PNGOC welcomes government support for Team PNG
May 31, 2019 The National Sports
THE Papua New Guinea Olympic Committee (PNGOC) has welcomed the Government's announcement of K1million to support Team PNG's participation at this year's Pacific Games in Samoa.
The funding support has been earmarked for levy fees, according to a PNGOC statement.
"With these funds received by PNGOC, all levies that have been paid to date will be refunded to the person or entity that made the payment," it said.
"With 39 days to go before the opening ceremony, the PNGOC is still looking to secure funding to cover the full budget of Team PNG's participation at the Games.
"The biggest cost in the budget is that of the charter flights to Samoa. We note the Government has indicated its intention to support this cost as well."
Whilst the PNGOC is confident that the full budget will be met, it has also begun to explore contingency options including, the reduction of the team size, and reallocating funding provided to sports to support their preparations.
"The final size of Team PNG is now more distinct pending the outcomes of several appeals from athletes and sports that were not endorsed by the PNGOC's Justification Committee (JC)," the statement said.
"The JC endorses (or not) athletes and officials for Team PNG based on the Team PNG selection standards and policies which have been available to sports since 2016.
"These standards were based on sports and athletes demonstrating genuine medal potential for the 2019 Pacific Games and demonstrating their current form through recognised competition results and performances.
"PNGOC is cognisant of the expectation by Government, sponsors and public for Team PNG to produce medal-winning results at the Games in order to justify the level of expenditure needed to send the team."
In addition to the Government support, PNGOC said it was grateful for the financial support it had received from Trukai Limited, Kumul Petroleum Holdings Limited and SP Brewery.
"PNGOC also thanks those who have contributed to our fundraising efforts through participation in the Prime Minister's Corporate Golf Challenge and purchasing of Trukai Fun Run T-shirts," it said.
Organisations interested in supporting Team PNG can contact the PNGOC for further discussions.
The Pacific Games is the most followed sporting event in the region and Team PNG is looking forward to exceeding expectations and producing the medal winning performances in Samoa that will make the country proud of our athletes and officials.

Can You Skip Your Flu Shot
October 24, 2013 DelRene Davis
Flu season is right around the corner. Although we usually expect peaks in January and February, infections can start occurring as early as October.
It takes two weeks for your flu shot to start providing full protection so we recommend you get a flu shot as soon as the vaccine becomes available, even if you received a flu shot last year.
The flu virus is constantly changing, which means the vaccine is also changing. Public health experts develop a new vaccine every year to treat the three most widespread flu strains for the current year.
And, despite what you may have heard, getting your flu shot does not give you the flu. "If you feel achy and feverish after the shot, it's your own immune system working to protect you, it's not the flu! The flu shot is made from dead flu viruses (germs)," says DelRene Davis, ARNP at West Olympia Family Medicine. "When you get the shot, these dead germs 'trick' your body into making antibodies ahead of time. Now you're ready to defend yourself in case the real flu catches up with you."
Immunization is crucial for our most vulnerable populations:
those with chronic medical conditions such as asthma, diabetes, heart or lung disease
seniors age 65 and over
anyone who lives with or cares for those at higher risk should also get a flu shot
You can receive your flu vaccine two different ways:
The "flu shot," made from a killed virus that has been tested and approved for use. The flu shot comes in three different varieties.
A regular dose for those six months and older
A high-dose shot for those 65 or older
An intradermal shot (injected into the skin instead of a muscle) for persons age 18 to 64.
The "flu mist," made from a weakened vaccine, given as a nasal spray. The spray is approved for those 2 to 49 years of age who are not pregnant.
You should not get a shot if you have a severe allergy to chicken eggs, have had a severe reaction to a previous shot, have a fever at the time, or have a history of Guillain-Barre Syndrome.

Our smartphones are precious to us and well, losing one or having it stolen can be a pretty horrible experience. Not just because we perhaps depend on these devices more than we should, but because they're valuable and have access to all of our online accounts and such. Both things we wouldn't want someone else to get their hands on. This is why after such a long time, Google has built in a feature to help locate your phone right into Android. part of Google's Play Services, the Device Manager is completely free to use and works quite well. Still though, for those looking for something a little more secure than that, there are similar offerings from big names and McAfee is one of those names.
Intel's own antivirus and security app has teamed up with LG to offer G3 owners anti-theft features free for five years. These features not only include the usual locate, remote wipe and password locks, but also feature mobile security and antivirus as well. The McAfee Mobile Security app comes preinstalled on the G3 and features backups, tracking features, a kill switch and the ability to control it from the Web completely free. Other LG users can download the app from the Play Store for free, but they might have to pay for the aforementioned services.
While this is a somewhat unnecessary move by LG, as Google's Android features a competent built-in option, it will be nice to those that have sensitive information on their devices or just want to keep hold of their device. This could also cause some headaches for some, as the app blocks root access and prevents factory resets, but we're assuming this is done after one has set up the software in the first place. With the G3 launching soon, it'll be interesting to see what sort of effect this has on development for the G3.

A: Whic version of iron python are you using ? The syntax you show seems belong to an older version, now you should have something like:
var ipy = Python.CreateRuntime();

anyway this blog post seems to be really accurate on pointing the correct reference to use. Anyway, ensure you have the latest IronPython version.

There will be plenty of chances to celebrate homegrown talent when the Western Canadian Music Awards roll into Winnipeg this fall. Manitoba artists and industry picked up an impressive 44 nominations in 28 categories for the 12th annual celebration of music from the western provinces and territories with talented acts from Manitoba's Aboriginal, Francophone, roots and world music communities dominating their respective categories.

Small business charter
Scottish business pledge
Our licences
Brightwater is an ambitious challenger to the larger players in the market, providing water and waste water services to businesses in Scotland. Our primary aims are simply to serve our customers well with great prices, give genuinely helpful advice to reduce water consumption and costs, and provide a professional, friendly and reliable service.
We're a Scottish company, working with Scottish companies to save on Scottish Water.
We don't believe in the current 'switch and forget' approach to the industry, instead we 'consult, advise and action'. We want to work with our customers to help them get the most out of their water services, become more water-wise and reduce their consumption.
It may seem counter intuitive that we want to win your business and then persuade you to use less of our product. That's the Brightwater way and we believe, a key differentiator.
Water is a finite resource, yes even in Scotland, and we want to do everything we can to minimise usage. If every business in Scotland were to reduce their usage by 10% this would save in excess of 16 billion litres a year – over 6,440 Olympic size swimming pools – and save Scottish business up to £35 million in water charges each year.
We don't just aim for great service and unbeatable prices, they're our starting point.

Regency Fashion: How a lady accommodated her head feathers at the end of the 18th century
Posted in 18th Century England, Fashions, Georgian Life, jane austen, Jane Austen's World, Regency Customs, Regency Life, Regency style, Regency World, tagged Court dress, Regency Fashion, Regency feather head dresses on December 5, 2010| 9 Comments »
Copyright @Jane Austen's World
Looking at the images in this post, one can only imagine how difficult it was for a woman in full evening dress (or court dress) to move around. Between taking care of her shawl, reticule, dance card, and fan, she had to walk upright and sedately so that her head feathers did not topple over after an abrupt movement or caught fire under chandeliers ablaze with candles.
1794-95 Court Dress
Examining the above image, one can readily see that these costumes were designed for high-ceilinged rooms that were opened by high double doors.
A lady's wig catches fire. Thomas Rowlandson. Image @Yale University
In this dramatic image, Thomas Rowlandson catches a moment of real danger both for the lady whose wig (and feathers) caught fire, and for the guests, who might have been trapped in a house fire, for water to put out flames was not easily obtained. In the late 18th century The London Times reported on several more incidents in which ladies found ways to accommodate their head feathers, or in which the feathers (and mother nature) got the best of them.
Lady Godina's Rout
At all elegant Assemblies there is a room set apart for the lady visitants to put their feathers on, as it is impossible to wear them in any carriage with a top to it. The lustres are also removed upon this account, and the doors are carried up to the height of the ceiling. A well-dressed Lady who nods with dexterity can give a friend a little tap upon the shoulder across the room without incommoding the dancers. The Ladies feathers are now generally carried in the sword case at the back of the carriage. – Times, Dec 29, 1795.
Tippies of Newton, 1796 caricature by Richard Newton. Image @Wikimedia Commons
A young lady only ten feet high was overset in one of the late gales of wind in Portland Place, and the upper mast of her feather blown upon Hampstead Hill. "The maroon fever has been succeeded by a very odd kind of light-headedness, which the physicians call ptereo mania, or feather folly." The Ladies now wear feathers exactly of their own length, so that a woman of fashion is twice as long upon her feet as in her bed. – Times, Dec 30, 1795.
1796, High Change in Bond Street, Gillray
We saw a feather in Drury Lane Theatre yesterday evening that cost ten guinea. We should have thought the whole goose not worth the money. – Times, Jan 6, 1796.
A Modern Belle Going to the Rooms at Bath, James Gillray, 1796. Image @Wikimedia Commons
Here is a contrivance by which A Modern Belle going to the Rooms or Balls can go fully dressed with her feathers fixed. There is to be seen in Gt Queen Street a Coach upon a new construction. The Ladies set in this well and see between the spokes of the wheels. With this contrivance the fair proprietor is able to go quite dressed to her visits, her feathers being only a yard and a half high. – Times, Jan 22, 1796.
Vis a vis Ladies Coop, 1776
The Times described predicaments regarding head feathers that were not new. Note how twenty years before, both high wigs AND feathers were accommodated. And, indeed, feathers, whether made from ostrich, emu, goose, or peacock, remained popular as a head dress for years to come.
The headdress, while always including a veil, also required feathers as part of it, although, the number and size of the feathers varied with the Monarchy. At the time of Queen Charlotte, young ladies wore one single towering ostrich feather, but through the years, the number of feathers required increased. By the Edwardian Era, the widespread use of feathers to decorate hats and bonnets began the passage of laws that restricted using certain types of bird's feathers.*
Queen Victoria hated small feathers, so orders were issued that Her Majesty wanted to see the feathers as the young lady approached. Later in Queen Victoria's reign, as well as in the court of Edward VII, the mandated headdress was three feathers arranged in a Prince of Wales plume–that is, the center feather was higher than the two on each side of it–and it was worn slightly on the left side of the head. Tiaras were worn by married women, and it was extremely difficult to keep the feathers in place, especially during the curtsy.

Princess Charlotte's Bellflower Court Dress, 1814-1816
Posted in Fashions, jane austen, Jane Austen's World, Regency style, Regency World, tagged Bellflower dress 1814-16, Court dress, Museum of London Exhibit, Princess Charlotte, Regency Fashion on February 22, 2009| 10 Comments »
Princess Charlotte's Court Dress, 1814-16, also known as the Bellflower Dress
When I saw Princess Charlotte's bellflower court dress (1814-16) at the Museum of London I remember being transfixed and standing in front of the glass case for a half hour. I could not get over the exquisite details and embroidery of this gossamer thin gown, and wondered at the hours it took to create it, the number of seamstresses that must have toiled over it, and its cost. It was so beautiful that I mistook it for a wedding dress. The train, which showed slight damage where some of the embroidered bells were missing, is similar to the one on Princess Charlotte's silver net wedding gown. Tradition has it that this court dress was made for Princess Charlotte on her engagement in 1814. The bellflowers were fashioned from silk covered wire and net decorated with silver thread darning and the tiny beads were made from blown glass. (The London Look, p 22)
The Museum of London website states that this sumptuous dress, which is "covered with hundreds of tiny three-dimensional bellflowers, exemplifies the technical excellence of London's dress-makers in this period. The dress needed 600 hours of conservation work and is so fragile it may never be shown in public again."
Detail of bells and net embroidery
Short in stature and slightly dumpy, and not known for her fashion sense, Princess Charlotte could easily afford elaborate costumes. Her provisioners included the William King of Pall Mall, a silk mercer, and Mrs. Triaud and Mrs. Bean, London dressmakers who worked on her trousseau. (The London Look, p 22.)
According to a contemporary description, the Princess entered her mother's drawing room in May 1815 in an exquisitely beautiful dress that (from the description) looked similar to the bellflower dress:
Gold lama and white draperies over a petticoat of rich white satin and gold twisted trimming; train of rich figured white satin, body elegantly trimmed with rich gold and blond lace; head-dress, plume of ostrich feathers, with a beautiful diadem of brilliants; necklace and ear-rings of diamonds. – The London Look, p 24

Sugar-rich diet feeds the rise of new superbug
Stock Image: PA
Sarah Knapton
August 13 2019 2:30 AM
The West's sugar-rich diet is supporting the emergence of a superbug which has evolved to thrive in hospitals, scientists have warned.
https://www.independent.ie/irish-news/health/sugar-rich-diet-feeds-the-rise-of-new-superbug-38398564.html
https://www.independent.ie/incoming/07496/38398427.ece/AUTOCROP/h342/PL16158081Overeating%20doubl.jpg
The gut-infecting bacterium Clostridium difficile (C-diff) is evolving into two separate species, with one increasingly adapting to live in the guts of people with poor diets, while growing ever better at overcoming the disinfectants used to clean wards.
Patients infected with C-diff can experience debilitating diarrhoea and are left dangerously dehydrated. Bacteria are becoming increasingly resistant to antibiotics, and if an infection is not treated quickly it can be fatal.
Nearly 2,000 people die from the bacterium each year in Britain, where researchers at the Wellcome Sanger Institute and London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine looked at the genetics of 906 strains of C-diff from 33 countries.
They found a dangerous new species is rapidly emerging which can beat common hospital disinfectants and spread easily. And poor diets are making the problem worse.
Dr Trevor Lawley, the senior author, said: "Strains of C-diff bacteria have continued to evolve in response to modern diets and healthcare systems and reveal that focusing on diet and looking for new disinfectants could help in the fight against this bacteria."
Researchers found that the new emerging species made up around 70pc of the samples from hospital patients.

The rumour mill in Bollywood has gone into overdrive, with Govinda's absence from the Raavan music launch on April 24th leading some to suggest that Govinda is unhappy with how his role in Mani Ratnam's upcoming film turned out.
It seems that on viewing the rushes of Raavan, the funnyman was disappointed to discover that his role – fairly small to begin with – was much smaller than he had imagined. According to the gossip, Govinda stayed away from the star-studded music launch (that the rest of the cast attended) in Mumbai in protest.
In the film, Govinda plays a forest ranger who helps Vikram's character through dense forest to track Abhishek Bachchan's character. Contrary to widespread belief, Govinda is not playing a character based on Hanuman. "Mani Ratnam has not made a mythological film. And I'm certainly not playing Hanuman!" he says.
The comic acknowledges his role in Raavan is now a guest appearance, but says that regardless of the size of the role, working with Mani Ratnam has been a valuable experience for him.

Shetland Pony Price: How Much Do They Cost?
Shetlands have become one of the most popular breeds of ponies. Originally from the Shetland Isles of Scotland, these hardy and compact ponies date all the way back to the 8th or 9th centuries.
A Shetland pony will cost on average between $500 to $3,000. Champion show ponies and top breeding stallions may sell for $4,000 or more. Factors such as type, bloodline, show record, and age can all play a role in the price of a Shetland pony.
Shetland ponies are smart, sturdy, versatile, and of course, adorable. They are a popular pony breed for small children. Shetlands are also popular show ponies, competing in pony hunters, carriage driving, modern fine harness, and roadster driving. They can be almost any color and on average, stand between 9.3-11.2 hands tall.
Factors That Affect the Cost of a Shetland Pony
When finding out how much a Shetland Pony will cost, these are some of the main factors that will determine the price:
Types/Bloodlines
American Shetland ponies tend to have a more refined build than the Shetland ponies found in the UK. Traditional Shetlands tend to have a shorter, sturdier build with fuller coats.
The American Shetland Pony Club has two studbooks: Division A and Division B. Division A are classic Shetland ponies that have the hardy, rugged builds inherited from their Shetland Isle ancestors. Division B ponies have more refined, elegant builds from outcrossing with Hackneys or Welsh ponies.
The American Shetland Pony Club also recognizes four types of Shetlands: Foundation, Classic, Modern and Modern Pleasure. Foundation Shetlands tend to be smaller, bigger-bodied, with no Hackney blood, and tend to be closer to the original imported Shetlands. Classic Shetlands are elegant and durable, known for their refinement and versatility.
Modern Shetlands are athletic, graceful, animated and with a high head carriage, making them popular in roadster, fine harness, and pleasure driving. Modern Pleasure Shetlands are similar to Modern Shetlands as they are refined and graceful, but they do not have as much animation as the moderns do.
Some people will pay top dollar for the different types of Shetlands that possess quality bloodlines. Buyers will seek out horses with champion bloodlines and are willing to pay more for well-bred horses.
Training will influence the price you pay for a Shetland. Ponies that are from top show barns with vast training will generally go for more money.
Just like with horses, training a pony can be expensive. A professional trainer will work a pony multiple times a week to keep them in top shape. Show ponies are generally kept in training to keep them in shape for competing. So, a pony that is in show training will cost more than one that only gets worked a couple of times a month.
Show Record
Shetlands are popular show ponies for people of all ages. They are popular as children's jumping mounts and driving ponies for both children and adults.
Shetland ponies are stars in the show ring. They continue to grow in popularity as show ponies. Shetland ponies with top show records will often sell for $3,000-$8,000. Some of the most elite show ponies will go for $10,000 or more.
Age and Conformation
Considered the second smallest pony breed, Shetlands are compact, sturdy, and strong. Though conformation does vary slightly based on type, American Shetland ponies are strong, athletic, refined, and elegant. You can expect to pay more for a horse that checks all these characteristics off.
In addition to conformation, age will play a role in how much they cost. The prime age of a Shetland is around 6-15 years old. Ponies in this age range will be their most fit for riding and driving. Once a pony is in its late teens or early 20s, it will often sell for much less.
Shetland ponies come in all colors and coat patterns besides leopard-spotted, like Appaloosas. Some color enthusiasts will seek out more unique colors. People may pay more for less common colors like gray, buckskin, and perlino.
Monthly Costs of a Shetland Pony
It is important to take into consideration the monthly expenses to own a Shetland pony before buying one. Horse boarding generally costs between $150-$1,000 a month, depending on location and if your pony lives in a stall or pasture.
Board generally includes the cost of food, bedding, and basic care. Your pony will need its hooves done by a farrier every 6-8 weeks, which typically costs between $45-$150. Annual veterinary costs will generally be $200-$400. In addition dentistry costs around $80-$250 every six months to a year.
Other Options Besides Buying
Buying a horse isn't practical for everyone, but fortunately, there are other options available. Leasing and joint ownership are two popular alternatives to owning your own horse.
Some owners will offer their pony up for lease. This gives you the ability to have partial or full use of a pony at a more budget-friendly price. In some situations, a limited liability company (LLC) or partnership is an option, which will divide up the costs of buying and owning a Shetland.
Owning a Shetland Pony
Whether you are looking for a trusty companion or a fun and flashy show pony, Shetlands are a great choice. They are versatile and beautiful, making them a wonderful option for both children and adults.
Though prices do vary, you can get a quality Shetland for $500-$3,000. These adorable ponies are gentle, hardy, and intelligent. If you are interested in buying a pony, Shetlands are a great choice.

You've pleaded guilty to a federal crime and face imprisonment—maybe even 10 years—and have basically thrown yourself on the mercy of the court. Frankly, some judges aren't so merciful at all. Now, typically defendants aren't sentenced to the "maximum"; but still, if the prosecutor is asking for stiff time, the judge will pay great attention to that recommendation. Even more so if the probation department's report agrees. Your attorney makes all the legal arguments for why leniency is appropriate. And he and your supporters write the judge expressing your considerable remorse and good works.
The judge, though, has heard it all a thousand times before—maybe more. You might even break down and cry in the courtroom on that day of judgment—believe me, the judge has seen that many times too! Actually, there are some defendants, actually most, who aren't remorseful about their crime; rather, they simply regret that they got caught and that their families have to suffer. Many defendants may talk the talk, but without sincerity. Yes, some pull it off better than others and, depending on the judge, their display may be believed. Or not.
I recognize how this sounds, but think about how often you have discredited the "remorse" of others, including (maybe especially) your children. You may want to believe them because they're family, but deep down often you simply can't!
So the question may come down to this: How can a judge confidently credit the bona fides of a defendant's stated remorse in order to accord him leniency? And even if the defendant's remorse is not overly sincere, can a judge somehow convert the defendant's stated sentiments into something that actually benefits society? For, indeed, "general deterrence"—the goal of deterring the criminal conduct of others—is a key component of sentencing. That is, a sentence not necessarily (or at least only) designed to deter you, but to deter the community at large.
Judge Valerie E. Caproni of the Southern District of New York, not at all shy when sentencing criminal defendants, particularly white-collar ones, may have hit on just the right answer. That is, to transform ostensible (or even real) remorse into meaningful and bold action. It was particularly the case here where Kevin Shuler not only cooperated after being charged, but gave critical testimony in the Buffalo Billions investigation which led to the convictions of four others—a serious New York corruption scandal. Judge Caproni, although these weren't her words, basically told Shuler: You want me to sentence you to probation (or, "supervised release" as they call it in the federal system) even though you admit that your crime was serious? Okay, but, sentencing you to a term of probation with periodic visits to your officer (perhaps with a urine test as part of the bargain), even combined with some undirected community service of 400 hours, isn't nearly enough.
And so Shuler will presumably tell students exactly what he did, exactly what the potential consequences for doing it were, and exactly why he became a sacrificial lamb, now exposed to public obloquy, so that still-impressionable students don't do the same stupid, jail-worthy things. Just imagine, students getting a dose of what could possibly happen to them, from someone who it has already happened to and only "escaped" (after indictment, cooperation, shaming publicity and trial) by the skin of his teeth.
This type of sentence is actually music to my ears. I actually had recommended that such a regimen be proposed to his sentencing judge by a defendant I know, before sentence was actually imposed. The problem, his able lawyers told me, was that the defendant wouldn't introspectively have been able to pull it off. Perhaps, in his case, he wasn't truly remorseful or couldn't candidly articulate the type of remorse that would impress that judge (they may well be different). Or, the defendant wouldn't have gotten a big enough bang for his buck from the judge, particularly given the likely stiff sentence he would receive under any circumstances—he wasn't a cooperator. Meaning, the judge might make the "remorse lecture circuit" only a small part of his sentence—at the tail end after a lengthy prison term. Moreover, that defendant had been convicted after trial and intended to appeal the conviction. A post-conviction admission of guilt (a predicate for exhibiting remorse), might have compromised his appeal. Maybe, all true.
Still, as in the case of Kevin Shuler, who had actually shown remorse by cooperating with the government, most defendants who are prosecuted, at least in the federal system, plead guilty. Counsel for every such defendant facing potential imprisonment needs to urge the sentencing judges to be creative and think outside the box. And they need to come to the judge with their creativity, particularly after studying the judge's track record. Shuler's capable attorney, Terry Connors of Buffalo, did just that by asking a typically "tough" sentencing judge to help enhance general deterrence in sentencing a defendant perhaps already on his way to demonstrating true regret for what he had done.
Kudos to Connors. And kudos to Judge Caproni.

Squat exercises work your entire lower body, including the muscles of your buttocks, hips and thighs. When you add weight to the squat movement in the form of dumbbells, you increase the difficulty (and effectiveness) of the movement with the added resistance. Both men and women of all ages can do the dumbbell squat exercise, but make sure you're comfortable with the squat movement before adding dumbbells. Have several different dumbbell weights available so that you can adjust resistance as needed. Most people should start with a light weight (generally, 5 to 10 pounds for women and 10 to 20 for men), and move up from there. Consult your doctor before starting this or any exercise regimen.
Hold one dumbbell in each hand. Stand with your feet approximately shoulder-width apart with your toes angled slightly outward. Space your feet out a little wider if it feels more comfortable.
Hold the dumbbells right next to your side with your palms facing in. If holding the weights at your sides feels uncomfortable, change your hand placement and perform the dumbbell front squat as suggested by the American Council on Exercise: Simply bend your elbows and raise the dumbbells to chest height. This is a slightly different way to perform the exercise, but it targets your legs in the same fashion.
Keep your chest and torso upright and facing straight ahead as you push your hips backward and bend your knees. You may feel tempted to tip forward at the hips, pointing your chest toward the ground, but avoid doing this, as it could strain your lower back and cause injury.
Keep your weight concentrated in your heels as you lower your body toward the floor. You may even want to wiggle your toes to remind yourself to keep your weight pushed through your heels. This will help you keep your shins perpendicular to the floor, preventing your knees from protruding over your toes, which can lead to injury.
Lower your body until your knees form a 90-degree angle with your knees remaining behind your toes.
Allow your arms to hang straight down in line with your knees as you perform the movement. If you're performing the dumbbell front squat, simply keep your arms bent and the dumbbells at your chest throughout the routine.
Press through your heels and return to the starting position, keeping your knees slightly bent at the top of the movement, refraining from locking, or fully straightening, your knees.
Repeat the exercise 12 to 15 times, or until the last one or two repetitions feels almost too hard to perform. This varies based on strength, the amount of weight you're using and your comfort with the exercise. If you find yourself performing 15 repetitions without difficulty, increase the weight of the dumbbells you are using.
Rest one to two minutes, then choose a slightly heavier dumbbell and perform another set of 10 to 15 repetitions. According to certified strength and conditioning specialist Lance Williams, when choosing a heavier dumbbell, choose a weight between 5 to 10 percent heavier than the weight you just lifted, or choose the next available weight increment.
Fix your eyes on a spot just above head height to help remind you to keep your chest upright and forward-facing throughout the exercise.
Allowing your knees to protrude in front of your toes can cause knee pain or injury. Focus on bending backward from the hips rather than bending forward from the knee to help prevent injury.

And finally, we reported with great sadness in early December the passing of a great local artist, friend to the Hell's Kitchen Flea and Hell's Kitchen Foundation grant winner Judy Negron. In memory of Judy, who had exhibited her work all over the world, a gallery show and exhibition of her work has been set for Thursday, January 26, 6-8 pm, at the Jadite Gallery at 660 Tenth Avenue.
We'll be open bright and early on Saturday morning and hope to see you at the Hell's Kitchen Flea for the last market of 2016, celebrating the conclusion of a great year marked by more vendors, more shoppers, and more live events than at any time in recent memory.
This year we launched a series of exciting events to make the market experience even more special for vendors and shoppers alike. In early fall, the market welcomed the famed printmakers of Big Ink, who brought a dozen nationally known printmakers to Hell's Kitchen to demonstrate their unique art on one of the art world's biggest printing presses.
On Halloween weekend, the world famous Maniac Pumpkin Carvers provided an unforgettable demonstration, drawing a large crowd as they transformed a simple pumpkin into a stunning likeness of the Hell's Kitchen Flea Market devil before our eyes.
Visitors to the market were also fascinated by the mosaic-making demonstration of local artist Judy Negron, whose work was known to art lovers locally and around the world. Later in the year, the Hell's Kitchen community was saddened to learn of Judy's passing and we will miss her.
With a dynamic new manager, the Hell's Kitchen Flea attracted dozens of new vendors and scores more shoppers from the New York area--as well as visitors from more than 30 countries. The market launched new vendor services and welcomed many unique new sellers from all over the world. Shoppers discovered Turkish ceramics, Indian textiles, and Kenyan carving, in addition to the well-known, handcrafted jewelry and the leather jackets that have drawn crowds to the market for years. Treasure hunters have never found so many unexpected treasures as the flea had to offer this year.
In 2017 we hope to bring you even more opportunities to enjoy a trip to Hell's Kitchen. Wishing everyone in the Hell's Kitchen Community a wonderful, healthy New Year! And in 2017, we hope to see you at the Flea!

It's a wonderful year when Halloween falls on a Monday! In New York City, that traditionally means New Yorkers set aside an entire weekend for enchanted revelry of all kinds. That means Hell's Kitchen Flea Market is where New Yorkers will kick off the weekend!
Please make sure to join us at 11AM on Saturday morning at the flea. There will be a demonstration of pumpkin carving by the Maniac Pumpkin Carvers. They are known worldwide for having perfected the art of pumpkin carving. Even if you can't make the demo, come visit us during the weekend to see these memorable sculptures!
Maniac Pumpkin Carvers was founded by Marc Evan (@marcmaniac) and Chris Soria (@chrissoria). They have been collaborating creatively for over 20 years.
Every year in high school, Marc and Chris spent weeks transforming a section of the school into a series of delightfully terrifying haunted houses. Then, while both studied at Parsons School of Design, the duo rekindled their love for pumpkin carving and decided to make a career out of it.
Maniac Pumpkin Carvers was formed with the mission of creating the best pumpkin artwork available. What started in a basement apartment has now grown to a full creative studio of talented artists and pumpkin carvers.
After experimenting and developing their own techniques, Marc and Chris soon began to push the boundaries of basic pumpkin carving. Word of mouth spread to the biggest names in New York, including the New York Yankees, Food Network, and Martha Stewart. Their art has even been displayed at The Museum of Modern Art, the Whitney Museum, Yankee Stadium. Other appearances include Good Morning America, Rachael Ray, The Kitchen, The Chew, Wired, Popular Mechanics, Yahoo News, CNN, and more. They even have been the winners of Food Network's Halloween Wars.

This weekend, renowned artists and printmakers from all over the country will take part in BIG INK's large scale woodcut, printing demonstration. It will be located at the Hell's Kitchen Flea Market, from 10AM – 5PM on both Saturday and Sunday. The rain or shine event is an all-out extravaganza at the Flea Market. The Flea is located on West 39th Street between 9th and 10th Avenues.
Thirteen highly skilled printmakers will travel from Manhattan, Brooklyn, and as far as Washington, D.C., Ohio, and Texas. They will contributing carved woodblocks to be printed on throughout the day. BIG INK's staff of volunteers will be there to see the production happen on the giant printing press.
Woodcutting is a printing process that involves carving an image onto a flat, wood surface. It is a very, very old type of artform. The carved wood areas that display "white" or highlights are cut away using a chisel. The top, original surface of the wood remains "black". This surface level of the wood is then covered by a paint roller with high quality ink. The wood is pressed onto paper, which transfers the ink. The final result is a lovely finished print.
P.S. Do not forget to mark your calendars! The Maniac Pumpkin Carvers will be with us next weekend at the Flea. They are New York's nationally recognized pumpkin sculptors! The carving will start at 11AM.
See you at the Hell's Kitchen Flea Market!
Witness Big Ink's one-of-a-kind giant mobile press in action as they demonstrate large scale woodcut printing to the public from 10 am – 5 pm. This event will be held during Hell's Kitchen Flea Market. Come check them out on October 22nd and 23rd.
Big Ink will be debuting their mobile 48" x 96" printmaking press in NYC. View many print makers from Manhattan to Brooklyn and as far as Ohio and Texas. They will be printed throughout the day by BIG INK's staff of volunteers.
Big Ink organizes print related programming for museums, art festivals, as well as local and nationally recognized print studios. This event is sponsored by the Manhattan Graphics Center, a studio that provides an accessible environment for the learning and practice of fine art printmaking.
FYI! This event is rain or shine! It is an all-out extravaganza at the Hell's Kitchen Flea Market. You don't want to miss it!
And then… there is the grand finale right before Halloween! The Maniac Pumpkin Carvers will also be visiting Hell's Kitchen Flea Market. They will be at the market on Saturday the 29th of October.
Fall is here! Hell's Kitchen Flea Market has nearly doubled in size since the end of summer! In the past few weeks, we welcomed close to a dozen new vendors.
Last weekend, shoppers at the Hell's Kitchen Flea found new vendors like local artist David Pringle, who brought original art. He was selling hand-crafted wallpaper, handmade crystal finials, and an unforgettable feathered evening clutch. The clutch caught the eye of New York's premiere expert on flea market treasure and author of Markets of New York: Karen Seiger.
As we gear up for fall events and the holiday season, shoppers from the neighborhood have joined treasure hunters from around the world. Skull rings, skateboards, and screen printed tees attracted one little shopper. Their treasure hunting was only interrupted long enough to greet Vincent the bulldog.
Also, for first time ever, the HK Flea held an artist demonstration. Judy Negron is Hell's Kitchen's renowned mosaic artist and recent winner of a Hell's Kitchen Foundation Visual Arts grant. She gave a demonstration of her art last Sunday. This marked the first in our occasional series of events showcasing local artists.
On October 22/23, the world famous print-makers, Big Ink will bring their uniquely gigantic printing press to demonstrate the art of fine print making.
Halloween Eve, Saturday, October 29th, the Flea will welcome the Maniac Pumpkin Carvers. They transform ordinary-looking squash into striking likenesses of Michael Jackson and more. Join us!

Vinyl enthusiasts know there is a huge selection of vinyl at multiple stalls at the flea market. You can find vintage records such as The Beatles, Prince, Michael Jackson, Rod Stewart, Alice Cooper, and more. People said MP3s would take over the music world, but it seems records are here to stay. You can also go even farther back in time and purchase an authentic Victrola or 78 records.
Street style in Manhattan is nothing without Hell's Kitchen Flea Market. There is vintage and new items. You can find a new, embellished French Connection dress that costs $300, but at the flea it is only $30! There are a ton of vintage fur coats, army uniforms, leather jackets, vintage dresses, petticoats, button-down shirts as well. There is also clothing from many parts of the world.
It would not be a flea market with the wonderful collection of jewelry. There is vintage silver pieces that are a steal, handmade jewelry from local artisans in New York City, beaded necklaces from other countries, antique pins, rings, bracelets, cufflinks, and more. Some vendors sell lapel pins, which are huge right now. For accessories, there are purses, shoes (including spiked platforms!), masks, army bags, vintage designer handbags, vintage glasses, and many other reasonably priced items. There are even old fire hats to get ready for Halloween.
Hell's Kitchen Flea Market has many local artists that have booths. They also have a grant program you should check out! Anyways, not only is there new art you could buy at a reasonable price… there is vintage and antique art too! There are vintage lithographic prints, screen prints, band posters, sculptures, paintings, and more!
Interior designers come to the flea market to find inspiration. Vintage home décor is trending in restaurants, apartments, coffee shops, and other places in New York City. There are vintage instruments, small pieces of furniture, old school telephones, retro kitchen goods, silverware, vintage bottles and boxes, antique cameras, cigar boxes, retro toys, and many other items for sale.
For many locals, leaving New York City is very expensive. The cool thing is New York City is a global hub. We have multiple vendors who sell items from many parts of the world. You can purchase items from Nepal, Africa, Middle East, Central America, and many other places. There are dyed fabrics, glassworks, sculptures, artworks, purses, ceramics, beads, jewelry from all over the world.
The past weekend at the market was busier than ever. A dozen new vendors and lots of shoppers visited from around town and the world. Also, Sunday shoppers were treated to a demonstration of mosaics by Hell's Kitchen Foundation grant recipient and local artist, Judy Negron.
Judy is a mosaic artist, etcher, and painter. She has exhibited nationally and internationally in: la Main D'Or, Paris, Assisi, Italy, Cadaques, Spain, Museum of Modern Art Wales. In the U.S.; NYU Gallery, Kathryn Markel Gallery, Prince Street Invitational, Jadite Gallery.
Our vendors were out in force and Sunday was a particularly busy day. There were hand-painted shirts from our favorite Tibetan jewelry stall and skull rings that are just in time for Halloween.
We also met new vendor/local artist David Pringle. David's table was popular with customers. He sold handmade glass finials and hand crafted wallpaper.
Come join us this fall and meet new vendors!
Last weekend, Hell's Kitchen Flea Market welcomed many new vendors and artisans. This included a demonstration from local mosaic artist Judy Negron who recently won a visual arts grant from The Hell's Kitchen Foundation. Judy showed her mosaic techniques to flea market customers on Sunday from 12-2PM.
In fact, bases for Judy's sculptures were purchased from Hell's Kitchen Flea Market. For example, the bases of the works "Fish out of Water, ($1600) and the head bust "She", ($2000) were found at the flea market. The bases for "The Walkers" ($1800 for the set or $400 each) are also some examples.
These works of art, created by Judy Negron, can be seen at the Judite Gallery on 660 Tenth Avenue between 46th and 47th. The show is on until this Saturday. The hours are 11-6.
Judy is a mosaic artist, etcher, and painter (sometimes combining all three techniques in one work). She has exhibited nationally and internationally. Some exhibitions include; la Main D'Or, Paris, Assisi, Italy, Cadaques, Spain, Museum of Modern Art Wales. In the U.S.; NYU Gallery, Kathryn Markel Gallery, Prince Street Invitational, Jadite Gallery. Her work is included in The Museum of Modern Art collection, the collection of Deepak Chopra, La Sirene restaurant, Taureau Restaurant, The Wine Escape, and many other private collections.

The Hell's Kitchen Flea Market is located on 39th St. between Ninth and Tenth Avenues, and is open from 9-5 every Saturday and Sunday. Admission is free.

The Spin-off
New Shows Losing Viewers Faster & the Media and Trump
Hosted by Michael Schneider and Josef Adalian Mar. 17, 2016
We take a look at some of the numbers from this television season -- it's no surprise that that ratings are down, but it's interesting to see which shows are losing viewers the fastest. Newer shows, even big ones, are having a tougher time holding on to an audience, while older shows seem to have stabilized.
Then we talk about a place where ratings are way, way up -- that would be any network broadcasting a GOP debate. In their combined years of covering television, no one on The Spin-off has ever seen anything quite like the media's reaction to Donald Trump. We discuss why that is, and when and if the networks ever have a responsibility to pull the cord on a public figure, even when they're doing wonders for the ratings.
End of show Downloads:
Sandra: The People vs. O.J. Simpson continues to be compelling, can't miss television, even if you know what's going to happen.
Joe: Samantha Bee is redefining TBS's comedy brand with her show Full Frontal. Joe's only complaint is that it's only on once a week.
Mike: Emmy season is upon us! Well, sort of. Networks are starting to campaign earlier than ever, and this year, thanks to some rule changes, there will likely be more digital shorts and series in the mix.

In today's technological era, it's difficult to part ways with your cell phone for a couple minutes, let alone an entire month. But, the students at Billerica Memorial High School in Billerica, Mass., are up for the challenge.
When the players on the school's varsity hockey team first learned that 12-year-old Ian Cadden, who plays PeeWee hockey, is battling leukemia, they made him an honorary captain and had him throw out the puck at one of their games, WBZ-TV reported.
The players also began brainstorming way to raise money for Ian's treatments.
That's when Glen Corbett, the father of one of the players, stepped in and suggested the team give up their cell phones. He thought it would be a great way to get adults to donate money, according to ABC News.
The team was on board and are now giving up their phones from April 17 to May 16 -- and calling the fundraiser "Celling Out for Leukemia."
The hockey players got the word out about what they were doing and other students were interested in taking part. Now, they have collected 101 cell phones in total, which are being kept at the local police department until May 16.
"We would do anything for that kid," Cal Johnson, a sophomore hockey player told the Lowell Sun. "It's only 30 days, not that bad. Hopefully this becomes a tradition to help anyone going through hard times."
The plan is that each student who gives up their phone for 30 days then reaches out to the community asking for a sponsor. Community members decide how much they are willing to give. Some are donating $1 a day for the 30 days. Some businesses are helping out by sponsoring for $500, $300 or $150.
"Any high school-aged kid who is willing to give up their cell phone for a cause like this is incredible to me," Corbett told the Lowell Sun.
Ian spends his Tuesdays receiving chemotherapy, attends school a few days each week and skates around to exercise his legs and get out of the house.
"He's a tough kid. A fighter," Ian's dad and coach of the Billerica Pee Wee hockey team, Bill Cadden, told the outlet. "Just to see him smile and his hair starting to grow back is amazing."
If you want to help, make checks out to "In It For Ian" and mail to: In It For Ian, 6 Estey Road, North Billerica, MA 01862.

NOSA Sprint Cars NOSA Sprints
Buffalo Wild Wings NOSA Sprints set for 29-race schedule in 2020
March 29, 2020 March 29, 2020 Mike Spieker 0 Comment NOSA Sprint Cars, NOSA Sprints, River Cities Speedway
GRAND FORKS, N.D. (March 29, 2020) – The Buffalo Wild Wings Northern Outlaw Sprint Association will set out in 2020 with a 29-race schedule. As has been the case for 26 of the 27 seasons, the series will open its 2020 season at the 3/10th mile bullring of River Cities Speedway in Grand Forks on Friday, April 24th.
River Cities Speedway will host 18 NOSA events this season, with Friday, August 14th being the lone event that will not pay series points as it conflicts with the 60th running of the NOS Energy Drink Knoxville Nationals.
The NOSA Sprints will make their 10th appearance in series history to Buffalo River Race Park in Glyndon, Minn. on Sunday, May 24th. They will return to the tight, semi-banked quarter-mile oval on Saturday, September 5th.
On Saturday, May 30th, the series will head 65 miles west of Grand Forks to Devils Lake Speedway in Doyon, N.D. for their only visit of the season.
For the first time since 1997, the NOSA Sprints will visit Ada, Minnesota's Norman County Raceway twice in a single season. Those two events are scheduled for Wednesday, June 24th and Thursday, August 6th.
A track that has quickly become a popular stop on the schedule has been the fast, high-banked quarter-mile of Casino Speedway. For the third consecutive year, the NOSA Sprints will return to the Watertown, S.D. oval with the event scheduled for Sunday, June 28th.
A three-race swing is set for the weekend of July 10-12th. It will begin with Friday night racing at River Cities Speedway, followed by NOSA's return to the "high-flying half-mile" of Viking Speedway in Alexandria, Minn. on Saturday, July 11th. The NOSA Sprints have competed at Viking Speedway 11 times, but it's been eight years since the series has last been there. The most recent event was won by Lakefield, Minnesota's Skylar Prochaska on August 25th, 2012.
The weekend will conclude with some #410sAndFerrisWheels with a visit to Red River Valley Speedway in West Fargo, N.D during the Red River Valley Fair on Sunday, July 12th. Red River Valley Speedway has hosted the NOSA Sprints eight times since 2012. Mark Dobmeier picked up the victory last year in what was his first career win at the speedway.
For the fourth consecutive year and 14th time overall, the Northern Outlaws will head to Jamestown Speedway in Jamestown, N.D. The event slated for Saturday, July 25th will offer another opportunity for the NOSA drivers to get up on the wheel on another high-banked, fast quarter-mile oval.
The NOSA schedule is highlighted by a double-header at Dacotah Speedway during the prestigious Governor's Cup for the third consecutive year. Big car counts and high speeds on the three-eighths mile oval will be seen on Friday, July 31st and Saturday, August 1st.
The 2020 schedule is subject to change given the current circumstances with COVID-19. For the latest information and any schedule changes, visit NOSAsprints.com or follow along on facebook.com/NOSAsprint or on Twitter @NOSAsprints.

Approachable. Friendly. Patient. Psychology Postgraduate (MSc, BSc) with a passion for teaching! Proof of certificates and up-to-date DBS clearance.
I work hard to understand my students' interests, strengths, and abilities so that I can form a strong, functional relationship with them. I am kind and friendly, as I like my students to feel comfortable enough to ask me questions and approach me if they feel hesitant or are struggling with a particular topic or concept. However, having worked with numerous students that exhibit challenging behaviours, I ensure that I am also assertive when need be.
I like to teach each student on an individual basis, by observing their learning style and determining what would be most beneficial for them. In some cases, I create fun and engaging lesson plans and include regular breaks; in other instances, I may encourage students to try and complete more challenging work. Whatever teaching method I use, I always aim to maximise my students' potential by channelling their strengths, whilst also identifying room for improvement. I also focus on praising and rewarding academic progress. When it is appropriate, I make my students feel as though they are a part of a team, and try and involve them as much as possible in decisions I make.
What separates me from other tutors is the combination of my passionate and driven personality with my enhanced relevant skill-set, postgraduate level knowledge, and years of experience working with young people and tutoring. Most importantly, I am motivated to make a difference and am therefore committed to producing the best possible work in this role.
Teaching has been my passion since I was in school. I started doing voluntary tuition classes whilst I was doing my A levels more than 10 years ago and have progressed steadily since then. I primarily tutor Maths and English at KS1/2 level, and specialise in preparing my students for their 11+ entrance examinations. I also tutor Psychology up to University level.
I have a BSc Psychology (1st Class, Honours) degree from UCL and was awarded a MSc in Applied Forensic Psychology with Distinction from the University of York. I currently work full time as an Assertive Outreach Tutor (AOT) for a service which provides day education for pupils in KS 2/3/4 and 5 with behavioural, emotional and social difficulties (SEMH) and also pupils with autistic spectrum conditions (ASC). I teach core curriculum subjects for KS2-5.
Over the years, I have worked with various young people with wide-ranging, special educational needs. I have become more confident and resilient after working with children who have complex individual and family histories and have developed a greater awareness of safeguarding and child protection issues. In my current role, I conduct regular risk assessments, make daily observations of my students' presentation and liaise with the team around the child in order to offer the best possible support for them.
Additional travel expenses can vary depending on the location.
Awarded the 2017 Project Prize and Distinction for research project.
Distinction in all Statistics modules undertaken.
Distinction for final year research project.

Yes that was an excellent clip about meaning and purpose of work which was great. It reminds me of my father in law who has given sight to around 200 people who were blind, many where African, who had never seen but when they did they danced with joy. He was one of the leading eye surgeons in his time. Thanks so much it encouraging to listen to encouragers and leaders like yourself, its also good that we walk with humility and realise every we have been given to bless mankind is a precious gift and we are to never abuse it but to give thank to Him who gave it to us .

Our goal is to educate people about the medicinal benefits of cannabis through a media platform and encourage them to seek out the best quality of life they can. Many Americans are already sick, and many of the medications physicians prescribe have side-effects that have the potential to harm more than heal. Our mission at Medical Marijuana 411 and www.MedicalMarijuana411.com is to spotlight the medicinal research that is available, as well as feature some of the physicians and scientists doing their research, and let the patients speak for themselves about the medicinal benefits of medical marijuana, in all its forms.
