JANESVILLE, Wis. (WTVO) — Janesville Police say an assault-style rifle and a handgun were recovered in two recent traffic stops.
Police said the assault-style rifle with a drum magazine, along with several magazines of ammunition, were recovered after pulling over Orion D. Mitchell, 22, on W. Centerway Street and Academy Street around 5:20 p.m. on Sunday.
After pulling the car over, officers said they smelled marijuana inside the car and conducted a search, which uncovered the weapon.
Mitchell was on parole for an earlier arrest for drug possession, operating a firearm while intoxicated, felony bail jumping, and carrying a concealed weapon, police said.
He is being held at the Rock County Jail on new charges of carrying a concealed weapon, misdemeanor bail jumping, felony bail jumping, possession of THC, and drug paraphernalia.
Last Thursday, police said a loaded handgun with an extended magazine was found in the vehicle of Treshawn McDaniel, 35, of Evansville, when he was stopped in the 500 block of Blackbridge Road.
Police brought in a K9 officer to sniff the outside of the car, which gave probable cause for a search of the vehicle, and the gun was located under the driver’s seat.
McDaniel was on parole for armed robbery, domestic violence, and bail jumping.
He now faces additional charges of carrying a concealed weapon, misdemeanor bail jumping, felon in possession of a firearm, and possession of THC.

The city council house construction is located in Quimper, in an urban re-newing area called Kermoysan. On north the site faces on to carpark and residential housing from the sixties; on south to the main street and round about. On the western boundary stands a lot of oaks and sweet chestnut trees and a little footpath going toward individual houses. In this particular context, the project proposes a strong identity, re-telling a «story» and re-creating a place. The building is clad in a light wood skin with a geometric pattern, bringing back to an imaginary, and reminding the half-timbered houses from the historical city of Quimper. The existing natural environment combined with the new landscape frontside creates a green setting for the new city council house.
Around the atrium
The city council house of Quimper has a very complex program combining the city council house and public services such as social services or early childhood services. In this way, the project suggests positioning and articulating in a rational way its multiple entities around a central atrium. This one is open on the entrance and main floors, in a logic of fluidity, legibility, and conviviality of spaces. This atrium is the heart of the project. It offers comfortable natural light in the building all year long, and values the vertical circulations (access to the floors) and the horizontal circulations (footbridges and around the atrium)

In successive waves over four decades, Rohingya refugees have been fleeing to Bangladesh from Rakhine State, Myanmar. Since August 2017, an estimated 745,000 Rohingya refugees have arrived in Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh, increasing the total number of Rohingya refugees to roughly 855,000. 1 Most of the newly-arrived refugees have settled in hilly, formerly-forested areas that are vulnerable to landslides and flash-flooding in monsoon season, and rely heavily on humanitarian assistance to cover their basic needs. As the crisis moves beyond the initial emergency phase, comprehensive information on the needs and vulnerabilities of affected populations is needed in order to inform the design and implementation of effective inter-sectoral programming.
To this aim, a Joint Multi-Sector Needs Assessment (J-MSNA) was conducted across Rohingya refugee populations to support humanitarian planning and enhance the ability of operational partners, donors and coordinating bodies to meet the needs of affected populations. This in-depth assessment is a follow-on to the June 2019 “Light” MSNA2 , which was used to inform the mid-term review of the humanitarian 2019 Joint Response Plan (JRP)3 . The current “in-depth” J-MSNA was conducted to inform the Inter Sector Coordination Group (ISCG)’s 2020 JRP, with the objectives of: (1) providing a comprehensive evidence base of household-level multi-sectoral needs for the humanitarian 2020 JRP; and (2) providing the basis for joint-multi-stakeholder analysis. The J-MSNA operates upon an analytical framework for multi-sector analysis based on the work undertaken by the Joint Inter-sector Analysis Group (JIAG)4 , tailored by ACAPS and other participants of ISCG’s MSNA Technical Working Group (TWG) of the Information Management and Assessment Working Group (IMAWG) in order to meet the specific needs of the Rohingya Humanitarian Crisis. The J-MSNA serves to measure current humanitarian conditions, perceptions and preferences, and safety and security in affected communities.5
A total of 3,418 households were surveyed across 34 refugee sites, employing a simple random sampling methodology of shelter footprints within official site boundaries. Data collection occurred from 5 August through 15 September 2019. Each interview was conducted with an adult household representative responding on behalf of the household and its members. The assessment provides findings that are statistically representative at the camp level (with a 95% confidence level and 10% margin of error) and aggregated to the overall response level for all Rohingya refugee households living in camps (with a 95% confidence level and 3% margin of error).
This J-MSNA was funded by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) and the Directorate General for European Civil Protection and Humanitarian Aid Operations (ECHO). The assessment was coordinated through ISCG’s MSNA TWG, led by ISCG and comprised of: UNHCR, ACAPS, International Organization for Migration Needs and Population Monitoring (IOM NPM), Translators without Borders (TWB), World Food Programme Vulnerability Analysis and Mapping Unit (WFP VAM), and REACH.
The findings from this report complement other information products from the 2019 J-MSNA to provide a variety of analysis. In addition to the clean household-level dataset and data analysis tables for the Refugee J-MSNA, readers may access summaries of key messages derived from indicator-level findings for both Rohingya refugees and affected host communities living in Teknaf and Ukhiya Upazilas in the 2019 J-MSNA Preliminary Findings Presentation. Camp-level findings for indicators where notable geographic variation was observed are available at the 2019 J-MSNA Dashboard. Finally, the 2019 Refugee J-MSNA Factsheets present and visualize key indicators applicable to refugee communities as a whole, by sector.6
This report builds off of these aforementioned publications by exploring how variation in household social and demographic characteristics may lead to significantly different outcomes on a number of sectoral and cross- sectoral key indicators related to household wellbeing, including: access to food, income generation, education, market access, health care and general safety and security. In conducting this analysis of indicator-level findings through statistical relationship testing, this report seeks to contribute to the growing body of research aimed toward understanding the diversity of needs between different households, as well as the household profiles which may be more vulnerable to facing deprivations in key indicators.

THE ISSUE: A new report finds that PCBs continue to damage the Hudson River. THE STAKES: It's far too soon to absolve the General Electric Co. of its responsibility. --- The PCB issue in the Hudson River is starting to feel something like "Groundhog Day," the 1993 movie in which the protagonist kept waking up on Feb. 2 to relive the same challenges, over and over. And so it is with the Hudson River: Government agencies seem to keep waking up to the fact that the river is still contaminated with polychlorinated biphenyls, or PCBs, and the General Electric Company keeps insisting its six-year, billion dollar-plus cleanup is done. It isn't done. The river isn't clean. And the Hudson isn't \u2014 as GE once tried to assert \u2014 cleaning itself. As much as 60 tons of the chemical, which was legally discharged for decades into the river from GE's electrical capacitor plant in Fort Edward, remain in the Hudson. That's the conclusion of a recent report by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the state Department of Environmental Conservation, based on more than 10,000 water sample tests collected over four decades. Some of those tests were taken below Troy, demonstrating that the pollution extends beyond the area where the original dredging occurred. GE, which now puts the bill for its dredging so far at $1.7 billion, insists it has met a 2002 agreement with the federal Environmental Protection Agency and is seeking an EPA declaration that its role is complete. Sixty tons of PCBs make that a rather difficult case to make. So do 50 years \u2014 the amount of time health officials estimate it will take before the ban on commercial fishing in the Hudson, imposed back in 1976, may be lifted. The new report, however, says the ongoing damage would be reduced if more PCBs were removed. Gov. Andrew Cuomo and many communities along the river want GE to be compelled to return with its dredging equipment and finish the job. A big part of this cleanup must include the necessary navigational dredging for a section of Champlain Canal, a channel and series of locks in the river between Troy and Fort Edward. What should be a routine, periodic cleanup of this shipping lane by the state has been long delayed by questions of who should pay the extra cost of removing and treating sediment laden with PCBs. Ultimately, it's the EPA's call on whether GE must remove more PCBs from the Hudson. That may well come down to the recommendation of Pete Lopez, the EPA's newly appointed regional administrator. Fortunately for the advocates of further PCB removal, Mr. Lopez, as a member of the state Assembly, demonstrated a commitment to a clean environment. In 2015, he was one of 165 state legislators who signed a letter calling for further PCB cleanup of the Hudson, and for Cuomo to "do all that is within your power to direct GE to remedy this situation by dredging additional hotspots in the river." We urge Mr. Lopez to continue his commitment and push for a cleanup. New York and its greatest river shouldn't have to be stuck in this story loop for 50 more years.

PIPESTONE — It wasn’t
the Historic Calumet Inn’s ghostly past
that made nearly 100 people leave and
relocate to the Pipestone Performing
There was simply no
room at the inn for the unexpectedly
large turnout at a presentation by Chad
Lewis, author of “The
Minnesota Road Guide to Haunted
“I had no idea people
in this town were so interested in
ghosts. I guess that says a lot about
Pipestone,” quipped Stephanie Hall, a
librarian at the Meinders Community
Library and an organizer of the event.
Lewis, a paranormal
investigator with a master’s degree in
applied psychology, has authored several
books about the unexplained and unusual,
and his “Road Guide” features haunts in
southwest Minnesota, including one in
His visit was funded
by Legacy Funding through the federal
government and was a collaboration
between the library and the Pipestone
County Historical Society.
“I think the ghosts
just don’t bother to show themselves to
me because I wouldn’t notice them,
anyway,” said Hall, who has worked at
the historical society housed in the
supposedly haunted museum. “But I’m not
Lewis said he first
visited Pipestone about four years ago.
“We made several
trips through the area. My research
partner and I were both working ‘real
jobs,’ if you will, at the time, and we
were doing (our research) as kind of a
long weekend thing,” said the Wisconsin
native. “We’d get as far as we could,
then go back.”
took the audience to haunted locales
around the state, from the Landmark
Center in St. Paul — supposedly haunted
by the ghosts of gangsters past — to the
Glensheen Mansion in Duluth —haunted by
two women who were murdered there — and
right back to southwest Minnesota.
His book details the
legends behind the Ghost of the Clock
Tower in Albert Lea, the Janesville Doll
House and the Sanborn Cemetery in
“They believe the
spirit world is coming into their
world,” Lewis said. “For years locals
have whispered about … this cemetery.
Balls of light floating in the air that
cannot be captured on film. They say you
will hear the faint cry of a young woman
who was believed to be buried alive.”
could also check out the Montgomery Golf
Course, where players putt around actual
gravestones. But of the most interest to
locals in the audience were the spooky
legends that hit closer to home.
The Pipestone Museum
has long been considered haunted.
According to the road guide, employees
once had problems with a pair of boots
in a World War II display that always
seemed to jump off the shelf when no one
was in the room. It was later discovered
the footwear belonged to a victim of the

working upstairs at the museum when she
had her own run-in with the
“I thought I heard my
name called. And a little while later I
heard it again. And it was all coming
from the same spot,” she recounted.
Hoskins asked the
woman working downstairs if someone had
been calling for her and learned no one
else had been in the building. Oddest of
all, she said, the voice she heard
called her “Sue,” a name which she is
only called by family members.
The Historic Calumet
Inn, too, has frequently been said to be
haunted, apparently by a musical ghost.
“The staff will hear
a piano and nobody can be found playing
the piano.” Lewis said.
As part of a
Minnesota Ghost Hunters Society

rocking chair there that has been said
to rock by itself. In the video, a wispy

One couple traveled
from to Pipestone for their anniversary
and happened upon the presentation.
“I was born on
Halloween, so I’m kind of interested in
ghost stories. I think that’s fun,” said
Shauna Christiansen of Blooming Prairie,
who was celebrating one year of marriage
to husband Matt.
Shauna said she’d
once seen an apparition in college,
while Matt found most interesting the
lore behind Forepough’s Restaurant, a
St. Paul mansion-turned-eatery believed
to be haunted by the ghost of a woman
who hanged herself from the chandelier
A Pipestone man named
David, who didn’t want his last name
used, said he chased a spirit out of a
Pipestone home while babysitting one
evening 13 years ago.

How we understand the current uprising in the wake of multiple police killings is critical. It is not only a protest. If we are fortunate, it stays an uprising — against a whole system built on anti-Blackness. This is not about a few “bad apples,” but an entire institution that has a monopoly on the definition of “justice.” It is about people’s psychic, emotional and economic investments in a heavily resourced system that functions to protect white supremacy through anti-Black violence. It is about George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Tony McDade, Oscar Grant, Sandra Bland, Rekia Boyd and so many others, as well as the hundreds of years’ worth of violence against Black communities. As such, and as the world is witnessing — because of the gravity and depth — every strategy to disturb, let alone upend this world, will be taken.
But in recent days, I have received too many messages and phone calls that essentially ask, “I know you’re against police violence, but are you in support of looting?” Before a long pause and depending upon my mood, I will talk about how the United States is built upon the looting of land, resources and human life from Indigenous peoples. I will emphasize that this nation is made possible through the theft of Black humans, life, labor, cultures and families — through the legacy of chattel slavery, the prison-industrial complex, the child welfare system, the medical-industrial complex, the educational system, and the culture vultures who love all things Black but have been extremely quiet during this time. On other days, I simply say, “Black lives over property every day.”
Sometimes, people ask why the uprising is happening. I am forced to recall that the U.S. educational system has done an incredible job in inducing historical amnesia and reproducing multicultural white nationalism while policing Black youth and Black culture. As a former educator, I don’t remember teaching about the depth, breadth, gravity and ongoing implications of the transatlantic slave trade, the genocide of Native Americans, nor the U.S. occupation and colonial wars in Vietnam, Philippines, Guam, Hawaii, Samoa, Laos, Cambodia and elsewhere. I am reminded that this schooling system does not teach about the legacy of anti-Black violence, including the 1951 “We Charge Genocide: The Crime of Government Against the Negro People” petition, which was submitted to the United Nations. This petition documented 152 killings and 344 other acts of violence against Black communities in the U.S. between 1945–1951. We have barely learned about the important work of the Chicago-based We Charge Genocide campaign that continued in the legacy of resistance. Nor has the nation learned about the history of the Chicago Police Department with torture and the brilliant organizing to win reparations for the more than 100 victims, most of whom are Black men. Instead, I am aware of the ongoing history lessons and political science courses that drill down the importance of the Constitution and of the history of the U.S.’s purported greatness. I am also reminded that schools do not only help craft a white nationalist narrative and identities, but the policies and practices have historically and foundationally been anti-Black.
Very rarely are we taught that anti-Black violence is enacted by and makes white supremacy possible. We know this through the transatlantic slave trade, red-lining and racial covenants, the Tulsa massacre, policing and incarceration, educational and health disparities, and more. These forms of violence are committed by individuals and institutions in order to delineate and protect the supremacy of whiteness and its borders. Unfortunately, communities that consciously or unconsciously subscribe to the nation’s values and systems that are built upon anti-Blackness are implicated in the violence until we all work to upend it.
When people ask why this uprising is happening, I am also forced to painfully recall a willful ignorance that is made possible through privilege and safety. For way too long, people — particularly non-Black communities — have benefited from anti-Blackness (and albeit differently, anti-Indigeneity).
There is a (real or imagined) privilege in being able to believe in, let alone to realistically rely on, the police. There is an Amy Cooper, who so easily called on the police to attend to her manufactured white fear and tears, in every workplace and predominantly white neighborhood. She readily weaponizes her white womanhood to incriminate and punish Black communities. This violent form of comfort and reliance upon criminalization makes police violence possible.
There is also a relative ease in the ways that so many non-Black communities love and wear Black culture, but are either silent or only perform solidarity in the war against Black death. The ways that their forms of support do not help to create substantial systemic change instead fulfills their own guilts or comforts their own sadness. Instead of creating change or centering Black rage or leadership, corporations and institutions clamor to declare solidarity as a trend. Instead of redistributing funds, helping to house gentrified and displaced communities, helping to advance campaigns to defund and abolish police, or deeply invest in community-based economies, they capitalize off of grief with empty letters of support and new marketing strategies. This uprising demands for everyone to actively divest from all forms of policing, to redistribute resources and help create conditions for communities to thrive.
When people ask about why the uprising is happening, they fail to realize that this was all a work in progress. Organizers and educators have long worked to prepare us for this moment. This work is in response to a system and world ready to implode because too many have been invested and profited from Black deaths. There are civilians, non-police officers, who have also committed anti-Black violence in their neighborhoods or schools; populations of people who appropriate Blackness but scoff at movements to acknowledge Black suffering, let alone share their resources. There are many who rail against the destruction of businesses, but do not work to systematically welcome Black communities into their own. None of this means that people have to experience violence, but it does mean that lives are built upon anti-Blackness, and people should not have the luxury of deciding when or where they will participate in working to end that violence.
Anti-Black violence isn’t only about police violence. It is systemic. It takes place through other state institutions and is interpersonal. These layers of violence and the silence or disregard for their impacts beg for an uprising against “business as usual” — figuratively and literally.
When people argue that the uprisings have negatively impacted businesses and corporations, we have to know that many of these businesses have been historically and contemporarily built upon so much bloodshed.
More than 100,000 people have died — many of them Black, Latinx, Indigenous and other communities of color — from COVID-19. Meanwhile, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos’s fortune grows by $24 billion as his company’s workers and other essential workers continue to be dangerously exposed to the virus.
All of this incites justifiable rage. When someone says that the shutting down of businesses will cause people to lose their jobs, one cannot help but say, the job that makes $15 an hour or less, while corporate executives make hundreds of thousands more?
People are long exhausted of a system that does not fail them but systematically robs them of health, their lives, their labor and too much more. The U.S. has benefited those who are financially resourced and those with racial capital — while systematically working to debilitate others, particularly Black communities. While there is ongoing resistance and defiance, this moment is when we are able to witness, support and participate in a collective uprising.
Because when people ask what this is about, it is not only about the violence of the police — the entity that needs to be defunded so that resources can be redirected toward historically neglected communities, including Black, Indigenous, low-income communities of color — it is about an entire nation that was built upon and continues to build upon the ongoing looting of Black (and Indigenous) communities. This cannot be a time in which people are interested in saving themselves, especially not when we are in the middle of a global pandemic that is decimating entire populations. This is not the time to try to save this violent nation or anything that it once was. It is a time to create an entirely different world because Black lives depend upon it. There can be no going back.

“Shameful shambles” of DWP’s long term underpayment of state pensioners with “little interest” in full consequences
21 January 2022
The Department for Work & Pensions (DWP) estimates it has underpaid 134,000 pensioners, mostly women, over £1 billion of their State Pension entitlement, with some of the errors dating as far back as 1985.

In January 2021, DWP started an official exercise to correct the errors, the ninth such exercise since 2018. The errors, which mostly affect widows, divorcees and women who rely on their husband’s pension contributions for some of their pension entitlement, happened because of the Department’s use of outdated systems and heavily manual processing. Small errors that were not recognised each time added up over years to significant sums of money.
DWP will only contact pensioners when it finds through these exercises that they have been underpaid, and admits that many more are not receiving their due – these “risk missing out on significant sums”, with “little guidance for those currently claiming State Pension who are concerned that they have been underpaid” and people left “in the dark over their entitlement”.
There is currently no formal plan for contacting the next of kin where a pensioner who was underpaid is now deceased.
DWP is only paying those it has identified as having a legal entitlement to arrears, in some cases many years after the event, and has been inconsistent in paying interest. It has shown little interest in understanding the further knock-on consequences, including on social care provision, for those it underpaid.
Fixing DWP’s mistakes itself comes at great cost to the taxpayer - expected to cost £24.3 million in staff costs alone by the end of 2023. Experienced, specialised staff have been moved away from business-as-usual and as a result DWP is already experiencing backlogs in processing new applications. The risk remains that the errors that led to underpayments in the first place will be repeated in the correction exercise, if not also in new claims.
Dame Meg Hillier MP, Chair of the Public Accounts Committee said:
“For decades DWP has relied on a State Pension payment system that is clunky and required staff to check many databases - and now some pensioners and the taxpayer are paying in spades.
Departments that make errors through maladministration have a duty to put those it wronged back in the position they should have been. In reality DWP can never make up what people have really lost, over decades, and in many cases it’s not even trying. An unknown number of pensioners died without ever getting their due and there is no current plan to pay back their estates.
DWP is now on its ninth go at fixing these mistakes since 2018, the specialised staff diverted to fix this mess costing tens of millions more to the taxpayer and predictable consequences of delays in new pension claims. And there is no assurance that the errors that led to these underpayments in the first place will not be repeated in the correction exercise.
This is a shameful shambles. The PAC expects DWP to set out the step changes it will make to ensure it is among the last.”

Blogs to Uplevel by
Here I will share some inspiring thoughts with you as I try to learn about the world around me and together we will nut out the workings of the world to help us with the coaching process of continually looking for a better path.
Why I love Malcolm Gladwell's writing and how we can use it to inspire our coaching
I have been listening to the audiobook by Malcolm Gladwell, Talking to Strangers, his most recent book to date, and I am enthralled by the workings of his mind and his method of research. I have managed to binge on this with a commitment unparalleled by any of Netflix's offerings.
Why do I love Gladwell's writing so much? Because he moves from one topic to another and then circumnavigates back round to his original thesis all in the one chapter, mimicking the way the brain works, off on a tangent one moment then back on track the next. Although all of his side-tracks are relative and informative he comes padding back to the main track, so this stimulates thought and keeps the reader or listener interested in his original train of thought. I find this fascinating but also reaffirming as this is what I do in my conversations and on my podcasts, so I felt immediately connected to Gladwell and not only found him relatable but also rigorous and entertaining. His book reads like a thriller, a who done it with hooks to read on, to see how one element relates to the other. We want to understand just as much as he does in the why's of this world, just like coaching, we must be curious to advance forward and just as in life, we digress and explore but we come back to our point of focus with discipline to help inform our original concepts and structure gives way to flexibility making us agile and prepared to change strategies if we need to.
We can see his Gladwell's original conundrum and then his method of research to source the answer for his readers and I find that intellectually stimulating, fun and fulfilling. And I can't find another author who I am currently enjoying more. There is no fluff, no unnecessary words for descriptive purposes, but there is loads of logic, trust in us readers and cohesion and I am grateful for it all.
His arm of queries is long and substantial, his mind is alert and fertile, his brain beguiling, just like an episode of Goosebumps would be for kids, his stories take a twist and turn at every avenue and opens to a vista unthought of by me but which takes me to the 30,000 ft view and this is what a good coach does. They shake up our preconceived concepts and asks us to question ourselves, to not take our position for granted but to earn the respect of our readers and for me Gladwell does this through his rigorous yet light-hearted touch.
Gladwell overdelivers naturally precisely because he is curious. He is satisfying his own inquiry and like all good students of life, the more we learn the more we realise we don't know, so he's constantly exploring broadly, then deeply. Many of us give up too early before we reach this stage but not Gladwell, he delivers thought and story crisply wrapped in perseverance. He insists on reaching the truth of the matter to satisfy him, he knows that one person's truth is not necessarily another's but you have the sense that he has satisfied his own curiosity and that is intoxicating. Being tenacious and provoking, yet kind, considered and above all curious are the most valuable tools we can possess.
As far as investigative journalism goes Malcolm Gladwell is today's finest, he's prolific as he writes books which become NY Times bestsellers and is a staff writer for the New Yorker. Yet, perhaps I like him best for his use of theatricality in his short vignettes umbrellaed under his one overarching question. His genius lies in digging into the mind of the stranger and dismantling any preconceived stereotypes that we may have had, by dismissing our urge to be generalists and to dig deep by taking the time to engage. Gladwell's writings can't be droning on in the background whilst multi-tasking he asks that we be present to his thoughts and awake to a broader way of viewing the world and for this I prioritise Malcolm Gladwell's work.
Authenticity is another tool we can take from his repertoire balanced by an unbiased hand. He is the outlier in an industry vying for our short attention span with stories half-told based on hearsay. Gladwell throughly researches his subjects, and has used original sound recordings of interviews and court trials when he's able. He has music and atmosphere in his audiobook that reminds me of Orwell's War of the Worlds by the sheer commitment to that radioplay by it's listeners. I myself find I hang on Gladwell's every word.

Evaluation of a tailored intervention to improve management of overweight and obesity in primary care: study protocol of a cluster randomised controlled trial..pdf (849.09 kB)
Evaluation of a tailored intervention to improve management of overweight and obesity in primary care: study protocol of a cluster randomised controlled trial
journal contributionposted on 2015-07-10, 11:40 authored by Jane Krause, Shona Agarwal, D. H. Bodicoat, A. Ring, D. Shepherd, S. Rogers, M. Wensing, Richard Baker
Background: In the UK around 22% of men and 24% of women are obese, and there are varying but worrying levels in other European countries. Obesity is a chronic condition that carries an important health risk. National guidelines, for use in England, on the management of people who are overweight or obese have been published by the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE, 2006). NICE recommendations for primary care teams are: determine the degree of overweight and obesity; assess lifestyle, comorbidities and willingness to change; offer multicomponent management of overweight and obesity; referral to external services when appropriate. This study investigates a tailored intervention to improve the implementation of these recommendations by primary care teams. Methods/Design: The study is a cluster randomised controlled trial. Primary care teams will be recruited from the East Midlands of England, and randomised into two study arms: 1) the study group, in which primary care teams are offered a set of tailored interventions to help implement the NICE guidelines for overweight and obesity; or 2) the control group in which primary care teams continue to practice usual care. The primary outcome is the proportion of overweight or obese patients for whom the primary care team adheres to the NICE guidelines. Secondary outcomes include the proportion of patients with a record of lifestyle assessment, referral to external weight loss services, the proportion of obese patients who lose weight during the intervention period, and the mean weight change over the same period. Discussion: Although often recommended, the methods of tailoring implementation interventions to account for the determinants of practice are not well developed. This study is part of a programme of studies seeking to develop the methods of tailored implementation.

If you’re at all the slightest bit skeptical of the emerging capability of hackers to take control of your electronic devices, then don’t watch this video. Why? Because you may never drive your car again after you see how a couple of government-funded tech guys were able to hack into, and take control of, one reporter’s vehicle — while he was driving it.
The experiment was the product of Forbes reporter Andy Greenberg, who wanted to see just how vulnerable cars are to hacking by Charlie Miller and Chris Valasek, two researchers who reseived an $80,000 grant from the Pentagon’s research wing, DARPA, to study such vulnerabilities. The scary answer — shown in a video report — to how vulnerable is “very.”
Take for example that Miller, while plugged into the car’s computer system in the back seat — could do things like change how much fuel the car appears to have, alter the speedometer reading, actually turn the steering wheel, honk the horn, and even mess with the brakes:

Australia is old, you can feel its bones beneath your feet, see the skin and sinew of the soil stretched across the shoulder of the horizon. Long dead volcanoes had lain a layer of basalt across the broad plateau, and millenia of erosion had worn a web of deep valleys through it.
Once upon a time a young man sat on a boulder atop a mesa and gazed westward over the flat top hills towards the setting sun. Below him on the left, at the bottom of a steep ravine, flowed the river Colliban, and to the right Spring Gully creek. Storm clouds were blowing towards him, black and ominous. Between him and the sunset the rain began to fall in billowing curtains, and shafts of gold and rainbow light radiated across the land.
Down in the valley a pair of kookaburras laughed at some private joke, while magpies warbled a song of longing to each other in red gums on the ridge. A flock of pink and grey galahs screeched southward toward the shelter of the bush, the sunset edging their feathers in gold.
Suddenly lightning flashed, a bolt of fire that reached from the clouds to the earth, the burning passion of the heavens reaching out for his beloved. The young man could smell the rain like perfume on the breeze that caressed his cheek and ran its fingers through his hair. Unbidden a tear rolled down his cheek to lay a gentle, salty kiss upon his lips. His senses tingled and his heart swelled. Here, alone with the world, he was less lonely than he had ever felt, filled with a sense of belonging. He was a witness to, no, a part of these forces of nature, nature aware of itself, experiencing itself and saying "I AM". No judgemental eyes to look down on him, no nagging voices telling him who he should or should not be. He was home.
The sun has risen and set every day since the earth began. There had never been a sunset exactly like this before, there never would be again. Each day is a precious and unrepeatable jewel in the passage of time, each hour, each moment a treasure that enriches our lives.
My life has been a journey of discovery, my work has been an attempt to give form to the passion that the beauty of this world has filled me with.
The hills and mountains of Japan are young, still buxom and vital in their youth. Their slopes are covered in lush forests, and rice paddys stretch wet and shining around their feet. I watched the sun set behind the mountains of Nikko today from my front yard, as a thunderstorm rolled across the rice fields. A lone heron winged silently across the valley, as the sun slowly faded behind a cloud band, an orange smudge on the grey canvas of the summer sky. In my hand I have a goblet of australian merlot, and my family wait for me in my home, for they are my home.
I remember the young man who came down from the mesa so long ago, not as if it were yesterday, but as if it were today. Every sound and touch, fragrance and flavour, every mote of light still lingers inside me. As I walk back to the house I carry him inside myself, along with all the other memories of the man or boy I was on other days. And I will carry today along also into the undiscovered future that awaits me and it gives me hope, for there will always be beauty waiting for me to find it, and passion left to share. I can feel it in my very bones.

Warren Davidson Rejects U.S. Treasury's Attempt to Ban Crypto Assets
Warren Davidson, Vice Chairman of the Subcommittee on Digital Assets, Financial Technology, and Inclusion of the House Financial Services Committee, has vehemently rejected the policy suggestions put forth by the U.S. Treasury to regulate crypto assets. He argues that these proposals aim to effectively ban digital assets in the United States by imposing unworkable compliance requirements.
U.S. Treasury's Crypto Policy Proposals Deemed 'Dishonest' by Warren Davidson
In an opinion post titled "Setting the record straight and debunking unworkable illicit finance proposals," Warren Davidson expresses his disagreement with the policies presented by the U.S. Treasury. He asserts that these suggestions, similar to those proposed by Senator Elizabeth Warren, seek to disarm the cryptocurrency industry in the U.S.
Classification of Crypto Participants as Financial Institutions
The proposed policies would classify wallet providers, miners, validators, and other network participants as a new group of crypto financial institutions. This would subject them to the same reporting standards as traditional financial institutions.
Warren Davidson criticizes Senator Warren's claims that even validator node operators pose national security concerns, calling them ignorant and unbecoming of any policymaker.
Objective of the Measures
According to Davidson, the objective of these measures is to effectively ban digital assets in the United States by imposing an overwhelming and unworkable compliance burden. He believes that these policies aim to capitalize on the ignorance of others and dismantle the future of the crypto industry in the U.S.
Blockchain and Cryptocurrency Not Preferred Methods for Terrorism Financing
Davidson argues that recent media reports incorrectly linking the terrorist group Hamas to the raising of over $93 million in digital assets have been used to justify these policy proposals. He emphasizes that blockchain and cryptocurrency are not the primary methods for terrorism financing.
Importance of Bringing Crypto Companies to the U.S.
Davidson asserts that the first step to combat illicit activities in the crypto space should be to attract more crypto companies to the United States. However, he believes that the proposed policies, if implemented, will drive companies and capital offshore, making it difficult to achieve this goal.

Frequently Asked Questions
What Should Your IRA Include in Precious Metals?
When investing in precious metals, the most important thing to know is that they aren't just for wealthy people. You don't have to be rich to invest in them. There are many ways to make money on silver and gold investments without spending too much.
You might consider purchasing physical coins, such as bullion bars and rounds. You could also buy shares in companies that produce precious metals. Another option is to make use of the IRA rollover programs offered by your retirement plan provider.
You can still get benefits from precious metals regardless of what choice you make. They offer the potential for long-term, sustainable growth even though they aren’t stocks.
They also tend to appreciate over time, unlike traditional investments. This means that if you decide on selling your investment later, you'll likely get more profit than you would with traditional investing.
What are some of the benefits of a gold IRA
It is best to put your retirement money in an Individual Retirement Account (IRA). It is tax-deferred until it's withdrawn. You are in complete control of how much you take out each fiscal year. And there are many different types of IRAs. Some are better suited for people who want to save for college expenses. Some are better suited for investors who want higher returns. Roth IRAs permit individuals to contribute after the age 59 1/2. Any earnings earned at retirement are subject to tax. However, once they begin withdrawing funds, these earnings are not taxed again. This account is a good option if you plan to retire early.
An IRA with a gold status is like any other IRA because you can put money into different asset classes. Unlike a regular IRA where you pay taxes on gains, a gold IRA doesn't require you to worry about taxation while you wait to get them. People who want to invest their money rather than spend it make gold IRA accounts a great option.
You can also enjoy automatic withdrawals, which is another benefit of owning your gold through an IRA. This means that you don't need to worry about making monthly deposits. To ensure that you never miss a payment, you could set up direct debits.
Finally, gold is one the most secure investment options available. Its value is stable because it's not tied with any one country. Even during economic turmoil, gold prices tend to stay relatively stable. As a result, it's often considered a good choice when protecting your savings from inflation.
How much of your portfolio should be in precious metals?
This question can only be answered if we first know what precious metals are. Precious metals have elements with an extremely high worth relative to other commodity. They are therefore very attractive for investment and trading. Gold is by far the most common precious metal traded today.
But, there are other types of precious metals available, including platinum and silver. The price of gold fluctuates, but it generally remains stable during times of economic turmoil. It also remains relatively unaffected by inflation and deflation.
As a general rule, the prices for all precious metals tend to increase with the overall market. They do not always move in the same direction. For instance, gold's price will rise when the economy is weak, while precious metals prices will fall. This is because investors expect lower interest rates, making bonds less attractive investments.
The opposite effect happens when the economy is strong. Investors prefer safe assets such as Treasury Bonds and demand fewer precious metals. They are more rare, so they become more expensive and less valuable.
It is important to diversify your portfolio across precious metals in order to maximize your profit from precious metals investments. Additionally, since the prices of precious metals tend to rise and fall together, it's best to invest in several different types of precious metals rather than just focusing on one type.
Can I buy Gold with my Self-Directed IRA?
While you can purchase gold from your self-directed IRA (or any other brokerage firm), you must first open a brokerage account such as TD Ameritrade. You can also transfer funds from another retirement account if you already have one.
The IRS allows individuals to contribute up to $5,500 annually ($6,500 if married and filing jointly) to a traditional IRA. Individuals are allowed to contribute $1,000 each ($2,000 if married or filing jointly) to a Roth IRA.
If you do decide to invest in gold, you'll want to consider purchasing physical bullion rather than investing in futures contracts. Futures contract are financial instruments that depend on the gold price. You can speculate on future prices, but not own the metal. However, physical bullion is real gold or silver bars you can hold in your hands.
How can I withdraw from a Precious metal IRA?
First, you must decide if you wish to withdraw money from your IRA account. Then make sure you have enough cash to cover any fees or penalties that may come with withdrawing funds from your retirement plan.
Consider opening a taxable brokerage instead of an IRA if it is possible to pay a penalty if your withdrawal is made before the deadline. You will also have to account for taxes due on any amount you withdraw if you choose this option.
Next, calculate how much money your IRA will allow you to withdraw. This calculation is dependent on several factors like your age when you take the money out, how long you have had the account, and whether or not your plan to continue contributing.
Once you have determined the percentage of your total savings that you would like to convert to cash, you can then decide which type of IRA to use. Traditional IRAs allow for you to withdraw funds without tax when you turn 59 1/2. Roth IRAs, on the other hand, charge income taxes upfront but you can access your earnings later and pay no additional taxes.
Once these calculations have been completed you will need to open an account with a brokerage. To encourage customers to open accounts, brokers often offer signup bonuses and promotions. To avoid unnecessary fees, however, try opening an account using a debit card rather than a credit card.
When it comes time to withdraw your precious metal IRA funds, you will need a safe location where you can keep your coins. Some storage areas will accept bullion, while others require you to purchase individual coins. You will need to weigh each one before making a decision.
Bullion bars require less space, as they don't contain individual coins. However, each coin will need to be counted individually. However, keeping individual coins in a separate place allows you to easily track their values.
Some prefer to store their coins in a vault. Some people prefer to store their coins safely in a vault. Whichever method you choose, make sure you store your bullion safely so you can enjoy its benefits for years to come.
Do You Need to Open a Precious Metal IRA
It is essential to be aware of the fact that precious metals do not have insurance coverage before opening an IRA. There is no way to recover money that you have invested in precious metals. This includes losing all your investments due to theft, fire, flood, etc.
It is best to invest in physical gold coins and silver coins to avoid this type loss. These items are timeless and have a lifetime value. If you were to offer them for sale today, they would likely fetch you more than you paid when you bought them.
Consider a reputable business that offers low rates and good products when opening an IRA. You should also consider using a third party custodian to protect your assets and give you access at any time.
Remember that you will not see any returns unless you are retired if you open an Account. So, don't forget about the future!

A growing trend: Gold IRAs
As investors look for ways to diversify their portfolios and protect themselves against inflation, the gold IRA trend is on the rise.
The gold IRA allows owners to invest in physical gold bullion and bars. It is a tax-free investment that can be used to grow wealth and offers an alternative investment option to those who are concerned about stocks or bonds.
A gold IRA allows investors to manage their assets without worrying about market volatility. Investors can protect themselves from inflation and other possible problems by using the gold IRA.
Investors also enjoy the benefits of owning physical gold, which includes its unique properties such as durability, portability, and divisibility.
A gold IRA provides many additional benefits. One is the ability for heirs to quickly transfer ownership of gold. Another is the fact that gold is not considered a currency or a commodities by the IRS.
Investors looking for financial security are increasingly turning to the gold IRA.

Do Glocks have a safety? This post discusses what these weapons need to use in regards to safety. While they wear ‘t have an external safety like a manual security, they do have internal ones. These include a two-stage trigger and a firing pin security. How To Smooth Out The Action Of A Polymer80 Glock.
Glocks have a safety feature
| Do Glocks have a safety? While they don ‘t have an external security like a manual safety, they do have internal ones.}
Glock pistols don ‘t included the traditional safety functions that most pistols have. Instead, they have an unique safety device constructed into the deal with and trigger that avoids the gun from firing if the gun ‘s trigger security is depressed. This gadget is called the SAFE ACTION(r) System, and it works in a variety of temperatures, from -40 to 122 degrees Fahrenheit.
Worldwide of literature and movies, Glock pistols are frequently used as a weapon of choice. While they wear ‘t have an external safety mechanism, they do have a security lever that the shooter uses to engage a manual security lever. The safety lever is among the earliest active safety systems discovered in guns. In the Glock pistol, nevertheless, it is used in conjunction with the internal mechanical safety system to avoid non-trigger-pull discharge.
Firearm safeties are available in a number of types, consisting of passive, automatic, and bypassable. The trigger security prevents the gun from firing when the trigger is launched inadvertently, while the firing pin safety prevents the firing pin from striking the cartridge. The trigger security is easily accessible and works in combination with the firing pin safety.
Glock handguns are extremely personalized, and weapon owners have the choice to switch out sights and activates. Additionally, they can change the color of the weapon and include grip sleeves to customize it. Hundreds of companies offer accessories for the Glock handgun. Make sure you have an armorer or gunsmith install it prior to trying to modify it if you ‘re thinking about a Glock pistol. How To Smooth Out The Action Of A Polymer80 Glock.
The firing pin security avoids the piston from firing when dropped or thrown. When the safety is engaged, the trigger should be depressed together with the security.
Another safety feature is the decocker. When unloaded, it keeps the hammer in the down position while the weapon is packed and returns to its initial position. The decocker is an essential safety function for the Glock firearm, but it ‘s not found on all designs. This exemption is due to the fact that of its design. Without this safety feature, the gun would not work correctly.
They have internal safeties however no external or manual safety
The very first thing you need to learn about Glocks is how they are developed. Unlike other handguns and revolvers, Glocks do not have manual or external safetyties. This implies you ‘re not required to press the trigger to stop the weapon from firing, which is a significant benefit.
While manual safety is an excellent function, it is not enough to protect you from an unintentional discharge. You still need to understand how to use the weapon appropriately and not drop it unintentionally. The natural instinct is to reach out to choose it up when you drop a gun.
One of them is the Glock, which has internal safetyties but no handbook or external security. That does not make the Glock a dangerous firearm.
Glocks are created with 3 passive safetyties, including the trigger security. These are typically developed into the side and rear slide. Some designs have a small metal bar behind the ejection port that can be seen when the weapon is pointed downrange. In case of an unintentional discharge, the trigger safety will instantly depress the firing pin and prevent it from firing. How To Smooth Out The Action Of A Polymer80 Glock.
A thumb safety was constructed into the frame of the Glock MHS submission, however the Glock 19X did not have one when it was launched to the civilian market. As far as manual safeties on Glocks, they are extremely uncommon.
The safety on Glocks is not offered on Poly 80 or Lone Wolf clones, and is just present on the Gen-5 design. This safety is available only on Glocks that are black. Those made from other brands have manual safety. It ‘s the only method to guarantee your safety and prevent unintentional discharges.
They have a two-stage trigger
The two-stage safety on Glocks is a crucial function for numerous factors. Whether you ‘re shooting at the range or in a competitors, unexpected discharges and hitting the incorrect target can be dreadful.
Unlike other pistols with single-stage safety, Glocks have a two-stage security on the trigger. When the trigger is pulled, the striker is launched efficiently and easily. The trigger weighs the like a stock Glock. And unlike numerous other pistols with single-stage triggers, the G17 trigger seems like it ‘s been upgraded, with simply a safety plunger polish and a smooth pull to the wall.
Single-stage triggers are the most common in military weapons, including AR-style rifles. They have very low travel and tidy breaks throughout countless cycles. Single-stage triggers are normally more reliable than two-stage ones. They ‘ll normally be heavier in the first stage and lighter in the second.
While pistols with double trigger safety are a good alternative for preventing unexpected firings, a dual trigger on a Glock is much more beneficial. The two-stage safety avoids accidental firings by avoiding the gun from releasing the shooting pin if neither trigger is depressed.
The locking block pin was introduced in the 3rd generation. The locking block pin lies above the trigger pin. Numerous internal parts were also revised, although inconspicuously. In addition to the locking block pin, the slide likewise features front serrations, which can supply extra tactile traction surface area. The publication was also redesigned for fifth-generation designs. They have a front-protruding lip on the publication floor plate, and the publication follower was made orange for easier identification.
They have a shooting pin safety
If it is not drawn, glocks have a shooting pin security that keeps the pistol from inadvertently firing. There are 3 security mechanisms on a Glock – the trigger safety, the firing pin safety, and the drop security. Each safety system is necessary and must be utilized in tandem.
Glock pistols are constructed in a different way than other guns. Since of this, they do not have an external safety. In order to fire a round, the shooting pin should strike the guide. This will fire up the primer and cause the round to travel through the chamber and out the muzzle. A firing pin security is created to avoid the firing pin from inadvertently striking the guide, and avoid it from moving on.
The firing pin safety on a Glock handgun serves as a lever and avoids the trigger from being pulled back. To eliminate the security, you require to push the safety lever up at the very same time as pulling the trigger. The weapon will not fire accidentally as soon as you have depressed the safety. As a result, it ‘s crucial to discover how to activate the shooting pin safety on your Glock handgun.
A drop safety on a Glock weapon engages part of the firing pin at the back. When you pull the trigger, the drop safety locks the firing pin into location. It then returns to fully cock the pin and releases the trigger. The firing pin will not have sufficient force to ignite the guide if you wear ‘t shoot, so you need to get rid of the shooting pin security or remove the drop safety in order to fire the gun.
The shooting pin security is a mechanical device inside the gun that avoids the firing pin from moving forward and getting in touch with the primer. This safety is linked to the trigger bar. When the trigger is pulled, the trigger bar pushes the pin security out. This ensures that the weapon does not fire without setting off the trigger.
How To Smooth Out The Action Of A Polymer80 Glock
In addition to shooting pin security, Glocks also have a threaded barrel. They can be fired in water, however keep in mind that saltwater can cause rust to the firing pin.
Rather, they have a distinct safety gadget developed into the deal with and activate that prevents the gun from firing if the weapon ‘s trigger security is depressed. While they put on ‘t have an external security system, they do have a safety lever that the shooter uses to engage a manual security lever. The trigger safety avoids the weapon from shooting when the trigger is released unintentionally, while the shooting pin security prevents the firing pin from striking the cartridge. There are three safety mechanisms on a Glock – the trigger safety, the shooting pin safety, and the drop security. The shooting pin will not have enough force to spark the primer if you wear ‘t pull the trigger, so you must eliminate the shooting pin safety or eliminate the drop security in order to fire the weapon.

Standard Bank Top 8 Knockout Cup champions Blue Eagles FC have said they should be allowed to defend the cup automatically; and not depend on voters.
The tournamentâ€™s rules stipulate that only six top teams in the previous Super League season have automatic qualification while two other teams must be voted for by fans.
Blue Eagles finished on eighth position last season, which means if they are to take part in the tournament, they have to be voted in by the fans.
“It will be proper for us to defend the cup automatically by virtue of being champions. It will not be proper to bank our participation on voters. Some teams by virtue of their history have larger fan bases than us. Our plea is to FAM and Standard Bank to consider us because this is a special case,” said Eagles general secretary Ackis Muwanga.
Standard Bank head of marketing Linda Kachingwe-Sisya said they will refer the issue to Football Association of Malawi (FAM) for their input.
“I think FAM will be able to handle that and give direction as to what should be done in this case,” she said.
FAM acknowledged that Eaglesâ€™ case needs special handling.
“We will sit down with the organising committee and table the issue to see how we can handle it. This, indeed, is a special case, but we will have to revisit the rules and regulations of the tournament and make a decision,” said FAM president Walter Nyamilandu.
The tournament, which will be launched on June 30, will be played from August to September.

Honestly, 2017 passed too fast and I somehow am really not satisfied. I felt like I could do more? or achieve more? No doubt alot of things happened in 2017.
I loss a great deal and gain too.
One of the greatest heartache for me was to lose whom I thought are my ‘good friends’. Well maybe not after all. Its always better to know earlier than later. Still it aches still whenever I think about them or what we’d before. Nothing last I learned or don’t assume the same. Actually, whenever others talk about never to ask for return? But just give. It’s so hard. Cos it mattered. Not like you have to get the same back but to never had it was another ball game. It’s not new to me losing friends through the years but gosh it hurts. And moving on without a pinch is impossible. Its like you are as sad as the dead sea but they couldn’t care less and with that thought you had to break free? Ah a torture.
I always thought I can always do the right thing but I’m only human and I make mistakes and wrong decisions too. I receive karma as soon as I make a U turn to make things right. How ironic. Its not meant to be.
Time, cold and factual. Its not the right time they say. Its funny how things work and happens. Might just come back and for the better or may not and evolve into something beautiful. Who knows? So make every decision count.
I’ve learn to Self-care and it is often a hassle and negligible. It is enforcing a mundane routine and eating healthy meals and face your problems and focus till you find a solution. It is like doing regular insanity workout or tell off a toxic friend or get a second job so you can have a better and more satisfied life.
Self-care should be enforced simply because we are often exhausted that we need sometime off our own internal pressure.
Anyways! Here’s a video I did and edited on my thoughts. 🙂
So I came across this article and I wanna share with you guys, read it for your own good.
