EF Go Ahead Tours and Ancestry Collaboration to Launch New Tour Porfolio
September 5, 2017
Unique tour portfolio will offer experiences that take travelers on a journey into their personal histories
EF Go Ahead Tours and Ancestry today announced a new portfolio of tours that will take travelers on a journey into their personal histories. These exciting trips combine Ancestry’s proprietary DNA technology and access to expert Genealogists with Go Ahead’s high-quality international travel experiences. The new portfolio of heritage trips will launch this fall with itineraries in 2018 to Ireland, Italy, and Germany. New tours featuring additional destinations will be announced in early 2018 with first departures in 2019.
“We are thrilled to team up with Ancestry to introduce this special way for travelers to experience a destination in a new light,” said David Henry, VP of Marketing at Go Ahead. “So many of our customers travel to connect with their heritage, and this was our inspiration to collaborate with the team at Ancestry. These trips will help our customers explore their family story with even greater insight and visit the places where their ancestors once walked.”
The journey begins with an AncestryDNA kit, which analyzes DNA and provides a breakdown of a person’s ethnic background. Go Ahead travelers will then have the opportunity to build their family tree and discuss their results with an expert from AncestryProGenealogists during a pre-trip family history review. Every journey will be led by a local Tour Director and Ancestry Genealogist, who will provide family history context and bring a personal perspective to each destination. Genealogical adventurers will gain a deeper understanding of their family’s past and the knowledge of how to continue learning about their ancestors’ history once back home.
“Personal genealogy is so important, and certainly means different things to different people,” said Kyle Betit, Senior Genealogist and Travel Program Manager at AncestryProGenealogists. “We believe that these trips will give people the opportunity to trace their roots on a deeper level and maybe even discover something new or exciting about their own ancestors.”

Recent studies have proved the connection between your diet and hair loss.
Hair loss, also called alopecia, is a common condition affecting about 50 percent of men and women at the age of 50. Alopecia may happen in patches (alopecia areata) or on the entire scalp (alopecia totalis).
Causes of hair loss
The main causes of hair loss are genetics, hormones, chronic diseases, diets, vitamin deficiency, lack of protein, and telogen effluvium, a form of temporary hair loss caused by stress or trauma.
A 2017 study recommended that people suffering from hair loss should be screened for nutrients deficiency. Hair growth and hair structure may be impacted by calorie and protein malnutrition and micronutrient deficiency.
Anemia by iron deficiency is a well-known cause of hair loss. Premenopausal women are at higher risk due to menstrual blood loss.
Vegetarians and vegans have a high risk to develop iron deficiency. The kind of iron found in plants has a lower bioavailability than heme iron from meat and fish, making it more difficult to be processed by the body.
Vegetarians are also at risk for zinc deficiency as zinc bioavailability is lower in vegetables than meat. A medical study with 312 patients revealed that all of them had lower zinc concentrations compared to healthy controls.
Selenium is essential to protect the hair follicle from oxidative damage. Risk factors for deficiency include living in areas with low selenium soil content and some chronic diseases.
Vitamin D is an important micronutrient for hair structure and its deficiency may result from inadequate sun exposure and obesity. A 2017 study showed that vitamin D levels were significantly lower than in controls.
High levels of vitamin A have been linked to hair loss. In a mouse with alopecia, a reduction of vitamin A in the diet helped to control the hair loss. Niacin deficiency may cause diffuse alopecia for lack of vitamin B3.
Over-supplementation of selenium, Vitamin A, and Vitamin E has been linked to hair loss. However, a balanced diet with fruits, proteins, and vegetables can give you a healthy hair.
At New-U, we provide all of our clients and patients with the very latest in men’s hair restoration and women’s hair restoration and hair loss treatment solutions, including hair transplantation, non-surgical hair replacement and hair loss prevention and treatment programs.

For every Tube station that has been built in the 160-year history of the London Underground that makes such a difference to our daily commute, there are countless others that were never built. Some of these "lost" stations date from the early days of the Underground when rival planners vied with each other to corner the market and presented the Government with plans for unrealistic lines and stations that would never come to be.
Yet some of these non-starters also date from the later development of the Tube when it was much more in its maturity. The most ambitious of them all was part of a failed plan called The Northern Heights scheme - a grand plan to expand the Underground to the north of the capital by bringing together a web of existing London and North Eastern Railway (LNER) overground lines north of Highgate.
READ MORE:The 'weirdest shaped' London Underground station that has a 7-sided tower
The plan was to extend the existing lines to include London's northern hills with routes from Edgware to Bushey Heath, a section from Mill Hill East to Edgware, and a line from Finsbury Park to Alexandra Palace with an interchange linking it to the Northern Line at Highgate. Some new sections would be built and some existing overland routes electrified.
As part of this scheme, three grand new stations were to be built that would have been key links in this grand new route. They were designed by celebrated London Underground architect Charles Holden and in many ways were to be his crowning glories. Perhaps the most ambitious of them all was to be Bushey Heath.
This was slated to be built to the north of Stanmore. It would have been the base for a huge new depot to house the posh new Class 38 trains that were to run on the Northern Heights sections and the Northern Line.
Bushey Heath station itself was to be located on the east side of the roundabout junction of Watford By-pass (A41) and Elstree Road (A411). The station would have had three tracks with two double-sided platforms.
It was to be provided with a large bus station and car park and the London Passenger Transport Board (LPTB), planned to purchase the land on all four sides of the junction and wanted to build commercial development around the roundabout. Linked to the station, this would have been way ahead of its times and would have included a cinema, pub and around 40 shops. This was a massively ambitious plan. Holden's drawings for the scheme show it would have followed a similar shape to many of his Piccadilly Line stations but would have been much larger. There would have been a trademark tower, curved booking halls and waiting areas and a landscaped areas outside the station.
Over two storeys, teh station would have been bigger than anything yet seen on the Underground and an incredibly modern concept surrounded by its shops, eateries and cinemas.
Construction work on the Northern Heights project did begin in the late 1930s, but Second World War put paid to everything. Work between Edgware and Bushey Heath had actually started in June 1939. The route of the line had been cleared and laid out and some earthworks and tunneling carried out between Edgware and Elstree South. But in September 1939 on the outbreak of war, this work was halted and was ended permanently that December as all funding was pumped into the war effort. Construction of Bushey Heath station had not started when the Second World War began.
During the war years, the LPTB-owned land was used for farming vegetables for staff canteens and depot buildings were used to build Halifax bombers. But work on designs for the station did continue during the war to make changes required to account for the Ministry of Transport's plans to modify the roundabout to include an underpass. This moved the station from the east side of the roundabout to the north side with the lines running under Elstree Road. The revised arrangement could have allowed a continuation of the line beyond Bushey Heath.
After the war through, new schemes to protect the Green Belt land to the north of London were brought in. This would mean that the new homes that would have provided the passengers for the Northern heights lines were unlikely ever to get built. The Northern Heights plan was shelved forever in 1950.
Bushey Heath, potentially a station that would have outshone all others on the London Underground, was to remain forever on the drawing board.

Mareike Böhmer is a user interface designer from Germany. She plays with textures, colors and shapes in her artwork to (re)create a world in which the border between photography and graphic design is blurred. Whether preconceived or created on a whim, Mareike’s graphic artworks all have one thing in common: they’re colorful, bright and highly abstract. Using a plethora of forms and Photoshop as her toolbox, each piece evolves into a mosaic of colors and rough textures. Mareike draws inspiration from the clear, timeless lines found in Scandinavian design as well as the vibrant world of urban street art in her favorite city, Berlin. Nature also serves as an endless source of inspiration, as she transforms trees, leaves, flowers, and even the clouds in the sky into motifs reminiscent of graphic patterns. “Creating new artworks is an exciting and surprising journey”, says Mareike, “-you never know what will happen”.

Water, in its many forms, is a force to be reckoned with. It can give life, or it can take it; it is the foundation of our planet, and a meaningful factor in human existence. Of all the naturally occurring entities in the world, water – embracing the earth with oceans, rivers and lakes crossing and dotting the land, the atmosphere emptying itself upon all from above in the form of precipitation – presents as the most mysterious, the most unpredictable, and the most paradoxical.
Therefore, it is not surprising that this simple substance is rich with symbolism in both real life and literature. Water symbolism consists of two opposing images. First, there is the concept of water as a catalyst of life; it is the fuel of organic survival, and it renews and revives the damaged and dirty. Baptism and the use of water as an instrument of cleansing, physically and spiritually, coincide with this viewpoint. However, the contrasting perspective cannot be ignored.
Water also has a dangerous energy with the ability to drown life in its excesses faster than it can create it, swallowing up into its depths what cannot stay afloat and wiping away all traces of what lay in its path on occasions of complete annihilation.
In Celeste Ng’s harrowing contemporary novel Everything I Never Told You, the rain, the lake, and other water-related symbols demonstrate both angles, representing death and rebirth be it literal or figurative. This story of a Chinese American family in the 1970s tells of a heart-wrenching tragedy that ultimately dismantles the carefully constructed front keeping the characters together, and it is the integral setting for loss and starting anew. The Lee family loses their favorite child Lydia to a mysterious drowning in a nearby lake, and then they must learn how to forgive their mistakes and put the pieces of their shattered lives back together again. While water is certainly an entity of dual purpose, Ng combines the image of it as a restorative life force with that of it as a destructive and deadly energy to provide a keen insight on the cyclic nature of human life.
Throughout the novel there are times when water comes into play after an internal conflict is resolved to represent a positive change in a character, a rebirth or renewal of spirit. This symbolism even manifests itself in Lydia Lee’s inability to swim because she “would not even come near the water”, representing this lack of spiritual growth and positive change in Lydia (Ng 24). In literature, when one is submerged in water and lives, this is a sort of baptism, and “the self who bobs to the surface and clings to the sailboat is a new being” (Foster 83). Lydia’s refusal to accept this potential baptism by not learning to swim is reflected in the stubborn stasis of her character’s persona of subservience to her parent’s wishes. In contrast, even when Lydia’s brother Nath wills himself to die by drowning when he falls into the lake during his fight with Jack, he realizes “It’s too late. He’s already learned how not to drown” and he lets himself float to the surface (Ng 290). Nath’s submersion represents a change in his demeanor, and the feelings of anger and confusion have figuratively been washed away. At this point, he accepts that Lydia is gone and acknowledges that he must move on with his family and his own future endeavors. Once this symbolic baptism has taken place and Nath surfaces, he focuses on his youngest sister Hannah so as to not lose sight of her and to maintain his new convictions (Ng 292).
Likewise, after going to her childhood home to make sure her recently deceased mother’s things are in order, Lydia’s mother Marilyn accepts her shift in principles as she stands in the road on her journey back to let the rain drench her completely, demonstrating that “rain can be restorative and cleansing” (Foster 84). Marilyn has a revelation on her drive back to her family; the only memorable thing about her mother was the meals she prepared. Fearing that she will ultimately become like her mother whom she looked down upon, a housewife only to be valued for her domestic servitude, Marilyn vows, “Never. I will never end up like that” (Ng 86). She voluntarily allows the heavy rain to douse her, and even claims the drops sound like an applause. When she gets back into her car, she removes her clothes, shedding her old complacency for a new conviction. She is unclothed, vulnerable, and exposed as one is in birth, but instead of being embarrassed by this denudation, she admires it as she is proud of her new self (Ng 86). This is the beginning of a new chapter in Marilyn’s life during which she vows to be professionally significant in the medical field currently dominated by men, or else force Lydia into this role so that she may live vicariously through her. Ironically, Marilyn’s fervor in her reborn identity is in part what drives Lydia to venture out onto the lake that fated night and experience the other more negative side of water symbolism.
Although water has the ability to give new life and meaning to a person, it can also suddenly and mercilessly take it away. Each drowning in literature serves its own specific purpose, and in some cases can be symbolic of character revelation and failure (Foster 85). In Lydia’s case, she realizes she has been drowning figuratively for quite some time as she tries to fulfill the conflicting wishes of each of her parents in her everyday life without taking a moment to consider her own happiness. Her life is pulled to and fro by a current of fear – fear of losing her father’s love, of her mother leaving their family again for good, of her brother forgetting about her in college across the country. It is only a matter of time before she cannot keep herself afloat with this false identity and gets swallowed up in the depths of her misery. There is no where for Lydia to turn; she has waded too deep into a tide of falsities, and so on her final night: She looked down at the lake, which in the dark looked like nothing, just blackness, a great void spreading beneath her. It would be all right, she told herself, and she stepped out of the boat into the water. (Ng 276). Lydia comes to terms with her mistakes, but for her it is too late. The lake erases all evidence of the complexly fabricated life she lived out of fear of abandonment, and ultimately she must die to be rid of the painful phony parallel of how she should have lived.
Everything I Never Told You explains the duality of water, and its power to give and take life illustrated by the convoluted lives of the Lee family. In all its forms, water is a cleansing entity that changes the prevalent flaws in literary figures, typically by correcting and adjusting the flaw or eliminating that damaged figure altogether. There is a certain fluidity to human nature, a pattern of ups and downs reflected in the way people in literature are affected by the precipitation and bodies of water in their setting, which can be sustaining and destructive alternately and without warning. Imagery and symbolism having to do with water have such a prominent and recurring role in literature because its significance in terms of survival and change can take on a multitude of meanings. With the power to be both inhibiting and freeing, water is an especially vital life force.

microchannel evaporator, refrigerant distribution
This paper demonstrates that Flash Gas Bypass (FGB) method significantly improved the performances of the microchannel evaporator and the system, compared to the conventional direct expansion (DX) system. When system in both modes operated at the same compressor speed, the system in FGB mode produces about 13% to 18% more cooling capacity at 4% to 7% higher COP than in DX mode. When compressor speed was adjusted to maintain the same cooling capacity, COP improves 37% to 55%. Based on experimental results, a detailed microchannel heat exchanger model considering the refrigerant distribution helps to identify the two mechanisms augmenting the performances: 1) improved refrigerant quality distribution and 2) the reduction of refrigerant pressure drop across the evaporator.

Each Friday, Chart Beat presents "Bubbling Under," a weekly look at new and noteworthy acts making their way toward Billboard chart success.
Up this week: Casey Abrams, Chris Wallace, Hopsin and Half Mile Home
2011 "American Idol" sixth-place finalist Casey Abrams notches his first entry on a Billboard genre airplay chart, as "Get Out" (Concord/CMG) debuts on Adult Contemporary at No. 27. The song is the first single from his self-titled debut album, which opened atop Heatseekers Albums three weeks ago and has sold 10,000 copies, according to Nielsen SoundScan. The set from the 21-year-old Texas-born singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist includes appearances by Jamie Cullum and Abrams' "Idol" co-contestant Haley Reinhart.
Former White Tie Affair frontman Chris Wallace is off to a promising start going it alone. The singer's uptempo debut solo single "Remember When" (ThinkSay) is garnering early support from adult pop KZZO Sacramento, Calif. (20 plays in the July 16-22 tracking week, according to Nielsen BDS), and pop WLAN Lancaster, Pa. (15). Said ThinkSay co-founder Ben Singer in the Billboard Top 40 Update (July 12), the song's infectiousness "makes you want to roll down your windows and sing in standstill traffic."
(* Language in video above may not be appropriate for all audiences.) "Ill Mind of Hopsin 5" (Funk Volume) is the fifth installment in socially-conscious rapper Hopsin's "Ill Mind" series, in which the Los Angeles-based rapper expresses frustration with today's jaded youth and disenchantment toward famous, unrelatable rappers. The track bows at No. 17 on R&B/Hip-Hop Digital Songs (20,000 downloads sold, according to SoundScan) after its video hit the front page of the Reddit website and registered 2 million views in its first day. The online buzz likewise helped enable Hopsin's No. 17 debut this week on the Social 50.
Half Mile Home
Akron, Ohio-based all-male quintet Half Mile Home eyes its first national chart ink with "Change My Life" (God Made Millionairze), which simmers just below the Gospel Songs chart, with BDS reporting airplay at 18 of the 45 stations monitored for the ranking. WOAD-AM Jackson, Miss., logged the most spins for the song during the survey's tracking week (31), while WEUP-AM Huntsville, Ala., leads in plays to date (591 through July 22). The group has also recorded R&B material under the name After the Rain.

A harbinger is one that initiates a major change—a person or thing that originates or helps open up a new activity, method, or new technology.
In my career, I consider myself to be a harbinger of hope.
As a group fitness instructor, I want to foster belief in my followers. I want to help my audience take a step in the right direction. I want to get them a win as quickly and as early as possible, and with it, comes a promise for a healthy and happy future.
I want to lead people to greatness. I want to stand out, get butts off couches, and make a lasting impact. I want to give people back the belief they have in themselves.
In no particular order, here are 10 inspirational and motivational things you can say to people that will undoubtedly make them smile and respond favorably to you:
1. Your eyes are glowing; you look so radiant.
The eyes tell stories that your mouth can’t always describe. I always look into people’s eyes first, and open my mouth second. If you pay someone a genuine compliment about their eyes, it signifies an awareness and a true care about the other person. Telling someone they look radiant is a surefire way to get a smile and maybe even a blush.
2. That color looks fabulous on you.
Colors are also an amazing indicator of a person’s mood and overall outlook. If you were to look in my closet, you would see every color of the rainbow, and I try to mix up my wardrobe often and regularly. It’s amazing what bright, bold colors can do for your aura and confidence levels. The next time you see someone wearing a color that suits them and makes them shine, mention it. It will certainly make their day, and add “pep in their step.”
3. When you smile, you light up a room.
I know tons of folks who feel fabulous when being told this! This phrase is absolutely the most amazing thing to say to someone else, if it’s coming from an authentic place.
4. I believe in you.
Need I say more? When a person believes in your abilities, strengths, talents, accomplishments, doesn’t it make you feel good inside? I know that if the person saying this to me looks me in the eyes and says it with a smile, it makes me feel on top of the world.
5. You’re so kind/generous/compassionate/understanding.
Make no mistake: these are the best qualities for any person to possess. If someone notices them in you, it’s a wonderful thing, indeed. Aim to be any or all of these things—it will serve you well in every area of your life.
6. I appreciate you.
I love this phrase. It speaks volumes. When you’re appreciated, you feel unstoppable. You feel noticed and loved and cared for. That makes for a happy life, doesn’t it?
7. If you need anything at all, please don’t hesitate to call. I’m here for you.
Of course, this one only feels inspirational to someone if it’s coming from a genuine person who really cares for their well-being and welfare. Otherwise, it can be taken as a trite statement.
For me, this one makes me feel warm inside—but only if it’s said from someone who truly has my back and wants me to feel safe and secure.
8. You have such a great way with words.
I was having a chat with a colleague recently, when she said these exact words to me. It made me feel not only heard, but appreciated. I smiled afterward because I feel I made an impression on her, and perhaps, also made her see the situation differently from my perspective. If someone tells you that your way of speaking has an impact on them, take it and run. It’s an amazing statement to hear. If people respond to you favorably in this way, it can only be a good thing.
9. I love your cooking.
I love to cook, and for me, it’s such a fantastic thing to hear from someone who enjoys my food. I honestly love to nurture and care for anyone who sits at my table, so to know that I’m appreciated for my efforts in this way makes me feel so damn good about myself.
10. You’re such a good influence.
Boom! I saved the best for last.
I don’t know anyone who would be in a sh*tty mood after hearing this coming from another person. I hear this statement so often in my career, that it must be true.
Here’s the caveat: don’t walk around like you’re better than anyone else. Don’t be arrogant. Don’t lose that humble spirit. Take an inspirational and motivational comment like this, lock it into your psyche and always remember your worth. If someone says you’re an inspiration, you are a selfless, beautiful, and wonderful human being.
There are a ton more inspirational and motivational things that you can say to others to make them smile, but these are my top 10 favorites.
Make someone’s day. Be kind.
Hope this list gave you some light and made you smile.


The Aam Aadmi Party may back Congress-led Opposition presidential candidate Meira Kumar, party sources said today even as they ruled out support to NDA’s pick Ram Nath Kovind.
The AAP has been holding parleys with the Left parties, and Trinamool Congress to arrive at a decision.
“There is no question of supporting (Narendra) Modi’s candidate. We may support Meira Kumar but we are yet to take a decision,” said an AAP leader, on condition of anonymity.
However, the leader downplayed Congress not inviting the AAP to the discussions that were held with many opposition parties before Kumar’s candidature was announced.
He said the AAP was “happy” to maintain a “distance” from the Congress. AAP is the principal opposition party in Punjab, where Congress is in power.
In the 2013 Delhi Assembly polls, the AAP defeated Congress and ended its 15-year rule in the national capital.
As Delhi’s ruling party and Punjab’s principal opposition, the AAP has four MPs in the Lok Sabha, and 85 MLAs, which translates to around 9,000 votes in the electoral college.

More than 40 Tory seats at risk from a stealth tax election backlash
More than 40 Tory seats including those held by serving and former ministers at risk from election backlash by voters being stung by stealth income tax rises that will see millions more paying higher rates
More than 40 Tory seats, including those held by senior serving and former ministers, are at risk from a voter backlash against stealth tax rises at the next election.
Constituencies currently held by former deputy PM Dominic Raab, ex-party leader Sir Iain Duncan Smith and serving Cabinet ministers Alex Chalk and Alun Cairns are among those which could be lost in a backlash by those dragged into higher rate bands.
The seats, which span England, Scotland and Wales, had Conservative majorities over Labour and the Liberal Democrats in 2019 that are lower than the number of voters dragged into paying the higher 40p or 45p rates of income tax since that election.
Rishi Sunak and Jeremy Hunt are facing mounting pressure to cut taxes before the next election a mind growing fears of a Tory wipeout, with calls also for Mr Hunt to be replaced by a bolder Chancellor.
A poll by Redfield & Wilton Strategies last night saw Labour extending its lead over the Tories by four points to 18 points, after winning two shock by-election victories last week in Tamworth and Mid Bedfordshire.
Income Tax thresholds were frozen by Mr Sunak when he was chancellor, and critics argue that coupled with painfully high inflation they are quietly dragging millions of people into paying higher rates without any change to the system.
The Liberal Democrats, who compiled the analysis of seats potentially at risk, cited HMRC figures showing there are 5.6 million higher rate income tax payers in 2023-24, up 46 per cent since 2019-20. It is targeting Tory seats in the affluent ‘Blue Wall’ in the south.
The party’s Treasury spokeswoman Sarah Olney MP said: ‘We’ve spoken to countless former lifelong Conservative voters who are furious about facing endless unfair tax hikes under Rishi Sunak’s government. Ordinary families are being asked to pay the price for years of Conservative chaos and failure and won’t put up with it any longer.
Constituencies currently held by former deputy PM Dominic Raab (left) and serving Cabinet minister Alex Chalk (right) are among those which could be lost in a backlash by those dragged into higher rate bands. Mr Raab is standing down at the next election.
The seats of Sir Iain Duncan Smith (left) and Sir Alok Sharma (right) are also at risk. Sir Alok is standing down at the next election.
Lib Dem Treasury spokeswoman Sarah Olney MP said: ‘We’ve spoken to countless former lifelong Conservative voters who are furious about facing endless unfair tax hikes under Rishi Sunak’s government.’
‘It just shows the Conservative Party has turned its back on their former heartlands in Middle England. Conservative MPs risk being swept away at the next election because they’ve voted through tax rise after tax rise for their constituents.’
Other former ministers and high-profile seats at risk include the Moray seat of Scottish Tory leader Douglass Ross and, Transport Minister Richard Holden’s North West Durham seat and the Reading West constituency held by Sir Alok Sharma, who was business secretary and then president of the Cop26 environmental summit.
Theresa Villiers, a former Northern Ireland and environment secretary, Stephen Hammond, the former health minister and Steve Brine, the former chairman of the health select committee, could also all see their seats taken by Labour or the Lib Dems.
However there are several curveballs which could come into play. Many MPs whose seats are at risk are standing down at the next election, including Mr Raab, Mr Ross and Sir Alok.
Additionally, widespread changes to constituency sizes and boundaries will also affect the result. Mr Holden’s seat, for example, is being folded into neighbouring seats and will cease to exist at the next election.
Tory calls have been mounting for Jeremy Hunt to ease the pressure on struggling families by cutting taxes – as the burden heads for the highest level since the Second World War.
Which Tory seats are at risk from stealth tax backlash?
Here are 41 seats which voted Tory in 219 where the party’s majority is lower than the number of voters being dragged into high rate income tax bands

Brits are facing fresh warnings about the ‘softening’ jobs market today after figures showed employment flatlining.
The proportion in work was 75.7 per cent in the three months to August, unchanged from the quarter to July. Unemployment also held steady at 4.2 per cent.
But concerns have been raised about the wider picture as the economy stalls, with pay growth easing back and vacancies dipping.
The latest ‘experimental’ labour market figures had been delayed by a week due to issues gathering data.
The ONS said it has used other sources to produce estimates, but urged caution in interpreting them.
The proportion in work was 75.7 per cent in the three months to August, unchanged from the quarter to July. Unemployment also held steady at 4.2 per cent
Secretary of State for Work and Pensions Mel Stride said: ‘There are more than one million more people on company payrolls compared to 2019, a near record high, and today’s statistics also show inactivity has fallen by over a quarter of a million since the pandemic peak.
‘Growing the economy is our priority. That’s why we are bearing down on inflation and bringing in the next generation of welfare reforms to drive down inactivity and help more people into work.’
Stephen Evans, chief executive at Learning and Work Institute, said: ‘The new estimates should be treated with caution but add to the picture from other data of a softening labour market, with vacancies dipping below one million for the first time since 2021.
Jon Fitzmaurice of the Work Foundation highlighted ‘a falling demand for workers which is likely to dampen pay growth in the coming months’.
Jane Gratton, Deputy Director Public Policy at the British Chambers of Commerce said: ‘It’s disappointing to see the number of economically inactive again ticking up, reversing recent trends. Employers need substantial flows of people back into job seeking and employment.’

Is there an Islamic State threat for Americans celebrating the Fourth of July weekend in the United States? According to chatter on ISIS terrorist channels, yes. Site Intel, an international terrorism watchdog group, reports that jihadists have warned of alleged attacks at LAX, JFK, and London Heathrow airports this weekend.
In a recent video “celebrating” the Orlando terrorist attack at a gay night club, ISIS threatened not only its usual targets of New York and Washington DC, but also San Francisco and Las Vegas.
ISIS has been especially active recently during the Islamic holy month of “Ramadan.” Ramadan is the time that Muslims believe that the Quran was revealed to Mohammed. It ends on July 6 with Eid al-Fitr. However, the Islamic State will still remain a threat.

Yesterday I found this painting at a consignment store. I stood there in the store staring at it for a quite some time. I just loved the fact that the flowers were still vibrant and beautiful even though the background was dreary and depressing. It felt like a good reminder to carry (inner) beauty with you into dark places.
It was raining outside so the shop owner put the painting into a plastic garbage bag for me so in wouldn’t get wet.
When I got the painting home, I pulled it out to find a place to hang it. I was surprised and delighted to see that in the proper light, it actually looked like this…
I do love metaphors – allow me to indulge in a few?
The first would be about perspective. Look at something or someone from only one perspective and you might be missing something really beautiful. Never assume you truly see (nor understand) the whole picture based on how things appear from a limited viewpoint.
Second, if you can recognize the beauty in something or someone when their (inner) light has been dimmed by their circumstances, imagine how beautiful they may truly be when the light returns.
Similarly, if you can cultivate beauty, grace and joy under difficult circumstances…just imagine how glorious you will be to behold when the sun shines on you once again.
Lastly, there is beauty to be found in dark places, if you’re willing to take the time to really look.

The Mbaise elders particularly the PDP Apex Leaders have demonstratively made it clear that they were solidly behind what they described as the positive aspiration of Rt. Hon. Emeka Ihedioha for the November 11, 2023 Imo State governorship election.
In a letter signed by the three zonal apex PDP leaders namely, His Excellency, Air Commodore Luke Ochulor, former military administrator of Delta State., Chief Mike Ahamba, SAN., and Chief PGU Madu, representing Ezinihitte, Aboh Mbaise and Ahiazu Mbaise LGAs respectively, the leaders under the umbrella of Mbaise PDP Apex Leaders, threw thier weight, support and obligations to Ihedioha’s 2023 Imo governorship ambition.
The elders and leaders dismissed a recent report which claimed that Mbaise nation had endorsed the national secretary of the party, Senator Samuel Anyanwu, insisting they were not a party to the so called endorsement.
According to it, “Our attention has been drawn to a purported endorsement of Senator Samuel Anyanwu, National Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, for the 2023 Imo State governorship election by some individuals in Mbaise Clan.
“We wish to make it clear that we were not part of any such meeting or its purported outcome”.
The Mbaise elders and leaders stated it without any fear or contradiction, of their unflinching support for the former Imo State governor, Ihedioha.
“It is important to restate that the entire Mbaise Clan is obviously and solidly in total support of their son, His Excellency, Rt. Hon. Emeka Ihedioha, CON, who was duly elected by the good people of Imo State in the March 9, 2019 governorship election.
“We make no pretences to state the fact that Rt. Hon. Emeka Ihedioha remains the darling and indeed the popular choice of the Imo electorate ahead of this year’s governorship election based on his sterling leadership qualities and unrivaled scorecard during the seven.months of his Rebuild Imo administration”, the release enthused.
The group also warned all agents destabilization and groups with divisive tendencies to steer clear of Mbaise country. It states, “We wish to seize this opportunity to caution overzealous elements not to play politics with our emotions”.
The leaders of thought noted that “rumour mongers, peddlers of fake news, divisive elements and purveyors of deceitful ambition are hereby warned to steer clear of Mbaise land and desist from making further reckless and inflammatory statement with serious issues of governance of our State at this very critical time”.
It is on record that not just the Mbaise leaders and people but virtually all groups in Imo cutting across political, religious, cultural, professional and social leanings have been calling for the return of Ihedioha who proved beyond doubt that Imo could work in his seven month reign.
Also, almost all the 27 LGAs covering the three senatorial zones are in solidarity and one accord in their separate and collective demands for Ihedioha’s re- election on November 11, 2023.

Differential role of anterior cingulate cortical glutamatergic neurons in pain-related aversion learning and nociceptive behaviors in male and female rats

Jarrin, Sarah, Pandit, Abhay, Roche, Michelle, & Finn, David P. (2020). Differential Role of Anterior Cingulate Cortical Glutamatergic Neurons in Pain-Related Aversion Learning and Nociceptive Behaviors in Male and Female Rats. Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 14(139). doi:10.3389/fnbeh.2020.00139
Pain is comprised of both sensory and affective components. The anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) is a key brain region involved in the emotional processing of pain. Specifically, glutamatergic transmission within the ACC has been shown to modulate pain-related aversion. In the present study, we usein vivooptogenetics to activate or silence, using channelrhodopsin (ChR2) and archaerhodopsin (ArchT) respectively, calmodulin-kinase II alpha (CaMKII alpha)-expressing excitatory glutamatergic neurons of the ACC during a formalin-induced conditioned place aversion (F-CPA) behavioral paradigm in both female and male adult Sprague-Dawley rats. Expression of c-Fos, a marker of neuronal activity, was assessed within the ACC using immunohistochemistry. Optogenetic inhibition of glutamatergic neurons of the ACC abolished F-CPA without affecting formalin-induced nociceptive behavior during conditioning. In male rats, optogenetic activation of ACC glutamatergic neurons decreased formalin-induced nociceptive behavior during conditioning without affecting F-CPA. Interestingly, the opposite effect was seen in females, where optogenetic activation of glutamatergic neurons of the ACC increased formalin-induced nociceptive behavior during conditioning. The abolition of F-CPA following optogenetic inhibition of glutamatergic neurons of the ACC was associated with a reduction in c-Fos immunoreactivity in the ACC in male rats, but not female rats. These results suggest that excitatory glutamatergic neurons of the ACC play differential and sex-dependent roles in the aversion learning and acute sensory components of pain.

Steak at stake in Broncos-Ravens game, as well as crab cakes, lamb

The governors of Colorado and Maryland and the mayors of Denver and Baltimore have bet renowned local food items on the outcome of Saturday's NFL playoff game between the Denver Broncos and Baltimore Ravens.
Gov. Hickenlooper and Gov. O’Malley make bet on playoff game this weekend
DENVER — Friday, Jan. 11, 2013 — Chesapeake Bay crab cakes will be coming to Colorado after the Denver Broncos beat the Baltimore Ravens tomorrow.
“The Denver Broncos are the hottest team in football. We look forward to welcoming the Baltimore Ravens to the thin air in Denver and the raucous atmosphere at Sports Authority Field at Mile High,” Gov. John Hickenlooper said. “We can’t think of a better place than Colorado for Ray Lewis to play the last game of his remarkable career.”
Hickenlooper will receive one dozen Chesapeake Bay crab cakes from Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley after the Broncos win. Should the unexpected happen and the Ravens win, Hickenlooper will send one dozen Colorado lamb chops to Maryland.
“The AFC North Division Champion Baltimore Ravens have been to the playoffs for five straight years, and continue to prove that they are one of the best teams in football,” O’Malley said. “We look forward to the game Saturday, and wish the Ravens well as they march through Denver all the way to the Super Bowl — and we can’t wait to enjoy those Colorado lamb chops.”
Also today, Hickenlooper ordered Denver Broncos flags be flown at the state Capitol to join in the “United in Orange” campaign in support of the team.

The Special and Area Studies Collections Department seeks to collect materials that reflect the breadth of human experience in support of the educational mission of the University of Florida. We are committed to acquisition practices that reflect sound stewardship of institutional and community resources. We practice ongoing review of existing collections to ensure diversity and inclusion in description, access, and outreach. Curators collaborate across collections to better represent distinct and overlapping identities and experiences, and to redress gaps in individual collections or across collections.
The impetus for a research-level collection containing Hebraica as well as Judaica was recognized in 1973 with the formation of the University of Florida’s Center for Jewish Studies. Today the Center offers a Bachelor of Arts in Jewish studies as well as a minor certificate as part of a vibrant, multidisciplinary program taught by faculty members drawn from the academic departments of History, Religion, Asian and African Languages and Literatures, and English.
History of the Collection
The University of Florida Libraries’ core holdings supporting Jewish Studies are housed at the Price Library of Judaica, named for Isser and Rae Price of Jacksonville in recognition of an endowment created in 1977 in their honor by their sons, Jack and Sam, both UF alumni. The “3M” foundation collections (Mishkin, Marenoff, Morgenstern) were acquired between 1977 and 1979; to these have been added thousands of new and retrospective titles so that the Price Library, with over 120,000 volumes, is the largest collection of Judaica and Hebraica in the southeastern United States. The collection is, for the most part, a fully cataloged and circulating collection of twentieth-century monographs, these holdings are supplemented by over 450 current periodical subscriptions and an equal number of increasingly scarce serials that are no longer current. At least half of the collection consists of books and scarce pamphlets in Hebrew and Yiddish, while microforms of manuscripts and newspapers and key Jewish Studies databases. The Price Library holds a select number of archives and manuscripts which can be discovered through the Libraries’ finding aids.
Other Local Library Resources in Judaica
Some works relating to Jewish studies in Western languages remain in the Libraries’ Humanities and Social Science (“Main”) collection and have never been transferred to to the Price Library. In addition, scattered materials related to Jewish art, music, and Israeli law may be found in the Architecture and Fine Arts (AFA) Library, the Music Library and the Legal Information Center, respectively. Maps of Israel, including a fine antiquarian Holy Land maps collection, can be found in the Map and Imagery Library. The Judaica Library’s rare materials are in the Judaica Suite.

This is the best series that I could share with you. Dungeons and Dragon knowledge. That’d be great. It could be done like American Horror Story, in that every season could be a new campaign. We really need Dragonlance chronicles, plus they could go on so long and make side series and they’d make so much money, please let this happen and do it justice. The original characters never escaped, made their mark on the world.
Dungeons and Dragon knowledge poster
Sigh. Made it to page 5. I got frustrated by load times. Load the article first and the ads last, maybe then I’ll read it all. Not all that impressive a list. Solar gets topped by numerous creatures. Nice surface skims, and the number one has killed by far the most players. This list doesn’t include the Braeden and thus is fundamentally flawed. My buddies and I started playing the last year and I really wanted to jump in on some of the literature. I like the idea of doing like American Horror Story with each season being a different campaign. Maybe do all the great classic modules. Like season 1 could be White Plume Mountain. Season 2 Tomb of Horrors. Season 3 Ravenloft. Season 4 Expedition to the Barrier Peaks. Season 5 The Spider Queen. And so on and so forth. Salvatore’s books are loaded with action so that would make for great television. And they have 20 books of stories to choose from a room. They would have way more action than GOT. Jaraxle, Artemis Entreri, the city of Menzoberrenzen. They have all the characters they need. Drizzt’s thought chapters could easily be narrated too. We have one already called Critical Role. Thursday nights at 10 eastern 7 pacific on Twitch. They are making an animated TV series based on their first campaign. It was the highest-funded film or tv project in Kickstarter history. It will be incredible.
Show me your knowledge
They could even do their own story and say it’s a ‘home-brewed’ campaign. I’d love it if they made a show like this that had its serious moments, but wasn’t afraid to get silly. That’s the whole thing with Dungeons and Dragon knowledge. It’s fun and ridiculous, and sometimes your party does some really dumb crap. But that’s what makes it so great. It smashed the Kickstarter goals, is gonna be excellently animated by Titmouse and has some of the very best mixings of voice-actors and Dungeons and Dragon players possible. Tales from the yawning portal. Changing cast every few episodes. Bit of intrigue in Waterdeep. Loads of opportunities to go further but keep the bar as an anchor. They could make a live-action version of the cartoon, use the Dragon Lance series, or something set in Faerun. The Forgotten Realms is a deep and well-developed world. I would love to see a series based in that world. I would love to see Dragonlance chronicles, but like HBO found out doing full-size dragons costs a fortune. So it would make more sense to do Drizzt, but I would start with streams of silver instead of homeland because Artemis entree is the greatest villain/anti-hero ever made. Do the halfling’s gem storyline and then bring in jarlaxle one of the coolest characters ever created.
Let’s own it for yourself
There are a lot of special offers available for all of you. And this item just released today. Let’s run for it and get yours before the campaign ends. There are a lot of cool colors and sizes for you. We will deliver this special item to you as soon as possible within 3 to 5 business days.


Meta is being called out for its complacency in preventing the spread of misinformation, hate speech an incitement content around the world on Facebook.
The social media giant has been criticized for fueling and amplifying racial, religious and ethnic violence in countries including Bangladesh, Indonesia, South Sudan and Sri Lanka.
Senate Select Committee on Intelligence Chair Mark R. Warner of Virginia sent a letter to Meta CEO Mark Zuckerburg pressing the company on its efforts to combat the spread of misinformation, hate speech and incitement content. According to reports, 84 percent of Facebook’s misinformation budget is allocated for the United States, where only 10 percent of users live.
“In its pursuit of growth and dominance in new markets, I worry that Meta has not adequately invested in the technical, organizational, and human safeguards necessary to ensuring that your platform is not used to incite violence and real-world harm,” Warner, pointing to evidence, acknowledged by Meta, that the platform was used to foment genocide in Myanmar, said. “I am concerned that Meta is not taking seriously the responsibility it has to ensure that Facebook and its other platforms do not inspire similar events in other nations around the world.”
More than 110 languages are supported on Facebook as of October 2021, according to Warner’s letter, and users and advertisers posted in more than 160 languages. Despite these facts, Facebook’s community standards are available in less than half of the languages. Facebook has said artificial intelligence is used by the social media platform to identify hate speech in more than 50 languages and native speakers review content in more than 70 languages.
“Setting aside the efficacy of Facebook’s AI solutions to detect hate speech and violent rhetoric in all of the languages that it offers, the fact that Facebook does not employ native speakers in dozens of languages officially welcomed on its platform is troubling — indicating that Facebook has prioritized growth over the safety of its users and the communities Facebook operates in,” Warner wrote, citing documents provided by Facebook whistleblower Frances Haugen. “Of particular concern is the lack of resources dedicated to what Facebook itself calls ‘at-risk countries’ — nations that are especially vulnerable to misinformation, hate speech, and incitement to violence.”
In Ethiopia, Facebook reportedly did not have systems to flag harmful posts in the country’s two most spoken languages. An internal report from March 2021 documents that armed groups in Ethiopia used Facebook to incite violence against ethnic minorities, recruit and fundraise.
“In the wake of Facebook’s role in the genocide of the Rohingya in Myanmar — where UN investigators explicitly described Facebook as playing a ‘determining role’ in the atrocities — one would imagine more resources would be dedicated to places like Ethiopia. Even in languages where Meta does have experience, the systems in place appear woefully inadequate at preventing violent hate speech from appearing on Facebook,” Warner wrote, citing an investigation conducted by the non-profit Global Witness, which was able to post ads in Swahili and English ahead of the 2022 general elections in Kenya that violated Facebook’s stated Community Standards for hate speech and ethnic-based calls to violence.
Warner wrote that this incident is not isolated, and Facebook has an impact “on fragile societies across the globe” which poses regional and possibly global risks.


BOWDOINHAM – A Brunswick man walked away with only minor injuries from a serious car crash and fire in Bowdoinham on Tuesday afternoon.
Kenneth Johnson, 50, fell asleep while driving in the southbound lanes of Interstate 295, said Maine State Police Trooper Christopher Rogers in a written news release.
The impact of the 2002 Honda hitting the guardrail next to the passing lane peeled back 50 feet of the metal and ignited the car.
Johnson was wearing his seatbelt.
The car fire was put out quickly with fire extinguishers, Rogers said.
Traffic was reduced to one lane on the highway for a time after the crash but later reopened.

EDMONTON, ALTA. – ShearForce Equipment and former employees of TerraFirma Equipment have announced that they will combine their efforts in northern Alberta to provide sales, rentals, parts, and repair and maintenance services for hydraulic excavator attachments.
According to ShearForce, the changes will not only expand regional support capacity across northern Alberta, but also the product lines they can service and repair.
The shift comes following the announcement of the closure of Terrafirma Equipment Sales and Rentals Inc. in Edmonton. The dealer has had more than 50 years serving customers in northern Alberta.
Several key employees of TerraFirma will now join ShearForce’s northern Alberta team.
Dave Rock is continuing his role as operations manager for a brand-new facility just outside of Edmonton and will focus on meeting equipment needs in northern Alberta, northeastern B.C., northern Saskatchewan and elsewhere.
Heavy-duty technician Justin Rasmussen will continue to provide technical support across the northern region and Jessica Hansen will carry on in her role as product support and office coordinator.
ShearForce has secured a new facility in Nisku, Alta. and will offer in-shop services including attachment rebuilds and machine hydraulic setups in the coming weeks. Rock, Rasmussen and Hansen will also be working closely with the team at ShearForce’s Airdrie facility to ensure parts and services are readily available to customers across the province, stated a release from ShearForce.
“For the management team at ShearForce Equipment, timing was essential to making the move into northern Alberta,” said ShearForce president Brad Dewit in a media release. “We were focused on building our presence in central Alberta with the new facility in Airdrie this summer, and when the opportunity arose, we knew we had to jump at the chance to enhance our service offering to the entire province. We feel fortunate to have the opportunity to prove that we are up to the challenge of supporting our collective customers’ needs with our enhanced sales and support capabilities across all the regions we serve.”

I was standing in front of the large conference room. Folding chairs that were once in tidy rows were now out of place, as the occupants shifted around, having fidgeted through a morning of presentations.
And now it was my turn.
I was invited to lead a series of corporate workshops on wellness, and today’s topic was about exercise. It felt ironic that everyone was sitting except me.
Several days earlier, as I prepared the powerpoint slides, I found myself getting philosophical about the subject. It occurred to me that the need to even talk about “exercise” was really relatively new, a byproduct of our increasingly sedentary lives.
With each decade that passes, we spend more and more time sitting – for both our livelihood and our leisure.
Because our daily living no longer requires us to do so, we’re now told to carve out a specific 30 minute block of time, most days of the week to engage in something called “exercise,” simply defined as bodily exertion, especially for the sake of training or improvement of health.
Sure, getting “exercise” is important, but there are caveats to that. Studies have shown that all other things being equal (smoking, eating habits etc.), those who have physically active jobs – e.g. nurses, construction workers etc. and do not engage in specific “exercise” tend to be in better health than those who sit at a desk all day (most of us!) and “workout” 3 times a week.
It’s movement or activity that’s important.
At the risk of sounding boring, I’ll share a few facts:
· Studies show that regular physical activity can reduce the risk for more than 25 chronic health conditions and premature mortality by at least 20-30%.
· According to The World Health Organization (WHO), physical inactivity is the fourth leading risk factor for global mortality (approx. 3.2 million deaths/year)
· Exercise, or more importantly, activity or movement has many benefits, including:
- relieving stress
- reducing depression
- improving cognitive function
- sleeping better
- overall feeling good
So, the key question is, "How do I get more movement or activity into my day?"
Here are just a few tips to get you started:
- Take the stairs whenever possible
- Break away from that computer – stand up and move every hour (do what I do – set a timer)
- Walk for 10 minutes after lunch
- Have walking meetings
- Take a walk around the neighborhood with family members, friends or your dog
- Play with your kids - jumping rope, race or ride bikes
- Check out local Meetup groups for walking, hiking or recreational sports that you enjoy
I welcome your questions and comments. Simply click on Comment and I’d be happy to respond. Know someone who’d like this? Please pass it along.
Wishing you movement,
P.S. Need some help getting movement into your day? That’s why I’m here. I can help you figure out what’s getting in the way between you and better choices. Let’s have a chat about how integrative health coaching works and find out if working together is a good fit.

September has arrived! I’m excited and thrilled to announce that I have been chosen to be the resident poet for Marmalade + Kindness. I received a lovely email in the middle of July from the founder, Adamantia Velonis asking if I would be interested in being interviewed. After a few emails back and forth and a couple of meetings, we felt a mutual kinship and rapport with a passion for mindfulness, food, poetry, the seasons and connecting to nature.
“Mindfulness is simply becoming more aware of your surroundings and your thoughts, letting them come and go. Mindfulness cooking is taking this concept into the kitchen, with saying that it can be applied to every single aspect of everyday moments in life. Mindful cooking takes the daily routine of preparing meals, and uses it as an opportunity to extend the benefits of formal mindfulness (or meditation) to your everyday life. The concept is wholistic in that mindful cooking is not just about mindful eating, but also includes being mindful about the produce you buy, how you are preparing it, sharing it and ultimately the impact on your body and the planet. Mindful cooking takes into account the seasons, how your body feels, who else you are cooking for, their needs, what you already have, and the intention you bring to preparing a meal.” As explained by Ada.
How is haiku connected to mindfulness and mindful cooking? Because haiku is written in the present tense, is based on awareness and the senses, the fact is, that it’s inherently mindful. Mindfulness in the kitchen provides
an opportunity to look at cooking in a new way. Not as a chore, but as an activity of self-care and care for loved ones that is done with intention and creativity. Having an awareness of your thoughts and the ability to be in the present moment without judgment, helps to connect with sensations as they arise. Taste and smell are closely connected giving haiku a sensory experience drawing the reader into the moment as if they can feel the words expressed by the poet. These two senses are separate with their own receptor organs, yet they are intimately entwined. They are combined at the back of the throat, so when you taste something before you smell it, the smell lingers internally up to the nose making you to smell it. How often do you find yourself not hungry until
you smell something delicious? Certain smells have the ability to you back in time with a rush of memories. When freshly-baked cookies can transport you back to Grandma’s house or the faintest hint of tequila can take you
to a time when you may have partied just a little too hard.
When we practice mindfulness, the world gradually begins to look and feel different. It is as if we are being awakened to the reality of the present moment that is constantly unfolding in a new way. Worries about the past and the future begin to fade away as you realize that you are only truly alive in this moment . . . right now. When you engage in your everyday tasks such as cooking and where you buy your food in a mindful way, you are fully present, aware, and awake to your inner psychological experience and your outer material experience. Being attuned to your ongoing thoughts and feelings as well as your external sensory experience will start to naturally happen.
This year, the first day of fall arrives on September 22nd in the Northern Hemisphere. When we shift from summer to fall, it’s the ideal time to reflect on the months of summer and get ready to embrace the autumn by welcoming all the good things that come with it. The autumnal equinox is when we naturally turn more within ourselves, and the plants and trees start to slow down. As the sunlight decreases, we begin to get ready for the colder season ahead. Fall is a short and special season. It’s a time for getting cozy with sweaters, taking in the vibrant colours and savouring the taste of pumpkin and spice. I’ve always found it to be one of the most inspirational seasons for writing haiku with all of the richness and beauty it offers.
Autumn represents the harvest. Since cooking and eating are a multisensory experience, haiku provides unexpected moments that can take you back in time or bring you to the present moment based on the words being expressed. When we stay connected to our natural internal rhythm and the world around us, we are able to flow with ease into the vibrant and stunning season that fall represents.
