I hope everyone had a great weekend. I wasn't originally going to take a break from posting, but then I decided to give myself the days off, especially since I was in a temporary lull from deadlines for my freelance work. I felt guilty about it, but I'm glad I did. We spent a day at the state fair, cooked out twice, swam, and had a good time. My mom even made homemade funnel cake, yum!
But school starts tomorrow and it is already jeans and long-sleeve weather here today, though I hope that doesn't last.
Most of you probably know about the brand OXO, and you probably have some of their kitchen and storage solutions in your house right now; I do. Of course, they do more, but one of the best things OXO does is partner with Cookies for Kids' Cancer, a non-profit organization founded by two of their employees, Gretchen and Larry Witt.
Many of us in magazines know Gretchen from her PR work for OXO. I was working at O Magazine in 2007 when her then-two-year-old son Liam was diagnosed with a rare cancer. At Traditional Home, we had just months before honored Gretchen (as a Classic Woman Award recipient for her work raising money and awareness for pediatric cancer), when Liam lost his courageous battle in January 2011.
When starting the treatment process with their son, the Witts were surprised to learn that despite pediatric cancer being the #1 disease killer of children, there was a significant lack of funding for research and development of safer, more effective treatments. They dedicated themselves to raising money for the cause, and have done so through huge bake sales. The foundation provides the tools and support for fundraising bake sales of all sizes and their own gourmet cookies are for sale at their website.
September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month and OXO is partnering with Cookies for Kids' Cancer for their annual program: for each specially-marked OXO baking product sold, 25 cents goes to Cookies for Kids' Cancer as part of its pledge to donate up to $100,000.
I know it's a little early to think about the holidays, but if you plan on upgrading or replacing any of your baking tools prior to cookie-baking season, please consider the specially-marked OXO Good Grips products.
I am thankful to have two currently healthy daughters, but I know others who are, or have been, where the Witts were, including a friend of mine. I was honored to meet the unfailingly positive Liam, and his parents are a constant inspiration. Each year, in honor of my daughters' birthdays, I make a donation to Cookies for Kids' Cancer.

1 March 2012: The HANDA FALDO CAMBODIAN CLASSIC will make its debut on the Asian Tour from March 14 to 17, 2012 with six-time Major Champion Sir Nick Faldo set to co-host the inaugural tournament and initiate a charity drive in the country.
"Dr Handa has been incredibly generous around the world and to development through this sport. I am happy to team up with him in Cambodia and build opportunity and awareness through golf,\ said Faldo. "With his commitment we have built participation in the Faldo Series to 7,000 plus golfers in 27 countries annually. Many of our young champions, including the great Yani Tseng, are from Asia. It is an opportunity and an inspiration.
Dr Handa is the Chairman of the International Sports Promotion Society (ISPS) and has supported golf at varied levels for more than 25 years, currently sponsoring a number of professional tournaments around the world, using them as a platform to promote opportunities for blind and disabled golfers. Dr Handa's continued commitment to blind and disabled golf is the foundation of his wider mission for golf to become a Paralympic sport.
Dr Handa was also instrumental in the launch of the ISPS Handa Singapore Classic, which will return for its third edition on the Asian Tour in April. In 2012, ISPS is also sponsoring golf events on the European Tour, LPGA Tour, Ladies European Tour, European Senior Tour, Golf Australia and Japan PGA, plus the Faldo Series, Faldo's global golf development programme.
Asian Tour Executive Chairman Kyi Hla Han said: "We are delighted to play a key role towards the development of professional golf in Cambodia through the staging of the HANDA FALDO CAMBODIAN CLASSIC.
"By bringing world-class golf to Cambodia, we believe that it will spur the growth of the golf industry and ultimately create new opportunities for its people. I would like to thank Dr Handa for his continued commitment to the game, including his work together on the Faldo Series, and for taking the lead in helping the Cambodian community.
"We are also delighted to be visiting Angkor Golf Resort for the first time. The course is magnificent and with an emphasis on strategy it will pose an exciting challenge for our players at the tournament," said Han.

SortCL is the powerful data manipulation program and popular user interface driving almost every IRI software product. Short for Sort Control Language, SortCL is an award-winning fourth generation language (4GL), standalone executable, and callable library routine for managing structured and semi-structured data.
IRI Voracity, which includes all of the above, supporting and combining multiple data discovery, integration, migration, governance, and analytic use cases. The Hadoop-enabled edition of Voracity can also run several SortCL programs interchangeably in MapReduce 2, Spark, Spark Stream, Storm, and Tez.
SortCL is therefore what makes CoSort and Voracity a one-stop, one-I/O "super tool" for data transformation, conversion, cleansing, mapping, and reporting. SortCL's extensive data manipulation and movement capabilities -- detailed in the tabs above, and listed in this diagram under the CoSort logo -- can be combined in a single job and pass through huge volumes of data.
SortCL uses an open, explicit metadata to define, manipulate and reformat their data in more than 150 disparate file and database sources. SortCL syntax is self-documenting; anyone can read, recognize, and modify SortCL programs with ease.
SortCL uses simple English statements based originally on VMS sort parms and now also familiar SQL, C, and Perl expressions. Unlike cryptic ETL, 3GL, and MapReduce programs, no training is needed to understand what a SortCL script will do.
But for those who cannot or simply will not learn another language, there's a powerful GUI to save them from it. IRI Workbench is a graphical integrated development environment (IDE), built on Eclipse,™ for creating, running, sharing, and modifying SortCL jobs, and their "data definition file (DDF)" source and target layouts.
SortCL job scripts perform, speed, and/or combine: big data transformation, conversion, protection, and BI in the world's largest production environments.
Quickly find and re-use SortCL metadata in multiple IRI products and projects to meet your data processing, protection, presentation, and prototyping requirements. Use SortCL job scripts and DDF layouts across the IRI ecosystem, and manage their use and lineage directly in Eclipse or available cloud repositories like Git, CVS, and SVN.
SortCL DDF is also compatible with the Erwin (ex-AnalytiX DS) Mapping Manager, and the Meta Integration Model Bridge (MIMB) from Meta Integration Technology, Inc. Convert the metadata already used in your BI, CRM, database, ETL, and modeling tools, into the metadata used in all IRI software. This preserves your investment in existing metadata, and allows you to more quickly leverage the benefits of IRI software running with (or instead of) those applications.

The Autonomous University of Beni "José Ballivián" (BAU) in the Plurinational State of Bolivia presented SGI President Daisaku Ikeda with the degree of Doctor, honoris causa, in recognition of his contributions to humanity and the advancement of peace, culture and education around the world. The ceremony was held at the SGI-Bolivia Culture Center in Santa Cruz on June 15, 2015, and was attended by BAU Rector Luis Carlos Zambrano Aguirre, BAU faculty and student representatives. SGI Vice President Hiromasa Ikeda accepted the award on behalf of his father.
Autonomous University of Beni is a national university founded on November 18, 1967, and carries the name of former Bolivian president, José Ballivián. With 15,000 students in eight faculties, the main campus of BAU is located in Trinidad, the capital of Beni in northern Bolivia.
In his congratulatory speech, Rector Zambrano said Mr. Ikeda is most deserving of this award and that there is no greater honor for the university than paying tribute to his accomplishments. In particular, Rector Zambrano noted Mr. Ikeda's principles for peace; his friendship and dialogue with people far and wide; his tireless efforts to advance culture, education and the arts; and his emphasis on fostering the youth who are the greatest treasures of this world.
In a message read by proxy, Mr. Ikeda expressed his joy in sharing this occasion with his beloved members of SGI-Bolivia. Referring to the sun depicted in the coat of arms of Beni, Mr. Ikeda stated that education is the sun that illuminates the future. "In the brilliance of the sun is the 'light' that pierces the darkness of uncertainty, the 'passion' that warms the lives of all living beings and the 'energy' to create the future of our planet earth." In conclusion, Mr. Ikeda shared his hopes to work together with the BAU faculty and students to generate powerful, indestructible energy with the invincible spirit of "perseverance" and "endurance" that Bolivians are known for and build a global society of peace and harmonious coexistence.


Single image rain streaks removal has recently witnessed substantial progress due to the development of deep convolutional neural networks. However, existing deep learning based methods either focus on the entrance and exit of the network by decomposing the input image into high and low frequency information and employing residual learning to reduce the mapping range, or focus on the introduction of cascaded learning scheme to decompose the task of rain streaks removal into multi-stages. These methods treat the convolutional neural network as an encapsulated end-to-end mapping module without deepening into the rationality and superiority of neural network design. In this paper, we delve into an effective end-to-end neural network structure for stronger feature expression and spatial correlation learning. Specifically, we propose a non-locally enhanced encoder-decoder network framework, which consists of a pooling indices embedded encoder-decoder network to efficiently learn increasingly abstract feature representation for more accurate rain streaks modeling while perfectly preserving the image detail. The proposed encoder-decoder framework is composed of a series of non-locally enhanced dense blocks that are designed to not only fully exploit hierarchical features fromall the convolutional layers but also well capture the long-distance dependencies and structural information. Extensive experiments on synthetic and real datasets demonstrate that the proposed method can effectively remove rainstreaks on rainy image of various densities while well preserving the image details, which achieves significant improvements over the recent state-of-the-art methods.
We introduce an end-to-end convolutional neural network for single image de-raining, called non-locally enhanced encoder-decoder network (NLEDN). Our framework contains a fully convolutional encoder-decoder network which has been proven able to learn complex pixel-wise mappings from large amount of input-output image pairs.
Particularly, in order to exploit the abundant structure cues in rain streak maps and the self-similarities in rainfree nature scenes, we propose the non-locally enhanced dense block (NEDB) as the basic component in our network architecture. We carefully integrate NEDBs with both encoding and decoding layers to enable the computation of long-range spatial dependencies as well as efficient usage of the feature activation of proceeding layers.
We compare our method against five existing methods, including DSC , GMM , DDN , JORDER , DID-MDN .
In this paper, we have introduced a non-locally enhanced encoder-decoder network framework for rain streaks removal from single images. It is designed as a concatenation of an encoder network followed by a corresponding decoder network, which are both composed of a series of tailored, non-locally enhanced dense blocks (NEDB). The NEDB is designed to not only fully exploit hierarchical features from densely connected convolutional layers but also well capture the long-distance dependencies and structural information by employing a non-locally weighting operation at a specific range of feature maps. Experimental results on both synthetic and real datasets have demonstrated that our proposed method can effectively remove rain-streaks on rainy image of various density while promisingly preserve the image texture similar to the rain streaks, which greatly outperforms the state-of-the-art. In our future research work, we plan to extend the proposed algorithm to a wider range of image restoration tasks, including but not limited to image denoising, image dehazing and image super-resolution.

The Enugu State Governor, Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi, has pledged to increase the number of women currently in his government so as to meet the 35 per cent affirmative action.
The governor made this known in Enugu on Tuesday while addressing over 1,000 women in state who staged a walk to the government house to demand for the inclusion of more women in government.
Ugwuanyi said he was happy that women from three political parties could come together to fight a just course describing it as a historical landmark.
He said no good government could ignore the place of women in politics because they were influential and to a large extent, determine the progress of a state.
He said: "My 12 years at the National Assembly has afforded me the opportunity of traveling to 156 countries and I have discovered that these countries are rapidly making progress.
"Reason being that they have learnt that women are powerful and as such, they give them key government positions to oversee.
"This, also, has been my conviction and my motivation for appointing women to certain key positions when I became the governor.
"Because you are demanding for more and having been convinced by the capability of women already in my government to deliver effectively, I will begin processing your demands immediately.
Ugwuanyi added that a government that ignored women did so at its peril and was bound to be retrogressive.
In her remarks, the Deputy Governor of the state, Cecilia Ezeilo, appreciated the women for jettisoning their different political differences to fight for their rights.
She said that her being chosen as a deputy governor for the first time in history is a pointer that the governor recognized the place of women in governance.
Ezeilo said aside her, the governor appointed a female Chief Judge for the first time and had already appointed five other females as members of his executive.
She advised the women to coordinate themselves well and continue to play their duties as expected even after the implementation of the 35 per cent affirmative action for women by the governor.
Earlier, the president of Inter Party Women Network, Josephine Nwokedike, under whose aegis the walk was staged, said the walk was an initiative of Women Aid Collective.
Nwokedike explained that IPWN comprised women from three different political parties of the All Progressives Congress , All Progressives Grand Alliance and the Peoples Democratic Party who came together to request the implementation of 35 per cent affirmative action for women.
She appreciated the governor for appointing women into his government unlike what had been witnessed before in the state especially approving the inclusion of at least two women to be part of local government executives.
The president however, said more opportunities should be given to women not only at the state level but also at the National Assembly and House of Representatives.
In addition, the Programme Manager of WACOL, Chukwudi Ojielo, said the initiative under the aegis of IPWN was organized by WACOL but sponsored by the National Democratic Initiative.
He said there was need to request for the 35 percent affirmative action because there had been steady decline in the number of women given active positions.
Ojielo said: "Women are beginning to be fizzled out of key government positions and if not addressed on time, we might not have women in government anymore.
The state Chairmen of APC, APGA and PDP separately promised to give females ticket during the forthcoming general elections and to also push that they be appointed into key positions if their party emerged victorious.
They also expressed joy in the togetherness of the women to fight for their rights and thanked WACOL for the initiative.

The attendance at educational, personal development and study coursesand conferences for those involved in research into and management of cancer and related medical conditions, including travel, accommodation and food expenses.
To provide Financial Assistance for the establishment, development and operation of the St George's Cancer Care - The Glasson Centre.
To provide Financial Assistance as the Trustee thinks fit to those patients and their primary support persons attending the St George's Cancer Care Centre for cancer treatment whom the Trustee appoints.
To do such other things as in the opinion of the Trustee may be incidental or conducive to the attainment or the purposes and activities of the Trust.
To provide Financial Assistance to such charitable organisations involved in the treatment of cancer patients or cancer research and that have approved donee status under sections CW34 and CW35 of the Income Tax Act 2004 (or any substitute or additional Act) and whose charitable purposes are exclusively in New Zealand. Provided that the foregoing purposes are to be conducted only in furtherance of charitable purposes as defined by law and are not to be so construed as to authorise the pursuit of any non charitable purpose.
The funds held by the Institute can only be used for the purposes outlined above. Financial assistance includes the provision of funds, purchasing and leasing equipment, loans and donations however with respect to financial assistance to the St George's Cancer Care Centre this must not create a financial benefit for St George's Cancer Care Centre.
The funds held by the Institute can only be used for a charitable purpose, as defined by law, which provides a public benefit and does not create a private financial profit. Within the context of the trust deed, the relevant charitable purposes referred to in the Charities Act are likely to be "the advancement of education" and a "matter beneficial to the community". With regard to the latter, the relief of impotent (sick) people is a purpose which benefits the community in a way that the law regards as charitable. The provision of financial assistance to St George's Cancer Care Centre and its patients will generally come within this qualifying purpose. The provision of financial assistance for research will generally come within the advancement of education qualifying purpose, subject to it passing the public benefit test.
To provide a public benefit, which can be direct or indirect, the benefit must be available to the general public or to a reasonably defined section of the public. Financial assistance to St George's Cancer Care Centre clearly qualifies as being available to the general public. Financial assistance to patients is likely to be regarded as available to the general public or a reasonably defined section of the public but this will need to be considered in the specific circumstances of the assistance being provided. For financial assistance for research to qualify as a charitable purpose, the research results will need to be available to the general public or a reasonably defined section of the public.
Financial assistance must not create a private financial profit. Consequently, as St George's Cancer Care Centre is partially privately owned, financial assistance provided to St George's Cancer Care Centre must be provided at no less than open market rates or be structured in such a way, such as the provision of financial services for which St George's Cancer Care Centre makes no charge to its patients, so that no financial benefit is conferred on the owners of St George's Cancer Care Centre. As St George's Hospital is itself a charity, financial assistance which is beneficial to St George's Hospital does not create a private financial profit and is not therefore precluded on these grounds.
Treatment support: Financial assistance for families and patients who might not otherwise be in a position to access timely and appropriate treatments from the St George's Cancer Care Centre.
Assistance with the funding of non Pharmac chemotherapy drugs: Contributions to the cost of drugs which are not fully funded by Pharmac where those drugs are considered materially beneficial in the treatment of specific cancers.
Psychosocial: "Support services" funding that contributes to a patients' care and/or their families understanding of their condition and mental and emotional needs.
Accommodation support: To alleviate stresses arising from the need for patients and their support persons having to travel to St George's Cancer Care Centre, travel and accommodation grants may be provided where patients may not otherwise be able to access the treatment due to the additional cost of that travel and accommodation.
Equipment: The accumulation of capital to enable St George's Cancer Care Centre to upgrade its equipment and to acquire new equipment when technologies and proposed services require it.
Research: Research that may be considered by the Institute will generally fall into the following three categories: clinical treatment protocols and systems, research into patients and family responses to treatments, and support services and treatment regimens.
Education: Education funded by the Institute may include education for patients and their families, continuing medical education for clinicians, radiation technologists and allied staff involved with patient treatments to ensure practice and knowledge of treatments is current and the education of the general public in cancer prevention and care.
The St George's Cancer Institute is committed to providing the most up to date equipment and technologies for the St George's Cancer Care Centre. A Stereotactic programme will ensure the Centre remains at the cutting edge in radiation treatment technology. The introduction of a stereotactic treatment programme will further enhance our radiation treatment options to provide an even more comprehensive service for patients.
There are essentially 2 forms of stereotactic treatments those within the head region Cranial (SRT or SRS) and those outside of that known as Extra cranial or Body (SBRT or SBRS). For very small lesions and those within the brain, or adjacent to critical structures greater accuracy is required, and this does mean new equipment and technology.
The introduction of some stereotactic body radiation treatments (SBRT) can be achieved with the Centre's current planning system and with our recently purchased body immobilisation system BodyFIX™.
When used in conjunction with the already highly conformal intensity modulated radiation treatment (IMRT/ VMAT) planning and 4D image guided radiation treatment (IGRT) technology this could be used to treat lesions around the spinal cord, within the lung and the liver that may not be able to be treated otherwise.
The introduction of Cranial stereotactic (SRT) will require a more structured introduction and a multi disciplinary approach with the involvement of radiologists and neurosurgeons. This will also require the purchase of the Fraxion™ head frame immobilisation and an upgrade to the linac control system and multileaf collimator.
The aim is to develop a programme in such a way that we can introduce some Body Stereotactic early 2014 and Cranial Stereotactic after the relocation of our linear accelerators into the new Cancer Care Centre bunkers in 2015.
Help us to provide the most up to date equipment and technologies.


In your opinion how did the Real estate industry fair in 2018?
The real estate sector has gone through a roller coaster ride since demonetization in November 2016 followed by RERA and GST. The new reforms, policies and regulations have impacted the the industry impacting the sector positively as well as negatively. Some of the changes are good in a way as there is a lot more transparency and accountability into the system and buyers and investors confidence is coming back. There is a short-term pain, but it would be a win-win situation for everyone in the long term. The first half of 2018 was good and housing sales started picking, but again there was a jolt with RBI raising the interest rates in the second quarter, followed by NBFC and bank crisis, which sucked the liquidity from the market and cost of capital went up for the developers.
The demand for residential projects has seen a healthy growth in the first half of 2018 and the key markets saw the absorption taking place at a fast pace. Factors like lower interest rates, budget friendly housing schemes and affordable houses coupled with price rationalization by the developers were some of the key constituents to fuel the growth of residential sector. The housing demand was mostly driven by the end users and rightly so, as they took advantage of the favorable market conditions, as well as transparent regulations due to the advent for RERA. Customer are still willing to pay premium for good brands and locations, which has good social infrastructure, proximity to work place, better security, minimal traffic and less pollution.
The commercial or office market has really taken up in the last couple of years and the credit also goes to the stable government and marquee reforms like 100 pc FDI in real estate, grant of infrastructure status and finally the Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs), getting government approval in India. The concept of co-working spaces has given a fillip to the office markets and has changed the whole dynamics of office, converting them into flexi-spaces with just plug and play concept. The start-up boom has disrupted most of the traditional businesses and going ahead; technology and Artificial Intelligence (AI) would play a major role, as India is inching towards smart cities and adopting newer technologies.
What prompted Ferns developers to introduce Gated communities in Bangalore?
Bangalore is a city which has seen more of individual homes and bungalows, but as the city started to turn into a major IT Hub, the demand and need for homes increased, due to which many developers started constructing apartments and people were forced to live in apartments, as they didn't have much choice and could not afford land within the city limits. Sensing the opportunity, the Ferns Group decided to venture into Gated Community. The concept of 'Gated Communities' opened new avenues for home buyers. The most discerning home seekers now had an option to build their own houses within their budgets and their choice, with an added advantage of safety and convenience. Ferns quickly pioneered the concept of Gated Communities and today the Group is known for its marquee gated communities, which started with the first gated community in 1988 with Ferns Avenue.
Why enter the hospitality industry?
Our expertise in developing premium gated communities over the years has enabled us to seamlessly marry real estate with hospitality. With this, we offer members the best and memorable lifestyle holiday experiences and at the same time provide an investment opportunity in a 5-star deluxe property. Also, Ferns wanted to offer their customers a product which allows flexibility to plan and program their holidays the way they want to, as against conventional holiday products where it is not possible.
What makes Rosetta different from other luxury hotels?
Rosetta by Ferns always believed in the fact of developing properties which are short distance from the metro and other key cities in South India so that clients can enjoy their holidays from a bouquet of luxury holiday destinations at 3 to 5 hour driving distances. Also, to enhance customers' lifestyle holiday experiences and a sense of belonging, the company also launched Club Rosetta Holiday Memberships. Rosetta by Ferns is the only luxury leisure holiday company to offer two holiday exchange programs.
It is a highly differentiated and flexible point-based membership program, compared to conventional timeshare holidays available in the market, and provides members immediate access to thousands of resorts and holiday homes worldwide. This membership program will be facilitated through the 'Rosetta' mobile app, which will offer real-time inventory and provide customers an opportunity to holiday at specially curated luxury destinations at fraction of the cost and unparallel experience.Rosetta comes with a choice of accommodation starting from spacious studios to one, two and four-bedroom villas with private decks and garden spaces.
We will be looking at completing the already announced projects and also the Sakleshpur property of Rosetta by Ferns will be operational in 2019. It is spread across over 100 acre and 100 rooms will be available for guests latest by in September 2019. 'Rosetta by Ferns' will also invest over USD 100 million (INR 700 crore) to build Resorts across Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Kerala and Goaover next three years.

Grate a small piece of yam.
In a pan add 1 tsp of oil and saute the yam until the moistures leaves. This is very important. Else will be watery while making urundais. Keep all ingredients ready.
Grind it in the mixie . Do not add water while grinding. Let it be slightly coarse. It should be thick.
Make into small lemon sized balls. Heat oil and when it is hot, bring it to medium and fry the urundais in batches.
Do not fry in high heat as it will not cook inside.
Enjoy this as a snack or can have with rice and rasam too.
I had with Kathrikkai puli kuzhambu.
Onion gives softness to the urundais , so do not skip it.
You can add clove to it while grinding. Just one will do, just for flavour.
If using beetroot also follow the same procedure. Do not forget to saute before grinding.
Else it will ooze out water and make the mixture watery too.
If using pudalangai/snake gourd chop them finely and add salt to this and keep it aside for 10 minutes. Let it ooze out water. and then squeeze out he excess water and saute for a while and continue the same procedure.

Renegade Row Intervals are good for the core!
Please make a note! Monday classes are cancelled on Christmas and New Years Day. Enjoy!
ALSO……. we are planning to have a CFCA night out after the New Year to celebrate our 7 Year Gym Anniversary and our amazing community. Usually we do this before the holiday BUT….things are a bit hectic on the homefront with the new baby…..Sooooo we are going to push it back into the social deadzone of late January. Details to come soon.
Hybrid of Sundays workout (which only 1 person showed up for! ) Don't fear the bag! Go heavier and pace this one out as a strength grind. Alternate reps as desired.
Work up to 5RM Hang Squat or Hang Power Clean. Rest as needed to keep movements crisp and clean. If you reach a weight that is challenging but doable for 5 consecutive reps, then stay there for the duration of the 25 mins.
MOD Rope Climb Height or Method as needed to keep moving. Ask a coach!
Goal= 50 Clean RGMM Reps If you hit 50 Bump up to the next size DB and continue.
Focus on Quality movement that is challenging for you.
Community Team WOD – bring a friend, bring a stranger. $5 for all non members which is donated locally. Help us grow the best most supportive community on Cape Ann!
Reps Do NOT have to be completed unbroken.
Outside the Gym: Go Do something active for 30-60+ mins at at moderate pace preferably with friends or family. (hike, jog, paddle, row, bike etc.) What you do matters less than just doing the duration at a conversational pace. A few of these easy sessions per week can really enhance your cardiovascular base which will help with both high intensity performance & recovery.
Mental Restoration: Carve a little time today (but really everyday) to slow down and prep for next week. Plan Meals, stretch out, meditate? Set yourself up for success cause those that fail to plan are planning to fail.
Having a super sore day or just don't feel like doing the actual WOD. Come in and do this!
Seek out tender areas and spend time working the soreness out.

Federalism is still a hot issue, but Biden didn't discuss it with anyone !
Iraqi media paid a lot of attention to this part of reported remarks in a Reuters interview by Ammar AlHakim, son and heir-apparent of the head of the SupremeCouncil:
The decision to contest the elections separately from Dawa stemmed from disagreement over regional autonomy, Hakim said.
"There are many readings and opinions on the role of the provincial councils. ISCI has an understanding ... that these councils should have greater powers and budgets for development and reconstruction."
because it was apparently the first time that leadership of either party had spelled out the relationship between that rift and the federalism/autonomy issue.
At the same time, there was a report that the campaign for signatures in support of the one-governate federal-region proposal (not sect-based; seen as partly an attempt to forestall the wider, multi-governate, sect-based SupremeCouncil proposal) are unlikely to reach the required number with less than a week to go before the deadline. And the AlHayat person who reported that added: The Fadhila party (cousin of the Sadrist trend) that had been seen as in support of the one-governate proposal, is now expressing reservations about it.
The Islamic Fadhila party was added to the parties that have expressed reservations about the concept of forming a federal district at the present time. Hasan AlShammari, head of the Fadhila parliamentary bloc, said that the time has not yet come to study the federalism issue. He said the reason his party is taking this position is "the domestic-political and regional repercussions that Iraq is witnessing at the present time."
In the north, Kurdistan region president Barzani fired up the war of words with Maliki in an interview with the LA Times, in which he threatened, according to Iraq-media reports, that the Kurdistan regional government could consider separation from Iraq if Maliki doesn't desist from his campaign to modify the Iraqi constitution in avor of central-government powers. A spokesman for the Sadr trend said this was merely a media ploy to increase pressure on Maliki in the negotiations over the various current Baghdad/Irbil disputes. And an unnamed spokesman for Maliki said the latter's position hasn't changed, and it is that you shouldn't try for stronger regional-government powers at a time when the central-government power is weak, because everything including the regional governments depends on the central government.
Meanwhile, US VP-elect Joseph Biden met with president Talabani and vice-president Adel AbdulMahdi, and also with deputy premier Barham Saleh on Monday, and then with Prime Minister Maliki today (Tuesday), before heading to Kirkuk to meet with local officials there. Needless to say, there are no meaningful reports about what was said in any of these meetings, except that naturally there was no discussion of federalism (the tripartite version of which is known as "the Biden Plan") but rather the topic was implementation of the new bilateral agreement.
So far, unless I have missed something, there are no reports of any Biden meetings with anyone from the July 22 movement, which is the coalition that opposes the semi- or crypto-separatism of the parties whose representatives he did meet with (the two big Kurdish parties and the SupremeCouncil). This at a time when as the various above-noted reports indicate, federalism is in fact still a major issue.

We are a working committee of volunteers and all members are expected to take a full part in the year-round activities.
The members of the National Committee in England, Wales and Northern Ireland meet in January, March, May and September for their ordinary committee meetings.
In November, they attend a four day residential meeting. During this time, materials received from the country preparing the service in 15 months time, are discussed and edited.
After the four days most of the material is still at draft stage. Over the following weeks the material is worked upon resulting in the order of service, background, bible study and the childrens' leaflet, together with a teachers' guide, which are then printed ready for the Link Day, which is held in London in July. At the Link Day, preparation day organisers from all over the UK are informed about the country that has prepared the service for the following March, given a taste of the service and led in a study of the scripture passages.
Preparation days are organised in order to inform local WDP groups about the country that has prepared the service and the materials available. Materials are available to purchase. Some materials are free of charge.
These days take place from September until early February. Most of the meetings are held in October and November. Members of the national committee attend most of these meetings.
The National Committee of the WDP also has links round the world, with other committees of the WDP. Frequently we are asked to pray for the situations in various countries.
All members of the committee work on a voluntary basis and only claim expenses.

Politician's speech on rugby returning has sent the internet into meltdown
Irish Senator Vincent Martin made an impassioned speech earlier this week about the importance of rugby returning in Ireland.
In a powerful two minute speech, the politician went into detail about why one particular game should go ahead before it is too late.
This video has had a mixed response online.
Senator Martin is giving a speech when he turns the topic onto the Leinster Schools Cup Rugby Final of 2020.
He says that after 6 years of building up to this final two teams were coming together to play in an unprecedented showdown between Clongowes Wood and Newbridge College.
He then goes on to make an impassioned plea for the game to go ahead in the next month which, as he describes, is a window of opportunity for the game to be played before the players all go their separate ways out into the world.
Vincent Martin said that in the context of the Leinster provincial team and academies entering full training – this match should be considered to go ahead.
watch the divisive speech below
See Seanad speech re: unplayed Leinster Cup Sen. Schs. final '20. I have written to @IrishRugby requesting a review to see if this match could still take place in a safe environ.@NewCol_Official @clongowes @NaasRFC @NewbridgeRugby @ClaneRFC @NaasBall @kfmradio #naas #newbridge pic.twitter.com/PVzPFZN9dK
— Senator Vincent P Martin (@VincentPMartin1) July 31, 2020
The video has gained thousands of views but there have been some who have been quick to criticise the senator's comments.
Many felt that in this pandemic – this wasn't the sort of thing that should be discussed in Parliament.
Many clearly felt that a politician using his platform to promote a rugby game going ahead was wrong at this time.
Others supported what the Senator was proposing in his speech.
As it stands in Ireland, sport has returned with some training returning to normal but it will be some time before games at grassroots level are able to take place.

Bob Mackie have designed many dolls for Mattel over the years. His signature series gave us a new sculpt with the fourth doll: Neptune, an Ocean Goddess. Sort of. Soon followed by Sun Goddess and Moon Goddess among others. Far from the old smiley SuperStar face Barbie have had since the mid seventies, the new face had a closed mouth, Mona Lisa-kind of smile. The closed mouth mold goes by the name Mackie among collectors. During a period between SuperStar and Generation Girl, a lot of the playline dolls was made with this sculpt and these dolls are coveted by collectors, being well made and affordable.
A couple of friends of Barbie was made with this sculpt as well, one probably a mistake, since she is more common with "her own" (well, close to) face. That would be Midge and the other one is Teresa.
Barbie Basics Model No 01 is made with the Mackie sculpt and in this series is my favorite Mackie doll ever. The Collection 002 Jeans. There were three Basics made, in Collection 001, 001,5 and 002. First; platinum blonde, second; dark brunette, third; golden blonde.
Successors to the Basics are The Look Barbie and there has to date (Jan '14) been made two Mackie dolls.
There are a very few black Barbie dolls made with the Mackie sculpt and Rapuzel is one of them. Barbie as Rapunzel - and she has the longest hair e-v-e-r. Even longer than the Jewel Hair Mermaid dolls. In a long braid, it hangs over her shoulder in the box. In a light chocolate skin tone and brown eyes, she is delightful.
There aren't many AA Mackie dolls made. Rapunzel, Pottery Barn and a Mariposa, as far as I know.
Barbie and her friends went to the Florida beaches for a vacation - in their animal print swimsuits. Midge joined them at the beach this year and I have a not-so-common version of her with the Mackie sculpt. I remember seeing eBay auctions selling Midge - with MY photo and I kept asking, "is it really the Mackie faced girl?". Noone knew the difference. They just picked a photo - and managed to take the wrong one. There is actually a big difference between the two girls, not only the obvious difference in the mold itself, but the Mackie faced Midge have brighter green eyes and a gazillion more painted eyelashes. I tend to think this might be a European thing, because I have ever only seen her in Europe. I own three of these dolls and the other two, bought in the US - one as Diva, the other supposedly a Mackie (was not) are both Divas.
Mariposa is a character in an animated Barbie movie. She lives in Flutterfield... A mariposa is a moth or a butterfly with huge wings and this doll has exactly that. Huge wings attached to her back. She has a special body (not only due to the attached wings) but overall a new body type. She is smaller than "regular" Barbie dolls. Which is not interesting right here, right now as we are concentrating on the sculpt. Mackie's sculpt. Glitter and glitz. Lots of glitter as on all the fairy(topia) dolls. She comes in a black version too, I have seen.
The X-Files was Barbie and Ken as the Alien investigators Agent Scully and Agent Mulder. Scully has rooted red hair in a short hairdo - and the Mackie closed mouth face.
Twilight Bella was, much to many collectors' dismay, made with the Mackie sculpt. So many other faces that would have worked better - at least if she should look anything like the actress in the movies, Kristen Stewart. However, for some reason Mattel decided to use the Mackie face for all the Bella versions.
Sleeping Beauty has a very special version of the Mackie sculpt. I would go so far, to say it is a revised Mackie sculpt. She is made of hard plastic with the function of sleepy eyes. With a button on her back, you should be able to close and open her eyes. My doll is not working properly as she can't close them more than into the second picture show.

Le Louisiana State Police (en français, « police d'état de Louisiane ») est le département de police de la Louisiane qui agit partout dans cet État. Son siège social est situé à Baton Rouge. Il a été créé pour protéger les vies, les biens et les droits constitutionnels des habitants de la Louisiane et est officiellement connu comme le Bureau de la police d'État.

Histoire

L'organisation a commencé en 1922 comme la Commission Louisiana Highway avec 16 inspecteurs autoroute couvrant environ  () de route. En 1928, l'agence a été connu comme la Division de l'application des lois de la Commission Route, et employait 70 agents en uniforme. Le Bureau des enquêtes criminelles a également été formé à cette époque.

En 1932, la patrouille routière de l'État a donné le pouvoir de porter des armes. En 1936, les deux divisions d'application de la loi ont été combinés pour former le ministère de la Louisiane de la police d'État. En 1942, la législature en Louisiane a aboli le ministère de la police de l'État et en a fait une division du ministère nouvellement créé de la Sécurité publique. La police d'État a accepté de nouvelles responsabilités en 1946. L'Agence a continué de faire des progrès.

Organisation

Le département est divisé en neuf « troupes », avec son siège à Baton Rouge. Les troupes sont divisées comme suit :

 Troop A (Baton Rouge) : couvre les paroisses : l'Ascension, Baton Rouge de l'Est, Feliciane de l'Est, Iberville, Livingston, Saint-James (rive est), Pointe Coupée, Ouest de Bâton-Rouge, Feliciane d'Ouest ;
 Troop B (Kenner) : couvre les paroisses : Orléans, Saint-Charles, Saint-Jean (rive est), Plaquemines, Saint-Bernard, Jefferson ;
 Troop C (Houma) : couvre les paroisses : de l'Assomption, Lafourche, Terrebonne et la rive ouest de Saint-Jacques et Saint-Jean ;
 Troupe D (Lake Charles) : couvre les paroisses de Allen, Beauregard, Calcasieu, Cameron et Jefferson Davis ;
 Troop E (Alexandrie) : couvre les paroisses des Avoyelles, Catahoula, Concordia, Subvention, LaSalle, Natchitoches, Rapides, Sabine, Vernon et Winn ;
 Troupe F (Monroe) : Couvre les paroisses de l'Union, de l'Ouest Carroll, Carroll de l'Est, Morehouse, Lincoln, Ouachita, Richland, Madison, Jackson, Caldwell, Tensas, et Franklin ;
 Troop G (Bossier City) : Couvre les paroisses de Caddo, Bossier, De Soto, Webster, Claiborne, Bienville et la rivière Rouge ;
 Troop I (Lafayette) : Couvre paroisses d'Évangéline, Saint-Landry, de l'Acadie, Lafayette, Saint-Martin, Vermilion, Iberia, et St. Mary ;
 Troop L (Covington) : couvre les paroisses de Sainte-Hélène, Saint-Tammany, Tangipahoa et Washington.

Armes

L'arme à feu standard pour les troopers du LSP est le  Glock 22 .40, les autres armes de poing sont en option mais également autorisés pour effectuer les heures de service. Chaque trooper du LSP est également doté d'un fusil Remington 870 Police de calibre 12. Certaines voitures de police sont également équipés d'un Colt AR-15 A2 0.223, d'un Ruger Mini-14, ou un H & K MP-5 . Les troopers de cette agence fédérale ont été dotés de matraques et de gaz poivré pour un certain temps. Des pistolets paralysants ont également été récemment publié.

Véhicules du LSP

Le véhicule de patrouille principal utilisé est la Ford Crown Victoria « Police Interceptor ». Ce véhicule a été le véhicule de patrouille principal utilisé par l'agence depuis 1997, il a remplacé la Chevrolet Caprice. Autres véhicules de patrouille actuellement utilisés : motos Harley-Davidson, la Chevrolet Impala, la Chevrolet Camaro, Chevrolet Tahoe et le Dodge Durango. Plusieurs autres véhicules banalisés de différentes marques et différents modèles sont également utilisés pour diverses opérations hors patrouilles.

Reviewing a new biography of Augustine Sameer Rahim writes "Lane Fox is informative and learned, but his book is, I must confess, a bit of a slog." Nevertheless Rahim on Augustine:
.... We know more about him than any other figure from the ancient world, and his personality and intelligence shine more brightly than his contemporaries.
Confessions is not strictly speaking an autobiography; it is a prayer addressed to God. But, as Augustine says, God knows it all already and so he can speak freely about his own sins – most notoriously, his sex life. ....
To Augustine, premarital sex was a false vision: "I was not yet in love but I was 'in love with love'." As he came to reject sex, so he rejected Manichaeism. Their religion's founder, the prophet Mani, claimed the world was divided into equally powerful forces for evil and for good, darkness and light.
Augustine knew, though, that he did not have a divided soul; instead it sometimes inclined to right and sometimes to wrong. Evil was part of human nature – which is why he came to popularise the doctrine of "original sin".
Augustine learnt this from reading the Bible, but also from personal experience. As a teenager, he and a gang of friends stole pears from an orchard (echoes of Genesis again). Augustine had been led astray by something that initially seemed worthwhile: friendship.
Later, in Carthage, he joined a student club called "the Overturners" – the Bullingdon Club of its era – whose members went around harassing other students. He joined because he was lonely. He slept around for the same reason.
He came to realise that far from being cleanly divided into light and dark, our vices are often misdirected virtues. The combination of brilliant dramatic set pieces and close emotional self-scrutiny makes Augustine's Confessions read like the work of a great novelist or poet. .... [more]

POLICE were called to attend a dog being left in a car on sunny day in Troon on Wednesday, April 10.
Locals reported that the dog was left unattended for up to three hours near Troon beach.
A police spokesperson said: "At about 3.24pm police were actioned to attend Titchfield Road in Troon in relation to a dog which had been left within a motor vehicle for approximately three hours. On attendance the motor vehicle was found to have left prior to police arrival."
Local police have since reminded people in the area not to leave their dog in the car if they are visiting the seaside resort. South Ayrshire Police told everyone to enjoy the beautiful weather but be mindful of cruelty to their pets when it is warmer.
