The ADA (American Dental Association) recommends that you replace your toothbrush every 3 to 4 months. In our house we replace our toothbrush a lot more than that; it's not like toothbrushes are expensive. If you have a desk or locker at work, then leaving a toothbrush at work is certainly do-able. It's not always about your teeth. You want to keep your gums nice and pink or coral colored and not dark and beefy. Beefy gums are not a Good sign, which means you probably need to see your dentist.
Working at a computer all day, creative exercise has become my middle name. I listen to a lot of news in the morning news while working, so when they cut to a commercial that is my cue to do my seated abdominal exercises. Sit on the edge of your chair, lean back and let your shoulder blades barely touch the back of the chair. Tighten your ab muscles and pull your knees toward your chest while you are leaned back. You should form a "V" sitting position, as you rest on your tailbone. You may need to rest your shoulder blades on the chair starting out. Straighten your legs, then bring your knees to your chest. Straighten your legs, then bring your knees to your chest. Repeat, Repeat, Repeat.
I am a big believer in moving meditations, which means while you move, meditate. As you can see, the ADLs are found under the 'Moving Meditation' button to the left navigation column. Laundry is a moving meditation. Washing dishes is a moving meditation. Vacuuming is a moving meditation. This puts a whole new spin on housework. If I were to sit down and meditate, I would probably fall asleep, so I need to move while I meditate. Use 15 minutes today to do housework while you meditate on that idea, thing, dilemma or situation. Do this preferably in silence.
The buddy system works in many situations including diet and exercise. The buddy system also works with finances. It has been studied that friends with similar traits will pick up habits from one another, including Good habits. Make a pact today with a friend that involves using your money in smarter ways. And seriously, when coming up with smarter ways, make them come from the word 'smarter'. Call 3 friends today and make a healthy money pact with them.
We all have the same 24 hour cycle as the next guy. No matter who you are or what part of the world you live, you have 24 hours, GO! This is truly where the playing field is even. Think about it. Even Stephen Hawking, bound to his wheelchair still used his brain during his 24 hours. Proper sleep is going to be the most important section of the day. Once you remove 7 or 8 hours for sleeping, you have about 16 more hours to get 'er done. The one who is the most efficient and resourceful will be the most productive and effective. You have 24 hours, GO!
Frozen vegetables are better than no vegetables at all. Slice open a bag of frozen vegetables, put some in a container and heat it up at work for your mid-morning snack. I always put individual packets of Edamame in the Scorpion King's lunch everyday, which is a great source of protein. Leave a shaker of your favorite spice concoction at work so you have it handy. That mid-morning snack will not only be hot on a cold winter day, it will remind you to eat healthy at lunch. It will be better to have a large helping of vegetables than a carb loaded snack that will rob you of energy. Remember, you have 24 hours in the day and you want that energy.
DESCRIPTION: Leucine is an essential amino acid that should be used in combination with valine and isoleucine. It is often recommended to those who are recovery from any type of operation. Take in moderation to prevent hypoglycemia.
POTENTIAL BENEFITS: May aid in healing tissues such as bones, muscle and skin.
SIDE EFFECTS: When supplemental leucine is consumed with a source of glucose, it increases the amount of insulin your body produces and lowers your blood sugar level. Taking Leucine at the same time as a diabetes medication, including insulin, may cause your blood sugar to drop too low. If you suffer from hypoglycemia or chronic low blood sugar due to a medical problem or a deficiency in an enzyme or hormone, avoid taking supplemental Leucine.
FOOD SOURCES: High protein foods such as: almonds, beans, beef, brown rice, Brazil nuts, cashews, chicken, corn, eggs, fish, soy, liver, whole wheat, chick peas, and lentils.

Is Mediation Mandatory in Los Angeles Divorce?
Family Law Blog 2013 October Is Mediation Mandatory in Los Angeles Divorce Cases?
If you are in the midst of a divorce, you may be wondering whether or not you should seek mediation assistance in your case. If you are going to be deciding a child custody plan as a part of the process, mediation is often recommended.
According to the Los Angeles Superior Court, if you and your spouse cannot be friendly and reasonable with each other as you work through the custody dispute, you may be required to do to mediation. For example, if there is a volatile custody dispute, then you will be required to attend mediation.
The Family Code requires that if there is a contested issue regarding the children, then the parents will need to attempt to resolve the dispute in a mediation setting. Only after this attempt has been made will the court make orders in a litigated hearing. This is also true when individuals are working through dissolution filings and paternity filings. Mediation may also be required ion some guardianship cases.
If you need to schedule a mediation appointment in accordance with the Los Angeles Superior Court requirements, then you will want to talk to your Los Angeles divorce attorney. In some cases, a lawyer may also be able to act as a mediator.
Normally, mediation will involve a meeting with both ex-spouses and the mediator helping the parties to communicate their concerns about a particular custody arrangement. If the mediation is fruitless, then the court may make an executive decision regarding child custody. It is always best to work towards an amicable divorce so that you can bypass mediation requirements.
Contact a Los Angeles divorce attorney at Claery & Green, LLP today if you want to work through your child custody case, or if you need mediation assistance.

No Deposit Free Spins Bonus: A Guide
Online gambling establishments have been known to promote their services through a couple of innovative bonus methods to get players through the virtual casino doors. One promotional bonus offer that is quite effective happens to be no deposit free spins. Online slots are extremely popular in the online gaming industry which is why casinos find the need to offer these particular bonuses to help you enjoy different slots games and possibly earn some extra cash.
No deposit free spins can also be used to test a variety of additional characteristics of a gambling site. For instance, while enjoying a no deposit free spins bonus, you can venture through the selection of games, evaluate the payment methods available on the site, and determine if the user-interface and navigation of the operator are to your liking.
Furthermore, you can confirm if a mobile app is available, if there are promotions and bonuses available for new and existing players, and if customer support is accessible around the clock before making a real money deposit. These incredible promotions give you a lot more than just an entertaining time at the casino and we are here to discuss every aspect of these sensational bonus offers to make your online gaming experience even more enjoyable.
What Are No Deposit Free Spins?
These bonus offers are quite common at online betting houses, where you're awarded a certain number of spins without necessarily making a deposit. Free spins may be presented as promotions or bonus features. As such, they're available to both new and existing players and are helpful in checking out a new casino or growing your bankroll.
Note that this perk can only be used to play classic slot machines or modern video slots unlike the other no deposit free spin bonuses available in the online gaming industry, such as no deposit free cash. Essentially, a game site issues these offers to try out new slot titles or popular titles before you can make a decision about depositing your hard-earned cash.
In case you're wondering if the bonus offers are available for mobile casinos, the answer is yes. Most online gaming sites provide these bonuses to mobile players as well. As such, you can play various slot games on the go. The two types of free spins you'll encounter in your online gambling experiences are explained below.
New Player No Deposit Bonus Offer
Normally, a gambling website will award this offer to entice new players to sign up. These are meant to help you determine if a certain game site is suitable for your gaming style and preferences or not. Sometimes, this offer could be offered as part of a welcome package as well, comprising of other promo freebies.
No deposit free spin bonuses are beneficial to both the gambling site and the online player. From a casino's perspective, it's used to attract more players to the site which can rapidly increase the player base and lead to more deposits and claiming bonuses. From a player's perspective, it can be used to evaluate every aspect of the site, including game variety, user-interface, navigation, mobile compatibility, bonuses for new and existing players, payment methods, and customer support. It also gives players the opportunity to win real money which is why no deposit bonus offers have maintained its popularity since its inception.
Promotional Bonus
No deposit free spins are, sometimes, presented as a promotion by a casino. For instance, a game website may require you to unlock this perk using a promo code or log into your account to activate the bonus. Here, you're provided with a number of spins for free to play a specific slot game.
You will also find that bonus spins can be awarded on your initial deposit, along with the welcome bonus, or as a complimentary bonus after you've made several deposits on your account. It's a quick and easy way to reward players for their patronage on the site and impresses with loads of entertainment value to the customer.
Free spins almost always come with strings attached, meaning there are certain conditions that ought to be fulfilled before you'll be able to successfully transfer the bonus to your cash balance. All the earnings you accumulate from these bonus offers of no deposit free spins are regarded as bonus cash that cannot be withdrawn unless the terms and conditions have been completed. The most notorious terms and conditions that are linked to no deposit free spins include wagering requirements, expiry dates, withdrawal caps, and game contributions.
The wagering requirements are deemed as the most important term and condition that you'll need to adhere to if you want to withdraw your winnings from the site. For example, you could get 20 spins and earn a total of $20.00 from the promotion. The wagering could be 50 times the total amount won, which means you will need to wager $1,000 to successfully transfer the bonus to your cash balance.
The second most important term and condition is game contributions. With no deposit free spins, you will notice that some games will count more towards your wagering requirements than others. For instance, most gambling sites make slots count 100%, roulette and blackjack count 10%, live casino games 10%, and table games 5%. Look for bonus offers where your favorite games count the most.
The third term and condition that you'll need to consider before claiming no deposit bonuses is the withdrawal caps. Mostly all no deposit bonus offers will be restricted with a withdrawal cap. This basically indicates how much you can withdraw from a no deposit bonus if you haven't made a deposit on your account. Most no deposit free spin bonuses will allow you to withdraw between $50 and $150 from a no deposit bonus. We recommend that you go with an offer where you'll get the biggest reward if you manage to clear all the requirements.
The final term and condition that will play a significant role while claiming these bonuses is the expiry date. Some gambling sites will only give you 24 hours to meet the necessary requirements, while others will be more generous, giving you up to 14 days. It's up to you to compare all no deposit bonuses and settle with one that gives you the most time before the bonus is removed from your account.
How to Win Real Cash Easily
Most certainly, you want to win extra money using these free bonus offers, which is why you need to learn how to utilize the bonuses effectively. The very first step to winning real cash is by finding a reputable and safe online gaming establishment. There are numerous gaming websites online, each providing a unique approach to playing online. You will need to evaluate a wide variety of aspects before signing up for a new account and claiming a bonus offer. Don't know what to look for? Don't worry, we got you covered. When searching for a new site, we recommend that you evaluate the following characteristics to avoid disappointment:
Selection of Casino Games
Range of Promotions and Bonuses
Quality of Payment Methods
Level of Security Measures
Processing of Withdrawals
User-Interface and Navigation
Company's Reputation:
The second thing you must consider before claiming these bonuses is to read and understand all the terms and conditions of the bonus offers you are interested in. Some gamblers ignore this, which ends up costing them their valuable time. Whether you are claiming no deposit free spins, no deposit free cash, a welcome bonus, or ongoing promotions, you'll be subject to terms and conditions. Make sure to read the fine print and question everything you don't understand about the bonus with customer support before activating the offer on your account.

Hayden and Bakalar Galleries
Hans Haacke 1967
ShowingOctober 21, 2011 - December 31, 2011
The MIT List Visual Arts Center will present an exhibition that revisits Hans Haacke's 1967 solo exhibition at MIT. Although some photographic material related to the exhibition at the Hayden Gallery at MIT exists (published in The Tech newspaper at the time) no significant documentation or critical text on this important project has ever been produced. The result of intensive research and collaboration with the artist, Hans Haacke 1967 will revisit this significant body of work as well as document part of MIT's historical contribution to contemporary art.
While best known for politically charged work employing investigative methods and focusing attention on politicians and corporations, Haacke initially was involved with physical and biological systems: living animals, plants, and physical states of water and wind. Under the title Wind and Water he presented his works for the first time in a solo exhibition at Galerie Schmela, Düsseldorf, Germany in 1965. A year later, he exhibited the legendary Condensation Cube (1963-65) at the Howard Wise Gallery in New York.
Haacke's 1967 solo exhibition at the Hayden Gallery included works he called "systems," produced with the "explicit intention of having their components physically communicate with each other, and the whole communicate physically with the environment," according to the artist. The exhibition included a 1,400-foot string of balloons flown as an outdoor piece, as well as Grass and Grass Cube, in which mounds of dirt were seeded with grass that grew inside the gallery; Weather Cube, in which water droplets acted as prisms; Ice Stick, a six-foot refrigerated column; and Wide White Flow, constructed of white fabric and fans.
Hans Haacke 1967 is organized by Caroline A. Jones, Professor in the History, Theory, and Criticism Program at MIT. She is the author of Machine in the Studio: Constructing the Postwar American Artist; Eyesight Alone: Clement Greenberg's Modernism and the Bureaucratization of the Senses; and editor of Sensorium: Embodied Experience, Technology, and Contemporary Art.
Hans Haacke was born in Cologne, Germany in 1936 and has been based in New York since 1965. He studied at the "Staatliche Werkakademie" in Kassel, Germany, from 1956 to 1960, and then from 1961 to 1962 at the Tyler School of Fine Art, Temple University, Philadelphia, PA. From 1967 to 2002, he was Professor at the Cooper Union in New York, USA. He has received numerous prizes, including the Golden Lion of the Biennale di Venezia in 1993 (with Nam June Paik).


• The hard top is not designed to carry any additional loads such as roof racks, spare tires, building, hunting, or camping supplies, and/or luggage, etc. Also, it was not designed as a structural member of the vehicle, and thus cannot properly carry any additional loads other than environmental (rain, snow, etc.).
• Do not move your vehicle until the top has been either fully attached to the windshield frame and bodyside, or fully removed.
• It is recommended that the top be free of water prior to panel removal. Removing the top, opening a door or lowering a window while the top is wet may allow water to drip into the vehicles interior.
• The hard top assembly must be positioned properly to ensure sealing. Improper installation can cause water to leak into the vehicles interior.
• Careless handling and storage of the removable roof panels may damage the seals, causing water to leak into the vehicles interior.
• The front panel(s) must be positioned properly to ensure sealing. Improper installation can cause water to leak into the vehicles interior.

Amurtigeren (latin: Panthera tigris altaica), ofte kaldt den sibiriske tiger, er en underart af tigeren. Navnet 'amurtigeren' afspejler dens historiske leveområde omkring Amur-floden, som i dag overvejende er begrænset til Primorskij kraj i Rusland, samt nogle få individer i Kina og Nordkorea. Tidligere dækkede dens leveområde det nordlige Kina, hele Koreahalvøen og store områder i det østlige Sibirien. Amurtigeren blev udryddet i Sydkorea i 1922 og er i dag truet på grund af krybskytteri og tab af habitatområde.

Amurtigeren er den største af de ni underarter af tigre, hvoraf de tre regnes for udryddet i dag. Hannen kan veje op til 300 kilogram og den kan være mere end 2,5 meter lang.

Der menes ikke at være mere end 400 individer tilbage i naturen i dag. Det er den type tiger man kan se i Odense Zoo og København Zoo, samt Knuthenborg Safaripark.

Now Open: Blaze Pizza at Fashion Island
Blaze Fast Fire'd Pizza, one of our favorite fast-casual pizzerias, opens its doors tomorrow at Fashion Island! The current reigning king of the build-your-own pizza chain has been rapidly expanding with new locations all over the U.S. since it opened its very first location in Irvine at University Center in 2012. We're huge fans of the Red Vine pie, with ovalini mozzarella, cherry tomatoes, parmesan, basil, red sauce, olive oil drizzle: the crust is nearly razor-thin and crisp from first bite to last. Blaze Pizza's assembly-line format allows guests to customize one of the menu's signature pizzas or create their own, choosing from a wide selection of fresh, artisanal ingredients – all for under $8 a pie. The generously-sized 11-inch pizzas are then sent to a blazing hot open-flame oven – the centerpiece of the restaurant – where dedicated pizzasmiths ensure that the thin-crust pies are fast-fire'd and ready to eat in just 180 seconds. Each restaurant makes its own dough from scratch using a recipe developed by critically-acclaimed Executive Chef Bradford Kent ("The Pizza Whisperer"), which requires a 24-hour fermentation period to produce his signature light-as-air, crisp crust. For pizza fans with specific dietary needs, Blaze Pizza offers gluten-free dough and vegan cheese. The Fashion Island location will also feature a selection of wine and craft beer.
To celebrate the grand opening, Blaze will offer FREE pizzas on Wednesday, December 3rd from 10 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. to anyone who follows Blaze Pizza on Instagram, Twitter, or Facebook.
Blaze Pizza is located at Fashion Island, 1091 Newport Center Drive, on the upper level, near Island Cinema. Information: blazepizza.com

Q: How do I list branches that are merged after a rebase? In Azure DevOps, my PR policy is set as "Semi-Linear", which means when you merge a pull request, it gets rebased first and then merged.
This makes it really difficult to clean up local branches because my normal git branch --merged origin/master doesn't support this scenario.
How can I reliably determine, in bulk, which local branches have been "effectively merged" so that I may delete them?
Note: I have my push.default set to current, and I always keep my remote tracking branch set to origin/master. So any solution that relies on checking upstream remote tracking branches for each local branch will not work (although, I do push my branches to the remote using the same name; we just can't rely on the remote tracking branch for that). I wanted to mention this detail just in case any solution would leverage remote tracking branches.
I found a similar SO question, Git: How do I list local branches that are tracking remote branches that no longer exist?, but it has no acceptable answers as far as I'm concerned.

A: one way I can think of is to attempt (dry-run) a rebase  of the topic branch onto origin/master - if it creates no new commits then the topic branch can be safely removed
this is because by default rebase does not create empty commits
one other way (maybe cleaner) is to:
git switch -c temp-topic-branch topic-branch
git merge origin/master
git reset --mixed origin/master
git status -s

if git status -s results in empty output - the topic branch can be safely removed

We all want to be greener. To make our carbon footprint smaller is not always thought of as easy. There are plenty of ways to start living green so let's start in the kitchen.
A lot of trash bag manufacturers are making their trash bags more eco-friendly. Perf GoGreen bags take it the extra mile, or ten. These bags will almost completely biodegrade within 12-24 months, but are as strong as any other bag while in use! There is also a sticky strip on the bottom of the box so it can stick to the bottom of your trash bucket! They are 100% bio degradable!
We all worry about what is in our food. What could be in your fruits and vegetables? Pesticides and other toxins. With the Lotus Sanitizing System, these worries will melt away, right with the toxins! You fill the system with regular tap water, then add your fruits or vegetables. The Lotus generates ozone, molecule made up of three oxygen atoms, which is a natural sanitizer and infuses it into the water. This will kill 99.9% of any bacteria and eliminates pesticides. You can either sanitize whats in the bowl, or make yourself a bottle of ozonated water to spray around the house as a sanitizer!
Green products, no sacrifice in performance. Made up mostly of coconuts and lemon oils, Clorox GreenWorks products are made to be 100% bio-degradable, are non-allergenic, and are even bottled into fully recyclable plastic! You may think these products are pricey, but really, they are only about $.50 more than the regular competitors, on average.
The thorough, effective and convenient deep cleaner for tasks large and small.
There it is! Straight from the metaphorical horse's mouth! Bissell boasts it's LittleGreen as a compact, efficient, and extremely effective little machine. It is everything the big ones are, but better and more efficient. It saves space, energy, and it's made of at least 75% recycled material!
Not many folks have known about LED bulbs in the past. However, they are starting to replace more and more traditional light bulbs. They are far superior to traditional in all aspects. Durability, high efficiency, and their impressive life-span are all what make them 'green'.
LED's by definition are light-emitting-diodes. Clusters of very small light emitting diodes make LED's shine brighter and more powerfully than traditional bulbs. They are also used in most stoplights and even in building floodlights because of their penetrating power.
Not only are they efficient and durable, but they are also very easy to recycle. They are mercury and halogen free, therefore, Eco-friendly. No need to worry about recycling them yet, because they can last up to a few years at a time!

MICHAEL DICKINS
Nothing to See Here, 2020
Nothing to See Here is my statement on the continued violence perpetrated against Black bodies and the privilege many of us have to ignore it. As you walk past these barrels, pay attention to the white path that affords you the ability to continue to your destination unobstructed. This installation will periodicaly change with the same bodies placed in new locations revealing the scars underneath.
Thoughts behind the project:
I have a view of this lawn outside of my office window and observe how little the members of the university community step on the grass, but stick to the concrete path. Though the designated pathways may not be the most direct path, they are the most comfortable path to their destination.
These barrels were crushed with an instant violence force created by changes in atmospheric pressure (see here). When approached about using the barrels for a piece, I started seeing the barrels as slumped bodies. The violence that created these bodies became a metaphor for the continued violence against Black bodies, and the color of the path is a metaphor for White privilege, as it's easy to stay on the path of that privilege and ignore the violence around us. The solid blackness of the barrels match that of the lawn light poles, benches and garbage cans, thus becoming part of the planned environment. The barrels are moved once a week to reveal the dead grass underneath - a metaphor for the scars left by the violence - scars that eventually be forgotten by those on the path.
As the viewer enters the piece, the signage is located so that if they read what the piece is about, they then are forced to become aware of the 'bodies', then willfully choose to continue on their path.
Austin Peay artist uses crushed black barrels, white sidewalks to illustrate systemic racial violence
by Brian Dunn, October 6, 2020
Eighteen 55-gallon steel barrels lie among the waves of grass at the Art + Design Quad at Austin Peay State University.
As people pass on white sidewalks through the dark-green field, their images reflect off the barrels' smooth black paint. The colors are crisp. Whole. The barrels are not. They lie crumpled on their sides.
The barrels, the sidewalks and the grassy field make up APSU Gallery Director Michael Dickins' latest artwork, "Nothing to See Here."
"'Nothing to See Here' is my statement on the continued violence perpetrated against Black bodies and the privilege many of us have to ignore it," Dickins says, describing the piece.
For Dickins, the barrels are Black bodies and the sidewalks are the white privilege that passes unobstructed through the violence happening all around.
Dickins has a view of the lawn from his office and can see students as they cross on the sidewalks.
"They're kind of blind to this gorgeous lawn they're walking through on this unobstructed white path that makes it so easy to get to their destination without worrying what's around them," he says.
Every week, Dickins will move the barrels, revealing dead grass.
"You will see the visible scars of this violence, knowing that the scars will eventually be covered up and forgotten, and we'll repeat the process that we're constantly in," he says.
After four weeks, the 18 barrels will have left 72 scars. All the while, people will stroll through.
Combining art and science"Nothing to See Here" is an extension of one of Dickins' earlier works, "#thoughtsandprayers," a 2017 sound collage installation that used a rusty steel barrel.
A speaker inside the barrel broadcast the voices of students and other community members as they read "thoughts and prayers" tweets from politicians after a mass shooting.
The voices echoed out from a barrel often associated with garbage or temporary fires, resulting in a stream of useless tweets from a black hole, Dickins says.
In the years since "#thoughtsandprayers," APSU's Bryan Gaither has been routinely crushing steel barrels for his Professional Mad Scientist air pressure demos. You can see one of the demos here to see how well the barrels crumple.
Dr. Karen Meisch, dean of the College of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics, mentioned to Dickins that he use the scrapped barrels in his art.
That idea has grown into art.
A part of something bigger
"Nothing to See Here" is one of the exhibits in the Art + Design Faculty Triennial, an exhibition that showcases the work of Austin Peay faculty. Most of the works are at The New Gallery in the Art + Design building, but some of the works, such as Dickins', are outside.
The triennial runs through Oct. 23, and anyone interested in seeing the works can stop by between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. Monday-Thursday.
To maintain social distancing, attendants will enforce a 15-person limit at the gallery. The triennial is free and open to the public.
Austin Peay also is offering a 360-degree virtual walk-through video of the triennial at www.apsu.edu/art-design.


After a wonderful year in cumbria I HAVE NOW RETURNED TO GOA FOR WINTER, BUT WILL return to KENDAL IN march 2017.
Yoga helps you to get the most out of life whatever your age or current level of fitness. Yoga improves strength, stamina and flexibility, calms the mind and helps you recognise the important things in life.
I will be available in Kendal and South Cumbria for private yoga tuition during spring/summer 2017. Tuition can be for one person or a small group, either at your home, workplace, club house or any other suitable venue. Sessions from one hour to full day/ weekend workshops.
Please enquire about larger groups.
Having some private tuition is the best way to begin a yoga practice. With your own teacher giving clear instructions to you, and available to assess each of your movements and postures you will learn the correct way right from the start. You will be given information about the benefits of each movement and posture and you can feel free to ask questions both during or after the class. The programme can be tailored to your own needs and current level of flexibility.
Working with a large class can mean it is difficult for the teacher to give individual advice and adjustment to each student, and beginners often find themselves copying the person next to them, who, even if they look experienced, may not be doing the postures correctly.
If you prefer to work in a small group with friends, family or colleagues you can arrange your own class at a time and place which suits you. It can be a one day event or a series of classes. It can be a traditional yoga class beneficial to all, or tailored to suit your specific needs or enhance your sporting activities.
Yoga for over 50's: For those who would like to try yoga but are afraid to join a general class in case everyone else is younger and more flexible than they are.
Chair Yoga: For those with limited mobility who can still benefit from gentle movement, yogic breathing and relaxation within a social group.
Yoga for Ramblers: Develop strength in muscles and bones; improve flexibility, balance and stamina - be ready to enjoy a ramble this summer.
Yoga for Runners: Want to move faster, and more safely? Yoga can help improve fluidity of movement and mental focus while reducing the risk of injury by counteracting the repetitive movement of running.
Yoga for Computer users:Yoga helps improve posture and counteracts the stress caused by long hours at the desk.
Yoga to calm the mind: Focus on breathing and relaxation techniques.

Generally, there are additional fees for removal and disposal of existing floor, sub-floor leveling, and cleaning and furniture removal. Take the time to speak with an expert at your local Carpet One Floor & Home store about options and costs associated with installation.


TEA.15.0 – 2016. The Earnings Analyst 15: 86pp.
TEA.15.1 – Tailoring. Edward Foster and James D. Rodgers. Courts in personal injury, wrongful death and employment law cases encourage economic damage experts directly and indirectly to fit their economic damage appraisals closely to the facts of the specific case, which is perhaps the broadest meaning of the term "tailoring." The purpose of this paper is to explore a number of questions about tailoring. Why are some kinds of tailoring generally accepted, frequently encountered, and appropriate, while other kinds of tailoring are encountered less often and controversial? We briefly consider some of the myriad characteristics and circumstances that could be a potential basis for tailoring. We also consider issues raised by tailoring to qualitative factors for which no numerical measure of impact is available. Finally, from our discussion of tailoring for particular variables and particular kinds of cases, we develop some generalizations about tailoring.
TEA.15.2 – Demonstrating Lost Earnings: Algebraic vs. Spreadsheet Method. Frank D. Tinari. Economic damages experts use computerized spreadsheets to make their calculations of lost income or financial support in civil tort cases. However, spreadsheets can be lengthy, and often are not clearly understood by the average juror. But spreadsheets are not the only way of demonstrating an economist's calculations. The "best" method, if there is such a thing, effectively communicates with the readers of one's report and, ultimately, if the case should go to trial, with jurors. Another way to express mathematical relationships is in algebraic form. This approach may not be widely used or understood, so the purpose of this article is to explain and contrast the algebraic method with the standard spreadsheet format. The algebraic method is a different, perhaps superior, means of effectively communicating with a jury. Notably, it does not require experts to give up their spreadsheets. Rather, by introducing arithmetic relationships as a preceding step, the resulting spreadsheet becomes much simpler, gaining substantial clarity in the process.
TEA.15.3 – Integrating Dividends, Interest and Value in Commercial Damage Cases: Toward a Comprehensive Methodology. Christopher Warren Young. This article suggests that economic experts should consider moving away from accrual based, accounting centered lost profits and toward cash based lost dividends when calculating economic damages in cases where shareholders are looking to recoup past lost profits. The discussion here is limited to commercial damage claims where lost profits are the measure. It is shown here that when experts rely on cash dividends as the variable of loss to shareholders, a more comprehensive, integrated and just system of calculation is recognized, increasing economic certainty in damage reports and possible subsequent verbal testimony.
TEA.15.4 – Term-to-Maturity and the Discount Rate. Peter Formuzis. The term-to-maturity of a plaintiff's investment plays an important role in its capacity to replace future losses in the amounts and at the times those losses are anticipated to occur. Typically, yield curves are upward sloping so that extending maturity results in higher interest rates. However, the reach for yield is not costless. Extending maturity increases the degree of lock-in and the standard deviation in the total rate of return. The optimum maturity is one where the marginal benefit of higher interest rates gained from extending maturity equals the marginal cost associated with greater lock-in and standard deviations in the total rate of return. The evidence presented in this paper argues for short to medium term maturities in the range of 3 months to 5 years, given the uncertainty over what future interest rates and inflation will be.
TEA.15.5 – Discount Rates for Determining the Present Value of Different Types of Pecuniary Damages. Joseph Rosenberg, Rob Schlegel, and Allyn Needham. Experts providing economic damages for litigation usually must provide future damage amounts or future cash flows in the form of present value. To make such a calculation, the expert must not only be aware of the mathematics in applying the appropriate formulas but the methods generally accepted by the courts. That expert should also be aware of other methods which could have been used and criticisms regarding those methods. This article provides a discussion of commonly used techniques and alternative methods for calculating present value in forensic situations. Although not comprehensive, it highlights areas of consensus and disagreement in the forensic economic community. Realizing that in most cases the expert decides on the discounting method to be used, this article provides information and resource data to assist experts in making such decisions.

Let's Get Graphic
Posted on May 12, 2019 by gregorytaylor8826
Graphic novels for all ages are booming! For at least a decade, the number of graphic novels for youth has been growing, with increasingly diverse topics, characters, and storylines.
Until recently, though, graphic novels for youth with QUILTBAG characters and themes were few and far between. Despite all the awesome comics for kids and teens, graphic novels seemed to be lagging behind traditional novels in the QUILTBAG arena.
Thankfully that's changing, and graphic novels for and about QUILTBAG youth are becoming more plentiful. In QUILTBAG #6 I talked about Drama by Raina Telgemeier, a groundbreaking middle grade graphic novel that's been a massive hit ever since its release in 2012. In just the past year or two, a flood of other graphic novels for teens, tweens, and younger kids have joined Drama in the QUILTBAG graphic novel landscape.
Check, Please! #Hockey by Ngozi Ukazu tells the sweet and funny tale of Eric "Bitty" Bittle, a former high school figure skater who applies his skating skills to hockey once he's in college. Bitty loves baking for his friends, social networking (his tweets are compiled in the back of the book), and the camaraderie of his hockey team. The cute, cartoony art in this Morris Award finalist will appeal to younger readers, but this one is for older teens — the characters are all in college and the storylines are authentic to that. Some of Bitty's teammates express themselves in the colorful ways you might expect from college hockey players, so fair warning. I loved this book and can't wait for the next volume.
In Bloom by Kevin Panetta and Savanna Ganucheau, Ari is eager to move to the big city with his bandmates, but his parents need his help running the family bakery in their sleepy beach town. Ari thinks if he can find someone to take his place, maybe his father will let him go. Enter Hector, an easy-going guy who loves to bake and answers the Help Wanted call. Ari and Hector become co-workers, then friends. This charming, slow-burn romance features older teens but will appeal to younger teens as well; it's published by First Second, who can always be counted on to provide some of the very best graphic novels for youth.
The Prince and the Dressmaker by Jen Wang, also from First Second, showed up on the 2019 Rainbow List (see QUILTBAG #2) and is also a Teens' Top Ten 2019 nominee. After seamstress Frances is fired for creating a dress her boss finds too edgy, she's hired by a mysterious client who is intrigued by her daring designs. Her new admirer turns out to be the Prince, who secretly likes wearing beautiful dresses. Together, the two of them are unstoppable. Using a lush color palette and clean, sweeping lines, Wang beautifully tells this charming tale of fashion and finding one's identity. This is a sweet story suitable for tweens and older.
A collection of connected short stories, The Cardboard Kingdom by Chad Sell tracks a neighborhood-full of kids who, over the course of one summer, create an increasingly elaborate fantasy world using cardboard boxes and their imaginations. Several characters display some sort of gender non-conformity in ordinary, childlike ways — the boy who wants to play the Empress; the girl who wants to be a mustache-wearing scientist; the boy who'd rather be rescued by the prince than slay the dragon. The art is colorful and energetic, and the text is spare and easy to read. This book is perfectly appealing for all ages.
Kiss Number 8 by Colleen AF Venable and Ellen T. Crenshaw is a recent release from First Second for more mature teens. Mads attends Catholic high school where her friend group includes wild child Cat, goody-goody Laura, and Laura's brother Adam, who has a crush on Mads. Venable has crafted a story rich with friend drama, family mystery and strife, and a main character who compellingly struggles to make sense of her family, friends, and feelings. Crenshaw's drawings are lively; expressive body language and facial expressions help tell the story in tandem with the text.
There are plenty of other comics and graphic novels for youth with QUILTBAG characters, and also several with QUILTBAG vibes or appeal. Nimona, Fence, Witch Boy, Lumberjanes, Backstagers, Roller Girl, This One Summer, and Tomboy are just a few worth recommending.
What are your favorite graphic novels and comics for youth that have QUILTBAG characters or storylines? I'd love to hear your suggestions!
PS: I know some of you are educators, and if you're still reluctant to read graphic novels or use them in your classroom, I recommend this essay-in-comic-form by Gene Yang, the author of the Printz-winning American Born Chinese and a huge advocate for comics for kids. A recent Edweek article weighs in, as well, on why graphic novels belong in your English classroom. And finally, Publishers Weekly explains why the graphic novel is a perfectly teachable format.

Pronouns and Prefixes
Posted on April 1, 2019 by gregorytaylor8826
What are your preferred pronouns? This is a very modern question. Not so long ago, everyone was a he/him or a she/her. A character like Pat on the old Saturday Night Live skits who confounded people's binary assumptions was a source for humor.
In today's world many people, for many reasons, choose to use they/them pronouns. It can sound awkward at first, using they/them to refer to a single person, paired with a singular antecedent. While it might feel fairly normal to say something general like, "Each student should turn in their paper by Friday," it's more jarring to hear, "Chris would like to turn in their paper on Monday, instead."
(For an excellent explanation of singular "they" and how it's actually been a part of the English language for hundreds of years, I recommend listening to an episode of the Lexicon Valley podcast called "The Rise of They." And no less an authority than the Oxford English Dictionary defends the practice with signature wit and style in their blog post "A Brief History of Singular They.")
A Quick and Easy Guide to They/Them Pronouns by Archie Bongiovanni and Tristan Jimerson is exactly what it sounds like. In graphic novel format, comics-artist Archie — who uses they/them pronouns in their real life — helps their cisgender friend Tristan (a storyteller for The Moth, among other things) understand the purposes and potential pitfalls of using people's preferred pronouns. In comfortable, conversational style, the two authors walk readers through all the questions and confusion that might arise if a friend says they prefer to use they/them pronouns.
Symptoms of Being Human by Jeff Garvin features Riley, a gender fluid teen who creates a blog in the midst of facing struggles at a new school. Garvin largely avoids pronoun challenges by writing from Riley's point of view in first person. In Every Day by David Levithan, in which a sixteen-year-old wakes up every day in the body of a different person, the main character known simply as "A" uses masculine or feminine pronouns depending on the body A inhabits that day. The lead character Sal in the fantasy novel Mask of Shadows by Linsey Miller is genderfluid and expects people to use the pronouns that match Sal's presentation from day to day.
These are smart work-arounds for an author, and also represent real pronoun choices for some people. But increasingly, people are choosing to use they/them pronouns for a variety of reasons and it's important to adjust our ears and expectations accordingly. We shouldn't have to manipulate our language to avoid pronouns just because someone doesn't easily fit our standard choices. (If you like, you can explore gender-neutral options like ze/hir or e/em/eir.)
The 57 Bus by Dashka Slater is a Stonewall-winning non-fiction book about a horrible event on a city bus in Oakland in 2013. Sasha, a gender-nonconforming teen, had their skirt set on fire while sleeping on the bus and suffered severe burns. In short easy-to-read chapters, the book tells the compelling story of Sasha and also of Richard, the boy with the lighter.
Aside from being a fascinating read, The 57 Bus also provides a thorough education on current terminology. This book helped me adjust to they and them as singular pronouns, while also expanding my understanding of identities such as genderfluid, cisgender, nonbinary (enby), biromantic, genderqueer, pansexual, and so many others.
I'm no expert (and this post is already running long) so I'm not going to attempt to explain or define all of these terms. There are plenty of good resources just an Internet search away — or starting on page 32 of The 57 Bus. And in today's world, it makes sense to be up on the latest lingo. Here are just a few examples that are in common use today:
Cis is a prefix signifying that your gender identity matches your physical gender assigned at birth. You could think of it as the opposite of trans.
Some people feel they aren't sexual at all and use Ace as shorthand for asexual.
Younger people, if they find themselves attracted to different genders, are less likely to say they're bi (because it plays into the notion of gender as binary) and more inclined to say they're pansexual — attracted to all gender identities.
In the book Ship It by Britta Lundin (see QUILTBAG #3 – Cons, Ships, and Fics), Tess says she's a homoromantic pansexual. Thanks to my reading of The 57 Bus, I knew just what she was talking about, and it made total sense in the context of the story.
We live in rapidly changing times regarding how society views sexuality and gender, and books for young people are reflecting and leading these changes. I encourage you to delve into any of these books or the many others that shed light on this topic. If you have a gender nonconforming friend, co-worker, or student, they will thank you for it.

Based on conversations with friends and acquaintances, it seems that many people think QUILTBAG books must all be for adults or teens. That somehow those themes and characters aren't appropriate for younger readers, or that there's no way to tell those stories in a way that works for children.
Nothing could be further from the truth. And if your QUILTBAG picture book knowledge begins and ends with Heather Has Two Mommies, you are in for a treat. Some of my favorite QUILTBAG books of the past year are picture books, written and illustrated for very young readers.
Neither by Airlie Anderson
In a land of yellow birds and blue rabbits, a green creature with bunny ears and a beak shows up. Claiming to be "both," the green one is instead labelled as "neither" — neither this nor that, neither these nor those — and therefore unsuited for any of the birdy games or rabbity activities. After being banished and looking for Somewhere Else, the protagonist instead finds welcoming friends in The Land of All. Spare text, bright colors, and bold, simple drawings make this book perfect for even the youngest readers, and the message is clear: there are all different kinds of beings, and the best world is where everyone is welcome.
The Adventures of Honey and Leon by Alan Cumming, illustrated by Grant Shaffer
In a book inspired (very loosely) by real life, actor Alan Cumming and his illustrator husband Grant Shaffer tell the story of two sophisticated Manhattan dogs, Honey and Leon, and their two dads. The dogs worry whenever the dads leave on trips, so one day Honey and Leon decide to follow along in secret, just to keep an eye on their family. Jaunty, colorful illustrations perfectly capture the fabulous lifestyle and outsized attitude of these very cosmopolitan dogs and their dads.
A Church for All by Gayle E. Pitman, pictures by Laure Fournier
I'm a Methodist, and the actions of the United Methodist Church at the recent General Conference have been painful and divisive. Thankfully, my local church is much more like the one in this joyous, inclusive book: "Hands receiving / Hands connecting / Hearts believing / Hearts accepting / Feel the Spirit / Can you hear it? / It's here at our church for all!" The pictures show a broad diversity of age, race, gender, disability, social and economic status, and fashion choice, all attending church together with love and grace.
Phoenix Goes to School by Michelle and Phoenix Finch, illustrated by Sharon Davey
This autobiographical picture book tells the story of Phoenix, a transgender girl who was AMAB (assigned male at birth), as she heads off for her first day at school. She is nervous to wear a dress, and worried that older kids might bully her or make fun of her. In fact, she has a great first day and makes some new friends. Supplemental material at the back of the book offers information and discussion questions for children and adults.
In this 2019 Stonewall Award winner, Julian and his grandmother see three women on the subway dressed as glamorous mermaids. Julian decides he wants to be a mermaid too, and improvises a costume with items found in his grandmother's house. Luscious pictures and minimal text tell the sweet story of Julian's emerging identity and his supportive abuela. Be sure to look up videos of the Coney Island Mermaid Parades that inspired this book.
Sewing the Rainbow by Gayle E. Pitman, illustrated by Holly Clifton-Brown
Harvey Milk has rightly gotten a lot of attention for his role in the gay rights movement in San Francisco in the 1970s. This book focuses instead on fellow activist and costume designer Gilbert Baker, the man who created the first rainbow flags for a march on City Hall. Gilbert grew up in Kansas where everything was "dull and gray and flat" but Gilbert was a boy "full of color and sparkle and glitter." A Reader Note at the end of the book provides even more biographical detail and historical context.
All of these titles and so many more are perfect introductions to QUILTBAG themes for early readers. And while it's tempting to think of this as a fairly new trend in children's picture books, the New York Times did a story recently on "The Gay History of America's Classic Children's Books"; it's a fascinating read.
Whether or not you've got some little ones in your life to read with, I encourage you to pick up any of these delightful titles and explore the rainbow of stories picture books have to offer.

Cons, Ships, and Fics
Posted on February 15, 2019 by gregorytaylor8826
Ah, fandom. The world of cosplay, slashfic, cons, and headcanon ships.
If most of that sounds like a foreign language, you owe it to yourself to dive into some of the latest YA novels that use the universe of fandom to tell compelling stories of identity in the 21st century. (And I've included a short glossary at the end of this post, just in case. Look for bolded words in the glossary.)
The Pros of Cons by Alison Cherry, Lindsay Ribar, and Michelle Schusterman
Three authors tell three interconnected stories of three girls, all at the same hotel and convention center for three different events. Callie is assisting her father at the World Taxidermy Championships. Phoebe is with her fellow high school band mates at the Indoor Percussion Association Convention. And Vanessa is at the We Treasure Fandom Convention, aka WTFcon, where she's excited to finally meet IRL her online co-author and girlfriend Soleil.
Callie and her father are clashing over family dynamics; Phoebe is caught in a web of conflicting crushes and frenemies in her circle of band friends; and Vanessa discovers that Soleil may have misrepresented herself online in a variety of ways to further her own fanfic fanbase. (On the Internet, nobody knows you're a dog, as they say.)
In rotating chapters, the three girls narrate their individual stories, which increasingly overlap until the different plotlines weave together in one satisfying climax. A podcast project for Creativity Corner, WTFcon's culminating event, combines the talents and connections of all three girls, and hinges in part on the fact that they are unknown to each other's con companions and can therefore interview them face to face in relative anonymity. The project also gives Vanessa a chance to further her budding friendship with fellow fanfic writer Merry (who uses they/them pronouns).
Chaotic Good by Whitney Gardner
Cameron designs costumes, often gender-flipping characters from comic books and video games as she reimagines their looks. After winning a recent cosplay contest she's been suffering abuse from Internet trolls who are mad at how she's altered their favorite characters, or simply can't believe a girl could know anything about the world of comics and gaming.
Cameron hopes to finish her costume portfolio in peace, and since her family has recently moved to a new town, it's easy to be a recluse. But as she's browsing the local comic shop for inspiration, her ire is newly raised by a smug clerk who steers her to the "girl section" and quizzes her on obscure characters to test her cred.
On a suggestion from her gay twin brother Cooper, Cameron borrows some of his clothes and gender-swaps her own identity. She's surprised to find how easy it is to be taken seriously when she's back in the comics shop as boy-Cameron; she's even more surprised when a good-looking guy invites her to join his D&D group that plays regularly at the shop.
Cameron develops a crush on the dashing DM but is in too deep to reveal that she's a girl. Her brother Cooper is interested in Wyatt, another player, but Wyatt seems to only have eyes for Cam (who he thinks is a boy!). Meanwhile, the Internet bullies are coming after Cameron full-force, and it's affecting her ability to finish her portfolio in time for her big college interview.
Filled with great social commentary on gender dynamics, Internet trolling, table-top gaming, comics, cosplay, and role-playing of all kinds, Chaotic Good delivers a delightful and timely story.
Ship It by Britta Lundin
Smokey is a demon hunter. Heart is a demon…with a heart. The two are sworn enemies, and yet…. When Claire writes slashfic starring the two main characters of her favorite tv show Demon Heart, the two hunky leads are in love.
Claire travels from her small Idaho town to a Comic-Con in Boise where the stars of Demon Heart are appearing, and she has the opportunity to ask them about the possibility of their smoldering attraction finally playing out on screen. It may not be canon, but it's Claire's headcanon. And she's not alone. Fandom reacts with enthusiastic curiosity, but Forest Reed (who plays Smokey) does NOT like the idea that fans might see his character as gay.
After a clip of the Q&A goes viral, Claire is invited to follow the Con to Portland and Seattle, in part to pander to the show's online and LGBTQ fans, but also in an attempt at damage control. Forest, and others involved with the show, just want Claire and her uncomfortable questions to go away.
Claire meets fellow Demon Heart fan Tess, a self-proclaimed "homoromantic pansexual," and Claire begins to realize she may have feelings for Tess beyond fellow fan and potential friend. Meanwhile, Forest and his co-star Rico react differently to the fans who ship their characters, and Forest has to face some of his own issues.
All three of these books are on the American Library Association's 2019 Rainbow List. All three titles have interesting things to say about the gender spectrum, gender roles, questioning, and attraction as well as the tricky navigation of public and private identities, the power of online communities, and the creativity of fandom. Still, they never feel preachy or teacher-y; each one is a fun adventure with fascinating characters. So whether the world of Cons, Fics, and Ships is familiar territory or completely new to you, dive on in!
Canon – The facts of an original story, especially in contrast to what happens in fanfic. For example, plenty of fanfic has Harry and Hermione getting together romantically — even though that's not canon. Or fanfic might have Harry on Safari in Africa, even though that's not canon.
Con – Short for convention, often a fan convention of some kind. LeakyCon is a well-known Harry Potter convention.
Cosplay – Short for costume play. Often fans will attend cons or meet-ups in elaborate costumes, which could be careful replicas of well-known characters (storm troopers, Hobbits) or variations such as gender-flipped versions of characters or fanfic characters that are clearly from a certain fandom ("I'm a bisexual Slytherin with a thing for both Tonks and Ron.")
D&D – Dungeons and Dragons, a popular tabletop role-playing game.
DM – Dungeon Master. The person who plans and runs campaigns for D&D games.
Fandom – This can refer to all the fans of all the things; or a specific fandom, such as the Harry Potter fandom, the Lumberjanes fandom, or the High School Musical fandom.
Fanfic – Fiction written by fans and set in the world of an existing story. Fanfic could be about canon characters, new characters invented by the fanfic writer, or both.
Headcanon – A fact that isn't canon, but a fan (or many fans) assume to be true, so it is part of their personal headcanon. Supposed queerness is a frequent topic of headcanon: Lady Elaine Fairchild is a lesbian; Ryan Evans (HSM) is gay. (See the brilliant essay in comic form, "Tell Me About Your Trans Headcanons," by Sfe R. Monster in the anthology The Secret Loves of Geeks.)
IRL – In Real Life.
Ship – Short for relationship, but used as a verb. When a fan wants two characters to get together romantically, they ship them. So many Harry Potter fans ship Harry and Draco, it's practically become headcanon for many of them.
Slashfic – Fanfic that puts two characters in a relationship that isn't canon, usually a queer relationship. For example, fanfic that pairs the Winchester brothers from Supernatural ("Wincest") or stories about Meredith and Cristina from Gray's Anatomy.
Trolling – Being intentionally inflammatory in online comments to provoke individuals or groups, incite anger, and disrupt online communication and communities.

Reading a book is an internal, personal experience. Even the most descriptive writing leaves so much to a reader's imagination. It's been said that reading a novel is a collaboration between the author and the reader; the writer creates what's on the page while the reader uses personal experience and opinion to conjure mental images and bring meaning to the story.
So unless the author spells it out, every one of us imagines something different when we read a book. "House" might conjure up where you live now, or your childhood home, or a friend's place — and if the author doesn't give you more detail, it doesn't really matter how you picture that character's bedroom, or their high school, or their neighborhood.
It gets trickier when it comes to the characters themselves. Unless we're told otherwise, most readers default to an image of characters who are white. And straight. After all, so many fictional characters we watch on tv and see in movies are white and straight and middle class, so it's easy to assume that characters in books are also white and straight — even if we're never told that explicitly.
Which brings me to Simon.
Love, Simon, which came out [heh] in March 2018, was the first major-studio teen gay romantic comedy released in the United States. The movie was based on the 2015 book Simon vs. the Homosapiens Agenda by Becky Albertalli, which won the 2016 Morris Award for debut YA literature.
Simon, the title character, is white and middle class and as far as anyone knows when the story starts, straight. But he's been trading emails with another gay guy at his high school for a while now. Simon doesn't know who he is — they've been using code names — and neither one of them is out. When Simon fails to log off a computer in the school library, a classmate sees the emails and threatens to out Simon if he doesn't help set him up with a girl he likes.
Simon vs. the Homosapiens Agenda is a delightful contemporary YA novel: funny, dramatic, and romantic. Filled with great friends, cool sisters, awkward parent conversations, and flirty emails with the mysterious Blue, it's a feel-good book that anyone can enjoy.
And that's plenty. But Simon is also bursting with little nuggets of wisdom about friendship, coming out, growing up, and finding your own identity. At one point Simon has an epiphany: "White shouldn't be the default any more than straight should be the default. There shouldn't even be a default."
The cast of characters in Simon vs. the Homosapiens Agenda is perfect for the #weneeddiversebooks era, with a rainbow of race, gender, and sexuality represented. Albertalli definitely doesn't give in to the defaults in her books!
But Simon is an amiable, good looking, straight-acting, white, male, middle class, reasonably fit, regular dude. And fair or not, that makes him the default in nearly every way — an accessible character perfectly suited to be the gay lead in an award-winning book or the main character in the first mainstream gay teen romantic comedy movie.
So if you haven't read many QUILTBAG books, this might be your gateway novel. Or if you want to hand a book to a friend or family member who's a little wary of QUILTBAG themes and characters, this could be a good one to start with. And if you've already read Simon, I recommend Albertalli's Leah on the Offbeat (a sort-of sequel, set one year later, and from friend Leah's point of view), and The Upside of Unrequited (a mega-diverse story with some small connections to the Simon-verse).
The movie, Love, Simon, while different from the book in a number of ways, is equally charming and accessible. The Pop Culture Happy Hour podcast did a great episode discussing the movie, which includes a nice story about a gay man seeing the movie with his mother, her reaction, and their long-overdue conversation that followed.
Just as we're seeing more racially diverse characters on tv, in movies, and in books, QUILTBAG titles are also breaking down the defaults by putting characters of diverse gender roles and sexualities front and center. I encourage you to fight the defaults in your own reading habits. If you haven't read Simon vs. the Homosapiens Agenda, it's not a bad place to start.

Patients with fused low backs or who have metal screws or plates in their spines should not have Spinal Decompression Therapy. Extreme caution should be used with patients with advanced osteoporosis. Patients receiving Spinal Decompression Therapy may experience some discomfort in their back area following the therapy. Which may last up to 24 hours. This is a normal part of Spinal Decompression Therapy.
Spinal Decompression Therapy is designed for the rehabilitation of the spinal disc. Patients with the following diagnosis and/or symptoms may be candidates for Spinal Decompression Therapy.
The recommended program for disc rehabilitation can vary from patient to patient, depending on the severity of the disc problem. Most patients begin to experience relief within the first five sessions. After the fifth decompression visit, patient treatment is re-evaluated to determine how many, if any, decompressions are necessary. Candidates for Spinal Decompression Therapy are first given the opportunity to experience the minimal constraints of the procedure prior to making any decision to starting the procedure. It is recommended that patients with chronic conditions such as Degenerative Disc Disease and/or Spinal Stenosis stay on a maintenance decompression program of once a week to once a month depending on the severity.
There are many different types of Spinal Decompression Systems. All successfully create a negative gravity at the disc level. The most well-known is the DRX9000. However, with some of the newer and more sophisticated tables, patients can now be treated facing upward or downward while incorporating 54 table positions. In addition, the 3D Active Track used here in our office, is one of the few systems that will allow the Doctor or therapist to be interactive during the Decompression Therapy. These newer advancements have increased the probability of success with some of our more challenging patients.

This is a normal part of Spinal Decompression Therapy.
Cervical Spinal Decompression is a sophisticated form of computerized traction specifically for neck disc disorders. Similar to lumbar decompression, cervical decompression takes pressure off the spinal discs, which are gel-like cushions between the bones in your spine, by creating negative pressure in the disc. As a result, bulging or herniated discs may retract, taking pressure off nerves and other structures in your spine. This in turn helps promote movement of water, oxygen, and nutrient-rich fluids into the discs so they can heal. It is extremely effective in the treatment of neck and arm pain caused by disc herniation and/or disc degeneration. Treatment time for the cervical and lumbar decompression can range from 10 to 20 minutes.


When we visit Italy where do we go? Do we hope to find an idea of 'Italy' that we carry in our mind, or do we hope to discover 'Italy' for ourself and experience our own version? The image of the Italian city is fantastic, built of grand palaces and piazzas, colonnades and churches; a rich cultural history awaits the visitor.
I travel to Italian cities searching for a certain kind of place; a place that I imagine has existed for hundreds of years, but perhaps has never existed at all. I hope to find evidence. Within the (old) city walls sits the medieval core and what remains today is a curious mix of living city and tourist destination. Life on the streets seems to continue as it has for centuries. The scale and plan of the townscape dictate how one lives and works and aspects of the city seem to be from a different time. Seen in the early morning before the people and traffic have filled the streets I can appreciate the slower movements of the city. I can see the background.
Over time nature will reclaim the streets. Not through a lack of habitation and activity but as a result of it. Use and repetition create a patina. Weathering, wear: every contact leaves a trace. The buildings crumble, the colours fade, the writing is on the wall. But this is not a gloomy scene, there is no desolation or ruin here, only signs of life and a patina of activity and use. The city is as alive now as it ever was; functioning, vibrant, ongoing.
marks on the fabric of the city, evidence of the stratification of time visible on every surface. Stone is worn by diurnal, annual, centennial activities which seem to have carved a way through streets like a glacier. Patched up, painted over, scrubbed off, replaced – we try to conceal the evidence – but left long enough it becomes visible again gradually obscuring the surface, becoming the surface. Its course is never run.
