Exmouth developed as a resort in Georgian times and was once probably the most select seaside resort in Britain, being home to such famous people as Lady Nelson and Lady Byron. Nowadays it offers a rich mixture of immaculate sands, lovely gardens, a busy marina and a wide range of sports facilities that combine to make it an excellent resort for all ages and interests. To the south the resort overlooks Lyme Bay, while to the west it looks across the estuary of the River Exe to the Haldon Hills and Dawlish Warren. There are boat trips aplenty but also lots to do on dry land with good shops, a museum, many old pubs and good walks at every turn. For the more active there is a swimming pool, golf, and all forms of water sports including a sailing school.

I'm running down Kelly Drive in Philadelphia on an unseasonably warm fall day, my sneakers softly thudding against the ground. As I run, I notice a young boy skateboarding on the street, and the way his red hat flops to the side. I pass dry-looking trees and plump geese gathered in the grass next to the trail, and a couple kissing on a rock overlook. I notice the way the water ripples as a racing shell cuts cleanly through the center of the Schuylkill River and glides away from me.
Would you guess that I've been meditating this whole time?
Meditation is a practice of focusing attention in order to clear the mind and reduce anxiety. Learning to focus can help you tune out distractions.
Runners often talk about running as a way to work through problems, escape negative thinking, or overcome personal demons. And it's backed by science: a study in Medicine and Science in Sports and Exercise indicated that even 30 minutes of time on a treadmill could instantly lift someone's mood.
Running is rarely ever just running. Or perhaps conversely it is just running, and that simplicity is why it helps diffuse all of those stressors. That is what links running to meditation, especially in terms of mental benefits.
It turns out that running combined with meditation can potentially make both your running, and your mind, stronger. A 2016 study published in Translational Psychiatry found that combining directed meditation with running or walking reduced symptoms of depression by 40 percent for depressed participants, and more research is ongoing.
The key to all of this is that a meditation and mindfulness practice helps build your ability to focus, and running inherently narrows that focus: to the path ahead, to how many miles are left, to whether you need water, to the chill of the wind over a river.
"Before you start running, inhale deeply. Hold your breath for a few moments, and exhale. Do this for five minutes or so, and you will experience a deep relaxation before your run," says Bhardwaj. If you find the waiting too difficult, try to start with one minute of stillness—or as much as you can stand—and work up.
"It could be a question that has been haunting you for days, or a stressful thought or challenge that has been on your mind," explains Bhardwaj. "Whatever it is, set an intention that this running will resolve your question." You don't have to know what the resolution might be—just put faith out there that this run will help it.
Think about your arms, your forehead, your eyeballs—and forget about your legs. "When you are running, feel the breeze embracing your every body part. Don't just focus on legs. Use your every sense and every muscle to interact with Mother Nature. Such consistent interaction will develop a stronger connection with nature and thus adds onto your healing, and running, ability," says Bhardwaj.
To further cultivate gratitude, Attar recommends focusing on the beauty of your surroundings. Once feeling grateful becomes a habit you assume a positive attitude in how you go about everything, especially running. "When you are grateful for even just the opportunity and ability to be running, it opens up the space within you to become more connected to everything," Attar says.


As divisive issues go, the cat versus dog debate is up there with Brexit, fracking and the best Beatles album. Everyone seems to have an opinion and many will go to extreme lengths (such as shoehorning the topic into the welcome address of a magazine off the back of an article about caring for cats – see page 34) to defend that opinion or to sway those slightly less entrenched in one camp to join them in their camp. I have no desire to quibble with anyone's Leave or Remain vote, to argue for or against the extraction of gas and oil from shale rock or to debate the Fab Four's back catalogue. But when it comes to cats and dogs, I have to speak my mind. ...read more.

It's sunny but chilly this Sunday morning in Portland, Maine. That's typical for May. It's Eastpoint Christian Church's final week in this facility, their fourth location in 13 years, but such is the case for many church plants, especially in the Northeast.
Each location has had its challenges, but this one has been especially interesting. It's a former DHL Express warehouse on the grounds of Portland International Jetport; worship and sermons are regularly interrupted by the roar of jets taking off and landing. Churchgoers have overlooked the noise and been thankful for the building, cramming nearly 1,500 people into 15,000 square feet of space that took two years to find. It's a special, almost surreal day because of the anticipation and excitement of moving into a new permanent home in just a few days.
The Eastpoint story is great for many reasons, but to really get a feel for it, you must go back more than 13 years and get to know Eastpoint pastor and planter Scott Taube and his wife, Beth. Scott had been serving the Lord in ministry for many years when Dan Clymer invited him to take a trip with Restoration House Ministries to look at opportunities in the Northeast, particularly Portland.
Nothing about Portland drew them there: no history, family, or close friends. On the contrary, starting a church in Portland would require leaving family and friends. The Taubes were foster parenting and rearing their own children through critical times. They were doing fine in their ministry at Fairfield Christian Church in Lancaster, Ohio.
Portland needed a thriving church. In a city of more than 250,000 people and a state of 1.3 million people, not a single Restoration Movement church met there. But the trip didn't stir any passion in Scott at the time, and so he and his wife went home satisfied they had done their part to pray and investigate the need.
After returning to Ohio, Scott was mowing his lawn when he felt God urging him to stop what he was doing to meet with him. Scott shut off the mower and went inside his house to pray. During that prayer, with Portland still fresh in his mind, came the thought, Scott, what are you going to do with the second half of your life? He also thought of all the obstacles to such a move: leaving family and friends, a comfortable and fulfilling ministry, and the foster kids; the inherent difficulties with planting; and convincing a wife whom he was pretty sure wouldn't be thrilled with the idea. Feeling almost overwhelmed, Scott recalled God reassuring him, "Just watch!" With that, God removed the pressure to convince Beth. If it was going to happen, God would do it.
While praying in her car during a moment of personal crisis, Beth asked God for the improbable: "God, if you really want us to go, play 'Word of God Speak' when I turn the radio on." You can guess what happened. God's expectations became very clear. We all might wish we had that type of calling, but how many of us would be willing to make the sacrifices that come with it? In any case, it was time to follow where God was leading.
Planting a church always involves fund-raising, and Traders Point Christian Church, Indianapolis, Indiana, caught the vision of the first independent Christian church in Maine and provided the funding the Taubes needed to move and live there. Southeast Christian Church in Louisville, Kentucky, and Fairfield Christian joined in.
To prepare for the plant, the Taubes spent time with Brett Andrews of New Life Christian Church, Chantilly, Virginia, and began working through a 300-point checklist for planting a church. Three couples moved to Maine nine months before the anticipated launch to get a better understanding of the area. They visited churches and realized they would be helping to bring something entirely new to the area. God confirmed his call by providing for housing needs, connecting them with people (their Realtor knew Scott's family), and by clearing a path for people to trust them early on.
A local person had an empty cinema that he was willing to rent to the church for $500 a month. "It felt like God was going to push every obstacle down!" Taube said as he viewed the task before them. The little church was off to a great start!
One month into their new rental agreement, the fledgling church received an unexpected $7,000 utility bill that nearly wiped out their operating funds. On top of that, after huge investments in cleaning and upgrading the theater, a severe mold problem was discovered that forced them to move out.
Their next stop was at a Marriott hotel, where they set up and tore down each week, and the little church family continued to grow. After outgrowing the Marriott space in just two years, there was another search, and the church moved into a former carpet barn. "As our church grew, it was growing increasingly obvious just how difficult it was going to be to rent or buy space in an area that would keep the church attractive." It took another two years to find the DHL Express property at the airport, but that warehouse space—though it had no air conditioning—cost more than $200,000 annually. The church's efforts to find a permanent home met with rejection after rejection because of zoning restrictions.
After so many disappointments involving property, buildings, or space, an incredible opportunity materialized. Eastpoint's dream location was to be near the Portland Mall, since all traffic converged in that area of town and it would provide maximum exposure. The opportunity came when Bob's Discount Furniture, a 92,000-square-foot, big-box store right next to Home Depot, came up for sale. The $7 million price tag was formidable, and it seemed impossible for a church to make that level of investment. That's when Doug Crozier and The Solomon Foundation stepped up by backing Eastpoint's offer.
Taube and his team had been investigating churches across the country to gain a better idea of how to best use this building to reach the heart of the community. They settled on a model they saw at 2|42 Community Church in Brighton, Michigan. After spending time with the 2|42 staff and learning about their approach, 2|42 lead pastor Dave Dummitt went to Portland to investigate how this new space could fulfill a similar mission.
A more traditional church might find 2|42's approach unorthodox or even reckless, but it is calculated to create community partnership through stewarding the building all through the week. It's a desire to give the building back to the community and minister through the connections created there. Eastpoint decided on such amenities as an indoor soccer field and other sports facilities, a 100-seat cafe, and areas that focus on kids with special needs and under-resourced families. In making these choices, Eastpoint decided to value connections and conversations more than fear or conventional thinking.
A Community Center with a Church?
When Dummitt was asked, "Are you a church with a community center or a community center that houses a church?" he answered, "We are a community center that houses a church." Scott's answer to the same question was similar but more nuanced. "It took a long time before I believed what I was saying because the statement is totally counterintuitive for a church planter." He finally grasped the concept when he considered the community Eastpoint serves. Taube describes his community as a place where most people live behind trees on two-acre lots and desperately need connections. A community center stirs up a realization of that need and creates church people who desire to serve the community. Local churches were less than excited about Eastpoint's approach, but the unchurched community embraced it. Portlanders had trouble believing a church would give a gift like this to the community.
It's been 13 years since three couples moved to Portland, Maine, to plant a Restoration Movement church in a state where none existed. On the first weekend in its newest location, Eastpoint's attendance nearly doubled. One of the most liberal-minded cities in America has returned the church's embrace without any compromise of the gospel. A huge chair hanging on the wall reminds everyone who walks through the door about the necessity of spending time with God. Street pastors go out every weekend to help drunken people leaving bars to get home safely. Each Christmas and Easter, the entire offering is directed to community agencies. A halfway house gives new hope to those released from prison. The new building is alive and active every day with many community and ministry functions filling its space. And Eastpoint, 13 years after its birth, is the largest church of any kind in the state of Maine and is using its resources to fulfill the greatest commandment!
The Restoration Movement has had churches in the state of Maine for decades. James Gardner's "The Christians of New England" reports on evangelistic efforts throughout the state in the nineteenth century. See http://www.therestorationmovement.com/books/newengland.htm#p. Much, but not all of that work had disappeared by the early twentieth century, but the current Church of Christ in Unity, ME, traces its origins to a church in Damariscotta, ME. In the 1940s "Bishop" Adolf Dalbeck, whose historical connections were with the Smith-Jones Christian Connection, was riding a circuit in northern Maine, ministering to small groups in Lambert Lake, Danforth, and other towns in Washington and Aroostook Counties. After World War II, a number of evangelists revived small groups that were meeting, and established congregations in Augusta, Bangor, Brunswick, Caribou, Danforth, Houlton, Kittery, Lambert Lake, Milbridge, Presque Isle, and Unity. In the last thirty years Churches of Christ have emerged in Biddeford, Brooks, Dexter, Farmington Falls, New Sharon, Pittsfield, South Paris, Sharon, Sullivan, and Waterville. Churches of Christ in northern New England have supported a permanent summer camp, "Ganderbrook Christian Camp," that operated first in Jackman Station, then moved to North Raymond, ME.
May God bless the work that "The Point" is doing in Portland. I hope that the evangelistic team there and the leaders of these other churches can get to know each other.

A dynamic model of quadriceps and hamstrings function
Frigo, C. and Pavan, E. E. and Brunner, R.. (2010) A dynamic model of quadriceps and hamstrings function. Gait & posture, Vol. 31, H. 1. pp. 100-103.
The mechanical effect of hamstrings and quadriceps contractions on hip and knee joint motion was investigated using a dynamic model of the musculoskeletal system. The model consisted of 13 anatomically linked segments. The geometry of bones, joints, and muscle attachments was derived from magnetic resonance imaging of a healthy adult. The knee joint was represented by a crossing bars linkage to simulate cruciate ligament function, and muscles were represented by spring actuators. The effects of hamstring and quadriceps contractions, in various combinations, were tested on different configurations of hip and knee joint position in the absence of gravity. In the standing posture, with the foot free to move and the pelvis fixed in space, the effect of semimembranosus (SM) contraction was hip and knee flexion. If the foot was fixed to the ground, SM contraction produced hip extension and knee flexion. The addition of quadriceps contraction reduced or abolished the knee flexion and enhanced hip extension. In all other simulations, SM alone produced knee flexion and hip extension and the combination of SM with vastus (VA) and rectus femoris (RF) contractions resulted in knee extension and enhanced hip extension. Our findings suggest that co-contraction of quadriceps and hamstrings may be a strategy to increase the hip extension function of the hamstrings. Copyright © 2009 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
