NJ Annual Gala
Add $10M to Budget to Fight Lead Poisoning in NJ's Kids, Advocates Urge
Tom Johnson, Energy/environment writer | February 2, 2016 | Energy & Environment
More children with high blood-lead levels have been found in some of state's older cities than in Flint, MI
Staci Berger, president and chief executive officer of the Housing and Community Development Network of New Jersey
When Gov. Chris Christie unveils his budget for the next fiscal year on February 15, it ought to include $10 million to fight lead poisoning in New Jersey, community groups urged yesterday.
High levels of lead were detected in more than 3,000 young children in the state last year, they noted. In 2014, 11 New Jersey cities were found to have a higher percentage of elevated blood-lead levels than the rates in Flint, MI, where lead in drinking water has become a national story. The other cities listed in the 2014 report were Passaic, New Brunswick, Plainfield, Irvington, East Orange, and Atlantic City.
"It's just as tragic and alarming thousands of children in New Jersey are exposed to lead poisoning,'' said Elyse Pivnick, environmental health director at nonprofit Isles, Inc., a community group based in Trenton, and one of the organizations asking Christie to put the money in the Lead Hazard Control Assistance Fund.
As in much of the rest of the nation, the primary source of lead poisoning is chipping and peeling lead paint applied many years ago in older housing that has not been well maintained. The state tries to reduce exposure by offering loans or grants to property owners from the fund, which has been depleted by diversion to the general budget.
"It is a solvable, fixable problem and we should do it,'' said Staci Berger, president and chief executive officer of the Housing and Community Development Network of New Jersey, referring to the risks posed by lead-based paint.
Earlier this year, the Legislature passed a bill (S-1279) that would have appropriated $10 million to address the problem, but it was among dozens of bills pocket vetoed by the governor following the end of the prior legislative session.
In the past 15 years, elevated lead concentrations have been found — for the first time in their lives — in about 225,000 children age 5 and under. Young children face the greatest threat from lead poisoning, which can cause permanent brain damage and a lifetime of learning problems and behavioral issues.
While some gains have been achieved in reducing lead poisoning over the past two decades, the problem still disproportionately affects poor, minority children in the nation's older cities, according to Pivnick.
In New Jersey, that is the case with some of the oldest and largest cities, including Newark, Jersey City, Paterson, and Elizabeth, among those cited for having more children with elevated blood lead levels than Flint. In Trenton, for instance, of 3,421 children tested, 214 had high levels of blood in their systems. By comparison, Flint, in 2015, tested 3,339 children, with 112 showing elevated levels.
"In 2016, no child should suffer from lead poisoning, it's a completely preventable issue,'' Berger said. "Our budget should reflect that.''
The advocates noted more than $50 million targeted for the lead-control fund, which is supported by a tax on paint sales, has been diverted to the general budget. "This fund has been raided for over a decade to balance the budget, which has had devastating consequences,'' said Ann Vardeman, associate director of organizing and advocacy for New Jersey Citizen Action.
Also yesterday, Sen. Shirley Turner (D-Middlesex) announced she would introduce a bill Thursday to require inspections at many one and two-family rentals to make sure they are lead-safe. Such inspections were required by a 2008 law but never enforced by the Department of Community Affairs, according to Turner.

Lake Murray fireworks a success
in Business, Featured, Top Stories
Doug Curlee | Editor at Large
July 4 was a good night at Lake Murray.
Several weeks ago, there had been serious doubt the Lamke Murray Fireworks and MusicFest celebration — a daylong music concert culminating in the pyrotechnic display — would even happen.

Fundraising had not gone well, and many large donors who made last year's party happen didn't show up this time.
"We need about $75,000 to make it happen," said Rob Hotz at the time. He's one of the hardworking committee people who puts the event together.
But somehow, it came together — $77,500 dollars came through GoFundMe and other donations, and several businesses who were new to the mix came through in the pinch.
Several of those were from La Mesa, which came as a pleasant surprise to Hotz.
"We knew a lot of people from La Mesa came last year, and we figured it'd catch on there with some businesses. It apparently did," he said.
A major contributor to the fundraising effort is Stormburg Orthodontics, a San Carlos dental practice that pitched in the $15,000 to be the title sponsor for the event.

Dr. Kurt Stornburg says it was a no-brainer for his office.
"This community is where most of our patients come from, and giving back to the community is only good practice," he said. "We donate to other things as well, but this is important to the community. No doubt we'll be back again next year."
The concert started at 11 a.m., and ran right through until the 9 p.m. scheduled fireworks display.
Organizers of the event and the nine food vendors said the morning and afternoon crowds may have been a little smaller than last year, but that things began to pick up as evening approached.

By the time the fireworks touched off, Ron Hotz figures there were 10,000 people there to watch and cheer — many of whom had parked as far away as Patrick Henry High School. That is a very long walk.
In addition to seeing more funding for the Lake Murray fireworks come from La Mesa, extra security was also donated to the event by the La Mesa Police Department, which provided their services free of charge.
Additional La Mesa involvement was demonstrated by the appearance of two very attractive and dynamic young ladies — Miss La Mesa, Kelli Loper and Miss Teen La Mesa, Kennedy Dirken.
I caught the two of them at the start and finish line for the children's pillowcase sack races.
Couldn't resist asking Loper if they knew they'd be doing this when they won their titles.
"No, not really," she replied, "but what we mainly do is raise donations for things — and we're really good at that."
Might want to put them on the team for next year's fundraising.
We'll know in August whether there's enough money to seed the effort for next year's celebration.
There probably will be — the committee's gotten pretty good at this.

San Diego commemorates 250 years
Once a dusty hamlet and a boomtown gone bust, today San Diego is the eighth largest city in the nation. Put on your party hats — July 16 marks the 250th anniversary of America's Finest City and the celebration is underway.

Looking for a light and healthy Spring or Summer salad? This Golden Beet, Grapefruit, and Fennel Salad is divinely delicious offering a delightful combination of flavors and nutrients. Plus the colors from pink grapefruits, yellow beets, and purple onions are absolutely stunning!
Grapefruit is a delicious fruit high in Vitamin C and minerals, such as potassium. Grapefruit improves immunity and supports skin health, encouraging more radiant glowing skin. In addition to numerous health benefits from grapefruits, golden beets are filled with immune boosting and inflammation reducing antioxidants. You know what else rocks about beets? Beets support healthy livers and digestion. Additionally, the light citrus flavor from grapefruits and oranges pairs well with "earthy" beets, so beyond the fabulous health benefits, this salad is uniquely flavorful.
Have you cooked with fennel? Fennel is known for its distinct licorice flavor and crunchy texture. Besides being delicious, fennel is also nutritious. Filled with minerals and vitamins, such as calcium, manganese, magnesium, and iron, fennel promotes bone health, balanced blood pressure, and healthy hearts. Adding the unique flavor of fennel with grapefruit and beets creates a magical salad experience.
For more beet and grapefruit combos, try Beet and Grapefruit Juice (with cayenne).
Want to spend more quality time with fennel? Stop by Vermilion Roots for Christine's amazing Fennel and Pear Soup. Yum!
How do YOU cook with fennel, golden beets, and/or grapefruit? I would love to hear from you!
NOTES: Because fennel and beets are quite flavorful, lightly dressing the salad with olive oil and citrus juice seems to best compliment this salad's ingredients. A hint of lime juice also works well. Enjoy!
3. While beets are roasting, peel orange and grapefruits, discarding all white pith and skins. Cut between membranes of grapefruits to release grapefruit segments.
4. Place peeled orange slices and grapefruit segments into medium-large salad bowl.
5. Add chopped or thinly sliced fennel bulb, removing and discarding any browned outer layers or spots.
6. Peel cooled beets, and slice beets into quarters or thin rounds.
7. Add beets and chopped onions to orange, grapefruit, and fennel pieces.
8. Spoon lemon juice and orange juice over salad ingredients.
9. Drizzle with olive oil. Season to taste with sea salt and ground pepper.
10. Toss or lightly mix all ingredients. Garnish with thinly chopped basil leaves or mix basil leaves to salad. Refrigerate.

'He has had a magnificent career up until now': Jaffer names his 'preference' for Shubman Gill's substitution during the England Test series.
Modified Jul 2, 2021 2:24 PM IST
Former India cricketer Wasim Jaffer trusts Mayank Agarwal should accomplice Rohit Sharma in the absence of injured Shubman Gill in the impending Test series against England. The series starts off on August 4 at Trent Bridge.
Reports of Shubman Gill sustaining a leg injury came as a major blow for the Indian Team. The youngster has had a fine beginning of his Test career and his inconvenient injury– which is expected to see him miss at least the first Test against England or more – will currently drive the team management to shuffle the opening mix. Since December last year, Gill and Rohit Sharma have been opening the innings for India, yet have confidence that will change once India versus England five-Test series gets underway in August.
Must read: New Zealand's Pace Variety: 2021
The injury to Gill opens the entryways for Mayank Agarwal or KL Rahul to slot back in as an opener of the team. Agarwal worked effectively at the top of the order, scoring two double centuries of years prior to falling behind to Gill, while Rahul has not played a Test match for India since mid-2019. The presence of Abhimanyu Easwaran as a reserve player likewise gives India an option. However, if it was up to Wasim Jaffer, he would give his vote to Agarwal. The former India opening batsman reckons Agarwal is a greatly better fit and ought to get the preference over Rahul.
"It will be a very big opportunity for Mayank Agarwal and KL Rahul with Mayank being my first preference. He has had an astounding career up until this point. He was dropped after two poor outlings in Australia yet I am certain he will be anticipating this opportunity. Its a major series of five Test matches that can make or break a cricketer's career. I feel KL Rahul can likewise fit somewhere in the middle-order if not as an opener," Jaffer said on his YouTube video.
Weighing regarding Gill, Jaffer lamented the youth's injury for a series as big as this. The batsman started his career in a bursting style in the Test series against Australia before runs dried up against England at home and in the IPL. Fingers have been pointed at Gill's batting technique despite the fact that he got a decent start in the first innings of the WTC final. What's more, particularly now, with India looking for a Test series win in England after 14 years, Jaffer feels the blow possesses wrong time for India and Gill the same.
"It will be a big blow for India just as Shubman Gill in light of the fact that as a young talent, you anticipate this sort of series to make a name for yourself. Taking into account that we judge a player by their overseas performance, it's anything but difficult for him to miss the first couple of games," Jaffer added.
"It's anything but a vital series for India since we haven't won any series in England since 2007-08 however we have come closer. In spite of the fact that Shubman Gill's injury will be a major blow, the players will hope to venture up and deliver."
Match Prediction: West Indies Vs South Africa 4th T20I: Match Prediction
Options available for India as a replacement of Shubman Gill are plenty, let's have a look at what jaffer feels, fills the empty spot.
In his last Test for India, Mayank Agarwal batted in the middle-order as likewise Virat Kohli and Hanuma Vihari were unavailable in Brisbane. Nonetheless, with Gill far-fetched to include, it gives an extraordinary chance for the Karnataka batsman to solidify his position in the playing 11. Agarwal and Rohit have produced a brilliant start at the top in a limited span of time. They have put on 415 runs at an average of 69.16 on the six occasions they have opened hitherto.
As it turns out, the last time KL Rahul scored a century was also against England at The Oval in 2018 but in a losing cause. From that point forward, he has played only seven more Tests (12 innings) in a range of close to three years and has failed to move beyond 50 even once. All of Rahul's five-Test hundreds have come as an opener – a position where he has scored 1,195 runs at an average of 36.82.

For Josh Malone, Tennessee Titans not just a homecoming. It's a 'special opportunity' | Estes
Gentry Estes
I'm not picking on Mel Kiper Jr., or throwing a big ol' stone from my glass house. Plenty of takes I'd love to have back.
Having said that, here's one from 2017 that ESPN's iconic NFL Draft guru would probably want back, too:
"I really like Cooper Kupp but would have gone with Chris Godwin or Josh Malone before him," wrote Kiper in giving the L.A. Rams the lowest post-draft grade in the league that year.
The Rams' third-round selection of Kupp has worked out pretty well. He was the AP's offensive player of the year in 2021. Godwin, who went 15 picks later, has also built a stellar pro career with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
And then there's the other wide receiver Kiper would have drafted ahead of Kupp.
Our player, as it were.
Perhaps it still says something about Gallatin's Josh Malone that he carried such high expectations out of the University of Tennessee. Even as he hasn't yet met them in the NFL as a fourth-round pick, it shows the kind of upside that could still be there as the former Station Camp star works to jumpstart his career with his hometown team.
The Tennessee Titans signed Malone in February, making five teams in less than five years – not counting those last season that worked him out but didn't sign him.
A shot with the Titans hits differently, though, for Malone. Not only is it the franchise he grew up supporting. It is "still home," he said. It's close to family still in Gallatin and the Nashville area.
ON THE O-LINE:Dillon Radunz talks about Year 2 leap with Tennessee Titans
ESTES:Ryan Tannehill and the 'firestorm' he never meant to create
TITANS OTAs:Six takeaways from the sideline at practice
"This is a special opportunity," said Malone, cooling down after a Titans OTA practice last week. "The opportunity to come back home and play doesn't come around every day, especially in the professional ranks. I was blessed enough to go to Tennessee and get the opportunity to play for the home-state school, and now I get the opportunity to play for the pro team in the hometown."
Malone arrived as a well-known receiver, but a roster longshot nonetheless. He hasn't played in an NFL game since 2020, having bounced between two seasons with the Cincinnati Bengals, who drafted him, to two more with the New York Jets and two other practice squads.
He figures to have a legit opportunity with the Titans. They need receiving depth, which is the case for them every offseason, basically. Last season, free agents like Marcus Johnson and Chester Rogers made the roster and contributed.
Why not the 6-foot-3, 205-pound Malone?
While his paltry NFL production (only 11 passes caught in four seasons) is concerning, memories of Malone's final season with the Vols – 50 receptions for 972 yards and 11 touchdowns – still linger as an example of the potential that hasn't yet been realized in the pros.
"It's nerve-wracking. It's frustrating," Malone said of staying positive while waiting for NFL opportunities. "But it's all about perspective. … I just want to show that I can do my job and I can my job at a high level. I just want to carve out a role."
Over in Knoxville, the Josh Heupel era has introduced a stronger brand of offensive football, so much that it's easy to forget the Josh Dobbs era at quarterback in which Malone once excelled.
"We had an explosive bunch at school," Malone said. "What we were doing up there, we were having fun. I can't even imagine what numbers we would put up in that offense."
Read the latest columns from The Tennessean's Gentry Estes
Like most people, Malone was "impressed" by Heupel's first season. But being back in the state, he is also hearing "a whole bunch of hype" and expectations building back for his old program.
He's more cautious. He doesn't want to say something to add to the hype. He said he just wanted to see the Vols keep taking steps.
Such an approach, in some ways, can be applied to his own football journey.
"Most of the people that know me know what I can do," Malone said. "I just want to continue to keep improving and keep showing people I can play. That's really about it. People's expectations, I don't really think about other people's opinions. I just want to control what I can control."

David Attenborough Urges Halt to Ocean Mining Plans
Science Nathan Williams	 25 March 2020
Sir David Attenborough has urged countries to halt plans to mine the deep sea following the publication of a new report from Fauna & Flora International (FFI) that warns deep sea mining could cause significant loss of biodiversity, disruption of the ocean's life-support systems and its carbon storage function.
The report – The Risks and Impacts of Deep Seabed Mining to Marine Ecosystems – has been drafted by scientists at FFI and is the first to comprehensively assess the risks and potential impacts of mining the deep seabed for minerals. Its publication comes ahead of a July meeting of key countries hoping to finalize the rules that will govern deep sea mining. Minerals that can be found on the seabed are in increasingly high demand for use in technological appliances and equipment such as mobile phones and batteries.
The report presents a number of concerning findings about the potential impacts of mining the deep seabed including:
The disruption of entire ecosystems that are home to largely unstudied marine life and biodiversity. Diverse microscopic life flourishes in these ecosystems and this nearly invisible microbial life is responsible for the majority of the chemical cycling that occurs in these habitats, helping maintain and balance deep-sea environments
The creation of large sediment plumes that travel long distances, smothering ecosystems distant from mining sites and killing marine life
The loss of microbes from sediments and hydrothermal vents that reduce methane and capture carbon and contribute to regulating the global climate. Methane is a potent greenhouse gas, 25 to 50 times stronger than carbon dioxide
Disruption of the ocean's "Biological Pump" which draws carbon from the atmosphere and transports energy and nutrients between different parts of the ocean, balancing ocean chemistry. This system plays a key role in ocean health and productivity, in maintaining the stability of the climate and thus supporting life on earth
The exposure of seabed life to toxic metals, the release of heavy metals and the spread of toxins to areas of the ocean that host the majority of the world's fisheries
The risk of runaway acidification associated with the harvesting of seafloor sulphide deposits which have formed over millions of years
"Minerals on the seabed are center-pieces of deep-sea ecosystems. Plans to mine the deep sea must be put on hold," says Pippa Howard, Director at Fauna & Flora International. "The conclusions we have come to after extensive study could hardly be more troubling. From methane release to disruption of the ocean's life-support systems and the destruction of unstudied ecosystems, the risks of deep sea mining are numerous and potentially disastrous."
AN OCEAN UNDER STRESS
Human activity is already placing the ocean under severe strain. The ocean has absorbed one-third of all human carbon emissions and 93% of all the extra heat trapped by those emissions. The carbon dioxide dissolved in the ocean is making it more acidic, with consequences for marine ecosystems around the world, including coral reefs. In addition up to 13% of global fisheries have collapsed as a result of overexploitation and there are close to 500 ocean dead zones covering an area as large as the United Kingdom. By 2100 more than half of the world's marine species may be close to extinction.
"The ocean is under immense stress from human activity and its function as a carbon sink keeps our planet habitable," adds Pippa. "To place the ocean under the additional stresses that would be created by deep sea mining would be rolling the dice with the functioning of key planet-wide processes. We take this step at our peril. The evidence we have gathered suggests it's time to pause deep sea mining plans and reconsider our use of the ocean before it's too late."
2020: A CRITICAL YEAR
Exploratory deep sea mining is currently underway, but mining on a large scale is unable to commence until nations have agreed on the rules that will oversee the mining. These rules are under development via the governing authority, the United Nations International Seabed Authority (ISA), with influential parties and nations pushing for these rules to be finalised in 2020. The next meeting of the ISA is in Jamaica in July 2020. This report therefore comes at a critical time as world leaders decide on the future of the deep sea. Given the review of evidence presented in this report, FFI is calling for a moratorium on deep sea mining. A motion calling on nation states to support a moratorium will be debated at the IUCN World Conservation Congress to be held in Marseille, in June.
"[The idea] that we should be considering the destruction of these places and the multitude of species they support – before we have even understood them and the role they play in the health of our planet – is beyond reason," Sir David says in the foreword to the report. "The rush to mine this pristine and unexplored environment risks creating terrible impacts that cannot be reversed. We need to be guided by science when faced with decisions of such great environmental consequence."
By Nathan Williams, Flora and Fauna International (FFI)

In this guide we will see the first steps to create an interactive application using WebGLStudio.

During this guide we will try to step in the most common steps that every user will encounter.

Lets start

# The interface

The current interface of the editor is still in an alpha state, it is not as intuitive as we would like to but this will be addressed
in future updates.

![Interface](imgs/webglstudio_interface.png)

There are several areas in the interface:
- **Scene View** where you can see the 3D area of your project
- **Scene Tree** a list of all the nodes of the scene
- **Inspector** the place where the properties of the selected object are shown
- **Play Controls** to launch the project
- **Sections** buttons to change between sections of the app
- **Low panel** multi-use panel that can be hide

# Sections

The editor is divided in six sections that you can access through the buttons in the left side:

- **Scene**: to edit/view the current scene
- **Drive**: to manage files (on the server or in memory)
- **Player**: to view the final result of your application
- **Code**: to edit the scripts in your scene
- **Graph**: to edit the graphs in your scene
- **GPU**: to check the resources stored in the GPU

# SceneTree, SceneNodes and Components

Before going into detail on how to use the editor it is important to understand the basics about how a scene is created.

To create our interactive application using WebGLStudio we need to create an Scene. A scene contains all the visible objects (meshes, materials) and all the behaviour (scripts, graphs).

To store our project we just save the scene as it contains everything.
(In the future maybe we will have another class on top of the scene called Project in case we want to load several scenes...).

The scene is contained in a ```LS.Scene``` class, and it can only be one active (although there are some tricks to have more than one using special components).

The scene contains ```LS.SceneNode``` that represent objects in our scene, and every scene node also could contain inside other nodes,
creating what is known as an [scene graph](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scene_graph) (not to be confused with the behaviour graphs in our system).

Scene nodes by themselves do not have any behaviour, to add them behaviour (draw something, interact with the user...) we need to attach components to them.

```LS.Component``` is the base class of every component in the system. There are components for many things, check the [guide about components](components.md) to know more about them.

To know more about the nodes structure check the [guide about Scenes](https://github.com/jagenjo/litescene.js/blob/master/guides/scene.md).

# Creating an object

Let's create an sphere, to do this click on the menu ```Node -> Primitive -> Sphere```.

A new node will appear in the node tree, and we inspect it we will see it contains a ```Transform```that handles its position,rotation and scale into the scene, and a ```GeometricPrimitive``` component in charge of rendering the sphere.

You can create more nodes, and attach components to give more behaviours. Drag meshes from the Drive or your harddrive, add lights, play with the materials, till the scene looks the way you like.

You can also drag a mesh to the scene view to insert it, currently WebGLStudio supports OBJ or DAE.

# Adding some behaviour

Now let's create an script to change its behaviour, to do this click in the button ```Add Behaviour -> Inner script``` in the inspector of the sphere node.

Now we have an empty script attached to this node, we can use scripts to control how the objects behave or to control the user interactions.

After creating the script the editor will switch automatically to the Code tab, and open the code of the script.

To know more about how to code inside WebGLStudio check the [guide to scripting in LiteScene](https://github.com/jagenjo/litescene.js/blob/master/guides/scripting.md)

To test the application now we can create a very simple script:

```js
//@sine movement
this.onUpdate = function(dt)
{
	node.transform.y = Math.sin( scene.time ) * 50;
	node.scene.refresh();
}
```

After writing an script, press the compile button (or control + enter) to evaluate it.

# Setting the final camera

Now we want to be sure the final project will be shown from the right camera position, so we need to configure the main camera.

Select the root node in the scene tree, and you will see in the inspector a component named Camera. Here you will have lots of parameters to control the final camera, if you want to see the scene from that camera you can click the tab Player in the left side of the editor.

If you are in the Scene Editor and  you want to copy the current view to the Camera, inside the Camera component you will see a button named "Copy from View", click that button to move the camera to the same position as your actual view.

# Testing the application

Now we want to run our application, to do that let's press the Play button on top of the editor.

When testing your application you can switch to the Player tab to see how the user will see once it is finished.

# Saving and sharing

Now we have a simple example, let's save our scene using the ```Project -> Save in server```.
Remember that you need to have an account created in the server.

Once save it you are ready to share it, click ```Project -> Publish``` and then ```Publish``` to open a window with your project.

# Final thoughts

We understand this tutorial is very basic, to know more about the posibilities of the engine, please check the [guides about LiteScene](https://github.com/jagenjo/litescene.js/tree/master/guides).

CVS Banned Cigarettes. Here's What Food Companies Need to Do Next
CVS announced they will stop selling cigarettes in stores, but experts say that are many more meaningful initiatives big corporations can undertake to help America get healthy.
By Amir Khan
A Dash of Feng Shui
5 Google Searches That Ended in the ER
Soda, burgers and BPA are three things that are making the U.S. unhealthy.
The news that CVS is going to stop selling tobacco is a big step for the company, which is going to focus on wellness. It got us thinking –what else could big corporations do to help America live better?
Here are five ways they can start:
1. Quit Marketing to Kids
Did you know that around the world, the only character more recognizable than Ronald McDonald is Santa Claus? Fast food and junk food companies love children, and spend nearly $2 billion every year marketing their products towards children, according to the Yale Rudd Center for Food Policy and Obesity.
These companies try to hook them early – Nabisco makes an "Oreo Counting Book." And once they know their numbers, you can help them learn their multiplication with the help of a "Hershey's Multiplication Book."
But does having your kids stare at pictures of cookies help them learn their numbers or just make them hungry for a double-stuffed cookie? Stopping this marketing could be the step needed to put a hold on the childhood obesity epidemic, which now affects 1 in 3 children.
RELATED: Michelle Obama's Incomplete Obesity Fight
2. Get Fast Food Out of Hospitals
When you think of hospital food, the first thing that typically comes to mind is a bland meal, complete with Jell-O, served on a cardboard tray. But depending on which hospital you're in, you may be able to get some fries to go along with your surgery.
"The fact that the hospital is allowing fast food in there makes guests start to believe that the food is healthy."
Sara Deon
McDonald's has 27 restaurants in U.S.hospitals, according to a 2012 report by the Physician's Committee for Responsible Medicine, a nonprofit organization that promotes preventive medicine. Some hospitals, the report found, house as many as five fast-food restaurants, which gives patients the wrong impression about the health of fast food.
"Hospital guests believe that food is evaluated before it's placed in the hospital," Sara Deon, political scientist and campaign director for the non-profit organization Corporate Accountability International said, citing a 2006 study in the journal Pediatrics. "The fact that the hospital is allowing fast food in there makes guests start to believe that the food is healthy."
Many of these chains have decade-long (or longer!) leases in hospitals, making it difficult for hospitals to kick them out.
"It's a brilliant piece of marketing," Deon said.
3. No Soda in the School Cafeteria
Sugar-sweetened drinks are the bane of many doctors – these calorie-laden drinks do nothing but add pounds onto the waists of their patients. And for many people, their love of soda, iced-teas and other drinks starts in schools.
Children drink an average of six sugary drinks per week, according to KickTheCan, an advocacy organization aimed at raising awareness about the dangers of these drinks, and with an average, which adds hundreds of unnecessary calories to their diet.
"Removing soda from schools would be a big step," said Kristen Van Sickel, RD, a registered dietician with Houston Methodist Hospital in Texas. "Parents have no control over what their child buys at school, so removing those products from schools is important. You may give your kid money to buy a milk at lunch, but you don't know for sure that they're not using it to buy a soda, so removing them from schools completely is the way to go."
However, Ivan Oransky, MD, vice president and editorial director for Medpage Today, said that taking soda out of school isn't enough by itself.
"You can take the soda out of schools, but if you're also decreasing and removing recess and not encouraging kids to be active, then I think you're going to see a very limited effect," Dr. Oransky said."There's an argument for kids continue to eat and drink what they want if you look at the bigger picture, which starts with getting them more active and moving."

4. Say No Way to BPA
BPA is a chemical widely used in plastic food packaging, but in recent years, has been linked to a host of diseases, including cancer, heart and kidney disease, asthma and much more. BPA is frequently found in canned foods, water bottles and baby bottles, but has been less frequently used since information on the dangers has emerged.
The FDA still maintains that the chemical is safe in "small doses," but in 2008, Canada concluded that the chemical is "toxic to human health and the environment," and the EU banned the use of BPA in baby bottles in 2011.

5. Make the Healthy Choice Easier
Ultimately, living better is about making smarter choices – but what if those choices came standard?
"I'd like to see the healthy choice become the default choice," Van Sickel said. "When I go out to eat, I have to ask for brown rice or pasta. If that was the default choice, and I had to ask for the white rice, that could help people make the switch. This is something that company cafeterias, restaurants and schools can all do help people live healthier."
For example, Van Sickel said, fast food restaurants could make a salad the standard size instead of fries, or make sandwiches come on whole wheat buns by default.
In addition, adding taxes on unhealthy food, like the taxes that are on cigarettes and alcohol, would make the healthy choice more affordable, Van Sickel said.
"That would help make the unhealthy choice the harder choice," Van Sickel said, "which is what we ultimately need to do to really get America healthier."

Thesis acknowledgements are a written part genre in which graduate students express their gratitude towards a number of addressees upon completion of theses. Previous studies on thesis acknowledgements have focused on the expressions of gratitude or their generic structure. However, socio-cultural values and norms can shape the ways people express thanks and influence the rhetorical structure of a genre like thesis acknowledgements. The present study compares and contrasts the use of thanking strategies in 60 thesis acknowledgements written in English by Taiwanese and North American master students. Results show that Taiwanese students (TS) use more thanking strategies than North American students (NAS); specifically, they employ more explicit thanking strategies but less implicit thanking strategies than NAS. They also use more complex thanking strategies but less simple thanking strategies than NAS. Interestingly, the two groups vary in the arrangement of addressees and the choice of strategies for various addressees, reflecting different cultural perceptions of expressing gratitude. For example, NAS appear to make a more flexible arrangement of advisors and family members than TS. These subtle differences between TS and NAS thesis acknowledgements reveal Taiwanese and North American students' embedded socio-pragmatic perceptions of writing this genre.

Join us Next Year June 12-16.
Many thanks to everyone who came and participated in this year's Las Vegas International Chess Festival.
The National Open broke the 700 player mark for only the 3rd time since 2001, finishing with 722 players in the 8 sections. This was also the 1st time we added an extra round to the main event and players could therefore choose between 4-day, 3-day and 2-day schedules.
In the US Women's Open, Saikhanchimeg Tsogtsaikhan won the event with a perfect score of 5 out of 5. 44 players participated this year making it the largest so far.
A further 228 players participated in the International Youth Championship bringing the total number of players up to nearly 1000. There were also 124 players in the one-day Youth Trophy Tournament, although I'm sure most of those stayed on and played in the IYC too.
The dates are already set for the 2019 Las Vegas International Chess Festival which will be held June 11-16, 2019. It was also announced that next year's Open Section will be changing to a 9-round event making FIDE norms possible! We look forward to seeing you there!
really really enjoyed it. Thank you very much for a superb tournament and a great time. the standard of u s chess was very strong and I had enjoyable matches. the g m free analysis was also superb. very entertaining and instructive.
Many thanks to the organizers and personally to Alan Losoff and Mike Z for help. The first time to a tournament in the US, I hope to get another.

The Skull Cave
May 7, 2009 Tim	Leave a comment
Back when I was a kid, stumbling across a comic, pretty much any comic, was like finding a gold nugget. The Great Aunts used to have stacks of Women's Weeklies featuring Mandrake the Magician, the cousins had a treasure trove of Beagle Boys and Scrooge McDuck and the barber generally had bundles of my favourite at the time, The Phantom.
There never seemed to be consecutive copies so the stories didn't flow too well but that was almost a secondary consideration. I was a sucker for the Ghost Who Walked, lived in a Skull Cave with his dog, Devil, and flew around the world fighting crime. I'd have killed for a Skull ring that punched a skull imprint into bad guys' jaws. (Green Lantern rings came later.)
Today, following a quick rip through Wikipedia, I've learned that one author, Lee Falk, wrote Mandrake and The Phantom. He must have been a predecessor of Stan Lee, who seemed to be responsible for many of my favourites (Fantastic Four, Mighty Thor) as I grew older.
Interestingly, while I was at Bike Club last night I got chatting with the lads about books that got them reading as boys. One of my fellow after-dark crazies cited the Beagle Boys, Casper and Richie Rich as providing his early motivation to read, followed by the Hardy Boys. Comics were and still are an important way into literacy for many boys.
Another mad biker said he'd been reading the re-released Famous Five books to his kids. We all had fond memories of Enid Blyton's gang of young sleuths. I know the Hardy Boys have had a make-over as a graphic novel series and recently learned the Famous Five have been modernised in book form and animated for TV. Once a good story, always a good story.
Anyway, here's a pic from a family holiday earlier this year. It reminded me of the Skull Cave and made me want to dive back into boyhood adventuring. Given that I'd just been pulverised surfing, I had to make do watching my son clambering around the cliffs…

This well maintained farming village with its baroque church tower from the 15th century is very quiet, thanks to the bypass road. Its attractions include the Chasa Jaura valley museum, which has a permanent collection of antique objects owned by the region's former Jauer (the Romansh name for the local population) and regularly hosts contemporary art exhibitions. The restored lime kilns also provide a window into the past. In summer, Valchava is the starting point for lots of hikes. In winter, cross-country skiers can join the valley trail here.

The Underappreciated Role of the National Environmental Policy Act in Wilderness Designation and Management
Environmental Law, Vol. 44, No. 2, 2014
Lewis & Clark Law School Legal Studies Research Paper No. 2014-5
50 Pages Posted: 10 Jan 2014 Last revised: 23 Jan 2015

Date Written: April 22, 2014
On its 50th anniversary, the Wilderness Act owes much to the effect of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), both in terms of the number of acres in the national wilderness system and in the management of designated wilderness areas. Courts have closely scrutinized federal land management agency actions that threaten wilderness qualities — and this article maintains that the usual vehicle has been NEPA. Enacted a little over a half-decade after the Wilderness Act, NEPA was instrumental in the doubling of wilderness acres in the 1980s, as Congress added wilderness areas and released other areas to multiple uses in response to a NEPA injunction imposed on U.S. Forest Service management. NEPA has also had a considerable effect on wilderness area management, curbing timber cutting and recreational activities and, in combination with the Federal Land Policy and Management Act, requiring the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) to pursue the least damaging environmental alternative to re-routing a road bisecting wilderness study areas.
NEPA's influence on potential wilderness remains large a half-century after the passage of the Wilderness Act, as NEPA has ratified the Forest Service's roadless rule, which will protect potential wilderness areas from most developments, making them eligible for future wilderness designation. And NEPA has required BLM to identify and publicly disclose lands with wilderness characteristics when revising its land plans. Thus, NEPA has fulfilled its mission of improving environmental decisionmaking by encouraging the designation of new wilderness areas, insisting on careful management of existing wilderness, and approving both the protection of large roadless areas in national forests and the identification of roadless areas in BLM land plans. Without NEPA, there would be considerably less to celebrate on the Wilderness Act's 50th anniversary.

The highly anticipated film Winnie by Darrell Roodt will open the 8th edition of the Montreal International Black Film Festival on September 19th, as a Quebec Premiere. Winnie, a Canadian co-production, produced by Quebec producer Michael Mosca from Equinoxe Films, will kick-start the official competition. Winnie stars Academy and Grammy Awards winner Jennifer Hudson as Winnie Mandela, and Academy Award nominee Terrence Howard as Nelson Mandela.
"We are very proud to open the festival with such a big film produced by a Quebec producer. It's a deeply moving story that leaves no one untouched," stated Fabienne Colas, President of the Festival.
Based on the biography by Anne Marie du Preez Bezdrob "Winnie Mandela : A Life", Winnie is an intimate, in-depth and unbiased film that will take the audience on a remarkable journey of understanding Winnie Mandela, one of the world's most famous female activists, exploring both her personal and political life. Winnie Mandela is a complex historical figure, appreciated for her role in the struggle against apartheid led by her husband, but whose obscure acquaintances make an equally controversial personality.
Through her fierce determination and dauntless courage, Winnie Mandela survived her husband's imprisonment, continuous harassment by the security police, banishment to a small Free State town, betrayal by friends and allies, and more than a year in solitary confinement – all the while keeping the name of Nelson Mandela alive. A sensitive and balanced portrayal, the film nevertheless thoroughly investigates and honestly examines the controversies that dogged Winnie Mandela in recent years.
South African filmmaker and screenwriter Darrell Roodt, whose film Yesterday was nominated for an Academy Award in "Best Foreign Language Film" category in 2005, made an international name for himself with his debut feature A Place of Weeping (1986), a passionate condemnation of apartheid. Educated at the University of Witwatersrand, South Africa, he gained further acclaim for The Stick (1988), another look at the anti-apartheid struggle. In 1990, he made his first film with American backing, Jobman (1990).
Roodt's best-known film is his adaptation of the anti-apartheid stage musical Sarafina! (1992) starring Whoopi Goldberg. He has made around 30 films ans TV series among which Cry, the Beloved Country starring James Earl Jones and Richard Harris (1995). He has since alternated between making films in Hollywood and South Africa. His latest film Winnie has been officially selected in both Cannes Film Festival and Toronto International Film Festival.
After its Quebec premiere at the Montreal International Black Film Festival, Winnie, distributed by Equinoxe Films, will hit Quebec screens starting October 5, 2012. The 8th MIBFF will be held from September 19 to 30, 2012.

By the numbers, the economy offers a number of encouraging signs. The unemployment rate has dropped below 4 percent. Over 4.6 million jobs have been created over the past two years. GDP growth for the second quarter of 2018 hit 4.2 percent. And optimism levels — ranging from business owners to American consumers — are at or near record highs.
But, while the economy overall has taken off, there have been some growing pains. Job creation has outpaced the number of qualified workers, leaving 6.9 million jobs vacant in the U.S.
Although having more jobs available than qualified candidates to fill them is better than the alternative, it's a problem nonetheless — especially for small businesses that already have to go toe-to-toe with larger corporations to attract talent.
An environment in which small businesses are scraping to find employees is not a good sign for the future of the economy. There are over 30 million small businesses in the U.S., employing nearly half the country's workforce. If these entrepreneurs are left vulnerable by a lack of labor, the economic advances brought on by the tax cuts and regulation reductions could be stifled.
Luckily a number of different policy avenues are already being pursued to address the situation.
For starters, the current administration has launched the Council for the American Worker — an initiative designed to strengthen workforce development through expanding apprenticeship programs and promoting alternative education paths.
Encouraging young people to consider all of their education options — including vocational schools and technical training — will help ensure a better-equipped labor force that can more adequately fill available positions. Clearing these alternative education paths will also open up career opportunities for many who would have been ill-served by a traditional four-year liberal arts degree.
Furthermore, new rules are being implemented that will give small businesses a more competitive edge in attracting employees. Earlier this year, the Department of Labor released new rules that expanded access to association health plans for small businesses. This move allows small businesses to join together and access cheaper health benefits, akin to those offered by larger corporations. Prior to the change, small businesses and their employees were left to their own devices to find affordable health insurance — a considerable challenge in a market characterized by skyrocketing prices and limited choice.
The most recent development follows a similar blueprint — except this time for retirement benefits. At the tail end of last month, President Trump issued an executive order directing the Treasury and Department of Labor to draft new rules that will make it cheaper and easier for small business owners to extend retirement programs to their employees. It's yet another tool small businesses can use to entice the limited number of job candidates that are available.
On the surface, the economy is booming. But if we don't continue to address the strain caused by the labor shortage before it fractures, that boom could be reduced to a flicker.

1. The government employees are believed to be the deciding power in some of the important governance fields such as property registration, defence and revenue collection. Every private company in India is dependent on the government organizations to some extent to run their businesses smoothly.
Graduates and professionals who are looking to seek employment in the international market must first look into their area of profession and skill sets whether it is currently in demand in the country they are aspiring to work. Candidates whose skill sets and professional experience are in great demand in the international market can expect good career growth and attractive remuneration.
As explained earlier, big business today has huge problems with swift response to competition as compared to many smaller, more efficient firms. Big business is likely to be less rather than more able to survive in a more-perfect market. In a more-perfect market, with the right skills and type of organization, it should be easier to start a business – not harder. The "born not made" perception of entrepreneurs is also a result of many pop-psych studies that have purported to show that entrepreneurs have unique personality traits: No traits–no entrepreneur. In fact, these studies are often contradictory, and offer no clear evidence that a mystical set of success traits determines entrepreneurial effectiveness.

"Work It" is a hip hop song written by American rapper Missy Elliott and her producer Tim "Timbaland" Mosley for Elliott's fourth studio album Under Construction (2002). The song's musical style, and production by Timbaland, were heavily inspired by old school hip hop from the early 1980s. It samples Run-D.M.C.'s "Peter Piper" and Rock Master Scott & the Dynamic Three's "Request Line".
Released as the album's first single on September 16, 2002, the track reached the number two position on the US Billboard Hot 100, becoming Missy Elliott's most successful single to date. A remix of this song features 50 Cent. The end of the song samples "Take Me to the Mardi Gras" by Bob James and was also sampled in one of Missy's first features "The Things That You Do", and the synth pattern in the rhythm track samples the intro of "Heart of Glass" by Blondie.

Lyrics[edit]
A portion of the song's lyrics helped popularize the slang term "badonkadonk" with mainstream audiences ("Love the way my butt go bum-bump-bum-bump-bump/Keep your eyes on my bum-bump-bum-bump-bump/And think you can handle this badonk-a-donk-donk").[2]
During the chorus, the lyric "I put my thing down, flip it, and reverse it" has literally been reversed, a part many[who?] have assumed to be gibberish. In the middle of the song, after the lyric "Listen up close while I take you backwards", the lyric "Watch the way Missy like to take it backwards" is also played in reverse. This vocal reversing trend made it to several of her productions during the following years.
In the song's chorus, an elephant trumpeting is heard to hide a sexual reference ("If you got a big [elephant trumpet], let me search it"). There is no version of the song that replaces the elephant sound with a word it is meant to hide; there is no word to hide, as it is meant to be left to the listener's imagination. In both the explicit and edited versions, the song uses onomatopoeia such as "ra-ta-ta-ta" and "buboomp buboomp boomp" to refer to sexual bodily moves.[3]
Music video[edit]
The music video to "Work It" was directed by Dave Meyers. Timbaland and Tweet make cameos in the video. Alyson Stoner stars as Lead Kid Dancer. The video pays tribute to Aaliyah (1979–2001) and Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes (1971–2002), who at the time had both recently died. They are commemorated in the music video with their images airbrushed on a car's hood. It also features an appearance by dancer and graffiti writer Mr. Wiggles from Rock Steady Crew. There is another music video that features 50 Cent rapping the first verse on the remix.
In shooting the video, director Myers shot the opening scene with live honey bees; only one crew member was stung. Additionally, he forgot to replace a glass of wine with a glass of water when filming the restaurant scene, so Elliott was heavily drunk after production.[4]
The video won the award for Video of the Year at the 2003 MTV Video Music Awards.[5] In a 2010 interview with "Dance Spirit", Alyson Stoner revealed that she almost didn't go to the audition for "Work It" and her dancing is featured in a clean part of the video.[6] "Work It" was choreographed by Hi-Hat.[7] Alyson Stoner won the role of Lead Kid Dancer out of 400 to 500 kids.[8] In 2018, Billboard critics ranked it 2nd among the "greatest music videos of the 21st century."[9]
Alyson Stoner tribute video[edit]
In 2015, 13 years after "Work It" came out Alyson Stoner reunited with her former co-stars to release a tribute dance video of "Work It" for Missy Elliott.[10] This was done after people had been asking her why she didn't dance with Missy Elliott and Katy Perry during the 2015 Super Bowl.[11][failed verification][12]
Critical reception[edit]
John Bush of AllMusic described the song as "turn[ing] the tables on male rappers, taking charge of the sex game, matching their lewdest, rudest rhymes, and also featuring the most notorious backmasked vocal of the year." Bush cited the song as an example of Elliott's "artistic progression, trying to push hip-hop forward...neatly emphasizing her differences from other rappers by writing tracks for nearly every facet of the female side of relationships."[13]
Rolling Stone ranked "Work It" 25th in its list "100 Best Songs of the 2000s".[14] In 2003, The Village Voice named "Work It" the best single of 2002 on their annual year-end critics' poll Pazz & Jop; "Get Ur Freak On", a previous Elliott single, topped the same poll a year earlier.
Chart performance[edit]
"Work It" debuted on the US Billboard Hot 100 on chart issue dated September 14, 2002, at number 75.[15] In its second and third weeks, it leaped up to number 42 and number 24, respectively, taking the Airplay Gainer title in both weeks.[16][17] Within five weeks, it reached the top ten, at number 8, and gradually rose from there.[18] On the chart issue dated November 16, 2002, the song reached number 2, but because of the massive success of "Lose Yourself" by Eminem, it never reached number one. Instead, the song stayed at number two for ten weeks, a record that it shares with "Waiting for a Girl Like You" by Foreigner from 1981. Despite never topping the Hot 100 chart, the song topped the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart for five weeks.
On the Billboard magazine issue dated February 21, 2015, "Work It" re-entered at number 35, more than a decade after its original chart run. This re-entry occurred as a result of Elliott's performance at the Super Bowl XLIX halftime show earlier in the month; another Elliott single, "Get Ur Freak On," also re-entered the Billboard Hot 100 the same week.[19]

The number of migrants held trying to reach Europe from Turkey using illegal routes has increased by 60 percent this year, according to data from the Coast Guard Command.
A total of 14,470 migrants were held in the first seven months of this year, especially in the Aegean Sea, as well as in Turkey's southern Mediterranean Sea and the northern Black Sea, the data revealed. This figure was 9,152 during the same period in 2017.
According to the data, most migrants prefer to use the illegal routes in Aegean Sea to cross into Europe as a number of Greek islands are located close to Turkish coasts. A total of 13,336 irregular migrants used the Aegean Sea to cross into Greece this year, the data revealed.
Among the irregular migrants intercepted by Turkey so far this year, 1,640 were held in January, 1,363 in February, 1,849 in March, 2,534 in April, 3,398 in May, 1,925 in June, and 1761 in first 29 days of July.

Turkey hosts some 3.5 million Syrians -- more than any other country in the world.

HI! I am finally home and back to it today~ I really had a great time in Omaha and thought I'd record a very detailed log of the experience. Here's Part 1 of that recap….
Unfortunately I got sick with a bad sore throat/head cold on the Tuesday before the big weekend. I had a ton of stress and a ton of work to get done prior to the trip. All the stress plus some germs got me good and SICK! Good thing for me I have a supportive husband who helped ease my stress and who helped me be able to go to bed at 5pm the evening prior to my day of Travel.
Thursday arrived and I was still very sick, but the show must go on and I rose early at about 6:30 to finish getting packed and to have some time with my kids and hubby before I flew from AR to Denver. I was so focused on packing that I entirely forgot to eat anything. Once I got to the airport and past security It dawned on me that I needed to EAT something! All the cold meds really wiped out my appetite! So I ate a breakfast burrito and was sure to stock up with 2 water bottles for the flights ahead. The low carb tortilla was the first grains I had all week! I had done really well on our mini-challenge until that point. The flight to Denver went smooth, although I has a window seat~ So I couldn't easily get up to pee. Shesh~ that's the bad thing about having someone else book your flight for you. Had a good lunch in Denver and resisted the huge temptation to have a beer. YAY!! I had a great taco salad along with a couple cups of Ice tea. Denver to Omaha….which was a very tough landing. My ears hurt so bad the entire decent! WOW!! I've never flown with a head cold before and Hope to never fly with one again!
That evening Lisa and Deb Gray came over to my hotel. Lisa "our HERO" chiropractor adjusted both Deb and my neck's~ which ROCKED!! I love having my neck cracked!!! Deb then put on her competition suit and posed for us. SHE was RIPPED!!! Amazing to think that just 2 short years ago she was close to 200 pounds! Then we went out to RICK's Bistro for an awesome meal. I wore my Miss Me booty embellished jeans, an orange ¾ sleeve, v-neck shirt with animal print heels. Lisa and Deb also wore jeans and were blinged out with cool sequined t-shirts! Both Lisa and I got the same thing. The Tenderloin Medallions served with YUMMY mushroom sauce and asparagus. We also got Cesar salads and a glass of Merlot! Deb, the poor girl had to compete in just 2 days so she ate grilled tilapia, a salad, asparagus and WATER. We had fun talking and catching up about our kids, busy lives and the excitement for the weekend's events. We had fund despite the fact that Deb and I were both a little miserable…Deb had a neck kink that she had been dealing with since Monday Morning. And I felt like my head was in a fish bowl….my ears were so plugged up that I could hardly hear myself talk.
The next morning I got up EARLY at 5:30 for a radio interview. And thanks to the prayers from my friends and family my cold was a TON better!! I felt like a new woman!! God is so good~ He truly does love me and has blessed me BIG Time! The entire weekend was proof of that and makes me so excited to continue on with my mission and purpose in life! Traci G. from Complete Nutrition picked me up at about 7 am to go to the 104.5 radio station. They are an "at work" station and we had a quick live interview with them. It went really well despite my nerves flaring up the first minute of the interview. I was able to pull it together and made it successful.
We had a good response on www.buffmother.com from the radio spot. About 20 women instantly signed up for Team BuffMother and a few of them even ordered my books. The key selling point that I talked about in the interview was that "everyone knows all the "BAD" effects of their monthly hormones, but I am here to teach women that there are good effects of from their hormones too and my HT program teaches women how to utilize their hormones to get FASTER and Better results in their fitness, diet and supplementation programs. To the station I wore a long sleeved pink T with a gray BuffMother! T-shirt over it. Along with my grey chord skirt and Steve Madden white /silver heeled tennis shoes. I wore my hair down and curled a bit.
Traci and I really hit it off for our first meeting. She's a super hard worker and really does a TON for Complete Nutrition. She and I talked a lot about her own struggles with "losing" herself in motherhood and she's recently lost weight and is on a big time mission to get ripped like her DH. Cory and Traci work really closely together. He's the visionary and she's the worker bee. We also talked about how he LOVES hunting, has a bunch of hunting land with food plots, cameras and all the other cool things that go along with being a rich bow hunter.
After the radio event Traci dropped me off at my hotel and I worked on my seminar presentation along with eating a bit. I then headed to 24 hour fitness to meet up with Kathy and Lisa to do a little Back, Shoulder, Biceps workout. Kathy said it was her first time "working out" with others, so that was COOL! Both Lisa and Kathy are Chiropractors, so they have a great relationship and understanding of how our entire bodies work together for optimal health. While we were working out we caught up on a ton about our lives and worked our shoulders hard! I really could feel that I had been sick and was glad that we didn't do any cardio.
After the workout, I grabbed a chicken salad from Burger King, talked to my DH and NAPPED for as long as I could. About 1.5 hours nap was perfect and just what I needed to continue to improve in my health. After my nap, Deb came over and she was TAN!! HOLY Black woman~ She said her DH say at competition time he always gets "Jungle Fever". I believe it she's hot!
Anyhow I looked her over close and she was FLAT! Her metabolism is on fire and over the past 2 weeks she kept losing weight. She was down 3-4 pounds from the previous contest . We planned out that she needed to eat some more carbs that night and some FAT. I sent her off to register for the show with a cup full of trail mix.
I then got ready and headed to the Complete Nutrition store to familiarize myself with their layout a bit and meet the fine gentlemen that work there as salesmen. The store was posh and the salesmen were truly kind! Traci got my table set up with my books and a black table cloth. And I felt GREAT about the set up for the events to come.
Before I knew it was time to head back to the hotel and PRIMP once again for our DINNER at UPSTEAM. I wore my dark navy blue skinny Levi jeans and long sleeved Butterfly burn out t-shirt with my standby Steve Madden gold gladiator heels.
ime as Lisa and our big table was set up and ready for 15.
We hoped that we'd get a good turnout, but had no clue who was going to show up. Soon Kathy arrived, camera in hand! Seriously she should be the official photographer of BuffMother! She's great at taking pictures and always up for the task!
Traci and her DH showed up soon followed by Anne T. and Cory the owner of Complete Nutrition. He surprised me as much younger than I expected. Later I found out that he was 34 just like ME! Later Black, MUSCL E MOMMA Deb showed up and was totally giddy when I told her I thought she should have a glass of wine with us. In addition to the wine we let her indulge in a delicious piece of CHEESE cake!!! YUM!
You should have seen her cheeky smile!!!
We ate up big time…lots of great steaks! And a couple restaurant brewed light beers along with a glass of Merlot for me. Cory surprised us all by stealthfully grabbing the bill… HOW AWESOME was that?! Thanks Cory! We were all very thankful for that!
The night was not over yet, Brenda was still on her way and finally made it when just Lisa, Kathy and I were left. She was exhausted from all the prep but still SPUNKY! When she got to the restaurant it was raining so she looked like a leopard. POOR Dear! Her tanner was a bit messed up but, we assured her that it was fixable prior to show time in the morning. She got some final tips from her trainer, Lisa and we all HUGGED in excitement for her first contest the next morning.
Saturday morning arrived very quickly and I headed out to Council Bluffs just about 8am. I wore a long black shirt with black leggings and black flats to be comfy and keep from getting BLACK from the competition tanner (I knew I'd be hugging them). I ran back stage to wish Deb and Brenda good luck then found Deb's Scott in the audience. Deb and Brenda totally rocked the stage! I was so proud of them both and couldn't imagine either of them placing anything less than in the top 3 of their divisions.
The morning show for them was complete rather early, at about 10 am. I was so glad that I had time to BREATH in between the contest and my Complete Nutrition store promo event.
