"The body stubbornly clings to what it knows."
I found this phrase in a June 8, 2011 New York Times article about barefoot running.
and this makes me interested in the subject.
"Most of us grew up wearing shoes. Shoes alter how we move. An interesting review article published this year in The Journal of Foot and Ankle Research found that if you put young children in shoes, their steps become longer than when they are barefoot, and they land with more force on their heels.
Similarly, when Dr. Lieberman traveled recently to Kenya for a study published last year in Nature, he found that Kenyan schoolchildren who lived in the city and habitually wore shoes ran differently from those who lived in the country and were almost always barefoot. Asked to run over a force platform that measured how their feet struck the ground, a majority of the urban youngsters landed on their heels and generated significant ground reaction forces or, in layman's terms, pounding. The barefoot runners typically landed closer to the front of their feet and lightly, without generating as much apparent force."
and how it "stubbornly" attempts to keep that as the status quo.
when working toward weight-loss and maintenance of weight-loss.
Dr Collins, the way the body changes to adapt to how we eat and exercise is remarkable.

Help gamers build expectations about a game by sharing the essential information of what it offers.
Because every individual will build their unique set of expectations, the 3 Step Review methodology design allows readers to disagree with The Partisan Spy (TPS) and produce their own game evaluations. TPS's opinion is a reference for readers to adjust and build their own expectations.
The way to collect and publish the data is done in order to assure the objective and strategy success. There are two data sources: game developer and/or publisher released information and the game itself.
All gathered information from the first source (game publisher) is published to the reader with no editing or interpretation.
The information collected while playing the game is published in two variations:
1. The entire gameplay evaluation process (25 hours or until the game is 100% complete) is live-streamed or publicly posted on Youtube. This allows gamers to watch and make their own assessment about game variables.
2. The analysis and interpretation of this data are published as a game review made by The Partisan Spy.
Games to be reviewed are selected by The Partisan Spy following the criteria below:
1. Release data (preference to games still to be released)
2. Community interest
3. Unprecedented factor
Data Analysis
After the game is selected and data is collected in the 25 hours of gameplay, an assessment of this data is made (during gameplay, TPS mood is tracked and notes are made). The information is used to describe game variables and reasons for the selection of qualifiers. At the end of the evaluation, all these elements are summarized in a Cons x Neutrals x Pros graph.
Furthermore, to give gamers a conclusion about the game is suggested four possible choices and advice.
Variables and Qualifiers Description
The methodology counts with 6 variables. Some variables are more self-explanatory than others, for those that may bring different interpretations, follow below its description and qualifiers explanations.
A. USER INTERFACE
Defines how the player interacts with the game. It includes game mechanics, methods (keyboard and mouse control), and interfaces.
QUESTIONABLE: hard to understand, misleading design, simple actions made complicated and/or with bugs
TRADITIONAL: natural to players as replicates what already exists
INNOVATIVE: an unprecedented way to present the game behavior with low experimentation or need of tutorial to understand it
CONS x NEUTRALS x PROS CRITERIA
QUESTIONABLE: Potential to be CON or NEUTRAL, never PRO. The selection depends on the degree of influence the questionable elements have in the gameplay.
TRADITIONAL: Always NEUTRAL, never CON or PRO.
INNOVATIVE: Potential to be NEUTRAL or PRO, never CON. The selection depends on how well the interface runs.
B. STORY
Define the role of the story in the game. Its function is not to determine the quality of the story (good or bad).
HARMFUL: harms the gameplay experience
ABSENT: doesn't exist
TRIVIAL: only exist to give reason to game objective
SECONDARY: is part of the game but doesn't define the main objective of the game
GAME BASIS: conducts the gamer during the entire game and ends with the victory condition
HARMFUL: Always CON, never NEUTRAL or PRO.
ABSENT: Always NEUTRAL, never CON or PRO.
TRIVIAL, SECONDARY, and GAME BASIS: The game proposition and its result define how these qualifiers are classified. Potential to be CON, NEUTRAL, or PRO.
C. COMMUNITY POTENTIAL
Define the game potential of being a recurring topic among friends and the gaming community.
ABSENT: there is no potential of being a topic
LOW: has a chance of being a topic during its release
AVERAGE: has the potential of building a community around it
HIGH: has the potential of being a major game title for years to come
The game mode, genre, and title are factors considered when considering the classification of these qualifiers. The parameters defined for these criteria are:
PVE + GENRE + TITLE are expected to be between ABSENT and LOW.
PVE + COOP + GENRE + TITLE are expected to be between LOW and AVERAGE.
PVP + GENRE + TITLE are expected to be between LOW and HIGH.
Games with a performance potential at the low end will classify as CON.
Games with a performance potential as expected will classify as NEUTRALS.
Games with a performance potential at the high end will classify as PROS.
D. MOOD ANALYSIS
The final average result of the mood tracker. There are 9 different possible mood levels and every gameplay hour the high and low are listed. Each qualifier is self-explanatory to describe TPS mood.
CONS: WHY PLAY IT, HOPELESS, ANXIOUS and HOPEFUL
NEUTRAL: NORMAL
PROS: ENTERTAINED, EAGER, EXCITED, CAN'T STOP PLAYING IT
E. GRIND FEELING
The feeling of performing a repetitive task to reach an objective. The methodology measure this variable based on The Partisan Spy gameplay experience.
ABSENT: 0-5% of grind feeling during 25 hours of gameplay
TRIVIAL: 5,1-20% of grind feeling during 25 hours of gameplay
SECONDARY: 20,1-40% of grind feeling during 25 hours of gameplay
GAME BASIS: +40,1% of grind feeling during 25 hours of gameplay
(Variables were defined by secondary studies about games and what most influence gamers purchase decisions.)
Grind is considered a negative game variable unless it's the game proposition, in this case, the qualifiers classification is inverted.
ABSENT: Always PRO, never CON or NEUTRAL.
TRIVIAL: Potential to be CON or NEUTRAL, never PRO. It depends on the intensity of the grind.
SECONDARY: Potential to be CON or NEUTRAL, never PRO. It depends on the intensity of the grind.
GAME BASIS: Always CON, never NEUTRAL or PRO.
E. PRICE
The overall perception of what the game offers and its price tag.
CONS: Offers less compared to what it costs.
NEUTRAL: Balanced value between what it offers and what it costs.
PROS: Offers more compared to what it costs.

Choosing substance doesn't have to mean comprising on style. I can't stress enough how essential a good pair of trainers are for travelling, especially when you are to do weeks of walking. Ever since I began doing my annual trip back to the East, I've been gaining more and more of an appreciation, more and more of a love for comfy footwear. And never have I ever been a bigger fan of trainers.
Recently, I learned that a stylish pair of trainers are not only good for your feet and general well-being but they can also elevate your outfit to a new level of casual chic. With this lesson comes a few tips that I've picked up on choosing the right trainers for your future trips as well as your wardrobe.
Obviously looks are important, but I always value a comfy pair of trainers much more! My most expensive pair are so uncomfortable that it means I can't wear them for more than a few hours, which is really sad. Definitely need to invest in some white trainers next.
Fantastic entry Oliver, liked reading it.
Thanks John! Glad you enjoyed the post!
You have a real talent Oliver, your writing is light and easy to read and pertinent to a young market. Post every week on the same day each week.
Aww that's really nice to hear! Yeah, I'm trying to get a new post up every Sunday so be sure to check back weekly!
Oh my, I'd ruin those within hours, maybe even minutes 😉 I'm still all about brightly coloured Chuck's, I'm not sure I've shed that teenage part of me yet.
I'm with you on this one – I like white trainers, they look so cool!
I love the photos too, the overall concept – it's perfect for my Monday morning read!
Exactly! They're actually so easy to clean! I used to buy canvas/suede trainers and they got so filthy so quickly… I didn't want to risk chucking them in the washer so I kind of just let them 'go'… which is such a waste of money. ? Thanks for the comment, Andra!
I love a minimalistic style!
I would never buy white Converse… they're basically dirt-attracting machines in footwear form. Do consider a pair of leather ones though! They're great, although I do have to be extra careful but then again, there is always cheap trainer wipes you can get on eBay.
Damn Olivier, back at it with the white trainers. Ok sorry that's old.
Great shots as always Oliver! perfect trainers for Spring !
Thanks for the comment, Heather! Trainers are fab and so much more than just sportswear. Oh, I'm glad you like my blog! It means so much to me to hear that!
I have never owned a pair of Adidas but I've always been very tempted when I shop for shoes… maybe next time, so watch this space for a potential Adidas feature!

The United Nations, Western governments, and international relief agencies are setting up one of the most massive resettlement programs for war victims since World War II. Experienced foreign relief coordinators warn that the international task force, being created under UN auspices, faces severe problems.
The task force will have to repatriate Afghanistan's 5.5 million refugees and help in the reconstruction of devastated areas. Unless it does this with considerable political, as well as administrative, skill, these experts say, it will quickly get into trouble.
UN officials stress that they are permitted to deal only with officially recognized governments and not guerrillas. Officials from the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) say the Geneva-based organization has now been charged with heading the task force.
But most aid coordinators with experience inside Afghanistan believe the only effective way to run a long-term relief and reconstruction program is to work through the regional resistance commanders.
If the UN is perceived as propping up the Soviet-backed Kabul regime with aid, experts say, the resistance fighters would consider themselves justified in attacking the UN's blue-flag supply convoys and monitoring posts. And the resistance controls 80 percent of the countryside.
Pakistan insists that the April 14 signing of the Geneva accords does not imply recognition of the Soviet-backed People's Democratic Republic of Afghanistan (PDPA). Western diplomats, however, say the Kabul regime will seek to exploit the UN aid effort to obtain international respectability. The UN General Assembly has repeatedly condemned the Soviet invasion since 1980.
The UNHCR, the World Food Program, and other UN agencies have already contacted Afghan authorities about directing repatriation and resettlement programs primarily through Kabul. Relief sources say that some private voluntary agencies are preparing to move to the Afghan capital as soon as possible, whether or not the communists are still in power.
The Geneva-based International Committee of the Red Cross, whose mandate requires strict neutrality, is being cautious in its dealings with the PDPA. The organization only recently succeeded in improving relations with certain guerrilla commanders, who had viewed it as having a pro-Soviet bias.
Red Cross sources say they consider it within their humanitarian responsibilities to operate in areas firmly held by the guerrillas while maintaining a presence in Kabul.
The communists claim that more than 120,000 refugees from Pakistan and Iran, but also the United States, West Germany, and other countries, have come back so far, a figure disputed as ``absurd'' by most informed observers.
The PDPA also claims to have established refugee offices in almost all provinces, as well as tent camps and so-called ``peace hotels'' to receive 10,000 refugees at a time along the main highways leading from Pakistan and Iran. PDPA head Najibullah offered yesterday to set up a line of demilitarized zones along the Pakistan border as a means of allowing about 3 million refugees to return home safely.
Not only does the UNHCR lack the experience for such an operation, they say, but it knows little about conditions inside the country. For an organization that has spent more than eight years dealing with Afghan refugees, one aid representative pointed out, it only recently commissioned its own report on the inside situation. ``It's as if the UNHCR has just discovered Afghanistan,'' he said.
Donor countries and international aid organizations, the sources add, must also agree on whether they are prepared to carry out a long-term development program for Afghanistan right from the start rather than the conventional emergency relief operation proposed by some UN officials.
Some voluntary agencies and governments are now seeking the appointment of an ``aid czar,'' to oversee and coordinate all task force operations. A precedent for this exists with that of Sir Robert Jackson, the high-level troubleshooter who successfully ran the Bangladesh task force in the early 1970s, when 10 million refugees were repatriated.
Several such personalities, ranging from the UN's Saddrudin Agha Khan to French Human Rights Minister Claude Malhuret and a former Swedish defense minister, are now being considered for the job. ``This is what the task force really needs,'' a UN official said. ``Afghanistan's reconstruction could take years, so it's important to get off on the right footing.

The battle to keep windfarms out of a tract of Westmeath free of windfarms is set to receive a significant boost today.
Minister Simon Coveney is to announce he is dropping his objection to a Westmeath County Council decision designating Area 7 as being "low capacity", Deputy Peter Burke has stated.
Deputy Peter Burke said that the Minister confirmed to him this morning that he is no longer objecting to the Area 7 provision in a variation to the County Development Plan passed by the members of Westmeath County Council.
Area 7 takes in what are termed the "western lowlands" of Westmeath, and includes, Moate, Ballymore, Movore, Moyvoughley, Drumraney, Mount Temple and Fardrum.
"This will ensure the area of the vicinity of Westmeath's most prominent heritage sites – Uisneach – will be protected," said Deputy Burke.
He added that the area runs close to where the Center Parcs development is to be built, at Forgney, near Ballymahon.
The minister is understood, however, to be standing firm on the other elements of the variation, relating to night-time noise levels and the designation of equine farms as noise sensitive receptors.
However, his decision to allow the change in the wind capacity map goes against the recommendation of an inspector appointed by him to examine the issue.
Explaining that the Minister is now prepared to allow Area 7 of t he Wwestmeath County Development Plan be reduced to low capacity, Deputy Burke saidi that he was satisfied that the Minister had taken into account the "strong feelings" of the elected representatives and the people of Westmeath.
Deputy Burke said he had been in repeated contact with Minister Coveney over the issue and he was relieved at the decision.
"I am happy to finally receive clarity that this protection will remain in the Westmeath County Development Plan 2014-2020," he said.
"Anyone who has visited the Hill of Uisneach and its surrounds cannot but be impressed by its beauty and the construction of wind farms in this area would completely spoil the natural beauty of the site. David Clarke and his team are doing fantastic work at the Hill and they need to be supported.
Deputy Burke said that Westmeath must now work to support projects that will attract tourism to the county.


The actual first thing that went into production at SoaraPerformance was the 2JZ-GTE intake manifold back in 1998, so it's kind of our heritage product. Since than its design has undergone extensive improvements while we ran our own AE85 2JZ-engined project as well as fabricating probably hundreds of these for our clients. We know it through and through. The latest version is made out of excellent 4mm-thick aluminum, and can live up to anything 2JZ-engined, from N/A versions up to 1500hp. Long runner version is also available.


Definitely on the top of the list for most clients!
At Michael George Events, we work to follow three main guidelines in our approach to food.
Our prime objective in our food is balance of flavors. Michael strives to have all four of the sensory tastes in his food; sweet, sour, salt and bitter coming into balance and just hitting that perfect note to form Umami, the fifth taste.
It's very subtle and MGE believes that if you do it right, you don't even realize the elements; you just think the food is great.
Secondly, but just as important, Michael wants everyone to feel good after eating his food. We do this by focusing on the first objective rather than adding butter and melted cheese to make something taste good. Not that there is anything wrong with a little butter and cheese, everything in moderation, but these are shortcuts to flavor that MGE does not take.
Our final objective is to make everything look and smell great. Our photographs speak for themselves, but a dish's smell is just as important as its looks, and this aspect of presentation often gets overlooked by other caterers.
You'll find herbs added to many of our items, sometimes where you wouldn't expect them; coffee beans lining our dessert platters; and lavender in our chocolate sauce, all for your olfactory stimulation.
WE CAN ALSO CUSTOM ORDER A MIXTURE OF ALMOST ANY OF THE ABOVE.
Our food story is to give you great tasting customized food that looks and smells wonderful and makes you feel great after you're finished!


It's frustrating when your HVAC system isn't working properly, especially during those times of years when it's very hot or cold and you rely on your system to keep you comfortable in your home. Eventually, you will find yourself in need of a repair or a replacement. It is important that you know a bit about the situation in advance. Read on to learn about that.
If your HVAC is running into problems, check out each room in your house before calling for assistance. Note which rooms are hot and which are cold. This will help your contractor quickly determine where the issue lies and how to get it fixed quickly and easily.
If the outside of your home has condenser units, ensure they are constantly cleaned. After a wind or rain storm things may pile up, causing problems with your HVAC system. This can lead to overheating.
TIP! What system do you have? You need this information to tell your contractor. Know what the manufacturer's name is, which particular model you have and what's gone on with the unit in the past.
Clean the fan blades and coils in your condenser each spring. Before you begin cleaning the unit, make sure that it is unplugged. Pull out each of the blades and clean them one by one.
As the leaves are falling off the trees, your HVAC system can really take a hit. When you see nearby trees shedding their leaves, clean the fan grill on your unit constantly. The fan must stay clear in order to function, and if it gets blocked, you will have to contend with problems.
TIP! Inspect the temps in your home before you call a service to help you with any HVAC issues you're having. Notice the temperature in each room.
If you want things to be more efficient, get new units outside or have your current one moved into the shade. This will ensure cool air is sucked in, meaning less cooling must be done by the unit.
Be sure you have the HVAC unit in your home checked about two times every year. It's best to have it checked before you turn it on for the summer and again for the winter. You should have it looked at even if no problems are occurring; there could still be a problem or potential problem.
TIP! Think about what improvements you want made before picking an HVAC contractor. It is going to be hard to get a price estimate on the phone if the current system isn't something they've seen.
Turn off your outdoor condenser when it's getting cold. When the temperature drops beneath 60 degrees, it's time to cut off the unit to prevent damage. This will help keep your HVAC system in good health for years, which means you will save on repair bills.
Find an air conditioner calculator online to determine what models are best for you. A unit that is bigger than you need simply isn't efficient. Check your manual to figure out what the rating is from the manufacturer to be sure you're getting the right information.
TIP! Your outside condenser fan can be helped to run better by you cleaning the fan blades and coils prior to summer starting up. Shut off power before working or cleaning your system.
Check any company you are considering to see how long it has been around. Established companies that are doing well will usually be the best ones to go with. Otherwise, you are taking a huge risk with the person you hire.
Ask your friends and relations for their HVAC contractor recommendations. If they know a good contractor, they will surely guide you right. It's also important to do this to learn which companies should not be contracted for work.
All contractors charge differently for their services, so get at least four or five quotes before hiring a particular person. You can save a lot of cash simply by doing your homework. To figure out what a good rate is, speak with about five or six contractors.
TIP! Clean your condenser's fan blades and coil in the spring. Don't forget to disconnect the power first.
Are you looking at purchasing a HVAC system? Many things must be taken into account before you purchase one. Each system has a rating and that rating tells the area that can be effectively temperature controlled. It is best to get a bigger unit than you need, instead of a smaller one.
If you HVAC unit is making a clicking sound, check immediately for any debris that may have accumulated in it. The issue may be debris hitting the fans of the cooling system. Cleaning the debris will likely stop the noise. Look at the system before you call for help.
Be sure to replace your HVAC air filters every month. It's easy and has a huge impact on performance. Also, this will not cost a lot of money.
TIP! Make sure that you do not cover your outdoor components with grass clippings when you are trimming the grass. Instead, make sure that the grass is shooting in the opposite direction.
Ensure that you have a written contract of the work to be completed. Some contractors overcharge for add-ons like travel expense or fees for additional materials. Having a solid written contract will help you avoid any issues like this.
TIP! As the leaves are falling off the trees, your HVAC system can really take a hit. Clean outdoor units often to remove leaves.
When you think you want to get HVAC help it may be hard to think about because there are so many options out there. But, it does not need to be terribly difficult. You should now feel ready to tackle HVAC issues with these tips.

Nokia 3310 review
This ain't no smartphone - the battery life champ is as dumb as it gets
Converted from €49
26 May 2017 / 3:13MYT
Tamagotchis. Cassette walkmans. The penny farthing bicycle. They all had their time, but now they've all been resigned to history.
Until February, you'd have put Nokia's iconic 3310 among them. But not any more - it's back, rebooted and ready to cash in on our demand for nostalgia. Hey, anything to distract us from Brexit, Trump and whatever else 2017 is going to throw our way, right?
If you've been dying to type out messages in T9 text speak, the 3310 fits the bill, and it's got battery life that'll shame the smartphone sat in your pocket right now, but is that enough?
Time to take off those rose-tinted glasses, and see this phone for what it is: a nostalgia-laced marketing ploy that you really shouldn't waste your cash on.
NOKIA 3310 DESIGN & BUILD: PLASTIC FANTASTIC
With its curvy plastic shell, the new 3310 shows an unmistakable likeness of the original - only this 2017 edition is thinner and lighter. All that plastic means it won't shatter into a million pieces if you drop it, too - not something you can say about a modern smartphone.
You get a few more buttons beneath the screen this time around, but the two-tone colour scheme is straight out of old-school Nokia's design handbook. The whole thing feels unmistakably cheap, though - even if the looks might earn you a few retro points when you bust it out on a hipster burger joint.
You can't replace those front and back shells like you could before, either - the colour you pick will stick with you for the life of the phone.
Look around the edges and you'll spot a few modern touches, such as the 3.5mm audio socket and microUSB port for charging. There are no proprietary connectors this time around.
Prise off the back cover and you'll spot a microSD card slot nestled next to the microSIM slot, for taking your tunes with you on the move. It's practically a necessity, as the phone has a frankly pathetic 16MB of storage - and only 4MB of that is actually available to use.
There's a removable battery, too, because why not go the whole hog on retro features?
You've really got to force that rear cover off, which could be a pain if you're planning on regularly swapping your SIM card back and forth between this and your main phone.
NOKIA 3310 SCREEN & SOUND: DON'T GET YOUR HOPES UP
In case you hadn't sensed a pattern here already, the 3310's screen is as basic as it gets. I really hope you weren't holding out for AMOLED or a 4K resolution.
At 2.4in, it looks absolutely tiny next to a current-gen smartphone, and the WVGA, 240x320 resolution is blocky and pixelated. Brightness is mediocre, and when you take it outside you'll struggle to see anything on it at all.
It isn't touch sensitive, of course - you've got to use the physical buttons to get around the OS. With no onscreen keyboard, I hope u rmbr how 2 write in txtspk.
The colour screen makes sense, seeing how Nokia has added a camera, but a part of me wishes this new 3310 had a grayscale display just like the original. If you're going to reboot a 16-year old phone, you might as well do it properly.
The built-in speaker is a whole lot better than the bleeps and bloops you could create on the original 3310, but it's not really going to do justice to your MP3 files. Everything sounds tinny and shrill, as you'd expect for such a bargain basement phone.
NOKIA 3310 CAMERA: BACK TO BASICS
Few feature phones find room in the budget for a camera. Most ditch it to keep the price as low as possible, but Nokia has managed to squeeze one into the 3310.
Honestly, though? I'm not sure it was worth the effort.
Things don't look all that bad at first glance, but zoom in and you'd swear the phone was secretly applying watercolour effects to your snaps - there's nothing but blur and warping. The 2MP snapper struggles to capture detail even when you're outside in perfect light, so as soon as the sun starts setting you know you're in trouble.
Move indoors and it's a similar story - only you don't have to zoom in to spot the lack of detail. The LED flash doesn't help fill in the gaps in low-light, either. Colours are muted, and anything in shadow is basically lost to the darkness.
Picture quality really isn't very good at all, and video is even worse - but then what did you expect from a £50 phone?
It might come in handy when you're in a pinch, and having something is better than nothing, but the flash is genuinely more useful as a torch than for illuminating low-light pics.
Rose-tinted nostalgia can't disguise the 3310 for what it really is - a basic burner phone that's good for nothing but battery life.
Nothing beats a bit of retro nostalgia
Battery life for weeks, not days
Just a cheapo feature phone underneath all the branding
Camera is seriously basic
2G network limits aren't great for frequent flyers
More expensive than otherwise identical burner phones


It isn't hard to wax poetic over the countless benefits of an in-salon Keratin Treatment — if you're constantly colouring or heat-styling, or you have curl hair that tends to frizz, these treatments can mend the damaged areas in your hair shaft, your shine level is significantly increased, and any frizz you once struggled with can be considered a non-issue for at least the next three months.
We put our hair through a lot....from straightening to colouring, even brushing can cause damage to your hair. Over time, this all can cause your hair to look frizzy and unhealthy.
Your hair is made up of keratin. This is a protein that is found in hair, skin, and nails, but your hair mainly contains keratin-associated proteins. The keratin in your hair helps protect and strengthen your hair. On the outer layers of your hair strands, also know as the cuticle, keratin acts as a protection. On the inner core of your hair strands, aka the cortex, the keratin acts as an internal structure.
When you colour, straighten, brush, or do anything else to your hair that causes damage, the keratin is diminished. Keratin Complex treatments can help restore your hair, working to add strength and elasticity to your hair, creating a healthy look.
Keratin treatments work for many different hair textures and types. If your hair is frizzy, lacks shine, has been through a ton of straightening and blow dry sessions, or has tight curls you want to loosen, this treatment could help your hair. While there are many people with many hair types that are good candidates for this treatment, some may want to avoid it.
Keratin Is No Longer Just for Straightening...keep the curl but lose the frizz!
For clients looking to enhance and define natural curl and increase manageability New Personalised Curl Therapy features K-Pure Juice, a blend of keratin, botanicals and amino acids. Botanicals condition and moisturise the hair; keratin smooths and strengthens the hair; and amino acids shape and align the hair. K-Pure Juice includes yummy natural ingredients like aloe leaf juice, coconut oil, acai fruit oil, chamomile extract, shea butter and more that were laid out on a table in the salon and looked good enough to eat (although 0/10 would recommend doing so).

When technology turns into a nightmare
I always thought technology was our slave, since it is meant to make life easier. But is that really so?
By ZDNet Staff for Inside India | July 31, 2008 -- 16:54 GMT (09:54 PDT) | Topic: Networking
I always thought technology was our slave, since it is meant to make life easier. But is that really so? Most modern-day technologies continue to be a vast grey area most of us struggle to understand and adapt. Let me explain this with a nightmare I had last night.
Yesterday was one of those days when I had to travel a lot within Delhi. I got back home late in the evening and checked my e-mail before going off to sleep. Since I was very tired, I placed my laptop on the bedside table and forgot all about switching off the modem and the wireless router.
And all night, I dreamt of the Indian Mujahideen. A team of these terrorists (in my dream, of course) were out in a car, looking for wireless networks they could hack into. And in my dream (I will repeat that phrase, so that you don't think otherwise), they stopped right outside my doorstep, to send some terror e-mail messages.
For those who may not be familiar with the Indian Mujahideen--this is (supposedly) a terrorist outfit that claimed responsibility for the blasts last week in two cities of India--Bangalore and Ahmedabad.
Let me take you back to my dream...well, those terrorists kept trying to break into my IP address. But thankfully, it was (and is) secure (when one is covering IT for a news site like this one, this is the least you could expect). In the meantime, I was busy building my case (well yes, in my dream)--and going through what I must tell the police if they trace the terror e-mail back to me; how will I prove my innocence blah, blah. I even had the urge to get up and switch off the modem and foil their evil plans, but didn't. Perhaps, I was too sleepy and tired (even in my dream).
I woke up only to realize how this nightmare is a modern-day reality. People often don't bother securing their wireless Internet networks. Some of us are also very careless when it comes to passwords and other security details. Many of us are completely unaware of ways to mitigate risks of fraud, even though we may be getting smarter at dealing with menaces like spam and phishing. What's worse, fraudsters possess all kinds of software that can break into even the most secure Web sites and networks.
Innocent users of technology have no idea what they may be getting into--whether it is the security risks or the health risks that come with gadgets like mobile phones, laptops and Wi-Fi networks. Last night's nightmare also revealed another threat--technology's impact on our minds.
While our generation is drawing tremendous benefits from technology, it is still rather alien to us. We don't understand it. These crazy nightmares remind us that we live the danger of becoming a slave of technology (and not visa-versa). That is, if it hasn't enslaved us already.

Message from CEO Kim Day - We're Ready When You're Ready
Dear DEN Community:
The past few months at Denver International Airport (DEN) have been like nothing we've ever seen before. Over the course of a few very short weeks, we saw air traffic decrease by over 90%, and while DEN remained open for essential travel needs, there were no international arrivals or departures in April or May. I want to personally thank our employees, particularly our essential employees, as well as our partners and the thousands of teammates who have continued to ensure that those who fly are safe and well served.
DEN began this year celebrating our 25th birthday and looking forward to a year of more record-setting passenger traffic and an ever-improving passenger experience. Now, though we'll serve fewer passengers, we are no less committed to our passengers and ensuring they have the best experience possible while at DEN.
Throughout the pandemic, the health and safety of our passengers and employees has remained our top priority and will continue to be our focus as more people begin travelling again this summer.
We continue to work closely with our partners at state and local health departments and follow their guidance to prevent the spread of the virus at DEN. Following public health orders from the City and the State, face coverings or masks are now required to be worn by everyone at the airport. To encourage compliance, masks are available for purchase from shops throughout the airport and at vending machines in the terminal. We believe that wearing a mask in the airport is a clear sign that you respect and care about others and your community.
In addition to requiring face coverings, DEN has put in place a number of measures to prevent the spread of COVID-19, including installing over 100 hand sanitizer dispensers and placing disinfecting wipe dispensers in each gate area. Plexiglass barriers have been installed at TSA checkpoints, some concessions, several airline check-in desks and other locations in the airport. Throughout the airport you'll see signage reminding passengers to practice social distancing and to wear a mask and floor decals delineating six feet for proper social distancing.
DEN's airline partners are also focused on passenger and employee safety. Airlines have implemented robust cleaning procedures and most airlines now require passengers to wear a mask on board. Some are taking passengers' temperatures or requiring self-health reporting prior to boarding. Many airlines have made cuts to their schedules and have changed or suspended routes through the summer, but we are also seeing the return of some flights, including international service to Mexico and Canada.
When folks begin flying again, they'll notice some changes to our parking options – our shuttle lots, including Pikes Peak and Mt. Elbert, have closed for the time-being, as well as the East Economy Lot and valet parking in the East and West garages. However, there is still plenty of parking available in the garages and West Economy lot as well as off-airport parking locations.
Many of DEN's concessions have closed temporarily or reduced their hours while there have been fewer passengers in the airport. As more people begin flying again, we are seeing some concessions re-open and most will continue to offer more take-out options for passengers while ensuring social distancing for dine-in eating.
We know that some people (including me) are itching to travel again, whether for work or for pleasure, but others feel a sense of apprehension. Though we cannot know when our industry will rebound or when we'll all begin to feel "normal" again, we can assure you that we are doing everything necessary today to protect our passengers, our employees and our community. Just know that we're ready when you're ready!
We hope to see you again soon,
Kim Day

Help Girls like Najiwa Go to School
Help Serve 200 People
Project Funded!
"I want to study hard and become a doctor." - Najiwa
Mayuge region, Uganda
GPS: 0.412, 33.548
Mayuge, Uganda
Your gift will provide clean water and improved health to families in the entire region of Mayuge, Uganda.
Life in Mayuge, Uganda
In the region of Mayuge, Uganda, children miss an average of two days for every 10 days of school. They miss school for various reasons, but largely because of the water problem in their communities.
Twelve-year-old Najiwa lives in Mayuge with her mom, Zaituna, and dad, Burutani. She has 12 siblings.
"I want to study hard and become a doctor so that I can save my family and others in my village time and money," Najiwa said. "But… I am worried that my parents may not be able to raise the money."
Najiwa lives in Abimanyi, a village in Mayuge. Every day, her mother makes six trips to a nearby pond to get water. The pond is extremely contaminated and makes the family sick.
Najiwa and her siblings contract waterborne illness from drinking the pond water, and much of the family's income goes towards medication.
"We wish to increase our income as a family but the water situation has harmed us," Zaituna said.
Zaituna would like to grow a larger variety of food to sell, like onions and tomatoes, and her husband would like to make bricks to pay for the children's education.
"I tried brickmaking… but I realized that getting water for this project was extremely difficult," Burutani said. "The money I could make would improve my family's well being significantly, especially when it comes to the children's school needs."
Najiwa hopes that she will be able to finish primary school, that she will be healthy and free from waterborne illness, and that she will go on to become a doctor for her community.
When you give, you bring safe water to children like Najiwa in the Mayuge region of Uganda. You send health experts to help families adopt critical health practices like hand washing, and you give hope and opportunity to those in need.
Mayuge, Uganda is home to an estimated 565,100 people.
Lifewater began serving in the region in 2016 to reach communities with the greatest need for safe water and improved sanitation and hygiene access.
In Mayuge, many families live in traditional mud-thatched homes roofed with dried brush or homes constructed with handmade bricks and corrugated metal roofs. A majority of families rely on agriculture for their annual income, and 36% of the population that Lifewater is currently serving has never gone to school.
Concerningly, 11 percent of children under five years old had diarrhea during the seven days prior to the most recent 2019 survey. Diarrhea is a global leading cause of death in children under the age of five years old, and it's primarily caused by unsafe water and poor sanitation.
Gathering water takes over two hours per trip, with many families relying on faraway wells, swamps, or ponds.
The good news is, this is entirely preventable. Lifewater's work shows that waterborne illness can be nearly eliminated with basic access to things like clean drinking water, proper sanitation, and washing hands with soap.
Children in Mayuge need your help. Give safe water to Mayuge today.
Am I sponsoring a specific village?
Your gift will help provide safe drinking water and improved sanitation and hygiene for the entire Mayuge program rather than one specific village, making it possible for Lifewater to reach this family as well as their neighbors.
Will I receive updates?
Yes! You can expect regular updates on progress in the Mayuge region. And, when the communities in the region are transformed with safe water, you'll receive a story and photos from a family whose life is changed because of your gift.
Project Funded
This water project is funded,
but many others still need your help.

Police, FBI Trying To Verify Teen Is Boy Missing Since 2011
Apr 4, 2019, 9:53 AM | Updated: Jun 8, 2022, 5:12 pm

BY DAN SEWELL, ASSOCIATED PRESS
CINCINNATI (AP) — Authorities were trying Thursday to confirm the identity of a teenager who told police he fled from kidnappers and is an Illinois boy missing since 2011.
A 14-year-old boy told police in Newport, Kentucky, on Wednesday that he escaped two kidnappers in the Cincinnati area and ran across a bridge. He said his name was Timmothy Pitzen.
In 2011, then-6-year-old Timmothy Pitzen's mother picked him up at school in Illinois, took him to the zoo and a water park, and later killed herself at a hotel. She left a note saying her son was fine but that no one would ever find him.
Timmothy Pitzen's aunt said police are using DNA testing and that results could be known Thursday.
Police in Aurora, Illinois, sent two detectives 330 miles to the Cincinnati area, where the FBI and local police are investigating. The boy was taken to a Cincinnati hospital, but no information on his condition was released immediately.
There have been several false sightings of Timmothy Pitzen since 2011.
"We hope it's true," his aunt, Kara Jacobs, told CBS2 TV in Chicago. "What's hard is the story that he escaped from captors, and your mind goes in too many directions that you don't want to think about."
She said she had prayed over the years that he was with people "who would love him," and it would heartbreaking if that hasn't been the case.
The body of Amy Fry-Pitzen, 43, was found May 15, 2011. Police believe she killed herself at a hotel in Rockford, Illinois. A note she left said Timmothy was fine, but that no would ever find him. Police said she took steps that suggest she might have dropped her son off with a friend.
At the time, police searched for Timmothy in Illinois, Wisconsin and Iowa.
Police in the Cincinnati suburb of Sharonville wrote in a short incident report that the boy said Wednesday morning that he had "just escaped from two kidnappers" he described as white men with body builder-type physiques. They were in a Ford SUV with Wisconsin license plates and had been staying at a Red Roof Inn.
Sharonville police said on the department's Facebook page that the information about the boy's reported escape was received by police in Campbell County, Kentucky. The boy was found just across the Ohio River from Cincinnati.

Hobie Forums • View topic - Your dream Ai, what would you change?
Your dream Ai, what would you change?
Post subject: Re: Your dream Ai, what would you change?
Revise the pockets, yes. Change the netting too.
An 8" square hatch increases the opening size over the 8" round. Probably would seal as well. You'll also need a higher deck to fit much larger objects inside the hull.
Speaking of which, being able to fit ANY Hobie accessory, including the MIRAGE DRIVE inside the front hatch is a basic requirement not currently being met.
Bingo! The one design change that I would like to see on all Mirage Drive kayaks, is either a hatch that fits the mirage drive, or a molding on the hull or some attachment that will hold the drive securely in place, but out of the water, and not take up the entire rear deck storage area. A Mirage Drive leash is great for keeping it from falling overboard, but it's not a solid or secure solution to holding the drive.
So, in the hatch, or securely attached on the boat somewhere would be great!
Ah yes, I can JUST fit one mirrage drive in the front hatch of the TI as it is a little deeper in the hull space than the AI. But it is just not quite big enough to fit the second one in on top.
I have cut the lip out of the base of the hatch all the way round except for enough to suppport thre twist lock. The Hobie gear buckets will not sit in any more. This gives me plenty of extra clearance to fit my fishing tackle boxes and safety gear into the hatch.
I would wish for a Hobie AI with a flying keel... check this out Hobie !
Great - and put one of these in it for me.
fishman-rd--21 min--very interesting. Thanks for posting it. I watched it as I was having dinner.
There was one thing the creative inventor said that caught my attention and was applicable to an AI. He said something like this referring to the hull: "sometimes it goes over the waves and sometimes under the waves. Therefore, we had to design it to shed water very quickly." That is something Hobie might give some thought.
Yeah, yeah, I know I'm a one man band forever playing the same song, but since I got my quarterdeck, I just lay my Mirage drive in the drivewell when I pull it. It gets in the way if you are sitting in the seatwell, but if I'm not pedalling, I have no reason to sit down there getting a wet bum anyway. With my weight aft, I don't have a problem with the bow submerging either.
I liked what he had to say too. But we'll have to see if Vlad's design "completely changes" sailing in 10 years. This is NOT a boat for the masses, though.
Funny thing is, a couple months ago, I was sailing by, and actually standing on the dock next to his shipbuilder in Thomaston, Maine. Naturally, I was googling boats,..
I followed this classic old wood beauty into harbor in stiff 15+ knot winds, and then watched the skipper dock it single handed under full sail. Jib up too. Landed right at the boatbuilders pier. Humbling to watch.
It was the week they first launched the Speeddream, but I did not see Vlad's experimental carbon fiber boat there. Did see lots of nice boats for sale - and a potential upgrade from my AI.
Waddaya think? Those Amas are over 5 feet high.
Not worried that this one will sink, but if I flip it, there's an escape hatch on the bottom of the hull.
I'll be back up there this summer and will keep an eye out for the "worlds fastest monohull". Maybe get us a spy shot. Maybe a test flight!
Funny you mention that guy docking under sail. I had a somewhat different experience in my Ron Holland quarter tonner racing yacht. Being full of bravado, I sailed right into the yacht club lagoon, no doubt showing off to the club members on the verandah, when, right in front of us, an Etchells 22 was pushed out from the dock!
Did I tell you we were flying a masthead spinnaker at the time, pulling 6+ knots?
With zero time to spare, I let the spinnaker halyard go and one of the crew jumped up and dragged the kite down instantly. I let the mainsheet go too, and spun the yacht through 90 degrees (luckily its 5 foot fin keel was good for this, and believe it or not, I HAD practised crash stops!). The thing literally stopped in its tracks, and we (superficially) calmly continued packing up the sails and readying dock lines, like we always docked like this. Luckily I was young enough at the time that my heart didn't actually jump out of my chest.
They don't have "no wake" zones down there?
So, did all the boats give way to you after that little show?
Weren't invented in the 70s Actually, that yacht hardly made any wash.
I would like Hobie to supply buckles for holding up the seatbacks that don't slip.
I hope you have a stout cord afixed to an appropriate anchor point and tied to your Mirage drive when you just lay it in your cockpit...that Irish bloke Murphy is always ever present! A new Mirage Drive complete is around $650 here in Oz if your current one joins the fish!

Yeah, I always tether it to the front crossbar with a surfboard leash.
Well Tony, the above statement adds support to the saying ...If it works...whistle a happy tune to keep your mouth shut!

Did You Know? Deepika Padukone Was Once Asked To Get A Boob Job!
Deepika Padukone graced the cover of the international glossy Evening Standard, and while speaking to them, she opened up about how she was once asked to get a boob job to have a better chance of being noticed by Bollywood filmmakers. Here's what she said...

Deepika Padukone has slowly but steadily making headways in the West. She has been featured on the covers of many popular glossies from Hollywood, and the latest one is of Evening Standard.
Speaking to the magazine, Deepika spoke about the #MeToo movement which has engulfed Hollywood, and is slowly entering Bollywood as well.
Deepika said, "We're in the same position as the rest of the world, I think we're all in this together. There's so much more awareness. There are so many people who speak up and I think in the same way that we see the wheels moving in the right direction globally, I see the same thing happening in India as well."
Talking of her own experience, Deepika opens up about having had her fair share of sexism as well in Bollywood. "There were lots of things I was advised [to do]. To get a boob job, do the beauty pageants. They felt it was the right way to be recognised or picked up by a Bollywood director or producer. It might be an easier way to achieve what you want to achieve. But I haven't been that person; I've always followed my gut," said Deepika.
Deepika, not many actresses have the guts to come out in the open and speak so candidly about their lives.

U.S. Soccer Application Window for A-Senior & B Coaching Courses Opens Sept. 16
CHICAGO (Sept. 13, 2021) – U.S. Soccer has announced the next application window for A-Senior and B License coaching education courses will open on Sept. 16 at 12:00 p.m. and run through Oct. 3. Course start dates, in-person meeting dates and locations will be made available on Sept. 16.
While coaching courses and in-person education continue, additional information will be provided regarding in-person safety protocols and requirements. As always, U.S. Soccer's top priority is the health and safety of its players, coaches and staff. The Federation is committed to following the health practices outlined by the Centers for Disease Control and the U.S. Soccer Return to Play protocols.
As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, there is a new reality in how U.S. Soccer approaches education. While the Federation has made shifts to integrate online and blended learning opportunities over the past few years, current circumstances have offered an opportunity to reimagine how coaching education could operate in the future.
In-person interaction, an important standard of education, will now be supported with greater remote interaction during the development periods between in-person meetings. An increase in virtual education allows for greater retention of course material, additional time to incorporate and test concepts in candidates' own environments, more intentional field work during in-person meetings and fewer in-person days required.
"While we know that in-person education is vital for the development process, we are pleased with how the courses have progressed over the past months and know that we can integrate some best practices as we move ahead," said Didier Chambaron, Director of Coaching Education. "Education will be different in the future, and we believe that's for the better. As education evolves, we need to continue to evolve."
The A-Senior course will have three in-person meetings over a 10-month period, while B courses will be held over a six-month period with two in-person meetings. In-person meetings will be reduced to three nights and class sizes will also be smaller than prior years in accordance with safety recommendations.
In addition to in-person meetings, virtual interaction and learning will take place on a weekly basis. Students will take part in large group, small group and individual webinars.
"We believe these modifications provide our students greater flexibility in the near-term with our primary focus on the safety and well-being of our educators, students and staff," said Chambaron. "We're reducing the class size and the number of nights away from families, clubs and players while incorporating virtual learning for a better course experience and ultimately better learning."
Female coaches accepted to the A-Senior and B License courses can have 50 percent of tuition covered by the Jill Ellis Scholarship Fund, established to boost the number of elite female coaches in the United States. Candidates will also have the opportunity to participate in the SheChampions Coaching Mentorship Program , currently in the midst of its first year providing aspiring coaches with experienced mentors to guide them on their educational journey.
The application window will run from Sept. 16 to Oct. 3. Interested applicants should review the course details and pre-application checklist in the bullet points below. All applications must be submitted through the U.S. Soccer Learning Center.
Coaching Experience Verification Template
A-Senior Course

TVXQ Yunho and Jaejoong should really reach out to each other, they have a powerful love. KEEP THE FAITH JAEJOONG AND YUNHO.
Jaejoong and Yunho are 2 hearts that love and miss each other deeply. Two hearts are always better. Keep The Faith that TVXQ 5 members will be back together soon. Jaejoong, Yunho, Yoochun, Changmin and Junsu.
TVXQ's Hearthrob Yunho turns 26 (the real age) on February 6, 2012; however, in Korea they count an extra year which is 27.
Yunho was born Jung Yunho in South Korea and he has a younger sister Jung Ji Hye. Although, his stage name is U-Know but he's simply known as Yunho.
Unfortunately, this is going on the third year that Yunho and Jaejoong have not been in contact with each other. This cannot be a very happy birthday for either of them. Their hearts must be breaking for each other. So sad, there wasn't a public birthday wish from Yunho to Jaejoong. However,there was a birthday wish from Jaejoong to Yunho last year but later deleted.
It really doesn't make any sense why these two are not together. Year 2012 must be the year for them to reunite.
Jaejoong celebrated his birthday on January 26, 2012 on which he received lots of love from his fans around the world just as Yunho did.
JYJ, finally have a Facebook page for their millions of fans.
5 Star Hollywood Hunk Of The Year 2011, singer, songwriter, model, and actor Jaejoong tweeted on Thursday January 5, 2012 that "JYJ Facebook is born".
S.M. Entertainment created TVXQ's (Yunho and Changmin) a Facebook page, it was only a matter of time for JYJ to have one as well. Next should be an official YouTube Channel just like TVXQ (Yunho and Changmin). What's next for Yunho and Changmin should be Twitter accounts. Then Yunho and Jaejoong could re-unite.
Social networks are one of the main reasons why JYJ have increased popularity, all three members Jaejoong, Yoochun, and Junsu have Twitter accounts and communicate with their fans.
JYJ's company C-Jes have created one the biggest social networks, this is only going to increase their popularity even more so and they deserve to gain more fans. They are so talented. In a short time, JYJ have over 30,000 Facebook likes.
What makes JYJ's Facebook so cool is that the Korean language is translated in the English language. They'll definetly will gain more fans who are fluent or understand the English language.
Here's the first post:안녕하세요. JYJ의 공식 Facebook이 오픈하였습니다. 월드와이드 스타 JYJ의 활동소식은 물론, 비하인드 스토리까지! 공식홈페이지에서 만나보지 못한 신선한 컨텐츠들을 만날 수 있는 공간! JYJ의 Official Facebook 많이 찾아 주세요! ^^ Hello, JYJ Official Facebook page is now open! This page will provide JYJ's news and their behind stories that you haven't seen on official website. You are always more than welcome to visit this page. Thank you!
C-Jes didn't waste anytime by providing information on JYJ's South American tour dates: JYJ의 남미투어소식!! 다들 들으셨나요? 2011-12 JYJ World Tour의 마지막을 장식하기 위해 올 3월 칠레와 페루에서 공연을 가질 예정입니다. 북미투어, 유럽투어 때 보여주신 남미팬들의 열정에 보답하는 기회인 것 같아 JYJ 본인들도 무척 설레인다고 하네요. '좋아요' 클릭으로 응원해주세요! Good News!! JYJ will be performing in South America! The concerts in Chile and Peru will be the last concerts for 2011-12 JYJ World Tour. JYJ said that it would be a great opportunity to repay for the passion which South America fans showed before. sooo thumbs up if you like this news? South America Tour Information below *March 9, TEATRO CAUPOLICAN, Santiago, Chile *March 11, ExPlanada Sur(Explanada Sur del Estadio Monumental), Lima, Peru.
JYJ are working on their next album for 2012. JYJ fisrt full album was all in English "The Beginning" and their second full album was in Korean / English "In Heaven".
According to numerous of media reports, Jaejoong (JYJ) will be on KBS radio program "Choi Kang Hee's Night Flight" on December 25, 2011.
Fans may receive a great Christmas gift by seeing and hearing from the 5 Star Hollywood Hunk Of The Year 2011 Nominee.
When JYJ presented a lawsuit against S.M.Entertainment in 2009, Jaejoong, Yoochun, and Junsu formed their side group "JYJ" in order to continue to do music. However, as a result of the lawsuit, JYJ was unable to perform or be seen doing music for any network in Asia. KBS is by far the most popular network around the world. This news with Jaejoong appearing on the KBS radio show will be a major breakthrough for JYJ.
In 2012, fans should be able to see JYJ perform on national television and not be canceled since the Korean Fair Trade Commission found S. M. Entertainment guilty of blocking JYJ's public appearances on TV and radio which S.M. may be fined 5 figures, pretty close to $90,000 U.S. dollars. According to All K Pop via Reporter Lee Sang Ho, S.M. Enteratinment may face $500,000 to $800,000 fine that will add up for a year.
However, this amount would not be enough. S.M. Entertainment has put JYJ through mental stress. It's ridiculous that JYJ could not perform on TV and radio for 2 years.
S.M. Entertainment is not being penalized enough, if they could influence major networks not to have JYJ on any program to do music for their fans then they are "guilty" of interfering with Jaejoong and Yunho reuniting. It doesn't make any sense why these two are apart and have not spoken nor seen each other in 2 years. S.M. Entertainment should be fined for keeping Changmin, Yoochun, Junsu; especially Jaejoong and Yunho from communicating.
S.M. Entertainment is being unfair and unprofessional. Finally, JYJ has won some justice but they still need to be compensated, they've lost not only money but lost precious time away from Yunho and Changmin. S. M. stop interfering and let them reunite.
Note: Take a look at the latest photo of Jaejoong above, he really has been working out!

Yunho and Changmin performed at the first ever Billboard KPop Masters Concert in Las Vegas, Nevada at the MGM Grand Garden Arena on Friday November 25, 2011.
Besides Yunho and Changmin giving a great performance, they spoke English to the KPop fans in Vegas.
There are several links to the videos of their performance and with the duo speaking English. So click on and Enjoy!
Yunho and Changmin of TVXQ are in Las Vegas for the 2011 Billboard K-Pop Masters to perform along other music acts. They arrived in style, dressed like models.
JYJ's Jaejoong, Yoochun, Junsu should have been invited to this concert event. Why are they not invited? I know they are not allowed to perform on TV in Korea; however, Las Vegas is NOT Korea. JYJ should be allowed to share the stage alongside the other K-Pop artists.
The five guys should NOT be apart, all they have to do is find a record label to buy them out of their screwed up contract and reunite.
Billboard is having their first K-Pop Masters Concert in Las Vegas in November 25 and November 26, 2011 at the Grand Garden Arena.
The duo TVXQ (Yunho and Changmin) are the top billed names that will be performing including SISTAR, BEAST, 4MINUTE, BROWN EYED GIRLS, MBLAQ, and G.NA on November 25th and 26th, however, SHINee will perform on November 26.
Once again, JYJ isn't going to be at the Billboard's first ever K-Pop concert. JYJ was not at the New York Korea Festival this year. Another event where JYJ and TVXQ will not be together.
Korea Broadcasting Service (KBS) is hosting this free concert event, the New York Korea Festival is celebrating the 20th Anniversary of Korea for introducing Korean culture through music.
The list of K-Pop artists that will be performing is as follows: SHINee, 2PM, 4Minute, Sistar, Beast, and TVXQ (Yunho and Changmin). New York Korea Festival official website list TVXQ as Dong Bang Shin Ki which is the other name as well, however, the duo TVXQ doesn't use that name. Dong Bang Shin Ki was used when the group was five.
It doesn't seem that JYJ of TVXQ is going to be there. Their names have not been mentioned. Was JYJ invited and can't make it or they were not invited? It would have been great to see JYJ and the duo TVXQ reunite for those two days.
Finally, the legendary group The Village People will be performing as well.
The K-Pop concert will not be held in New York this year, instead, it will be held in New Jersey due to the trouble of getting permits in New York. However, it should be a big turnout.
The New York Korea Festival Two-Day Free Concert is hosted by Hwang Soo Kyung and Hyori Lee and it will be held Sunday October 9, 2011 and it starts at 6:00 PM at Overpeck County Park in New Jersey.

Engineered Materials Arresting System (EMAS)
Completed September 2017
At the Boca Raton Airport, the safety of our users and neighbors is of the utmost importance. By constructing an Engineered Materials Arresting System (EMAS) at both ends of the runway, we are able to greatly improve the effectiveness of our runway safety areas (RSA).
If an aircraft undershoots or overruns the runway, it will roll onto the EMAS arrestor bed, which utilizes lightweight, crushable cellular cement to decelerate its speed to a safe stop.
While the FAA's new standard RSA is 1,000 feet at each end of the runway, property constraints such as Spanish River Blvd and the Utility Services Complex make this length of an overrun unfeasible at the Boca Raton Airport.
In accordance with FAA guidelines, the Airport completed an Operational Needs Assessment and Runway Safety Area (RSA) study in 2012. Due to the property constraints, it was determined that the installation of EMAS is the only practicable alternative to enhancing the RSAs at the Airport.
Air Traffic Control Tower (ATCT) Repairs
Completed May 2016
The Air Traffic Control Tower (ATCT) at the Boca Raton Airport was built and opened in 2000. Since then, the ATCT has directed 1,344,284 operations including 1,096,197 take offs and landings.
After an assessment of the architectural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing and fire protection needs of the ATCT by Airport Management and Ricondo and Associates, it was determined that renovations were necessary.
The renovations included:
Installation of a new roof
Installation of new HVAC system
New plumbing and fixtures
Replacement of certain doors & hatches
Replacement of bathroom flooring
Airport Atlas and Obstruction Assessment Study
Completed July 2016
This project was performed to conduct an aerial photogrammetry survey of the Boca Raton Airport and the surrounding environment to develop comprehensive models of the airspace obstacle clearance surfaces (OCS) and air traffic control (ATC) tower line-of-sight. This obstruction study was performed to aid in the analysis of any future development and land use planning of the areas around the airport to preserve the safe and efficient use of the airspace. This survey provided details of all objects (buildings, structures, vegetation, etc.) and topography (terrain) of the surrounding areas around the airport. The aerial survey was used to produce an Atlas which can be used to access any airspace conflicts.

Boca Raton Airport Authority Administration Building
Completed November 2015
On October 30, 2015, the Boca Raton Airport Authority (BRAA) moved into its new 9,270 sq. ft. Administration Building, located at 903 NW 35th Street in Boca Raton. Previously, the BRAA leased both office and hangar spaces at separate locations. The new, permanent home consolidates both into one space, thereby enhancing cost-savings and increasing productivity.
The building has achieved LEED Silver Certification. LEED, or Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design, is a green building certification program of the U.S. Green Building Council that recognizes best-in-class building strategies and practices. To receive LEED certification, building projects satisfy prerequisites and earn points to achieve different levels of certification.
Runway 5 Departure End Engineered Materials Arresting System (EMAS)
In accordance with Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) guidelines, the Boca Raton Airport Authority (BRAA) completed an Operational Needs Assessment and Runway Safety Area (RSA) Study in 2012. The objective of the study was to assess alternatives to enhance the RSAs at both ends of the runway. RSAs are clear areas established to enhance safety in the event of an aircraft undershoot, overrun, or excursion from the side of the runway. The standard RSA extends from 240 feet to 1,000 feet beyond each runway end and is between 120 feet and 500 feet wide, depending on the type of instrument approach procedures and size and type of aircraft served by the runway.
An Engineered Materials Arresting System (EMAS) uses materials of closely controlled strength and density placed at the end of a runway to stop or greatly slow an aircraft that overruns the runway. The best material found to date is a lightweight, crushable concrete. When an aircraft rolls into an EMAS arrestor bed the tires of the aircraft sink into the lightweight concrete and the aircraft is decelerated by having to roll through the material. This safety measure saves lives, property and minimizes damage to aircraft, the Airport and areas beyond the Airport.
Runway and Taxiway Dropoff's
Completed February 2016
The Runway and Taxiway Drop-off project was performed to improve the safety areas along the aircraft parking aprons, taxiway papa, and the runway to bring them in compliance with the Federal Aviation Administrations (FAA) design criteria for drop offs and slope requirements. During this project the area between the jet blast deflector and the hold pad was paved to reduce erosion created by engine run-ups.

The BibleCode Sundays, "The Clash on Irish Steroids".
From West London, most of the band either Irish born or Irish blood, the passion and aggression of their Celtic roots is filtered through their London surroundings. Lead singer Ronan MacManus comes from a musical family tradition, his brother being Elvis Costello. Andy Nolan played with Shane MacGowan & The Popes and the rest of the lads have all spent time paying their dues on the London music circuit. The drummer for 12 years was Carlton Hunt who played with Bad Manners, sadly passed away in November 2017 and is replaced by good friend Joe Cotterill. They had just released their latest album Walk Like Kings, which includes guest appearances by Russell Crowe, Elvis Costello (in fact all 5 MacManus Brothers), Matt McManamon (Dead 60's), Lorraine O'Reilly & Elly O'Keeffe. The loss of Carlton has spurred on the band to reach new heights and fulfil a much lauded potential.
They have achieved so much already playing with bands such as Dropkick Murphys, John Lydon's Public Image Ltd, Saw Doctors, Thin Lizzy and of course Elvis Costello. Also playing big stages such as Glastonbury, Finsbury Park, Celtic Park, Twickenham Stadium, the Roundhouse, Royal Albert Hall, Glasgow Barrowlands, Indigo at The O2, Beacon Theatre NYC and The House of Blues in Boston.
Recent albums have seen them progressing away from their Irish Folk Roots and Walk Like Kings is fantastic representation of their natural mix of folk and modern music.
The Peppered Aces are a 3 piece Irish folk/rock band from London. Founded in 2015, the band are predominantly a gigging band and play in a variety of top music venues in London. The band have featured in festivals, international sporting events and have appeared on national radio a couple of times. An annual event for the band sees them travel to NYC to perform at the St. Patrick's festival. They are a developing band and have just commenced recording a selection of covers which prominently feature in the live set. Looking forward, The Peppered Aces plan on exploring their own original content and applying their unique sound and experience gained from playing together over the years.

Currently, medical urgent care is getting popular in the healthcare industry even though they are not for the people undergoing life threatening conditions. Every other health care is currently running an urgent care unit given the incredible benefits that they accord to the patients. Medical urgent care facilities have had a major effect on the healthcare industry given that they provide incredible benefits to patients something that has been proving to be a perfect alternative to emergency rooms and hospitals. Statmed can attest to this since they have seen how these urgent care units offer marvelous advantages to patients.
In case you are wondering about the benefits of the medical urgent care units then it will be advisable to consider going through this article.
you need to ask for prior permission.
Every person is tired with having to secure appointment before getting treatment in the other medical facilities. With urgent care centers there is no appointment and in most instance they work with the "walk-in" basis which means that you are not required to make an appointment with the doctor before you can receive medical assistance. The patients can just come in so long as the facility is open and get attended to by the doctor within a very short time.
The high charges at the hospitals and other medical facilities sometimes make patients to shy off from seeking medical attention. Urgent care centers are relatively cheap and the services are easily affordable. Given that they also offer one bill the patient will not require any additional billing from outside companies. If at all you do not have any active insurance then you should consider urgent care services to avoid losing money.
Urgent care center are known for the best treatment that give to the patients. When you visit an urgent care center, you will see by yourself the kind of quality that they offer to the patients compared to the primary care hospitals. If at all you have not tried the urgent care, you need to go to these facilities and you will be amazed by the marvelous quality of the services that they offer.
Most urgent care operate on a 24/7 basis and they are usually opened as early as 8 in the morning and in many a cases they also extend their service to the late night. Given that we are usually busy during the day to an extend of not according people time to visit the primary health facilities, patients find it more convenient to go to the urgent care than going to the other hospitals that are closed in so early and open very late in the morning.
