Public Works receives grant for ADA-accessible viewing platform, picnic shelter at Wells Overlook Park
Douglas County Public Works was recently awarded a federal grant to help with the cost of constructing an ADA-accessible viewing platform with shelter and an ADA-accessible picnic shelter at Wells Overlook Park, which is a few miles south of Lawrence along N1000 Road.
The Land & Water Conservation Fund grant will reimburse 50 percent of the eligible expenses, up to $44,790, and it is administered by the Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks & Tourism. County Commissioners approved the project agreement during their Jan. 15 meeting.
The project includes:
An ADA-accessible viewing platform with associated shelter to be located on the northern end of the park.
An ADA-accessible picnic shelter to be located on the southern end of the parking lot.
Removal of about one acre of volunteer trees to open up sight lines.
Planting and establishing native prairie vegetation in the areas of cleared trees.
Panoramic panels at the viewing platform depicting historical, cultural and ecological items of interest that can be viewed from the platform.
Douglas County Public Works will perform the site grading, tree removal, asphalt paving and concrete work. They will be working with students in the KU School of Architecture and Design's Dirt Works Studio, who will be designing and constructing the viewing platform and associated shelter and the picnic shelter. Director of Dirt Works Studio is Architect Chad Kraus, an associate professor.
The viewing platform with shelter will be located at the northern curve of the park's access road and is expected to be finished by the end of May. The picnic shelter will be located just south of the parking area and is expected to be finished by the end of December.
The effort was spearheaded by Ken Lassman, whose family donated the property for Wells Overlook. Lassman is working with Douglas County Heritage Coordinator Jan Shupert-Arick on developing panoramic panels for the viewing platform. Bob Mikesic, of Independence, Inc., and Ray Petty, of Great Plains ADA Center, assisted in plan development and are strong advocates for the improvements.
Cost of the project is estimated to be about $103,000, and work is expected to begin this month with tree removal. The entire project which includes planting and establishing native prairie vegetation will take about three years.

Jeff Bridges' Crazy Year
Actor Jeff Bridges has been acting all his life, building a résumé of starring roles in films like The Big Lebowski, Seabiscuit, The Contender and Iron Man. Now, 40 years into his Hollywood career, he's hit a high note with his performance as rundown country-western star Bad Blake in Crazy Heart. The role earned him his first Golden Globe® and a spot on the Oscar® nominee shortlist.
Despite the accolades, Jeff says he passed on the role of Bad Blake when he first read the script. "It didn't have any music attached to it, and without the right music, that movie wouldn't be half the movie it turned out to be," he says. "Then I ran into my dear friend [producer and composer] T-Bone Burnett about a year later, and he asked me about it and I said: 'Why? Are you interested in doing Crazy Heart? And he said, 'Well, I'll do it if you do it.' And then we were off and running."
Jeff does all his own singing in the film, including the vocals for the "The Weary Kind," which won the Golden Globe for Best Original Song. "[I've been singing] ever since I was a kid," he says. "The real birth of the music for this movie goes back 30 years to Heaven's Gate, where I first met T-Bone and Stephen Bruton. Kris Kristofferson, the star of Heaven's Gate, brought all of his musical buddies on board on that show, and we used to play for six months while making the movie. We'd play day and night with those guys, so that's where it all started for this."

Not since the heyday of Jimmy Guiffre has there been a clarinet player whose redefined the instrument's role in jazz like Israel's Anat Cohen.
Cohen just released a pair of works that delve deep into her love for Brazilian music. One is a gorgeous tribute to the late Bossa Nova composer Moacir Santos called Outra Coisa: The Music of Moacir Santos with Marcello Goncalves on seven-string guitar and mandolin.
The other LP, Rosa Dos Ventos, finds her in collaboration with the amazing Trio Brasileiro, comprised of percussionist Alexadre Lora, his brother Douglas on seven-string guitar and Dudu Maia playing a special 10-string bandolin and crafting a distinctive blend of Rio-born Choro music and multi-culture jazz in a way that sounds like nothing else out there.
Cohen and Trio Brasileiro will be celebrating the release of Rosa Dos Ventos with a two-night stand at the Jazz Standard on May 16 and May 17, where they will be ringing in an early summer with their otherworldly swirl unlike anything you've ever heard before.

Get special attention in the pool! This clinic is a great way to learn the basics of swimming and improve your individual technique. Beginners are welcome.


Jetta Reynolds, a winner on TV's "The Price Is Right" program and a volunteer at Somerset Choice Antiques, encourages the public to "come on down" to the shop Princess Anne, where, she said, "the price is right." Volunteers Kristin Keeler, right, and shop manager Sharon Upton, seated, hold samples of the featured inventory.
Retired Wicomico County educator Jetta Reynolds really knows what it's like to be surrounded with bling and the thrill of getting a treasure, because she won a car on the show in 1986.
Now she's volunteering at the shop on Somerset Avenue to raise money to support the upkeep of the historic Teackle Mansion in town.
In the former Henry Henderson Texaco station that opened in 1957, and closed years ago, a team of volunteers work six days a week to support the Somerset County Historical Society's efforts to preserve Teackle mansion, (built in 1801) just a few blocks.
And it takes money, and a lot of it, to keep the Somerset County and town landmark going.
In addition to the shop contribution, Upton said the mansion itself is evolving to help defray expenses. "We say 'the mansion needs to get a job' so that it can generate income, too. Right now were are moving into renting the mansion for social and civic events," she said.
To develop and increase foot traffic, Upton strives to acquire a diverse inventory, from almost $1,000 handmade rugs, to jewelry, kitchen ware, vintage clothing, books and glassware. And "The Price Is Right" and Upton sees to it the stuff sells or goes.
According to Upton, Linda Alder is credited with starting the shop project.
"Years ago, Kay and Tom Bennett started the gift shop in a tiny room at the mansion with about 20 items," said Alder, who has volunteered the past nine years, and I was helping them.
"Charlotte Sharf, who owned Barefoot Baby on the main street, invited us to join her in her shop for more exposure. She has always supported Teackle Mansion projects," Alder said.
Nine moves later, the group was offered space in the former service station by owner Cathy Washburn, director of Main Street. Washburn got rid of the weeds growing inside, put on a new roof and restored it. She let the group operate at the site rent-free.
Linda Bohan said she has volunteered the past eight years because she's retired from the health care field and loves antiques. She is the group's "linen lady," a specialist in the restoration and cleaning of vintage linens and laces.
Some of the volunteers at Somerset Choice Antiques in Princess Anne show some of the diverse inventory. From left to right, Dawn Neville, Lorraine Henry, Linda Bohan, Tom Smith with clock, Anthony Dalli Cartillo, Sharon Upton, shop manager, and Linda Alder.
Dawn Neville, a retired Wicomico County educator for 35 years, has volunteered the past four years.
The shop, which started out as Somerset Antiques, Gifts and Books, prides itself on a friendly staff and neat inventory.
Because there is no phone at Teackle Mansion, the staff fields calls relating to town and local history and even genealogy.
"One lady was able to get in the DAR because of information she got from locals, and writer's call here too, wanting research information," Henry said.
"The Society doesn't have a genealogy research data base, and it doesn't have a resource library or staff, so we try to make connections for people needing information, part of our outreach mission," Upton said.
"It's hard to believe, but we've been around for nine years and I still hear people tell us that they didn't know we were here," Upton said.
Exactly what is the top seller at the shop with its eclectic inventory is difficult to determine, Upton said. "We have decoys, nautical art prints, World War II artifacts, furniture, books, glassware and brass things so it's hard to pinpoint one thing. I'd say 90 percent of our inventory is on consignment and 10 percent is donated to the Society," Upton explained. Many of our 200 consignors are from Wicomico and Worcester counties and the lower counties of Delaware. I had to become very particular about items we take, from the Elvis bobblehead to art glass. You have to items that appeal to a lot of people, and that means traditional antiques, linens, vintage items, fun items, as well as kitsch things too. Architectural antiques — shutters, doors, windows, and repurposed items are big seller. We even sold a mortician's folding 'cooling table or bed'. A local guy consigned it and it was here three years.
"We thought it was a folding traveling doctor's examination bed until a funeral director from Indiana was in the shop and said, 'Girl's, I've got bad news for you, this is a cooling bed for cadavers,' " Neville said.
The volunteers are also shoppers.
Alder collects small or tiny original art landscapes. For Upton, her field of interest is collecting small vintage globes and period document boxes.
Bohan collects sterling silver, and vintage lines and laces.
Henry specializes in signed pieces of costume jewelry.
For Smith, it's glassware, especially crystal items. Dalli Cartillo, a former country club comptroller, it's about adding to his 50-clock collection. "I love volunteering here. Meeting people and learning about collectibles," he said.
Now the shop itself needs a boost in income. Last week, just 20 minutes after Washburn signed the deed giving the building to the Society, the large plate glass window, part of the shop's northern wall, crashed into the parking lot. To get it fixed is $1,000.
Somerset Choice Antiques is open Monday through Saturday 10:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.
The shop will welcome visitors during the Princess Anne Historic House Tour, Saturday, Dec. 2, from 10:30 to 5.

But anyway, even if that happens soon, in the near future or never, I have a peace of mind that I know where I'll end up anyway.

After a nummy southwestern lunch and glass of local Arizona wine, we got back into the car and thanks to the informative waitress at Crillo Latin Kitchen we decided to take the more scenic route that is relatively unvisited. Highway 89 North through Sunset Crater Volcano with a couple stops along the way and entering at the East Gate of the Grand Canyon. It was the longest route but worth the drive for the stunning landscape and views.
We got this map at a hiking shop and by taking Route 89 we were able to cruise through some amazing parks!
I am always amazed by the incredible diversity of landscape in Arizona. It wasn't until I started exploring past Tucson, that I discovered that Arizona has an amazing amount of variation in topography, flora and fauna and sights ranging from the saguaros to the tall ponderosa pines, canyons, no man's land, red rocks and the painted desert. Landscape that never ceases to inspire the imagination.
As we drove out of Flagstaff and headed north, we passed through some of the tallest peaks in Arizona. Humpreys Peak is 12,637 feet which is part of the Kachina Peaks Wilderness in the Coconino National Forest, about 11 miles (17.7 km) north of Flagstaff, Arizona.
The landscape along the drive is laden in pines and the air is fresh and fragrant.
I wished we could get out and hike but we had a least another four hours of our journey ahead thus there was only time for a brief photo stop. As you continue along Highway 89, there are signs leading to the entrance of the Sunset Crater National Park, the site of an ancient volcano that erupted roughly 900 years ago leaving a black lava field behind.
As you enter the park, the first thing you see is the Lava Flow. It is enormous, black and barren save for the brilliant yellow aspen trees that have sprung up in its fertile path.
"Roughly 900 years ago, the eruption of Sunset Crater Volcano reshaped the landscape and forever changed the lives of those living nearby. People and wildlife were forced to flee, and the vegetation was burned away. Today, the lava flows and cinders still look as fresh and rugged as the day they formed, but among the geologic features you can find sights of life returning to the once scorched earth".
There is a short path called the Lava Flow Trails that winds through the lava flows and cinder fields at the base of Sunset Crater Volcano. It was fun to explore this harsh yet beautiful landscape. I was surprised by how sharp the lava is! You would not want to slip and fall within the field.
There is not much that remains of Sunset Crater as the entire cone blasted off when the volcano erupted 900 years ago. I tried to get some pictures but the sun was right behind it so none of them turned out. If you are curious, you can click here on the Sunset Crater Volcano website to see how it looks today. The landscape surrounding the volcano however is quite unusual. Here is the view looking north towards the Painted Desert.
Of course my daughter Sophia was thrilled to see the gorgeous pastel-hued Painted Desert off in the distance. It was hard to capture its beautiful pink colored palette but these photos should give you an idea.
We got back into the car and drove a little further through the park to reach the Wupatki Pueblo, an ancient southwestern civilization that lived in this region of scarce water and climate extremes during the 1100s. The eruption of the volcano forced the Wupatkis to abandon their land that they had been cultivating for over 400 years. Today, all the remains are the ruins of a multi-level dwelling.
This ruin is one of the most impressive masses of aboriginal masonry. It is visible for many miles, and from a distance resembles an old castle as it looms above the plain. Despite exposure to the elements for 800 years, it stands tribute to the Puebloan ancestors who managed to farm here during the 1100s.
As you leave the ruins, you realize you are pretty much in the middle of no where and wonder how on earth an ancient population of people could ever live in such a remote, barren place. It is amazing!
The views leaving the park are fascinating and we only passed one car the entire hour drive before we got back on Highway 64, the main road taking us to the Grand Canyon.
P.S. Don't worry…I'm not driving! Just snapping shots from the passenger seat.
The landscape was surreal as we continued our drive north. Unfortunately we couldn't stop for photos as it was getting late and we wanted to reach the Grand Canyon before dark. The East Entrance is way at the other end of where we were staying in neighboring Tusayan, a strange pell mell of hotels, mom and pop restaurants and junk. Yet, we found it was very worthwhile to enter at the East End otherwise we probably never would have seen it the next day touring the Grand Canyon.
The kids were starting to get restless and then finally we arrived!
We stopped to catch our first glimpse of the magic…..here is a little teaser to get you to come back and see my next post!
Wonderful post and photos! Reminded me our trip Phoenix-Sedona-Grand Canyon-Lake Powell-Bryce Canyon-Zion National park-Las Vegas.
I did the Zion and Bryce Canyon trip when I was pregnant with my son about 11 years ago. When we were doing the Grand Canyon trip I realized how close this area is and thought it would be cool to do the exact trip you did. Next time!
Thanks Sue! I would love to go back and do the hike down into the canyon and stay over night. Not with the kids though! It is pretty steep going down (I only did an hour hike down).
You're welcome! Glad you enjoyed and that sounds like a fun road trip!
Thanks! It was a fun trip! Now we are covered in snow here and a month early!!!
I've been there several times. Breathtaking place. Nicely done post!
Yeah! Hope all is well LuAnn!

What is the release date for BK8
What is the release date for BK8?
The much anticipated BK8 release date is still a mystery to the public. However, there are many speculations and rumors as to when this exciting new game will be available. Some say that it may come out in late 2017, while others believe that early 2018 is more likely.
There has been no confirmation from the developers or publishers of the game as to an exact release date, but fans are eagerly waiting for any news or clues about when they can get their hands on this new blockbuster title. BK8 looks set to revive the gaming industry with its innovative features and stunning graphics – so it is no surprise that people are so keen to find out more about it!
In the meantime, players can keep busy playing the previous versions of this popular game series. Or they could try out some of the other fantastic games that are currently available on the market. Who knows – by the time BK8 does finally come out, players may have already become experts at some of its new features!
What platforms will BK8 be available on?
BK8 will be available on the PC, Mac, iOS and Android platforms. The app is designed to work well on all of these devices, with a smooth and intuitive user interface. You can use the same account on any device, making it easy to switch between them.
The PC version of BK8 is a downloadable program that you can install on your computer. It has all the features of the other versions, and can be used to play online or offline. The Mac version is a web-based application that runs in your browser - there's no installation required and it works on any Mac computer.
The iOS version of BK8 is a standalone app that you can download from the App Store. It requires iOS 9 or later and is compatible with iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch devices. The Android version also requires Android 4.4 or later and is compatible with most Android smartphones and tablets.
What new features can players expect in BK8?
The much-awaited eighth installment of the popular "Battle Royale" video game, "BK8", is set to be released any day now. The game has already garnered a large following even before its release, with millions of people around the world waiting to get their hands on it.
Given its immense popularity, it's not surprising that there is a lot of anticipation and speculation surrounding the new features that "BK8" will offer. Here's a look at some of the most anticipated new features of the game:
A revised map - The new map in "BK8" is allegedly twice the size of the previous map, offering players more varied and intense gameplay. There are rumors that there will be different kinds of landscapes and areas for players to explore, as well as new vehicles and weapons to help them survive in the game.
New vehicles - Along with the new map, there are also supposedly going to be new vehicles added to the game. These include ATVs, trucks, boats, and helicopters. Players will now be able to explore different parts of the map more easily and reach destinations faster.
New weapons - Another eagerly awaited addition are new weapons for players to use in the game. These are said to include guns such as a sniper rifle, an assault rifle, and a submachine gun. With so many new items available, players will have plenty of options for taking on their opponents.
Improved graphics - One of the main complaints about earlier versions of "Battle Royale" was that they had lackluster graphics. However, this is rumored not to be an issue with "BK8". It is said that the graphics have been greatly improved, making for a more immersive gaming experience for players.
5.Leaderboards- This is another much-requested feature that is finally being added into "BK8". Players will now be able to see how they rank against others in terms of kills, distance traveled, and other statistics. This should provide an extra level of competition and excitement for players as they aim to achieve higher rankings on the leaderboard.
These are just some of the features that players can expect in "BK8". With so much excitement building up for its release, it is sure to be one of the most popular games out there once it hits shelves.
Can I pre-order BK8?
There's no word as to whether or not you can pre-order BK8 just yet, though it's safe to say that if you want one, you should start saving now. The original BK1 totaled almost $1500 on release, so there's no doubt that the follow-up will be even more expensive.
There are several reasons why the BK8 is likely to be so expensive. First of all, the bike is made from carbon fiber, which is a high-end material that is both strong and lightweight. Additionally, it features a Shimano Alfine Di2 11 speed gear system, hydraulic disk brakes and a top tube battery mount. All of these features add to the cost of the bike.
So, if you're keen to get your hands on a BK8 as soon as it's released, start saving now! You can expect to pay somewhere in the region of $2000 for this premium electric bike.
When will BK8 be available to download?
BK8, the next version of the popular free and open source word processing software LibreOffice, is scheduled to be released in late September or early October of this year.
This new version includes a number of new and improved features, including:
A redesigned user interface that is more modern and user-friendly
Compatibility with Microsoft Office file formats
Improved performance and stability
A wider range of supported languages
The release of BK8 represents a significant step forward for the LibreOffice project, which is under constant development by a global community of volunteers. The latest version of LibreOffice is already being used by millions of people around the world, and BK8 is expected to further increase its popularity.

Rabat - Morocco's new appointed Head of Government Saad Eddine Othmani told reporters on Saturday that King Mohammed VI's decision for him to replace Abelilah Benkirane took him by surprise.
Rabat – Morocco's new appointed Head of Government Saad Eddine Othmani told reporters on Saturday that King Mohammed VI's decision for him to replace Abelilah Benkirane took him by surprise.
"First of all, I have to express my feeling about the royal's confidence and at the same time, I see that is a heavy burden amid a precise political moment [in Morocco]," said the new Head of Government.
Regarding his negotiations with other party leaders to form the government coalition, Othmani said that he currently has "no vision and no strategy," noting that he would convene with his partisan colleagues to discuss the issue.
King Mohammed VI received Othmani in the Royal Palace in Casablanca on Friday to appoint him new Head of Government, following the dismissal of Benkirane dismissal for his inability to break the deadlock that has plagued the government for the past five months.
King Mohammed VI's decision to appoint a new Head of Government from the PJD was motivated, among all the other options granted to him by the letter and spirit of the constitution, by a desire to consolidate the democratic process and to preserve the achievements made by Morocco in this area, according to a communique released by the Royal cabinet on Wednesday.


It's called 'paint grade' for a reason. The pieces are only viable if you can get all the labor out, otherwise milling & gluing drives the cost thru the roof. Unless you're dealing with mill output the automation is cost prohibitive.

There seem to be a lot of people having trouble installing Ruby 1.9.2-p290 under Lion, based off of the many blog posts about changing the C compiler and using MacPorts, Homebrew, and/or RVM to install a bunch of dependencies. Below is the process that I used to install it. I'm not quite sure why RVM automatically used /usr/bin/gcc-4.2 to compile everything on my computer, and why some people need to set some environment flags to change their default compiler to this. If you are getting compiler errors, you may need to run export CC=gcc-4.2 before the rvm install step.
First, we're going to install a newer version of the readline library. I used Homebrew for this, but you should be able to use rvm pkg install readline as well.
Once that is finished, take note of where Homebrew said it installed readline. For me, that path was /usr/local/Cellar/readline/6.2.1 (minus the lib directory).
Next, we're going to update RVM to make sure there aren't any issues with Lion and Ruby 1.9.2 that haven't been solved in the latest release.
The last step in this process is to install Ruby 1.9.2-p290. If you used RVM to install readline, your path for readline should be changed to $rvm_path/usr. If you are using MacPorts, your readline path should be changed to /opt/local.

Vegan Fort Greene Hair Pomade 2 oz.
* Avocado oil, *Kukui nut oil, *Shea butter,*Argan oil, *Candellila and or Carnuba wax, *Juniper, *Rosemary, *Bergamot, * Lavender essential oil and **vitamin e.
Fort Greene Smells fresh and alive! Think of it as a cologne version of mechanic's grease (it does not smell like an auto-body shop). It has an aroma that is pointed, invigorating and masculine without being butch. It is NOT "masculine" in the way that traditional men's fragrances are. It doesn't smell like a fragrance: it's more like a delightful bonus breath for some lucky bystander when you happen to pass wearing it. With its distinct botanical notes of pine (thankyouverymuch Rosemary) and the added character of Juniper, Fort Greene carries off a breezy balance with the dulcet additions of floral lavender and bergamot.
Why Name a scent Fort Greene?
The beauty of our fragrances is that they stimulate the olfactory sense in a completely different way from your everyday cologne, perfume or scented lotion. Whether she knew it or not, when Mckenzie originally formulated our core scents, what she was doing was redefining the relationships between fragrance and wearer, fragrance and smeller, and probably wearer and smeller as a result! She was blazing trails in the cliche-fraught fragrance industry.
Our version of Fort Greene is a unisex blend of invigorating herbs and spices meant to regenerate, soothe and inspire. It is scented with juniper and rosemary, two incredibly uplifting herbs, and is balanced by lavender and bergamot to help create a beautifully balanced botanical blend of spiced, floral greens. The idea behind this scent was to reflect Fort Greene's rich and varied musical history. In our studio we listen to a well-balanced variety of hip hop, rock n' roll and classics to get our inspiration going: and so here's that inspiration, all bottled up, tin-sealed and ready for you to experience: Fort Greene.


-0.75-percentage point adjustment for cuts under the Affordable Care Act (ACA).
CMS wants to reduce the payment rate for hospital outpatient clinic visits provided at off-campus provider-based departments to 40% of the OPPS rate. The clinic visit is currently the most common service billed under the OPPS. The proposed rule would also cut payments to currently grandfathered sites for certain clinic visit services to address concerns about the trend where more services are shifting away from doctor offices and into hospital outpatient departments.
3. Hospital Outpatient Quality Reporting Program.
CMS is proposing to remove one measure from the Hospital Quality Reporting Program beginning with the 2020 payment determination and remove nine other measures beginning with the 2021 payment determination. "The proposals to remove these measures are consistent with the CMS' commitment to using a smaller set of more meaningful measures and focusing on patient-centered outcomes measures, while taking into account opportunities to reduce paperwork and reporting burden on providers," the agency noted in the fact sheet for the proposed rule.
CMS wants to modify the Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (HCAHPS) patient experience of care survey measure by removing three recently revised pain communication questions. The change stems from concerns that providers may feel unduly pressured by patients seeking opioid-based therapies who can, in turn, report the physician neglected their preferences, as well as an intent to avoid any potential unintended consequences of possible opioid overprescribing. In addition, the President's Commission on Combating Drug Addiction and the Opioid Crisis has recommended that CMS review its payment policies for certain drugs that function as a supply: specifically, non-opioid pain management treatments.


You can't ignore the signs much longer - content marketing is an essential key to your overall health club marketing strategy. If you've already included it in your marketing mix, you're ahead of the game! And if you're just hopping on the bandwagon, there's never a better time to get started with a strategic content marketing plan than today.
Before you do, though, we think it's important to have a full understanding of content marketing – and that means understanding why content marketing works for health clubs. But let's first define what content marketing actually is.
Content marketing is a comprehensive marketing strategy built on using valuable and relevant content to attract prospects and ultimately drive customer conversion. Content can be created in various forms including a blog post, email, eBook, video, podcast, webinar, and more. Content marketing is really a long-term strategy that requires the consistent creation of content that educates, nurtures and builds trusts with prospects.
Now let's dig into why content marketing works for health clubs.
Your prospects are out there searching for health and fitness information. Living a healthy lifestyle is important to them and they are constantly looking for help with their fitness journey – whether they are trying to lose weight, build muscle, maintain a healthy and fitness-centered family, and more. As a health club, you are in a prime position to educate and help prospects achieve their goals.
There is a huge need within prospects for constant motivation because, as we know as health professionals, becoming healthy is a complete lifestyle change. Joining a gym or health club is a great start, but to keep up the momentum, it requires constant motivation, guidance and inspiration. Creating and sharing content is a perfect way to offer this to your prospects and members – by either motivating them to join or to keep them coming back and using your health club week after week after week.
Content offers the opportunity for your health club to highlight your classes, personal training opportunities, amenities, additional services, and more. Other ideas to elevate content include featuring personal trainers to bring attention to programs and staff, or educate members about all of the group fitness programs to get prospects into the gym and connected with your health club.
Lastly, content marketing increases your visibility online when done correctly and greatly improves your SEO (search engine optimization), provides shareable links to expand your reach exponentially, and fills your social media channels with educational and motivational content. All of this establishes you and your website as experts in the eyes of the search bots - which will continue to place you towards the top of search engine rankings when someone is searching for a gym.
How has content marketing worked for your health club? Or if you're just starting out in the content marketing world, what are you most looking forward to accomplishing through a strategic plan?

Did I do something wrong in the install?
I have just checked some languages and was able to see the translated version. You have configured it correctly.
Not always, but I still get the error occasionally. Try clicking through the the translated pages quickly.
A couple more question, hope you don't mind. This is quite new for me.
First question: Is there a reason why I get the error and how can I avoid this? It would be a shame to have people not be able to reach the translated pages, Especially when indexed by Google.
Second question: Not all the URL's are translated. Does this take time or can I speed up the process?
Third question: When you are on a deeper page and click on a different language, you get redirected to the same page but in a different language. A lot of times this results in a broken page, because of the translated URL's. How can I fix this?
Fourth question: what if I change copy in the primary language? Do I have to 'purge' something or does this go automatically?
Sorry for all the questions . Hope you can help me out!
1. If your website doesn't respond to the requests of our servers in a timely manner you may see that error. Make sure that you whitelist our IP address and make sure that your website responds in less than 5 seconds. You may use pingdom to check your website load/response times.
3. You need to use the latest version of the language selector. Please let me know more details about your platform, so I can send a correct version for you.
4. It is done automatically. No action is needed on your side.
1. I'll make sure I'll speed up the website. i have CDN running and try to optimize everything. Still, do you ave tips speeding up a Joomla website?
3. I'm running Joomla 3.3.3 and Gtranslate module version: 3.0.x.32. Is this the latest version?
A couple more questions, hope you don't mind. I'd like to have everything run as smoothly as possible.
5. Sometimes instead if the Nginx error, I get a white page. Why is this happening?
6. Sometimes a page looks completely translated, but some elements aren't. Will these eventually be translated or do I have to do this manually?
7. Can I still for example show different content to different countries. For instance affiliate feeds for specific countries?
1. You may use cloudflare.
3. I have sent the latest version to your email address.
5. It may happen for the same reason you get the nginx error.
6. Everything will be translated over time beginning from the most popular content. You may try to refresh a page a couple of times and it will be completely translated. If it is not, please write us, so we can investigate and find out a reason and solve it.
7. Sure. You may use $_SERVER['HTTP_X_GT_LANG'] variable in PHP to detect selected language and make modifications based on that variable. To detect the country you will need to use GeoIP solution. For example cloudflare provides free solution.
For now I stopped using Gtranslate, because I was only getting error messages. One last question, if I would use the Pro version, would I also get the errors? Or won't I get them because the service would be running on my own server.
It doesn't seem to be network issue, it is more like a performance issue and in that case it will be almost the same with Pro version.

By BILL BARROW, AP
BUENA VISTA, Ga. (AP) — Across the grounds of a south Georgia courthouse, scores of masked and socially distanced voters bowed their heads in prayer for the 260,000-plus Americans who have died from the coronavirus.
A day earlier, Vice President Mike Pence campaigned with Warnock's opponent, Sen. Kelly Loeffler, and her fellow Republican senator, David Perdue. But in heavily Republican north Georgia, there were only scant mentions of the public health calamity that helped lead to President Donald Trump's defeat: aid programs that passed Congress months ago and a vaccine that is still weeks — or months — from mass distribution.
"Before the end of this year, we're going to see 40 million vaccines all across America," Pence predicted, attributing the possibility to "the leadership of President Donald Trump." His crowd -- distanced only in certain seating sections and many not wearing masks -- roared as the vice president added a kicker: "We're in the miracle business."
It's two starkly different worlds on display in Georgia, where the national political spotlight is shining on twin Senate runoffs that will determine which party controls the chamber at the outset of President-elect Joe Biden's Democratic administration. Republicans need one more seat for a majority; Democrats need a sweep on Jan. 5.
For Republicans, the pandemic is secondary in a runoff blitz defined by dire warnings about what it would mean if Warnock defeats Loeffler and Perdue falls to Democratic challenger Jon Ossoff. Democrats, meanwhile, are more than eager to discuss COVID-19 and its economic fallout. The messaging differences bleed over to the two sides' public health protocols, as well. The approaches largely track the fall presidential campaign, when Trump wanted to talk about anything but the virus, while Biden centered his pitch around Trump's handling of it.
Florida Sen. Rick Scott drew a similar throng to a restaurant in suburban Cumming for an event with both Georgia incumbents. Days later, Scott said he had tested positive for COVID-19 and had been exposed the same day he traveled to Georgia. Loeffler later announced her own positive test, as well, though consecutive negative tests followed in subsequent days, leading her to end a brief quarantine.
Senate ethics officials and the Justice Department have found no legal wrongdoing in either Georgia senator's financial activity.
Trump's foot-dragging on an orderly transition, Ossoff said in an interview, has hampered Biden's ability to organize a governmentwide coronavirus response.

Because we were only spending one night, I knew I wanted a room on the caldera in Oia since that's where you want to be for the sunset. This really helped to focus the hotel search. We splurged on a luxurious room with a caldera view, fabulous breakfast and transfer from the port at 1864 The Sea Captain's House. And Takis, our host, oriented us to the neighborhood and gave us great recommendations for lunch and dinner.
A short walk from the hotel is Thalami for lunch – definitely order the eggplant and the intensely sweet Santorini tomatoes. The view, the food, the friendly service…there was nothing not to like about Thalami. This is also a great time to try some Visanto, a sweet fortified wine or the Assyrtico, which is like a pino grigio only better. Perfect introduction to Santorini.
After lunch we went strolling in the hot mid-day sun to shop for provisions, aka wine and snacks, and window shop for mostly everything else. We opted for the local grocer to buy a couple bottles of wine, basing our selections on what we'd tried at Thalami. Prices for clothing, jewelry and the such seem inflated on Santorini, at least in Oia. One exception is the well-regarded Atlantis Books, an awesome expat bookstore. The staff is friendly; I asked the guy working there to autograph the book I bought and he happily obliged.
Time to freshen up and have another glass of wine before heading to the Kastro to watch the sunset. Don't worry, there will be crowds of people heading there, so just follow along. It's actually fun to be a part of the crowd and this Santorini nightly ritual. More than okay to be a tourist.
And there you go. Sunset landscape perfection!
Earlier in the day we popped in to reserve a table at Floga for dinner. After sunset we dined by the moonlit sea and the sparkling lights of Santorini. Greeks eat late. You'll get used to it. The food at Floga is very good especially the tomato-keftedes, delicious deep-fried patties of Santorini tomatoes, onions, flour and whatever special ingredient each restaurant adds to their unique recipe.

Kesha has lost a legal battle against Sony and Dr. Luke
By Daniel Contreras / Thursday, 07 Apr 2016 09:30AM
Pop singer Kesha Rose Sebert lost a legal battle against producer Dr. Luke and Sony Music on Wednesday when a New York judge denied her appeal, a month after the singer accused the guitarist and record producer of raping her in 2014.
On March, the "Tik Tok" singer appealed New York Supreme Court Justice Shirley Kornreich's ruling that obligated the singer to maintain her six-album contract with Sony. Previously, Kesha had filed a sexual assault lawsuit against Dr. Luke and requested breaking ties with the label, according to Reuters.
Justice Kornreich said in February that Kesha can continue to work with Sony and other producers without the participation of Dr. Luke. By contrast, the plaintiff said the court's decision was a form of slavery.

Kesha claimed last month that the producer had drugged, raped and emotionally abused her. On the other hand, Kornreich said Wednesday that the singer's accusations did not qualify as "valid causes of action" to break a contract under New York law, said Reuters.
The singer said on Monday via her verified Instagram account that she had been offered "freedom" from her contract with Sony if she decided to lie.
"I would have to APOLOGIZE publicly and say that I never got raped. THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS behind closed doors. I will not take back the TRUTH. I would rather let the truth ruin my career than lie for a monster ever again," Kesha wrote on Instagram.
Supporters have created a #FreeKesha campaign on social media, collecting more than 400,000 signatures on petitions requesting Sony to nullify the contract. On the other hand, Kesha has gained support from Taylor Swift, Adele, Lady Gaga, Kelly Clarkson, Miley Cyrus and Ariana Grande.
"Every rape is not a gender-motivated hate crime"
Kesha had alleged that she was the victim of a hate crime. However, the judge stated that although Luke's alleged actions were directed to Kesha, a female, her accusations did not say that Luke was motivated by gender when he apparently abused her.
The judge concluded saying that "every rape is not a gender-motivated hate crime". Kesha has filed a similar lawsuit against the producer and Sony in Los Angeles but it was postponed, said TMZ on Tuesday.

Managing drip takes an understanding of several elements – plant material watering needs, drip flow rates, soil capacity, and how to schedule throughout the year.
Drip Flow Rate --- Here's some drip info for you. The rate at which water comes out (flow rate) of drip depends on the product used but can range from .2 gallons per hour (gph) to 1 full gallon per hour. That rate is per each emitter (hole) in the tubing. [Note: 1000' of drip tubing may have 56 – 83 emitters.] Just hold on to that thought for a minute.
Soil --- Our lovely north Texas clay/loam soil is called Blackland Prairie soil. This silicate based soil has very tiny capillaries which means water has fewer spaces to move through in this soil, but it still moves in multiple directions (up, down, sideways …wherever there are capillaries). Translation, since this soil is so densely packed, water moves through it slowly and tends to remain for a long time (hours to days depending on surrounding plant material, slope, seasonal temperatures, sun vs. shade, etc.). Too much water and there is no room for oxygen, the soil becomes flooded.
Field Capacity Absorption --- Our clay soil can only absorb (infiltration rate) about ½ an inch of water in an hour. After that amount of water is absorbed into the top layer of soil, the soil is essentially full and any additional water we try to apply simply runs off, (like a glass that is full, it too can't hold any more water).
Drip Product --- Drip tubing is available from several manufacturers. It is also available with different head spacing – drip tubing is hollow flexible tubing with a hole (emitter) every 6", 12", 18" or 24" apart. Each "hole" actually has an emitter behind it inside the tubing and that emitter delivers a regulated drip at a regulated speed – that becomes the precipitation rate or gallons per hour (gph). Typically, the irrigator will determine the best drip product for your needs – we generally prefer 12" spacing with .6gph tubing – we found this drip to perform best in clay/loam (we sometimes suggest 18" spacing for slopes and parkways). Remember that 1000' length, at 12" spacing there are 83 emitters, 18" spacing has 56 emitters.
How Long to Run --- So, now we need to translate the gph into inches per hour. Suggested drip rate is .6 gph which delivers about ½" of water per hour. We can now figure out how long to run the drip. Drip applies the water evenly and slowly and fills the soil in approximately 15-40 minutes (depending on above mentioned conditions).
You'll need to make sure the drip runs correctly throughout the year to keep your plants healthy and foundation managed correctly. This means understanding scheduling to consider the seasonal conditions, etc.
Back to the frustrating math…running .6 gph drip for longer than a ½ hour will definitely cause run-off and simply waste water. Granted it is a slow application rate, but beyond 30 minutes is too much water to be absorbed by our soil in 1 giant run time. Breaking down the run time into 15-20 minute run times is the first part of managing drip. You now know how long to run a .6 gph drip station.
How Often to Run --- The second part of managing drip is how often to run it. This takes some understanding of how drip is supposed to work. Drip is supposed to keep the soil evenly moist. You don't want the drip to dry out because drip cannot "catch up" and re-saturate the soil after a dry-out period, the soil will need to be wetted from above (hose) then drip can maintain the moisture level through normal scheduling.
That said, the "how often" (# of days a week) becomes crucial to effectively keeping the soil moist. – Remember drip is exempt from most watering restrictions not only because it is a regulated slow application rate but also because it needs to run multiple times a week to work properly and effectively.
Usually, a daily dose of drip in the hot months will suffice to keep the soil moist and the drip effective (6 or 7 days a week watering). Then when our season changes, adjust how often drip runs during cooler temperatures. When temps are 70˚ or less (average daytime temps) run drip every other day (3-4 days a week). When temps are 50˚ or less, try every 3 days (2-4 days a week). These are suggestions and a great starting point.
Wrap-Up --- Drip is 90% efficient, but only as effective as the programming manages. Of course you'll have questions, you should. This information is, well, informative, but somewhat complex. Hopefully, this inspired you to go check your controller programming.

COYOTES ANNOUNCE SERIES OF INITIATIVES TO CELEBRATE HISPANIC HERITAGE MONTH


Over one hundred and thirty years ago, God ignited an overwhelming love for people of every race and tongue in the heart of a Canadian named A.B. Simpson. In those days, Simpson was pastor of a large and affluent church in Manhattan. In response to what God was doing in his own life, Simpson urged his congregants to reach out to the immigrants who were pouring into the city. He even went so far as to bring the poor and the downtrodden into his church. When he began to do this, many in the church were less than pleased.
So in a Sunday morning sermon in 1882, Simpson declared, "I am not interested in being a respectable Christian." He left the church and began a new venture in which his burning desire to serve all people could be satisfied. He left his church to start a school in which people would be trained to take the Good News of God's love wherever this news needed to be heard.
That school today is known as Nyack College.
Since its inception on the back of a Broadway stage in 1882, Nyack College has grown to become an institution of over 2,500 students pursuing a wide variety of graduate and undergraduate degrees on multiple campuses. At the heart of it all, is a burning commitment to bring the good news of God's love wherever this news needed to be heard.
A.B. Simpson described this commitment as taking "the whole gospel" to "the whole world." Today, as Nyack College serves students who represent "the whole world," the result is a diverse and vibrant community unlike any other in higher education.
