Is getting to the gym and exercising part of your healthy New Year's Resolution to exercise? Many of us fall off the wagon over the holiday season and January can be the fresh start you're looking for to get back to the gym or start exercising again. Exercising has so many amazing befits from improving sleep, boosting energy, supporting a positive mood and maintaining a proper body weight. So let's roll up our sleeves and check out these 5 tips to help you be successful at keeping your New Year's Resolution to exercise in 2016.
1. Exercise- Love It, Don't Hate It!
Find a form of exercise that you will enjoy. If you're a social person, try joining a team sport like ultimate frisbee, basketball, dodgeball or volleyball or try out a new class at the gym. If you prefer to work out alone, try changing up your weight resistence workouts or running or jogging. Exercise is meant to be fun, so find the form of exercise that you find enjoyable and work-it-out!
Incorporating exercise into your daily routine can be a challenge at first if you're just starting. It's important to carve out a time in your day and "schedule" it in like you would your ND appointment or your dentist. Write it down in your agenda and check it off as the week goes by. If your not a morning person, don't try to force yourself to a 6am spin class, maybe try to go straight after work when you have more energy. If you're not a "gym" person, try using home videos or YouTube to access great workout videos that will have you sweating in no time! Check out the BeFiT Channel on YouTube for some great videos.
Sometimes motivation can be tricky, having a friend or co-worker to workout with can help keep you on track! Try walking at lunch with friends from work, finding a jogging partner or go to the gym with a family member.
Make sure to eat a breakfast high in protein and fibre. Protein and fibre are important at stabilizing blood sugar and help to keep you feeling fuller longer. This is the key to proper energy levels throughout the day instead of having energy levels that feel more like a roller coaster ride. The more energy you have, the more motivation you will have later into the day to help you stick to your exercise regimen. Try these protein rich egg muffins to start your morning off right!
No matter your fitness level, whenever you start a new fitness regimen, your muscles will likely be sore for a few days following your workout. It may be difficult to walk, pick up your smoothie cup (too many bicep curls or tricep dips) or sit when going to the bathroom (darn squats). Supporting your body post workout is essential to help muscle recovery. Try some of these tips to help you recover faster and get back to the gym.
Muscle is broken down during a workout, so try having a protein smoothie post workout to help re-build.
Try an epsom salt bath at night after your work out. Epsom salts are high in magnesium and will help to sooth and relax muscles.
Soreness means you've worked hard enough to get results, but we need to help that muscle re-build. L-Glutamine is an amino acid stored in the muscle and for proper muscle repair, you may need to supplement with L-Glutamine help speed up recovery time.
So stick with your New Year's Resolution to exercise and start feeling awesome again!

This is really a twofer. You can't lie to or deceive your participants and they must agree to participate. Often times this is accomplished by giving subjects an informed consent form which is basically a letter to the potential subject telling them what will happen to them, what risks they will be exposed to, and who they can contact if they have complaints or questions. There are exceptions to informed consent (e.g. you don't need it if you conduct research in a public place), but most of the time researchers must acquire informed consent before they can do their thing.
Simply put, researchers can not force their subjects to participate. While this may sound straight forward, it does bring up a host of issues. For instance, can I give you $5 for completing the survey? Probably, because that's not so large of an amount that a reasonable person would feel forced to participate. However, imagine I was to offer you $100,000 for a ten minute survey. Would you really be giving a fair opportunity to decline participation or is that ridiculous pile of cash a form of coercion? This also gets tricky when professors want to give their students extra credit. A prof couldn't give a student an A grade simply for participating; that's coercive.
Which of the three key aspects of ethical research did the Baltimore case violate? Well first and foremost they did harm, or at the very least allowed people to be harmed. Parents reported their children, after moving into the homes, developed learning disabilities and cognitive impairments. Second, if the researchers deceived the families by showing them reports that falsely claimed the homes were less contaminated than they actually were, then the families were not fully informed nor were they able to voluntarily give their consent to participate.
You may be thinking, as the researchers have argued, how else could this research have been done? However, if there is no ethical way to conduct a research study, that does not justify conducting unethical research. There are many things researchers would love to explore, but cannot because there is no ethical way to conduct the study. That's just how it goes in the social sciences.
Imagine that you want to find out how people react to finding out they've lost their jobs. Would it be ethical to go to their employer and have them pretend to fire them for an hour? If not, which of the three aspects of research ethics would this research violate and why?
Thinking about the lead paint research done in Baltimore. How could these researchers have conducted their study ethically and without endangering children? You can read all about the Baltimore study by clicking here.
Does your campus have a Institutional Review Board? Search your school's webpage and describe how a researcher goes about filing a research request.
A researcher is interested in who uses their hands more when talking, men or women? So she goes to a public park and counts the number of times men and women touch one other during conversation. She never asks for their consent nor does she even make it known that she is conducting research at all. Is this ethical? Why or why not? If you argue it's not, be sure to discuss which of the three aspects of ethical research she violated.

American Warrior | Ugly Ia Drang
by Frank Winn, Guns & Gear Editor - Wednesday, November 16, 2016
Photo credit: Wikipedia
If the average American of the present era knows one thing about the Vietnam War, it is quite likely an incorrect thing: That American support of non-Communist regimes in the South in the 1950s and '60s was overwhelmed by a popular "people's" revolution stemming from the undaunted but badly overmatched North.
"Jaundiced," however, is the most courteous description that could be granted this view nowadays. As declassification at home and a partial thawing of relationships and records abroad makes clear, the Vietnam conflict was merely a change of venue for international Communist adventurism (from the stalemated Korean gambit of the early '50s), and nearly every government in that sphere of influence contributed something to the war against the so-called U.S. "Imperialists." That the costs, consequences and duration were so great should have been no surprise, and likely would not have been except for a brilliant propaganda campaign contrived in Hanoi, and often forwarded by a duped and absurdly compliant Western media.
That the costs, consequences and duration were so great should have been no surprise …A second thing we're likely to know has a greater chance of being correct: It was a conflict of very few engagements of massed men and equipment of the type familiar from the World Wars or Korea. North Vietnam had a comparatively large and well-trained military in the wake of almost a decade of war with France (1946-54), but small, irregular units known as the Viet Cong prosecuted most of the war against South Vietnam and her American allies.
November 1965 proved a notable exception. In a part of then-South Vietnam along the Cambodian border known as the Central Highlands, three People's Army of Vietnam (PAVN, or more commonly NVA) regiments were preparing assaults on Special Forces bases in the region. October had seen a concerted effort against such a base at Plei Me. The weeklong siege of the camp was broken by South Vietnamese forces and U.S. airstrikes, but the intentions of the NVA were clear—to keep control of the Central Highlands as a staging area fed by the Ho Chi Minh Trail. From there, attacks southward toward the capital in Saigon and eastward to the South China Sea could cut the South in half.
United States Army leaders thought they had a solution—air mobile troops. Poor roads in the Central Highlands had worked to the advantage of Communist forces a decade before in their war with the French; indeed, the last engagement of consequence was the almost complete loss of Groupe Mobile 100 in June 1954. U.S. commanders believed that helicopter-borne troops supported by artillery and airstrikes could attack with speed and precision that the mostly road-bound South Vietnamese forces could not emulate.
Dubbing themselves "Air Cav," the 1st Battalion, 7th Cavalry arrived in South Vietnam in July 1965. When intelligence indicated a second attack on Plei Me was being planned and staged, Lt. Col. Harold "Hal" Moore was ordered into Ia Drang. At 10:48 a.m. on Nov. 14, 1965, Col. Moore and the first of his 450 men set down at LZ X-Ray, one of seven Moore had identified in the Ia Drang Valley.U.S. commanders believed that helicopter-borne troops supported by artillery and airstrikes could attack with speed and precision …
The next five days would see some of the most brutal fighting of the entire war. Technology was certainly on the side of the Americans: In half-hour circuits, Air Cav UH-1 "Huey" pilots delivered all of Moore's troopers from the 1/7th, and later those of the 2/7th (under Lt. Col. Robert McDade) and of the 2/5th (under Lt. Col. Bub Tully, landing at LZ Victor) in relief. Hundreds of helicopter sorties brought ammunition and other supplies in, and air lifted the wounded out. Eventual Medal of Honor winners Captain Ed Freeman (his Distinguished Flying Cross was upgraded in 2002) and Major Bruce Crandall (his Distinguished Service Cross was upgraded in 2007) continued to do so even after the LZs were "closed." It's unlikely Moore and his men would have survived the first night—perhaps at all—without their heroism.
Numbers decidedly favored the NVA. Artillery and air support had cost them most of their heavy equipment, but in a tactic that was to become gruesomely familiar, they resorted to "human wave" attacks. In multiple places against sparse American lines, these were successful. On the morning of Nov. 15, Lt. Col. Moore ordered his Air Force forward air controller to transmit the code phrase "broken arrow," which signaled their position as overrun. Air and in-range artillery support were now pre-emptively tasked to LZ X-Ray with telling effect, unfortunately including a napalm strike that erroneously hit Moore's command post. Several soldiers were wounded and killed.
After three more days, Ia Drang resolved to a draw. American Commander General William Westmoreland and NVA Commander Colonel Nguyen Huu An both claimed success for their forces. In the short term, the North Vietnamese were thwarted in a renewed attempt on Plei Me and similar posts in the Highlands, and their casualties were ghastly. Communist forces in the region were not reconstituted until well into 1966. The U.S. Army used new tactics and performed splendidly under terrible conditions, but was unable to drive the enemy completely from the field.
The government of Vietnam simply does not know how many Communist fighters it lost …Both sides took larger lessons from the battle as well. The NVA learned to close with their adversary as rapidly as possible—only the risk of friendly fire casualties could stop increasingly precise application of both artillery and aircraft-delivered weapons. The doctrine was a successful one in the last analysis, though horrible in cost: The government of Vietnam simply does not know how many Communist fighters it lost—at least 440,000, perhaps as many as a 1.1 million.
In its turn, air mobility became a devastating hallmark of U.S. warfare. It too, came with a high price tag—a bloody, close-up and deeply sobering look at a determined adversary who they would face for the next seven and a half years.
With the maelstrom brewing at home, helicopters and astonishing heroism abroad would prove unequal to the task.
Author's Note: The story of the Battle of Ia Drang is the complex and engrossing subject of a fine book and even rarer fine Hollywood film. We Were Soldiers Once … and Young was written by Lt. Gen. Harold Moore and UPI photographer Joe Galloway (who was present during much of the battle) and published in 1992. The movie, starring Mel Gibson and Sam Elliot, was released in 2002. We had the rare opportunity—hard to call it a "pleasure"—of seeing it for the first time with a veteran of the air war and a Vietnam-era prisoner of war, USAF Brigadier General David W. Winn. His impression of the film was indelible, and a recommendation far beyond anything we could muster: "Makes my war not seem like much."

Bradford's art is concerned with cities, racial identity, history and injustice. It is mainly created from everyday or discarded materials, from torn-down sheets of billstuck posters and the loose flyers of run-down urban neighborhoods. The artist is well-known for his practice of interacting with the materials he employs: tearing; sanding; rubbing down surfaces to visit a patina of wear upon them, part-metaphor for decay, part-pure abstraction and revelry in the surface of those materials.
"Think about all the white noise out there in the streets: all the beepers and blaring culture—cell phones, amps, chromed-out wheels, and synthesizers. I pick up a lot of that energy in my work, from the posters, which act as memory of things pasted and things past. You can peel away the layers of papers and it's like reading the streets through signs."
A cerebral man from South Central in Los Angeles, Bradford is now in his mid-50s. He did not formally study art until he was in his 30s, his degree from California Institute of the Arts taking him away from the hairdressing salon owned by his mother where he had worked, and which later became his studio. Bradford no doubt studied, and seems to have taken to heart, the teachings of black philosopher Alain Locke, the key figure of the Harlem Renaissance in the 1920s. Locke told black artists to advance themselves, and moreover to achieve that by adopting modernist forms which would integrate their art with that of their white rivals. At a time when one wonders whether much progress has been made at all over the matter of race in America, Bradford has serenely risen to the highest levels of his practice, and has done so not by trying to blend in, but by creating an individual abstraction from the materials of black culture.
Political references in Bradford's art are overt, the viewer clued in by the title: "Scorched Earth" of 2006, ostensibly a response to the American war in Iraq, but recalling the burning of a black neighborhood in Tulsa in 1921 by a mob of white men. "Corner of Desire and Piety" is a location in New Orleans which can't exist as the streets of Desire and Piety run parallel to each other, this impossibility being a comparison to the unsustainable situation many black families found themselves in following Hurricane Katrina and the terrible subsequent lack of government aid.
Bradford's art can be observed on many levels: the works can be enjoyed purely as abstract creations, the political pointers simply ignored. When the artist termed himself "post-black", this is one of the facets of what was meant by that.

From the #1 bestselling author of Hello, is this Planet Earth? and Ask an Astronaut
'What surprised me was how entirely serene I felt. I was weightless, no forces exerting themselves on my body. To my left was the Space Station. Below me, gradually going into shadow, was the Earth. And over my right shoulder was the universe.'
In fascinating and personal detail, and drawing on exclusive diaries and audio recordings from his mission, astronaut Tim Peake takes readers closer than ever before to experience what life in space is really like: the sights, the smells, the fear, the sacrifice, the exhilaration and the deep and abiding wonder of the view.

Tim's extensive eighteen-year career in the Army included the command of a platoon of soldiers in Northern Ireland during the Troubles, deployment in Bosnia, and operations in Afghanistan.
Full of life lessons for readers of all ages, Limitless is the story of how ordinary can become extraordinary.
'For someone who has literally been out of this world Tim's an incredibly down to earth guy and I think you'll be amazed at some of the things he has done ... it's so inspiring to know that even going into space didn't change him as much as being a parent did' JOE WICKS

A Little Hatred
The Age of Madness: Book 1
War. Politics. Revolution.
The Age of Madness has arrived...
The chimneys of industry rise over Adua and the world seethes with new opportunities. But old scores run deep as ever.
On the blood-soaked borders of Angland, Leo dan Brock struggles to win fame on the battlefield, and defeat the marauding armies of Stour Nightfall. He hopes for help from the crown. But King Jezal's son, the feckless Prince Orso, is a man who specialises in disappointments.
Savine dan Glokta - socialite, investor, and daughter of the most feared man in the Union - plans to claw her way to the top of the slag-heap of society by any means necessary. But the slums boil over with a rage that all the money in the world cannot control.
The age of the machine dawns, but the age of magic refuses to die. With the help of the mad hillwoman Isern-i-Phail, Rikke struggles to control the blessing, or the curse, of the Long Eye. Glimpsing the future is one thing, but with the guiding hand of the First of the Magi still pulling the strings, changing it will be quite another...
The Trouble with Peace
A fragile peace gives way to conspiracy, betrayal, and rebellion...
Peace is just another kind of battlefield...
Savine dan Glokta, once Adua's most powerful investor, finds her judgement, fortune and reputation in tatters. But she still has all her ambitions, and no scruple will be permitted to stand in her way.
For heroes like Leo dan Brock and Stour Nightfall, only happy with swords drawn, peace is an ordeal to end as soon as possible. But grievances must be nursed, power seized, and allies gathered first, while Rikke must master the power of the Long Eye... before it kills her.
Unrest worms into every layer of society. The Breakers still lurk in the shadows, plotting to free the common man from his shackles, while noblemen bicker for their own advantage. Orso struggles to find a safe path through the maze of knives that is politics, only for his enemies, and his debts, to multiply.
The old ways are swept aside, and the old leaders with them, but those who would seize the reins of power will find no alliance, no friendship, and no peace lasts forever.
The Wisdom of Crowds
Chaos. Fury. Destruction.
The Great Change is upon us...
Some say that to change the world you must first burn it down. Now that belief will be tested in the crucible of revolution: the Breakers and Burners have seized the levers of power, the smoke of riots has replaced the smog of industry, and all must submit to the wisdom of crowds.
With nothing left to lose, Citizen Brock is determined to become a new hero for the new age, while Citizeness Savine must turn her talents from profit to survival before she can claw her way to redemption. Orso will find that when the world is turned upside down, no one is lower than a monarch. And in the bloody North, Rikke and her fragile Protectorate are running out of allies... while Black Calder gathers his forces and plots his vengeance.
The banks have fallen, the sun of the Union has been torn down, and in the darkness behind the scenes, the threads of the Weaver's ruthless plan are slowly being drawn together...

Robert de Niro Becomes the Head Coach for 'Lombardi'
Robert de Niro Becomes the Head Coach for Lombardi
A legend of the silver screen is gearing up to play an NFL coaching legend in a new biopic. According to the Risky Business Blog, Robert De Niro has signed on to play Green Bay Packers coach Vince Lombardi in a new biopic simply titled Lombardi.
Forrest Gump screenwriter Eric Roth is writing the script for the film, which is being developed by ESPN Films, Andell Entertainment and the NFL itself. De Niro will also produce along with his Tribeca Productions partner Jane Rosenthal. The film will focus on the years that Lombardi took over the Green Bay Packers and turned them into NFL champions.
"There are few actors who could accurately portray the fire, passion and grit of Lombardi, and we're thrilled to have Robert De Niro on our team," said Charles Coplin, the NFL's vice president programming. "With the addition of De Niro, Eric and Tribeca Prods., we have a deep bench to produce a film worthy of the legendary coach and American icon."
It was said that the producers planned to release the film in 2012, between the AFC and NFC conference championship games and the Super Bowl.


"Pennsylvania Avenue between the White House and the U.S. Capitol is a major symbol of our nation's capital. However, today's Avenue shows wear and tear from increased event uses, aging infrastructure, and jurisdictional challenges.
To develop a vision for the future of Pennsylvania Avenue, the National Capital Planning Commission, in partnership with the General Services Administration and the National Park Service, is launching the Pennsylvania Avenue Initiative. This study will help identify existing challenges as well as near- and long-term opportunities along the Avenue and vicinity. It will also identify the future role of the Avenue to meet the needs of a 21st century capital city.
This initial public workshop will provide members of the public an opportunity to learn about the initiative and provide feedback on what they view as priorities for Pennsylvania Avenue as its local and national roles continue to evolve.

ALFRED HILL (1870-1960) AUSTRALIAN GOLDEN AGE ROMANTIC
FOUR COMPACT DISCS FROM MARCO POLO
Six Symphonies, Three Quartets and a sprinkling of shorter orchestral genre pieces.
Alfred Hill (not to be confused with another worthwhile romantic, the American, Edward Burlinghame Hill) was born in Melbourne in 1870 and came from a musical family. From 1887-1891 he studied in Leipzig with Hans Sitt, Gustav Schreck and Hans Paul. He played under the baton of Carl Reinecke at the Gewandhaus where he was also an orchestral player at concerts conducted by Brahms and Tchaikovsky.
In 1892 he went to New Zealand to become conductor of the Wellington Choral Society. There he wrote various Maori-themed works including the Maori Symphony (No. 1). From 1896-1902 he was based in Sydney but went to back to NZ in 1906 and 1907 to direct his Maori opera Tapu. From this point forwards he seems to have been predominantly a voice in Australian musical culture although still a presence and visitor to New Zealand. He was extremely active in the production of operas (perhaps we will hear them sometime) and his Waiata Poi sung by Australian singer Peter Dawson became a world-wide hit on 78.
His complement of works includes 17 string quartets (mostly dating from the 1930s) and thirteen symphonies (arrangements, largely of the quartets). The symphonies were completed during the period 1941-1960.
It might be helpful to provide a chronology of these to help place them:-

No. 1 Maori 1896-1900 original work
No. 2 ? ?
No. 3 Australia 1951 String Quartet No. 14 (1937)
No. 4 Pursuit of Happiness 1955 ?
No. 5 Carnival 1955 String Quartet (1912)
No. 6 Celtic 1956 String Quartet (1938)
No. 7 1956 String Quartet No. 10 (1935)

No. 9 Melodious 1957 ?
No. 10 Short 1958 String Quartet (1938)
No. 11 1958 ?
No. 12 1959? ?
Perhaps the New Grove (due for publication in 2001?) will redress matters however if you go to the 1954 Grove you will find not a single mention of any Hill symphony. The entry is woefully inadequate.
Hill's music seems to me to fall into two stylistic camps. First, in the symphonies (most of which are arrangements of his own string quartets) the voices of Schumann, Mendelssohn, Goetz and Bruch are predominant. This can be unnerving given the dates of composition but should not hinder enjoyment. After all what does it matter WHEN a piece was written. The importance of originality (read new-ness) of music is rather over-stated. What matters is what is said rather than the medium for its saying. Would the pleasure given by one of these symphonies played without announcement (The Innocent Ear) diminish when we learn, after hearing it, that it was written 60 or more years after the language used was the common currency. Secondly, in his smaller tone poems, he leans into an impressionistic vein. Just occasionally the two styles collide and it is at moments like this that parallels with the Dane Rued Langgaard - another composer much given to anachronistic style - leaps to mind.
The notes for this Marco Polo series are good though some resort to technicality. The sound quality is fine even in the early DDD tapes of Symphonies 4 and 6.

Hill's 17 quartets cover the years 1912-1938. Hill learnt his chamber technique as a member of the Austral Quartet (floreat 1911). The quartets are on this evidence and the evidence of another (No. 2 The Maori - yes another one with that title) I have on tape, works of Mendelssohnian charm and Schumann-lit romance. The evidently loving performances are warmly crafted and anyone who is keen on the Dvorák quartets must hear this disc. The third movements of Numbers 5 and 6 are of gem like suspense - like the parallel movement in the Schubert Quintet. Only in No. 11 (in this collection) does a Delian or Grieg-like sun shine lambently through the writing.

The conductor, Wilfred Lehmann, was born in Melbourne and secured his career initially as a concert-master. In this capacity he spent ten years with the Tokyo PO and the Tokyo Metropolitan SO. He conducts the Australian orchestras and tours widely. On the showing of the three Marco Polo CDs he is a committed advocate of Hill's music.
Despite the back cover of the CD each movement of the symphonies is separately banded. No. 4 is dedicated to the Austrian émigré conductor Henry Krips (who recorded Hill's Australia symphony in the 1950s). This is a work of sunny aspect dotted with quotations from William Morris and Bernard Russell. The first movement is romantically rounded and contented with the air of early Delius about it. The tense ghostly strings at 3.20 are worth noting. The second movement reminded me of the lighter Elgar (Wand of Youth) and a little of Tchaikovsky. The finale darts and sprints as in the Mendelssohn Octet or Midsummer Night's Dream, music. There is a chipper oboe song which may remind you of a similar tune from Dvorák's New World.
The Celtic Symphony is about as Gaelic as Stanford's Irish or Amy Beach's Gaelic - i.e. not very. There is a slow introduction, countryside dawn chorus (Beethoven Pastoral) and some Irish jiggery. The second movement is low key and uses an Irish folk song. The third movement reels back into an Irish jig and the finale takes me back to the Sullivan Irish Symphony with a Mendelssohnian wink and a nod.
Despite the Hovhaness-like title Sacred Mountain is still somewhat old-fashioned but rather more 'modern' than the symphonies. A filmic tendency can be discerned in music of open romance and Korngoldian glamour. There is even a lush violin solo.
ALFRED HILL Symphony No. 3 Australia (1951) [27.00] Symphony No. 7 (1956) [20.30] The Moon's Golden Horn [5.25] The Lost Hunter [13.16] Queensland SO/Wilfred Lehmann rec Brisbane 1-12 Feb 1993 MARCO POLO 8.223537 [67.09]
This is the most generous of the four discs and the CD that you should try first.
The Australia Symphony was recorded by Australian EMI on OALP 7524 with the Sydney SO conducted by Henry Krips. This was a tape of a concert performance given on 16 December 1959 on Hill's 89th birthday. Hill was to die the following year. The symphony is in four movements the first of which takes Schumann (Symphonies 1 and 2) and Tchaikovsky (Symphony 5) as models in music of elegant and romantic ease. The adagio is of an eerie beauty while the third movement (Arnhem Land - Hill's wife Mirrie wrote a whole symphony with this title and this too was performed by Henry Krips and the Sydney SO) is alternately stirring and dreamily wandering in the manner of Tchaikovsky 4. The finale has a silvery lunar romance and bubbling vitality with fine work for the strings.
The Seventh Symphony's first movement is glowingly romantic and of a long-lying thematic richness. Hill was clearly a most fastidious orchestrator as there is never any blur; instead we are treated to music of Elysian tenderness. The second movement is redolent of Grieg (The Last Spring). The bustling presto third movement is Brahmsian and playful. The fourth movement chuckles with Brahmsian bustle and even a most unusual hint of Franz Schmidt (Hussar Song).
The Lost Hunter is light on the aural palate and its opening bars resound to ppp fanfares echoing around the glistening ramparts of morning. Here he seems to have cast off Schumann and instead resorted to a languid nature mysticism not so far a remove from Bax's Spring Fire. Karelia's alla marcia is suggested by the lithe music at 5.00 and Richard Strauss in the jollity of the final five minutes. The Moon's Golden Horn might well be described as Leipzig impressionism: somewhat of a static idyll of quietly simmering ecstasy.

Crotche
The brevity of his works helps with the general impression of Hill's music being of perfectly judged balance.
Carnival runs the gamut from Italianate raciness and Verdian elan through Venetian crowds and midnight fireworks, to the grave pavane of the third movement and the Massenet-like snap (think of the music for El Cid) of the finale. No. 10 gives us a slow Mendelssohnian introduction, a Bruchian adagio of warm fragrant romance and a final allegretto that is a distant relation of the prestos from the Italian or Scotch symphonies.
The four short works are less old-fashioned (if that is important). Night Falls is of gentle demeanour sharing atmosphere with Dvorák's Serenade for Strings. Reverie has clouds floating contentedly through a moon-illumined sky. Regrets is a romantic flood teetering on the edge of Khachaturyan's Phrygia Adagio from Spartacus while Tribute to a Musician has Brahmsian warmth, tranquillity and no violence whatsoever. A complete 79 minutes of these orchestral miniatures by Hill (there are a lot more!) would make a very acceptable CD.
Works written in an established and non-revolutionary manner. High craftsmanship. Singable tunes. Good performances. Good atmosphere. Light on dark drama. Will be enjoyed by admirers of Schumann, Mendelssohn, Dvorák and Delius.

Trespass is an area of tort law broadly divided into three groups: trespass to the person, trespass to chattels, and trespass to land.

Trespass to the person historically involved six separate trespasses: threats, assault, battery, wounding, mayhem (or maiming), and false imprisonment. Through the evolution of the common law in various jurisdictions, and the codification of common law torts, most jurisdictions now broadly recognize three trespasses to the person: assault, which is "any act of such a nature as to excite an apprehension of battery"; battery, "any intentional and unpermitted contact with the plaintiff's person or anything attached to it and practically identified with it"; and false imprisonment, the "  or  of freedom from restraint of movement".

Trespass to chattel does not require a showing of damages. Simply the "intermeddling with or use of … the personal property" of another gives cause of action for trespass. Since CompuServe Inc. v. Cyber Promotions, Inc., various courts have applied the principles of trespass to chattel to resolve cases involving unsolicited bulk e-mail and unauthorized server usage.

Trespass to land is today the tort most commonly associated with the term trespass; it takes the form of "wrongful interference with one's possessory rights in [real] property". Generally, it is not necessary to prove harm to a possessor's legally protected interest; liability for unintentional trespass varies by jurisdiction. " common law, every unauthorized entry upon the soil of another was a trespasser"; however, under the tort scheme established by the Restatement of Torts, liability for unintentional intrusions arises only under circumstances evincing negligence or where the intrusion involved a highly dangerous activity.

Trespass has also been treated as a common law offense in some countries.

Trespass to the person
There are three types of trespass, the first of which is trespass to the person. Whether intent is a necessary element of trespass to the person varies by jurisdiction. Under English decision, Letang v Cooper, intent is required to sustain a trespass to the person cause of action; in the absence of intent, negligence is the appropriate tort. In other jurisdictions, gross negligence is sufficient to sustain a trespass to the person, such as when a defendant negligently operates an automobile and strikes the plaintiff with great force. "Intent is to be presumed from the act itself." Generally, and as defined by Goff LJ in Collins v Wilcock, trespass to the person consists of three torts: assault, battery, and false imprisonment.

Assault

Under the statutes of various common law jurisdictions, assault is both a crime and a tort. Generally, a person commits criminal assault if he purposely, knowingly, or recklessly inflicts bodily injury upon another; if he negligently inflicts bodily injury upon another by means of dangerous weapon; or if through physical menace, he places another in fear of imminent serious bodily injury. A person commits tortious assault when he engages in "any act of such a nature as to excite an apprehension of battery [bodily injury]". In some jurisdictions, there is no requirement that actual physical violence result—simply the "threat of unwanted touching of the victim" suffices to sustain an assault claim. Consequently, in R v Constanza, the court found a stalker's threats could constitute assault. Similarly, silence, given certain conditions, may constitute an assault as well. However, in other jurisdictions, simple threats are insufficient; they must be accompanied by an action or condition to trigger a cause of action.

Incongruity of a defendant's language and action, or of a plaintiff's perception and reality may vitiate an assault claim. In Tuberville v Savage, the defendant reached for his sword and told the plaintiff that " it were not assize-time, I would not take such language from you". In its American counterpart, Commonwealth v. Eyre, the defendant shouted " it were not for your gray hairs, I would tear your heart out". In both cases, the courts held that despite a threatening gesture, the plaintiffs were not in immediate danger. The actions must give the plaintiff a reasonable expectation that the defendant is going to use violence; a fist raised before the plaintiff may suffice; the same fist raised behind the window of a police cruiser will not.

Battery

Battery is "any intentional and unpermitted contact with the plaintiff's person or anything attached to it and practically identified with it". The elements of battery common law varies by jurisdiction. In the United States, the American Law Institute's Restatement of Torts provides a general rule to determine liability for battery:

Battery torts under Commonwealth precedent are subjected to a four point test to determine liability:

 Directness. Is the sequence of events connecting initial conduct and the harmful contact an unbroken series?
 Intentional Act. Was the harmful contact the conscious object of the defendant? Did the defendant intend to cause the resulting harm? Though the necessity of intent remains an integral part of Commonwealth battery, some Commonwealth jurisdictions have moved toward the American jurisprudence of "substantial certainty". If a reasonable person in the defendant's position would apprehend the substantial certainty of the consequences of his actions, whether the defendant intended to inflict the injuries is immaterial.
 Bodily Contact. Was there active (as opposed to passive) contact between the bodies of the plaintiff and the defendant?
 Consent. Did the plaintiff consent to the harmful contact? The onus is on the defendant to establish sufficient and effective consent.

False imprisonment

False imprisonment is defined as "  or  of freedom from restraint of movement". In some jurisdictions, false imprisonment is a tort of strict liability: no intention on the behalf of the defendant is needed, but others require an intent to cause the confinement. Physical force, however, is not a necessary element, and confinement need not be lengthy;
the restraint must be complete, though the defendant needn't resist.

Conveniently, the American Law Institute's Restatement (Second) of Torts distills false imprisonment liability analysis into a four-prong test:

 The defendant intends to confine the plaintiff. (This is not necessary in Commonwealth jurisdictions.)
 The plaintiff is conscious of the confinement. (Prosser rejects this requirement.)
 The plaintiff does not consent to the confinement.
 The confinement was not otherwise privileged.

Defenses

Child correction
Depending on the jurisdiction, corporal punishment of children by parents or instructors may be a defense to trespass to the person, so long as the punishment was "reasonably necessary under the circumstances to discipline a child who has misbehaved" and the defendant " prudence and restraint". Unreasonable punishments, such as violently grabbing a student's arm and hair, have no defense. Many jurisdictions, however, limit corporal punishment to parents, and a few, such as New Zealand, have criminalized the practice.

Consent

Perhaps the most common defense for the torts of trespass to the person is that of volenti non fit injuria, literally, "to a willing person, no injury is done", but shortened to "consensual privilege" or "consent". If a plaintiff participates in a sporting activity in which physical contact is ordinary conduct, such as rugby, they are considered to have consented. This is not the case if the physical contact went beyond what could be expected, such as the use of hand gun during a fistfight, as in Andrepont v. Naquin, or where the injuries were suffered not from the plaintiff's participation in the sport but inadequate safety measures taken, as in Watson v British Boxing Board of Control Ltd. Where the plaintiff and defendant voluntarily agree to participate in a fight, some jurisdictions will deny relief in civil action, so long as the injuries caused are proportionate: "in an ordinary fight with fists there is no cause of action to either of [the combatants] for any injury suffered". Other jurisdictions refuse to recognize consent as a defense to mutual combat and instead provide relief under the doctrine of comparative negligence.

Medical care gives rise to many claims of trespass to the person. A physician, "treating a mentally competent adult under non-emergency circumstances, cannot properly undertake to perform surgery or administer other therapy without the prior consent of his patient". Should he do so, he commits a trespass to the person and is liable to damages. However, if the plaintiff is informed by a doctor of the broad risks of a medical procedure, there will be no claim under trespass against the person for resulting harm caused; the plaintiff's agreement constitutes "informed consent". In those cases where the patient does not possess sufficient mental capacity to consent, doctors must exercise extreme caution. In F v West Berkshire Health Authority, the House of Lords instructed British physicians that, to justify operating upon such an individual, there "(1) must … be a necessity to act when it is not practicable to communicate with the assisted person ... [and] (2) the action taken must be such as a reasonable person would in all the circumstances take, acting in the best interests of the assisted person".

Self-defense / defense of others / defense of property
Self-defense, or non-consensual privilege, is a valid defense to trespasses against the person, assuming that it constituted the use of "reasonable force which they honestly and reasonably believe is necessary to protect themselves or someone else, or property". The force used must be proportionate to the threat, as ruled in Cockcroft v Smith.

Trespass to goods

Trespass to chattels (also known as trespass to goods or trespass to personal property) is defined as "an intentional interference with the possession of personal property...proximately  injury". While originally a remedy for the asportation of personal property, the tort grew to incorporate any interference with the personal property of another. In some jurisdictions, such as the United Kingdom, trespass to chattels has been codified to clearly define the scope of the remedy; in most jurisdictions, trespass to chattel remains a purely common law remedy, the scope of which varies by jurisdiction.

Generally, trespass to chattels possesses three elements:

 Lack of consent. The interference with the property must be non-consensual. A claim does not lie if, in acquiring the property, the purchaser consents contractually to certain access by the seller. " use exceeding the consent" authorized by the contract, should it cause harm, gives rise to a cause for action.
 Actual harm. The interference with the property must result in actual harm. The threshold for actual harm varies by jurisdiction. In California, for instance, an electronic message may constitute a trespass if the message interferes with the functioning of the computer hardware, but the plaintiff must prove that this interference caused actual hardware damage or actual impaired functioning.
 Intentionality. The interference must be intentional. What constitutes intention varies by jurisdiction, however, the Restatement (Second) of Torts indicates that "intention is present when an act is done for the purpose of using or otherwise intermeddling with a chattel or with knowledge that such an intermeddling will, to a substantial certainty, result from the act", and continues: " is not necessary that the actor should know or have reason to know that such intermeddling is a violation of the possessory rights of another".

Remedies for trespass to chattel include damages, liability for conversion, and injunction, depending on the nature of the interference.

Traditional applications
Trespass to chattels typically applies to tangible property and allows the owner of such property to seek relief when a third party intentionally interferes or intermeddles in the owner's possession of his personal property. "Interference" is often interpreted as the "taking" or "destroying" of goods, but can be as minor as "touching" or "moving" them in the right circumstances. In Kirk v Gregory, the defendant moved jewelry from one room to another, where it was stolen. The deceased owner's executor successfully sued her for trespass to chattel. Furthermore, personal property, as traditionally construed, includes living objects, except where property interests are restricted by law. Thus animals are personal property, but organs are not.

Modern US applications

In recent years, trespass to chattels has been expanded in the United States to cover intangible property, including combating the proliferation of unsolicited bulk email as well as virtual property interests in online worlds. In the late 1990s, American courts enlarged trespass to chattels, first to include the unauthorized use of long distance telephone lines, and later to include unsolicited bulk email. In 1998, a federal court in Virginia held that the owner of a marketing company committed trespass to chattels against an Internet service provider's computer network by sending 60 million unauthorized email advertisements after being notified that the spam was unauthorized. In America Online, Inc. v. LCGM, Inc., AOL successfully sued a pornographic website for spamming AOL customers and forging the AOL domain name to trick customers. By the new millennium, trespass to chattel expanded beyond bulk email. In eBay v. Bidder's Edge, a California court ruled that Bidder's Edge's use of a web crawler to cull auction information from eBay's website constituted trespass to chattel and further, that a plaintiff in such a suit need not prove that the interference was substantial. A number of similar cases followed until, in Intel v. Hamidi, the Supreme Court of California held that a plaintiff must demonstrate either actual interference with the physical functionality of the computer system or the likelihood that such interference would occur in the future. The Hamidi decision quickly found acceptance at both the federal and state level.

To date, no United States court has identified property rights in items acquired in virtual worlds; heretofore, virtual world providers have relied on end-user license agreements to govern user behavior. Nevertheless, as virtual worlds grow, incidents of property interference, a form of "griefing", may make trespass to chattel an attractive remedy for deleted, stolen, or corrupted virtual property.

Trespass to land

Trespass to land involves the "wrongful interference with one's possessory rights in [real] property." It is not necessary to prove that harm was suffered to bring a claim, and is instead actionable per se. While most trespasses to land are intentional, British courts have held liability holds for trespass committed negligently. Similarly, some American courts will find liability for unintentional intrusions only where such intrusions arise under circumstances evincing negligence or involve a highly dangerous activity. Exceptions exist for entering land adjoining a road unintentionally (such as in a car accident), as in River Wear Commissioners v Adamson. In some jurisdictions, trespass while in possession of a firearm, which may include a low-power air weapon without ammunition, constitutes a more grave crime of armed trespass.

Subsoil and airspace
Aside from the surface, land includes the subsoil, airspace and anything permanently attached to the land, such as houses, and other infrastructure, this is literally explained by the legal maxim quicquid plantatur solo, solo cedit.

Subsoil
William Blackstone's Commentaries on the Laws of England articulated the common law principle cuius est solum eius est usque ad coelum et ad inferos, translating from Latin as "for whoever owns the soil, it is theirs up to Heaven and down to Hell." In modern times, courts have limited the right of absolute dominion over the subsurface. For instance, drilling a directional well that bottoms out beneath another's property to access oil and gas reserves is trespass, but a subsurface invasion by hydraulic fracturing is not. Where mineral rights are severed from surface ownership, it is trespass to use another's surface to assist in mining the minerals beneath that individual's property, but, where an emergency responder accesses the subsurface following a blowout and fire, no trespass lies. Even the possible subsurface migration of toxic waste stored underground is not trespass, except where the plaintiff can demonstrate that the actions "actually interfere with the [owner's] reasonable and foreseeable use of the " or, in some jurisdictions, that the subsurface trespasser knows with "substantial certainty" that the toxic liquids will migrate to the neighboring land...

Airspace

However, domain of landowners over airspace is limited to the lower atmosphere; in United States v. Causby et ux. landowner domain was limited to the space below , Justice Douglas reasoned that, should it find in the landowners' favor and accept the "ancient doctrine that at common law ownership of land  to the periphery of the universe—Cujus est solum ejus est usque ad " "every transcontinental flight would subject the operator to countless trespass  suits." Citizens have a right to fly in the "navigable airspace" Thirty one years later, in Bernstein of Leigh v Skyviews & General Ltd, an English court reached a similar conclusion, finding an action for trespass failed because the violation of airspace took place several hundred meters above the land: " the latin  maxim were applied literally it would lead to the absurdity of trespass being committed every time a satellite passed over a suburban garden."

Interference
The main element of the tort is "interference". This must be both direct and physical, with indirect interference instead being covered by negligence or nuisance. "Interference" covers any physical entry to land, as well as the abuse of a right of entry, when a person who has the right to enter the land does something not covered by the permission. If the person has the right to enter the land but remains after this right expires, this is also trespass. It is also a trespass to throw anything on the land. For the purposes of trespass, the person who owns the land on which a road rests is treated as the owner; it is not, however, a trespass to use that road if the road is constructed with a public use easement, or if, by owner acquiescence or through adverse possession, the road has undergone a common law dedication to the public. In Hickman v Maisey and Adams v. Rivers, the courts established that any use of a road that went beyond using it for its normal purpose could constitute a trespass: " a land owner's property rights may be  to the right of mere passage, the owner of the soil is still absolute master."
British courts have broadened the rights encompassed by public easements in recent years. In DPP v Jones, the court ruled that "the public highway is a public place which the public may enjoy for any reasonable purpose, providing that the activity in question does not amount to a public or private nuisance and does not obstruct the highway by reasonably impeding the primary right of the public to pass and repass; within these qualifications there is a public right of peaceful assembly on the highway." The principles established in Adams remain valid in American law.

Defenses
There are several defenses to trespass to land; license, justification by law, necessity and jus tertii. License is express or implied permission, given by the possessor of land, to be on that land. These licenses are generally revocable unless there is contractual agreement preventing them being revoked. Once revoked, a license-holder becomes a trespasser if they remain on the land. Justification by law refers to those situations in which there is statutory authority permitting a person to go onto land, such as the England and Wales' Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984, which allows the police to enter land for the purposes of carrying out an arrest, or the California state constitution, which permits protests on grocery stores and strip malls, despite their presenting a general nuisance to store owners and patrons. Jus tertii is where the defendant can prove that the land is not possessed by the plaintiff, but by a third party, as in Doe d Carter v Barnard. This defense is unavailable if the plaintiff is a tenant and the defendant a landlord who had no right to give the plaintiff his lease (e.g., an illegal apartment rental, an unauthorized sublet, etc.). Necessity is the situation in which it is vital to commit the trespass; in Esso Petroleum Co v Southport Corporation, the captain of a ship committed trespass by allowing oil to flood a shoreline. This was necessary to protect his ship and crew, however, and the defense of necessity was accepted. Necessity does not, however, permit a defendant to enter another's property when alternative, though less attractive, courses of action exist.

Credit Unions Offer Educators Ways to Teach Financial Literacy to Students
Young peopple who are financially literate become stakeholders in society, according to Suzanne Klenk of the Washington State Employees Credit Union. (pixabay)
SEATTLE – It can sometimes be hard to teach students the importance of understanding how to manage their personal finances.
So, at America's Credit Union Conference next month in Seattle, credit unions are reaching out to give Washington educators the resources to teach financial literacy to the next generation.
Jamie Dedmon, managing director of the Northwest Credit Union Association, says the program will help teachers fill a gap in the curriculum on personal finances.
"The teachers definitely know this is something that their students need, and they have been unable to provide them," she states.
The aim of the course is to give teachers the means to instruct students how to manage everything from savings accounts to student loans after college.
Teachers will receive kits put together by BizKids, a television show that explains economics to preteens and young adults.
Suzanne Klenk, community relations coordinator for the Washington State Employees Credit Union, says when she speaks to young people about money, they often only think about what it can buy them. But she says proper financial education gives them the power of choice.
"Instead of just consumers, education turns them into problem-solvers and stakeholders," she explains.
The starter kits teachers receive will also provide a curriculum for teaching financial education.
Klenk says that's important because education has to be ongoing to make it stick.
"You can't hit seventh graders with a bunch of financial education and think that you've done your job," she says. "It's got to be a continuing process."

Anygood? guys with regards taste, benefits, nutritional stats etc?
Naturally i am going to be bias but its very good and i havent seen a blend that openly states extact percentages.
Put it this way, if you dont like it we will write you a cheque for the price you paid!
We dont cover postage costs however we have a system in place that means that it doesnt cost alot.
however we have a system in place that means that it doesnt cost alot.
If someone contacts us to return a product we have a system in place that means the customer will incur a cost in sending it back but it minimal (£1-2). I not going to go into the procedure, as we go through it at the point of contact.
I liked it a lot and would be taking it now if cost wasn't a factor....unfortunately, mp's total protein is a cheaper option for me!


BRENTWOOD, N.Y. – An apparent gas-related explosion destroyed a house in a Long Island suburb of New York City on Tuesday, killing a toddler and sending 14 other people to hospitals.
Surrounding houses in the middle class neighborhood also were damaged by the blast, which occurred just before noon. The entire structure of the house -- situated on a block of well-kept, modest homes near a public golf course in this ethnically diverse middle class suburb -- was reduced to small shards of wood, plywood, drywall, insulation and other building material. The air conditioners in one neighbor's home were blown out and a window was knocked out of its casing.
Brentwood Fire Department Inspector Robert Keane said the initial investigation indicated the explosion "could be gas-related." A police official said there were two, 200-pound propane gas tanks on the premises, but that no natural gas lines were present on the block.
"Everything shook," said Dave Grant, who heard the explosion and raced about seven blocks to the scene. When he arrived, he smelled gas and heard a policewoman yelling, "We need help! We need help!"
He saw other officers holding up part of the roof and said, "I just dove in to help."
"We just grabbed one guy in there," said Grant. "They lifted that roof up to get the guy out."
An 18-month-old boy was pulled from the rubble and rushed to the hospital, but he died. Residents, neighbors, a plumber and rescuers were among those who were hurt or suffered from smoke inhalation.
Three of the injured had been inside the house and were in serious condition. Authorities said they did not know if they owned the house or were renters.
Anthony Acevedo, 16, who lives up the street, said he was working on his computer just before noon.
Authorities did not immediately identify any of the victims.
Lt. Jack Fitzpatrick, chief of the Suffolk County homicide squad, said it would be some time before a precise cause was known.
"We'll be here all night," he said.

As Chair in Inclusive Societies I work both within USP and across the Faculty of Social Sciences and welcome contact from community leaders, policymakers and others interested in addressing these challenges. I am a member of the editorial advisory board for the journal Housing, Theory and Society and previously an editor of Housing Studies.
My work crosses the boundaries of urban and housing studies, sociology, geography and criminology. While my interests are broad much of it hinges on a concern to identify hidden and sometimes invisible social problems and issues. These interests started with my PhD which looked at household displacement from gentrification in London.
I continue to be driven by an interest in the ways in which social inequality drives spatial problems. From 1997 I worked at the Department of Urban Studies, at the University of Glasgow, where I worked on issues of social exclusion and area effects (the compounding force of disadvantage faced by poorer residents in poorer areas). It was here that I also took an interest in the rise of gated communities in the UK, leading the first UK study and beginning to further consider the role of the middle-classes and higher income households in shaping social outcomes more broadly across the city.
While my work on gentrification had viewed middle-class neighbourhood choices as a problem for working-class and poorer households I was now interested in much higher income groups while maintaining an interest in poverty, housing and exclusion.
From 2005 I directed the Housing and Community Research Unit, University of Tasmania, Australia, where a very different urban context and issues of indigenous health and housing influenced my thinking. My work here continued to focus on issues of gentrification, public housing and state-led strategies of social mixing to create more sustainable communities and I worked on a series of initiatives designed to generate more interest in these issues from policy-makers nationally.
From 2009 I moved back to the UK to the University of York where I became Reader in Urban Studies and Criminology and my work became more focused on questions of social harm and crime in urban contexts (a book on Urban Criminology, with Gareth Millington, is now in print with Routledge).
Since moving to the University of Sheffield in 2014 I continue to work on urban social problems including the role of the super-rich in residential life in the UK (I am currently writing a book for Verso on this subject), gentrification, community trauma/violence and social vulnerability.
My most recent book (Domestic Fortress, Manchester University Press), with Sarah Blandy from the School of Law, considers many of the long-term foci of my work – inequality, the private home, gating/fortification and social change more broadly.
