The Daft Club operates a zero tolerance policy on illegal file sharing. As a site specifically set up to promote an artist and celebrate their work it seems a bit ungrateful to us when people don't show artists the respect of paying for their work.
We will remove any links to illegal downloads (be it music, software or otherwise) and take action against the poster, as per our terms and conditions.
There are plenty of legal alternatives to downloading an album through a file sharing website, such as listening to it on Spotify or Last.fm. Links through to official outlets and channels are fine, for example linking to Amazon or embedding a YouTube video that was uploaded on an artists official channel.
The only area of leniency we will extend is where material is not commercially available, and therefore the artist is not losing out on revenue. An example might be linking to a YouTube video of a live set, that is not available on DVD or as a live album.
Many users post links to youtube videos of songs or soundcloud pages, for illustrative purposes. If the destination page contains a link to download the material we will not allow it. If the page does not facilitate the illegal downloading of the material then the link may remain.
If you are unsure please contact us before posting and we'll be happy to clarify.

Q: Inverted Index: Find a phrase in a set of documents I'm implementing an inverted index structure, in particular one that allows boolean queries, and word-level granularity.
I have large database of text, and I keep an index that tells me, for every word, in which file it is (IDdoc), and where in the file it is (position). (A word can be in many files and in many places in one file.)
Thus I keep a vector for each word:
vector<pair<IDdoc,position>> occurences_of_word;

(The vector is sorted by IDdoc and then by position, in ascending order.)
I have a string object made of words. This is the phrase I'm looking for.
For each word in the phrase I would like to know which documents contain this phrase, hence returning a vector of IDdocs.
Here is my attempt at a solution:
typedef std::string     Word_t;
typedef unsigned int    WordPosition_t;
typedef unsigned int    IDdocument_t;

vector<pair<IDdocument_t,WordPosition_t> > IndiceInvertidoBooleanoConPosicion::_interseccion_dos_listas
    (const vector<pair<IDdocument_t,WordPosition_t>> & v1,
    const vector<pair<IDdocument_t,WordPosition_t>> & v2)
{
vector<pair<IDdocument_t,WordPosition_t> > intersection;

IDdocument_t ID_doc_one, ID_doc_two;

int i = 0;
int j = 0;
const int MAX_INDEX_V1 = v1.size() -1;
const int MAX_INDEX_V2 = v2.size() -1;

while(i <= MAX_INDEX_V1  && j <= MAX_INDEX_V2)
{
    ID_doc_one = v1[i].first;
    ID_doc_two = v2[j].first;
    if (ID_doc_one < ID_doc_two)
        i++;
    else if (ID_doc_one > ID_doc_two)
        j++;
    else // The words were found in the same document!
    {
        WordPosition_t pos_word_one = v1[i].second;
        WordPosition_t pos_word_two = v2[j].second;

        // The words make a phrase!  Return pos_two for the next intersection finding step
        if (pos_word_one + 1 == pos_word_two)
        {
            intersection.push_back(make_pair(ID_doc_one,pos_word_two));
            i++;
            j++;
        }

        // Phrase not found
        else
        {
            if (pos_word_one < pos_word_two)
                i++;
            else
                j++;
        }

    }
}

return intersection;
}

int find_phrase(const string phrase, vector<IDdocument_t> & id_docs)
{
Word_t word;
id_docs.clear();
Text parsed_phrase;
// Extract the relevant words from the phrase
parsed_phrase.parse(phrase);

vector<pair<IDdocument_t,WordPosition_t> > intersection;
vector<pair<IDdocument_t,WordPosition_t> > second_vector;

while (parsed_phrase.get_next_word(word) != RES_END)
{
    _find_vector_words(word,intersection);

    while (parsed_phrase.get_next_word(word) != RES_END)
    {
        _find_vector_words(word,second_vector);

        intersection = _intersect_two_words(intersection,second_vector);

    }
}

for (unsigned int i = 0; i < intersection.size(); i ++)
{
    IDdocument_t id_doc = intersection[i].first;
    if(std::find(id_docs.begin(), id_docs.end(), id_doc) == id_docs.end())
        id_docs.push_back(id_doc);
}

return RES_OK;
}

A: For looking up a particular Word from the string representation, you probably want to look at something like map. For creating a simple union of results you probably want set. This implementation is written more as a demonstration than as a highly desirable final implementation (c.f. sloppy phrase parsing).
#include <vector>
#include <map>
#include <set>
#include <iostream>
#include <string>

typedef std::string IDdoc;
typedef int position;

typedef std::pair<IDdoc,position> Occurrence;
typedef std::vector<Occurrence> OccurrencesOfWord;
typedef std::map<std::string /*word*/, OccurrencesOfWord> Dictionary;
typedef std::set<IDdoc> Matches;

bool findMatchesForPhrase(const std::string& phrase, const Dictionary& dictionary, Matches& matches)
{
    size_t pos = 0;
    size_t len = 0;
    while (pos < phrase.length()) {
        size_t end = phrase.find(' ', pos);
        size_t len = ((end == phrase.npos) ? phrase.length() : end) - pos;
        std::string word(phrase, pos, len);
        pos += len + 1; // to skip the space.

        // ignore words not in the dictionary.
        auto dictIt = dictionary.find(word);
        if (dictIt == dictionary.end())
            continue;

        auto& occurrences = dictIt->second; // shortcut/alias,.
        for (auto& occurIt : occurrences) {
            // Add all the IDdoc's of this occurence to the set.
            matches.insert(occurIt.first);
        }
    }

    return !matches.empty();
}

void addToDictionary(Dictionary& dict, const char* word, const char* doc, int position)
{
    dict[word].push_back(std::make_pair(std::string(doc), position));
}

int main(int argc, const char** argv)
{
    std::string phrase("pizza is life");
    Dictionary dict;

    addToDictionary(dict, "pizza", "book1", 10);
    addToDictionary(dict, "pizza", "book2", 30);
    addToDictionary(dict, "life", "book1", 1);
    addToDictionary(dict, "life", "book3", 1);
    addToDictionary(dict, "goat", "book4", 99);

    Matches matches;
    bool result = findMatchesForPhrase(phrase, dict, matches);

    std::cout << "result = " << result << std::endl;
    for (auto& ent : matches) {
        std::cout << ent << std::endl;
    }

    return 0;
}

Follow up to address your changes:
while(i < SIZE_VECTOR_ONE  && j < SIZE_VECTOR_TWO)
{
    if (ID_doc_one < ID_doc_two)
    {
        ID_doc_one = v1[++i].first;

Lets say "SIZE_VECTOR 1" is 1. That means that there is one element in the vector, element[0]. If ID_doc_one is 0 and ID_doc_two is 1, then
if (0 < 1) {
    ID_doc_one = v1[1].first;

which is invalid. You might be better off using iterators or pointers:
while (oneIt != v1.end() && twoIt != v2.end()) {
    if (oneIt->first < twoIt->first) {
        ++oneIt;
        continue;
    } else if (*twoIt < *oneIt) {
        ++twoIt;
        continue;
    }
    // same documentId in both lists, snag positions.
    ...
}

Next, this looks kinda broken:
    else {
    }   // To avoid "out of range" errors <-- but also ends the "else"
        if (i < SIZE_VECTOR_ONE - 1)
            ID_doc_one = v1[++i].first;
        if (j < SIZE_VECTOR_TWO - 1)
            ID_doc_two = v2[++j].first;
    }

And I wonder what happens if you have the same document but multiple positions?
This next is nit-picky, but it took me a long time to parse
    WordPosition_t pos_one = v1[i].second;
    WordPosition_t pos_two = v2[j].second;

    // The words make a phrase!  Return pos_two for the next intersection finding step
    if (pos_one + 1 == pos_two)

it seems vastly clearer to write this as you might say it "(if the second word is in the position after the first word):
    WordPosition_t posFirstWord = v1[i].second;
    WordPosition_t posSecondWord = v2[j].second;

    // The words make a phrase!  Return pos_two for the next intersection finding step
    if (posSecondWord == posFirstWord + 1)

This next part was kind of confusing, since both clauses appeared to be intended to increment i and j and update ID_doc_one and two, it would have made sense to hoist that part into a common section after the if block, but again the else {} made it hard to tell what you were actually doing.
    if (pos_one + 1 == pos_two)
    {
        intersection.push_back(make_pair(ID_doc_one,pos_two));
        ID_doc_one = v1[++i].first;
        ID_doc_two = v2[++j].first;
    }

    else {
    }   // To avoid "out of range" errors
        if (i < SIZE_VECTOR_ONE - 1)
            ID_doc_one = v1[++i].first;
        if (j < SIZE_VECTOR_TWO - 1)
            ID_doc_two = v2[++j].first;
    }

When you match both arrays, you always want to increment both i and j, it's not condition, I'm also not sure why you are using pos_two, since the phrase was actually found at pos_one?
This is how I would have written it:
#include<iostream>
#include<map>
#include<vector>
#include<string>

typedef std::string         Word_t;
typedef unsigned int        WordPosition_t;
typedef unsigned int        IDdocument_t;

typedef std::pair<IDdocument_t, WordPosition_t> DocumentPosition_t;
typedef std::vector<DocumentPosition_t> WordReferences_t;

WordReferences_t _intersect_two_words(const WordReferences_t& v1, const WordReferences_t& v2)
{
    // all the locations where the words occur one after the other.
    WordReferences_t intersection;

    auto firstIt = v1.begin();
    auto secondIt = v2.begin();
    while (firstIt != v1.end() && secondIt != v2.end())
    {
        if (firstIt->first < secondIt->first)
        {
            ++firstIt;
            continue;
        }
        // find the second word in the same document and AFTER the first word.
        if (secondIt->first < firstIt->first || secondIt->second < firstIt->second + 1)
        {
            ++secondIt;
            continue;
        }
        // first word wasn't just before the second, it's not a phrase.
        if (secondIt->second > firstIt->second + 1)
        {
            ++firstIt;
            continue;
        }
        // We found a phrase.
        intersection.emplace_back(*firstIt);
        ++firstIt;
        ++secondIt;
    }

    return intersection;
}

int main()
{
    WordReferences_t v1, v2;
    v1.push_back(std::make_pair(10, 5));
    v1.push_back(std::make_pair(10, 25));

A: I don't know if this is the most efficient, but you could start with the documents/positions of words[0].  Then go to words[1] and find intersecting documents with positions equal to words[0].position + words[0].length + 1 for the same documents.  Then likewise iterate over the rest of words.  It should narrow down pretty quickly for longer phrases?

A: As you are stated, the data structure you are using is in fact a full inverted index, as stated by Wikipedia:
There are two main variants of inverted indexes: A record level inverted index (or inverted file index or just inverted file) contains a list of references to documents for each word. A word level inverted index (or full inverted index or inverted list) additionally contains the positions of each word within a document.[2] The latter form offers more functionality (like phrase searches), but needs more time and space to be created.
That being said, you can also try to create a phrase index:
http://ww2.cs.mu.oz.au/~jz/fulltext/acmtois04.pdf
(See Figure 2 as a demonstration).
If you are not creating a phrase index, then what you can do (I believe), would be to simply retrieve the documents containing a specific word, intersect the set of documents you are having as you grow the query from words to phrases and then finally go back to the document and see if each returned document you are having in fact contains "the phrase" instead of "words separating each other at different positions".

Q: How to Connect to Laravel FTP? I am creating an admin for a mobile app using laravel.i need to save images and pdf on the mobile server using FTP.
This is my code in config/filesystem.php :
'ftp' => [
    'driver' => 'ftp',
    'host' => '10.10.20.40',
    'username' => 'Username',
    'password' => 'Password',
    'root' => '',
    'port' => 21
 ],

And in my controller :
Storage::disk('ftp')->put($name, fopen($file, 'r+'));

This works and saves the file in the route folder while I have subfolders in the root folder for storing different types of files, for example, images for pictures and PDF for pdf files. how to give the name of subfolders using single FTP?

A: Why don't you try this code instead of going through FTP as FTP is not considered save approach
if ($request->hasFile('filename')) {
       $cover = $request->file('filename');
       $fileName = ('../public_html/myfolder/public/').time().'.'.$request->filename->getClientOriginalExtension();
       $request->filename->move('public_html/myfolder/public', $fileName);
       $users->files =   $fileName;
     }
     else{
       $users->files =   '/public/avatar.jpg';
     }

and in this path you can add checks as per file extensions e.g
$ext = $request->filename->getClientOriginalExtension();
if($ext =='pdf'){
    $request->filename->move('public_html/myfolder/public/PDF', $imageName);
}

and for all other extensions you can manage your path very simply

A: The put function within the Storage class will accept a full path, relative to the root directory of the configured disk (Storing Files - Laravel 8).
Using your code, and assuming you wished to upload $file to the 'images' folder via the FTP driver currently configured - you could use the following code:
Storage::disk('ftp')->put('images/'.$name, fopen($file,'$r+'));

Legendary wicket keeper captain of the Indian Cricket Team. One of the most popular Indian cricketers.
CHECK MS DHONI'S AVAILABILITY & FEES
Mahendra Singh Dhoni Motivational Speaker
Member Team India, biker, gamer, Hindi retro aficionado & an absolute pet-lover.
MS Dhoni is undoubtedly India's most loved Cricketer who captained the Indian national team in limited-overs cricket from 2007 to 2016 and in Test cricket from 2008 to 2014.
It was Under MD Dhoni's captaincy, that India won the 2007 ICC World Twenty20, the 2010 and 2016 Asia Cups, the 2011 ICC Cricket World Cup and the 2013 ICC Champions Trophy.
MS Dhoni is one of the highest run scorers in One Day Internationals (ODIs) with more than 10,000 runs scored. Dhoni is widely regarded as one of the best wicket-keepers and captain in modern limited-overs international cricket.
MS Dhoni also holds numerous captaincy records such as the most wins by an Indian captain in ODIs and T20Is, and most back-to-back wins by an Indian captain in ODIs. He took over the ODI captaincy from Rahul Dravid in 2007 and led the team to its first-ever bilateral ODI series wins in Sri Lanka and New Zealand. In June 2013, when India defeated England in the final of the Champions Trophy in England, Dhoni became the first captain to win all three ICC limited-overs trophies (World Cup, Champions Trophy and the World Twenty20). After taking up the Test captaincy in 2008, he led the team to series wins in New Zealand and the West Indies, and the Border-Gavaskar Trophy in 2008, 2010 and 2013. In 2009, Dhoni also led the Indian team to number one position for the first time in the ICC Test rankings.
MS Dhoni is the recipient of many awards, including the ICC ODI Player of the Year award in 2008 and 2009 (the first player to win the award twice), the Rajiv Gandhi Khel Ratna award in 2007, the Padma Shri, India's fourth highest civilian honour, in 2009 and the Padma Bhushan, India's third highest civilian honour.

Q: LaTeX presentation issues on Windows machines and overhead projector? I have just discovered that LaTeX can be used to create presentations as PDF files. My question is: once I have created the presentation as a PDF file, will it work 'out-of-the-box' on most Windows machines for the purpose of giving presentations? Has anyone encountered any issues while doing this? Is this a 'standard' way where PDF files are opened using Adobe Reader on a Windows machine (that is what is mostly used for giving presentations) and an overhead projector? I have only used Powerpoint before to make and give presentations so I know there are issues with different 'versions' - the version in which the Powerpoint presentation was made and the version on which the actual presentation is given. They have to be similar or compatible otherwise there are formatting issues, etc. PDF files should not have this problem.
I guess my question boils down to: are there any issues that I might encounter if I create a PDF presentation using LaTeX Beamer class to present using a Windows 7, 8 or 10 machine and an LCD projector? Will Adobe Reader be the only software I would need to give the presentation?

A: LaTeX may create several type of document: DVI, PS or PDF for example.
You ask for PDF in particular so to be short: have no worries, you can use it without having trouble.
PDF format is built to be portable and to give the same result whatever the computer, OS and PDF viewer used. Of course some minor change can occur but most of the time you'll not notice them.
You can only use Adobe Reader (or other PDF viewer) to give your presentation. Of course you'll need other software to make your presentation.

The CS in Private Practice workshop focuses on issues specific to practicing Certified Secretaries and other officers involved in corporate secretarial. The seminar also offers the Practitioners an opportunity to network and share experiences on the various issues that they face on a day to day basis. The purpose of this workshop is to equip Certified Secretaries and other professionals with skills that will enable them effectively serve their organizations and clients on matters of corporate compliance requirements as per the Companies Act 2015.
a) The amount, nominal value and currency of issued share capital (Share capital).
b) The requirement for an authorized minimum share capital applicable to public companies (Authorized minimum).
c) The ways in which a company can alter its share capital, including changing the nominal value of its shares, reducing share capital and allotting new shares (Altering share capital).
d) The principle of maintenance of capital and the restrictions on a company's ability to make returns of value to its shareholders (Maintenance of capital).
This will be an overview on the key issues in appointing directors of Kenyan Companies and the various ways by which a director may cease to hold office. A director's appointment may be terminated by resignation, under the company's articles, by operation of law, by ordinary resolution of the Shareholders, under contract – such as a provision in a service agreement requiring the director to resign, by court order or by the death of the director. The presentation will give emphasis on a director's removal from office.
This will be a step-by-step process on how to complete the annual return, and an overview of the documents to accompany or to be filed with the Registrar on the filing of a return.


Last Document Surrendered Milwaukee 5/14/1894: "Total Loss"
"The scow South Side is in Bailey Harbor in a waterlogged condition. The craft left Milwaukee nearly a month ago for Newport, where a cargo of Christmas trees and ties was taken on board. After getting loaded head winds and unfavorable weather caused Capt. Morbeck to seek shelter under the lea of Plum Island. On Thursday of last week a change of wind enabled him to get away from the island and head for Milwaukee. After being out all day and night the scow had to return, the wind having shifted to the south'ard again. Remaining at anchor until Sunday morning Capt. Morbeck made another attempt to get away, and it is possible that he would have reached his destination this time had the craft not sprung a leak which necessitated her running into Baileys Harbor, where the craft was still lying at last reports..." "The unfortunate scow South Side has been abandoned for the winter and still lies in Bailey's Harbor filled with water. All of the crew except the captain and mate have gone to their homes in Milwaukee." "The Hirthe MS reports the South Side had been abandoned 3 miles east of Bailey's Harbor and later picked up by the steambarge William Rudolph, which towed her into Bailey's Harbor, where she subsequently broke up and scattered her load."

Q: Unable to connect to ports via Linux but can with Windows My company recently moved providers and in doing so, machines now require a certificate to access websites. I'm not sure if this is the cause but I figured I should mention this anyway. Before the move, I was able to SSH into my server with no problem, from any operating system. Now, I can only SSH via my Windows 10 virtual machine (both machines are on the office network) but I cannot from my Arch machine. It would appear that I am able to ping ports 443 and 80 via a Linux terminal but I am unable to ping any other open ports that I know are open since I'm able to ping them from command prompt in Windows.
The certificate file that I'm thinking might be the cause comes as a PKCS12 file which I've extracted the data from and placed in /etc/ca-certificates/extracted/tls-ca-bundle.pem as well as /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt.
With that being said, unless this certificate is not installed properly, it should work, right? I've tried a traceroute from both my Arch machine and Windows machine with the following results.

I've called up the provider we are with and they are certain this is not a firewall problem; they can actually see outbound traffic trying to get through to port 22 no matter what system I use which led me to believe it could be the server I am trying to connect to so I logged traffic trying to connect via port 22. What do you know, the requests are landing on the server but they're just not coming back for some reason.
hayden@serverbox:~$ sudo tail -1 /var/log/syslog
Feb  5 12:08:34 localhost kernel: [936377.791850] New ConnectionIN=ens192 OUT= MAC=00:50:56:37:1b:25:00:50:56:8e:7f:8f:08:00 SRC=ee.ee.ee.ee DST=aa.aa.aa.aa LEN=60 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=51 ID=13193 DF PROTO=TCP SPT=54482 DPT=22 WINDOW=29200 RES=0x00 SYN URGP=0

Anything on ports other than 443 and 80, get stuck at dd.dd.dd.dd if I am requesting from my Linux machine which leads me to believe that perhaps I haven't actually installed this certificate properly. My question here is: what am I doing wrong? The firewall on my server is fine - it worked flawlessly before we switched providers. The provider we've moved to won't help because it's not in their scope but they were kind enough to investigate a little anyway, ultimately concluding it's not a problem with their firewall. I don't have much networking experience if I'm honest so it would be helpful for some indicators/pointers on how to further investigate this if no answers can be found here.

*Virtual machine: Windows 10

*Serverbox: Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (Xenial)

Q: How to scroll to a child element in a ListActivity I have a ListActivity class that populates a list using a CursorAdapter.
What I need to do is have the view scroll down to a specific element within the list, based on the values of elements in the list.
The list is a list of items with 'due dates' and if the due date has already passed, I want the view to scroll past it. Therefore upon launch, the user will see the item with the nearest due date at the top (the view will be scrolled to this item). If they want to see past due dates, they can scroll up.
I hope I'm explaining this properly, I simply want to hide items in my ListActivity if their due date has already passed, based on the time the Activity is launched of course.

A: This works:
ListView list = getListView();
int count = list.getCount();

long now = new GregorianCalendar().getTimeInMillis();
int scrollTo = 0;

for ( int i = 0; i < count; i++ ) {
    Cursor cursor = (Cursor)list.getItemAtPosition( i );
    long endtime = cursor.getLong( "endtime" );
    if ( endtime > now ) {
        //this is the one we want to scroll to
        scrollTo = i;
        break;
    }
}
temp.setSelection( scrollTo );

A: Look through the items to find the break point then use the smoothScrollToPosition function to animate to that position
Android Developer Site : AbsListView#smoothScrollToPosition

A: this is just an idea, but if you have a list of items and you can grab the due date and you also have information on the current date, why dont you adjust the gravity of the list so that it has the current note at the top....
OR
if you have a list of notes in the listview, in your onresume and oncreate methods for the activity, reshuffle the notes in the list so that the ones that are passed get put to the bottom of the list, that way the current notes will always be on top and you dont have to worry about trying to mess with the gravity


A tested and paired pair of KT88 Gold Lion tubes.
In 1957 Marconi Osram Valve Co. (Genalex) marketed the legendary tube, the 'KT88 Gold Lion'. This tube gradually became the heart and soul of Dynaco MK3 and McIntosh MC275, among others. Genalex unfortunately discontinued production in 1980. In the following years, this KT88 became scarce and hence very expensive… Currently, New Sensor Corporation is re-releasing the famous KT 88 Gold Lion Genalex in every detail. It is produced in Saratov, Russia, and features a gold-plated grid wire, carbonised screen grids and a tri-alloy clad plate structure. Its performances live up to the resources used. The sound is full-bodied and warm with beautiful mids and bass with outstanding depth and persistence. Certainly the best KT88 tube currently in production.

PRINCESS ANNE, MD - (May 18, 2012) - Today's spring 2012 commencement at the University of Maryland Eastern Shore was a memorable one for the history books.
With 560 people receiving degrees, the class of 2012 was the university's largest in its storied, 125-year history. Graduates ranged in age from 20 to 74.
The youngest was Oluwasegun S. Akinola of Nigeria, who earned a Bachelor of Science degree in biology. James Kenneth MacIntosh Jr. of Fort Washington, Md. was the oldest, receiving a Master of Education in Career and Technology Education degree.
Seventeen people received ceremonial hoods signifying completion of years of work on a doctorate in Organizational Leadership, a terminal degree program now in its 10th year. One was Darlene L. Jackson-Bowen, whose husband, Corey, received his doctorate in the same field in December 2011.
A capacity crowd in the Hytche Athletic Center, and hundreds of others in satellite locations on campus watching a closed-circuit broadcast, saw and heard commencement speaker Charles F. Bolden Jr., the fourth African-American to fly into space and current Administrator of NASA, the nation's space agency.
Bolden, actress Beverly Todd and Dr. Samuel Kojo Dapaah, chief technical advisor to the U.S. Agency for International Development in Ghana, received the UMES Presidential Medal in recognition of career accomplishments in their respective fields.
Actor-director-musician David Ogden Stiers, perhaps best known to American TV audiences as a cast member in the popular situation-comedy, M*A*S*H, received an honorary doctorate. Some in the audience noticed Stiers spoke to each graduate who crossed the stage, and he explained to well-wishers after the ceremony what he was up to.
Stiers, who received his training at the renowned Julliard School, said his motivation was two-fold; he wanted the satisfaction of knowing each graduate heard "congratulations" at least once on an important day, and he also was hoping to gauge how that important moment registered with them.
All but 10-to-12 in some way acknowledged his gesture, which Stiers said he found overwhelmingly heartwarming.
Interim President Mortimer Neufville presided over the two-and-half hour ceremony, telling graduates,"Today you begin to change your direction. Go out in the world and do something memorable and spectacular."
Taking it all in was UMES' next president, Dr. Juliette B. Bell, who was warmly received when introduced to the crowd. Her first official day will be July 1.
Camille Brandenburg of Mardela Springs, one of just a handful of Marylanders offered a coveted spot in the next class at the Virginia Maryland Regional College of Veterinary Medicine at Virginia Tech.
David Bunch of Lincoln, Del., who will attend graduate school to earn a master's degree as a physician assistant.
Ashley Davis of Baltimore, who will work for the Marriott Corp.

Being a journalist in Gambia
By Catherine Soi
Unlike some of its West African neighbours, Gambia has enjoyed relative stability, portrayed in tourist brochures as an idyllic holiday destination.
But it's also a country whose government is well known for intolerance to dissent.
Gambians have been imprisoned, exiled and even allegedly disappeared for being critical of President Yahya Jammeh and his government.
Our mission in the country was to objectively report on issues that affect Gambians: human rights; why thousands of young people are risking their lives to take the perilous journey across the Sahara desert and the Mediterranean Sea to reach Europe; government measures to empower and protect these young people; and an interview with Jammeh on his vision of transforming Gambia into a self- sustaining agricultural hub by 2016.
Some of the our stories would have told a completely different narrative from what is out there, that, despite the negative, ordinary Gambians are empowering themselves economically and socially.
Despite our enthusiasm to tell the Gambian story, we knew it would not be easy. Media freedom has been severely curtailed. Gambia is ranked 151 out of 180 countries in the 2015 World Press Freedom Index.
Naturally, the authorities are uncomfortable with international media. Al Jazeera has tried unsuccessfully to deploy journalists in recent years and it got worse after a failed coup in December 2014.
So when we finally got an official invitation from the Ministry of Information and permission to film, we thought that, maybe, things were finally changing in Gambia.
We entered the country without a hitch, had a very cordial meeting with the permanent secretary at the ministry, and were basically given the go ahead to start our work.
But then something changed. Our local fixer later informed us that there were new instructions not to film anything until we get permission directly from the president.
Later still, the ministry, through our fixer, told us that the president had, for some reason that we were not told, revoked our permission.
Government officials stopped answering our frantic phone calls.
Politics at play
A source close to the minister told us that politics was at play. Those responsible for us were afraid that if we did something that displeased the president then they would probably lose their jobs and they did not want to take that chance.
What happened to us did not surprise Gambian journalists we talked to. They have had it much worse.
I spoke to a writer whose identity I won't reveal because of security reasons.
He considers himself an independent journalist but also knows his boundaries, what he can or cannot report.
"Today is not as bad for journalists as it was years back, but the president is unpredictable and you never know what might happen," he told me.
A radio journalist was recently charged with seven counts of false publication and sedition.
It's also very difficult for ordinary Gambians to discuss publicly issues like governance, politics and the president.
Many will tell you "Dekabi Dodeham" which means "in this country, you never know" in the local Mandika language. You never know whose listening.
Many journalists have left the country. According to statistics by the Doha Centre for Media Freedom, about 20 percent of Gambia's journalists have fled.
I met Sainey Marena in neighboring Senegal. He left the Gambia in November 2014 after threats to his life.
In 2013, he had written a story on how members of the ruling party's youth wing – "green youth" – had defected to the main opposition party.
He was arrested and charged with publication of false information but later acquitted after a trial that took 11 months.
Sainey now runs an online blog on governance and human rights in Gambia. Life in Senegal is tough for him.
"But at least here I am free to practice real journalism without fear or favour," he told me.
'Bridge builder'
The president has of late been sending reconciliatory overtures to his critics. In July he pardoned 249 inmates, including political prisoners.
It came as a surprise, because just weeks before he had been talking about carrying out death sentences.
He said that the release of the prisoners was the beginning of a new chapter, turning a new page.
He also reached out to Gambians in exile to return home, and recently added a new name to his rather wordy title, the "bridge builder" or "Babili Mansa" in the Mandika language.
Gambians I talked to are, however, skeptical of this new tone.
They told me that it will take more than just the word of President "Sheikh Prof. Alhaji Dr. Hajj Abdul James Junkung (AJJ) Jammeh Babili Mansa" to believe that he and his government is ready to rebuild burned bridges.

Desoximetasone Cream USP, 0.25% contains the active synthetic corticosteroid desoximetasone, USP. The topical corticosteroids constitute a class of primarily synthetic steroids used as anti-inflammatory and antipruritic agents.
Each gram of Desoximetasone Cream USP, 0.25% contains 2.5 mg of desoximetasone, USP in an emollient cream consisting of cetostearyl alcohol, edetate disodium dihydrate, isopropyl myristate, lanolin alcohols, mineral oil, purified water and white petrolatum.
Pharmacokinetic studies in men with Desoximetasone Cream, 0.25% with tagged desoximetasone showed a total of 5.2% ± 2.9% excretion in urine (4.1% ± 2.3%) and feces (1.1% ± 0.6%) and no detectable level (limit of sensitivity: 0.005 mcg/mL) in the blood when it was applied topically on the back followed by occlusion for 24 hours. Seven days after application, no further radioactivity was detected in urine or feces. The half-life of the material was 15 ± 2 hours (for urine) and 17 ± 2 hours (for feces) between the third and fifth trial day. Studies with other similarly structured steroids have shown that predominant metabolite reaction occurs through conjugation to form the glucuronide and sulfate ester.
Desoximetasone Cream, 0.25% is indicated for the relief of the inflammatory and pruritic manifestations of corticosteroid-responsive dermatoses.
Desoximetasone Cream, 0.25% is not for ophthalmic use.
Conditions which augment systemic absorption include the application of the more potent steroids, use over large surface areas, prolonged use, and the addition of occlusive dressings. Therefore, patients receiving a large dose of a potent topical steroid applied to a large surface area or under an occlusive dressing should be evaluated periodically for evidence of HPA axis suppression by using the urinary free cortisol and ACTH stimulation tests. If HPA axis suppression is noted, an attempt should be made to withdraw the drug, to reduce the frequency of application, or to substitute a less potent steroid. Recovery of HPA axis function is generally prompt and complete upon discontinuation of the drug. Infrequently, signs and symptoms of steroid withdrawal may occur, requiring supplemental systemic corticosteroids.
Pediatric patients may absorb proportionally larger amounts of topical corticosteroids and thus be more susceptible to systemic toxicity (See PRECAUTIONS - Pediatric Use). If irritation develops, topical corticosteroids should be discontinued and appropriate therapy instituted.
Long-term animal studies have not been performed to evaluate the carcinogenic potential or the effect on fertility of desoximetasone.
Desoximetasone was nonmutagenic in the Ames test.
Desoximetasone has been shown to be teratogenic and embryotoxic in mice, rats, and rabbits when given by subcutaneous or dermal routes of administration in doses 3 to 30 times the human dose of Desoximetasone Cream, 0.25% and 15 to 150 times the human dose of Desoximetasone Cream, 0.05%, or desoximetasone gel, 0.05%.
There are no adequate and well-controlled studies in pregnant women on teratogenic effects from topically applied corticosteroids. Therefore, Desoximetasone Cream, 0.25% should be used during pregnancy only if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the fetus. Drugs of this class should not be used extensively on pregnant patients, in large amounts, or for prolonged periods of time.
It is not known whether topical administration of corticosteroids could result in sufficient systemic absorption to produce detectable quantities in breastmilk. Systemically administered corticosteroids are secreted into breastmilk in quantities not likely to have a deleterious effect on the infant. Nevertheless, caution should be exercised when topical corticosteroids are administered to a nursing woman.
In controlled clinical studies the incidence of adverse reactions was low (0.8%) for Desoximetasone Cream, 0.25% and included burning, folliculitis, and folliculo-pustular lesions. The incidence of adverse reactions was also 0.8% for Desoximetasone Cream, 0.05% and included pruritus, erythema, vesiculation, and burning sensation.
Apply a thin film of Desoximetasone Cream USP, 0.25% to the affected skin areas twice daily. Rub in gently.
Desoximetasone Cream USP, 0.25% is supplied in 15 gram, 60 gram and 100 gram tubes.


Last night I got sick after eating dinner at Primi. We think it was the food I worded, because it was salmon and wheat pasta.Anyway my tummy was not happy. The worst part was it is Kieron's birthday and he had to drive 800 km to the border. The night before we decided to ordered breakfast in the room and this morning I couldn't eat anything. The breakfast was amazing! So much food for two people. Kieron ate most of the food and took two croissants with us on the road. I managed to break one apart and eat that. We left the Hilton to drive to the Orange River and to where we were staying. It started to bucket down again and 40 km from border, half the main road was flooded.
We stayed at Felix United Camp. The road to the camp is tared, but half it was washed away. Half the camp was washed away as well. The road to our rooms, where washed away, so they put us in other rooms further up the bank.
a Made it. Mikey the Micra.
Windhoek: So I was on driving duty to the capital of Namibia. Though I didn't drive the whole stretch. While driving the heavens decided to open with a bucketful of rain. Windhoek is just a big city, which is in the middle of a revamp. Staying in a city can give you good places and not so hot places.
I think what made my thought of staying in the city, so much better was the fact that we stayed in the Hilton (yes the Hilton, the most expensive hotel there is) for two nights. I never thought I would ever set foot in a hotel like that in my life. It was such an experience! Anyway for supper we decided to check out the hotel restaurants. We had sushi for supper, was expensive but was an amazing experience!:) R 52 for a glass of white wine!
Today was pretty much a chilled day. We got up, went to breakfast next door. Then afterwards we went to the museum in the morning and around midday we went to find lunch. We discussed that we both wanted to do quad biking the next morning but we had to go and book. So after lunch we went to the aquarium and then later on in the afternoon we went to book for quad biking. The quad biking is on the edge of town in the sand dunes. Swakopmund is surrounded by sand dunes and the sea.
Ron suggested we drive back to the apartments for a rest before we head off to find dinner. The Tug restaurant was decided on in the end and it was the best decision we made. The food was amazing! The best seafood we had and we live in Cape Town! The Tug is set on a jetty at the harbour in an old boat, they have done up. It is beautiful, sitting on the jetty watching the sun setting.
Today Ron and I had a long drive to our next town, Swakopmund on a dust road, through passes. All dust roads had a very good gradient and we where very impressed with the passes. On the way out of Soussvlei there is a small town called Solitaire. This has a petrol station, lodge, bakery and general store, but they serve the most awesome apple pie. I remember this town been only been a petrol station and a general store back in the day. They still made awesome apple pie to this day.
We drove to Walvis Bay and then down the cost to Swakopmund. On the way we got stopped at a road blog. I must admit the police are really chilled about road blogs, though because we where from South Africa, they stopped us. They where very friendly.

His last assignment was as commander, Air Combat Command (ACC) at Langley Air Force Base in Virginia. Prior to serving as the ACC commander, Carlisle was the Commander of Pacific Air Forces, the Air Component Commander for U.S. Pacific Command, and Executive Director of the Pacific Air Combat Operations Staff at the Joint Base Pearl Harbor in Hawaii.
Carlisle has served in various operational and staff assignments throughout the Air Force and commanded a fighter squadron, an operations group, two wings, and a numbered air force. He was a joint service officer and served as chief of air operations, U.S. Central Command Forward in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. During that time, he participated in Operation Restore Hope in Somalia. He also participated in Operation Provide Comfort in Turkey and Operation Noble Eagle, which continues.
Carlisle served as director of operational planning, policy, and strategy, deputy chief of staff for air, space and information operations, plans, and requirements, and twice in the plans and programs directorate. He also served as deputy director and later director of legislative liaison at the Office of the Secretary of the Air Force.
Carlisle is a command pilot with more than 3,600 flying hours in the AT-38, YF-110, YF-113, T-38, F-15A/B/C/D, and C-17A.

Does the Adoption of Inclusive Selectorates Influence Party Membership?
The Literature on party politics has identified two distinct phenomena: democratization in leadership and candidate selection methods (Pilet and Cross, 2014; Cross and Blais, 2012; Kenig, 2009; Kittilson and Scarrow, 2003; Bille 2001; Hazan and Rahat, 2010) and a decrease in the number of party members (van Biezen, Mair, and Poguntke, 2012; Scarrow and Gezgor, 2010). However, there is evidence that within the broad picture of membership decline, there are patterns of seasonal growth. These may be explained by the adoption of inclusive selection methods that give members a voice in determining who the party leader and legislative candidate/s will be. So-called 'instant membership' had been recognized in Canada and Israel, two of the nations which had early and long experience with inclusive methods (party primaries). This instant membership entails a rapid growth in the number of party members prior to primary contests, followed by a sharp decline when the contest is over, as members do not bother to stay. In this paper we try to investigate whether similar trends in party membership can be traced in other nations that have adopted inclusive leadership selectorates. In other words, we ask whether, and in what manner, a change in the rules of games has affected the number of party members, by creating incentives for enrolling as (short-term) members. For this end, we use two large datasets that were recently made available: MAPP's party members' dataset (van Haute and Gauja, 2015) which provides merged data of membership figures in over than thirty nations, and leadership selection dataset (Pilet and Cross, 2014) which provides data on thirteen nations.

Commander in Cheat: How Golf Explains Trump (Hardcover)
By Rick Reilly
"Reilly pokes more holes in Trump's claims than there are sand traps on all of his courses combined. It is by turns amusing and alarming."-- The New Yorker
"Golf is the spine of this shocking, wildly humorous book, but humanity is its flesh and spirit." -- Chicago Sun-Times
"Every one of Trump's most disgusting qualities surfaces in golf." -- The Ringer
An outrageous indictment of Donald Trump's appalling behavior when it comes to golf -- on and off the green -- and what it reveals about his character.
Donald Trump loves golf. He loves to play it, buy it, build it, and operate it. He owns 14 courses around the world and runs another five, all of which he insists are the best on the planet. He also claims he's a 3 handicap, almost never loses, and has won an astonishing 18 club championships.
How much of all that is true? Almost none of it, acclaimed sportswriter Rick Reilly reveals in this unsparing look at Trump in the world of golf.
Based on Reilly's own experiences with Trump as well as interviews with over 100 golf pros, amateurs, developers, and caddies, Commander in Cheat is a startling and at times hilarious indictment of Trump and his golf game. You'll learn how Trump cheats (sometimes with the help of his caddies and Secret Service agents), lies about his scores (the "Trump Bump"), tells whoppers about the rank of his courses and their worth (declaring that every one of them is worth $50 million), and tramples the etiquette of the game (driving on greens doesn't help). Trump doesn't brag so much, though, about the golf contractors he stiffs, the course neighbors he intimidates, or the way his golf decisions wind up infecting his political ones.
For Trump, it's always about winning. To do it, he uses the tricks he picked up from the hustlers at the public course where he learned the game as a college kid, and then polished as one of the most bombastic businessmen of our time. As Reilly writes, "Golf is like bicycle shorts. It reveals a lot about a man." Commander in Cheat "paints a side-splitting portrait of a congenital cheater" (Esquire), revealing all kinds of unsightly truths Trump has been hiding.
Currently a screenwriter and author, Rick Reilly for years wrote for Sports Illustrated and appeared on and wrote for ESPN. In addition to being voted the NSMA National Sportswriter of the Year eleven times, he has also been recognized with the Damon Runyon Award for Outstanding Contributions to Journalism. USA Today called him, "the closest thing sportswriting ever had to a rock star."

I started my Blessed weekend in the valley camping out with friends at Levitt Lake.
It was such a blast this year to chill out with Megan and aid her with her booth. Im grateful to have Blessed Coast held right in our backyard. The festival is a great place for individuals to gather, connect and grow. I think everyone has a different perspective on what really goes on over "festivals" and we attend or opt out for different reasons. Deus (a soft spoken powerful spoken word artist) said something along the lines of combining music and arts, bridging a gap with incorporation of therapy. I have switched gears in my life significantly and have been woking in the wellness sector over the last 6 months and could not agree more that many festivals aren't just a place to get high on drugs but more of a place and opportunity to get high on life. A place to tune into your creative inspiration, your aflflatus. Lots of people take drugs to tune out, and heck that may eventually lead them to tuning in to what matters. But I think there were lots of individuals coming together and tuning in to that spark that lights the fire in our root. That energy that kept young teens dancing way later than I felt like staying up.
Some highlights for me included listening to female beat boxer, (Green?), listening to a bunch of great music from artists I dont know, Deus spoken word pieces, connecting and conversing with peeps, river dips, lounging with Buzz, and pushing my body to stay up until 8am one n̶i̶g̶h̶t̶ morning.
Fractal Teapot (Jamie Perrelet) and Sacred Light Design Co. (Arii Lazer) will put you into another dimension of reverie with their visuals.
The next day was a little blurry, but we balanced er out in the booth with a little shade and sunshine.
Colin Elder, representing for one of his communities.
Frase and Megan connecting, Its amazing how small this world is.
Kids so high on life, their prana keeps them floating all night long.

When the Scots lost to Italy on 13 September, the following year's spectacular New Zealand contest seemed a million miles away, but a thrilling 27-22 extra-point win over Spain on Sunday brought Brian's charge back. Ishaan in the competition.
Before the final round of matches in Parma, Italy on Saturday – against hosts Spain at 14:00 UK time and Scotland-Ireland at 17:00 UK time – all four countries are tied by five points and finish in each of them. Maybe lead and secure a pass. In New Zealand till that evening.

News cut out the noise
The second-placed team will race for a World Cup spot in back-to-back events while Sapna will finish third and fourth.
"There's definitely a lot to be done by this group of players," said Miller, "we look for improvements every time we play and we get them before the cup final for us."
"There was a huge change in pace in the first half of the match against Spain which gave us confidence in the second half and that is what we wanted as a group.
"We are very proud of the players and the way they have faced Spain in the last 10 minutes. The defensive effort was huge and that's something we developed from the match against Italy.
"There are things we are not entirely happy with and we will continue to work on Ireland first.
"Anything can happen last weekend and we will prepare properly without letting go, and we will do everything we can to be prepared."
Miller explained that there have been some "bumps and bruises" after the match with Spain, but that the full expanded squad is available for selection to face Ireland, including second-line Sarah Bonar, who has been out of work commitments last time around. The reason was missed.

I've been listening to the litany of anti-union complaints echoing throughout the chatter that passes for news in this country. Foremost, it seems, is the complaint that union members, particularly in the public sector, enjoy "Cadillac" health insurance plans. And their copays for these plans, the complaints go, aren't as crippling as those paid by non-unionized workers who are lucky enough to have healthcare. As is the norm for propaganda, there's a lot of misinformation in these reports. Many union members working in the private sector, such as members of Teamsters locals, enjoy better healthcare plans than many public employees—who are the current target-de-jour for the feudalist movement. And there are unionized workers, public and private, who have yet to win the right to healthcare. But there is a basic truth in this media chatter: Unionized workers are more likely to have health insurance, and it's more likely to be better health insurance than most working Americans enjoy. It's not better, however, than the universal healthcare that workers in every other industrialized Western democracy take for granted as a birthright.
So my question, which should be painfully obvious, is why are we vilifying union members for successfully defending a right we should all enjoy? Rather than adopting the feudalist argument that none of us should have healthcare, why not insist that we all have healthcare? Why don't we all fight to have the same healthcare as Teamsters have? The same can be said for all other rights that unions have successfully defended. Shouldn't we all have the right to some modicum of job security—perhaps a mandate that we be fired for a reason, as union contracts often provide, rather than be fired on a political or ageist whim? Shouldn't we all have a right to be protected as whistleblowers when we see our bosses acting immorally or illegally? Shouldn't we all have a right to contribute to a guaranteed pension system that won't be looted by our employers? Shouldn't we all have the right to work in a safe environment? Shouldn't we all have the ability to negotiate a living wage? Is this really a radical notion?
I can go on and on here, but my point is simple. Why side with our oppressors as they try to expand their reach and oppress everyone? Why not side with those who are standing up and fighting back. Toward that end, instead of fighting against unions, why not fight to have one of your own? Why not fight to unionize everybody? And like all revolutions, it doesn't stop there. Unionize everybody! And fight to keep our unions from being corrupted.
Unions fought for and won fundamental rights that we all now take for granted—things ranging from child labor and minimum wage laws to lunch breaks and the 40 hour week. And as union wages increased, so did non-union wages, since union contracts raised the wage floor in our free market for labor. As long as union jobs offered better pay and benefits, they would attract better workers, which worked out well for unionized businesses. In order to compete to hire qualified workers, non-union businesses had to match union wages and benefits. Some of us paid union dues, but all of us reaped the benefits those dues bought. The union effect balances the profit-wage equation. Take it away, and the equation tips back toward the radical social inequity of the 19th century and the period right before the Great Depression.
And this is what is happening. As the wage floor increased, the need for individuals to join unions decreased. Ultimately, the minority of workers who remained unionized carried the responsibility of maintaining competitive wage and benefit levels for everyone. With the deindustrialization brought on by the Reagan-Bush-Clinton-era, corporate-authored free trade pacts came a collapse of the unionized sector, as corporations relocated production overseas to take advantage of non-unionized sweatshop labor working under unregulated conditions with little or no worker safety, child labor, or overtime rules. The result was the drop in the domestic wage floor that unions are desperately fighting against.
With the rise of corporate-owned media monopolies and the 2010 Supreme Court ruling allowing corporations to poison the political system with unlimited bribes in the form of political contributions, corporations are now ratcheting up their fight to bring the sweatshop economy home, essentially erasing the social gains of the 20th century. Unions, decimated as they are, are the last remaining organized social force that is standing up against this new feudalism.
But the fight isn't just about saving the middle class. When Congress enacted the Wagner Act in 1935, it acknowledged how the drop in wages during a similar corporate push against workers in the 1920s led to a drop in consumer power, which ultimately led to the great depression. The Wagner Act was designed to protect workers' rights to organize and bargain collectively. The Wagner Act wasn't just about protecting of workers' rights. It was about protecting the economy against another depression by leveling the bargaining power of labor and corporations, and in turn, keeping the wage floor at a sustainable level.
I'm a union member. We're carrying the fight not just for ourselves and our own jobs and contracts but for all workers. And if the authors of the Wagner Act are correct, we're also fighting to save the US economy from destruction brought on by an out of control pathological greed. But we are too few in number and the fight that corporations and Wall Street are waging against American workers is overwhelming. Please don't leave us standing here alone. And don't be duped into thinking that we are your enemies.
We are in for a historically unprecedented fight as a small powerful elite are rolling back a century of social and democratic gains. Join us, and we won't leave you behind. Rather than being duped into vilifying those of us who are still holding on to the American dream, join us. Rather than being tricked into organizing against us, organize with us. We are you. Unionize everybody!
This is my new two-word meme. Unionize everybody! You can shout it or tweet it. It fits in a seven-second "news" soundbite. It's a good answer even when nobody's asking a question. You can write it on a placard or spray it on a wall. But make yourself heard: Unionize everybody!

Saborea Tenerife offers gastronomic sampling events across the different municipalities of the island with the aim of improving existing supply and providing the sector with new opportunities to improve the gastronomic choices for visitors to the island. These events always focus on a star product.
For obvious reasons, in Los Realejos our star product has to be the Bonita potato. Five hundred years after being introduced into Los Realejos, this staple part of our cuisine has turned Icod el Alto into the potato hub of the Canary Islands.
Thanks to the efforts of farmers in Icod el Alto, Palo Blanco and Las Llanadas, there is still a wide selection of different varieties that have disappeared from the other islands.
Every year in July the town hall of Los Realejos organises the gastronomic sampling event of the Bonita potato to celebrate the arduous efforts of its local farmers.


The second album from Mosaic MSC is edgy and entrancing, like their hometown of L.A. Inspired by electro-pop and alt-rock, the worship band creates flickering anthems that unite the universal with the intimate. "Heartbeat" nestles a yearning for God's love inside synth squiggles and fizzy percussion, and on the charmingly simple "Never Stop," faith is defined as unconditional over a swirling dance groove. Vocalist Mariah McManus delivers an abundance of arresting moments, including her breathy meditation on Jesus' love in the ethereal title track.
Some beautiful songs on this album, I especially love May God Be All Around Us.
I've been waiting for this album for awhile, and it did not disappoint!!! YOU NEED TO DOWNLOAD THIS ABLUM IF YOU HAVEN'T ALREADY!!

No matter how dedicated I am to my workout routine when I'm on my home turf, a relaxing vacation can throw me off my game. It's too easy to make every day feel like a lazy day. I like to sleep in late (even though my toddler doesn't let that happen often). I love a margarita at lunch and wine at dinner. I've even been known to log some serious leisurely lounge chair afternoons where I turn off my "gotta go, gotta go" mindset. With no preschool drop-off, no supervising as my elementary girl walks to school, no errands, no dance class or soccer practice, I can actually put my iCalendar away and just enjoy the moments.
Even though I try to find every excuse in the book to just flop about all day every day on vacay, I've come to realize that, no matter where we go, I can still stay fit. Check out these seven easy vacation workouts that you can do on any trip to blast 350 calories.
When I'm on vacation, the hotel room becomes home. Even if you don't want to leave your room, you can still get your workout on. Use water bottles to add a weight-lifting boost to the basics.
Last month, my "mom friends" and I booked a one-night stay in a Hilton Garden Inn near our town. It was a casual, kid-free night in with my girls. We took advantage of every inch of that hotel. We had cocktails in the Pavillion lounge, soaked in the whirlpool by the pool, got a great night's sleep, and started the morning with a workout. If you're staying at a Hilton Garden Inn, take advantage of their Complimentary Fitness Center and get your fitness on with their premium cardio and weight training equipment and the following workout.
Getting down and dirty has a new meaning when you're working out on the beach. Spread out your towel and get ready to lay your way to a fit physique. After your toning time, take a dip in the ocean to wash off the sand before diving headfirst into a guilty pleasure beach read.
I love splashing around the pool with the kids on vacation. Every time I'm in there, I marvel at what a fun way it is to burn some calories and build some muscle. When you do traditional exercises and toss in the resistance of water, you get a low-impact cardio burn that you just can't beat.
On our last trip, we were thisclose to missing our flight. Imagine me, my husband, and our two kids hauling cheeks through the airport at breakneck speed to get to the gate. Oh, and we had all of our bags (I hate paying to check them) in tow. Needless to say, I worked up a sweat. So why not use the jetway as a runway?
I'll never forget the car trip when I was seven months pregnant. I was desperate to keep the circulation in my legs going while sitting during the ten hour trip. No one needs swollen ankles, right? These quick and easy moves would have help keep the blood flowing.
Just because you have to sit doesn't mean you can't get fit. Even though it might be a bumpy, crowded ride, you can still use the train's seats to tone your legs, arms, and thighs.
Whatcha waitin' for? Go forth, hit the road, fly the skies, and swim the seas. Just don't get out of your workout groove.

Lawmakers are introducing legislation to keep Iowa's small rural hospitals open

Iowa House lawmakers, who are advanced supporters of the legislation, say they could offer a financial lifeline to Iowa's small rural hospitals facing closure.
The Health and Human Services Committee on Tuesday voted unanimously to submit a bill to Parliament that would introduce a state licensing scheme for "rural emergency hospitals."
New federal regulations allow rural hospitals to discontinue inpatient care and instead focus on providing outpatient services and emergency medical care through a dedicated emergency department that quickly treats and discharges.
The bill also increases government reimbursement rates for Medicare and Medicaid patients treated at a rural emergency hospital.
"Anything we can do to help rural hospitals keep their doors open and I think this will help rebuild a facility in Keokuk and prop up other small, rural hospitals that are at risk of closing their doors." to close," said committee member Rep. Thomas Jay Moore, R-Griswold said.
Congress introduced the new Medicare provider designation in 2021 to provide access to emergency medical care and other services in areas where there would otherwise be no hospital.
Republican US Senator Chuck Grassley of Iowa helped pass the law. And along with Republican Rep. Marianne Miller-Meeks of Iowa, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services urged the final rules to be released quickly following a hospital closure in southeastern Iowa.
Quincy, Illinois-based Blessing Health closed its 49-bed Keokuk Hospital last fall due to operating losses and low demand for inpatient care.
"The closure of Keokuk Hospital is just one of many hospital closures in rural America and will not be the last," Keokuk Mayor Kathie Mahoney said in October in a statement from community leaders studying options for maintaining quality health services in the community , including as a rural emergency hospital.
The creation of the new license designation offers rural hospitals the opportunity to properly size their healthcare infrastructure while maintaining essential medical services for their communities, Grassley said in a statement at the time.
However, passage of the program requires that legislatures in each state establish statewide requirements and licensing regulations for the new type of provider.
The bill applies to a general hospital operating on a valid need certificate with no more than 50 approved beds in a rural area with a population between 30,000 and 35,000, according to 2020 census figures.
"This is a great opportunity to support rural communities and keep rural hospitals open," said Rep. Heather Matson, D-Ankeny, HHS committee member.
Committee members also voted unanimously to move forward with legislation that would expand the scope of a loan forgiveness program for mental health providers.
Lawmakers gave the Iowa College Student Aid Commission $1.5 million last year to pay for a psychiatrist student loan repayment program.
The program was created to increase the number of non-prescribing mental health physicians serving in cities in states with in-state mental health deficiencies by providing loan repayees with up to five consecutive years of full-time service, unless, a waiver of part-time work is granted. time service.
The bill, presented Tuesday, expands the scope to include all eligible, licensed mental health professionals working in the state during a five-year, full-time practice. The Student Assistance Commission would give priority to eligible Iowa residents to enroll in a university and agree to practice in a service area located in an area with a mental health skills shortage.
The bill also requires recipients to be registered as an actively participating Medicaid provider.
"This brings a number of other mental health professionals to Iowa that we need," said Rep. Mary Madison, D-West Des Moines. "And it serves Medicaid patients."
