Support and Comfort
Comfort and support are two of the biggest aspects when looking to buy a new mattress.
There are a number of things which should take place when you lie down.
For one, you want the contour and sinkage to be correct, for proper spine alignment.
You will want adequate support while you sleep through out the night.
Having proper body alignment is critical while you sleep.
This is necessary to be sure you receive a healthy rest, and to make sure you’re reducing your neck and back pain.
A mattress also should be a good source of stress relief, along with supporting your body.
Stress points are a huge factor when it comes to restless sleep.
Memory Foam mattresses have earned their way into the spotlight, by not only being comfortable, but as equally supportive. Best Mattress For Couples With Different Preferences
Should You Choose Firm or Soft?
This is pretty much the same as when we talk about comfort and support.
Just like a mattress shouldn’t be too hard, it should never be too soft.
A mattress should be as neutral as it can be, to ensure both your body and spine stay in a neutral position.
A mattress that is too firm can not only restrict blood flow, but can also cause pinched nerves.
If you find that a lot of the times you awake, with the sensation of having pins and needles in your body, this is a sign of a mattress that is too rigid.
Then you have the issue of a mattress too soft, which creates a sagging effect.
This is going to cause back pain, because your spine isn’t properly aligned.
This is why it’s imperative to find a mattress that is close to neutral.
You’re looking a mattress that’s soft in the right spots, but not too soft overall.
You likewise want a mattress that has some firmness to it; just not too rigid. Best Mattress For Couples With Different Preferences
One of the most commonly missed over attributes of a mattress is the breathability or fever neutrality of the mattress material.
The best thing that memory foam has going for them, is their ability to conform to your body.
However, foam mattresses have been known to create ‘the oven result’, when their layers start to diminish.
Which essentially just means your body heat gets caught inside the mattress, causing you to sleep hot.
The good news is, with advanced technology, most mattress brands have a way to prevent this.
Mattress companies want their design to sleep cool, but also provide warmth where it should, and also provide breathability.
Some companies do a much better job at this, than a number of their competitors. Best Mattress For Couples With Different Preferences
It’s not a huge surprise, that if you’re in the market for a high quality mattress, it normally comes with a nice price tag.
Since a mattress is a big investment, you certainly want to find one that will last for years to come.
You’ll want a mattress that uses premium materials and advanced technologies, with the goal of finding a mattress that can last you a lifetime.
When shopping for a mattress, pay close attention to the warranty. Your goal should be finding a brand with at least a standard 10 year warranty. Best Mattress For Couples With Different Preferences

CAB Staff Face Redundancy
7:05am 30th January 2013
Staff at a charity helping some of Cornwall's financially worst hit are getting redundancy notices.
Citizens Advice admits the majority of paid workers will get them.
It has ten offices stretching from Bude to Saltash and Penzance.
The news comes a day after the council decided to make the Duchy's poorest pay hundreds of pounds more in council tax.
Sue Swift is chair of the Cornwall CAB Trust Board. In a statement she said: "The ending of Legal Services Commission (LSC) funding for most benefits, debt, housing and employment cases will inevitably impact our ability to offer specialist casework in these crucial areas.
"We recognise that this is an extremely worrying time for staff ,and we are working with them and our partners to keep any job losses to a minimum.
"We are grateful to them and to our voluntary staff for maintaining services to clients despite the uncertainty."
It is understood a reduced number of posts will be available and staff will be able to apply for one of these.
Yesterday the council approved a plan to force people receiving council tax benefits in Cornwall to pay at least 25% of the bill.
Ironically, councillors approved a plan to give CAB £150,000 to help provide advice and support for those now facing bills of hundreds of pounds a year.
"We are facing a very difficult decision and need to act now to avoid leaving the new Council with an unmanageable black hole" said Council Leader Jim Currie. "Using council tax payers' money to maintain the current level of council tax support would mean Cornwall Council was subsidising the national welfare system. With further cuts expected in our funding from the Government in the coming years and increasing demand on our services, we would have no choice but to cut frontline services."
A plan to cut the amount the council spends on consultants and temporary staff by £4.2m was rejected.7:05am 30th January 2013

Ultimate Decision: Part Eight
The Darkest Faerie stood, tall and silent, in the center of the Hall of Heroes. After everything that had happened to Renelle, this overshadowed all. Here she was: the faerie of pure evil, standing at last in her physical form in all of its terrible glory, and it was all because of Renelle. The Aisha’s mind was reeling, but it still could not grasp the magnitude of the situation.
The slender faerie’s eyes took in every detail of the room as she turned her head slowly. Her long, deep blue dress fell around her feet, and her jet black hair lay limply in the still room as the Darkest Faerie surveyed the statues of her fellow Protectors. Renelle could not take her eyes off of the pale, cold lavender skin and the lidded eyes that threatened to destroy upon contact. But the faerie did not seem to notice Renelle; even when she spoke, it appeared to be to herself.
“My little sleeping beauties,” she breathed in a voice that chilled Renelle to the bone. A long nailed finger brushed against King Altador’s stone beard. No smile crossed her lips, but the faerie seemed to be enjoying every second of her newfound freedom, walking slowly around the room and staring intently at each sculpture.
Renelle felt useless, standing off to the side. She had been so afraid of getting in trouble, of admitting that she had broken the amulet, and she had been so worried about the consequences that she would receive if her acts were discovered. But now, Renelle realized that the alternative she herself had created was far worse; she had helped the Darkest Faerie every step of the way, and now the faerie was free and uncontrollable. The kingdom and its protectors were asleep, and the Darkest Faerie was free to do as she chose.
Renelle felt numb. She had chosen this fate, and now it was her duty to make things right. She had thought that the spell would be broken when all Twelve Protectors were bound to their statues, but the words of the Darkest Faerie had been a lie. Still, there must be something... she must convince the faerie to set the others free....
“You have to heal them now.” The red Aisha’s voice sounded small and afraid, and she shrunk further into the shadows when the Darkest Faerie turned to stare at her.
“Do I?” she asked coldly, finally acknowledging Renelle. The lidded eyes flitted toward the arched windows, where outside the land was dark and silent. “Perhaps I will just let the kingdom sleep forever, as they had so happily done to me.”
“You cannot rule over a sleeping kingdom,” said Renelle, hoping to appeal to the faerie’s greed. Her words felt useless compared to the power of the Darkest Faerie, and Renelle found herself sinking into despair.
“No,” said the faerie, unmoving in the middle of the floor. “Perhaps not. An eternal sleep is too kind, I feel, for such as these.” She glanced at Jerdana’s statue. “No, they deserve to see my rise to power in all its glory. They must be conscious and wide awake, so that I can personally guarantee that each and every one of them does not see another sunrise.” A hint of a smile creased the faerie’s face. “Yes, they shall be healed. And the kingdom shall awaken to witness their downfall, and to serve me as their new Queen.”
The Darkest Faerie drifted over to the nearest statue: Kelland, the Thief. She bent down to pick up the broken piece of stone that Renelle had cut from the statue, and fitted it back into its place on the sculpture. The Aisha watched as the faerie closed her eyes and let out a deep sigh, and she watched as the stone melted back and the statue became whole, and she watched as the form of a Techo slowly stepped out of the statue and into the Hall, groaning in the pain and confusion of coming into physical being.
Renelle was beyond any surprise or hope. She could only watch from the shadows as the Darkest Faerie went in turn to each statue, repairing them with her powerful magic. She was silent as she saw each of the Protectors emerge once more into physical being, confused and dazed as the faerie herself had been a few moments ago.
But when only two statues remained, the Darkest Faerie stopped. Nine of the Protectors stood unsteadily next to their statues, still unable to act, but the faerie turned to Renelle and said, “What have you done with the fragments of Altador and Jerdana?”
Renelle could not speak; she merely extended her right hand, which still clutched the piece of stone that she now realized was King Altador’s heel. With her left, she reached into her pocket and removed the fragment of Jerdana’s statue, which she offered to the faerie helplessly. The fingers of the Darkest Faerie were cold as they snatched the pieces silently, and Renelle withdrew her hands as soon as the stones were taken.
The Darkest Faerie made quick work of the final statues, and as soon as King Altador stepped unsteadily into physical being, the warm light on the horizon appeared once more. The sun was just beginning to rise, and Renelle watched from the corner of the room as the newly freed Protectors gained consciousness.
“What’s going on here?” asked Kelland, the first to recover sufficiently enough to speak.
“We have all been freed,” said the Darkest Faerie, her voice commanding the attention of the entire room. “We are together once more, for the last time.” The eyes of all were glued to her powerful presence; nobody noticed the maid in the shadows.
“What have you done?” asked Jerdana, as the Protectors began to grasp the situation.
“I have freed you all from the bounds of your statues,” announced the Darkest Faerie, “so that you all may witness my rise to power at last. For a thousand years you imprisoned me, but the kingdom that is rightfully mine shall finally be taken.”
“No!” cried Fauna.
“Yes,” said the faerie. “You are powerless to stop me. My dark magic is more than a match for any of you. I will see to it that each of you will be destroyed forever, and there will be no statues in which your spirits can take refuge!”
“How have you done this?” bellowed King Altador, stepping forward with his sword drawn. The others had all fully recovered, and were staring in awe at the figure in their center. “How have you escaped your enchantment!”
In answer, the Darkest Faerie let out a wild cackle that echoed throughout the chamber, bouncing off the walls and filling the room with its menace. The faerie turned to face Renelle, and the eyes of the other eleven Protectors followed. “Her,” hissed the Darkest Faerie, and the Aisha felt as if she had been turned to stone.
Everyone in the room stared at Renelle, their mouths slightly open in surprise, their eyes wide as they took in every detail of the red Aisha in her patched purple dress and wrinkled apron. Renelle tried not to meet their eyes, but she found herself staring directly into the kind but shocked gaze of Jerdana. “It...” began the blue Aisha, her voice soft but clearly audible in the silence, “...it was you?” and as soon as Renelle heard those words she knew that Jerdana had not forgotten her polite “Good evening”, nor the face of the maid who had been cleaning the hallway the night her amulet had been stolen.
Renelle had been avoiding this moment for days, but now there was no escape. With the guilt and the regret of everything she had done, every decision she had made, Renelle opened her dry mouth and whispered, “Yes.”
King Altador stepped forward, his eyebrows angled down and his jaw set. “What have you done?” he asked, and then turned to Jerdana. “Has she been behind it all? Everything?”
Instead of answering, Jerdana turned to Renelle, and the Aisha knew that she had to explain herself. But as she thought of what she had done, she realized that there was no way to tell the story that would take any of the blame off of her; it rested squarely on her small shoulders, and now she had to tell them everything.
“I’m sorry,” she whispered, but the Aisha knew that she had to continue. “I snuck into your room to find something to sell on the black market; just jewelry, or some kind of valuable, just something to make some neopoints so I could live a comfortable life. I didn’t mean to hurt anyone, but when I left the castle I fell and the amulet broke. And then someone broke King Altador’s statue, and I was in the Hall of Heroes, and I heard the Darkest Faerie whisper that if I destroyed all of the statues the spell that kept you all trapped would be broken, so I did, and... and....”
“And she released me,” said the Darkest Faerie in her icy voice. “She could not have served me better if she had taken directions from me step by step.” The faerie laughed. “And now, because of your weak and foolish servant, you will all be destroyed.” She raised her hands, and Renelle watched in horror as flames appeared around her fingers, flickering and burning brightly as they grew.
“Stop!” cried Jerdana, raising her hand and unleashing a shower of pale blue sparks at the Darkest Faerie. The fire around her hands went out.
“Is this how you want it to be, then?” asked the Darkest Faerie, taking a step toward the blue Aisha.
“No,” said Jerdana. Her voice maintained its kind tone, but it was powerful and determined. “But if this is the way it must happen, so be it.” She turned to her fellow protectors. “Stand back,” said Jerdana. “If you try to fight her it will only interfere with my magic.”
“Yes,” hissed the Darkest Faerie. “Stay back, and watch as your precious Protector is vanquished. And one by one, I will dispose of you all.” She raised her hands to the ceiling and a terrible red fire consumed her body, burning brightly in the darkness of the Hall of Heroes.
“Stand back!” yelled King Altador. “Do not interfere!” The rest of the Protectors backed away toward the walls, leaving Jerdana and the Darkest Faerie alone in the center of the ring of statues.
“You will never control this kingdom,” said Jerdana as a blue light encircled her.
“Words are unnecessary,” said the Darkest Faerie as the fire around her grew. “The outcome will be decided by power, and nothing you can say will affect that.” With a cackle, she unleashed a blast of flame at Jerdana, who closed her eyes and lifted her arms. The flames licked the boundaries of the blue light but did not penetrate the pale glow of the shield.
Renelle was still standing in the shadows near the door, and she had allowed herself to sink into a state of hopelessness. She had been discovered at last, and now she had been discarded. Everything she had done and feared and decided had come down to this, but even her pain and desperation only led her to the sidelines. She could do nothing now, except weep for the future that she had ruined and watch as the battle progressed, knowing that no matter what happened she was doomed.
She was falling, falling down through a pit of blackness, falling further and further down. She should have hit bottom by now. She had confessed and had done the worst thing that she ever had imagined, but still the sudden stop eluded her, and she fell and fell and fell through the darkness, and she could no longer see the circle of light above her, only the pitch blackness of the well as she tumbled through misery and despair toward the cracked amulet below. Renelle was falling, falling, falling, but there was still more, still further to fall, she still had not hit the bottom of the dry well, she still had not joined the amulet in the final depths of hopelessness.
...But, perhaps... perhaps then, there was still a chance. If the depths of hopelessness were still further down, perhaps Renelle could still climb out. She was falling through the blackness of the dry well, but the rope with the bucket at the end still hung down, if only she could grab it and pull herself to safety. Renelle’s mind reached out, reaching for the rope, reaching for something which might, maybe, be her redemption. She was falling, but had not yet landed. The amulet was broken, but...
Red and blue flashed through the room, and Renelle stood up. There was still a chance. She watched carefully each and every one of the Protectors, but all eyes were fixed upon the battle that was taking place inside the ring of statues. Yes, there was still a chance. Renelle turned away from the fray and hurried out the arched doorway into the dim light of dawn outside. Still a chance. As she flew down the long flight of steps, Renelle felt her heart pounding, but this time it was not motivated by fear. Now, at last, there was hope. The light was visible, and Renelle knew that if she could just get the amulet, perhaps... perhaps it could be repaired... perhaps there was still hope....
To be continued...

When James Mattis, a distinguished U.S. Marine Corps general, denounces the U.S. president for misusing the nation’s Armed Forces and dangerously dividing the country, Americans should listen.
When other military leaders, retired and active duty, issue statements that either directly or implicitly take positions opposite from those of the commander in chief, Americans should be concerned.
Mattis, who was President Donald Trump’s defense secretary until he resigned in December 2018, does not take military discipline lightly. He left the Trump administration because he disagreed with Trump’s policies, but he did not go public with his opinions. It was important, he said, to keep the military out of politics.
But after Trump has repeatedly used the military for his political purposes, Mattis has spoken out. Trump issued repeated threats to send large numbers of troops to suppress civilian protesters in cities across the U.S. And his administration used troops to force peaceful protesters out of the way so Trump, accompanied by military leaders, could “march” to a church near the White House for a photo op. Those were the last straws for Mattis.
Mattis wrote that protesters have the right to demand “Equal justice under law,” and that all Americans should unite behind their cause. He said that the “small number of lawbreakers” resorting to violence should not distract us from living up to our shared values. Troops, he said, take an oath to support and defend the U.S. Constitution — including the right to peaceful assembly. He blasted Trump for purposely dividing the nation and called on Americans to unite even though we lack “mature leadership.”
Meanwhile, leaders across the armed forces have issued statements denouncing racism within the ranks and reminding those under their command of their duty to uphold the Constitution and to protect and serve all Americans.
Other presidents have deployed troops during domestic crises, but usually the number of troops is small and sent at the request of a state’s governor. It’s alarming to hear Trump talk about using mighty forces to suppress demonstrations.
Trump seems obsessed with the military even as he lacks understanding of its proper role. He has sent the wrong messages by glorifying a few military members who were disciplined for improper actions. He speaks of troops as people who want to kill, while military leaders emphasize their role as a global force for good.
Deploying troops in any significant way to go head to head with civilian protesters would be dangerous for the country and for the armed forces. As Mattis pointed out, the troops are also a part of our society. Most of them are not trained in enforcing the law among their fellow citizens.
With our all-volunteer military, there is already a divide between those who serve and those who have little understanding of their service. Pitting troops against civilians risks undermining the trust Americans need to have in their military. It also risks putting troops in the position of having to decide whether to carry out unlawful orders.
Trump is commander in chief because the framers of the Constitution believed it was important to have elected civilians control our military’s broad policy goals. Otherwise, we run the risk of a military dictatorship. But keeping the military and politics separate has been a key part of that.
When Trump uses the military for his political purposes, he strikes at the heart of our democracy.
Mattis and the other military leaders know that.

‘Far from the madding crowd’s ignoble strife,
Their sober wishes never learn’d to stray;
Along the cool sequester’d vale of life
They kept the noiseless tenor of their way.’
Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard by Thomas Gray, 1751.
Now isn’t this what you call a field of dreams?
Summer should not only be spent lying on the beach, but also walking in wheat fields without a care in the world. As I mentioned in my previous post my friend lives in Northern countryside, which turns out to be heaven on earth – especially when it’s warm, sunny and slightly breezy. It all begs for a photoshoot, non?
And here I am wearing yet another midi skirt, regardless of whether it suits me or not…
|Skirt, Dorothy Perkins (available here). Top, ASOS. Necklace, Accessorize. Hat, borrowed from my friend. Bracelet, gift. Watch, Michael Kors. Shoes, Melissa for Vivienne Westwood.|
The funny thing is that none of these clothes belong to me. I fell in love with my friend’s skirt when I spotted it in her room and knew it would be the perfect complement to such a beautiful backdrop. I’m also sorry to say that there are very few sizes available peeps, my friend bought it at Dorothy Perkin’s summer sale early last month for just £12. I was hoping my size would be available online but alas, it wasn’t meant to be…
My friend very sweetly donated me this top, which she got a while back from ASOS. Do you remember when these vests were having a moment, sometime in 2013 and 2014? I find them ridiculously sexy for some reason (well, they are very much like lingerie) but never got around to finding one that suited me.
I love the skirt’s floral print, it’ so feminine and colourful – exactly what you would want to were when enjoying the countryside.
Once again, I had a beautiful little creature photobomb the photo session – which I’m naturally thrilled about as one can never have too many cute animals in a picture!
There really isn’t much I can say – the pictures speak for themselves. They remind me of a picturesque, not in the slightest nostalgic, end of summer, a truly blissful day, a feeling of peace and quiet… far from the madding crowd. I couldn’t think of a better phrase to describe that feeling – thank you Thomas Hardy.

This recall involves Norwex Ceramic Knives. The knives have a ceramic blade and bamboo handle. The knife measures about eight inches long with a four-inch blade and a four-inch handle. Norwex is printed on the handle.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled ceramic knives and contact Norwex USA for information on how to obtain a free replacement and to request a return kit which includes a pre-paid return shipping label.
The firm has received 188 reports of incidents, including 158 reports of the handle breaking and 30 reports of damage to the knives during shipping. No injuries have been reported.
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is charged with protecting the public from unreasonable risk of injury or death associated with the use of thousands of types of consumer products. Deaths, injuries, and property damage from consumer product-related incidents cost the nation more than $1 trillion annually. CPSC's work to ensure the safety of consumer products has contributed to a decline in the rate of injuries associated with consumer products over the past 50 years.
Federal law prohibits any person from selling products subject to a Commission ordered recall or a voluntary recall undertaken in consultation with the CPSC.

The hedgerow on their 17 acre property sits just on the south side of the Mason Dixon Line. What Kohli wants is a yes man and not a coach. As a three year starter Brown broke Penn State records for career tackles for loss (70), sacks (33) and the season mark for tackles for loss (29).

The nine-day pilgrimage that retraced the highlights of Patrice Lumumba’s life in the Democratic Republic of Congo ended in Kinshasa on Thursday with the burial of his coffin, more than 61 years after his assassination and the same day of the 62nd anniversary of the country’s independence.
The coffin of Patrice Lumumba was buried in Kinshasa on Thursday June 30, the anniversary of the independence of the Democratic Republic of Congo, more than 61 years after his assassination and at the end of a nine-day pilgrimage which retraced the highlights of his life.
During a very solemn ceremony, with all the honors, the President of the DRC Félix Tshisekedi spoke directly to Patrice Lumumba, facing the coffin containing what remains of the remains of the martyr of independence: a tooth, having the value of relic.
“I thank you, Mr. First Prime Minister” of the independent Congo, “our national hero”, he said, after hailing the “merciless fight against colonialism”, the fight “for freedom and independence” led by Lumumba. “May the land of our ancestors be sweet and light to you”.
Shortly after, the coffin was brought to a concrete and glass mausoleum, surmounted by an imposing statue of Lumumba, erected on the avenue that bears his name and leads to Kinshasa’s international airport, at “l’Echangeur of Limete”. The opening to the public of this mausoleum is scheduled for the end of August.
In a room set up nearby, at the foot of “the Echangeur tower” which symbolizes the city of Kinshasa, some twenty Congolese artists have reproduced in their own way the life, vision and political heritage of this hero of the African independence.
“Lumumba carried the weight of the demands and sufferings of the Congolese population against Belgium. The path remained rocky, but he knew how to lead the people to independence”, analyzes the organizer of the exhibition, the artist Franck Dikisongele, in front of a painting showing the hero towing an overflowing cart covered with the flag of the DRC.
“Unfortunately, he also shed his blood,” he adds, continuing the visit.
“Blood and Spirit”
According to historians, it was his virulent speech against the racism of Belgian settlers that made him a legend on June 30, 1960, the day of the proclamation of the independence of the former Belgian Congo.
A speech which also sealed the fate of this nationalist considered a communist by his detractors.
After only 75 days, he was overthrown and, a few months later, assassinated with two companions on January 17, 1961 in Shilatembo, in Haut-Katanga (southeast), by Katangese separatists and Belgian mercenaries.
His body, dissolved in acid, was never found. It took decades to discover that human remains had been kept in Belgium, when a Belgian police officer who participated in the disappearance boasted about it. A tooth that this policeman had in his possession was seized in 2016 by Belgian justice.
The Congolese president was pleased that a burial could finally be offered to the martyr of independence. He thanked the family of Patrice Lumumba, whose children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren were present, but also “the Belgian people and their authorities” for, he said, “having contributed to the restoration of the truth” about Lumumba’s assassination, “after years of denial”.
>> To (re) see: Roland Lumumba on the assassination of his father Patrice: “We are always looking for the truth”
Indeed, estimated Félix Tshisekedi, “it is only after having told the truth, after having established the responsibilities of each other that we can together, Congolese and Belgians, begin the decisive stage of forgiveness, justice and true and final reconciliation”.
After the official return by Belgium to the DRC of Patrice Lumumba’s tooth on June 20, the coffin of the Congolese national hero arrived on the 22nd in the DRC and then transported to Sankuru (center), his native land, in Kisangani (north -est), his political stronghold, then on the place of his torture.
“The funeral is the end of the process. The journey conformed to the practices for the mourning of exceptional leaders like Lumumba”, estimated with AFP the Congolese filmmaker Balufu Kanyinda, organizer of the funeral.
“I live in Sankuru. The blood and the spirit of Lumumba live in me. I am here because his spirit will no longer wander”, declared for his part after the ceremony a young man of 24 years, Didier Shonda, sporting the same hairstyle as Lumumba. “From now on, we know where to recharge our batteries to totally liberate our country and African youth”.
A national mourning that began on Monday ended after the burial of the hero’s remains.

Active Essex are using the power of physical activity to build resilience, connection and wellbeing across all communities in Essex, Southend and Thurrock.
Through the strengthening community’s strategic priority, work has been undertaken to level the playing field and break down barriers to enable more people to be active, especially those facing the greatest inequalities.
Tackling Inequalities in our Communities
Working with the most inactive communities, Active Essex continue to develop physical activity opportunities and deliver behavioural change campaigns to reduce inequalities for the county’s most marginalised groups.
Active Essex’s work to tackle inequalities can be showcased through:
- Essex ActivAte – targeted support for children eligible for benefits based free school meals and low-income families
- Together Fund - supporting ethnically diverse communities, disabled people or those living with a long term health condition and lower socio-economic groups
- Levelling Up – through Essex County Council’s plan for Levelling Up, Active Essex have been able to leverage resources for physical activity initiatives in key Levelling Up areas across the county
- The Essex Local Delivery Pilot – tackling population levels of physical inactivity in the most deprived and isolated communities across Essex
- Behaviour change initiatives and campaigns – inspiring residents to create healthy, long lasting habits through Find Your Active, This Girl Can and Essex All Together
Levelling Up Essex
In January 2022, Essex County Council (ECC) published a white paper setting out the Countywide strategy for levelling up in Essex. In it, ECC identified both the key cohorts and areas that would most benefit from Levelling Up and made significant funding available.
Levelling up is not just about supporting people to succeed individually. It is also about supporting success in all forms that people come together – in families, in communities, in businesses, in faith groups, and in other organisations.
Over the past year, ECC have launched numerous levelling up initiatives, and utilised the strong relationship with the Active Essex team to utilise levelling up funding in order to ensure places and cohorts have been able to access and benefit from taking part in a range of physical activities. Projects that have been supported include; the Essex ActivAte half term programme, Beat the Street, Essex Pedal Power, Park Play, the flyer start and Ready for School programmes and the development of 3 new community hubs in partnership.
As part of this Levelling Up work, Active Essex were invited, alongside Essex Cabinet Members, to a ‘One Year On’ event at the House of Commons, to highlight the success of the physical wellbeing initiatives supported through the funding, and the important role these initiatives have played in strengthening opportunities for our communities.Louise Voyce, Relationship Manager
Through local delivery of Sport England’s Together Fund (previously known as Tackling Inequalities Fund), Active Essex has been able to support community groups and organisations to reach seldom heard communities facing inequalities in activity levels and health across Essex, Southend, and Thurrock. The fund was aimed at residents impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic and cost of living crisis, and Active Essex has now successfully delivered the last of 4 phases of the Together Fund programme.
Essex ActivAte is the free holiday activity and food programme delivered by Active Essex across Essex and Thurrock every school holiday. Funded through the Department for Education and Essex County Council Levelling Up fund, the programme is now in its third year. It’s targeted at engaging and supporting young people and their families who are eligible for benefits based free school meals, with additional discretionary spaces for families on low income, children in care, or at risk.
Essex ActivAte delivers approximately 200 clubs every main school holiday and around 80 clubs during half term. All clubs provide fun, physical and enrichment activities, at least one substantial meal, nutritional information and support for the whole family.
Essex Local Delivery Pilot
In its sixth year, the Active Essex Local Delivery Pilot (LDP) is making headway in tackling physical inactivity in our most deprived communities. Essex is one of 12 pilots chosen by Sport England to test innovative approaches that are genuinely replicable and sustainable. The three test areas of Basildon, Colchester and Tendring have seen initiatives such as Essex Pedal Power scale and replicate, ParkPlay and a successful microgrants programme take place over the past year.
The Microgrants programme has been offering grants of £50 to £2,500 to local people and organisations who have a great idea, a drive, and a passion to help get their communities active. The grant was designed to help enable community groups to easily access funding to implement their ideas.
Great examples of Active Essex LDP system influencing to date are:
- Making physical activity the first public health priority for Basildon and Brentwood
- Levelling up cycling in disadvantaged communities through Essex County Council’s sustainable transport policy
- Mainstreaming physical activity with the adult social care team through the Prevention and Enablement Model
- Working with the Essex Criminal Justice System to demonstrate the role that sport can play in the prevention of youth crime and violence
- The rapid expansion of Asset Based Community Development training and implementation by the Essex eco-system
Asset Based Community Development
Asset Based Community Development (ABCD) is a community empowerment approach and underpins the work across Active Essex. ABCD uses existing strengths and passions within local communities, and led by citizens to increase physical activity levels. Working closely with expert partner Nurture Development, a bespoke Essex programme has been designed.
It’s clear to see ABCD principles being utilised consistently across Active Essex and many of their locally trusted organisations. A new ABCD stewardship circle was launched this year involving senior system leaders across the county, mentored by Cormac Russell; CEO of Nurture Development.
Building resilience and capacity in local community organisations
Through the Sport England Together Fund, 43 organisations across the county have had access to bespoke resilience building support, to enable their organisation to be in a position of growth and sustain success. Of these 43 groups, 9 of these have received additional organisational development support to focus on improving their people development and culture.
Sport and Youth Crime Prevention
The Sport and Youth Crime Prevention programme is a 3-year project delivered through The Active Essex Foundation and funded by the National Lottery, Essex Local Delivery Pilot and the Essex Violence and Vulnerability Unit. The project works with Locally Trusted Organisations (LTOs) across the county who use sport and physical activity to engage and support young people who are involved in the youth justice system, presenting risk taking behaviours and vulnerable to exploitation.
Hardwiring physical activity into shared community spaces
Over the past 12 months Active Essex have worked with a range of partners to unleash the potential of community spaces, to bring people together through physical activity and create a greater reach to the county’s inactive audiences. Active Essex have recognised how much more likely they are to take the first step in to their participation of activity.
Locality teams have supported organisations who have developed local community hubs, such as the Motivated Minds Happy Hub, Inclusion Ventures, ATF and Changing Lives, who are all using sport to break down barriers, engage and upskill local people.
Working in partnership with the Essex County Council Libraries team, Active Essex have been able to ensure physical activity is a key part of their offer in the ‘Library of Things’ project. Funding has been granted to provide seated exercise instructors so that regular sessions take place at libraries.

Do you know the character of our God–do you know who God is?
What does it mean to say that God is love, light, life, and spirit? In Who God Is, world-renowned New Testament scholar Ben Witherington III explores the nature and character of the God of the Bible by focusing specifically on the nouns used to describe who God is. This rich exploration has its foundation in a deep reading of the biblical text. Reflecting on these descriptions of God gives us a fresh understanding of the beauty and uniqueness of the character of our God.

Introduction to Neuroscience
This course begins with a definition of neuroscience as an interdisciplinary field, in the context of the philosophy of science. Consistent with this view, a number of faculty members from various departments are responsible for giving lectures and leading discussions throughout the semester. After covering the basics of cellular neurophysiology, the course examines the development and organization of the human nervous system in terms of sensory, motor, motivational, emotional, and cognitive processes. The neurological and biochemical bases of various brain and behavioral disorders are also examined. This course can be used as a substitute for the PSYC 101 prerequisite for all advanced-level psychology courses listed for the neuroscience concentration. However, this course does not count towards Natural Sciences diversification. No prerequisites.

A photographic lens may have a specific distortion characteristic and strength that may differ from another lens. However, despite the differences, a straight line will always appear straight if it crosses the center of the frame.
Flat-Earthers like to dismiss images taken by a fisheye lens. In reality, the attributes of such a lens are well known. We can use the knowledge to determine if a line in the image is straight, even if it was taken using a fisheye lens.

The Earth rotates only once every 24 hours. To notice the rotation of Earth in a video taken from space, we need to speed up the video so that it appears fast enough for us to notice it. We also need to make sure the video was taken from a spacecraft where its motion does not dominate over the movement of Earth itself.
Flat-Earthers claim that videos taken from space were faked because the Earth does not appear rotating. In reality, Earth rotates far too slowly to be casually seen without increasing the speed.

In images taken using a fisheye lens, a straight line will remain straight if it crosses the center of the image. We can use this attribute to determine if a line is straight in reality.
In any fisheye videos taken from a high altitude, there should be plenty of moments where the horizon crosses the center of the image, and we can use those to determine that the horizon line is curved in the real world.

A Navajo woman’s day has always begun before dawn when she rises, goes outside, faces east and prays with white cornmeal.
This is vital to ensure that each day is successful and properly lived, Ruth Roessel, a lifelong educator, wrote in her 1981 book Women in Navajo Society (Navajo Curriculum Center,1801). Following her prayer, the woman would return to the hogan and build a fire—often using wood she herself had chopped.
Daylight hours were filled with responsibilities, including cooking, cleaning, sheep herding and hauling water, Roessel wrote. The Navajo woman’s day ends with weaving and storytelling before she tucks her family into bed.
“Finally, the Navajo woman would have her family asleep and a fire burning to keep the hogan warm,” Roessel wrote. “Then she herself finally would lie down and rest.”
Women were always busy, said Vivian Arviso, president of the Navajo Nation Women’s Commission. Arviso, a former Miss Navajo, looks to her late grandmother, Bah, for guidance.
The daughter of a hataałii, or medicine man, Bah was the revered matriarch of her extended family. The mother of 11 children, she was the keeper of wisdom and authority, and she never strayed from traditional teachings.
For example, Bah rose with the sun, wore moccasins every day and never sat in a chair, Arviso said. She was an herbalist who understood the role of plants—from medication to dyeing wool.
“In the morning, you could hear her pounding the loom, the sound echoing throughout the place,” Arviso said of her grandmother. “Then she would get a team of horses and hook them to the wagon, and put her loom in the wagon. She would drive the wagon behind the sheep. While the sheep were grazing she would sit at her loom. She was always busy.”
Since she was the matriarch, Bah’s word was law, Arviso said. Her entire extended family deferred to her authority.
“There was no doubt she was the center of the family,” Arviso said. “She didn’t have to raise her voice or argue. She explained her positions and everyone followed. When she said it was time to move the sheep, we went. If she said a ceremony was needed, it was done. She was very clear, very rational, as to why these things were needed.”
The Navajo woman was strong and independent, Roessel wrote. She knew how to accomplish her tasks and lead her family, and she did not rely on help from other people.
Her role “is not one in which the Navajo woman was dependent upon and subservient to her husband,” Roessel wrote. “She was not constantly asking him to do certain things because she was incapable or unwilling to do them herself.”
This independence stems from the teachings of Changing Woman, the first mother in the Navajo creation story. Changing Woman, raised by the Holy People, gave birth to twin boys who later became cultural heroes.
Navajo women learn their roles from Changing Woman, whose example provides guidance from infancy through adulthood, Roessel wrote. Girls are named before they are four days old, and their ears are immediately pierced. Relatives gather to celebrate the baby’s first laugh, and later to commemorate puberty with the Kinaalda ceremony.
All these ceremonies “reinforced the extended family roles,” Roessel wrote. “The role played by the women in the life of the Navajos’ home was one of primary importance. They were the center of the home, and around them revolved the life of each family.”
The Holy People taught Changing Woman how to dress, wear her hair, care for the home, prepare food and build a fire. Changing Woman did all of this on her own, without the support of a husband, Roessel wrote. She raised her boys alone, and gave them “great affection and love.” She taught them how to race, shoot a bow and arrow, approach danger and ask for help—and to always embrace the good side of things, or the “beauty way.”
Navajo women are expected to teach their children four main elements: religion and traditions; gathering and preparation of food; the importance of water; and instruction related to plants.
“Without the four elements, there could be no life,” Roessel wrote. “It is in the homes that these four essential areas were taught to the children so that they in turn could grow up and carry on the traditions that were handed to them.”
Audra Platero, a lifelong educator and principal of Tséhootsooi Diné Bi Ołta' School in Fort Defiance, Arizona, said women traditionally held a variety of leadership roles. These roles occurred in the home, extended family and community.
“Traditionally, our role is to take care of our home and our children, but that’s never to say that’s a limitation, that’s all we’re here for,” Platero said. “That’s not the same concept as being barefoot and pregnant. We are the keepers of our homes, our children. We teach them language and culture, and we are responsible for making sure the home is a safe place.”
Men and women share responsibilities and complement each other, Platero said. One is not superior to the other.
“In the Navajo way of life, women nurture, support and provide guidance so there’s a harmonious balance,” she said. “They bring forth ideas and act as leaders, whether they’re wearing the mother hat, their community hat, their employment hat or the grandmother hat.”

Gloomy dog conquers the Internet and your hearts

Forget Grumpy Cat! Your new hero - Grumpy Puppy named Earl - of course, the new rising star of the Internet. Earl's sullen muzzle is still gaining popularity and does not yet earn millions, but already has several tens of thousands of fans.
The owner of the dog, Derek Bloom, says that despite his always angry and displeased appearance, Earl is very friendly towards other dogs and people. He loves all sorts of goodies, basking in the sun and chasing a ball around the park. And his "sullenness" is explained solely by the folds on the muzzle and the wrong bite.

Celebrating a legacy of science, discovery, innovation and learning, the Peter Gilgan Centre for Research and Learning marks five years
It was five years ago that the Peter Gilgan Centre for Research and Learning (PGCRL) opened its doors to over 2,000 researchers, trainees and staff. Today, it lays the foundation for excellent patient care at The Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids), attracts the world’s best researchers, runs leading-edge facilities and conducts innovative interdisciplinary research.
Designed as a state-of-the-art laboratory and learning facility, this multi-level interactive space is fulfilling its role of enhancing collaboration through research neighbourhoods where scientists and trainees from a variety of disciplines work side by side; generating out-of-the-box solutions.
The PGCRL acts as a catalyst that sparks interaction to fuel the innovations, which ultimately accelerate improvements in child health outcomes both locally and around the world. The common ‘water cooler’ areas provide scientists, clinicians and students a space to gather and incubate new solutions to treating childhood diseases. This is critical for translating research discovery into clinical impact.
“Looking back at five years of work, I am so proud of what this building represents as a part of SickKids. It continues to be a crucial enabler for Toronto and Canada in attracting and retaining world-class leaders in child health research. Over the next five years, we will continue to be a forward-looking institution driven to discover new breakthroughs, achieve new heights and solve new problems,” says Dr. Michael Salter Chief of Research, SickKids and Northbridge Chair in Paediatric Research.
As the largest child health research tower in the world, the PGCRL demonstrates daily the power of bringing together some of the world’s brightest minds to collaborate and advance paediatric health care. With one in four SickKids researchers securing Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) Grants since 2013, compared to one in seven nationally, it is clear that the PGCRL is leading the way in medical breakthroughs.
Collaboration by Design – Forging new links between data scientist and clinicians.
Since 2011, Dr. Anna Goldenberg and the PGCRL’s Goldenberg lab have worked alongside SickKids clinicians, finding novel ways to look at medical problems with machine learning, a branch of artificial intelligence (AI). The PGCRL is helping position SickKids as an AI leader in medicine. The critical mass of experts in one location has given Anna and her team access to scientists and clinicians across disciplines, making it easy to form new collaborations and quickly gain deep insights into medical issues. Projects in the Goldenberg lab are driven by a clinical need. The team uses AI to develop and test predictive algorithms that harness data and identify solutions for better care: for example, to improve resource use in the emergency room, prevent cardiac arrest in critical care patients, assess if young patients at high cancer risk will benefit from invasive screening before the age of six, and identify when treatment interventions are needed between appointments for patients with childhood arthritis. Medicine is being re-shaped by efforts to find meaning in big data.
All seven of the Research Institute’s programs have reported major breakthroughs over the last five years. Check out the at the bottom to see just some of the highlights that have come out of the PGCRL.
Cell Biology – A cell biology Senior Scientist and his team showed that a drug commonly used to treat malaria had potential to prevent neurodegeneration in cells from patients affected by Zellweger syndrome.
Children’s Health Evaluative Services – Researchers are creating “Prenatal Sprinkles” that will enable nutrients to be absorbed bin different parts of the maternal digestive tract to improve the health of pregnant women and newborns in low-income settings in Africa and South Asia.
Genetics and Genome Biology – A game-changing study identified for the first time that a significant portion of all human cancers are hypermutant and these hypermutant tumours create distinct footprints that determine important information on how the tumour will behave and how it will respond to treatment.
Developmental and Stem Cell Biology – Medulloblastoma is the most common malignant paediatric brain cancer. A recent study showed that these cancer cells can circulate though the bloodstream when it was previously assumed that metastasis of this brain tumour was through the cerbrospinal fluid. This research can help contribute to improving diagnosis of the disease.
Molecular Medicine – Molecular Medicine is home to the immunologist who first uncovered the symptoms of Roifman Syndrome (a congenital condition which bears his name), and later discovered the genetic cause behind it.
Neurosciences and Mental Health – Discovered that there are at least two forms of ADHD; one is a genetic risk and the other develops after traumatic brain injury.
Translational Medicine – A TM research team developed an ELISA test to detect antibodies to Stenotrophomonas maltophilia in the sera of cystic fibrosis patients.

National female basketball team to play in Antigua next month
As part of its preparations for participation in next year’s CARICOM Basketball Championships, the national female basketball team will travel to Antigua where they will compete in the 11th Annual Gillian Brazier Basketball Shoot-Out for females from November 24 – 28.
The local female team’s participation comes in response to invitations sent by the tournament’s host, the Concerned Parents/Teachers Sports Association (CPTSA) Wings Sports Club of St. John’s, Antigua, to basketball federations, clubs and schools in Antigua and overseas.
President of the Georgetown Amateur Basketball Federation (GABF) David Patterson confirmed the national team’s participation in the upcoming tournament when contacted by Stabroek Sport via telephone on Tuesday.
Patterson revealed that the team’s upcoming stint in Antigua will be the first of two trips scheduled this year for the national female team.
“We also [GABF] want the females in Suriname as well, and we are looking to do that sometime in December,” Patterson said.
The female team is scheduled to arrive in Antigua on November 23 or the morning of November 24 and depart on November 29.
The CPTSA will be covering all ground transportation to and from the competition venues and accommodation, while all interested teams are required to pay a registration fee of US$150 plus US$25 performance bond.
However, if a team does not forfeit any game and are present with at least eight players at the opening and closing ceremonies the performance bond will be returned.
Teams are also required to confirm participation by Friday and submit fees and bonds to the CPTSA before October 31.
According to Patterson, the GABF has already confirmed the participation of the national female team and the registration fee has been submitted.
The winning team at the end of the tournament will be awarded US$1000, along with a trophy and 15 medals, while the second and third place teams will receive a trophy and 15 medals each.
Individual awards will also be presented at the end of the tournament to the Most Valuable Player, the player with the most points, most assists, most steals, most rebounds (offensively and defensively) and most blocked shots.
There will also be a coach’s award and an award for the most disciplined player.

What is Q fever?
Q fever is a bacterial infection you can catch from breathing in dust from feaces of infected farm animals such as sheep, cattle and goats.
It's usually harmless, but can cause serious problems in some people.
Symptoms include a a fever, aching muscles, tiredness, feeling sick and swollen glands.
You can also get Q fever from drinking unpasteurised milk (milk that hasn't been heated to kill bacteria), but this is less likely.
Although Q fever is rare, people who work closely with animals are more at risk, such as farmers, vets, stablehands and abattoir workers.
In rare cases, it can lead to chronic fatigue syndrome.
