During training runs, with the exception of extremely cold or hot days, maintaining body temperature is not a crucial part of the workout. The point of a workout is to stress the body. Working harder when the weather is less than ideal allows the body to acclimatize to either hot or cold weather conditions. However, On unusually warm days one should still pay a particular attention to the heat index to prevent overheating.
Being aware of your body temperature can be critical to one's success during a race. Your body will use more energy trying to maintain its core temperature in extremely hot or cold temperature. If you actively help maintain your bodies temperature, that energy can be then applied to the effort of the race, instead of using the energy to heat or cool your body.
Studies have shown the mid-50s are the most efficient temperature to run in. There is a host of other factors, such as humidity and wind to consider. A 70 degree day with very high humidity can act and feel much hotter than a 70 degree day with no humidity and a light breeze.
The body generates its own heat. All exercise can raise the core body temperature. The more vigorous the exercise, the more heat that is generated. This core temperature can rise several degrees over the course of the workout.
As the core body temperature rises, the body will take steps to maintain its core temperature. The primary method is through the use of sweating. When one sweats, moisture is produced which allows for evaporation, which in turns cools the skin. If everything is working properly, as one works harder the more one will sweat which in turn allows for even more evaporation.
It is necessary to examine how evaporation works. Cooling occurs when the liquid water your body produces is turned into water vapor. There are several factors that influence this process. The most obvious one is how hot it is the air temperature. When temperatures are higher outside the rate of evaporation increases.
Related to that is the temperature of the liquid. The higher the temperature of the liquid, in this case, sweat, the higher rate of evaporation. The next vital factor is the outside relative humidity. The higher the humidity, the lower the rate of evaporation. It becomes increasingly difficult to add more water to air already containing more water moisture. It is also one of the reasons why it feels hotter on humid days.
Another factor is how much liquid your body produces. As it gets hotter, more liquid is needed for more evaporation.
If you maintain a proper ratio of liquid intake to sweating, theoretically you should be able to maintain your body temperature indefinitely.
Another factor is humidity. On extremely humid days, evaporation from the skin is more difficult. On extremely dry hot days, the opposite problem occurs. As the water evaporates quickly, it will not allow for the conduction phase of the evaporation to occur. Conduction is the cooler water transferring, the lower temperature back to the body.
Another process is called convection. This is a factor of the air blowing over the body. Ironically the faster you run, the more efficient your body becomes at cooling itself. Conversely, if one is getting too tired and hot and they come to a complete stop, then there is less air is flowing over the body. This will cause the body temperature to rise even further. This is a crucial concept. If you come to a complete stop to recover, you may increase your bodies core temperature thus pushing yourself into heat exhaustion.
Each factor plays a part in maintaining your body temperature. The first part is how much you sweat, which can vary from person to person. You will produce a greater amount of sweat the hotter your body temperature is which in turn helps maintain the core temperature at a lower level. Understanding how the body tries to regulate its temperature is noteworthy because it will influence how to prepare for both hot and cold conditions. It is necessary to understand each of above factors to help determine the best course of action.
There are multiples ways to influence your body temperature in the heat. On hot days, the first rule is to make sure you are properly hydrating yourself. Be aware the hotter the temperature, the more you will need to maintain your liquid intake. Besides evaporation, the other way to cool your body is through the use of conduction. Simply pouring water on the top of the head and down the back of the neck can help keep the body cool. For women that have longer hair, it is best to leave your hair down as the water in the hair will act as a heat sink and will not dissipate as quickly. On especially hot days bring a bandana, or other cloth that you can use as a wet a drape around your neck.
In the early stages of the run, if you are sweating properly and it is not too hot do not dump water over the entire body. But be careful, Cold water can interfere with the evaporation process. Confine the water you pour on yourself to your head and neck area. Most of the blood will circulate through the main arteries in the neck. This is one of the reasons to keep your neck cool.
In weather, hotter than normal, slow your pace down from the onset. The amount you slow down is based on how hot the temperature will be in the latter stages of the race. Do not wait for your body to become overheated.
Waiting too long to slow down will cause you to slow down 3-4 times more than if you picked the right pace from the beginning.
The choice of clothing is also crucial. Darker clothes absorb more heat than lighter colors. Also, pay attention to the fabric. On extremely hot humid days, you want a fabric that will whisk moisture away from the body and allow for maximum convection. Consider clothing that expose more of the arms such a tank top or singlet. On extremely hot dry days, consider wearing more, not less coverage. Unlike hot, humid days, the rate of evaporation exceeds the body's ability to produce water. It is counter-intuitive but examine how the Desert Bedouin dress. They cover most of their body. The fabric they wear allows for the water to remain on the skin for longer periods of time. In extremely hot and dry conditions wearing a legionnaire hat can be beneficial. This hat has a flap/neck drape that one can constantly dump cool water over to help maintain a lower body temperature.
Cold is much easier to deal with than heat. Simply wearing a heavier fabric with Long sleeves or adding another light layer of clothing is usually sufficient for most races. The body generates heat. With this added layer, there should be enough heat to trap against the body. If the race is in very cold conditions, then dressing in additional layers should be considered. Be aware that most heat is lost through the heads and hands. In very cold conditions, light gloves to protect your hands are a must. Consider bringing a Thermal hat made of fleece or wool.
When adding clothes, it is necessary to dress in a fashion that one can moderate one's temperature as they run. For instance, if you are wearing a windbreaker make sure there is a zipper that can be opened up. Consider using a long-sleeve shirt that is loose enough to able to be pushed or rolled up to expose your arms.
A person that is coming from a winter climate will be more uncomfortable in a race conducted in 70 degree temperatures than a runner that comes from the desert that was training in high temperatures. This link documents the effect. http://www.sportsci.org/encyc/heataccl/heataccl.html . The general consensus is it takes about 14 days to acclimate properly. Generally this concept applies to the extreme temperatures on both end of the scale.
Most of the tips that are given here are to be used during race conditions. During the short training runs, with the exceptions of very hot or cold days, it usually is not necessary to try and mitigate the heat or your body temperature. The run is usually over before your body temp can rise too far. So in effect one can practice acclimatization with out too may adjustments.
There is not a single approach to planning a race. There is a host of factors such as conditioning, acclimatization, race day conditions and other factors to consider. To find the best approach one needs to find the weather report and then set up a personal game plan.
These are some factors to consider.
1, Temperature prior to the race.
2 Temperature at the start of the race.
3, Temperature at the later stages of the race.
6. How heat affects you personally.
The above factors will allow you to dress properly for the race. For instance, if the heat index is high with very high humidity then wearing an outfit that allows your body to sweat is very important.On a bright, hot sunny day, then wearing a light colored top is imperative. If the morning temps are cool, then it is better to dress in layers and dispose of the top layer as the body temperature rises.
Proper Hydration is the single most crucial factor that is in your control. There is a difference between proper hydration and over-hydration. Stocking up on too much water prior to the race is not only counterproductive it can be down right dangerous and lead to Hyponatremia. Hyponatremia can be more of a factor on hot days the heat exhaustion. In fact, it is often misdiagnosed. Never stock up on water prior to a race and follow the rule drink to thirst.
Hyponatremia is invariably a condition that is self-inflicted.
Prior to a race, the adrenal glands will kick in which will in turn divert the blood to the extremities. This is the primary reason so many people desperately need to use the restroom prior the race. A vicious cycle is now being created. By urinating more than normal before the race, can deplete the proper Salt/potassium balance. Which cause more thirst, which then causes you to drink more water, which in turn makes you even more thirsty.
Most runners will only experience premature fatigue. They just think they have an off day or weren't trained properly. However, this can cause severe health problems and even death. In some studies, some of the deaths that have occurred in marathons were attributed to water poisoning(Hyponatremia), not heat stroke.
On potentially hot day, it is a good idea to bring a water bottle to the starting line. A few small sips in the minutes before the race can be beneficial. Avoid "stocking "up in the hours before a race.
On a very hot day, It is necessary to adjust your expectations. For example, if the temperature is over 80 degrees and you run a 9-minute mile you could reasonably expect your time to drop by a minute a mile. If you are facing a hot day, slow down before you start feeling heat. Remember, your core body temperature is also a function of how hard your body is working. If you keep the pace slower than originally planned, you can forestall the negative effects of the heat.
As a loose guideline, expect your pace to drop by 20 seconds per mile for every 5-degree rise in the heat index. This calculation is for runners in the 4-hour range. Runners in the 3-hour range may see only 10 second drop while runners in the 5 hour plus range may see a drop of 30 seconds or more per mile.
If you can make that compensation early in the race, you will have an overall net gain in time compared to runners that ignore the effects of the heat.
Conditions can change during the race. Be aware of those conditions and be flexible enough to change. Temperatures will generally rise as the race progresses. If you are running close to your max capability early in the race, be aware that this factor alone may be enough to send you into a downward spiral.
It is possible that you may not keep up with the hydration to keep yourself sweating properly. Be aware of this. If the temperature has not dropped, and you are not sweating as much as before then you may be heading for trouble. To mitigate the effects of less sweating, when you come to an aid station dump more water over your entire body, not just your head. Instead of evaporation, the body can now be cooled through conduction. Look for spray areas and try and keep your clothing doused with cool water. Many people offer water along the course. Take advantage of this. Slow down.
During the race, aid station will usually be placed at or near every mile marker. On a warm to hot day, it is essential to use these early in the race. For example, if the heat index of the race is over 70 degrees it is best to start using these stations by mile 2. Water is almost always the first drink that is offered. Grab the first cup and dump it on your head and neck. This helps with the conduction phase of cooling. The next cup you grab is the liquid you will drink. Many marathons also supply a sports drink. It is vital to find out which drink are being offered so you can sample it in advance of the race to make sure your body is OK with it. In the early stages of the race, your body may only want a sip or two. If it is exceedingly hot, it may be necessary to take more than one drink at each aid station. For some people that incorporate walk breaks, this may be the perfect opportunity to walk.
If your walk is significantly slower than the run, be aware that one's body temperature may rise during the break. This is because of the convection effect. By standing or walking slowly, there is less air moving over the body. Less flowing air reduces the amount of evaporation, which in turn cause the body to heat up. One trick that does not take up too much energy is move your arms away from your body. While you are walking, slowly move your arms in large circles. By doing this, you create air flow over your body.
As the race progresses, it is essential to monitor your condition. Finishing the race is always the goal, but your health is always more important. Heat Exhaustion and Heatstroke can be deadly. Both can occur in runners that are in excellent shape that ignored the symptoms.
During a hard run or race, we are often pushing our bodies to the max. This effort can raise our core body temperature several degrees.
If you add high temperatures and humidity coupled with the lack of water, or host of other factors one can push their body into dangerous areas. Everyone should be aware of the signs of heat exhaustion. Not only for themselves but also for their fellow runners around them.
Below is a list of warning signs to watch out for.
It is crucial to pay attention to the above symptoms. During a race, these symptoms tend to be progressive. If your symptoms progress past the point of cramping and feeling weak, it is time to stop and seek help. Pushing your body further can lead to serious consequences.
Heat stroke is a dangerous and potentially fatal condition.
The body has lost all ability to self-regulate itself. A person suffering from heat stroke is past the point of being able to self-monitor or help themselves. Any person suffering from heat stroke will need immediate medical assistance. Many of the symptoms mirror those of Heat Exhaustion. The difference is these symptoms tend to be more severe. One significant difference is the color of the skin. Instead of being cool and pale the skin may appear hot, red and dry. A person in this state needs more than a cup of water and rest. They need medical assistance. If you observe a person in this condition, then it is necessary to call 911.
Hyponatremia is another potentially dangerous and even deadly condition. A simplistic description of hyponatremia, is overhydration. Hyponatremia while running, occurs because too much water is being consumed. Sodium,potassium and other electrolytes aren't in proper balanced with the water in one's system. Ironically this overabundance of water causes one to be more thirsty.
Some of the symptoms of hyponatremia are similar to Heat exhaustion such as headaches and vomiting. The one symptom that truly stands out on the onset is bloating. For example, it may be impossible to remove rings from the fingers of a person suffering from Hyponatremia. Hands and other extremities can be visibly swollen.
Hyponatremia is entirely avoidable. Do not stock up on water before a race. Normal hydration is suitable. If you are running on an unusually hot day, make sure mix your water intake with sports drinks or food that contains salt and complex carbohydrates.
Early in the race moderate your water intake. Take sips of water. Listen to your body. If you take a sip or two of water early in the race and your body does not appear to want more then don't stock up. The rule is to drink to thirst.


Even those at risk can prevent this chronic condition by following these simple health rules.
With heart disease being the leading cause of death it's important that you know the best ways to protect yourself from heart disease. Besides seeing your Morristown, NJ cardiologists Dr. Mark Blum, Dr. John Cosmi and Dr. Ira Freilich for checkups, adopt these lifestyle changes if you want to keep heart disease at bay.
One of the major ways to greatly reduce your risk of heart disease is by nixing foods that are high in saturated fat, trans fat and sodium. Instead, eat a diet that is rich in fibrous foods, vegetables, fish, nuts and legumes.
Also, try to cut down on your meat intake. When you do choose to eat meat opt for leaner sources like chicken over red meat, which is higher in saturated fat.
You don't need to become a marathon runner to benefit from exercise. While children should be getting about an hour of exercise every day, healthy adults only need about 150 minutes of moderate aerobic activity a week or 75 minutes a week of vigorous activity.
On top of aerobic exercises you should also incorporate strength training two or more times a week. If you are just starting a workout regime, start slow and then gradually work your way up to this recommended amount of exercise each week.
Even healthy people should have a doctor. Seeing your cardiologist or physician every year for health screenings can protect you from potential health problems. The sooner you can catch issues the easier they usually are to treat in the beginning stages.
Being a smoker or even being exposed to secondhand smoke can be a problem for your health. Those exposed to secondhand smoke are 30 percent more likely to develop lung cancer or heart disease. If you currently smoke you'll be happy to hear that just ditching the habit for good can greatly reduce your risk of heart disease.
Chronic stress can increase both your heart rate and your blood pressure, which can cause damage to your heart. Therefore, it's important to find ways to alleviate your stress to improve your overall health. Discover deep breathing exercises or other ways to manage your stress. Unsure how to quell your stress levels? Talk to your heart doctor in Morristown, NJ about certain techniques to reduce your stress.
If you are concerned about your heart health then it's time to turn to the heart experts at Cardiology Associates of Morristown. Call our office today.

A Southwestern Holiday Tradition
SU hosts its 104th Candlelight Services.
Southwestern University hosts its 104th Candlelight Services Dec. 5.
On Thursday, December 5, 2019, Southwestern's annual holiday tradition of Candlelight Services will take place in the Lois Perkins Chapel. The two evening ceremonies come four days after the start of Advent, a season marking the beginning of the liturgical year and observed by many Christian churches as a celebration of Christ's nativity.
As in previous years, Candelight will occur the Thursday of the last week of fall-semester classes, offering an opportunity to reflect on past achievements and anticipate the future. Widely attended by members of the Georgetown community, the event also brings together the city and campus.
Julianne Snape, interim director of spiritual and religious life and chaplain, is looking forward to her first experience of the tradition. "This will be my first year getting to experience Candlelight!" she says excitedly. "I started in July, so I am really looking forward to the numbers of people gathering together to feel and be filled with the peace, joy, and awe of the service."
Snape adds that this year, "Candlelight will have different voices throughout the service. Each reading will be given by a different person with a unique connection to Southwestern and the Candlelight service. Many of them are clergy or on their way to being ordained, some are lay leaders in their faith communities, and all of them love the beauty and tradition of Candlelight!" Choral and instrumental music will be provided by the Southwestern University Chorale and Singers, conducted by Beth Everett, visiting assistant professor of music. David Polley, university organist and part-time assistant professor of applied music, will also be performing.
Originally called the Christmas Carol Service, the 104-year tradition of Candlelight began under the direction of Phoebe Eleanor Jones Bishop—wife of Dr. Charles McTyeire Bishop, the University's president from 1910 to 1921—with the assistance of Laura Kuykendall, who served Southwestern variously as an instructor of expression, the director of the girls' gymnasium, and the dean of women from 1914 to 1953. The 1915 service consisted of a processional of 125 women singing Christmas hymns while accompanied by the Southwestern University Orchestra. It also included a prayer from one of the Methodist pastors in attendance, the singing of several holiday carols, the reading of a Christmas story, and a buffet dinner. At its inception, Candlelight was described as "the most beautiful and elaborate pre-Christmas entertainment ever given at Southwestern." Today, Snape says that the ceremony captures the spirit of the SU community. "President Burger has mentioned a number of times the importance of spaces where our community can gather together and have a shared experience, and I couldn't agree more," she shares. "These kinds of spaces for congregating and sharing are rare, significant, grounding, and memorable. There is something magical, or perhaps mystical, about each person carrying their light among the many and then out into the world together."
Southwestern welcomes all members of the campus and Georgetown communities to these long-cherished festivities. The two ceremonies are free to attend and will begin at 6:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m. on Thursday, December 5, 2018, in the Lois Perkins Chapel. A hot cocoa reception, hosted by the University and the Georgetown chapter of the Alumni Association, will take place at 7:00 p.m. in the Bishops Lounge in the McCombs Campus Center.
The 6:00 p.m. service will be live-streamed for online viewing. On Thursday, December 5, click here to watch the Candlelight Service online. Please note: the link will not go live until December 5.

Facebook seems to have hit the right chord with users at long last. With falling Facebook users, a flop Facebook smartphone, a flop Facebook Home, the things were quite miserable at Menlo Park. But the Instagram Video has taken the tech world by storm. It had unprecedented popularity on the first day of launch with 5 million videos being upload in the 24 hour period.
The above pic describes how the Instagram Video can be uploaded with filters,frames etal in three flat steps. And that seems to have worked the magic for Facebook. You can read all about Facebook's Instagram Video and download it here.
After attempting to promote 'Vine' on the day of Instagram Video release, today Twitter released a update for Android devices for 'Vine' to clear cache memory. How is this useful. I will explain in plain vanilla English.
The 'Vine' lets you play the 6 second videos in a loop which mean that they are first downloaded into your smart phones memory and stored and played natively. Hence you get the nice loopy video that you can watch. However, day in day out of downloading the 6 second videos means a unnecessary waste of memory. Vine does not have a limit for cache memory so pretty soon you will find out you have used a lot of memory. There was a workaround available to clear the memory but nothing like a within App button to clear the cache in a zip.
Vine Engineers identified the problem and the new update gives you just that. A button within the App to clear the cache memory in a jiffy.

Tag Archives: Suicide Squad
Posted on August 10, 2016 by backpocketentertainment
This film tries to hit the same strides as movies such as Escape from New York and Assualt on Precinct 13 but harsh tonal shifts make it feel more like Breakfast Club meets Scooby Doo. Both scenarios would have made for a fantastic movie going experiance but the structural and narrative problems of Suicide Squad are nearly as insurmountable as the villians the title characters face in thier first outing in the DC extended universe.
We begin with an introduction to each of our main characters with a mix of flash back and clunky exposition that drags the structure and pacing down as every time the audience is asked to engage in a proper narative through line the backstory ends abruptly and we are brought back to the present. Each flash back eludes to enough material for an entire films worth of story and only the characters of, Deadshot, Harley Quinn and El Diablo are treated to these scenes. The rest of the cast is relegated a few lines of expostion to establish the characters, mere moments before they are relevent.
The most glaring example would be the character of Katana whose deep and rich history is glossed over in a handfull of throwaway lines.
This wouldn't be that much of an issue if the characters were allowed to interact in such a way that would justify any emotional connection between them. It's here where the sloppiness of the editing and pacing really comes through. It seems clear that alot of the connective tissue and scenes of the squad bonding have been cut out and the resulting "family" they claim to have become by the end, is justified by what can only be described as emotional jump cuts in the narrative.
The structure of the film would have been much better served had the extended flashbacks been removed and more focus on character interaction had been a priority. None of these issues are helped by the flimsy plot, and villian whose motivations are almost nonexistent. Echantress is given an introductory montage but quickly succumbs to "lets destory the world because, reasons" syndrome that seems to be plagueing most recent blockbuster movie bad guys.
The films cinematography also leaves something to be desired as the film lacks much sense of scope and all the major action sequences seem to be constructed in medium shots and close ups with very few,if any, wide or establishing shots.
The sets, costumes, and performaces all do justice to the source material. It's just a shame the movie surrounding all that wasn't better constructed. Viola Davis gives a superb performance as Amanda Waller and presents a chilling and rich characterization without the need for extended flashbacks or clunky exposition. If only the filmmakers could have struck that same balance with the rest of the cast.
As it stands, intriguing visuals, excellent acting and some fun DC extended universe world building make this worth watching. But sloppy structure and pacing keep Suicide Squad from greatness.

FBI Source to Fox News: Agents Are 'Livid' About Clinton-Lynch Meeting[W:140]
Thread starter MickeyW
MickeyW
FBI agents are "livid" about Attorney General Loretta Lynch's meeting with Bill Clinton, Fox News chief intelligence correspondent Catherine Herridge reported today on Outnumbered.
Herridge said that, according to a well-placed FBI source, the agents are not just upset about the poor optics of the meeting.
She explained that Bill Clinton is a potential witness because the FBI is separately investigating corruption allegations against the Clinton Foundation.

One thing on my bucket list, is to see both Clintons, charged and convicted on money laundering and other racketeering charges....and sent to prison for a long time....probably for life, given their ages.

Ahhhh...why indeed.
CJ...are you saying you have not seen the unrelenting and unbridled HATRED of Hillary Clinton from a segment of the DP participants?
Surely you have.
It is more like a respect for the equal justice anyone else but the Clintons would and should face.
Nah. It is the unrelenting HATRED that some people must spew toward Hillary and Bill.
Back when Bill Clinton was elected, it was thought that American conservatives pretty much had a lock on the presidency. It was thought that NO person could be elected to that office if the conservative American said "absolutely not."
Conservative America said "absolutely not" to Bill Clinton's candidacy...and he got elected.
That was more than they could take...and the hated for Bill and Hillary grew like Topsy.
It is kinda fun to watch it in play.
Oh, yeah, this is about "righteous anger for any law abiding citizen"...whatever you meant by that.

Well, what do you expect?
House Clinton thinks it can take on the largest paramilitary organization on the planet.
Such arrogance has its consequences...
How about the Clintons unbridled disrespect and outright hatred for our laws? That you equate people wanting justice to hate is no more than a defense mechanism built into every Clinton supporter.
It is no more than name calling to marginalize critisism and the people that do it, and does nothing to change the lawless behavior that people are fed up with.

This has to be one of the least secret secret meetings ever.
I'm sure FBI sources were just clamoring to talk to FoxNews about their feelings....as if that alone wouldn't taint the investigation...and violate strict orders not to talk to the press.
It is the unrelenting hatred of people like you for the Clintons...for their crime of showing conservative America it doesn't have nearly the power it supposes it has.
That will become even more evident when Hillary is elected to the presidency in November.

Strict orders to the FBI and Secret Service (of which many were attending) no pictures, no phone calls..no nothing. Some local television sleuth, another Bernstein of Watergate fame, uncovered the 30 minute meeting.

Fox's FBI source is imaginary. Like much of their reportage.
I have no idea what really transpired or what they talked about on the tarmac. From what I do know it looks like Bill Clinton put Lynch in a very precarious situation and...didn't do Hillary any favors, either.
Because of Bill doing and saying things on his own...there was some concern among the left about him participating in Hillary's 2008 campaign election as well. It looks like this might be one of those things.
American conservatives will never politically "unite" with anyone. My guess is they will EXCESS themselves to extinction.
Sooner the better.
There was no "threat" in what I said. I mentioned that American conservatism does not have as much power as it supposes it does...and that the election of Hillary Clinton will confirm that.
If you want to keep a meeting secret...you do not have dozens of people around. There was nothing secret about that meeting.
It probably would have been better if it had not taken place...but it did. To call it a secret is like calling a meeting of congress a secret.

Negatives: I don't know where to begin on all the negatives. I could write 3 pages full of things that have caused me to decide to leave CNU as fast as I possibly could. I will start with the students. Most of the students at CNU are VERY conservative and close minded. If you are not totally conservative, white, Christian, and rich, you will have a tough time making friends. Being from Nova where there is a lot of diversity, I found it weird being surrounded by people who are all exactly the same. I am white and Christian, however not close-minded at all. When I first got there, I tried to be as friendly and outgoing as possible, only to find that people reciprocated with a snotty, off-standish attitude. People were NOT interested in making friends, and if they did not know you already they had no interest in meeting you.
Academic Life: Nobody outside of Virginia has heard of CNU, and even a lot of Virginians have never heard of it. CNU does not like this. When I received grades back from professors, I found it bizarre at how harshly graded some of my assignments were. It's no question that CNU is out to make a name for itself academically speaking, and therefore professors are extremely unfair graders. Luckily for me I studied every single night in order to attain a high GPA so I could transfer out. You might find yourself doing the same.
Campus: Yes the campus is nice looking. But let's be honest, what college campus isn't nice looking? I'd say 90% of campuses across the U.S. look very well kept and well manicured. Campus asthetics are pretty much all CNU has got going for them. The Freeman Center (the college gym) may seem nice at first, with a wide variety of equipment, however it is way too small. If you go at a peak work out time, you will find yourself waiting for an elliptical or a weight machine.
Food: The Campus food is absolutely HORRIBLE. I can't stress this enough. You should invest in a year's supply of pepto bismol before you come here, because you will have indigestion, heartburn and diarrhea at least 6 days a week. The one day you don't is because you ate off campus or ate grocery store bought food in your dorm. As a freshman you are required to spend $1560 per semester on food that is barely edible. Numerous times I found hair and other assorted objects in my food. At least there is a wide variety of nasty food you can eat. You will gain way more than the Freshman 15 by eating this campus food. It is all Southern style with extra grease and oil.
Dorms: Most people have the misconception that the dorms at CNU are 5-star hotels rooms. Not at all. I lived in York River, where a lot of Freshmen stay. I literally have seen closets that are bigger than my room was. Not to mention I shared it with someone, as well as a tiny bathroom with 3 other people. At least I had a view I guess? It is really luck of the draw on room assignments. You may get a big room on the top floor with a lovely view of a gas station and construction on Warwick Blvd. But Dorm Life is NOT a good reason to choose CNU.
Surrounding City: Newport News is a dump. Honestly. The Warwick Blvd Construction Project causes a ton of traffic and there is nothing to do, just a suburban town. The one nice place is Huntington Park on the James River, about 4 miles from campus. It is a very nice park that not many people use, and I definitely enjoyed going there often. But other than that, there's nothing exciting. The local mall, Patrick Henry mall, is pathetic. Crime wise, it isn't the safest place around. In short, NN is lame.
Social Life: Let me tell you about the so-called "party scene" at CNU. Before I went to CNU, I had been warned by several people that CNU was a dry campus, and that the social life was not all that great. I ignored these warnings, and told myself that I was sure I would find good parties anyway. When I got to CNU, I found that parties consist of a guy-girl ratio of about 70-30, a keg that is tapped by 10:30pm, and overcrowded rooms full of bad-attitudes. Not to mention that they are all of campus, and you have to find a ride to get there. This creates the problem of drunk driving, and unfortunately a student was killed by a drunk driver during the first semester. Second semester, I stopped partying completely. I found that it was more fun to stay in my dorm and watch a movie then to go to a CNU party. It was that bad.
Alcohol policy: Heed my warning, CNU IS A DRY CAMPUS. It is not worth it to drink in your room, period. Unfortunately I got slammed with an alcohol violation that landed me several hours of community service. Long story short, I was not responsible at all but still got punished for being aware that others were drinking. Other reviews have said that RA's and Resident staff go looking for underage drinking in the dorms, and this is completely true. Every night, there are "hall checks" in which dorm staff go searching for possible alcohol violations. It is absolutely ridiculous. Oh, and an article in the CNU newspaper stated that the University Board recently voted against changing the dry campus policy. Looks like CNU will continue to be dry for quite a while. What a perfect time to transfer!
Overall, I found my experience at CNU to be a very negative one. I wasted $18K to come to this place and be unhappy for a very long 9 months. While my review may seem biased, consider this: I came to CNU with a positive attitude, and was determined to make it the best college experience possible. Unfortunately, it did not matter. All of the negative aspects of CNU surfaced as the year progressed, no matter how hard I tried to enjoy myself. When people come see tours of the school, all they see is the nice campus. They do not see all the underlying awful things CNU has to hide.
Think long and hard about coming to CNU. If you are coming because you did not get into Tech or JMU, just go to Radford, VCU, or ODU. Those schools will provide you with a much better social life and you will actually enjoy your freshman year. I would not recommend coming to CNU to my worst enemy.

Originally from Ireland, Beck's a TiNe (INTP) mastermind. He likes Googling everything, reading Orson Scott Card books, playing Go, and programming.
When he's not explaining the mysteries of the human psyche, you'll find him practicing Swedish, Japanese, or Esperanto or in the kitchen making bacon, steak, or (paleo) cookies.
As with any romantic relationship, the first 6 months of being involved with the TiNe will be really exciting. During this time, your differences will be downplayed and you will both probably try to mirror each other a lot to feel connected. I'm an FeSi, and the first 6 months of dating my (now husband) TiNe was thrilling.
"When we first began our journey of building what is today the Emergence Assessment, we were looking for a unicorn that had the knowledge and skills to take an idea and turn it into reality. We needed someone that had the credibility and experience in the field of personality type, and knew it was going to be a pain to find them.
We assumed that the person we found wouldn't be able to understand our needs and would require a lot of hand-holding. We were also worried it would take longer than expected, or wouldn't meet the quality standards we were looking for.
What stood out about Beckett from the start was his confidence and easy-going attitude about the whole project. He spoke as if it was easy and already done. And overall, the experience was easy. The best part of working with Beckett was being surprised by his consistent over-delivering. He was always open to our ideas and thoughts and implemented everything he could, but he pushed back when he knew things wouldn't work. This was much appreciated.
"I have found Beck to have a profound ability to identify the links that connect people in their efforts to establish effective communication with one another. His ability to understand widely varying personality types and provide strategies to overcome and connect in spite of those differences is unparalleled in my experience.
"For the first time in my life, I felt like I had an insight into how my brother functions. I began to realize that habits of his weren't dysfunctional or backward, that he was just operating out of the core of his type. Knowing that his behavior was normal and actually REASONABLE, it helped me to stop picking at him, stop judging him, and begin to enjoy who he was.

Prescriptive ACI are access controls that are applied to a collection of entries, not just to a single entry. Collections of entries are defined by the subtreeSpecifications of subentries. Hence prescriptive ACI are added to subentries as attributes and are applied by ApacheDS to the entries selected by the subentry's subtreeSpecification. ApacheDS uses the prescriptiveACI multivalued operational attribute within subentries to contain ACIItems that apply to the entry collection.
Prescriptive ACI can save much effort when trying to control access to a collection of resources. Prescriptive ACI can even be specified to apply access controls to entries that do not yet exist within the DIT. They are a very powerful mechanism and for this reason they are the preferred mechanism for managing access to protected resources. ApacheDS is optimized specifically for managing access to collections of entries rather than point entries themselves.
Users should try to avoid entry ACIs whenever possible, and use prescriptive ACIs instead. Entry ACIs are more for managing exceptional cases and should not be used excessively.
**How it works!** For every type of LDAP operation, ApacheDS checks to see if any access control subentries include the protected entry in their collection. The set of subentries which include the protected entry are discovered very rapidly by the subentry subsystem. The subentry subsystem caches subtreeSpecifications for all subentries within the server so inclusion checks are fast. For each access control subentry in the set, ApacheDS checks within a prescriptive ACI cache for ACI tuples. ApacheDS also caches prescriptive ACI information in a special form called ACI tuples. This is done so ACIItem parsing and conversion to an optimal representations for evaluation is not required at access time. This way access based on prescriptive ACIs is determined very rapidly.

Le château de Gerbaix est un ancien château fort, du , centre de la seigneurie de Gerbaix, dont les ruines se dressent sur la commune française de Gerbaix dans le département de Savoie en région Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes.

Localisation
Les ruines du château de Gerbaix sont situées dans le département français de Savoie sur la commune de Gerbaix, à l'ouest du bourg, au hameau des Brets, au lieu-dit « Le Château », à  d'altitude, au sommet d'un mamelon.

Historique
Le château, qui serait cité depuis le , est la possession de la famille de Gerbaix, qui nous est connu depuis 1203.

En 1244, le seigneur de Gerbaix conclu un arbitrage avec le prieur de Yenne.

Le château passe à la famille de Rivoire, à la suite du mariage d'Eygline de Gerbaix et de Louis Rivoire, chevalier, seigneur de Domessin et Rochefort, qui en est investi en 1359.

Noble Berlion de Rivoire, seigneur de Gerbais et de Romagnieu, fils de Louis de Rivoire, épouse à Yenne, le , Catherine, fille d', surnommé le bâtard de Savoie, fils bâtard du comte Aymon de Savoie. Sont présents entre autres Pierre d'Ameysin, chevalier, et Guigues de Sômont, damoiseau.

Le château est en 1514 à Laurent de Gorrevod, seigneur de Gerbaix par mariage, écuyer du duc de Savoie  dit le Beau, gouverneur de Bresse en 1504 et chef des finances en 1510 de Marguerite d'Autriche, à la suite de son mariage en secondes noces, en 1509, avec Claude Rivoire, dame de Montanay et de Gerbaix, fille de Louis de Rivoire (1483), seigneur de Gerbaix, de Belmont et de Lay, et, de Marguerite d'Albon.

Il est de 1679, jusqu'à la Révolution française, la propriété de la famille Costa de Beauregard.

Description
Le château de Gerbaix se présente sous la forme de plusieurs enceintes concentriques. La plus à l'extérieur, est flanquée de tours demi-circulaires, étant la plus tardive. Elles enserrent un logis rectangulaire, avec dans ses angles opposés en diagonale, deux tours carrées. Une citerne complète l'ensemble.

Dans les parties hautes de l'une des deux tours du logis, Laurent de Gorrevod, en 1514, y avait sa bibliothèque.

Riverside, California (NAPSI) - For some homeowners, a deck is an extension of what makes a house a home. It can be a place to retreat to after a long, work-filled week as well as a place to spend time with family and friends.
For some, a deck can even serve as a way to express environmental values. That's the word from the California Redwood Association (CRA).
According to the Association, when California homeowners were asked about their choice of decking material, 75 percent of those surveyed said that it's important for their deck to be eco friendly. Ninety percent believed a deck should be recycled and reused, not dumped in a landfill.
Unfortunately, it can be confusing for builders and homeowners to know what's sustainable and what's not. To demonstrate that redwood may be the most environmentally friendly building material available, the CRA commissioned a life-cycle assessment. This process is commonly used to quantify the environmental footprint generated when producing and consuming products that are used in everyday life.
The result of the assessment is the finding that redwood may be considered one of the most environmentally responsible building materials available.
For instance, it is a renewable resource that is grown and harvested under the most stringent forestry regulations. Using nothing more than the energy from the sun, and the careful management of redwood forests, redwood is renewable, recyclable and cleaner to produce than composites or plastics.
In addition, when lumber is milled into decking and other products, the bark, sawdust and scrapings are collected and used to produce clean energy. Sawmills are able to use this biomass energy to power their operations and add excess electricity to the state's power grid, taking redwood's energy efficiency to a level that manufactured materials never reach.
With redwood, you can be environmentally conscientious without sacrificing quality or elegance. Plastics and composites rely on chemical resins and fossil fuels that release carbon and increase emissions.
Trees, however, take carbon out of the air and store it in wood fiber. It's estimated that a redwood deck can store more than a half ton of carbon, which keeps the carbon safely out of the air, helps reduce emissions and helps to lower a homeowner's carbon footprint.

to have been taken sometime after October 1973.
The first railway to open in the Epsom and Ewell area was the London, Brighton and South Coast Railway's (LBSCR) line from West Croydon via Sutton which opened in 1847 with trains from London Bridge and from 1860 Victoria. This line terminated at a station in what is today called Upper High Street, but was then called Station Road.
The second railway to open, on 4 April 1859, was the London and South Western Railway's (LSWR) line from Waterloo via a junction just east of Wimbledon station to a station on the site of the present Epsom station. The Epsom tracks running parallel to the Main Line, to diverge at "Epsom Junction", the future site of Raynes Park station.
In 1859 a single track line opened from Epsom to Leatherhead which was jointly owned by LBSCR and LSWR. LSWR trains used this section of line from 1 Feb 1859 with LBSCR running trains from 8 August via a link line built from Epsom's LBSCR station to the LSWR station. The LBSCR trains ran through the Epsom LSWR station without stopping. Later the line became double track and continued from Leatherhead to Dorking and Horsham with this section initially being promoted by the Hosham, Dorking & Leatherhead Railway which was absorbed by the LBSCR in 1864. The new route opened on 11 March 1867, the LBSCR having a new through station in Leatherhead, which is still in use, while the remains of the separate LSWR station (initially a terminus) can be seen on the opposite side of Station Road. It was not until 2 February 1885 that this also became a through station, when the LSWR extended its line from Leatherhead to Bookham and Effingham Junction. Trains ran through to Horsley or Guildford, because Effingham Junction station itself did not open until July 1888.
On 1 January 1923, the LBSCR and LSWR companies were absorbed (along with other railways in Kent) into Southern Railway. This new railway company was split into three divisions: - Central (the ex-LBSCR lines); South Eastern (the Kent lines); and South Western (the ex-LSWR lines), with the ex-LBSCR station being renamed Epsom Town.
In 1925 the railways in Epsom were electrified using the third rail system.
After Grouping, the Southern Railway clearly had no need to maintain two stations in both Leatherhead and Epsom. At Leatherhead, a short connection was built in 1927 to allow Effingham Junction trains to use the LBSCR station - as they still do today. The tracks were retained into, though not beyond, the LSWR station for use as carriage sidings; no doubt the old platforms provided convenient access for carriage cleaners, these being in use up to the early 1970s and the lines were only removed after the bridge over Randalls Road was damaged by a lorry. At Epsom, the LSWR premises were demolished and completely rebuilt into the station's present form, allowing trains from both lines to call at its platforms from 3 March 1929. On the same date the LBSCR station was closed to passengers, but retained for many years as a goods depot.
Since then the railways have stayed much the same. In 1948 the railways were nationalised and the Southern Railway became the Southern Region of British Railways (later just British Rail). The three Divisions continued as before.
In the late 1980s, Network South East was created as a focus for the railways in the South East of England. One of the first major projects (apart from painting all the lamp posts red) was to reopen the Snow Hill tunnel (in the City of London) which linked the railways of North and South London, and Thameslink was created. A new service, Luton to Guildford was introduced which ran via St Albans, West Hampstead, Kings Cross Thameslink, St Paul's Thameslink, Blackfriars, Elephant & Castle, Herne Hill, West Croydon, Sutton, Epsom, Leatherhead, Bookham and Effingham Junction. This route operated for only a few years as although the trains were direct they were slow.
When the railways were privatised, two of the newly created Train Operating Companies served Epsom: Network South Central for the ex LBSCR lines (which has had various names, but is now called Southern) and South West Trains for the ex LSWR lines.

A significant amount of research has been done in an attempt to improve the outcomes of patients found in cardiac arrest outside the hospital. The American Heart Association has long advocated Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS), a procedure that encompasses cycles of chest compressions with advanced airway maintenance and defibrillation. Recent evidence has suggested that these current guidelines are ineffective due to prolonged "hands off" time. New research suggests utilizing a technique known as continuous chest compression CPR that delays advanced airway management and instead focuses on defibrillation and continuous chest compressions. Across the country, research has demonstrated that when EMS providers utilize this technique and have support from the receiving hospital, survival to hospital discharge rates have increased from 4.7% (using standard ACLS) to 17.6% (with the new technique). The Newark (OH) Fire Department protocols were modified to implement continuous chest compression CPR for the care of patients in cardiac arrest. The present research analyzes quality improvement (QI) / quality assurance (QA) data from this fire department to determine how the change in protocol affected patient outcome. The results of this study suggest that patient outcome is not related to the type of cardiac arrest treatment provided by EMS.

A: Your inner-most query block is query string i.e.
QueryStringQueryBuilder queryString = QueryBuilders
        .queryStringQuery(String.join(" OR ", exactMatchThese));

This is the query part of nested query hence we create a nested query and assign the above query to it as written below,
NestedQueryBuilder nestedQuery = QueryBuilders
    .nestedQuery("events.recommendationData", queryString, ScoreMode.None);

Finally add the above query to the filter clause of bool query,
BoolQueryBuilder boolQuery = QueryBuilders.boolQuery().filter(nestedQuery);

All together this is,
QueryStringQueryBuilder queryString = QueryBuilders
    .queryStringQuery(String.join(" OR ", exactMatchThese));
NestedQueryBuilder nestedQuery = QueryBuilders
    .nestedQuery("events.recommendationData", queryString, ScoreMode.None);
BoolQueryBuilder boolQuery = QueryBuilders.boolQuery().filter(nestedQuery);

Lindsay is a graduate of SFU's School for the Contemporary Arts, with a focus in theatre performance. She has studied Viewpoints and Suzuki techniques with Anne Bogart & The SITI Company at their intensive in New York, and continues to train in these methods. Other trainings include Grotowski & Fowler techniques, as well as clown work, extensive vocal and dance training.
Miranda Huba is an award-winning playwright originally from Canada, now based in New York City. She is a founding member of TigerMilk Collective. Plays include: The History Of My Domestication (commissioned by Playwrights Theatre Centre, Vancouver and also produced at NYC's The Red Room.) Hospital City (Video-In Studios, Vancouver and staged reading at Stage Left Studio, NYC.) and The Tour (Vancouver and Victoria Fringe Festivals). Recently her play, House of KOSA, received its world premiere in Canada as part of Vancouver's acclaimed SEE SEVEN new theatre series. Her latest play Grounded: A Play in Six Airports is being promoted in Germany as part of the publication New Canadian Drama- a partnership between the Canadian Department of Canadian Heritage and the Theatre Institute in Berlin. She is represented by the PER H. LAUKE VERLAG Agency in Germany. Most recently she was invited to Vancouver to co-create the site- specific theatre piece You Are Invited with HIVE 3 and the Cultural Olympiad. In June 2010 she performed her latest one-woman show Candy Tastes Nice at HERE in NYC as part of their Summer Sublet Series. She earned a BFA from the SFU School for the Contemporary Arts and has participated in three Pataphysics playwriting workshops with The Flea Theatre (13P, Erik Ehn and Mac Wellman). Coming up you will be able to see a new Huba work commissioned by Animal Parts Theatre Company at Horse Trade Theatre in NYC in Spring 2011.
Olivia Delachanal is a proud co-founder of TigerMilk Collective - this company has given her the immense privilege of directing unique plays: Sky, Freeport Texas, Hospital City, Stupid LIttle Girls and House of Kosa.

At the age of 17, she moved to Wales to study at United World College of the Atlantic where she was introduced to Brecht and Grotowski. She could not believe that there were other people out there who had, long before her time, tried to find language for the indescribable power of performance. After high school and deciding not to study International politics, Stephanie joined the ensemble at Simon Fraser University School of Contemporary arts in Vancouver, Canada. She formed a company with five other SFU alumni, The Tigermilk Collective, and together they wrote, acted in and produced shows in shopping malls, art galleries and small theaters. Stephanie also played the lead in an independent feature film. When her visa ran out, she decided to go back to the homeland where she began writing plays and started a pop band with friends. Workshops, auditions and dance classes. The winters in Sweden are dark.
In 2008, after a traveling to Mongolia on the trans-siberian railway, Stephanie was accepted to the MFA program in acting at Yale School of Drama where she has been honing her craft as an actor.

Here's something I realized during the Medellin self-awakening and transformation event. As long as you seek to heal yourself and improve your own personal life, your energy field can expand up to about 16 feet and you will stagnate there. In order for your energy to expand beyond that, you must get out of the boundaries of a fixed job and start doing what your heart is telling you. Additionally, when you step into something bigger, all the smaller stuff falls into proper place much more easily.
Additionally, I was at CEO Space last week and was studying the world-class teachers. All those who are flowing through unbelievable success have specific aspects of their energy field expanding at least to the sky and even up to the moon. Those who are nearly enlightened have their energy expanding to the cosmos, and those who are enlightened have their energy expanding all the way to the stars, which means they are one with the source. I have yet to meet a single person having all aspects of his energy perfectly enlightened, but Jacques Tombazian who taught me Alchemy comes very close.
There seems to be a few interesting boundaries or milestones in terms of alignment and empowerment of your energy.
If your objective for self-transformation is external, you may be able to expand your energy field up to about 4 feet.
If you seek to improve your own personal life and are stuck in the boundaries of a fixed job and standard lifestyle, your energy field can expand up to about 16 feet.
There is a transition point where you must listen to your heart and go where it is leading you in order to continue evolving. That being said, if you step into your life purpose and launch a business while still having major blocks (such as having aspects expanding 2 feet), it will be difficult and you will be faced with challenges. I recommend this transition when all aspects expand at least 4 feet with some strengths expanding between 8 and 16 feet.
The majority of people at CEO Space had many aspects of their energy field expanding between 1km and 5km. Those having their energy expanding between 1km and 99km seem to be struggling through success.
There seems to be another transition point when their energy reaches the sky on a few specific aspects. At that point, they flow through success instead of struggling through success. All great teachers and celebrities have their energy expanding at least up to the sky on specific key aspects related to success.
Berny Dohrmann, the founder of CEO Space, has all masculine aspects of his energy expanding to the cosmos and all feminine aspects of his energy expanding to the sky.
David Neagle, from who I just got the Miracle of Money Mentor Certification, has all masculine aspects of his energy expanding to the cosmos and all feminine aspects of his energy expanding to the moon.
The most evolved people have their masculine traits stagnating at a certain level and their feminine traits stagnating at a different level. By doing a lot of healing, their energy becomes very stable at these two different levels. I'm not yet sure why their energy stagnates in such a way. I suspect it has to do with limitations of the core beliefs from which they built their strengths. If that's the case, it would require identifying where their core beliefs are limiting them in order for them to grow further. That's another milestone.
Where do you currently stand in all this? What do you need to do in order to evolve to the next level?

I'd hypothesize that a person may stagnate at a certain energy level is so that they can fulfill an experience that was coming down in their vibrational "pipeline," so to speak. Maybe their Whole Self is choosing to stagnate expansion to smell the roses. Physical self can assimilate changes and take some time to experience their new found expansion. Meaning be a great teacher, healer, artist etc.
I also would think that peoples' masculine and feminine energies stagnate at different levels because they are physical beings, therefore sexual, and therefore they have a polarity charge. Does perfect enlightenment mean that your masculine and feminine energies are equal?

Lenovo Recalls Certain ThinkPad X1 Carbon Laptops Over Fire Risk
By Michael Kan
The affected laptops contain an unfastened screw, which can damage the lithium-ion battery inside, Lenovo said. The recall applies to over 80,000 laptop units sold in US, Canada.
Lenovo is recalling over 80,000 ThinkPad X1 Carbon laptops because they potentially pose a fire hazard.
The laptops actually contain an unfastened screw inside that can damage the lithium-ion battery, and trigger overheating or a fire, Lenovo said on Monday.
The problem applies to fifth-generation ThinkPad X1 laptops sold between Dec. 2016 and Nov. 2017, according to the US Product Safety Commission. About 78,000 of these models were sold to the US, while another 5,500 were sold to Canada.
Lenovo has released a support document that can help customers identify whether they own an affected laptop. The company is offering the inspections and repairs free-of-charge.
HP Recalls Laptop Batteries Over Fire Risk
So far, Lenovo hasn't received any reports of the faulty X1 Carbons hurting anyone. However, the vendor is still suggesting that affected laptop owners immediately stop using the product. Lithium-ion batteries are known to easily catch fire or even explode whenever punctured. The damage can cause the battery cells inside to short circuit and spark a buildup of heat that can quickly become dangerous.
Lenovo said it learned about the issue several weeks ago. Three customers had reported their laptops overheating, resulting in damage to the products. The PC maker conducted an investigation, and found the culprit: a small unfastened screw that had been left in laptops during their manufacture. Lenovo has since fixed the problem on the supply side.
The company has a website that can help customers locate a warranty provider to perform the repair service. U.S. and Canada residents can also contact Lenovo Services at 1 800-426-7378 for help.

Partnerships for Forests supported the development of a joint framework for action to end deforestation and forest degradation related to global cocoa production while improving the livelihoods of smallholder farmers working in the cocoa supply chain.
Cocoa is a key driver of deforestation and accounts for 25 percent and 15 percent of deforestation in Côte d'Ivoire and Ghana respectively — the world's largest cocoa producing nations.
To address this, in March 2017, at a meeting hosted by His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, 12 of the world's leading cocoa and chocolate companies agreed to an industry Statement of Intent committing to work in partnership with governments, companies, civil society and other stakeholders, to end deforestation and forest degradation in the global cocoa supply chain.
Signatories to the Statement of Intent committed to develop a joint public-private Framework for Action to address deforestation through wide consultative processes, signed by government and industry, and presented at COP23 in November 2017.
This is the first ever collective industry commitment aimed at bringing deforestation and forest degradation within the global cocoa supply chain to an end. A total of 35 cocoa and chocolate companies have now signed up to the initiative.
promote regional harmony, learning, and monitoring to support the regional platform for the cocoa sector.
The Frameworks for Action were agreed on 16 November 2017 and launched at the UNFCCC COP23 in Bonn. The process brought together more than 500 stakeholders, including chocolate and cocoa companies, high-level government officials, development partners, environmental and civil society organisations, as well as farmer associations.

In July, industry players defined public-private actions to halt deforestation and forest degradation by 2020. These include establishing a unified traceability system, implementing agroforestry in cocoa production and creating of a public-private fund for forest preservation.
Over two years of P4F support, the CFI has expanded from the original 12 private sector signatories to 35. With their backing, the national governments of Ghana and Côte d'Ivoire each launched implementation plans in August 2018, aimed at providing the necessary enabling environment for the cocoa sector players to positively contribute to the preservation of forests in both countries.
35 CFI participating companies are now finalising their detailed individual action plans.
On 5 November, The Prince of Wales met senior government representatives from Ghana and Côte d'Ivoire and international business leaders to discuss sustainable practice in the cocoa industry and key environmental issues.
Prince Charles meets global business leaders from the cocoa and chocolate industry members of CFI.
With concerted efforts from all sector agents, private sector, development partners and cocoa farmers, the CFI is a valuable opportunity to eliminate the deforestation footprint in the cocoa supply chain and improve the livelihoods of cocoa farmers.

Either from the English occupational surname, or else directly from the English word
Such a reassuring presence, and so charming! Without a doubt, Bishop doesn't leave one feeling indifferent. Calm, composed and well-balanced, it is important to him to bring happiness to those around him, and for those same people to recognise his value. Furthermore, in order to achieve these objectives, he won't hesitate to use a few formidable weapons: a smile, a favour, kindness, tact, diplomacy and even cunning. His natural inclination is to beauty and perfection; he is of a scrupulous nature and is very sensitive to his perceived responsibilities towards his family who he is concerned about disappointing. In this respect, their influence is a long way from being insignificant. He is a sensitive, emotional and intuitive soul, who is brave and determined, most of the time. In the face of hostility, or if he feels misunderstood, he will occasionally disappear into his inner sanctuary of daydreams. As you may have guessed, he's a lover and not a fighter. He is capable of great accomplishments and may decide to invest in certain associations or movements, most likely of a humanitarian, political or artistic orientation. But to achieve this he needs a little encouragement from his friends and family. This way, he could reveal himself to be the innovative soul that he really is, one who deep down, is rather utopian. As a child, it isn't a good idea to abuse his wisdom by giving him too many responsibilities, because there really is a fine line between devotion and self-sacrifice, one that it is best not to cross... Neither should he be overprotected because this could result in him choosing the path of irresponsibility, apathy and nonchalance... With the karmic 6, his disposition can swing from one extreme to the other... As parents you could easily influence his future career choices, so avoid letting your expectations and wishes overshadow his own.
A true messenger of peace, Bishop requires harmony to prevail in his world: it is necessary to his very equilibrium, so taking care of those he loves is certainly his priority. Actually, if it came to the crunch, his heart could experience a dilemma: his soul is soothed by the gentleness of Isabelle's voice and her soft, smiling eyes, Christina is the most beautiful woman he has ever laid eyes on and everytime he looks at her it takes his breath away. On the other hand there is Cecilia who is just so funny and carefree, he feels really good with her... You get the idea. It's true that his high expectations and yearning for perfection can verge on obsessional at times, but even so, this is a man whose company is extremely pleasant and easy. Sensual and gourmet, he would be happiest in the heart of a cosy family home with a woman who knows what he's worth, and would make a wonderful father.
If he doesn't take over the family business, which is often the case, areas of professional interest could be of an esthetic nature (decoration or perfumery, he could be a florist, a stylist or a joiner...), possibly artistic, culinary, or gastronomic..., a career linked to health and social care, or in connection with comfort and the home (real estate...), and professions which necessitate accuracy and attention to detail.

President signs Iraq spending bill
WASHINGTON (CNN) - President Bush signed the $120 billion Iraq war funding bill Friday evening at Camp David, the White House announced.
"Congress voted yesterday to provide our troops with the funding and flexibility they need to protect our country,and I was pleased to sign the bill today," said the president in a written statement after the signing. "Rather than mandate arbitrary timetables for troop withdrawals or micromanage our military commanders, this legislation enables our servicemen and women to follow the judgment of commanders on the ground."
McCain gives Obama 'flak' over spelling
CNN Congressional Producer Ted Barrett, CNN Political Research Director Robert Yoon
WASHINGTON (CNN) - Two presidential candidates are locked in a war of words overIraqand, to a lesser degree, spelling.
On Friday, Sen. Barack Obama, D-Illinois, referred to a "flack jacket" in a press release defending his "no" vote on Thursday'sIraqwar funding bill. Sen. John McCain, R-Arizona, responded with his own release which concludes with the line, "By the way, Senator Obama, it's a 'flak' jacket, not a 'flack' jacket."
The term "flak" refers to the fire from an anti-aircraft gun.
According to Webster's New World Dictionary, the American Heritage Dictionary, and the Oxford English Dictionary, "flack" is an alternate spelling of "flak," though the main listing for the term is under "flak." Two additional dictionaries, the Merriam Webster Dictionary: Home and Office Edition and the Webster's II New Riverside University Dictionary, list only "flak," and do not indicate "flack" as an alternate spelling.
A press spokesman, which incidentally is another possible definition for the term "flack" but not "flak," for the U.S. Army says the military generally does not use either spelling in official written communications, opting instead to refer to specific types of armor or weaponry. The spokesman added that while both spellings are used informally, "flak" is more common.

State and city officials are working to prevent a Legionella outbreak in Sioux Falls this year after a spike in cases of the deadly disease in 2018.
An outbreak in Sioux Falls last year hospitalized 16 people and killed one person — a 267 percent increase in local cases.
Health professionals and state and local officials gathered at the Sioux Falls Health Department on April 10 for workshops focused on preventing an outbreak of the disease.
Outbreaks of Legionnaire's Disease are common around cities in the United States, with some as detrimental as last year's outbreak in New York city that hospitalized more than 130 and killed 16 people, said Chris Boyd, manager of the building water health program for NSF International, who led the workshops.
"The opportunity for a very explosive event is very real," Boyd said.
South Dakota typically doesn't see more than 10 cases a year. But last year it spiked up to 33 cases in Sioux Falls alone. The cause of the outbreak wasn't determined by the South Dakota Department of Health.
The workshops aimed to further educate professionals and officials on what causes Legionnaire's Disease, what the symptoms are and how to prevent it.
"We want individuals to know the symptoms of Legionnaire's Disease and they should seek care from their medical provider if they're experiencing fever or difficulty breathing," said Josh Clayton, state epidemiologist for the South Dakota Department of Health.
A Legionella outbreak starts when bacteria grows in engineered water systems and the water is warm enough for the Legionella to breed, become airborne and become dangerous to humans. Engineered water systems can include showers, cooling towers, water storage, spas, humidifiers, hot tubs and more.
The Department of Health wasn't able to identify a source for Sioux Falls' Legionnaire's Disease last year. But just because officials don't know what caused the problem doesn't mean officials, professionals and normal people can't take steps to educate themselves and prevent another outbreak.
Legionnaire's Disease has a "high rate of morbidity," with about 10% of people who contract the disease dying.
The disease typically affects adults older than 50. Investigations by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found that in nine of 10 cases, almost all outbreaks were caused by preventable problems in water treatment.
In 2005, there was an outbreak of Legionella in Rapid City from a decorative fountain at a Mexican restaurant. A light bulb was heating the water enough that Legionella was able to spread and hospitalize up to 25 people.
Symptoms of Legionnaire's Disease are similar to pneumonia and can often be diagnosed. It includes a cough, shortness of breath, fever, muscle aches and headaches.
"Legionnaire's Disease can be treated with antibiotics," Clayton said. "So individuals experiencing symptoms of the disease should seek care from a medical provider right away. Early treatment will help avoid poor outcomes."


Real Thing CEO, Nick Howden was recently interviewed by several magazines to discuss the issues and dilemmas around the use of artificial intelligence arising from the recent sci-fi thriller movie, Chappie.
Men's magazine Maxim explored the pros and cons and impacts of AI in our lives, as well as the future directions and moral issues arising from our growing use of AI. Read the article at the link below.
Tech Magazine PC Tech Authority explored with Nick, the potential problems and possible negative outcomes that might emerge from human's increasing reliance on artificial intelligence and technology. Some of these potentially dangerous scenarios were highlighted in the movie Chappie.
Tech Magazine, PC Power Play, was interested in how close we are to replicating and duplicating (or uploading and backing-up) the human mind into an artificial intelligence, as depicted in Chappie and how far we are from 'truly self aware AI'. The article also explores with Nick, the fascinating issues around whether we as humans can responsibly create and control AI, as well as other interesting AI dilemmas.
