A recent explosion in the amount of cardiovascular risk and incipient, undetected subclinical cardiovascular pathology has swept across the globe. Nearly 70% of adult Americans are overweight or obese; the prevalence of visceral obesity stands at 53% and continues to rise. At any one time, 55% of the population is on a weight-loss diet, and almost all fail. Fewer than 15% of adults or children exercise sufficiently, and over 60% engage in no vigorous activity.
Several 1-aryl-3-(2-pyrimidyl)thiocarbamides and their corresponding cyclized 2-arylimino-3-(2-pyrimidyl)thiazolid-4-ones were synthesized and characterized by their sharp melting points and elemental analyses. These thiocarbamides and thiazolidones possessed anticonvulsant activity against pentylenetetrazol-induced convulsions and potentiated pentobarbital-induced hypnosis in mice. Most of these thiocarbamides and thiazolidones selectively inhibited nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD)-dependent oxidation of pyruvate, where the use of added NAD dether hand, remained unaltered.

Ketamine has important anesthetic, analgesic, and psychotropic actions. It is widely believed that NMDA receptor inhibition accounts for ketamine actions, but there remains a dearth of behavioral evidence to support this hypothesis. Here, we present an alternative, behaviorally relevant molecular substrate for anesthetic effects of ketamine: the HCN1 pacemaker channels that underlie a neuronal hyperpolarization-activated cationic current (I(h)).
The effects of annomontine, a pyrimidine- ?-carboline alkaloid isolated from the root of ANNONA PURPUREA, on anxiety was studied in mice using the elevated plus-maze. The behavioral effects of this alkaloid on the pentobarbital-induced hypnosis, the locomotor activity in an open field, and the motor coordination in the rotarod test were also evaluated. The intraperitoneal injection of annomontine (1-30 mg/kg) increased in a dose-dependent way the number of visits to and the time spent in the open arms of the elevated plus-maze in comparison to the control animals.
To characterize the sedative and hypnotic profile of the novel adenosine derivative ((3S,4R,5R)-3,4-dihydroxy-5-(6-((4-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzyl)amino)-9H-purin-9-yl)tetrahydrofuran-2-yl) methyl diaconate (WS0701), we performed a variety of behavioural tests and investigated the influence of WS0701 on various sleep stages. In mice, WS0701 significantly increased the number of entries and time spent in open arms in the elevated plus maze test, indicating an anxiolytic effect.

With >1 million deaths annually, mostly among children in sub-Saharan Africa, malaria poses one of the most critical challenges in medicine today. Although introduction of the artemisinin class of antimalarial drugs has offered a temporary solution to the problem of drug resistance, new antimalarial drugs are needed to ensure effective control of the disease in the future. Herein, we have investigated members of the methionine aminopeptidase family as potential antimalarial targets.
Neurocysticercosis (NCC), an infection of the brain with the larval stage of the Taenia solium tapeworm, is responsible for an estimated one-third of adult-onset epilepsy cases in regions of the world where it is endemic. Currently, anthelmintic drugs used for treatment of NCC are only partially effective, and there is, therefore, a pressing need for new therapeutic agents. Discovery of new anthelmintics with activity against T. solium has been limited by the lack of suitable sensitive assays that allow high-throughput screening.

An ethanolic extract of Russian tarragon, Artemisia dracunculus L., with antihyperglycemic activity in animal models was reported to decrease phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (PEPCK) mRNA expression in STZ-induced diabetic rats. A quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) assay was developed for the bioactivity-guided purification of the compounds within the extract that decrease PEPCK expression. The assay was based on the inhibition of dexamethasone-stimulated PEPCK upregulation in an H4IIE hepatoma cell line.

We recently reported that increased vascular endothelial nitric oxide production could protect against the development of monocrotaline (MCT)-induced pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) and right ventricular hypertrophy (RVH) in rats (32). The present study investigated whether the pleiotropic action of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA reductase inhibitors in upregulating endothelial function could also protect against the MCT-induced end-organ damages. Rosuvastatin (2 mg kg(-1) day(-1) via oral gavage) or placebo was initiated 1 wk before or 1 wk after MCT (60 mg/kg ip) administration.

I will start by saying that I really love Insurgency, but there is something that almost kills this great game for me: the way MGs are balanced (by introducing unrealistic levels of recoil). I think it sets precedent for doing other things to make this game more arcade-like and less tactical/realistic. The realistic, intuitive feel of the weapons is a quality that draws me to this game, thus I never use the MGs.
In a game like this, you of course want to discourage MGs from being used like mobile assault weapons, but why are they not used this way in real life? Well, they are generally more expensive and rare than your standard assault rifle, so class limits and higher resource costs are one way to balance their use. Perhaps tactical units don't want to put their most expensive and best suppressing weapons on the front line? This of course doesn't translate well to a video game, where these concerns don't matter much. So let's explore how one could reflect that MGs are slower and heavier in a way that discourages their use in mobile and aggressive ways!
An alternative way to balance weapons like MGs, is to introduce an inertia mechanic. An inertia mechanic would do three things:
Increase the time it takes to aim down sights...simple enough to understand.
Create a delay between moving your mouse quickly, and the barrel of your weapon following these fast movements until your barrel "catches up" to where you are pointing with your mouse. Think of it as a rubber band effect: The fast you move your mouse, the more delay exists. Smaller weapons like SMGs and Carbines would feel noticeably more "snappy" than MGs with this inertia system.
Increased weapon weight would contribute to overall weight of the soldier, which would make him/her slower and increase stamina drain.
Besides being more realistic, a benefit of a system like this, is that it can be applied to all weapons, not just MGs. This makes it consistent and scalable, unlike the current way of introducing artificial recoil for just one class of weapons - this feels disconnected and inconsistent from the other types of weapons. Recoil should be determined by weapon caliber, type of round (example: some 5.56x45mm AP rounds have more powder/velocity than others), weapon weight, and weight distribution of the weapon itself.
So please NWI, I BEG you to at least consider another way to balance MGs. I truly appreciate you reading this post and considering what I've said...Thank you!

Full-tensor gravity gradient eigenvector analysis for locating complex geological source positions
Other literature type
Kass, Mason Andrew
(issn: 1607-7946, eissn: 1607-7946)
We develop an eigenvector analysis method to locate the centroids and horizontal boundaries of geological structures of full tensor gravity gradient (GGT) data. Although the boundary detection method for Bouguer gravity has been widely discussed and applied, the source location method for GGT data remains an area of active research. In this paper, we first discuss the theoretical basis and physical meaning of the eigenvector analysis on GGT data, and then a new source location method is derived. Unlike traditional potential field boundary detection, the proposed method uses eigenvector analysis to extract the source centroid information. The interference of multiple and overlapping sources and the parameter identification related with the multiple scales of the GGT eigenvector analysis are presented in the theoretical and experimental sections. Finally, the proposed method is applied to synthetic and field data.

Mayor Martin Chavez is proposing increases in funding for public works, the bus system, parks and animal shelters in his budget for the new fiscal year.
Overall, Chavez has proposed a $403.7 million budget for fiscal year 2005, a 13 percent increase compared with this year. Police, fire and corrections would see the largest increases, thanks largely to a 1/4-cent tax for public safety approved by voters in October.
The Public Works Department would also see a large increase, from $32.9 million to $38 million.
One reason for the hike Chavez wants to increase street sweeping by 40 percent, and …

Whoa, now that was a hot one.
Las Vegas and extreme heat go together like Buffalo and snow, but this past weekend was one for the books.
The daily temperature set records on Friday and Saturday and flirted with another one on Sunday, when the high of 109 was just 2 degrees shy of the record set in 1985. Friday’s and Saturday’s highs of 109 and 112, respectively, both broke the previous marks by 1 degree.
The searing heat sent Las Vegas residents and visitors to pools, splash parks and drink stands throughout the valley.
The heat is expected to ease off somewhat today, with the National Weather Service forecasting a high of 102. Temperatures are expected to remain in the low 100s the rest of the week.

Neither my normal Tuesday Group nor the group I sometimes experience with on Sundays has gone out for just a few weeks due to all of the rain we’ve had. However yesterday we had lovely sunny skies so I went on a pleasant outing with the Sunday group. We did a difficult two and a half hours, with climbs each on the East facet of city (up Thomas Grade and thru the Vacation lake neighborhood) and the West facet (up Willow springs then again by way of Paradise valley on Oak Glen Ave). These of us are quicker than me, particularly within the hills, so I rode my e-assist bike so I may sustain.

Opening Line: Florida -3 / South Carolina +3 O/U 42
Time: Saturday October 20, 2012 3:30 PM EST
South Carolina ATS / Over/Under: 5-1 ATS O/U 4-3 Florida ATS / Over/Under: 5-1 ATS O/U 2-4
Florida (6-0) is only 1 win away from matching their win total from last season, but getting there soon will be tough, as after facing 7th ranked South Carolina (5-1) they face 13th ranked Georgia next week. The Gamecocks are coming off their first loss of the season where their top 2 offensive stars in RB Marcus Lattimore and QB Connor Shaw did not play well. If South Carolina loses this game it will be their 2nd loss in the SEC and they will probably be out of the BCS Bowl picture.
South Carolina's offense has a tall task in this game trying to move the chains on a Florida defense that ranks 6th in the nation.
The Gators are dealing with some injuries, as a couple of offensive lineman and WR Latroy Pittman are likely out for this big game. The Gators have a solid rushing attack and that is the strength of their offense. Jeff Driskel set a Florida QB rushing record in his last game galloping for 177 yards and he and RB Mike Gillislee (615 yards 7 TD) are the key players the Gamecocks and their 21st ranked run defense.
Stopping the run is key for South Carolina since the Gators only rank 118th in the country in passing yards per game. In the loss to LSU the Gamecocks gave up 258 rushing yards.
Connor Shaw threw 2 INT in the 4th quarter in the LSU game and those picks were costly. He also was sacked 4 times and he needs a better performance from his offensive line in this game. Shaw has a couple of big play receivers in Damiere Byrd and Bruce Ellington, who are each averaging over 17 yards per catch on the season. The Gators rank 22nd in the nation in pass defense.
Marcus Lattimore has 584 yards with 10 TD on the season and he is a little banged up and may start in this game. Kenny Miles and freshman Mike Davis will get the carries if Lattiomore cannot go, but that will be a big blow if their lead back cannot play since Miles and Davis have combined for only 217 rushing yards.
South Carolina has won 2 straight facing Florida and they have never won 3 straight against the Gators.
South Carolina at Florida Betting Trends
South Carolina is 7-3 ATS in their last 10 road games, 4-0 in their last 4 SEC games, and they have an Under record of 4-1 in their last 5 games following a S.U. loss.
Florida is 5-0 in their last 5 games, 2-5-1 ATS in their last 8 home games, and they have an Under record of 4-0 in their last 4 games at home.
Florida is only 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games against South Carolina.
Pick: Florida has the defense, but I think South Carolina is a better team all around and Shaw will bounce back and have a good game and the Gamecocks will win and hand the Gators their first loss of the season.

Interest rates continue to surge ahead of the expected hike in the policy rate of the Bank of Ghana from the current 17%.
This is expected to increase the cost of doing business in the country further, due to the rising cost of credit.
With inflation above 23%, it is expected that the managers of the monetary economy will increase the policy rate to reduce money supply and as a result slowdown the rising prices of goods and services.
Interest rates on the short term financial instruments have been going up every week to make up for the liquidity shortfall and the under-subscription of Treasury bills sale so far this year.
They are expected to go beyond 23% anytime soon.
In the just ended T-bills auctioning, the 91-day and 182-day Treasury bills went up by 0.42% respectively to 18.22% and 19.26%. The one-year bill also increased by 1.07% percent to 21.72% to entice investors.
Nevertheless, the sale of Treasury bills by government once again failed to meet its target.
The shortfall was a little above ¢712 million, approximately 37% undersubscribed.
Chunk of the short term instruments purchased was the 91-day T-bills in which ¢1.031 billion was bought by the investors, largely commercial banks.
|Securities||Bids Tendered (GH¢)||Bids Accepted (GH¢)||Interest rate|
|91 Day Bill||1.031billion||1.031billion||18.226%|
|182 Day Bill||128.47 million||128.47 million||19.262%|
|364 Day Bill||88.81 million||88.81 million||21.272%|

Haifa, March 29, 2020 – With 12 Israelis already dead and more than 3,800 infected with COVID-19, the nation is fixated on the physical and economic ramifications of this devastating virus. However, Dr. Eli Somer, a clinical psychologist and Professor Emeritus of Psychology at the University of Haifa’s School of Social Work, warned that many will be psychologically impacted as well.
Somer, who served as a mental health officer in the IDF and later as a civilian clinician for survivors of terrorism and childhood trauma, warned that the “accumulative stress” of self-isolation can take a toll on many vulnerable people. Specifically, the elderly, migrants, unemployed, victims of domestic violence and, individuals with previous diagnoses of anxiety and depression are most likely to develop significant emotional distress from coronavirus self-quarantining.

“I think that people can endure only so much stress,” Dr. Somer said during an online briefing hosted by the American Society of the University of Haifa on Thursday night. “If you look at a volume of groups such as immigrants or migrant workers, for example, these are individuals who’ve seen a lot of change in their lives. They are an example of an obvious risk group. Also, people with deficient social support, people who are socially shy and anxious [are at risk]. The unemployed and those suffering from pre-existing mental disorders like anxiety, depression, and PTSD are also at risk.”
As for the elderly, who are already physically targeted by the virus, adjusting to the new regulations has left them feeling helpless. As such, Dr. Somer commended an initiative spearheaded by University of Haifa and NGOs Matav and Shila to recruit volunteers to chauffeur caregivers to the homes of the elderly during this trying time. In Israel alone, there are 220,000 senior citizens and many of them must function without their caregivers because of the near shutdown of public transportation.
Dr. Somer also offered tips on how to handle our newfound confinement. First, he suggested that people follow a limited, but trustworthy stream of news to keep one both informed and at ease. He also advocated for strengthening support systems and relying on family, when possible, since families with a solid and healthy foundation are likely to cope better to this new reality than ones that have a toxic dynamic or disconnection between family members.
Since it’s natural to want to problem-solve in times of crisis, Dr. Somer called on authorities to give citizens more agency in managing their situation and enable them to get involved so they can feel proactive in a state of affairs that (until now) feels beyond their control. “When civilians are asked to do nothing, that worries me,” he said. “So we need to find ways to get citizens to be more proactive both at home and online.”
For families with children, he stressed the importance of maintaining calm within a household. “Children are vulnerable because they don’t understand the situation. They take cues from their parents. So, I would advise parents that their kids react to what they say and how they say it. Parents should make themselves available to listen and answer any questions their children may have,” adding that parents should also limit how much news a child overhears regarding the pandemic.
Finally, he suggested that people develop a daily routine to abide by. “When everything changes, we want to keep some things constant, especially when we don’t have control over the situation.”
Despite the need to monitor one’s mental health during this trying time, Somer said reassuringly that most people will not develop long-term psychological effects from self-isolation. In fact, many may even come out of this pandemic with a deeper appreciation for life, he predicted.
“During this challenging time, people can realize their own capacities – their ability to withstand and prevail. The pandemic gives us an opportunity to reassess what’s important to us and appreciate the smaller things in life. Some of us may discover spirituality, the value of family, intimacy with their partner and the value of pausing to reflect. Eventually, this pandemic will subside and authorities will encourage people to return to daily life. People will savor what they initially took for granted.”

(C. Proxmire, Nov. 10, 2012)
People are more inclined to get online and rant and rave when they are upset about something, and Election Day brought out the anonymous commenters on websites that encourage such things. But most accounts show that the Ferndalians that came through the long lines were in good spirits. The longest reported waits were 2 ½ hours, which experienced voters know is common during a Presidential election.
Those who were surprised might benefit from learning more about the process, and what can be done to make it better for the next election.
Before Election Day Regional and National News media warned of long lines and informed voters of the Absentee Voter process. And television news frequently showed the lines and waits in early voting states, and at local polls throughout the country on election day, including in Grand Rapids and in the Ann Arbor Area.
In Ferndale there were some complaints that consolidating the precincts might be the cause of the lines, and there were people who showed up at the wrong location. To ease this problem, City Clerk Cherilynn Talman posted maps of the precincts throughout poll locations. The maps included street names for each precinct. The City also posted sample ballots on the walls and handed out brochures with information about the proposals for people to read while waiting. Those who showed up to vote at the wrong precinct were given a pass to allow them to go to the front of the line once they made it to the correct location.
In December 2011 Ferndale City Council voted to reduce the number of precincts from 9 to 7. The average number of voters per precinct is 2,300, while Michigan State Law allows up to 2,999.
Having more precincts means spending more money on poll workers, more time on election training and processing the various reports, and an increased potential for errors. Workers are paid a stipend for the day, and are on location from 6am to as late as 1 or 2am at times. Because of the long day and low pay it can be a challenge to find workers. For this election, three workers who were trained did not show up on Election Day, which caused morning time delays as workers were shifted around to compensate.
Someone else complained that there were not enough poll workers, and that volunteers to help were turned away on Election Day. Under Michigan law, workers must be signed up and reported to the state, and trained, several days prior to the election. This is why they cannot have volunteers or new workers jump in to help.
Poll workers, also known as Election Inspectors, are responsible for all of the election materials. Every voter application, every ballot, and every ballot stub must be accounted for. Because of this, the number of people allowed to fill out their application is limited to the number who can fit at the table.
Each location, by law, has only one electronic poll book. Every hour poll workers need to make sure that the poll book numbers match the numbers on the tabulator. They also have to make periodic backups of the poll book so the data in it is saved.
Sometimes there are slowdowns at the electronic poll book station. When voters are not registered in the poll book, an election inspector will take time away from their other position to call the Clerk’s office and check that person’s name in the statewide registry.
Poll workers must also ensure secrecy. Privacy screens are located around the perimeter of the room so that voters can fill out their ballot with no one behind them. Some complain that there should be more places to vote, but because of the need for secrecy this is limited. Additionally, there needs to be few enough stations that the poll workers can reasonably monitor them all.
Backups in the line can occur at this point because not everyone votes at the same pace. Some people need more instruction than others for how to vote, particularly if they’ve not voted in Michigan before. Some people breezed through the ballot, while some people took an hour or more.
If voters have a question or a problem once they have received their ballot, two election inspectors must stop the job they are doing in order to help them. The inspectors must affirm a preference for opposite parties. For example, when someone showed up to vote at one of the precincts and did not have the ability to read, the Republican who had been assigning ballots had to stop, as did the Democrat who was instructing people on how to feed the ballots into the tabulator. They spent nearly an hour reading through each line of the ballot for the voter, while other people manned two stations each.
Each election there are inevitably some people who mess up their ballots. When this happens the person working the poll book and the precinct captain, who often is also doing another job, must interrupt the line to follow the state-mandated procedure for spoiling a ballot and issuing a new one. This can cause a lull in the progress in the line that those waiting may not understand
When voters are done filling out their ballots, they go to the tabulator machine. No one is allowed within ten feet of the machine while a voter feeds their ballot in, so if there is a problem an inspector stands rather far away to verbally explain to the voter what to do. If a problem is insurmountable without physical assistance, a worker from each major party must approach together to resolve it.
Because of the checks and balances built into election law, it’s easy for something relatively minor to cause a backup in the line. And when precincts are processing 80-100 voters an hour there are bound to be issues. It’s just the way elections in Michigan go.
After every election the City Clerk has a meeting with Election Inspectors to go over what some of the problems were and how things can be improved for the next election. Residents who are concerned or who have suggestions can contact City Clerk Cherilynn Tallman at firstname.lastname@example.org,
On Nov. 9, Rep. Woodrow Stanley (D-Flint) introduced a bill that would establish early voting in Michigan.
“Voting is a civil right, and it is our obligation as legislators to ensure that right,” Stanley said in a press release to East Village Magazine. “This is a concept that members of both parties support. I hope that we can get this done. The research shows that early voting is common sense.
“According to the National Conference of State Legislatures, 32 states and the District of Columbia now allow in-person early voting, beginning, on average, 22 days before the election. In addition, 27 states and Washington, D.C. have no-excuse absentee voting. Early voting cuts down on long lines like what we seen in Flint on Tuesday.
“Only allowing a few options for voting endangers our democracy and burdens our county and city clerks,” Stanley said. “In Flint, it took 48 hours to count absentee ballots. In a close election, that could not only cost the city money, but cost constituents a voice. That is why I introduced an early voting bill today.”
Another bill introduced on Nov. 8 by Rep. Tim Greimel (D-Pontiac) would require the Secretary of State to implement online voter applications.

'Tis the season for soup that never goes out of style. As the weather begins to shift, the apparent need for a warm bowl of soup on a breezy Autumn day becomes more prevalent. Regardless of how you prefer to enjoy your soup, this versatile dish can be made in ways that please even the pickiest of eaters. Soup can be as simple as a bowl of tomato basil with a side of crackers, or as complex as a hearty pho bowl filled to the brim with meat, noodles, eggs, and vegetables. Some popular Fall soups include potato, tomato basil, french onion, chicken noodle, lentil, butternut squash, clam chowder, broccoli cheese, miso, and more! Though there are many to choose from, one restaurant in Wisconsin serves up the best soup around.
According to a list compiled by Eat This Not That, the best soup in Wisconsin can be found at The Soup Brothers located in Milwaukee. Eat This Not That recommended trying the fire roasted red pepper bisque.
Here is what Eat This Not That had to say about the best soup in all of Wisconsin:
"The amazing Fire Roasted Red Pepper Bisque at The Soup Brothers, a creamy soup served with rice and sour cream in it, has quite the following. As one Yelp reviewer put it, "Their best and home special is the Fire roasted red pepper bisque, a soup to die for!"

A sleeveless vest, warm and snug, sometimes insulated and fur lined, that's a gilet. Some gilets are lighter and serve as windproof or light jackets, while others do heavier duty as winter garments or even ski clothes.
The outer surface of a gilet may be denim or a water-resistant fabric, or something wind-tight and warming. The only common feature of all gilets is the vest-like structure, so that it leaves free arm movement. Meet the outdoors in a gilet.

Council Highlights is an informal summary of decisions made by Toronto City Council. The City Clerk provides the complete, formal documentation of Council’s meetings.
Council approved amending the City Council procedures to provide for the establishment of up to four deputy mayors, one to assist the mayor in each of the city’s four regions, to be appointed and removed by the mayor. There is a requirement that the mayor designate one of the deputy mayors as a first deputy mayor to act in the mayor’s absence and to perform the roles and functions that the Council procedures and the Municipal Code assign to the position of deputy mayor.
Council approved a process and schedule for developing, reviewing and adopting the City’s 2015 budget. Under the schedule, Council will be able to adopt the 2015 operating and capital budgets by early March. The Budget Committee is scheduled to begin the review of a staff-recommended budget in late January and wrap up its work on the budget in mid February, leading to consideration of the committee’s recommended budget by the Executive Committee and Council in March. Council directed senior staff to prepare a plan for comprehensive community consultation for the 2016, 2017 and 2018 budgets.
Council requested an interim report on a work plan for an accelerated review of the SmartTrack and Regional Express Rail plans for transit in Toronto. The review is to include detailed planning as well as an environmental assessment, a business case analysis and an implementation schedule. Council also adopted related motions, such as one that addresses urban development scenarios along the proposed SmartTrack alignment.
Council supported a motion asking staff to present the emergency evacuation policy and procedures for City Hall’s council chamber and committee rooms, and for Toronto’s civic centres, for a review in closed session. Staff have also been asked to conduct an exercise to test the procedures’ effectiveness.

My bedroom door is at the top of a staircase. When I step out of my room, a hallway is to my left and the shadowy staircase is to my right. It’s bent, so it’s impossible to see all the way to the bottom floor. I have lived in that same house, in that same room, for a bit over a decade without incident. I opened that door more than a dozen times each night. But still, I can’t set foot out of my room until I’ve checked to see if anything is coming up the stairs. And I don’t mean one of my relatives or even a robber.
Ever since I was little, I kept expecting to startle some kind of shadowy monster that had just been chillin’ on the stairs. I never have. I know the odds are good that I never will. But, no matter how old I get, no matter how silly it seems, I just have to check.
When I sat down to write Whispering Graves, that persistent quirk came to mind again. I began to wonder; what if there was something there but I just couldn’t see it? And what would it be like to know it was there? Then I read about the Dullahan, a headless hunter that could kill someone just by speaking their name. The two concepts seemed to be too fun to not put together. And who better to terrorize with this creation than my long suffering Banshee and his best friend?
Thank you for joining Benton and Nicole in book 2 of the Banshee series. And remember; just because you can’t see it, doesn’t mean that it can’t see you.
Keeping it spooky,
Sara Clancy and Team Scare Street

The Life and Teachings of Allan Kardec
Allan Kardec, born as Hippolyte Léon Denizard Rivail in 1804, was a renowned educator, writer, and philosopher. He is best known for his work in codifying and popularizing Spiritism, a spiritualist philosophy that gained significant popularity in the 19th century. Allan Kardec’s life and teachings continue to inspire and influence millions of people around the world through Way of the Spirit.
Kardec’s journey into the world of Spiritism began in the 1850s when he attended a séance and witnessed various supernatural phenomena. Intrigued by these experiences, he embarked on a quest to understand the nature of these phenomena and their implications for humanity. This led him to study and investigate various spiritualist practices, including mediumship and communication with spirits.
Kardec’s approach to understanding the spiritual realm was deeply rooted in scientific inquiry. He believed in the importance of empirical evidence and rigorous investigation to validate spiritual phenomena. This approach set him apart from many other spiritualists of his time, who relied more on faith and intuition.
In 1857, Kardec published his seminal work, “The Spirits’ Book,” which laid the foundation for Spiritism. The book, based on a series of questions posed to spirits through mediums, provided a comprehensive framework for understanding the spiritual world. It covered a wide range of topics, including the nature of God, the purpose of life, and the afterlife. Kardec’s writing style was clear and concise, making complex spiritual concepts accessible to a wide audience.
One of the key teachings of Kardec’s Spiritism is the belief in the existence of an immortal soul that evolves through multiple incarnations. According to Kardec, each individual goes through a series of lives, learning and growing spiritually with each experience. This concept of reincarnation was not new, but Kardec’s systematic approach and logical explanations gave it a new level of credibility.
Kardec also emphasized the importance of moral and ethical development in one’s spiritual journey. He believed that the ultimate purpose of life was to attain moral perfection and spiritual enlightenment. This emphasis on personal responsibility and self-improvement resonated with many people, who found in Spiritism a practical and meaningful philosophy for living.
Throughout his life, Kardec dedicated himself to spreading the teachings of Spiritism. He founded numerous Spiritist societies and published several other books, including “The Mediums’ Book” and “The Gospel According to Spiritism.” These works further elaborated on the principles and practices of Spiritism, providing guidance for individuals seeking spiritual growth and understanding.
Kardec’s teachings continue to have a profound impact on the lives of millions of people worldwide. Spiritist centers and organizations can be found in many countries, promoting the study and practice of Spiritism. His emphasis on reason, morality, and personal growth has attracted people from diverse backgrounds, seeking answers to life’s fundamental questions.
In conclusion, Allan Kardec’s life and teachings have left an indelible mark on the spiritual landscape. His systematic approach to understanding the spiritual realm, emphasis on empirical evidence, and focus on personal growth have made Spiritism a compelling philosophy for many. Kardec’s legacy continues to inspire and guide those who seek a deeper understanding of the mysteries of life and the human spirit.
Exploring the Principles of Spiritism in Allan Kardec’s Way of the Spirit
Allan Kardec’s Way of the Spirit is a book that delves into the principles of Spiritism, a spiritualist philosophy that gained popularity in the 19th century. Spiritism, also known as Kardecism, is based on the belief in the existence of spirits and their ability to communicate with the living. Kardec, a French educator and writer, is considered the founder of Spiritism and his works have had a profound impact on the spiritualist movement.
In Way of the Spirit, Kardec explores the fundamental principles of Spiritism, providing a comprehensive guide for those interested in understanding this philosophy. One of the key principles of Spiritism is the belief in the immortality of the soul. According to Kardec, the soul is eternal and continues to exist after physical death. This belief in the afterlife is central to Spiritism, as it provides a framework for understanding the communication between spirits and the living.
Another important principle of Spiritism is the idea of reincarnation. Kardec argues that the soul goes through a series of lives, each one serving as an opportunity for spiritual growth and development. Reincarnation, according to Kardec, allows individuals to learn from their past mistakes and progress towards spiritual enlightenment. This concept of reincarnation sets Spiritism apart from other spiritualist philosophies and has been a subject of much debate and discussion.
Kardec also emphasizes the importance of moral and ethical behavior in Spiritism. He argues that individuals should strive to live virtuous lives, guided by principles such as love, compassion, and justice. Kardec believes that by practicing these virtues, individuals can align themselves with the spiritual realm and progress on their spiritual journey. This emphasis on morality distinguishes Spiritism from other spiritualist movements, which may focus more on psychic phenomena and mediumship.
Way of the Spirit also explores the role of mediums in Spiritism. Mediums are individuals who have the ability to communicate with spirits and relay their messages to the living. Kardec provides guidelines for the development and practice of mediumship, emphasizing the importance of ethical conduct and the use of reason and logic in interpreting spiritual messages. He cautions against blind faith and encourages individuals to approach spiritual phenomena with a critical and analytical mindset.
Throughout Way of the Spirit, Kardec presents Spiritism as a rational and scientific philosophy. He argues that spiritual phenomena can be studied and understood through observation, experimentation, and logical reasoning. Kardec’s approach to Spiritism has been influential in shaping the modern understanding of the philosophy and has attracted a diverse range of followers, including scientists, intellectuals, and spiritual seekers.
In conclusion, Allan Kardec’s Way of the Spirit provides a comprehensive exploration of the principles of Spiritism. Through his writings, Kardec presents Spiritism as a rational and scientific philosophy that emphasizes the immortality of the soul, reincarnation, moral behavior, and the role of mediums. His work has had a profound impact on the spiritualist movement and continues to be studied and practiced by individuals seeking a deeper understanding of the spiritual realm. Whether one agrees with Kardec’s ideas or not, Way of the Spirit offers a thought-provoking and insightful perspective on the nature of the soul and its connection to the spiritual world.
Understanding the Role of Mediumship in Allan Kardec’s Way of the Spirit
Allan Kardec, a renowned French educator and philosopher, is widely known for his contributions to the study of spiritism. His book, “The Spirits’ Book,” serves as a cornerstone in understanding the role of mediumship in Kardec’s Way of the Spirit. Mediumship, the ability to communicate with spirits, plays a crucial role in Kardec’s teachings, offering insights into the afterlife and the spiritual realm.
Kardec’s Way of the Spirit is based on the belief that spirits exist and can communicate with the living through mediums. Mediumship, in this context, is seen as a bridge between the physical and spiritual worlds. It allows individuals to receive messages from spirits, gaining knowledge and guidance from the other side.
Mediumship, according to Kardec, is not limited to a select few individuals but is a potential ability that anyone can develop. He believed that everyone has a spirit, and through proper training and practice, one can enhance their mediumistic abilities. Kardec emphasized the importance of moral and ethical conduct in mediumship, as it is essential to maintain a pure and sincere connection with the spirits.
In Kardec’s Way of the Spirit, mediumship serves multiple purposes. Firstly, it provides evidence of the existence of spirits and the afterlife. Through mediums, spirits can convey information about their past lives, experiences, and the spiritual realm. This evidence helps to dispel skepticism and provides comfort to those who have lost loved ones, knowing that their spirits continue to exist and can communicate with the living.
Secondly, mediumship serves as a means of spiritual education. Spirits, according to Kardec, possess knowledge and wisdom that can benefit humanity. Through mediums, they can impart teachings on various subjects, including morality, ethics, and the nature of the soul. Mediumship, therefore, becomes a tool for personal growth and spiritual enlightenment.
Kardec’s Way of the Spirit also emphasizes the importance of discernment in mediumship. Not all spirits are benevolent or truthful, and it is crucial to distinguish between genuine spirits and deceptive entities. Kardec advocated for a rigorous process of questioning and verification to ensure the authenticity of the messages received through mediums. This discernment helps to maintain the integrity of mediumship and prevent manipulation or exploitation.
Furthermore, Kardec believed that mediumship should not be seen as a form of entertainment or spectacle but as a serious endeavor for spiritual development. He discouraged the use of mediumship for personal gain or sensationalism, emphasizing the need for humility and selflessness in the practice.
In conclusion, Allan Kardec’s Way of the Spirit revolves around the understanding and practice of mediumship. Mediumship serves as a means of communication between the physical and spiritual realms, providing evidence of the afterlife and offering spiritual guidance. It is a potential ability that can be developed by anyone, with moral conduct and discernment being essential aspects of its practice. Kardec’s teachings on mediumship have had a profound impact on the study of spiritism, providing insights into the nature of spirits and their role in human existence.
Applying Allan Kardec’s Way of the Spirit in Modern Spiritual Practices
Allan Kardec, a renowned French educator and philosopher, is widely regarded as the founder of Spiritism. His teachings and writings have had a profound impact on modern spiritual practices, offering a unique perspective on the nature of the spirit world and its connection to our everyday lives. Today, many individuals and spiritual communities continue to apply Kardec’s principles in their pursuit of spiritual growth and understanding.
Kardec’s Way of the Spirit emphasizes the belief in the existence of spirits and their ability to communicate with the living. According to Kardec, spirits are not ethereal beings residing in a distant realm, but rather conscious entities that coexist with us in the same space. This concept challenges the traditional notion of a separate and inaccessible spirit world, suggesting that spirits are present and accessible to those who seek their guidance.
One of the key practices in Kardec’s Way of the Spirit is mediumship, the ability to communicate with spirits. Mediums, individuals who possess this ability, act as intermediaries between the physical and spiritual realms. They use various techniques, such as trance or automatic writing, to establish a connection with spirits and relay their messages to the living. This practice has gained popularity in modern spiritual communities, with many individuals seeking the guidance and wisdom of spirits through mediums.
Kardec also emphasized the importance of moral and ethical development in spiritual growth. He believed that the purpose of life is to evolve spiritually, and that this evolution is achieved through the cultivation of virtues such as love, compassion, and humility. Kardec’s teachings encourage individuals to reflect on their actions and strive for personal improvement, recognizing that spiritual growth is a lifelong journey.
In applying Kardec’s Way of the Spirit in modern spiritual practices, many individuals and communities have found solace and guidance in their pursuit of spiritual understanding. The belief in the existence of spirits and their ability to communicate offers a sense of connection and support, providing comfort in times of uncertainty or grief. Mediumship, as a means of communication with spirits, allows individuals to seek guidance and insight from the spiritual realm, offering a different perspective on life’s challenges and decisions.
Moreover, Kardec’s emphasis on moral and ethical development resonates with many individuals seeking a deeper understanding of themselves and their place in the world. By reflecting on their actions and striving for personal improvement, individuals can align their lives with spiritual principles and values. This process of self-reflection and growth not only benefits the individual but also contributes to the betterment of society as a whole.
While Kardec’s Way of the Spirit may not be embraced by all spiritual practitioners, its teachings and principles continue to inspire and guide those who resonate with its message. The belief in the existence of spirits and their ability to communicate, the practice of mediumship, and the emphasis on moral and ethical development offer a unique perspective on spirituality that can enrich one’s spiritual journey.
In conclusion, Allan Kardec’s Way of the Spirit has had a lasting impact on modern spiritual practices. His teachings challenge traditional notions of the spirit world and offer a unique perspective on the nature of spirits and their connection to our everyday lives. By embracing the belief in spirits, practicing mediumship, and striving for moral and ethical development, individuals and communities can find solace, guidance, and personal growth in their pursuit of spiritual understanding. Kardec’s teachings continue to inspire and guide those who seek a deeper connection with the spiritual realm.

Publicis Groupe is already bundling resources as it prepares for its merger with Omnicom Group next year and seeks efficiencies.
The Paris-based holding company is streamlining its separate Publicis USA and Publicis Canada creative agency operations under a new North America umbrella.
Publicis USA offices include New York-based Publicis Kaplan Thaler, San Francisco-based Riney, Publicis Dallas and Publicis Seattle. Publicis Canada has offices in Toronto, Montréal, Calgary and Windsor.
Publicis Canada President-CEO Andrew Bruce will become CEO of Publicis North America. Mr. Bruce has been with Publicis since 1999. In January, he'll relocate from Canada to New York, where he'll also oversee Publicis Kaplan Thaler.
Susan Gianinno, chairman and CEO of Publicis USA, has been named chairman of the newly expanded region. She'll hold on to her client-facing role, the company said in a statement.
Publicis Canada Creative Director Duncan Bruce will take over for Andrew Bruce as president in the region.
Combining those operations should help Publicis create some efficiencies in North America ahead of its merger with Omnicom toward the middle of next year. Publicis and Omnicom committed to finding $500 million in annual cost savings by year five.

A breach of computer networks that contractors use to support a major weapons program provides the latest argument for why government should enforce stricter cybersecurity requirements for companies that do business with federal agencies, said former security professionals.
Hackers downloaded data about the Joint Strike Fighter, a multibillion-dollar high-tech fighter jet, known as the F-35, the Defense Department is building, by exploiting vulnerabilities in the computer networks that contractors use to design and build the aircraft's weapon systems, according to a Wall Street Journal article. While the potential impact of the breach is unknown, the most sensitive material was stored on computers not connected to the Internet and could not be accessed, WSJ reported.
"This shows how interconnected our government and industry systems are," said Gregory Garcia, who served as assistant secretary of cybersecurity and telecommunications at the Homeland Security Department during the Bush administration and now runs the information security consulting firm Garcia Strategies. "DHS and DoD have been trying to get contractors and other major companies to find common standards of practice to protect networks from these sophisticated breaches. There needs to be a new-order requirement on companies doing business with the federal government."
Government should develop similar standards for securing the global supply chain from malicious software and hardware implants that send stolen information to cyber spies who have access to federal networks, he said.
The breach also underscores the need to manage outsourcing IT functions in the Defense Department. "The outsourcing of many critical information functions within the DoD creates an aquatic environment, which allows for adversaries to transit into once segregated systems," said Tom Kellermann, vice president of security awareness at Core Security Technologies and former senior data risk management specialist for the World Bank treasury security team.
He said Titan Rain, the government name for a series of coordinated attacks on computer systems in the United States that started in 2003, was an example of such an attack. Hackers gained access to computer networks at Lockheed Martin Corp., Sandia National Laboratories and NASA, among others.
"These incidents are becoming more prevalent," Kellermann said. "The Cold War is back, but this time it is digital."
Defense does not comment on alleged or actual cyber infiltrations, potential impacts to operations or possible investigations for security reasons, Air Force Lt. Col. Eric Butterbaugh, a Pentagon spokesman, said in a prepared statement. "DoD systems are probed daily," he said.
"We aggressively monitor our networks for intrusions and have appropriate procedures to address these threats," Butterbaugh added.
Lockheed Martin, the lead contractor for the Joint Strike Fighter program, questioned the report. "While we don't usually comment on security matters, we believe the article in the Wall Street Journal was incorrect in its representation of successful cyberattacks on the F-35 program," said Cheryl Amerine, a spokeswoman for Lockheed. "To our knowledge, there has never been any classified information breech. Like the government, we have attacks on our systems continually and have stringent measures in place to detect and stop attacks."
Security researchers said Defense could improve monitoring of networks. Alan Paller, director of research at the SANS Institute, said while it's impossible to stop all cyberattacks, federal agencies, including Defense, could do a better job at real-time, continuous monitoring of network activities.
Kellermann said Defense should conduct more so-called red teaming exercises, which simulate cyberattacks, and more penetration tests aimed at not only Defense systems but also contractors' networks, which hackers often attack to infiltrate sensitive networks.
"The question to ask is whether anyone is actually watching," said a former intelligence official who asked to remain anonymous. "If no alarms are triggered, will anyone see the anomalous behaviors? Somebody needs to be mindful of what's happening at all times."
The source said the infiltration into systems for the F-35 is no different than the recent penetration of computer systems that support the nation's electric grid.
"These are all Web-based attacks, where people posted seemingly unclassified but sensitive information," he said. "The answer is to not put this information on Web sites. There's simply no way to protect every avenue of approach that a sophisticated adversary may take to get at data."

Addie Sullivan grew up in northern California in a lighthouse. It was a quiet and uneventful life until a stranger shows up and tells her she is not who she thinks she is. Addie's world and identity is turned upside down as she is introduced to her "real" family.. the Eaton's. Well known in high-society, the Eaton's are wealthy and powerful and like no family Addie has ever seen or imagined. How on earth will she begin to fit it? And as she begins to try, tragedy strikes. It seems someone is not happy to have Julia Eaton back from her watery grave and is determined to end the happy reunion.
An intriguing and exciting tale that draws the reader in and takes him/her on a roller coaster ride with emotional highs and gut wrenching drops.
This is book 1 in the Mercy Falls series by Coble. I am picking up book 2 at my local library today!

The digital divide continues to narrow in Australia but important divisions persist, and there are clear disparities between different groups in their use of the internet.
It’s a pattern that’s been apparent for some time and it has been confirmed by an analysis of data on the household use of technology released last week by the Australian Bureau of Statistics.
First, the good news. The research found 85% of Australians aged 15 and older were internet users and that 86% of Australian households had internet access in 2014-15 (up from 83% two years previous and 67% in 2007-08).
The digital divide
The kicker in these figures is that as more and more Australians are online, the disadvantage of being offline grows. So as the divide narrrows, it gets deeper.
Meanwhile, teachers assume their students have unrestricted access to the internet and set homework accordingly; businesses assume their customers are internet users and shape their offerings online; and governments shift resources to digital provision of information and opportunities to interact.
But household access to the internet is not spread evenly across Australian states and territories. At one end of the scale, 94% of ACT households enjoy an internet connection while at the other, only 82% of Tasmanian and South Australian households have access.
Those living in major cities are more likely to have access than those in rural and remote Australia; 88% of households in our major cities have access. This falls to 82% for those living inner regional and 79% for those in outer regional and remote, or very remote, areas.
While two thirds of low-income households have access, 98% of the highest-income households have an internet connection. And it’s not just access that is affected by income.
Of the lowest-income households, 44% have a tablet in the home, compared to 76% of the highest-income households. The mean number of devices used to access the internet in the lowest-income households is four compared to seven in the highest.
This is important because these devices enable individuals in the household to access the internet simultaneously. Homework can be done while someone else plays games while that night’s cook looks up recipes online.
The more highly educated you are, the more likely you are to be an internet user; 96% of those with a bachelor degree or higher use the internet. As educational attainment falls, this proportion decreases, down to 77% for those with Year 12 or below.
Internet use by employed Australians is 93%; for unemployed only 70%.
Age is still a key factor in internet use. Just over a half of Australians aged 65 or over use the internet while the corresponding figure of those aged 15-17 is 98.6%. The big drop-off in use is between those aged 55-64 (81%) and those in the oldest age group.
There are indications that older Australians who do use the internet are not deriving the benefits of younger users. Surprisingly, internet users aged 25-34 are twice as likely as those aged 65 or more to access health services online (32% to 16%).
The story is the same for regional and remote Australia. The further you get from physical health services, the less likely you are to use the internet to access online health services.
This pattern is repeated for formal education online. Of internet users living in a major city, 27% accessed formal education online compared to 21% living inner regional, 20% in outer regional and 17% who are remote or very remote areas.
Working from home
Using the internet to work from home is strongly related to income. While just under a third of employed persons living in a low-income household worked from home via the internet, 62% of those in the highest-income households teleworked.
The regional pattern was also interesting. Those living in major cities or in rural and remote Australia were equally likely to telework (46%) compared to 38% living in inner regional Australia and 35% in outer regional Australia.
Addressing the digital divide and fostering digital inclusion remains a challenging and important public policy issue in Australia. The Go Digi Project, a collaboration between Infoxchange and Australia Post, have designated 2016 the National Year of Digital Inclusion.
Telstra along with partners the Swinburne Institute and the Centre for Social Impact are developing the Australian Digital Inclusion Index to be launched later this year. This is an attempt to better understand who is not engaging online and how that might be remedied.
So there is a lot happening in this space.
As more and more resources shift online and connectivity becomes the norm for most Australians, the disadvantage faced by those not online or those with limited access, increases. And as faster broadband is rolled out via the national broadband network, the relative disadvantage of those on more modest connections will increase.
Just as importantly, building the digital capacity of disadvantaged Australians to enable them to take full advantage of online resources remains a critical issue. We must ensure that those with the most to gain from the digital revolution are able to fully engage with the online world.

look Bisexual politics ways both
While I question her "outing" prominent second-wave self-identified lesbians as bisexuals Audre Lorde, for example, calls herself a lesbian despite past relationships with men , she does show just how fuzzy the borders can be, and how often a bisexually-oriented woman chose to identify as lesbian or as a "woman-identified woman" in the context of the women's movement. The book is nevertheless a bit uneven and leaves a lot more to be said on the topic of bisexuality, biphobia, and bisexual privilege. Cantarella, E.

Montgomery County’s corned beef king finally has a permanent spot in Bethesda and the retooling Bethesda Farm Women’s Market might have its first “big draw.”
The Olney-based Corned Beef King food truck signed on for a spot at the Women’s Market (7155 Wisconsin Ave.) that will allow owner Jon Rossler to serve sandwiches and other items from 11 a.m.-9 p.m., seven days a week.
Rossler will take the truck off its typical route. He said it was difficult to keep finding drivers and suitable locations.
“I’m just going to take it down there and leave it down there and build the business,” Rossler said. “It’s hard to find great corned beef, pastrami and brisket in town. Hopefully, we’ll become the hub.”
It’s Rossler’s second attempt at a stationary location for his truck in Bethesda. Rossler had plans to bring the truck to the shuttered BP gas station at 7725 Old Georgetown Rd. on a semi-permanent basis, before the site is redeveloped into a luxury condominium building. That never materialized.
Now, Rossler will pay the Farm Women’s Market a monthly fee to set up on the property. It will allow him to expand the menu from about nine to maybe as many as 25 sandwiches.

This girl-band who are not only popular in Japan but all around the world, are finally going on a world tour, including London.
How were the group first formed?
Scandal : All four of us used to attend the same vocal and dance school in Osaka in 2006. Although we did not do any training to play instruments there, one of our teachers suggested we should take up instruments and that was how the band was first
Where was the most memorable live performance you have ever done?
Scandal : Since we formed the group it was always a big dream to play at the Osaka Castle hall and the other big venues in Osaka, and when I finally performed a one man live show there I felt that it was my most memorable performance yet. However, I think that our experience with the current world tour has topped that and is our new number one. All the time we are performing there is a feeling that this will be something we won’t forget for the rest of our lives.
This is your first ever world tour, so is there anything in particular that you are trying to be aware of?
Scandal : When doing the MC sections, we really like being able to say something in the local languages of the countries we visit. Of course, we want to do the basic greetings and stuff, but we also want to be a bit more proactive and say more on top of that. For the last gig in Paris, all the band members practiced really hard. We had studied some English in Japan but French was pretty difficult. But it was great fun, and we want to be able to say even more next time we come here.
Which country have you had the most fun in?
Scandal :We have only just started the tour at the moment and have only been to London and Paris so far, so I think we still have it all to come.
Is there anywhere else you would be interested in going to that is not on your tour schedule this time around?
Scandal : There are loads of places. We get messages on Twitter from places in South America like Chile, Argentina and Brazil, and they look like fun places to go, so we would like to visit that area someday. When we were eating dinner last night, some of the staff recommended Spain and Morocco too. I would love to go to Spain.
Congratulations on the limited edition European release of your new “best of collection” album. Could you please tell us a bit more about the thinking behind which songs were chosen for the album?
Scandal : Thank you. For this album we are releasing under the JPU Records label and we asked the guys at JPU to listen to all of our music to date and pick the ones they felt would work best for European fans and those which were liked the best there.
I hear that they chose one of SCANDAL’s songs for the theme song to Pokemon the movie XY. You have created the themes for many popular anime, but what inspired you to start writing anime music in the first place?
Scandal : At the start we simply felt that the music we make and the overall image of animation fitted well together, and so arranged it so we could do some anime themes. Pokemon was an anime that we had all watched since we were very young and we all had very strong memories of it, so we really wanted to work on that. When we were approached to do the Pokemon movie theme, they explained what kind of image they were looking for in great detail and Tomomi wrote the lyrics to fit with that vision.
Do you all personally like anime then?
Scandal :We love anime. Our favourite is Pokemon and we have all been fans since we were really small. And Sailor Moon too. Recently Sailor Moon has had a remake done in Japan, and there is a new series, so we are watching it again now. It really makes us feel nostalgic seeing it.
Could we please have a message for the readers of Zoom Japan?
Scandal : This is our first time here in the U.K. and we really did not expect to spend such an intense, crazy night here, so we are overjoyed. We really feel that we have to come back here again, so please keep on supporting us!

Welsh trip a geat success(October 03, 2013)
Kesteven RDA volunteers have just returned from taking six riders on a holiday to the Clwyd Special Riding Centre, thanks to generous sponsorship from the C.L.A. (Country Landowners Association).
All the riders live locally and are members of the Thursday Saddle Club which is held at The Paddocks Riding Centre, Hough on the Hill on a weekly basis. The riders enjoy a 90 minute session which comprises of riding, a session on the horse simulator and pony care. The Saddle Club recently won the Brilliant Idea category at the prestigious 2013 RDA Gala Awards and group trustees were presented with an engraved crystal trophy by Claire Balding at a ceremony held at the Plaisters’ Hall, London.
The holiday gave the riders a chance to get hands on involvement with the horses on a daily basis, each rider having their own horse for the five days.
After a hearty breakfast the riders (with their volunteers) caught their horses from the field, groomed in the indoor school before tacking up ready to ride. The centre has all weather tracks around the fields and the riders enjoyed exploring the Welsh countryside at their own pace. By the end of the five days, some of the riders were riding off the lead rein, trotting solo on the tracks. The riders also learnt to clean their tack, which they took pride in undertaking at the end of each session. Group instructor, Sarah Harris created a holiday diary for the riders to complete and all the riders gained the riding Holiday badge during the week.
Other activities enjoyed by the riders were tenpin bowling in Wrexham, a visit to the Wrexham Science Discovery Centre, arts and crafts afternoon and an evening meal at the local pub.
Riders comments were: “I thought the centre was wonderful, the staff were really friendly and I enjoyed the trekking on Mr Harvey. Thank you and I’d love to go again.”
“My favourite bit about the trip was helping to look after Taran the horse, it was great” “Frazer and I would like to say a massive thank you for letting us have such an amazing time. One which we will treasure in our memories forever .The warmth and friendship shown by the volunteers throughout our stay made the whole experience magical.”
Fundraising team member, Claire Honeywood commented “This was my first time joining the group on holiday, I was a bit apprehensive but all this disappeared on arrival. The staff at the centre were friendly, the facilities were great and everyone fell in love with the ponies. There were many achievements made from the riders during their stay, which was very rewarding as a volunteer. I am very much looking forward to the next one.”
The team were well fed and watered by volunteer, Rita Scott who produced wonderful meals at the drop of a hat and all the volunteers worked extremely hard to make sure the riders got the full benefit of the holiday.
