The Apple Watch has been the trailblazing product that has opened up a new market for wearable smart products, a growing, and increasingly common area of technology. Apple, Samsung, & Microsoft have recently filed patent applications for a 'Smart Ring' wearable product. An increase in small Kickstarter companies focusing on 'Smart Ring' products, fashion, and technology is fueling a drive for improvements on wearable technology. Currently, most 'Smart Ring' products on the market are basic and thus, there are many opportunities for future innovation. Expect to see more advancement in wearable tech while merging with the fashion industry and a decrease in the open space for patenting. Wearable tech or jewelry that fits in the 'Smart Ring' price range may be disrupted.
Who should care? Ring makers should take interest in this new, emerging product. The effects of a 'Smart Ring' entering the marketplace will most likely mimic the trend that the smart watch's entrance caused. While luxury watches have been unaffected, the consumer watch industry and other wearable tech like Fitbit now have more competition. Similarly, other finger worn tech and similarly priced jewelry should prepare for a big change. The merging of these two markets, tech and fashion, will certainly be a transformation to capitalize on. Apple is preparing for a more fashion conscience approach to their new products, as for the past 2 years, they have been hiring leaders of the fashion industry like Ben Shaffer, "Innovation Kitchen" Studio Director at Nike.
The current 'Smart Ring' products available are produced mainly by Kickstarter companies. There are quite a few of these companies holding the market and some of them have attracted attention elsewhere. Ringly, for example, has raised $5.1 million from venture capitalists after the pre-sales were finished. 16lab, a Japanese startup, has also attracted venture capital. The products currently produced contain basic functionality that may replace certain features found in other wearable products. The majority of 'Smart Ring' products act as an alert system that prevents the user from having to check their smart phone as frequently as we currently do (150 times per day says a study by Kleiner Perkins Caufield and Byers). DOI Smartring by MOTA is an updated pager which alerts the user when a call, text, email, or other way of communication comes through to the user's smart phone. This seems to be the current trend for 'Smart Rings' until someone disrupts the market, which will happen sooner rather than later.
Ring by Logbar, a Japan based company, has gesture recognition and is able to connect to any smart device. Its gesture recognition, LED light, and vibration make up the user interface that boost Ring past a basic alert system device. Logbar has filed several patent applications for a "gesture input device". If the patent applications are published, it should give Logbar more time for innovation to improve Ring, but with Samsung and Apple's recent interest in 'Smart Rings,' Logbar and other companies interested in this space should hurry.
While most of the 'Smart Ring' products focus on the tech aspects, Ringly has been looking at the 'Smart Ring' as a fashionable tech. Although their product only alerts the user when an important message has been received, their patent application describes it as "a mobile communication device that comprises a fashion accessory and a signaling assembly". With the merging between the fashion and tech markets, smaller companies like Ringly will have to be strategic about creating their IP and how they focus their innovation around their new products.
It was an opportunistic move by Ringly to mix their previous knowledge of jewelry with technology. Both Apple and Samsung's patent applications are similar in that they reference previous granted, tested, and accepted technology that they currently use. Apple's patent application for their "Devices and Methods for a Ring Computing Device" consist of a touch screen and various sensors that pick up user commands to communicate with the user, much like the Apple Watch. Samsung's application references back to their rotatable bezel that was on the Gear S2. Both companies have managed to maintain a user interface ability while on their respective smart watches, but will they be able to keep that same user-to-device communication while on an even smaller surface area like a ring?
What's next? Although these are only patent applications, which do not reveal Apple or Samsung's product development plans, it means the ideas are in motion. Companies like Ringly and Logbar may have more freedom to create and design, unlike their larger competitors. Another problem for all smart wearables is the cosmetic appeal. These products can't simply be hidden in a pocket, they are visible at almost all times.
In terms of future intersections, hand wearables may find applications within the healthcare industry as a means to help manage the "big five" of chronic disease and/or improve upon existing medical technologies (e.g., connecting cellular phones with hearing aids). Further areas of wearables innovation are likely to address other segments such as connected/smart buildings or automobiles. Samsung's recent patent application suggests that a smart ring could control a TV, radio, blinds, lights or other connected devices in a smart home.
All companies are walking a fine line as they merge and innovate this new product. The open spaces are quickly filling up. Proper care has to be taken to guard the innovation process to maintain an open space for the newest smart wearables to flourish. Any company, large or small, should be alert and constantly innovating to keep a competitive edge when addressing this market.

Studies have shown that walking is the premiere exercise. It can be done by almost anyone at anytime. Walking on a regular basis helps one live longer and healthier.
There are many people who do not exercise simply because they don't know what to do or exercise is inconvenient. A simple treadmill exercise routine is the answer for many people as it is convenient, readily can fit into one's schedule, offers healthy benefits anc can be fun too. Taking control of the exercise is important for a good treadmill exercise routine. Treadmill exercise routines provide the typical benefits of a cardio exercise. A person walking on a treadmill can strengthen the heart and improve their cardiovascular fitness. This will improve one's blood circulation and maintain good heart blood pressure.
Of course using this exercise machine does not guarantee a longer live but the fitness benefits gained will provide a healthier and better overall quality of life. Additionally this exercise tends to play on a person's genetic traits and in this respect may prolong a one's life. The use of a treadmill exercise routine does not take a great deal of time to provide beneficial results. Many people are able to do their routines over a lunch break.
Experts can recommend a complete series of plans for routines to do on different days to keep your exercise from becoming too routine and mundane. A typical routine usually provides a mix of hill climbs, long slow easy walks, brisk power walks, and speed intervals. One can also add unique strength moves and perhaps use hand weights to create a cumulative effect for overall fitness. One idea for a treadmill exercise routine is to create a 3 month plan. During each week within this plan create different routines and goals for each week. If you are just starting week one might just be slower walks to get comfortable on the treadmill.
Then for the next few weeks you might designate some days of the week as cardio days, some as strength days etc. Then craft a plan so that each Monday you will be doing a particular routine until you get everyday planned for you 3 months. You will want to have some days for inclines and some for intervals. You may choose to have one day that has a little bit of each technique. Write your plan down and keep a journal of your progress.
At the end of your 3 months, evaluate your treadmill exercise routine and use your notes to create a new plan or just tweak your existing plan for use for another 3 months. While this is just an example to get you thinking, remember there are internet resources and books that detail additional ideas that you can use to create your own treadmill exercise routine.

Satisfy all your pie cravings of the season with these creative desserts from talented local chefs.
Pie is a classic dessert of the holiday season, there’s no doubt about that – pecan pie, pumpkin pie, apple pie, you get the drift. But maybe you’re not in the mood to eat a whole pie or maybe you just want something pie-adjacent. Well we know the feeling, and we’re here to help. St. Augustine is home to a lot of talented dessert chefs, and these chefs have created everything from ice cream to waffles with all the best parts of pie and none of the hassle. So satisfy your cravings for blueberry cobbler, oatmeal creme, key lime, and more with these creative dessert dishes.
From the resident St. Augustine dessert experts comes a rich, handheld twist on a fall favorite. This rich, gooey pecan pie is served on a shortbread crust and topped with a vanilla bean mousse.
Topped with hot, fresh cinnamon apples, vanilla ice cream, a caramel drizzle, and bourbon whipped cream, these to-die-for Belgian waffles are what apple pie dreams are made of, trust us.
While maybe not a strictly seasonal pie, key lime is a love of nearly every Floridian. And this cupcake has all its best components – tangy key lime cake, doused in key lime glaze, topped with key lime cream cheese frosting, lime zest, and graham cracker crumbs.
A classic fall and winter fruit perfectly transformed into a popsicle. In typical Hyppo fashion, the Pear Pie Popsicle perfectly embodies its namesake – tartness of pear with the cinnamon sweetness of pie.
Though not traditionally a pie (hey, it’s still in the name), this classicly nostalgic dessert is a delightful treat in a season in which we’re certainly feeling nostalgic. Two slices of delicious oatmeal cake with sweet creme sandwiched inside.
Typically a summer pie, we’re willing to insist that a blueberry cobbler can be enjoyed even during the chilliest pie season. And since this is Florida, you’ll probably be safe to enjoy it in ice cream sandwich form.
We figured there was no better way to end a pie list than with an honest-to-goodness pie, in case you’re still craving pumpkin this holiday season (and you’re feeling deceived about this pie list). Enjoy layers of traditional pumpkin pie and a pumpkin supreme filling inside a flaky pastry crust and topped with a border of real whipped cream, sprinkled with toasted pecans, and drizzled with caramel.

There are 1 users using the JOOLA Falcon Fast.
Designed for offensive players, the Falcon Fast is a seven-ply blade that offers excellent control features. Lymph-wood outer veneers provide a great source of speed, while the five interior layers of Ayous enhance its control capabilities.
Excellent blade. Do not be misled by its price. Above average attacking abilities, nothing dead at all. Rather combine with hard offensive rubbers. My combo: Mark V Yasaka black- quite soft, not too gripy, feeling "dead",do not waste your time. Yoola for You - what a surprise. Much more lively a bit harder but better feel and control for half the price of Mark V. Look for harder, offensive, grippier rubber then Mark V and you will be more than happy with this OFFENSIVE blade. Please, share your experience with different rubber combinations with this execellent blade.
I have bought this blade for 19 euros, and I am playing with it for 8 months. The fact, that I am an amateur player, who has not well developed playing technique, could affect my experience with the blade. Firstly, my opinion is that this blade absolutely worth the money I have gave for it, and it is a good choice in the price range, which this blade belongs to. I would label it as a medium-weight, but closer to a medium-light OFF- blade. This blade is especially good for precise smashing, and it is the part of the game, where it has the best performances. Also, its good characteristics come out in the mid-distance play, but it is also quite good for controlled blocking. The biggest disadvantage of this blade, is that it is slightly too stiff and hard for looping and carrying out the potential of the players whose play is spin-oriented. Joola Falcon Fast is not an adequate blade for a professional player who has high demands, but it totally fits the needs of a beginner or an amateur player who tends to play offensively, and who learns the basic forehand and backhand strokes. This blade matched with an adequate pair of rubbers gives a much better combination for little more money, than the pre-assembled rackets.

Consumer prices (CPI) fell 0.2 percent in August as declines in gasoline prices offset increases in food and shelter prices. Core inflation, a measure that excludes volatile food and energy prices, was flat for the month. On a year-over-year basis, prices rose 1.7 percent for all items and core items.
This rate of inflation is just below the Federal Reserve’s 2 percent inflation target  and the information comes as the FOMC meeting wraps up today. A statement on any adjustments to monetary policy as well as economic projections and a press conference with Chair Yellen is scheduled for this afternoon. Expect a continuation of the current taper schedule (a further $10 billion reduction in asset purchases) and perhaps some changes in the policy statement to indicate that the Fed may begin rate increases in the first half of 2015 if the economy continues to improve as expected.
While lower overall prices may lessen pressure on the FOMC to begin tightening, prices of certain items are rising faster than the 2 percent target.
For example, rent of primary residences—actual market rents paid by individuals who do not own the home they live in (pictured below)—rose by 3.2 percent from a year ago in August. This was the 5th month of growth above 3 percent for this rent.
Owner’s equivalent rent of residences (OER), a measure to approximate price change for owner-occupied housing, rose 2.7 percent in August  . This was the 9th consecutive month of growth at or above 2.5 percent for OER. Together, the two rent components contribute more than 30 percent to the overall CPI.
Real estate agents may be happy about the energy offset. In spite of increases in rents, energy prices were lower, especially Gasoline prices which are down 2.8 percent from a year ago. The 2014 Member Profile shows that the typical REALTOR® spent $1,860 on expenses for the business use of a vehicle in 2013, an amount equivalent to 28 percent of the typical REALTOR® total real estate expenses in the same time period.

Barlow is a sharp critic of the current trends in the media, such as the presentation of news as entertainment. At the same time, he is passionate about the importance of journalism in creating an informed public debate about the policy issues that face us. As one of the founders of the ePluribus Media collective, Barlow believes web journals and blogs have an important, if not essential, role to play in shaping public opinion and giving citizens the means to take on an active role in political debate. This __ the role of the blogs and the future of print journalism __ is one of the hottest topics in the field today.
Although Barlow is a passionate advocate of citizen journalism as it is manifest online, he does not see it as a substitute for a viable press. He also rejects the contention that web journals are an essentially new form simply because they are distributed through the internet. In this, and other ways, the book is full of surprises; it is personal, while at the same time scholarly. It's a first-hand, inside perspective on modern journalism, but not a first-person memoir. Barlow references his own experiences as a professional journalist and teacher of journalism, but delivers a comprehensive, well researched review of the history of U.S. journalism from colonial days to the present.
The book begins with a discussion of how early U.S. printers published newspapers as a way to fully realize the capacity of their presses and how they could, by becoming postmasters, run a primitive version of modern-day news bureaus. Barlow then guides the reader through the technological developments publishing has seen in the past 250 years, from the days when Benjamin Franklin was simultaneously a printer, publisher, writer, postmaster and political leader, to the development of blogs and web journals today. This growth of technology created the possibility to reach wide audiences quickly, but it also created the circumstances for the stifling development of commercial pressures on publishers.
Besides the advent of profit-driven presentation, Barlow also addresses a more recent development in journalism - the fraud of objectivity. All too often, the truth of a matter is obscured by attempts to appear "neutral" in reporting the news of the day. Giving air time to two conflicting opinions purporting to be an unvarnished presentation of fact does not meet the ideal of objective journalism; presenting both sides of an issue is always laudable, but honest journalism demands a commitment to truth.
Major developments in printing technology, beginning with single-use newspaper presses, created the capability for large runs and gave rise to the need to create a market. With a large subscriber base, the newspaper publisher could attract advertisers who would finance the expanded role of the press. This led to the on-the-spot news coverage that began during the civil war and to the later development of international news bureaus and world-wide coverage of current events.
As newspapers became a major commercial enterprise, advocacy and political commentary were segregated and placed in a special "editorial" section of the paper. Media moguls such as William Randolph Hearst emphasized sensationalism and the coverage of trivia as a way of increasing the circulation of his papers and was one of the first to develop multi-media packages. At the same time, he used his control of the media to oppose FDR's New Deal and rally the America First movement.
The similarity between Stone' s research method and that of Internet researchers is certainly striking. Today, many journalists look upon the bloggers with disdain, seeing them as doing no reporting. What they mean is that the bloggers aren' t on the spot, watching a war unfold or asking a president direct questions. But what Stone discovered and what bloggers are rediscovering is that effective reporting entails a great deal more than direct observation. In fact, in this view, what has come to mean "reporting" over the past years isn't real reporting at all, but merely the recording of events .
In the early years of the republic, and since the rise of the blogs, it is the contribution of amateurs that has kept American journalism significant to debate within the public sphere. Over the intervening century and a half, the pressures of commercialism and professionalism constrained the public sphere, limiting the ability of the people __ the amateurs __ to participate directly in the discussions. As much as any other single factor, it is the loss of the ability of the amateur to have a direct impact on the national debates that has increasingly turned people away from both the news media and national politics. With the rise of the blogs, a new venue for direct, amateur participation in both the news media and national politics, we may soon see a reversal of that longtime trend.
This is not a book about the future of the blogs, but about the past that allowed them to appear, so I will not try to predict much about what might or might not happen in the next few years.
In my opinion, The Rise of the Blogosphere: American Backgrounds should be a part of the university journalism curriculum and be available on academic and public library shelves. Hopefully it will be issued as a paperback soon so that it can also achieve mass circulation.

This book arises out of a passion for the lute music of the renaissance. This music is best served, from the guitarist's point of view, by using the appropriate tuning and a sympathetic playing approach. Intermediate players benefit from some help in getting over the hurdles this can entail, and this book is the result of many years spent finding ways to help them.
A step-by-step approach is taken to help the player get used to lute tuning, starting with very simple scales and chords. Easy excerpts from real repertoire follow, showing the ways in which lute pieces make the most of the tuning and preparing the way for progression to complete pieces.
These practical sessions are backed up by chapters covering the historical background to the subject, the use of the capo, the interpretation of renaissance repertoire, playing from tablature, making your own transcriptions, improvising divisions and the use of special guitars for lute music.
"I found this informative, entertaining and most useful to the Renaissance novice. This is simply an invaluable source for any lovers of this period."

Can I face charges for driving after using drugs or medications?
On behalf of Drennan Law Firm posted in Drunk Driving Charges on Thursday, May 26, 2016.
When you think of driving under the influence, you might assume that alcohol is the substance that you are under the influence of. That isn't always the case. It is possible for a person to face criminal charges for driving under the influence of drugs, even if those drugs are over-the-counter medications or prescription medications.
What kinds of drugs are associated with driving under the influence?
Any drug that affects your ability to make decisions and function properly can lead to a DUI charge. This can include illegal drugs like cocaine, methamphetamines, marijuana and heroin. It can also include medications, such as allergy medications that make you drowsy or prescription medications like muscle relaxers or pain relief pills.
How is drug intoxication proven?
Drug intoxication is usually proven through a blood test or urinalysis that can detect whether certain drugs are in your system. There isn't a breath test for drugs, so the blood test, urinalysis and possibly field tests are used to determine if a person is under the influence of drugs. Drug Recognition Experts, who are trained to determine if a person is impaired by drugs, might perform field tests to determine if a person is under the influence of drugs.
Does a doctor's prescription matter?
Having a doctor's prescription for the drugs doesn't matter in a DUI case based on prescription drugs. In fact, many prescription pills have warnings on the bottle that warn you not to drive if you have taken the medication.
If you are facing a drugged driving charge, make sure that you understand the penalties for the charge. You can move forward with defense planning once you understand the penalties and the case that is being presented against you.

The land of Östmark is in flames after the country’s president found murdered in his palace. The civil war broke out quickly between various entinity groups, as the internal conflicts had been at the brink of explosion for a while and President Lack’s hard rule was the only thing that held the country together. Now the different Political stands blame each other as the ones behind the assassination of President Lack.
The United Nordic States were quick to send a military force to the area, which also raised suspicions about whether the country’s intentions might have increased interest in Östmark’s major oil resources, and was not the Presidential Assassination a little well professional?
In the midst of this chaos of civil war, a warlord has taken the opportunity to expand his influence. His name is Zid, loved by his own people as a hero and future leader of Östmark. At the same time, he has been accused of abusive war crimes against the country’s minority groups, and reports of regular ethnic cleansing have been submitted by observers of the United Nordic states. Zid’s popularity is undoubtedly a problem for a peaceful resolution in Östmark, at least from the United Nordic States point of view.
The United Nordic States has now secretly left a small elite force landing only a few kilometers outside the area where Zid and his men are suspected of being – now waiting for orders.
Operation Lingonberries was a sore defeat for the NATSOC forces. Whilst they were able to capture the PLM stronghold their casualties during the PLM counter attack was to severe and captain Westny was forced to pull his forces back.
The infamous warlord Zid was never captured and though PLM troops managed to drive the occupation back they soon realized that this was just the beginning and they would not be able to stay at their current whereabouts.
Meanwhile NATSOC intelligence sent in several agents to find out where Zid had gone and especially who he was and what he looked like… This soon backfired as one of NATSOC agents were captured in the act and are now being tried as enemies of Östmark. This agent did however manage to come in contact with officials of the counter side in the Östmark rebellion. These officials were also captured and held captive with the NATSOC agent.

By midnight Yllyesh had learned several things. People in Tarbalainn — young people — were disappearing at an alarming rate, and Oldo, Lee-Lack’s fellow-robber, was involved in what happened to them. So was His Glorious Majesty, Tenaxos the First, High King of Ximerion. And Lee-Lack’s life was in imminent danger.
The Mukthar had watched Lee-Lack take the long road down into Tarbalainn. He followed the robber with his eyes as long as he could. Lee-Lack didn’t look back.
Once alone he led his horse away from the cliff and toward the nearest woods. There he stripped and reluctantly donned the clothes he had taken from the bodies of the men who had tried to rob them a week ago. He had meant to throw them away, but now he was glad he hadn’t. He shivered with disgust. The garments felt rough against his skin, and he imagined he could still smell the sweat and body odor of their previous owners, though he had washed them thoroughly.
There was nothing he could do about that. The important thing was that he wouldn’t be recognized as a Mukthar at first sight. The more discerning person would recognize his saddlecloth as foreign to these parts, but he was sure he could invent a plausible story. He could have bought the thing in Mirkadesh, couldn’t he?
He rolled up his Mukthar cloak as tightly as he could and, with some effort, stuffed it into one of his saddlebags. He put on the one he had taken from their would-be robbers. He had worn it before, but only now did he notice it was far too short and that it lacked a hood.
Then he went back to the rim of the cliffs and sat down to watch the town and the sea that stretched as far as he could see. He had seen lakes before — some of them very large — but nothing compared to this vast, seemingly living mass of water.
It was midmorning by then and he watched how five small vessels left the port. After they had managed the narrow channel between the arms of Tarbalainn, they dispersed in different directions. Just before the last one sailed out of sight, Yllyesh noticed how tiny figures cast nets from the aft side. Only once had he seen them used like that to catch fish in a lake. He knew the sea contained fish as well, though he had never eaten any. Maybe it harbored even larger prey like sea-bears. The more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed to him that such an enormous body of water was home to equally enormous beasts.
Guiding his horse by the reins, Yllyesh descended the steep road on foot. It gave out onto a little square with a fountain and basin in the center where he let his animal drink.
He noticed how a young girl looked at him sideways while she filled a jar with water. He flashed his most charming smile at her and she colored instantly deep red.
“Do they still stink?” Yllyesh flushed.
“Elricky. My name is… I didn’t mean to call you a wench. I didn’t know… How was I to know you washed your own clothes?” By now her face was fiery red.
This time it was Yllyesh’s turn to flush.
The discomfort of the young man gave Elricky some confidence. She smiled.
Yllyesh hesitated, but Elricky’s big, innocent eyes helped him make up his mind.
He had expected a surprised reaction at least and maybe even one of fear or hate, but Elricky didn’t seem unduly disturbed.
“What’s a Mukthar?” she asked on the brink of a nervous giggle.
“But I am. I assure you I am,” Yllyesh protested, now truly disappointed.
Elricky laughed, then wrinkled her brow.
“We can discuss the price of the clothes after you have seen them,” she interrupted him. “Even with her eyes being what they are, Mother can do some small modifications if needed, like lengthen or shorten pants. And I’m a good cook,” Elricky rattled on.
Yllyesh did some quick thinking. Private lodgings would be more discreet than staying at an inn.
“Are you sure?” the Mukthar asked. “Two women having a stranger — a barbarian, no less — stay in their house. Won’t your mother be afraid? Won’t you?” He bared his teeth in what he thought was a ferocious grin.
Yllyesh couldn’t help laughing. The girl turned an even deeper shade of red.
“I will,” the Mukthar said, producing his would-be savage grin.

Rob Stewart pairs up with Team Dementia Friends to make the English Football League, from League 2 to the top flight, more dementia friendly.
Football has always been a passion of mine but now it’s become a labour of love thanks to Dementia Friends.
A lifelong love affair with football, which began one wet and windy night at Huddersfield Town in 1972, has suffered plenty of ups and downs due to my hometown club..
Two defeats in a row mean my Premier League dreams are in ruins but what’s cheered me up no end is working with my esteemed Dementia Friends colleagues Mary McColgan and Lucien Topp.
They’re leading the Team Dementia Friends campaign which aims to make professional football in England and Wales more dementia-friendly and it has been a privilege to be asked to help them out.
Team Dementia Friends is aiming to get our 92 Premier League and English Football League clubs – as well as Berwick Rangers – on board with Dementia Friends.
The campaign is being spearheaded by Dementia Friends Champions who will ask local football clubs to stage Dementia Friends Information Sessions for matchday stewards and staff.
That will mean people who are affected by dementia know that football grounds will be places where they will be welcomed with open arms because the condition is understood.
Becoming members of Team Dementia Friends will ensure stewards and staff have a bit of insight into what it’s like to live with dementia so they are equipped with the skills to help.
A dementia diagnosis should never be a barrier to doing things people with the condition want to keep doing and that certainly applies to the national game.
There’s no beating the buzz of going to a football match to cheer on your team and the thrill of seeing the ball hitting the back of the net is quite extraordinary.
We have superb allies at Leyton Orient who have helped us get the proverbial ball rolling on Team Dementia Friends, staging a dementia awareness day when Portsmouth visited in October.
The club also hosted a photo-shoot with our very own head of policy George McNamara to promote Team Dementia Friends.
Both were statements of intent from a club at the heart of the community, determined supporters with dementia will be welcomed with open arms at the Matchroom stadium.
Hopefully it will be the platform not only to make our football clubs dementia-friendly but to get more and more fans to join our 1.7 million Dementia Friends as well.
It will be my job to secure the media coverage Team Dementia Friends deserves and the regional communications team will be working hard to spread the word about the sterling work of Dementia Friends Champions.
These are exciting times if you like your football as the season unfolds. I just hope that we can unite to make all our clubs dementia-friendly by telling them all about Team Dementia Friends.
As a football fan, you can get involved with Team Dementia Friends by becoming a Dementia Friend at dementiafriends.org.uk – when you sign up you can tell us which team you support and help to get your club up the Dementia Friends league table!

This sprawling recreational reserve is one of the Eastern Suburbs largest and most well loved parks, servicing the community with gardens, sports fields, picnic areas and plenty of amenities.
Rolling out along Foreshore Drive, Sir Joseph Banks Park occupies the green space between The Esplanade and Fremlin Street in Botany, with many entry points, including Fremlin Street, Waratah Street, Tupia Street, Hayden Place and Chelmsford Avenue / The Esplanade.
Any of the above mentioned streets can be used as an address, but Tupia Street, Botany NSW 2019 is close tot he centre of the park, while Fremlin Street is closer to the playground.
There is a large dedicated parking area off Tupia Street, as well as a smaller carparks on Fremlin Street (close to picnic areas and playground) and Chelmsford Avenue / The Esplanade.
Don’t get your knickers in a knot, it’s way less scandalous than it sounds! Located near the Waratah Street entrance, the gardens were the site of a former zoo, which is why you can see statues of various animals located around the park. Great fun for the kids and a bit of history and serenity for the adults.
Located near the playground, the barbecue area takes advantage of the wide spaces, offering a great opportunity for family and social events. It’s closest to the Fremlin Street entrance and playground, and there’s a second barbecue area near Tupia Street entrance on the other side of the pond.
The playground spreads out nicely near the barbecue area and offers some unique play experiences including monkey bars, flying fox, merry-go-round and tyre swing, as well as many other activities both active and challenging. There’s also a learner’s cycle track around the playground area, complete with signs and stop lights so beginner cyclists can learn the rules in safety.
WInding through the park from end to end you’ll find paths that offer good opportunities for a wander, cycle or jog. There’s even a kids pedal park encircling the playground, which is a safe, fun way to learn bicycle riding. These paths also make for a good commuter route for cycling’s who pass through the area.
One of the park’s many draw cards are the duckponds teeming with waterfowl including ducks and geese. As per usual, it’s advised not to feed the birds to keep them from getting aggressive and messing too much with the ecosystem.
Located within Sir Joseph Banks Park, Hayden Place Reserve is a self contained off leash dog walking park which is, you guessed it, close to the Hayden Place entrance to the park.
Located near the off leash dog park and Hayden Place entrance, this half court is in good condition, with a shaded bench area nearby and a small sand pit / kids play area.
Fenced and secluded from Foreshore Drive, the walk heads into the native vegetation and eventually joins up to Hale Street, making it an enviable commute or just a nice, lengthy stroll.
There are bins scattered throughout the park and around the picnic area in particular.
There is a large toilet block near the playground and picnic area.
Yes! Dogs are welcome in the park on leash and there is off leash at Hayden Place Reserve.
No bike lockups but you coukd eaiky chain your bike up somewhere.
A popular recreational reserve with sporting facilities, playground, a basketball court and picnic areas.
Bike tracks, playgrounds, a picnic area and outdoor gym are all on offer at this picturesque parkland in Botany.

Build a spot to dine in the most popular room in the house! Our plans make it easy to build. Quick and easy download.
Finding space in the kitchen isn't easy, whether you're talking pots and pans, flour and sugar, or tables and chairs. I designed this compact table-and-stool set to make it possible to sit and eat in the kitchen without robbing the room of its much-needed space. I had a compact design in mind when I built the stools so that they can nest under the table and thus out of the way. The entire set can be stored against a wall.
Kitchen tables and stools have a reputation for being difficult to build, but I've discovered that it doesn't have to be that way if you take time to refine the design. That's what I've tried to do here. The joinery is simple but strong. The lines are clean and contemporary. All of the materials-even the upholstery-are inexpensive and easy to find.
To make this project come together well, diligent planning and stock preparation are key. I usually sand all of my stock to paint-ready smoothness before I cut it to size, and this set is a perfect case in point. After final assembly, there are plenty of nooks and crannies that you'll never get a chance to smooth properly otherwise. You'll save time sanding and get better finished results if you sand first. I recommend running a belt sander, equipped with 120-grit paper, over all the stock you have before cutting your stock to the dimensions listed.

Well someone did a search for Vintage Clothes Hangers on this site and it turned up zip, zero, zilch, so I feel obligated to list a few in case anyone else is searching this site. A quick look at these bad boys from way back and you can see why they are still in demand (wooden hangers are still available new). The nicest are made of wood and heavy gauge wire hooks. Compared to the cheap plastic clothes hangers you get today, these vintage clothes hangers are not going to be easily broken. If you have a nice vintage clothes collection then these are just a must have.
A lot of these hangers can be picked up for just a few bucks at these LIVE auctions, so grab a set and tell the cashier at Kohl's to keep the plastic hangers for her stuff!

You know those times when you just need to change in public but don't want to get naked? When the gravity of changing your ensemble is so pressing that you can't wait to find a restroom, a towel to cover yourself, or a backseat to duck under? Don't worry. They've found a solution. The Undress lets you change clothes in public without getting naked, and now they have a campaign on kickstarter to fund its manufacturing. Because I guess some extra stitches, "secret pockets," and colorblocking make it somehow more effective than my beach towel changing routine. Alrighty then.
"Have you recently been forced to change clothes in public? Have you tried changing behind a flimsy towel, in a dirty public restroom, the backseat of a car, or worse?"
Oh, dear, I don't even want to think about what "worse" is supposed to mean. First world problems, folks. But really, the dress is more than just a dress: It's a system, and the creators have cleverly created a step-by-step guide to show us how idiotic we can all look swapping out of our workout clothes into jeans. Frankly, I'd rather be naked in public.
And what's with the dress? I feel like the men got kind of left out on this one. Looks like you'll have to keep dealing with those dirty public restrooms, guys.
The campaign has a $22,000 goal and, shockingly, with 37 days to go, they've reached $22,146. I'll give them major props for garnering so much support for something that is both visually unappealing as well as entirely frivolous. I'm still stumped trying to figure out what kind of situation would put you in imminent danger if you did not change right that second rather than waiting five or ten minutes to get somewhere appropriate for changing, or, brace yourself, accidentally show a little sideboob. Maybe instead we should spend our energy creating kickstarter campaigns for things that are actually necessary and vital to better our society. Like Nutella Starbucks drinks.

I guess you already figured out what I am going to discuss in this post from the title itself. However, if you don’t have kids, you can still participate in this conversation and perhaps, add some value from your perspective.
Social media, especially Facebook, is always a cause for concern among parents and a reason for friction in two different schools of thought.
One group of people thinks that Facebook and social media is evil and we should avoid it at all costs. Well, I don’t subscribe to that group and that is why this post is also not about them or for them.
The other group is of social media enthusiasts. I actively participate in this group for obvious reasons and this is what my online business is centered around.
But then, you know how powerful social media can be in building your personal brand, online reputation and growing your business at such a low cost if done right.

Artisans in Haiti craft these sweet, wall-mounted tea light sconces from recycled oil drums.
The little corners of your house—guest bathroom, foyer—want in on the decoration love fest. Give them a touch of warmth with these tea light sconces. They have a pretty amazing story: Makers in Haiti handcraft them from the metal of old oil drums. They then create sweet "etched" hearts that reflect the flicker of the candle. Sentimental and a little bit romantic, they're a unique gift for anyone who lights up your heart. Handmade in Haiti.
Louis Juste Omiscar began working in metal sculpture at eight years old, flattening and sanding used oil barrels. He began cutting metal when he was fourteen, and apprenticed with the renowned artist Serge Jolimeau, whose metal art has been collected by museums internationally. From Jolimeau, Omiscar learned to do fine cutting and detailing and create his own designs. Now, he has a wife and two children, and works with eight apprentice artists of his own in his workshop in the Village Artistique de Noailles, a three-street enclave of metal artists in Croix des Bouquets, Haiti. He specializes in intricate floral patterns,. “When my art goes out, it lives in the world for me," he says.
The finish on your metal wall sculpture is ready for indoor display. For outdoor use, spray the pieces with a clear gloss spray varnish to keep it protected. Untreated, your piece may patina.
Romantic ambiance for our anniversary!
Easy to hang and easy to clean.

BARE "BARE-LY LEGAL": A meditative and intoxicating blend that evokes the inspiring ambiance of a garden full of white tuberose blossoms, Lilac, Gardenia and rare blossoms from all over the world. Lose track of time as layers of exotic sensual blossoms transport you to a haven of thoughtful tranquility.
BARE "DARE TO BE BARE" Perfume has all the qualities of a typical feminine fragrance - flowers (tuberose, ylang, jasmine, Lilac, gardenia, bergamot and orange blossom) and fruit (coconut, melon). What makes BARE "DARE TO BE BARE" Perfume great on a woman is is how unpredictable it is. All of the notes are turned up to full blast in a rich, creamy and over-the-top fashion. Tuberose is the main star of the show, backed by the fruity notes of ylang, and the dirty, indolic qualities of jasmine and orange blossom.
BARE: Tuberose’s kaleidoscope effect is unique. Its complex floral-heady-jasmine-orange- fruity-lactonic-honeyed-indole aroma makes it a particularly precious, unforgettable ingredient whose singular personality will attract attention in any olfactory composition. Bare is a trendy, urban fragrance with some noticeable citrus top notes. This fragrance is classified as a fresh scent with sparkling notes that refresh, and really put a smile on your face. The fragrance sparkles with its citrus, spicy and woody scent possessing a blend of cedar wood, musk, jasmine, and other spices. It is captivating, powerful and elegant.
BARE "HEAT" (unisex): Resplendent with tuberose, sweet honey and ylang. The other cooler, less "loud" flowers round the bouquet so you can smell more than the honeyed sweetness and "rubber" note in the tuberose. The final drydown is heavy with woods, musks and dry earthy patchouli, oakmoss and vetiver. This scent, even though it is a modern reformulation, is divine.
BARE "DARE TO BE BARE": Explores the sensuality of tuberose rendering white blossoms both as bathed in the sunlight and touched by the evening shadows. In the Victorian language of flowers, tuberose signified dangerous pleasures, while in India young girls were warned against inhaling its aphrodisiac scent after dark, lest it lead them into trouble.

Maybe Santa did a lot of shopping at CS Wo last year.
What else could explain the old sofas sagging sadly along the roadsides of O'ahu neighborhoods?
Were new couches the hot gift this Christmas?
Did too many people serve pink party punch in tippy glasses? Or were people planning to sit out and light sparklers for New Year's?
Along Halema'uma'u and Hawai'i Loa roads in East Honolulu, three old sofas and one love seat appeared in the past week. On 16th Avenue in Kaimuki, there are two sofas, one love seat and numerous chairs hugging the curb.
There are quite a few sofas along the main road in Waimanalo, but those might be part of the ongoing pa'ina equipment. Hard to tell.
And there are a couple of old toilets on Kalaniana'ole, but that's probably a different category.
In 'Aina Haina, there are several refrigerators, one washer, one mini-fridge and multiple assorted fans along the curb near Kiholo.
On Wilhelmina Rise, it's all about televisions. There are big ones and little ones sitting in the narrow grass boulevard by the sidewalk, balanced atop other discarded furniture, leaning against the trash cans. There's even one of those old-fashioned consoles that comes with its own legs. Pau. Aloha.
In Kahala, there's nothing on the side of the road for bulky-item pick up. Not a thing. But as you get closer to the Kaimuki border, there are piles of chairs, stacks of wood, a couple of buss-up dressers and an old mattress.
To add to the mystery, bulky-item pickup is pau for those neighborhoods.
Wilhelmina Rise is the third Wednesday of each month, which was last week. 'Aina Haina area is the fourth Monday of each month. Niu Valley, Kuli'ou'ou, and Haha'ione Valley get the fourth Wednesday of each month. There are no more third or fourth Wednesdays or Mondays for weeks.
Perhaps, like the queue of cars outside McKinley Car Wash, the discarded household pieces are indicative of the Japanese New Year tradition of starting off clean and fresh. Clean car. Clean sofa. Out with the old. Good start for the new year.
In any case, the good news is that the bounty of cast-off couches were being offered a second chance. A Salvation Army truck was spotted slowly rolling through East Honolulu, the folks inside looking tired but happy after picking up yet another sidewalk sofa.

Important (spread and loss of yields).
On leaves: initially small water soaked lesions develop narrow, yellow halos. Lesions may enlarge and coalesce, causing extensive necrosis. Lesions may also occur on stems and pods. Infected seeds are sometimes wrinkled and the hilum may be discoloured. Symptoms similar to halo-blight of bean.
On seed: If the infection occurred when the pods were young, the seed may rot or be variously wrinkled and shrivelled. If the bacteria enter by way of the funiculus, only the hilum may be discoloured, but this is difficult to detect on dark-seeded varieties. Strains producing the brown pigment (so-called fuscans strains) give more conspicuous seed discoloration.
The principal host is Phaseolus vulgaris and Phaseolus lunatus but other legume species are naturally infected, including P. lunatus, Vigna aconitifolia, V. radiata, and Vigna umbellate. Lablab purpureus and Mucuna deeringiana are possibly natural hosts. P. coccineus, P. acutifolius and Lupinus polyphyllus are hosts only by artificial inoculation (Bradbury, 1986). Macroptilium lathyroides.
EPPO region: Found in Egypt, Finland (unconfirmed), Lithuania, Moldova, Morocco (unconfirmed), Norway, Poland (unconfirmed), Sweden (unconfirmed). Widespread in Bulgaria, Hungary, Lebanon and Spain; locally established in France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Netherlands, Portugal (Madeira), Romania, Russia (European), Slovakia, Slovenia, Switzerland, Turkey and Yugoslavia. Found in the past but not established in the Czech Republic, Israel.
Asia: Bangladesh, Brunei Darussalam, Cambodia, China (Heilongjiang, Henan, Hunan, Jilin, Jiangsu, Liaoning, Zhejiang), Cyprus, Georgia, Hong Kong, India (Delhi, Maharashtra, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh), Indonesia, Israel, Japan, Lebanon, Korea Democratic People's Republic, Korea Republic, Malaysia, Myanmar (Burma), Nepal, Philippines, Sri Lanka, Taiwan, Thailand, Turkey, United Arab Emirates (IMI, 1996), Viet Nam, Yemen.

Oceania: Australia (New South Wales, Queensland, Victoria, Western Australia), New Zealand, Samoa.
The bacterium enters the leaves via stomata or wounds, and subsequently invades the intercellular spaces, causing a gradual dissolution of the middle lamella. The stem is entered in three ways: via the stomata of the hypocotyl and epicotyl; through the vascular system of the leaf; or from infected cotyledons. The seed is penetrated via the vascular system of the pedicel and funiculus. The micropyle also serves as a point of entry into the seed. Direct penetration of seed has not been observed. The pathogen either remains in the seedcoat or passes to the cotyledons when the seed germinates, and so infection of the young plant results.
The bacterium can remain viable for several years beneath the seedcoat.
The disease is severe under conditions of high rainfall and humidity, with maximum development around 28°C. Dissemination in the field occurs in wind-driven rain, and insects.

Symptoms first appear as dark, water-soaked leaf spots, up to 3 mm in diameter and sometimes surrounded by a broad lemon-coloured halo. No lesions have been observed on stems or leaf stalks. When these pathogenic bacteria enter the leaves through wounds or natural openings like stomates they multiply rapidly and induce the formation of lesions. The lesions, which are watersoaked at first, soon become brown and dry and are usually surrounded by a yellow halo. When many lesions grow together, large areas of dead leaf tissue may develop. The halo is actually caused by a toxin that is produced by the bacteria within the lesion. As the toxin diffuses out into the leaf tissue it causes breakdown of chlorophyll and creates the halo. When toxin from infected leaves is translocated to the growing point of the shoot, the new leaves that develop are often stunted and chlorotic.
Cajanus cajan, Lablab purpureus, Macroptilium spp., Phaseolus coccineus, P. lunatus, P.vulgaris, Pueraria spp., Vigna angularis, V. radiata, Neonotonia wightii. Isolates of the pathovar are categorised into three races on the basis of the reactions of a range of differential bean cultivars.
Worldwide (Anonymous, 1973). In temperate climatic conditions and in the tropics at medium to high altitudes (1000-2500 m). Race 3 of the pathogen has been found only in East and Central Africa.
Cell of the pathogen are single, straight rods and move by multitrichous polar flagellar. They are Gram-negative and strictly aerobic. The optimal growth temperature is 20 - 23o and on agar the bacterium produces white to cream coloured colonies wich exhibit a bluish tinge and often a green fluorescent pigment. P. syringae pv. phaseolicola survives in infected seeds and in vegetable(plant) residues in the surface of the soil until the environmental conditions are propitious for the development of the infection.

The disease is characterizates by water-soaked lesions on young growth especially young leaves, petioles and terminals, progressing to bliht, necrosis, dieback and defoliation. Necroticspots develop on older leaves and flowering and seed productions may be severely reduced.
Centrosema sp. (C. acutifolium, C. pubescens, C. brasilianum, C. macrocarpum, C. schiedeanum and C. virginianum), Allium, Brassica, Phaseolus sp., Solanum spp., Leucaena leucocephala.
Although the species is normally considered to be a saprophyte, Biotipe II causes root rots and leaf blights on a range of hostd, including legumes. It is distinguished from other fluorescent pseudomonas by the following characterisitic: more than one polar flagellum, no poyocyanin or carotenoid pigments produced, no growth at 41o C, gelatin hydrolysed but not starch and utilization of a wide range of carbon sources. Disease is favoured by high relative humidity and moderately high temperatures. The bacterium can survive unfavourable periods on affected plants and soil for as long as 6 weeks. The bacterium is seed-borne and levels of infections as high as 32 % have been found in seed lots of C. acutifolium.

Seedlings are stunted, wilted and usually die. In some plants the affected parts are dull green in colour and sometimes breaking of the stems. Infected pods show discoloured sutures and may show yellowish areas.
Foliar interveinal chlorosis and necrosis. When the lower stem and root are cut longitudinally and observed, the vascular system is often discolored brown to black. The younger the plant becomes infected, the more severe the damage to the plant. Seedlings are frequently severely stunted or killed. If plants survive to maturity, seeds may show yellow or purple discoloration.
Seeds of white-seeded cultivars, when infected systemically, are bright-yellow; in cultivars with coloured seed coats, the coloration is less conspicuous. There may be a little yellow slime at the hilum, and seeds may be variously shrivelled. The colour mutants, aurantiacum and violaceum, produce an orange and purple discoloration, respectively, in the seedcoat.
Lablab purpureus, Phaseolus coccineus, Phaseolus lunatus, Phaseolus vulgaris, Vigna angularis, Vigna unguiculata, Zornia spp. and possibly Glycine max.
EPPO region: Recorded in Albania, Ukraine. Found but not established in Greece and Hungary; locally established in Bulgaria (unconfirmed), Romania, Tunisia, Turkey (unconfirmed), Russia (Far East, Southern Russia; only on soyabean) and Yugoslavia. Reports from Belgium (OEPP/EPPO, 1982), France, Germany and Switzerland have not been substantiated.
Asia: Russia (Far East), Turkey (unconfirmed).
North America: Canada (Ontario), Mexico (unconfirmed), USA (first reported in 1920, especially in irrigated high plains and Midwest, but not reported since early 1970s except in Iowa on soyabeans; Hall, 1991.

Oceania: Australia (New South Wales, Queensland, South Australia, Victoria).
Europe: Present (Belgium, Bulgaria, Greece, Hungary, Romania, Yugoslavia.
Seed transmitted externally or internally in Phaseolus vulgaris and possibly in Glycine max. The pathogen can survive from 5 to 24 years in seeds.
Seed is the most important means of survival and spread. The bacteria can overwinter on weeds or in crop debris in the field. In the field it has been known to survive in soil for at least two winters between bean crops rotated with wheat. There are no reports of vectors, but the nematode Meloidogyne incognita may assist entry by providing wounds.
C. flaccumfaciens pv. flaccumfaciens can infect in the absence of rain; it has not been observed to enter via stomata. Once within the plant, the bacterium colonizes the vascular tissue.

So What is Happening with Premiums in Exchange-Land?
Hard to figure out what is really happening with premiums for health insurance purchased on the reform law exchanges.
Seems obvious, but a Health Affairs study confirms that premiums on the insurance exchanges are higher when fewer plans participate.
A new analysis from Avalere finds staggering rises in the Silver, or benchmarking, level health plan premiums on the insurance exchanges.
A study in Health Affairs confirms that using a limited provider network results in lower premiums, around 7% less on average, for plans on the health insurance exchanges, but many consumers are unaware of the consequences of a limited network, which may not include their usual providers, and that 7% doesn't seem like much in light of the horrendous premium rises expected for 2017.

HOMILY THEME: THE GIFT OF LOVE – WHAT IS LOVE? WHAT LOVE IS NOT.
HOMILY: (1) LOVE IS NUMBER ONE. LOVE DOES NOT LIE.
(2) LOVE COVERS ALL EVIL.
(3) LOVE IS THE EXACT OPPOSITE OF HATE.
(4) LOVE DOES NOT SHARE BOARDERS WITH GRUDGES, JEALOUSY & REVENGE.
(5) LOVE FORGETS OFFENSES EASILY.
(6) LOVE DOES NOT OPPRESS AND INTIMIDATE THOSE UNDER US.
(7) LOVE DOES NOT REMEMBER THE PAST UGLY ENCOUNTERS WITH ‘ENEMIES’.
(8) LOVE “EMBARRASSES” UNFRIENDLY COMRADES AND LEAVES UNDELETABLE FOOT PRINTS AS IT “FOOLISHLY” EMBRACES ‘ENEMIES’.
(9) LOVE GROWS BY GIVING.
(10) LOVE DIMINISHES, GROWS COLD WHEN “SELF” DOMINATES.
These are some of the activities of LOVE and makes this virtue “NUMBER ONE”. It is the most difficult ‘TOPIC” to handle. WE PREACHERS MOST OFTEN CONTRADICT OURSELVES WHEN WE MENTION THE WORD ‘LOVE” AND FOR MANY PREACHERS IT IS BEST TO IGNORE THE MESSAGE OF LOVE! BUT IS IT THE WAY OUT? NEVER! THE WORST IS TO ACCEPT DEFEAT!
