany subplots she juggles . . . the novelist keeps the action moving and the irony biting."—Boston Sunday Globe"Intelligent, intense and remarkably intuitive. . . . Jennifer Egan gives us the satisfying thunk of a fully understood if unexpected, kind of sense."—Nan Goldberg, The New York Observer"It's precisely Egan's talent for tapping into the American subconscious—with deeply intuitive forays into the darker aspects of our technology–driven, image–saturated culture—that has established the author and journalist as a prescient literary voice."—Vogue"Jennifer Egan spins a haunting tale. . . . Egan's brilliance is in balancing the deliciously creepy elements of gothic–castle novels with the dead–on realism of a prisoner's life, to create a book worth keeping."—Elissa Schappell, Vanity Fair"Egan's third novel . . . is a strange, clever, and always compelling meditation on the relationship between the imagination and the captivities (psychological, metaphysical, and even physical) of modern life."—The Atlantic Monthly"Visionary . . . at once hyperrealistic and darkly dreamed. . . . With Egan's powers of invention running at full tilt, The Keep reads like a twenty-first-century mash-up of Kafka, Calvino, and Poe, in which the absurd meets the surreal meet the unspeakable—to edgy, entertaining effect."—Lisa Shea, Elle"The Keep is an example of literature responding to current events not with a mirror but an artful mindfuck." —David Bahr, Time Out New York"With The Keep, Egan breaks the mold from page one. Her muscular, lively prose achieves a haunting effect. . . . [The book] maintains a frightening, vertiginous velocity. . . . And the immersion in these high-stakes psychological tightrope acts gives The Keep a page-turning horror. . . . Outstanding."—The Onion"Egan gets everything right–from the convolutions of the strung-out male mind to the self-deceptions of a drug addict–and her skill will keep you marveling at the pages that you can't help turning."—People"Like an old spirit who refuses to go away, this is one fantasy that haunts long after its physical end."—The Boston Phoenix"Egan is both a captivating storyteller and an incisive social observer. . . . The events that transpire are so surprising and provocative, the humor so wry, the sheer pleasure of reading The Keep so great, one instantly feels impelled to read it again, an impulse that is grandly rewarded, so masterful is Egan's foreshadowing, so nuanced and mysterious is the story. Gothic and chthonic, The Keep is satirically sublime."—The Chicago Tribune"Arresting . . . insightful and often funny, so fluid that you actually have the sensation of sinking into these lives . . . strange and beautifully drawn, a place well worth visiting."—Susan Kelly, USA Today"Dazzling . . . a metafictional tour de force . . . it draws us in with its compelling realism as surely as anything by Dickens or Balzac—not to mention Henry James, who understood better than anyone how to turn the screw."—Chicago Sun-Times"Steeped in Gothic mystery and plugged into our wired, up–to–the–minute cultures, The Keep is a hypnotic tale of unexpected connections between isolated people, each concealing secrets that ultimately upend how we see them. . . . Though dark with betrayal and violence (both psychological and literal), The Keep ultimately reveals itself to be a love letter to the creative impulse."—Newsday"The Keep is a novel of ideas."—Poets & Writers"An engrossing narrative told in prose that's remarkably fresh and inventive."—Library Journal"Atmospheric and tense, this is a mesmerizing story."—Booklist"Jennifer Egan is a contemporary American storyteller in the vein of Stephen King or The Sopranos scriptwriters. Her latest novel, a slightly gothic tale of love and the (possibly) supernatural, is a pleasure to read. . . . Egan's eye and ear for contemporary America places the whole saga too close to home for fantasy."—Emily Carter Roiphe, Minneapolis Star-Tribune"A dark and fascinating journey. . . . Egan skillfully builds the tension to a tipping point, culminating in an explosion. . . . The complicated plot comes together seamlessly, marvelously. . . . It's a novel that engages and haunts the reader, a psychological who's–who, who–dun–what and how–do–they–go–on. The Keep is a fast an furious read, a perfect summer novel."—Rocky Mountain News"Egan . . . makes it all work. How she weaves the story of these four people together—and the unexpected links between them—is fascinating."—The Oregonian"The book itself is a stronghold of imaginative story telling, the last stand of the Gothic novel."—The Philadelphia Inquirer"Exhilarating . . . Context and borders shift and dissolve, and the reader experiences the precise frisson the gloomy genre of Gothic is meant to convey: the wonder, the terror and the trapped chill of fear that resolves in a mind-expanding realization of the dimensions within your own head. In a word: sublime."—Linda Marotta, Fangoria"Part gothic romance, part ghost story, and peppered with Egan's startling insights into the role of communication and loneliness in contemporary life, this is one brainy page-turner that will have you leaving the lights on at night."—iVillage"The Keep is a cinematic treat for the inner eye, moving as it does between the musty dungeons of an ancient power to a prison full of angry men and deep into the souls of the walking dead—those riddled with guilt, lust and loneliness."—Santa Cruz Sentinel"The Keep is imaginatively plotted and keeps you guessing until its final chapter. Far from seeming in any way contrived or dependent upon props or plot stratagems, Egan's storytelling reaffirms the quality that defines 'literary' suspense."—Pittsburgh Tribune-Review"Jennifer Egan's The Keep is a page–turner."—The Austin Chronicle"An addictive, clever story."—The Register-Guard"A psychological drama inside a haunted house tale wrapped in a prison memoir that never fails to stoke the imagination. . . . An original thrill ride of a novel."—Times-Leader"A chilling tour de force made eerily real."—Bookpage"Egan's story, like the elusive castle with its unexplored rooms and uncharted underground tunnels, keeps transforming into new realities as she unveils some extraordinary surprises along the way. Jennifer Egan is a very fine writer, whose characters and plot will keep you up late reading and pondering its fascinating turns."—San Antonio Express-News

Night's candles are burnt out, and jocund day stands tiptoe on the misty mountain tops
Spanish life is not always likeable but it is compellingly loveable
– Christopher Howse: 'A Pilgrim in Spain'
Detailed info on Galicia and Pontevedra city here.
The UK: As Freedom day of 21.6 is delayed for 'up to 4 weeks', there are now real fears that – unless the next month proves 'successful' against the Delta variant – mask wearing and distancing will remain through the autumn and winter months, until next spring. The government, it seems, has made exactly the same mistake with Delta as it did with the original variant early last year; it acted too slowly against a known threat, allowing many thousands of people to arrive from India. But this time round, the vaccine success might well not offer the protection it has done to date.
Spain: Here, the question is: What will be the national effect of Delta taking hold in Madrid? The recent – Vox arranged – demonstration there against lockdowns surely won't have helped.
Cosas de España/Galiza
The latest chapter in the Pardons saga. This time, the leaders of the other right-of-centre parties were not so dumb as to be snapped standing next to the leader of the the far-right Vox party.
25,000 rally in Madrid against imminent pardons for jailed Catalan leaders
Advice on travelling to Spain. This week's anyway.
Cultures and customs differ. Spaniards are amused by the British 'obsession' with Please and Thank-you. I was reminded of this leaving my first Pilates class, when I was the only one of 12 students to say Thanks to the instructor. Everyone else just said See you. But, then, the British say Thank-you to the driver of their bus as they get off. Which even I find excessive. But still sometimes do it. . .
Life is virtually back to normal here in Pontevedra city. Hence the denuncias against excessive noise and raucous binge-drinking down in the old quarter over the weekend. The young are making hay during our lighter-than-they-really-should-be evenings. Not that the light really is a factor in this.
Which reminds me . . . Even before Covid, there was talk of the government doing something about Spain's mad horario, which has some folk arriving home from work after 10pm and watching TV until 1am. Covid and its early closures then raised the question of whether any of the enforced changes would be retained – with diners eating at, say, 8 rather than 9 or 10. But I see nil evidence of this and wonder if anyone has.
There were some teething problems with the new GB News both last night and this morning. I took a look at 7am but won't be watching again, as some some reporters spoke with regional accents and one of them said 'An increasing amount of cases', instead of 'an increasing number'. .
The right-of-centre Times, though, said GBN's approach to the news will have been music to the ears of those viewers who believe TV news is 50 shades of Left. Which is surely correct.
Franc
I mentioned Macron's need for a geography lesson. Here's one.
In revenge, I cite the 1513 Battle of the Spurs, so called because these were the only things used by the French cavalry as they fled from the English troops. Thereafter, said French cavalry (the gendarmerie) was known throughout Europe – for a while at least – as The Armoured Hares.
Religious Nutters Corner
Thank god not all Catholic priests are as insane as the Spanish one who's said the culpability for the murder of 2 young girls by their father lies with his unfaithful ex-wife.
It would seem we're no longer allowed to die of anything. Perhaps, as a consequence, we'll all live for ever, but without even a scintilla of enjoyment.
Encajar is one of those Spanish verbs which can mean a lot of things. I'm currently trying to work out what Encajar los hombros means. 'Push them together', I think . .
It's football time again. With ex-footballers as commentators who say things like: He's took up a great position and He done well there. Who was it said there's a standard English imposed on everyone by class considerations?
Finally . . .
Lenox Napier has kindly sent me this on the topic of modern music, a subject I rather danced around yesterday. As I'm aware older folk always tend to disparage the music of previous generations:-

Couple of days back, I received a message from Twitterfeed saying that TwitterFeed will be shutting down it's doors on the 31st of October, 2016.
Certainly, that came to limelight as the service stopped working on the date stated. I noticed all posts published from the 1st of November, were no longer being automatically shared to my connected social media channels.
Now, being a pretty satisfied Twitterfeed user for years, the news came as a shock. TwitterFeed has always helped me in auto-posting published contents to Facebook and Twitter few minutes after an article is published here on TechsNG using the blog's RSS feed.
If you are a serious blogger, it is necessary for you to have such tool running. If not for anything, at least for the aim of driving traffic from social networks. Of course, social network is handy if you aim to improve your blog traffic over a short period of time.
You can actually choose to share your blog posts across various social networks manually. But think of the time spent in doing that. Using auto-post tools makes the process quicker thus saving you some time.
Now that TwitterFeed has shut its doors, what's the way forward? Thankfully, there are quite a number of really good twitterfeed alternatives you can use. And I'd be sharing them here with you.
Dlvr.it has been around for quite some time now and the service has been fabulous. I picked Dlvr.it as my number one twitter alternative specifically because I have been using the service for quite sometime and it has always delivered.
Signing up is easy. You can choose to use your twitter or Facebook account in creating an account or simply use to register using your email address.
For free, users can auto-share posts to 3 social networks from up to 5 sites using their RSS feeds.
Hootsuite is another awesome alternative to TwitterFeed. Just like Dlvr.it, users can easily auto post content from their blogs to their social media account using the blog's rss feed.
Hootsuite for beginners who aim to start with the free service, can share contents to 3 social profiles (Facebook, twitter, Google Plus), Schedule posts, as well as get insight to basic analytics.

CNN's GUT CHECK
Latest CNN Polls
News from Capitol Hill
More bad news for Weiner: Campaign manager quits
CNN's Kevin Liptak
(CNN) - Days after Anthony Weiner admitted to lewd chats with women online, his campaign manager quit, Weiner and his campaign said Sunday.
Danny Kedem's departure is the latest sign Weiner's New York City mayoral bid is struggling amid allegations of online sexual impropriety. After the chats and photographs became public Tuesday, a poll showed him dropping to second place among Democratic candidates for mayor and his favorable numbers plummeting.
"Danny has left the campaign," Weiner told CNN affiliate NY1. "He did a remarkable job."
Praising the "excellent staff" remaining in his organization, Weiner said more volunteers had flocked to his bid in the last few days than at any point since his campaign began.
"This isn't about the people working on the campaign, it's about the people that we're working for," he said.
Kedem, a 31-year-old operative who previously worked for the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, declined comment in an e-mail to CNN.
Weiner first acknowledged Tuesday that he did not stop sending raunchy online chats to women when he left Congress in 2011. That resignation was prompted by allegations from several women that Weiner had sent them lewd photographs of himself.
Speaking at a news conference Thursday, the Democrat said he couldn't say for sure how many more women might come forward.
"There are a few. I don't have a specific number for you," Weiner said.
Pressed to provide a guess as to how many online relationships occurred after his resignation, Weiner said, "I don't believe I had any more than three."
He has resisted calls from his rivals to withdraw from the mayor's race, saying the decision of whether he's trustworthy enough for the job should be up to voters.
His chief rival for the Democratic nomination, City Council Speaker Christine Quinn, stopped short of calling for his withdrawal from the mayor's race Sunday but lambasted his actions as generating further distrust in government.
"I think it's become very clear that former Congress member Weiner has a pattern of reckless behavior, an inability to tell the truth and a real lack of maturity and responsibility," Quinn said on NBC's "Meet the Press." "I don't think he should be mayor, and I think voters, if he stays in the race, will make that very clear."
On Friday, Weiner indicated he may stop answering questions altogether about his online relationships.
"There's going to reach a point fairly soon that I'm going to say I think I've said enough about it, and I'm going to keep just talking about other things," he told reporters on Staten Island.
CNN's Chris Kokenes and Ashley Killough contributed to this report.

If he really had learned from his mistake the first time, perhaps some voters might have given him the benefit of the doubt; but to find he continued doing the same thing leaves me to think this campaign is all but done.

Come on peeps! I made a mistake and tweeted pictures of my WMD. We have all been there. I still make a great politician.
PoBoy
I can't believe that 16 percent of NY voters say that will still vote for him. Weiner is a problem, but 16 percent of NY voters are a bigger problem!
He looks like the old dude on The Simpsons......smithers or something like that. Could be his twin.
Does anyone else find it stranger that most of the people talking about he should jump out of the race are not even from NYC? How about the media stay out of it and leave it up to the voters of NYC? Clearly the powers to be don't want him in the race....no one is even talking about the issues that NYC has that need to be addressed. The only thing folks seem to be worried about is some naked pics he sent over his phone? Who cares? If his wife doesn't care, why should I? If he's a problem solver and will manage the city better, I could care less what he does in his personal time.
I hope he wins.
Rarely seen in American politics, a complete dufus still able to stay in the race. Weiner's mistakes, I have to chuckle. They remind of Spaceballs when Drak Helmet takes Lonestar's ring, and laughs. I mean, how stupid can you be? Obviously Weiner was left out of the loop as far as internet "spying" because after getting caught once, he has kept on. I feel bad for his wife.
@ Loathes: Barney Frank, Bill Clinton. 'nuff said.
Never has so much been made out of something where not even a kiss has taken place. Not even a holding of the hands.
Prudishness and sexual repression is a national mental disorder.
For the Duration
Weiner has my vote. Anyone who can withstand the negative vibe of this fallout and still want to carry on seeking public office has the true gall of an American politician. Gave proof through the night, that his flag was still there. God bless the empire state.
bankrupt to student loans
he doesn't look healthy
sundara0000
This guy even being in the race at all is a big joke.
Don in Afghanistan
It's amazing how even a text offender like this bozo thinks he's done nothing wrong and truly believes he has support. I don't think he has real chance anyway, but you gotta admire his "staying power".
LOL, Is Ugly Huma sill rooting for her man? 😉
Weinet should quit too.
liberal disease
Why doesn't Obama call him and make him quit? oh right nobody listens to Obama anymore except the press
MightyMoo
Time to give up being in politics and get a regular job since someone can't keep it in their pants.
This_moron's problems are far from over. To boldly trudge forward in pursuit of a political office while posting sexually suggestive photos of himself online is a brand of arrogance that is finding less tolerance by the people.
His political career is over. The only one who doesn't yet realize it is Anthony Weiner.
one11one
The problem is, you don't want a scenario where has to handle a 911 type crisis while also dealing with his latest sexting escapade.
1Adam12
Go away loser politician.
He's toast !!!!
This guy needs to wake up to reality and quit allready...pathetic
thetruthhhh
Being that I'm actually over the age of 12 emotionally I could care less what he did sexually in the first place let alone after. So what that he likes what he likes and is it really that astonishing he lied about it. This country is embarrassing. He did an excellent job when in office and once again here comes the naughty parts to make everyone freak out. It should have never been a big deal in the first place. Most of you should worry about your own weak sex lives.
he leaves a victim in all of this................his wife
Anthony Weiner never had anything to begin with...and now all this nonsense he wants to force the people to have to deal with. That's not just sick – that's stupid. Quit, Weiner, and let the other (D) carry the torch.

This is the word to describe the transformation that is taking place in Imus National High School (INHS). From a typical 39-classroom public secondary school situated in Bucandala III, City of Imus, Cavite to an award winning 78-classroom campus complete with 'high-tech' facilities.
This transformation is made possible through the collaborative efforts pitched in by the entire workforce of INHS, both internal and external stakeholders, through the able leadership of its school head, Arturo P. Rosaroso Jr., who envisions the school as a leading secondary campus in terms of physical facilities and academic standing not only in Imus City, but also within the Region and in the national scene.
The journey of INHS that led to its recognition was never a smooth ride. However, guided by the Region IV-A's Transparent, Ethical and Accountable (TEA) Governance and other related circulars and memoranda, Imus National High School was able to stand out and figure out the right formula in tapping the fullest potential of the school's workforce and maximizing the assistance reached out by its external stakeholders.
Within the last three years, INHS has improved its physical structure – from restructuring the drainage system that solved the flooding problem of the school, to laying out tiles within the school ground, to improving the classroom making it conducive to learning, to installing CCTV cameras in various places of the school for the safety of the students, to putting up a Techno Hub which also provides a venue for gathering, to setting up a 10x12 feet LED wall in the newly furnished covered court. All these are for the end goal of providing quality education to all its learners.
Simply amazing. This is INHS. The home of Proud Imuseño Disiplinado!


Rancho Oasis for Youth: Newsito: "Growing in Wisdom & Stature"
Newsito: "Growing in Wisdom & Stature"
Our heart has always been for youth. We have grand visions for Rancho Oasis, but move at a Latin American-God ordained pace… Latin Standard Time as we like to tease! LOL!
At the core of the vision for Rancho Oasis is to see young people not only make a serious commitment to Jesus Christ, but to mature and be developed through consistent relationships into God-obeying/loving men and women. In a word: discipleship.
What we never could have imagined was the extreme poverty of the small village where we live. Not just simply material poverty (not having things/resources), but the deep poverty of spirit, hopelessness and apathy that permeates our community.
We've learned that the Gospel is so much more than simply "accepting Jesus into your heart". It is a full life commitment and example consisting of a renewing of not only the souls of those we serve (2 Corinthians 5:17), but restoring their relationships to one another (Philippians 2:1-5), to God (2Corinthians 5:20-21) and their sphere of influence (Colossians 1:19-20).
Last year God made us aware of a unique situation in the community. Many of the children who graduated the local elementary school did not continue their education. We begin to pray and seek answers about this saddening status quo. Many of the youth were not accepted because of a minimum age requirement: the high school and Saturday school program is fourteen-years-old and the Ojojonan trade school is fifteen. Other youth claimed it was a lack of financial resources, even though the trade school is free and includes transportation and meals. So, we begin to pray and ask the Lord how we can work with this group of "gap" year students from twelve to fourteen-years-old.
As we prayed God begin to create a vision for a trade school, of sorts; a school that emphasized Jesus' character, as well as learning skills to earn an immediate income. We set a date and invited the youth to come discuss their ideas with us. We had over thirty people present at our first initial meetings. (I was expecting five or six!) Frankly, we were blown away by the interest, but convinced that the need was revealed to us by the Holy Spirit! Wow!
At our first meeting, Jon asked the youth to create a list of potential "trades" to learn. Anything they could think of: car mechanics, computers, English, beauty salon, masonry and sewing were to name a few that were considered. It was an exciting and lively discussion!
Marillyn, Oscar, Ilsy, Lucinda and Jon took the list of interests and began to "calculate" the feasibility of implementing some of their ideas. For example, masonry is a common labor skill needed in the village. However, none of us on staff are equipped to teach it and we know many men in the community who are skilled masons that go without work for weeks-on-end! We needed to find something more practical to teach. We also discovered that with many of the trades, there were free classes offered in Ojojona and even in Tegucigalpa at schools, such as INFOP, equipped to handle auto-mecanics or computers. But still for some youth the obstacle was the age limit or the cost of transportation to the capital.
We concluded that we would start with three trades: agriculture, crafts and cooking. We had the skills to teach them and the resources and time to have results, produce or products, to sell. Also, these results could be accomplished relatively quickly (unlike, for example, years of studying computers and then looking for a job.). Oscar would focus on the ag school, while Marillyn would focus on the crafts and cooking (with Lu's assistance and Jon's translation). We also decided that we would extend the age maximum to twenty-five years old (half of the interested youth were fifteen or older).
We presented the ideas to the youth via Jesus' teaching about the cost of being a disciple: Luke 14:28-33. The realities of immediately putting into practice new skills to see quicker results was well received! And the Taller de Conocimiento, Desarollo y Proseridad began! (Trade School of Knowledge, Development and Prosperity).
Maria translates for Mary Beth as she interacts with the teens about a purity skit.
Taller CDP began its initial week with the assistance of one of our long-time supporting churches, Calvary Chapel Morgantown. Jon wanted to focus on the spiritual before truly entering into the workshop atmosphere. Jon's heart was lead to do a purity conference with the assistance of the RO4Y staff and the short-term missions team.
Each day focused on different areas of purity: mental (our thoughts), entertainment (what we hear and see), health (what we allow into our bodies: smoking, drugs, alcohol), sexual (abstinence and God's design) and finally, relationships (how we treat one another). The numerous scripture references were supported by skits performed by the North American teens on the team and testimonies from Oscar, Ilsy, Lucinda, Marillyn, the translator Maria and Marillyn's mother and RO4Y team coordinator, Brooke Goranson. Plus, team members lead a knitting class that fell right into our ideas with the trade school craft classes. It was beautiful!
We also "hired" ten of the trade school students to set up, work and tear-down our Community Rummage Sale. (Thank you CC Morgantown for the donations of the new selection of clothes and shoes!) Ilsy lead the crew of ladies to work the sale this last Sunday. It was a great opportunity to come along-side the youth and critique their performance to be better employees. Plus, they enjoyed a pick of items from the sale before the doors were open to the community!
What makes the trades school so exciting is the combination of personal interests (For example, Oscar's skill and passion for farming and Mare's artistic gifts) being fused with the Gospel and Word of God to transform the lives of these youth both now and for eternity.
This is the work & ministry of Rancho Oasis for Youth. This is the passion of Jon, Marillyn, the staff and teams that serve, give and pray for Rancho Oasis. It is so exciting to be in-line with God's will.
to the glory of God."
Continue to pray as the trade school develops!
We look forward to seeing how these youth will grow!
-To stay mentally pure I need to pray each time I have bad thoughts. I need to listen to music with positive messages or read the Bible. I need to avoid experimenting with drugs.

October 11, 2017, Lansing, Mich. -- In response to an Oakland County court case involving a mother who has chosen not to immunize her children with vaccines cultured using aborted fetal tissue, Michigan's largest prolife organization issued a statement verifying the mother's claim and supporting her right of conscience in refraining from using those vaccines.
Right to Life of Michigan Legislative Director Ed Rivet said, "There is absolutely no question that a significant number of common vaccines are directly cultured using cells from aborted unborn children. That is how the vaccines are produced. We have long supported the right of parents to refrain from using them or to request alternative versions cultured in untainted cell lines."
Rivet said, "These cells came from healthy babies who were electively aborted, not from miscarried babies. The unfortunate part is that all of these vaccines can be produced without the use of aborted fetal cells. The pharmaceutical industry can eliminate this entire controversy by using other cell lines to produce vaccines."
Right to Life of Michigan has long made information available about the connection between abortion and vaccines and has previously testified before the Michigan Legislature in support of parents' right of conscience in refusing to use these vaccines.
All of the common childhood immunizations have versions cultured using aborted fetal cells, for example MMR (Measles, Mumps, Rubella) and DTPP (Diptheria, Tentanus, Pertussis, Polio). Some few versions are not grown using fetal cells. No abortion-free alternatives exist for Chickenpox, Hepatitis A, and MMR.
Rivet said, "Right to Life of Michigan will continue to expose the truth about these vaccines, continue to support parents who refrain from using them, and continue to urge the creation of ethically-produced vaccines."

Account holders with Fujitsu General Australia's online spare parts e-commerce store have been notified of a breach in their privacy after the Australian retailer experienced a cyber attack on 27 December 2018. While the system was protected by malware scanner, the issue was not detected until 15 January 2019.
The website, which was launched in June 2016, has been a convenient one-stop-shop for customers in sourcing parts for Fujitsu air conditioning systems. The brute force attack has compromised the sensitive data of its customers such as credit details of Australian users that made a purchase between 27 December 2018 and 16 January 2019.
Access to the e-commerce website is currently unavailable as it undergoes a security update.
In the meantime, Fujitsu General Australia has issued a warning for customers to be extra vigilant of potential phishing emails and scam telephone calls.


The Lake Tunnel Solar Village proposed for an area just outside of downtown Geneva, NY has been generating lots of buzz since it was announced in 2016.
The developer's announcement at Thursday's Geneva Area Chamber of Commerce dinner is sure to generate even more. SmallGrid CEO Ryan Wallace announced that the Geneva-based company will be constructing a modular home factory in the city as part of an effort to build solar-powered communities in the Northeast and beyond. The project will create 20 "good-paying jobs" over the next 18 months, Wallace told Geneva Chamber members at Club 86 Thursday night. The SmallGrid leader said the company will hire more people as it builds additional solar-housing developments. "Our target markets are in New York initially, but we won't announce those until the Lake Tunnel Solar Village is well underway," said Wallace on Friday. He said at the dinner that "we are already getting requests from other communities … for more solar villages." If all goes well, said Wallace, he envisions more than 200 jobs created over 10 years. Such job growth would cut into Geneva's 24 percent poverty rate by 4 percent, Wallace claimed. He said SmallGrid will be breaking ground in June on its $8.5 million project to be built on vacant land next to the tunnel that runs under Routes 5&20 that connects downtown and the lakefront.

What is Cosmos, and how is it revolutionizing the crypto industry?

What are your thoughts on the most significant cryptocurrencies? Because it can store and transmit money in a trustless manner, you may have said Bitcoin. You might also mention Ethereum (ETH) because it is the world computer that will power the future decentralized internet. You might even say Chainlink (LINK) because it is the data oracle that provides real-world utility to blockchain applications.
However, it is (highly) likely that you will overlook Cosmos (ATOM), a cryptocurrency project that is quickly becoming the backbone for interoperability among all cryptocurrency blockchains. Not only that but the Cosmos SDK was used to create some of the largest cryptocurrencies by market size, including BNB and Terra (LUNA).
In a world where thousands of blockchains now exist, with new projects emerging every day, interoperability is the only way for the crypto industry to attain adoption at a global level. The main goal of Cosmos is to tackle the lack of interoperability in the market.
Cosmos, dubbed as the "Internet of blockchains" by its founding team, intends to build a community of crypto networks linked together via open-source technologies that streamline transactions across them. This emphasis on customizability and interoperability distinguishes Cosmos from other projects.
Instead of focusing on its own network, the company's objective is to create an ecosystem of networks that can transfer data and tokens automatically, with no central entity enabling the activity.
The Cosmos Hub is a proof-of-stake blockchain that is powered by the ATOM cryptocurrency. Each new independent blockchain established within Cosmos (referred to as a "zone") is then connected to the Cosmos Hub, which keeps track of each zone's state and vice versa.
Instead of building a bridge between the Ethereum and Bitcoin blockchains, a bridge between Bitcoin and Polkadot (DOT), and yet another bridge between Polkadot and Ethereum, all three chains link into a single hub. The Cosmos Blockchain is simply one of several hubs in the Cosmos Network. ATOM is used to govern the entire Cosmos Network.
Cosmos creator Jae Kwon created Tendermint, a unique Proof of Stake (PoS) consensus mechanism, to aid in the construction of new blockchains. Tendermint blockchains are regarded as some of the most secure and scalable blockchains in the cryptocurrency industry. They can process up to 10,000 transactions per second and keep running even if one-third of the validator nodes are unavailable or attempting to corrupt the network. Not only that, but Tendermint enables the creation of customised, secure, and scalable blockchains from the bottom up in weeks rather than years.
The Cosmos team has also created the Cosmos software development kit (SDK), which allows developers to create blockchains based on the Tendermint consensus algorithm. The SDK reduces complexity by providing the most common functionality found in blockchains (i.e., staking, governance, tokens). Developers may create plugins to offer any extra functionality they choose.
The Cosmos ecosystem is built on three levels to interconnect the whole blockchain industry. The application layer is the initial layer. This layer is responsible for transaction processing. It is also the protocol in charge of monitoring the network's condition. The second layer of the blockchain is networking. This is the layer that allows different blockchains to communicate with one another. Using this approach, multiple blockchains with entirely distinct technology, consensus processes, and objectives can utilize each other's services.
The Consensus Protocol is the very last layer. Cosmos makes use of the Tendermint BFT engine. This mechanism protects the network and allows nodes to keep up to date. The protocol is specifically responsible for validating transactions and adding blocks to the blockchain.
The Tendermint BFT PoS governance method is a form of proof-of-stake (PoS). As a result, network users serve as validators. When users stake their cryptocurrency on Cosmos, they get incentives. Staking is a phrase used to describe the act of putting away a certain quantity of cryptocurrency in a network wallet in exchange for incentives. Staking is one of the most popular features in the market right now due to its minimal risk in comparison to trading.
Source: Tendermint
The crypto ecosystem seems incomplete without Cosmos. The industry as a whole must strive to come together to attain the next plateau of mainstream acceptance—every side benefits by working together. Users and developers all prosper when they're part of a community.
Blockchain firms also have the advantage of controlling the narrative of the sector. The days of labelling cryptocurrency as exclusively being utilized by criminals are now gone. Cryptocurrencies have transformed the global financial system to make it more efficient. Cosmos contributes to ensuring that the whole sector could benefit from technological developments. People are interested in ATOM for all the reasons mentioned above, making it one of the next explosive bets.

It's incredibly easy for anyone to work at home, and since you can get started without any money down, you can start earning profits fast. There are many great ways to generate an income from home – but certain work at home efforts show up repeatedly as having the top income potential.
The first business you can work from home is to blog for AdSense Cash. AdSense Cash consists of ads that are put on your blog or site. These ads are tied in to your site content (think apples to apples) so you might write a blog about health products and get ads that promote health products.
But if you're new to this, then how do you know what kind of blog to set up? Would a blog on some obscure topic earn you as much income? No. How to make sure your blog is a money maker (besides providing relevant and fresh content) is to set up a blog based on what's trending.
If you go to the home page of Yahoo, it'll even tell you what's trending. What you do is choose a category based on what's trending. For example, celebrities is a good one. Sports is another good blog, and making money is another one.
You can also make money from home by promoting Amazon items and this is second in the top work at home ideas. You get started on this by signing up to become an Amazon associate. You then promote those products on your website with links back to the product on Amazon using your affiliate ID.
Another avenue and also in the top ways to make money, is to sign up as an affiliate at ClickBank and start promoting their digital products. You'll want to test out the products that you promote so that you'll better understand how the product works and you'll be able to tell your customers what's good (or not so good) about the product.
You earn a commission (some of them quite high) based on what you promote. If you don't like the idea of promoting, but you enjoy writing and feel that you have some information that could benefit others, then write an eBook.
An eBook can sell countless times (giving you residual income). You can write an eBook on any topic under the sun – but it's best to choose a topic that people will pay money for, which usually solves a problem.
Working from home as a virtual assistant is also in the top 6 work at home ideas. It's a fast growing field and is relatively easy to set up and start. You can network and build clients online, through word of mouth and by positioning your site at the top of search engine results.
Finally, you can break into freelance writing or graphics. It's easy to turn your writing skills into a way to make money by writing for others. You can become a ghostwriter and write everything from blogs to essays to articles to eBooks and reports.

Retailers Turn To FB Live And Other Marketing Gimmicks To Push Sales Amidst Virus Outbreak
Jacky Yap
One of the sectors expected to be hit the hardest amidst the Coronavirus outbreak is definitely the retail sector.
As the main mode of virus transmission is via human-to-human contact, concerned Singaporeans are understandably trying to avoid heading out to crowded places.
These concerns, coupled with fewer inbound tourists, have caused shopping malls to see a huge dip in footfall over the past few weeks.
The Singapore tourism sector is also expected to take a hit, with visitor arrivals estimated to fall by 25 per cent to 30 per cent this year.
OG departmental store, for one, have recently announced that it will close an hour earlier at 7.30pm instead of the usual 8.30pm. In addition, it has also started taking temperatures of all employees and customers.
Besides OG, homegrown retailer habitat by honestbee has also announced that it is closed until further notice due to a "significant reduction in walk-in traffic" thanks to the outbreak.

Besides these retail joints, F&B outlets have also seen a drop in footfall, with reports coming in to indicate that the normal snaking queues at Jewel's A&W and Shake Shack is now nowhere to be seen.
What Else Are Retailers Doing To Remain Relevant?
While companies try to come out with ways to mitigate the impact of the virus, a small group of companies are increasingly turning to digital opportunities to ensure that business goes on as usual.
For MC2, a company that deals with curtains and blinds, they are used to organising "group buying" sessions, with over hundreds of homeowners attending each session.
Following the virus outbreak, MC2 has opted for Facebook Live instead to avoid hosting large crowds at their showroom. This definitely fits the saying "if the customers can't come to you, go to the customer".
The same goes for water purifier brand Ruhens who has activated their mobile showroom, where they will bring their products to interested customers on an appointment basis.
With this, prospective customers do not have to travel to their showroom, and they can avoid large crowd gatherings at the same place.

On the other hand, luxury consignment store LuxLexicon which has a physical storefront at The Centrepoint Orchard, expects a 20% slowdown in their business due to the fall in foot traffic.
LuxLexicon founder Florence Low told Vulcan Post that in order to mitigate the slowdown, they are now providing free home delivery services for all local buyers and free home pick-up services for their consignors who sell through them.
On top of that, LuxLexicon has also recently turned to Facebook live-streaming. Items are sold through "live bidding" so that customers can continue to shop at the comfort of their home.
In this uncertain business outlook, staying in touch with one's customers remains even more important.
For F&B businesses, sales too are expected to be slow. Owner of Basil & Mint hawker stall at Amoy Road Food Centre, Lum Von-Nie, told Channel News Asia that her weekly sales has plummeted by 20%.
Fortunately, she has been offering food delivery services through food delivery companies. As a result of that, it has helped cut her losses by 10% instead of 20%.
It is only through tough times that we see certain businesses standing out — and it seems like retailers are increasingly leveraging on digital efforts to do just that.
While non-FMCG (fast-moving consumer group) retailers are embracing for a fall in footfall and a slowdown in business, supermarkets and pharmacies are seeing a rise in customer visits.
Late last week, there was a shopping frenzy among Singaporeans — masks were always sold out, and people were 'panic buying' to stock up on daily essentials such as rice, toilet roll, instant noodles and more.

The commercialisation of outdoor and nature activities that offer excitement and stimulation in wild and remote 'escape' locations has fuelled the adventure and ecotourism industries. Historically, expeditions were sponsored or scientific and private rather than for business or profit with the focus on location and endeavour but not on prescribed experiences or outcomes. Challenges may have been overcome, expectations met, uncharted terrain conquered or new species discovered. Adventure and nature as a business however, attracts those who have the desire, finance and basic fitness for visiting remote areas but not the time, inclination, skills, equipment or experience to organise such adventures. There have been concerns about the development of outdoor adventure as 'recreational capitalism' or 'McDonaldisation' with its move away from the values of the social movement with its relationship towards place and community. The commodification of outdoor adventure and nature thus stands apart from the traditional values of outdoor and environmental educators. The expansion of adventure and ecotourism has led to a parallel growth in businesses including outfitters, local organisers and guides often with cascading impact on indigenous communities socially and economically. Adventure and nature activities necessarily use natural resources in pursuit of individual gain, be this physiological, psychological or emotional. Apart from the assumed associated increase in air travel, the environmental impact on landscapes, heritage and wildlife has been noted but not fully monitored and reported.

Encounter for Democracy and Equality (; EDE), more commonly known as New Encounter () is a kirchnerist political party in Argentina founded in 2004 by then-mayor of Morón, Martín Sabbatella. The party now forms part of the Frente de Todos, the ruling coalition supporting President Alberto Fernández.

From 2009 to 2015, the party was aligned with the Communist Party and the Solidary Party in a front called New Encounter, from which the EDE took its current common name.

History
The Encounter for Democracy and Equality was officially launched as a political party on 14 September 2004 by then-intendente (mayor) of Morón, Martín Sabbatella. Sabbatella had until then led his own local party, called Nuevo Morón ("New Morón"), and had belonged to the Broad Front and been involved with the Communist Party Youth, as well as the Front for a Country in Solidarity (Frepaso). According to Sabbatella, the party was partly inspired by the Uruguayan Broad Front.

In 2009, ahead of the nationwide legislative election, Sabbatella and the EDE formed a coalition with the Communist Party, the Solidary Party, the Freemen of the South Movement, the Workers' Central Union, among others; the coalition was named New Encounter (). Sabbatella ran in the Buenos Aires Province party list as the first candidate, and the coalition eventually won 2,15% of the overall national vote and secured two seats in the Chamber of Deputies (the other elected deputy was Graciela Iturraspe).

Ahead of the 2011 general election, New Encounter officially endorsed Cristina Fernández de Kirchner's bid for re-election, joining the broader Front for Victory.

In 2015 New Encounter, the coalition, finally dissolved due to internal differences between its member parties. In 2017 the EDE, now popularly known as "New Encounter" itself, joined the Citizen's Unity coalition formed by former president Cristina Fernández de Kirchner in the aftermath of Mauricio Macri's victory in the 2015 presidential election and the dissolution of the Front for Victory, rejoining its previous allied parties, but now as part of the pan-kirchnerist coalition. At the 2017 legislative election, the party (which ran under the Citizen's Unity list) got three of its members elected to the Chamber of Deputies: Hugo Yasky (chief of the Workers' Central Union), Mónica Macha, and Gabriela Cerruti.

Ideology

At the time of the party's foundation, Argentine media covering it and Sabatella himself described it as a "progressive" group, modelling itself after the Uruguayan Broad Front.

During his time in Congress, Sabbatella voted selectively in favor and against the Front for Victory government's proposed bills, and initially refused to explicitly align New Encounter with Cristina Fernández de Kirchner and her supporters in Congress. However, following Fernández de Kirchner's landslide victory in the 2011 presidential election, Sabbatella declared the party to be "[like] another leg of the kirchnerist table", meaning the party would officially become part of the government-aligned bloc without "losing its own identity".

At Transport for London and LB Camden's all new improved King's Cross Station York Way bus stop tonight passengers are still in the dark (see picture taken at 6.30pm, left). The bus stop should be lit making people waiting feel safer and enabling people to read the information to the rear of the shelter. But the lights have not been working since the stop on the new widened pavement was installed in October.
The problem has been reported to Transport for London and we'll report on how quickly it's now rectified.

Thank goodness for King's Boulevard meaning many residents further north no longer have to face the gauntlet of crowded bus stops, 'party-goers' and fumes up York Way. Are the parked bus drivers complying with the law against running their engines to keep the heating on this winter?
We have email correspondence from TfL stating that the lights at the stop have not been connected to a power supply since the stop was built so it is impossible for the lights ever to have worked. TfL states that the delay is due to Camden LBC requiring the required excavation, connection and reinstatement to take place in one day – doesn't seem an unreasonable requirement to me though and I don't understand why it should add to the delay.

Chippewa County is a county in the U.S. state of Minnesota. As of the 2020 census, the population was 12,598. Its county seat is Montevideo. The county was formed in 1862, and was organized in 1868.

History
Chippewa County was organized on March 5, 1868, after having been part of Renville County. The northern boundary change separating it from Swift County led to reorganization on February 18, 1870. The first three county commissioners, appointed by the governor, were Daniel S. Wilkins, Ole Thorson and M. Davidson. The county commissioners first met at Wilkins's cabin on January 9, 1869. Wilkins was appointed chairman of the board. The first officers appointed were J.D Baker as auditor; J.C. Eldred as register of deeds; Samuel J. Sargant as treasurer; George W. Daniels as judge of probate; Edward Alcorn as sheriff; J.D. Baker as superintendent of schools; Horace W. Griggs as coroner; George W. Frink as justice of the peace; and F.W. Palmer and M. Morris as constables.

County seat
Chippewa City was the first village to be laid out in Chippewa County. It was on the west side of the Chippewa River, just north of the confluence with the Minnesota River. Daniel S. Wilkins was the first settler to arrive in 1865, and he laid out Chippewa City in autumn 1868. Wilkins's cabin there was the location of the first county commissioners' meeting.

George W. Frink arrived in Chippewa County in 1867 and made claim to land on the east side of the Chippewa River, where he built a log house in Montevideo. With towns on both sides of the river, there was debate over which should be the county seat. L. R. Moyer reported that some men from Montevideo went to Chippewa City and took the county records, "lock, stock and barrel". They also stole the post office, and G. W. Fink was named postmaster. The state of Minnesota legalized the move and Montevideo remains the county seat.

Geography

The upper part of the county's western boundary is formed by the outline of Lac qui Parle reservoir, which was formed when the Minnesota River was dammed in 1939. The Minnesota River flows southeast from the lake, along the county's southwestern border, while the Chippewa River flows south through the western part of the county to discharge into the Minnesota at the county's southern border. The Dry Weather Creek drains the west-central part of the county into the Chippewa, while the Palmer Creek drains the lower central part of the county into the Minnesota near the county's southernmost point. The county terrain consists of low rolling hills, devoted to agriculture. The terrain generally slopes to the south, and locally to the river valleys. The county's highest point is near its southeastern corner, section 23 of Rheiderland Township, at 1,142' (348m)  The county has a total area of , of which  is land and  (1.1%) is water.

Winter… the dreaded time where productivity decreases, laziness increases, and the days are generally colder and darker, making it a lot less appealing to exercise.
Staying active all year round can be an intimidating task, especially when Mother Nature is not co-operating. This is why it is important to be involved in a community based exercise program where you can have friends to hold you accountable and cheer you on through the winter. Exercising throughout the year will help you to achieve a weather-proof, healthy lifestyle. When we exercise, our muscles change slowly and get stronger over time, which is why it is vitally important to keep up your fitness throughout the year, as opposed to exercising intensely in the summer and then doing nothing in the winter.
Knowing that activity levels drop in winter and we are naturally inclined to exercise less, this is one more reason to celebrate the 1st of September and the start of Spring!

Samsung to start Galaxy S5 mass production in January, 2014:Report
Posted by Sushil Kumar | Nov 30, 2013 | Internet & Media |
After the leak of Samsung Galaxy S5's metal frame last week, multiple reports coming in from South Korea are claiming that Samsung has set its eyes to start the mass production of the next generation Galaxy S5 smartphone sometime in January 2014 next year, and the smartphone would probably hit the stores in February or March of next year.
If a report published in ETnews is to be believed, Samsung is looking forward to introduce Galaxy S5 in two variants–one with metal body and curved display and another with plastic body and non-flexible AMOLED display. According to the report, Samsung Galaxy S5 will come featured with display size of 5-inch, a 64-bit Exynos octa-core processor, latest Android 4.4 KitKat, 16MP rear camera, 3GB of RAM and a powerful 4000 mAh battery.
The publication further indicates that Samsung will introduce next generation and successor of Galaxy Gear smartwatch along with Galaxy S5. The next generation Galaxy Gear is said to be thinner than the existing model and most-probably include more features. The company will initially be producing 800,000 to 1 million units of the phone, which is expected to increase to 8-10 million by March of 2014.
