Many of us have grown up hearing that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. However, as we grow older and our lives become more rushed, breakfast might have lost its importance in our lives. Instead of having eggs, toast, or hot cereal at the kitchen table, we might simply grab a granola bar or an unhealthy caffeinated beverage on our way to work. Some may also claim that they feel nauseous in the morning and can’t bear to have anything but lots of coffee to wake themselves up. The unhealthy factor of this habit is another topic for discussion, but we first need to understand why breakfast should not be skipped. Instead of not eating breakfast, there are low calorie breakfast ideas that you can consider to start a healthy lifestyle.
Let’s take a look at just a few excellent reasons now:
1. Developing Healthy Habits
While having breakfast is a healthy habit in itself, research shows that this also leads to other positive habits. For instance, regular breakfast eaters are less likely to suffer from obesity. They’re also less likely to develop many kinds of chronic diseases. This is why many experts would still say that having breakfast is something we should all do every single day.
However, it’s worth mentioning that such studies are observational and not clinical. The people who eat breakfast might also have some other baits that increase their overall health. Sources also tell us that those who have breakfast will also probably eat more fiber, micronutrients, and generally have a healthier diet than other groups.
Similar studies show that people who don’t have breakfast regularly( (which is around quarter of all Americans) have a tendency to consume more alcohol, smoke more cigarettes, and not exercise so much. All these could be reasons why breakfast eaters might be healthier than non-breakfast eaters.
If we look at randomized controlled trials on this issue, they show that the act of eating breakfast might not directly mean a healthier body overall. However, this does mean that healthier habits include eating breakfast. Getting enough fuel to exercise and stay active throughout the day is likely to lead to a better state of physical health, and having breakfast is an important part of getting that fuel.
2. Maintaining the Rhythm
It’s also said that skipping breakfast in the morning might throw off the body’s eating and fasting rhythm. When a person wakes up, their body usually requires some form of blood sugar so that the brain and muscle starts working in their best form. With breakfast, we can replenish the blood sugar levels and start our day on a high note.
If we skip breakfast, the body wouldn’t be able to get that much-needed fuel. The result might mean an energy drag for most of the day. When you do finally get some food, you’re more likely to consume more, resulting in the intake of excessive calories. You might even overeat to the point of developing digestive problems. In fact, a large meal in the middle of the day makes people sluggish, sleepy, and low in productivity.
3. Getting Important Nutrients
Eating breakfast allows a person to get in some essential vitamins, nutrients, and minerals that they might otherwise not take in. Many people won’t consider drinking milk or having grain-based cereal for any meal other than breakfast. We might also be too rushed to be careful about what goes in our body, so taking time for breakfast is even more essential.
If someone doesn’t consume breakfast regularly, they might be missing out on a lot of healthy food items and food groups. Once we understand this issue, we should take steps to ensure that a healthy, wholesome breakfast is part of the day from now on.
4. Controlling Weight
Research also shows us that those who have breakfast regularly are usually thinner than breakfast skippers. This doesn’t really mean that the meal itself makes you slimmer, but that you’re eating the right kind of protein-based foods as well as the necessary fiber. These choices help to keep us feeling full for a longer time, suppressing our appetite and cravings for the major part of the day.
Having breakfast might not directly help you lose weight, but it’s also not recommended to skip this meal if you’re on a diet. According to several studies, people who eat breakfast daily usually lose weight and manage to keep it off as well. This is probably because they get the majority of their calories in the beginning of the day and then manage to burn them off. If they do skip or pare down a meal, it’s usually lunch instead of breakfast.
5. Paying Attention to Breakfast
There’s also been research into the manner of breakfast we have. If we’re used to having a very large breakfast, at least one study suggests that this makes us more likely to consume more food afterward as well. This could be because of the blood sugar spikes that result in hunger and cravings.
It’s evident that breakfast has to be a well thought-out and balanced meal just like any other. During the work week, make it easy for yourself and go with a green smoothie and a piece of wholegrain toast. When you have time, plan your breakfast and treat yourself to some yogurt, oatmeal, fresh fruits, and other interesting ideas to start the day.
6. The Importance of Breakfast for Kids
Having kids in the house usually means that mornings are really rushed. You have shoes and clothes to locate, school buses to catch, and several other priorities on your to-do list. With all this happening at once, skipping breakfast might seem like the easiest way to buy some time. However, it’s especially important that children get a fulfilling breakfast before they leave for school or start a day full of playing.
Kids have growing bodies, which need plenty of nutrients and vitamins to stay healthy. Some sources also say that if children don’t eat in the morning, they have trouble focusing at school and tire more easily than their peers. They might also be crankier, which means both their schoolwork and social life will suffer.
Just like adults, skipping breakfast or not having the right kind of breakfast foods will also result in kids eating more junk food afterwards. This will lead to excessive weight gain.
If your kid really feels unable to stomach a decent breakfast in the morning, give them a snack to have on the way to school. You can try nuts, fruits, half a sandwich–anything to tempt them once they wake up properly. If the act of chewing is problematic for some kids, see if a smoothie or shake will work instead. In case someone in your family has certain dietary needs, look up some special diet-sensitive meal options for them.
The importance of breakfast is evident when we look at the research as well as real life experiences. However, it’s also essential to understand that the type of breakfast we have really matters. Take a look at the health benefits of tomatoes and try to incorporate them with your eggs. If you don’t have enough time during the week, prep some ready-to-go breakfasts during the weekend. Once you get into the habit of healthy, homemade breakfast, you’ll hopefully feel a lot more energized during the day. Pretty soon, you might not even be able to do without downing at least a little breakfast to get going at the start of each day.


WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Most striking to me about President Bush's final State of the Union address Monday night was how unsurprising it was. Before the speech, White House officials set low expectations -- and Bush met them.
This is a president who had previously used this same stage of a packed House chamber to dramatically talk about an "axis of evil" to build the case for war in Iraq or to launch massive domestic initiatives like Social Security reform. But this time he offered little that was new or bold.
In fairness to the president, his hands are fairly well tied as he begins his final year in office. With a Democratic Congress, he's unlikely to get to very much of his agenda enacted. And truth be told, if he had walked up to the rostrum and outlined 10 complicated new initiatives, I'd be writing today about how unrealistic Bush was being.
So this was in part an acknowledgement of the new political reality, especially with that exciting, wide-open campaign to replace Bush getting more attention. (Did you notice how all the TV networks justifiably spent so much time on those delicious cutaway shots in the chamber of Sen. Barack Obama huddling with new best-friend-forever Sen. Edward Kennedy, while Sen. Hillary Clinton sat nearby, no doubt fuming?) Watch how Bush's megaphone is shrinking »
The bottom line is that the bully pulpit certainly seems smaller for Bush, but you have to give him this: On the two issues that are likely to define how his final year in office goes -- the economy and Iraq -- he is still setting the agenda. Read highlights from the address »
On the economy, the president tried to make the case he can work with Democrats to prevent America from sliding into recession. "In this election year, let us show our fellow Americans that we recognize our responsibilities and are determined to meet them," he said.
But he also prodded Democrats a bit, telling them to move quickly to complete action on that much-ballyhooed, bipartisan $150 billion economic stimulus plan and resist the temptation to load it up with extra provisions. "That would delay it or derail it, and neither option is acceptable," he said.
Pay attention to this back and forth. Senate Democrats have already starting adding other money to the package, such as unemployment compensation. Republicans are privately salivating at Democrats slowing down relief to hurting Americans and paying a price with voters in November, thereby mitigating the political damage for the GOP from a potential recession. Watch CNN analysts react to the president's address »
On Iraq, Bush had some good news to tout, especially compared to last year's State of the Union. Then he was defending a controversial surge initiative and Democrats were lining up to schedule votes to change his policy. Since then, Democrats have failed on vote after vote, while security on the ground in Iraq has gotten better and about 20,000 U.S. troops have started heading home.
Nevertheless, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nevada, pointed out there has been little political progress by the Iraqi government. And even with the troop cuts, there will still be about 140,000 U.S. troops in Iraq, a reminder that like the economy, Iraq is a part of the president's legacy that is still unsettled.
As the president ponders his legacy on these two major issues, think of the irony The Washington Post pointed out earlier this week. The White House spent the past few years talking up a strong economy, but got very little credit because of struggles in Iraq. Now things are getting better in Iraq, but Bush is getting very little credit for that because .... the economy is getting worse. E-mail to a friend

Wireless body sensor networks based on ultra-wideband radio have recently received much research attention due to its wide applications in health-care, security, sports and entertainment. Accurate localization is a fundamental problem to realize the development of effective location-aware applications above. In this paper the problem of constrained state estimation for individual localization in wireless body sensor networks is addressed. Priori knowledge about geometry among the on-body nodes as additional constraint is incorporated into the traditional filtering system. The analytical expression of state estimation with linear constraint to exploit the additional information is derived. Furthermore, for nonlinear constraint, first-order and second-order linearizations via Taylor series expansion are proposed to transform the nonlinear constraint to the linear case. Examples between the first-order and second-order nonlinear constrained filters based on interacting multiple model extended kalman filter (IMM-EKF) show that the second-order solution for higher order nonlinearity as present in this paper outperforms the first-order solution, and constrained IMM-EKF obtains superior estimation than IMM-EKF without constraint. Another brownian motion individual localization example also illustrates the effectiveness of constrained nonlinear iterative least square (NILS), which gets better filtering performance than NILS without constraint.

Redness under the breasts: Is it Irritation or Eczema?
Redness under the breasts and the appearance of itchy red pimples are common. The area under the breasts has a risk of maceration, friction with the bra and heat that promote irritation and microbial proliferation whether it is mycotic (candidiasis) or bacteria. Indeed, it is too common for sweating to stagnate under the breasts and rubbing under the breasts is definitely an irritating factor.
In case of redness of the breasts, it is necessary to consult a doctor and if possible a dermatologist.
Nipple irritation is an often embarrassing and sometimes disturbing symptoms. From shingles allergy to more serious diseases, this skin lesion can be a sign of various pathologies.
Red skin, peeling and scratching, sensitivity to touch, tingling, no doubt, these manifestations are those of irritation of the nipple. To get rid of it, the most important thing is to find the cause.
Nipple irritation may be a sign of a bacterial infection caused by:
In some cases, it is the result of a local allergy to the laundry, the metal frame of the bra, etc. Nipple irritation can also be caused by an external irritative element such as underwear that rubs on the skin.
In some people, the origin is viral in the image of shingles that can also affect the nipples.
It can also be a symptom of a more serious pathology, Paget's disease of the breast. This rare condition is a sign of underlying breast cancer.
What is Eczema of the breast?
It is eczema of the nipple skin, and most women develop, will have an underlying breast cancer. Eczema disease occurs in about 1 or 2% of women who have breast cancer, it first appears as a scaly, red rash affecting the nipple and areola. It can be very painful, can bleed and it will not go away. The disease can be difficult to diagnose because it can be very similar to other skin conditions such as eczema or dermatitis.
This condition usually affects:
the nipple first,
then spreads to the areola,
while the other skin problems usually start in the surrounding areas.
Symptoms of Breast Eczema
At some point in their lives, most men and women will experience itchy nipples. Many factors that can cause the condition. Dermatitis of the breast and nipples can have several causes.
These include eczema and irritation or allergic dermatitis. Some types of dermatitis can also cause eczema.
Some forms of eczema result from an allergic reaction or contact with products such as purified lanolin, chamomile ointment and perfumes.
Symptoms of breast eczema can include:
crying or fleeing lesions
the formation of crusts or scales, or the formation of plaques
The treatment of nipple or areola eczema includes:
avoid things that cause or aggravate the reaction
avoid scratching as this can worsen the situation and lead to infection
keep the skin hydrated with moisturizers
use topical steroids and other prescription medications as recommended
Diagnosis of Breast Eczema
Antibiotic treatment may be necessary in case of infection. People should make sure to take the medication as directed.
The doctor will discuss possible causes of redness under the arms and in the breasts:
Dermatophytosis forms dry plates with progressive extension. It is quite rare under the breast unless it is associated with a mycosis of the surrounding skin.
The doctor will move towards one or more causes of breast eczema depending on the symptoms: bilateral and symmetrical redness under the two breasts or unilateral under one breast, the presence of drought or on the contrary oozing, centrifugal extension, sharp limits or crumbled contours, presence of vesicles, pustules, cracking at the bottom of the crease.
The doctor sometimes makes a mycological sample (for direct examination and culture) or bacteriological and sometimes a skin biopsy (he takes a small piece of skin under local anesthesia for a microscopic analysis).
What are the Treatments for Breast Eczema?
If the irritation is related to an infection, antibiotic or antiviral drugs will be the treatment of reference. To specifically treat the lesions around the nipple, they must be dried with a local antiseptic that will also prevent superinfection.
In the case of eczema, the eviction of the allergen is important, and the thrust can be treated with a local corticosteroid.
Special case: breastfeeding
Breastfeeding can lead to nipple irritation in many women. In some cases, it is recommended to space breastfeeding or to seek a better position.
Fight against the contributing factors
The treatment of local factors favoring fungus is preponderant. Local factors that favor fungus usually include:
maceration (avoid wearing synthetic undergarments and tight clothing)
moisture (carefully dry the breasts after washing)
irritation of the skin (treat the irritative symptoms of the skin as they can constitute a factor of development of the mycosis)
The doctor uses prescription antifungals.
They are applied in cream, spray, milk, powder usually twice a day for 3 weeks
In case of resistance to treatment, the doctor may prescribe oral antifungals.
How to avoid the dangers of Eczema of the breast
Many of you must have heard of Paget's disease, which is a serious bone disease, but many of you may not have heard of Eczema of the breasts, so I'm hoping that the ladies there who read this article will notice the content, because they may come into contact with this disease at some point in their lives.
In case of bacterial superinfection or oozing
If the lesions are oozing or superinfected, mild local antiseptics may be used.
Of used antifungal premises whose forms (milk, powder, gel, lotion and so on) do not favor maceration. It is applied twice a day for 3 weeks.
The allergic eczema results from contact with an allergen causing eczema, most often perfumes, creams care.
It is quite rare and is treated with dermocorticoids.
It is often the result of a too meticulous toilet, the application of irritating antiseptics, rubbing, repeated sea baths, cosmetics or accidental contact with a caustic substance like bleach and other products. The irritation is often brilliant red, wrinkled with sometimes vesicles or even wounds and accompanied by a sensation of burning
Irritation is frequent under the breasts in the presence of seborrheic keratoses, small raised brown patches

©2002 Guy Gavriel Kay; (P)2009 Penguin
A powerful story, rich in history and detail, despite not being set in any real historical events.
Yes, the first half an hour is a tad hard to follow, with a tremendous amount of new characters being rapidly introduced in a complex mish mash of time and geography. However, once events start unfolding, the story brims with magic and detail, and you find yourself engrossed. By the way, I don't mean magic in the fantastical sense of the word. I mean that Kay has created an alternate world, different from our own, and yet not so foreign that it doesn't ring true. It is simply a complex, rich place with traditions and beliefs and coincidences that start to weave together in a way that is full of mystery, awe and beauty... as well as a great deal of ugliness and hate.
The singing is wonderful, really filling out the politics, religion and geography of the region that start to feel familiar and tangible half way through the book. The mass of characters fill out, becoming very discernable individuals, clashing and coming together to tell this story. The story seems simple, but is brought together in a complex way.
Wonderful narration. And the singing! Superb.
Ok, I will admit to being a bit of a GGK fanboy. I love his work almost universally. I even have his book of poetry (I treasure it.)
That being said I found Last Light of the Sun hard to get into and the intro to the mosaic books very confusing.
Now that you know were I stand I will address A Song for Arbonne. The beginning of this book is tough. There are a lot of characters with strange names introduced very fast. This is hard to handle in the printed version. I found that with the wonderful character voices used in the audio version actual names became less important than knowing who was who from there voice. Buy the time the story gets rolling you learn the names.
The descriptive writing in this book is breath taking. People and places come to life. If you are a fan of music and the idea that something as everyday as a song can change the world this book is for you.
Often in audio books male readers butcher the female characters. I think this narrator did as good of a job with the females as the males. Multiple characters sing, both girls and boys, and they were all very well done. I really liked the slight but present troubadour style that was applied to the singing.
To sum up: A little hard at the very beginning but well worth the effort.
This is a beautiful, complex novel set in a fictional mediaeval world, probably the same world as his Sarantine series, but in a different area. Like most books by this author, the characters are complex, and the plot weaves richly together towards a stunning ending. It is very well read. Highly recommended.
This is my favorite performance of a book. For me what sets it apart is that the verses are sung instead of spoken. I read the book years ago, and it has always been one of my favorites, but Euan Morton's reading, and singing, of it really brought Arbonne alive for me with it's Court of Love and the exalting of Troubadours... He just brought out the different cultures that Guy Kay had created in a way that made them understandable to me. A great book written by Guy Kay, and read by Euan Morton...
This is a top ranked story. I can't possibly give books a number rank, I've listened to too many. I'll go with percentages. This is a top ten percent book. I've never listened to or read anything by Kay, but I'll be diving into his works after this one.
The shadowing of history. This book mirrors, in a fantasy world, the Albigensian Crusade and the story of the Cathars.
Blaise definitely, but his women were soft and well done. No annoying high pitched voices or impressions that he was trying too hard.
It made me sigh. At the end. Because it was over.
Stunning depth & breadth of story masterfully interpreted & performed by Euan Morton . Likely to start the tale again & enjoy it differently with a second
I listened to this book driving back and forth to work...there were days I drove miles out of my way! I did not realize that I would love this type of story much. The language is beautiful.
The main character and his development are exceptional.
The characters and unexpected plot twists... and some of the expected ones.
He is consistent with his characters and even made the short singing parts worth hearing.
No, you have to pay too close attention to listen for very long periods.
Excellent use of a credit.
Though it has received much less recognition than say, The Lions of Al-Rassan, I actually think A Song for Arbonne might be my favorite of GGK's works. So powerful and moving. Beautifully, BEAUTIFULLY read (and sung!) by Euan Morton. This is not light reading, but you will not want to put it down.
Wonderful book, brilliantly performed. My only problem was the pronunciation of what I assume was meant to be "jongleur". It is not, I repeat, not "joggler". And indeed I would recommend this book to friends, and have done so.
This narrator was generally terrific. One of the few with the ability to render both male and female voices in a believable way.
Yes. Some moments moved me to tears.
As a fan of Guy Gavriel Kay I am used to his style of building up a story through different viewpoints and jumps backwards and forwards in time, so I didn't find the beginning of the novel as confusing as some people might. As the story went on it gripped more and more and in the end I was sad to leave this world and these characters. The narrator has slight problems with voicing the women, but overall I thought he did an excellent job with this complex novel, and the singing was a wonderful bonus, particularly important for this story. An excellent listen.
"Both gripping and haunting"
Genuine storytelling. A powerful and gripping narrative combined with elegant and captivating prose. All excellently performed by a narrator that enhances rather than distracts from the story.
I'm off to listen to another book by GGK!

You can efficiently keep cybercriminals out of your systems with the right measures. Here are three tips for preventing the Domain Name System (DNS) from making life as difficult as possible for attackers.
Table of Contents
Make new threats look old
Start your protection at the DNS level and ensure that your threat intelligence is fast, reliable and always up-to-date. Many successful attacks rely on novelty and the DNS layer, which is often insufficiently protected. Be it a “zero-day” exploit of a system that is not yet known and therefore not yet fixed or a new domain that communicates with malware that has been smuggled in. The more unknown the attack vectors are, the more likely the security systems will not react.
So when choosing a security solution, make sure that risk indicators are updated as often as possible. The use of artificial intelligence in security solutions offers further protection. This reliably recognizes so-called domain-generating algorithms that try to circumvent static blocklists with newly generated domain names.
Full network insight
Get an overview of your network. This is the only way to know with whom devices are communicating and whether data is being exfiltrated or there is contact with dangerous domains. Based on this overview, you can then optimally orchestrate your security measures.
The DNS level offers you insights into various devices and communication requests from a single source. With a complete DDI solution (DNS, DHCP and IPAM), you can quickly identify dangerous devices in the network, contain threats and maintain security even in a growing network.
Think like a hacker
Be on a par with attackers: Thinking like an attacker will help you anticipate the next steps. This allows you to proactively counter the threats and gain an important advantage for the defence. One of the central frameworks for this is MITER ATT&CK, which divides attacks into different tactics achieved with specific techniques. This is how attacks are broken down in detail.
It is, therefore, best to opt for a security solution that works hand in hand with such a framework. In this way, you can efficiently put the theory of the framework into practice and, in a security audit, quickly uncover the areas in which improvements need to be made.

‘11th hour’ withdrawal of Horizon View development plan
Withdrawn from the agenda shortly before the City Council meeting Oct. 27, the Horizon View development proposal is not likely to resurface for at least another
“Economically, it's a tough deal,” said Bill Guman, the contracted land planner for property owner Dr. Kristin Hembre. The problem, he explained, was finding an economical way to develop the five-acre property off Mesa Road in keeping with neighborhood wishes for just three lots. He said his client's actions might also be influenced by what kind of people are on City Council a year from now.
The property in question is at 1635 Mesa Road, across the street from the 7-acre Rawles Open Space that's overseen by the non-profit Palmer Land Trust.
City Council had first heard the matter last April. After being swayed by residents who argued that the homes in that neighborhood (around the Rawles Open Space) are distinctive in terms of their large lots, single-story styles, sizable front setbacks and access (individual driveways rather than a cul-de-sac layout as proposed for Horizon View), councilmembers postponed the proposal. The idea, as explained at the time, was to give Guman time to revise the plan from the proposed 5 lots to 3.
This he did, although going into the Oct. 27 meeting, neighbors were displeased that Guman/Hembre still insisted on two-story structures, according to George Maentz, a Mesa Road resident who has been involved in the neighborhood response to the project. Still, the height difference between the two sides was only 5 feet (the proposal was for 25 feet maximum; the neighborhood wanted 18 to 20). “I suspect we could have gone to City Council and talked through it,” he said.
Guman said Hembre made an “11th hour” decision, shortly before the Oct. 27 council meeting, that the reduction to three lots just wouldn't work for her financially. The anticipation has been that after houses are constructed on the lots, they could be sold for no more than $750,000 to $850,000 each; however, such an amount still might not be enough to offset the costs of site planning and preparatory work, Guman explained. “She ran the numbers and they didn't work,” he said.
He pointed out that original Horizon View plans had called for nine lots, but “after the first neighborhood meeting we realized that would be a tough sell.” So the plan was reworked to five lots, he said. This plan was approved first by planning staff, then Planning Commission, based on findings that it met all the requirements of the zoning code and basic compatibility with the area. Paying a $175 fee each time, the residents appealed first the staff approval, then the commission approval, which allowed the issue to come before council.
Maentz said the neighborhood was not trying to be difficult, but residents feel strongly about the uniqueness of their neighborhood. He thought the issue could have been handled more smoothly if communication had been better. Neighbors had only been asked to meet twice with Guman since the council postponement, he said.

Middle income group housing, Mirpur, Dhaka
AuthorAwal, Sajid I
MetadataShow full item record
Housing in Dhaka, one of the most populous cities in the world has become more of a necessity rather than ambition. Due to socio-economic reasons, Dhaka is currently with scarcity of lands for providing home for its inhabitants. As a result, along with the expansion of the area of Dhaka, Government is looking forward to go for multi-storied apartments as housing solutions within the city. The project proposal is mainly for the middle income group government employee. Considering the density standard, the given proposal is questioned and an intention to create houses was made rather than just housing people. At present, the existing site is under green belt with lots of trees and open spaces flowing from North-West towards East of the given site. In order to keep vista across the site, the housing project is designed with an ideal solution in the given context.

New footage has emerged of the moment police in Adelaide, South Australia pulled over riders from Team Sky and gave them a warning over their behaviour after they were seen breaking traffic laws.
The incident happened on Monday morning in Adelaide's Central Business District while the Team Sky riders were on a training ride, on which they were being followed by several local cyclists, one of whom was filming with a helmet camera.
The video was posted to YouTube by user WalrusRider, who provides a running commentary and has also subtitled the lecture the Team Sky riders were given by police.
Earlier this week, a spokesman for SA Police confirmed to Bicycling Australia that members of Team Sky had been stopped after they "allegedly failed to give way at a pedestrian crossing and went through a red light … that sort of thing.”
He continued: “As part of Operation Safe Cycling 2018 police officers spoke to a number of cyclists on Pulteney Street in the Adelaide CBD this morning after identifying a number of traffic offences committed by the group.
“Police stop cyclist all the time but obviously there will be a further emphasis during the Tour Down Under period. It was just a verbal warning today,” he added.
Team Sky's squad for the race comprises Egan Bernal, Kristoffer Halvorsen, Chris Lawless. Jon Dibben, Owain Doull, Salvatore Puccio and Lukasz Wisniowski.
Born in Scotland, Simon moved to London aged seven and now lives in the Oxfordshire Cotswolds with his miniature schnauzer, Elodie. He fell in love with cycling one Saturday morning in 1994 while living in Italy when Milan-San Remo went past his front door. A daily cycle commuter in London back before riding to work started to boom, he's been news editor at road.cc since 2009. Handily for work, he speaks French and Italian. He doesn't get to ride his Colnago as often as he'd like, and freely admits he's much more adept at cooking than fettling with bikes.

Stuecker received his PhD in 2015 from the SOEST Atmospheric Sciences Department (advised by Dr. Fei-Fei Jin). He returned to SOEST after several years at other institutions. Stuecker was a NOAA Climate & Global Change postdoctoral fellow at the University of Washington. Then he worked as an Assistant Project Leader at the IBS Center for Climate Physics and as a Research Professor at Pusan National University, both in Busan, South Korea.
Stueckerʻs research focuses on various aspects of internal climate variability and forced climate change in the past, present, and future. Stuecker’s recent studies include investigations into the role of trans ocean-basin interactions and their role in the so-called global warming hiatus, as well as into the processes that shape the patterns of polar and tropical climate change. In his research he utilizes observations alongside theory, hierarchies of idealized climate model experiments, high-resolution coupled climate models, and large ensemble simulations.

Spheris was a crystalline world located in the Local Group. The crystalline structure meant that it was sensitive to Protoculture emissions which generated catastrophic harmonic and quantum resonances in the very fabric of the world. Energy blasts impacting the crystals would be redirected and shatter the crystal themselves. Heavier weapons destroyed the sensitive crystal lattices of the planet, thus creating devastating damage to Spheris.
At some unknown point in the past, it was believed that the mysterious being known as Haydon arrived and imbued the native crystals with life thus bringing about the emergence of the Spherisians. It would be one of the many worlds seeded with a mutated strain of the Flower of Life by Zor, leading to its conquest by the Robotech Masters. Tirolian scientists such as Sorcen were stationed on the planet to study the natives and used a number of them as their servants.
It would be conquered by the ravenous Invid and occupied as part of their empire. The native Spherisians would later hide underground, where their elders urged them to remain in their new environment until the Invid departed. However, younger Spherisians led a number of resistance campaigns against the Invid with all of them failing. Baldan and Teal were two inhabitants of the planet taken from the world by Tesla who later joined the Sentinels. After freeing Haydon IV, the Robotech Expeditionary Force along with the Sentinels moved to liberate Spheris.
Teal would later urge her allies not to engage in open conflict with the Invid as the use of Protoculture weapons would have devastated the fragile ecosystem of Spheris thus leading to the death of many Spherisians.
According to Robotech Art 3, Spheris is described as lifeless planet a long time ago with a surface that is covered in crystal and water. Then a meteor slammed into Spheris. This meteor contained viruses that eventually evolved into the Spherians.
The Sentinel comics ended at Book 4 and thus the liberation of Spheris was not portrayed in the Waltrip comics. However, a timeline issue would have shown it being freed from Invid control and the Sentinels as well as REF being outfitted with Spherisian crystal technology.

cialis sale advice times;”>LOS ANGELES — Honorary Consul of The Bahamas to California Cedric A. Scott (left) and Sir Sidney Poitier, pharmacy the iconic internationally acclaimed Bahamian actor, are pictured after having lunch at the Four Seasons Hotel in Beverly Hills. At center is Ms. Anolan Dragitch, presenter/producer for Luxe World-TV.
LOS ANGELES, August 3, 2015 — Honorary Consul of The Bahamas to California Cedric A. Scott welcomed The Bahamas’ Special Olympics athletes, their coaches, chaperones and area Bahamian expatriates to an afternoon reception at The Annenberg House on the campus of the University of Southern California on Monday, July 17.
In the warm early Los Angeles evening, with light refreshments and drinks, local Bahamians came and met with the Olympians to show their encouragement, support and pride. A relaxed and enjoyable time was had by all.
In welcoming the Olympians, Honorary Consul Scott stated, “It gives me great pride to welcome our special Bahamian athletes to Los Angeles. I know how hard you have worked to get to this level of competition, I congratulate and applaud you. Your coaches, led by Dr. Keir Miller, support staff and chaperones also must be commended for their efforts to train, support and help these athletes to represent The Bahamas with pride. Remember that for us, you are all gold medalists. We wish you every success and celebrate with you all of your efforts.”
On the first day of competition, the Bahamian swimmers were off to a good start. Medals were won by several of the athletes in swimming. Cornel McClain won both gold and silver medals and Lavontae Clark won a silver. Two other swimmers, Serena Newton and Deron Forbes, won silver and bronze medals respectively.
In the following days, The Bahamian Olympians continued their success, with Lavontae Clark winning a silver medal in Aquatics 100M Freestyle; Cornel McClain, a silver medal, Aquatics 100M Freestyle; Royal Hamilton, a silver medal, Bocce (Singles); Serena Newton, silver medal, Aquatics 25M Breaststroke; Deangelo Bullard, Tara Culmer, Daniel Johnson and Lesley Taylor, bronz medal in Bowling (Unified Team); Deron Forbes, bronz medal, Aquatics 25M Breaststroke.
In track and field on Thursday, July 30, Danier Rolle struck gold in the standing long jump (male); Krystal Clarke got silver in the standing long jump (female); Mario Nottage secured a bronze medal in the men’s 800m; Brenville Dorsett received a 5th place finish in the 800m. In bocce singles, Colette Grant won the gold medal in her division and Tammicka Laing won the silver medal in her division.
On Friday, July 31, it seems like GOLD was the preferred colour of the day for Team Bahamas. Deangelo Bullard won his nail-biting singles division with a 521 pinfall to snatch the Gold medal from Singapore by a mere 2 pin margin; Danier Rolle also picked up a gold medal in the softball throw, to go along with his silver medal, which he earned a couple hours earlier in the 100m walk; and Krystal Clarke also won gold in the 100m walk for females. Other results for the day included a 4th place finish for Zekuumba Major in his tennis singles and a 6th place finish for Amal Johnson in the 100m.
The Special Olympics World Summer Games was held in Los Angeles from July 23 to August 2, with an official opening on July 25. It featured competitions in aquatics, gymnastics, track and field, basketball, football (soccer) and many other summer sports involving 6,500 athletes with intellectual disabilities from around the world.

A couple comes across a host who does not seem all there in this film from the director of Z.
Claire and Teddy are a couple who at one point, hit it big with their viral channel “Superhost”, in which they would visit vacation homes and meet the houses’ owners and share their experiences. However, after an incident with one host they didn’t agree with as well as a clickbait video, their subscriber count begin to dwindle down. A chance to get a place they had been wanting to visit has finally come so they head to the mountains.
After a mishap with the front door code, the pair meet Rebecca, the home’s owner. She gives off a bit of a vibe at first, but she means well. However, on their first night, Teddy finds a mysterious figure in the shadows and both he and Claire lose a bit of sleep. They find themselves confronted by the owner who they gave a bad review to, but they are saved by Rebecca. Claire and Teddy soon realize that Rebecca is slowly beginning to show signs that she may not be who she said she is and once they learn the truth, must find a way to escape before it’s too late.
Brandon Christensen is definitely a storyteller. His film Z offered us a mother’s slow descent into madness when she comes to grips with her son’s new imaginary friend. This latest offering takes a look at social media and viral videos and how far one, or in this case, two, are willing to go for subscribers. While in reality, some do things in a more positive light to gain followers, the case with our leads Claire and Teddy are bound to bring dangerous consequences.
Sara Canning and Osric Chau are excellent as Claire and Teddy, the couple who are looking to get their channel back up in subscribers. When it comes to their ideas, they clearly are polar opposites. Teddy has something special planned in a more positive light where Claire finds the formula humdrum and decides that chaos and drama could be a good idea. This leads to a sometimes internal conflict between the two at times, especially when Teddy’s idea is mistaken for not being real in Claire’s eyes.
The film’s break out is Gracie Gillam as Rebecca, the titular “superhost”. The best way to describe this character is a combination of early 1990’s Sherilyn Fenn and The Craft’s Fairuza Balk. Gillam conveys a duality of nice and complete psychopath. She seems nice and warming at first but gives off a creepy vibe but by the third act, we see her true colors, and this brings a major twist from psychological thriller to slasher film. The iconic Barbara Crampton makes the most of her screen time as Vera, the host who had issues with Teddy and Claire and this leads to some amazing chemistry between she and Gillam. The final act really brings in some shocking twists and reveals that in a way are jaw-dropping.
Superhost is an excellent film that melds psychological thriller and slasher film. Sara Canning and Osric Chau are great together in this and Barbara Crampton makes the most of her screen time. However, it is Gracie Gillam’s rousing performance that really makes the film. This is a fun and crazy film for horror fans.
WFG RATING: A
Shudder presents a Superchill production in association with First Look Pictures. Director: Brandon Christensen. Producers: Brandon David Harder, Osric Chau, and Brandon Christensen. Writer: Brandon Christensen. Cinematography: Clayton Moore. Editing: Brandon Christensen.
Cast: Sara Canning, Osric Chau, Gracie Gillam, Barbara Crampton.
The film is now available on Shudder. The film will be released On Demand, Digital, DVD, and Blu-Ray on February 1.

ATV’s are inherently bad-ass by nature, but Polaris just upped the ante with the new Polaris Sportsman WV850 H.O. ATV ($15,000). Inspired by the MV850 military vehicle, the Sportsman WV850′s most striking feature are the non-pneumatic TerrainArmor tires it’s sitting on – tires Polaris says are strong enough to survive a hit from a .50 caliber round and still travel up to 350 miles. In addition to the end of flat tires as you know them, they’re also said to improve the WV850′s center of gravity and cornering capabilities. Other bad-ass qualities you’ll find in the Polaris: a single-speed transmission, steel exoskeleton, 1,500 lb towing capacity, 3,500 lb winch and an 11.75 gallon fuel tank. The only thing missing is a gargantuan set of balls, which is exactly what you’ll need if you want to push the Sportsman WV850 H.O. to its limits.

In early February, I hopped on a plane, flew to Colorado and placed a bet on the Super Bowl on my smartphone at the airport. Why Colorado? Because sports betting is illegal in Texas.
I enjoy watching my favorite teams play, and I have placed millions in legal sports bets in other states. While my Super Bowl bet was successful, many of my wagers have not been so successful, and those bets were taxed to benefit the people living in those states.

At the end of August, six years after their first single launched, dynamic duo ARTBAT will release on their brand new label Upperground. The imprint’s debut track will be called ‘Flame’ and is available to listen to from August 27th (see link below). The duo from Ukraine are known for their progressive style, laced with emotion and hypnotic melodies. Accessible to the masses, yet they continue to surprise us with innovative sounds.
The pair are currently enjoying huge international success, having just completed a US tour, and are on their way to a stint in South American along with festivals across the world. In the chaos of touring, some would say releasing music and starting a label would be a step too far, but after six years, Artur & Batish are ready to help artists get to the Upperground of the music scene.
ARTBAT on UPPERGROUND, “during the pandemic, we had enough time to work on new music and had our heads deep in the studio working on new ideas. Now we feel like we have the right tracks to be presented on our own label. Especially after a worldwide lockdown, we wanted to kick off with something fresh and new, filled with life, colour, spiritual uplift and emotion. Now feels like the exact right time to do so.”
The ethos of the label is very clear; “neither underground nor commercial, but simply a mark of unique, high-quality electronic music known as the ARTBAT sound and accessible to everyone around the world”. The duo are in a unique position, they make music which is widely considered underground, but when you’re spinning in front of a crowd of 10,000+ can you really be classed as underground? So in line with their own new music, ARTBAT will carefully curate a roster of talented new artists and give them a platform to shine around the world.
‘Flame’ will be a combination of the ARTBAT sound with a new take on trance, something we haven’t seen from the pair yet. Featuring tender vocals, elegant synths and moody drums, this track is definitely going to make you feel some kind of way. What a way to kickstart the new label!

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: With the sequencing of several Streptococcus pyogenes (group A Streptococcus) genomes have come major advances in understanding the pathogenesis of group A Streptococcus-associated diseases. This review focuses on group A Streptococcus skin infections and summarizes data published in the English language medical literature in 2004 and 2005. RECENT FINDINGS: Group A Streptococcus shows enormous and evolving molecular diversity driven by horizontal transmission between group A Streptococcus strains and between group A Streptococcus and other streptococci. Acquisition of prophages accounts for much of the diversity, conferring both virulence through phage-associated virulence factors and increased bacterial survival against host defences. Studies of group A Streptococcus isolates outside the US also question the generalizability of classic group A Streptococcus M serotype associations with specific disease entities such as acute rheumatic fever and necrotizing fasciitis. The distinction between throat and skin group A Streptococcus has become blurred. Although there have been few advances in treatment of group A Streptococcus skin infections, developments towards group A Streptococcus vaccines are promising. SUMMARY: The diversity of group A Streptococcus remains a challenge for vaccine development. As acute rheumatic fever and streptococcal pyoderma occur predominantly in disadvantaged populations, international funding support will be necessary for any group A Streptococcus vaccine to have a sustained impact on the global burden of disease. � 2006 Lippincott Williams & Wilkins.

Ed's brother Tom, sister-in-law, Tina, and niece, Melissa arrived in Maryland yesterday afternoon. It was fun to show them around our new house. They couldn't have picked a better day to come. The weather was so nice we even had dinner on the deck! Melissa threw them a 140th birthday party a month ago--as they both turned 70 this year. Someone told Tina she only looked 50, so Tom must be 90! We think they both look great despite their age!
We're looking forward to showing them around Baltimore and DC in the next few days. Let's hope the weather continues to cooperate!

Penny Lancaster put on a leggy display as hit the red carpet ahead of ABBA’s first performance of their 2021 album, Voyage.
Penny, 51, who’s married to Rod Stewart, donned a short leopard print dress for the occasion, paired with a black skinny scarf, belt, and thigh-high heeled boots.
The mum-of-two wore her stunning blonde tresses in a curly blow dry, and donned a pair of gold hoop earring to complete the look.
Penny joined the likes of Kiera Kinghtly, Great British Bake Off's Matt Lucas, Kylie Minogue and ABBA themselves in hitting the red carpet for the star-studded affair.

Benny Andersson, 75, Agnetha Fältskog, 72, Anni-Frid Lyngstad, 76, and Björn Ulvaeus, 77, pulled out all the stops for the event, where they prepared themselves to watch their digital avatars take to the stage.
Penny’s night on the town comes after the Loose Women star opened up about her turbulent mood swings as a result of her menopause.
“I remember Rod asking me what on earth was wrong, but the truth was that I really didn't have a clue why I was experiencing such violent and upsetting mood swings, which meant some days I would feel completely devoid of feeling, while on other days I would be hyper,” she told Mail Online.
“I thought I was losing my mind and it was only months later, while appearing as a panellist on Loose Women, that my colleagues put me straight. 'Penny, you're perimenopausal,' they told me. 'It's all down to your hormones.'
“I could hardly believe it, especially as I'd described my symptoms to my doctor and he had promptly put me on anti-depressants.”
Penny was 49 at the time, and released she was at the age when menopause usually begins.
Following the comments from her fellow panellists, Penny contacted a menopause specialist and was promptly put on HRT to help her with her symptoms.
Things haven’t always been so smooth sailing with her fellow Loose Women stars however, after Janet Street-Porter made a savage dig at her last summer.
The women were engaged in a fiery debate about England’s “Freedom Day”, which was due to go ahead on July 19 2021 as the country “reopened” after months of Covid restrictions, when Denise Welch, 63, ranted about “double standards” as she was unable to visit her father, who had been in hospital for weeks, while the Wimbledon finals went ahead as usual.
Taking a swipe, Janet interrupted Denise and exclaimed: “Darling, you’re not Penny Lancaster, so I’d like to get a word in!”

Nutritional Medicine Consultations
What is Nutritional Medicine?
Nutritional medicine is a natural approach to healing.
It is based on the principle that nutrients, including essential micro-nutrients, are required for the proper functioning of all biochemical processes that our bodies require.

Prepare yourselves to see Oprah in a way you’ve never seen her before. The 58 year old talk show legend has posted a picture from the set of her new film, The Butler, on Instagram. The snap shows Oprah seductively smoking a cigarette while her co-star, Terrence Howard, places his hand on her thigh.
The film is based on the story of Eugene Allen, a black man who served as the White House butler for 34 years. It’ll be out in 2013. (We expect to attend the premiere, given that she came to visit the Mamamia offices and all – you can see what went down that day HERE.)
Americon Idol judges Nicki Minaj and Mariah Carey have brought the Idol auditions in North Carolina to a halt. Why, you ask? Because they’re ah… not the best of buddies.
A leaked clip from filming shows the two judges verbally abusing each other, with Minaj claiming that Carey won’t stop tooting her own horn, and Carey complaining about Minaj’s immature attitude.
In case you can’t see the video, Minaj says: “I don’t feel inadequate. You’re the insecure one sitting up there running down her resume every five minutes.” Carey hits back by asking: “Do I have a three year old sitting around me?” Burn.
We just feel sorry for our darling Keith Urban, who will be sitting on the judging panel between the pair when the series airs in Janurary 2013. Bring a stack hat Keith.
Watch the clip below:
PS. If you’re anything like us, you can’t stop looking at Nicki Minaj’s wardrobe choices. Flick through a whole gallery of her craziest looks below:
She’s quite possibly the most talked-about women of the year for her thoughts on childbirth, motherhood and modelling but what we’re most interested in is Miranda Kerr’s wardrobe. Her actual wardrobe: not the stuff she wears on the runway. Turns out, she has a few tricks to making jeans and a top look like a lot more than just a pair of jeans… and a top. Here’s what we’ve learnt about fashion, courtesy of Miranda:
1. A printed shirt goes a long way to dressing up skinny jeans. Especially when it’s buttoned-up.
2. Ditto pointed heels.
3. A big, black bag goes with just about everything and makes a printed shirt look a little bit less fussy.
4. Holding a phone in your hand while power walking makes you look important. And busy. (Can you be both).
Kanye West was also at the event – but without the guyliner. What do you think of guyliner? Would you get your guy to try it?


A decade of enormous economic growth has come to an end in North America, while China sees the abrupt conclusion of almost half a century of accelerated economic progress.
Deadly pandemics without known vaccines, and natural events with catastrophic impacts; desertification, mass migration and rising sea levels as a result of climate change. These global challenges have been written into our existence, as well as that of generations to come. Their arrival is certain; what we don’t know is the extent of their gravity or when they’ll hit. Defending against them demands a certain degree of international cooperation that is currently nonexistent. We have a universal responsibility for mankind, the Dalai Lama reminds us.
So, what are the U.S. and China playing at? A decade of enormous economic growth has come to an end in North America, while China sees the abrupt conclusion of almost half a century of accelerated economic progress. China has managed to avoid what it feared would be its Chernobyl, keeping the pandemic down to incredible levels relative to its 1.4 billion population, most likely sweeping some contagion numbers and death tolls under the rug. Its worldwide campaign of propaganda, misinformation and aggressive diplomacy is an attempt to make us believe that its response to COVID-19 has been the best. A few years ago, China’s president, Xi Jinping, taking advantage of President Donald Trump’s obstinate denial, turned China — the country with the highest carbon emissions in the world — into a champion in the fight against climate change. China asserts itself as a soft power that should be respected. It is committed, Beijing assures us, to building a community with a shared future for humanity. It sounds good, and the most populated country on earth would once again become the Middle Kingdom, with a universal radius of action.
The pandemic is Trump’s Vietnam, with more than 66,000 deaths compared to the 58,200 deaths in the United States’ last great war. His disastrous performance in the fight against the pandemic is enough to make us believe that Trump has lost it. First, he denied it, and later, in an act of incredible stupidity, he recommended that those infected with COVID-19 inject themselves with household disinfectant. The red light has come on in the White House. The elections on Nov. 3 will be held with the economy underwater, drowning Trump’s best electoral trump card. The president, bewildered, substitutes for it by fighting with China for having not contained the virus, which was supposedly created in a Wuhan laboratory. Trump wants to make it pay financially, like the Allies and Nazi Germany. The firm stance against Beijing is supported by U.S. citizens. But enough with the false propaganda wars, disinformation or outright lies. This could be the time for the two superpowers to shine a light on global issues.
The withdrawal of the U.S. creates a vacuum. China, unsure whether to assume global responsibility, can’t quite fill it yet, but it’s determined to consolidate its rise. Henry Kissinger, the American who best understood China, has already warned us that the two countries are too big for one to dominate the other. Ask yourselves: Where would conflict get us?

In a bold step into the digital future, CBC Books has partnered with McArthur & Company to create a multi-faceted digital e-book of Kate Pullinger's award-winning novel, The Mistress of Nothing
The e-book takes advantage of the many exciting technical possibilities in digital publishing. It includes CBC's abridged audio reading of the novel, read in 25 parts by actress Barbara Barnes. The e-book also includes exclusive features such as a slide show of photographs, prints and paintings from the the novel's historical setting (1860s Egypt), a book club reading guide, six exclusive videos of the author discussing the process of researching and writing the book, further reading suggestions and a reading of the final chapter by Kate Pullinger herself.
The idea for the partnership was born out of CBC Radio's Between the Covers
, a book-reading program featuring novels and short stories read in 15-minute instalments. The Mistress of Nothing
won the Governor General's Award for fiction in 2009. CBC bought the audio rights in early 2010. The enhanced e-book will be available from the iBookstore and Amazon's Kindle store. CBC is working to partner on other books and with other publishers to make its readings available in digital editions.

Avoiding Foodborne Illnesses During the SummerBy Child Safety Specialist Aug 9, 2010 | 10:55:00 amPosted in: Family, Personal Safety
This July was one of the hottest months in recorded history and August is gearing up to be just as much of a scorcher. One of the things I love about summer is how laid back we are when it comes to dinner plans. Whether it’s picnicking at the beach, grilling in the backyard or just grabbing something at the ballpark it’s spur of the moment.
No matter what’s on the menu however, it’s important to be sure that your food doesn’t become a breeding ground for bacteria or the cause of a major food borne illness. After all, nothing will spoil a perfect summer night faster than a bad case of food poisoning!
Here are some tips to keep in mind:
Keep it cool -- Hot weather is the perfect breeding ground for foodborne bacteria, which grows rapidly in moist air when the temperature is between 90 ° and 110° F. Be sure foods such as raw or cooked meats, luncheon meats and mayonnaise-based foods are stored in a cooler with several inches of ice. If the ice melts it’s important to replenish as soon as possible.
Well Done or Rare? When grilling outside or away from home, be sure to take a meat thermometer along to be sure that the meat is cooked completely. Especially when grilling, food can appear completely cooked on the outside but not be heated to the proper internal temperature.
Wrap it up! Keep raw meat well wrapped and be sure that if any juice drips it’s cleaned up immediately with an anti-bacterial wipe. If juices come into contact with already prepared food, don’t eat them. Whatever utensils or cutting boards are used for raw meat should immediately be wrapped up and stored away.
Wash up – One of the largest causes of foodborne illnesses is improper hand washing. Be sure to pack hand sanitizer gel and anti-bacterial wipes for washing up. If you’re camping or grilling away from home, bring a jug of water and some dish soap to wash off utensils and plates.

It’s a complaint that can be heard virtually every day on campus. There is no place to park here.
Well that’s not exactly true. It’s difficult to find a parking spot if you are not willing to walk from outlying areas like north of the library, the HPER and Frost Arena. But Michael Reger, Vice President of Administration, says that’s all a part of the plan.
Four years ago, South Dakota State University had a master plan drafted to illustrate what the layout of the campus will ideally be in 50 years.
Reger said the main reason for this change is because the increasing number of people, and cars, coming onto campus every day is becoming dangerous.
“Where is the worst possible place to be walking on campus at noon? Right here by the heating plant,” he said, refering to Rotunda Lane, which runs through the center of campus.
“Everybody in the world has to drive on that street, and almost every student has to cross that street. We’ve been exceptionally lucky we’ve had very few injuries on campus, but as the campus grows and more students have vehicles, we needed to start planning 50 years out and decide where we want to be,” Reger said.
Small changes have already been made, like the additions paved parking lots by the Performing Arts Center and between the HPER Center and Frost Arena.
When completed, extreme changes on campus will include the elimination of many popular internal parking lots, like the lot north of NFA, the lots directly north and west of Yeager Hall.
Reger said that although no new buildings have been planned yet, the vacant areas where the lots used to be could then be future building sites.
A new road to loop around campus will connect with Medary Avenue and expand on and take the place of North Campus Drive.
Because this main access road will be further out around campus and connect to all the outlying student parking, a shuttle bus will pick students up at designated times and drop them off at spesific points near the library, the Union, the Rotunda and the HPER with enough time to get students to classes.
Reger said he would like to see the shuttle system work with the public transportation system the city of Brookings has.
“I think when we move toward a shuttle bus system, it would make perfect sense to coordinate that with what the city already has in the Brookings Area transportation system now. It doesn’t make any sense to have two separate systems not work with each other. We need to figure out how we can connect with their regular routes,” he said.
Although current students probably won’t be here to see the final product of the campus transition, Reger said student should not expect any new parking spaces within campus.
“I don’t think we want to pave the entire center of campus so people can park right next to a building, that just doesn’t make sense,” Reger added.
“And we’re going to run out of space very quickly unless we want to start paving over places like the Campus Green and Rotunda Green. I don’t think that’s the direction that any of us want the campus to go, to become just one big asphalt lot.”

The show was at the Sebright Arms, which seems to be a pretty nice pub, quite apart from the cool musicians in the basement.
I met up with friends Mike and Sue, and some lovely friends of theirs.
She Makes War opened the gig - I hadn't heard of her, but I enjoyed her music. (and it turns out she is based in Bristol, so I may be able to see other gigs in the future.
Who played lots of songs from her new album, The Sky Is Calling, (which you should all buy, if you haven't already done so). I've been listening to the album a lot since it came out, and thoroughly enjoyed hearing it live.
What made it even more fun was that Kim was obviously enjoying herself so much. In addition to the music, she told us about bonding with Laura (SheMakesWar) over cheese, and about having a place on Mars names after her.
And at the end of the gig we all got to meet and chat with her, and get lovely posters.
And it was a relatively early end to the gig, so we had time to had about and chat and drink after the gig, too.
Lots of fun.

Story by Andra Brichacek
Edwin L. Artzt Dean Juan-Carlos Molleda has been at the UO School of Journalism and Communication only since July, but he’s already set the wheels in motion on some big changes at the school, including starting a task force to build a new Experience Hub in Allen Hall, hiring Professor Pat Curtin as the new associate dean for undergraduate affairs, and launching a nationwide networking tour to meet SOJC alumni and expand the school’s donor base.
This type of accelerated trajectory is not unusual for Molleda. Before he came to the SOJC, the new dean spent 16 years advancing the Public Relations department at the University of Florida’s College of Journalism and Communications. Now that school is recognizing his extensive contributions by granting him emeritus status.
“I never thought I would be a professor or a dean,” said Molleda, who worked for 10 years as a PR professional in his native Venezuela before moving to the United States to pursue a master’s degree and Ph.D. “But everything that happened to me at the University of Florida has completely changed my path in life and my profession. I will have this connection to the University of Florida forever. They were very good to me, and I was good to my institution. Because of that, I could take advantage of the opportunity to be dean here at the UO SOJC.”
Molleda joined the UF faculty as an assistant professor in 2000. In addition to teaching public relations courses, he served four years as chair of the PR department. During that time, he launched an online undergraduate program, an online master’s program in global strategic communication, and another online master’s that made university history as the first program offered in Spanish. He also introduced new courses to the curriculum, led the Public Relations Society of America certification process and raised the stature of his department’s Advisory Council.
“Dr. Molleda’s contributions during his 16-year tenure at UF were manifold,” said Diana McFarlin, dean of UF’s College of Journalism and Communications. “He was highly published and established an international record of distinction. He is the consummate scholar and leader, who was both respected and beloved by his UF colleagues.”
According to Molleda, the feeling is mutual.
“In academia, we are family,” he said. “This is a small world, and people know each other. And part of the unique experience we have in these institutions is the opportunity to make a difference in each other’s lives and in the lives of students. Now I feel I have even more responsibility to continue doing my job the best I can — to live up to my emeritus status, but also to help others continue developing themselves.”

LNG technology for German logistics operation
German car manufacturer BMW Group has completed a pilot project in collaboration with IVECO to test LNG-powered trucks for its logistics operations using an IVECO Stralis NP vehicle designed for long-haul transport.
The Stralis NP is the first natural gas truck designed specifically for long-haul transport. It features the latest-generation automated transmission and has already been crowned Low Carbon Truck of the Year in the UK.
Under test conditions the IVECO Stralis NP 400 truck powered by LNG completed the 530 km round trip between Steyr and Regensburg with one tank. This compares with the performance of an electric drive truck that would require recharging several times.
Dr. Thomas Irrenhauser of BMW sees LNG as a “reasonable, sustainable alternative to conventional diesel” in the long term. In direct comparison, emissions of nitrogen oxide are up to 60 percent lower, and noise levels during operation are up to 50 percent lower. Particulate matter emissions are negligible.
Pierre Lahutte, IVECO Brand President commented: “We are seeing a fast growing number of international manufacturers and logistics operators opting for LNG for their transport requirements. Many are choosing IVECO to convert their fleets to LNG, in view of the experience we have developed over the last 20 years.”

We have used Amtrol tanks exclusively for over 26 years. When I first started in the industry, I quickly noticed that the longest lasting tanks by far that we replaced on our service calls were the Amtrol tanks. This has continued to be the case and is the reason we will continue to use them.

As some of you know I have been chasing a no spark problem on a 91 fourtrax. I have not done much the last several days as I am stacked up getting ready for winter. I DID want to post to give kudos to Helmut for suggesting that I had my meter on the wrong range while testing the pulse coil, Good Call. For those of you out there that may be making the same mistake as I did here is what was going on. On my normal meter a micronta (Radio Shack) I think. I thought that if the meter was set on 1 ohm range o is o ohms (shorted) and 100% range is 1 ohm same for 10, 100, 1000 ohm ranges. Not true, on the 10 ohms range reading 38 is 380 ohms, on the 100 range 3.8 is 380 ohms. Maybe this will help someone else with the same misunderstanding. As far as removing the side cover to replace the pulse coil the reason that the side cover was stuck at the shift lever was because for some reason the dowell pin aft and below the shift lever was glued pretty well with some varnish looking stuff. I freed it with 4 or 5 good solid wacks with a block of wood and a rubber mallet directed to the hammer lug on the lower back of the case. I ordered parts and when they arrive will give a full report or ask for more help. Going for now. WS.
