This Blog started as my preparation for and ride from Land's End to John O'Groats via the four extremities of the British Mainland. It carries on as a cycling blog in advance of the next challenge (wife permitting - the challenge not the blog)
I have prepared an index to the ride at http://gregcycle.blogspot.com/2010/12/index-to-lejog.html
Also available Greg's Walking Blog at http://gregwalk.blogspot.com/
Last night we stayed in a pub off route. It is the only night on the trip when I can’t ride in and away from the place we were staying, so a late start today.
I had the idea of going to and over the Humber Bridge, but based on the estimate of 115 miles for the day if I did, I decided to use the next highest crossing point available to me at Goole.
Denise went to get fuel for the car and me in the shape of iced buns, and left me going the other way arranging to meet for morning mobile café stop near Clumber Park. It was flat(er), I had a tail wind, Denise went into the delivery entrance of Tesco. I got to the meeting point first and invited her to chase me, and a chase commenced. I got stopped by a level crossing, Denise bound up with lorries on the A1, I road through the road closure having talked to the very nice men who were resurfacing the road, Denise went round. I got to the next meeting point arranged by text and decided that I wanted a bun so sat on a bench waited. She had given up with that meeting point and was looking for the next, and saw me sat waiting. Buns and pleasantries were shared.
As part of this chase I had crossed the A1. Normally no bother on bridge, but this time I was with them on a roundabout. I’m glad I had some acceleration, and was bright orange, though when I got to the other side of this 6 legged circle I found the cycle route that went the other side to me. It is all very well having this cycling route, but there is nothing like signposting it is there?
After the A1 the landscape changed, still the same arable, the world is brown and at times dusty as the combines work away, but now flat. I rode up the side of the river Trent. I think it was tidal, judging by the levees on its bank. I couldn’t see it. I did go onto the highest bridging point and was surprised to see proper ocean going boats. The roads became quiter, good surface, nice strong cross tail wind, until I turned 90 to the west into a cross head. Not normally an issue as you can get in close to a hedge to break the wind. There are no hedges here.
My Humber Bridge
Upriver on the Humber
Goole docks were a surprise mix of small ships and run down docks. Odd to actually see ships in there such was the state of the place, but the town seemed busy. Onward and over the bridge, picking up a services of B roads towards York, back with the cross tail, I started to re enter an almost trance like state, look at the road 15 feet ahead, turn the pedals, the rhythm just seems to take over, the road was straight and lightly trafficked.
York was another matter. Cycle paths yes, but it would be there and gone, did it go behind that bush, up that side street, which side of the road is it on? I crossed though a gate in the city wall and soon found myself dodging shoppers, suits and office workers on their way home. I trundled, they parted in front of me. All was well.
Found the B road to leave, got in behind a bus who went through two red lights, as did a couple of cars. None of the cyclists I saw did.
The B road was straight, fast and heavily trafficked in the rush hour for about 4 miles. Then there was a cross roads and they seemed to melt away, leaving me and the B road to ourselves to the hotel and a sit down on something I don’t have to pedal

Providing Home Care Services in Garden Oaks TX
By Dr. Rose Windale, www.selfgrowth.com
As home care certainly offers more advantages than extended hospitalization, the number of households opting to hire home care services is steadily increasing. Most households consider home care services to be as efficient as hospital care, and in fact, home care can even provide more comfort and convenience not only to the patient but to the family as well.
Whether the patient is an elderly, infirm or a convalescing family member, home health care services provide valuable assistance to the client in the familiarity of their own home. As the home basically offers more warmth and security, there is no arguing that it is a conducive environment to nurture one’s health.
Home care services are of tremendous help in attending to the needs of an ailing family member, but equally important is the fitting choice for a home care provider, one that would be suitable to cater to the necessities of the patient. The choice for a fitting home care practitioner to provide efficient home care services for the aging and the ailing can be a crucial one. Home health care services vary according to the necessities of the patient. Home care practitioners may provide skilled care in accordance with the doctor’s recommendations. There may be instances when the home care services entail measures such as occupational and physical therapy as well as dialysis.
When skilled home care services are necessary, it may be essential to deploy certified health professionals such as therapists and nurses. When hiring a home practitioner, tasks such as housekeeping, meal preparations and running errands may be an inclusion to the home health care services provided. Through home care, a patient is allowed to live independently with the health professional serving only to offer monitoring, help and support. As the patient can be frail and the family members preoccupied, home health care services may also require aid in the maintenance and upkeep of the home. In some cases, home care services can be c ustomized to suitably cater to the client’s needs.

Resale is booming and Rebag is capitalizing on it.
The digitally-native designer handbag reseller opened its eighth brick-and-mortar location, at Roosevelt Field mall, Garden City, New York. It is Rebag’s fourth retail location in the New York metro area and follows the company’s recent announcement of securing $25 million in Series C funding.
The new store features such signature Rebag elements as a wall devoted to Hermes and Birken bags and the “Rebag bar,” where customers can sell a bag or exchange a previous purchase for at least 70% of the original price. Customers can also shop the entire online and in-store assortment, which includes hundreds of designer bags.
Similar to Rebag’s other physical stores, the new location features pastel yellow hues, with an illuminated Rebag emblem welcoming shoppers. The space was designed by Red Antler and Small Office.
Rebag said its data-driven strategy has led it to open stores in areas of high online adoption, with plans to increase that portfolio to 30 locations in the medium term,
“We always consider our customers when we plan our retail expansions, and are looking forward to making Rebag accessible to the Long Island community,” says Charles Gorra, CEO and Founder of Rebag. “We’re especially thrilled to be part of the largest and most esteemed mall in New York.”

living trust investment & finance definition
revocable trust whose terms become effective while the donor is still alive.
Although the trust is the legal owner of property, investments, or assets in
the trust, the creator of the trust (called a grantor) does not give up any control over the
assets and can still buy or sell them. Those assets are used for the benefit of
another person, called a beneficiary. A
trustee and a successor trustee manage the trust. A living trust in many ways
resembles a will. It includes instructions and details for handling the
writer’s estate at death. However, unlike a will, it does not go through
probate and prevents the court from
controlling the deceased person’s assets. Also called inter vivos trust.
See living trust in Wall Street Words
A trust created for the trustor and administered by another party during the trustor's lifetime. The living trust may be formed because the trustor is either incapable of managing or unwilling to manage his or her assets. The trust can be revocable or irrevocable, depending upon the trustor's wishes. Also called inter vivos trust.

Boutique-sized retailers face a host of challenges when they open their stores, from devising budgets to getting the word out. But Linda Scharlin and her business partner and longtime friend, Sylvia Yellin, took on additional emotional challenges when they opened Eve’s Place in North Hollywood’s Valley Village neighborhood. Scharlin describes her store as a “post-surgical boutique” for women who have undergone treatment for breast cancer; it offers prosthetics, surgical and non-surgical brassieres, wigs and headgear for chemotherapy patients as well as resources for women battling breast cancer. She was interviewed by Joyzelle Davis.
Opening a business ends up costing twice as much as you budgeted that was probably our biggest challenge. You think that you’ve accounted for everything with your budget, but it ends up being much more than you planned once you’ve dealt with renovating the property.
Secondly, it’s a challenge to let people know you’re here without breaking yourself with an astronomical advertising budget. Advertising is expensive, but it’s important and we’ve made it a priority. We’re doing without cabinets and molding right now so that we can afford it.
So much of our business depends on word of mouth. I try to get out once a week to visit the clinics, oncologists and women’s support groups to tell them about us.
Many of the surgeons don’t think about what happens to a woman after her mastectomy. These women are lost unless they get hooked up with a good support group.
We consider our store to be a community service as well as a business. You can go to an orthopedics-prosthetics shop or a pharmacy, but a lot of those places are run by men and few are certified fitters. Many of these women are vulnerable and depressed when they come out of surgery. (Buying a prosthetic breast) is like buying a shoe for the first time. You don’t know what’s supposed to fit and what’s a good style for you. It’s not something you can buy out of a catalogue and expect to work for you.
It sometimes can take two hours to do a fitting; some of our customers sit in the dressing room and cry for an hour.
Some of these women give us hissy fits: this lace is too scratchy, this is too perky … But when it really comes down to it, these women are not happy with their situation and it’s being hidden by other complaints. No one wants to stamp their feet and demand, “I want my breasts back,” but that’s really want they want. And we can’t give them that.
Sylvia and I have been close friends for seven years, but working with someone who is such a good friend also presents a challenge. It’s like a marriage. You think you can change someone, but you can’t. So you’ve got to compartmentalize each others’ strengths and areas of expertise and you’ve got to learn to compromise.

24 Jul Afzelia africana
Scientific name: Afzelia africana Pers.
Distribution/conservation status: widely distributed in the transition zone (semi-dry forest). Vulnerable (VU) declining due to over-exploitation for timber, fodder, and other uses.
Common names: African mahogany (English), Aparata (Igbo), Apa (Yoruba), Akpari, Akpasi (Edo).
Fruits/seeds: dark brown, oblong, flattened pod with two hard woody valves containing approx. 8 black ellipsoid seeds with an orange aril.
Fruiting time: April – July, December – January.
Seed collection: pod opens explosively when ripe to expose seeds which remain attached and dangle to attract birds. After a time the pods fall, often with a few seeds still attached. For optimum seed collection, harvest pods when they change colour from green to brown, keep dry and collect seeds as the pods open. Do not remove arils as seeds with arils have a higher germination rate.
Type of seed: orthodox.
Sowing method: large seeds (> 2 g) produce more vigorous seedlings. Select large seeds and sow on end (hilum facing downwards) 2 cm deep. Stored seeds must be soaked in water 1-2 days. Sow in pots, not trays, as germinated seed rapidly develops tap root which is sensitive to disturbance.
Sowing medium: forest soil.
Germination period: 7 days.
Germination percentage: 90 – 95%.
Growth/development: transplant within 1-2 months to minimise damage to tap root. Young trees grow quickly and may be fertile when 3 to 4 years old.
Notes: seedlings are often found under parent trees but long-term regeneration is poor due to browsing, susceptibility to fire, drought, and grasshoppers.

Littermate Syndrome: Why You Should Never Get Two Puppies
Getting a puppy is always an exciting time! Meeting a group of roly poly little furballs can be intoxicating and trying to pick just one, almost impossible. But when you’re selecting your new family member, avoid the temptation to bring home two sibling puppies from the same litter, at the same time. Many people who do this mistakenly think their new pups will have a built-in best friend. Sometimes that’s the case. However, in our experience as dog trainers, we often see problems cropping up between six and nine months of age. The most common issue is called “Littermate Syndrome.”
If you welcomed two puppies from the same litter into your home and notice any of the traits below, early correction is the best solution. Our Puppy Head Start training program will give the newest members of your family the skills they need to grow into the perfect companions.
Common Traits of Littermate Syndrome
- OVER ATTACHMENT TO ONE ANOTHER – This involves the two puppies bonding so closely, that they develop an unhealthy co-dependence on each other. Life events occur that require the dogs to do things separately, including vet visits, surgery, going to the groomer, etc. Many times, a lack of normal independence brings major stress and anxiety when you separate the pups.
- FAILING TO BOND TO THE FAMILY – Because of their deep attachment to one another, the puppies often fail to bond to any person in the family. Littermate Syndrome This can lead to lack of interest in playing with and interacting with the family, ignoring commands, running off together.
- ANTI-SOCIAL BEHAVIOR – Because of their reliance on each other, the puppies fail to explore the world. They won’t seek out interactions with other puppies, socialize, or develop normal social skills with other dogs. This can lead to fear of dogs outside their inner circle, leash reactivity and sometimes aggression.
- AGGRESSION TOWARDS EACH OTHER – Pups are genetically designed to go out on their own as they reach adulthood. Because of this, some theorize that they are more likely than unrelated dogs to develop aggression towards each other. We see this less commonly than extreme separation anxiety, but it does occur
Avoiding Littermate Syndrome
Because of these issues, many shelters, rescues, and responsible breeders will not adopt out two littermates to the same home.
We also strongly discourage getting littermates, but if you do, please follow these guidelines:
- INDEPENDENT ACTIVITIES
- START TRAINING EARLY
- STRUCTURE & LEADERSHIP
- Independent Activities – Be sure to do things independently with each pup. Separate walks, separate training classes, separate socialization, individual play sessions, separate outings in the car, separate crates, etc. They need time each day away from each other.
- Start Training Early – Two puppies are three times the work. You will have to take extra effort and time with each pup to avoid littermate syndrome from developing.
- Structure & Leadership – Make sure you provide your pups adequate guidance and direction. If you leave a leadership void, it will be filled by the higher-ranking puppy and you will become less relevant to them both.

The 40-Year-Old Quarterback Club
Brady Makes 40 Look Good
What Tom Brady is doing isn’t unusual in NFL circles. When he takes his first snap of the 2017 season, the New England Patriots quarterback will be the 20th QB in league history to play into his 40s. But he will be just the second to do so while spending his entire career with one team, yet another notch in his spectacular list of career achievements. The New England legend is also Bovada’s second favorite, at +550, to pass for the most yards this season.
A look at some of the NFL’s other 40-something QBs, and how they fared:
The oldest player in NFL history, Blanda was 48 when he played his farewell season for the Oakland Raiders in 1975. But he was reduced to a role as the team’s kicker by then. Blanda made just three pass attempts in 1975, and was 41 when he made his final NFL start at QB in 1968.
The epitome of a journeyman, DeBerg took snaps for six teams during his career and actually started one game for the Atlanta Falcons in 1998 at the age of 44. Still, DeBerg was long before reduced to a role as a back-up, seeing his last duty as a No. 1 QB at the age of 37 with the Kansas City Chiefs in 1991.
Hall of Famer Moon didn’t make it to the NFL until the age of 28, joining the Houston Oilers after a successful stint with the CFL’s Edmonton Eskimos. He was still going strong well into his 40s, serving as starting QB for the Seattle Seahawks in 1998 at the age of 42. Moon led the NFL in passing yardage per game (245.7) the season prior, and made his final NFL start for the Chiefs at age 44 in 2000.
Flutie started five games for the San Diego Chargers in 2003 when he was 41 and started one more the following season. The last QB to lead the Buffalo Bills to the playoffs, Flutie was 43 when he finished his career as Brady’s backup with the 2005 Patriots.
Morrall was 41 when he started his last NFL game for the 1975 Miami Dolphins, but he’s best remembered in Miami for replacing the injured Bob Griese in 1972 and going 9-0 at the helm during the Dolphins’ perfect 17-0 Super Bowl season. Morrall also won a Super Bowl with the Baltimore Colts and was named NFL MVP in 1968.
Favre went 12-4 while starting all 16 games for the 2009 Minnesota Vikings at the age of 40, and he was at the helm for 13 of 16 games the following season. He retired as the NFL’s all-time leader in passing yardage and touchdowns, marks since surpassed by Peyton Manning.
The first one-team 40-something quarterback in NFL history, Conerly led the New York Giants to the 1956 NFL title and started four games in 1961 at the age of 40. He started games in every season of his NFL career. Conerly held virtually all of the Giants’ passing records until his marks were shattered by Phil Simms. He not only played into his 40s, Conerly also wore No. 42 on his jersey, a rarity for a QB. After football, he gained further fame in ads as the Marlboro Man.
Hall of Famer Dawson started five games for the Chiefs in 1975 at the age of 40 and led the NFL in completion percentage (66.4) for the eighth time in his career. Dawson quarterbacked the Chiefs in Super Bowl I and led the team to its only Super Bowl win in Super Bowl IV.
Reduced to a second-string role by the age of the 37, Jurgensen nonetheless started four games for the Washington Redskins after his 40th birthday in 1974 and threw for 11 touchdowns. He led the league in passing yardage five times and the Hall of Famer’s 82.2 career passer rating is the best of any NFL QB who played prior to 1978.
Traded to the San Diego Chargers after 17 seasons at the helm of the Baltimore Colts, Unitas, 40, started five games for the Chargers in 1973. He led the Colts to Super Bowl V in 1970 and to the AFC Championship Game the following season. The Hall of Famer topped the NFL in TD passes and passing yardage four times apiece.

After World War II, American servicemen came back with a taste for English and European bikes. The idea of a nimbler bike with a foot shift and hand clutch was appealing. Indian had already been pursuing this market with its parallel twins and singles. Harley-Davidson only had a small 125 for that niche. In 1952, Harley-Davidson launched the K series, a 45 CI V twin with a side-valve engine. It was also replacing the WR on the tracks as a KR. The K shifted on the right. It had telescopic forks and was intended to go after the sport niche, though unfortunately, the performance was dismal. Mid-year, Harley-Davidson launched a hotter version known as the KK, which utilized a roller-type crank much akin to the KR. It later increased the stroke to kick it up to 55 CI, the birth of the KH. The KHK was the heated-up version of it. Even Elvis Presley had one of these for a brief period. Still, Harley-Davidson decided the bikes needed more horsepower. In 1957, the company introduced the XL, a 55 CI overhead-valve engine. The K series presented an excellent platform. Minor tweaking was necessary due to some engine differences, as the XL was a bit taller. The brakes were “sufficient,” and the fenders and seat were all able to be carried forward with this new model. Harley-Davidson was even able to market these to the military. These were known as the XLA. They were fitted with a different valanced fender in the front, and many were sent over to Europe for use by military police. The unit offered here appears highly original. The speedometer and dual-key setup are all carried forward from the K years. The tool box with its butterfly fittings and oil tank are all from the K series as well. This is a rare opportunity to acquire an early Harley-Davidson Sportster.

Emmanuel Anyiam-Osigwe is chairman of the British Urban Film Festival (BUFF), which he founded in 2005. He reveals who inspires his viewing choices, following the talent he first noticed at the festival and why it is a great time to be a Black creative.
My editorial nose comes from Menelik Shabazz, who was one of the first prominent Black British filmmakers. I worked for him at the [now-online] Black Filmmaker Magazine (BFM), which he started in the late 1990s. I’m guided by my wife [writer/director Clare Anyiam-Osigwe], who has a lot more time than I do!
I’m guided by talent who have featured as part of the British Urban Film Festival and go on to appear in higher profile projects. The most recent example is actress Ruby Barker who features in Bridgerton but first came to my attention in How To Stop A Recurring Dream — a UK feature I watched as a festival submission last summer. Other talent who have secured bigger gigs include writer and actress Isis Davis [who appeared in Heyday Films’ The Secret Garden] and writer Stephen S Thompson [who made the TV movie Sitting In Limbo about the Windrush generation for the BBC and Left Bank Pictures].
I keep track of how Black films and TV programmes are doing at the box office and in viewing figures. There’s an age-old misconception that not many Black people are making or watching things that are commercially viable; I try to find a way to disprove that factually. I’ve put out lots of [social media] posts detailing viewing figures. The reaction from both strangers and people I know is a little satisfaction — it’s clearly something that matters to people both inside and outside the industry.
I follow Ashley Clark [curatorial director at Criterion Collection] on social media. He is primarily in the US but does a lot of work with the BFI. Nels Abbey, who wrote a book called Think Like A White Man: A Satirical Guide To Conquering The World… While Black, talks about these issues on radio and TV. Marcus Ryder, who has released a book [Access All Areas: The Diversity Manifesto For TV And Beyond] with Lenny Henry. Charles Thompson is one of the reasons I’m in the industry — he was at BFM and went on to found the Screen Nation Film & TV Awards. Simone Pennant does a lot of work getting people into the industry through The TV Collective, which supports diverse talent working in film, TV and digital.
It’s very important that we all have something of value to bring to the discussion. Especially after what happened last year with Black Lives Matter, a lot of the people I’ve talked about have come to the fore. It’s a great time to be a Black creative right now — we’ve just got to keep up that energy, keep up our beliefs in how we feel we should be represented.

Teaching to Change Lives: Seven Proven Ways to Make Your Teaching Come Alive by Howard Hendricks, Colorado Springs, CO, Multnomah January 1, 2003. 152 pages. Reviewed by Thomas C. Wilcox.
An Excellent Resource for Truly Effective Teaching!
Teaching to Change Lives, by Howard Hendricks, opens the door for truly effective teaching to take place, not just in the classroom, but in any teaching setting! He does this by taking his experience of over 30 years of teaching in a seminary and across various church settings and sharing with us the ways God has shown him how to reach our students.
Hendricks did a fantastic job at giving us practical insights into how we can make a lasting impact in our student's lives by doing things such as investing in their lives and getting to know them on a personal level so that we can minister to them and teach them in a way that gets at their heart.
One of the things I liked about this book is that the chapters were so clear. I felt confident that I understood what he was saying and was even able to implement some of his advice right away!
If you want to learn how to take your head knowledge and turn it into a lasting life change for your students, I cannot recommend this book enough!

A record shows the foundation of each and every digital money that you have. It likewise shows more subtleties of who possessed the digital money coins already before you.The best digital forms of money have an extremely compelling blockchain innovation.
All the product’s that you see on the web are made from a code. This is a similar case with digital money. Luckily, a larger part of the digital currency is made utilizing a similar code. Principally, digital forms of money are made utilizing the C++ code. You can reevaluate every one of the codes you want from GitHub and use them to make your digital money. Be that as it may, the code will fluctuate from your points of interest. If your blockchain is longer and quicker you should add programs for that. For the most part, projects can shift from multi week to a while making a blockchain.
To make the best digital money, one requirements to guarantee he has put the best degree of safety to be noticed. There are programmers all over the place and it is consistently your job to estrange the programmers.

The Prisons That Hold Us Back
I've been in prison and I don’t mind talking about it. Of course I was wrongly accused, but that didn't lesson my sentence. It was a dark lonely place, and no. . . I’m not actually talking about jail. Instead I’m talking about a season of feeling stuck, held back, and overlooked. No doors were opening, no opportunities were surfacing, and there didn't seem to be a way out.
Perhaps I've exaggerated a little. But who doesn't know what it feels like to be passed up for a promotion, overlooked in a relationship, forgotten, or just plain stuck? Sometimes, no matter how hard we try to move on we can’t.
Joseph knew what it felt like to be stuck, only his prison was a literal one. He found himself sentenced for a crime he didn't commit and stuck behind bars that held him back from the dreams God gave him.
However, in the midst of his misery came a glimmer of hope when two unlikely cell mates showed up with dreams of their own. After correctly interpreting their dreams, Joseph asked that he would be remembered. Eventually, after two long years, Joseph was remembered and the kindness he had shown his former cell mate led to not only his release—but also to the fulfillment of his dream (Genesis 39-41).
Joseph’s prison story gives us some great examples of how to handle ourselves in the prisons that hold us back from our dreams. Below are three attributes Joseph exhibited while stuck in prison:
1) Do your best where you are. Scripture tells us Joseph found favor with the prison warden and was put in charge of all the prisoners and everything that went on there. When his release finally came he walked away with both leadership skills and a good referral if he ever needed it.
2) Think of others’ needs. Joseph immediately noticed the anguish of the cup bearer and the baker. He took initiative to share his gift of dream interpretation. In the end, his unsolicited kindness paid off.
3) Give God credit. Joseph didn't take credit for interpreting the dreams, instead he gave all the credit to God. Self-promoters rely on their own abilities. God-promoters have the pleasure of watching God do miraculous things in their lives.
If you are stuck in a “prison” with seemingly no way out, I encourage you to follow Joseph’s example. God can do great things with person who is willing to make the most of the harshest situation. I know because He has done it in my life over and over again.
Don’t let your prison experience keep you bound in discouragement. Choose today to trust God’s timing.

Afterward, the Dragonborn is attacked by three ghosts: one using Flames, one using Frostbite, and one using Sparks.Through the use of healing spells and wards, the Dragonborn must survive the attacks.Eventually, the Augur intervenes and the quest is complete.
Afterward, the other Master Restoration spell, Guardian Circle, will be available as a Spell Tome for purchase from Colette Marence.
I've asked Colette about additional training in Restoration.
She suggested there are spells I don't yet know, but that the Augur down in the Midden is the keeper of that knowledge and I'd have to gain his approval before I can learn them.
Turanga Leela (born July 29, 2975) one of the main characters in Futurama.
She is the tomboyishly beautiful and very sexy captain of the Planet Express ship.
With a "no rain or sleet" attitude and a "kick-your-arse" grace, this delivery captain is a refreshing source of professionalism to counterpoint the rest of the crew.
For better or worse, the ship runs on her high octane passions, be it because of her longing for family, her love of violence, her commitment to a job well done, or her affection for animals.
Speak with Colette Marence in the College of Winterhold with a Restoration skill of 90+ and the quest "Good Intentions" completed to begin the quest.
Colette can usually be found in The Arcanaeum or the Hall of Countenance.
She tells the Dragonborn to go to The Midden and talk to the Augur of Dunlain.
After speaking with the Augur, the Dragonborn is stripped of all weapons, armor, and potions except quest items, leaving behind only the ability to use spells, powers, and dragon shouts.

Positive attitude towards ageing leads to better health, says study
A recent study has found new evidence to support the idea that ageing can be just a state of mind, finding that those who have a positive attitude towards growing older also enjoy better health as they advance in age.
The Irish Longitudinal Study on Ageing (Tilda), at Trinity College Dublin, provided the research team access to the attitudes of 4,135 seniors who were taking part in the study.
As well as measuring participants’ attitudes on ageing using a questionnaire, the study also collected data on the participants’ cognitive health and levels of frailty.
The team’s key findings showed that two years into the study, older adults with a negative attitude towards growing old showed a slower walking speed and a decrease in cognitive ability than those who had a more positive outlook on ageing.
These findings remained true even after the researchers had taken into account other factors such as medication, mood, and any life circumstances and health changes that had occurred during the two-year period.
And although frail older adults are also at risk of other health problems, including a decrease in cognitive abilities, in the study the researchers found that a positive attitude seemed to protect frail seniors somewhat in this area.
Participants who held negative attitudes towards ageing showed worse cognition compared to participants who were not frail, but frail participants with positive attitudes towards ageing showing the same level of cognitive ability as those who weren’t frail.
Lead researcher Dr Deirdre Robertson said, “The way we think about, talk about and write about ageing may have direct effects on health.
“Everyone will grow older, and if negative attitudes towards ageing are carried throughout life they can have a detrimental, measurable effect on mental, physical and cognitive health.”
The findings were published in the journal Personality and Individual Differences.
A previous study 2014 out of University College London found similar results, with seniors who had a more positive outlook on ageing and felt more satisfied with their life also enjoying a more independent and healthier life.
The researchers found that participants who reported higher levels of life satisfaction were able to remain more independent for longer than their more negative counterparts, and showed a slower decline in performing daily tasks such as getting out of bed, getting dressed, bathing and showering.
Participants who reported a lower level of life satisfaction however were three times more likely to develop problems in carrying out these daily activities.

By Andy Krutsinger, Mt. Pleasant News
The Mt. Pleasant baseball team had all kinds of trouble against Brady Kauzlarich and the Centerville Big Reds on Monday night. The ninth-ranked team in Class 2A held the Panthers to just one hit as MPCHS suffered an 11-1 loss in six innings.
Mt. Pleasant had a decent start to the game. Starting pitcher Jordan Magnani kept the Big Red offense at bay in the top of the first inning and the Panthers scored one run in the bottom of the first.
Rylan Seberg scored the lone run for the Panthers. He got on with a one-out walk, and Cooper Huckabone blasted a double to centerfield, bringing Seberg around to score.
Centerville began to score in the second inning and never let up. The Big Reds scored two in the second, one in the third and four in the fourth, which gave them a 7-1 lead midway through the game.
The Panthers had two on and two out in the fifth inning after Bryce Anderson drew a walk and Zach Beason got on via an error, but Mt. Pleasant couldn?t push a run across.
Centerville added four runs in the top of the sixth inning to take a 10-run lead. The Panthers went one-two-three in the sixth, which meant the game had to end in six innings via the 10-run mercy rule.
Mt. Pleasant had just one hit on the day over the six innings, and drew no walks. Eight Panthers struck out. Kauzlarich threw all six innings for Centerville.
?Tonight, I just thought we didn?t handle the velocity very well,? Mt. Pleasant coach Brent Broeker said after the game. ?He was blowing it by us, and we were waiting on swings. We just struck out too many times.?
Huckabone was 1-3 with a double and an RBI to lead the team at the plate. Seberg was 0-2 with a run scored.
Jordan Magnani was tagged with the loss on the mound, giving up seven runs (six earned) on eight hits and one walk, while striking out five batters over four innings of work.
Colby Potts threw two innings in relief and gave up four earned runs on six hits and one walk.
The Panthers will be back in action on Wednesday night at Davis County. That game is scheduled to begin at 7:30 p.m.

U.S. SEC Eyes ICO Rules Laid Out in ‘Plain English’Nov 09, 2018 at 0:52
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) plans to release a “plain English instrument” that will aid business players in identifying whether their digital currency products constitute as securities.
William Hinman, chief of the SEC’s Division of Corporation Finance, said the provisions will take cues from an earlier speech in which he crossed out Ethereum offers and sales as securities transactions.
The rules aim to serve as a ultimate how-to guide for entrepreneurs when registering their initial coin offerings as securities offerings. It will also map out qualifications that would allow an ICO exemption from registration rules.
“Do I think I have a security offering?” Hinman was quoted by a Bloomberg Law report as saying at a Nov. 5 fintech conference in Washington.
“Look at that new guidance, and I think you should be able to sort this out. If it’s not clear after going through that guidance, there’s going to be a very easy way to reach us and get more guidance directly from us,” the official added.
Hinman was said to have later revealed to reporters that the guide will be released either before the year ends or in the early part of 2019.
Last month, the SEC intensified its crackdown on ICOs of startups who have yet to ensure their tokens are sold to accredited investors.
In June last year, SEC chairman Jay Clayton branded all ICOs as securities. This means any company selling tokens is required to register first with the SEC, or qualify for an exemption, if needed.

In this case, turning to dermatological procedures will work as the fastest way to get rid of hyperpigmentation. Chemical peels, laser therapy, microdermabrasion, or dermabrasion are all options that work similarly to rid skin of hyperpigmentation.
Once what's causing the dark spots or patches is found and stopped, fading can take time. A spot that is a few shades darker than your natural skin color will usually fade within 6 to 12 months. If the color lies deep in your skin, however, fading can take years.
Discolored skin patches may also commonly develop on certain body parts due to a difference in melanin levels. Melanin is the substance that provides color to the skin and protects it from the sun. When there's an overproduction of melanin, it can cause differences in skin tone.
Applying yogurt or milk directly to the pigmented area or soaking a cotton ball in milk and applying it to the area may both be helpful home remedies. People should let the yogurt or milk sit for a few minutes, and then rinse the area thoroughly and apply moisturizer.
Skin lightening, or skin bleaching, is a cosmetic procedure that aims to lighten dark areas of skin or achieve a generally paler skin tone. It's usually used to improve the appearance of blemishes such as birthmarks and dark patches (melasma).
A favorite of dermatologists for its ability to brighten skin, buff away hyperpigmentation and slow signs of aging like fine lines and wrinkles, vitamin C is a skin care powerhouse — and often an affordable one at that.
Retinol is one of the best ingredients to treat hyperpigmentation due to its ability to speed up cell turnover. Azelaic acid is another ingredient that brightens the skin, but is gentler, making it great for those with sensitive skin.
Citrus fruits such as oranges, grapefruit and lemon are all packed with Vitamin C and Vitamin A which helps destroy free radicals in your body, assist with melanin production and can help to fight discolouration in your skin.
Baking Soda And Apple Cider Vinegar:
Apply the paste on the dark spots and leave it for 15 minutes. Allow it to dry and then wash off with cold water.
Apple Cider Vinegar
It contains acetic acid, which is a natural bleaching agent. That is why many people consider it's the fastest-acting natural remedy for hyperpigmentation. Because of its acidic property, apple cider vinegar can remove marks and spots from your face and within just a few weeks.
You can use hydrogen peroxide to lighten acne scars, age spots, and other skin discolorations. Use a cotton pad to apply a thin layer of peroxide to the affected area. Let it sit for 10 minutes, then rinse with water. Over time this treatment will lighten those spots and make them much less noticeable.
Discolored skin patches are noticeable because they differ from a person's normal skin tone. They can be lighter, darker, or a different color, such as red, gray, or blue. People with this symptom need to understand the cause of their discolored skin patches in case treatment is necessary.
If you have had a skin infection, blisters, burns, or other trauma to your skin, you may have a decrease or increase of pigmentation in the affected area. This type of alteration is usually not permanent, but may take up to several months to fade or get better. Cosmetics can be used to cover the area.
Also known as Indian gooseberry, it is a rich source of vitamin C and aids collagen production, thus preventing signs of ageing and clearing the skin. It also evens out the skin by keeping the pimples and pigmentation away.
A lightening agent (for dark spots) like hydroquinone, mulberry, licorice, or kojic acid can begin to work in days, but it usually takes weeks to see an appreciable reduction in pigment. If you see no difference in three or four weeks, it's probably not going to work.
There is no safe or reliable way to lighten someone's skin tone. Products or DIY recipes that claim to do so carry numerous risks. Even legal and over-the-counter options, such as hydroquinone creams, can sometimes lead to permanent discoloration.

Progress made on trucking insurance, forced arbitration and medical malpractice award limits
AAJ’s advocacy on behalf of trial lawyers and their clients supports our members’ practice areas. We are on the front line of issues that affect your practice such as Medicare Secondary Payer and access to electronic medical records. We’re working to stop laws that would preempt your state law remedies, to introduce proactive legislation to protect and restore rights, and to encourage pro-consumer regulations to keep people safe.
We also have joined with many of our allies in advocating for demographically and professionally diverse federal judges. As of June 15, President Biden and the U.S. Senate have confirmed 134 district and appellate judges. Of those confirmed, roughly 53% are professionally diverse, 66% are people of color, and 64% are women. This group of 134 includes 23 trial lawyers and 13 other pro-civil justice judges.
Trucking insurance minimums, safety, and ending forced arbitration
AAJ has advocated for increased trucking insurance minimums to increase safety on the roads, and earlier in June, Frontline ran an in-depth report on truck underride crashes which featured two AAJ members.
Our fight to end forced arbitration in all contexts continues with support for a newly introduced bipartisan bill to protect older Americans from age discrimination. This proactive bill joins two others that AAJ supports – the FAIR Act, to end all forced arbitration, and the Ending Forced Arbitration in Race Discrimination Act.
Amicus curiae and favorable decisions
Our advocacy extends to the courts with an indispensable method for protecting and developing good law nationwide – our amicus curiae program.
AAJ’s “friend of the court” briefs are often filed in collaboration with state trial lawyer associations. These briefs help ensure that access to justice, the right to trial by jury, and public policy arguments are rigorously supported in federal and state courts.
Last year, AAJ filed 30 briefs nationwide, including in the U.S. Supreme Court. In 2023, AAJ has continued to track court opinions in those cases and file new briefs on issues affecting plaintiffs’ rights.
AAJ filed briefs in three recent favorable decisions for the plaintiff trial bar:
Health and Hosp. Corp. of Marion County, et al. v. Talevski, No. 21-806 (June 8, 2023) (filed with Pennsylvania Association for Justice) in which SCOTUS upheld a private right of action for FNHRA violations;
In re: Aearo Techs. LLC, 2023 WL 393846 (Bankr. S.D. Ind. June 9, 2023), in which a bankruptcy court rejects 3M subsidiary’s Texas Two-Step maneuver in Combat Earplug MDL; and
Doucet v. FCA US, LLC, No. SJC-13354 (Mass. June 8, 2023) (filed with Massachusetts Academy of Trial Attorneys), which resulted in a victory in a personal jurisdiction product liability case.
AAJ amicus curiae briefs are available online at www.justice.org/amicusbriefs.
Progress in medical malpractice award limits
In recent years, we’ve seen a trend of state legislatures realizing that arbitrary, artificially low caps on noneconomic damages in medical malpractice cases cause harm to injured patients while doing nothing to improve access to quality care or to lower physicians’ liability insurance premiums. Recently, several states have raised their caps, including some of the oldest caps on the books.
In 2021, the New Mexico Trial Lawyers Association (NMTLA) was able to raise caps on noneconomic damages that had been in place since 1976. This year, the health care industry asked the legislature to roll back the changes. NMTLA was able to usher through a compromise, which was signed into law and will likely avoid a protracted fight, while also allowing for injured patients to exercise their rights.
The Consumer Attorneys of California (CAOC) worked for decades to restore the rights of patients injured by medical malpractice. In 2022, CAOC was able to raise caps on noneconomic damages, which had been set at $250,000 since 1975. MICRA was the first medical malpractice-specific cap enacted in the country and this acknowledgement that such low limits are patently unfair is a huge step in making injured patients whole and preventing future instances of malpractice.
The Nevada Justice Association (NJA) built on this trend in 2023 when they launched a successful legislative campaign to raise the state’s cap on noneconomic damages in medical malpractice cases from $350,000 to $750,000. Like other states that have recently raised their caps, NJA was also able to ensure that the cap will regularly be adjusted for inflation.
The New Hampshire Association for Justice (NHAJ) also achieved a huge victory for victims of medical malpractice in 2023 when the governor signed a law repealing screening panels in these cases. The state senate originally issued a proposal to study the effects of screening panels. Due to the hard work of NHAJ, that proposal was amended to a full repeal.
The only way we can effectively fight back is through close collaboration between AAJ and TLA partners, and that’s exactly what we’re doing.

UPDATE 5/6/14: Organizers have opened up 70 additional “Adventure Class” seats for the June Rails and Ales mountaintop brew and music festival. The $39 ticket represents revelers’ least expensive option.
Billed as Colorado’s most unique beer festival, the Rails & Ales experience begins around 10 a.m. in Alamosa with a 2.5 hour brew-fueled (not really) train trip to an isolated alpine meadow high in the Sangre de Cristo mountains.
There, revelers are greeted by an oasis of suds; two dozen breweries, including Odd 13, Great Divide and Oskar Blues, have already signed on to pour at the June 21 fest and organizers expect that number will grow.
A number that won’t grow: tickets. This year, they were limited to 1,000 and as of this writing only 50 remained, according to marketing manager Ryan Weeks.
Prices range from $59 to $169 and – until they sell out – can be purchased at www.coloradotrain.com.
The festival, sponsored by the San Luis Valley Brewing Co. and the Rio Grande Scenic Railroad, is the highlight of the second weekend of the Mountain Rails Live summer concert series, now in its sixth year. Click on the link for more about that series and to purchase tickets.
Former Gazette beer columnist Scott Rappold wrote about the festival last year and also snapped the lovely beer portrait, above. Read his story here.


Parents of school-age children would be required to report their gun ownership to their child's school under a new bill proposed by Sen. Maria Chappelle-Nadal, D-University City.
Chappelle-Nadal also sits on the Board of Education for the School District of University City. She will hold a news conference today to discuss Senate Bill 124.
According to a release from the Senator’s office Senate Bill 124 will make, “failing to prevent illegal firearm possession, it creates the offense of negligent storage of a firearm and it requires a parent or guardian enrolling a child in school to notify the school district or the governing body of a private or charter school that the parent or guardian owns a firearm.”
To read the entire text of the bill, click here.
The bill comes just over a month after a 12-year-old Brittany Woods Middle School student was killed in a shooting at a friend's home. Demetri Phillips was killed after he and a friend found a gun under a pillow.
KSDK spoke to parents at Maplewood-Richmond Heights High School, most of whom expressed concern about reporting gun ownership to their child's school authorities.
Do you think gun owners should have to alert their child's school about the guns in their homes? Tell us in the comments.

Okay folks, New York Fashion week is wrapping up today, and the world is a blaze with chatter of the hottest trends. I have a little bit of career-envy for fashion illustrators at this point in the year. But rather than sit on the side lines and think this industry is off limits to an Interior & Architectural Illustrator like myself, I decided to jump right in. But instead of focusing on the airy chiffon and the elegant shirtdress cut and the argyle; I focused on the atmosphere and the runway designs.
While many fashion shows take place in large open spaces where the show starts and lights dim and the music blares and out walk grumpy giraffe-humans to model the label’s most exquisite pieces; a few fashion designers create elaborate experiences to showcase their collection.
Good runway design even make the models look happier.
While there were many great runway designs, the four below stood out to me in particular. And I will note, that while I think all of these brands showcase amazing fashion design, their collections had little to do with my selection of them for the best interior spaces. I think it’s also worth noting that the most successful fashion lines know their brand goes further than the last detail on a hem and reaches out to capture the consumer in the cohesiveness of their display.
Here is the first of four Runway Designs I will be showcasing from New York Fashion Week Fall/Winter 2016. They are all brilliant.
Make sure to check back tomorrow, Saturday, and Sunday, and early Monday morning to see the complete list.
Hailed for being playfully sophisticated and approaching the everyday with an incandescent charm, Kate Spade New York is for the girl who is both career and party girl alike. Everywhere she goes she’s the life of the party and yet totally relatable. (See Anna Kendrick personifying the brand here in her #missadverture series.)
This past fall at High Point Market, Kate Spade recently launched their very first Home Collection.
It’s brilliant. Just like the fashion label. It brings a colorful and more current approach to Mid- Century Modern. We see exactly that in Kate’s NYFW FW16 collection. The bountiful pink roses cascading from golden tulip vases evoke a kind of over-the-top luxury, and the paired down platforms display their collection with such a demure sophistication. The whole setting was a perfectly crafted in order to showcase their exuberant Fall 2016 line. Congrats, Kate Spade NY, you nailed this.
See Kate Spade’s FW16 Collection Here.
What do you think of Kate's Runway Design? And did you have a favorite look? My favorites were the hot pink coats and the bright floral patterns with dark inky backgrounds.

Giant shark made from recycled wood at Carrara
A giant shark made of wood recycled from a dismantled shed is making a splash at a northern Gold Coast market.
The 8-metre shark is one of three works being constructed from recycled materials at the Carrara Markets.
This is a creation by Danish sculptor, Thomas Dambo.
Mr Dambo believes in encouraging others to recycle and he is creating the sculpture out of thousands of recycled pallets provided by Carrara Markets.
Visitors will be able to walk through the shark’s mouth and pose for photographs.

Very few people can stand up and legitimately claim ‘I cured myself of cancer.’ One of those who can is JOHANN ILGENFRITZ, the founder and head of UK Health Radio — an internet station which has just landed on the world’s top 15 podcast platforms, giving its health shows a potential reach of a staggering 780 million listeners across the globe.
Johann Ilgenfritz was just 47 when his oncologist told him to go home and get his affairs in order because he had, if he was lucky, just 12 months to live.
Johann, who was working as a successful fashion and beauty photographer, running a busy and award-winning studio in Hamburg, Northern Germany, at the time, says he can still remember the feel of the smart white leather chair he was sitting in when the doctor delivered that body blow, telling him there were no more treatment options because the skin cancer that had been diagnosed the year before was back … with a vengeance.
And there was nothing more to be done, except to go home and wait to die.
But there was something else that happened in the room; something that Johann still remembers vividly to this day — more than a decade after being effectively handed that death sentence.
“I heard a voice in my head which was screaming at me and telling me I wasn’t going to die,” he says. “I knew this voice was coming from me and it was also very different to my reaction when I had first been diagnosed with cancer the year before.”
Oddly, Johann’s cancer story had actually started with a heart attack.
It was February 2011 and the then 46-year-old Johann, who had a black belt in karate and was no couch potato, was playing tennis with a doctor friend when he suddenly felt as if someone had pulled the plug out and switched off his power supply as he collapsed on the floor of the indoor court.
“I know I must have collapsed because I remember feeling the texture of the indoor grass covering against my face, but I don’t remember being taken to hospital or anything else about the heart attack,” he says.
His recovery from the shock event was so slow it baffled his doctors, who decided to carry out further tests, only to discover Johann had advanced skin cancer which had spread throughout his body, even to his left eye.
“It had metastasised and so was just everywhere and that explained why I wasn’t doing so well and wasn’t thriving after the heart attack,” he says.
“Looking back now, I see the heart attack as being a kind of warning shot. If that hadn’t happened, we may not have found the cancer until it was too late.”
At that first diagnosis, Johann was offered two rounds of radiotherapy and told the treatment was ‘doable.’ He chose to put his trust in the medical profession and willingly went along with whatever was suggested.
“I always tell people now that I experienced everything radiation has to offer,” he says wryly.
But the thing that really troubled him was the fact that nobody really ever told him anything. Not what to expect, not what to do – or not do. Not what to eat – or not eat. Nothing.
“I really hated that experience of not knowing what was happening or why, and the feelings of helplessness it left me with. I wanted to be part of the process and so when I got the second diagnosis, things were very different. This time I was going to be involved in my own healing, “he says.


text: The diagnosis of acoustic neuroma can be confirmed by hearing tests and imaging modalities like the MRI and CT scans. It is advisable to take the collaborative opinions of a neurologist, an audiologist, an ENT surgeon and an oncologist - together to decide the treatment of acoustic neuroma. Apart from regular monitoring of the tumour, the key treatment modalities are radiation and surgery. The tumour can be effectively removed by surgical resection. Radiotherapy can be used to shrink tumour preoperatively and also as a follow-up treatment post-operatively. There are two types of radiation modalities available, namely stereotactic radiotherapy and stereotactic radio surgery. Both these modalities differ in their dose intensity. The treatment should be ideally decided upon, after discussion between the doctor and the patient. It also may depend upon the health status and the age of the patient.

Disgraced Labrador M.P. Peter Penashue broke his silence yesterday.
The beleaguered Peter the cheater got caught in a scrum outside of the House of Commons yesterday. Looking very uncomfortable and sounding horrible, Harper’s silenced Intergovernmental Affairs Minister said he would be explaining “his side of the story” after he explains it to his constituents in Labrador.
He plans to unveil all on Tuesday.
I sense a resignation.
If I were advising him, I would pull a Shelia Copps and opt for a by-election, which he could contest.
He could borrow convicted fraudster, Liberal Wally Andersons’s infamous onion and shed tears about honest mistakes. How the campaign started with only him and a worker and grew until the momentum for change overtook everything else.
Than he could shift into his love of Labrador. His ability as a cabinet minister to deliver for the province.
Next, he could talk about democracy and his genuine believe that these spending “mistakes” were genuinely not done deliberately. That he believes the democratic process must be above suspicion. He could than announce his resignation and at the same time announce his candidacy.
Or he could just resign and quietly pick up a federal appointment, like the vacant senate seat- after the by-election.
Or…we could see more tears and no resignation.
Former MP, Liberal Todd Russell must be eager for a rematch or a resignation.The Liberal incumbent was robbed of a win by only 79 votes. He has since been acclaimed as the President of the NunatuKavut Community Council.

Hypothesis for the calculation of the rock pressure reaction within the secondary stress field of horizontally excavated mining, for different types of quarrying
- 2.8k Downloads
After underground excavations, a stress field develops that deviates from the original field. The extent of deviation depends on both the profile and size of the excavation. To calculate stability during the excavation, it is crucial to consider the cross-sectional shape and area of the cavity. It is assumed that these parameters are only partly incorporated into the calculation of lateral pressure in the cavity.

I’ve found myself drawn to some rather granny-esque items lately. I don’t know why- but I’ve purchased a dusty old portrait and a pair of Staffordshire dogs in the past couple weeks alone. I love antiques and classic, traditional design, but am appreciating the more really old school Americana like pieces. Including spongeware (or “graniteware” or “spatterware”). And good thing, I’m not alone! A few designers are into it too- like Tory Burch, who released a spongeware collection this year. It’s such a fun pattern (and best in blue and white, of course) and adds a little pop of color to tables or displayed in collections.
I love the versions I’ve spotted in antique shops that have stripes (of course, because I have a sick addiction to striped anything).
A collection of spongeware pitchers.
Pottery Barn released a version of this recently.
A pretty tablescape utilizing Tory’s collection.
Here are some great spongeware items.
It’s easy to pair spongeware with other types and styles of plates to create an interesting, summery tabletop- from solid colors to stripes and busier patterns. Here are some examples of what pairs well with spongeware:

How to make a money tree?
Watch the video
Money tree attracts prosperity to the house, so this Chinese souvenir can be seen in the homes of many people. There are quite a few variations of this talisman, but all of them are designed to attract wealth to the house. Money tree can be made even independently. Consider several options for its manufacture of various materials.
How to make a tree of bills?
To make a money tree at home, you will need the following materials:
- foam ball as a base;
- wooden stick;
- clay pot;
- various accessories;
First make a crown of the future money tree. To do this, cut out the foamball of any size. Now roll each bill into a bag and fix the edges with glue. The number of money leaves will depend on the size of the ball basis. You can also create a curly crown, to do this, fold the notes in accordion. Bend the tip of the banknote into the base with pins.Do not skimp on the leaves, because the more they will be, the more effective the tree will look.
Next, wrap the future trunk, which will serve as a wooden stick, with foil and insert one of its ends into the base of the crown. Now insert the second end into a flower pot, which will need to be filled with a plaster mix. You can decorate the crown of the tree with artificial green leaves. Trees and red ribbons are welcome in the decor, because this color attracts wealth according to feng shui. You can also stick notes with wishes on bills, so you will attract even more money to your house.
How to make a money tree from coins?
You can make a money tree from coins. Its production is quite a laborious process, so for a common understanding it is better to watch the video or find step by step photos. So, for the talisman height of 12 cm will require the following materials:
- natural stones, preferably corresponding to your zodiac sign;
- 8 Chinese coins with a square hole in the middle;
- copper wire;
- floral ribbon brown.
Cut the wire into pieces of 15 cm. Then weave 1 coin and 3 pebbles into each piece.As a result, you get twigs. When you're done with them, wrap them in a ribbon, connecting them together. As a result, you get 7 main branches, collect themthe main trunk, wrapping it with a ribbon. Now put the barrel in a pot of plaster and wait until the material hardens. That's it, the money tree is ready.
In the decoration of the tree, you can use beads. It is easy enough for them to replace natural stones; then the work will not be so voluminous, but it will look very nice. You can also tie red ribbons to the trunk and twigs. This color activates the talisman, and the money will come to you faster.
There is one more variant of the money tree - to grow it. Of course, you will have to take care of it all the time, but as it grows, your income will grow, so you can say that it is a great talisman for attracting wealth.

Paul Merson reckons Everton 24-year-old will be key under Rafael Benitez
Paul Merson is suggesting that Everton manager Rafael Benitez will make Dominic Calvert-Lewin a key part of his plans at Goodison Park.
Calvert-Lewin, 24, is a highly-rated striker that has seen his reputation soar in the past couple of years. For instance, he was with the England squad at the Euros this summer after scoring 21 goals in all competitions last season.
However, he’ll now be starting fresh under a new manager this campaign.
The centre-forward appeared to have a great understanding with ex-Toffees boss Carlo Ancelotti, something he needs to try find again.
Pundit Merson feels that Benitez will have big plans or the Englishman.
“I’m going to go for Dominic Calvert-Lewin to be in the running for the Premier League Golden Boot as well. He started the 2020-21 season in stunning style, but Everton didn’t play to his strengths in the second half of the season,” Merson said.
“Rafa will make sure Calvert-Lewin gets the service he requires and urge his wingers to put balls into the box.”
Benitez needs Calvert-Lewin to shine for Everton
If Benitez looks at the Everton squad he’s inheriting, surely Calvert-Lewin is one of the names that jumps out at him as a huge positive.
First of all, he’s the team’s biggest goal threat that is ultimately going to win games. Secondly, he’s someone that can be developed into an even better player with all his potential. Finally, he’s perfect for the English game with his blend of pace and power.
The Merseyside club could do with more competition for the number nine position in the new season, but Calvert-Lewin is the frontrunner to spearhead the attack.

high-adventure experience includes several days of trekking in wilderness and other rugged, remote locations. The Boy Scouts of America operates four national high-adventure facilities and numerous local council high adventure bases that provide outdoor adventure opportunities for older Scouts and Venturers.
Northern Tier is the BSA’s gateway to adventure in the Great Northwoods. As the organization’s oldest national High-Adventure facility, Northern Tier has been outfitting Scouting groups for canoe trips since the summer of 1923. The Charles L. Sommers Base has been home to the program since 1941.
In the summer, Scouts from Northern Tier’s three wilderness canoe bases explore millions of acres of pristine lakes, meandering rivers, dense forests, and wetlands in northern Minnesota, northwest Ontario, and northeast Manitoba. In the winter, Northern Tier is home to the OKPIK Cold-Weather Camping program, the BSA’s premier winter high-adventure program. Fall and spring programming also is available.
Florida Sea Base
Since 1980, the Florida Sea Base has provided Scouts and Scouters from across America aquatic adventures that can’t be found anyplace else. As Scouting’s most complete aquatic facility, Sea Base operates 15 different adventures ranging from scuba diving to sailing tall ships out of four locations: two in the Florida Keys, one in the U.S. Virgin Islands, and one in Marsh Harbour, Bahamas.
During their time at the base, participants have the opportunity to swim, snorkel, and fish among the most beautiful coral reefs in the northern hemisphere.
Founded in in 1938 as Philturn Rockymountain Scoutcamp, today’s Philmont Scout Ranch is a bustling center for high-adventure and training opportunities. Philmont — which has served as a famous stop on the Santa Fe Trail, the home of Jicarilla Apache and Moache Ute Indians, a prospecting community, and a working cattle ranch over the years — is the BSA’s largest national High-Adventure base.
Its 34 staffed camps and 55 trail camps provide an unforgettable adventure in the high country along hundreds of miles of rugged, rocky trails. Since its founding, more than 1 million participants have participated in the trek programs offered at the ranch.
Philmont also is the home to the Philmont Training Center, which is the national volunteer training facility for the BSA. Participants are able to attend weeklong courses throughout the summer while their family members join in through staff-developed family programs.
Today, youth and adults take advantage of the ranch’s camping, training, and work programs. Most activity takes place during the summer, but Philmont also hosts events and conferences throughout the year, including Autumn Adventure and Winter Adventure programs.
Summit Bechtel Reserve
Programs at the Paul R. Christen National High Adventure Base at the Summit Bechtel Family National Scout Reserve began in the summer of 2014. Activities revolve around four program tracks: the River, featuring rafting and kayaking; Helmets and Harnesses, which offers climbing, zip, and ropes courses; the Marksman, featuring a range of shooting sports; and Wheels, where participants can experience mountain biking, skateboarding, and BMX.
High-adventure participants also experience activities centered on the Summit Bechtel Reserve’s core mission areas: adventure, sustainability, leadership, and service.
Located in the New River Gorge region of West Virginia, the facility sits on 14,000 acres of forested mountains adjacent to more than 70,000 acres of the New River Gorge National River area.
Beginning in 2013, the Summit Bechtel Reserve became the permanent home of the BSA’s national jamboree, which serves as Scouting’s premier event every four years. The Summit also will host the 2019 World Scout Jamboree, where an estimated 40,000 Scouts and adult volunteers from around the world will attend the first-ever world jamboree to be jointly hosted by three countries: Canada, Mexico, and the United States.

This Saturday’s Cage Warriors 99 card was supposed to be headlined by a flyweight title fight between champion Nathan Greyson and challenger Blaine O’Driscoll.
The flyweight champion has now refused to make weight for the bout after reports started surfacing that the UFC may eliminate their flyweight division.
“I hope nobody takes this the wrong way, but it’s not like I’m getting paid at Cage Warriors. There’s no real incentive to make that [flyweight] limit. I need incentive, seriously. When I told my dad about [the UFC cutting flyweights], I was nearly in tears,” said Greyson on the Eurobash podcast. “I’m not going to lie, it’s a bit sticky. My Dad told me, ‘Don’t fight, because the money Cage Warriors are paying you ain’t enough’. It’s the weight cutting; everyone knows that weight cutting is very dangerous.”
Cage Warriors President Graham Boylan has since announced that a bout between James Webb and Jason Radcliffe will headline the event.
Boylan also stated that he got word from Greyson’s team five days before the event that the champion wasn’t competing and the end result is that Greyson is no longer in the promotion.
“100 percent (Greyson not fighting in Cage Warriors anymore),” he said to MMA Fighting. “He will never step foot in Cage Warriors again.”
Cage Warriors 99 takes place on Saturday, November 17 from the Colchester Carter Hall in Essex, England with James Webb and Jason Radcliffe headlining. Fightful is providing live coverage of the event, which streams live on UFC Fight Pass.

La Cuisine Viennoise
Although you may have nothing to do whatever with cloaks and suits in wholesale quantities, yet it is eminently worth your while to trek over to Chicago's wholesale district at the west end of the Loop for a meal at the Weiss restaurant. Alex Weiss has been caterer to the town's wholesalers for over twenty years, his clientele being made up largely of the executives and heads of the wholesale firms in the district.
Viennese cooking is featured at this place, the kitchen being in the capable hands of Chef Theodore Huber, a product of Austro-Hungarian restaurants. Therefore, the fresh paprika pike with steamed potato is worth the trip over here; the Hungarian lamb goulash with baked noodles makes you love this place; the gefulte fish is incomparable; the matzos pancake with currant jelly cannot be praised too highly; and the apple strudel is a dessert that eminently deserves to be called dessert. The French and Danish pastries come from the restaurant's ovens and are always fresh.
The establishment is divided into several dining rooms, all decorated in good style and with no artificial effects to catch the eye of the passing pedestrian. Weiss' reputation for good food is sufficient advertising. The main dining room is on the first floor, a popular-priced lunch counter is in the basement, and the second floor contains the tea room.

Post News Network
Cuttack, August 4: The ruling Biju Janata Dal Thursday organised a demonstration near the district collector’s office here to protest the construction of barrages on Mahanadi river by neighbouring Chhattisgarh.
Senior BJD leaders, including Rajya Sabha MPs Prasanna Acharya and Narendra Kumar Swain and school and mass education minister Debi Prasad Mishra, threatened to intensify the party’s agitation on this issue.
The BJD leaders alleged that the Chhattisgarh government had taken unilateral decisions to build barrages on the Mahanadi, which is considered a lifeline for the people of Orissa. They also alleged that the BJB-led central government has conspired with Chhattisgarh to deny adequate Mahanadi water to the state.
The leaders asserted that the party will continue its fight to protect the interests of the state. They also criticised opposition Congress and BJP for not safeguarding the interest of Orissa during their rule at the Centre.
MLAs Ranendra Pratap Swain, Debashish Samantaray, Pravat Ranjan Biswal, Pramod Kumar Mallick and Chandrasarathi Behera, mayor Meenakshee Behera, zilla parishad chairperson Prashanta Behera, city BJD president Madhusudan Sahu and party’s district unit executive president Prafulla Singh were among those who participated in the agitation.
BJD activists also sent a memorandum to the President through the district collector.
