As a certified Yoga instructor and Nutritionist, I know how important (and sometimes challenging!) it is to maintain a healthy and active lifestyle. Since the emergence of social media, there is an overabundance of information on what to eat, what not to eat, when to eat, the best diet for you, etc. Should you put butter in your coffee? How many calories should you be eating daily? Should you use coconut oil or olive oil? What are the best foods to eat right after a workout? It can be overwhelming and confusing!
This is where I come in. I received my Bachelor's in Science Degree from Arizona State University in Human Nutrition in 2010. It's not just my degree, it is my passion. I love learning about different foods, how they affect our bodies, and the science behind it all. I also have a huge passion for cooking and trying new foods and recipes. You can find me every Sunday morning on my couch with a hot cup of coffee watching The Food Network Channel picking up tips and ideas on different recipes. It's my Sunday happy place.
I'm excited to invite you to join me in The Foundry Best Self Nutrition Challenge! My main goal for this 8-week challenge is to provide you with all of the tools you will need in order to succeed in reaching your nutrition goals. Your challenge is to follow the guidelines and 8 weeks of meals laid out for you. Each week we will go over different topics to answer your questions from smart grocery shopping to meal prepping to staying properly hydrated to calorie intake. We will cover it all.
I am a big believer in practicing what I preach. The way I approach this challenge is the way I live my life. If you were to tell me that I had to forever give up my mom's green chile burritos because it wasn't "clean," I would say, "You're crazy. I'm out." There is a way to enjoy the foods you love while still reaching your goals. It's called balance. And it is exactly how I live my life. Life and food are meant to be enjoyed! Having the knowledge to maintain that balance is the key. That is what I will provide with this challenge. Along with recipes, a weekly meal plan for all 8 weeks, grocery lists, batch cooking techniques, check-ins, healthy tips, and more.
Whether you are looking to lose weight, pack on some lean muscle, learn how to cook healthy meals, or just want to learn more about fueling your body with the right foods - this challenge is for YOU. Do this Nutrition Challenge along with your 50 in 60 studio challenge for even better results! And guess what? I will be joining you - signing up for the 50 in 60 challenge and participating in the Nutrition challenge myself! I'll be with you every step of the way.
Don't wait - spots are filling up and our Early Bird Discount ends December 25th! Our first meeting is Saturday, December 30th, 8:30am - 10:00am at The Paradise Valley Studio or 11:00am - 12:30pm at the Tempe Rio Salado Studio, whichever is more convenient for you! I will provide your first week's meal plan, grocery list, and cover all of the details of the next 8 weeks so you are ready to start on January 1st!
Happy Holidays and I will see you in the New Year on your journey to creating your Best Self! You DESERVE it!
My favorite season is the fall. I love when the leaves turn colors (sometimes have to travel to see it) and the weather starts to get the way I like it! It becomes perfect for nights on the patio, afternoon bike rides, and hiking. Summer ends…fall begins… and then we do it again the next year. We accept that there are seasons in the weather…but there are also seasons in our life. Everything has an ebb and a flow. In some ways both are similar to transitioning from one yoga pose to another. We all have moments of joy and clarity and moments of sorrow and fear. We have new love come into our lives and loved ones we cherish leave our lives. This is life…seasons.
Yoga class is ultimately about self-awareness and self-realization. Bikram yoga helps us to be conscious of our breathing and more aware of ourselves. Yoga poses challenge us… in a hot, stinky, difficult position… can you breathe? can you find peace… and can you find joy?
It is through continued yoga practice; putting ourselves in a challenging environment that we get better and better at finding peace no matter what is happening around us. Through yoga, we eventually reach that point of bliss where nothing…no one… can steal our peace away.

These are my top 5 herbs to support my Bikram Yoga practice. When I use them, I use them consistently for a period of time in order to supplement my practice; however, I do not use them on a constant, month-to-month basis (except for Coconut Oil, which I do use everyday, often a few times a day for skincare, haircare, and also for cooking). I cycle them in and out of my routine depending on where my body is at and what it needs.
The literal translation of Ashwagandha in Sanskrit means "One who possesses the strength of a horse"
Helps people deal with physical stresses.
Rhodiola appears to augment physical and mental work aptitude and productivity.
It strengthens the nervous system, immunity, exercise capacity, energy levels, memorization, mood, and may even lengthen lifespan.
These may work for you or they may not. I do not take them all at the same time. I do not have any official herbal training (please consult your specialist to see if these are right for you). It is up to you to take from this list of supportive herbs what you will and try them as you wish. Enjoy!
From the Urban Yoga Blog, written by "Kim"
Savasana translates to corpse pose. It is the final pose of a yoga practice. In savasana the body is still, the breath flows naturally, and if you're lucky the mind becomes quiet and there is this essence of dropping into one's self.
Savasana can be the most challenging part of a class. We are invited to just be, cultivating effortlessness and non-doing. This can be tough for many of us, living in this multi-tasked, fast-paced lifestyle that has become the standard of normalcy in our country. Our minds and our bodies are not used to being quiet.
The good news is that we are already making an effort to create some sort of connection, just by walking through the doors of the studio and showing up to class. On the other hand, many of us feel like we don't have time to do nothing for ten minutes, we just have too much to do. Coming from a self-titled savasana addict, here are some reasons to stay for savasana.
#1 Savasana is a crucial part of the practice.
It allows for the assimilation and integration of the "work" done throughout the practice.
Imagine your body is a garden. Your asana coupled with mindful breathing is the planting of the seeds in your garden. These seeds are powerful and potent. They are the seeds of transformation. They allow us to shift and transform our own energy, freeing ourselves from illusion, learned tendencies, and obstacles that may be hindering our personal growth.
Savasana is comparable to watering the seeds and giving them sunlight. Savasana nourishes these precious seeds of transformation so that they take root and begin to grow and transform in your body on a cellular level.
Not a gardener? Try this, your practice is equal to sitting at the computer and doing work, writing, emailing, designing, and/or researching, whatever your work is. Savasana is comparable to saving your data. You would never spend an hour doing work on the computer, then not save it, am I right?
#2 Savasana triggers the para-sympathetic nervous system, our rest and restore responses.
Our heart rate slows and the breath becomes smooth and steady. We are creating space for healing and deep relaxation from within. The result of this is that we are better equipped to navigate through life off of the mat. By allowing space for healing and rest with in ourselves, we are able to take care of our responsibilities off the mat from our overflow, not depleting ourselves energetically. It takes about seven minutes to really settle in. If you can, I suggest a good ten minutes at least, for an hour and fifteen minute practice.
#3 [As it says in the Yoga Sutras], Yogas chitta vritti nirodha, yoga is the stilling of the mind.
The physical practice of asana is meant to be a pre-cursor, a "warm-up" if you will, to prepare yourself for seated meditation.
We may get glimpses of this stilling through out our asana practice, small spaces between action, where the mind is calm, the body supported, and the breath steady. However, we are consciously focused on breath and body. There is still a sense of "doing".
Savasana is an invitation to let go of all trying and doing; to be completely open to doing nothing. We are invited to unplug from the busy monkey mind, and in turn, plug into the deep well of peace, support, and knowing that is essentially our true nature.
When this connection occurs, there is a sense of clarity and contentment.
For many of us, savasana may be the first time in our lives where we feel at peace, like we are welcoming ourselves back home. This feeling, this connection, is often what sparks an interest in developing a deeper spiritual practice. This starts with meditation, which leads to the stilling of the mind. The more you meditate the easier it is to connect to that stillness when life gets crazy. It's kind of like muscle memory, but for the soul, you tap in and connect to source, to stillness, again and again, and over time that current of support and ease is more readily available. This allows us to act from a place that resonates with our deepest longings and is in tune with our essential nature. Life becomes enjoyable, not just manageable.
Savasana is truly a gift to give your self. Every one deserves ten minutes a day to be still and connect to peace. Every person I know could use a bit more not doing and just being in their life, (myself included). The next time savasana rolls around, […] get comfy. Your nervous system needs it, and you deserve it. You may find that your perspective of savasana moves from "I don't wannasana" to "so-awe-some-nah".

By: Adrian Padeanu
The 2014 Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG will get a power hike and 4MATIC system. Goes on sale in Europe next spring.
The 2014 Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG will get a power hike and 4MATIC system.
It seems that WCF sources were spot on regarding the facelifted E63 AMG as the updated variant will get a tweaked 4MATIC all-wheel drive system with 67/33 (rear/front axle) torque distribution, whereas the less powerful E-Class models fitted with 4MATIC have a 55/45 torque split, in a move to ensure a sportier handling for the hotter variant. AMG's CEO Ola Källenius said it's quicker on the track than previous RWD configuration.
In the United States, the 2014 E63 AMG will be sold exclusively with the 4MATIC, while for the other markets Mercedes-Benz will sell both versions. AWD models will be heavier as the 4MATIC hardware will add approximately 130 lbs (59 kg) which will make it one of the heaviest vehicles in the segment.
The twin-turbo, 5.5-liter V8 engine will see its output increased from 525 HP (386 kW) to 550 HP (405 kW), while torque will go from 516 lb-ft (699 Nm) to 531 lb-ft (719 Nm). It will enable the updated E63 AMG to perform the 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) run in less than 3.5 seconds and complete the quarter mile in the high 11 seconds at 125 mph (201 km/h).
The Performance Package will return for the facelifted model and will increase power by at least 26 HP (19 kW) and 26 lb-ft (35 Nm) of torque, with a top speed raised from 155 mph (249 km/h) to 186 mph (299 km/h).
Expect to see an unveiling in Detroit, followed by a spring launch in Europe and a summer arrival in the United States.

This article is about setting up a dynamic message of the day (possibly informative and fun) as header of each newly opened shell.
The script file can be easily configured and extended to suits the your needs. Colors can also be easily customized.
In this post I will describe how to get started with the latest versions of hadoop and hbase describing all the step to obtain a working hadoop installation. The steps described here can be easily used to perform a working installation on a large cluster (even tough it can requires additional steps as shared filesystem for instance).
This article present a CUDA parallel code for the generation of the famous Julia Set. Informally a point of the complex plane belongs to the set if given a function f(z) the serie does not tend to infinity. Different function and different initial condition give raise eventually to fractals. One of the most famous serie is (the one that generated the video below).
Here a video, showing a sequence of picture generated using different initial conditions. A nice example of how math and computer science can produce art!
The code is such that it is very easy to change the function and the initial condition (just edit the device function functor).
The code above are the GPU instructions that are devoted to the computation of a single set. The kernel computeJulia() is executed on DIMX*DIMY (the dimension of the image) threads that indipendently compute the evolveComplexPoint() function on the converted to complex corrensponding pixel indices, the viewport (each threads compute a single pixel that has integer coordinates). The evolveComplexPoint() take care of checking how fast che point diverges.
The code is available here on github. It generates a number of png tha can be then merged in a video (as the one I present here) using a command line tool as ffmpeg.
In order to compile and run it need the CUDA SDK,a CUDA capable device and libpng installed on your system.
nvcc -I"/usr/local/cuda-6.5/samples/common/inc"  -O3 -gencode arch=compute_35,code=sm_35  -odir "src" -M -o "src/juliaSet.d" "../src/juliaSet.cu"
nvcc  -I"/usr/local/cuda-6.5/samples/common/inc" -O3 --compile --relocatable-device-code=false -gencode arch=compute_35,code=compute_35 -gencode arch=compute_35,code=sm_35  -x cu -o  "src/juliaSet.o" "../src/juliaSet.cu"
Linux Kernel especially in the past years was plenty of different and replicated implementation of generic data structures such as linked lists, stacks and queues. Kernel's developers decided to provide a unique set of API for using these kind of software machineries. We will briefly look in this article at the list.h file (in the linux source tree under /usr/src/linux-headers-`uname -r`/include/) that provides macros and function for utilizing a doubly linked circular list. It is a very smart written piece of code that is worth to take a look at as it is an opportunity to improve C programming skills and at the same time to see an "unconventional" implementation for a common data structure.
The canonical implementation of a C's linked list consists of a structure and two (for a doubly linked) recursive pointer fields to the structure itself. The links to the previous and subsequent element of the list.
Finally at my Departement we succesfully converted an unsed Apple xserve cluster to a full functional Linux/Debian machine.
The cluster is make up of eleven node connected by Myrinet 10G low latency network and each node is a composed by a dual 4x cores Intel Xeon 2.8 Ghz Harpertown with 10Gb of DDR2 for a total of 88 cores. It is a quite old and small machine and hence was unused. We thought that it could have been useful if well re-configured as an ad-hoc machine for small sized scientific computation session, as developing and testing platform of parallel application or for training of undergraduate students that can experience directly with a real parallel machine. So we decided to cast a new light on it by configuring it as a Debian cluster (according to google just few people did it).

UFC 253: Israel Adesanya says 'perfect antagonist' Paulo Costa is 'juiced up' to the gills
Israel Adesanya isn't so sure that Paulo Costa is a clean UFC athelete despite never failing a drug test.

Share All sharing options for: UFC 253: Israel Adesanya says 'perfect antagonist' Paulo Costa is 'juiced up' to the gills
Israel Adesanya has said Paulo Costa's muscular physique will make his victory against "Borrachinha" even sweeter when they fight at UFC 253 next month.
Adesanya (19-0) is scheduled to defend his middleweight title against Costa (13-0) in the main event of UFC 253 on September 26th. Costa has received his fair share of doping allegations during his impressive run at middleweight, and "The Last Stylebender" told ESPN he isn't sold on his opponent being a clean athlete.

"I think it's great for me, it's that aesthetic of it. I'm this skinny person, this little frail kid that everyone looks at," Adesanya said. "He looks like the perfect antagonist, he's big, bulky and juiced up to the f—king gills. He's a guy that beats everybody on the fence, so when I come out there with the Bruce Lee shit and fuck him up, it's going to be 'oh my god wow, he beat that big muscle boy."
Adesanya, who recently said he still has plans to move up to challenge Jon Jones even at heavyweight, defended his middleweight title for the first time this year, when he defeated Yoel Romero in a lackluster decision in March. Meanwhile Costa hasn't fought since defeating Romero back in November of last year.
"The casuals are going to feed off it and I love that," Adesanya said. "It means more eyes and more attention."
Despite taking place next month, UFC 253: Adesanya vs. Costa is without a location or venue to its name yet.

The route follows the almost vertical south arete of the lower summit of the peak. First climbed by Comici, Varale and Zanutti in 1933.
The difficulties of this route are not very big. The main problem is that the route is overrun and thus polished smooth. On nice days one must expect to wait at least 2 hours.
The first and second pitches are truly polished smooth. Whoever is not used to such conditions will lose a few drops of sweat. Only after the 8th pitch can one speak of pleasure climbing. Only then is one truly on the "Spigolo Giallo" or "Gelbe Kante" (Yellow Edge). The exposure is really neat and the view downward between yourlegs to the Lavaredo Hut will take your breath away!
350 meters vertical, about 13 pitches, 5 hours (excluding wait times).
From the Auronzo hut on the usual trail to the Patern saddle. After the smal chapel, turn left onto a narow path and reach in 15 minutes the foot of the wall of the Kleine Zinne. The start of the climb is at a definite corner. The Lavaredo Hut may also serve as a base. 20 minutes from the hut to the start.
After 2 to 3 pitches in the corner, the route at first runs through somewhat easier terrain (UIAA II). A groove and then a short wall is climbed to a traverse to the left. The one climbs to the edge of a yellow colored arete edge and follows it toi a final vertical section. One can now climb somewhat easier to the right . Staying on the arete itself is harder and there is loose rock. After reaching the lower summit (Anticima) of the Cima Piccola (Kleine Zinne) one traverse the saddle easily to the summit of the Cima Piccola via the usual Innerkofler route.
Descent is via the rappel route, which one reaches after crossing the saddle. Be careful in the gully after rappelling. There are routes both sides of the gully and one be careful of rockfall.
8 to 10 Express slings, Freinds or other cams and a few slings. A 60 meter rope is sufficient.

Ron Paul Tweet on Chris Kyle Death Sparks Controversy
by Free Britney at February 5, 2013 10:58 am .
Former Congressman and presidential candidate Ron Paul is stirring up controversy with a Tweet about the death of Chris Kyle over the weekend.
Kyle, a retired Navy SEAL who authored the best-selling American Sniper about his tours of duty in Iraq, was shot dead with a friend over the weekend.
Eddie Ray Routh, who admits killing Kyle, is said to be a PTSD-suffering former Marine Chris was trying to help by taking him shooting at a hunting range.
Ron Paul had this to say on Twitter Monday:
"Chris Kyle's death seems to confirm that 'he who lives by the sword dies by the sword.' Treating PTSD at a firing range doesn't make sense."
Paul opposes gun control, saying after the Newtown shooting that "more guns equals less crime" and that "private gun ownership prevents many shootings."
He also opposes U.S. military interventionism.
Kyle, also an outspoken gun-rights advocate, earned a reputation as one of the top snipers in military history, so Paul's Tweet was not well received by many.
Later, he tried to explain on Facebook, writing:
"As a veteran, I certainly recognize that this weekend's violence and killing of Chris Kyle were a tragic and sad event. My condolences and prayers go out to Mr. Kyle's family."
"Unconstitutional and unnecessary wars have endless unintended consequences. A policy of non-violence, as Christ preached, would have prevented this and similar tragedies."
That not-quite-apology didn't do the trick for some critics, and even some of those close to Ron Paul tried to distance themselves somewhat.
His son, U.S. Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY), said in a statement:
"Chris Kyle was a hero like all Americans who don the uniform to defend our country. Our prayers are with his family during this tragic time."
One undisputed fact? For better of for worse, this is the genuine Ron Paul, a man who doesn't shy away from speaking his mind, even if it's controversial.
Paul has long opposed American military action. That's not news.
Nor is he necessarily wrong. But what some see as contempt for the men and women who carry out the missions he opposes is a different story.
What do you think of Ron's Tweet? Is he just speaking his mind and saying what a lot of people are thinking? Or was it ill-timed or even offensive?

In the expected marquee event, Virginians dominated the boys mile, led by Pete Dorrell's (Blacksburg VA sr) 4:16.81 triumph. Hot on his heels were Joe LoRusso (Oakton VA) 4:17.83 and Logan Collins (Orange County) 4:18.55
Foot Locker finalist Marc Dennin (Boyertown PA), fifth in the mile, rebounded from that disappointment to take the boys 3200 in 9:25.98
Green Run VA senior hurdler Charisse Bryant continued her solid indoor campaign with an 8.16 victory in the girls 55m hurdles.
The DMRs featured Maryland power Eleanor Roosevelt leading three girls squads under 13-minutes with their 12:49.43 victory over Battlefield VA (12:52.75), and Quince Orchard MD cruising to the boys win in 10:37.17
Corey Fuller (Woodlawn sr) and Olu Olamigoke (Mountain View sr) waged a battle over the triple jump pit, with Fuller prevailing by a quarter inch, 47-00.25 to 47-00.00
Fast relay wins turned in by Glasgow DE in the boys 4x200 (1:30.32) and DeMatha Catholic MD (3:29.11) in the boys 4x400.

Boys Mile
This is, without question, the finest boys mile field ever assembled for the Montgomery Invitational. It has all the elements needed to produce an unforgettable race – speed, strength, and experience. The large field boasts eight runners who have personal records of 4:20 or better. Last year, two athletes from this race were invited to compete in the Millrose Games, with runner-up Jason Weller of Boyertown, PA becoming the Millrose HS mile champion. Could this race produce three invitees this year? Another Millrose champion perhaps? No matter what, it will certainly provide each runner an opportunity to be part of a great race.
T J HOBART, Baldwin, PA - This young runner from Pittsburgh holds a PR of 4:12.30 as a sophomore and leads the pack of those who are looking for an invitation to new York..
PETE DORRELL, Blacksburg, VA - anyone who witnessed Dorrell's blistering performance at VA Tech last year knows that this miler is all business . . . and with a PR of 4:15.74, he'll definitely be looking for a ticket to the big dance.
LOGAN COLLINS, Orange County, VA – Collins could well be the big gun in this race. Although he has recently been flying under the radar, he has already posted a 4:17.6 during this indoor season.
CHRIS MOEN, Walter Johnson, MD – the defending Montgomery invitational. Champion and meet record holder - 4:17.33, had a disappointing outdoor season last year, but he rebounded with a strong finish in cross country and is off to a fast start indoors. You can never count out his ferocious kick!
MARK DENNIN, Boyertown, PA – Dennin is the Pennsylvania State cross county champion, was second at Footlocker NE and 12th at Nationals. With a 9:19 2-mile PR last year, this amazing runner will seek to destroy his 4:24 mile PR and join his teammate from last year as a millrose qualifier.
JOEY THOMPSON, Howard, MD – multi-time Maryland state champion, Thompson has PR's of 4:17 and 9:19 and is coming off of a great Cross Country season. This tall, lanky runner has deceptive speed and is more than ready for a big breakout race indoors.

Girls Mile
While this year's field for the Girls mile is not as deep as that of the Boys mile, it nonetheless promises an exciting, talent-packed race. This solid field is fairly evenly divided between Maryland and Virginia runners and it is highlighted by over half of the All-Met Cross Country team. This combination of seasoned veterans and speedy newcomers promises to push this race to a meet record and provides each athlete with a shot at the prestigious millrose mile.
MORGANE GAY, Whitman, MD – Morgane holds the best PR of this group at 4:52 and is coming off her best Cross Country season ever. Her smooth flowing stride belies her tremendous speed and tenacity -- she will certainly have her sights set on a trip to NY.
LIA DiVALENTIN, Chantilly, VA – Lia was the all-met runner of the year in Cross Country and her 5:00 PR will certainly put her in the mix with any competitor in this race. this race could provide the impetus for her to achieve her first sub-5 minute mile.
TESHIKA RIVERS, E. Roosevelt, MD – Teshika, one of the thoroughbreds in the Eleanor Roosevelt stables, won an incredibly tough MD State 4a Cross Country championship. She is versatile, she is strong, she is fast and she is more than ready for a very big race!
ARIEL KARABINUS, Osbourn Park, VA and LOUISE HANNALLAH, Churchill, MD – These two all-met Cross Country runners really came into their own during the fall and they aren't letting off the gas during the indoor track season . Both possess 5:08 PR's and they are tough competitors at any distance.
AMIRAH JOHNSON, E. Roosevelt, MD and ALEX DOLL, Bethesda-Chevy Chase, MD – This duo brings a bit of mystery and the excitement of the unknown to the girls mile field. Johnson ran a 2:15 800m last year -- as an 8th grader -- and is now in the fold at Eleanor Roosevelt, while Doll ran 5:11 last week – in practice!

Arsenal: 5 Reasons Arsene Wenger Should Try Theo Walcott as a Striker
Vince Siu@vincetalksfootyTwitter LogoFeatured ColumnistSeptember 25, 2012
The cat's out of the bag.
Theo Walcott's decision to hold off on signing a new contract, according to BBC Sport, isn't because of money, but because he wants to play as a striker for Arsenal.
Given the natural conversion of his predecessor, a certain Thierry Henry, from an average winger into Arsenal's greatest goal scorer ever, Walcott has plenty to dream about.
So let's take a look at five reasons Arsene Wenger might just want to try Theo Walcott out as a central striker—and, as usual, feel free to have your say in the comments below.
He's Improved His Finishing
Walcott's finishing has been branded erratic, wayward and downright disappointing.
But his Arsenal career goal tally of 43 goals in 225 appearances—almost one in five—suggests that he might actually be a quite decent goal-scoring winger.
Add to that his 13 goals in the 2010-2011 season and 11 in 2011-2012, along with his strike for England in their Euro 2012 win over Sweden and his icing-on-the-cake goal against Southampton a couple of weeks ago, and we see a sign that Walcott has actually improved his finishing by quite a bit.
Perhaps moving into a striking berth might be just reward for his improvements.
He'd Be Quite Good to Spearhead a Counterattack
Whether his finishing has improved enough to justify a striking role or not, the indisputable biggest asset in Walcott's game is his pace.
While Arsenal's usual approach is to dominate possession of the ball and to outpass their opponents, one of their most fearsome attacking options is the counterattack.
With incredible pace and creativity added in the summer in the forms of Lukas Podolski and Santi Cazorla, and with Abou Diaby and Mikel Arteta supporting an attack-minded central midfield, Walcott would have an absolute feast off the chances they create.
And instead of losing the ball by a questionable crossing decision from the wing, Walcott could fully focus on being on the end of things, rather than in the mix.
You Don't Need Physique to Make It as a Lone Striker
Spearheading a counterattack—or spearheading any attack, period—naturally implies a lone-striker role.
But contrary to popular belief that only a player with the necessary physique and heading ability should fill that role, just look at Jermain Defoe's blistering start to the season over at Tottenham Hotspur.
Defoe's off-the-ball running and positioning have caused opponents untold problems this season, and he's made the most out of the chances set up by a creative Spurs midfield.
Walcott might still have some ways to go to learn that clever positional sense, but his pace and small stature will allow him to ghost past defenders or evade them entirely in the penalty area.
His Usual Role Isn't His Anymore
Of course, on the flip side, perhaps Walcott should get a chance up front because, well, his usual role is currently taken.
Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain has seemingly usurped his place in the right wing pecking order, while Cazorla could very well play that role to great effect.
Gervinho, another Arsenal forward caught between the front and the wings, has also begun the season in decent form—his ineffectual match against Manchester City aside—and has contributed to Walcott's current bench status.
So, Theo: Playing as a striker might not just be your dream; it might be your only hope to stay in this strong Arsenal squad.
Giroud Isn't Firing Just Yet
"Hope," because his competitors for a striking berth haven't set the world on fire just yet.
Marouane Chamakh is so far off the first-team picture that he doesn't even merit a mention in the battle for the striking role, Gervinho's curious inconsistency will (ironically) continue to let him down, and Lukas Podolski's creativity and defensive work sees him as Arsene Wenger's first choice on the left wing for now.
But the main thing that should keep Walcott going is that Olivier Giroud, Arsenal's big-money signing, hasn't scored yet, and indeed has been feeling the pressure.
The big saving grace for Giroud is that he has been playing well without scoring, contributing to Arsenal's attack and goal scoring with his positioning, off-the-ball running and passing.
Walcott will need to prove that he can score and play that striking role better than all of them.
He's been going on about it for a while, but this time it seems Walcott really does want to make that central striker's position his own.
Given Arsenal's good start to the season, perhaps Wenger might be tempted to keep the status quo for now, but Walcott might just have some merit in his arguments.
What do you think? Does Walcott have what it takes to lead Arsenal from the front? Should Wenger give him a chance as a striker? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.

Cabin #4 is the most centrally located cabin. Cabin occupants appreciate the ornamental crab tree out front. It allows them to sit in the shade on extremely hot summer days. In the spring when the tree is covered with pink blossoms it is beautiful..
Cabin #4 has been completely rebuilt from the ground up. A 2 bedroom unit, it is ideally suited to the needs of a couple of fishermen or a husband and wife searching for some rest and relaxation. It can easily sleep 4 people. The floor plan has changed but the layout is similar. The bedrooms are much larger, closets were eliminated. The bathroom is a bit smaller and the kitchen is more efficient. The living room is a bit larger but with a smaller dining area. Bedroom and living room floors are carpeted, the bathroom is tiled, and the kitchen has a laminate floor. New kitchen appliances are an added feature.
With knotty pine on the walls and ceiling it is possible to capture that "up north" cabin feeling.
The bathroom features a tub/shower combination and a pedestal sink. Privacy is not an issue when bedroom doors are closed. The smaller of the two bedrooms provides a full size bed. The main bedroom offers a couple of options. The standard full size bed has been replaced with 2 extra long twin size beds. The twin beds can be made up individually or together as a king size bed. With a good mattress pad we believe you will never know your king size bed is actually 2 extra long twin beds. Please specify how you wish to have the cabin prepared for your stay.

In this final episode of The Provocateur's miniseries for LGBT History Month 2018, we move the spotlight to contemporary Japan, its attitudes to homosexuality and the ways in which sexuality and gender play out in its gay bar industry. Japan has historically had few laws criminalizing homosexual sex, though a ban on anal sodomy was briefly enforced between 1872 and 1880. In the postwar period, as Japan entered its economic miracle, the leisure industry gained greater prominence and with it came the emergence of the first gay bars in the 1950s and 1960s. Just as the Western world experienced the sexual revolution in the latter half of the twentieth century, Japan's gay bar subculture can also arguably be seen as a marker of liberalizing attitudes to sexuality. At the same time, it combines Western-style norms of consumerism with a distinctly Japanese take on notions of leisure and service.
Today on The Provocateur I talk to Marcello Francioni, a PhD student in the department of anthropology and sociology at SOAS, University of London, to discuss masculinities and sexuality in contemporary urban Japan. We first talk about the norms of the service industry and what 'service' means in Japan, before going on to discuss the evolution of Marcello's research, the history of homosexuality in Japan and the relationship between language and gender in Tokyo's gay bars.

Sudan's military rulers fire top chief prosecutor, aids
Demonstrators rally near the military headquarters in Khartoum, Sudan, Monday, April 15, 2019. The Sudanese protest movement on Monday welcomed the "p
CAIRO (AP) — Sudan's ruling military council says it has fired the country's top prosecutor days after the military ousted autocratic president Omar al-Bashir.
Tuesday's statement by the council says its head, Gen. Abdel-Fattah Burhan, dismissed general prosecutor Omar Abdel-Salam and two of his aids.
The Sudanese Professionals Association, which has spearheaded the protests, has called for the dismissal of all top judges and prosecutors among a package of demands. Those include the prosecution of those behind the Islamist-backed military coup in 1989, the dissolution of all pro-government unions and a freeze on the assets of top officials in al-Bashir's government.
Last week, Sudan's military ousted al-Bashir following four months of street protests against his rule, then appointed a military council it says will rule for no more than two years while elections are organized.

Doctors, nurses and medical records
Peter J. McDonnell, MD
He is director of The Wilmer Eye Institute, The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, Baltimore, and chief medical editor of Ophthalmology Times.
An alert Ophthalmology Times reader shared with me a recent editorial from that other respected publication, The New York Times. Titled "Doctors, Nurses and the Paperwork Crisis That Could Unite Them," the editorial is written by a professor of medicine at New York University and a faculty member at the University of Pittsburgh School of Nursing.
Previously by Dr. McDonnell: Perils of Project Nightingale
Broken system
As suggested by its title, the article posits that physicians and nurses don't get along in an American healthcare system described as "broken, wasteful, inhuman, expensive, deadly." They assert that "too often, each profession sees the other as fighting separate battles, and sometimes against each other.
Doctors blame nurses, and vice versa, for the failings of a system that punishes us all, and our patients. Physicians earn more than nurses and have much higher status in the medical hierarchy, which can lead to resentment from nurses when that higher status is abused.
It noted that "the gendered history of both professions also contributes to a view of nurses as fundamentally subordinate to physicians."
The authors go on to say that "nurses and physicians must come together" to oppose a shared unfair burden: excessive demands for documentation in electronic medical records.
Related: Hospital closures hurt
Citing a report from the National Academy of Medicine that says the average doctor and nurse are spending 50% of the workday documenting in the computer, they feel that the two professions should speak with one voice to address this problem and the associated burnout.
"Doctors would be wise to let nurses take the lead" say the authors, because nurses have strong unions and doctors don't. "The Service Employees International Union and National Nurses United represent nurses all over the United States and in general are good at getting their demands met."
I found myself having a couple of reactions to this argument. My first reaction may relate to my being an ophthalmologist, or it might relate to the culture of the institution where I work, but I have never heard one of my physician colleagues blame nurses for any ills of our U.S. healthcare system.
Related: Ars longa, vita brevis
Dedication of nurses
Rather, I frequently hear praise for the skill, dedication and caring exhibited by our nurses (and I am told this in private conversations when there is no ulterior reason that might be attributed).And that goodwill is reciprocated, as far as I can tell.
Each of us can have a bad day, perhaps, when we get a little cranky, but my experience tells me that the typical doctor-nurse relationship that I observe is one of mutual respect and admiration, and nothing like the finger pointing and blaming for healthcare ills described in the Times editorial.
But I do agree with the thesis that the burden of documentation has become excessive. The authors state that the model we should move toward is that of the Veterans Administration hospitals, where we are told the clinicians like their electronic records system.
Related: Blue-state blues
The reason given for this is that "billing concerns don't shape the records at government-run V.A. hospitals. They document only what's necessary to deliver better care."
I would love to know what you, dear Ophthalmology Times readers, think about this issue. Do you ever find yourself or hear physician colleagues blaming nurses for the ills of the U.S. healthcare system? And do those of you who work in the Veterans Administration system actually like your electronic records and think it should be the model going forward? Read more by Dr. McDonnell

RIP Kent (1990-2016)
Relax. Nobody died.
One of my favorite rock bands, Swedish Kent, has decided to call it quits. Here's why that's no real catastrophe.
After 26 active years, the band will release their final album, "Då som nu för alltid", this year, pushing the number of released studio albums to a very respective 14. The album will be followed by a Scandinavian tour, concluding with the closing concert on 17 December.
I first discovered Kent when they released their third album, Isola, back in 1997, but didn't really fall head over heels in love with the band until the release of their fourth album, Hagnesta Hill. After that, I obtained copies of what I missed from their back catalog and continued to purchase new Kent releases on CD up until the 7th release, Tillbaka till samtiden, in 2007. From there on out, Spotify has covered my musical needs, including new Kent releases. Over the years I've also gone to a fair number of Kent concerts, and my closet is full of well-worn, washed out, and too small band t-shirts - because you don't throw away band t-shirts.
Kent is the band I had my most profound musical experience with - it involved Hagnesta Hill, alcohol and snow. During the Christmas of 1999, I'd spent an evening and the better part of a night partying at a friend's house. Going home in the early - but still dark - hours of a new day, on snow covered sidewalks and roads, concentrating hard to walk in a straight line (but failing miserably), I was listening to Kent playing "Kungen är död", when it started to snow heavily. At that moment, everything was perfect: It was the just right combination of being tired and drunk from a long night of drinking, feeling exactly warm enough with the help of my winter clothes and the booze, and the calm of the snow and the abandoned streets. It's probably the closest I've ever been to a religious experience.
In my humble opinion, Hagnesta Hill was Kent's musical highlight, and it's been a slow, downwards spiral for the band after 1999. I guess it's natural for a band to develop their sound, or they risk going stale. In the progress, Kent gradually transitioned from being a rock band to more of a rock-synth band, with an increasing number of electronica elements in their music, a change that didn't sound well in my ears. "Progressively boring" would be a fitting description of what has happened to Kent's sound from 1999 up until today.
But despite my reservations about the modern version of Kent, they've managed to stay popular with their fans, and despite mainly singing in Swedish, the band has somehow managed to build up a sizable fanbase outside of Scandinavia over the years. In an attempt to conquer the world, they also released English versions of two of their albums, Isola and Hagnesta Hill. After having listened to the Swedish version of these two albums extensively, hearing the English versions is surreal. The English texts are not direct translations of the Swedish versions - that probably wouldn't have made much sense1- but it often sounds like they are singing about something completely different in the in the Swedish and English versions of a particular song. Let's look at the opening lines from the song "Music Non Stop" as a quick example:
"Jag behövde en hundradels sekund / Nu när jag tagit beslutet är jag lugn" - Lyrics from "Music Non Stop" (Swedish version) by Kent
A (rough) direct translation to English would be something like this: "I needed a hundredth of a second / Now that I've made the decision I'm calm". The first two lines from the English version of the song, however, goes like this:
"Everybody gets a second in the sun / I have a feeling mine has just begun" - Lyrics from "Music Non Stop" (English version) by Kent
The Swedish and English versions of the song aren't even remotely similar. I don't know a thing about writing song lyrics, but it's all a bit weird. I'm not sure how much releasing English versions of their albums actually helped Kent grow their fanbase internationally, but I doubt that it had any real effect since they abandoned that particular strategy after the release of the English version of Hagnesta Hill in 2000.
While Kent has given me lots of great musical experiences, their departure is no great loss. For me, personally, they might have retired 10 years ago, without it making much difference. That said, they are leaving behind a great legacy as one of the most prominent Scandinavian rock bands. I wouldn't be too surprised if we're seeing a reunion tour within the next five years, people who have worked together for as long as the members of Kent have tend to come together again after a while.
RIP, fellas.
If you argue that Kent's lyrics often don't make much sense anyway, I wouldn't blatantly disagree with you. ↩
Rakal
I feel like I am losing a friend. Kent have played the soundtrack to my adult life…..and always will. So happy to have known their music. Wish them all the very best. Thank you for all the songs, a Scottish Swedish speaker. Through you I learned to speak Swedish. Tack sa mycket…..
2016-06-23 16:06:10 GMT (post author)
There are plenty of other great Swedish acts who are still active. Maybe you'll find a good substitute. And there's always Kent's backlog. That'll never go away.
Spot on fella. I fell in love with kent in about 2001. I am English and love the Swedish version of Hagnesta Hill. The later stuff has been good, some better than others, but Hagnesta Hill was the best. I am also a Depeche Mode fan and I have the same feeling about Violator.
I've never quite managed to get the hang of Depeche Mode. Maybe Violator is my album? I'll give it a try. Thanks!

Past research has consistently found a negative relationship between psychological age and health. Nearly all of that research, however, has been cross-sectional, and the few panel studies that exist include only a single aspect of health and measured with older adults. The present study sought to replicate and expand on a recent 2-wave cross-lagged panel investigation that explored the causal interplay between several dimensions of health and psychological age in middle age and older adults. In the current study employees (N = 409), ranging in age from 22 to 70, from six manufacturing organizations participated in three surveys approximately 1.5 years apart, and two clinical health assessments approximately 3 years apart. Using cross-lagged panel path analysis, negative relationships were found between psychological age and four types of health. Chronological age was found to moderate these relationships, with different predictive patterns discovered for older and younger individuals. Psychological age predicted health for older adults, while for younger adults health predicted psychological age. The pattern of the relationship varied for each aspect of health, and also across age groups. Two theories, stereotype embodiment theory and social comparison theory, may explain the dissimilarities between the age groups in the results. Future research should explore the effect that other moderators, such as gender and employment status, play in the association between health and psychological assessments of age.

Sony is buying anime streaming service Crunchyroll for $1.17 billion
Sony is doubling down on anime content
Plans to acquire premium anime streamer, Crunchyroll, from AT&T are already underway, the company announced in a statement made Wednesday. AT&T sold Crunchyroll for $1.17 billion.
The acquisition gives Sony a major edge. Crunchyroll has 3 million paying subscribers, all of whom will presumably be led to Sony's own anime streaming service, Funimation. Netflix, too, has sights on a piece of the anime pie, having produced original anime titles and licensed staples like One Piece, ahead of the forthcoming live-action adaptation.
"Combining the strength of the Crunchyroll brand and the expertise of our global team with Funimation is an exciting prospect and a win for the incredible art form of anime," said Joanne Waage, general manager of Crunchyroll.
"The union of Funimation and Crunchyroll is a win for anime fans around the world that will elevate the art and culture of this medium for decades to come," Colin Decker, CEO of Funimation Global Group.
THAT iconic Notorious B.I.G. crown just sold for almost $600,000
Crunchyroll's acquisition from AT&T means HBO Max subscribers will eventually lose access to a boatload of anime content. Interestingly, AT&T has been shopping for a new home for Crunchyroll for a while, so that it can zero in on HBO Max, arguably the conglomerate's baby, especially after the announcement that the whole Warner Bros. film slate will drop on the platform, including Wonder Woman 1984, Dune, The Conjuring 3 and more.

Dave Rowland, of Dave & Sugar, passes away
Dave Rowland
Press release from 2911 Media
Nashville, Tenn. – Dave Rowland, born Jan. 26, 1944, known to many in the music business as the founder and lead singer of hit-making group Dave & Sugar, died Nov. 1, 2018, in Nashville, due to complications from a stroke.
Before forming Dave & Sugar, Rowland was part of J.D. Sumner and the Stamps Quartet (who was touring with Elvis Presley at the time), and later the Four Guys. The Stamps Quartet was inducted into the Gospel Music Hall of Fame in 1988. He also was a prominent member of Country Music Hall of Fame member Charley Pride's road show.
By 1975, with Pride looking for a backup band, Rowland hired Jackie Frantz and Vicki Hackeman, and Dave & Sugar was formed.
After signing on with Pride's management team, Dave & Sugar signed with RCA Records and recorded their first album. The trio's first single, "Queen of the Silver Dollar" (written by Shel Silverstein) broke into the Top 25 of Billboard magazine's country singles chart in early 1976. Their second single "The Door Is Always Open," shot straight to the number one spot on the country charts, a driving, lushly produced track which expertly combined Rowland's resonant baritone with soaring harmonies.
Two successive singles, "I'm Gonna Love You," and "Don't Throw It All Away," used the same basic formula as "The Door Is Always Open," and also became huge hits in 1976-77. Their peak run garnered nearly one dozen Top 10 singles, including two more No. 1 hits – "Tear Time" (1978) and "Golden Tears" (1979). Overall, Dave & Sugar charted 16 times on the Billboard country charts.
Dave & Sugar was a slick sounding, soulful vocal trio that, during their heyday, was labeled "the country ABBA." Although their career was much shorter lived than that of Bjorn and crew, Dave & Sugar did share the Swedish group's knack for catchy tunes, sparkling production, and full, rich, male/female vocal arrangements. Their touring took them throughout North America, Europe, New Zealand and Italy, where the group played a command performance for the Mayor of Rome.
Rowland also toured with Conway Twitty, Hank Williams, Jr., Waylon Jennings, and Barbara Mandrell and was an opening act for Kenny Rogers for two years.
Rowland disbanded the trio briefly during the early 1980s to try a solo career, releasing an album entitled (appropriately) Sugar Free and charting two singles of his own. Rowland later reformed the trio with two new sets of "Sugar" partners.
Surviving Dave Rowland are his wife Terri Rowland, mother Ruby Rowland and sister Donna Fort and her husband Bob, of Palm Desert, Calif.; sister-in-law Angie Billis of Nashville, Tenn.; niece Vicki Martinka and husband John in Pennsylvania; and nephew Bobby Fowler, his wife Belen and their two children in Argentina.
In lieu of flowers, the family asks for donations in the name of Dave Rowland be sent to the Monroe Carrell Jr. Children's Hospital at Vanderbilt in Nashville. In 2014, Rowland was honored by the Music City Tennis Invitational in recognition of four decades of event participation with proceeds to benefit the hospital.
Arrangements are pending for a Celebration-of-Life service.

Q: dynamic sql in SSRS I have a dynamic SQL stored procedure returning multiple number of columns for different items.
For example, item1 - 5 columns, item2 - 4 columns
I am thinking of building SSRS reports using that stored procedure hoping to get multiple results.
For example, when click 'item1', it gives you that 5 columns sp can return whist click 'item2', it gives you that 4 columns sp can return
Can SSRS do this? When I use SP as a source for SSRS, it seems that the output is NOT dynamic as it only returns 'item1'
thanks
r

A: RS will read column metadata from the first result set of the query.
So I suggest you can add a table variable (fixed columns to support all your dynamic results) into your stored procedure, insert the dynamic query result into the table variable, and then select the result from the table variable.

A: what I did is to create a 'big table' in SSRS and manually create fields sp potentially returns and only display the columns based on the sp outputs by using 'viability' option
the only issue is that you need to manually configure each column to indicate under what circumstance it is supposed to appear

In India, most people from cities like Bangalore, Chennai, Pune, and Hyderabad depend completely on borewell water for drinking, due to the scarcity of water supply from lakes and rivers. The quality of borewell water changes during heavy rains or a prolonged summer, which leads to health hazards.
Since borewell water is extracted from deeper layers of the ground, it may contain impurities such as: bacteria, viruses, and heavy metals like fluoride, lead, arsenic etc. These elements make the water taste sour, smelly and hard to drink.
A good water purifier must be able to cope with regular usage and ideally be able to remove up to 1800 PPM (Parts Per Million) of TDS (Total Dissolved Solids) from your water.
Most households use nearly 1200 litres of water daily. Drinking water accounts for a significant portion from that amount. Finding a water purifier that has good filtration capacity (between 10-12 litres/hour) for frequent use is essential.
HUL's Pureit Classic RO + UV have a 12 litres/hour filtration rate with 5 litres of storage capacity, which is a good choice for small to medium families.
Given the large volumes of daily water consumption, filter life is also a factor one must consider. The taxing nature of cleaning borewell water means that your water purifier needs to have a long lasting tap to be easily maintainable without breaking down. A high maintenance purifier means more money out of your pocket after all!
To deal with the many types of impurities that borewell water may carry, you should ensure your water purifier comes with an RO + UV (Reverse Osmosis + Ultra Violet) purification to give you 100% fresh and pure drinking water.
HUL's Pureit Mineral RO + UV can easily eliminate the dissolved solids, organic and inorganic impurities. It also adds minerals post purification to enrich the taste of water. If technology is a key consideration for you, then this purifier is the cream of the crop.
Ensure you select a water purifier that can eliminate the maximum number impurities from borewell water. HUL's Pureit Mineral RO + UV removes 1 crore viruses and 10 crore bacteria in 1 litre of water.


It's Wednesday again! We have a new sketch for you at Freshly Made Sketches and this week Rita Wright is our sketch hostess. I love her cards and am always inspired with her creations. If you haven't visited her blog, then click here and check it out!
I wanted to make a fun birthday card for her. The balloons I've stamped are from Stampin' Up!s Balloon Adventures. I've stamped them in Melon Mambo and Pool Party. The sentiment I've used is from Happy Celebrations. And because I'm a work in progress with a watercoloured background, I decided to use the watercolour type stamp from Timeless Textures. I've stamped it Pool Party to just add a little bit of something behind the balloons.
The girls from Freshly Made Sketches have created gorgeous cards to inspire you. Head over to Freshly Made Sketches and take a look.
I'm back with the second card I created today. I've combined my card for two challenges – the colour challenge at Pals Paper Arts and the sketch challenge at Create with Connie & Mary Challenge.

Q: How to format a windows service with vs template? I'm creating a windows service in c# visual studio ultimate..
vs gives a template to use but I'm not sure where to put my code. there is program.cs
static class Program
{
    static void Main()
    {
        ServiceBase[] ServicesToRun;
        ServicesToRun = new ServiceBase[]
        {
            new Service1()
        };
        ServiceBase.Run(ServicesToRun);
    }
}

and service1.cs the sample code shows how im formatting it but im not sure that what im doing is right. ive searched quite a bit but cant find what way to structure my program
public partial class Service1 : ServiceBase
{
    Thread thread1;

    public Service1()
    {
        InitializeComponent();

        thread1 = new Thread(function);
        thread1.Start();
    }

    protected override void OnStart(string[] args)
    {
    }

    protected override void OnStop()
    {
    }

    public void function()
    {
        while (true)
        {
            //keep doing something
        }
    }
}

Where do I call the loop function? Where I've placed it or from the main?

A: Mine looks more like this:
public partial class Service1 : ServiceBase
{
    Thread thread1;
   Boolean running = false;

    public Service1()
    {
        InitializeComponent();

        thread1 = new Thread(function);

    }

    protected override void OnStart(string[] args)
    {
        thread1.Start();
        running = false;
    }

    protected override void OnStop()
    {
        running = false;
        thread1.Stop();
    }

    public void function()
    {
        while (running)
        {
            //keep doing something
        }
    }
}

A: Technically, there is nothing wrong with putting function() into the Service class. It is more a question of design at that point. For example, is what function() does similar to the other operations in the class? I would guess not, since the others relate to interaction between the class and the Service Control Manager (SCM).
However, there are two issues with the code:

*

*Start the thread in OnStart rather than in the constructor, since that is when the service starts.

*Include some way for the function to stop, such as a bool flag.

A: You should remember, that the constructor of Service1 will be executed not only when service will be started through SCM - it will be executed even if you will click at service executable in Explorer.
That's why to put any service payload into ctor is a bad idea - it is better to put service initialization code into OnStart method, and finalization code (e.g. stopping worker threads, cleaning up resources) - into OnStop method.
Note, that OnStart/OnStop methods are very limited on  their execution time.
If you're planning to execute heavy initialization code, consider using of lazy initialization, where it is possible.
Also, consider using ThreadPool/TPL instead of manually creating threads.

Q: append new criteria to actual search url during paging I am having hard times to append a new criteria to the existing url
say, i have this url after search-submit:
/found_items/?state=bla&score=bla

and in the result page, i have a paginator, i want that if you click on next button, the url above should remain and new ?page=number should be appended to this url.
next

what is happening now is, /found_items/?state=bla&score=bla is disappearing and becoming
/?page=number.
I want this: /found_items/?state=bla&score=bla&page=numer
how can i do this?

A: Doniyor,
I believe you may want to add the other parameters to the url when the page first loads, and you can set the state and score in the view so it populates those values in the rendered url. You can also set defaults for state and score in the view for when the visitor first comes to the page.
next

Or, if the GET parameters may be different for different renderings of the page, you could create the GET query string in the view and pass the whole thing to the anchor tag.  (The query_parameters variable would be created by the view)
next

There are probably a few other ways to do this, but this is how I've handled similar situations.
I hope this helps,
Joe
