For those living with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), exercise can be a daunting thought. Some people may even fear the idea, as it is oftentimes a very difficult challenge. COPD makes even simple physical activities like “a short walk or climbing the stairs exhausting, but research shows that exercise can “improve COPD patients’ physical and emotional well-being, while inactivity can worsen their condition.”
“As a person’s symptoms become more severe, they’ll avoid any kind of activity that will cause breathing distress,” Randolph Lipchik, MD, a pulmonologist at Froedtert Hospital and the Medical College of Wisconsin in Milwaukee. “This leads to a spiral of slowly becoming more and more deconditioned, and unable to do even basic physical activity.” Additionally, the American College of Sports Medicine warns that if COPD patients choose to remain inactive, their heart function and muscle mass can decline.
When people suffer from the shortness of breath and lack of energy associated with COPD, they tend to give up activities they used to enjoy as well as social interaction, leading to an estimated 40 percent of patients suffering from depression. Researchers recommend checking with a doctor before beginning any kind of exercise program as they may want to “monitor oxygen levels and heart rate, and suggest working with a therapist to identify the right exercises for you.”
“Sometimes [patients] need reassurance that they’re okay to do something that’s not a marathon,” says Ashley Henderson, MD, director of the pulmonary diseases and critical care medicine fellowship program at University of North Carolina School of Medicine.
Recommended exercises include low-impact aerobic movements such as “walking, riding a stationary bike, and swimming use large muscle groups and can help improve breathing. Lipchik adds that “mild strength training, such as lifting light weights, can prevent muscles from weakening. But don’t overdo it”, he says.

Right now, I’m watching The Matrix. Remember The Matrix? Remember Keanu Reeves, turning in a typically obtuse performance that works because the rest of the movie just kind of spins around him? I still like this movie, regardless of whether or not it stands up, especially in light of the two sequels.
There’s a line toward the beginning that I hear in quite a few movies, and every time I hear it, it makes me flinch. Trinity is taking Neo in to see Morpheus, and she exhorts him to “Tell the truth. He knows more than you can imagine.”
Now, given the mental opacity Keanu Reeves displays (although that could just be amazing acting on his part, because I’ve also heard that he’s both very smart and a decent human being), it’s not hard to think that his imagination isn’t quite enough to come up with something as radical as, say, Oreos consisting of vanilla cookies with chocolate frosting between them. So perhaps telling Neo that something is more than he can imagine is not just true, but sort of obvious.
But there’s me. And a ton of people like me. I imagine a million things more fanciful than this every minute of every day. Granted, I haven’t been able to get my ideas the wider audience I personally think they deserve, but that does not mean that my imagination is at all lacking. Frankly, I feel that telling people that they lack imagination is the first step toward turning them into better consumers. If you can’t think for yourself, you’ll buy whatever someone else is selling you.
Don’t buy what someone else is selling you. Think of something better, then go out and make it for yourself.

Bartering for business
Bartering may seem like an age-old practice but it's becoming a popular new-age habit. Some businesses find it hard to keep a dedicated customer base when prices keep climbing. The economy may drive off some customers so the way to survive for some business is to barter with neighbors: haircut for you, wedding cake for her.

It’s common knowledge that antioxidants have many health benefits like anti-aging and anti-cancer properties. What’s not commonly known is that antioxidants also protect sperm cells from oxidative stress. And just as proper nutrition is crucial to improving your overall health, eating the right kinds of food can also improve your erectile function.
For men who are concerned about developing impotence or erectile dysfunction (ED), a diet rich in flavonoid antioxidants can help lower the risks of ED. Among the many types of flavonoids, flavones, flavanones, and anthocyanins are the ones associated with lower incidences of erectile dysfunction. Read on and find out which fruits and vegetables are rich in fertility-enhancing antioxidants.
A high intake of beta-carotene is associated with better progressive sperm motility. When you ejaculate, your sperm is supposed to swim forward towards your partner’s egg cell. Their ability to do this is referred to as sperm motility.
However, when your sperm cells do not swim forward at all or they just swim around in circles, then they won’t be able to reach the egg cell and no fertilization will occur. If you are hoping to impregnate your partner, you will benefit a lot from incorporating carrots, sweet potato, spinach, and kale to your diet. These veggies have high concentrations of beta-carotene.
Lutein is commonly associated with eye health. But the truth is that lutein also helps improve sperm motility. Just like beta-carotene, lutein is also found in high concentrations in vegetables like kale, spinach, and other green leafy veggies.
If you’re not a fan of vegetables, you can also add egg yolk, salmon, kiwi fruit, and grapes. The good thing is that foods containing often also have high concentrations of zeaxanthin. This means that when you eat these foods, you’re not just improving your sperm motility, you’re also taking good care of your eye health.
If you don’t want to develop heart diseases, atherosclerosis, and prostate cancer, you should eat foods that are rich in lycopene. As an antioxidant, lycopene protects the body from many types of diseases.
More importantly, lycopene helps improve sperm morphology. Sperm morphology refers to the physical characteristics of your sperm cells. When you have low levels of sperm morphology, it means that many of your sperm cells have abnormalities like having two tails or misshapen heads. Usually, these sperm cells are not considered viable for fertilization.
As an antioxidant, quercetin is a type of flavonoid that offers various benefits. It has anti-inflammatory, anti-aging, and anti-cancer properties. Quercetin is also great for cardiovascular health and for fighting off allergies. And for physically active people, it can help promote endurance.
Vegetables that are rich in quercetin include tomatoes, kale, broccoli, onions, and lettuce. In general, cruciferous and leafy vegetables usually contain a lot of antioxidants like quercetin. Fruits that contain high concentrations of quercetin include apples, cherries, blueberries, bilberries, blackberries, and citrus fruits.
#5 Naringin And Neohesperidin
Just like other types of antioxidants, flavanones also have many health benefits due to their antimicrobial, antiviral, and anti-inflammatory properties. Naringin and neohesperidin are two of the most common flavanones. They are often called citrus flavonoids since citrus fruits contain high concentrations of naringin and neohesperidin.
However, flavanones are normally completely metabolized and excreted from the body after a day. This is why it’s wise to eat citrus fruits daily to replenish the body’s supply of these beneficial citrus flavonoids.
In plants, anthocyanins are responsible for blue, purple, and red pigmentation. In humans, anthocyanins are extremely potent antioxidants. Anthocyanins like cyanidin help protect the body from diabetes, obesity, cardiovascular diseases, and cancer.
Aside from their cardioprotective benefits, anthocyanins also have neuroprotective benefits. This potent antioxidant is also associated with improved weight loss, lower cholesterol levels, and better eye health.
Berries such as blackberries and blueberries are excellent sources of anthocyanins. Grapes, plums, eggplant, and other blue-colored or purple-colored fruits and vegetables are also rich in anthocyanins. Red-colored fruits and veggies like red raspberries, red cabbage, and apples are also great sources of potent anthocyanin antioxidants.
#7 Vitamin E
Vitamin E or alpha-tocopherol acts as an antioxidant by stopping lipid peroxidation and scavenging for free radicals. The membranes of sperm cells are protected from oxidative stress through the actions of vitamin E. Oxidative stress reduces the number of motile sperm and by protecting against such damage, vitamin E helps increase sperm motility rates.
When combined with selenium, the antioxidant actions of vitamin E are even amplified. Selenium is necessary for normal sperm production and sperm motility. It also helps protect sperm DNA from oxidative damage. Thus, if there’s a deficiency of selenium in the testes, sperm cells may develop abnormally, resulting in poor sperm morphology and reduced sperm motility.
If you’re not taking supplements for vitamin E, you should incorporate almonds, turnips, spinach, kale, avocado, and other fruits and vegetables that contain high concentrations of vitamin E. When cooking, using palm oil, wheat germ oil, or sunflower oil, will also give you a lot of vitamin E.
#8 Vitamin C
Most people who take vitamin supplements almost always take the ones that contain because they know how important vitamin C is for overall health. For men, however, vitamin C is even more important. The concentration of vitamin C in the seminal plasma is actually much higher than in blood serum. In fertile men, that is.
In men with asthenozoospermia or low sperm motility, there’s usually high levels of oxidative compounds and low levels of vitamin C. This indicates that vitamin C helps protect sperm cells from oxidative damage which, in turn, results in high sperm motility rates. When both vitamin C and vitamin E are in abundant supply in the seminal fluid, the positive effects on sperm motility are even greater.
Leafy greens such as turnip greens and spinach, cruciferous vegetables like broccoli and cauliflower, strawberries, kiwi fruits, and citrus fruits are all rich in vitamin C. Bell peppers, black currant, papaya, and guava also contain high concentrations of vitamin C.

The Houston Texans don't appear set on using their first overall pick in the 2014 draft.
Speaking to reporters Friday, Texans owner Bob McNair said that trading the first pick will be an option the organization looks at early this offseason.
"Maybe we'll trade down and still get a quarterback that can do the job and get an outstanding defensive player," McNair said, via ESPN.com. "It's an exciting time. Everything's a moving target. Lot of different pieces."
The Texans began the season with high hopes of a playoff run but crashed and burned to a 2-14 finish.

When companies are seeking investors, they often hit the road, making presentations and making their cases. Iraq has recently begun doing the same thing, with the help of the U.S. government.
USA Today recently reported on a meeting in Madrid last week, where bigwigs from some 200 of earth's biggest companies discussed investment opportunities in Iraq with Iraqi representatives. Companies represented included Coca-Cola
At roughly the same time, elsewhere in Madrid, diplomats from both Iraq and the U.S. extracted pledges totaling some $13 billion from various governments, with the funds (some of which will be loans) earmarked for rebuilding the nation.
American investors might want to keep tabs on developments as companies move into Iraq. The situation offers a lot of promise and a lot of risk. On the promise side, as USA Today notes, "There is no shortage of demand. The average Iraqi earned $237 a year in 2001. Only 9,000 people have Internet access; less than 3% have a telephone." On the risk side, well. just look at the front page of almost any major newspaper: there's still a lot of violence and a significant lack of internal structures -- such as a stable government or legal system.
Despite the uncertainty, Coca-Cola is already dispensing drinks in Iraq, while Caterpillar is dispatching bulldozers and power generation equipment. A New York Timesarticle offers an explanation for why some companies aren't balking at the dangers: "'Sure there's lack of security, but it's no worse than working in some Latin American countries or Africa,' Pedro González-Haba, foreign affairs director of the Spanish Builders' Association, said."
Interestingly, a bunch of the companies attending the meeting are based in nations that opposed the U.S.-led war in Iraq. Russia's deputy foreign minister noted, "We hope and trust that we will not be punished for our position on the war in the awarding of contracts."
Stay tuned, investors. Like Rome, Iraq won't be rebuilt in a day. Learn more about war-related investing in this Jeff Fischer article.

Corn kernels are the seeds of maize. Though technically a grain, maize kernels are used in cooking as a vegetable or starch.
One ear of corn contains roughly 800 kernels in 16 rows. One hundred bushels of corn can produce upwards of 7,280,000 kernels. It is quite popular in breakfast cereals and it is a grain that can be eaten raw off the cob. Many people prefer corn on the cob boiled with salt and butter. Maize was first discovered in America where it quickly escalated in popularity. Maize is commonly used in America to make beer. America alone produces 332 million tones of Maize per year. About 40% of that 332 million tones is made into pure alcohol, that is about 130 million tones.
The kernel of maize has a pericarp of the fruit fused with the seed coat referred to as "caryopsis", typical of the grasses, and the entire kernel is often referred to as the "seed". The cob is close to a multiple fruit in structure, except that the individual fruits (the kernels) never fuse into a single mass. The grains are about the size of peas, and adhere in regular rows round a white, pithy substance, which forms the ear. An ear can commonly hold 600 kernels and be 7 inches (178 millimetres) in length. They are of various colors: blackish, bluish-gray, purple, green, red, white and yellow. When ground into flour, maize yields more flour, with much less bran, than wheat does. It lacks the protein gluten of wheat and, therefore, makes baked goods with poor rising capability.
Corn kernels are readily available in bulk throughout maize-producing areas. Transportation and packaging of dried clean corn kernels to non-producing areas adds to the cost.
Corn kernels are used as pelletized fuel for pellet stoves and furnaces. Corn kernels are a natural pellet, which gives them a huge economic advantage over other man-made biomass pellets and wood pellets.
Bioenergy provides substantial economic, environmental, and security benefits. The use of renewable biomass energy creates additional forms of revenue for farmers and other economic industries. This process also reduces high volumes of waste. It is also worthy to note that this type of energy reduces landfill expenses significantly by disposing of volume waste.
Also, the use of biomass for bioenergy reduces fossil fuel use, therefore preventing large amounts of emissions of greenhouse gasses and harmful pollutants to the environment. Bioenergy is a very domestic energy source because it doesn't depend on imported energy, like oil. Since corn is grown in massive amounts across the world and every continent (other than Antarctica), corn kernels are a very widespread and cheap form of energy.

Syracuse (5-0) capped off their opening weekend sweep at the Best on the Bayou Classic after defeating Stephen F. Austin 5-3. It was the Orange’s closest game of the season-opening tournament, which was largely decided in the second inning. The teams combined for eight runs, and seven of those came in the second.
This victory comes on the heels of a successful weekend where Syracuse outscored its opponents on Friday and Saturday 55-15. Syracuse mercy ruled Morehead State and Southern and went the distance in wins against Mississippi Valley State and Southern Illinois University Edwardsville.
Pitcher Ariana Adams made her second start on Sunday and struck out three of four batters in the first inning. Syracuse got on base in the first inning after Stephen F. Austin pitcher Sophie Hannabas walked two batters and gave up a single to Syracuse’s Kelly Breen. But the Orange couldn’t capitalize, and no runners scored.
In the second inning, Adams hit SFA’s Camryn Middlebrook with a pitch, and an Orange error led to runners on first and second. SFA’s Lexi Benson then poked a single past second base, and then the bases were loaded. On the next at bat, SFA freshman Kelby Robbins doubled down the left field line and two runs scored. SFA then hit a sacrifice bunt and scored again. The Orange were able to get out of the inning following a ground out and fly out.
But the Orange responded in the bottom of the second. With two walks and a single by Olivia Pess, Syracuse had the bases loaded. That’s when Neli Casares-Maher stepped up to the plate and batted in two runs with a single. Two consecutive Orange batters struck out before Angel Jasso came up to bat. With runners on second and third, Jasso hit the ball to second and caused an SFA error, allowing two more runs to score. The Orange were then up 4-3.
After a rough second inning, Adams hit another player with a pitch at the beginning of the third. Head coach Shannon Doepking decided to take her out of the game for Summer Clark, who retired the side after retiring the next two batters.
There were no hits in the third or fourth inning. While Clark threw three straight 1-2-3 innings, Syracuse was quiet at the plate as well. But in the bottom of the fourth, Jasso doubled to start the inning, stole third and then scored after running home on a Taylor Posner fly out to center field giving the Orange a 5-3 lead.
Clark threw a no-hitter after filling in during the third inning. Casares-Maher led the team with 3 RBIs and Jasso stole three bases, but Syracuse allowed three errors, which gave SFA opportunities throughout the game.
Syracuse heads to the Tarleton Softball Invitational next weekend in Texas. The Orange will begin the tournament against Texas A&M-Corpus Christi on Friday at 1 p.m.
The post Syracuse completes tournament sweep after an explosive second inning against SFA appeared first on The Daily Orange.

Today on International Women’s Day the world looks to celebrate the achievements of women and advances made towards the realization of women’s human rights but the day is also an opportunity to address the issues that continue to disadvantage women.
In the 70th anniversary year of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights many women around the world have seen States failing to live up to their obligations to ensure that they are able to exercise their human rights.
Where women’s human rights are violated many women face discrimination, denial of equal protection of the law and other impediments in accessing the justice that they deserve.
“The ICJ has a strong commitment to addressing the obstacles women face in accessing justice,” said ICJ Acting Vice-President, Justice Radmila Dragicevic-Dicic.
“The judiciary has an important role in protecting the rights of women, but in many States there is a lack of proper awareness and understanding of issues such as gender based-violence. Many judges would benefit from judicial education on specific gender-based issues to ensure that women victims are made visible and their rights protected by domestic laws and relevant international standards,” she added.
For several years the ICJ has worked on women’s access to justice issues in different countries in all regions with a variety of stakeholders, including human rights defenders, lawyers, judges, governmental authorities and international rights experts and mechanisms.
For example, in Tunisia, the ICJ issued a memorandum calling on authorities to remove the obstacles women face in accessing justice.
The ICJ has held regional dialogues in Africa and Asia with judges and lawyers.
In Asia, one outcome of this was The Bangkok General Guidance for Judges in Applying a Gender Perspective, designed to assist judges in employing a gender perspective in deciding cases before them, which has since been adopted for use by judiciaries in Indonesia and the Philippines.
In Africa, the need for gendered perspectives in judicial decision-making was also raised in a regional report evaluating sexual and gender based violence (SGBV) and fair trial rights.
The ICJ has undertaken substantial work on women’s access to justice in the context of SGBV, including a report calling for an eradication of harmful gender stereotypes and assumptions and a Practitioners’ Guide on Women’s Access to Justice for Gender-Based Violence.
Both have been used as training tools in Asia, Africa and MENA, most recently at a workshop on SGBV in Swaziland.
Last year the ICJ released a memorandum on effective investigation and prosecution of SGBV in Morocco.
The ICJ has also undertaken trial observations during hearings in the landmark Sepur Zarco case, the first case that resulted in a conviction for sexual crimes that had occurred during Guatemala’s internal conflict in the early 1980s.
The ICJ regularly engages with the UN Human Rights Council and the UN Committee on the Elimination of all Forms of Discrimination against Women to highlight issues around women’s access to justice and call on the international community to be vigilant in upholding women’s rights protections.
“The ICJ is lucky to count among its number some very impressive women human rights defenders, who bring a great deal of expertise to the work of the organization,” said Dragicevic-Dicic.
“The five most recent additions to the ICJ have further strengthened the organization’s ability to speak authoritatively on women’s rights, and I look forward to working with my new colleagues to enhance women’s access to justice,” she added.
The new additions to the ICJ include Dame Silvia Cartwright, Former Governor of New Zealand; Professor Sarah Cleveland, Constitutional and Human Rights Professor at Columbia Law School in the USA; Justice Martine Comte who has over 30 years judicial experience in France; Mikiko Otani, member of the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child from Japan; and Justice Lillian Tibatemwa-Ekirikubinza from the Supreme Court of Uganda.
In an interview with the ICJ, Commissioner Justice Elizabeth Evatt, a distinguished Australian lawyer, jurist and trailblazer for women in the legal profession in her country, spoke about the importance of women being able to access justice.
One of the architects of Australia’s Family Law Act of 1975, Justic Evatt told the ICJ how the Act made divorce more accessible and abolished the Common Law relics that gave men greater rights over women, however new problems have emerged since then.
Justice Evatt explained that “(the Act) was an extremely important reform for women. It made it far easier for men and women to access divorce and have their matters dealt with because the court had conciliation and counselling services and also legal aid was more readily available. But I am afraid that since those days, thing have changed. The Family Court is now beset with delays and obstacles and it is impossible for people to get legal aid. People have to take their case on their own or face huge legal costs, so having begun well, it hasn’t continued well. More resources are needed.”
Justice Evatt also considers that there is a need for the government and the judiciary to take more action to address domestic violence.
However, she noted, “there has been a change over the years with a growing awareness of both the police and the local courts, which are the main ones dealing with violence. They have become far more aware of the need to take action to protect women and prevent violence but the cure for domestic violence does not lie just with the courts but also with the whole of society.”

HAMMOND — A Merrillville man who conspired with two others to rob a post office was sentenced to 7.5 years in prison, courts said.
James Caffey, 29, was sentenced to 90 months in prison, two years of supervised release and ordered to pay $5,595 in restitution, U.S. Attorney Thomas Kirsch said.
Caffey conspired with a postal service employee and a hired gunman to rob the Tolleston Station Post Office at 1123 Ellsworth Street in Gary, court records said.
Employee Tanisha Banks gave logistics to commit the crime to Caffey, her boyfriend. The couple recruited Leeroy Beck to to carry out the robbery and Caffey provided him with a handgun. Caffey also handled transportation for Beck to carry out the robbery.
Beck held two employees at gunpoint and stole cash and mail from the post office, which was split among the three conspirators, court records said.
Beck was sentenced to 96 months in prison in May 2019. Banks will be sentenced on Tuesday.

The calipers and wheel cylinders are a form of slave cylinder; using the hydraulic pressure from the Jeep CJ6A brake master cylinder to pinch your brake pads against the rotor or the brake shoes against the drum so you can regain control of your automobile when necessary.

With over 18 years of experience, MTM Construction, Inc. specializes in construction and renovation of public buildings and facilities in the governmental sector. The company, which was established in Los Angeles, has completed projects throughout California.
The 27-acre park had more than 80 percent of its grounds renovated. Partnering with MTM Construction, Pierre completed the landscape and irrigation portion of the project. The project began with the demolition of the field on site. After the demo was complete, 478,600 square feet of soil preparation and hydroseeded turf were installed. Box trees ranging in size were strategically placed and installed around the premises, including a 36” Magnolia Grandiflora box tree and several 24” Robinia A. Purple Robe box trees. Various sizes of shrubs were also installed around and near the park's new pathway, which circles around the premises. The Pierre team installed a total of 2,354 shrubs that vary in vibrant colors. The park now includes over 220 Aptenia Cordifolia dirt flats, 140 Carissa Glandiflora, and 1,436 Actostaphylos U. Point Reyes.
The Ted Watkins Park’s renovations were paid for by a $6.8 million investment from the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors. With the renovations complete, the park now includes walking paths, a skate park, fitness stations, and a picnic area. A new program called the “Park After Dark Program” has been implemented, which allows visitors to stay at the park into the evening. Alternative indoor programs are also now offered at the park, including computer classes and a teen club.


Tawhid Muhammad Abu had a respiratory tract infection and his condition deteriorated rapidly three days after he was admitted to the Royal London Hospital in Whitechapel.
Doctors recommended that the
18-month-old was put on a ventilator called a CPAP.
But problems in the way beds are allocated for the most serious cases meant that Tawhid was not transferred to the paediatric critical care unit when it was recommended.
A space was eventually found in the afternoon, but shortly after his transfer Tawhid went into cardiac arrest and could not be resuscitated.
His mother, Rubi Bahar, today said her son, who had Down's syndrome, should have had better care.
"Even if my son only had a one per cent chance of survival, he deserved to be given that chance. Why did it take so long for a child to get a bed? If they didn't have the beds they should have at least transferred him to another hospital."
Ms Bahar, from Mile End, who has three other children, added: "I don't want this to happen to any other family." She is now considering taking legal action against the Barts and The London NHS Trust.
A hospital report into Tawhid's death in March last year found that "no paediatric critical care unit bed was available at the point when the child initially required CPAP" and added that "bed management was less rigorous than it could have been".
The report also acknowledged there were a limited number of beds - six for the children's intensive care unit. The trust said it was "very sorry" about the death. But it said an investigation found that "appropriate and timely clinical care was provided at all times".
A spokesman added: "Our investigation concluded that lack of access to an intensive care ward did not contribute to Tawhid's death. Better bed management, however, would have allowed Tawhid to be moved to an intensive care ward as soon as his condition deteriorated and we regret this did not happen. We have taken measures to ensure speedier access to paediatric intensive care beds."
Tawhid was given the ventilator treatment - usually administered in intensive care - on the children's ward a few hours before he died. Senior clinicians on the ward are reviewing the treatment of patients who need intensive care but cannot get it because of bed shortages.Reuse content

Korean auto maker has uncovered the ix-onic crossover concept in Geneva. Powered by the new 1.6 litre GDi turbocharged 4 cylinder petrol engine that is capable of 170HP, this gorgeous looking concept previews the upcoming Tuscon crossover. Measuring 4,400 mm in length, 1,850 mm in width and 1,650 mm in height, the ix-onic features a front fascia with a hexagonal grille which was inspired by the 2006 Genus concept car and the 2008 i-mode concept car as well as head lights with daytime LED running lights, with more LED lights on the side mirrors.
With 21-inch polished alloy wheels, muscular lines flow from the side profile to the rear end, which is finished with high-mounted tail lamps and a rear window made of Lexan high-performance plastic instead of conventional glass that enabled the designers to give the rear window a much more three-dimensional shape.
The almost production-ready interior is dominated by silky cream-white leather and an X-shaped visual theme with embossed leather, with a cool easy-on-the-eye “ice blue” lighting. The 1.6 GDi engine is mated to a dual clutch 6 speed transmission. The 5-seater all wheel drive concept also comes with the Idle Stop & Go technology which enables the power plant to produce just 149 grams of emissions per kilometer.

Laketran is providing free, accessible transportation to any Lake County resident in need of a ride to a COVID-19 vaccination appointment.
Lake County residents can use Laketran’s local route buses or door-to-door Dial-a-Ride service.
For Laketran’s door-to-door Dial-a-Ride service, customers must schedule a reservation by calling 440-354-6100. Laketran recommends making a reservation for Dial-a-Ride as soon as you have a confirmed vaccine appointment.

If a vaccination appointment is at a drive-thru site, Laketran customers will remain on the same bus for the entire trip. Laketran will transport residents through the entire vaccine process and return you home safely.
Kirtland resident, Jean Harvey, received her first vaccination last Friday at the Coulby Park distribution site using Laketran.
“The whole process went very smoothly. My bus was on time, the line wasn’t very long, and I didn’t even have to get off the bus – I couldn’t ask for anything better,” shared Harvey. “I usually ride Laketran about twice a week. During the pandemic I have continued to ride when necessary, like doctor’s appointments or shopping, and have always felt safe.”
Residents who prefer to take Laketran’s Local Routes 1-9 can call Laketran Customer Service at 440-354-6100 and request four bus passes be added to their EZfare account or mailed to them.

LawCare & the Junior Lawyers Division Cardiff joined Legal News Wales for a wellbeing refresh & mindfulness pitstop during Mental Health Awareness Week 2020.
During this well-attended event, participants had the chance to share moments of kindness with each other and tips to counter some of the emotional challenges we all face during the Covid-19 pandemic – and often at other times too.
This informal event was led by the JLD Cardiff and Mary Jackson from LawCare also led a fantastic and calming moment of mindfulness, which you can rewatch, below.
Take 10 minutes to reboot and refresh during Mental Health Awareness Week 2020 and throughout lockdown. It’s so important to take stock of how you’re feeling and what may have an impact on your general wellbeing.
While it sounds incredible to believe that a 10 minute pause (or ‘sos’, as Mary explains in the video below) can have such a dramatically positive effect on the rest of the day, believe us, it really can.
(Please note, this is a section of a live event hosted on Monday 18 May 2020)

We have vacancies start in August, September’07 and January, February’08

Friendly fraud is anything but. In fact, the friendly fraud problem continues to grow and merchants are especially vulnerable during the holidays. In some cases, it accounts for 35% of fraud loss! Jared Ronski discusses this issue and lays out tips for merchants looking to cut fraud out of the holiday mix in 2018. Some best practices include:
- Maintain better records
- Update billing descriptors to be clear
- Improve customer service
- Fight and represent chargebacks to recover revenue
At the end of the day, technology is both friend and foe. It may assist customers in perpetrating friendly fraud, but it can also help merchants streamline payments and reduce instances of fraud. Merchants should be proactive and nip fraud issues in the bud before they spiral out of control. You can read the full article here.

So...any other locks venture into the Brawler's Guild?
For me, all the fights were kind of a joke until R7 because I could just Voidwalker tank everything and just ignore mechanics by doing outrageous DPS.
R8 fights though...take a bit more co-ordination and are very much unforgiving. Anyone with any tips/tricks/etc?
I'll help out much as possible if I remember the fight, kinda just plowed through most of them though.

Sometimes students find it difficult to think of things to do to enjoy the few months of warm, sunny weather Utah provides. One way to take advantage of the sun is by busting out the bug spray, a polo and some golf skills (or lack thereof) at a local public golf course.
Regardless of preference or time constraint, Utah County has a wide array of choices when it comes to driving ranges, practice greens or shooting 9-18 holes.
East Bay Golf Course
he Provo course was recently named in Golf Digest as one of the top 100 public courses in the nation.
The place features an 18-hole championship course, a premiere driving range, a service pro-shop, Greenhollow Grill and instruction for varying ages.
East Bay is one of the only courses in the county that offers a seven hole executive course that saves both time and money.
The course weaves around the shoreline of a man-made lake with acres of majestic wetlands. The spectacular Wasatch Mounts showcase the east and north sides of the course with the east bay of Utah Lake bordering the south, therefore giving the course its name.
380 E. 1860 S. Provo – approximately 11 miles from BYU campus
Average cost–$13-42 (including carts)
Each of the courses recommend scheduling a tee time to avoid waiting or running into tournaments. It is also suggested to wear a collared shirt and comfortable walking shoes.
Just about 15 minutes down I-15, this 30-year-old course offers a player friendly environment to improve and develop golf skills. There are plenty of elevation changes and breathtaking views.
“The front nine are a little more open, so you won’t lose your [golf] balls,” said head golf pro and BYU golf alumni Ryan Rhees. “While the back nine are a little more technical and difficult. They are shorter holes that some people could drive, but the greens will require a better short game.”
This course is a winner for golfers of all abilities and offers a special rate for early birds. They only charge $10 for nine holes and a cart or $20 for 18 holes and a cart to those who arrive before 9 a.m. Monday through Friday.
Spanish Oaks has a driving range and two putting greens for golfers to warm up on before they hit the fairway. It is also opening a new practice putting green this weekend.
2300 E. Powerhouse Rd., Spanish Fork- approximately 10 miles from BYU campus
Average cost- $10-$26
Cedar Hills Golf Club
A beautiful course tucked into the American Fork Canyon is known for its mile high green that sits at 5,285 feet and overlooks the American Fork River that flows 750 feet below. The experience starts out with a bang. The first tee box is 200 feet above the fairway, which adds elevation change and majestic views.
Cedar Hills Golf Club was nominated for the best public greens in Utah.
“From a manicuring standpoint I would put us up against anybody,” said director of golf Jim Madsen. “We are one of the absolute best, including the private clubs.”
Madsen said the course is on the difficult side, but they have been working hard to soften it for lower level golfers.
The course prides itself in how much they give back to the community. They offer discounts on the starving student card. They work closely with the First Tee program that introduces golf to young children. They have also recently started a partnership with the Special Olympics, offering instruction and range experience to the participants.
10640 Clubhouse Dr., Cedar Hills – approximately 14 miles from BYU campus
Average cost– $19-$41
Gladstan Golf Course
Nestled in the foothills, Gladstan has slightly cooler temperatures and beautiful panoramic views of the surrounding mountains.
“There are a variety of holes and a lot of elevation change,” said director of golf Tracy Zobell. “The conditions are better than anyone around.”
Two years ago, Gladstan recorded people from 12 different countries and 38 states played the course. Zobell said about half of the golf association at the course is from north of Orem.
“Those guys drive past at least six other courses to get here,” Zobell said. “I think most of them like to get out of the city and really enjoy the environment here.”
The course is open to all types of golfers. At each hole there are three different tee boxes to choose from, depending on ability. The front nine are more open and a little more forgiving, while the back nine go into the mountains where a cart is required.
1 Gladstan Dr., Payson- approximately 14 miles from BYU campus
Average cost- $12-$26
Talons Cove Golf Club
Located just across Utah Lake, Talons Cove opened in 2005 and has been the home to two Utah Open tournaments in the past six years.
The course runs along the shores of Utah Lake and has spectacular views of the surrounding mountains. Denim is not allowed on the course to keep up the professional environment.
At each hole there are four different tee boxes to choose from for golfers of all skill ranges. They offer two putting greens, a pitching green and a practice sand trap that golfers can use to refine their skills free of charge.
Talons Cove has a special birthday offer that includes 18 holes of golf for free with a cart rental. They send an email to the recipient, and if the birthday lands in a colder month, they offer a rain-check for a warmer day.
2220 S. Talons Cove Dr., Saratoga Springs – approximately 17 miles from BYU campus
With the completion of Pioneer Crossing, the Ranches are much easier to access. Located in the hillside valley between Lehi and Eagle Mountain, it offers a natural environment to play in, including rolling hills and three-and-a-half foot tall grasses.
“It is a competitive course,” said club house assistant Dennis Gordon. “It’s longer and has a championship layout. The fairways are a little narrower, which will challenge the golfer.”
Gordon said the Ranches course is a little less crowded than other courses, which provides a more relaxing environment to play in and to enjoy the scenery.
They often offer discounts on the Internet, so check out their Web page before heading for the fairways.

This week repeated a striking, if familiar, pattern: President Trump described a world detached from reality.
On Twitter, at the White House, and on the campaign trail, Trump did more than get facts wrong. Over and over, he painted fundamentally false portraits of people and events to flatter himself, discredit predecessors and rivals, and promote his political objectives.
At 6 a.m., Trump sought to contrast his immigration policies with Germany's, tweeting crime "is way up" there. German government data show crime at a 25-year-low.
Two hours later, in the wake of a Justice Department report criticizing former FBI director James Comey, Trump called special counsel Robert Mueller "Comey's best friend." No evidence suggests that is true.
To make his economic stewardship sound more impressive, Trump said he has cut more regulation than the US president who served 16 years. No US president has served 16 years.
"The whole world is looking up to the U.S.," he declared, making the country "respected again." Gallup reports that the worldwide image of U.S. leadership is weaker than at any point under presidents George W. Bush or Barack Obama.
Justifying his tariffs, Trump said the US suffers a trade deficit with Canada. U.S. government data shows the opposite.
Citing a newspaper report, Trump said Canadians smuggle shoes from the U.S. to avoid import tariffs. Neither Canada nor the U.S. imposes tariffs on shoes made in the other country.
Trump called himself the first president since Ronald Reagan to achieve a major tax cut. Bush did it twice.
Trump claimed credit for adding 3.4-million jobs since Election Day 2016 – which "nobody would have believed" back then. Since 4.1 million jobs were created in the previous 19 months, the claim makes no sense.
Recounting a meeting with House Republicans, Trump tweeted that "they applauded and laughed loudly" when he demeaned Rep. Mark Sanford, a Trump critic who lost his seat in a primary. GOP lawmakers called the assertion untrue.
Trump falsely said Obama admitted he lacked legal authority for the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program even as he implemented. He falsely said wages for US workers had begun rising for the first time in 20 years; they rose during the latter years of Obama's term.
At his packed rally in Duluth, Minnesota, Trump tweeted, at least 10,000 people were turned away. The mayor of Duluth said 2,000 people were turned away.
After the Supreme Court allowed states to impose some new online sales taxes, Trump called it a "great victory for consumers." It was not; consumers will pay more.
Justifying his assault on trade agreements, Trump asserted that "nobody ever looked at trade deals" over the previous 25-30 years. Administrations of both parties continually negotiated new trade terms during that time.
Touting the document he and Kim Jong Un signed at their summit, Trump declared, "If people actually read it to the public, you'd see: number one statement, we will immediately begin total denuclearization of North Korea. "
The document includes no such commitment. It observes "mutual confidence building can promote the denuclearization of the Korean peninsula."
Throughout the week, Trump justified border policies separating immigrant children from their parents. Without his tough approach, the president said, millions of illegal immigrants would pour into the U.S. and unleash a crime wave.
He invoked the horrors of MS-13 gang members, boasting his administration was deporting them "by the thousands." He closed the week alongside survivors of people killed by illegal immigrants.
That painted a false picture. Illegal immigration across the southern border has been declining for more than a decade. Illegal immigrants, studies show, commit fewer crimes than native-born Americans. MS-13 has roughly 10,000 US members, and authorities told Politifact roughly 1,200 were arrested between Oct. 2016 and the end of 2017.
The president's aides and critics have offered multiple explanations for his misstatements.
He's new to politics, unconventional and sometimes ill-informed. He exaggerates for salesmanship and negotiation – as Trump himself has acknowledged. He is, as GOP Sen. Ted Cruz once charged, a "pathological liar."
Tony Schwartz, who got to know Trump as co-author of their 1987 best-seller Art of the Deal, offers a different explanation. He says narcissism warps Trump's perception of reality about himself and others.
"Every move he makes is a response to this distorted inner world he lives in," Schwartz told me. That condition, he warns, is "getting progressively worse."

Netgear’s Arlo is one of our favourite security cameras for two reasons — it’s entirely wireless, and entirely rain-proof. Now there’s an upgraded version called the Arlo Pro, with two-way audio and a wider field of view, as well as all the original’s weatherproofing and HD video recording.
The Arlo Pro has a new RGB-IR sensor that improves its night vision sensitivity, allowing for what Netgear calls a clear video “even in total darkness” — without any hot-spots in the video lit up by infrared LEDs. It still captures HD quality video at 1280x720pixels, with a 130-degree wide-angle lens; anything further than about 60cm from that lens should be in crisp focus too.
The Arlo Pro’s 2440mAh rechargeable battery should last for upwards of three months on a regular charge like the original, but the newest version adds quick charging that means your cameras are out of action for a shorter time while recharging. Alternatively a new battery recharging station lets you keep two extras topped off for an instant swap-out.
The big difference, though, is that the Arlo Pro now supports two-way audio, so you can use the camera to talk to whoever might be at your front door or in the process of trying to break into your house. Despite the camera’s small size, it also hides away a 100+ decibel siren that should do a pretty good job of scaring the hell out of whoever it’s aimed at.
The upgraded version of the Arlo Pro will set you back $499 for a single-camera kit and wireless base station that you’ll need to plug into your router. Additional cameras are $349 each, and if you want to stealth them up a bit you can also sheath them in black silicone skins.

Internet Gambling: A Different Varieties of Entertainment
Gambling is the action of betting on an event, with the primary intention of winning something either material goods or money. Gambling requires three components to exist: risk, consideration, and an incentive. The key concept behind gambling is that your chances of winning depends on your ability to measure the odds of a situation. A gambler will place their bets in relation to their belief in the probability of events occurring. There are several forms of gambling, such as for example online gaming, betting on sports events, lottery drawings, etc.
Most forms of gambling are conducted over the internet, especially online casinos. Internet gambling is conducted by using designated websites where gamblers can place their bets without ever moving away from their homes. All you need to have is access to the internet and you also are all set.
In general, gambling has been linked to the activity of winnings and losses through a system of rewards and consequences. Winnings on gambling sites are referred to as wages; these are referred to as bonuses. Bonuses are generally directed at players for registering and playing at the site. Generally in most states, this activity is known as illegal gambling.
Most states in america have laws against gambling, even though lots of people gamble online. This is due to it can lead to serious consequences for those who are caught. The repercussions of losing a lot of cash through gambling activities include license suspension, fines, jail time, lack of driver’s license, probation, counseling, community service, Alcoholics Anonymous programs, community projects, and restitution for victims of crime. These activities are considered as criminal offenses and are strictly forbidden by regulations of the United States.
One of the reasons why some individuals gamble on the internet is basically because they do not desire to pay taxes or they’re trying to save money. There are also other people who gamble simply for fun. Although there are people who take action for business purposes, it really is still considered illegal gambling by the government. While most states have legalized gambling, you may still find some states that prohibit gambling, especially organized crime.
Most of the state lotteries gambling activities include skill-based games like blackjack, baccarat, craps, poker, roulette and video poker. Skill-based games require players to utilize their wits rather than pure luck. Blackjack, for example, is really a skill-based game where card counters have to beat the dealer’s cards to win. However, baccarat is a game of chance wherein players bet handful of money upon winning. Roulette, alternatively, uses numbers, while baccarat uses pure luck.
There are also gambling games that include some elements of both betting and luck. In slots, for example, players need to bet using coins, while winning requires their luck. Roulette, like other gambling games, requires people to roll the dice and hope that they get yourself a number that matches the numbers written on the ticket. The popularity of slots can be attributed to the ease where people can win and lose on them; there are even websites that offer guides on how to improve your 퍼스트카지노 likelihood of winning.
The most favored types of internet gambling may be the lottery. In america, lotteries are implemented as the back door for lottery scam artists. Despite this, many states have become more lenient on internet gambling and also have authorized some form of lottery ticket. Despite the fact that the lottery is a form of gambling, the government has never taken it to the extent of outlawing it. However, there have been cases in which the lottery and the winners of the lottery have become financially indebted to the lottery organization. Internet gambling allows gamblers to place bets and earn money from them without going through the trouble of actually going to the Lottery House and playing the lottery.

“Cascade of Care” framework aims to reduce opioid deaths
Response to HIV/AIDS crisis provides valuable lessons for meeting challenges of ongoing opioid epidemic
Drug overdose is now the leading cause of death for individuals under the age of 50, as the opioid epidemic continues unabated. One reason is that the majority of the estimated 2.4 million Americans with opioid use disorder aren’t getting evidence-based treatment, including medications to treat opioid addiction.
In a paper in The American Journal of Drug and Alcohol Abuse, Columbia researchers present an expanded model to reduce opioid overdose and death by addressing gaps in addiction care and by monitoring treatment outcomes.
A group of researchers led by Arthur Robin Williams, MD, MBE, assistant professor of clinical psychiatry at Columbia University’s Division on Substance Use Disorders, developed a “Cascade of Care” model for treating individuals with opioid use disorder based on lessons learned in the HIV/AIDS field. The model identifies key stages through which people with opioid use disorder must successfully, and sequentially, progress to increase the chance of reaching remission.
The care model expands an earlier framework, published in Health Affairs, that has become a key element in the response to the opioid epidemic from the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) and the Centers for Disease Control. The expanded model includes diagnosis, linkages to care, medication initiation, retention in a treatment program, and remission. The model also emphasizes prevention services targeting populations by risk level. Mark Olson, MD, MPH, professor of psychiatry at Columbia University Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons and the paper’s senior author says, “The cascade of care model provides a common language to identify gaps, measure progress, highlight successes, and share best practices in the community treatment of opioid use disorder.”
The framework has been embraced not only by NIDA and the CDC, but by other organizations as well. Dr. Charles Barron (CDC), Deputy Chief Medical Officer of NYC Health + Hospitals, the nation’s largest public health care system, reports, “At NYC Health + Hospitals, we understand that navigating a complex health care system is difficult for anyone, and even more so for vulnerable patients with numerous competing psychosocial priorities. The Opioid Cascade of Care model we are building will be a valuable tool to target areas for quality improvement and to ensure that the greatest number of people receive life-saving treatment in our efforts to combat the opioid epidemic.”
Recent efforts to curb the opioid epidemic have included legislation charging the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) with disbursing nearly $1 billion for treatment services, with priority given to those states hit hardest by the opioid epidemic. The funding requires states to perform needs assessments and to develop strategic plans for increasing access to opioid addiction medications under a chronic care model. The team of Columbia researchers sees the application of this new framework as a valuable means to track use of medications and patient outcomes across states and localities in a standardized way.
“This report demonstrates how research can be brought to bear on this pernicious public health challenge,” says Dr. Jeffrey Lieberman, the Lawrence C. Kolb Professor of Psychiatry and Chair of the Department of Psychiatry at CUIMC. “The task now will be to make available and extend the scope of services based on this model more widely.”
“While the scale of the opioid crisis presents states and policymakers with a daunting and urgent task, adapting the OUD Cascade of Care for today’s crisis will help expedite and scale programs needed for an effective response,” says Williams. “Applying quality measures informed by the Cascade of Care to treatment of opioid use disorder holds great promise to help ensure optimal returns on federal funding for areas hardest hit by overdose. Treatment programs with historically low use of evidence-based practices in the face of the worsening epidemic need compelling incentives to change. Identifying which patients struggle at which stages of the Cascade to help target clinical and policy interventions can help State Targeted Response funding achieve its greatest impact.”
The paper is titled “Development of a Cascade of Care for Responding to the Opioid Epidemic.”
The other authors of this paper are Edward V. Nunes MD, Adam Bisaga MD, and Frances R. Levin MD, all Columbia Psychiatry faculty.
The study was supported by the National Institutes of Health (NIH)/National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) K23 DA044342-01 (Williams) and by the Christopher D. Smithers Foundation (Williams).
Dr. Nunes reported receiving medication or software for research studies from Alkermes and Reckitt-Benckiser. Dr. Bisaga received medication, extended-release naltrexone, for NIH funded research studies from Alkermes.

London: Spring in its blossoming vibrancy and cerulean skies is ever the appropriate muse for Erdem Moralioglu. Although last season’s dark, bone-chilling days forced the designer out of his comfort zone and in an edgier, perhaps, more compelling direction, Spring saw him return to the dreamy, romantic style he is known for. Erdem’s signature florals – a medley of violets, irises, daisies and poppies – decorated gossamer frocks, prim sheaths and floor-sweeping gowns fit for the finest of garden parties. The collection worked best, however, when Moralioglu juxtaposed all the dainty delicacy with more casual separates like sporty tees, mannish button-ups and slim pants. Moralioglu continues to develop into a more complex designer, and while this collection may have been the picture of ladylike propriety on the outside, a closer inspection revealed intriguing hints of subversion throughout: burnout organza exposed fractals of flesh, transparent skirts bared cheeky hot pants and lacy insets served as windows into his muse’s true nature. – Nivara Xaykao

|Up at 6am and off to catch the National Park ferry called the Yankee Freedom to Dry Tortugas, a collection of 7 islands, 70 miles off the coast of Key West, in the Gulf of Mexico. The boat is quite large, holding 175 on board. It is a 2 1/2 hour cruise out to Garden Key so we make ourselves comfortable on the back deck, under the shade, and sit back and enjoy the ride. Breakfast is provided and then we are given some information in the days activities ahead. It's about 90 F but it's so pleasant out on the water.
The first glimpse we have of Garden Key clearly shows Fort Jefferson which was built during 1846-1875 (but it was never completed) to protect the route of the sailing ships and give them a safe deep harbour to anchor if there was a storm. Ships travelling down the east coast of America would have to sail around Dry Tortugas to then use the trade winds to sail further up the west coast or even to Europe. There were no materials to construct the fort on the island so everything was brought by ship. There are 16M bricks used in the construction of the 3 levels with the walls 8 feet thick. It was fortified with 420 cannons, of which 125 could be trained on a target at sea at any one time and had a moat and drawbridge to ensure it could not be taken. Dry is included in the name because there was no fresh water. A system of tanks was set up at the fort to supply water to the 1,800 inhabitants. And tortugas because of the abundance of turtles which were used to feed the troops.
The fort was used again in the Civil War as Union warships used the harbour in their campaign to blockade Southern shipping. Post Civil War it was used as a prison with its most famous prisoner being, Dr Samuel Mudd, who was implicated in the shooting of Abraham Lincoln. He was sentanced to life on Dry Tortugas. However, he was pardoned for putting his life at risk to treat prisoners and staff during an outbreak of yellow fever. The fort has had a very interesting history and actually never fired their cannons in anger, as no one ever challenged its might.
After the tour of the fort we go snorkelling. We can enter the water at south beach and snorkel around the base of the fort all the way to the north beach. The water is a bit murky and the coral is sparse but there are quite a lot of fish and in fact there are big schools of 1,000's of fish that swim all around us, which is fun, as they scatter everywhere when you move through them. We leave Garden Key at 3pm and see a couple of turtles on the journey back and quite a few of the 'flying' fish that skim across the water like when you skim a flat stone.
A quick shower and change because we are off to Mallory Square tonight where there is a nightly Sunset Celebration. There are lots of street performers, live music, stalls and people gather to watch the sun go down at the end of a good day. We settle for a hot dog for dinner as we were fed well on the Yankee Freedom today.
Key West is a bit of a party town, with lots of bars and restaurants. There are a lot of young people here and with the weather being so hot they tend to drink a lot. It also has a bit of a hippy/arty vibe. Good fun though and the nicest of the keys.
