Per nursing home Tyler TX professionals, maintaining an active lifestyle favors good health during every life stage. Studies have repeatedly shown that exercising, even in the case of seniors, helps to avoid various health issues, such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease and even certain forms of cancer.
Here are five types of low impact exercise that keep you in good shape, even if you are not young anymore.
Aerobic exercise is a real benefit for elderly people, keeping excess pounds at bay (when combined with adequate nutrition), lowering blood pressure and LDL cholesterol, maintaining joints mobility, increasing the stamina and boosting the mood.
Start with light aerobic exercise, for about 10 minutes, 3-4 times a week. Gradually, increase their length to 30 minutes and take time to do them every day, or every two days.
Strengthening muscles is very important for elderly people, because it helps them maintaining mobility and physical shape. Squats are the ideal solution to reach this goal.
Here is how you do them properly: take a solid chair with a high backrest and use it to place your hands on it, for support. This is helpful at least until you reach a better physical condition and improve your balance. Bend your knees until you get close to a sitting position. Maintain it for a few moments, then get up, breathe deeply, and resume. Repeat 10 times. When you gain more strength, you can take your hands of the chair, for an extra challenge.
To strengthen the muscles of the upper body, you can use dumbbells. Stand up, holding a dumbbell in each hand, at the shoulder level, then raise your hands straight above your head. Repeat 10 times, in two rounds.
Alternatively, keep the hands down and lift the dumbbells laterally, to shoulder level. Repeat this exercise 10 times, in two rounds.
Regular pushups are an excellent exercise to strengthen the muscles of the arms, chest and shoulders . Unfortunately, as you get older, they may become more difficult to do, but pushups can be adjusted for different needs and you will still be able to enjoy all the benefits offered by the standard version.
Here is how: stand up against a wall, at a distance of about one arm, and slowly lean forward, palms pushed against the wall. Stay a few moments in that position and then return to the original position. Repeat 10 times, rest for a couple of minutes, and then make another set of 10.
This type of exercise offers countless benefits, from strengthening the thighs, hips, buttocks and lumbar muscles, to improving balance. In addition, they are very easy to do, even by seniors.
For this type of exercise, stay behind a chair with a high backrest and put your hands on it, to keep your balance. Raise one leg laterally, keeping your back straight. Maintain this posture for a few moments and then return to the initial position. Repeat 10 times and then change your leg and do the same exercise.

If you manage growing a brand using social media, this post applies to you.
This article will be a little more serious in nature (from my normal posts), because it’s a serious topic and a natural part of business.
On Friday, I wrote a blog article, “What’s The Worst That Can Happen?”, which addresses how to manage negative posts about your brand in the social media space.
In summary, if a post isn’t friendly but can be validated in some way (ie. someone complaining about a bad customer experience), then I recommend you leave the post up and address it with integrity and responsibility.
As I mentioned in the blog article, three amazing things can happen when you do this.
There’s a different category of negative posts I want to distinguish that will better equip your team with handling negative PR or crisis communications situations.
These posts are what I call, inappropriate posts.
1. Slanderous or Defaming – Posts that are egregious and can harm your brand’s, another brand’s, or a person’s reputation. David Canton (business lawyer at Harrison Pensa LLP and blogger at eLegal), has told me in the past, these types of posts can also cross a legal line and open the perpetrator to legal action.
2. Harassing or Abusive – Posts that are vulgar or can be reasonably perceived as an attack, or are offensive. An example is last week, one of tbk Creative‘s clients had a Facebook.com fan offer a suggestion on how to use the Facebook.com page better (which is appreciated!), but after his suggestion he called the brand a “dumbass” for not thinking of this themselves. This is an example of a harrassing or abusive post.
3. Discriminatory or Hate – Posts that are unjust or prejudice towards a group of people.
4. Illegal – Other posts where the poster is omitting something that is a clear violation of law. Although, I’m not a lawyer, I would not be surprised if case law doesn’t surface in the future where brands become obliged to report illegal information they receive through their digital platforms.
5. Solicitation – Posts where the poster is directly or indirectly promoting products or services.
Don’t tolerate them and remove them.
Take a screen shot of the post for your records.
e) Thank them for understanding and invite them to call you at your office (leave your office number) if they’d like to discuss further.
In this instance, if a user made an inappropriate post but their concern was valid in some way (ie. a fan curses at your brand and describes their negative experience at your restaurant), you can still follow the above steps of removing the post, but you want to tailor your message to them to let them know their post wasn’t deleted because of the complaint, but because of the offensive language used. You will also want to take this opportunity to make things right with them (example, offer them a company credit).
Following the steps above when dealing with inappropriate posts will stop the person from making posts of this nature 95% of the time.
1. Take a screen shot of the post for your records.
d) Invite them to call you at your office (leave your office number) if they’d like to discuss further.
However, when it comes to posts that are inappropriate and cross the line, don’t tolerate them and hold adults to being adults.
I’m used to deleting comments – our Embrace Life Youtube feed took a lot of vile language and behaviour towards the young girl actor – these got pulled straight away and the community were informed about it (rather than the posters who, given the sort of content they were posting, didn’t warrant a humane response).
Personally I love a good troll. Had one on my blog recently (Great post – I really agree with what you’re saying here (and in the previous post).
There’s nothing like a troll to liven up proceedings… Having been trolled myself recently (http://interacter.wordpress.com/2011/04/25/processes-and-objects-systematics-in-marketing-and-branding/ – I’m in indescribably pathethic obviously ) – but I was pretty flattered given that they’d taken the time and trouble to track me down over the WWW.
Haha, that’s a funny short exchange of words on the blog article you posted Neil.
I’m glad you found the article valuable Rob.

Two weeks ago, I gave you several handy household tips. As promised I am going to tackle the outside this week as well as a few general tips that may make your life easier. I know that the season to be outdoors is swiftly coming to an end but that is only for this year. You can always hang on to these ideas and put them to use next spring and summer.
Before planting those spring and summer plants, try placing wet newspapers in layers around the plant. Overlapping as you go, Once done, add your mulch and what you will end up with is a weed free setting because weeds shouldn’t grow through wet newspapers.
To get rid of ants, most everyone knows that if you sprinkle either cornmeal or oatmeal around the ant hills you will eventually get rid of them.
For fruit flies or other flies, in a small glass put ½ in of Apple Cider Vinegar add 2 drops of dish detergent and mix well. Flies are typically drawn to this mixture and next thing you know, you’ll have a glass full of flies. Much better option than hanging fly strips which will stick to your hair when you walk by, not to mention how nasty they look.
Have a problem with squirrels? Try shaking some cayenne pepper around your plants. It won’t hurt your plants but will work great keeping those pesky rodents away.
For keeping mosquitos away try using a dryer sheet in your pocket. I have no idea if it works but it sounds good and much less expensive than other alternatives such as bug sprays.
That is about it for the outside tips however I have several general tips that I would like to share. Have you ever dropped a glass and wondered if you got all the pieces picked up. Well if you run a wet cotton ball or qtip over the area where you dropped it, you are sure to pick up some tiny pieces you would otherwise not have found.
For you ladies out there, you know that fall and winter are big static cling months Attach a small safety pin to the seam of your slip or the hem line of your pants and they won’t cling. . I know I will be trying this tip. Every year you hear about houses burning down due to dryer fires. Here is one way to keep the waxy build up from dryer sheets to a minimum. Every 60 months clean the filter with a toothbrush and hot soapy water. I think this last tip is my favorite and I wonder why I had not thought about it earlier. This is another tip for the ladies. You know that old bottle of unused conditioner that you didn’t like, well why not use it to shave your legs. Obviously it cheaper than shaving cream since it’s on hand and it will leave your legs really smooth.
If you have any suggestions you would like to add, feel free to leave comments on our Facebook page.

“Brooklyn” has a wonderfully told old-fashioned love story that reaffirms that such a movie can still be found amongst all the remakes, reboots and sequels. It is earnest and sweet, not cheesy and pretentious. It has a simple story, consisting of complex characters with relatable emotions, wonderfully directed by John Crowley (“Closed Circuit”) and written by a fantastic screenwriter Nick Hornby (“An Education” and “Wild”), both of whom appreciate the look and feel of classic cinema. There’s a compelling immigrant journey as well as a sensitive coming-of-age tale to be found in “Brooklyn” and a genuine innocence that is lovely. Anyone writing this film off as “Oscar bait” would be sorely incorrect and should make it a priority to check out the best romantic film of 2015.
It’s 1952 and Eilis – pronounced Ay-lish – (Saoirse Ronan) is a young Irish woman in Enniscorthy, Ireland, who’s ready to move to the U.S. and experience a change from the monotony of working the local town store, while living with her older sister Rose (Fiona Glascott) and their widowed mother, Mary (Jane Brennan). Through Rose’s help and Father Flood (Jim Broadbent), a kind Irish priest from Brooklyn, New York, a tentative and naive Eilis soon finds herself on a boat to Ellis Island with the hope of new opportunities.
Upon her arrival, Eilis is housed in an Irish boardinghouse in Brooklyn run by Mrs. Kehoe (Julie Walters) and is hooked up with a job as a shopgirl in a department store. Despite heartbreaking homesickness, Eilis manages to make a life for herself in this new world and even starts taking some bookkeeping classes at night, something hers sister does back home.
One night at a dance, she meets Tony (a fantastic Emory Cohen), a charming Italian plumber who becomes immediately smitten with Eilis. He patiently pursues her and eventually the two connect and fall in love. When a family tragedy calls her back to Ireland, she feels her homeland calling to her and finds herself being courted by available bachelor, Jim Farrell (Domhnall Gleeson), a kind young man who would be a perfect match for Eilis – leaving her torn between the life she recently built and a possible future she could have, both in two different worlds.
Although it’s a story that follows an Irish immigrant, “Brooklyn” is one of the most American films of 2015. Some may argue otherwise, but all Americans are immigrants to the States in some form, unless they’re one hundred percent Native American. I found myself thinking of my own ancestors coming over from Europe and what they must’ve experienced. Sure, other movies have elicited such a response as well, like the first two “Godfather” movies and Neil Jordan’s “In America” (to name a few), but the sharply honed characterizations here convey such a consideration and respect for the immigration experience, which finds the film undeniably resonating with its audience.
Throughout the film, Crowley provides an intelligent and empathetic look at these characters, especially Eilis – as she navigates what it means to leave family and start a new life in a foreign land. It helps that he has exceptional actors to work with as he chronicles this touching story of love, loss and the definition of home.
As Eilis, Irish actress Saoirse Ronan (“Hannah”, “The Grand Budapest Hotel”) delivers such internal depth to the role, registering a range of emotions in one single look. She easily carries the film and is a wonder to behold. Watching Ronan grow from an introverted girl to a confidant young woman as she takes in the enormous change in her life is an absorbing viewing experience. It’s a truly exceptional performance – nothing showy or out of character, just intuitive and nuanced work.
The stellar acting doesn’t end with Ronan, she is surrounded by authentic and assured supporting performances. Julie Walters and Domnhall Gleeson (who has had an amazing year) and wonderful, portraying characters that would’ve wound up as stocktypes in any other film. Gleeson’s character could’ve been an arrogant cad, but instead he’s sensitive to where Eilis is at and what she’s going through. The fact that both Gleeson and Cohen play solid, stand-up guys, make Eilis’ struggle all the more difficult. Plus, both of these gentlemen compliment Ronan so well and offer a refreshing take on a protagonist’s suitors.
Hornby handles Eilis’ arc wonderfully, never rushing through plot points and being mindful of details of both American and Irish life, while also keeping Tony a desirable man, not an easily disposable goon to throw away in the third act. “Brooklyn” avoids literary adaptation troubles by choosing all the right moments to focus on, while Crowley maintains a warmth to the picture, keeping atmospheric period elements intact.
During the third act in Ireland, when Eilis experiences her crucial dilemma, Hornby’s writing remains confidently absorbing, allowing the audience to understand the character’s dilemmas, while creating a decent argument for life in either country. She can honestly go either way and we wonder what she will do.
“Brooklyn” locates humor along the way (a movie highlight finds Eilis receiving spaghetti lessons to eat comfortably with an Italian family), and there’s plenty of sweetness as well (Tony has to go to his American-born 8-year-old brother to help craft a love letter). However, none of it ever feels saccharine, treating conflicts with consideration and the bigger picture of cultural immersion with care. “Brooklyn” is tender and welcoming, a story told wonderfully with authentic vulnerability and satisfying characterization.
When I first saw “Brooklyn”, it felt like it was hitting all the classic old school love story beats – albeit in an immigration setting – but what made it so much more than that is the outstanding writing. Hornby delivers a sharp and sincere screenplay adaptation of Colm Toibin’s 2009 novel of the same name. I haven’t read the book, but I’ve heard that this film adaptation is actually better than the book. You don’t hear that often, but that doesn’t surprise me considering what a tremendous writer Hornby is. Between his thoughtful script and Crowley’s assured hand at directing, what we experience in “Brooklyn” isn’t just Eilis’ journey, but our journey as well.

Humies is all weak scum dat deserve ta get stomped. 'Cept for One-Eye Yarrick. He knows how ter fight.
Sebastian Yarrick is an Imperial Guard Commissar famous for his participation in the Second and Third Wars for Armageddon, in which he twice fought against the Ork forces of Warlord Ghazghkull Mag Uruk Thraka. His leadership and bravery during these conflicts have made him one of the greatest heroes of the Imperium[1a].
Von Strab was grievously mistaken. Under his incompetent leadership, the planet fell bit by bit until the Orks reached Hades Hive. Here, Commissar Yarrick commanded the defending forces, inspiring them to a fanatical degree of bravery and resolve. Not a single soldier was executed for cowardice during the fighting at Hades Hive, even in the face of the overwhelming Ork numbers[1a].
Yarrick himself was always on the front lines during the fighting. He received many battle wounds, the most grievous in single combat with Warboss Ugulhard, who severed Yarrick's right hand with a swipe from his Power Klaw. Such a wound would have killed a lesser man, but Yarrick's iron will allowed him to not only survive, but to decapitate Ugulhard with his chainsword and then pull the Power Klaw from his corpse and hold it aloft for all to see. The sight caused the Orks to flee in terror, while simultaneously causing the human defenders to charge forward with renewed vigour. Only after the Orks had been routed did Yarrick allow himself the luxury of passing out[1a].
Commissar Yarrick holding a decapitated Ork head aloft with his Power Klaw.
The Imperial defence of Hades Hive was so implacable that eventually Ghazghkull himself joined the attack, leading his forces from the front. He tried to take the Hive by every strategy he could imagine, but Yarrick countered them all. Eventually, Hades Hive became a personal battle between the two warriors. When Ghazghkull fell upon the hive, Yarrick realised they could not hold their position. In a series of daring shuttle runs, the remaining forces managed to escape. Yarrick himself received a near-fatal wound in combat with Ghazgkull, and hovered near death during the final stage of the evacuation[1b].
Eventually, the war ended with the arrival of Commander Dante of the Blood Angels, whom the defenders of Armageddon turned to for leadership. Although the Space Marines' offensive pushed the Orks off the planet, Yarrick's defense of Hades Hive was recognized as the turning point of the war, and he was hailed as the Saviour of Armageddon[1b].
Before the war commenced, Yarrick had the remains of the Fortress of Arrogance salvaged from Golgotha and repaired, to serve as his personal command vehicle.
Ghazhkull opened the conflict by obliterating Hades Hive from orbit, effectively throwing down the gauntlet to his old adversary[1b]. Fortunately, Yarrick had foreseen this attack; where another commander might have diverted resources and men to protecting the city he had so ferociously defended before, Yarrick acted out of cold military logic and without a trace of sentimentality. Seeing that Hades Hive could not be defended, he had it evacuated before the Orks attacked, and concentrated his forces elsewhere.
His first order was to send all remaining Imperial aircraft to destroy as many of the Orks as possible before they could touch the ground. Eventually, the Orks landed their Roks, providing them with prebuilt fortresses. Yarrick personally led the assault on one of these with a force of Cadian Shock Troopers. Eventually the Third War for Armageddon degenerated into a grueling war of attrition, thwarting Ghazghkull's hopes for a clear victory[1b]. When Ghazghkull fled Armageddon and the Black Templars prepared to give chase, Yarrick petitioned High Marshal Helbrecht to allow him to join their quest; Helbrecht agreed, and Yarrick immediately set off, determined to rid the galaxy of Ghazghkull for good[1a].
After much pursuit Yarrick and Helbrecht were able to finally catch up to Ghazghkull. However while they were able to corner his flagship Kill Wrecka in the ensuing Battle of the Haunted Gulf, Ghazghkull was able to escape into the Warp and begin his Great Waaagh!. When Yarrick saw the Ork Warlord vanish, he slumped and knew that his escape meant ill for the galaxy.
Yarrick's weaponry reflects both his iron will and his keen understanding of the Ork mind, which respects only strength and is also highly superstitious[1a].
In the aftermath of the Second War, he replaced his missing hand with the same Power Klaw that had taken it, specially modified to fit his arm. It is powerful enough to kill in one swipe[1a].
After hearing rumors from the Orks that he could kill with a glance, he had his missing eye replaced with a bionic replacement, the Bale Eye, that can fire a laser beam, similar in effect to a laspistol at close range[1a].
Yarrick atop the Fortress of Arrogance.
During gameplay, Yarrick's iron will is represented by his ability to shrug off wounds and return to battle, even wounds that should take him out of play. He also has a special forcefield which shrugs off almost all attacks[1a].

KAZAN, Russia (AP) The tears flowed on both sides of the field after South Korea beat Germany at the World Cup.
Even in victory, the South Koreas struggled to compose themselves following a 2-0 win that knocked the defending champion Germans out of the tournament. That’s because South Korea entered the match with a slim chance to advance but couldn’t get it done.
South Korea had lost its opening two matches, but could have advanced with a victory at the Kazan Arena if Mexico had beaten Sweden in the other Group F match.
But nobody told the South Korean players that Mexico was getting routed 3-0, and they thought they were in contention right to the end.
South Korea, however, finished its campaign in Russian on a high, scoring two goals in injury time.
The South Koreans played aggressively in the first half and waited patiently for opportunities toward the end when the four-time champions pressed hard to score and get a victory that would have sent them through ahead of Mexico on goal difference.
While the Germans were clumsy in front of goal, Kim Young-gwon and Son Heung-min scored late while their teammates defended superbly with last-minute tackles and hard collective work.
Jo was also decisive, pulling off a superb one-handed save to deny Leon Goretzka’s header aimed at the far corner. He also stopped substitute Mario Gomez’s second-half header.

Tokyo is seeking name ideas for a new giant panda cub born at its Ueno zoo.
The zoo, Japan's oldest, has not yet shown off the cub to the public.
A video of the cub, born on June 12, showed the squeaky baby snuggling with its mother ShinShin.
The roly-poly female cub already has the characteristic black and white giant panda pattern in its fur and its eyes have opened.
ShinShin's last cub was born in 2012, but survived only six days. The newcomer appears to be thriving, and is sure to draw huge crowds once it goes on display.
About 420 giant pandas live in captivity, mostly in their native China, with about 1,860 in the wild.

This feeling leads you to believe you are more competent at something, which directly increases your self-esteem. Becoming stronger, faster or better at an exercise over time directly leads to an increased sense of self-worth.... Jon Sollie. Hey Barrie! Possessing AND maintaining healthy self-esteem can, for some be like shooting at a moving target. It seems to me that someone with a fragile, or low level of self-esteem may have to take a giant leap in order to even take the first steps to achieving healthy self-esteem.
Challenging our-self and setting goals is important to gain confidence but it is also vital that the challenge has to be realistic and not impossible to achieve as failing a challenge can break your self- esteem more than anything. So, start with small and realistic challenges that still have meaning for you. Like, �I will get a better grade in the next test� and once you have achieved it how to feel better when you have a broken heart The only way to get better self confidence is to expose yourself to varied life experiences and situations that has elements of risk,failures and success . You can never be confident at anything if you play safe in life .All confident people go thru this process as this leads to self discovery of inner strength and hidden potential .
The difference between high self-esteem and low self-esteem is taking bad experiences and letting them define your self-worth. This doesn�t mean you cant have a bad day, rather it means you don�t think that the events of the day happened because you are a horrible person etc.
That's bound to happen if you struggle with self-image, but if you keep trying these things and give it some time, your self-esteem should improve. Below is a list of ten things you can do to have better self-esteem.
It can be argued that improving self-compassion will ultimately serve you better in the long run than improving your self-esteem. Even if self-compassion is more important, you can still have room to improve your self-esteem while you are at it.

LABOR'S "captain's pick'' Senate candidate Nova Peris said she would have crossed the floor to oppose the Muckaty nuclear waste dump - and would vote against her party if she felt strongly about other issues.
Ms Peris said the Muckaty nuclear waste dump - planned to be built near Tennant Creek - was one area where she would go against Labor Party policy.
"I met with the anti-nuclear campaign people and I also met with the NT environment mob, and I have met with the Tennant Creek residents, I have met with the unions and I have met with three of the traditional owner groups,'' Ms Peris told the NT News.
The Muckaty nuclear waste dump has been planned to be built near Tennant Creek and has been supported by both Labor and the Coalition.
Some traditional owners from Muckaty are fighting the decision to have the dump located at the site, and the issue is being decided by the Federal Court.
Legislation enabling the Muckaty nuclear waste facility has been passed by the parliament, but Ms Peris said she would have crossed the floor to vote against it.
Ms Peris added that on exceptional issues where there was a clear message coming from the people of the NT that was different to that decided by the ALP caucus she would side with the people of the Territory.
If elected to the senate she would not be speaking for herself, but on behalf of Territorians, she said.
"I speak for them once they tell me what they want me to say,'' she said.
Federal Indigenous Health Minister Warren Snowdon, who was travelling with Ms Peris on a trip where she made the comments, said once a decision had been made by caucus Labor politicians must vote for it.
"She will have difficulty getting that across, I can tell you,'' Mr Snowdon said.
"If you have a free-for-all where you are there wearing the Labor badge and you don't like a particular set of decisions and you vote against it, that is instability and we don't want that.
Ms Peris was named by Julia Gillard as a "captain's pick'' to be the ALP's top choice to be a senator in the NT.
The move was later endorsed by the ALP National Executive, meaning Ms Peris's election to the Senate is all but guaranteed.

any ideas why this error and what's bad with the command I am using?

Sorry but please provide one code block that starts with the command line and is followed by the complete, uncut console output.
If possible, please simplify the command line and please provide the input files if -f lavfi -i testsrc -f lavfi -i sine does not allow to reproduce the issue.
Sure. First download and extract the attached test files into another directory on your machine.
[audio format for output stream 0:1 @ 0xaea3e0] Error parsing sample rate: -1.
All the command does is to generate mp4 and webm videos based on image frames and a wav file. Hope you can help me?

Please remove the -loglevel option from your command line unless you want to report an issue that the option has.
Please provide the most minimal command that allows us to reproduce the issue. Remove options until you find the option(s) that are required to reproduce the issue.

Provide a command that we can simply copy and paste.
Provide the full, complete, uncut, untrimmed console output without -loglevel (unless requested).
We have so many bug reports and we are just volunteers, so making things easier for us will result in faster answers with a minimum of back-and-forth.
That being said, why are you using -ar -1?
Ah, I found the problem myself. Audio frequency of -ar -1 was a bug in my code.
Wish ffmpeg had warned me about it properly.
I mentioned that in my comment.
Oh right. But why the other error then which confused me?
This shouldn't be printed when sample rate is wrong.

HAMILTON – Some staff members in the Hamilton Schools may be allowed to have guns on campus provided they are fully trained.
And students may be subjected to more unannounced, random searches with portable metal detectors – wands – beginning with the upcoming school year.
Hamilton joins Butler County’s Madison and Edgewood schools in those efforts as school security moves to the forefront locally and nationally following increasing numbers of school shootings – CNN reported 23 school shootings through the end of May, just this year.
Staff members would only be allowed to have guns on school grounds after undergoing the same firearms training police receive, said Superintendent Larry Knapp. They would also have to meet other criteria and it would be on a voluntary basis.
“The level of training our civilians would have to have would approach the level of training police receive – we’re setting high standards. It would be way beyond the training to carry a concealed weapon,’’ Knapp said.
Knapp estimated that out of a staff of approximately 1,100 he only knew of two individuals who might qualify – once they had additional training.
Ideal candidates to receive permission to carry a firearm on campus would be someone with a military or law enforcement background who passes background checks and other criteria, Knapp said.
He said it would be difficult to have armed civilians in the schools by the start of the upcoming school year. Notices are going on today to staff members who would have to volunteer to carry a gun, and then go through the evaluation and training process.
Metal detecting wands have been used in the district for several years at specific events, Knapp said. The change is that they could be used more frequently and when they would be used wouldn’t be announced in advance.
The move to use metal detectors and arm civilians by the Hamilton, Madison – scene of a 2016 shooting – and Edgewood schools is one applauded by Butler County Sheriff Richard Jones.
Edgewood has had a policy in place for five years that allowed armed staff members but to date volunteers haven’t stepped forward.
Earlier this week Jones began a billboard campaign with the first one targeting the Hamilton Schools, in an effort to push pressure on school districts to be more proactive in security measures.
“At this point there are three school districts in Butler County that are going to be a hard target (for a school shooting). I’m pleased – as long as they follow through,’’ Jones said.
This week the school board voted to add two school resource officers to the five now assigned at the district’s secondary buildings. The board also agreed to join a newly formed county school financing district that plans to put a 1.5-mill levy on the Nov. 6 ballot that can only be used for school safety, security, and mental health expenses.

(Phoenix, AZ April 4, 2013) -- Brain researchers at Barrow Neurological Institute have discovered that we explore the world with our eyes in a different way than previously thought. Their results advance our understanding of how healthy observers and neurological patients interact and glean critical information from the world around them.
The research team was led by Dr. Susana Martinez-Conde, Director of the Laboratory of Visual Neuroscience at Barrow, in collaboration with fellow Barrow Neurological Institute researchers Jorge Otero-Millan, Rachel Langston, and Dr. Stephen Macknik, Director of the Laboratory of Behavioral Neurophysiology. The study, titled “An oculomotor continuum from exploration to fixation”, was published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Science. (http://www.pnas.org/content/early/2013/03/25/1222715110.abstract?sid=74d12a9d-0587-4cbe-9f15-3e3c744647cb).
The discovery shows that even during visual fixation, we are actually scanning visual details with small eye movements -- just like we explore visual scenes with big eye movements, but on a oculomotor scanning.
Subjects viewed natural images while the team measured their eye movements with high-speed eye tracking. The images could range in size from the massive, presented on a room-sized video monitor in the Barrow Neurological Institute’s Eller Telepresence Room, normally used for Barrow’s surgeons to collaborate in brain surgeries with colleagues around the world, to images that are just half the width of your thumb nail.
In all cases, the researchers found that subjects’ eyes scanned the scenes with the same general strategy, along a smooth continuum of dynamical changes. “There was no abrupt change in the characteristics of the eye movements, whether the visual scenes were huge or tiny, or even when the subjects were fixing their gaze. That means that the brain controls eye movements in the same way when we explore and when we fixate,” said Dr. Martinez-Conde.
Scientists have studied how the brain controls eye movements for over 100 years, and the idea — challenged here—that fixation and exploration are fundamentally different behaviors has been central to the field. This new perspective will affect future research and bring focus to the study of neurological diseases that impact oculomotor behavior.

Paul Strom has the perfect life: a glittering career as an advertising executive, a beautiful wife, two healthy boys and a big house in a wealthy suburb. And he’s the perfect husband: breadwinner, protector, provider. That’s why he’s planned a romantic weekend for his wife, Mia, at their lake house, just the two of them. And he's promised today will be the best day ever.
“And now we’re getting on the road. Mia turns toward me and smiles. She has a perfect smile: half-moon-shaped, with glistening white teeth. My smile is more of a rectangle; no matter how hard I try, I appear to be smirking, I know that. But my teeth are perfect, thanks to the cosmetic dentist. I grin back.
Best Day Ever by Kaira Rouda captured me from the first page. I seriously could not put this one down.
What starts out as the beginning of a lovely weekend away quickly devolves into a frightening and suspenseful tale that reminded me a lot of You by Caroline Kepnes. Best Day Ever is told almost completely from the husband Paul’s perspective and wow is that a crazy head to be inside. Unlike the conflicted feeling I had about Joe (come on…doesn’t a part of you love him?), I had no such reservations when it came to Paul. You’ll just have to read it to compare the two for yourself.
As I said, I really could not put Best Day Ever down. Even though I thought I knew where it was going, I had to come along for the ride to see how everything unfolded. It may have been slightly predicable, but it was still so completely compelling.
Creepy with plenty of twists and turns…some of which were expected and some of which came from left field….it all added up to a compulsive read that I think many will love.
Kaira Rouda is a USA TODAY bestselling, multiple award-winning author of contemporary fiction exploring what goes on behind closed doors of seemingly perfect lives. Her next novel, BEST DAY EVER, is out September 19th.
She lives in Southern California with her family and is at work on her next novel.
It’s always nice to find a book you can’t put down.
Oh this does sound creepy. I want to read it. I will check my library.
so stoked that you enjoyed this one so much. I want to get around to it this fall, because it sounds so good.
This one sounds great. I love when a book grabs you right from the beginning. I also love a book that keeps you on your toes! Great review!
Oh this one looks so good. I also know the perfect person this would fit. Brilly review. I’m wanting a page turner.
I have this book on my TBR. You have encouraged me to move it up. Great review.
Sold. I loved You and this is the perfect time of year for this.

I know, it's only January so why am I whipping out the summer recipes? Well, because it was 75 degrees in Dallas this weekend!! I was craving something fresh I could have in the fridge all week. I absolutely love my veggies so this is my type of dish. If you don't like red onions, throw in green onions. Have celery in the fridge? Skip the cucumber. Basically make this pasta salad your own with your favorite veggies.
My favorite part of this pasta salad is the veggie flavored spirals. Each bite of pasta has a different burst of taste...just a party in your mouth! Most grocery stores have some sort of veggie flavored pasta you just may have to look a bit. I've seen many different brands.
Boil water and add pasta. Cook according to directions. I always set the timer for the least suggested time and taste check it at that point. I like my pasta al dente, not mushy. No one wants mushy pasta salad either.
Strain your pasta and rinse thoroughly with COLD water. Pasta salad is supposed to be cold..not warm.
Chop your veggies! I used about half of a red onion, whole red bell pepper, whole green bell pepper, half a carton of grape tomatoes and a handful of fresh flat-leaf parsley.
I like to remove the waxy skin off the cucumber before I add it to my pasta salad. A potato peeler does the trick for this.
Time to make the dressing. I used about a cup of my favorite Italian Dressing and a couple tablespoons of mayo. I like my pasta salad a little creamy, which is why I added the mayo. If you want your pasta salad oil-based just leave out the mayo.
Whisk the mayo and dressing together with a whisk or fork until well blended.
Put the drained, cold pasta in a large bowl. Add your veggies. Drizzle dressing on top and mix!
Salt and Pepper to your taste. If you feel like your pasta salad needs more dressing you can mix some more up and add it. Just remember, you can always add dressing, not remove.
Spoon yourself a bowl and enjoy!

There is no doubt in my mind that modern society traps its subjects in an unhealthy and unsuitable environment. That stark realization motivates many of my stories (see here and here, for example). The most disturbing symptom of how toxic our culture has become is the increasingly acerbic mutual distrust evident in current politics. Little wonder so many feel depressed, powerless, and alienated.
Rather than utilizing technology to better our lives, we let it rule us. Distracted by smart phones, buffeted by inescapable sensory overload, and hobbling our discourse in 140-character outbursts at each other, we’re incapable of understanding our own inner selves, much less that of others.
Research shows that reading not only helps with fluid intelligence, but with reading comprehension and emotional intelligence as well. You make smarter decisions about yourself and those around you.
All of these benefits require actually reading, which leads to the formation of a philosophy rather than the regurgitation of an agenda, so prevalent in reposts and online trolling. Recognizing the intentions of another human also plays a role in constructing an ideology. Novels are especially well-suited for this task. A 2011 study published in the Annual Review of Psychology found overlap in brain regions used to comprehend stories and networks dedicated to interactions with others.
The beauty of it all is that when you read, you gain more than just the knowledge contained in the text. The very act of reading builds “white matter” in the brain, thereby boosting the brain’s interconnectivity and ability to function more efficiently.
In the United States — yes, the United States — 1 out of 4 children grow up without learning to read. That’s intolerable. Want to do your part to make the world a better and happier place? Read, and do what you can to help others read.
And if you really get ambitious, and have the nerve to try it, write something beautiful.

Bell began working for Domino’s as a driver in 2000, becoming a manager in 2005, before purchasing his first franchise location in Claremont in 2015. “Domino’s requires those interested in purchasing a franchise location to first start off as a driver and learn the business,” says Bell. “I offer my employees who become supervisors the opportunity to buy into the franchise as a partner and now I have several employee-owner partners.” In Hanover, managers Rob and Jessica Keene are partners in the franchise.

You Jacked My Porsche & My Bling!
“Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta” star Karlie Redd says 2 men broke into her garage and jacked her beloved Porsche, and she’s suing a car dealership for organizing the heist.
Now, the dealership — Vanderhall Exotics of Houston — would call it your run-of-the-mill repo … but in docs, obtained by TMZ, Karlie says her 2014 Panamera was straight stolen. She says she’d made $43,300 worth of payments on the car she purchased for $57,397 — but on February 28, around 2:53 AM, the men forced their way into her garage.
In the suit, she says they also got into her house, stole an unspecified amount of jewelry and clothing … and then bolted with the Porsche. Karlie says she called police and, through an app, traced the car back to the dealer in Texas.
The dealership claims the car was lawfully repossessed, but Karlie strongly disagrees. She’s not demanding the return of the car, but she is suing to get back all the money she’d paid on it.
We’ve reached out to Vanderhall Exotics, so far no word back.

Would it really be Thanksgiving without some good ol’ family shenanigans? Nerissa Hawkinson didn’t think so.
This hilarious mom decided to prank her daughter like a BOSS with an epic “pregnant turkey” joke that has now racked up over 15 million views on YouTube. To give you a little background on the hilarity that is to ensue, Nerissa put a Cornish hen inside the turkey — a yummy addition if you know what’s coming at ya, but a rather horrifying one if you think it’s, well… the turkey’s cooked baby.
Nerissa planned to convince both of her daughters, Nicole and Raquel, that she bought and baked a pregnant turkey. But unfortunately for Raquel, Nicole found the hen in the fridge prior to the prank—so this sis was left to bear the weight of this hysterically mortifying experience alone.
As she dives in the stuffing to discover the “baby,” Raquel’s repulsed face says it all.
“Why is there a turkey inside of a turkey? Oh my god, what is this? Mom this isn’t funny, I’m crying!! Mom, there’s a baby turkey in the turkey. It’s a girl,” she shrieks in terror.

The Laboratory of Ecological Engineering and Technology of the Democritus University of Thrace (DUTH) announced the opening of ODYSSEA-Greece platforms on Facebook and Twitter.
Initially focusing efforts on providing vital information to the mussel farmers located at Keramoti Bay in Kavala Gulf, the ODYSSEA-Greece platforms have added the two other major concentrations of mussel aquaculture in Northern Greece – Nea Makri and Chalastra – within its first ten days.
The platforms are the beginning of a wider effort to bridge the gap between science and local end-users, and serve the data-gathering needs of businesses operating at sea, by sharing real-time data that can help the fishing and aquaculture industries significantly improve their performance.
The Greek platform is essentially a pilot serving as an initial testing ground for the Mediterranean-wide data dissemination framework that the ODYSSEA Project is developing, organisers stressed. Nine regions across the Mediterranean are expected to set up their own social media channels to link with local end-users by September 2017, and the overarching ODYSSEA platform is set to be unveiled in June 2018.
“Similar services may be initiated at all ODYSSEA observatories (and beyond) to cover hot-spot areas of the Mediterranean Sea and develop an active community of end-users ready to use the ODYSSEA Platform once it is ready,” noted ODYSSEA Coordinator Prof. Georgios Sylaios, of Greece’s Democritus University of Thrace.
Only days after launching, the ODYSSEA-Greece Facebook platform has already gathered more than 250 users who have liked or followed it, “and we expect to have more as more areas of interest and more parameters are added,” Prof. Sylaios said.
ODYSSEA-Greece provides sea surface temperature measurements obtained from the EU’s COPERNICUS system satellites, and forecasts about next-week’s sea surface temperature evolution from COPERNICUS system predictive numerical models. Measurements and forecasts of the air temperature (mean, minimum and maximum daily values) are relayed from the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Global Forecast System (GFS). Both the measurements and the forecasts will be presented in the form of a diagram and explanatory text updated daily, together with a summary of wave direction and height and other critical data, for the benefit of mussel farmers and additional end-users. Information on additional parameters, such as waves at sea, currents, concentration of phytoplankton, and more – will follow shortly.
The ODYSSEA-Greece social media initiative has attracted the interest of other local Blue Economy sector stakeholders. After a meeting with the Kavala Port Organization, DUTH has engaged to examine the possibility of providing tailored integrated information services that can support both well-established port activities and newly emerging ones.
Project Coordinator Professor Georgios Sylaios and representatives of the Kaval Port Authority meet to launch the new platform.

Wayfair Kitchen Backsplash – Creative backsplash ideas are saved to display in many homes, with good reason—they can also add tremendous personality and visual interest to the kitchen.
Your options for creative backsplashes are only about limitless, and ultimately the only constraints about the distinctive backsplash you ultimately choose will be your imagination plus your bottom line.
Before choosing a style or materials to get a creative kitchen backsplash, you should define the size—both physical and economic—of your project. Measuring the outer lining part of the walls above your kitchen countertops to determine the square footage you wish to cover is an excellent starting point for, but understand that you don’t will have to hide the complete kitchen wall with all the backsplash (in reality, that design might be too overwhelming, in particular when your intent is merely to acquire creative and have an eye-catching backsplash). When it comes to surface, many householders choose to hide only the portion that will actually get “splashed” during cooking or daily kitchen activities—depending on your home’s layout, that could be the entire wall, 1 / 2 of it or merely a small portion.
Once you’ve settled on the scope of your respective creative backsplash project, you’re absolve to start brainstorming ideas for the materials and theme with the backsplash. It’s definitely possible to put in an artistic backsplash using common materials like ceramic tile or stone in traditional styles like mosaic or subway, but when you are looking to flex your creative muscles, you will likely wish to explore more non-traditional materials. Reclaimed and repurposed materials—from punched tin ceiling tiles to such things as bottle caps, coasters, used gift cards and even pennies—can create an impressively creative and visually appealing backsplash in your home. Most creative backsplash ideas that incorporate found materials genuinely requires some DIY investment of your stuff regarding time (to research in order to find the proper materials) and budget (to acquire the materials, unless they’re already in abundant supply). But what you spend with regards to sweat equity and research time, you’ll a lot more than replace on price savings by not having to employ a contractor or pay high costs for more traditional materials.
Creative backsplashes doesn’t have to be made from found items, though—they might be more simple, and colorful and visually appealing. Many homeowners looking to put in a uniquely creative design for their kitchen have begun to feature “paper” backsplashes. Featuring interesting designs and bold colors on materials like high quality scrapbook paper, old newspaper pages, or even magazine image collages, these backsplashes provide a lot of visual punch in a fraction of the expense of ones made of tile, metal or stone. If you find this method appealing, all you’ll need to do is procure the paper, glue or paste it to the wall, then coat it which has a finish that may protect the paper and allow that you easily wipe it clean.

"Testimony by Diana Sprouse re Mark Bowles"
Mary Neal What sentence did Mark Bowles receive for having an "illegal" epileptic crisis, Diana Beth? You talked to Mark and he told you about the latest brutality he endured?
Diana Beth He received 33 months and another 63 for a total of 99 months in St Cloud Prison.
Diana Beth They keep beating him in the head. I'm filling criminal charges against them for both counts. My son is a vulnerable adult, Mary Neal with brain injuries and brain atrophy. They don't care.
Diana Beth I haven't spoken to my son, but the prison tells me that Stearns County sheriff's did this because my son wouldn't get on his knees. He has a titanium plate in his spine and a spacer where his L-1 Vertebra was shattered. He cannot get on his knees. He wouldn't be able to get up again. They took his cane away too.
We believe that the way Mark Bowles was and is being treated violates the U.S. Constitution, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Civil Rights of Institutionalized Persons Act (CRIPA), the Civil Rights Act, the Convention Against Torture, and Executive Order 13107, implementing human rights treaties.
Diana Beth Thank you Mary Neal for doing this for my son. He called for the first time tonight and said they had slammed his face into the cement when he refused to get on his knees and wasn't walking fast enough for them earlier with his shackles cutting into his ankles. He had been in that restraint chair all day with the shackles breaking through the skin because they were so tight. I hope everyone contacts Governor Mark Dayton about this.
You can see the fresh bruising on Mark Bowles' face. His right cheek is red and swollen, and his left eye looks like it is going to be a black eye. His mother, Diana Sprouse, said that Mark was beaten in the Stearn County Sheriff's Office when he refused to get down on his knees. This is something Mark cannot do because of his back injury and operation, wherein discs in his back were replaced with plastic. He literally cannot get down on his knees, even if he must die for noncompliance. It is not a matter of disobeying orders but physical inability. Please call authorities for Mark Bowles. Even if they do nothing and continue to kill him, YOU will feel better for speaking out against the continued persecution of Mark Bowles for being mentally ill and having an epileptic crisis. Thank you in advance.

The three Guardsmen received ribbons and trophies in a brief awards ceremony Nov. 8, at the Wendell H. Ford Regional Training Center in Greenville, Kentucky, following the competition.
Warriors were tested on their military knowledge and military history; completed an Army Physical Fitness Test; conducted weapons qualification on the M4 rifle and 9 mm pistol; were physically and mentally strained on a stress-shoot obstacle course; ran land navigation and 5-mile ruck march and completed numerous Warrior Task skills before appearing before boards.
Kentucky’s six brigades sent their best and brightest representatives for the annual Best Warrior competition held Nov. 5-7. The three-day competition pushed each of the 15 competitors to their mental and physical limits. The competition is designed to prepare the three winners to represent the Commonwealth at the regional and national level competitions.
For Jones, he’s well aware of how difficult the regionals can be. In 2015, he represented Kentucky as the Soldier of the Year at regionals. After learning from his experience there and competing as a NCO for 2016, Jones said he has one goal.
“Hopefully to win it all this year and take the national,” he said.
Jones said one of his downfalls in 2015 was tackling the state and regional competition as if it was meant for infantrymen, and not encompassing the whole Soldier concept.
“This isn’t infantry of the year, this is Soldier of the Year,” he said.
That same sentiment is what Heath said kept him going through the competition.
“I serve in a platoon of medics; it goes to show that there’s no limits, nothing there to stop you,” said Heath.
Heath said that his preconceived idea that the Best Warrior competition was only for an infantryman is something he wants to ensure other Soldiers don’t think.
“I’ve got motivation to make my peers better Soldiers and better competitors,” he said.
Kentucky State Command Sgt. Maj. David Munden said he was not only proud of the winners, but also of the spirit and resiliency the other competitors exuded.
“These (15) are the best and the brightest of what the Kentucky National Guard has to offer,” he said.
He also thanked the competitors for staying motivated and pushing each other through the stress.
“When you came in on Thursday night, I asked you one thing,” he said. “While you’re driving home, can you look within yourself and say I left it all out there. I did everything I could do, to do as well as I can. And I hope that you did.
“I hope you go home with a satisfied mind and a satisfied soul,” he said.
