These powerful lessons can improve your overall relationship with your dog and improve his behavior as a positive side effect.
Almost 30 years ago, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People by Dr. Stephen Covey was published for the first time. The self-help book went on to be called the “most influential business book of the 20th century.” To date, more then 25 million copies of the book have been sold.
As a small business owner, I found the book very enlightening and helpful, but I mostly found myself relating to Dr. Covey’s “7 habits” as things that would really help anyone who lived with and worked with dogs!
“The Dog Just Won’t Listen”
As a professional dog trainer, I get to work with people from all walks of life and the dogs they love.
Interestingly, no matter who they are, what they do for a living, or what kind of dog they have, their issues are similar: They call me because they want their dog to stop doing “X.” Usually, they say they have “tried everything, but the dog just won’t listen.”
I love the opportunities I have to work with so many amazing dogs.
“Look at Things Differently”
But a lot of what I do comes down to coaching the dog’s owners on how to look at things differently to obtain a new outcome.
With Dr. Covey’s “seven habits for success in business” in mind, allow me to apply them to people who want a more successful relationship with their dogs.
1. Be proactive.
Much of the old-fashioned dog training we were exposed to growing up focused on waiting for the dog to make a mistake and then harshly correcting him. While most of us simply accepted this as “how you train a dog,” we were missing the bigger picture. This method never taught the dog what he was supposed to do in that situation the next time.
It doesn’t make sense to let an untrained dog loose in your house and then follow behind correcting him with “No! Don’t! Off! Stop! Get down! Quit that!” for every wrong decision he makes. It is much more effective and productive to take the time to teach this new family member how to act appropriately in your home.
In modern, science-based animal training we understand the importance of teaching the learner, in this case the dog, what to do by being proactive. To use the example above as what not to do when you bring your new dog or puppy home, start things off on the right foot by first showing your new family member where she is supposed to go potty – before you ever bring her indoors! Stay out there until she goes, and immediately reward her with treats and praise!
Then, instead of turning her loose in her new home, allow your new dog to have access to just one room or area in the house at first – a place where she won’t be able to make mistakes like jumping up on the bird cage, soiling a precious rug, or chewing up a family heirloom. Allow her to relax in an area where it’s safe to explore without being able to make any major mistakes and where her water, food, toys, and beds are located. Reward her for sitting politely as she meets each member of the family and each visitor to the home!
Dogs do what works for them and what’s safe for them. If you introduce behaviors that are safe for the dog and work for you both, your dog will begin to choose them naturally.
2. Begin with the end in mind.
To change an unwanted behavior, you first need to decide what you want your learner to do instead. It is very easy to say, “I want my dog to stop jumping” or “I don’t want my dog to bark at the mailman.” You need to turn that around and decide exactly what you’d rather have your dog do in those moments.
To modify the unwanted behavior, we must be able to picture the final goal. If your dog is jumping on guests, you would probably prefer that he sit politely instead. If your dog is barking, you may decide you want him to play with his toy or go to his bed while the mailman passes by. These are the finished behaviors you can have in mind, so you know exactly what you’re going to teach your dog to do.
If you don’t have a goal in mind and you’re only focused on stopping a behavior, your dog will never learn what he’s supposed to do the next time a guest comes to visit, or the mailman delivers a package. This will set up an endless cycle of wrong behavior, harsh correction, confused and scared dog, frustrated guardian. This cycle can be broken easily if you begin dealing with your dog with your end goal in mind.
3. Put first things first.
Prioritizing is a necessity in all aspects of our lives. Working with your dog is no exception. There will probably be several things you wish to change or work on with your dog, but certain ones should take precedent. Any behavior that is necessary to keep your dog and other family members safe should be a top priority.
This could be teaching your dog to come when called because you live near a busy street. It may be working on creating positive associations for your dog with babies because you’re expecting. If you’ve recently brought home a new puppy, proper and humane socialization should be your number one priority due to the brief window of time puppies have to learn about their world and whether it’s safe.
Focus on teaching your dog whatever behaviors meet your immediate needs; usually, the rest can be handled with proper management such as baby gates, fences, a leash, stuffed food toys, etc. There is nothing wrong with using management to keep everyone safe and happy until you have a chance to work on that next issue with your dog.
4. Think win-win.
Always think in terms of mutual benefit when working with your dog. I doubt you added a dog to your family to spend the next 10 to 15 years in an adversarial relationship. Therefore, it’s not helpful to think in terms of dominating your dog or expecting your dog to spend his life trying to please you.
Instead, make the things you ask your dog to do just as beneficial for him as they are for you. Thankfully, this couldn’t be easier, since most dogs will gladly work for food, toys, praise, and/or petting.
Your relationship with your dog should be like any other in your family, built on mutual respect and love for one another. If you stop and consider how your dog must feel in a given situation – just as you would for your partner or child – you can then approach it in a way in which you both receive what you need in that moment: a win-win.
5. Seek first to understand, then to be understood.
Humans are quick to demand full and complete comprehension from our dogs. It’s surprising when you consider we expect this from an entirely different species – one that doesn’t speak our language!
On the flip side, consider that dogs speak to us all day long with their ritualized body language. Sadly, most humans have never learned this language.
Dr. Covey wrote in his book, “Seek first to listen with the intent to understand the thoughts and feelings of others, then seek to effectively communicate your own thoughts and feelings.”
We must remember that our dogs have their own thoughts and feelings and that the environment we subject them to affects both. If you cue your dog to sit or lie down while at the vet clinic or on a busy street corner and he doesn’t do it, it’s not because he is being stubborn.
Your dog may be scared, anxious, or overwhelmed in this situation and feels that it would be unsafe or uncomfortable to sit or lie down. He is not defiantly disobeying your orders. He is responding to his instinct and emotions in the moment. Every one of us does this when we feel scared or threatened.
Learning how your dog communicates with his body means you care about this family member with whom you share your life. It also shows your dog that he can trust you to help him out of overwhelming moments and you will understand what he needs. What an amazing gift to be able to offer him!
This means recognizing your own strengths and celebrating the strengths of those around you. You may have adopted a dog because you thought it would be nice to visit nursing homes and cheer up people with a sweet, fluffy therapy dog. However, the dog you end up with might be full of energy and better-suited for an agility field.
Instead of seeing this as a failure in your dog’s ability to be a therapy dog, consider the amazing possibilities you could have doing something more active together. Perhaps this unexpected development will open up a new world to you, with like-minded friends and fun travel. (And perhaps your dog will grow to share your interest in providing comfort to people later in his life!)
Just as you would with a child, try meeting your dog where he is, accepting him for who he is today. Be open to discovering the wonderful gifts he can bring to your life right now.
7. Sharpen the saw.
There isn’t an individual on this planet that ever stops learning. In fact, learning is always taking place, even when we don’t realize it.
If you think of training a dog as something you do haphazardly (when you find the time) for the first few weeks he’s in your home, you will not be happy with the results. Alternatively, if you weave training into your everyday life with your dog, thinking of each brief interaction as a teaching moment, you will be amazed by the outcome.
Your dog will receive clear and consistent messages from you in all types of settings and situations. This will allow him to develop into a calm, confident dog who truly understands what is expected of him and which behaviors are appropriate to choose on his own.
“Learning is Always Happening”
It’s not uncommon for someone to ask me, “How long will it take before my dog is trained?”
The truth is, there really isn’t an answer to this question because there should not be an “ed” on the end of the word train.
As long as we are alive, learning is always happening and none of us is ever fully “trained.”
Instead of being disappointed by this and thinking that you will have to train your dog for the rest of his life, I encourage you to flip that narrative and become excited about the opportunity to share a mutual journey in learning alongside each other – a journey that builds a bond like no other.

Capital punishment also known as Death penalty is a practice sanctioned by the state to put a person to death as a punishment for a crime. A prisoner who has been sentenced to death and awaits execution is commonly referred to as being “on death row”.
Capital crimes, capital offences or capital felonies are the crimes which are punishable by death. They vary depending on the jurisdiction, some of which are crimes against the person such as murder, mass murder, aggravated cases of rape (often including child sexual abuse), terrorism, aircraft hijacking, war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide, along with crimes against the state such as attempting to overthrow government, treason, sedition, and piracy, among other crimes. Also, in some cases, acts of recidivism, aggravated robbery, and kidnapping, in addition to drug trafficking, drug dealing, and drug possession, are capital crimes or enhancements.
- Arguments: In Favour of the Death Penalty
Safety and Welfare the citizens: Capital punishment is often offended on the grounds that society has a moral obligation to protect the safety and welfare of its citizens. Murderers threaten this safety and welfare. Only by putting murderers to death can society ensure that convicted killers do not kill again.
Good over Evil: Capital punishment is one such practise the society should support that will bring about a balance of good over Evil.
Deterrence (prevention): Capital punishment is often justified with the argument that by executing convicted murderers, it will deter murderers from killing people. It also provides closure for victims’ families.
Justice: Justice is a matter of ensuring that everyone is treated equally. It is very important that the society imposes punishment on the criminals equal and not less than what the innocent victims and their family has suffered. Society should not favour criminals by allowing them to get away with bearing fewer costs than what the victim has borne and suffered.
Retribution (Eye for an eye): People should get what they deserve in proportion to the severity of their crime. Criminals should get what they deserve and should suffer for their wrong doing in an appropriate manner.
- Arguments: Against the Death Penalty
Unjust to innocent people: The death penalty is also unjust because it is sometimes inflicted on innocent people. People go to death row because they have no money to appeal their case, or they have a poor defense, or they lack the funds or they are members of a political or racial minority.
Right to life (Article 21 of the Indian Constitution): Every human life is precious. The right to life is the most fundamental of rights. No state should be allowed to take it away easily.
Rehabilitation: Capital punishment doesn’t rehabilitate the prisoner and return them to society. Rehabilitation means restoration. A criminal can be by training and therapy help them and change them and their lives will be not wasted.
Evidence doesn’t confirm that deterrence works: Some of the executed may not have been capable of being deterred because of mental illness or defect. Death has been prescribed in rape cases since 2013 (Sec. 376A of IPC), still, rapes continue to happen and in fact, the brutality of rapes has increased. Thus death penalty is an effective deterrent to crime.
Retribution is immoral: People who oppose Capital punishment are of the view that retribution is immoral, and it is just a sanitized form of vengeance (a desire for revenge).
India is awaiting execution of Nirbhaya’s rapists, the inordinate delay in the execution of the death penalty has taken the sting out of the punishment. This is the reason why Hyderabad police encounter in Disha’s case was hailed by a large populace. Therefore there is a need to speed up investigations at the hands of a well trained and equipped police system supported by fast track trials to reinforce the faith of the public in our legal system.
I have always been against Glorifying Over Work and therefore, in the year 2021, I have decided to launch this campaign “Balancing Life”and talk about this wrong practice, that we have been following since last few years. I will be talking to and interviewing around 1 lakh people in the coming 2021 and publish their interview regarding their opinion on glamourising Over Work.

The tampon printing is an indirect gravure printing process , in which the ink is transferred by an elastic pad made of silicone rubber of the printing form to the printing substrate. The color is transferred to the material by pressing it in different thicknesses. The pad printing process is the most important process for printing plastic objects and is therefore of great importance in the advertising industry, among other things. It emerged from the decalcation process when, in 1968, the master engraver Wilfried Philipp replaced the unstable gelatin tampons of this process with those made of silicone rubber.
The print image that is to be transferred is exposed to a cliché using a positive film (offset film) or also called matt film . A distinction is made between steel clichés and plastic clichés. With steel plates, the print image is etched into the steel surface. Steel clichés are used for recurring print images with very high quantities. This cliché is washed out after exposure. As a result, the exposed print image remains deepened on the surface of the cliché. The preparation for printing is now complete.
After the cliché has been mounted on the machine, the mechanical process of printing takes place. The printing ink is moved back and forth with the help of a squeegee made of metal or plastic (in earlier years roller or brush) and washed over the cliché with ink. When moving backwards, a knife pulls the paint off again and leaves it behind in the recess. The pad then rests on this printing form, lifts off again, taking the printing ink with it, and moves to the printing material. There the pad lowers, adapts to the shape and leaves the color (the print image) on the print material. In the case of multi-color printing, this color sequence is repeated in a second pass with a different color.
The advantage of this transfer of pressure is the deformability of the pad, which makes it possible to print on curved surfaces ( convex , concave or grained). Due to its elasticity, the tampon takes on the shape of the body to be printed and can thus ideally transfer the motif onto the printing material. The print image is transferred to the print body. The ink transfer to the printing material is almost 100% due to the silicone oil in the pad. In addition, different sizes can be printed in different colors.
Due to its adaptability, pad printing can be used when printing on surfaces with a relatively complex shape. Areas of application are, for example, the printing of syringes, toys, CDs, dishes, screw caps, medical products, aircraft and vehicle interior parts, lighters, tin cans and coins. The surface material plays a rather subordinate role. The print can be easily applied to plastic, rubber, glass, ceramics, paper, wood, metal and many other materials.
In the automotive sector, many parts are decorated using pad printing, such as the indicator or windshield wiper lever.
This printing technique is used particularly often in the advertising industry and model railways , as many promotional items and rail vehicle models do not have a flat surface.
The mechanical structure of the inking system distinguishes between three basic types:
- Open color system
- from approx. 1971, the paint lies in an open paint basin, is brushed over the printing cliché with the paint spatula , and the excess paint is wiped off with the doctor blade. One advantage of this system is given with large printing areas. This inking system is considered obsolete for small print areas.
- Closed color system
- from approx. 1983, paint is in a hermetically sealed paint pot, which at the same time contains the squeegee element through a circumferential squeegee ring made of hard metal or ceramic and squeegees off the excess paint.
- The doctor ring is also the sealing element. The pot is pressed against the cliché so that there is no undesired paint leakage. With some machines this is done by magnets, with others by adjustable spring preload or pneumatic pressure.
- Rotary pad printing
- from approx. 1981, for printing round parts or for continuous printing. Both the tampon and the cliché are designed as rollers and thus allow a continuous sequence of movements. The paint lies in an open paint basin. Application e.g. B. in systems for printing bottle caps or plastic profiles.
With some pad printing machines, the movements are pneumatic, with others, especially fast machines, electromechanical via cams. The latest generation of pad printing machines is driven by linear motors, which guarantees a programmable workflow. A wide variety of print images can be issued via automated part recognition without having to change the cliché.
High-quality machines usually have an automatic device for cleaning the tampon (tampon cleaning, residual ink collection) and automatic ink thinning. Machines for integration into automations are appropriately equipped with PLC controls and suitable interfaces.

To the lightLight became the main theme of the exhibition in Perm art gallery. It combined all the projects both formally and conceptually. Perm art gallery is situated in the building of the Perm Saviour's Transfiguration Cathedral. In this cathedral there is a unique collection of Perm wooden sculpture (“Perm Gods”). Artists used the exhibits both directly, exposing never-before-exhibited objects, and indirectly. So, the light became a symbol of divine beginning.
We presented two works at the exhibition. As the objects we worked with were all-sufficient and full of sense, we tried to operate as delicate as possible and acted not so much in the role of artists as much as expositors.
We put the 18th century sculpture “Christ in prison” in a semi-circular arch of the cathedral, behind it we set the bright light source, which helped to create a silhouette of the object and the halo around him.
We used X-ray images of wooden gods in our second work. Over hundreds of such radiographs are kept in the archive of the gallery. Previously, employees took the sculptures in an ordinary hospital to learn more about the technology of creation of sculptures and in order to test them for the presence of bark beetles. They are incredibly strong graphic works that convey a sense of sacredness. We selected 5 images and put them in the metal lightboxes.

The pop-up miniature parks that first hit Spokane streets three summers ago are here to stay.
The Spokane City Council voted unanimously Monday night to create final rules for so-called “parklets,” small gathering spaces that can fill as many as two parking spaces or loading zones outside a business. The laws also create rules for what the city is calling “streateries,” allowing bars and restaurants to extend their service beyond the sidewalk patio into the street. The term was borrowed from Seattle, which started its streatery program in 2015.
City Councilwoman Lori Kinnear, who has led the two-year pilot project examining how the structures would work in Spokane, said the incoming restauranteurs on the ground level of the remodeled Ridpath Hotel have already expressed interest in attaining a streatery license.
Streateries are intended to allow more control of the space by the adjoining business, while parklets are intended for public use, Kinnear said.
“Streateries are something the restaurant is paying for, to allow their customers to eat outside, and drink outside,” she said. “It’s not for the casual observer to come and plop down.”
San Francisco has claimed credit as the site of the world’s first parklets, in 2010. Since then, the concept – which supporters say provides a somewhat natural oasis in the middle of dense urban areas that liven streetscapes and reduce crime – has spread to Seattle, Minneapolis and Boise.
Kinnear worked with the council’s legal adviser, Brian McClatchey, and city planning staff to develop an ordinance
Sponsors in areas with metered parking must also pay a fee for lost revenue based on square footage. Streatery owners must pay $1.04 more per square foot monthly to take up a downtown parking space than the owner of a parklet.
Parklets and streateries may only operate from April 1 to November 1. Kinnear said that time frame allows snow plows to roll down the street. The installations will be allowed in any part of town, but require a sponsor. Only one parklet or streatery may be located on a single block face. Two could be located across the street from each other.
The Downtown Spokane Partnership, a group promoting economic development in the city’s core, has been partnering with the city on its parklet pilot projects. Mark Richard, president of the group, said adding streateries to the mix would boost the program’s popularity.
“I think once people see the commercial opportunities for this, I think it’s only going to grow,” said Richard.
Before the vote, City Councilwoman Amber Waldref said permanent parklets would allow businesses in historic sections of town to expand. City Councilman Mike Fagan, who’d voted against parklet concepts in the past, switched his vote to a “yes” Monday night based on requirements in the law that businesses keep up the appearance of the parklet and provide payment for lost parking revenue.
“I don’t think there’s a whole lot of holes in this, that we’re going to have to go back and address later,” Fagan said of the ordinance.
The panel voted 6 to 0 in favor of the permanent rules. City Council President Ben Stuckart was absent from Monday’s meeting.

Are you struggling with constipation after bariatric surgery? Or maybe you haven’t had surgery yet but you want to help prevent constipation after bariatric surgery?
In this article I am going to share with you what constipation is, why it can occur after bariatric surgery, and the 11 BEST foods that you can eat to help prevent constipation after bariatric surgery.
Table of Contents
What is Constipation?
According to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), ‘constipation is a condition in which you may have fewer than three bowel movements a week; stools that are hard, dry, or lumpy; stools that are difficult or painful to pass; or a feeling that not all stool has passed. You usually can take steps to prevent or relieve constipation.’
As you can see from the definition above, you can be constipated when you have fewer than three bowel movements per week, but you could also be constipated when you are having a bowel movement every day if you have stools that are hard to pass or are dry or lumpy.
Constipation After Gastric Sleeve vs. Constipation After Gastric Bypass
Both gastric sleeve and gastric bypass surgeries can be affected by constipation equally. Having one surgery over the other won’t increase or decrease your likelihood of constipation after bariatric surgery. For either surgery, you are still going to:
- Take iron and calcium supplements
- Likely be prescribed narcotic medication for pain control after surgery
- Have a decrease in the amount of food (and thus fiber) that you are able to eat in the early days after bariatric surgery
- Possibly be prescribed an acid reducer/proton-pump inhibitor after surgery
Why Does Constipation After Bariatric Surgery Occur?
There are several reasons why you might experience constipation after bariatric surgery.
Eating Less Fiber
One that you might have already thought of is low fiber intake because you’re not eating very much food. Unfortunately you can’t always fix this problem because you’re limited in how much food (and thus fiber) that you can eat in those early days after surgery.
Fortunately though, if you’re eating vegan after bariatric surgery, you may be choosing more foods that are rich in fiber than your omnivorous counterparts. For example, tofu has fiber and meat doesn’t!
There isn’t a specific amount of fiber that is recommended for the early days after bariatric surgery. To help prevent constipation you can choose to eat foods that are appropriate for your diet stage that contain fiber. For example, choose a blended bean soup instead of cheese to increase your fiber intake.
Later in this article I am going to share a variety of high fiber foods that you can eat to help increase your fiber intake.
Medications Used After Bariatric Surgery
Narcotic Pain Medications
One thing that you may not think about causing constipation after bariatric surgery is pain medication. Narcotics are often prescribed after bariatric surgery for pain control, but they can cause constipation.
I am not trying to imply that you shouldn’t take medication for pain control after bariatric surgery, but the possibility that narcotics could cause constipation is something you should be aware of. If you are worried about constipation from taking narcotics after surgery, this is something you should discuss with your bariatric surgery team ahead of your surgery.
Acid Reducing Medications or Proton Pump Inhibitors
After bariatric surgery it is likely you will be prescribed proton pump inhibitors/acid reducers to reduce risk of ulcers. Unfortunately these can also increase your risk of constipation. This is not necessarily something that you will be able to change after bariatric surgery to reduce your risk but more something to be aware of.
If you’re constipated after bariatric surgery and are concerned it is a result of taking proton pump inhibitors you should discuss this with your bariatric surgery team. Do not just stop taking prescribed medications without talking to your doctor.
Decrease in Normal Activity Levels
After having bariatric surgery you may not feel like doing much and as a result your usual activity levels can decrease. Staying as active as you can after surgery is helpful for reducing your risk for constipation after bariatric surgery.
You will also be encouraged to walk frequently after bariatric surgery to help prevent blood clots. Follow directions from your bariatric surgery team as to how often you should be walking to prevent blood clots.
There are some supplements that you have to take after bariatric surgery that can increase your risk for constipation.
After bariatric surgery it is required for you to take calcium supplements. The amount of calcium you should take varies depending on what type of bariatric surgery you had and how much calcium you are getting from your diet.
If you had the roux-en-y gastric bypass (RYGB) and sleeve gastrectomy (SG) surgery you need 1200-1500 mg of calcium per day from food and supplements.
If you had the biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch (BPD/DS) you need 1800-2400 mg calcium per day from food and supplements.
To help minimize the risk of constipation from calcium supplements as much as possible, make sure that you are not over-supplementing with calcium. To figure this out, you can track your usual food intake in a food tracker (I recommend Cronometer) for 3-4 days to get your average calcium intake from food. Then you will know how much calcium to supplement with to make up the difference.
Iron is one of the most common deficiencies after bariatric surgery so it is vital that you take iron supplements after bariatric surgery. Unfortunately iron supplements can also cause constipation. For the most common types of bariatric surgery, RYGB, SG, and BPD/DS, the daily recommended dose of iron supplements is 45-60 mg/day. Taking more iron than what you need can contribute to constipation.
Certain forms of iron can also increase your risk for constipation. For example, ferrous fumarate is most often prescribed for supplemental iron needs after bariatric surgery, but ferrous sulfate can increase constipation after bariatric surgery. Check with your bariatric surgery team as to which form of iron they recommend for you.
Decreased Fluid Intake
After bariatric surgery you may be surprised at how challenging it is for you to drink enough fluid. You might have been great at staying hydrated before surgery and struggling for every sip after surgery.
Not drinking enough fluid not only increases your risk for constipation after bariatric surgery but also can make you feel like crap. It may take quite a bit of effort to relearn how to drink enough fluid after surgery. Even though it is difficult it is so important that you make this a top priority. If you’re struggling with hydration you should contact your bariatric surgery program right away.
Ways to Increase Your Fluid Intake After Bariatric Surgery
- Set an alarm to take a drink on your mobile phone to help you remember to drink.
- Try different temperatures of beverages. If you used to like cold beverages and that’s not working any longer, try something warm like tea or broth.
- Try different flavors of beverages. If plain water is too boring add fruit into your water or use a calorie-free drink mix to add flavor.
- Use popsicles to add to your fluids. Even though they’re frozen, they still count.
11 Foods to Eat to Prevent Constipation After Bariatric Surgery
One whole avocado boasts 9 g of fiber and is a great source of heart healthy fats. You can include avocado blended in a smoothie or soup if you need a liquid/pureed option. As you are able to tolerate more foods avocado is delicious on top of salad or whole grain toast.
Chia seeds are one of the best sources of fiber out there. Just 2 tablespoons of chia seeds provides you with a whopping 10 g of fiber. That can really make a dent in meeting your fiber needs for the day.
Like avocado, chia seeds are also a great source of heart healthy fats.
Try chia seeds blended into a smoothie or soup, mixed into soy yogurt, stirred into oatmeal, or made into a chia pudding.
Flaxseeds are another easy way to add fiber and heart healthy fats to your diet, just by mixing them into foods you are already eating. For 2 tablespoons you get 4 g of fiber. Try stirring flaxseeds into your cooked hot cereal or sprinkling on top of your salad. They add a delicious nutty flavor.
So this might seem obvious but you need to drink enough water to prevent constipation. If you’re getting bored of plain water you can add flavor and variety in several ways.
Add Variety to Your Hydration-Instead of Plain Water, Try These:
- Herbal Tea
- Infused Water (add fruit or vegetables to water and let them soak)
- Sugar-Free Drink Mixes
- Coffee (yes, coffee does hydrate you!)
- Broth (even though it is salty, it is okay to have sometimes to meet some of your fluid goals)
Raspberries are also a great source of fiber, helping you to meet your daily fiber goals to decrease your risk of constipation after bariatric surgery. They are also delicious! For a double fiber snack, add raspberries to chia pudding.
Pears are an ideal food to eat to prevent constipation. Not only do they have fiber, they are also a natural source of sorbitol. Sorbitol is a sugar alcohol that can help with constipation by bringing water into the intestines. Pears make a great snack when you pair them with another food like nuts.
Prunes are similar to pears in that they are a rich source of fiber and naturally-occurring sorbitol. Dried fruit can be tough to tolerate for some people after bariatric surgery, so if you want to try prunes I would recommend waiting until you’re comfortable eating foods with more challenging textures. For many people, this may not be until at least 3 months after surgery.
If you’re not sure, check with your bariatric surgery program.
Coffee helps with constipation, not because of fiber, but because it is stimulating to the muscles in your digestive tract, making it easier for you to have a bowel movement.
If you’re not supposed to have caffeine, don’t worry. Decaf coffee often works too.
Lentils are another food that provides a hefty amount of fiber. They also provide a significant amount of protein. Any lentils will do: red lentils, brown lentils, de Puy lentils, they’re all great! The other great thing about lentils is that they work for almost any diet stage.
Beans come in so many different varieties that they work in almost any dish to add fiber and protein. Similar to lentils you can use them in almost any diet stage. Hummus works for pureed, a bean soup or stew works for soft, and they continue to be a great choice as a filling part of your meal when you get to regular textures.
Edamame are immature soybeans (remember, soybeans are used to make soy milk, tofu, and tempeh). Delicious on their own, edamame can be prepared easily in the microwave from frozen. You can also add them to other dishes, such as stir fries to increase the protein and fiber content.
They are also a great option to order when you’re out to eat. I find that many different types of Asian restaurants have them on the menu and they are often served in their pods. Since you have to take the time to remove them from the pods before eating, it helps to slow down the pace of your meal.
What If You Try All of These Tips & You Still Experience Constipation After Bariatric Surgery?
It is possible that you will drink enough fluid, eat enough fiber, and be staying as active as you can after bariatric surgery and you will still get constipated. If this happens to you, reach out to your bariatric surgery team. There are medications they can recommend or prescribe to help.
Sometimes we think that just because we’re following a healthy vegan diet everything will go perfectly; this could not be further from the truth. There are things about a vegan diet (like having more high fiber food choices) that can make it more preventive against constipation, but this may not be enough right after bariatric surgery or if you have a medical condition (such as irritable bowel syndrome) that make you more likely to be constipated.
Don’t be afraid to reach out for help!
Constipation is fairly common after bariatric surgery, but there are some things you can do to help prevent it. Eat enough fiber, drink enough fluid, be as active as you’re able to be, and ask for help from your bariatric surgery team if you need it.

Heterocyclic Acetic Acids
Frontal headache is the most common adverse effect following therapeutic dosing with these compounds. Other reported effects include gastritis, epigastric distress, lightheaded-ness, vertigo, dizziness, mental confusion, and occasionally
somnolence, stupor, or hallucinations. Neutropenia, thrombo-cytopenia, and rarely aplastic anaemia may occur following chronic ingestion of therapeutic doses.
Intoxication with indomethacin is generally not associated with serious effects, though occasionally it may cause convul-sions. Nausea, vomiting, gastritis, gastrointestinal ulceration with perforation, and haemorrhage may occur. Disorientation, mental confusion, and lethargy have been reported. Sulindac overdose can cause renal failure. It has also been implicated in development of psychosis, especially in the elderly patient. Ketorolac has been withdrawn from use in some countries and restrictions imposed in other countries because of its severe adverse effects relating to GI tract and kidneys, while zomepirac has been withdrawn in the USA because of its tendeny to induce anaphylaxis.
Treatment of overdosage is symptomatic and supportive. Patients should be monitored for possible gastrointestinal ulceration and/or haemorrhage. Monitor renal function and haematocrit in symptomatic patients. Antacids may be of some value for relief of symptoms in patients with gastrointestinal symptoms.

Acquisitions like SureWest’s quickly attract lawsuits
Law firms waste no time in launching search for disgruntled shareholders
The $341 million acquisition of SureWest Communications was announced on a Monday. By the end of that week, 14 law firms had announced they were investigating whether shareholder interests were violated.
Those investigations could lead to class-action merger lawsuits — the fastest growing type of securities litigation.Investigation announcements and class-action lawsuits by law firms have become common after mergers and acquisitions in recent years.
The suits tend to yield more for the law firms than for shareholders they represent, said Jennifer Johnson, a law professor at Lewis & Clark Law School in Portland, Ore.
“If you look at all of the mergers valued at $100 million or more in the past few years, nearly every one of them has been sued,” she said.
“What we are seeing is tons of suits and investigations,” she said. “And they are suing before they’ve seen the proxy or anything else.”
Nine of the SureWest investigations were announced within a day of the merger announcement on Feb. 6. Five more soon followed. None offered specific allegations and none of the firms contacted offered comment.
The preliminary proxy for the SureWest merger is due out next week, said Sure-West spokesman Ron Rogers.
It’s cheaper to settle
Legal research company Cornerstone Research found that merger suits over deals valued at more than $100 million have become more common in recent years. An average of 2.8 shareholder merger lawsuits were filed per deal in 2007. By 2011, the average had risen to 6.1, according to a recent report by Cornerstone.
Johnson found a similar trend. She was doing research on state court securities class-action cases when she ran across a trend of merger-related suits.

The thing that drives a narcissist crazy is the lack of control and the lack of a fight. The less you fight back, the less power you can give them over you, the better,” she says. And because they never think they’re wrong, they never apologize. About anything.
Similarly, Do narcissists quickly forget their exes?
No Narcissists don’t forget anyone, they just replace you with new supply aka somebody else because they are just bored of you. There is a big difference between forgetting someone and not wanting someone back though. For me and based on my experiences throughout my life Narcissists do not forget you.
Also, Why would a narcissist fear you? Narcissists are characterized by a hypersensitivity to insults, and the mere thought of being verbally abused can be a source of great fear for them. Hypersensitivity means that they experience the “sting” of being insulted much more than the average person.
What to say to disarm a narcissist?
By saying « we » rather than « I » or « you, » you include yourself in the behaviour. The narcissist is probably so angry at you because you dared to defend yourself, so to try and stop the argument escalating further you can try and remind them you’re in this together, and it’ll be better off for everyone to stop.
Why do narcissists secretly talk to their exes?
Ramani Durvasula points out, narcissists often have a habit of staying in contact with their exes in a way that is solely about their own needs. « The central motivator for narcissists is validation, » she explains. . They constantly need that fresh narcissistic supply, and they kind of know what an ex’s supply is like. »
Why do narcissists keep in touch with exes?
Research Finds That Narcissists Try To Remain Friends With Their Exes For Darker Reasons. . Since narcissists lack empathy and exploit others for their own gain, what is known as “hoovering” is common.
What do narcissist hate the most?
Narcissists are famous for lying or exaggerating certain things to make themselves appear more important or impressive. They also do this to make themselves feel better about their own standing in society. So it’s only logical that one of a narcissists’ greatest fears is having those lies and exaggerations exposed.
Do narcissists know they are hurting you?
Some may learn to be self-aware in time, and learn to notice when they are hurting you. But this still doesn’t guarantee they will care. « Narcissists are primed to be abusive because they’re so hypersensitive, and they don’t have empathy, and they don’t have object constancy, » Greenberg said.
What is the weakness of a narcissist?

What are narcissist most afraid of?
Although narcissists act superior to others and posture as beyond reproach, underneath their grandiose exteriors lurk their deepest fears: That they are flawed, illegitimate, and ordinary.
Why does a narcissist ignore you?
So, by verbally and emotionally “cutting you off,” the narcissist offers you a taste of what life might be without his charming godlike awesome self (did you detect that bit of sarcasm there??). So, that’s the why – the narcissist ignores and belittles and devalues you because it plays on your fear of being alone.
Does a narcissist regret losing you?
And there is one thing that the narcissist regrets about losing you, and it is that they didn’t take even more from you before they did. They don’t regret the way they treated you. They don’t regret the way they discarded you, and even if you discarded them, they don’t regret what they did to cause you to do that.
How does a narcissist feel when you ignore their Hoover attempts?
Ignoring a narcissist who ignores you only encourages them to hoover. They know that you want respect, dignity, and love so they will exhibit behaviors that fool you into thinking they really have changed. But these behaviors are completely contrived to suck you back in like a Hoover vacuum.
Do narcissists like to be touched?
Narcissists Have a Very Specific Reason They Like to Stay in Touch With Their Exes. . « The central motivator for narcissists is validation, » she explains. « And an ex is often a really interesting place to get it. They constantly need that fresh narcissistic supply, and they kind of know what an ex’s supply is like. »
Do narcissists regret hurting you?
The narcissist may feel such ‘terrible (narcissistic) regret’ that he or she may feign responsibility or remorse, which may even come complete with crocodile tears. Likewise, the narcissist may regret discarding you, if you don’t crawl back to him or her.
Are narcissists aware of what they are doing?
While a non-disordered person considers how their words and actions affect other people, narcissists do not. . Many narcissists, at some point or other, do become aware of the effect their behaviors have on other people, but they are completely indifferent to it.
Do narcissists like to cuddle?
Somatic narcissists love when you cuddle them. They want you to lavish them with affection, to show them that their body is the greatest gift in the world!

What happens when you stand up to a narcissist?

They may also try to manipulate you into feeling guilty or believing that you’re the one being unreasonable and controlling.
Do narcissists enjoy kissing?

Why do narcissist come back when your strong again?
A narcissist is a person who does not feel much empathy towards people. This goes for the people he or she claims to “love”. . Because of this mentality, they usually end up coming back in a person’s life with little respect for the other person’s feelings, and they leave just as easily as they come back.
Why do narcissists hurt the ones they love?
« Narcissists are primed to be abusive because they’re so hypersensitive, and they don’t have empathy, and they don’t have object constancy, » Greenberg said. « So they are primed to take offence and be abusive and not really understand. It’s a lot of work for the non-narcissistic mate. »
Why do narcissists stop texting?
The most likely reason that narcissists are no longer replying to your texts could be that you no longer get controlled and even opposes his decisions. They like to control people and its opposite is happening they ignore you. So, it’s better that you know earlier about their selfishness and self-centred personality.
Do narcissists get upset when you move on?
A Typical Narcissist Feels bad When you Move on
As long as you are sending signals to the narcissist showing that you have not moved on yet, it gives them a sense of self-importance, after all if you can’t move on then it means that the narcissist was so important to you.
Do narcissists forget you?
No Narcissists don’t forget anyone, they just replace you with new supply aka somebody else because they are just bored of you. There is a big difference between forgetting someone and not wanting someone back though.

Over the weekend, WG joined a national coalition of nearly 300 business groups in sending a letter to congressional leadership calling on federal policymakers to provide targeted liability protections to protect essential businesses that have stayed open during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The letter notes that because of remarkable legal uncertainty, essential businesses risk becoming the targets of coronavirus-related lawsuits as federal and state rules and guidance on how to operate have evolved rapidly and at times have created legitimate confusion over even ordinarily simple tasks like cleaning a work site.
“In the face of such uncertainty, our members consistently strive to do the right thing, continually implementing new safety protocols to reduce the risk of transmission among employees and the public in response to updated guidance from the CDC, OSHA and state authorities,” the signatories state.
The letter continues: “Companies doing their best to control the spread of this disease with the limited guidance available deserve legal protection. Congress should not allow good actors to be held liable for events beyond their control. By providing limited and rational safe harbors for good actors, Congress can help ensure that the critical needs of the American people are met during this time of crisis and enable the continued operation of critical infrastructure.”

The great thing about blanching your beans is that you can freeze them and eat fresh tasting green beans all winter long.
First get some green beans. Mine came from my garden but you could use store bought. Refrigerate them if you aren't going to use or freeze them immediately. Don't wash them until you are ready to use them.
Wash them off.
Cut off the ends
Then cut them to whatever size fits your fancy.
Boil a pot of water and them drop them in. Boil about 3-5 minutes depending on the size of the beans.
Pour off hot water and put them immediately into ice cold water. My pictures of the beans in ice water (yes put ice in the water) didn't turn out but I'm sure you can picture it. Keep the beans in the ice water for the same amount of time that they were boiled. So in my case 3 minutes.
Then I pour off the ice water and dry the beans off on paper towels.
Then put them into labeled freezer bags and freeze making sure to lay them flat until frozen. The get all clumped together if you don't. If you have a food saver that would be awesome to use. I don't so I just use freezer bags.

When fans think of Rage Against The Machine, the first word that pops into one’s head is probably not “adorable.” That’s about to change thanks to a viral video of a three-year-old girl named Aubrey.
In a video that was originally shared to Facebook on Sunday by Ujang Ijon, a guitarist who “lives on Labuan Island off the coast of Sabah state in East Malaysia,” Ujang performs a cover of the famous Rage Against The Machine protest anthem with his three-year-old daughter, Aubrey, on lead vocals. While the vocals are a little garbled (hey, she’s three, let’s cut her some slack), she undoubtedly captures the energy of the song—even down to the rebel yell at the end of the first verse.
Watch Aubrey nail the adorable Rage Against The Machine cover below:
Aubrey & Ujang Ijon – “Killing In The Name” [Rage Against The Machine cover]
The viral cover has racked up more than 1.5M views on its original post since this past Sunday as Aubrey continues to capture the hearts of Rage fans everywhere. The cover even got the attention of Rage Against The Machine guitarist Tom Morello, who posted a clip of the performance to his Instagram page with the caption “Quite possible the hardest cover of this song ever… Preach, sista, preach!”

Felicity's Night Shift, American Girl Doll Clothes
Here's the second dress I made for Rebekah's doll. It's Felicity's Night Shift. I downloaded the pattern here. I also made Felicity's School Outfit. Again I'll say, these patterns are a little difficult to follow, but definitely doable if you know how to sew clothes or read patterns. If Rebekah likes them, I'll probably make her more eventually. It's a good thing she just learned how to tie since the neckline has a tie on it!

The ORLEN Group is investing in electric mobility by developing networks and building infrastructure for external customers and public EV charging stations in Poland. The Group’s portfolio includes wall-mounted chargers, AC charging stations and lamp post charging points. It is complemented by the public EV charging network, which is ORLEN Charge that integrates chargers across the ORLEN Group.
ORLEN CHARGE and ORLEN FLOTA are EV charging services for both retail and business customers. The chargers available in the PKN ORLEN network are equipped with three connector types: two DC connectors (CCS and CHAdeMO) and one AC connector (Type 2). Most of the chargers are located at ORLEN petrol service stations. Vehicles can be charged in the ORLEN Charge vehicle charging network, and also as part of the ORLEN Flota programme.
Business customers are offered AC and DC charging stations and wall-mounted chargers. End-to-end service is ensured through technical support in the selection of equipment, implementation of design and construction work, which includes installing and supplying power to the charging station. In addition, the offer includes management and maintenance services for the station, as well as the possibility of including the station in the public ORLEN Charge network.
- Comprehensive service – installation, branding, start-up, maintenance and 24/7 support, including services relating to ORLEN Charge payments;
- Charging stations from reputed manufacturers;
- As one of the largest charging networks in Poland ORLEN Charge is a reliable long-term partner.
An innovative option that completes our range of vehicle charging products are chargers installed in street lamp posts. This solution combines street lighting and electric mobility infrastructure. The power ‘saved’ by upgrading street lighting systems is effectively used to charge electric vehicles. An additional advantage is shorter time required to build the network and the network location itself, which overlaps with the area of demand for EV charging services. The chargers can be connected to the network of any distribution network operator (DSO) and can be installed anywhere in Poland. The target customers for this solution include:
- local governments;
- property developers;
- housing cooperatives and communities;
- tourist and hotel resorts.
The lamp post charging project has won the Wprost Innovators 2020 award in the ‘Energy’ category for Energa Oświetlenie. The service is part of the smart city project.

It’s been four years since Lonelady released debut album Nerve Up, an addictive collection of jaggedly sparse tracks that subtly hooked you in with spider web guitars and covertly complex rhythms.
Returning with new single Groove It Out and announcing new album Hinterland, she’s built on her songwriting talent to create a taster of stuttering samples, razor refrain, and intertwining vocal lines that’s as disco-funk as it is post-punk.
This headlining show at Hackney’s Oslo follows her recently announced February date at Electrowerkz that sold out instantly. Demand is high for a reason, this will be an exceptional event.

Plumbing Manufacturers International Congratulates California’s Adoption of Industry’s Lead-Testing Requirement for Certified Drinking Water Devices
SACRAMENTO, Calif., October 10, 2021 – (BUSINESS WIRE) – Plumbing Manufacturers International (PMI) congratulates California Governor Gavin Newsom and California legislature on passing the Assembly Bill (AB) 100. The AB 100, written by assembly member Chris Holden Adopts the NSF / ANSI / CAN 61 2020 industry standard as the lead test requirement for certified drinking water terminals sold in California.
NSF / ANSI / CAN 61 2020 was developed by the Joint Committee on Drinking Water Additives – System Components, supported by NSF International, and published last year as the new industry standard for the amount of lead that can be leached from sanitary products during testing. The standard reduces the permissible amount of lead that is washed out during product testing by five times – from the previously permissible Q ≤ 5 micrograms (µg) to Q ≤ 1 µg. One microgram is equal to one millionth of a gram, for comparison: a grain of salt is 60 times larger than 1 microgram.
“It is gratifying to see California adopt the NSF 61 requirements and validate the outstanding work of the committee,” said Kerry Stackpole, CEO / Executive Director of PMI. “California’s adoption of this industry standard marks another milestone in innovation in our industry’s ongoing efforts to deliver water-efficient, high-performance sanitary products.”
Products that meet the new requirement are marked with “NSF / ANSI / CAN 61: Q ≤ 1”.
Products that conform to California’s adopted NSF / ANSI / CAN 61 2020 standard are labeled “NSF / ANSI / CAN 61: Q ≤ 1” next to the product’s scannable barcode on the packaging; this wording can also be supplemented by the logo of the certifier for sanitary products. The NSF 61 standard for manufacturers will become mandatory in California on January 1, 2023 under the new law and in the rest of the USA and Canada on January 1, 2024. Products that meet the standard are available on the market immediately. The PMI website, How to Purchase a Low-Lead Faucet or Drinking Water Device, helps consumers identify these compliant products.
The story goes on
Stackpole found that most of the lead in drinking water comes from lead pipes that connect homes and commercial properties to the water network, rather than from plumbing. PMI supports the infrastructure bill currently before the US Congress; the bill provides $ 45 billion for the removal of lead pipe service lines across the country.
The standard was approved by the Council of Public Health Consultants and ratified by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and the Standards Council of Canada (SCC) according to their standard development processes. The joint committee is composed of balanced representatives from the regulatory / public health, manufacturing and consumer sectors.

In the glut of zombie films we've experienced since their resurgence, they've been pitted against slackers, vampires, cops, crooks, but never, not once, cockneys. Enter writer/director Matthias Hoene who, along with co-writer James Moran, is one of the minds behind the horror-action-comedy "Cockneys vs. Zombies."
Moran spoke with explained cockney slang to us as well as bringing legendary British tough guy Alan Ford ("Snatch," "The Long, Good Friday") into a zombie nightmare.
MTV Geek: So, what's the origin story behind this epic matchup between cockneys and zombies?
Matthias Hoene: It was a few years ago--I was working with cockney actors on a shoot for a web series. And when faced with the supernatural, it was hilarious to see how a cockney never shows fear, is never fazed by anything, never loses his sense of humor, and turns around with a shotgun in his hand to say "Alright, handsome, f**k off! [imitates shotgun cocking] Bang!" And I found this cockney attitude so funny and unlike anything we've seen in British horror film that I thought I needed to make a movie about it, with criminals and robbers caught up in a zombie invasion.
Also, I've been living in East London for the last three years, and it's kind of an area that I knew anyway, and I always loved the cockney hangouts--the cafes and the beautiful old gangster hangouts that are scattered throughout East London. But recently, it's been sort of endangered and torn down and developed into anonymous highrises. The area's changing, and I wanted to make this my love declaration to the East End.
Geek: And at the center of this is actor Alan Ford as this hardcase grandpa. Could you talk a little bit about working with him, and using this character actor known for exploring this kind of role?
Hoene: When my screenwriter James Moran and me thought about the lead pensioner, we thought whoever this person is, he needed to symbolize what a cockney is--he needed to be as cockney as you can be. He had to be a person upholding the values of standing up for your family, your community--the end-all of cockneys, if you like.
And we went to Alan Ford because he was the only actor who had that kind of genuineness. And when he read the script, he turned to me and said "Matthias, you wrote this for me, didn't you?" And he also accepted because for him, it's an exciting action her role. He's got a big, heroic arc in this film.
And what's so great about Alan Ford is that he's this big tough guy and of course, if you ever stuck him in a zombie invasion, you'd want to have Alan Ford at your side because he'd protect you like no one else. But at the same time, he's just a really nice gentleman and the most pleasant person to be around. He's a really, really fun to be around. It was great working with him--he's tough on screen, and really, really nice off screen.
Geek: And a large part of the movie involved all of the cast getting tough and arming themselves to the teeth. Were there any special challenges using so many practical explosions and gun effects?
Hoene: Yeah, it was a really big challenge. I think I consciously didn't want to make this film like a contained, small horror movie. I really to give this a lot of the scope, action, and big scenes--to make it epic and show of lots of East London.
When I was on set and trying to shoot all of these gun scenes and even load a bunch of these pensioners onto a boat with zombies coming after them, it was kind of difficult. But also, it wasn't boring to stage these scenes. And some of these shots--like the zombie blowing up in the back of the van--one of these shots takes four hours to do with all of the rehearsals and stunt people and making sure it's going to work out. A lot of time and effort goes into those shots--I'm glad I did them.
I lost my voice at the battle of the docks because it was cold and I didn't have a megaphone. But we got through it and it was great fun to do.
Geek: Now this is the second film you've been involved with that focuses on a cross-section of working class people facing a crisis. You also produced "Tower Block"--what was the appeal of that film, and do you think there's perhaps a connective tissue between the two films?
Hoene: "Tower Block," to be honest, was the result of working with James Moran the writer who wrote both films. He gave me the script while I was filming "Cockneys"... I would have loved to have made it myself, but I gave it to my producers Ronnie Thompson and Mark Lane and they were kind of keen on the material and made it happen. So we all worked as a team on that film.
Both James and Ronnie did a great job of directing it--we all knew each other and put a team effort behind it, basically.
Geek: Could you explain cockney slang to us?
Hoene: [laughs] First, I should apologize, because I didn't put subtitles on the movie.
Cockney rhyming slang is very easy to understand, but we made a conscious effort not to go too crazy with the language so that people would get it. And we made jokes about the slang in the film and tried to coin the first use of "zombie" in the rhyming slang which is "Trafalgar." I won't explain how that works, but it is in the movie and you have to watch how we got to "Trafalgar."
Basically, it's a substitution of words where "apple and pears" means "stairs" and it's a way of cockneys trying to differentiate themselves from other Londoners. And also, back in the day, when they didn't want to be understood by cops or anyone, they'd use those words to have an almost secret language.
Geek: What are you working on next? Are you and James teaming up again?
Hoene: I'm working on something with James at the moment. But in the meantime, I'm developing this science fiction script with an American writer named Ian Shaw and just an hour ago, we sold it to 20th Century Fox, and we're working with a great produced called Hutch Parker who produced "The Wolverine." It's the early days of the project, but I'm hoping the shepherd it to greenlight.
But fingers crossed, you never know.
"Cockneys vs. Zombies" is in limited theatrical release as well as on VOD this weekend from Shout! Factory.


Looking for some help here. I bought a project truck from a kid a while back. He'd swapped a 1992 IDI turbo into a 1990 gasser. He promised to bring me the remaining part, and help me get it running. He's since moved out of state and won't reply to my calls/texts. ANYWAY, what I'm needing right now is to know if I can use the existing under dash wire harness from the gasser (it was a 460/auto. Now it's a 7.3 IDI with manual 5 speed). Please help, because I really want to get "Bo" on the road.

Synergy means that teamwork will produce an overall better result than if each person was working toward the same goal individually.
This is true to anything you want to apply it. The farmer cultivates the wheat and cares for the land. The son carries the wheat when is ready to deliver. The store offers the wheat for the bread makers. The bread makers prepare the wheat into bread. The bread market offers the bread to the families. The families offer the bread in their tables. We eat the bread and sustain our hunger. Everybody wants bread. Everybody makes an effort to make the bread available. Without the wheat, there is no bread. Without the land, there is no wheat. Synergy.
Nick and Cori Ehrhart opened a fitness studio based on a co-op business model, and they called it Synergy. What is the goal? To enjoy a beautiful~ safe ~joyful ~creative space where they can dedicate the self to healing, fitness, community, learning, fun, and share it with others.
What is inspiring about their effort is their simple concept. We all want bread, let’s all do our effort to manifest it. If you are an instructor looking for a space to share your practice, you can make use of the space arranging a very affordable trade that will help pay the monthly expense of the studio and that will help you establish your practice with room for it to be profitable as well. If you are a practitioner looking for alternatives to your practice without having to pay great amounts of money, you can come share your practice with the group; help the teacher pay their share that will help pay the monthly payment of the studio. If you are a fitness representative, you can offer your product so it is available to the right crowd, the practitioners benefit for their access to it, help you pay the costs of your product, helping you help with the cost of the studio. And so on. Beautiful.
Beautiful healthy alternative to the times when it is common to hear how teachers can’t afford to have teaching be their livelihood because studio owners can’t pay much, because their studio rent is too expensive; and times where practitioners think twice about practicing because it costs a lot of money to do so.
At the moment you can find ZUMBA, YOGA, WOMEN ONLY BOOT CAMP, CO-ED GROUP FITNESS CLASSES, MOMMY-BABY PILATES – BRAZILIAN MARTIAL ARTS and probably I am missing something ~ your first class is only $5.00 dollars. If you are a corporation and want to offer the benefit to your employees you can receive 20$ off. IF you are a Sunday person, you can find a donation basis Yoga practice. There is a choice for every lifestyle.
Give SYNERGY a try ~ without the land, there is no bread.

Other buyers comment that the mower feels and look like a toy. It seems flimsy. But they also found it could handle child-swallowing yard growth. One of the coolest features of the Toro Recycler 22-inch Personal Pace Variable Speed Gas Walk Behind Self Propelled Lawn Mower that kept coming up in our research is the blade-brake clutch. This allows you to stop the blade without stopping the motor of the mower which is helpful for moving debris out of the way.
The 190 cc engine allows you to mow at a decent clip and it starts more easily and runs more efficiently than most side-valve engines. Also the rear-wheel drive makes it so you can mow inclines and hills effortlessly. There are more features than we have space to cover here but we would be remiss if we didnt touch on the Versamow system. This system allows you to choose how much grass is mulched and how much is bagged depending on your yards conditions. It also lets you shred leaves so you no longer need to use your leaf blower.
The Honda HRX217VKA is at or near the top of all of the expert best lawn mower lists including Popular Mechanics Top Ten Reviews and Lawn Mower Review. The testers at Consumer Reports gave this model top ratings for handling bagging and mulching and “very good” ratings for ease of use and side discharging. Additionally the reviewer estimated the breakage rate by the fourth year of ownership to be 16% which is well below any of the other mowers they tested.

As the Japanese soccer world mourns the loss of Dettmar Cramer, dubbed “the father of Japanese soccer” for helping develop the game as a coach in the country in the 1960s, former players and officials offered their condolences on Friday.
Cramer passed away on Thursday at age 90. A cause of death has not been revealed, but he had been battling cancer, according to Japanese sources.
“He was a mentor that taught me about life itself, not just soccer,” said Saburo Kawabuchi, Japan Football Association’s honorary president.
Cramer came to Japan in 1960 and was hired as a coach to help strengthen the national team ahead of the 1964 Tokyo Olympics. Japan reached the last eight.
He worked to establish the Japan League, the forerunner of the J. League, in 1965. In 1968, Japan won the bronze medal at the Mexico City Olympics.
“Before the bronze medal he told us ‘show me your Yamato damashii (Japanese fighting spirit),’ ” former striker Ryuichi Sugiyama said. “As a trainer, he was fantastic but he was also engaging as a human being.”
In 2005, Cramer was inducted into Japan soccer’s Hall of Fame.
Cramer led Bayern Munich to two consecutive European Cups in the 1970s and one Intercontinental Cup. He also coached in Egypt, Malaysia, Saudi Arabia, Greece and Thailand.
Popularly known as “Napoleon” for his small stature, Cramer also coached Eintracht Frankfurt, Bayer Leverkusen and Hertha Berlin in the Bundesliga.
The German Football Federation said Cramer worked in more than 90 countries.

- Rinse and dry the fresh peppermints and lemon balm leaves. Put the peppermints in a bottle with the stems up.
- Add lemon balm leaves and cloves and fill everything up with the corn brandy.
- Close the bottle tightly and let the liquor brew in a warm place for 20 days. Then take out the sprigs of mint and taste the mixture.
- If the peppermint taste is intense enough, filter the mixture. If a more intense taste is preferred, fresh sprigs of mint can be added to the mixture again. Try the approach again after a few days.
- Dissolve the sugar completely in 150 milliliters of warm water. Sweeten the filtered liqueur mixture with the sugar water solution, adding more or less to the solution depending on your taste.
- Let the finished liqueur mature in the bottle in a warm place for a while.
- The longer the peppermint liqueur is stored, the more harmonious it becomes in taste.
- VARIANT: Prepare the liqueur with fennel green instead of peppermint.
