Using examples to explain how we calculate Height, altitude and Gradient on maps. This video reviews the skill necessary for revision in Geography and examination preparation.
Find "Missing" Elevations with GPS Visualizer The problem: Sometimes you have geographic data that consists only of latitudes and longitudes, but you want to know the altitudes as well — because, for example, you want to colorize points by height above sea level, or draw a profile of a track. Here are some common reasons why you might have "flat" or incomplete data: Your GPS device does not log altitude, or you had poor satellite reception when you recorded the track. Your GPS device does log altitude, but it's not very accurate. You drew a track using the drawing tools in Google Earth or a similar application, like GPS Visualizer's Sandbox. You have a KML file that came from Google Maps or Google Earth's "driving directions" feature. You created a route in Google Maps and have the URL of that route. You have an NMEA log file that contains only "GPRMC" sentences, not "GPGGA."
Do you find locating base maps and elevation data an elusive and daunting task? If you create maps and models, you have probably struggled with this from time-to-time. Acquiring data and grid files for use in your projects can be difficult since there are so many websites and servers to choose from! Where do you even begin? In this webinar you'll learn to apply various approaches to locate base map files, download imagery, and acquire terrain data from different online resources such as the USGS National Map Viewer, WFS servers, OSM servers, and WMS servers. While Surfer is featured in this video, these links provide base map data that can also be used in MapViewer!

http://gallery.usgs.gov/videos/567 The National Elevation Dataset (NED) is the primary elevation data product produced and distributed by the USGS National 3D Elevation Program (3DEP). The NED provides seamless raster elevation data of the conterminous United States, Alaska, Hawaii, and the island territories. The NED is derived from diverse source data sets that are processed to a specification with a consistent resolution, coordinate system, elevation units, and horizontal and vertical datums. The NED is the logical result of the maturation of the long-standing USGS elevation program, which for many years concentrated on production of topographic map quadrangle-based digital elevation models. The NED serves as the elevation layer of The National Map, and provides basic elevation information for earth science studies and mapping applications in the United States. The NED is a multi-resolution dataset that is updated bimonthly to integrate newly available, improved elevation source data. NED data are available nationally at grid spacings of 1 arc-second (approximately 30 meters) for the conterminous United States, and at 1/3 and 1/9 arc-seconds (approximately 10 and 3 meters, respectively) for parts of the United States. Quality Level 3 and higher lidar point cloud are also available in the public domain for download when they are the source of new NED DEMs. Most of the NED for Alaska is available at 2-arc-second (about 60 meters) grid spacing, where only lower resolution source data exist. Part of Alaska is available at the 1/3-arc-second resolution, and plans are in development for a significant upgrade in elevation data coverage of the State over the next 5 years. Specifications for the NED include the following: - Coordinate system: Geographic (decimal degrees of latitude and longitude), - Horizontal datum: North American Datum of 1983 (NAD 83), - Vertical datum: North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD 88) over the conterminous United States and varies in other areas, and - Elevation units: Decimal meters.
http://REtipster.com/?p=2591 If you're buying vacant land, one of the things you should be researching is the elevation and topography of the property. Here is a quick tutorial on how to get some perspective with Google Earth. Download the software for free at http://google.com/earth There are many, MANY places in the world that have unpredictable elevations, cliffs, mountains, valleys, ravines and more. In many cases, the topography of the land can have a huge impact on the build-ability of a property. For the same reasons you can't build a house on vertical cliff, you should be doing some preliminary research to find out where your property is located and what the lay of the land is. One of the best ways to do this is with using Google Earth (which is free). You can download the software, search for your property (using the address or coordinates) and zoom in using your mouse buttons along with the control and shift keys on your keyboard. This will allow you to tilt the earth on its side so you can see precisely where all the hills and valleys are in the area. This software has given me a crucial perspective on dozens of the vacant land properties I've purchased.
Learn how to draw contour lines by first plotting elevation points. Then draw smooth lines and label them. The contour lines then portray the 3 dimensional shape of the surface of the land.
This is the easy method to calculate the elevation of the ground using google earth ..
The "elevation" of a geographic location is its height above or below a fixed reference point, most commonly a reference geoid, a mathematical model of the Earth's sea level as an equipotential gravitational surface . Elevation, or "geometric height", is mainly used when referring to points on the Earth's surface, while altitude or geopotential height is used for points above the surface, such as an aircraft in flight or a spacecraft in orbit, and depth is used for points below the surface. Less commonly, elevation is measured using the center of the Earth as the reference point. Due to equatorial bulge, there is debate as to which of the summits of Mt. Everest or Chimborazo is at the higher elevation, as the Chimborazo summit is further from the Earth's center, while the Mt. Everest summit is higher above mean sea level. A topographical map is the main type of map used to depict elevation, often through use of contour lines. In a Geographic Information System , digital elevation models are commonly used to represent the surface of a place, through a raster dataset of elevations. Digital terrain models are another way to represent terrain in GIS. The elevation of a mountain usually refers to its summit. The elevation of a hill also refers to the summit. A valley's elevation is "usually" taken from the lowest point, but is often taken all over the valley. This map is derived from GTOPO30 data that describes the elevation of Earth's terrain at intervals of 30 arcseconds . It uses color and shading instead of contour lines to indicate elevation.

Learn how anglers use bathymetric maps to catch more fish. Subscribe: http://bit.ly/2jwNfv0 More ice fishing tutorials: http://bit.ly/2ucA3CT If you haven't seen a bathymetric map before, they're the submerged equivalent of a topographic map. While the lines, known as contours, of a topographic map show elevations above sea level, the contours of Bathymetric maps show the water depth and what the terrain is like beneath the water's surface. To read a bathymetric map, just look at the space between contours. The closer the contours, the steeper the slope of the underwater terrain. Conversely, contours spaced further apart indicate landscape features with a more gradual slope. Now let's take a look at how to read a bathymetric map to catch more fish. 0:41 First, use the bathymetric map to identify habitat features that are more likely to hold fish. 1:07 Second, you can use a bathymetric map to find depths where the species you're targeting are most likely to be. 1:20 Third, if you have a fishing hole where the fishing is always good, then you can use bathymetric maps to identify other potentially productive areas to fish.
This video is the best explanation you'll find on YouTube about how contour lines show elevation on topographic maps. Learn definitions and examples of contour lines, index contours, and contour interval, and try your hand at determining elevations and calculating contour interval. This video is part of a series on wilderness navigation and orienteering. See the complete series on our YouTube channel, or at our website, www.croc.org When looking at elevation and contours, there are three key terms we need understand. The contour line, the contour interval, and index contour. Let's start with the contour line. Imagine you're on a small island in the ocean. The high point of your island is about 35 feet, and it's a few hundred feet around at the water's edge. Let's also imagine that you have a really big piece of chalk. Now, imagine yourself walking from sea level up to an elevation of 10 feet. You now walk completely around the island at 10 feet of elevation, drawing a mark every few steps with the chalk. You walk more or less in a circle, and arrive back at your exact starting position in a few minutes. You changed direction, walking north, east, south, and west all around the island, but you stayed on the same 10 foot elevation line the entire time. Now, you walk uphill 10 more feet to the 20 foot elevation, and repeat the previous process. You again walk around the island at the 20 foot contour line, leaving a trail of chalk marks. You repeat this one more time, walking uphill 10 more feet to the 30 foot line, and walking around and marking what little remains of the island at elevation 30 feet. Now, you've drawn three lines. Each loop is 10 feet higher than the preceding one, and all the loops are getting smaller as you get towards the top of the island. A bird's eye view of your island is on the right, which is a perfect contour map of your island. So, this gives us a definition of a contour line - a continuous line of constant elevation. The second of our three terms is a contour interval. An interval is the elevation difference between each contour line. In our example with the island, the interval was 10 feet. Intervals can be in meters or feet, and can be different on every map. On the left is a small scale map from Canada, with an interval of 50 meters. On the right is a 7 1/2 minute map from the US Geological Survey, with interval of 40 feet. Sometimes the interval is printed right on the map, and sometimes you have to figure it out yourself. Contour intervals are almost always multiples of 5, such as 5, 10, 20, 40 or 80. The interval chosen by the mapmaker depends on how steep the terrain is. Intervals may range from 5 feet in very flat areas, like Florida, to 150 or more feet very steep terrain or in small-scale maps. Usually in mountainous areas, the interval is 40 feet. Now, let's have a look at our third key term, the index contour. Here we see a map of the Emmons Glacier on Mt. Rainier. A little quick math shows us that these lines are 200 feet apart. So, knowing this, we can determine the contour interval if it's not printed on the map. To find the interval, we take the vertical distance between index contours and divide by five. Here, 200 feet divided by 5 gives us a contour interval of 40 feet. Now, let's figure out the elevations for each contour line between 4400 and 4600 feet. First, we need to figure out the contour interval. The contour interval is 40 feet. 200 feet between the marked index contours, divided by 5. We add a 40 feet to 4400, and we have the elevation of the next higher contour line. Again, we add 40 feet on to the previous line, and we get 4480. Add 40 feet onto the previous line, we get 4520. And finally, adding 40 feet onto the previous line, we get our last line of 4560. Once you know what the contour interval is, you can find the elevation of any point on your map. Here's how to do it. What is the elevation of Camp Schurman? First, we need to find the contour interval. 200 feet between the index lines divided by 5 gives us in an interval of 40 feet. What's the contour interval here? The index lines are 50 feet apart. Dividing 50 by 5 gives us an interval of 10 feet. What's the contour interval here? The index lines are 100 feet apart. Dividing 100 by 5 gives us an interval of 20 feet. Summary - 1 - All of the points on a contour line have the same elevation. 2 - Contour lines never cross each other. 3 - Index contour lines are printed in a bold, usually every fifth line. 4 - Some, but not all, index contours have an elevation printed on them. 5 - Dividing the elevation change between index contours by five gives you the contour interval. 6 - The contour interval is the real world change in elevation between each contour line. 7 - Sometimes this is printed on the map, and sometimes you have to figure it out yourself. 8 - When you know the contour interval, you can determine the elevation of any point on your map.

Q: Please don't red alert me for queues I've handled I have found the red alert has been helpful in prompting me to review queues.
There should be red when there's red dots against review queues:

image stolen from When I look at the review icon, I see red
However, when I have used all my reviews for some queues:

If those queues are large enough to warrant the red alert, it will still show on my review icon, even though none of the queues I am able to review in are not alerting.

It would be better if it is like this:

Can we have the red alert vanish if the alert is for queues we have finished reviewing for the day please? It's honestly annoying and will eventually degrade the UX for avid reviewers. (imo)

Princess Diana – the latest news
The world will forever be fascinated with Princess Diana. Proof of this is that more than two decades after her untimely death in August 1997, the 'People's Princess' continues to make 'the news'.
The latest? In a re-emerged recording, Diana can be heard describing her wedding to Prince Charles as the 'worst day of her life'.
Prince Charles also wanted out
It turns out Diana was not the only one who was having second thoughts. Prince Charles allegedly told biographer Robert Jobson that he was desperate to get out of the wedding in 1981 as he felt that he had not had enough time to get to know Diana properly but was under considerable pressure to start a family.
Here are a few more interesting things you may not know about Princess Diana…

Make It New
The Rise of Modernism
October 21, 2003 – March 7, 2004
The University of Texas at Austin's Harry Ransom Center will present a stunning array of more than 400 objects from the dominant and cultural movement of the 20th century in its exhibition, "Make It New: The Rise of Modernism."
The Ransom Center holds one of the richest and most diverse collections of Modernist art and literature in the world. "Make It New" offers a rare opportunity for students and the public to view the creations of this remarkable explosion in the arts and in ideas that helped reshape the vision of an entire century. Even our concept of the self was drastically altered; as Virginia Woolf wrote, around 1910 human character changed.
Modernism, which flourished from the 1890s to 1939, arose from a set of occurrences -- cultural, scientific and material -- that changed the nature of modern life. Modernism altered perceptions while capturing the imagination of patrons and publishers and worrying the stalwarts of the establishment. Some of its more flamboyant creations intrigued, frustrated, inspired and even enraged the public.
The Modernists reformed all of the arts -- architecture, dance, literature, music and painting -- by appropriating the great technological breakthroughs of the period into the fields of artistic endeavor and cultural production. While most exhibitions on Modernism have focused solely on literary or visual materials, "Make It New: The Rise of Modernism" presents a wider range of artistic creations, from musical scores and set design to mechanical inventions and the X-ray.
"As a movement, Modernism pushed the boundaries of what was artistically possible," said Ransom Center Director Thomas F. Staley. "This exhibition is an attempt not of definition, but of discovery and rediscovery of an artistic era that exploded with creativity and excitement."
"Make it new," Ezra Pound proclaimed. In this revolution, words were set free from syntax, notes from traditional harmonies and color and line from perspective. Dramatic works became musical and music became visual, and writings became sculptural.
Few institutions are better able to offer such a sweeping representation of Modernism as the Ransom Center. Since its founding in 1957, the Ransom Center responded to Modernism by collecting major texts, scores, manuscripts, art and objects from the movement. In turn, these collections helped define the institution's presence among major research libraries in America.
One of the foremost goals of the Center has been the acquisition, preservation and study of Modernist enterprises, particularly from the American, French and British traditions. It is especially appropriate that Ransom Center should host this interdisciplinary exhibition in the same year it is celebrating the completion of a major renovation.
Exhibition highlights include works that helped define Modernism, such as the annotated page proofs of James Joyce's "Ulysses," Frank Lloyd Wright's folios of architectural drawings and a corrected copy of T.S. Eliot's "The Waste Land." Additional works include Pablo Picasso's "Vénus du gaz," heavily corrected manuscripts of Marcel Proust's "Remembrance of Things Past" as well as art work by Juan Gris, Georges Braque and Max Ernst.
"Having lived most of our lives under the influence of Modernist art, we find it easy to forget its volatile origins, to overlook the remarkable strategies that the various groups and individual writers employed to bring their work to the forefront," said Staley. "Yet this distance allows us to see more clearly its remarkable breadth as well as its enduring influence."
Not presented in chronological order, Make It New is organized into thematic sections that reflect the period's rich diversity of ideas and expressions and enable viewers to better shape their understanding or version of Modernism: Portals of Discovery, Forms and Technologies, Invisible Worlds, The City and Marketing the New.
"This exhibition is not just another narrative that traces the history of Modernism, but rather an attempt to reveal Modernism in its myriad aspects," said Staley. "The exhibition exposes the kinds of textures, resonances and energies which made the first half of the 20th century so innovative that its art is still virtually synonymous with what 'newness' means," said Staley.
As a complement to the exhibition, the Ransom Center published a 160-page book, "Make It New: The Rise of Modernism," that contains 20 essays on Modernism commissioned for this volume. Twelve of the these are from authors and artists whose collections reside at the Ransom Center, including Julian Barnes, Penelope Lively, Russell Banks and Adrienne Kennedy. Also included in the book are essays by leading scholars in literature, art and music focusing on specific objects included in the exhibition.


SOUTH presents two Los Angeles composers, Ian Dicke and Alexander Elliott Miller***, showcasing large multimedia works that explore the space between mythology and history, from east to west, of our Southern United States.
Ian Dicke's Cowboy Rounds is a song cycle for piano/vocalist and live electronic processing. This work "remixes" pre-existing source material culled from the John and Ruby Lomax 1939 Southern States Recording Trip, an ethnographic field collection hosted online by the Library of Congress. Over a sequence of seven folk songs, the piece builds an intersection between old traditions and new technologies while examining the areas between permanence and ephemera.
A call to arms! When a challenge arises, HARJO emerges to meet the challenge. HARJO (Sal Barra, Matthew Holmes-Linder, & Brent Miller) performs works by the ensemble members, including Miller's Milton, a piece that explores the sliver of overlap between Milton Babbitt, Charles Bukowski, and doom metal.

2014 Horse Breeders and Owners Conference
For the first weekend in many years, the mercury was in the positive range for the Annual Horse Breeders and Owners Conference. Around 490 horse enthusiasts left their sunny farms to attend the 32nd Annual Horse Breeders and Owners Conference in Red Deer for a weekend filled with fun and education. Delegates came from all over BC, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Ontario and New Brunswick. The exhibit hall hosted over 50 booths sponsored by equine businesses and organizations.
The weekend started off with the 8th annual Stable Owners' Seminar on Friday afternoon and included four sessions specifically designed for stable owners. Topics on taxation, attaining and retaining staff and a panel on getting youth involved were presented to a crowd of over 100 people. The last session was a Town Hall Meeting where the formation of a stables association was discussed.
Friday night's "Open Barn" Welcome Reception was hosted by Zoetis. Delegates and the public were welcome to get their first look at the trade show and treated to a spread of cheese and crackers and drinks. Early bird draw prizes were distributed to the lucky winners and delegates entered additional bucket draw prizes.

FRONTLINES: VENTURE CAPITAL: MANAGERS OF JOHN HANCOCK SUBSIDIARY PURCHASE FIRM
Terry Williams
The management of Hancock Venture Partners Inc. purchased the firm from its parent, John Hancock Mutual Life Insurance Co., according to officials with the insurer and the former subsidiary.
Financial terms were not disclosed. Both firms are in Boston.
The new firm - which remains in Boston - is tentatively known as HVP Partners L.L.C. and wholly owned by the 13 managing directors, said D. Brooks Zug, a managing director.
HVP will continue as manager to the existing Hancock private equity fund-of-funds. It has about $3 billion, half of which is invested overseas, said Mr. Zug. The new funds will be owned by HVP, he said.
Hancock received about one-third of the unit's profits, according to published reports.
"What has happened here is a natural evolution with a firm like ours that operates in a different environment than our parent company," said Mr. Zug.
"As we became larger and more successful and we built a team of people that had built a personal reputation in the business, it became apparent that we would have to ultimately control our own destiny and own our firm. It is a good solution from everyone's point of view."

There will be a total solar eclipse on August 21st. It will occur at 28 Leo 53, conjunct with the fixed star Regulus.
There's a certain amount of hysteria on the Internet right now about this eclipse. My best advice. Keep a level head. In a typical year, there will be two lunar and two solar eclipses. An eclipse is not an event to be feared.
What makes this eclipse different? The path of the total eclipse crosses the United States.
Eclipses do signal a time for change, and change frightens some people. Trust in the idea that the change any eclipse brings to you is what is needed at the moment. Resistance will likely bring hardship.
Significant mundane events occur in every century that coincide with eclipses. That's why eclipses are a particular interest of mundane astrologers.
Two reasons for all the hype about this particular eclipse is its strong aspects to the famous "Sibley" chart of the United States Declaration of Independence and to the birth chart of President Donald Trump. There is plenty of Internet speculation about possible effects on the United States and President Trump. Depending on the astrologer making the predictions, the expected changes range from positive to catastrophic.
how you relate to areas of the chart affected by the eclipse.
Most of the cookbook interpretations you're likely to read online, in books, etc. assume that the client is an adult somewhere in their 20's to 50's. That's a good "golden mean" to aim at for age when you need to write a general-purpose interpretation.
The problem is, not every client is in their 20's to 50's. Some are younger. Many are older. These clients deserve a consultation that focuses on their special needs.
Consider a young child. Her parents want a consultation. She's 5. The context is simply wrong to talk about sexual matters. Yes, there is the occasional child who ends up later marrying someone from their childhood who is eighteen years their senior.
Consider a senior. Someone in their 80's. Discussions of career should assume less prominence.
Women face an ever-changing, ever more demanding world. While there is overlap between the concerns of men and women, there are also important differences. Our consultations – to be really effective – need to address those differences in a positive, constructive way.
When we adopt a one interpretation "fits all" approach, we force the individual to fit the horoscope. That's not the way it's supposed to work. Our role as humanistic astrologers is to fit the horoscope to the individual.
It's understandable that we astrologers want to demonstrate that our techniques provide accurate results. Astrology is castigated by the more respectable sciences as a pseudo-science, a quasi-science, or worse.
However well-intentioned, we do astrology a disservice when we "stretch the truth" in the evidence we marshal to support a particular technique.
I've been studying for the Astro*Carto*Graphy Certification Exam. There are two case studies that are very common in the written literature on Astro*Carto*Graphy. The first is the assassination of U.S. President John F. Kennedy (JFK) in Dallas, TX on 22 November 1963. The other is UK Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher. Both cases contain misstatements.


Pretty and delectable Firiehiwot Mekonnen is the General Manager of Ethiopia Airlines in Nigeria.Before rising to her new position, the mother of one was head of traffic and sales in Abuja.
In the wake of the news of Ethiopia Airline powering with an all female crew of pilots, engineers and cabin crew members in an international flight from Boles International Airport Addis Ababa to Lagos, she speaks of the massive responsibility of managing ET's huge business of five daily flights to and from Nigeria and her love for and relationship with the country.
She also speaks about the new ET policy of empowering women to be the very best of what they could be and other issues.
What was your first impression about Nigeria upon your arrival?
My first impression about Nigeria was very nice and very beautiful. Nigerians are very enterprising people. They are very happy and bubbly with energy. I like that. They can start up a conversation with you even when they do not know you.
Did you hear any stories about the country before your arrival?
Yes I heard a lot about Nigeria before my posting that Nigeria is Africa's giant with lots of blessed resources. I also heard some crazy stories about how Nigerians act. I have since found out that most of the stories are exaggerated. Yes to some outsiders, Nigerians are different but Nigerians are one of the most welcoming people I have met.
Did your real impression fit into the stories you heard?
In fact the impression I got once I came to Nigeria was different from what I heard. I came to really connect with Nigeria and Nigerians. I eat Nigerian food, dress in Nigerian attire, participate in different social gatherings. All these and others doubled my love for the country and its people who are really friendly. I cannot describe how it feels to attend Nigerian parties and events. It is so colorful.
Are there Nigerian foods, culture and traditions including fashion that you connect with?
I love Nigerian food. In fact, I go out with friends to Nigerian restaurants. I love the culture of friendship and family ties too. The attires are really different and I have quite a number of Nigerian national dresses because they are beautiful, colorful and graceful. I feel happy whenever I wear them. Even my family members and friends now have Nigerian dresses. I have been exposed to the richness of Nigerian culture and its people, Nigerian films (Nollywood) and the music. Do you know that Dangote has become a household name in Ethiopia since he built one of his factories in Ethiopia?
There are very few women managing many big organizations including airlines like you; do you see this development as a change from the norm and a win for women in the world and especially in Africa?
I see the world as continuously changing as to give more opportunity to women to become more leaders at the top of organizations and this is already proving itself by the way of increased productivity and improved efficiency Ethiopian Airline, the leading aviation group in Africa is taking the leading path in making this come true.
One of the value statement of Ethiopian Airline is " equal opportunity, employer committed to diversity and fairness" So you can see that this is happening already. ET has given women the chance to be pilots, engineers, ground handlers, aviation instructors, regional and country managers. If you come and see the biggest aviation Academy in Africa is in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia you will see lots of women studying these fields from all over Africa countries.
ET did an amazing thing recently when it launched an all women crew; do you see this as also one of the winning ways for African women?
ET brought the all women operated flight to Lagos on December 16, 2017 to show that women can do anything and to show that Nigeria can be a leading country that empowers women. This all women operated international flight was the first in Africa and it got applause from all corners of the world. Again on March 8, 2018, ET will do another all women operated flight to one of our new international destinations Buenos Aires, Argentina. This is intended to inspire African girls. This very bold statement is very important.
Could you make an assessment of ET business in Nigeria and Africa in general?
Already we are seeking partnerships with other African countries to strengthen their capacity to thrive like us. We are doing this in Togo, Malawi, Zambia, and more recently in Guinea. We fly to over 100 destinations worldwide with the most modern fleet of Boeing B787, Dreamliner B777 and Airbus A350. With our vision 2025 strategy, we are opening up more international routes in the next six months including to Geneva Switzerland, Buenos Aires Argentina, Nosybe Madagascar, and Kisangani DRC.

Sony kills Walkman
R.I.P. WALKMAN: Sony has given last rites to the iconic Walkman, which will be discontinued after a run that started in the late '70s, eventually spawning the now-ubiquitous personal player that replaced it. The company reportedly shipped the final batch of Walkmen in April. "We used to go visit [Sony founder] Akio Morita and he had really the same kind of high-end standards that Steve did and respect for beautiful products," former Apple CEO John Sculley said in an interview with Leander Kahney of the Cult of Mac blog. "I remember Akio Morita gave Steve [Jobs] and me each one of the first Sony Walkmans. None of us had ever seen anything like that before because there had never been a product like that... Steve was fascinated by it. The first thing he did with his was take it apart and he looked at every single part. How the fit and finish was done, how it was built." And the rest is history.

The thing I most enjoy about leading my class is seeing the smiles that happen instantaneously when we start moving, and the pure joy that dancing creates. Watching my choreography come to life is so fulfilling. The hour flies by so quickly, we are dripping with sweat, and after all the booty shaking fun we all leave exhilarated!
My Cardio Dance class is filled with top 40 hits and is continually evolving as I love to pull popular songs to keep my classes fun and current! My class is multigenerational women from 20-80 all enjoy it!
Teaching dance fitness is a fueled passion for me. Helping women not only transform their bodies but also their minds is such a rewarding experience! Not only do we burn 100's of calories, but we mentally let go and just have fun!! After the first song the room is transformed into smiles from ear to ear and the energy is electric! The most rewarding things I hear from my students.. that I make them happier healthy people, better mothers, wives, and friends.
Expect to feel disappointed when it's over, you'll want more!

'Anchor babies' new code words to demonize immigrants
'Anchor babies' are about to become a major issue in American politics. In the past few weeks alone influential columnist George Will (left) and New York State governor candidate Steve Levy have made it clear that the American children of undocumented Americans should not be given citizenship. Will reinterprets the 14th amendment and says it really can mean an end to birthright citizenship. Isn't it wonderful how Will like so many of the right wingers demands the original meaning of the constitution be adhered to -- until it suits them to say otherwise. Will came up with a flimsy reason to overturn the stipulation that all those born on American soil were American citizens. We know where Will is coming from. Here's his argument from 2006 for locking down the Mexican border. " America, the only developed nation that shares a long -- 2,000-mile -- border with a Third World nation, could seal that border. East Germany showed how: walls, barbed wire, machine gun-toting border guards in towers, mine fields, large, irritable dogs. And we have modern technologies that East Germany never had: sophisticated sensors, unmanned surveillance drones, etc. " Sure. Now Will and others are ensuring anchor babies will become a code word for those who believe that many illegal immigrants come here in order to have babies who then cannot be deported and who can eventually claim in their parents. Forget the fact that claiming in parents would take over 21 years before it could happen --don't let the truth get in the way of a good narrative. Levy, who won his races for county executive in Suffolk County in Long Island on the back of being a strident anti immigration politician has actually used the term anchor babies and has refused to apologize for it. Then he barely apologized after a Latino immigrant was knifed to death in his county by a gang of racist youths. He is running for governor on the Republican line. He switched from Democrat which was no surprise and Republicans think he has a better shot than the faded Rick Lazio to beat Andrew Cuomo the overwhelming front runner. I'm glad to see that Levy is not getting a free pass on his immigration stance - and from a former anchor baby. Attorney General candidate Sean Coffey from Westchester , the proud son of Irish immigrants has already put it up to Levy that his stance is racist. Coffey pointed out his own parents were not citizens when he was born. "I must be an anchor baby," Coffey told Newsday explaining he was born years before his parents became citizens...I am not intimately familiar with the means by which they became citizens. They were certainly assisted by the fact they had seven citizens as children." "...When you use pejorative terms like 'anchor baby,' you don't get to define the scope of insult." Here's another likely anchor baby. Ronald Reagan's grandfather . It has never been proven that his Irish great grandparents entered the U.S. legally from Canada in the 1840s. So it is good to see politicians like Coffey stand up to the anti immigrant hype so many politicians use these days. Hopefully more will follow his lead

The meeting have all the usual activities but we will also have the pleasure of Lord Mayor Gordon Bradbery addressing our meeting. After his short talk there will be the opportunity for members to ask questions. With the council elections due on 9th September this will be an ideal time to find out about the Mayor's plans for the future direction of Wollongong and, in particular, Dapto.
The club's next bus trip is to Meroogal House in Nowra on Monday, 4th September. There are only a few tickets left for this interesting visit so get in early to secure yours.
After the visit the bus will stop at a local club where members can enjoy a meal and good company.
Our wonderful concert group will be holding their Fathers' Day Concert in the hall on the 11th September. The concert starts at 1.30pm but it is a good idea to arrive early to get the best seats in the house and make new friends. There will be all the usual fun: a singalong, comedy and lots of good singing. Don't miss it – everybody is welcome; a gold coin donation at the door would be appreciated - you will receive a ticket in the exciting door prize draw held after the concert.

Bradley Air Conditioning is one of the oldest and most reliable A/C companies in Dallas / Fort Worth. Having opened in 1983, Brad Schroeder and his team of expert technicians have been servicing the metroplex for more than 30 years. Bradley Air Conditioning isn't the huge A/C company that you see dominating the advertising on the morning news. Brad says, "We could easily add many more techs, and grow into that huge company. We have the customer base to support it. But we would lose the personal connection with our customers and the quality of work you produce can suffer. So, I've chosen to maintain a small team of exceptional technicians who focus on quality and customer service. I truly believe that's why we have so much referral business."
One of the things that sets Brad and his company apart from other A/C companies is that he gives you tips and advice on how to keep your unit running in tip top shape, so you can avoid that mid summer crash in the first place. Check out his website for his suggestions on what you can do to maintain your A/C unit. Look under "Tips and Tricks."
And lastly, Bradley Air Conditioning offers Free Estimates on all new system installations. They have the experience, dedication to superior customer service, and are backed by The Good Contractors List $10,000 guarantee. You can trust Bradley Air Conditioning for your next air conditioning project.
