Amanda Bennett's Baseball Unit Study is a lot of fun! A four-week study on CD-Rom, it guides your students in learning all about the game, its history, its players, and much more. With lessons for lower (elementary) and upper (junior and senior high), it is perfect for multi-level teaching.
Each day, the study provides a baseball-related quote to learn or for copywork, as well as spelling/vocabulary words. I love the research component to this study as we daily look for information to learn about a specific player and team. The method of searching for answers on the carefully screened websites is a great tool to learn research skills. Each week the topics are reviewed, and students write about their favorite baseball findings or experiences. Bennett suggests that students make a journal to record all that they are learning. She also includes a weekly list of internet sites for further study. As a matter of fact, the entire study is internet-linked throughout, for easy research, with great suggestions on each topic.
At the end, two quizzes are provided if you wish to use them, along with internet search tips, a suggested book list, and lots of fun family project ideas. The Baseball Unit Study is an all-around great way to encourage research, have fun, and really learn a lot about the game! I think it would make a perfect "extra" for any teaching method. Try it!

Losing weight is not a very easy task to do, even more with health it seems to be three times more difficult, it is not good that you fancy diets like the air or light diet it is impossible for us to replace solid food with light or imagination, our food is something very serious deserves attention, when we don’t eat we get weak we run the risk of passing out from hunger on the other hand when we eat more than necessary we get fat or obese with auto cholesterol and diabetes, we cannot treat our food as if it was not important, we need find balance.
If you decided to lose weight, this is your chance to conquer the body that you always dreamed of. The diet described above is simple to do and has a wonderful and fast result, what is most important is the ability to lose weight faster without suffering.
Seafood Benefits for Weight Loss

They help to rebuild worn-out muscles so if you are looking to get rid of sagging abdomen they are a great option. Some of the above fruits are always on promotions. They provide the body with enzymes, antibodies and regulate hormones.
How to Consume Seafood Benefits for Weight Loss
If you want to prepare at home, know that, preferably, you should buy fresh to prepare for the day. If this is not possible, use the frozen version as a second option. Remember that seafood must be properly cleaned.
Each of them has a certain cooking time to get to their right point. The cooking time of shrimp is different from squid, which is different from octopus, which is different from scallop, which is different from mussels, and so on. Therefore, the ideal is to prepare each seafood separately, in case you have no experience. If you are already familiar with the times, you can prepare everything together, adding each fruit at the right time. And to prepare a light seafood salad, it’s no different.
The ideal is to prepare and consume on the spot, because after a while, the seafood becomes rubbery. The combination of spices and ingredients must also be thought out intelligently. Fruits can combine very well and be an interesting option if you want to serve a tropical salad.
The important thing is to know that every meal can be eaten in a healthy way and without fat. The use of oils for frying is something that we must avoid at all times. We will use water to combine the spices with the steam and the heat of an oven. With these 3 techniques we will eat better and your body will thank you later.
Healthy eating is based on homemade preparations, made from ingredients of nature. Make your own tomato sauce, stuff the seafood with fresh spices fried in water, cook the steamed shrimp and much more can be done and the main thing is that it is very tasty!

Could Time Magazine be in so much trouble they’re willing to promote a GOP superstar on its cover just to move a few copies? A University of Miami professor thinks so.
In a story about Time’s decision to declare Rubio “The Republican Savor,” CBS Miami asked Professor Joseph Uscinski his thoughts. “I think Time magazine is trying to sell copies,” was his reply.
Man alive, poor Time. History shows most mainstream media outlets would prefer bankruptcy or extinction before doing anything that resembles objective journalism.
Guess I’ve seen everything now.

It can be so disappointing when your child has gotten relief from OCD, only to find it rear its ugly head again. It can be even more disappointing if you had the mentality that you can “cure” OCD. OCD is like Diabetes or Asthma. It is something that needs to be watched and managed throughout their life. But there is good news! The more they build those skills at recognizing and identifying OCD, the better they’ll be able to handle the bumps that come their way. Their skills are not lost. All that they worked on is not lost. Their OCD muscles to handle discomfort and deal with OCD head-on are still inside of them. Don’t let OCD convince them that they are starting from square one. They aren’t. You’ve got this. They’ve got this. In this week’s Youtube video for kids and teens I remind them that even with setbacks their skills are still there; their strength is still there.

The $195 million hall of fame includes a $31 million budget for exhibits and other displays in the publicly funded building.
There was bike riding, push-ups and shopping for produce on Tuesday’s Oprah as billionaire David Murdock shared his tricks for living to 125 (he hopes) with the talk-show queen.
The segment, part of a show focused on extreme life extension, also highlighted the 85-year-old’s vision for the $1.8 billion N.C. Research Campus in Kannapolis.
Murdock is the financier behind the 350-acre life sciences hub, a private-public partnership focused on health and nutrition.
He hopes to one day cure cancer. The disease claimed his wife in 1985.
“There’s a lot of hope among people who watched and understand that this technology and great minds here can hopefully do things that will change the world,” says Lynne Scott Safrit, president of campus developer Castle & Cooke North Carolina.
She hopes the campus, also showcased by Martha Stewart, receives further national exposure to highlight its research.
The Oprah segment featured the campus’ high-tech equipment and researcher Dr. Steve Zeisel, director of the UNC Nutrition Research Institute. Zeisel spoke about possibility that the next generation of superfoods may be created in Kannapolis as researchers work to get a better understanding of metabolism, the aging process and nutrition’s role.

With just 13 team members, Scotland County's squad was one of the smallest amongst the 17-team field at the Missouri Class 2 District 4 track meet held at Brookfield on May 7th. That didn't stop SCR-I from bringing home the second place trophy as the Tigers garnered 72 points, second only to Centralia's 94.5.

A group of grandfathers and grandsons are taking to the stage to reveal their real-life relationships in a special theatre performance.
Old Boy is a show about the bond between grandfathers and grandsons and the legacies passed down through generations of the family.
It will be performed at Dundee Rep by three distinct duos.
One-year-old Finn McDonald-Manzi and his grandfather Martin Manzi, nine-year-old Harris Lindsay and his step-grandfather David Dunlop and 21-year-old Max Agnew and his grandfather Malcolm Gracie.
Associate Director Jess Thorpe said: “Old Boy is a show about grandads and grandsons and the very special bond that happens between men and boys and families.
“It involves a cast of people who don’t usually perform on stage and it features their real life relationships and the things that are important to them.”
Each of the three pairs tells a story personal to them, the influence of their grandfathers and how they are now sharing that experience with their own grandchildren.
The production has allowed grandfather Martin the opportunity to reflect on the stories of his own grandfathers he never knew, and spend valuable time with Finn.
But Martin perhaps has the most challenging role; having to entertain the one year old while performing in front of an audience.
Martin said: “It has been a challenge to do what you’re doing on stage but to try to keep him occupied as well, trying to multi-task is going to be the difficult bit. I’m not very good at multi-tasking and having to do that is very difficult.”
Most are treading the boards for the first time.
David Dunlop has taken a step out of his comfort zone to perform with his step grandson Harris.
David said: “The last time I was on stage was in sixth year at Blairgowrie High School when I played Bill Sykes in the school production of Oliver.
“That was a very, very long time ago but it’s been great, we’ve had a good laugh.”
It has been a chance for Harris to learn a lot about David’s relationship with his grandfather.
“He had a thing called the magic drawer when he was little,” said Harris.
“There used to be sweeties in it whenever he would go to his granny and grandad’s and I’ve got this tidying bit that I’ve got to do. It’s the most tidying I’ve done in my life.”
Old Boy has been staged just a handful of times in locations from Glasgow to Washington.
Each time the stories and songs are different, reflecting the place and the experiences of the people performing.
Tashi Gore, Old Boy Associate Director said: “The Dundee version, there is a lot of history in it. Men and boys talking about their relationship to the city and also the industry in the city and how the stories of that are passed down from generation to generation.
“Malcolm who is the grandfather in the third duet talks about his father and his grandfather and their relationship to shipbuilding and the jobs that they had and the relationship with the city to different parts of the world as well which is really interesting.”
Malcolm’s grandson Max Agnew, who hopes to carve out an acting career, said: “You forget these things that happened when you were two or three because you’re not going to remember them but he does and vice versa.
“There’s stuff that I remember about when I was little, maybe being at school and him picking me up and it’s just nice to spend a lot of time reminiscing together.”
Old Boy opens at Dundee Rep on Thursday March 30 and runs until Saturday April 1.

Trish - Oath & Stone Designs
Trish is the graphic designer behind Oath & Stone - Canberra's newest design studio offering bespoke creations for challenger brands and small businesses. With over 15 years spent in the industry, Trish likes designing in a way that speaks to what people are really thinking, and she works hard to focus on what makes each of her clients unique. Not the lame kind of unique... the actual special unique that makes a piano player in a cowboy bar stop playing.
What advice would you give to your 15 year old self?
18 years from now, Hanson is going to come to Canberra, and you're going to be in that audience. Trust me, it all works out ok.
What makes you proud to be a woman?
I think I would be just as proud to be a man, or a lion, or a kitchen sponge if my destiny had been decided another way, because I was fortunate to be born into a family that told me that I was capable of achieving anything. In this way, I'm inspired and feel proud to stand beside women who are closely aligned to their own values, and refuse to be a victim of their situation. I refuse to believe that bringing intuition, emotion and compassion to our businesses makes us weak or vulnerable, and I'm proud to cheer on my fellow lady when she proves it's possible.
What has been the biggest challenge in your career so far?
Backing myself every day in my business. But, it's rewarding to know that all the gold star moments that I check off, are a direct result of my determination and willingness to design a life that I want for myself and my family. My children will be surrounded by role models who dared to be different. It's really hard, but the good kind of hard.
What did you want to be when you grew up?
I wanted to be a teacher, or a chef. My Grandad told me "chef's work terrible hours", and then I found out that teaching was a very long three year course, so adjusted my goals. Flash forward 10 years, and I'm doing a four year Graphic Design degree (because I determined there was no money in being a fine artist and a commercially viable job was the way to go). Flash forward another 10, and I'm running my business, working terrible hours. But I love it...
Who inspires you the most and why?
I’ve come from a long line of strong women – a cook on a sheep sheering station, two nurses who you could never sneak a sick day past, and a sister who could flatten Tina Sparkle in a Fruity Rhumba competition.
I’m inspired by these resilient women who have built a door when opportunity hasn't knocked. They’re true to their word, aren’t too proud to ask for help, and always have a chocolate biscuit tin in their cupboard.

Feeling drunk without alcohol was just the start Your Healthy Living Resource
Admitting a loved one has a problem with alcohol can be painful for the whole family, not just the person drinking. There is help and support available for both you and your loved one. Those problems could includedepression, an inability to manage stress, an unresolved trauma from your childhood, or any number of mental health issues. Such problems may become more prominent when you’re no longer using alcohol to cover them up. But you will be in a healthier position to finally address them and seek the help you need. The higher the alcohol content in the type of drink you’re sipping, the more likely you are to feel drunk from it. Thankfully, it’s easy to feel better with adequate fluid replacement, she says.
There is a reason why science and law dictate that drunk people cannot give informed consent. The way alcohol affects the brain is complicated and understood by science to ashockingly small degree. What we do know is that alcohol affects the hippocampus , which is why we black out; the motor cortex, which is why we stumble; and the prefrontal cortex. That last one is the part of the brain most responsible for reasoning and judgment and all of that other high fallutin’ stuff that Homo sapiens are especially good at. On his conquest, Alexander the Great held a drinking contest among his soldiers. When it was over,42 people feeling of being drunk when sober had died from alcohol poisoning.It was not the intention of anyone’s “sober heart” to have several dozen people enthusiastically poison themselves to death. Should we take people’s drunken behavior as evidence of their true character? Like the story of Dr. Jekylland Mr. Hyde, we are sometimes left asking ourselves which side of a person is their “true side”. Over the course of a year, the researchers gathered measurements of blood-alcohol levels for more than 1,800 people, and collected survey responses from 400 of those individuals. People with blood-alcohol measurements of zero were not included in the analysis.
Alcoholism and Alcohol Abuse
Females have more body fat than men and fat tends to retain alcohol which leads to higher blood alcohol concentrations and longer periods of drunkenness than males who drink the same amount. Usually a man will start to feel tipsy after consuming 2 to 3 alcoholic drinks in an hour. A woman will feel tipsy after consuming 1 to 2 alcoholic drinks in an hour. “Some people put coins in one pocket and move them to the other with each drink,” Fernandez says. Scheduling a pause to check in with yourself each time you reach for another is an alternative approach. It’s a good time to ask yourself if you might want to slow down by drinking water or opting for a drink with a lower alcohol concentration, like beer instead of liquor, she says. Once in your bloodstream, the alcohol will be processed at a constant rate by your liver.
This is true for doctor-prescribed sleep medications, over-the-counter sleep aids, and even melatonin supplements. As always, check in with your doctor before trying anything new. According to Ricanati, dehydration can quickly Sober Home set in after vomiting or diarrhea, so take note if you’ve recently had a gastrointestinal virus and feel symptoms of a hangover. Try to rehydrate — but, if you can’t keep fluids down, it’ll require a trip to the doctor.
What Your Boozy Behavior Might Say About You
Binge drinking can also lead to alcohol poisoning, a serious and sometimes deadly condition. When someone comes down from alcohol consumption, typically the next morning, a hangover is often the result. When a person begins to consume larger amounts at a faster pace, their body is not able to filter it out as effectively. This may cause them to pass through euphoric and depressive phases rather quickly and enter into more dangerous levels of intoxication. If this pattern of drinking continues for long periods of time, the body is going to adapt to the levels of alcohol consumed. At the same time, the structure and function of nerves within the brain are going to change. The release of these endorphins is focused within the portion of the brain that influences addiction.
Why does a bottle of wine not get me drunk?
If you're out with friends or drinking alone, the alcohol content means you don't need to drink a lot of wine to get drunk. It's common sense that finishing a whole bottle of wine will more or less get you drunk but it doesn't take that much wine to reach legally drunk levels.
The liver contains an enzyme known as alcohol dehydrogenase , which metabolizes the alcohol and helps to remove it from the body. Alcohol leaves the body through breath, sweat, and urine. Exercise can help wake up the body and make a person more alert. However, there is currently no strong evidence to suggest that exercise can help metabolize alcohol quicker. Recovery from an alcohol use disorder means more than quitting alcohol. Even after you no longer crave alcohol, you need to deal with the psychological and behavioral issues that contributed to your addiction in order to prevent relapse.
Basically, that means you never have to worry about having less fun at a party because you’re sober. But, it also means that if you do decide to drink, your friends could make you feel even drunker. The research suggests that having more sober people out at “da club” could keep risky drinkers from behaving badly. If you’ve never been drunk, it can be hard to understand what it feels like and why it becomes so addictive. The speed at which a person enters into those stages depends on tolerance and the amount consumed. The reason no one seems to know if this is possible or not is because all of you seem to be trying to accomplish this drinking beer. Now don’t get me wrong, I love beer, but there really is a limit to how much I can drink before I get sick, however high that limit may be. The morning of my sisters wedding, a friend of mine and myself began drinking, roughly 8am.
- Oil-heavy foods and cream-based dishes are rough on the digestive system, which can be a nightmare later on in the night.
- You may become unresponsive and your body loses its ability to rid itself of the alcohol.
- In other words, if that drunk person in the movie was actually surrounded by sober people, he or she would be more likely to realize it — and to think of himself as drunker than them.
- The study surveyed 1,862 people at bars and pubs on Friday and Saturday nights, and found that the perception of drunkenness is relative.
- There’s no question years of drinking can take a toll on the body.
Everyone is different, but a good general rule of thumb is that the liver can process about one standard drink each hour. Keep in mind that alcohol is absorbed faster than it’s metabolized and try to plan your pace before you start to drink. New Year’s is upon us and just as we blanket ourselves hopes and aspirations, we’ll probably find ourselves likewise surrounded by a sea of booze. These are just some strategies to consider, but again keep in mind that you’re “still going to have the same amount of alcohol in your body, which clouds your judgment,” Dr. Halpern says. You may have heard that drinking more alcohol (aka the “hair of the dog”), and maintaining a buzz can make you feel better when you’re drunk, but that’s a myth, she says. “It might help you go to sleep, and then your body will metabolize it all off, but it’s not gonna help you sober up,” she says. Whether you choose to go to rehab, rely on self-help programs, get therapy, or take a self-directed treatment approach, support is essential. Recovering from alcohol addiction is much easier when you have people you can lean on for encouragement, comfort, and guidance. Without support, it’s easy to fall back into old patterns when the road gets tough. Many drinking problems start when people use alcohol to self-soothe and relieve stress (otherwise known as self-medicating).
Your ongoing recovery depends on continuing mental health treatment, learning healthier coping strategies, and making better decisions when dealing with life’s challenges. In order to stay alcohol-free for the long term, you’ll also have to face the underlying problems that led to your alcoholism or alcohol abuse in the first place. Drinking problems can sneak up on you, so it’s important to be aware of the warning signs of alcohol abuse and alcoholism and take steps to cut back if you recognize them. Understanding the problem is the first step to overcoming it and either cutting back to healthy levels or quitting altogether. It’s not always easy to tell when your alcohol intake has crossed the line from moderate or social drinking to problem drinking. Drinking is so common in many cultures and the effects vary so widely from person to person, it can be hard to figure out if or when your alcohol intake has become a problem. However, if you consume alcohol to cope with difficulties or to avoid feeling bad, you’re in potentially dangerous territory. What happens to your body when you’re hungover is a bit complicated. But without alcohol in the mix, sometimes these symptoms still happen. Think about the headache and brain fog you get the day after you haven’t really slept, or that upset-tummy feeling from eating a questionable piece of cheese.
What causes auto brewery syndrome?
Auto-Brewery Syndrome (ABS), also called Gut Fermentation Syndrome, is a rare, underdiagnosed medical condition. This is caused by fermentation of ingested carbohydrate by gut fungi resulting in endogenous production of ethanol.
When I started having panic attacks on the reg, I knew something had to change. An experimental investigation of drunk personality using self and observer reports. “What often predicts how we’ll act when drunk is a combination of numerous factors, many of which we probably don’t have control over,” said Magidson. That’s why heavy drinking around coworkers is nearly always a bad idea.
When people drink, all their different physical and genetic factors combine with how much they are drinking and how quickly. This determines BAC level and the phases of drinking at which the brain and the body enters. The person who is only drinking a little each hour is better able to filter the alcohol out of the blood. This allows them to either maintain a certain level of intoxication or give their body a chance to get rid of the alcohol. Mixing different types of alcoholic drinks can rapidly bring up BAC levels and make a person feel and appear intoxicated much more quickly than if they stick to one kind only. However, this is more likely due to how mixing drinks may cause a person to consume a larger amount of alcohol in a short period of time. Binge drinking is defined as drinking so much that your blood alcohol level reaches the legal limit of intoxication within a couple of hours. For men, that means consuming five or more drinks within about two hours, and for women, four or more drinks within a similar period. These levels can be easy to hit if you sink shots, play drinking games, drink cocktails containing multiple servings of alcohol, or otherwise lose track of your intake. Alcoholism and alcohol abuse can affect all aspects of your life.
I’ll agree to this.I got this bad I only approach if I’m out and kinda tipsy or drunk when I fee l more confident in a bar or club or some type of party compared to me being sober in regular environments like gyms,grocery stores,malls because of that feeling of being inadequate

Sleep allows time to pass while the body rests and recovers. It also helps to restore the body’s ability to get alcohol out of the system. However, there is no effective way to sober up quickly other than to stop drinking and allow time to pass. Take up gardening, start collecting an item you’re truly interested in or fascinated by, learn how to build things and focus on the creative project. The goal is to fill the time you once spent drinking with activities that are enjoyable and engrossing.
Don’t take over the problem drinker’s responsibilities, leaving them with no sense of importance or dignity. Turn the person onto their side to avoid them choking if they vomit. You’re spending less time on activities that used to be important to you because of your alcohol use. The staff is amazing and I couldn’t ask for a better place to just be ME.” -Tiffany W. “From the moment you walk through the door you are made to feel like family. The clinicians have a way of making you comfortable enough to talk about anything.” -George E.
It will take more for them to reach their desired state of mind and to satiate the body and the brain’s cravings. And while that first post-work margarita may feel relaxing in the moment, alcohol can elevate anxiety levels hours later — sometimes even into the next day. So it would take 15 hours to fully sober up after 5 pints. You can slowly sober up if you drink less than 1 unit per hour. It’s not, however, the drinking that is sobering you up, it is the action of your liver. Although drinking alcohol can definitely lower your inhibitions, there’s no evidence to suggest that alcohol necessarily unlocks any deep-seated feelings or desires. The researchers found that people who were surrounded by other intoxicated individuals were more likely underestimate their own level of drunkenness. But when more sober people were present, drinkers tended to overestimate their own drunkenness, the study found. Alcohol intoxication, or getting drunk, is a temporary condition that can impair coordination, decision-making, impulse control, and other functions, which can increase the risk of harm. As such, people may want to sober up to lessen these effects and try to prevent a hangover.
If your girlfriend’s one friend has you rolling your eyes during appetizers, don’t go shot-for-shot with them after dessert. “They might be able to better control these emotions when sober, but they’re still present on some level,” said Edmonds. People — especially men — who are prone to anger or aggression while sober are more likely to act aggressive when they’re drunk. When interviewing the intoxicated individuals, the researchers asked for verbal consent and told the people that they could stop participating in the study at any time, according to the study. While there is no absolute cure for a hangover, many methods can help relieve symptoms. Nevertheless, while exercise will not help to sober a person up, they may become more aware after doing some exercise.

An IRS installment agreement offers taxpayers a structured payment plan to gradually pay off their tax obligation. Instead of facing the overwhelming burden of a large lump-sum payment, this agreement allows individuals to make smaller and more manageable payments. It provides financial relief while ensuring compliance with tax obligations.
Types Of Installment Agreements
The IRS provides a range of installment agreements, each designed to accommodate different financial circumstances. These options cater to diverse needs and ensure easier repayment for individuals
- Lump-Sum Installment Agreement is an extension allowed by the IRS which allows taxpayers up to 120 days to secure funds and make a lump-sum payment often known as full payment.
- Streamlined Installment Agreement: If the debt is between $50,000 to $100,000, you may enter into an 84 month payment plan or within collection statute whichever is longer. With the streamline payment plan, no financial disclosure is required and Statue of Collection Expiration Dates (CSED) is not a factor. If you have a federal tax lien, you may qualify to have your federal tax lien withdrawn by entering into direct debit installment agreement. You have not previously defaulted on a direct debit installment agreement.
- Non-streamlined Installment Agreement: Allows taxpayers with tax liability up to $250,000 to enter into payment with no financial disclosure as long as the balance is paid off before the CSED expires. If the taxpayer is unable to pay the monthly payments, a full disclosure of financials will be required.
- Partial Payment Installment Agreement: In cases where paying off the entire debt is not viable, a Partial Payment Installment Agreement (PPIA) becomes an ideal solution. This agreement allows taxpayers to be on a small monthly payment based on financial disclosure until the CSED expires.
Opting for an IRS installment agreement plan has several benefits. Firstly it allows you to pay off your debt in smaller regular amounts reducing the financial strain. Secondly, entering into an installment agreement can prevent the IRS from taking more serious enforcement action such as levies or garnishments as long as you comply with the agreed-upon payment plan. In some cases,it can even prevent a federal tax lien from being filed if one has not been filed. You must be current with filing of all your tax returns before an Installment Agreement can be approved and oftentimes, Form 9465 needs to be submitted to the IRS.
Navigating IRS installment agreements can be complicated but you don’t have to face it alone. Our experienced tax professionals at Lifeback Tax Relief understand the intricacies of these agreements and we are here to guide you through the process.

The IRS charges an interest rate on payments for installment agreements. These change every quarter and are calculated by adding the short-term federal rate and compound interest of 3% charged daily.

Water projects get a go-ahead
Water was a large point of talk for the Jacksonville City Council this week, with three matters discussed.
The first issue was an Illinois Environmental Protection Agency loan agreement for an upcoming water treatment plant project. Benton and Associates engineer Jamie Headen said the loan agreement, necessary to fund the $34 million project, is on track.
“Everything looks in order,” Headen said. “The amount … is in line with the budget we’ve been talking about. The interest rate, at 2.21 percent, is also consistent.”
Construction is expected to begin in September, Headen said, with the initiation of repayment of the loan to begin in March 2017.
A surface water supply “safe yield” survey proposal was also discussed and approved by council. The survey would determine the amount of water that could be drawn from Lake Jacksonville in the event of a drought.
Headen said the survey, conducted by the Prairie Research Institute at the University of Illinois, would provide the city with cross-sections and specialized data that would not only allow it to create an up-to-date drought plan, but other information that could be used for future lake projects.
The cost for the survey was estimated at $31,269.
Finally, a Lake Mauvaisterre Watershed Project is in its final phases as a proposal was accepted from Northwater Consulting. The proposal includes engineering, design and maintenance services for the project, which is to prevent silting and sediment buildup within the lake.

The Audi A1 is a small car, with potential both as an understated driver”s car and as a tuner”s dream. HS Motorsport has opted for the latter, working with Autohaus Kempen to put together a package for the 2 door German car.
On the outside, the car has picked up a new silver finish, with new tailpipes and a rear diffuser and bumper in the rear. The wheels have been upped to 18 inches, with either the ASA GT1 or GT2 rim packages available. Inside, lightweight Recaro race seats work with an Alpine sound and navigation system to improve the driving experience.
Click here for more news on the Audi A1.
The driving experience has taken a shot in the arm as well; a boost of 24 horsepower and 50 Nm of torque mean that the 144 horsepower and 250 Nm of torque will push the performance even further. And to help the performance get onto the track, HS Motorsport has also lowered and sported up the suspension. The coilover suspension kit is the last piece on a very complete tuning pack; any Audi A1 owner looking to set them apart a touch should certainly consider the pack.

The Scottish Funding Council, a Scottish Government body that distributes public funds to colleges and universities, said its legal advisers have contacted former Coatbridge College principal John Doyle seeking a partial rebate of the cash.
Mr Doyle was accused by MSPs and former colleagues of deliberately withholding information from the college to “feather his own nest” with public funds during severance talks ahead of a merger which led to the creation of New College Lanarkshire.
First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said she was “appalled” by the situation, which Auditor General Caroline Gardner called one of the most serious failures in governance that she has ever encountered.
In a new letter to Holyrood’s Public Audit Committee, the SFC said it “used all the powers we had available at the time to prevent the board giving favourable treatment to Mr Doyle”.
John Kemp, SFC director of access, skills and outcome agreements, said: “We are discussing with New College Lanarkshire, as the successor body to Coatbridge College and the body to which Mr Doyle would repay the money, the options for recovery of the severance payment.
“Our legal advisers have written to Mr Doyle on behalf of the SFC and New College Lanarkshire asking him to return the portion of the severance payment over and above what would have been paid in the Lanarkshire scheme.”
Mr Doyle’s payout after his departure in November 2013 amounted to 21 months’ salary, plus additional benefits.
Others received 13 months’ salary - in line with Scottish Funding Council (SFC) guidelines.
The SFC has been in discussions with Education Secretary Angela Constance about measures to minimise the risk of similar governance failures.
It acknowledged that it should have made its guidance on severance payments “more explicitly available to all board members”.
Mr Kemp added: “The events at Coatbridge College were exceptional and demonstrated a level of deliberate and sustained effort to act in a way that was contrary to our guidance and advice.
“In future we will ensure that processes and guidance are written or amended with these exceptional circumstances in mind.”
Mr Doyle has steadfastly maintained that he has done nothing wrong, that the payoff was agreed by the college board in full knowledge of the SFC guidelines, and that he has no reason to pay the money back.

Canadian truckers recently shut down North America's busiest land border crossing to protest Covid-19 mandates. But in the US, truck drivers have long been frustrated with other problems, like bad pay for long hours and weeks away from home.

High quality replacement shock linkage bearings.

These bearings are good they are well packaged and they fit nicely in my kdx. I recommend putting them in the freezer overnight to have them shrink ever so slightly making it a little easier to install. Also they come pre-greased but more grease does not hurt.Read All Reviews
CORD in MN
I haven't put any time on this kit yet, but the parts looked to be of decent quality and everything went together as it should. I liked the caps that were used to hold the needle bearings in the races during shipping as they also helped keep the bearings clean during installation. If kept greased I can't see why these won't work fine.Read All Reviews

The Washington Redskins underwent a huge amount of roster turnover during the Mike Shanahan and Bruce Allen era, and it will be interesting to see how much things change this offseason with Jay Gruden as the head coach and Allen still at the helm. This team desperately needs help in the secondary, and they could also afford to add a better No. 2 receiver this offseason. As far as keeping their own goes, Brian Orakpo is a major priority.
In an interesting piece published early this morning, CSN Washington’s Rich Tandler took a look at the five players on the Redskins who have been with the team the longest. Only three players have been with the team before 2010, as fullback Darrel Young was signed in 2009 as an undrafted free agent, dependable center Will Montgomery joined the Redskins as a free agent in ’08, and defensive end Kedric Golston was a sixth-round pick in 2006.
Golston is 30, and he gives the Redskins a good body in run defense at 6’4″, 310 pounds. However, he’s clearly suited for more of a rotational role than anything else, and he’ll likely be used as a top backup next year. Golston is locked in until 2016 under a cheap contract, so he isn’t going anywhere, unless if he starts playing terrible.

Once a week, Stack delivers a mix of the most interesting new music on the web, handpicked by the Hype Machine team. Here's a recent mix.


Something Has to Happen
The widely respected economist Dr. Alan Beaulieu, president of the Institute for Trend Research, Manchester, N.H, sees cause for caution in 2018. “With NAFTA, well something has to happen. We should maybe rename it HAFTA. But they have to do something, if only because they’ve been promising for so long.
“I would think it would end up largely toothless though not entirely,” he said. “In the end a protectionist NAFTA would cost us and be quite harmful. Only an idiot would engage in protectionism at this point. The world is doing quite well and will continue that way.”
Yes, the economy will look solid and will slowly grow through the first half of 2018, but after that stay alert. “The first half will be better than the second and the economy will be slowing its rate of growth and turning mildly negative in the first half of 2019,” says Beaulieu. “The businesses that plan for that softness will be well ahead of those that don’t.”
Beaulieu will offer an expanded, provocative and above all useful analysis of the domestic, global and metals economies as keynote speaker at the MSCI Carbon Conference Feb. 20–21 at the Sheraton Grand at Wild Horse Pass in Chandler, Ariz.
“The economy will continue to expand in January, more people will be working, interest rates will be up, and there will be a lot of optimism,” Beaulieu said in a pre-conference interview. “But later in the year, companies want to be carefully watching their capital spending so they are not strapped when cash flow eases.”
On a brighter note, Beaulieu sees some resilience and advantages in the existing business model of the more creative service centers, especially those that are watching for new ways to add value to their processing and distribution. “Those functions would be expensive for many end users,” he said. “But some mills might eat into those services. Still, it is the service centers that know their customers best. They have the contacts and the boots on the ground. Know your customer is always the most important thing. And I would bet with any company that does that well.”

- Push-out Score suggests signs for push-out forces
- After less than two years on the job
- Thanks and good wishes for Puhala
- Jennifer Whalen taking over in the interim
(exechange) — Houston, Texas, June 16, 2017 — Andy Puhala, finance chief of Era, leaves. It is an abrupt change. As announced by Era Group Inc. in a news release on Friday, June 16, 2017, Andrew Lewis (Andy) Puhala leaves the post as Chief Financial Officer at the helicopter operator in a surprising move after less than two years on the job, effective immediately.
Puhala’s duties are taken over in the interim by Jennifer Whalen, currently Chief Accounting Officer at Era Group Inc.
“To maintain a competitively advantaged cost structure”
The sudden management change is explained as follows. Era said in a fairly blunt statement: “This leadership change was implemented in connection with the elimination of multiple management positions to maintain a competitively advantaged cost structure.”
Precise information about the future plans of Puhala was not immediately available.
Share price decline
The change follows a sharp decline in the share price of Era Group Inc. since January 2017.
Chaired by Charles Fabrikant
Era Group Inc. is chaired by Charles Fabrikant.
Charles Fabrikant served as the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer from October 2011 to April 2012 and has served as Chairman of the Board since July 2011.
CEO: Christopher S. Bradshaw
Christopher S. Bradshaw serves as CEO of Era Group Inc. Bradshaw has served as the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company since November 2014 and Chief Financial Officer from October 2012 to September 2015.
On the job as CFO since 2015
Andrew Lewis Puhala has been the Chief Financial Officer and Senior Vice President of Era Group Inc. and Era Helicopters, LLC since September 14, 2015.
Puhala was appointed Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer upon joining Era in September 2015.
Prior to joining Era, Puhala spent more than 20 years in the energy industry, most recently as Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of American Electric Technologies, Inc. from January 2013 to September 2015.
His previous work experience also includes Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of AccessESP and a 15-year tenure with Baker Hughes, where he held numerous senior management positions including Vice President Finance – Corporate Development.
Puhala holds a Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration and a Master’s degree in Professional Accounting from the University of Texas at Austin.
At the time of Puhala’s appointment as Chief Financial Officer at Era, Christopher Bradshaw, then Era’s President, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, had said: “Andy brings well-rounded experience in numerous senior financial roles, including CFO, within the energy industry. His executive leadership experience, personal integrity, technical abilities and energetic drive make him a good fit for this important role at Era. Andy complements our senior management team as we work together to continue providing safe, efficient and reliable customer service.”
Push-out Score suggests signs for push-out forces
It is not completely certain what forces eventually triggered Andy Puhala’s sudden move.
The Push-out Score™ determined by exechange suggests that push-out forces may have contributed to the management change.

The world’s first CMOS process-based Time-of-Flight sensor with a maximum external measurement range of 20 meters, more than five times that of existing products, will guide the practical use of autonomous drone image sensors and cameras and others industrial applications.
TOKYO, June 16, 2022 / PRNewswire / – Toppan (TYO: 7911), a global leader in communications, security, packaging, furniture materials and electronic solutions, and Brookman Technology, Inc. (Brookman Technology), a subsidiary of Toppan originating from L ‘Shizuoka University and engaged in the development and sale of CMOS image sensors, have collaborated in the use of a hybrid Time-of-Flight (ToF) method to develop a three-dimensional gamma image sensor (3D sensor) capable of measure distances from one to 30 meters.
The new sensor is capable of measuring over a range more than five times greater than that possible with 3D sensors using the conventional indirect ToF method. This will help improve the operability and safety of autonomous drones and robot carriers equipped with sensors to enable them to avoid obstacles. The ToF hybrid sensor also has a unique ambient light suppression function, making it the first in the world CMOS image sensor capable of measuring distances up to 20 meters in conditions with an illuminance of 100,000 lux, equivalent to midsummer daytime brightness.
Details of this new type of ToF sensor technology were presented on June 15 by Toppan, Brookman Technology and Shizuoka University at the 2022 IEEE Symposium on VLSI Technology & Circuits (VLSI Symposium), an international conference on semiconductor technologies held in Honolulu, Hawaii, June 13-17 by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers.
The 3D sensor market is expected to expand as smartphones and game consoles become more sophisticated and the use of autonomous robots in the industry grows. There are different types of 3D sensors, based on the different principles used to detect distance. ToF sensors estimate the distance to an object by measuring the time it takes for the emitted light to be reflected. In the wake of advances in technological development in recent years, the use of ToF sensors for smartphones and other devices is on the rise due to their compact form factor and low power consumption.
Autonomous robots and drones must have an environmental mapping function that allows them to detect obstacles tens of meters in front and ascertain their position from video images. However, the widespread use of 3D sensors using the conventional indirect ToF method has been limited due to insufficient ambient light tolerance when used outdoors.
With Brookman Technology now on board as a subsidiary, Toppan has been able to leverage the strengths of both companies to lead the development of a new type of 3D sensor. This has led to the development of a hybrid ToF technology based on the refinement of Brookman Technology’s unique “short pulse modulation”. method, which enables long-distance measurements, exceptional ambient light tolerance, high-speed imaging, and simultaneous use of multiple cameras.
“Together with Brookman technology, we hope these new sensors will contribute to greater safety and convenience by acting as ‘3D sensing eyes’ that expand the possibilities of autonomous robots and industrial devices,” said Tatsuo Noguchi, head of the ToF Business Development Center. by Toppan. “Toppan will lead the further development of range sensor cameras employing the new ToF technology, with a plan to make the models available for testing starting in December this year and launch sales in the fall of 2023.”
Features of the new ToF sensor
Measure distances up to 30 meters
Using a hybrid ToF method allows you to measure distances up to 30 meters, approximately five times longer than conventional models.
Noise canceling function to facilitate outdoor measurement in midsummer conditions
Each pixel has a function to eliminate external light components. This removes ambient light noise and makes accurate measurement possible even when the illuminance is in the range of 100,000 lux, equivalent to midsummer daylight.
High-speed imaging of 120 frames per second
Distances can be measured without blurring, which can cause errors, as the measurement and noise suppression of ambient light is done in a single frame. This allows you to capture a maximum of 120 images per second, approximately four times the capacity of existing models.
Simultaneous operation of up to 256 cameras
A unique control technique allows you to cancel signals from other cameras by treating them as ambient light. This means that up to 256 cameras can be used simultaneously without interference between cameras.

UKAD responds to CAS decision to clear Armitstead
Anti-doping authority awaiting reasoned decision from CAS
UK Anti-Doping (UKAD) has responded to the news that the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) has cleared world champion Lizzie Armitstead of a whereabouts rule violation. UKAD were consulting lawyers but said that they 'respected' the outcome of the case and that they were awaiting the reasoned decision. Strict conditions mean that further appeal to the CAS from UKAD would be unlikely to be accepted.
Armitstead had been under investigation from UKAD due to three missed tests and was provisionally suspended last month, though the suspension was not made public. The reigning world champion faced up to a four-year suspension, but she appealed to the CAS stating that that proper procedure had not been followed in the first test in August 2015. The CAS agreed and declared the first test null and void, therefore allowing Armitstead to return to racing and compete at the Olympic Games.
"We respect the outcome of the CAS hearing against Elizabeth Armitstead," UK Anti-Doping Chief Executive Nicole Sapstead said in a statement issued on Tuesday morning. “When UKAD asserts a Whereabouts Failure against an athlete, the athlete has the opportunity to challenge the apparent Whereabouts Failure through an external Administrative Review, before it is confirmed. Only when three Whereabouts Failures are confirmed is the case then put through an independent review to determine whether the athlete has a case to answer for a violation of Article 2.4 of the World Anti-Doping Code.
UKAD also defended the decision to keep the investigation out of the public domain. "It is important to note that we will not publicly disclose provisional suspensions, or disclose details of cases, until an anti-doping rule violation has deemed to have been committed, at which point information will be published on our website. This is to ensure that the rights and privacy of everyone involved are respected and to ensure the case is not unnecessarily prejudiced."
Upholding the 'integrity' of the process
The statement released by Armitstead cited an administration error but did not elaborate much further other than to say that the missed test was as a “result of UKAD not following proper procedure nor fully attempting to make contact with me despite clear details being provided under 'whereabouts'.”
UKAD told Cyclingnews that they were unable to go into the specifics of Armitstead’s tests due to the ongoing legal process but stated that all doping control officers were fully trained in locating an athlete. Officers will do their utmost to ensure ‘no-notice’ testing to uphold the ‘integrity’ of the anti-doping procedure. UKAD went on to explain that in the event of testers needing to contact an athlete through a hotel reception, for example, it would become an ‘announced test’ and another would be done at a later date.
As a rule, the CAS decisions are deemed a final decision in any dispute and the conditions under which an appeal is allowed are minimal. The CAS website states: “Judicial recourse to the Swiss Federal Tribunal is allowed on a very limited number of grounds, such as lack of jurisdiction, violation of elementary procedural rules (e.g. violation of the right to a fair hearing) or incompatibility with public policy.”
Armitstead's statement also thanked British Cycling for their support. The governing body has said that they did not put any funds into supporting Armitstead's defence but had sought their own legal advice in the event that the appeal was unsuccessful and she was banned, which would have forced them into selecting an alternate rider for the Olympic Games.
Under current World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) regulations, athletes must supply their whereabouts at all times for up to three months via the Anti-Doping Administration & Management System (ADAMS) and a daily 60-minute window for testing. This can be done via the WADA website or a mobile phone app. A failure can come about as a result of not filling in the ADAMS accurately or if they are not available at the time and location specified, which would count as a missed test.
In the case of a first rule violation, an athlete could be banned from anywhere between 12 and 24 months. That could be increased to as much as four years for a second whereabouts violation.

Cellulite is a normal pattern of fat storage that is most common in women. There are several influences thought to be contributing factors in the formation of cellulite: hormones, genetics, diet, and lifestyle (for example smoking and occupations where you stand or sit for long periods of time). The result is typically dimpled or lumpy skin on the thighs, hips, buttocks, and belly. It’s also one of the peskiest problems to get rid of because topical treatments and exercise can only really mask the problem temporarily.
Cellfina is a new minimally invasive treatment option for effectively reducing the appearance of cellulite. It doesn’t just work on the surface of the skin but by actually cutting the connective bands that hold the dimples of fat in place. Advanced Dermatology, P.C. is among the first in the world to offer this innovative procedure in our offices in New York.
The 45-minute treatment works under the skin to target the structural makeup of cellulite. The small needle-sized device separates connective bands that are formed within fat. These strong bands pull on the skin from underneath causing that puckered dimpled look you see on the surface. Once the bands are released, the skin is able to regain its smoothness.
Many patients have reported seeing results just 3 days after the procedure is done! The results have so far been documented to last 2 years after the initial treatment but could last much longer. Documented side effects include: soreness, bruising, and tenderness. There is little downtime, and most patients are able to return to their regular activities soon after treatment.
Currently we have doctors performing the Cellfina cellulite reduction procedure in our state-of-the-art offices in New York (Long Island, Queens, NYC, Brooklyn, and Westchester). For more information on the treatment, consults, booking and pricing please call our cosmetic concierge at: 1-855-793-2868
With 40+ locations conveniently located in NYC, Westchester, Long Island, the suburbs of Philadelphia, New Jersey and Connecticut, a top-rated dermatologist is just around the corner.

Wild ice Avalanche in overtime to win Game 7
DENVER -- Minnesota right winger Nino Niederreiter scored 5:02 of overtime and the Wild rallied late and beat the Colorado Avalanche 5-4 in Game 7 of their first-round playoff series Wednesday night.
DENVER - Minnesota right winger Nino Niederreiter scored 5:02 of overtime and the Wild rallied late and beat the Colorado Avalanche 5-4 in Game 7 of their first-round playoff series Wednesday night.
It was Niederreiter’s second goal of the game, and it came on a 2-on-1 break right after the Avalanche had a chance at the other end.
It was the fourth overtime game of the series and the first win for the road team.
The Wild move on to face the Chicago Blackhawks in the conference semifinals.
Minnesota Wild defenseman Jared Spurgeon scored with 2:27 left in regulation to send the game into overtime.
Colorado defenseman Erik Johnson scored with 8:44 left to break a 3-all tie, but the Avalanche couldn’t hold the one-goal lead for the fourth time on the night.
Center Paul Stastny, defenseman Nick Holden and left winger Jamie McGinn also scored in regulation for the Avalanche.
Colorado goaltender Semyon Varlamov made 30 saves through regulation and overtime.
Center Mikko Koivu and left winger Dany Heatley also scored regulation goals for the Wild.
Minnesota goaltender Darcy Kuemper made 17 saves before leaving the game with 8:13 in the third with an apparent injury. Ilya Bryzgalov, who was pulled midway through Game 2, came on and made one save in overtime after not facing a shot in regulation.
Stastny gave Colorado a 3-2 lead 2:55 into the third with his NHL-leading fifth playoff goal. The Wild came back again and tied it on Niederreiter’s first goal of the postseason at 6:33 of the third.
The Avalanche scored a power-play goal for the second straight game after having just one in the first five games, but it wasn’t a clean goal.
McGinn was standing in the net when Holden put a backhander past Kuemper just 2:52 in to make it 1-0.
The Wild quickly recovered and started taking the play to Colorado. It paid off when Koivu’s shot from the boards beat Varlamov to tie it at 8:04 of the first.
Minnesota had several chances to take the lead but it was Colorado that got the next one when McGinn tipped in center Joey Hishon’s centering pass to make it 2-1 after the first.
Heatley tied it in the second as a Minnesota power play expired.
Notes: Avalanche C Joey Hishon, who made his NHL debut in Game 4, was back in the lineup after being scratched in Game 5 and replaced by C Matt Duchene in Game 6. Center Brad Malone was scratched for the first time in the series. ... Minnesota C Mikko Koivu played in his 23rd playoff game, tying him with Wes Walz for third-most in franchise history. ... Colorado C Nathan MacKinnon and Wild LW Zach Parise are tied for the scoring lead in the playoffs with 10 points apiece. ... Avalanche coach Patrick Roy appeared in 13 Game 7s in his career as a goaltender. He was 6-7, including losses in his last two with Colorado.

Oh em ACTUAL gee, Destiny's Child are back after eight whole years.
[Related article: Beyonce looks amazing on leaked GQ cover]
[Related article: Kelly Rowland denies Destiny's Child reunion]
It's the first original Destiny's Child release for eight years which seems pretty crazy - it seems like only yesterday that we were bopping around in front of the mirror to Lose My Breath.
Beyonce announced the news via her website. She posted an image which simply read: "I am so proud to announce the first original Destiny's Child music in eight years! - Beyoncé"
Beyonce also tweeted the cover of the album. Copyright [Destiny's Child]Unfortunately there's only one new song on the album which makes Beyonce's announcement a little misleading, but we're still ridiculously excited to hear it.
In fact, the news sparked a debate about our favourite ever Destiny's Child songs. Here are our top 5:
1. Independent Women Part 1
When Charlie's Angels came out, our favourite part of the film was this absolute tune. It was the song that made us feel all strong and powerful with lyrics like: "If I wanted the watch you're wearin, I'll buy it, the house I live in, I've bought it, the car I'm driving, I've bought it. I depend on me."
Listening to Destiny's Child's song Bootylicious is probably the best way to overcome any day where you're feeling body conscious. The song rang so true that 'bootylicious' has now become a word in its own right.
Officially the best break up song EVER. In them moments where we were doubting whether we'd ever get over that rubbish ex, the lyrics saw us through: "You thought that I'd be sad without you, I laugh harder. You thought I wouldn't grow without you, now I'm wiser."
4. Say My Name
A proper old school classic, it's R n B embodied. The chorus is ridiculously catchy, too.
5. Lose My Breath
Lose My Breath was Destiny's Child's comeback single (and the last single they released) back in 2004. With a bit of help from Beyonce's hubby Jay Z on the production side, the song was an absolute smash and is guaranteed to get us on the dance floor, where we really believe we can dance like Beyonce. Ahem.

Jereme from Hedkandi salon asked me to style this ad shot by the amazing Gerard Yunker and with creative by Brad Connell from Wax Partnership (agency). Tara Anand gave good face and the girls were gorgeous! We shot in the stinkiest bathroom at the Blackfoot truckstop, the MEN'S Bathroom to be specific. Guys kept trying to come in with Aleisia up on the counter making out with herself in the mirror and I had to keep shooing them away! Shooting on the C-train with the super sexy Ania B. with Gerard yelling directions like, "More butt!" with all the people just trying to get home after work was epically funny. The owner of the restaurant we used, Fleur de Sel, was very gracious and the wine was delicious. All in all a super fun shoot with great people.
