Link noted between Foothills, streetcar and OHSU
Streetcar and Foothills supporters are touting the proposed OHSU Schnitzer Campus planned for the South Waterfront as a key part of the vision for Lake Oswego. A 2008 Portland Streetcar document projects that the South Waterfront area will see up to 10,000 jobs - mostly professional - by 2015.
'The impact is going to be huge if they choose (to live in) Lake Oswego,' Judie Hammerstad, former Lake Oswego mayor, said at the chamber forum breakfast March 3. '(It) has a profound effect on us and we need to be ready for that now.'
Those professionals will want to put their children in good schools and will be attracted by the quality of life that Lake Oswego offers, she posited. Foothills is the perfect location for them, as the end of the proposed streetcar line and the only undeveloped district in the city of Lake Oswego.
Hammerstad, a big supporter of a streetcar extension from Portland to Lake Oswego, and Portland Streetcar, Inc., executive director Rick Gustafson debated streetcar opponents Len Bergstein, a Portland lobbyist, and Jim Bolland, a resident of First Addition, at a Lake Oswego Chamber of Commerce forum.
Bergstein pointed out that the development is highly subsidized and that it could be slow going from construction to completion. The master plan for the campus anticipates that construction will be over a 20- to 30-year period.
The 300,000-square foot Oregon Health and Sciences University/Oregon University System Collaborative Life Sciences Building is slated for groundbreaking late this year or early 2012 with a projected opening in 2014.
Last fall Williams/Dame and Erlandson - Dyke Dame and Homer Williams are also working on Foothills planning - were awarded the contract to fill the building with private bioscience space. But recently, the developers withdrew from the project due to an inability to agree on terms that worked for both parties. As a result the building will decrease from eight stories to seven.
A sign that Bergstein isn't reading as a good one.
'The private equity partner agreed to put in $14 million but the terms were not acceptable to OHSU,' Dame told the Lake Oswego City Council at a recent meeting on Foothills, responding to comments that the partners could not raise enough money.
'There's a big difference between that and couldn't raise equity.'
There will still be retail space on the bottom floor, however, and the plan is still to include some private bioscience space on another part of the campus.
In total, the Schnitzer Campus is planned on a 19-acre plot of land with a total of 2.2 million square feet of building space. The campus would be situated between the Marquam and Ross Island bridges along Moody Avenue, where the Portland Streetcar already runs. The streetcar line currently ends at the base of the Portland Tram, which links OHSU's Center for Health and Healing with the Marquam Hill Campus.
It will aim to be 70 percent institutional space and 30 percent private. 'Our intention is to move all four of our schools to the Schnitzer campus over time,' said Brian Newman, OHSU director of campus planning and development. The schools are in medicine, dentistry, nursing and pharmacy; the science engineering program will also likely be moved.
The campus will also have space for some Portland State University science programs.
At a February update to city council, developer Matt Brown, who is paid by Williams/Dame and White to work on the city's framework plan for Foothills, said that OHSU's plan fits within the projected population growth that the city of Lake Oswego might expect.
'The wheels are beginning to turn in South Waterfront and the jobs that will be established there,' he said. 'So when you talk about 11,000 on the hill and another 10,000 jobs in South Waterfront -that's a significant resource that's moving closer and closer to Lake Oswego.'
Lake Oswego's own visioning documents support an effort to find the space for new residents.
The Comprehensive Plan, which is currently being updated, projects around 7,000 new residents by 2035 and 3,400 to 4,700 new housing units.
Brown told the council that the city needs housing for working singles, small young families and baby boomers who want to downsize but stay in the community.
'Lake Oswego should explore policies that support higher density infill and redevelopment near downtown that will help attract and retain seniors and young families,' he said.
Gustafson provided some historical context about the streetcar's ability to boost the economy. Since the first line opened in 2001 in the Pearl District, the area has seen $4 billion in investment around it, he told the business community at the chamber forum.
The ridership projections initially were also very modest. It was projected to carry up to 4,200 passengers a day, according to an Metro analysis. Now it averages 12,000 a day.
Likewise, the streetcar's projected ridership does not include development in Foothills but is based on the areas current zoning.
Because of this, however, Gustafson said that Foothills, which would create more development, could create more congestion.
'Do we want to grow up or out?' asked Hammerstad. 'Lake Oswego is in danger of stagnating … We need to revitalize this town, and we have the tools to do it. This is our one development tool. Let's climb on board. Let's do it.'
The streetcar proponents say that the line extention could spur between $1 and $1.5 billion of investment, and provide 24,000 jobs around the stations.
A few audience members at the forum questioned the opponents, asking what their vision was for the city.
Bolland said that he prefers projects that fit with the 'village character' of the town. 'I tend to not like things that are big scale. We have a habit … to think really big instead of doing smaller projects.'
He feels that the property owners could at any time ask for a zone change on their own if they were interested in redeveloping.
Using the streetcar to create development in Foothills is a very bad idea, according to Bergstein. 'We're spending $450 million to make welfare queens out of developers in Foothills.'

What is the best way to prepare a Disney Park Disneyland Churro Recipe? For starters, you need a deep fryer, cornmeal, and some dough. There are a few different recipes but here are some great ones that you may want to try first.
You may be familiar with this dessert at your favorite chain restaurant or perhaps one of the original Disneyland deserts. The key to these delicious treats is the butter and the dipping sauce. We have been eating them for years and we feel pretty good about the secret. So, let’s go!
This is a favorite original recipe from the Disney Parks. It is not far from the original recipe from a store that carries the world-famous Big Tex store. You may be familiar with the location as it was the same one where the original chips were produced. One thing to remember is that you do not want to use large chocolate chips.
If you are not familiar with the chocolate chip cookie dough, it can be used with other cookies like fruit or breakfast bars. In this recipe, you mix the chocolate chips and then dip the dough in the chocolate before dipping in the chocolate. To prepare it you will need a deep fryer, a large round cookie cutter, or a baby food spoon.
Fascinating Disneyland Churro Recipe Tactics That Can Help Your Business Grow
If you are on a budget you can purchase lollipops at your local grocery store and add them to your canna luau. Now you can add an ice cream float to the canna luau and have a fun family affair. The original recipe for lollipops came from our friends at Moe’s. They come in many flavors and sizes and the kids really love them. This recipe is quite easy to make and does not take long to prepare.
You can make them using chocolate dipped in anything you choose. Instead of plain chocolate, you can sprinkle white chocolate chips or even dark chocolate chips. Your imagination is the limit and the children will enjoy all of them. Again, this can be a fairly inexpensive dish and you do not need a deep fryer.
If you are feeling a little adventurous try making them that have a familiar taste. Just dip them in chocolate and voila, your classic Disney Park Churro Recipe is ready to be served. Do not use large chocolate chips but small dark chocolate chips or milk chocolate chips. We know that our kids are not big chocolate fans but there are so many varieties available that they will love whatever you put in them.
Once you have perfected the Disneyland Churro Recipe, you will want to make some that is inspired by the first Disney Park’s famous dessert. After all, it is one of the most popular attractions at the parks. If you decide to use honey there are a few different ways to prepare it and the key is to use the correct amount of sugar.
You can use brown sugar or white sugar but the smaller chips will work better. All you need to do is dip the dough in the sugar and then dip into the chocolate. You can dip them in the chocolate and in the sugar at the same time if you like.
If you like your favorites you can use the brown sugar for the desert and the white sugar for your coffee or tea. Do you want the sweetness of the honey or the tang of the chocolate chips?
Here is one for the kids that love apples and apple crisp. You can cut up the apples and stuff them into your favorite sandwiches. Then you just need to dip them in melted butter and add some sprinkles for the perfect treat.
The secret to this recipe is the deep fryer. You will need a deep fryer with a lid and a funnel. Keep your guests happy and the crowds on their toes by serving them the best tastes of Disney World.

Cover of “Misery” by the Maine
“Tell me what do you see, when you’re looking at me?”
Why I Like It:
This is a very pretty song. I love this song and “Black Butterflies and Deja Vu” by the Maine. When I first heard this song, I felt it. I knew how it felt to feel like you are the problem in your own life. Also, not wanting to do anything to change your life. There was a time where I was content in my own misery. But, I soon grew to realize that wasn’t what I wanted. I had always wanted more but was afraid of rejection and failure. I guess that’s why I started posting anonymously? I gig and do stuff in real life too, but this just provided me a safe space to share whatever I wanted.
What’s the cause of your misery?

The special early-maturing cowpea is one of the major summer vegetable production varieties in the southern region. It has an area of â€‹â€‹more than 1,225,000 mu. In recent years, due to the serious harm caused by weeds in the field, the economic benefits of the early-maturing cowpea have dropped drastically. Herbicides have been used for weed control in some areas, which has led to excessive pesticide residues in products and reduced food safety. To this end, Hunan Institute of Special Vegetables carried out experiments on the ecological regulation of weeds in the special early-maturing cowpea fields and their effects on yield. The test results show that the best effect of weed control can be achieved by black mulch treatment. For cowpea growth and yield formation, cowpea in black mulch treatment grows rapidly, foliage is lush, leaves are dark green, and the growth period is long, and the yield is significantly higher than other treatments by more than 10%, whereas the initial flowering period of the white mulch treatment is early Black plastic film processing, and the earlier high yield. Choosing to use the ecological regulation method of weeds, for the farmers, to improve the early economic benefits can be covered with white plastic film, while the use of black plastic film coverage is suitable for large-scale cowpea industry or seed production. Now the test report is described as follows: I. Materials and Methods 1. Test Material: This test uses a special early-maturing cowpea 99-1 variety. 2. Test methods: The test was set to four treatments: black plastic film covering, white plastic film covering, manual weeding, and no weeding treatment (CK). Each treatment has 4 cells, each cell has an area of â€‹â€‹4.5 meters and 1.5 meters, and the cells are arranged randomly. The growth and regularity of cowpea and the hazards of weeds were recorded. Manual weeding is done once every 10 days. The growth of cowpea and the growth regularity of weeds were recorded once every 5 days before scab, and once every 3 days after scab, the production and length of cowpea were recorded once. The test site was set up in the Biological Park of the Hunan University of Arts and Science, Changde City, Hunan Province. The soil in the test site was newly filled sand and gravel soil with low barrenness, low organic matter, and low fertility. Sowing on March 31, 2005, base fertilizer: urea 7.5 kg per mu, compound fertilizer 25 kg, superphosphate 50 kg. The seedlings were raised on April 6 and the growth of the plants and the formation of leaves were recorded on April 15. The formation of agronomic traits and yield was observed and recorded on June 4. From April 6th to July 7th, we observed the hazards of weeds and conducted data compilation and statistical analysis. II. Results and analysis 1. Analysis of the hazards of weeds in cowpea fields: The growth and damage of weeds covered with black plastic film in the four treatments, the damage of the weeds was lighter after the white plastic film was covered, and the weeds were manually weeded and not weeded. There are many species, of which weeds do not have the largest number of weeds, they are the most complex and the most serious. From April 15th to June 4th, the number of sedges in each treatment was the largest and the area was the largest. After June 4, Setaria viridis was the main weed and covered other weeds. The height of Setaria viridis covered by white mulch film and no weed control was more than 2 meters, which seriously affected the normal growth and yield of cowpea. It also inhibited the growth of other weeds. 2. Growth of Kidney Bean: The experiment showed that from April 15 to May 25, the treatment with black mulch covered the kidney with the best growth, with the largest number of leaves, dark green leaves, and late yellowing. White mulch film coverage and manual weeding growth followed by green leaves, yellowing earlier. Weeding treatment is the worst and the leaf color is light green. When the cowpea growth period approaches the end, the leaves first yellow; in the initial flowering period, the white plastic film covers the first flowering on May 15, followed by the black plastic film treatment, manual weeding treatment, and Herbicidal treatments have been successively flowering; at the beginning of the flood season, white mulch treatment took the lead on May 25, and all the communities on May 30 had blossomed and scarmed. 3. Formation of cowpea production: From the results of the trial, the yield of pre-maturing cowpea in the early and late stages was significantly lower than that in the middle period, indicating that the formation of the yield was mainly concentrated in the middle period, that is, June 16-25. The yield of black mulch film was significantly higher than that of the other three treatments, which was 35.4% higher than the non-herbicizing treatment. The average length of the pods was 76.5 cm, and the longest was 98 cm. The white mulch film coverage increased by 26.2% compared to no weeding treatment, and the average length was 74.1. In centimeters, the longest is 92 cm. Manual weeding increases yield by 20.9% over non-weeding treatment. The average length of goose is 76 cm, and the longest is 90 cm. The minimum weeding output is the lowest. The average length is only 72.1 cm. 87 cm. Therefore, the use of black mulch to cover the cultivation of cowpea not only increases the yield, but also has good quality and less rat tail. The results showed that the early yield of special early cowpea was followed by white mulch film coverage, black mulch film coverage, manual weeding, and no weed control, and the mulching film treatment had significant differences compared to manual weeding and no weed control, but there was no significant difference between manual weeding and no weed control. Analysis of variance found that there was no significant difference in the yield of this precocious cowpea in the middle and late stages and the whole growth period. Therefore, special attention should be paid to the early yield of special early-season cowpea. There are few early cowpeas on the market and the economic benefit is high. White plastic film has great significance for vegetable farmers. However, in terms of long-term interest, if it is used for large-scale cowpea production, or for seed production, black plastic film coverage is the best choice.

Sometimes you can take a great cake and turn it into fabulous muffins. And this is one of those times. With a few subtle tweaks and a slight adjustment of temperature and time, I have turned our Plum and Coconut cake into a delicious batch of Healthy Coconut Muffins. I topped my batch with fresh nectarine because they are at the peak of their season but you could really substitute for any in season fruit. These muffins have the added benefit of Nourishing Bubs fruit puree to add fibre and nutrients. The recipe is nut free so they are also perfect for school lunchboxes!
Rated 4.0 stars by 1 users
30-36 mini muffins
Preheat oven to 180°C. Line a mini muffin tin with patty papers.
Combine the defrosted Nourishing Bubs puree, yoghurt, eggs, and honey. Whisk to combine.
Add flour, baking powder and desiccated coconut. Mix well. Finally add in melted coconut oil. Work quickly if weather is cold to prevent coconut oil solidifying and uneven dispersion through mixture.
Pour into prepared pans and decorate with nectarine wedges. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden and cooked through.
Due to presence of honey, recipe is not suitable for infants under the age of 1.

Body paint is applied to a model.
This may look like an ornate Mexican sugar skull but a closer inspection reveals it is actually made up of cleverly painted people.
The incredible artwork is comprised of seven nude women who have each been covered in sparkling white body paint and brightly coloured patterns.
When the models all get into position they form a perfect sugar skull - the brightly coloured icon of the Day of the Dead festival, a Mexican tradition.
The idea for the eye-catching piece was thought up by Rene Rodriguez, a photographer in Los Angeles, USA.

LIBYAPROSPECT – London
The European Council has agreed to extend the planning of the EU Border Assistance Mission (EUBAM) Libya until the 21 August 2017. The EU Council also approved a €17million budget for the period between 22 August 2016 to 21 August 2017.
Mission EUBAM Libya has been designed to be a part of the EU’s approach to supporting Libya’s transition to a stable and democratic state. EUBAM is mandated to plan for a future EU mission which would provide advice in the areas of criminal justice, migration, border security and counter-terrorism.
The EU Council claims that any future mission in Libya would seek to address aspects of law enforcement of irregular migration, smuggling of migrants and human trafficking of migrants while promoting long-term efforts for security reform and governance. They highlight that this will only take place at the request of the legitimate Libyan authorities “with their full ownership.”

Newcastle United Reserves’ four game unbeaten run came to an end tonight, when Wigan Reserves won fairly comfortably 2-0.
Adam Sadler – Newcastle fielded a young side
Wigan played quite an experienced team and Nigeria international Julius Aghahowa scored after just 17 minutes to put Wigan ahead as he beat goalkeeper Forster low into the corner of the net.
England under-17 striker Ryan Donaldson almost equalized immediately when his close range effort was only inches wide. Then midfielder Mark Doninger went close with a free kick before the interval came with Wigan still ahead by a single goal.
But after 54 minutes Callum Morris put into his own goal as he challenged for the ball around the penalty spot.
Wigan manager Steve Bruce was at the game to see some of his players returning from injury. In the second half Newcastle goalkeeper Fraser Fraser Forster made a couple of very good saves to keep the score reasonable.
Then just before the end captain David Edgar came close following a well placed James Troisi free-kick.

Volkswagen Pop-Top Camper Model Overview
The following write-up is designed to clarify the years and terminology associated with Volkswagen Campers from 1968-2003. Included are some basic descriptions of their body styles, interior layout, power plants, and when VW made major changes. This is meant to be a helpful guide. It may contain minor errors and we may add or delete portions of it's text at any time.
1968-1971: These are VW Buses fitted with a 1600cc VW "upright" type 1 engine. Year models 1968-1970 were basically the same. The 1971 is special because it has a "dual port" engine (about a whopping 58 hp instead of about 50 hp), and front power assisted disc brakes. You can spot this year right off the bat because they have the more common narrow 112mm bolt-pattern road wheel used all the way through 1991, that uses the more mdern, flatter hub cap. The earlier Buses (1970 and older) have the old VW wide-pattern 5-bolt wheel that accepts the taller, "baby moon" style hub cap. Other than that, and the shape of the side markers (round on earlier models, wrectangular on later models) they look pretty much the same as the 68-71.
1972-1979: You can spot a 1972 and newer Bus easily by the larger, tall narrow tail lights, as opposed to the small oval-like tail lights used from about 1960 to 1971. These years are fitted with the VW "pancake" type 4 engine. These Buses are commonly referred to as the "Porsche-powered" Bus because it has the same engine that was used in the Porsche 914 from 1970-1976. However, the truth is that the 914 Porsche was VW powered, not the other way around. Funny how rumors get started.... The 1972 and 1973 models were 1700cc with dual carburetors, the 1974 was 1800cc with dual carbs, the 1975 was 1800cc with "EFI" (Electronic Fuel Injection), and the 1976-1979 were 2000cc EFI's. The pop-top on the Bus Westy changed in 1974 from a front-tipping roof to a rear-flipping roof (like all Vanagon Westy’s have). As a rule of thumb, the newest Bus Westy is the best. The 1979 model is the best one. It is the only Bus that came with electronic fuel injection with Lambda (oxygen sensor) controlled mixture, electronic ignition, and hydraulic valves all in the same vehicle (California models only).
VW VANAGON CAMPERS
1980-1983: The Vanagon was introduced in 1980 with the same 2000cc EFI engine that was used in the last of the Buses. These air cooled Vanagons, although a great improvement over their Bus predecessors, are the worst of the Vanagons. The 2000cc air cooled engine was simply not up to the task of pushing around an even bigger, heavier box. Typical engine life is about 90,000 miles. Additionally, the first stab at the 4-speed shifter system was a complete failure and was totally re-designed with the introduction of the gasoline water-cooled model in late 1983. A good example of one of these Westy’s will run between $5000 and $7500
1982-1983 Diesel-powered Vanagon: VW offered the Vanagon with the VW Rabbit water-cooled diesel engine for two (thank god) short years. Now, we at GoWesty love diesel-powered vehicles don’t get me wrong. I own four diesel-powered vehicles, three of them VW’s. However, what the hell was VW thinking when they put a 48hp 1600cc non-turbo diesel engine into this vehicle? It is simply amazing. We have converted six of these vehicles to the larger, stouter 1900cc turbo-diesel power plant with great success. They are strong running, and produce about 30% better fuel economy than a typical gasoline powered Vanagon. However, these vehicles have many of the shortcomings of all the older Vanagons (the shifter system for example), and the cost and trouble of converting one of these to the newer turbo diesel power plant is formidable. A nice Diesel westy with a 1.9 turbo engine will run between $15,000 and $25,000
1983-1985: The Vanagon was introduced in year model 1983 with a water-cooled “Wasserboxer” or “Waterboxer” (for all of us English-speaking folk) engine in North America. These first water boxer engines were 1900cc and had “Digijet” EFI. The basic design of the Waterboxer is solid. It was the culmination of some 40 years of experience VW had with the horizontally opposed, four-cylinder engine design. The Waterboxer is basically made in the same external dimensions as a VW Type 1 engine, with the internal displacement and main bearing design of the Type 4 engine, and water (instead of air) cooled. The first Waterboxer Vanagons had many problems with the cooling system. First of all, VW didn't realize until about two years into production that there was a problem with the phosphate in the coolant they were using. The wrong coolant formula caused the cylinder heads to corrode rapidly at the area where the water-jacket rubber seal (often incorrectly referred to as the “head gasket”) and cylinder head come into contact. Most engines were leaking coolant within the first couple of years, or about 40,000 miles. This stigma has plagued the Waterboxer design ever since, even though the problem was essentially solved early on. With care given to using a non-phosphate coolant, and regular 2-year flushing of the system, there is absolutely no problem whatsoever. We have seen Waterboxer Vanagons with up to 290,000 miles come into our shop completely original, the engines never having been disassembled. The rest of the problems with the cooling system were solved with the introduction of the 1986 2100cc Vanagon. You can pick up a good used 83-85 Westy for between $5000 and $10,000.
1986-1991: These are the best of the Vanagons. They are easily identified by their rectangular (instead of round) headlights. The ‘86 and ‘87’s had smaller steel bumpers, the ‘88-‘91’s had larger fiberglass bumpers and an added ventilation duct at the rear of each of the rear side windows. Many people think that these Vanagons were better because of the increase in displacement from 1900cc to 2100cc, but in fact this was the least important change. Indeed, the two engines are essentially identical in construction and design, with the exception of a longer stroke crankshaft (74mm instead of 69mm, increasing displacement to 2110cc instead of 1915cc), and an improved #1 main bearing design. The more important changes were: Improved exhaust, ignition, fuel injection (Digifant), brakes, and (most importantly) COOLING systems. The cooling system was COMPLETELY re-worked for 1986 and stayed basically unchanged through the end of 1991 production. The new cooling system had fewer parts, and was much easier to bleed and maintain than the earlier system. Furthermore, the newer engine case with the better #1 main bearing design was also slightly bigger inside enabling the displacement to be increased even further than 2110cc. As a rule of thumb, I tell folks to stay away from Vanagons with round headlights. The price difference between a clean 1985 camper and a 1986 camper is usually small, whereas the later is a much better vehicle indeed. Nice ‘86-‘87 Westy’s run about $12-18k, ‘88-‘89’s run about $14-20k, and ‘90-‘91’s run about $16-24k
1986-1991 Syncro (4WD) Vanagon: VW offered the Vanagon in a full time all wheel drive version called the Syncro. It was offered in passenger van, Weekender, and Camper versions (but not the in MV). These models all command a much higher price tag. These all wheel drive Vanagons are way cool, but way expensive not only to purchase, but to maintain as well. They cost $5,000 and $10,000 more than the exact same non-syncro vehicle to purchase, and EVERYTHING about them is more difficult and expensive to repair. My advice is to stay away from the Syncro unless you REALLY want all wheel drive, and the word BUDGET is NOT part of your vocabulary.
VW EUROVAN CAMPERS
1993-1994: The only VW pop-top models offered in the USA in 1993 and 1994 was the Westfalia Weekender Multi-Van (MV). These vehicles were the same as the regular passenger vans, except they had an interior and pop-top installed by Westfalia. However, these were weekenders, without sink, frig, or stove. They had two rear-facing seats, one fixed seat behind the driver with a slide-out electric cooler under it on pop-top versions only, and the other behind the passenger seat that is easily removable (both removable on the non-pop-top version). The venerable VW/Audi inline 5-cylinder 140 hp engine powered all the 1993-1994 models. This is the same engine that was used in the Audi 5000 since about 1977. They were available in either 5-speed manual or 4 speed electronically controlled automatic. This set-up was discontinued in 1995 and re-introduced in 1997 with a V6 and made basically unchanged through end of production in 2003. The V6 was not offered as a 5-speed manual.
1995-1996: The first Eurovan full-campers (EVC's) were available in the USA starting in 1995, and were Winnebago camper conversions. Although there theoretically were 1996 models that were presumably the same as the 1995 models, all of the 5-cylinder EVC's we have seen at GoWesty have all been 1995 models. We have never seen a 1996 model. All EVC's are based on an extended delivery-van version which is 15.5 inches longer than the regular Eurovan CL, MV, and GLS models. They were delivered to Winnebago basically bare inside from the behind the front seats (the front seats are VW, everything back from there on the inside is Winnebago), but fully loaded with all creature comfort options (AC, cruise, power everything). Winnebago then converted them to a pop-top camper. These early Winnie campers had the same power plant as the 93/94 regular Eurovan models, the same VW/Audi 5-cylinder in-line engine that was used in the Audi 5000 and VW Quantum models. These 5-cylinder EVC's were available with 5-speed manual or 4-speed automatic transaxles. In general, you want to stay away from the 95/96 models unless you HAVE TO have a stick-shift Eurovan. The manual trans options was only available in 1995/1996. If you don't HAVE TO have a manual trans, then get a V6 EVC FOR SURE.
1997-2000: In 1997 VW switched to the 139 HP/172 ft-lb “VR6”, 12 valve V6 and dropped the 5-speed option. This new engine was more reliable than even the highly reliable 5-cylinder, and it DOES NOT have a timing belt to maintain! The interior fabric pattern although still basically gray, changed from a thin-stripped arrangement to little triangles. In 2000 the interior fabric changed again to a circular pattern, and all the interior ABS plastic changed to a lighter color gray. The interior stayed the same from 2000 through to the end of production in 2003. From 1997-on, dual air bags became standard. However, the glove box disappeared.
2001-2003: These were the best of the EVC's. In 2001 the VR6 was redesigned with all new engine management system, 4 valves per cylinder instead of 2 (24 valves total instead of 12), with variable cam timing and individual coils for each spark plug, eliminating the need for high tension "spark plug wires". The HP jumped an amazing 45% to 201HP, and the engine was even more reliable. It should be noted that the engine was not any larger in displacement but rather remained the same at 2.8 liters. Therefore the engine's torque output only increased to by 8 ft-lbs to 180, only 5%. So, the seat of the pants feel between the 1997-2000 models and the 2001-2003 models is not very much different, and in fact the lower HP engine is quite satisfactory. I once towed a Vanagon Westy on a tow dolly behind a 2000 EVC from Portland back to Los Osos, California. Without even shifting the transaxle manually I could travel the speed limit up and down all the grades and cruise at 90 on the flats! Now THAT'S PLENTY of power. With the introduction of the higher HP engine, the 15-inch road wheel was replaced with a 16-inch wheel to make room for larger brakes. Additionally, a rear sway bar was added and the rear suspension was raised about 2". Other than that, it didn’t change noticeably outwardly. Indeed, a 1997 EVC fitted with 16" wheels looks just like a 2003. All V6 Eurovans should have the original plastic impeller water pump replaced with one that has a steel impeller. That is pretty much the ONLY part on a VR6 engine that fails prematurely and suddenly, and can cause catastrophic overheating and engine melt down. A new water pump with steel impeller is only about $80!
The Achilles Heel of the Eurovan is the Automatic Transmission.

U.S. Residential Landline Voice Displacement Forecast, 2016–2020
This IDC study examines the evolving displacement of landline home phones by mobile devices in the United States for 2016–2020 forecast period and updates the previous forecast published in March 2015. IDC forecasts the percentage of U.S. telephony households that forgo their home landline phone in favor of relying solely on wireless service and revisits the key drivers and inhibitors of this trend. We compare the new projections with our previous forecast and provide guidance to wireline and wireless providers grappling with the landline displacement phenomenon."The ubiquity of wireless services and growing consumer usage of mobile devices in the home are driving consumers to cut the landline home phone cord," said Amy Lind, research manager, U.S. Consumer Multiplay Services. "Still, consumers' plans to go mobile only are tapering slightly as the landline home phone remains a relevant service for many consumers, particularly those that value the reliability and quality of service that is available with a landline voice service."

The Marine Parkway-Gil Hodges Memorial Bridge, which helped turn an isolated area into a key recreational destination in the city and sparked the growth of the Rockaways, is celebrating its 75th anniversary.
Connecting the borough of Brooklyn from the southern end of Flatbush Avenue to Jacob Riis Park in Queens, the bridge opened to traffic July 3, 1937. It was the linchpin in a plan to turn Jamaica Bay and the Rockaway peninsula into the city’s newest recreational and residential community and to connect the area to the new Belt Parkway roadway system.
The span’s diamond jubilee is being celebrated with the opening of an exhibit of historic photographs from the MTA Bridges and Tunnels’ special archive collection at the Queens Public Library’s Rockaway branch, at 116-15 Rockaway Beach Blvd. The exhibit will be on view weekdays at the library and on weekends at the Rockaway Artists Alliance at the Rockaway Center for the Arts in Fort Tilden throughout July.
“For 75 years this bridge has brought people to new homes, helped them commute to work, deliver goods, grow their small businesses and allowed millions to experience the joy of cool ocean breezes, but most of all it has helped expand and strengthen the communities it continues to serve,” said MTA Chairman and Chief Executive Joseph Lhota.
At 3,840 feet from end to end, the Marine Parkway Bridge was the longest vertical lift span for vehicular traffic in the world when built and remains the longest in North America today.
The center lift span, which rises to 145 feet above water when lifted, is raised more than 100 times a year to accommodate marine traffic traveling between Jamaica Bay and the Atlantic Ocean, including both the Space Shuttle Enterprise this year and the British Airways Concorde in 2008, which were floated on barges beneath the bridge en route to their permanent home at the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum.
Contractor crews from American Bridge Co., of Pennsylvania, worked 24 hours a day, seven days a week to comply with city Parks Commissioner Robert Moses’ edict to have the bridge opened in time for July 4, 1937. They beat the deadline by a day and the bridge opened with a 500-car motorcade led by Mayor Fiorello La Guardia and Moses.
In 1978, the name of hometown hero Gil Hodges was added to the bridge, honoring the Brooklyn Dodgers first baseman and World Champion New York Mets manager, who lived in Brooklyn during his playing years.
“We hope the community and visitors to the Rockaways will take the opportunity to view these historic photos that give a glimpse back to the roots of what are now some of New York City’s most vibrant communities,” said MTA Bridges and Tunnels President Jim Ferrara.
The bridge has a total of 45 employees, including maintenance and operations supervisors, lieutenants, sergeants, Bridge and Tunnel officers and support staff.

Shining a Light at the End of the Tunnel: Guiding Considerations for a Safe, Accessible and Equitable COVID-19 Vaccination Framework in Ontario
A COVID-19 vaccination strategy needs to include defining and prioritizing populations to ensure the gradually available supply is distributed with transparent criteria that consider protecting those most vulnerable. It must also include plans and guidance for vaccine distribution and administration that consider the specifics of each different vaccine and the different avenues for administration available and/or advisable in different phases of vaccination.Essential infrastructure in this strategy must include surveillance and evaluation to ensure:
- Ontario has the data to understand where vaccination is and is not reaching populations•Individuals are receiving all required doses
- Monitoring and responding to adverse events
- Plans and resources for public education,such as vaccine hesitancy,that reach all segments of the population with clear and culturally appropriate information to ensure that the public feels comfortable receiving the vaccine and understands its benefits as well as its potential limitations.
While current vaccines have been shown to protect those vaccinated from experiencing signs and symptoms of the virus, it is not known if they also prevent its spread. Therefore,protective measures (such as masking, physical distancing, hand and respiratory hygiene) will remain imperative even for those vaccinated to ensure Ontarians are protected as much as possible.This paper lays out considerations for each of these components to support the development of Ontario’s COVID-19 vaccine strategy based on the insights and expertise of Ontario’s physicians and informed by consultation with key health system stakeholders.These recommendations are intended to begin this important dialogue and will require refinement as more information becomes available.


Spotify will stop working in Russia on April 11. Users will be able to download data or delete their account, but that’s it.
It is unclear at this time whether Spotify will be available in Russia again. According to the company’s employees, all users will be notified if the situation changes. Spotify has announced that users with a Russian account who are outside the country will be able to change the region. The service warned that Premium subscribers will most likely not be able to change the country until April 11.
11 апреля Spotify приостанавливает работу в России. Это значит, что больше нельзя будет воспользоваться сервисами на сайте и в приложении. Мы подготовили FAQ. Надеемся, там ты найдёшь ответы на все вопросы. Ты также можешь обратиться к нам на странице поддержки. Твой Spotify💚
— SpotifyRussia (@SpotifyRussia) April 7, 2022
The first information that Spotify will suspend all its business in Russia appeared in late March 2022. Thus, the service will stop working in Russia less than two years after its launch in the country. Prior to that, the service only temporarily stopped selling subscriptions in the country.
Spotify is launching another new feature. The latest Spotify feature has started the testing phase and is now available to a limited number of users. Theoretically, this should help listeners significantly expand their musical worldview, like a number of other functions implemented in the last few months.
WhatHiFi reports that the new Featured Curators system recommends custom playlists compiled by popular Spotify influencers, selected by the company.
This is another long-awaited extension of the already great features of the Spotify playlist, and although it is still unknown whether it will help most users find new music to their liking, it is at least an interesting way to draw attention to songs and albums recommended by famous music lovers.

----- Message from Philadelphia teacher to NYCED News listserveA pox on Jerry Jordan and especially former President Ted Kirsch of the Philadelphia Federation of Teachers for allowing the Commonwealth of PA to take over the School District of Philadelphia.A special mention to the wife of Ted Kirsch who had the second Charter School in Philadelphia; especially so since Ted was still "advocating" for the rank and file of the PFT as our President.Please note Ted Kirsch, President of the Philadelphia Federation of Teachers, quit the very next day after Paul Vallas left Philadelphia for New Orleans to assume leadership of the PA AFT.
How many incidents do we need to show that teacher union leaders are in bed with the enemy? So here is Ted Kirsch, the President of the Philly union whose wife opens a charter school and then he becoems head of the state AFT. I don't know anything about him but I will bet he is an ally of Randi and Mulgrew and crew. Thank goodness for CORE in Chicago as the lone bulwark against handing over our public school system to privatizers. And of course the amazing parent activists connected to Parents Across America, with Helen Gym (see below) in Philly as a great rep.
I remember meeting someone from the Philly union at the AFT convention in Seattle who was an undercover dissident and told us how similar the union leaders there were to Unity Caucus. Yes, there are Unity Caucus Klones all over the nation – Vichyites – Quislings. If you are not aware why I use these terms go and check them out.
I am more and more convinced that those who stay on the sidelines inside the union are in essence supporting the Unity sell-out because silence is used by Unity as evidence of support. [AD: MORE meets in an open and democratic process this Saturday at CUNY -- help build a democratic alternative to Unity.]
Later I'll post some of my back and forth tweets with Randi Weingarten which might make you pull your hair out.
Here is the full post.
Thank you for putting this on the listserv again.
Special thanks to my dear friend Helen Gym of AAU for being one with whom the powers that be must reckon.
A pox on Jerry Jordan and especially former President Ted Kirsch of the Philadelphia Federation of Teachers for allowing the Commonwealth of PA to take over the School District of Philadelphia which passed Act 96 which prohibited ONLY Philadelphia teachers from striking; an unconstitutional law gone unchallenged since 1996.
A special mention to the wife of Ted Kirsch who had the second Charter School in Philadelphia after St. Sen. John Perzel's wife right after Act 22 was passed; especially so since Ted was still "advocating" for the rank and file of the PFT as our President.
Please note Ted Kirsch, President of the Philadelphia Federation of Teachers, quit the very next day after Paul Vallas left Philadelphia for New Orleans to assume leadership of the PA AFT.
Thanks for the millions spent on outside consultants, outside unaccountable District SRC's, (School Reform Commissions), unaccountable CEO's brought in to privatise the School District and their buy-out packages for them and their cronies who promoted and protected them against us at our expense.
Thanks for selling off the School District's valuable Art Collection to persons unknown, our headquarters in an Art Deco building and refurbishing a former plant that printed TV Guide magazine and making District Headquarters into something reminiscent of "HBO's Series 'Oz.
Thanks for ignoring highly successful Philadelphia Public Schools, (Central High and Masterman) rated top schools in the US over and again.
Thanks for wanting to close primarily schools with African-American schools who have been successful since before NCLB because Universities and Realtors have plans to gentrify the neighborhood they occupy and not because they are failing schools.
Finally, thanks for giving whatever crumbs that were left to Charter Schools who squandered them and used them for self-aggrandizement and enrichment. This is why we teachers have to buy paper, printer toner, software to protect our students from thinking all is not well.
After all the money spent, the sole alternative is to dismantle the School District of Philadelphia; and so it goes.
At LEAST, I kicked serious tail today for my final observation. My kids came through like the best ELLs in the world. Love them.
Here is a post by Helen Gym on the PAA web site:
Dear parents and PAA colleagues:
It’s taken me a while to talk about what’s happening in Philadelphia because of the destructive forces threatening public education in our city.
In case you haven’t read the news, Philadelphia’s Chief Recovery Officer – a gas industry executive paid $150K over six months – hired the Boston Consulting Group for a cool $1.4 million to create a “Blueprint for Reform”. The Blueprint sets out a five year course of action which calls for closing one-fourth of Philadelphia’s schools, 40 alone next year (64 total), placing 40% of students into charters, and dividing up the remaining schools into NYC-inspired “achievement networks” run by third party operators under a five year performance contract.
There are of course the standard union-busting threats, the exclusion of parent and community voices, and the consolidation of political interests, large charter operators, and voucher supporters. There is also terrible shock and awe rhetoric to silence Philadelphians into accepting this plan. Our Mayor for example said the school district was on the verge of imminent “collapse” and said the plan was something Philadelphians needed to “grow up and deal with.” Our Chief Recovery Officer just last week stated that schools may not open in September unless Philadelphians funded the plan with $94 million in increased property taxes.
And all of this is happening in a state where a Republican Governor has slashed $1.1 billion from public education in the last two years.
Parents United is up and running and working with clergy and community groups across the city. Last night over 1,000 people gathered for an education dialogue at one of Philadelphia’s most influential churches. Our radio ads with our teachers union will start running this week. We’ve reignited a Protect Public Education Coalition of student organizing groups, labor and others to work on City Council and launch a media campaign. But of course we’re outfunded and fighting an uphill battle against local and national forces that have completely lost their moral compass about the public in public education.
We’re asking for your help to publicize what’s happening to almost 200,000 children in public and charter schools here. Philadelphia is the poster child for the disasters of national education reform – we’re reeling from a state takeover, EMO’s like Edison Schools, privatizing and contracting out, unchecked charter school growth, massive education budget cuts, and constant turnover in leadership. We’re not unlike many cities across the country, but we are quite possibly the largest city to date to propose an effective dissolution of public education in the name of so-called “reform.”
Below is some basic reading. Feel free to share and spread the word.

His parents Colin John Smith, 42, and Tanya Louise Smith, 40, will serve six and a half years and four years respectively after being found guilty of manslaughter for their part in assisting their son with the killing.
During the Supreme Court trial Colin Smith attempted to take sole blame for the killing, claiming he stabbed Mr Fitzpatrick when he and his son started a fight with him in the driveway of Kenneth's ex-girlfriend, Renee Kipling's home.
The family had gone to the house to confront Ms Kipling but instead found Mr Fitzpatrick in the driveway attempting to leave and set upon him.
Colin said he would plead guilty to manslaughter, saying he accidentally stabbed Mr Fitzpatrick during the fight. The jury rejected his version of events, instead finding Kenneth was the person who inflicted the fatal wound.
Today, Supreme Court Justice Peter Blaxell was told the family was highly dysfunctional, with Colin repeatedly beating Tanya.
Colin's lawyer Michael Joubert read a statement to the court from his client in which he apologised to the victims family and said he hoped they, and the community, could forgive him and his family for what they have done.
The three family members held hands in the dock as their sentences were read, with Kenneth breaking down into tears. Loud sobs were heard from the public gallery.
Outside court the Smith's eldest daughter Jacinta Smith said Kenneth was "a very loving boy" and said she expected he would commit suicide in prison.
Mr Fitzpatrick's mother Jacqueline Elizabeth read a statement outside court in which she thanked the legal system and said she felt the sentences were fair.

State Rep. Tim Schmitz easily fought off a challenge from a Democratic newcomer in the 49th District, according to unofficial results.
With all 90 precincts counted, Schmitz had about 64 percent of the vote compared to 34 percent for Jennifer Barconi.
Schmitz said he won because after 11 years in Springfield, voters know and trust him.
"People get to know you, and they know what you stand for," Schmitz said. "That doesn't happen overnight."
Schmitz said he will focus on putting more teeth into campaign finance reform when he is sworn in again.
Barconi said she simply couldn't match her opponent's name recognition.
"I'm the new kid on the block," Barconi said. "It's hard being grass roots and true to who you are."
Barconi said she plans to stay involved.
"In 2012, I'll be running again," she said. "I'm not giving up. I'm a fighter, and I'm very competitive."
The race in the state's 49th House District pitted a veteran Republican lawmaker against a relatively unknown Democrat.
Schmitz, a Batavia firefighter who has served in the House since 1999, pledged to pursue legislation that would make Illinois more attractive to potential employers. Barconi, an Air Force veteran and business owner from South Elgin, said she would focus her efforts on marketing the state's advantages to businesses looking to move or expand.
The candidates also had different ideas on how to approach the state's ailing budget.
Schmitz, who believes Illinois should go on a "strict diet," joined the call for zero-based budgeting and a forensic audit of the state's budget ideas supported by many Republicans and some Democrats.
Barconi expressed support for a package of cuts proposed by 10 Democratic state lawmakers.
The one weapon both candidates agreed they would not support to balance the state's budget: a tax increase.
The 49th District includes a good portion of the Fox Valley between Batavia and Carpentersville.

Just like having a pan ripping-hot is the key to a perfectly seared steak, the way you whip eggs (even if it's just the whites) into batter is crucial to the final texture of a cake. The lofty height and delicate "crumb" of the lightest and fluffiest desserts like angel food cake, soufflé, or sponge cake can be created—or destroyed—depending on how you incorporate whipped eggs or whites with the rest of the batter. No pressure, right?
Yes, the whole "folding" process can be a tricky beast. That rubber spatula seems to take forever to incorporate flour into whites, or whipped eggs into a batter base, and the whole while, you watch as all the lovely volume you've whipped into your eggs slowly deflates and loses its oomph. What's a cake lover to do?
Luckily, there's an alternative to the flat and oomph-killing rubber spatula: the balloon whisk. What's that, you ask? It's a jumbo whisk with an especially large, round, "balloon-shaped" end, as opposed to the flat or straight-edged kind. And thanks to its wide, balloon-shaped wire coils, it preserves the beautiful airiness of whipped eggs while quickly helping you blend in other ingredients.
The good news is, the whisk on your kitchen counter might already be a balloon one. You've just got to start using it for more than whisking salad dressing. Here's how:
In a large bowl, sift the dry ingredients over the whipped whites, covering as much surface area as possible. Using a turning motion, scoop the balloon whisk through the center of the bowl, bringing some of the dry ingredients down and through the whites, while giving the bowl a quarter turn counter-clockwise (left-handed folks will prefer to go clockwise). Gently tap the balloon whisk to shake out the batter that collects inside of it, then repeat this motion 3-4 times, just enough to incorporate the dry ingredients into the whipped eggs.
When making recipes where whipped eggs are folded in to lighten a batter, a balloon whisk can also help to avoid over-mixing and deflating the eggs. Start off by whisking one-quarter of the beaten eggs/whites into the batter in a large bowl to lighten the batter. Then, working in 2 batches, use the balloon whisk to fold in remaining whipped eggs, placing the whisk in the center of the bowl and scooping up and around as you give the bowl that quarter-turn. Gently tap the whisk to shake out the batter that collects inside of it and repeat just until there are no more streaks of egg visible.
Thanks to those wide coils, a balloon whisk is also your best friend when whipping cream. The easiest way to do it: pour cream into a large, chilled bowl and sweep the balloon whisk in a circular motion, bringing it down and around the sides of the bowl, to quickly incorporate air into the cream. Who needs an electric mixer when you've got a balloon whisk on your side?

!! History Commons Alert, Exciting News
Profile: Peter Margulies
Peter Margulies was a participant or observer in the following events:
Sami al-Arian being led from a courthouse in handcuffs. [Source: Chris O'Meara/ Associated Press]Former Florida professor Sami al-Arian and three co-defendants are found not guilty of various counts of terrorist support, perjury, and immigration violations. The jury acquitted al-Arian of eight of the 17 federal charges against him and deadlocked on the rest. The New York Times calls the verdict “a major defeat for [US] law enforcement officials.” Al-Arian was indicted and imprisoned in 2003. He had been heavily investigated since 1995 and most of the charges related to events from 1995 or earlier (see 1995 and 1995-1998). Law professor Peter Margulies says, “I think the government’s case was somewhat stale because a lot of these events dated back ten years and the case was so complex that it was all over the board.” [New York Times, 12/6/2005] Six months later, a federal judge will sentence al-Arian to an additional 19 months in jail in addition to the 38 months he has already served before being deported. Al-Arian will plead guilty to a lesser charge of aiding members of Palestinian Islamic Jihad and agree to be deported and in return the US will not retry him on the more serious charges. As part of the plea deal, al-Arian admits he raised money for the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) and conspired to hide the identities of other members of the group. He denies committing any act of violence himself, but admits knowing “that the PIJ achieved its objectives by, among other means, acts of violence.” [Tampa Tribune, 4/18/2006] The New York Times will note that the “outcome of the case against Mr. al-Arian did little to resolve the conflicting portraits of his life” as either a terrorism supporter or political scapegoat. [New York Times, 5/2/2006]

The State Department will retain any entries while other federal agencies "evaluate any possible intelligence value," according to a letter from the State Department to Rep. George Gekas, R-Pa., head of the House immigration subcommittee.
Separately, Secretary of State Colin Powell wrote to U.S. intelligence agencies to ask whether they wanted to review the unsuccessful visa applications, said Ed Dickens, a spokesman for the Bureau of Consular Affairs. Powell has not yet received a response.
The Associated Press reported last month that the State Department was shredding millions of unsuccessful applications - using high-speed shredders it calls "Igor One" and "Igor Two" - under its Diversity Immigrant Visa Lottery. The lottery awards visas to 50,000 people randomly each year. Citing the AP's report, Gekas urged the administration to stop the shredding.
"Aliens who are on government watchlists may be attempting to enter the United States through the diversity visa program, but that ... would not be conveyed to the government agencies looking for these aliens," Gekas wrote. "A review of the applications ... could put those agencies on notice that an individual, known to pose a danger to our national security, is seeking to enter the United States."
Experts said many of the visa applications come from countries the Bush administration considers sponsors or harborers of terrorists. The shredding occurred despite Washington's post-Sept. 11 emphasis on sharing such information among law enforcement and intelligence agencies.
In the most recent lottery, the government received 8.7 million applications. It awarded visas to citizens of the seven countries the United States considers state sponsors of terrorism - Cuba, Iran, Iraq, Libya, North Korea, Syria and Sudan. Citizens of Afghanistan, Algeria, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Yemen and 178 other countries also received visas.
Senior counterterrorism and law enforcement officials told the AP they were unaware of the shredding and believed the information should be preserved for potential use in terrorism investigations.
In a written response to Gekas, dated Sept. 11, the State Department promised to comply "so that unsuccessful entries will be shared with law enforcement and intelligence agencies if they decide they are useful."
"Should any agency determine there is value to these lottery entry forms, we will pass these records to them now and in the future," wrote Paul V. Kelly, assistant secretary for legislative affairs.
Kelly noted that the visa applications - which include a person's name, photograph, current address and place of birth, as well as the same information and photographs for all immediate family members - "contain only minimal information." Kelly also noted that visa winners each year are carefully checked for terrorist backgrounds.
Dickens said the State Department has not yet received any response from the CIA or other agencies on whether they would be interested in reviewing the applications.
"We don't care if they're destroyed or not," he said. "If somebody thinks there is some value in these, we'd be happy to turn them over."

The sprints carnival will go from 8am on Sunday week to early afternoon.
Up to 10 swimmers will be in individual races.
The skins event will be at lunchtime with prizemoney for the top three in girls and boys swimming.
"The skins is a knockout event with the final three battling out for placings,” Skaines said.
"It is the battle of the fittest in skins.”
The McNamara Sprints are named after former Warwick dentist, the late John McNamara.
He was heavily involved with Warwick Swimming Club, and was a manager of Australian teams, including for the Commonwealth Games.
News on all clubs welcome by 10am Monday for All Sorts of Sports in the Daily News on Wednesday and Thursday.

A Beginner's Guide to Yoga and Meditation for Seniors
Yoga and meditation used to be the domain of hippies and health fanatics, but those days are long gone. More and more people are seeking the benefits of these long-established practices, with seniors being just one of the groups getting involved. In fact, the number of Americans over 50 trying yoga has tripled since 2014, and this boom shows no signs of stopping.
But where do you begin? If you are a senior — or a caregiver to one — and have been wondering how yoga and meditation work and how you can get involved, read on.
A Brief Introduction to Yoga and Meditation
Yoga and meditation are often grouped together, and that’s because they are fundamentally linked practices. According to Yoga Journal, Hatha yoga (the physical practice we know today) was developed millennia ago to help prepare the body for meditation. Like yoga, meditation has its roots in Hinduism and has been recorded as a spiritual practice since 1500 B.C.E.
Meditation involves clearing the mind to achieve a sense of calm and, ultimately, enlightenment. However, in the modern world, it is more commonly used as a relaxation technique, usually involving a focus on the breath. Yoga can be considered a form of meditation, with some yoga practices focusing more on this aspect than others.
Why Are Yoga and Meditation So Beneficial?
While yoga and meditation are, at their origins, spiritual practices from Eastern religions, their benefits are a lot more practical. Yoga is a great form of exercise, with benefits including improved posture, bone strength, muscle mass, joint health, and flexibility. These are all important areas for seniors to focus on if they want to remain in good shape as they age.
Meanwhile, both yoga and meditation have been shown to be incredibly beneficial for mental health, reducing stress, and helping to fight depression and anxiety. Simply put, building a regular yoga and meditation practice keeps both your mind and body healthy.
Is Yoga Safe for Seniors?
Yes! There is a common misconception that yoga is exclusively a matter of contorting oneself into impossible, intimidating shapes, but this couldn’t be further from the truth. While some forms of yoga are quite intense, others are very gentle. Furthermore, you should never try to force your body to do something it can’t do. Yoga is a slow, gradual practice, and you can start off at any level. If you are worried about your joints, these tips can help you stay safe.
So How Do I Get Started?
Technology is your best friend here. Both yoga and meditation are extremely easy to start for free at home, so you can try them out before committing to a class. Most of the most popular options for at-home exercise for seniors apply to yoga and meditation, including:
YouTube Videos - There are hundreds of free yoga routines and guided meditations on YouTube, including many specifically for seniors. The most popular channel is Yoga with Adriene, which focuses on “finding what feels good” rather than trying to fit the postures. Try this gentle chair yoga for seniors, or one of her meditation videos.
Apps - There are plenty of yoga apps out there that include loads of routines, advice, and information. Apps are especially useful for meditation, however, with guided meditation apps being the easiest and most popular way to get started. Try Headspace’s free basics course to get a taste for it.
Video Games - The Wii has long been a favorite for seniors, and the Wii Fit series of games includes yoga exercises as well as some meditation and focus mini-games.
Yoga and meditation are accessible, flexible, and life-boosting practices. Their gentle nature means that they are ideally suited for seniors, and their health benefits can make your golden years safer and more enjoyable. There are plenty of free resources online to help you start your practice, as well as a huge global community of people to share your progress with. In short, taking up yoga and meditation may just be the best decision you make in your senior years.
