With a "K." Karabell, with a "K." Not a "C." It's not like Caroline, or Carolyn, or Care Bear, or Coffee, or Caramel, though it does rhyme with the latter. Play a "K" in Scrabble, and you'll earn more points than if you played its evil twin.
Now that I am no longer a Murphy, at least legally, I have developed a deep retrospective appreciation for simple names, or, more specifically, distinguishable consonant sounds. I like the name Karabell. It has a ring to it, as we Karabells like to say. And I have to admit that the sonorous quality of the name had an effect on my adoption of it. Coupled with its consistent ring, it is unique, and it also has bestowed on me some quality initials: AMK. Say it aloud. Or you can say it how Jacob does: A to the M to the K! It sounds good. Much better than ANM. Sorry, mom and dad, but it's true. The tongue can only move so quickly from the N to M, whereas the tongue position for the K naturally follows that of the M.
Well, hallelujah! Justice! Equality! Feminism! A big shout out to Jessie and Matt here, who remembered that I had been less than excited to be addressed as Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Karabell at a previous wedding. Jacob didn't mind one bit, and as far as I'm concerned, people can address us as this for another 15 months, just to even things out, whereupon we can then be referred to as Mr. Jacob and Mrs. Annie Karabell. To make things even better, Jacob should be Mr. and I should be Ms., eliminating the gender double-standard when it comes to formal naming conventions. Why? Well, I have a name, too. Yes, I have a name. I took on his last name, happily of course, but I still have a first name. In fact, now that I think about it more, I'm considering pressing for a change in social etiquette: If a woman takes the man's last name as her last name, the couple should henceforth be addressed as Mr. and Ms. HER FIRST NAME THEIR LAST NAME. That way, her name--and her existence as an independent human being--is primary, and is more important than the fact that she has committed herself to someone else for the rest of her life. The union of names represents a joining of families, a sentiment I appreciate, just so long as the woman's identity isn't subsumed as part of the man's and disappears forever.
Jacob and I have a pretty swell thing going here. We make decisions together, we clean together, we share dog duties. I don't belong to him. He doesn't belong to me. In fact, he didn't even have a preference about whether I became a Karabell or not. I took on his name because of its aesthetic value, its uniqueness--beneficial if I hope to continue writing, which I do--and for the sake of simplicity with regard to hypothetical future offspring. So my plea to you is this: Think anew about how you want to be addressed. And insist on it.
On another note, one of the many reasons I have failed to write consistently here is because I cannot decide what to write about, or rather, what not to write about. Is this an education blog? If so, is it a compendium of teaching techniques and tools, a narrative of what I do, or way to share my voice about education policy? Or maybe it's a let-me-experiment-with-long-form-journalism blog? A book review blog?
This week I finished listening to An Unquiet Mind by Kay Redfield Jamison. It's one of those books that is really worth listening to, mostly because the strain and cadence of her voice reveals so much more than the words on the page can.
I want to read Little Failure by Gary Shteyngart after listening to several interviews with him, especially the one by Michael Silverblatt on KCRW's Bookworm. Have you read it? If so, dish!
Ron Suskind, a writer I admire, wrote this article about his son's journey with autism last week in the New York Times. From there, I meandered to Hanna Rosin's piece in The Atlantic about her son's Asperger's diagnosis and the end of Asperger's as a distinct diagnosis. It's now encapsulated within the Autism Spectrum Disorders and is considered a high-functioning form of the disorder because those afflicted still have speech and sometimes high verbal abilities. That led me to The Atlantic's collection of responses to her article, when then led to me one mother's web site about her daughter's experience with autism. I'll post the links when I'm able to find them again.
Over the past week, my students have begun reading books in small groups called Literature Circles. They have had to make their own reading calendars, create their own vocabulary lists, and keep each other on track with their work. I am so impressed! It is working out much better than I thought it would, and they are generally much more engaged than they otherwise are. I made time to speak to them all (well, almost all) individually on Friday, and ALMOST EVERY SINGLE ONE (except two) said that he/she was enjoying the book. Moral of the story after week 1: Choice and ownership make a tremendous difference.
So I'd like your input ... what would you like to hear about?
(f) All of the above, all at the same time (this option most closely resembles the play-by-play of my mind, though, perhaps, this does not easy reading make).

How Puerto Rico Is Using Tourism To Rebuild After Hurricane Maria
Alexandra Talty Contributor
Inbound flight arrivals back to pre-Maria numbers
The people of Puerto Rico have shown great resiliency and unintentionally earned a PhD in economic recovery
Three months after Hurricane Maria struck Puerto Rico in 2017, the island declared itself open for tourism.
Under the leadership of the Puerto Rico Tourism Company, a governmental organization, they embarked on a campaign to encourage vacationers.
Three months after Hurricane Maria hit Puerto Rico, the island declared itself open for tourism, using vacation spend to fund economic redevelopment.
Discover Puerto Rico.
With over $80 billion in damages sustained, tourism was seen by experts as a way to quickly inject money into the economy. Other sectors like pharmaceuticals or agriculture would take months and years to rebound, and as the island wasn't receiving the federal assistance it needed, tourism was sure path to recovery.
And recover they did. Recent reports say that 90% of total hotel inventory is up and running, with over 4,000 restaurants and 186 attractions open.
Puerto Ricans want the world to know that the Pearl of the Antilles is open for business.
Initial challenges to the encouraging tourism
However, it wasn't easy to change the minds of many Americans after people's newsfeeds were flooded with photos of the island's destruction.
Brad Dean, CEO at Discover Puerto Rico, said, "people want to help and visitors want to come back but no one wants to put undue stress on the ecosystem."
Pointing out the tourism already accounted for 10% of the islands GDP, Dean felt that they were uniquely positioned to court tourism...in the right way.
Voluntourists were encouraged to rebuild areas like Aguadilla's Crash Break Beach.
The first hurdle was to let people know that yes, Puerto Rico was open. After inviting influencers like Brian Kelly to visit, they focused their efforts on an up-to-date information campaign that would let tourists know what to expect when they arrived. Their site offered daily updates on where electricity was, which regions were ready and key information like where cell phones worked.
Following the devastation of Hurricane Maria, Culebra's Flamenco Beach was closed for many months in order to rebuild. It is now welcoming tourists with open arms.
They also organized tours specific to rebuilding, encouraging voluntourism to dig out Camuy Cave Park or clean up Crash Boat Beach in Aguadilla. Elsewhere, the All-Star Island used the break from visitors to help rebuild areas like Culebra's Flamenco Beach that were already in need of a revamp.
It wasn't just tourists fueling the rebuilding efforts. Businesses like American Airlines and Skift hosted conferences on the island, encouraging their employees to take a few extra days to explore.
And by all accounts, their efforts have been successful. Inbound flight arrivals back to pre-Maria numbers , hitting 4,866 inbound flights this August, according to Discover Puerto Rico.
These efforts continue today, with the island's governor Ricardo Rossello recently visiting New York City last week to encourage tourism. The governor stated his interest in making using this momentum to make Puerto Rico even more of a destination; although the sector employs 77,000 people according to Discover Puerto Rico, inbound tourism numbers blanche when compared to other Caribbean islands.
La Perla neighborhood in San Juan is known for its colorful buildings.
In addition to rebuilding areas, Governor Rossello wants to develop coastal areas and capitalize on the island's already existing culture around festivals, as well as chinchorreo routes, or unofficial culinary tours. Recently there's been a spate small business owners setting up shop around the island in the hurricane's aftermath.
" The people of Puerto Rico have shown great resiliency and unintentionally earned a PhD in economic recovery ," said Dean. "They are writing the textbook..on how to use tourism to fuel economic recovery."

Sprint's just given us the heads up that the LG Viper 4G LTE, with its 4-inch NOVA display, Android 2.3 Gingerbread, 1.2 GHz dual-core processor, 5MP camera and NFC radio (along with Google Wallet) will be up for pre-order starting April 12. The Viper, which we got a dark look at back at CES in January, admittedly won't set any hardware records. But the price is right -- $99 on contract, with $50 mail-in rebate. Sweetening the deal is 50GB of cloud storage from Box. Sprint says full availability dates will be announced later this month.


After two seasons of living and playing in and around Burbank in the US state of California, Overwatch League teams will finally be moving to their respective cities next year. Players and coaches have told Kotaku that they've been grappling with planning for these moves for a while, particularly with respect to players' already gruelling practice schedules.
Overwatch League commissioner Nate Nanzer announced the plans today at SXSW in Austin, Texas. "Next season in 2020, all teams will be returning to their home markets, and all matches will be played in one of the 20 cities—or I guess 19 cities, because there are two LA teams—around the world," he said (via ESPN's Jacob Wolf). Half of each of the teams' games will be home games in their own cities, while the other half will be away games.
Still, this will be a major shake up, with an entire league moving from a single centralised city to a series of satellite cities across the world, including ones in the United States, Europe, South Korea, and China. On top of that, Overwatch League practice and play schedules have been no walk in the balmy Southern California park. Last season, multiple players dealt with burnout and other stress-induced health issues, while some teams stuck to daily practice schedules that lasted as long as 12 hours. This season, teams are playing fewer games, but we're only one month into the Overwatch League's second season, and it remains to be seen what sort of effect the reconfigured schedule will have.
During an Overwatch League media day last month, I talked to teams about the looming prospect of setting up shop in their respective cities and playing home and away games. Even prior to the announcement that this change would definitely happen in season three, most teams I spoke to seemed to already think it would happen around then, with some willing to discuss their nascent preparations.
Player burnout is a concern for Chung as well. He pointed out that a reduced game schedule can actually lead to more exhaustion if teams aren't careful, given that they can run a heavy scrimmage schedule six days a week without multiple games forcing them to taper things off. His team is trying to fight burnout by keeping a close eye on how players are vibing in their new team house and getting out for non-Overwatch activities like dinner and seeing movies.
Vancouver Titans, an expansion team that just joined the league as part of season two, is still acclimating to Los Angeles, but it won't be long before the all-Korean squad—made up of players from former Korean mega-team RunAway—has to make a running dive into the deep end of a brand new city all over again. Last month, assistant coach Harsha Bandi said he didn't have a "good answer" to my questions about an arena in Vancouver, but the team is excited about the prospect of playing in front of a hometown crowd.
With Overwatch League's plans out in the open, other concerns begin to emerge as well, such as unexpected trades. At the start of season two, for example, Boston Uprising main tank Young-jin "Gamsu" Noh was suddenly traded to Shanghai Dragons mere days before the games began. Players, seemingly, do not have much protection against these sorts of trades, and the adjustment to getting uprooted and put onto another team would be even harder once those teams are separated by miles of land and sea. Sure, trades are common in traditional sports, but in top-tier professional leagues players often get to stay in their home countries. Also, they're not generally teenagers.
On top of that, traditional sports tend to have players associations, giving players collective bargaining power to help ensure they're not being taken advantage of or forced into unreasonable situations. There's nothing like that in Overwatch League, though former Overwatch pro and coach Thomas "Morte" Kerbusch partnered with sports labour attorney Ellen Zavian to try and create one last year. So far, however, it hasn't panned out. When Kotaku reached out for an update on the ongoing effort last month, Zavian's reply was brief.

Q: WCF another best practice? Ok so I have built my WCF service and its functioning great! However, I am starting to implement it into our pre-existing piece of software now and I am instantly running into the question, do I only use the proxy generated code and get rid of the dll that I used initially? Or do I keep both, and make distinctions between the two very obvious?
What I mean by keeping distinctions is, having a ServerUser and a LocalUser property that represent the same user object. However, my LocalUser property would be filled via the dll that the app initally ran with, if the application service is unavailable.
My main reasoning for this thought pattern is that if I remove my dll, I have a single point of failure. If for some reason my ServiceHost is just not up and running, but the DB server is, I would want my users to still be able to do their job. The features that the new WCF implementation utilize are not dependant for employees to do their job. It is more of a convenience in what the WCF service provides. Also, building in this kind of logic to the Service would allow service modifications more readily available in a non IIS hosted environment.
Also, is there a way to build in logic on the service so that when I pull down the proxy code for the client that it just knows to access the DB manually if the ServiceHost is unavailable? If this was a possibility, I think about 90% of all my problems would disappear.
Thank you in advance!

A: From what you describe it sounds like keeping your existing DLL, i.e. direct access to the DB, would best suit your needs. Having a WCF service adds nothing if, when it fails, you'll just use the DLL anyway.
Ideally you would go with the WCF service completly and offer some kind of redundency to deal with any potenial service issues. Plus, using a service will mean you won't have to deal with any DLL upgrades/deployments.
But, from your question, it sounds like there would be some real issues to deal with should the service not be available, so just do with the DLL.
EDIT: Just read the last part of your question and I don't think that is possible. The proxy code for accessing services is generated when you add the reference to your project. The kind of "dynamic" information you're after would actually require a service.
EDIT: As a follow up to my comment below you could test this by creating a DLL and class, lets call it Class1. Then create a WCF service with a method that will return Class1. Create a client application and add a reference to the service. If you look at the proxy-generated code you should see (hopefully...I'm thinking of this as I type :)) that the method returns Class1, but when you compile it won't be able to find Class1. This is because Class1 does not have the DataContractAttribute which would auto-generate Class1 on the client. So, you have to distribute the shared DLL to the client. Now when the method returns and WCF tries to re-create Class1 it will use the local version in the shared DLL. Your other DLL, which will already be on the client, would use the same shared DLL.

Gem essences and the Living Light Essences follow a very ancient tradition. Since the beginning of recorded history, almost every culture – Indian, Egyptian, Mayan and Greek... as well as Australian aboriginals, and many Native peoples, has placed an extraordinary amount of value on precious gems. Ancient cultures used gems and sound vibration to direct the subtle forces of nature. Gems came to be used in astrology as well, to counteract the negative influence of the planets. In ancient eastern medicine, gemstones and gem elixirs played an important role in the healing process.
Crystals and gems were highly respected for their remarkable, even magical powers and vibrational healing properties. Gemstones have been used through the centuries in much the same way flower and nature essences are now being used in the west. Scientific evidence that acknowledges the special vibrational frequencies of gems is only coming to light as science develops the knowledge and tools to analyze the structure and properties of gems, and quantum physics gives us some of the answers as to why gems, crystals and minerals are able to do what they do. The ancients are at last being proved correct in their assumptions. Somehow they understood the vibrational power of gems and their potential influence on the subtle energies of the human being that science is only just beginning to explain today.
Dating back as far as 3000 BC, a number of Vedic texts mention the use of gems, both in terms of astrology and healing. Gems were used whole, placed or worn on the body, or crushed and ingested as a powder or drunk as an elixir. In the ancient Puranas, nine Vedic astrological gemstones are mentioned. Each represents one of the nine major planets: ruby for the Sun, pearl for Moon, coral for Mars, emerald for Mercury, diamond for Venus, blue sapphire for Saturn, cat's eye for the planet Ketu and garnet (hessonite) for the planet Rahu.
"Jyotish is the sanskrit name for vedic astrology, meaning "science of light". Ayurveda is the Indian system of medicine meaning "science of life". For gems to be capable of transmitting cosmic planetary rays that may enhance physical, emotional, or spiritual health or attract positive influences toward a person, they must first of all be natural. This means they are created by tectonic pressure within the earth over time periods up to millions of years. Gems also transmit cosmic colors that are in turn absorbed by the chakra centers in the ethereal body and therefore they must be of good quality in clarity.
Certain gems are considered to have beneficial qualities based on the healing energy vibrations that they contain. They are claimed to activate energy centers and help to develop sensitivity. Individuals can benefit from these energies by wearing gems as jewelry or by placing the natural gems in water overnight and then drinking the water. Gems can be purified by placing them in salt water for two days."
Amethyst - Contains elements Ether and Water. This gem helps control emotional temperament. It is good for vata and pitta imbalances. This gem should also be worn as a necklace.
Emerald - Contains Fire and Ether. It stimulates excess pitta but will relieve vata and kapha. Promotes intelligence, power, and prestige. Enhances art and music.
Diamond - The diamond is the best rejuvenating precious stone. They naturally should be of the best quality. It brings prosperity and is spiritually uplifting. It contains Ether, Air, Water, and Earth.
Ruby - Helps concentration and mental power. It contains Fire, Air and Ether. Ruby strengthens the heart. Pitta is sensitive and it is also good for excess vata and kapha.
Topaz - Promotes passion and relieves fear. Topaz gives strength and intelligence. It contains Fire, Ether, and Air.
Sapphire - Promotes digestion, metabolism, strength and complexion. Alleviates all three dosas.
The ancient Mayan crystal skulls are an example of how the ancients used the vibrational properties of crystals to transmit knowledge and connect with the spiritual realms. Native American Indians used crystals for diagnosis as well as for the treatment of disease.
Even in Greek and Roman times, it was believed that stones had a direct and positive influence on the body. Stones were worn as talismans for health, protection, and to attract virtues. It is no accident that the kings and queens of old wore gems in their crowns and upon their person.
In ancient Israel, Aaron, the High Priest, wore a breastplate of gems. The instructions for fabricating the Breastplate of the High Priest, or the Breastplate of Aaron, can be found in Exodus 28, 15-30:. The breastplate was of great importance because by means of it, God revealed his Divine will to His chosen people. It was designed by God Himself and the directions as to how it was to be made were given to Moses.
"And thou shall make the breastplate of judgement with cunning work; after the work of the ephod thou shalt make it; of gold, of blue, and of purple, and of scarlet, and of fine linen shalt thou make it.
And Aaron shall bear the names of the children of Israel in the breastplate of judgement upon his heart, when he goeth in unto the holy place, for a memorial before the Lord continually..."
In ancient healing it was determined that specific gemstones or crystals could be used to heal specific parts of the human anatomy. We now know that this is because each organ vibrates to a specific frequency. When disease is present the specific vibrational frequency of that organ is altered.
Through the principles of resonance and 'dominant field theory', crystals and gems are able to restore health and vitality. In addition, using a quartz crystal as a miniature microphone, researchers have developed a prototype virus detector that can 'hear' viruses. They predict that this listening technique using crystals will eventually be used to provide instant diagnosis. Today, gems are also used in technology to transmit and magnify energies in many different ways. Rubies are used in lasers for microscopic surgery and quartz crystals are used in ultrasound devices, watches, memory chips in computers, and many other electronic and technical devices.
We also now know that humans have magnetite crystals in their brains and that as solid and dense as stones, crystals, gems and minerals might be, like everything else in this plane of reality, they are actually made up of specific patterns of vibrating atoms and molecules …and space. Just as flowers have a 'life force', so do gems and mineral.
Dr. Gerber also noted that gemstones and crystals had unique molecular arrangements of geometrical symmetry. This molecular regularity of the crystalline structure of gems and crystals provided a stabilizing energetic influence to cellular and biomolecular systems within the physical body. Gemstones have a unique molecular structure that is quite significant. In taking a much closer look at gemstones and crystals, we find that each atom that makes up their atomic molecular structures has a mirror image of itself on the opposite vertex. From an atomic viewpoint they possess perfect symmetry and balance. Programs like Xtaldraw, from the University of Texas at Austin, are able to show us these beautifully symmetrical atomic structures.
Gemstones provide the most perfectly balanced physical base for creating an essence.
Gem essences capture the vibrational frequencies of gems and are encoded with wisdom achieved at a planetary level. This wisdom is transferred from the gem to the essences in the process of making the essence. Gem essences are made in a similar manner to flower essences. A gem is placed in a bowl of water and then in the sun for several hours, where the vibrational pattern of the gem is transferred to the water. The gem is then removed from the water and alcohol/brandy is added to preserve the memory of the vibrational frequency of the gem. This creates the 'mother tincture'. The essence is then diluted to create a 'stock essence'. A further dilution takes place to create a 'dosage essence'. All of the Living Light and Living Light Rainbow essences are sold as 'dosage essences' that may be taken straight from the bottle.
The Living Light Essences have an additional process used in their creation, which invokes the principle of 'ask and you will receive'. There are three Living Light Essences for each gem. For example, Starry Sapphire/Focusing, Archangel Michael/Truth, and First Divine Flame/Divine Will, are all made from sapphire, Rose Quartz/Circulating Love, Archangel Chamuel/Loving Patience, and Third Divine Flame/Unconditional Love are all made from Rose Quartz.
The additional process we use in the creation of these essences is what makes them different. An analogy might be to equate them in a similar manner to the note C in music. On the piano keyboard we have lower C, middle C and upper C, all different levels and fequencies of C. The Gem Essences Starry Sapphire or Rose Quartz might represent lower C, while Archangel Michael or Archangel Chamuel might represent middle C, and the First Divine Flame and Third Divine Flame essences might represent upper C. As Masaru Emoto has shown in his work with water (www.hado.net), intent, words, thought and music all have an impact upon the structure of water.
Kirlian photography has shown that the Living Light Essences change the aura instantly. The before and after pictures below were taken about 15-20 minutes apart. The 'after' picture was taken within minutes of taking a Living Light Essence. The first aura picture is of a person who had fallen off a ladder and hurt her legs below the knees. Note the grey in her aura there. Twenty minutes later she took the Living Light 6th Divine Flame/True Peace Essence as she felt this would help. The grey aound the legs disappeared immediately.
In the next 'before and after' set, the person had just had some major dental surgery and the aura was somewhat chaotic. She randomly decided to take the Living Light Rainbow-Amethyst Essence/Awakening to see how it would affect her aura. About fifteen minutes later she took the Living Light New Awareness of Love/Pink/Quartz & Amethyst Essence. Notice the pink around the heart area.

Discussion in 'the Art of Noise' started by lil'missy, Jan 7, 2004.
In order to make finding specific songs or tracklists easier to do, this list has been compiled and added to the first post. Since we're always finding new songs and soundtracks, the list will be edited as new additions are found. If you find any new songs or soundtracks, please be sure to post it as you normally would so that we can add it to the list.
Thank you to everyone who has identified music or shared their soundtracks with us as this thread has grown!!!
Born to die by Lana del Rey.

This Is What Makes Us Girls by Lana del Rey.
Ok, so no drooling...it's all Carla Bruni...who wants to have a go at the titles of the songs?
Well, the middle one I think is "Quelqu'un m'a Dit"...it's a beautiful song...the other songs played, I'm not crazy about, but the show was so underwhelming as a whole that no matter how much I like "Quelqu'un m'a Dit" it couldn't even make me like the collection one bit.
What Song is Played at 5:44 ??
Does someone know the music of the Haute Couture Spring/Summer 2009 Show?
I loved the latest soundtrack!!
It begins with Alicia Kyes´s you don´t know my name and it ends with Lurent Wolf "No stress" but my favourite is that dance song mixed with violins in the evening section.
-Alicia Keys "You don´t know my name"
-Chris Lake feat Nastala "If you knew"
-Noisette "Don´t upset the rythm"
if "love story" wasn't in that soundtrack, it would be amazing!
I miss Dior old soundtrack !
Does anyone have and could upload for me D*Note´s Garden of Earthly Delights played at Fall 2007 show? I would be also grateful for the lyrics, as I cannot find them anywhere.
Hi! Does anyone have Dior RTW F/W 2006? Noticed a few expired links!

Renault Sport F1 – a lap at Monaco
Held on the roads of Monte Carlo, the 3.340km circuit tracks around some of the most famous streets in the Principality, passing famed landmarks including the casino and harbour packed with some of the world's largest boats.
For Renault Sport F1 this is something of a home race and one where it has achieved some of its most notable results as an engine supplier. In 2010 the RS27 sealed a 1-2-3 result with Red Bull Racing's Mark Webber winning from pole position, Sebastian Vettel second and Renault F1 Team's Robert Kubica third. Renault engines have taken three other victories in Monaco; in 1995 with Michael Schumacher (Benetton-Renault), in 2004 with Jarno Trulli and 2006 with Fernando Alonso (both Renault F1 Team). A Renault engine has also started from pole ten times.
A lap of Monaco from an engine point of view:
The Monte Carlo street track is demanding on drivers, teams and engines as they seek to find an optimum set up to negotiate the bumpy, tortuous streets of the Principality. In fact the average speed is the lowest of the season, just 160kph, and top speed just 290kph.
The run to the first corner from pole position is the shortest of the season: only 140 metres. The pole sitter will cover this distance in approximately four seconds, which will not give a significant amount of time for KERS to be activated fully. Drivers then brake down to just 105kph for the Sainte Devote first corner before quickly getting back on the power for the short climb up through Beau Rivage to Casino Square. A responsive engine is key here and engine maps will be designed to work with short gear ratios to hit the rev limit at the top of the hill. KERS could be used effectively on this 'straight' during the race, but its effects will be counteracted by the steep gradient leading from Ste Devote to Casino – cars will climb over 30m in just 10secs.
Sector two
It's particularly bumpy through this section and the cars run off line going down from Casino into the Mirabeau to avoid a particularly large bump. It's not just that the balance is thrown out over a bump – running directly over the middle makes the car temporarily 'take off'. Even if it's just for a nano second, with no load running through the wheels the engine suddenly hits the rev limiter, which puts the internal parts under huge stress.
From the Mirabeau the cars plunge down to the Grand Hotel Hairpin (formally called the Loews hairpin), which sees the engine running at the lowest speed and revs it reaches on track at any point in the year; just 44kph through the tight hairpin and around 4,000rpm. The torque and responsiveness of the engine here are crucial as large chunks of time can be won or lost by the entry and exit speeds. The driver needs to know that when he puts his foot on the gas that the engine will respond to his command.
The cars then take a right hand turn into the fastest section of the track – the tunnel section, where the cars will be at top speed and maximum rev limit for around eight or nine seconds. Again, a responsive engine that has correct maps through the lower revs is crucial to getting up to speed - there's only 670m from the exit of Portiers to the chicane after the tunnel. Cars will be heading at around 290kph at their quickest through this section. In theory KERS could be used here, but principally only for defending a position rather than for overtaking – going off line here is seriously dirty work.
While the tunnel section provides a welcome breath of air for the engine as it reaches the top speed, it's not clean air – the enclosed nature of the tunnel means the air going into the engine through the airbox is as hot as the ambient temperatures seen in Malaysia or Abu Dhabi.
Sector three
The final section between Tabac and the finish line contains the most amount of corners and therefore demands engine responsiveness. The drivers need to know that the engine will deliver the power when they need it so they can be millimetre perfect through the swimming pool and Rascasse corners back onto the main straight.
View from Rémi Taffin, head of Renault Sport F1 track operations:
In terms of man power hours Monaco is the race that RSF1 engineers spend the most time preparing – anything from two to four days in the dyno and the design office compared to around one day for an average race such as China.
Although the lap is the shortest of the season and the engine spends a relatively short amount of time at full throttle – just over 50% of the lap as opposed to China where this figure will be closer to 70% - the challenge is to deliver a highly responsive, driveable engine through the entry and exit to the slow corners. As such engineers work on maps that target torque through the lower rev limits of the engine (around 15 – 17,000rpm) rather than the top end (16 – 18,000rpm).
This sheer number of turns round the track means that the engine also isn't given any 'time off' and, as a result cooling becomes crucial. We can't afford to put any cooling holes or additional louvre panels to help out – the tight corners demand such high downforce settings that every bit of bodywork affects performance.
The challenge is to get the driver to a confidence level where he doesn't even comment on the engine, that is, he knows that it's doing what he wants it to do. If you've done this you know you've done your job!
Engine engineers allow the driver to control the amount of fuel burned throughout the race using different setting maps activated by dials on the steering wheel. It's always a balancing act as the team seeks to gain performance through the fuel usage but also finish the race with as little fuel as possible. With the advent of KERS, DRS, increased tyre wear and more frequent pitstops in 2011 it has become much more difficult to predict the fuel consumption on each lap. As a result the driver has to change fuel settings on average three times more frequently than 2010 to optimize the fuel load at the end of the race.

My husband and I have been following the Healthiest Way of Eating plan with the World's Healthiest Foods for three weeks now. In that time, we've basically experienced a miracle.
I've lost 5 pounds and he has lost 6 pounds, since beginning the plan. The best part of doing your plan is that we aren't hungry. In the past, we have been able to stick to a 'diet' for about two weeks before we give up, usually with a binge. But on the plan, neither of us feel as if we are starving. We are generally not missing the foods we used to eat.
A New Life: I just wanted to email to say that your book has truly changed my life. At 22 years old I had just graduated college and was a complete mess; my diet was terrible, I couldn't fall asleep, I was suffering from anxiety, and I weighed 184 lbs which is a lot for someone of my height. My dad borrowed this book from his friend and I started flipping through it and found everything so interesting and appetizing. He quickly purchased it for me and the day I got it I started with the diet plan.
For 4-Weeks straight I ate nothing but food from your book and I suddenly felt amazing. I can gladly say that now, with the help of your recipes plus yoga and pilates, that I weigh 145lbs! Not only did I lose weight but my entire metabolism changed. I no longer had any desire for sweets, or high fat food and the occasional time I do I find that I don't gain weight as quickly. I have lost weight in the past from other diets but always gain it back once I go back to eating badly but this is not a diet, it.s a way of life. I swear by your book and make recipes for all my friends and they are picky eaters and love them!

Francis Benali played more than 300 matches for Southampton during his spell at the club. This is his one and only goal: beautiful looping header, which he was evidently ecstatic with. This goal secured a 1-0 victory over Leicester in December 1997. The advantage of never having scored a goal before, it seems, is that nobody bothers to mark you!

5 Amazing Places to Visit in Imo State
Imo state is known as the ideal place for hangouts and party. Its capital Owerri which is popularly called "O'Town" is home to several hotels, "good time" locations and historical monuments. Here are five places to visit the next time you are in Imo state.
Assumpta Cathedral: Also known as Owerri Cathedral. The cathedral is one of the finest architectural works in Owerri. The idea to develop a modern cathedral in Owerri was led by the diocese and its Irish Bishop, Joseph Brendan Whelan. The architectural style of the building is similar to Renaissance ecclesiastical. The structure of the church is designed in the shape of a Greek cross with four naves of equal length spread in opposite directions and between the naves will four chapels. The altar is centrally located and has a dome that reaches 120 feet in height and 101 feet in diameter. The capacity of the building is 3,000. This structure is ideal for a photoshoot and religious learning as it is a said to be the biggest cathedral in West Africa.
Mbari Cultural Centre: The cultural centre is an outdoor museum that holds monumental pieces that show the history and promote the culture of the Igbo Kingdom. It is also a platform for artists and sculptors to narrate the social life of the Igbos and speak of the traditional Igbo cosmic system. These deities visible at the cultural center include Amadioha (the god of thunder), Ogwugwu (the god of the forest), Nwaorie (the goddess of Nwaorie River), Ahiajoku (the god of harvest). Attached to each deity are images of animals such as monkeys, tortoise, rams, snakes and owls, believed to represent errand spirits or mystical messengers of the deities. There are also other significant images like Ikoro( the Igbo traditional instrument for communicating messages) unfamiliar creatures such as the ostrich (Enyi Nnunu); a certain tall figure representing Alakuko, allegedly the tallest man in Igboland; 'Onye afo toro', a man whose stomach became bloated because he committed an abomination against Ala. The Mabari cultural centre is a three-dimensional cultural facility, made up of the Mbari House, Mbari Museum Kitchen and an amphitheatre. It is an ideal location to know more about the Igbo culture.
Jacaranda Casino: There's a vibrant air of excitement and tension when you enter the gaming rooms, with some having fun at the slot machines & others taking it seriously at the tables. Jacaranda Casino is also a good hotel location and has a state of art restaurant where you can enjoy all types of delicacies. It is an ideal spot to hang out with a group of friends. It is ideal to dress glamorously when hanging out at the Casino as most of its clients tend to dress like royalty.
The Dan Anyiam Stadium: Dan Anyiam Sports Complex is a multi-purpose stadium located in Owerri. Named after Daniel Amobi Amadi Anyiam, vice-captain of the first Nigerian national football team. It is the home stadium of the Heartland Football Club. The stadium has a capacity of 10,000 people. If you a lover of football, it is an ideal spot to watch live matches between several football teams and to also engage in sports.
Oguta Lake: This is It is the largest natural lake in Imo State and It is located within the equatorial rainforest region of Niger Delta.The confluence of the Bluewater and the Muddy Orashi River where two different colours of water meet remains a beautiful mysterious spectacle. It is deemed a natural treasure. According to an ancient myth, both rivers were a man (Orashi) and woman (Ogbuide) who were happily married till a conflict occurred and separation happened which is why they can never meet. To the people, the lake is a religious symbol of the god and goddess who can never meet. Activities like swimming, fishing and boat rides occur at Oguta Lake.
Do note that there are certain rivers in Imo State, where only the indigenes of that village are permitted to swim in it and foreigners are advised to remain on land to avoid any accidents.

3 Things We've Learned About the Pittsburgh Penguins After 9 Games
Quinton Clapper October 25, 2013
It certainly has been a great start to the hockey season for the Pittsburgh Penguins. In fact, as of this writing, Pittsburgh sits atop the Eastern Conference standings, tied with the Toronto Maple Leafs. Penguin fans have been accustomed to fast starts in the past, but here are three reasons why the Penguins are doing so well this year, and why this success will continue.
1. Sidney Crosby is better than everyone else
Sidney Crosby continues to light the lamp this season

Where to start? It seems so cliché to attribute the Penguins' success to Mr. Crosby, but alas, it cannot be ignored. Once again Crosby is far above the competition in the points' race — much like he was last season before a puck forced him to undergo dental-reconstruction surgeries. Take a look at NHL.com's League Leaders statistic page and you'll see Crosby's mug all over the page like the star of a police station's most-wanted bulletin board. He leads in points (17), assists (10), and is second (t) in goals (7). Not only is Crosby shining (like his new teeth) in individual statistics, but he's making his teammates — specifically his linemates — better. Going back to NHL.com's League Leaders statistic page, we see Chris Kunitz sitting atop (t) the plus/minus grouping. Does anyone honestly believe Kunitz would be there without Crosby centering that line? No. No one does.
2. Marc-Andre Fleury has been marvelous

Penguins' fans were concerned about who would backup Fleury after the preseason news of Tomas Vokoun's injury. Penguins' fans were concerned about how he would perform for the opener, the second game, the 50th game, but Fleury has made us all forget about those preseason questions marks with his absolutely fantastic goaltending to start the year. In eight-starts so far this season, Fleury carries a marvelous 7-1 record — the only blemish resulting from allowing only one goal against the Colorado Avalanche and the brick-wall version of Jean-Sebastian Giguere. Again, take a look at NHL.com's League Leaders statistic page and see Fleury's numbers for yourself. Here's hoping Fleury can continue this level of goaltending when it counts.
3. The Penguins have too many good defensemen
Olli Maatta scores his first goal against the Vancouver Canucks
(Justin K. Aller / Getty Images)
With top-five-in-the-league defenseman (Kris Letang) not playing a single minute this regular season, the Penguins have a big problem in their defensive ranks. They're too deep and they're too good. Brooks Orpik; Paul Martin; Olli Maatta; Rob Scuderi; Matt Niskanen; Deryk Engelland; Robert Bortuzzo; and Simon Despres are all NHL caliber defenseman. But Despres is down with the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins and Bortuzzo and Engelland fight for that final d-spot each game. With news that stud up-and-coming-star Olli Maatta will remain with the team and not go to Juniors, what will happen to Bortuzzo or Engelland when Letang returns? Will Despres, an up-and-comer in his own right, get a chance to earn more NHL-time this season? The Penguins knew they had this "problem" coming out of training camp; Matt Niskanen was the estimated scapegoat at some point this season, but he has looked amazing and is putting up solid numbers, getting time on the power-play unit. Whatever happens, any team would kill to have this "problem" and because of it, the Penguins might "kill" at the trade-deadline.
Penguins Salute the fans
Prospects look great for the Penguins season — Sid's healthy, Geno is skating well, they're 1-0 against the Philadelphia Flyers — and if the three things listed above can continue, the Penguins might be on their way to a Presidents' Trophy and home-ice throughout the Stanley Cup Playoffs.

Q: Combining fancybox with multiple thumbnail plugin I'm combining fancybox(jquery) with multiple post thumbnail plugin. Basically the idea is when the user click the featured image post it will display the image on the secondary featured image. Here is the code that i'm working on.
     <?php query_posts('posts_per_page=-1&cat=10'); if(have_posts()) : while(have_posts()) :the_post(); ?>

              <a class="fancybox" href="<?php MultiPostThumbnails::get_the_post_thumbnail(get_post_type, 'secondary-image'); ?>"><?php if ( has_post_thumbnail()) { $large_image_url = wp_get_attachment_image_src( get_post_thumbnail_id($post->ID), 'large'); echo '';  } ?>

<a class="dress_title" href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?>

    <?php endwhile; endif; wp_reset_query();?>

The problem right now whenever i click the featured, it displays the featured image in the fancybox instead of the secondary image and the featured image disappears once i close the fancybox. Has anyone tried this approach when creating post featured image with fancybox.
Here is a screenshot of what the output looks like

and here is a screen shot of what is set in the secondary image

This is the link for the website i'm building at the moment -

A: I managed to get the result on my own after much playing with the codes. Here is the working code :)

            <?php query_posts('posts_per_page=-1&cat=10'); if(have_posts()) : while(have_posts()) :the_post(); ?>

<?php
    $imgID = get_post_thumbnail_id();
    $url = MultiPostThumbnails::get_post_thumbnail_url(get_post_type(), 'secondary-image');
?>

              <?php if ( has_post_thumbnail()) { $large_image_url = wp_get_attachment_image_src( get_post_thumbnail_id(), 'large'); echo '';  } ?>

                <a class="fancybox" href="<?php echo $url; ?>"><?php the_title(); ?>

              <?php /*

<a class="dress_title" href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?>

              */ ?>

            <?php endwhile; endif; wp_reset_query();?>

Mark Wahlberg and Michelle Williams, who also star in the movie, are expected to be involved with the reshoots. Plummer is slated to replace Spacey as J. Paul Getty in Ridley Scott's film "All the Money in the World".
The decision to erase Spacey comes after a string of allegations about the actor's predatory sexual behaviour.
The filmmaker made the decision unilaterally and only notified Sony of his decision late Wednesday afternoon, according to sources familiar with the situation, adding that Plummer was originally the first choice for the role, but top studio executives wanted a bigger name. The reshoots, as you might expect, will begin immediately, since the film's release date is December 22. As reports of Spacey's alleged sexual harassment have continued to pile up, we learned earlier this week that Sony was considering pushing All the Money in the World-in which Spacey plays billionaire J.
Variety said that Spacey had shot about two weeks of footage and there were many scenes in the film where he was the only actor on screen. When Getty Sr. refuses, Gail attempts to sway him as her son's captors become increasingly volatile and brutal.
Several other allegations of misconduct have since surfaced, including a claim by US TV presenter Heather Unruh that the actor groped her 18-year-old son in a bar last year. "It harmed him, and it can not be undone".
Broadway star Anthony Rapp accused Spacey of attempting to molest him when he was a teenager at a party in the 1980s.
Not only was he recast in All the Money in the World, he was also fired from Netflix's House of Cards.
Spacey's former publicist said last week that the actor was "taking the time necessary to seek evaluation and treatment". "But if I did behave then as he describes, I owe him the sincerest apology for what would have been deeply inappropriate drunken behavior, and I am sorry for the feelings he describes having carried with him all these years".


Cold's Gold Factory - WoW AH & Hearthstone Tips, Heroes of the Storm: More Frequent Postings Coming.
Been working around 65+ hours a week at work and they installed websense web blocker, so my posts have been minimal lately. Good news: Got a worhole and proxy set-up now to get around Websense. Take that! Ha! And will have a few more days off to be able to play and post as well. So get ready for some more good stuff soon.


I am always looking for healthy, yet inexpensive ways to feed my family. Recently I was able to get five pound bags of chicken quarters on sale for less than $1 a lb, so you can bet I stocked up! When it came time to cook these giant hunks of chicken, I was initially at a loss!There did not seem to be very many recipes out there, and the ones I found were all on the grill. SO I took it upon myself to try to to baked chicken quarters with veggies in my cast iron skillet, and oh boy did it turn out delicious! The recipe is super simple, and I love that I can do the chicken and veggies in one pan and save myself some clean up!
You can find chicken quarters on sale pretty inexpensive most times of the year. Like I said above, I got mine for less than $1 a lb. My deep freezer is now fully stocked and we are ready to eat chicken quarters a few times a week. The only negative to using chicken quarters, is that they have a longer cook time due to the bones and the size. That didn't bother me much though, because they are rather simple to just put in the oven and let go for however long you need. So while these baked chicken quarters might have an hour cook time, you really aren't in the kitchen for most of that.
The prep on these baked chicken quarters is rather simple. First you will need to preset your oven to 425 degrees. While that is heating up, you can prep your chicken. I used my cast iron skillet, but you can use any oven safe dish that you may own. First I oiled down my pan with some olive oil and then seasoned my chicken. All I used salt, pepper, and Original Juan Burger Seasoning. I know, it says burger, but the mix of spices in it is PERFECT for chicken as well. Then I topped the chicken with some Sweet Baby Rays Secret Sauce. The sauce is basically a horseradish sauce, and it gave the perfect kick!
Once my oven was nice and hot, I put the skillet in and let it go for 30 minutes. During this 30 minute cook time you can watch a sitcom, sit and relax, or you can prep your veggies. I ended up buying veggies from my local grocery store which were already cut up for me. Yes, I took the lazy route and I am not ashamed! This recipe can really use any number ov veggies, so pick something that your family loves! I went with a mix of mushrooms, onions, and peppers. It would be wonderful with broccoli and carrots as well though.
While waiting for my times to ding, I put the chopped veggies into a bowl and seasoned them. Since they are going to be cooking with the chicken, you don't want to be too heavy handed. I just used olive oil, salt, pepper, and minced garlic.
Ding! The times is done and it is time to add the veggies! I dumped mine right into the skillet between the chicken quarters. Before putting it back in the oven, coat the chicken with a little more of the secret sauce, this helps lock in moisture and keep the skin from getting TOO crispy. Once you are ready, put it back in the oven for another 30 minutes.
Once that last timer goes off, you are ready to eat! You chicken will be tender and juicy, and the veggies will be the perfect accompaniment. The skin was nice and crispy but the meat itself was super moist. My husband and daughter tore this up! I ended up serving it with some rice and a can of corn.
A delicious and inexpensive meal that the whole family will love!
Coat pan in oil. Season chicken with salt, pepper, and burger seasoning. Top with sauce.
Cut up all of your veggies and season to taste with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper.
When your 30 minute timer goes off, add veggies to the pan with the chicken. Top chicken with more sauce and cook an additional 30 minute.
You can substitute paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder for the burger seasoning.
If you loved this and want more simple chicken recipes, you will probably love these Slow Cooker Chicken Wings! I hope you enjoy, and let me know in the comments below if you tried it and what you think!
I have a picky eater and chicken is one of the few things he will actually eat. I think he (and the rest of the family) would really like this.
I love one pan meals, so quick and easy clean up! This looks like a great budget friendly meal!

The pictures of that chicken and fresh veggies is so good and that meal in one skillet is my favorite thing. My kids love it when we cook healthy things so I will try this.
This chicken recipe looks so delicious! Perfect for a family dinner. My family will surely love this.
I've used Sweet Baby Rays BBQ sauce for years, but I've haven't tried their secret sauce. This recipe has me so curious. I'm going to have to go out and get some so I can make this yummy chicken dish.
This dish looks so delicious. I always love the way chicken with onions, mushrooms and bell peppers tastes. It's such a rich flavor profile.
We love chicken especially when its baked. We are eating healthy these days and nothing can get healthier than baked chicken for sure.
We eat a lot of chicken at our house. It's quick, it's easy and goes with just about everything! Can't wait to try this recipe!
Looks like such an easy recipe to make! Totally adding this to my meal planner on pinterest!
This looks great! It looks easy to make too and perfect for a Sunday night dinner for my family.
Oh yum. I love anything baked chicken. Surprisingly why my son probably doesn't love chicken. Haha.
Yum! These look really good. I love chicken and veggies. It seems like it would be a good weeknight dinner.
This looks amazing! I think I almost always use de-boned chicken unless I am roasting a whole one. I think I will have to try this so, I know that the bone in keeps the meat so tender and delicious!
My honeydo is a very fussy when it comes to food, chicken is the only meat he eats. So I love seeing and learning some more chicken recipes. Especially a one pan meal! Thanks for sharing.
Those dishes look fantastic. Cast iron is absolutely the way to go!

Scharmbeckstotel () ist der südlichste Stadtteil der Kreisstadt Osterholz-Scharmbeck im niedersächsischen Landkreis Osterholz.

Geographische Lage
Scharmbeckstotel liegt südlich der Langen Heide, einem Geestplateau, auf dem zahlreiche Flüsse ihr Quellgebiet haben; so entspringt nördlich von Scharmbeckstotel die Wienbeck, die in den Scharmbecker Bach mündet. Während der Ortskern auf etwa  liegt, fällt der südliche Teil der Ortschaft rasch in Richtung der Niederung des Flusses Hamme ab.

Die Ortschaft liegt zwischen der Kernstadt Osterholz-Scharmbeck und Ritterhude an der Bundesstraße B 74, die zwischen der Kreisstadt und der Siedlung die Bezeichnung "Settenbecker Straße" und im Ortskern "Hauptstraße" trägt und spätestens seit der Neusiedlung "Am Brockenacker" einen Engpass der Strecke darstellt, da die Straße fast den gesamten Pendlerstrom von und nach Bremen aufnehmen muss.

Geschichte

Ersterwähnung
Die erste Erwähnung ist durch eine Urkunde aus dem Jahr 1218 belegt, in der die Belehnung eines Hofes durch das Kloster in Osterholz dokumentiert wurde.

Besiedelung des Ziegelmoores
Auf Grund der starken Verkehrsbelastung formierte sich 2006 der Widerstand der Einwohner gegen eine Fortsetzung der Besiedlung im so genannten "Ziegelmoor", da zur Hauptverkehrszeit der vollständige Verkehrskollaps auf der B 74 befürchtet wurde. Ende Mai 2006 wurde das Projekt im Planungsausschuss des Stadtrates gestoppt.

Ob es unter veränderten Rahmenbedingungen, u. a. fand am 10. September 2006 die niedersächsische Kommunalwahl statt, erneut zu einer Vorlage kommen wird, kann nicht ausgeschlossen werden. Spätestens nach dem Bau einer – mittelfristig realisierbaren – Umgehungsstraße wäre den Siedlungsgegnern ein entscheidendes Argument aus der Hand genommen.

Eingemeindungen
Bis zur Kreisreform war die Ortschaft eine eigenständige Gemeinde im Landkreis Osterholz. Zur Gebietsreform in Niedersachsen wurde sie am 1. März 1974 in die Kreisstadt Osterholz-Scharmbeck eingegliedert.

Wappen
Das Wappen der früheren Gemeinde Scharmbeckstotel besteht aus den beiden Farben Grün und Silber. Die grüne Farbe soll den landwirtschaftlichen Charakter der Gemeinde verdeutlichen. Die silberne Farbe wurde den Landesfarben des Erzbistums entnommen.
Im oberen Teil ist ein Hifthorn abgebildet, dies ist durch einen überlieferten Brauch entstanden, demzufolge dem jeweils amtierenden Bürgermeister für die Dauer seiner Amtszeit ein Hifthorn übergeben wird, in dem die Namen aller vorigen amtierenden Bürgermeister eingraviert sind. Im unteren Teil ist ein Mühlrad dargestellt. Es weist auf die Wassermühle des Ortes hin.

Kultur und Sehenswürdigkeiten

Bauwerke
 Die Wassermühle Ruschkamp wurde 1620 erstmals urkundlich erwähnt; seit 1662 ist die Zweigängemühle im Besitz der Familie Wehmann. 1972 wurde die Mühle durch einen Brand zerstört, jedoch komplett wieder aufgebaut und 2002 saniert. Die Mühle befindet sich derzeit in einem funktionsfähigen Zustand.

Vereine
 Sportverein ATSV Scharmbeckstotel von 1902 e. V.
 Bürgerverein "800-Jahre Scharmbeckstotel e. V."
 Reit- und Fahrverein Scharmbeckstotel e. V.
 Tennisverein TV Scharmbeckstotel von 1978 e. V.
 Erntefestkomitee Scharmbeckstotel e. V. von 1950

Regelmäßige Veranstaltungen
 Im September wird das Erntefest gefeiert. Dieses Dorffest wird vom Erntefestkomitee organisiert und das ganze Dorf beteiligt sich an den Umzügen und dem Schmücken der Straßen.
 Im Herbst findet das Kulturevent "Kultur im Dorf" in der Aula der Grundschule statt.

What is the definition of being healthy? According to the World Health Organization, "health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity." More recently this definition includes leading a socially and economically productive life.
However, Many people believe that being healthy is not a static state of being but a dynamic process of continuous adjustment to the changing demands of life. For me – there are four pillars to achieving and maintaining health & fitness. They are: Strength Training, Cardiovascular Health, Yoga & Meditation and Nutrition. One with out the other is like building a house without a solid foundation or strong walls to support the roof. We need all four elements to stay healthy, active, alert and disease-free.
As we get older, our body undergoes many physiological changes that can increase the risk of chronic diseases including heart disease, arthritis, osteoporosis, and diabetes. The good news is that strength or resistance training can help offset these deleterious changes. An exercise program specifically designed with your goals in mind can provide a safe, low-impact workout that enhances overall fitness including cardiovascular endurance, muscular strength, muscular endurance, flexibility, coordination and balance.
Cardiovascular or cardiorespiratory health relates to the health of the heart and blood vessels as well as the health of the organs that are critically dependent on a strong blood supply. Our cardiovascular system consists of the heart (a muscle that also is dependent on an oxygenated blood supply), lungs, arteries, veins and capillaries. Our cardiovascular system is responsible for circulating and transporting oxygen, carbon dioxide, hormones, and nutrients (such as electrolytes) to and from our cells as well as stabilizing body temperature, pH and maintaining homeostasis.
• Decreased risk of cardiovascular disease such as heart attack, stroke, diabetes, insulin sensitivity.
The word "yoga" comes from the Sanskrit word yuj, which means "to yoke, join or unite". Yoga is a practical aid, not a religion. It is an ancient art based on a harmonizing system of development for the body, mind and spirit. The continued practice of yoga will lead you to a sense of peace, happiness and well-being, as well as a feeling of being at one with your environment.
The whole system of Yoga is built on three main structures: exercise, breathing, and meditation. The exercises of Yoga are designed to put pressure on the glandular systems of the body, thereby increasing its efficiency and total health. Breathing techniques are based on the concept that breath is the source of life in the body. It is with both exercise and breathing that the body and mind are prepared for meditation, allowing for a quiet mind and healing from everyday stress.
• A clear, bright mind and a strong, capable body.
Good nutrition and physical activity go hand in hand. Eating healthy will help you improve your health, prevent and control chronic diseases and maintain an active & healthy lifestyle. Eating healthy is not a diet but a way of life. Once you learn what works for you, you'll find that eating healthy isn't difficult to do.

A chimpanzee was placed in a room along with a white-suited doctor, who would shower him with hugs, snuggling, and generally warm and fuzzy feelings. Then the white-suited doctor was replaced by a black-suited doctor, who wrestled, tumbled and noogied the chimp into exhaustion.
When both doctors were placed in the same room, the chimpanzee would switch between the two suits, depending upon his mood.
Which brings me to Ian. I'm a very physically affectionate person – I love to hug and be hugged, and I absolutely love to snuggle. At three- or six-months old, kids really don't have a say in snuggling. They just sorta have to take it; their only defense is various bodily fluids, and even those run dry after a while.
There is no defense from grandmothers.
When he was a baby – and I'm struggling with the fact that he no longer fits that description – my favorite part of the day was the Daddy Nap. I loved to have him curled on my chest, fists clenched beneath him. Daddy Naps are very, very rare, but sometimes he'll fall asleep in my arms. Whenever he wraps his arms around my neck, my heart melts.
Now that Ian's walking running flying, it's hard to get him to hold still long enough to take the scissors away from him, let alone exchange hugs. But there's always time for Mommy. Seemingly at random, he'll veer off course and give Kelly a quick hug in passing, or will crawl into her lap, head on her chest. He'll motion toward me while in her arms, then change his mind in mid-air, turn around, and hug her again.
Because I'm never happy, this bothered me for a while. Of course I knew it didn't mean that he didn't love me. I just really, really like hugs, especially from Ian. I wasn't sad, or anything, just in need of some TLC.
But I'm the black-suited doctor. My role is to make Ian laugh and squeal. When he and Kelly pick me up from work, the first thing he does is grin and tense his body – he pulls away from me, as if he's waiting for something. Which is when I chew his face off and let my fingers find every ticklish part of his body.
When Ian finds me in the house, he'll quickly turn around and run, making sure that I follow. Sometimes he gets so excited that he'll forget about gravity (and physics in general) and eat the floor, or smack into a cabinet. Though he never seems to mind.
I was carrying Ian to bed last night, and as I laid him in the crib he smiled and tensed his body. 'What?' I asked. He giggled. 'I don't know what you're talking about,' I said. He snorted. So I ate his face.
That's what happens when I don't get my hugs.
NOBODY is funnier than daddy! NOBODY is as cool as daddy! NOBODY!

Baker Lake (Inuktitut: ; 'where the river widens') is a lake in the Kivalliq Region, Nunavut, Canada. It is fed by the Thelon River from the west and the Kazan River from the south. It outflows into Chesterfield Inlet. The lake is approximately  in size. It has several named bays, and a few islands.

In 1762 William Christopher reached Baker Lake via Chesterfield Inlet. The Inuit hamlet of Baker Lake is at the west end of the lake near the mouth of the Thelon River. Although the Inuit had been in the area for some time, the first outside presence was the Royal North-West Mounted Police post at the east end of the lake in 1915. This was followed in 1916 by the Hudson's Bay Company post set up at the Kazan River delta until 1930 when it moved to its present location.

Fauna
The lake's area is home to Beverly and Qamanirjuaq Caribou herds, as well as other wildlife associated with northern Canada's Arctic.

New York Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) officials unveiled some of the technologies the agency is considering as part of its efforts to protect the system from future storms. The MTA has also been researching and investigating existing flood mitigation and resiliency systems used worldwide for possible adaption in New York.
The MTA is designing solutions to fully prevent water incursion at the approximately 600 entry points in Lower Manhattan as well as vulnerable vent plants and openings in other flood-prone areas. MTA New York City Transit (NYCT) is also analyzing all underground tube locations to ensure that critical points where water can enter the system are protected, according to officials.
Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo and MTA Chairman/CEO Thomas F. Prendergast, accompanied by U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Secretary Shaun Donovan and other officials, toured Lower Manhattan to see firsthand some of the emerging technologies being implemented to harden the system.

Gov. Cuomo and officials viewed a prototype entrance cover at the Whitehall St. subway station, developed by RSA Protective Technologies, to protect at least 13 vulnerable stairwells in Lower Manhattan. This stairway cover will be able to be rapidly installed without the need of mechanized equipment.
Officials also toured the new South Ferry subway station, closed since Superstorm Sandy filled the entire station with more than 14 million gallons of corrosive salt water, to view a tunnel plug under development by ILC Dover to protect subway portals where grade-level tracks transition to underground subways.
A "Tensioned Curtain," is also under development to help mitigate flooding. If successfully prototyped and tested, the MTA hopes the technology could be applied to portals and stairwell locations throughout the system.
Another vendor, FloodBreak, is producing a permanently implantable device beneath sidewalk ventilation gratings that can be immediately and easily closed, sealing the vent from flood waters. If testing of an installed prototype is successful, several hundred units may be used in gratings at the most vulnerable locations in the city.
Across the MTA, more than 70 projects are in design worth approximately $4.5 billion. Five projects totaling $75 million are in procurement and 16 projects, worth $575 million, are already in construction.
At NYCT, design has begun for repairs to six subway tubes including work on signals, pump rooms, power and communications, tunnel lighting and ducts. More than one million riders use these six tubes on the average weekday. In addition to design of signal and other systems, NYCT is building two new pump trains that will reduce the time needed to pump water out of the subway system.

MEPs adopt Digital Services Act in a key committee vote

Languages: Bulgarian
EU lawmakers reached an agreement on the EU rulebook for digital content and services, formalised by the adoption in the leading parliamentary committee.
The compromised text on the Digital Services Act received broad support in the internal market committee (IMCO) on Tuesday (14 December), following an agreement brokered by the lead negotiator Christel Schaldemose.
"We have been too slow to acknowledge that we also need to protect our online environment from pollution in the form of the spread of illegal products, harmful algorithms and the harvesting of personal data," Schaldemose said.
The DSA is horizontal legislation introducing obligations on content moderation and illegal products and for transparency and accountability for the algorithms used by online platforms.
DSA parliamentary agreement set to hold in key committee vote
The major political groups of the European Parliament reached common ground on the Digital Services Act (DSA), which is set to be largely confirmed in a key committee vote as alternative amendments have so far gathered only limited support.
Asymmetrical approach
The DSA introduces due diligence obligations based on an asymmetrical approach, with tougher measures for very large online platforms, those with more than 45 million users, and exemptions for small and micro companies via a waiver system.
"Not everything in this law is needed for our start-ups and would just harm innovation and be a burden. They will be exempt from some parts of the law," liberal MEP Dita Charanzová told EURACTIV.
SMEs that do not pose "significant systemic risks" will be able to request a waiver to the European Commission, a measure that was the subject of intense debate between the centre-left, keener on consumer protection, and the centre-right, traditionally more business-friendly.
Moreover, MEPs adopted an amendment that would require the European Commission to "pay specific attention to SMEs and the position of new competitors" when periodically revising the regulation.
DSA: MEPs near agreement on targeted ads, recommender system, marketplace liability
The main political groups of the European Parliament could soon agree on key points of the proposal to regulate online services, according to the latest compromise amendments seen by EURACTIV. Still, discussions may not meet the December deadline.
The new rules will also set out obligations for removing illegal online content. Following a principle established in the e-Commerce Directive, platforms will not be obliged to monitor all the content they host. Still, they will have to take swift action when requested by a competent authority.
Individuals and organisations will also flag suspicious content or appeal to a removal decision, which platforms must justify adequately. National authorities might also require a platform to reinstate erroneously taken down content.
Platforms will have more discretion for legal but potentially harmful content, but they will follow stated terms and conditions.
In a last-minute addition, MEPs voted in favour of obligations on pornographic platforms to ensure users uploading content have been verified, human review is in place to detect abusive content, and that the individuals who are depicted without their consent can request the immediate removal of the content.
A more controversial point in the content moderation debate was a proposal for exempting the media sector, based on the argument that online platforms should not control editorial content for which publishers are legally liable.
The exemption did not find support in the IMCO committee for fear the media curb out would open a dangerous loop for spreading disinformation. However, the associated committee on legal affairs (JURI) can table amendments during the plenary vote in January and will likely raise the issue again.
"It is frustrating that public service media has to be under the content moderation of a private entity like Facebook," Schaldemose told reporters, noting that there were divisions also inside the different political groups.
Media exemption ruled out in DSA negotiations, but could return
An attempt to exempt the media from new content moderation rules has been ruled out following opposition from all major political groups, but the battle is not over.
Algorithms and transparency
Very large online platforms will have to conduct specific risk assessments due to their 'systemic' role in society. These measures might have far-reaching implications for the inner working of platforms as algorithms have been accused of spreading disinformation or even harming the mental health of teenage girls.
Based on the parliament's text, the largest platforms would also have to provide an alternative version of their recommender systems not based on profiling and enable the user to see on what criteria the platform is adapting content for them.
More substantial transparency obligations were also introduced, and platforms will have to open their data for external review. However, they will still maintain their 'trade secrets'.
This exemption was partially removed in the compromise text, as lawmakers feared that online players could use it to withhold key information from the public. Still, green MEP Alexandra Geese told EURACTIV the group will likely ask for a complete removal during the plenary vote, together with other amendments against microtargeting and for including the environment in the risk assessment of big online platforms.
The compromise text also introduces measures against dark patterns, techniques designed to manipulate users to extort their consent for processing personal data. Platforms would be allowed to reach out to users multiple times but not prevent them from taking an autonomous decision.
Moreover, a cross-border coaling of MEPs, including Schaldemose, pushed for a total ban on targeted advertising but faced strong opposition. The landing point was banning targeting only for minors, following a similar compromise reached in the DSA's sister proposal, the Digital Markets Act.
However, the proposal for a total ban is likely to re-emerge via the civil liberties committee (LIBE), an associated committee that might table amendments during the plenary vote. Asked by EURACTIV what her voting indication would be in that case, Schaldemose said that "it depends on the wording."
