Are you seeking to join Indian Army NC? If so, welcome to Nutrition Greeks. I know there are many military members around the world seeking to improve their cardiovascular endurance. I have created a new resource called the Army ACFT 2 mile running course. Also, served over 20 years in the US Army. So, I do understand the complexities of military life and trying to be in great physical fitness. I have run 4:22 for the mile(1609m), 9:27 for 2 miles, 14:18 for 5K and 2:19:35 for the marathon.
The main focus for runners is pace sustainment. Of course, we all can run a portion of our races at goal race pace. The real strategy is how can we hold our goal race pace longer? The only way to do this is by improving the body's lactate tolerance. Easy running will build your endurance but it is speed training that will help you improve race times. Proper pacing is also critical if you are going to run a faster 1.6km run time. The new Army 2 mile running course covers the exact strategies to ensure you run faster using leverage. Leverage simply means doing more with less.
So, higher mileage is not always the answer. You can run too much easy, aerobic mileage and never achieve your time goals. The world's top runners run between 35 to 40 percent of their mileage at or below anaerobic threshold effort. Our anaerobic threshold is the point where lactic acid begins to rise in the body. Remember, the faster we run the more oxygen is required. So, it is essential to run more mileage each week running at higher heart rates in order to improve race performances.
Indian Army 1.6 KM Running Time
Male Indian Soldiers need to run a time of 5:30 in order to receive 60 marks on the Indian Army fitness test. Male athletes who run a time of 5:31 to 5:45 receive 48 marks. Of course, if you run 5:46 or slower you will fail. Female Soldiers need to run a time of 7:30 to receive 60 marks and up to 8 minutes in order to get 48 marks. Times of 8:01 or slower will not be good enough. So, it is important to focus on improving your overall leg speed. My goal with the new Army ACFT 2 mile running course is to share with you strategies that work.
The 1600m run is a highly anaerobic event. So, you have to build your endurance. That being said, speed is what will help to make that goal 1.6km run time you desire to feel easier. Remember, it takes between 3 to 4 weeks for the body to adapt to the stresses you are placing on the body. So, you have to be patient. My top recommendation is to focus on running easy for 4 weeks first. You want to build your general fitness before starting speed workouts, fartlek training and hill repetitions.LEARN MORE ABOUT THE ARMY ACFT 2 MILE COURSE
How Do You Run 1600 Meter Time in the Army?
The longer your build up, the better. The new Army course that I created concludes with a 16-week training plan. In addition, contains 9 modules consisting of 58 video lessons. I also discuss the exact workouts I was doing to qualify for the US Army World Class Athlete Program (WCAP). Also, the training tips I was taught by 3 of the world's top distance running coaches. You will be learning the fundamentals that will hep you to drop significant time off of your current 1600m time.
I highly recommend running a negative split in the 1600m. So, focus on running the last 2 laps faster than you run the first 2 laps. I see far too many military members and civilians making is running too aggressive too early in the race. So, to join Indian Army nc you need to be in the best possible physical shape. Cardio is a key component of passing the test. You are not going to run a fast time by running once or twice per week. My recommendation is to run a minimum of 4 days a week and preferably 5 to 6 days a week.
The new Army ACFT (army combat fitness test) Embrace the Suck 2 mile course is self-paced. So, you can take your time listening to the videos. We will be covering the exact tactics the world's top middle to long distance runners use to run at the elite level.
How Can I Run 1.6 KM in 5 Minutes in a Month?
I wouldn't recommend trying to run a time this fast in a matter of 4 weeks. One of the biggest mistakes runners make is trying to rush their fitness. Anything worth doing is worth doing right the first time. Remember, you will be following a new strategy with this course. You will be taken out of your comfort zone. Of course, there are many runners in India elsewhere who want to run a 4:59 1600m time. In addition, people seeking to join India Army nc want to run as fast as possible on the their physical fitness test.
I certainly know you can do this but a 16-week training plan is a better move. You will have more time to adequately prepare and have a higher chance of success. Remember, a 4:59 1.6km run time requires you to run between 74 to 75 seconds per lap for 4 laps. So, you have to improve your ability to handle higher amounts of lactic acid. The only way to do this is to extend the duration of your tempo runs. In addition, spend 1 day per week training at your vo2 max. Our vo2 max is our body's maximum oxygen uptake.
How Many KM Run in Indian Army?
Running at vo2 max is running so fast you can't clear lactic acid faster than it is building up in the body. Easy running won't produce this physiological adaptation. Faster running will. We are running between 95 to 105% of our maximum heart rate at the vo2 max. Make sure to jog on your recovery days. I would recommend giving yourself 2 days of easy, aerobic running between hard workouts. The real benefits of your hard training are going to come from within the rest period.
The 1600m event is 1.6km or 4 laps around the track. Indian Soldiers basically run 1 mile (1609m) for thei physical fitness test. We in the US Army run 2 miles or 8 laps. Our Navy, Coast Guard and Air Force here in the united States of America run 1.5 miles (2.4km). Furthermore, our US Marines run 3 miles. So, race distances vary with every countries military. What has been the longest tempo run you have done in the past training for your 1.6km run? 2 miles? 3? I would focus on working to extend this out to 4 to 5 miles (8km). Of course, be patient with this. First, focus on adapting to a 2 to 3 mile tempo run (85 to 89% of max heart rate) before moving toward 4 to 5 miles.
I highly recommend investing in a heart rate monitor. I use the Garmin 245 and it helps me to stay in the correct heart rate zones to ensure I am not over training. It is better to be under trained than over trained. Nutrition is also essential. So, ingest a Herbalife protein shake no later than 30 minutes after your workouts. The goal here is to replace the glycogen you lost during your workouts. In addition, to ensure you help your muscles to rebuild.
How Do I Clear my Army Run?
To join Indian Army nc you need to run fast. 5:30 for men and 7:30 for women are not slow times. So, you have to train focusing on running more quality rather than quantity mileage. Higher mileage is not a guarantee you will succeed if you are running that mileage too slow. The 16 week training plan at the end of this course takes the guess work out of your preparation. You will know the workouts you need to each day. In addition, you'll also know why you are doing them.
Again, the course has 58 video lessons as well. I cover with you everything that I was taught by 3 of the world's top distance running coaches. In addition, the fundamentals some of the world's top runners that I lived and trained with taught me. The best way to get faster over 1.6km or further is to mimic what the best runners do. So, if your goal is to join Indian Army nc you have to follow a new strategy. One that will get you results.
I would love to keep in touch with you and hear about your progression in our sport. I am certain this course will help you run faster if you are interested to join Indian army nc. Remember, the faster you run for 1.6km the faster you will be in the longer races like the 10 mile or marathon event. Make sure to subscribe to the RunDreamAchieve YouTube channel. I create new training videos there each week to help runners like you get to the next level.
Be sure to start implementing mental training into your preparation as well. The vast majority of runners only focus on physical training and neglect mental rehearsal. So, your running success has to start in the mind before it ever becomes a reality in real life. I want you spending 10 minutes daily visualizing yourself getting across that finish line with your goal 1.6km time on the clock.
In addition, see yourself running relaxed and passing people. It is by doing this for 16 weeks you will be training the subconscious mind to bring you to that goal time are aiming at.LEARN MORE ABOUT THE ARMY ACFT 2 MILE COURSE

MOUNTAIN lovers, thrill-seekers and armchair adventurers can all sit back in the comfort of a local cinema or arts centre and enjoy this year’s programmes from the Banff Mountain Film Festival. The next date in the FTR area is at Swindon Wyvern Theatre on 19th February.
The 2020 tour includes a new selection of gripping action and adventure films. There are two collections from the world’s best adventure film-makers, with super-human challenges, soulful journeys and spectacular cinematography from the wildest corners of the planet.
The tour also includes the film Up to Speed, which puts a spotlight on the extraordinary discipline of speed climbing, featuring in the Olympic Games for the first time at Tokyo 2020.
UK and Ireland tour director Nell Teasdale says: “As well as exhilarating stories starring intrepid characters and pioneering journeys, an evening at Banff is a celebration of the great outdoors, with a vibrant atmosphere and a real sense of community. And we guarantee audiences will leave inspired to have an adventure of their own!”
The films are chosen from hundreds of entries into the Banff Mountain Film Festival, which is held every November in the Canadian Rockies.
The films include:
A Nordic Skater – Nordic skating is the art of long-distance skating on natural ice and, on the frozen fjords and lakes of Norway, A former action sports fan, Per Sollerman now uses all of his senses to journey safely over the ice and feel part of the landscape. An enticing portrayal of this little-known sport.
The Running Pastor – As a shepherd’s son, Sverri Steinholm grew up chasing sheep around the dramatic, otherworldly Faroe Islands. Today he is a pastor of the Lutheran Church, the dominant religion on the islands. He is also a compulsive runner, finding solace and spiritual refuge from personal conflicts and the burdens of priesthood on rugged, exposed trails of his homeland.
Home – Oxfordshire adventurer Sarah Outen embarks on a four-year, human-powered traverse of the globe, travelling by bike, kayak and rowing boat across Europe, Asia, the Pacific Ocean, North America and finally the Atlantic. The punishing elements, months of solitude and storms push Sarah to the mental and physical brink, and Home intimately and unflinchingly captures her 20,000-mile odyssey.
The High Road – Nina Williams is drawn to climbing the most beautiful lines… which also happen to be the tallest. Nina specialises in highball bouldering – climbing tall boulders of extreme difficulty, without a rope – which combines the physicality of bouldering with the mental discipline of free soloing..
The Ladakh Project – French athlete Nouria Newman tackles a 375km solo kayaking expedition down the most remote and daunting rivers in the Indian Himalaya. With some hair-raising moments, Nouria is forced to push herself to the edge of her limits.
Catch the Banff Mountain Film Festival at the following cinemas and arts centres around our region:

Keeping abreast of Neil Young’s multitudinous releases can begin to feel like a full-time job. Since Shakey’s last studio LP, Homegrown, in June 2020, there have been no fewer than four live archival albums. He has already announced another Crazy Horse record, while this is the first of five instalments in the new Bootleg Series. Questions over quality control endure, but not here. Carnegie Hall 1970 (Live) is a superb addition to the catalogue.
The album’s 23 songs are taken from the first of two sets Shakey played at the iconic Manhattan venue on 4th December, 1970. The latter show has long been available via bootleggers, but the first, considered by Young as “far superior”, has remained unheard, until now. It finds Young in celebratory mood, nine weeks after releasing After The Gold Rush, 19 months on from the raw guitar pyrotechnics of Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere, and a little over a year ahead of his first No.1 album, Harvest.
Mixed from the original analogue tapes by Young and engineer Niko Bolas, aka The Volume Dealers, the sound quality is excellent, Young throwing in six songs from After The Gold Rush alongside Buffalo Springfield and Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young material. The sense of occasion is palpable as grand silvery strums and hefty bass notes from Young’s Martin D-45 provide sparse accompaniment, training the spotlight on the vulnerable majesty of his song writing.
You can hear a track from Carnegie Hall 1970 on our dedicated Neil Young radio station.

ollywood remakes of foreign films are rarely welcomed without prejudice – as if telling the story in a different language somehow changes its meaning. No matter how good it may be, the same tired adage always applies: it’s not as good as the original. Thankfully, I’ve never seen the 1990 Italian drama that inspired writer/director Kirk Jones’ latest film, and it’s probably for the better. “Everybody’s Fine” is one of those movies that you only need to see once, but thanks to a great cast led by a wonderfully heartfelt performance by Robert De Niro, you’ll be glad that you did.
De Niro stars as Frank, a retired factory worker who finds himself all alone after his wife passes away. In an attempt to stay connected to his four children, he invites them back home for a family reunion, only for each one to cancel days before they’re scheduled to arrive. Frank decides that if they’re not going to come to him, he’ll go to them, and against his doctor’s orders, he sets off on a cross-country road trip to surprise them in their respective cities. What he discovers is that his kids – daughters Amy (Kate Beckinsale) and Rosie (Drew Barrymore), and son Robert (Sam Rockwell) – haven’t turned out exactly the way he thought, and to make matters worse, they’re hiding a secret about their brother Danny.
Easily his best performance in years (although that’s not exactly a compliment when you consider his other work), “Everybody’s Fine” is for Robert De Niro what “About Schmidt” was for Jack Nicholson. Finding quality work as a young actor doesn’t seem to be too difficult if you’re talented, but as soon as you cross that threshold from leading man to aging veteran, good roles seem a lot harder to come by. In fact, even though “Everybody’s Fine” doesn’t present De Niro with quite as complex of a character as Warren Schmidt, it still lets him flex his dramatic muscle enough to put him in contention for a Best Actor nomination. It’s not strong enough to win, but his portrayal of a hardworking father who just wants his kids to be happy is simply too sweet to ignore.
The actors playing the adult version of those kids, however, are pretty forgettable, but that’s because they’re not onscreen long enough to leave any kind of lasting impression. Instead, they’re just there to keep the story moving along, and though it initially starts out as a road comedy of sorts, it eventually turns into a real tearjerker. Still, it’s a very genuine transition, as director Kirk Jones doesn’t pander to the audience so much as he highlights the small moments that we all experience at some point in our lives. Seeing the way that Frank views his children (as much younger versions of themselves) is enough to melt your heart. And in a season when a trip to the movies means deciding between big budget blockbusters and heavy-handed Oscar bait, it’s nice to see a film that’s actually about the holidays – namely, the importance of family.
Single-Disc DVD Review:
The single-disc release of “Everybody’s Fine” features over 10 minutes of deleted and extended scenes – mostly of Robert De Niro’s character speaking to fellow travelers – but they don’t add much to the story. There’s also an interview with Paul McCartney about composing the end title song, “(I Want To) Come Home,” that is just as pointless.

An electric generator is a device or system that uses electromechanical and electromagnetic principles to convert mechanical energy to electricity. The use of generators in electricity generation is a common practice in many parts of the world. This article discusses electric generator meaning, history, and working principle, as outlined below;
Electric Generator Meaning: 6 Definitions of the Electric Generator
An electric generator is a device which converts mechanical energy to electricity which can be used externally for various purposes.
However, both devices (electric generator, electric motor) are similar in that they depend on electrical, mechanical and magnetic interactions as well as conversions, to function.
The following definition addresses these aspects of the electric generator.
An electric generator is a device which generates electricity through the interaction between electric charges and magnetic fields, that are creates through electromechanical and electromagnetic conversions.
Although the most common conversion sequence for an electric generator is mechanical energy to electricity, a more holistic outline of the conversions and processes involved in the process of generating electricity, can be used to define the electric generator;
Electric generator is a system equipped with components that help to convert heat energy from a fuel, to mechanical energy in the form of rotary motion, and subsequently to electricity, by combustion, pressure application, and electromagnetic induction.
It is important to note that the conversions in an electric generator may vary based on differences in the type and design of the generator, the fuel, and other operational conditions.
Because of this potential variability, the electric generator may also be referred to as an ‘energy converter’.
The components of an electric generator can also be included in the definition, as follows;
An electric generator is a device which comprises of an engine, fuel system, alternator, voltage regulator, control panel, lubrication system, cooling and exhaust system, and main frame, that work in combination to generate electricity from mechanical energy.
While generators are mostly associated with non-renewable energy technology, they are found in some renewable energy systems. This fact is portrayed in the next definition;
Electric generator is a device that generates electricity from mechanical energy which may be provided by a non-renewable resource like fossil fuel, or a renewable resource like solar, geothermal, wave, hydro and wind.
Lastly, we may define an electric generator on the basis of input and output factors, as follows;
An electric generator is a device that uses mechanical energy input from a fuel, to produce electric current output that can be used to power appliances.
History and Origin of the Electric Generator
The development of the electric generator was a major aspect of the industrial revolution, as it enabled new technologies to harness electricity derived from fossil fuels, and thereby led to overall economic and industrial growth.
In the eighteenth century, modifications of the steam engine contributed to increasing the efficiency of electric generator technology.
Notable effort in this area was made by James Watt, who developed a modified version of the steam engine in 1781 .
While the available technologies during this period did not bear much operational similarity to the electric generator, they gave insight to the overall mechanism required to make generators efficient.
The most important step in the development of electric generator technology, was arguably made by Michael Faraday, when he conducted experiments and made observations with regard to electromagnetism in the early 1830s .
Based on these observations, the first modern electromagnetic principle; Faraday’s Law, was established. This law summarized Faraday’s main discovery, that electric current can be produced from mechanical energy in a magnetic field.
Faraday’s Law highlighted a variety of concepts that include electromotive phenomenon, electromagnetic induction, and electromechanical interaction. Each of these concepts is vital to the operation of an electric generator.
The Faraday disk was designed based on the same observations, and can be described as an early, primitive precursor to the modern electric generator. It comprised of a spinning copper disc within the magnetic field created by a horseshoe magnet.
Many faults were identified in the Faraday disk, including DC current interference, low efficiency, low output voltage, energy wastage, and weak electromagnetic induction. Identification and assessment of these faults helped in the subsequent improvements which were made.
Several accounts suggest that the phenomenon of electromagnetism was also observed independently by American scientist Joseph Henry within the same period as it was observed by Faraday .
Early models of the electric generator produced direct current; DC. Following Faraday’s success with electromagnetism, the French instrument designer and engineer Hippolyte Pixii, built one of the first-recorded dynamo generators in 1832 .
Even before the publication of the electromagnetic discoveries, in 1827 Anyos Jedlik commenced his experimental studies of electromagnetism and electromechanical systems . These led to the development of the ‘electric starter’, an electromagnetic rotor, in the early 1850s.
Antonio Pacinotti built a DC dynamo in 1860 , which was one of the earliest stable-output DC generators.
Subsequent dynamo generators within this period, closely resembled Pixii’s model, until Werner von Siemens, Charles Wheatstone and Samuel Alfred Varley invented a more practical and efficient dynamo electric generator, which was patented in late 1866.
The dynamo electric generator gave insight into electromagnetic technology and systems designs, like electromagnets and metallic windings.
Notable improvement in electromagnetic components of the electric generator, was made, beginning from the year 1870. Zenobe Gramme modified the electromagnet to include a solid ferromagnetic core, in 1871 .
This change helped electric generator technology to become much more efficient, by strengthening the effect of electromagnetic inductance. It also enabled electric generators to become commercially viable, by proving the potential of the device for electricity generation.
Due to a temporary exponential increase in public interest, numerous models of the dynamo electric generator were developed after Gramme’s modification. One of these was an early AC generator, designed by Charles F. Bush in the year 1876 , which was a moderate commercial success.
In 1882, Thomas Edison invented a model of the DC generator, which was put into practical use in New York, United States . This was one of the last developments made in the field of DC electricity generation.
Alternator systems were first demonstrated by a Westinghouse Electric engineer; William Stanley Jr., in 1886 . Further work led to the development of the polyphase alternator in 1891, which was an improved alternator system for generating multiphase alternating current.
Modifications of electric generator technology in the late nineteenth, the twentieth, and the twenty-first centuries, have mainly involved efforts to improve AC generators, with the outcomes of such efforts including polyphase, large-polyphase, and magnetohydrodynamic generators.
Electric Generator Working Principle: How Electric Generators Work
The electric generator works based on the principle of electromagnetic induction, by which an electric current is produced from mechanical energy, under the influence of a magnetic field .
There are three (3) main steps in the operation of an electric generator, which are energy supply, energy conversion, and electromagnetic induction.
It is important to note that some similarity exists between the working principle and operational sequence of an electric generator and electric motor.
Essentially, the electric motor operates by the same electromagnetic induction principle as the electric generator, and its sequence of operation is a direct reversal of the sequence involved in electricity generation.
For electric motors, electromechanical conversion enables electricity to be converted to mechanical energy, whereas mechanical energy is converted to electricity in the generator.
Each main step in the operation of an electric generator is discussed below;
1). Energy Supply (Step 1)
Energy supply is the stage in which energy is initially derived from its primary source, by the generator.
Parts of an electric generator which are actively involved in this stage include the fuel system, and the engine.
The energy source may be renewable or non-renewable. For renewable energy sources, examples include biomass, nuclear fuel (occurs in finite amount but may be classified under renewable sources), solar, wind, geothermal and hydro. Non-renewable sources are mainly fossil fuels like diesel, coal, and natural gas.
In order for the energy source to be effectively harnessed, a mechanism or process for energy derivation or recovery must be used. This mechanism is usually combustion, which leads to thermal breakdown of the energy source (fuel) to release energy.
Power output of an electric generator depends on the amount of energy which was supplied, and how effectively this energy was used.
This means that an electric generator should ideally be equipped with systems and mechanisms that minimize energy loss and optimize energy utilization. Cogeneration systems usually include equipment that recover lost energy (in the form of heat), in order for it to be reused.
The efficiency, size, effectiveness production capacity, and complexity of the engine of electric generator, determine how well energy supply will be optimized. Generators equipped with high-capacity, high-efficiency engines generally tend to optimize energy supply and power output better than the less-efficient ones.
2). Energy Conversion (Step 2)
During energy conversion, the heat energy derived from the fuel is transformed or converted to mechanical energy, which is used to spin a conductor (rotor, armature) in a magnetic field.
The mode of energy conversion varies, depending on the type of electric generator, engine, and primary energy source.
For turbine generators that depend on nuclear, biomass, or fossil fuels, heat energy is converted to mechanical energy, by heating fluid like water to produce steam or other pressurized materials, which are used to push and spin the blades and shaft of the turbine .
In internal combustion engines (ICEs) heat energy is converted to mechanical energy by heating a fluid in the combustion chamber, thereby causing the fluid to expand and exert pressure on a moveable component of the electric generator .
The fluid in the combustion chamber is usually air, while the moveable component may be a rotor, nozzle, set of blades, or piston, depending on the specific design of the electric generator.
3). Electromagnetic Induction (Step 3)
Electromagnetic induction is the third and final step in the operation of an electric generator.
After heat energy is converted the mechanical energy produced from energy conversion is used to set a moveable component (rotor, nozzle, piston) into motion.
Rotary motion is the type of motion most commonly produced in an electric generator. The moveable component is a conductor, and may occur as a singular solid object, or as a composite that includes a solid core and windings of copper wire which surround it.
In the case of rotors, this copper winding is referred to as the armature.
A magnetic field is usually present in the electric generator. This field may be created by a permanent magnet or stator and field windings, and influences the moveable (rotating) conductor.
The influence of the magnetic field on the moving conductor establishes a potential difference (in voltage and electron-concentration) across the two ends of the conductor, which causes electrons to flow continuously, thereby generating electricity.
Mechanical energy-to-electricity conversion occurs based on the electromagnetic mechanism described above.
On the overall, there are three series of energy conversions that occur in a typical electric generator. These include
- Chemical energy-to-Heat energy (step one)
- Heat energy-to-Mechanical energy (step two)
- Mechanical energy-to-Electricity (step three)
An electric generator is a device which generates electricity by converting chemical, heat and mechanical energy, through combustion, conduction, and electromagnetic induction.
The history of electric generator technology dates back to the eighteenth century, and includes numerous contributions in the fields of electron mobility, electromagnetism, electromechanical dynamics and engineering.
Electromagnetic induction is the working principle of an electric generator. Typically, there are three steps in the operation of generators, which are as follows;
- Energy Supply (Step 1)
- Energy Conversion (Step 2)
- Electromagnetic Induction (Step 3)

Over the 20 or so years that I’ve been travelling in Iceland, there’s no doubt that some considerable changes have taken place. With an almost unbeatable list of ‘wow’ natural features on offer, this easy to reach and culturally quirky island on the edge of the Arctic circle has been the recipient of incredible tourist growth. However not all of the changes are as a result of increased visitor numbers.
Of course, there are more hotels, a bigger airport and more cars on the road, but many of the very significant changes in Iceland are due to our warming climate. My own observations and photographs at the Sólheimajökull glacier, for example, clearly show retreat of the glacier snout and associated changes to the lagoon that lies in front of it. Talking to Icelanders as I often do, the ever-changing daily weather, together with more seasonal variations are even more of a topic of conversation than in the UK. Hotter drier summers (2019), very wet summers (2018), early heavy snow falls and winter storms all appear to be more extreme.
So, what can we do? At Iceland Traveller, our interest in the long term of health and well-being of Iceland extends way beyond our desire to ensure that it remains a fabulous destination from a business point of view. As a graduate of Environmental Studies, a former teacher of Geography, and the daughter of a farmer, my personal concern for the planet and Iceland’s very special fauna and flora is of enormous importance. I’ve always sought to introduce our travel customers to the authentic and real Iceland that I have grown to know so well. I know that it’s now time to also focus on the importance and benefits of travelling with a greater emphasis on sustainability.
Although change on a global level is a must, I firmly believe that making our own individual adjustments in all that we do also adds up to making a significant collective impact. A recent tourism survey indicates that in 2018, 92.4% of visitors to Iceland chose this destination because of their appreciation for landscapes and nature, suggesting to me that there’s a good chance that deciding to travel more sustainably will be readily accepted and understood by Iceland Traveller customers. I certainly hope so.
SLOWER MORE SUSTAINABLE TRAVEL
Our ethos for greater sustainability is based upon visiting Iceland and
- travelling more slowly
- seeing a smaller geographical area in more detail
- making use of all opportunities to reduce environmental impact
- contributing to the economy of rural and remote areas
- staying 2 or more nights at one location
- supporting businesses with recognised sustainability policies in place
- joining in small group travel to reduce fuel consumption
- using hybrid self-drive cars
PURE GLACIAL WATER
When I first travelled to Iceland, water in plastic bottles was almost unheard of and Icelanders found it hard to understand what was wrong with drinking some of the purest water in the world straight from the tap. Tourist demand has changed this, but now there’s a real drive to promote the idea that visitors travel with and use their own refillable bottle. Simple, sensible and sustainable. We are also adding some other suggestions to the packing list that we provide for our customers to help reduce plastic use in Iceland.
NO FLY? FLY LESS?
Travelling to an island in the mid-Atlantic is always a challenge for anyone trying not to fly, but there are options to reduce this. Alternatives involve embarking on a route that involves land, sea and less air travel and for those for whom the journey is the holiday, we have some great suggestions to make. Ask us more about our Journeys to Iceland.
OUR TREE PLANTING SCHEME
Since making the journey to Iceland by air is likely to remain the most suitable method for many, our travel plans now all include the opportunity to contribute to carbon off-setting through our own tree planting initiative in Iceland. ‘Trees for Iceland’ is a small partnership that we have established with a sustainable farming family in Iceland where there is already tree planting in action. Saplings are purchased in Iceland planted by us during summer trips using the contributions that have been made. Read more here about Trees in Iceland
LESS IS MORE
If I’ve learnt anything about Iceland over the years, it’s that there’s something of interest around every corner and that to get the best out of it you need to adopt the idea of being on ‘Iceland Time’. Travelling slowly and sustainably is a perfect opportunity to enhance your experience of Iceland and to get ‘under the skin’ of this alluring and amazing country. Let us tell you how!

For years I’ve read how - first John the Baptist, then Jesus himself preached the same message. That simple one line message can be found in Matthew 4:17 which says:
"From that time on Jesus began to preach, 'Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is near.'"
All of this time, I thought that when they preached this message, they were saying that the kingdom of heaven is soon – that near was referring to time. It could’ve been referring to Jesus fulfilling his role as the messiah through his life, death and resurrection. Maybe it was referring to the idea that time is short and that we need to accept Jesus now because the kingdom of heaven comes upon us without warning. Maybe both of these are true. Or maybe, Jesus and John the Baptist were saying that the kingdom of heaven is within our grasp. So not near as in time, but near as in proximity. Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is near today, it is within your grasp. If you haven’t believed in your heart and confessed with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, then you still can. Heaven is within your grasp. It isn’t far, it isn’t impossible to obtain. But because of Jesus, it is very near.
The kingdom of heaven is near – it is within your grasp today. Tomorrow is promised to no one. Making a decision for Jesus isn’t something we should take lightly, nor is it something that we should wait too long to make. Jesus, the son of God and John the Baptist, the one of whom Jesus says, “there is none on earth greater than him”, preached the same message. “Repent for the kingdom of heaven is near”. So I encourage you to heed these words. Repent and turn to Jesus, because the kingdom of heaven, right now, is within your reach.

As a digital marketer responsible for planning, executing and optimizing campaigns you have a finite amount of “free” time. You are constantly trying to ensure that the objectives of your campaign are met, and you are delivering value to the business. Some days it probably feels like you have very little time to breathe, let alone think about the strategic direction of your organization.
So, when you see announcements or articles in the marketing trade press about news regarding digital analytics, marketing technology or advertising technology it’s likely impossible to keep up. Even more so because digital analytics and marketing technology are two of the fastest growing industries in marketing today. You probably would love to learn more about how these data and tools could be used to help further your business objectives, but there is simply no time.
That’s why our team of experts is releasing weekly recaps to keep you up to speed. Here’s what we’re watching this week.
- Facebook Releases Their Own First Party Cookie: Among the fervor around protecting user’s data and privacy has been the quickly declining use of third party cookies – cookies that collect user’s data which are not connected to the host site’s domain. So, it’s logical that publishers are setting up their own first party cookies, just as Facebook announced last week. This follows an industry trend that I wrote about back in September when Amazon announced a tracking pixel and Facebook opened their tracking pixel to Facebook Groups. We expect to see more of these announcements and are already working with clients to explore the best way to manage them all.
- German Media Alliance Creating New Privacy Product: Just as the publishing giants like Facebook and Google are trying to maintain more data within their walled gardens, a group of 20 German media firms have combined to introduce a new product to wrestle that data back. The product would give a unified login for customers and allow them to easily control all their privacy settings. It’s a novel idea that, if executed well, could provide a much better user experience. However, this is also a direct attempt maintain control of user data given the disappearance of third party cookies.
- Sales Tech Ecosystem Evolving Similar to Marketing Tech: Inevitable to any conversation about Marketing Technology is the appearance of Scott Brinker’s infographic depicting all 6,829 Marketing Technology vendors. Similar, but smaller, is Nancy Nardin’s new infographic featuring 600 Sales Technology vendors. While the sales space may pale in comparison to the chaotic landscape of Marketing Tech, it’s still a lot to handle. At W2O we take care to make sure our clients are using the best possible vendors for their needs.
- Adobe and YouTube Both Announce New TV Features for Marketers: We’re always keeping a keen eye on the quickly changing TV space. Whether it’s newer connected TV or traditional linear TV, there has been a lot of innovation announced lately to help marketers better target and measure their TV advertisements. These are not always revolutionary features but incremental ones that are quickly making TV a more attractive and effective part of the marketing mix.
Those are the four pieces of news we are watching closely this week. Watch this space weekly as we’ll continue to keep you updated on digital analytics and marketing technology trends.

More than a year after a crash that claimed the life of Sewell resident Jenita Noel, the diver of the vehicle has been indicted by a Gloucester County grand jury.
Karon Blanton, 33, of Woodbury, is charged with vehicular homicide; drunken driving with a suspended license causing an accident and death; and assault by auto, all from a single-car crash just before 1 a.m. on Sept. 17, 2011 that caused Noel’s death.
Noel was flung from a 2004 Chevy Impala when Blanton lost control of the vehicle and slammed into a wall while traveling on I-295 in West Deptford. Noel was pronounced dead after being flown to Cooper Trauma Center in Camden.
The two other passengers in the car were transported by ambulance to Cooper, but did not sustain any serious injuries.
Blanton, who was uninjured, was held in the Gloucester County Jail on $250,000 full cash bail following the crash.

Jack E. Jones
Jack Edwin Jones, 73, was born July 15, 1941 in Twin Falls, Idaho, to Wilbur E. and Millie Foster Jones. He was the middle child, with two older sisters and two younger brothers.
The Jones family, hearing of opportunity in the Columbia Basin, relocated to Quincy in 1954. Jack participated in many school activities in addition to assisting his family on the new farm. He graduated from Quincy High School in 1959. Jack subsequently attended school in Yakima before returning home to the family farm.
The potato industry was a big part of the Jones family’s agricultural interests. Jack worked with his dad growing and packing potatoes from their Winchester location. He had supervisory responsibilities over the packing shed from 1966 to 1969.
Jack married Patricia Flanagan in 1969 and embarked on a farming partnership with his father-in-law, Sid Flanagan. The growing of forages for their feed lot and production of sugar beets were predominant responsibilities at the time. Jack eventually purchased the business from Sid and also rejoined Jones Produce with his brothers Mike and Larry in 1983. Jack and Mike continued to oversee their “Flag Ship” operation of Jones Produce to this day, including its longtime association with Progressive Produce. Though potatoes were the dominant row crop in Jack’s farming rotation, he also took pride in growing beans, peas, corn and alfalfa, among other crops. Along the way, durable relationships were forged with Quincy Farm Chemicals, Central Bean and Quincy Foods.
Jack subsequently became interested in tree fruit and planted his first apple orchard in the early 1980s. He expanded into cherries and pears and continued to pursue opportunities in the fruit industry throughout his career. He developed enjoyable relationships with Orondo Fruit, Washington Cherry Growers and Domex Super Fresh Growers.
Always looking for new challenges, Jack entered the world of viticulture in 1997. He designed and planted various “red” vineyards in the Wahluke Slope Appalachia. He also went on to establish “white” vineyards in and around the Ancient Lake Appalachia near Quincy. He made many contacts, including lasting friendships within the Chateau Ste Michelle Wine Estates family of companies.
It was clear to Jack, that with such quality estate grapes available, he should create a start-up boutique winery. Thus, in 2001 Jones of Washington was born. It released its first wine, a 2001 Merlot in 2003. Jones of Washington now offers over 15 different varietals annually and is currently available in 14 states plus the District of Columbia. Jack’s efforts were recognized in 2012 when Jones of Washington was selected as the Washington State Winery of the Year out of nearly 700 operating wineries.
Jack was really pleased with the wine industry’s response to Washington wine. Therefore, it only made sense that he start a grape-crushing plant near the Sentinel Gap in Mattawa. He was a founding partner, with Shaw Vineyards, of J&S Crushing, established in 2008. Jack thoroughly enjoyed the beauty of the mighty Columbia River Valley in the autumn of each year during crush season. J&S has since gone on to become one of the largest processors of grapes in the Northwest.
Jack had a passion for farming and was a steward of resources. He was a true entrepreneur who relished taking on new projects. He wasn’t afraid of making a mistake. When he did, he learned from it and moved on. Jack always believed there was no better place to farm than the Columbia Basin. He cherished the freedom and opportunity that came with living in this great land.
Survivors include his four children, Jeff (Rose) Jones and Greg (Darby) Jones of Quincy and Maureen Jones and Megan Jones of Wenatchee, and his four grandchildren, Laurel, Bridget, Abe, and Kate.
Though he could be a “growly bear” at times, he wanted to do what was just, fair and right, and that is exactly how he treated his family, friends and co-workers. Jack will be greatly missed.
A memorial service for Jack Jones will be held at Eastmont Baptist Church, 400 S. Kentucky Ave. in East Wenatchee. Service time is 11 a.m. Friday, March 27, 2015. A reception will follow at the Pybus Market at 7 N. Worthen St. in Wenatchee. In lieu of flowers, we request that you make a donation to the Jack E. Jones Memorial Scholarship Fund, created at Columbia Basin Foundation, 234 1st Ave. N.W., Suite B, Ephrata, WA, 98823. Please mark Jack E. Jones Scholarship on your check.

We all remember where we were on the morning of September 11, 2001.READ MORE: Suffolk County Officials Urge Residents To Check Out 'Smart 911' App To Help Emergency Responders Save Lives
I was working for another radio station and was driving up to Lake Placid to cover New York Islanders training camp. As I passed the exit for Albany on the New York State Thruway, I heard about the first plane smashing into the North Tower of the World Trade Center.
Our world changed forever.
A short time later, I was sitting in the 1980 Arena watching the Islanders practice when something dawned on me. Here I was, sitting in a building where one of the greatest moments in United States history occurred on what was the absolute worst day in American history.
The heroics of Jim Craig or Mike Eruzione didn’t seem to matter much that day.
The Jets were getting ready to play the Raiders in Oakland. It was a Tuesday so the Jets were off, but players showed up if they wanted to work out.
“I remember that day vividly,” said former Jets center Kevin Mawae. “We got a phone call that a plane crashed into the (World Trade Center). It was a somber day for everybody. I remember sitting in Weeb Ewbank Hall (at Hofstra) and watching television when the towers collapsed. It was a moment that you never forget.”
The NFL was leaning towards going forward with Week 2, but that did not sit well with the Jets.
“We took a vote as a team that we would forfeit that game against the Raiders if they made us play,” said Mawae. “I think it set the tone for the rest of the teams around the league.”
In the end, Week 2 was rescheduled as Week 17, setting the scene for John Hall’s game winning field goal in Oakland that sent the Jets into the playoffs.
On Sunday night, the Jets will host the Cowboys at MetLife Stadium on the tenth anniversary of the 9/11 attacks. The Jets will join the NFL and the nation as they honor, remember, and reunite with special ceremonies throughout the night.
“September 11, 2001 was a tragic day our nation will never forget,” said Jets Chairman and CEO Woody Johnson. “The New York Jets are honored to commemorate the 10-year anniversary, remembering those who were lost, those they left behind and all those who became heroes that day. We are proud to join with our fellow countrymen and women to reunite as the greatest nation in the world.”
Each fan that attends Sunday night’s game will receive an American Flag. As part of pre-game ceremonies, taps will be streamed live into the stadium with the backdrop of the World Trade Center site. Also, bagpipers from the FDNY, NYPD, and PAPD will before Amazing Grace on the field.
Grammy winner and New York native Mary J. Blige will perform the National Anthem. Then, children of first responders will serve as honorary captains for the Jets.
At halftime, the stadium lights will be turned off and the Jets will ask fans to stay in the seats for an emotional tribute. The ceremony will start when Academy Award-winning actor and New York native Robert De Niro narrates a powerful moment created by family members of 9/11 represented by Tuesday’s Children.
Then, Five For Fighting will perform an acoustic, piano version of “Superman.” The song became an anthem for many people after the attacks after a version was performed at “The Concern For New York city” in October 2001.
“As it was 10 years ago, it is an honor to pay tribute to those Americans who showed immeasurable courage during and after the attacks of 9/11,” said Ondraski. “We can never forget the families who lost loved ones and may we find strength in the memory of New York City’s heroes.”
Fans will be able to make a $10 donation to the 9/11 Memorial and Museum throughout the game by texting “HOPE” to 80088. The players and coaches will be wearing FDNY and NYPD hats on the sidelines during the game. They will be available for purchase at jetsshop.com for $15 with 100% of the proceeds from sales donated to the 9/11 Memorial and Museum.READ MORE: Ribbon Cutting Marks Official Opening Of NYC's Newest Pride Health Center In The Bronx
9/11 will always be a day etched in our memories.
Jets head coach Rex Ryan was working for the Ravens on 9/11. That morning, he was walking past the office of Pat Moriarty, a Ravens employee that handled all of the team’s contracts.
“He’s like “Oh my goodness”, said Ryan. “I looked in there and we were getting ready to practice and so I’m watching it, and right when I was watching, the other plane hit the second tower. I was like, “Oh my goodness.” So that’s what I remember, and I was thinking about my cousin who (was) a New York City fireman and all that. So I had a lot of thoughts about those times.”
As it turns out, Ryan’s cousin, Matthew Russo, was not at Ground Zero that day.
Many Jets players have vivid memories of 9/11. Most of them were still in high school or college at the time.
Center Nick Mangold was a senior at Archbishop Alter High School in Kettering, Ohio and was sitting in math class when the attacks began.
“It was one of those things where you really didn’t know what was going on,” said Mangold. “It was just an amazing tragedy. You couldn’t really wrap your mind around it. It was a crazy time for all of us.”
Safety Eric Smith was a freshman at Michigan State in 2001. On the morning of 9/11, he was walking from class to his dorm room.
“They had it on television (in the dorms) and everyone was watching it,” recalled Smith. “It took me a minute to figure out what was going on but it was unbelievable.”
Cornerback Antonio Cromartie was getting ready to go his football class at Lincoln High School in Tallahassee, Florida when he learned about the events of that morning.
“I didn’t know what to think,” said Cromartie. “When someone said something about it, I thought somebody was (joking). Then we went down to our locker rooms and it was on TV. “
Last week, the Jets paid a visit to Ground Zero when they held their Kickoff Luncheon in Lower Manhattan. It was an experience that they’ll never forget.
“It was special,” said running back LaDainian Tomlinson. “Because I think for a guy like me who was on the West Coast at the time, I really didn’t get a chance to see it up close. When you go there, there’s a certain aura that you have when you stand there and you just imagine that day and just the chaos and everything that so many families and people went through.”
As for the game on Sunday night, Ryan is part of two storylines. First, he’ll be looking across the field at his brother Rob, who is the defensive coordinator of the Cowboys. Second, he wants to win the game for New York on what will be a very emotional night.
“Usually, it’s (going) against my brother and all that and you have a lot of fun with that,” said Ryan. “But obviously I feel (like) it’s different, like a responsibility. The significance of it, I think it’s stronger than any game I’ve ever felt. I feel more pressure on this game for whatever reason than any game I’ve ever coached. I know it’s football and we’re not talking about life or death or anything like that, but I don’t know, that’s kind of how I’m taking it.”
The Yankees’ run to the 2001 World Series didn’t bring back any lives or make people forget about the events of 9/11, but it did provide many with an escape of sorts from what was going on. Also, Mike Piazza’s dramatic home run against the Braves in the first game after the attacks was one of the greatest moments in New York sports history.
On Sunday night, the Jets, just like the Giants, will try to accomplish in Washington earlier in the day, hope to give their fans something to smile about on the anniversary of a horrible tragedy that, I think, we are all still trying to figure out.
A win over the Cowboys isn’t a life or death matter, but it would be a nice way to put the wraps on a very emotional day.MORE NEWS: Fake Fire Chief Scams Business In Rye With Bogus Inspection, Fee; 'It's Something That Everyone Should Be Looking Out For'

For all the benefits of free music, something celebrated here on Disquiet.com almost daily, it’s hard not to read some free offerings as a reflection on relative cultural status. The Grammy Awards, in its not uncontroversial recent revamp, finally added a video-game-score category, while doing away with numerous other genre-specific awards (the latter move having many calling foul). Yet it’s not like these scores are doing particularly big business — at least not as recorded standalone fixed artifacts. As part of the ensemble creativity that goes into video games, they are an essential and largely overlooked component of interactive media. But when a property like Bioshock puts its full score online for free, as it did back in 2007, and as now Portal 2 has also done, it’s hard not to sense that the companies doing so know that the artifacts are just that, shards of experience.
A formal game score release is as much a parody of a movie score as it is a parallel. Music in video games by and large doesn’t progress the way it does in a film — it shifts according to how the game play proceeds, and that is based almost entirely on decisions made by the player. Thus, the game score lacks not just the visuals, but the sense of user-directed flow, the manner in which play directs causality.
To listen to the Portal 2 score if you’ve played the game is, among other things, to laugh, to know the jokes that the cues coincide with, but also to know more broadly how the theatrical bombast and surveillance chic collide into an unlikely and singular form of entertainment. There’s much to enjoy in the Portal 2 score collection, titled Music to Test By, even if you haven’t played the game, but it is even further removed from the experience of the game than is a movie score. If the score to Star Wars is once removed from the experience of the theatergoer, the score to Halo is twice removed from the experience of the gamer. Music fans have not yet fully recognized the appeal of video-game music, but even video-game music fans have yet to fully comprehend what that music means when separated from the games it was intended to accompany.
The score is available, along with a handful of Android- and iPhone-ready ringtones, for free download at the official Portal 2 site, thinkwithportals.com.

Knox County Schools Superintendent Jim McIntrye calls his proposal to add $35 million to the school budget each of the next five years a bold move. I call it a sensible move that is long overdue.
During a discussion of the proposal at a work session on Monday, members of the Knox County School Board were positive.
Perhaps board member Gloria Deathridge said it best: "The community and everybody is going to have to understand that this is not something that we just want to do, it's going to be something we have to do."
Yes, have to do. The reasons are simple.
McIntyre said the plan is necessary simply because the district needs to improve instruction and technology. He laid out some specifics. Of freshmen who enter high school, only 38 percent graduate with a diploma and a score of 21 or better on the ACT. A mere 19 percent of the Class of 2011 met all four ACT benchmarks of college readiness.
As telling, if not more so, McIntyre notes that only 47 percent of third-graders are proficient or advanced in reading and language arts. And there are achievement gaps defined by income, race, disability and language that are showing up throughout the district.
McIntyre has specified seven areas that will see the money in 2013: instructional technology, expanded performance pay, more instruction time, enhanced instructional support for teachers, student supports (interventions and enrichments), consistently excellent magnet schools, support for community schools and full-day kindergarten.
The current budget is $384.67 million. The proposal would add $35 million each of the next five years in areas that would improve student outcomes and achievements. In 2013, $7 million would go into the operating budget and $28 million into capital improvements and technology, including a systemwide infrastructure.
The school budget is two-thirds of the county's overall budget. County Mayor Tim Burchett has said McIntyre's proposal can't be achieved without a property tax increase and that he will not ask for a property tax increase. County Commission Chairman Mike Hammond has adopted a wait-and-see attitude.
Based on figures collected by the U.S. Census Bureau, in 2009 Tennessee ranked No. 47 in how much money was spent on K-12 education. And in school year 2009-10, based on figures collected by the Tennessee Education Association, out of the 131 school systems in the state, Knox County ranked 53 in expenses per pupil.
Stop and think about that: The third-largest county in the state is outspent by 52 other school systems in per-pupil expenditures. The people of Knox County should be ashamed.
Combine that with the state's pitifully low ranking in education spending, and we should glad that it's Lent, a time when we are encouraged to confess our sins and ask forgiveness, because we as a people have much to be forgiven for when it comes to providing an adequate education to our children.
McIntyre will lead a public hearing at 6 p.m. March 29 at Fulton High School about the budget proposal. I encourage as many of you who possibly can to attend. A full, detailed budget will be presented to the School Board in April.
In the meantime, the board members have appointed themselves ambassadors to the public, and I would dare say, the commissioners. It'll take only a 35-cent property tax hike. My guess is the public will be an easier sell than the commissioners. But if the commissioners are the least bit honest about what we really need when it comes to economic development in our community, they'll pay attention to the School Board's arguments for the need.
Need Help? Call us at 1-877-304-7769.

Cooking has become a huge part of my life, something my younger self would have never believed. I am a Midwestern child of the 80s & women’s independence movement.
My 16-year old self used to say things like, “I’ll live in New York City, work for a big ad agency, wear a new dress to every party, and if a man ever asks me to cook I’ll leave him the phone number for pizza delivery and walk out the door.”
Oh, how things have changed! I mean, I did work at an ad agency in NYC in my early 20’s with a pretty awesome collection of dresses. But only a few short years later I had moved to the other coast, to San Francisco. Now I am the CEO of a gaming company, wear jeans everywhere, and love cooking for myself, my husband, and my friends.
Learning to cook started as a quest in my late-20s to liven up my boring dinners. I quickly realized that the quality of ingredients were just as important (or more important) than the recipes themselves. So I started an organic garden, focusing on heirlooms that provide the best flavor.
I’m sharing what I’ve learned in the kitchen, in the garden, from the farmers and the vineyards.
And I’m hoping learn a lot from you too!
What kind of recipes will you find?
I cook healthy, well-rounded meals, with seasonal ingredients 90% of the time. I research (and taste) a lot of ingredients to build dishes with complimentary flavors and share them when the ingredients are in season.
I focus on nutrition as a tool for creating (and modifying) recipes to get the most out of each meal. For example, a serving of kale provides over 100% of your daily Vitamin A and C, whereas a serving of arugula is less than 5% (arugula still has a lot of other nutritious value). Sometimes arugula is irreplaceable for flavor in a dish, so I use it, but I do so knowing I might want to add a citrus fruit to the salad, or have citrus for breakfast to make up for the missing nutrients.
While I love using this data for recipe development, I don’t want you to think I obsess over every meal and never post the indulgent things. It’s good for the soul to indulge, as my friends can attest that I never turn away a dessert. I love making a good baked mac & cheese or German chocolate cake. I’ll share those too. And sometimes I can’t help but add a not-so-healthy thing to relatively healthy dish because it just tastes wonderful. For example, I have a really nutritious kale & chicken Caesar salad… but sometimes I buy a corn muffin and crumble it over the salad. So why not share both versions with you? We’re all adults, we can all choose our own dinners.
I don’t adhere to any particular diet. I eat meat but try to make sure at least 2-3 days are vegetarian. I keep carbs low (but not absurdly low) for most meals. I definitely cut down added sugar to a minimum when possible, but insist on using it when it adds the right touch to a dish (and of course, dessert).
I also share links to my sources for inspiration for each recipe. I would feel like a fraud pretending I came up with a recipe all on my own. Even if I modify it, or only use part of it, I’ll still explain what I liked about their version and encourage you to check it out. You never know, maybe the version someone else posted appeals to you more than mine. And that’s really awesome if I can help you find the recipe right for you! There are so many talented bloggers and cookbook authors out there who deserve more than a tiny link that barely gets noticed. I believe in supporting other people’s work. And I also hope it encourages you to experiment with recipes too!
And if you use my recipe, modify it, and love it, please leave a comment and let me know! Recipes are always changing with new ideas, or adapted with seasonal ingredients. I want to hear from you and have it shared with everyone else!

SACRAMENTO, Calif. - California Senate lawmakers passed a bill that bans the use of long-term solitary confinement in prisons, jails, and private detention centers.
Under the California Mandela Act, AB 2632, solitary confinement is limited to no more than 15 consecutive days and no more than 45 days in a six-month period.
The bill also bans solitary confinement entirely for people who are pregnant, disabled, and under the age of 25 or over 65.
Advocates say solitary confinement is inhumane and several other states have already banned or scaled back its use, including New York, New Jersey, and Nebraska, according to the American Civil Liberties Union.
Assemblyman Chris Holden, D-Pasadena, who introduced the bill in February, previously called solitary confinement "cruel and a racial justice issue that does nothing for the rehabilitation of a person."
"Not only is it deemed as cruel and unusual punishment by the United Nations, but it deeply damages the psyche of a person," Holden said, according to the Sacramento Bee.
Some law enforcement leaders said getting rid of that option would cause safety issues in prisons and jails.

It is necessary to have proper motivation in order to succeed at quitting smoking. When you finally quit, you will benefit in many ways. One or more of them will surely be enough to spur you on when it gets difficult. It comes with great health, financial and emotional benefits. Keep reading to stop smoking.
Nicotine replacement therapies can be a very effective method of quitting smoking. This has been shown to give you twice as good a chance of quitting smoking when you use it along with behavior change therapy. You can try nicotine lozenges, gum or patches. Follow the directions to not smoke while using these products.
If you’re trying to quit, it’s key to think of the challenges you’ll face after quitting. It’s the first days, weeks and months which are the hardest to stay on course. Are you often tempted to smoke when stressed? Keep all of your triggers in mind and avoid them.
The best way to stop smoking is to quit today. Just quit right now. Don’t schedule a day to quit further down the line. The more you smoke, the higher chance you will have of catching a disease, due to smoking. This also alleviates the risks of secondhand smoke, to your family and their health. This is major reason to quit, as well.
If you want to give in to a craving, put it off as long as possible. To help you postpone your cigarette as long as possible, consider taking a walk or enjoying a some water before smoking. You may find that delaying your next cigarette a little bit will reduce your cravings. Even if you ultimately do smoke, delaying may still reduce the total number of cigarettes you have in a day.
Obtain the support of your loved ones in helping you quit smoking. Let them know that you need that kind of support and that there is no need to be judged by them. Also, warn them that you may be bad-tempered in the beginning and that your judgment may be somewhat cloudy. Kicking the smoking habit may be the most difficult thing you have ever done, and the support of friends and family is critical.
You have to keep at it to quit the habit. Never forget what keeps you motivated the most, and you’ll have the best chance to succeed in following through. Remember to follow the good advice you just read, and you will be on your way to getting rid of this habit for good.
