I haven’t been sleeping well lately. There’s a lot going on and I’m caught up in too much brain activity. After several restless nights, of course I began to think about ME/CFS.
I remember when the exhaustion was so pervasive. I had a mental flashback to the lowest days of my ME/CFS years when even holding a glass of water was beyond my strength and the brain fog was so thick that I couldn’t remember my thoughts for more then a moment or two. It was long days of running on total empty.
It wasn’t until I understood the role that sleep deprivation was playing in my struggle with ME/CFS that I began to improve. We dissected everything about my nights in order to improve my sleep – Comfort, light, sound, timing and medication. We tweaked and tweaked. When we finally got it right, I was getting about 6 hours of solid, uninterrupted sleep every night.
So yesterday I tweaked a few things in my current sleep environment and I finally slept for 7 hours last night. Even my active brain couldn’t keep my body from finally getting some needed rest. This morning I felt a little more energy and gratitude for the hard earned lessons of my past.
I recently received an e-mail from a someone who has been struggling with ME/CFS for several years. Like many of us, he has been given the ‘go home and have hope speech’, has gone to the high-priced medical clinic to no avail, and has been treated by compassionate practitioners who haven’t been able to help him either.
Now, he’s as sick as he was at the beginning. Square One. SO Frustrating. And SUCH a familiar story. So many of us have gone this route of exploring every path we can think of knowing that we have a real physical illness. And only making small inroads. Glimmers of hope that eventually fade. And often, we find ourselves back at Square One.
If you’ve read my book, you know that when I got back to square one that was when we decided to turn me into a lab rat. I literally spent a year in bed on a fixed schedule no matter how I was feeling. I allowed myself to increase my activity - in very small increments - only when I had a solid period of time without any problems. This was in many ways torture for a type A like me. But I stuck to the plan because everything else had failed. I stopped looking for the miracle and focused on unraveling the clues to my own version of ME/CFS.
The biggest obstacle I had was allowing me to be sick. To be a patient. To commit to giving up functioning for a while in order to get a normal life back down the road. And I think I needed to waste all the other time on those other paths. It drove home the point that I wasn't getting anywhere going at this half heartedly. Those were wasted years anyway so what was one more year if it paid off? I know that this is not an option for many people because of responsibilities. But somehow, it’s important to relinquish our need to find the ‘silver bullet’ and get focused on figuring out how to get well.
How do you deal with the struggle between getting well again and also having a life? Please COMMENT on this blog or Send in your thoughts and I’ll post them with your permission. You can use the Contact Form or send an email to Martha at DefeatCFS dot net. And Guest Blogs are most welcome!

BMW has rewritten the script for 2014, as the ever-popular 3-Series becomes a sedan-only lineup, while coupes and convertibles gain a new moniker: the 4-Series.
The all-new 4-Series is larger cars overall than the 3-Series, with an increased wheelbase and wider stance but also a lower profile. Clean, flowing exterior lines carry on the BMW design language, while trademark elements like the twin kidney bean grille and Hoffmeister Kink at the C-pillar base further the marque's illustrious history. The 4-Series also has the lowest center of gravity of any BMW, making it one of the most athletic series in the range.
Two 4-Series trim levels are offered, covering both the coupe and convertible: the 428i and the 435i. The 428i comes powered by a turbocharged 2.0L 4-cylinder that produces 240-horsepower, while the 435i features a turbocharged 3.0L inline-6 engine delivering 300 horsepower. Standard on both cars is an 8-speed automatic transmission, though a 6-speed manual is a no-cost option. Both cars come standard with rear-wheel drive but can be equipped with BMW's capable xDrive all-wheel-drive system.
4-Series coupes and convertibles come very nicely equipped with Star Spoke alloy wheels, adaptive Xenon headlights with auto-leveling, halogen fog lights, rain-sensing windshield wipers, 8-way power front seats with driver's side memory, a split fold-down rear seat, burled walnut wood trim, automatic climate control, a multi-function sport steering wheel with audio and cruise controls, Bluetooth hands-free connectivity, iDrive, and more. Driving features include dynamic cruise control, stability control, traction control, brake fade compensation and dynamic brake control.
The convertible features a 3-piece power retractable hardtop, which takes just 20 seconds to cycle. The top features advanced soundproofing via a "noise-absorbing" headliner, which ensures a quiet, comfortable ride in all weather conditions.
Nearly limitless options allow for total personalization of the 4-Series. Chief among them are Luxury Line, Sport Line and M Line. Luxury Line adds different alloy wheels, a choice of alternative wood trims with metal inlays and a choice of leather seating. Sport Line adds a choice high-gloss black, brushed aluminum, or anthracite wood trim black and improved seating surfaces. Finally, M Line offers an aerodynamic kit, M steering wheel, sport seats, added exterior color choices and high-performance M suspension.
Other packages include a Cold Weather Pack, with heated seats and steering wheel, a Technology Package, with touchpad navigation, improved instrumentation, head-up display, and BMW apps and a Dynamic Handling Package, with variable sport steering and adaptive M suspension.
The BMW 4-Series is an all-new model for 2014, available as a 2-door coupe or convertible. The cars replace the 3-Series coupe and convertible models. The 4-Series is offered as both the 428i, with a 240-hp turbocharged 2.0L 4-cylinder, and as the 435i, with a 300-hp turbocharged 3.0L inline-6 engine. Both engines can be paired with either a standard 8-speed automatic transmission, or a no-cost optional 6-speed manual. BMW claims the 435i coupe will do 0?60 mph in just 5 seconds when equipped with the automatic, while the 428i coupe hits the mark in 5.7 seconds. Both trims come with rear-wheel drive but can be equipped with BMW's capable xDrive all-wheel-drive system.
The 428i coupe is priced from $41,425, while the 435i starts at $46,925. MSRP for the 428i convertible is stated at $49,675, while the 435i convertible starts at $55,825.
The new BMW 4-Series coupe picks up where last year's 3-Series coupe left off. The 4-Series expertly blends a sporty, spirited driving dynamic with visual appeal, high-quality materials and precise craftsmanship to offer an exclusive feel at an inviting point of entry. The premium coupe market is a crowded one, with established rivals like the Audi A5, Mercedes-Benz C-Class coupes and INFINITI Q60 all vying for attention. With a convertible model due later in the year and a performance-focused M variant likely on the horizon, the 4-Series is the most exciting offering from Bavaria in a long time.

The Kalavasos-Tenta Archaeological Site (also known simply as the Tenta Settlement) is located near Kalavasos Village in the Larnaca district. This neolithic settlement was discovered in 1947 by Pophyrios Dikaios and excavated from 1976 to 1984.
The settlement seems to have been peacefully abandoned for reasons unknown. The village is approximately contemporary with the nearby site at Choirokoitia, although the precise relationship is uncertain. The circular houses of the village, built of stone and mud-brick, cluster on the upper part of a natural hill. At least for part of its duration, the settlement was surrounded by a substantial stone wall, probably with a mud-brick superstructure, and a ditch cut in the natural limestone outside the wall. The roofs of the domestic buildings may have been variously flat of domed, and the internal piers in some of the buildings probably served to support an upper wooden floor. Most of the structures were probably domestic in nature. A complex of structures on the west side of the top of the site may also have been of special significance. The inhabitants of the village, perhaps numbering no more than 150.
Following tradition, the site's name dates back to 327 AD, when Saint Helen stayed in a tent in the area, during her visit to Cyprus. Of course, the name is enhanced by the tent-like structure currently covering the ancient ruins.

Dimensions: 9.5" x 6.5" x 1.25"
A signed limited edition that has been personally autographed by Sir Edmund Hillary.
The Easton Press, Norwalk, Connecticut 1999. Hardcover Signed Limited Edition. Full dark Green leather with gilt design, all edges gilt, silk endpages, bound-in silk ribbon marker. Contains COA (Certificate of Authenticity) from The Easton Press and Collector's Notes.
Hillary writes "This is the story of my life, condensing 79 years of vigorous activity into a few hundred pages. My views may not always coincide with the stories of my companions, but this is the way I clearly saw things at the time". Illustrated with maps, 63 color photographs and 23 black & white photographs. Index. 310 pgs.
On May 29th, 1953 Edmund Hillary, a 33-year-old beekeeper from New Zealand, and his Sherpa Tenzing Norgay stepped onto the summit of Mt. Everest and secured a place in the annals of world exploration. Prior to 1953, no one knew if it was even possible to climb this mountain and it had long been the "Holy Grail" of mountain climbers. In 1951, a possible route up the south slope had been discovered. Hillary descended Everest to find that he had become a living legend. He then went on to become the world's greatest living explorer. His monumental achievements also include the first trans-Antarctic expedition to the South Pole. Truly a legend in his own time, Hillary penned High Adventure. It is the definitive and very entertaining memoir of his Himalayan quest. He describes in vivid detail the agonizing and perilous climb. This is a wonderful book to read and is also a very fine collector's book.
More than four decades after Hillary looked down from Everest's 29,000 feet, his impact is still felt -- in our fascination with the perils and triumphs of mountain climbing, and in today's phenomenon of extreme sports. The call to adventure is alive and real on every page of this gripping memoir.--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
Following his ascent of Everest, Hillary devoted himself to assisting the Sherpa people of Nepal through the Himalayan Trust, which he established. His efforts are credited with the construction of many schools and hospitals in Nepal. From 1985 to 1988 he served as New Zealand's High Commissioner to India and Bangladesh and concurrently as Ambassador to Nepal. Hillary had numerous honours conferred upon him, including the Order of the Garter in 1995. Upon his death in 2008, he was given a state funeral in New Zealand.

Ben Bernanke testified before the Senate Banking Committee this morning to discuss monetary policy and his outlook for the economy.But things got heated when Tennessee Senator Bob Corker when on the attack, calling him an uber-dove who was putting the Fed’s balance sheet at risk.
Bernanke, however, swiftly rebuked, and went on to defend his track record.
Sen. Corker: I don’t think there’s any question that you would be the biggest dove, if you will, since World War II. I think that’s something you’re rather proud of…Do you all ever talk about the longer term degrading effect of these policies as we try to live for today?
If we tried to raise interest rates to three, four or five per cent while the economy is still weak, it could not be sustained. Our economy is not strong enough to sustain real high real returns to savers. If we tried to do that we would throw our economy back into recession and we would have low interest rates like the Japanese do.
CORKER: Yeah. Do you concern yourself with the whole notion of being perceived? You know, we watch regulatory capture take place where basically the regulators end up working for the people that they regulate. We had TARP, which most people felt like that was a needed thing during a crisis. And then we had an easy money policy which really allowed the big institutions especially on Wall Street to reap tremendous benefits in the early stages without doing anything.
And then you’re getting ready, I guess, in a few years as you alluded to when interest rates rise to basically have to print money to sell securities at losses, and then pay to sell secures at losses and the pay interest on reserves which people have pointed out and I think you all talk about is going to be billions and billion of dollars going to these institutions that again you regulate. Do you concern yourself at all with the Fed being viewed as not as independent as it used to be?
CORKER: Oh yes they are.
BERNANKE: Well. So to take the case of paying interest on reserves in the exit, No.1, that is beneficial for the taxpayer because, on the lefthand side of the balance sheet is reserves, but on the right hand side is the securities that we hold, which pay a higher interest rate than the reserves. So by doing that we actually make a profit, which we remit to the treasury. We’re not helping the banks.
BERNANKE: We’re going to be paying market rates. we’re going to be paying exactly what you’re getting on the repo market, the commercial paper market, anywhere else. There’s no subsidy involved.

text: 'Barbarism and Religion' - Edward Gibbon's own phrase - is the title of a sequence of works by John Pocock designed to situate Gibbon, and his Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, in a series of contexts in the history of eighteenth-century Europe. In the fourth volume in the sequence, first published in 2005, Pocock argues that barbarism was central to the history of western historiography, to the history of the Enlightenment, and to Edward Gibbon himself. As a concept it was deeply problematic to Enlightened historians seeking to understand their own civilised societies in the light of exposure to newly discovered civilisations which were, until then, beyond the reach of history itself.

A Los Osos woman has filed a lawsuit seeking $36,000 to replace six pounds of medical marijuana the San Luis Obispo County Sheriff’s Department seized from her home and then destroyed.
Before 1988, Kimberly Marshall worked in the foreclosure industry. Her life changed after she was given a blood transfusion contaminated with hepatitis.
In addition, a car accident left Marshall with two herniated discs, a fractured disc and a broken disc. Marshall has endured two back surgeries, has constant pain and for days at a time is bedridden. Unable to bend down to tie her shoes, she wears slip-ons.
The 46-year-old single parent refuses to take the eight Vicodin a day she is currently prescribed, selecting instead to use medical cannabis to kill the pain and reduce the nausea.
On March 31, sheriff’s deputies searched Marshall’s house based on her son’s probation status following a teenage head butting incident. Even though Marshall was not at home during the search, deputies opened a locked cabinet in her room and discovered two containers of medical cannabis.
Marshall’s son informed deputies the medical cannibals they found belonged to his mother. After concerned neighbors phoned Marshall about the search, she immediately phoned the deputies at her home and told them the marijuana was hers.
During the call, Marshall said the deputy informed her that the sheriff’s department would return her medication after she provided them with the proper paperwork. Marshall provided the paperwork, as requested.
However, on August 3, Sheriff’s Deputy David Walker asked the district attorney’s office to prosecute Marshall for possession. He noted in his request that she had provided him with a physician’s statement that allowed her to possess up to six pounds of dried marijuana buds.
On August 28, Marshall also provided the San Luis Obispo County District Attorney’s office with documentation of her physician’s recommendation and state medical marijuana card. A few days later, the district attorney rejected the sheriff’s request for prosecution based on her medical defense.
On Sept. 2, sheriff officials asked the district attorney’s office to request an order to destroy Marshall’s cannabis, alleging that it was not medical marijuana.
“To the best of my knowledge, there has not been any request for return of medical marijuana for medical reasons …, each case of medical marijuana was reviewed and determined not to be for medical purposes,” said Sheriff’s Deputy Jerry McDaniel in his request.
On Oct. 9, San Luis Obispo Superior Court Judge Dodie Harmon ordered Marshall’s property to be disposed of or destroyed by the sheriff’s department. A week later, unaware of the order, Marshall’s attorney, Harold Meskick, filed a motion for return of his client’s medical marijuana.
In response to the request, County Counsel informed Meskick that the property had been destroyed.
“As far as I understand the factual background, the sheriff’s department has no record of your client’s possession of a physician’s statement,” said Deputy County Counsel Ann Duggan, the sheriff’s department’s legal advisor, in the letter to Meskick.
Duggan did not return requests for comment.
“The sheriff and the county were aware that under California law the Sheriff was compelled to return the claimant’s property in the absence of pending criminal action,” Koory said in the civil claim filed on Dec. 23.
In 2008, following a contempt of court action, the sheriff’s department was forced to return Craig Steffens’ medical cannabis to him. Steffens’ pot was seized after he was discovered smoking it outside the San Luis Obispo courthouse, even though he produced a state medical marijuana user card.
Bryn went on to question the legality of Marshall possessing six pounds of marijuana.
In response, Marshall said that she uses the medical marijuana in a number of ways that require a greater amount of the plant such as making butter from it, vaporizing the buds and making a poultice to treat muscle aches. Marshall, who goes through approximately six pounds of cannabis every 18 months, notes that buying marijuana in bulk is a cost saver.
This (deputies) sounds like the SLO cops that arrived at the hispanic mans house with the gun in his pocket and they arrested him. The only differenced I can tell so far is that they didn’t hold Ms. Marshall’s eyes open to pepper spray her.
Well at least not to the best of our knowledge so far.
What was the sheriff doing searching Marshall’s home to begin with. If someone is on parole the parole officer has a right to search the space where that person is living, they can not search other peoples rooms but only te common areas and the parole’s private space. In this case the son didn’t live at Marshall’s house and was no longer on parole. He was simply feeding the dogs while Marshall was away on vacation. The sheriff went into Marshall’s private bed room and unlocked a cabinet, then took the MM. That action, in of itself , should be enough for a successful law suit. The misbehavior by this LEO is infuriating, we need a citizens review board NOW.
As cheseburger pointed out, why does the sheriff department refer to marijuana as dope? Marijuana is not a chemical concoction that is brewed up in a lab, it is a natural product that grows like, well, weed, hence the nickname. Medical Marijuana is LEGAL by California State Law! What the hell is so frickin’ hard for the sheriff’s department to understand? The Sheriff’s Department is charged with enforcing the laws of the State of California, not federal laws exclusively, so let’s see if we can get them to FOLLOW THE STATE LAW! I intend to question each candidate for Sheriff as to their intention concerning Medical Marijuana and will make my decision based on their response to this issue. Enough already with ignoring STATE LAW. I hope this lady is successful in her lawsuit.
Another example of good old boy justice served up before the judgment day, and is this stuff medicine or not? Why do they still call it dope! Example, Rob Bryn, spokesman for the San Luis Obispo County Sheriff’s Department said in so many words,These are personal attacks by the marijuana lobbyists because,,,,we have been the point of the spear? If this defendant,didn’t get their dope back, there is another reason?, Duh, like maybe the department screwed up again, and destroyed her personal property, 98 pounds and can’t eat because you are sick, have a heart and get educated as per the effects of cannabis, it increases appetite and raises one’s moral and will to live, under such extremely debilitating conditions such as the “DEFENDANT’S” medical conditions.
The State Government calls it medicine, the sheriffs, should follow the law, and do the same!
This seems to continue a SLO Sheriff’s department pattern of behavior of questionable property seizures. Which may be part of a larger pattern of abrogating many citizen’s rights including the right to life. Do we forget the two men shot in the back in separate incidents and the deputy’s award of commendation?
The sheriff and D/A’s offices are showing their idiocy with the juvenile obsession with marijuana use. It’s lazy ‘enforcement’ to earn brownie-points from peccadilloes. It’s always entertaining to hear the ignorant rants of Rob Brynn. How about an expose on Rob’s illustrious career climb?
I will be on the Dave Congalton KVEC show at 5 p.m. to discuss this issue. Turn your radio to 920 AM or listen live at http://www.920kvec.com.

The music is mostly the product of careful , relying less heavily on jamming. The music offers a dynamic combination between ancient-traditional music of the West and synthesised sonic soundscapes. Thus, in the nineties you have a revival of the prog scene not only with the appearance of a new sub-genre : metal prog but also with bands playing the styles developed in the seventies. Not all of the bands that have been a part of the history and development of progressive rock are necessarily progressive rock bands themselves. This is a style lacking in strict definitions, and it is contested whether or not the term was actually used at what is deemed the dawn of the genre. Many music styles are what they are by transforming something about prior music theory.
Some types of music are also called world music. These three bands were very much part of the prog-rock scene without being total prog-rock bands them selves. The history talks about a legendary warrior that in the past won a war versus an Alien Eldren and then he is reincarnated in a ordinary person that needs to remember all the past life of this warrior in order to win the battle again. The basic building blocks of Math Rock can be traced back to the late 60's and 70's where Progressive Rock artists were making more elaborate compositions than the standard rock bands and were experimenting with song structures. Texas-born guitarist Coryell was also a pioneer of jazz in the same era. Allusions to, or even direct quotes from, well-known classical themes are common.
Any Prog characteristics in music theory?
As a result, progressive rock songs depart from such youth-oriented themes as violence, nihilism, rebellion, anti-adulthood, and the macabre. For example, Yes' Close to the Edge is divided into four parts, Rush's 2112 into seven, Pink Floyd's Shine On You Crazy Diamond into nine. So, I got to wondering. When the percussion stops, things get very psychedelic with a droning guitar and hissing cymbals surrounded by effects. This of course continues from there, for instance in the 60s you could hear Debussy and Ravel in the solos of Herbie Hancock and Bill Evans, or today you can hear Steve Reich in the work of Craig Taborn. Around 1975, I saw Yes at the University of Michigan stadium with some 30,000 in attendance.
A typical progressive song might have a form such as: Introduction-Verse-Chorus-instrumental section-New verse-New chorus-Instrumental section-Ending. Progressive rock bands may have influences from psychedelic rock, folk music, traditional music, world music, and jazz or jazz fusion. Most normal rock songs follow a very simple in the way they are arranged. While the explosion of bands exploring this style is a rather recent phenomenon, there are some instances of this occurring very early in the lifespan of the post-metal genre as a whole. As far as music theory goes, I don't think its possible to come up with anything new anymore, just new untried combinations such as micro-tonal metal, or odd-metered cumbia, bi-tonal swing or hip-hop gamelin etc. From the 1990s alternative rock began to rock music and break through into the mainstream in the form of grunge, Britpop. One way of conceptualising rock and roll in relation to music is that progressive music pushed the genre into greater complexity while retracing the roots of romantic 2.
Those who search beyond the surface will discover that the most daring and provocative works were often made by more obscure groups who released one fantastic album and then vanished into thin air. The Academy has students from over 50 countries, following diverse programmes including instrumental performance, conducting, composition, jazz, musical theatre, the Academy has an established relationship with Kings College London, particularly the Department of Music, whose students receive instrumental tuition at the Academy. While the Neo-Progressive genre initially consisted of artists exploring a modernized version of Symphonic Prog, these days artists coined as Neo-Progressive cover a multitude of musical expressions, where the common denominator is the inclusion - within a progressive rock framework - of musical elements developed just prior to and after 1980. There are currently 5 members in the band which includes 2 guitarists, one of which sings vocals, a bassist, drummer and percussionist. The number of casualties due to terror acts and rioting was quite high, involving people from all walks of life. Re Hackett Fan Re Modal jazz: Modal jazz was a reaction to the increasing difficulties of playing bebop.
From at least as early as the 13th century through the 15th century there was a division of instruments into haut, during the earlier medieval period, the vocal music from the liturgical genre, predominantly Gregorian chant, was monophonic, using a single, unaccompanied vocal melody line. Famous people who have conducted the Academys orchestra also include Carl Maria Von Weber in 1826, for many years, the Academy celebrated the work of a living composer with a festival in the presence of the composer. The countrified drum sound and beat is really bothering me. The psychedelic cultural explosion had an immense influence on the western popular culture, and traces of it can still be heard also outside of progressive rock circles. Nevertheless their music is quite demanding to play and contains many elements of serious classical composition and form. Nevertheless, I think you may be right, however my preferred explanation is that it is probably due to Prog not really being an actual style per se.
Hope this post will help to clarify the differences and the characteristics of a music genre that is still gathering, after many decades, attentions of the public and of musicians world-wide. These large-scale compositions are similar to , but there is typically more thematic unity between the sections. It is actually the first part of a trilogy that continues into the following track 'Lost Chronicles', which begins with piano effect and synths. Negative opinions are not solicited nor warranted. This of course continues from there, for instance in the 60s you could hear Debussy and Ravel in the solos of Herbie Hancock and Bill Evans, or today you can hear Steve Reich in the work of Craig Taborn. The chorus usually has a phrase and a key lyrical line which is repeated 10.
There are some common elements that are in most progressive rock band music, such as long, complex songs, unusual time signatures, unusual instruments or ways of using them, and use of , which means making up or inventing music while playing on stage. In 1972, after Ehart returned from England, he and Hope once again reformed White Clover with Robby Steinhardt, Steve Walsh, in 1973 they recruited Livgren from the second Kansas group, which then folded. Jazz developed a manner of playing leads over progressions such that those leads often changed scales and keys with every chord. These clubs were usually urban in location, but the songs sung in them often hearkened back to a rural pre-industrial past, in many ways this was the adoption of abandoned popular music by the middle classes. This is not to say that much great music is not still being produced in this style. Bebop tended to move at a fast clip and there was a new chord every bar, or sometimes two to a bar, requiring a person to be constantly switching up scales etc.

One of the biggest challenges we face as fitness bootcamp instructors and group personal trainers is getting clients to show up and stick around long enough to get results.
It is annoying when your clients lack commitment and don’t show up for training consistently.
You worry that new clients will join your group and find your workouts too difficult (or too easy).
And it’s frustrating that people won’t persist with their program long enough to realise the benefits.
Bootcamp Workout Ideas Professional Edition solves all of these problems.
Thanks to an overload of unimaginative ‘sets and reps’ workout programs, many people have come to regard exercise as a tedious yet necessary evil. When clients skip training sessions, it usually isn’t because they lack commitment. It’s because they are bored.
Now you can change all that.
Bootcamp Workout Ideas Professional Edition contains an entire library of highly-addictive workouts bursting with fresh, original ideas. Every drill is a gateway drug that will transform your clients into outdoor training junkies who never miss a session.
It’s a fact that your clients all have different levels of fitness and ability. Ignore this and some people will find training with you excruciating while others write you off as lame and laughable.
Fortunately, you no longer have to fret about that.
Every single workout in this group outdoor personal training system has been designed so that each individual works at an intensity that is just right for them. It doesn’t matter whether they are a couch potato or an elite athlete.
They’re going to get a personalised training experience for a fraction of what they would pay a 1-1 trainer. How’s that for giving you a unique point of difference?
The workouts presented here have been organised into a constantly varied PT program of self-limiting drills based on compound movements: A formula that has been proven to deliver long-lasting, sustainable results and avoid training plateaus.
With this program, your clients begin to notice physical adaptations almost immediately. They will feel like each and every training session is bringing them one step closer to their fitness goal.
100% Satisfaction Guarantee. Secure Checkout.
I spent years and thousands of dollars perfecting this group outdoor personal training system so you can relax, spend less time planning and more time training.
Every single workout has been tested in the field on real people by myself and by hundreds of qualified personal trainers.
Simply deliver the program as prescribed and you’ll get relief and peace of mind knowing that your clients are going to get results far faster than they would if they were training on their own.
Every member or your group will get a personal training experience that feels unique to them. No one gets left behind or drifts out ahead.
It’s one of the reasons why trainers who deliver these workouts retain their clients three times longer than those who do not.
Professional trainers are always well prepared and understand exactly how long each drill takes to complete.
Your clients can tell when you don’t know what you’re doing – and cutting drills short or running late will undermine their confidence in your ability.
Now you can command respect and look good in front of your clients by confidently ending sessions on time, every time.
Did you know that how you deliver your training sessions is just as important as planning them properly?
Many of these workouts include insider tips from military PTIs and elite sports team coaches. Street-wise strategies that only the top pro’s know and you won’t learn from PT certifications.
Follow these tips and gain confidence to control any size group – and quickly earn yourself a reputation as the go-to fitness coach in your community.
50 original workouts scaled for all fitness levels. With insider tips straight from Australia’s top military and civilian PTIs. Literally thousands of hours in the field have been condensed into the most effective bunch of group workouts on the market today.
Each workout has a unique structure and flow, and includes the essential ingredient that ensures all participants finish this workout together. It is this esprit de corps that makes us all feel good afterwards and keeps clients coming back for more.

No one gets left behind.
This e-Manual is my personal favourite. You are going to love the new ideas and advancements. Over 200 workouts were tried and tested on real groups of clients to select the 50 that are presented here.
Start a fitness bootcamp today! All you need are these 25 bodyweight-only workouts, some cheap plastic markers and a handful of inexpensive jump ropes. Exact timings for each drill are included, along with exercise progressions and regressions so that you look professional every time.
Train in the rain. You don’t have to cart dirty, muddy equipment around. The workouts are based entirely on bodyweight exercises and were specifically designed to be done in all weathers. Now you can train outdoors, no matter what time of year it is.

Don’t let your client’s poor technique get in the way of a good workout!
These 25 group boxing workouts follow a proven formula that separates the teaching from the training. Giving you absolute confidence that each individual in your group will train at an intensity that is just right for them.
Little to no skill and co-ordination is required from participants during the main workout segment. And the self-limiting nature of plyometric bodyweight exercises enables individuals to train at a very high level of intensity relative to their ability – without the need for any extra equipment.
The electronic field manuals in Bootcamp Workout Ideas Professional Edition are widely regarded by fitness industry leaders as the gold standard for group outdoor personal training and fitness bootcamps.
Investing in Bootcamp Workout Ideas Professional Edition will make planning and creating bootcamp workouts of your own extremely quick and easy.
You’ll understand the principles behind intelligent program design for groups and your clients will reward your commitment by making more referrals.
Furthermore, many trainers tell me they notice an instant response from their clients as they become more committed and begin to look forward to every session as a new experience.
I believe that exercising outdoors in a group is the most effective way to prevent and cure modern lifestyle diseases such as obesity, hypertension, decrepitude and depression.
Research backs this up. A 2011 study concluded that compared with exercising indoors, exercising in natural environments was associated with greater feelings of revitalisation, increased energy and positive engagement, together with decreases in tension, confusion, anger and depression.
We all love someone whose quality of life is being impacted right now by these avoidable illnesses. As personal fitness trainers and coaches, we can do something about it.
My goal in publishing this program is to make it as easy and rewarding as possible for you to offer a fun and effective group outdoor fitness program to your clients.
Bootcamp Workout Ideas Professional Edition comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee, so you can try it completely risk free.
“I personally GUARANTEE Kaizen Outdoor Fitness electronic field manuals are better than any other bootcamp workout resource that you’ll find anywhere.
Why? Because firstly, they are structured training programs based on the scientific principles of general physical preparedness. Second, we use proven physical training methods used by the military and top sports team coaches. And third, I have actually tested them in the field on real groups of civilians.
Don’t take any chances. Just deliver the programs exactly as prescribed and your clients will not only enjoy training with you, they will get results too.

Saturday evening, August 10, 2013 e.v.
Neither East nor West. Neither the house of dawn, nor the house of dusk, neither the realm of beginnings nor the realm of endings; neither here nor there, neither black nor white, neither the past nor the future, neither the old nor the new. We find ourselves in transit; in the interstices, the in-between places, partaking of partialities, gradients, nuances, and transients. Familiar things pass away, and strange, new things confront us, leaving us excited, but also perhaps somewhat unsure, insecure, and anxious. We feel well rid of some of the old, and we welcome some of the new–but not all, necessarily.
In the face of the insecurity of the impermanence that confronts us, comfort and courage can often be found in belonging to, and identifying with, an institution that is anchored, to some extent, in history and tradition, and which exhibits the size and strength to endure into the future. We want to be a part of something larger than ourselves. It is a natural human impulse, one not lightly to be dismissed. I daresay this is why many of us are here tonight. It is, in fact, I think, one of the very foundations of human culture, and we see this tendency everywhere, manifesting in mysticism as well as in a propensity to gather together in tribes of various sorts.
A “tribe,” as I’m using the term here, can be any defined association of people, whether they are united by real ties–such as genetics, economic interdependence, physical proximity, religious belief, political ideology, or actual friendship; or completely imaginary ties–such as one’s preferred football team or brand of merchandise, or what kind of food one likes or toys one collects; or even the particular disposition of one’s first name and facial hair.
I’m not here to denounce this very human trait. It’s here to stay, and it’s really not all bad. In fact, I doubt life would be very pleasant without it–I’ve talked about the need for community several times before. However, like all good things, it can be taken too far. You can usually tell when this has happened when it starts making people stupid. And this seems to happen fairly regularly with various tribalistic associations, because it’s so easy for us to lose ourselves in them, as we self-define ourselves less and less on the basis of introspection and personal insight, and more and more on the basis of the reflected norms and expectations and paradigms and needs and standards and examples of the tribe–especially when the tribe finds itself faced with its own challenges such as change or stagnation.
The journey from East to West is made by all things, not just us as individuals, but by mountains, oceans, stars, and galaxies; and even associations and institutions such as cultures, religions, magical orders, corporations, and model airplane clubs. And this can be disturbing to us when we use these things as anchors for our identity against the currents of impermanence. And as our various tribes rise and fall in relative prominence and vitality, such disturbance can result in competition and conflict.
Conflict can be very energizing and focusing to the tribal consciousness. Real or perceived threats to the tribe’s prestige and status among the other tribes can be a matter of great concern; still more so real or perceived threats to the tribe’s collective identity as it defines itself.
When tribes, or sub-tribes, go beyond friendly competition into the realm of hostility, such factors as logic and enlightened self-interest tend to become buried under layers of jingoism and rhetorical smoke. This is where ideas are evaluated on the basis of who has proposed them, rather than on their actual merits. This is where snarl-words and fearful labels and images are evoked and programmed to attack. This is where association becomes proof of guilt, and where assumptions and doubts are deemed equivalent to evidence. This is where suspicion and prejudice and paranoia begin to build angular momentum, creating a vicious, spiraling cycle that can ultimately whip its own irrational fears into a froth of terrible reality.
And you can be sure that there are those who know all this well enough, and are perfectly willing to exploit these tendencies as tools of control to advance their own agendas.
First: Without making a fetish of novelty, embrace change in your environment, and in yourself. If you never change, then you have never really learned. Whenever you truly learn something new and significant, you are no longer the same individual you were before. There will never come a time when anyone has learned enough. We hear frequently about the importance of setting goals for ourselves, and eliminating unnecessary elements from our lives in order to focus on achieving such goals. But if you set rigid goals based on incomplete information, then you have done nothing but imprison yourself in your own ignorance. The key to evolution is adaptability.
Travel. Strengthen your adaptability by broadening your experience. Seek boundaries, both external and internal, and penetrate them. Crowley wrote extensively on the benefits of what he called “honest travel,” which necessarily entails experiencing points of view other than those common to your intellectual “home town.” Don’t be content to interact with a small group of people who all share the same attitudes you do.
Finally: Undertake the Great Work. Find out who and what you really are. How else can you ever know what’s really important to you, and what isn’t, as you tread the path between East and West?

Ambraya Grisby was the oldest of seven kids growing up in a single parent household in South Stockton, California. Her mom worked hard to support the family but as the oldest, Ambraya had to help. In seventh grade she was pretty much raising her baby sister, finding time for homework and watching two other younger siblings.
But Ambraya kept working hard. She graduated high school, then worked two jobs to take care of herself, her baby sister and another baby that her mother had a month before Ambraya graduated. 18 months after high school she knew she had to get herself a career. She had to make a change.
"I graduated a month before my 18th birthday and I've been working two jobs since. I thought I'll put off school a year, I'll wait to go back, because I needed to put some money in my pocket. Helping my mom was my goal, or at least being able to take care of myself so she didn't have to. That's been something I've tried to do since I was able to work. But to be honest I wish I'd gone to Carrington the moment I turned 18, I really do. I'd already have my associate's by now. I was making excuses and I wish I hadn't."
Ambraya graduated from the Medical Administrative Assistant (MAA) program at the Stockton, CA, campus in October 2016. She then enrolled in the online Health Studies program to pursue her associate degree and continue her education. But why did she choose health care?
"Originally I wanted to be a mechanic, but being able to make a real difference in someone's life is what drew me to health care. My grandmother and I were very close. I was 16 when she got sick and passed away. That was the moment I realized I wanted to make a difference. When she died, I honestly felt it could have been prevented if the process was better. I wanted to be part of that change."
Ambraya chose to pursue a career in medical administration. She has some patient care experience working as a caregiver, so she had a taste of what it might be like to be a medical assistant . That experience showed her that she's better suited to an admin role.
“Nurses and medical assistants obviously play a very big part, but they carry a lot on their shoulders, especially nurses. They have a lot of patient responsibility. I'm happier in administration. I love dealing with the paperwork part of it. I love answering the phones and reaching out to patients. I'm not a very big part of the change, where I'm changing someone's life completely, but I'm part of the process. I'm saving patient’s time, money, things like that. What I do, and how well I do it, can make a difference."
Ambraya did her MAA externship at a dental office in Stockton. The office talked about hiring her but, at the time, they wanted someone who could also speak Spanish.
"They loved me, and I still have a good relationship with them, but they really wanted someone bilingual. I don't have that at the moment, but it's something I'm willing to work on for sure because I know it will open up a lot of opportunities for me."
After graduating the MAA program, Ambraya decided the time was right to continue her education. Going on to study for an Associate of Science degree in Health Studies wasn't what she had in mind when she first came to Carrington.
"I'll be honest, it wasn't something I'd thought about because going back to school was a challenge for me. But I thank my lucky stars, and every person that encouraged me, because it's been a lifesaver. I told myself that while I may not really want to go back to get my associate's degree, if I didn't do it now, it would only take longer to get it later. So I decided to get it over with while I'm young. It looks better on my resume, it feels better, and I think it'll bring me more prosperity and opportunities."
After the disappointment of not getting a job with her externship site, Ambraya soon got a job as a front office coordinator at Midtown Optometry. She's also a part-time caregiver, providing companionship to senior citizens. With two jobs and studying for her associate's degree, she has a very full schedule. But how does she like studying online compared to a campus based program?
"It's a lot more convenient to do online courses. I can work on it how and when I want to. But it's definitely a challenge because you're not sitting in front of a teacher with them explaining it you. You have to roll with the punches and figure it out. But it's very convenient for someone like me who's trying to get my career started and build my future. Unfortunately I'm a big procrastinator - I'm trying to work on that - but with the other things I've got going on in my day to day life, it works out well for me."
Ambraya is a few months into her job at the eye doctor's office and she couldn’t be happier…in fact she can't wait to get out of bed in the morning!
"I love it! You know how some people just wake up and hate their job? They roll over and go back to sleep until they have to get up? Well I wake up and I'm not mad about it. I enjoy it! I was hospitalized a couple of weeks ago and I was trying to get out of the hospital so I could go back to work! I love going to my job, I love being there, I love the doctors - it's a great experience."
Stick With It & Search Out Scholarships!
When it comes to advice for future students, Ambraya has some great words of wisdom and an insider tip for searching for some potential financial assistance!
"Stick with it and don't give up. You'll hate yourself if you don't put the effort into it. You are your best investment, so invest in yourself - it will only help you. Yes it might take some financial aid or loans, but there are scholarships and plenty of things out there to help you make it through this journey.
She speaks from experience when talking about scholarships; Ambraya applied for a bunch of different ones. She won one while she was enrolled in the MAA program last year, as well as the ESL101 scholarship she won this February. Ambraya used the scholarship funds to help pay for her tuition and fees.
"I found the ESL101 scholarship through iGrad. I'd asked my counselor what kind of scholarships Carrington students qualify for, and she told me about the site. It's a website that helps with courses on financial aid and stuff like that. I was on the site one night applying for scholarships and I came across ESL101. I applied and submitted my essay. I was shocked when I got an email back to say I'd been shortlisted."
Most people learn something about themselves when they go back to school. Ambraya was no different. She's discovered some life-changing things at Carrington, things that should help her succeed in life.
"I learned that when I start something I don't give up. I've always doubted myself, never given myself the credit I deserve, but at Carrington I've learned to think more highly of myself and what I bring to the table. If you don't believe in yourself, there's no way anyone else is. Carrington helped me see who I really am, who I want to become, and what I want to do with my life. Even though I'm only entry-level now, I'm going to make it up there for sure. Carrington has helped me see that I have to have a career in this life. Because just working a regular job is not going to be enough for what I need to be up there in life. That's what Carrington really opened my eyes to."
Important information about the educational debt, earnings and completion rate of students who attended this program can be found at http://carrington.edu/cc/maa and http://carrington.edu/cc/hs.
Individuals seeking to enter this career field may be subject to screenings such as, but not limited to, criminal background checks and drug/alcohol testing prior to externship, to attain occupational licensure/certification or employment and throughout their careers. Student loans, grants and scholarships are available to those who qualify. Carrington College does not guarantee students will qualify for the ESL101 scholarship.

I was way back in the mountains a few years ago trout fishing a little creek. I came around a bend, and there was this hipster feller laying stretched out on a rock in the creek in his drawers and this other man-bun feller was taking pictures of him with a big fancy camera. He even had one of those reflector thingies set up on a tripod to shine light on the underdrawers feller. They looked pretty embarrassed when they finally saw me.
Sounds like the start of a movie I don't want to watch! Are you sure you weren't cast as "unsuspecting trout fishermen"???
Not gonna lie, I was the "man in his underdrawers" in a very similar incident once.
I may have to rethink this “camping with northgeorgiasportsman” thing.
I have permission to hunt a old 12 acre home place in south Hall co, I was in the blind this afternoon and a little after 5 I see this young feller wearing one of those liberal knit beanie hats and pushing a wheel barrow coming twards Me. I waited till he got 20 yards from Me and I popped out of the blind and scared the crap out of him. I asked him what he was doing and He said "I'm a artist and I'm collecting junk to make art projects" . I told him he was trespassing on private property and stealing. He mumbled I didn't know>> I told him that I should call the law but Id give him 30 seconds to dump the items in his wheelbarrow and vacate the property. He just dropped the whole wheelbarrow and took off running!! I didn't mean to scare him that bad but I guess he didn't want to mess with a old fat camo-ed up redneck with a gun!!! On the bright side I got a nice wheelbarrow out of it!!
I’m curious how you knew that the kid didn’t have permission to be there as well? If he was pushing a wheel barrel I would have made an assumption that he lived next door. When I was a kid we would explore woods everywhere within walking distance of where we lived, didn’t have written permission but we knew our neighbors wouldn’t care. Granted that we would look for junk to make forts and not art, but still, i would have asked the kid first if he has persmission before scaring him away and taking his wheel barrel. A 30 second head start from a redneck with a gun sounds pretty scary to a young feller and could have ended badly. Especially if the boys parents called the landowner and exaggerated details of how it went down.
Me and a good buddy of mine were way up a little creek in Montana, slap dab in the middle of grizzly country, miles from the truck. We had split up to fish and before I even wet a line, I stepped on an exposed root to jump across the stream and the root broke and I went in head over heels. I got up, soaked from head to toe, with my hip waders holding a few gallons apiece. Angry at myself and whatever termites that had obviously weakened the integrity of that root, I stomped off upstream to find my buddy TC. I found him and he had a good laugh and I told him I was gonna dry off before I fished on. So there on a rocky bank, I stripped off to my boxers and laid out all of my gear on rocks and boulders to dry in the sun. After fishing a few holes, TC came and joined me and we just sat and chatted, him in his gear and me out of mine. Next thing I know, the bushes behind me started shaking and suddenly parted. My heart stopped, expecting a grizzly or a mountain lion, but it was a bearded hippy looking for a waterfall. I'm just glad he didn't want to join us.
Did the director start the Sanford and Son music after the third guy came "out" of the bushes?
I have sole written permission to be on the property by My friend who owns it, No one else is allowed to be there and its posted. There was a old house ,barn and a lot of old cars on the property when My friend purchased it. A soon as the word got around that the old man had sold the place and moved out ,local scum bags and meth heads started stealing everything they could get their hands on .My friend had the buildings torn down and removed along with the old vehicles. I told him Id be glad to post and watch over the property for permission to hunt there, I thought the kid was a tweaker looking for scrap metal to steal. that's why I confronted him in a aggressive manner.
Ive since found out he lives a few miles away and he is a artist. Also hes in his mid 20s and is known to the police because he has been warned for trespassing on other properties in the area before.
I enjoy the outdoors in Effingham and Bulloch. The transient population is a problem everywhere. Unfortunately most law enforcement can only try to contain the problem. If they aren't begging in the city limits they aren't likely to go to the wma or boat ramp to move them along.
One time I was hiking back in the Mountains in Montana, letting my beard grow and looking for a waterfall; when I broke through some bushes and saw these fellers sitting there on the creek bank chatting and having a big ol' time. They looked like they were really good buddies. One of them was nekkid, and he was also a really strikingly ugly feller to boot.
They had fishing poles, but I never saw anybody fish in their underdrawers in a cold creek in Montana, so it seemed pretty suspicious to me. I got out of there really quick.
What you stated above exactly mirrors what I hear frequently from others in that area.
The good news is the fact that I don't spend ANY time in Effingham County......except driving through on I-16 occasionally. However, I have lots of friends in the Statesboro area (including my Daughter and Son-in-Law in Statesboro) and for several years now, they refer to Effingham as METHINGHAM because of the abundance of drugs and other severe types of crime involved there.
I know that my Daughter and Son-in-law try their best to NOT spend much time there because of the drugs and murders such as you have described.
I was fishing at the steel bridge (hwy119) a few years ago when a brawl at the ramp led to a drowning death. I have also pulled up to find a mother and children sleeping on a dirty mattress before dawn at the ramp. But if you ride that way today, I'm pretty sure the water level has improved the area greatly. As far as murders go, the effingham family that buried their teenage children in the backyard hasn't been helping the area get any good press.
Well I used to be one of those meth heads ( sober 7 years ) and it's everywhere but Chatham county was my home. And I would go to effingham and bulloch to get away. So to classify a whole county is an ignorant statement. Just SAYING!!!!
Good for you getting off the stuff! Most never do, they only quit when they're dead or permanently in prison.

A few years ago i was very addicted.. the come down got to be so bad that i just didnt come down... at all... for about 8 months. then i slowly got off of it with the help from my parents and friends. i have been doing it at random every since. if its offered, or if im around it. havent purchased anything. but lately i have been so stressed and time-crunched on getting my school work done that i decided to get a gram... i got it last night while at work and just decided to come home and crash since i had been working almost 20 hours in a row... but now im home with it. and i want to do it. i have the weirdest feeling..havent done any but the fact that i know its sitting right next to me is driving me crazy... idont want to do it because im afraid i wont stop. and ill crave more.. help!
now help me understand what you were thinking before you did it so I can understand it. What was in your mind before you did it. I am on the reverse side of you. Its not me who does it its my bf so thats why I am asking. Did you know it was wrong. Do you think what you have to lose? I am trying to understand this whole addiction to crack and cocaine. Why does he do it in his home state and not here with me. Is the home state a trigger? Will he eventually do it here?
I'm sorry that you weren't able to overcome the temptation. I've been trying to quit too. It's hard because as much as I want to I just can't right now. I'm trying to find someone who can help. Good luck with your addiction. I know you hate it. I hope you can be free from it and look back on it one day. And never return.

What is Crystalline Nano Silver? Crystalline Nano describes the nature of the silver: silver particles which are less than 100 nanometers. Silver particles under 100 nanometers can be absorbed very quickly by the body and even through the skin. There are no salts or proteins used in our manufacturing process, ensuring that the end product is only nano sized silver particles in distilled water. Because of the purity and particle size of Organa Silver, it is a safe and effective remedy to many illnesses.
In an article by scientists Alan Lansdown and Angela Williams, silver resistance in wound care is discussed and they suggest that on the basis of present knowledge, true bacterial resistance to silver is rare.
Lansdown A, Williams A. Bacterial resistance to silver-based antibiotics. Nurs Times. 2007 Feb 27-Mar 5; 103(9): 48-9.
This study sought to evaluate the efficacy of a silver-based skin antiseptic against carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE). These organisms are a family of germs that are difficult to treat because they have high levels of resistance to antibiotics. The results of the study suggest that colloidal silver provides antimicrobial activity against CRE on human skin.
Wiemken, T.L.et al. Efficacy of a novel skin antiseptic against carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae. Am J Infect Control. 2015 Apr 1;43(4):380-2. doi:10.1016/j.ajic.2014.12.007. Epub 2015 Feb 7.
This study assessed the safety and efficacy of a topical colloidal silver solution for the treatment of Staphylococcus aureus biofilms in a sheep model. The conclusion of the study was that topical colloidal silver solution has effective antibiofilm activity in Staphylococcus aureus CRS in a sheep model and appears safe.
Rajiv S, Drilling A Bassiouni A, James C, Vreugde S Wormald PJ. Topical colloidal silver as an anti-biofilm agent in a Staphylococcus aureus chronic rhinosinusitis sheep model. Int Forum Allergy Rhinol. 2015 Apr;5(4):283-8. doi:10.1002/alr.21459. Epub 2015 Jan 30.
This study was created to determine whether colloidal silver has any direct bactericidal effects on Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) biofilms. They found that colloidal silver resulted in the reduction of the Staph bacteria by 98.8% and 98.9%.
Goggin R, Jardeleza C, Wormald PJ, Vreugde S., Colloidal silver: a novel treatment for Staphylococcus aureus biofilms? Int Forum Allergy Rhinol. 2014 Mar;4(3):171-5 doi: 10.1002/air.21259. Epub 2014 Jan 15.
Nanosilver is assumed to be a new material because of the relatively recent emergence of the term "nano". However, on close inspection nanosilver materials have a long, 120-year history of relatively safe and regulated use, chiefly in the form on colloidal silver. Historical perspective demonstrates that nanosilver has been intentionally manufactured and adopted commercially across a wide spectrum of everyday applications for many decades. To declare nanosilver materials as "new chemicals" with "unknown properties" that are "potentially harmful" simply on the basis of a change in nomenclature to the term "nano," and ignoring the accumulated knowledge of its scientific and regulatory heritage demonstrating both safety and efficacy in a wide range of applications, would be a mistake that does not serve the public interest.
Nowack B., Krug H., Height M., 120 Years of Nanosilver History: Implications for Policy Makers. Environ. Sci. Technol. 2011, 45, 1177-1183. pubs.acs.org.
Professor Munger at the University of Utah, initiated a human ingestion safety study on a colloidal silver supplement. The abstract for the study states that ingestion of nanosilver particles showed no negative effects on any tested system in the body. The study included 14 day exposures to 10 ppm and up to 35 ppm (15ml/day) silver solution in a double-blind, placebo controlled cross-over phase design. 36 healthy volunteer subjects, underwent complete metabolic, blood and platelet count, urinalysis tests, sputum hyper-responsiveness and inflammation evaluation, physical examinations, vital sign measurements, and magnetic resonance imaging of the chest and abdomen at baseline and at the end of each phase. According to the study authors, "No clinically important changes in any metabolic, hematologic, or urinalysis measure identified were determined. No morphological (or structural) changes were detected in the lungs, heart (cardiac function) or abdominal organs. No changes were noted in sputum relative oxygen species or in pro-inflammatory cytokines."
Munger MA, Radwanski P, Hadlock GC, Stoddard G, Shaaban A, Falconer J, Grainger DW, Deering-Rice CE. In vivo human time-exposure study of orally dosed commercial silver nanoparticles. Nanomedicine. 2014 Jan;10(1):1-9. doi:10.1016/j.nano.2013.06.010. Epub 2013 Jun 28.
In this study published in the Journal of Experimental & Clinical Cancer Research, the study authors decided to test colloidal silver against human breast cancer cells. The researchers concluded, "The overall results indicated that the colloidal silver has antitumor activity through induction of apoptosis in MCF-7 breast cancer cell line, suggesting that colloidal silver might be a potential alternative agent for human breast cancer therapy."

This week, a Last Call Working Draft of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.0 (WCAG 2.0) was published, along with two Working Draft support documents; understanding WCAG 2.0, and Techniques for WCAG 2.0. There is also a document that explains the baseline concept that will be useful for understanding WCAG 2.0.
Unlike WCAG 1.0, WCAG 2.0 intends to be technology-independent, and should be applicable to all technologies rather than just W3C technologies. To help achieve this goal, the guidelines are arranged around four principles.
Under each principle are guidelines that define what's required for authors to conform to the principle. Each guideline has its own set of success criteria, which are testable statements to define and clarify what's required from the author for conformance. Appendix B contains a checklist of success criteria organised by guideline, which is useful for a quick overview of the guidelines.
Only the WCAG 2.0 document is in Last Call, and comments should be made on or before 31 May 2006. Comments can be made online, or through downloadable forms. The Instructions for Commenting on WCAG 2.0 document explains the commenting procedure, along with the downloadable forms in a variety of formats.

July is here, and our upcoming conference in New York City is only a handful of days away! If you haven’t done so already, go and get your ticket now so that you can enjoy the June roundup fully relaxed, knowing that your seat is secured.
On the off chance you’ve missed the news about it, Ending Age-Related Diseases: Investment Prospects & Advances in Research is our first conference to be held in New York City. It will take place on July 12th at Cooper Union, and it will feature talks and panels with several great speakers, such as Dr. Vera Gorbunova from Rochester University, Dr. Vadim Gladyshev from Harvard Medical School, Dr. Aubrey de Grey from SENS Research Foundation, Dr. Kelsey Moody from Ichor Therapeutics, and many more. You can get your ticket here, and remember that Lifespan Heroes get 75% off the ticket price!
On June 25, Unity Biotechnology has officially announced a human clinical trial of its new senolytic. This Phase 1 trial is aimed primarily at establishing the safety of UBX0101, which is to be directly injected into the knees of patients suffering from moderate to severe osteoarthritis; however, the study will also evaluate efficacy to some extent. This trial is designed to test UBX0101 for a specific age-related condition, so a successful result might pave the way for more advanced trials involving this particular condition and investigations into using it for other age-related conditions. Hopefully, one day, we will look back to June 25, 2018 as a milestone that marks the beginning of an era free from age-related diseases!
As you probably know, SENS Research Foundation and Forever Healthy Foundation have long been a team in the fight against aging; last year, they inaugurated the Undoing Aging conference series, and given their great success in 2018, it is no surprise that next year’s conference has already been announced! UA2019 will be held in Berlin, Germany at the Umspannwerk Alexanderplatz on March 28-30. Tickets are already available, so you might want to book yours already and take advantage of the early-bird prices.
Speaking of Undoing Aging, videos from the 2018 edition keep rolling out; have a look at this one featuring the founder and CTO of Immusoft, Matthew Scholz.
If you’re a life scientist and are considering a career in the nascent rejuvenation industry, you might be interested in a position at Forever Healthy Foundation, which is looking for a scientific analyst.
Are you a subscriber to SRF’s newsletter? If not, you can see its June news on their website here, but do consider subscribing to its newsletter—and ours, too!
Ending Aging, Dr. Aubrey de Grey’s classic book, has been translated to many languages, but up until recently, not in Portuguese. This gap has now been filled thanks to the effort of Nicolas Chernavsky and Nina Torres Zanvettor, who recently released O fim do envelhecimento in electronic format. The book is available for purchase on Amazon here or here.
Aging is a topic that is discussed a lot by everyone every day. If you pay attention, you’ll see it pop up everywhere in most casual conversations, but rarely people talk about it in terms of the serious health problem it is; they tell themselves stories about aging to make it appear less bad than it is. This is something that we’re all exposed to from our childhood, and, unfortunately, it continues throughout our lives, to the point that, even at the institutional level, the true nature of aging—a chronic decline in body functionality—is nonchalantly swept under the rug and more fairy tales and oxymorons are told to the public instead. This is something we all need to be aware of, and work hard to change, if we want to get rid of age-related diseases rather than keep telling ourselves that they’re not that bad.
However you may look at it, exercise is good for you; that’s something that is repeated so often that even children know it. In particular, exercise may slow down the march of aging, even though not by much. In this article, Reason discusses and comments a paper about the impact of exercise on all of the Hallmarks of Aging.
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a disease of the lungs that may strike at any age, if you do the wrong things, such as smoking; however, aging lungs and lungs affected by COPD share enough similarity that COPD may be considered, to an extent, accelerated lung aging. FA! points out an interesting open-access paper on the subject.
Senescent cells, and the chronic inflammation they induce, are implicated in a lot of age-related ailments, including sarcopenia and frailty—which, in simpler terms, mean that your muscles are weaker and less dense, and your bones more fragile; consequently, your mobility is impaired, and your chances of falling and badly hurting yourself dramatically increase. Here’s some commentary by Reason on a recent review paper arguing for cellular senescence as a potential target for medical intervention.
The name Jim Mellon is probably familiar to our readers—he’s a famous investor with a deep interest in fostering the development of a rejuvenation biotechnology industry, and he co-authored Juvenescence, which we reviewed here. Recently, his investment company Juvenescence Limited raised $50 million dollars in a Series A financing round, which will be invested in a portfolio of biotech ventures that are paving the way to a world where age-related conditions are effectively treated rather than simply tolerated. It’s great to see more capital brought into this industry, as this will likely speed up its growth significantly.
Pirfenidone, a drug approved for use in humans to treat lung conditions, appears to reduce inflammation and thus further injury in the heart following a heart attack—at least in mice. Apparently, the drug works by regulating immune response—specifically, that of B lymphocytes—though not all details are clear yet, and work needs to be done to figure them out and reduce side effects.
Cancer is a very resourceful enemy, capable of adapting to anything you might throw at it; recently, researchers have found out that cellular cilia—tubular organelles located on cells’ surfaces—might be partly responsible for this deadly talent. Longer cilia on cancer cells seem to confer them better drug resistance, whereas their absence appears to make them vulnerable again. You can read more about it here.
Rejuvenation-related research projects are many and varied, and keeping track of them may seem like a daunting task. Fear not, we can help you with that: as announced earlier this month, our Rejuvenation Roadmap is out! This database of ongoing research projects is categorized according to the Hallmarks of Aging and provides details as to who’s working on each project, what exactly is being researched, and at what stage of development it is. The roadmap is still in its infancy, and there’s a lot to be added yet, so keep an eye on it!
You might also be interested in reading about inflammaging and the microbial burden as well as the potential of senolytics to treat age-related frailty and the potential applications of nanomedicine against age-related diseases.
You might remember our article about a recent paper on how the nuclear membranes within our cells become misshapen with age and the deleterious effects this has; this very same topic was the subject of our latest Journal Club. Check out the video if you are interested in the details.
This month, we had another great round of interviews: LEAF volunteer Dr. Laura Weston told us about her views on aging as well as her transhumanist-themed art and how art can help science, Dr. Vadim Gladyshev discussed theories of aging and his research on redox biology, Dr. Anthony Atala talked about regenerative medicine, and finally, Dr. Michael Fossel granted us a two-part interview (here and here) on epigenetics, telomeres, gene therapy, and more!
It’s been another great month for the whole field, and we hope to create even more momentum with our upcoming conference. We’d like to see you there!

Webasto’s comprehensive climate expertise helps you reduce costly engine idling times. As it is, many countries have already prohibited these during rest stops. That’s why the Webasto non-idling solutions generate and maintain a pleasant temperature in the driver’s cab – totally independent of the engine. Thereby fuel consumption drops and – as a positive side effect – so do the emission of pollutants.
On average, an idling truck engine consumes three litres of fuel an hour. What’s more, there’s also increased wear and tear that affects both the engine and the auxiliary equipment. These are costs that Webasto helps you save.
Ideal for short downtimes as well as long breaks: With the Webasto engine-off technology your cabin always maintains the perfect temperature – and that with the motor switched off. Thus, right after your drive, the Webasto solution utilizes the residual heat of the engine to heat the cabin. Later the parking heater is automatically activated.
