Seville was the administrative capital of Al-Andalus from the early days of the Almohad conquest, and remained so, except for a short period between 1162 and 1163 when Abd al-Mu'min ordered that Cordoba should once again become the seat of government. It was Abu Ya'qub Yusuf who ordered the re-establishment of the capital in Seville. It was from this moment on that multiple construction and reconstruction works were carried out in the city. The great mosque of Seville with its magnificent minaret was built.
The tower of the Cathedral occupies one of the highest points of the city, being its slender profile visible from practically all points of Seville, hardly any of the mountain ranges surrounding Seville, called the Santa Brígida hills, and the construction of the Torre Pelli, can be seen in its path.
History of the Giralda of Seville
The first body of the tower of the Cathedral, began to be built in the year 1000 of the Christian Era as a minaret of the great mosque, and at the same time as an astronomical observatory, one of the first built by the Arabs after the one erected in Baghdad, in the same palace of the caliph. The work is due to the master builder Gever, Zuever or Hever, inventor of algebra. Greeks, Indians and Arabs were then outstanding for their knowledge of this science. The Arabs attributed that source of knowledge to the famous mathematician Mohamed Ben-Mura, who lived until the middle of the ninth century. The physical similarities with the minaret of Morocco are also structural, because the master builder erected both watchtowers. As for the Seville minaret, in its early days and until 1396, it only had the first body and above it a slender 14-metre high minaret that ended in a spire of brightly coloured tiles and four large golden spheres that were superimposed from top to bottom. Its foundations are 15 metres deep, and these were placed with stone bases that settled well in the clayey soil that bathes the city of Seville. Among these stones used, pieces of the disappeared Roman circus were found, whose entrance and main front existed at this point. With luck, we can find at the corner of the tower that faces the Episcopal Palace, two gravestones that by chance were spared from being hidden.
A strong hurricane, accompanied by the tremor of the earth, triggered the collapse of its axis, known as yamur, on August 24, 1396.
After the incident, the tower remained in its foundations but at the top there was a long golden jetty that was used as a weather vane until the 16th century with a wooden bell tower. In 1400 the first bell tower was replaced by a belfry anchored to four pillars holding a bell and the first public clock in Seville was installed. In 1504, a new earthquake with its epicentre in Carmona, made the tower to be watched again, which according to the legend, the fair saints of the city, Justa and Rufina, miraculously saved. Fernand Ruiz, a Christian architect, was then in charge of the work. He executed the upper bodies of the tower without diminishing the harmonic tone of the minaret. He took advantage of the interior square and solidified the large arches placed on the roof of the watchtower, raised four bodies above the primitive one that still remain, finishing his intervention in 1568. In the sixteenth century the current Christian body was added, the bell tower that tops the tower. Hernán Ruiz II was in charge of the construction and presented his model to the Town Hall. Following this body is the one of the Lilies by the four bronze jars that decorate its corners. On top of this, another body of Renaissance style, formed by the body of cannons, stars, dome and dome, until the top of the Faith.
In the cathedral archive, the weekly payments made to the masters who were part of the decoration of the Giralda are perfectly recorded. Although we have no record of this, the sculptor Juan Bautista Vázquez must have been in charge during these years. The decorative programme began in November 1566 and ended on 13 August 1568. There are 52 reliefs and the sculpture of the faith in the form of a weather vane, a whole ideological program made by Canon Francisco Pacheco. The renovation of the tower had been carried out within the context of the Counter-Reformation, therefore, all the decoration responds to the triumph of the Catholic faith.
Under the body of the bells there is a series of lion's heads that act as gargoyles, those that clear the water from the rain. The allusion to the lion also has a biblical meaning, in this case the first letter of Peter that says "be sober and on your guard, your enemy the devil, like a roaring lion circles and seeks someone to devour, resisting them firm in the faith. In the body of bells we see the alternation of arches and lintels, but over the latter appear some oculi with cherub heads, based on Psalm 80:2 which says "you who sit on bright cherubim". On the body of the well we find the Latin inscription from the eastern front and on the four faces of the tower: "Turris fortissima nomen domini, proverb 18", which reads: very strong tower is in the name of the Lord upon whom the righteous shall lean. In this body, we also see male heads that personify the winds. The Apocalypse speaks of four angels in the four corners of the earth. They held back the wind with their breath. In the body of the star we find the passage from a square plant to a cylindrical one with 8 lintels, on which fantastic faces appear among others of great beauty, which seem to represent evil under the bronze sculpture of faith, known as the Giraldillo. The sculpture of faith, in line with this allusion to evil appears in Revelation 12, speaking of a woman appearing from the fighting firmament with a dragon.
Curiosities about the Giralda
There are many curiosities that we can find around this tower, although in order not to bore our reader, we will comment on those that are of greatest interest to us to create the complete vision of a unique monument that has managed to bring together the culture of different religions.
The story of the transfer of the sculpture of the faith, the weather vane, or the Giraldillo from its foundry in the Porvenir district is curious. 18 Moors from the city, on July 26th 1568, helped carry the sculpture from the artist's house to the Cathedral.
The popular name of the weather vane that crowns the tower is "Giraldillo", but the official name of the statue is "Faith Triumphant", although it is also known by the vulgar dictates as "of the victory", "Giraldillo" or "the Saint Joan and the Dummy". The word Giralda comes from "girar", and according to the RAE it means, tower vane that has a human or animal figure. The Giraldillo has remained because it turns on an axis driven by the winds, so that this sculpture has passed to the name of the tower, degenerated into Giralda.
The interior of the tower has ramps that ascend to the body of windows of its top, are 35 ramps that were thought in order that the person in charge of calling to the prayer to the faithful could go up on horseback. After climbing, he would have the task of ringing the bells. At present, there are 24 bells in this body and it has an automatic system that makes them sound.
On the west side of the tower, it is certified what was a reality until the nineteenth century. What we knew from engravings and paintings has its reality that goes unnoticed before our eyes. The ochre-coloured remains that can be seen today are the remains of some murals and polychrome paintings that have completely disappeared but can be sensed on rainy days. They formed part of the iconographic programme designed by Francisco Pacheco, as the plaque under the first balcony on the north side explains. These paintings can be seen in the painting of the Saints Justa and Rufina by Miguel de Esquivel (1621). Nowadays all these frescos have been completely lost, being unrecoverable. However, there are still the two "machones" on either side of the first balcony of the tower, today empty, but where Saint Isidoro and Saint Leandro, and the Saints Justa and Rufina, respectively, were represented.

One of the most popular ways that both beginning and experienced real estate investors choose to generate cash flow for their real estate investing is through a quick sale or "flip" of a property. These transactions often generate the income that an investor lives off of while building a portfolio of "holding properties" to generate future wealth.
The largest concern that a real estate investor who does a lot of "flips" has is that the laws related to "dealer" status are vague and the determination of intent is subjective with no clear cut criteria. This is a heavily litigated area of tax law and court opinions are often inconsistent and vary from judge to judge.
How does "dealer" status hurt the real estate investor?
Depreciation – rental properties held by a real estate "dealer" are not allowed a deduction for depreciation.
Rental Income – rental income from properties held can be determined to be ordinary income subject to self employment tax.
Installment Sales – "dealers" who sell property using the installment method may be forced to report the whole gain in the year of sale instead of deferring gain until actual dollars are received.
Tax Free Exchanges – "dealers" are not allowed to do Section 1031 exchanges with properties sold.
Use of Multiple Entities for the Different Types of Real Estate Investing – A good strategy is to use a separate business entity (usually a C or S Corporation) to "flip properties" and other business entity (usually an LLC or group of LLC's) to hold rental properties. Another entity could be set up to deal with properties sold on the installment method.
Use of the Cash Basis of Accounting – Using the cash basis of accounting for the "dealer" entity helps offset the profits because deductions can be taken for all expenses paid prior to year end and lower both the income and self-employment tax that will be due on the taxable income.
Use of Lease/Option Instead of Installment Sale – The loss of the installment sale deferral can be eliminated by using a lease/option instead. The primary issue here is "when did the sale occur" or "constructive ownership". The lease/option agreements must be prepared properly to ensure that the lease/option will not be determined to be a constructive sale. Consult a real estate attorney to ensure that the agreements you are using conform to the proper standards to avoid this issue.

Crosstown Classic on the Southside: Cubs at White Sox | Have Game? Will Travel!
On Saturday I had planned on a doubleheader day. First up was the Crosstown Classic at U.S. Cellular Field. Second was the SuperLiga match between the Chicago Fire and Tigres UANL (a Mexican club team) at Toyota Park.
However, since the first pitch of the Chicago Cubs at Chicago White Sox game was scheduled for 3:10 pm and kickoff for the soccer match was at 7 pm, I could not afford much of a delay in the baseball game. Thus, I had to drive since Interstate-55 basically connected both stadiums.
On Saturday morning, my neighbor told me he was planning to tailgate with a few of his friends before the game. Since I was already planning to drive I told him I would meet him around 2 pm. I wanted to arrive at the ballpark early anyway, since last year, when I attended the Cubs at White Sox game on Friday afternoon I had to park 5 blocks away from the ballpark and still pay $22. This time I arrived at U.S. Cellular Field around 1:45 pm and paid the normal $23 to park in Parking Lot L – much closer.
My friend was tailgating in Parking Lot G which is on the corner of 35 St. and Normal Ave. – a decent walk from where I parked but would allow me to check out the secondary ticket market while I walked over there. I did not see many scalpers with tickets on my walk and the box office had just sold out. Ticket Buying Tip: Even though a game may be sold out ahead of time, sometimes the box office will have tickets available before the game. If ticket prices are too high on the street be sure to check out the box office before purchasing tickets from a scalper.
This was the first time I tailgated at U.S. Cellular Field since last season at the the American League Central one-game tiebreaker. I hardly ever tailgate outside of U.S. Cellular Field since 1) I normally take the train and 2) I do not know anyone who tailgates on the Southside. There is nothing special to tailgating at U.S. Cellular Field.
Historically, the main scalping area around U.S. Cellular Field is on the corner of 35 St. and Normal Ave. at the 35th Street Red Hot (a hot dog stand). Since we were also tailgating on this corner, I left the tailgate to find an extra ticket (after, of course, asking the fans around our tailgate if they had an extra ticket). Chicago Police were swarming the corner so there were no scalpers in front of the stand. However, I walked another block or two west and found a few scalpers. The first guy wanted $80 each for his upper deck reserved tickets. I said no. A second guy wanted $50 once I told them I wanted to pay face value. We eventually agreed on $40 for a $33 ticket – around the same price I would have paid if buying from Ticketmaster months before the game.
With Friday afternoon's Crosstown Classic only lasting 2 hours and 26 minutes, I was hoping today's game would end by 6 pm – allowing me time to get to Toyota Park for the SuperLiga match. This proved not to be the case though. The game featured six lead changes and six ties in what had to have been one of the most back and forth games I have attended this season.
With the game tied at seven runs apiece after the eighth inning, I decided to walk down to the Bullpen Sports Bar for two reasons. First and foremost, the Bullpen Sports Bar was on the side of the stadium where I had parked my car. It was approaching 6:30 pm and the only way I could make it to the Chicago Fire game was if the game ended in the ninth inning and I could run to my car beating traffic out of the U.S. Cellular Field parking lots.
Second, if the game was tied after nine innings, I could buy beer from the bar and watch extra innings as I would no longer be attending the Fire game.
I got to the sports bar in time for the bottom of the 9th inning as the Cubs went down 1-2-3 in the top of the 9th. With two outs, Josh Fields on second base, Jayson Nix at the plate and Gordon Beckham on deck, I was convinced I would be settling in for an evening of extra inning baseball. I even told Nicole I would be home earlier than I thought. Even after Nix walked, I still thought I would be watching extra innings.
However, the next thing I knew Gordon Beckham hit a ball that headed towards the sports bar, dropped in for a single and allowed Josh Fields to score the winning run. I looked at the time – 6:40 pm. Could I make it to Toyota Park in 25 minutes (soccer matches usually start a few minutes late)? I decided yes and ran out of the Bullpen Sports Bar and through the parking lot to my car.

'Serious criminals' stole £1 million worth of cars from driveways across two counties
One of the gang members is a 17-year-old convicted murderer

Myles Campbell and Keanan Walker committed numerous robberies over seven months (Image: Paul Beard)
Gang members who carried out targeted break-ins at more than 50 homes in a bid to steal expensive cars have been jailed.
The group, who committed their crime spree across a seven-month period, deliberately targeted the homes of people with expensive vehicles, with the total of their criminal endeavours surpassing more than £1 million.
Now, two of the gang, who operated across both Leicestershire and Warwickshire, have been jailed.

At Warwick Crown Court it was heard how Keanan Walker, Myles Campbell and an unnamed 17-year-old youth, had, alongside other gang members, hit 51 homes across Leicestershire and Warwickshire in 2019.
The crime spree spanned seven months of the year, with the gang all described by prosecutors as "serious criminals" for whom "burglary and theft seems to be a lifestyle".
"The object of the conspiracy was to obtain vehicles by the commission of burglaries, sometimes to get the car keys, but on other occasions there is a theft of the vehicle which is very close to being a robbery, revealed prosecutor Andrew Wallace.
Walker, who appeared in court on the eve of his 23rd birthday last week, was involved in as many as 23 of the crimes, the first of which saw him, alongside three others, target a man as he pulled onto his drive in Baychester Road, Coventry, in his brand-new BMW.
Three of the gang approached the man and demanded the car keys, which he handed over, and they drove off in his BMW as the fourth gang member followed in an Audi in which they had arrived.
Prosecutor Mr Wallace pointed out that a phone clip showed Walker driving the BMW, and later in April he was involved in another 'borderline robbery' in which a VW Golf was taken.
Walker was then involved in three burglaries in June, during which car keys were taken, as well as a BMW.
Warwick Crown Court (Image: Coventry Live)
The crimes then crossed over into Leicestershire, when in July 2019, a Market Harborough woman was awoken and looked out of her window to see people trying to get into her car - but they fled without it when she shouted out.
A few days later, Walker took part in a night-time burglary during which keys were taken and two Range Rovers, together worth £100,000, were stolen.
This was followed up one night later with three cars being stolen following a burglary at a house in Coventry, before the gang switched their attention to Southam.
Here, jewellery was taken in one break-in together with the key to a £59,000 Audi RS3 which was stolen; the next night two more houses in Southam were attacked, with a BMW taken from the drive of one and another Audi RS3 from outside the other.
By August, their crime spree seemed unlikely to end, with Walker and fellow gang members attempting to steal a Lamborghini from a Leicestershire home.
However, they left empty-handed.
As for the unnamed teen, Mr Wallace said their crimes included a burglary in Bedworth which led to a Ford Kuga being stolen.
From there, he took part in the burglary of a house in Leamington during which jewellery was stolen, and burglaries in Coventry, Coalville and other towns during which cars were taken.
In court, Walker, Campbell and the 17-year-old pleaded guilty to charges of conspiracy to burgle and conspiracy to steal.
Walker, of Westminster Road, Coventry, was handed a five-and-a-half-year sentence, taking into account a sentence he had already served for a burglary committed during the same period.
Meanwhile, the youth, who is also from Coventry and who has an extensive list of previous convictions - as well as serving a life sentence for murder - was sentenced to six-and-a-half years detention.
Campbell, aged 22, and from The Moorfields, Coventry, failed to turn up for the hearing.
A warrant has been issued for his arrest.

Man shot in heart at close range 'lied' to police about shooter's identity, jury told
Horrifying scale of drink spiking in Leicester and the wider county revealed in new police data


I mentioned a while back that there was potentially a commission to produce a soundtrack for a film in the pipeline. I am happy to announce that this project is going ahead and that throughout April 2012 – as well as working on this and designing this – I am creating a soundtrack for "Bathing & Dressing, Parts 1 & 2" for The British Film Institute and The Wellcome Library. These institutions are jointly funding this venture and you can watch part 1 here, and part 2 here.
It is an intimate film, harking from an exciting era when public health information films were in their infancy. In the early 1900s there was a left-wing, pacifist and Christian contingent in Bermondsey, who set about improving general awareness of health in the local populace by establishing better public facilities, and by utilising film to raise general awareness on the promotion of good health. The figure behind these historic developments seems to have been Dr Alfred Salter. Salter went into politics because he quickly realised when he moved to the borough that nothing he could do as a medical practitioner would be sufficient to counteract the lack of sanitation facilities, over-crowded toilets (sometimes 25 households shared a single WC) and other conditions of life challenging the health of the constituency. A committed group of amateur film-makers created many health-propaganda titles in Bermondsey, and these were then projected onto a canvas on the back of a bus in public spaces. There is more information about this here. The film for which I am creating a soundtrack was actually made in Shoreditch, in the Carnegie Model Infant Welfare Centre, established by George Frederick McCleary, but it seems to have grown out of a similar civic effort towards improving the welfare of Londoners by providing better education and sanitation.
I am fascinated by the culture of healthcare in this pre-NHS era, and have been giving much thought as to what a soundtrack might add to a film like Bathing & Dressing, which harks from such a specific context in history.
I believe strongly that sound design – like the design of a typeface or the design of a poster – is not only about creating an aesthetic, but about conveying information about the subject matter in hand. Therefore, I have spent a few days in the British Library familiarising myself sonically with the world in which the film was originally made. I've listened to oral histories from women who worked in maternity and midwifery during the 1930s when the film was made, and to domestic, home-recordings from the same era, to try and understand what sound-recording sounded like then. I've also listened to popular tunes from the era – particularly tunes written for young children; and I've listened to an account of Dr Salter, who was known to one of the interviewees whose oral history is on record at the library.
I have ordered some books to help me to better understand the world of the film, but there is so much information in sounds which cannot be conveyed in words that it felt important to explore as much as possible with my ears, rather than through written text. Afterall, my soundtrack will be heard and not read when it is completed.
The British Library Listening Service is an incredible resource. At the moment it is manned by just one person – the magnificent Ian Rawes of London Sound Survey fame – whose meticulously made and researched archive of actuality recordings from 1930s/40s London hosted on his own website has been invaluable in terms of helping me to "hear" the London of the 1930s.
I wrote to Ian with a list of record numbers. Much of what I wanted to hear was held in storage at Boston Spa, and some of it needed to be digitised for me to access it through the Listening Service. However Ian kindly sorted all this out for me, and then I was able to go to the british Library and sit in a carrel, filling my ears with accounts and sounds and taking notes with my pencil.
I discovered some wonderful 1920s/30s children's songs, like Dicky Bird Hop, which Grace Fields recorded in the late 1920s. I love the whistling.
I think there is so much information in that recording about people, place and time… it's uncanny that you can hear the fact that it was made in a living room, but it would sound completely different if it had been recorded in a different kind of space, and the voices are so gorgeous as they are, with all the traces of class and religion which they articulate. When I learnt to play the piano, there were certain rules about how to "play well", but what exactly does it mean to "play well?" And what if we were to think of piano-playing as a way of evoking or referencing eras in history, or specific social contexts? What if you want to play the piano to evoke the helpful, beat-keeping, driving determination of a pianist keeping a hymn-singing session in time, for example? Or if you want to play the piano in such a way as to evoke the informal use of that instrument for DIY home-entertainment for about 200 years of Western history?
Home performances are sentimental, and – as you might expect – the levels between voice and piano are not as well balanced or mastered as in a professional recording; also, the enunciation of words and expression of sentiment in the music have a sort of affected quality (which I also remember from playing the piano to my own relatives when I was young). Perhaps something of the size of one's performance space – a living-room vs. a concert-hall – does something to confine the sounds of the piano-playing and singing, so that the expressiveness governing one's performance (which would melt into reverb in a larger space) is somehow more live and present in an intimate setting? Certainly in the recording of the home-hymn-singing, I enjoyed these qualities in the sound as indicators of DIY culture and home-made entertainment.
In other recordings from that set I also loved hearing the disparity between the voices in the accidental recordings when the recorder was just left on, and the more deliberately-made recordings, in which people spoke with far more care and precision (something I've noticed about my own voice in radio work). There was something surprisingly moving to me about hearing the careful pronunciation of prayers in one section of the tape, vs. the far more relaxed and careless speech in other sections.
Perhaps the richest selection of home-recordings for my purposes is the K H Leech collection. I hunted down a large reel of magnetic tape from this, one side of which was full of informal domestic home-recordings, and the other side of which was full of parlour-room recitals on an upright piano. The recordings I heard were all made in the 1930s and 40s, and I enjoyed listening and noticing the distinctive sound and texture of a domestic piano session as opposed to a concert performance.
There was also a Christmas Party recording from 1935 on this record, in which the participants stiffly express their gratitude for a wonderful day which included "blowing bubbles, playing ping-pong and doing all sorts of silly nonsense". To me these details are very precious – and useful – as they help to detail a kind of atmosphere or context in which to make my own recordings. K H Leech's own songs – sung and played it would seem by a huge range of accomplished friends – also made amazing listening, to me, and my notes will be useful for any such piano music which might/mightn't end up in my soundtrack.
Rhythm pulls around/sentimental/very long notes… the piano is not entirely in tune and there are tiny modulations in the sound – I mean in the pitch (think Boards of Canada) causing it to waver. The crackles are interesting, too; they add a patina of age to the sound; a static. Are there ways I could emulate that sound?
I found it so useful to make these notes, to listen and write, to think through sound and hearing, and to make connections between ideas and recordings as I sat in my carrel at the British Library.
Finally – and perhaps most importantly for my purposes – the oral histories proved to be invaluable for helping to shape an idea in my mind of what the world of midwifery and post-natal care was like in the early part of the 20th century, in London. You can read whatever about midwifery, but to hear the emotion in women's voices as they describe their work, their feelings about their work, and their personal histories conveys information which can't be read. I was also very interested in listening to the women who went around collecting these histories in later decades – many of the recordings I heard were collected in the 1960s or 1990s, by women researching the history of women. The Voices of both interviewers and interviewees are incredibly rich and expressive, and I am utterly haunted by several oral histories which I listened to. I will refer to these women just by the years they were born in, as it is made very clear in the record details that anonymity must be preserved at all times. I wish you could hear their voices.
"I had a cloak… with a cape to it, brown, black hate, shiny straw with a red ribbon, and a pair of brown shoes".
"[My Foster Mother] wouldn't go to a shop. I did the shopping. She never neighboured, she'd just speak, perhaps, but nobody ever went in… I don't think she ever went in a shop. She'd go to Colchester and do a big shop on the Friday or Saturday. Mostly on a Friday, I remember, 'cause she used to get the joint. And she'd buy a picnic ham, I always remember that… we always had a hot tea. She kept a good table, I will say that. Good food, wholesome food, and meat puddings. And she was spotlessly clean. And she could make a shilling do when people spent two… on the corner – I can see it now – a sheet of foolscap and she'd put down every day what she'd spent, and on the Saturday she tabled it up. That was put on the fire and a fresh one put up for the next week".
(This interviewee was fostered after staying in the Tendring Union; her foster mother had a son who was given very preferential treatment. She went on to teach at the local Methodist Sunday School. I listened to her interview to understand a bit about what life was like in the early part of the 1900s).
(I was especially moved by this woman's account of the role that faith played in her activities as a midwife, and especially the prayers that she made both for babies that were born healthy and happy, and at difficult births).
grew up in Poplar; old place. No proper bathroom. Toilet outside.
I listened to so many accounts, and there are lovely details – like the brown paper that the greengrocers saved for the midwives, and the ingenious if not altogether sterile biscuit-tin-in-oven approach to "sterilising" dressings – which have stuck in my mind. The full result of mixing up all these voices, though, and these sounds, is that I have an idea now of how to go forward with this project.
I think that it will be necessary to have the voices of mums and healthworkers featured somewhere in my soundtrack for the film, because there is something about the quality of people discussing their memories informally which is extremely evocative. And although the mums and healthworkers who I find will obviously be of this era and not the original era of the film, so too will the audience. The sounds need to tell the story of those drafty, care-floorboarded, cramped interiors; of the lack of television and radio; and of the piano as the supreme home-entertainment system of the time… but the voices need to bring the warmth, the humanity and the experience of looking after a small infant to the soundtrack. They also need, I think, to bridge the gap between the THEN of the film and the NOW of now.
Who else would I ask for help with finding mums and healthworkers than my own Mum, and the woman who was my au pair when I was young? Thanks Bam and Catrine! …And thanks to the British Library for helping me to think and research through listening at your amazing archive.

It sounds like you've had a wonderfully interesting time! I do enjoy your blog, which always requires my full attention to read/listen to.
Just popping back to say that as a knitter/designer/historian of knitted baby clothes I'm intrigued to see the child in the first film having a garment removed over the head. I have very many knitting patterns from this era and they all have fastenings front or back. How fascinating.
loved this post. What a brilliant prjoject for you and the research you are doing is so thorough, thoughtful and moving. It is wonderful to get an insight into the process of your thinking & making in this way, and I am really looking forward to hearing how you address the texture of these women's lives in your soundtrack..
Looks like its going to be amazing. What a wealth of recordings to find and use.
Thank you for a lovely entry!
Watching the films it's easy to imagine in your head what the soundtrack should be like, but analysing what that's composed of and how to recreate it is entirely another matter. Fascinating to read your notes of what you hear in the recordings.
What an absolutely fascinating post. I am particularly struck by the girl who put a mouse in her bloomers and took it to school.
there's nothing i love better than a post which describes the process of something i don't know how to do. i've linked to this on FB, i hope you don't mind. thank you very much.


Thank God for Chris Mortensen and Adam Schefter. Otherwise this show would be a snooze-fest. The duo do a very interesting story about what would've happened if Drew Brees ended up in Miami instead of New Orleans, which almost happened. Instead the Dolphins signed Daunte Culpepper (suckers!). I guess Bill Parcells would've ended up in Atlanta along with Miami's coach and Pennington and Henne.
Tom Jackson and Keyshawn Johnson do a segment called "Unbeaten Idol" where they sit at a desk and a horrifying Madden videogame version of Drew Brees walks out…I couldn't watch anymore…I had to turn the channel.
Charlie "Hitman" Casserly talks about what a good deal the Jay Cutler contract extension was for both sides (yawn).
He then talks about Cedric Benson leaving the Bears and going to the Bengals (yawn).
Shannon Sharpe is holding up some sort of WWF belt during a segment. I turn the channel.
Boomer Esiason gives his top 10 QB's so far this year according to his own criteria. It's a complete joke. Eli Manning #3?? Did he watch last weeks game? Kyle Orton ahead of Tom Brady and Big Ben?? No Aaron Rodgers in the list?? Bill Cowher promptly rips his top ten list apart but still doesn't do a good enough job as far as I'm concerned.
I turn on the Fox Show and they're talking about giving away Ford Taurus'. OK.
Jay "Poppin' Fresh" Glazer is talking about Tom Cable getting out of a fine for popping someone on his coaching. I guess Cable could've been fined $25,000 for bumping into a ref in some game this year.
Michael Strahan is talking about the Giants losing to the Raiders (??), the camera pans out and Jimmy Johnson looks like he's about to kiss Strahan. I don't know what the hell is going on here. Alright, FOX, you win worst Pregame show on TV.


Our day begin at Sarah's parents' house, then we scampered off to the Bethel Manor Chapel in Hampton, VA for their first wedding ceremony. Then we moved on up to Providence Forge, VA to have a super fun celebratory ceremony and reception. This lively affair made for the ultimate Apple Blossom Plantation wedding.
Ryan and Sarah are special. They were kids when they first met. It's romantic, really. They grew up knowing they were in love and were able to grow with each other for over a decade before their wedding day. A lot of things have changed over the years, but those are the sorts of things that build a good foundation for a strong relationship. They're no longer teenagers and are well into being twenty-somethings, but Ryan and Sarah are unified in their journey.
Last year we hung out for a bit for their engagement photos and I really caught on to the magic that was between them. There was this…understanding between them. It was non-verbal and almost a little bit like their souls have been entwined. They "get" each other. They were adventurous, humorous, and true to themselves. Big conclusions to draw from a few hours with them, but these things also rang true on their wedding day.
The focus was on family, friends, and celebration. There was a lot of laughter, a few happy tears, and loads of the genuine human experience.

Q: How to track user behaviour in C# visual studio for Word Add-in I want to find out which button (e.g. button ID, name) the user has clicked on in Word 2010 with the help of C# and Visual Studio 2015 Enterprise. I can imagine that there is a possibility to print in console what the user did while running the word add-in solution.
I'm trying to address a specific button in the controls tab via VBA, but could not find the exact name and ID of that specific button yet. I hope there's a way to find out.
Edit:
 Sub ControlProperties()
    Dim Answer
    Answer = MsgBox("You are about to edit property parameters. Continue?", vbYesNo + vbQuestion, "Properties")
    If Answer = vbYes Then
    MsgBox "Here implement code to continue..."
    Else
    End If
    End Sub

Cutom UI editor entry:
<command idMso="ControlProperties" enabled="true" onAction="ControlProperties" />

My goal is just to pop up that msgbox where the user gets warned that he is about to edit parameters and continue the original function of the button. But with code above ControlProperties is gettin disabled completely.
Best Regards.

A: Found a way that worked with " CancelDefault = False ":
Sub ControlProperties()
    Dim Answer
    Answer = MsgBox("You are about to edit property parameters. Continue?", vbYesNo + vbQuestion, "Properties")
    If Answer = vbYes Then
    MsgBox "Here implement code to continue..."
CancelDefault = False
    Else
    End If
    End Sub


As the leaves fall and the cooler weather sets in, preparing for winter moves up on our "to do" lists. Many of us prepare by giving our snow blowers a tune up, putting away our summer wardrobe and get the sweaters & vests out of storage, maybe installing a snow fence.
How many of us are tasked with having to prepare financially for winter? Maybe not you, but someone you know could be struggling with having to decide whether to pay their heating bill or buy groceries. Many of our parents & grandparents are going without crucial medication in order to pay their heating bill.
If you or someone you know is struggling to make ends meet in the winter, please know that there is help. The Wisconsin Home Energy Assistance Program or WHEAP is available and they are now taking applications for the 2018/2019 heating season.
Please follow this link for contact information and income guidelines or call 1-866-HEATWIS. CHS Larsen Cooperatives energy department has worked with WHEAP for many years and We will be happy to assist in any way we can.

Els Manhunters són una "raça" de robots guerrers que existeix dins de l'Univers DC de DC Comics. Tenen forma humanoide i generalment són rojos i blaus, encara que també són amos de la disfressa.

Història

Policia interestel·lar
Els Manhunters van ser el primer intent que van realitzar els Guardians de l'univers per crear una força policial interestel·lar que combatera el crim a tota la galàxia. El seu nom i gran part del seu codi de comportament va ser emmotlat d'acord amb els "Detectius Marcians" (Martian Manhunters). Durant milers d'anys els Manhunters van servir els Guardians, però després es van tornar obsessius amb "caçar" criminals. El seu codi, "Cap home escapa als Manhunters", es va tornar més important per a ells que fer justícia.

Exili
Eventualment, els robots van conspirar i es van rebel·lar contra els seus amos, però els Guardians els van véncer i van destruir-ne la majoria. Els que van sobreviure es van ocultar lluny, en molts planetes, reconstruint lentament les seues forces i escampant les seues creences. Des de llavors, l'objectiu principal dels Manhunters ha estat venjar-se dels Guardians i dels seus substituts, els Green Lantern Corps.

Disfressats com a sers vius, els Manhunters es van infiltrar en molts planetes i van crear un "culte dels Manhunters" que entrenava persones per a ser els seus servents. A la Terra, la majoria dels agents Manhunters desconeixia que els seus amos eren robots i que els seus vertaders propòsits eren roïns. Alguns d'aquests agents es van convertir en superherois també anomenats Manhunters, i usaven vestits rojos i blaus com els mateixos androides. El més famós va ser un caçador anomenat Paul Kirk, el qual va realitzar la seua carrera en els quaranta i va protagonitzar el seu propi còmic. El personatge va tenir el seu retorn als setanta; en esta versió, havia estat assassinat anys arrere però, en realitat, un grup conspiratiu l'havia posat en suspensió animada i clonat. Quan finalment va despertar, es va dedicar a enfrontar-se amb els que l'havien utilitzat, i va morir en el procés. No obstant això, alguns dels seus clons van sobreviure.

Els Manhunters van ser descoberts (i aparentment derrotats) per la Lliga de la Justícia (Justice League), i un dels seus seguidors humans, Mark Shaw, va adoptar una nova identitat com el superheroi Privateer. No obstant això, després es va descobrir que era un criminal emmascarat com a heroi.

Millennium
Anys després, es va saber que els Manhunters no sols continuaven existint, sinó que havien infiltrat les vides de diversos superherois amb els seus agents. Estos es van revelar quan una Guardià i una Zamaron van tractar d'evolucionar alguns humans per a convertir-los en els següents Guardians de l'univers. Durant aquest esdeveniment, conegut com la crisi del Millennium, va haver-hi un contraatac massiu dels herois contra els Manhunters, que van semblar haver estat destruïts d'una vegada per sempre juntament amb el seu planeta. Mark Shaw, ex-Privateer, va tornar a adoptar la seua identitat de Manhunter després de la batalla per a redimir tant al nom com a si mateix.

Càntic
Comunament, els Manhunters diuen la frase "cap home escapa als Manhunters" que també s'escolta en els dibuixos animats de la Lliga de la Justícia. Este càntic podria ser una referència a la seua percepció com a culte de ser invencibles. Cal destacar que, durant la sèrie Millennium, la seua base secreta d'operacions estava a Louisiana, un estat amb antigues arrels en pràctiques de vodú.

Tecnologia
La tecnologia dels Manhunters ha estat utilitzada per a la creació dels OMAC.

The Baltimore Sun: Young, gifted and disabled
This was the summer of 2003, and she had recently graduated from college, was studying for the LSAT and browsing the store's magazine selections. There were magazines for bikers and hikers, runners, travelers, eaters, golfers — just about every category of person one could think of, except disabled people, a group to which Roberson has belonged since she was born with a rare condition that contracts joints throughout the body, dislocates hips, locks the jaw. […]
She took it on. She saw the need for a magazine and decided she'd produce one. She called it "i.d.e.a.l.," an acronym for "Individuals with Disabilities Express About Life," and put the emphasis on young disabled people.[…]
Along with reported stories, Roberson contributed a first-person piece about how her disability and her bisexuality complicate her personal life. It's the sort of frank treatment of the lives of disabled people that she feels has been missing from available publications, and was missing even from the first two issues of "i.d.e.a.l."
"I'm my own worst critic," she said. "I don't think it was as relatable to me" in her life as a disabled person. Her hope is that disabled people reading the new magazine will find their lives reflected in it, "so people will disabilities can say 'Oh my God, I'm not the only one going through this.' "
Su Sayer at The Guardian: Politicians must recognise that people with learning disabilities have a right to vote too
Yet when it comes to democratic rights, the overwhelming majority of adults with learning disabilities still find themselves largely excluded by the complexity of the system and low awareness of their right to vote. Our research found that while 80% of people supported by United Response in England were registered to vote in the 2005 election, only 16% used their vote. This compares with a turnout of 61% in the general population.
As regular users of social services, public transport, health services and much more, people with learning disabilities are affected by political decisions in the same way as everyone else. The majority of adults with learning disabilities do have the capacity, as well as the legal right, to vote, and would like to do so if given the opportunity.
Ethan Ellis at NJ Voices Public Blog: Disability: the hidden horror of Haiti
Those of us with disabilities who know the island also know that after the last body is buried, the last hospital is rebuilt and the country begins to come alive again as its rescuers move on to the next disaster and the eyes of the watching world move with them, that people like us, now multiplied by the earthquake's crush will be buried under the crushing weight of the country's other unmet priories.
CNW Group: Women with heart disease are more likely to be poor than men
"Cardiovascular disease is the major cause of death and a leading cause of disability among Canadian women," said Dr. Arlene Bierman, a physician at St. Michael's Hospital and principal investigator of the study. "In fact, eight times as many Canadian women die from heart disease and stroke every year as from breast cancer. If we're going to change this we need prevention programs that reach out to low income women and that focus on the effects of poverty and the factors that lead to poverty among women."
The Telegraph (UK): Hi-tech prosthetics are getting our injured back on their feet
Historically, war has provided a great spur to technological development in prosthetics. Before the First World War, amputations were comparatively rare in Britain and most artificial limbs were primitive objects made by saddlers. […] The sudden influx of 41,300 young military amputees, many hoping to return to some sort of employment after the war, generated a new prosthetics industry and encouraged co-operation between limb-fitters and surgeons for the first time.
[Jerome Church said]: "But the warfare of the past eight years in Iraq and Afghanistan has produced a paradigm shift in the way we consider prosthetic possibilities."
[Ian Jones, prosthetics manager said] "With a BK [below knee] injury there is no reason why a soldier should not return to front-line infantry. Some will be as fit as anyone else.
The Michigan Daily: Silently Disabled: The everyday struggles of those with invisible disabilities
It wasn't until a week before the end of the academic year that [Leslie Rott] was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis and lupus — a chronic inflammatory disease that attacks the body's tissues and organs. Rott said she was unsure of what accommodations she would be entitled to going into her second year. Unlike those who have lived most of their lives with disabilities, she had no previous experience as a disabled individual and didn't even know how to go about asking for accommodations. […]
Felder, who is fairly upfront about her Crohn's disease, says that despite her attempts to inform her classmates about her disability, she has received less-then-ideal reactions as sometimes, students "literally scoot their chairs away" when she talks about the disease in class.
There is also, at times, the issue of other students thinking accommodations means disabled students are getting "special treatment." For example, LSA sophomore Sarah Rabinowe, who was diagnosed with two learning disabilities in the beginning of elementary school, said her classmates often judge her for getting accommodations because they don't understand how difficult it is to live with her disability.
"I've had a little bit here of 'she gets special treatment, she gets this,' the sort of jealousy, almost, because they don't understand how hard it is to live with this," Rabinowe said.[…]
Though some members of the disabled community would like the University to take a larger role in advocating for and raising awareness of disabilities on campus, SSWD "acts under a philosophy of self-advocacy," Segal said. "In other words, part of what we're trying to do is turn people into young, responsible, independent adults, and part of the way of doing that is making people advocate for themselves," Segal said.
Part of this notion of self-advocacy includes changing the campus's perception of the disabled community without the University's help. For example, if individuals want peer mentors or support groups, it's their responsibility to make that happen. Likewise, if individuals sense a stigma associated with disabilities on campus, the disabled community must find a voice within itself to raise awareness of disability issues rather than rely on the University to make this change for them.

OK I haven't read the full article yet, but I find this really problematic:
"In other words, part of what we're trying to do is turn people into young, responsible, independent adults, and part of the way of doing that is making people advocate for themselves," Segal said.
… Likewise, if individuals sense a stigma associated with disabilities on campus, the disabled community must find a voice within itself to raise awareness of disability issues rather than rely on the University to make this change for them.
Why is it always the responsibility of the unprivileged to fix things?
Whoa, an article about my school. I saw the "SSWD" and it caught my eye, and then I saw the name Segal and my suspicions were confirmed.
As someone who has used that office's services, I can definitely confirm its so-called policy of "self-advocacy." When my sibling's lupus flared up, I recommended she try to get accommodations through SSWD, but no one there really did a ton for her, and she ended up dropping all courses that semester. (On the other hand, there was a dietician at her dormitory who was wonderful.) I have used their services but must always do so on my own initiative; no one there ever checks in with me, inquires as to whether I have needs that are not being met, etc.
One of those interviewed in the article, Rott, mentions wanting a potential disability support group; someone in the comments mentions UHS having one now, and I'm not sure if it's the same thing, but I know there is a chronic pain support group which began this year (I've yet to attend it but my sibling has gone a few times). However, the group is framed around "chronic pain" rather than disability, and this obviously also excludes/includes specific people. I'm unaware of another support group, but it might exist.
One thing I've heard from a friend who tried to use SSWD's services (though not specifically mentioned by Rott in the article, who was the only graduate student mentioned in there, I believe), is that most of SSWD's services are targeted at undergraduates, and there is little understanding of the needs of graduate students, or how to accommodate those needs. Being an undergraduate myself, I can't speak to this. The SSWD services I have used were very helpful; on the other hand, I wasn't even aware SSWD existed until my second year of college, and didn't use any of their services until my third year.
@JoSelle, you beat me to the punch! Why is it always the responsibility of the unprivileged to fix things? Wholeheartedly seconded. I think that advocacy and de-stigmatization ought to fall under the umbrella of accommodations that enable disabled students to fully participate in the college experience. As an invisibly disabled college student who dealt with tons of bullying in elementary school, I know that you can't participate fully in the college experience if nobody wants to make friends with you because you're "weird."
And, you know, it's not like we don't already have enough to deal with. It's amazing that they effectively had students talking about spoon-budgeting in that article, and the administration still turns around and says, "This is your problem," with no sensitivity to the fact that it's enough of a struggle just to make it to class or get work done.
The i.d.e.a.l. magazine looks great! I've oftened wondered where amongst all those glossy magazine MY demographic is. I had to dig around online for awhile to figure out how / where to contact the magazine about subscriptions or more info, since the article didn't mention it, and I found the one has to email the author. Here is her address: zarifaroberson[@]hotmail[.]com. Thought I'd post and save someone else the hassle.
Ed. Note–I changed the formatting of the editor's email address so that it wouldn't get harvested by spambots.
AWV says:
also, as an ASD person I feel like part of the nature of my disability is that it's difficult for me to advocate for myself. Which is something I need to (and do) work on, but that doesn't mean that it's other people's job to not reach out to me so I can practice self-advocacy, especially if it's their job to help disabled people. And this (self-advocacy being hard) could go for a lot of disabilities, from anxiety to physical disabilities that cause a person to get tired more easily and maybe not be super motivated to go trundling around meeting with professors and stuff. Why would you require a disabled person to do something that's especially hard for them given their disability? How is that equal treatment?
It is nice for everyone to learn to be an independent adult and stuff, but disabled college students should be allowed to be just as lazy and unmotivated as nondisabled students (if they are in fact being lazy and unmotivated, rather than just doing what they can on the energy they have).
@Monica. Yes to all of this! Oh yes.
Thanks to a ton of traumatic events, the recurrent, moderate-to-severe clinical depression I'd had since AGE 7 became unmanageable shortly after I arrived at college. Despite being (mis) diagnosed with (a personality disorder) and depression at the time, I was not aware that I could even seek accommodations or help. I thought I was simply screwed up and needed to "stop whining" and "get over myself," and then when I couldn't manage my life like "everybody else" I beat myself up more.
This is the main reason why people with disabilities, and invisible/psychiatric disabilities in PARTICULAR, should not be forced to be advocates for themselves, especially when they are teenagers or very young adults. Thanks to our ableist and psychophobic society, a lot of the time people have no idea that they not only can get help, but deserve help.
(This is one of the many reasons why I loudly and proudly identify as disabled today, because I think people with psychiatric disabilities are encouraged by family, friends and sometimes the disability community itself to just shut up.)
The worst thing of all was how profoundly ignorant most students at my school were about depression, however. When you're 18 years old and nobody wants to be your fucking friend because you're "weird" and "clingy" and "intense," it does a lot of damage that takes years to deal with.
But yeah. PWD don't have the time or the spoons to get all of our course work done, deal with the isolation and the physical/mental exhaustion and then go out and tell abled people on campus to treat us like human beings.
@AWV. EXACTLY. The adiminstration's "let them eat cake!" attitude towards self advocacy is profoundly ablist and particularly psychophobic because it assumes that everybody is capable of advocacy (including, most tellingly for me, people with panic disorders/social anxiety, depression, and disabilities that impair communication).
Telling disprivileged people to just shut up and deal is what the administration has done. It's never just and it never works.

A note from our Life Bridge site at Great Hills. Last week, when registering students for ESL, I had the privilege of talking with a beautiful, young Christian woman from Iran. In her country, she had been secretly meeting for worship in a home, since Christians are persecuted there. Sadly, she was discovered and arrested. She was jailed and given a sentence of two years. She was in prison for all of three (probably very scary) days and was let out by giving collateral of some kind, but was under surveillance for two years. I don't know all of her story, but somehow she made it to the U.S. What impressed me the most was the joy she had in Jesus. There was no bitterness at her persecution, only trust in the One she loves and follows. She spoke the name of Jesus as someone who knows Him intimately. The joy she radiated was far greater than any language barrier between us. I often pray to God for encouragement, and she was definitely a wonderful answer to that prayer!

buttered popcorn movie month
Whether one loves or resents the studio, there is no denying just how big of an impact Disney has had on culture. Creating some of the most famous stories of all time with iconography that still is iconic today, the studio has continued to release feature after feature to both critical and commercial success. 2023 happens to mark the 100-year anniversary of the founding of Walt Disney Animation Studios, known in 2023 as Disney Brothers Cartoon Studio, so it seemed fitting to dive into the world of Disney with Buttered Popcorn Movie Month 2023! Every day in January a different Disney film will be reviewed spanning from the their first feature, 1937's Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, to 2021's Encanto!
The only problem is simply how many Disney films there are with the studio releasing 61-features at the time of this writing. With only 31 days in January, there simply is not enough time to cover every feature, even when one removes the 6 features that have already been reviewed on the site. As a result, for the first time ever it won't only be Buttered Popcorn Movie Month dedicated to Disney but every annual series on Buttered Popcorn. Both Animation April and September Classics will be dedicated to reviewing Disney films and due to the sheer amount of them, there will also be bonus reviews outside of these series to ensure all 61 features get covered. 2023 is going to be a year long celebration of Disney on Buttered Popcorn and that kicks off with Buttered Popcorn Movie Month!

Cleveland inks Stewart and Oka
Stewart returns for second season, club adds Portland's Oka
Cleveland City Stars News Release – www.clevelandcitystars.com
CLEVELAND, OH — The Cleveland City Stars announced the return of Ryan Stewart and the addition of Portland's Arsene Oka for the 2009 season.
Ryan Stewart will return to Cleveland for his second season after re-signing over the weekend. The club also reached an agreement with an experienced and internationally recognized player in Arsene Oka from the Ivory Coast. Both contracts are pending U.S. Soccer approval and international clearance.
Ryan Stewart enters his second season with the City Stars after putting in a fine rookie season in 2008. The native of Mayaro, Trinidad and Tobago totaled 602 minutes in 11 matches last season and recorded four goals and one assist. Stewart came on strong down the stretch, notching all nine points in the season's final seven matches and chipped in an assist in the City Star's first round playoff victory over the Western Mass Pioneers.
Stewart came to Cleveland after a distinguished college career at Lindsay Wilson College in Columbia, Ky. The shifty Stewart was a three-time NAIA All-American selection and the NAIA Region XI Player of the Year in 2007. Stewart amassed 15 goals and 5 assists as a senior and ranks 4th all-time at Lindsay Wilson College with 53 career goals.
«The Cleveland City Stars are thrilled to have Ryan Stewart back for 2009. He came in a little late last season because he was finishing college and he struggled a bit with injury, but the fans of Cleveland saw flashes of brilliance,» said Cleveland City Stars Executive Director Aaron Tredway. «He's very crafty on the ball and he can break teams down with his technical ability. I think he's a rising star.»
Arsene Oka comes to Cleveland after playing last season with the Portland Timbers of the USL First Division. The native of Abidjan, Ivory Coast totaled 225 minutes in seven matches with the Timbers last season. Prior to joining Portland, Oka played in MLS with the New England Revolution during the 2006-07 season.
Oka has also represented his country as a member of the Ivory Coast U17, U20, and U23 national teams.
«Arsene is a player that we signed from the Portland Timbers, and he was formerly with the New England Revolution,» said Tredway. «He has a lot of pace up the wing and we expect big things from Arsene Oka. This is a good signing for the Cleveland City Stars as Arsene fully believes in the team mission of Serving the City and Changing the World.»

In this technological age, Americans find it harder than ever to engage in physical activity like they did in times past, thus making it extremely difficult to maintain an overall sense of physical and mental wellness. But sedentary behavior is not the only wellness problem infiltrating American culture today.
Stress, health problems, mental illness, professional and/or personal relational conflicts, financial burdens, and/or the lack of resources (or the lack of awareness about them), have an affect on employees, both personally and/or professionally, and also your workplace.
Employers can invest in their employees and the future of their company by offering wellness programs to their workers. An informed employee makes a well-balanced employee, and a well-balanced employee fills a company with happy, productive workers who strive to beneficially contribute to their employer's continued growth and success.
The recommended level of physical activity to produce the maximum health benefits is 30 minutes of moderate physical activity 3-5 days per week. Employees who stay fit will be present on a consistent basis and produce and perform better.
Healthy eating is critical to prevent and manage weight and obesity. Eating fruits, vegetables, and whole grains will help stop chronic diseases such as cancer, stroke, and heart disease. Healthy eating improves productivity as well. Employees often eat and drink at work, so strategies and policies that improve the food culture is beneficial.
Offer appetizing, low-cost, healthy options, such as fruits and vegetables, 100% fruit/vegetable juices, and low-fat dairy products in vending machines, cafeterias and break rooms.
Offer healthy food substitutes during meetings, company functions, etc.
Provide interactive food opportunities such as taste testing, food preparation skill sharpening, etc.
Provide participation incentives for nutrition or weight management activities.
The Centers for Disease Control states that smoking costs the nation $167 billion a year in healthcare costs and lost worker productivity. The CDC estimates each smoking employee costs a company $3,391 per year—including $1,760 in lost productivity and $1,623 in excess medical expenses. Smoking cessation programs have not only shown an immediate and long-term return on investment, but an increase in employee productivity as well.
Create a policy prohibiting tobacco use anywhere on company property.
Promote the Tobacco Quit Line.
Support employees participating in smoking cessation activities.
Provide an individual, group, or telephone counseling program sponsored by a health plan.
Below are 7 examples of workplace wellness programs based on the acronym L.E.A.D.E.R.S.
There are wellness programs available for company budgets of all sizes. If a business can't afford a costly fitness center, maybe it can afford a single workout room. Small things can make a big difference, like encouraging employees to use the stairs in the building, or providing walking maps at the reception desk..


Air conditioners basically work through a series of chemical and thermodynamic reactions which extract heat from the air in your home. First the thermometer detects that the temperature is above the pre-set amount and engages the air conditioner. The air intake system around your house then draws in the warm air that is currently in your home.
Once the warm air reaches the air conditioner it interacts with the system's refrigerant. The refrigerant is a chemical which is able to transition between liquid and gaseous states quickly, this chemical is usually glycol. The heat is absorbed by the refrigerant, turning it from a liquid to a gas. The gaseous substance then moves through the air conditioner to an exhaust area, generally some kind of heat sink. When it gets to this point the heat is then transferred out of the refrigerant and the chemical returns to its liquid state, where the cycle begins anew.
The air that has passed through the air conditioner is then blown back out into you home through the ducts by means of the blower. This effectively removes the hot air from your house, rather than just adding cold air.
