Do you feel like chronic pain is ruining your relationship?
Chronic pain can affect even the most solid of couples.
Navigating through life with another person is difficult enough without the added challenge of chronic pain.
The average divorce rate is around 40% but it soars when one spouse has a serious chronic condition.
The chronic pain divorce rate is a whopping 75%.
Chronic pain is invisible – unlike an open wound – there is nothing to show the outside world.
The lack of external signs may make it difficult for some partners to understand.
Athena Champneys has lived with wide pain from fibromyalgia since 2003. Anthena's husband has not been 100% sympathetic.
"I was in so much pain that I couldn't bend over to put on my own shoes or socks," recalls Champneys. "And my husband was like, 'You've got to be kidding me! Get up and deal!"
If you feel like your partner is not supportive – it makes living with chronic pain even harder.
Natural emotional responses such as stress and anxiety, actually make your pain worse.
When you are distressed your body releases the stress hormone cortisol. Cortisol heightens the pain signals your brain receives.
That is why it is essential to reduce your stress to reduce your pain.
Especially if that stress is coming from relationship troubles.
Remember though – chronic pain has a two-way effect on relationships.
Pain affects not only the person in pain but also their loved ones.
Don't let your marriage become another chronic pain divorce rate statistic. The first step is to acknowledge the many ways chronic pain affects both partners.
How Chronic Pain Affects Relationships
Lack of understanding from partner
A lack of shared understanding of chronic pain is very common.
Chronic pain is often caused by an 'invisible illness', such as fibromyalgia, arthritis or back pain. Invisible illnesses can have a toxic effect on relationships. Especially, if one partner is skeptical about the severity (or even validity!) of the pain.
Don't let a lack of shared understanding come between you and your loved ones.
If you can't find the words to tell your partner how chronic pain feels – you might like to draw your relationship with pain.
If you struggle to explain your chronic pain to loved ones you might like this 7-step guide.
Over-protective partner
On the flip-side, an over protective partner can be just as unhelpful as a skeptical partner.
An over protective partner may prevent you from performing daily tasks. Tasks you are perfectly able to perform.
Over protectiveness can lead to unintended consequences. Consequences that make your pain worse through loss of physical strength, confidence and independence.
Changed roles
When one spouse lives with chronic pain there is often a shift in roles.
Pain, fatigue & disability may prevent you from doing normal household tasks – like cooking or cleaning.
Usually the partner has to pick up the slack and take on the extra responsibility.
This can cause feelings of resentment
The person in pain may experience feelings of helplessness, anxiety and low self-esteem.
As we discussed earlier, stress and anxiety make your pain worse.
That is why it is really important to reduce your stress levels.
For more information on pain & anxiety check this out.
Cycles of Miscommunication
It is common for couples with one partner with chronic pain to fall into toxic cycles of misunderstanding.
Lack of understanding works both ways. Both partners fall into patterns of miscommunication.
Many people expect more support but don't know how to ask for it. You might expect your spouse to recognise your needs without prompting.
Unfortunately – nobody can mind read (even your other half!)
It's only natural to respond with feelings of anger or resentment when we don't get the help we need.
We are all guilty of resorting to sighs, moans or tutting when frustrated.
Meanwhile, the other person has no idea what you expect of them.
In the dark about your needs, they may respond in kind.
It is easy to fall into toxic cycles of miscommunication.
Try to be brave and ask for what you need.
We have a handy guide on communication tips here.
Unrealistic expectations
We all want to feel loved & cared. Unfortunately, sometimes your partner just can't give you everything you want.
Every relationship experiences periods where one partner is disappointed by the other. When you live with chronic pain, you may feel unsupported by your spouse. This can lead to feelings of resentment and entitlement.
Researchers followed 106 couples where one partner lived with chronic pain. The research showed those who felt entitled to more support, were more likely to suffer from excessive feelings of pain.
This arises from unhelpful thoughts, like feeling hopeless and helpless and thinking you will always be in pain. This phenomenon, known as Pain Catastrophizing, can cause you to become trapped in unhelpful thought cycles. These unhelpful thoughts increase your stress and your pain.
For more on Pain Catastrophizing – check this out.
Remember – nobody is perfect (not even your spouse). Try not to take disappointment too personally.
Lack of Intimacy
Chronic pain is a powerful passion killer.
It is difficult to feel desirable when living with unpredictable symptoms, chronic pain and fatigue.
Some conditions such as fibromyalgia or endometriosis often make sexual intercourse painful.
Sexual intimacy is a natural part of a marriage. When it decreases (or disappears) it can create feelings of loss for one or both partners
Talk openly about developing problems and try to avoid blame.
Intimacy is important to remain a close connection. Try to find other ways of maintaining intimacy – not necessarily sex.
Changed financial circumstances
Many people living with chronic pain have to reduce hours or stop work completely.
This can bring additional financial hardship.
Money difficulties can add enormous stress to daily life.
It can also impact upon shared goals for the future.
Talk honestly and openly about the shifting landscape of your life. Again – blame is unhelpful and likely to end in hurt feelings.
Try to work together to realign hopes and dreams for the future.
Chronic Pain Divorce Rate: How Chronic Pain affects Relationships
Below are 10 useful tips to reduce the impact of chronic pain on your relationship.
1. Include your partner in problem solving and planning – don't expect them to read your mind.
2. Try not to talk about or demonstrate your distress all the time. Initiate other conversations of mutual interest.
3. Manage your pain using strategies including relaxation, mindfulness, exercise & rewiring your brain. For more information on holistic pain treatments click here.
4. Use slow breathing when you are feeling irritable or angry.
5. Acknowledge your partner's support and his or her feelings. No one likes feeling ignored or being taken for granted (even if it is not your intention).
6. Encourage your partner to allow you to try things again. Even if it will take longer or be less good as if he/she continued to do them.
7. Set goals – recreational and social – to do things together and with others. This is a simple way of bringing you together.
8. Talk as openly as possible about any developing sexual problems. Avoid blame. Aim for possible solutions or things you might try together. Intimacy is important; not necessarily sex.
9. Romance shows you care. Give compliments, make uninterrupted time for each other, special dinners and give flowers or gifts.
10. Relationships are salvageable but it does take both parties to want to work on it. Talking things over with a Psychologist or Counsellor can also be very useful.
Navigating relationships is a challenge for every couple. When you add the two-way influence of chronic pain it can complicate relationships even further.
As with everything about life improving and maintaining relationships takes dedication and practice. Discuss the suggestions with your loved ones. Try to take small incremental steps every day to work towards a happy life together.
We have also included a list of tips for your family members on how they can best help you to manage your pain.
The divorce rate when one partner lives with chronic pain is almost 75%. That means the chronic pain divorce rate is a whopping 35% higher than the national average.
Making a life with another person is difficult enough for all of us.
Chronic pain can create a huge variety of challenges such as lack of understanding, loss of intimacy, changed roles and financial burdens.
Be careful not to fall into cycles of miscommunication which can have a toxic effect on relationships.
Try to talk openly, honestly and without blame.
Remember none of us can mind read!
Ask for what you need and try not to be resentful if your spouse doesn't quite deliver on everything you hoped.
Display gratitude for one another and try to keep the romance alive.
Even small gestures like flowers, 'thank you' or a cuddle on the couch can help your spouse to feel loved and appreciated.
Relationships are salvageable but it does need both parties to want to work on it.
Hard work and dedication can guide even the most troubled relationships into the calm and off the rocks.
What do you do to stop chronic pain impacting on your marriage?

Student-Led Engagement
Bard undergraduates are actively engaged in a variety of projects and volunteer efforts on campus and off, during the academic year and during intersession and summer breaks. The Trustee Leader Scholar Program oversees several dozen student-led projects each semester; examples of these initiatives can be found immediately below and throughout this chapter. The College also works with affiliated institutes, local and international partners, alumni/ae, and others to provide internship opportunities.
Trustee Leader Scholar (TLS) Program In keeping with Bard's ethos of encouraging active involvement at all levels of campus life, TLS students design and implement civic engagement projects based on their own compelling interests and the needs of communities. At any given time, the program has between 45 and 55 formal TLS scholars, but for every scholar leading a project, another 10 students participate. Most projects run for multiple years, and several have run for more than a decade. Current TLS projects include helping to restore the vote for formerly incarcerated men and women in New Orleans, running educational and arts programs for children in a small Nicaraguan village, running ESL programs for migrant laborers and their families in the Hudson Valley, offering play and educational support for behaviorally challenged youth, and building a youth center and playground in a West Bank village. A number of TLS projects have become permanent, College-sponsored initiatives, including the Bard Prison Initiative; La Voz, a Spanish-language magazine widely circulated in the Mid-Hudson Valley; Bard Early College in New Orleans; the Bard College Farm; and Brothers at Bard. Others have won Davis Projects for Peace, including Cuerdas para Cali (Strings for Cali), a group of Bard music students who coach a classical youth orchestra in the Siloé slums of Cali, Colombia.
Every Bard student is eligible to apply for TLS status. Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis, and acceptance is based primarily on the student's willingness and capacity to direct a large-scale project. Student leaders receive stipends in exchange for their participation in the program. TLS students meet one-on-one with the program director and assistant; take part in skill-building workshops; and prepare formal project proposals, budgets, and evaluations. They are offered hands-on opportunities to acquire skills in grant writing, lesson planning, and group facilitation. TLS workshops also deal with public speaking, effective interpersonal communication, and awareness building around issues of power, authority, and difference. All TLS projects draw on the participation and support of volunteers from the student body and greater Bard community. For more information, visit cce.bard.edu/community/tls.
Bard Leads is a student-run leadership conference that explores the many ways leadership is defined and practiced at Bard. The conference, held before the start of the fall semester, helps participants—a mix of first-year and returning students—understand the range of leadership opportunities on campus and off. Through workshops, talks, and open dialogue "conver-sessions," students learn how to get involved in the Bard community.
Student Fellowships are available for students interested in creating projects that focus on elections, women's leadership, global civic engagement, and activism. Students hone leadership and media skills while developing projects that engage the Bard student body and community in Annandale and beyond.

text: How Can I Reduce My Energy Costs? Posted January 24, 2019 Throughout the coldest and hottest weeks in Phoenix, your heating and cooling system is an important ally in keeping your home comfortable. On the other hand, it's also your worst enemy when trying to decrease your energy consumption. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, your HVAC system could account for nearly half of your energy usage. That hefty draw of energy makes your HVAC unit an ideal place to start improving your energy habits. Whether you're looking to decrease your carbon footprint or want to lower your energy bill, there are plenty of ways—big and small—to manage how your heating and cooling system consumes energy. Switch Out Your Air Filters The air filters in your HVAC system are important to maintaining your home's air quality. They help collect a variety of debris—including dust, dirt and other small particles—and block them from polluting your house. However, more than just your air quality suffers when your filters are full of debris. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, a dirty filter can decrease air conditioner efficiency by up to 15 percent. Replacing your air filter regularly keeps your system from using an excessive amount of energy. Replace one-inch pleated filters once a month. Remember, filters may need more frequent attention if your HVAC system is in constant use, is subject to dusty conditions, or you have pets inside. Call Dial One Mears Air Conditioning & Heating Inc to find out what frequency of filter change is right for your system. Schedule Timely HVAC Service If you depend on your HVAC system to operate as efficiently as possible, routine maintenance is significant. Once it is spring, have an HVAC professional review your air conditioner and clean its coils, check refrigerant levels, adjust system controls and more. In the fall, have them return to check up on your furnace and make adjustments before the winter weather sets in later. Routine maintenance confirms your equipment is ready to work exactly as it was planned to—with peak efficiency. Dial One Mears Air Conditioning & Heating Inc professionals are well-equipped to help your system get back on track. Switch Out Your Thermostat Lowering that utility bill can be as stress-free as adjusting the temperature in your home while you're asleep or away. The closer the house's temp is to the conditions outside, the lower your energy bill can be. However, this doesn't mean you'll need to take drastic measures each day. The U.S. Department of Energy recommends lowering or increasing (depending on the season) your temperature by easily resetting your thermostat when you are asleep or not at the house. You could make these adjustments manually each day, but a programmable thermostat streamlines the process. These thermostats allow you to set a schedule for your HVAC system and automatically adjusts the temperature in your home to meet that temp. A smart thermostat takes your control a step further, often allowing you to monitor the temperature wirelessly from almost anywhere. Talk with Dial One Mears Air Conditioning & Heating Inc to see if either of these options would be beneficial for your home. Upgrade Your Equipment Out-of-date HVAC equipment can be a burden on your energy bill every month. Whether they're no longer running efficiently, are the wrong size for your home or lack the energy efficiency new systems provide, there's a good chance your system is costing you extra money if it's more than 10 years old. When you've come to the conclusion it's time to look for a replacement system, Dial One Mears Air Conditioning & Heating Inc is here to help. We'll help you get to know different efficiency ratings and select a system that will work for your needs. If you have other questions about monitoring your energy costs, need to schedule maintenance or want to discuss new system selections, the team at Dial One Mears Air Conditioning & Heating Inc in Phoenix is all set to guide you. Call us at 602-832-7808 or schedule an appointment online. Back To Blog

Happy Friday! This weekend, I'm heading to Hilton Sandestin Beach Golf Resort & Spa in South Walton, Florida for a girls' getaway with my friend, Kit! After weeks of snow, freezing temps, and ice in Chicago, we're ready for a warm escape and a dose of sun and sand. In fact, we were originally scheduled a visit a couple weeks back, but a major Chicago snowstorm resulted in flight cancellations. What a mess! Thankfully, the team at Hilton Sandestin were incredibly understanding and accommodating. I'm truly amazed at how seamlessly they re-scheduled our trip – impeccable service! I'll be documenting the entire experience on Instagram Stories, and you can also follow along on @HiltonSandestin's page for my Instagram Takeover on Saturday.
Today's post is from last weekend's trip to Houston. Before heading home on Sunday, we took some time to take a few photos for the blog. As always, the colorful walls and murals in Houston never disappoint! Thanks to the warm Texas weather, I was able to bring along my two favorite Persifor dresses. The Connecticut-based brand always has the loveliest island-inspired prints, all of which are designed and developed in house. I found that both styles fit true to size.
Lastly, be sure to scroll to the bottom of the post to discover all of my favorite links from around the web!

Also known as Peruvian ginseng, maca is growing in popularity because some studies suggest the root may help with hormone-related conditions like reproductive health. But proceed with caution, says Hultin. "Keep in mind that a lot of the research on maca is in animal studies," she says. "It has been used traditionally for fertility and enhancing sexual function, but these are subjects that you really should discuss with your doctor first to make sure that there are no underlying medical issues." The NaturaLife Maca delivers 950 mg per vegan capsule and contains black, red, and yellow maca. These are the supplements doctors always take on vacation.
Navitas Organics Goji Berries

Today's goji berries are yesterday's pomegranate seeds. These petite ruby red sun-dried berries are only mildly sweet, which means they can be used for a nutritional boost in both sweet and savory foods, such as salads, smoothies, trail mix, and more. Navitas Organic's Goji Berries are both USDA-certified organic and verified non-GMO. They're high in vitamin A, a powerful antioxidant. "Gojis are great! So are all berries," Hultin says. "They all contain fiber, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, naturally."

Friday Night Dialogues: Film explores life of a rock n' roll originator
He wasn't as flashy as Little Richard, Chuck Berry or Buddy Holly, but he had more charted hits than the three of them combined. He sold over 60 million records, including five that went "gold" before 1955, influencing Elvis Presley, Paul McCartney, Elton John and scores of other musicians in the process.
In a fitting event for Black History Month, the Shelter Island Library's "Friday Night Dialogues" will present "The Big Beat: Fats Domino and the Birth of Rock n' Roll" on February 17 at 7 p.m. The film will provide an opportunity to learn about the life and music of the legendary Antoine "Fats" Domino, who, along with long-time collaborator Dave Bartholomew, produced some of rock 'n' roll's biggest hits, including "Blueberry Hill," "I'm Walkin'" and "Ain't That a Shame."
Filmmaker, music archivist and documentarian Joe Lauro was introduced to Mr. Domino over 10 years ago by a woman who attended the premiere of "The Wildest," another documentary by Mr. Lauro about Louis Prima. An intensely private man, Fats told Mr. Lauro, "I don't want to be documented by nobody!" But eventually his attitude softened, and the two partnered in the making of this film, which first aired on PBS on February 26, 2016, Mr. Domino's 88th birthday.
The film focuses on Fats' early years and his collaboration with Mr. Bartholomew.
"These guys were doing rock 'n' roll before it had a name," Mr. Lauro says. "That New Orleans beat can be heard in so many different types of music. Even Ska owes some of its style to Fats Domino."
Fats' 1956 performance of "Blueberry Hill" on the Ed Sullivan Show, along with a clip of "Ain't That a Shame" at L.A.'s 5/4 Ballroom, are indicative of how his music cut across racial lines in what was then a largely segregated America.
One key to the development of this documentary was the discovery of a film of a complete concert with Fats' original band, filmed at the Antibes Jazz Festival in France in 1962. As Mr. Lauro told the New York Times' Alan Light in an interview last year, "That inspired me to get over the other hurdles. Everything I needed was in that concert — they lead a second line through the audience, there's great piano playing. Then I knew I needed to make the film."
Fats' last top 100 hit was his 1968 cover of "Lady Madonna," a song that, according to Mr. McCartney, owes its memorable piano hook to Fats Domino's influence.
The airing of the film on PBS last year was edited from the 90-minute "Director's Cut" that will be shown in its entirety at the Friday Night Dialogues presentation. The evening will be hosted by local musician and writer, Tom Hashagen.
Up Next: On Friday, February 24 at 7 p.m. come by the library for our "Battle of the Brains" trivia night with master of ceremonies Reporter Columnist Bob DeStefano. Register your team of four at the library circulation desk.

I gave up clothes for Lent.
Of course I'm not wandering around naked until Easter, but I am not buying anything new during this season. Why? Because buying clothes during Lent would only serve to parade my excess.
I just finished reading Jen Hatmaker's Interrupted*, which is the kind of book I end up highlighting nearly half of because it is JUST SO GOOD. One of the chapters that stood out gave statistics on global wealth disparity that are basically mind-boggling:

What a surprise! Apparently I was featured last week, but I guess CBC doesn't give notice as to a) if you are picked and b) when you will be featured. Nonetheless, I am totally stoked! To see my entry click here. Once on that page, there is information available about how to become a 'featured reader' yourself. I always enjoy learning about the reading habits of other individuals, and CBC gives you the opportunity to do that. CBC's Books always has great reviews, polls, specials, and debates (check out the chick-lit debate) on now!). They are also available on Twitter @ http://twitter.com/cbcbooks.

Ex-city teachers aid N.C. schools
In 1997, Danbury educators Kathy Dzubak and Kathy Smith helped win Danbury a $1 million 21st Century Grant to pay for after-school programs in the local schools.
The two educators left Danbury - Dzubak in 1998 and Smith in 2003 - and ended up a few miles away from each other in Brunswick County, N.C.
Last spring, they collaborated on a 21st Century grant proposal for the county schools and just learned Brunswick County will receive $1.3 million to expand its after-school programs.
"Danbury has done Brunswick County well," said Smith, who will be project manager of the grant, as she was for the Danbury grant. "God intended it would work. I had attended all the national and regional meetings during the grant process in Danbury and we had the knowledge to piece it together."
Dzubak moved to North Carolina in 1998, and owns a gardening business and retail store. She met people in the schools community who learned about her grant-writing skills.
Smith moved to Brunswick County, which is on the coast, last year and took a job with Communities in Schools, a non-profit organization that provides programs to enhance the work in the schools.
When the 21st Century grant was brought up Dzubak volunteered to write the proposal and Smith was given time to do the needed field work. The district applied three times before without success.
"When we got through, we had a good feeling about it," Dzubak said. "Then, lo and behold, they got it. We were thrilled. For me, I never thought I'd be doing this again. It's a nice influx of money for after school programs. It's truly fate. It was meant to be for this county. It's not like Kathy and I see each other all the time. We came together to do this and we did a good job."
The two women's success was no surprise to Danbury associate superintendent William Glass.
"KD (Dzubak) was a superstar in Danbury and Kathy Smith had extraordinary skills," Glass said. "It's an extremely difficult grant to win. Not only do you have to conceptualize a wonderful idea but show how it will play out with the kids."
He said the two women have large visions.
"Both of those women see beyond what a typical person sees. When other people see a situation, they see an opportunity," he said.
Glass said he provided a recommendation for Smith when she was hired for the Communities in Schools job last year.
"I'm delighted. They're wonderful people," Glass said. "It's typical that they would continue to do great work for kids."

PTA Spam Email
It has come to my attention that a Spam Email is going around and I wanted to make you aware of it. See below for an image of it. This is email is NOT from Fairview Park PTA. One way you can check is to look at the email address (the Council President Email is not at an AOL account) as well as the fact that it states PTSA (Fairview only has PTA and not PTSA, which involves students as members). If you have ever a question about an email you have received, please reach out to me (Christine McElwee) at [email protected]il.com. Thank you!

Add interactivity to your Lucidchart diagrams by adding actions to shapes! Actions allow you to turn any object on your canvas into a button that triggers activity when clicked. You can link your shapes to other pages of your document, external web pages, and even use them to toggle your document's layers.
Choose your action type from the top of the modal, then follow the prompts (see sections below for details).
- Select the Document option from the Actions modal.
- Click Browse Documents to pull up your documents page.
- Click the thumbnail of the document you'd like to link to and use the arrows to toggle to a specific page.
- Click Select.
- Select the Web option from the Actions modal.
- Paste the URL that you would like to link to.
- If you would like the URL to load in the same page as the document (rather than open in a new window), un-check the box next to Open in a new window. Otherwise, keep this box checked.
- Select the Page option from the Actions modal.
- From the dropdown, select the page that you'd like to link to, or click the + sign to create a new page in your document and link to that page.
- Select the Layers option from the Actions modal.
- Select a layer or multiple layers from one of the dropdowns.
- Check the boxes next to the layer(s) you'd like to hide/show/toggle with the action, or click the + sign to create a new layer to act upon.
- Click Done.
- Click the Email option from the Actions modal.
- Enter the email address that you would like the triggered emails to be sent to.
Transform your Lucidchart documents into interactive diagrams with actions and hotspots! Actions allow you to turn any shape on your canvas into a button. Read on to learn how actions can help you organize complex documents.
We'll start with the company fact sheet template to demonstrate how you can improve any document with a few easy steps. The company fact sheet template sets up a brief visual summary of your company for prospective clients, investors, or employees. The template provides spaces for you to showcase your company's history, products, and goals, as shown below:
Although this template acts as a great starting point, actions allow you to go the extra mile to really impress your audience. Instead of a simple text box with your company's social media handles, add an action with an external link that sends them directly to your pages. By reducing your audience's effort, you can increase engagement.
Similarly, don't just add logos to show that your top clients are ING, Amazon, and CVS. Add an external link action to the logos that takes your audience directly to your clients' corporate websites. Additionally, if you want to highlight specific accomplishments or projects completed for that client, you can add a page to your document by clicking the icon at the bottom of your canvas. Then, showcase your best work on that page and add an action to the logo that opens the page, as shown here:
(You can learn more about how to use pages in this article.)
Whether you want to display client projects, connect photos to LinkedIn profiles, or toggle additional content with layers, actions help you organize your document to avoid overwhelming your audience. Try it out for yourself with the blank company fact sheet template, or any other Lucidchart document!
Hotspots are shapes to which you attach an action. You can drag hotspots from the standard shape library and drop them on your canvas, and they remain independent from any other shape. Actions, on the other hand, are attached to a specific shape.
Can I add multiple actions to the same shape?
Yes! You can add a second (or third, etc.) action to a shape by following the same steps you did to add the first action.
How can I trigger the action associated with a shape when I am in the Lucidchart editor?
To trigger the action associated with a shape from the Lucidchart editor, press command/ctrl > Shift, then click on the shape.

Royal wedding gospel choir surprises airplane passengers with STUNNING a cappella flash mob performance of ' Stand By Me'
- Publish Date
- Thursday, 24 January 2019, 3:05PM
Whether travelling for business or leisure, we all know how boring and painful long flights can be.
But some lucky passengers onboard a British Airways flight to Australia got front row seats to a mini-concert fit for royalty!
That's right. The gospel choir who serenaded Prince Harry and Meghan Markle at their wedding last year surprised travellers with a live rendition of Ben E. King's 'Stand By Me'.
Kingdom Choir members had subtly taken their seats on the plane before breaking out into an impromptu a cappella flash mob towards the end of the flight to entertain their unsuspecting fellow passengers.
• Kiwi police's stunning A Capella performance will blow you away
• Watch: A cappella group's MEGA MASHUP of iconic girl groups throughout the ages will blow you away!
Their performance was received with excitement and cheers as many passengers brought out their phones to film the event as others stood up to dance and sing along.
Global public relations manager for BA, Emily Coen said: "The passengers were delighted and surprised as they were tired after such a long flight."
Why does stuff like this never happen to us when we fly?!

Mayor Bill de Blasio said today he supported a federal proposal to ban smoking in all public housing nationwide, though he admitted there were challenges with enforcement his administration "would have to work through."
"The goal is a good one," Mr. de Blasio told WNYC's Brian Lehrer. "We've gotta figure out how to make it work on the ground. There's a lot to work through but you cannot have second-hand smoke pervading a public housing building without creating a real health danger to its residents."
Mr. de Blasio said the "bottom line" was the plan would not take effect for another year, giving the city time to work through the logistics of such a sweeping change within its public housing stock. "The goal here is commendable…I think what's becoming clear is a no-smoking policy protects the health of our people, particularly our children and our seniors."
Mr. de Blasio revealed that he suffers from asthma and said the reduction in second-hand smoke would help people like him. "I go by smoke, I feel the effects immediately," he said, arguing it was especially important to reduce second-hand smoke in low-income areas.
The Department of Housing and Urban Development, where Mr. de Blasio once worked, is seeking to ban indoor smoking in all public housing nationwide. The rule would include, in addition to apartments, all common areas and administrative offices. What officials have yet to determine is how the smoking ban would be enforced inside apartments, and if residents will ultimately choose to comply. Critics of the plan say it infringes on the privacy rights of public housing residents.
Shola Olatoye, the chairwoman and chief executive of the New York City Housing Authority and a de Blasio appointee, sounded less enthusiastic about the proposal in a recent interview with The New York Times.
"For us, the major issue is our ability to enforce something like this," she said.

The Mediaeval Mind: A History of the Development of Thought and Emotion in the Middle Ages - Vol. 2
The Mediaeval Mind: A History of the Development of Thought and Emotion in the Middle Ages - Vol. 2
The instances of romantic chivalry and courtly love reviewed in the last chapter exemplify ideals of conduct in some respects opposed to Christian ethics. But there is still a famous poem of chivalry in which the romantic ideal has gained in ethical consideration and achieved a hard-won agreement with the teachings of mediaeval Christianity, and yet has not become monkish or lost its knightly character. This poem told of a struggle toward wisdom and toward peace; and the victory when won rested upon the broadest mediaeval thoughts of life, and therefore necessarily included the soul's reconcilement to the saving ways of God. Yet it was knighthood's battle, won on earth by strength of arm, by steadfast courage, and by loyalty to whatsoever through the weary years the man's increasing wisdom recognized as right. A monk, seeking salvation, casts himself on God; the man that battles in the world is conscious that his own endeavour helps, and knows that God is ally to the valiant and not to him who lets his hands drop -- even in the lap of God.
Among the romances presumably having a remote Breton origin, and somehow connected with the Court of Arthur, was the tale of Parzival, the princely youth reared in foolish ignorance of life, who learned all knighthood's lessons in the end, and became a perfect worshipful knight. This tale was told and retold. The adventures of another knight, Gawain, were interwoven in it. Possibly the French poet, Chrétien de Troies, about the year 1170, in his retelling, first brought into the story the conception of that thing, that magic dish, which in the course of its retellings . . .

I love jiu jitsu. i do it on Monday, Wednesday and friday. We work very hard. My sister got her yellow belt. I have 9 more days to I get my yellow belt.
jiu jitsu
One Response to jiu jitsu
Hey Owen!
I'm a friend of Sam's, and he mentioned your website when I was talking with him today about binary and hexadecimal numbers.
I also like jiu jitsu! I used to practice on Monday and Thursday, but then I moved to a new city in a new country, and now I only practice once per week – but three hours each time! I find it to be incredibly interesting, and a lot of fun. I enjoy it a lot!
This summer I was fortunate to be able to watch a japanese master and his students demonstrate ancient jiu jitsu techniques using wooden shinai and katanas! It was quite impressive!
Maybe you are now 4 Kyu with a nice orange belt – congratulations on your achievement!
Keep training – it is lots of fun to learn the more advanced techniques, but it's important to continue practicing the basics, because they are used over and over again, even in the most advanced Dan techniques.
Your Arduino looks like fun too!
Greetings from Peter in Germany

In 1943, Radcliffe College accepted a donation of materials from Maud Wood Park, and the small archive documenting women's suffrage became known as the Woman's Rights Collection. Over the years, the collection expanded until, in 1965, it officially became a library named after the Harvard historian Arthur M. Schlesinger Sr. and his wife, Elizabeth Bancroft Schlesinger. Now, 75 years since that first donation, the Schlesinger Library is known as the foremost repository of materials about the history of women in America. The Library planned a number of anniversary events to mark the occasion, culminating in a night of song and conversation.
This celebration featured a preview of music from The Suffragists, a musical in development by the New York–based songwriter and performer Shaina Taub, about the life of Alice Paul, a radical suffragist and the National Woman's Party founder. The project, which captures the power and passion of American women's fight for the vote, was incubated in the Schlesinger Library's collections.
Following the concert, Jane Kamensky BI '97, RI '07—the Carl and Lily Pforzheimer Foundation Director of the Schlesinger and the Jonathan Trumbull Professor of American History in the Harvard Faculty of Arts and Sciences—led a multidisciplinary panel discussion that featured Corinne T. Field, the 2018–2019 Mellon-Schlesinger Fellow at Radcliffe and an associate professor of women, gender, and sexuality at the University of Virginia; Carol Oja RI '17, the William Powell Mason Professor of Music in the Harvard Faculty of Arts and Sciences; and Susan Ware AM '73, PhD '78, an advisory council member, the Honorary Women's Suffrage Centennial Historian at the Schlesinger, and the editor of Notable American Women: A Biographical Dictionary Completing the Twentieth Century.

OK, this is freaky. I wrote a blog yesterday that was focused on how the science behind major orthopedic surgeries was collapsing-i.e. many large studies are showing surgery doesn't work. Enter stage left a study just out this morning that shows that common meniscus surgeries are linked to the rapid onset of arthritis! How many times do I need to say that every patient with a meniscus tear needs to be searching for meniscus surgery alternatives…
The concept that surgery is needed for meniscus tears was always shaky. Most patients conceptualize these procedures as a repair of the meniscus, but in fact more 90% just remove the torn part of the mensicus. Since the mensicus is an important spacer that protects the knee cartilage from too much force, why would taking any of it out be a good idea? It isn't. We've known since the 1940s that removing meniscus tissue was a dumb idea. Later studies were able to quantify just how much we were adding forces to the cartilage by removing these torn meniscus pieces. More recently, four big studies demonstrated that meniscus surgeries were not effective in pretty much any clinical circumstance. However, the new study takes that further, it suggests that meniscus surgery is downright harmful to the knee.
The new study was presented at the RSNA annual meeting. The retrospective study followed patients with and without meniscus tears and who did and didn't have surgery with imaging of the knee as part of a larger group of patients who were being tracked for arthritis. A startling 81% of the patients who had meniscus surgery developed arthritis within 1 year after the procedure! More surprisingly, all of the patients that developed arthritis over the one year observation had had meniscus surgery (31/354 patients) versus none in that larger group who didn't have surgery!
The upshot? Can we now say that outside of circumstances where the patient can't walk without surgery due to a locked meniscus, surgery for a meniscus tear is a really dumb idea? How much more evidence do we need before insurance companies begin widely refusing to cover these ineffective and potentially harmful surgeries? In summary, after reviewing the science behind knee meniscus surgery, likely 99% of the patients who are getting operated for a knee meniscus tear should not be operated.

I'm amazed people are still using this meme format in 2016. Regardless of the message, this is disgusting.
@Anonymous1416504856 uhhh.... last time I checked, people were allowed to express their opinions however they want. SJWs want that to stop, but that doesn't change the fact that how a message is conveyed doesn't determine how valid the message is.
But this is comedy- it doesn't matter.
At least she didnt ROLL OVER on her staff. As if, she actually sits around, like most millionaires,and types ALL her own emails. I could not care less what they said, at least they didnt say "women who have abortions, should be put in JAIL.
Watch RT much? This meme is nothing but kremlin propaganda.
@Anonymous-764135633 Your mother not getting that abortion after being raped repeatedly by her brother is nothing but kremlin propaganda.
yeah it's kind of easier to find something that isn't deleted, dumbass
@Anonymous-1594058877 well dumbass theres one versus 33,000 and the e-mails should not be totally lost her service providr or at least her phone should still have some traces left
@Anonymous-382829214 -- I seem to recall quite a few Government Officials, who have lied, cheated & stolen.
Shes not one of them, she just didnt lay the blame at the feet of an employee. Thats called honor .
Think you can do better?

The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and the University of Wisconsin have put together a web site which compares the health status of counties within states. Originally done by the University of Wisconsin for Wisconsinites, last year they expanded it to all (well, all but 115) counties in the United States. The local paper dutifully published an article, identifying Mobile County as a low performing county (#46, down from #43 last year) and the neighboring county of Baldwin as a high performing county (#3). The next day, the paper decided to get serious, publishing an editorial identifying what was measured
Social factors and health habits are taken into account in the health rankings, including obesity, smoking, high school graduation rates, air pollution, access to health care, access to exercise and life expectancy.
and pointed out that perhaps building a walking trail would solve all of our problems
From a health standpoint, trails offer cheap and easy opportunities for exercise. Families can walk together; those beginning an exercise program can try a one- or two-mile stretch of trail and improve.
In reality, being third in the 45th ranked state is nothing to brag about. Anyone who knows anything about who lives in cities as opposed to who lives in suburbs likely can make an educated guess as to why Baldwin (suburbs) has better health statistics than Mobile (city) and it has little to do with a 2 mile walking trail.
A more interesting comparison tool, found here, compares counties against others of similar demographics and economics. In this comparison Mobile County still doesn't fare very well (average life expectancy 73.6 years, peers 73.5-77.8 years, every marker worse than peers except immunization rates and prenatal care access) but Baldwin is no great shakes either (average life expectancy 76.6 years, peers 75.5-78.2 years, worse than peers except in breast cancer survival, infant mortality, and suicide rates).
The purpose of the rankings is not, or so says the University of Wisconsin, to facilitate boosterism but in the hopes that communities will use this information to work towards improving the health of the citizens. I hope that the local paper (as well as the media outlet of any communities whose "rankings" were not what they would like) will look at this page where action steps are discussed. These action steps include working together as a community, finding programs and policies that work, implementing strategies, assessing needs and resources, evaluating efforts, and picking priorities. Additionally, they have targeted advice for community leaders, educators, health professionals, and government officials, and public health officials.
Here is the advice for the community leaders, in case anyone from the local paper is paying attention
- Get the word out. Reach out to people you know and see every day about the County Health Rankings report, e.g., at a local Chamber of Commerce breakfast or at an urban planning meeting. Post information about the report on a listserv, website, or e-newsletter.
- Organize. Meet with local leaders and community residents to discuss barriers to health and ways to overcome them. Host a town hall meeting or invite people to one.
- Get policymakers to pay attention. Tell them about how their county or counties ranked and open a dialogue about ways to improve health in your community.
- Be an advocate. Step out as a spokesperson about the rankings and the health issues you care about and rally other community leaders to take action.
- Contact your local public health department about participating in a local task force or, if none exists, organize one to tackle these pressing issues in your community.
- Ask your local or state health department about what they're doing in response to the report to make sure you aren't duplicating efforts.
- Share your resources. Offer your time, staff, and/or funding with community partners. These are resources that can go toward community plans and programs aimed at tackling factors that affect health.
- Communicate your message. Write an op-ed or talk to local media about the rankings and what needs to be done to improve the health of your community.
- Start a conversation. Talk to your friends, colleagues, neighbors, and family members about the health of your community and what everyone collectively can do to make it healthier.
Now that the word is out in Mobile, I hope we're able to make the rest happen here.

Once again New Jersey online poker operators collectively reported their lowest amount of revenue last month. According to figures released by the New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement (DGE), a mere $1.56 million in revenue was generated during November, falling below the previous low point of $1.6 million recorded in September.
Because of the Thanksgiving holiday, November often falls short of the revenue levels achieved in October. That tendency held true last month, and the overall downward trend of the market which has produced declining annual revenues for 20 of the last 21 months continued as well.
The struggling poker market occurs at a time when revenue from online casino games has achieved another all-time high, notching $25.4 million in revenue, more than 16 times the amount collected from online poker rake and tournament fees.
The New Jersey gaming market is also in the midst of a growth period for sports betting, following the repeal of the 1992 Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act which limited single game sports wagers to the state of Nevada. Since the first sports bet was taken in the state back in mid-June, operators have taken in nearly $1 billion in sports wagers which have produced $73.2 million in revenue. Last month, sportsbooks in New Jersey brought in $21.2 million in revenue, 68% of which was generated from bets placed over the internet. The $14.4 million in online sports betting revenue is 9 times the amount collected from poker tables online.
- Largest player pool in New Jersey
- Compete for World Series of Poker bracelets from New Jersey
- Great Sign up bonus and player rewards
The partypoker and PokerStars networks are hoping to see relief from the shrinking poker market next year after the neighboring state of Pennsylvania comes online with its real money internet poker market. Though no date has been set for the launch of the Pennsylvania market, it is expected to open sometime early in 2019, most likely in Q1.
Once the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board (PGCB) gains a sufficient level of comfort that the online poker market is functioning as expected, it will turn its attention to topic of cross-border liquidity sharing.
As a peer-to-peer game, online poker differs from other online gaming verticals which are played against the house instead of other players. Because of this difference, online poker depends on a large pool of players in order to offer a variety of games and big tournament cash prizes.
Gaming regulators in New Jersey, Nevada and Delaware have an agreement in place to allow their licensed operators to combine their online poker player pools across state lines. Because only the All American Poker Network (AAPN) has online poker rooms in multiple states, operators on the partypoker and PokerStars network find themselves at a competitive disadvantage.
WSOP.com and 888 (operating on the AAPN) are the only online poker rooms in New Jersey reaping the benefits of multi-state shared liquidity. Since the virtual poker tables were opened up to include players in Nevada and Delaware, WSOP and 888 have been the only operators in the New Jersey market to post year-over-year revenue increases.
However, both partypoker and PokerStars are expecting to launch in Pennsylvania, and according to New Jersey DGE Director David Rebuck, Pennsylvania regulators have been in talks with New Jersey regarding the sharing of poker player pools since at least 2017.
The addition of Pennsylvania's nearly 13 million in population would be a significant increase over the potential player pool of 9 million people that reside in New Jersey. Using the success of the AAPN is an indication of how revenue could grow from adding just 4 million in population (the combined amount of people in Nevada and Delaware), an additional 13 million in potential online poker players should be more than enough to allow the New Jersey online poker market to flourish.

The new items, infused with hemp oil, arrive after the debut of Willie's Remedy Coffee, and Willie's Remedy Hemp Oil Tincture.
"Willie's Remedy is all about giving people easy access to the healing benefits of hemp in the same way we look to other plants for wellness," Annie Nelson said. "By expanding our product line to include a topical, tea and decaf coffee, we hope to bring this amazing plant to new audiences."
Willie's Remedy Relief Balm is inspired by a cannabis topical that Annie Nelson created in her kitchen and has used for years, along with her husband, his band and numerous friends.
"Studies have shown hemp compounds have the ability to reduce inflammation," she said. "So whether you're a touring musician who plays 100 shows a year or someone with regular garden-variety aches and pains, this balm is a great plant-based essential."
"Just like our coffee, our teas are pure plant beverages," she said. "The infusion process to add the hemp extract to the tea is all-natural, with no added chemicals, preservatives or binding agents."
"Everything we create for Willie's Remedy, we use," she said. "We're believers in the therapeutic power of plant-based wellness and of bringing hemp compounds into our daily diet. All of these products are made to support health and complement a life well-lived."
All products are available online and at select stores beginning in July, in time for Willie Nelson's 4th of July Picnic in Austin. The annual event takes place at the Circuit of The Americas and features Willie Nelson & Family, Luke Combs, Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats, Alison Krauss, Jamey Johnson, Steve Earle & The Dukes, Colter Wall, Hayes Carll, Ray Wylie Hubbard, Gene Watson, Billy Joe Shaver, Johnny Bush, Folk Uke, Raelyn Nelson Band, The Casey Kristofferson Band and David Allan Coe.

Are you interested in helping your kid start a first business like a lemonade stand, but need some backup? Consider signing up your budding entrepreneur for National Lemonade Day. Many communities hold coordinated Lemonade Days sometime in May. Signups are underway now.
When they participate in Lemonade Day, your child gets a free backpack filled with everything they need to know about running a successful small business. This includes an explanation of the mysterious "supply costs." Parents of first-time stand proprietors can tell you: Most kids have no idea that someone actually has to pay for lemonade and other ingredients, then get reimbursed from the stand's profits. In other words, ingredients aren't magically produced for free by Mom and Dad.
Adult Supervision Required
Each Lemonade Day setup kit also includes an adult guide. The sponsoring nonprofit organization, Prepared 4 Life, requires kids to partner with a responsible adult—a parent, grandparent, teacher or neighbor—on the project. The guide prompts adults to ask the kids key questions to help them set financial goals, choose a site for their stand, create an advertising plan and more.
This project also emphasizes the three-jar money concept of spending, giving and saving. Once kids earn their Lemonade Day profits and pay for their original supplies, they get to:
- Keep some of their earnings
- Connect with a local bank to save some of the profits, and
- Choose a charity to which they'll donate a portion of their funds
The Lemonade-Day Advantage
Of course, you can always help your kid start a drink stand—or a dog-walking or lawn-mowing business—on their own, anytime. The coordinated Lemonade Day project just gives your kid's business some extra structure and support. Plus, local organizers often connect kids with sponsoring community organizations.

Truancy board sees progress in year
PITTSFIELD — State's Attorney Zack Boren, who serves as presiding officer Pike County Truancy Review Board meetings, said he believes the second year of the program has gone well.
During the 2016-17 school year, the board heard more than 40 cases of truancy, or permitting truancy, involving minors and parents in all four Pike County school districts. The board levied hundreds of dollars of fines against parents who permitted truancy and required community service from minors who were truant.
"Our success rate was approximately 65 percent," Boren said, "meaning in 65 percent of cases we dealt with the issue at the administrative level and did not have to file in juvenile court."
The success rate the first year of the program was about 52 percent.
Truancy is defined as being absent from attendance at school without valid cause for a school day or portion of a day. However, most cases do not go before the board until there are seven unexcused absences.
The board will begin meeting again in September. It meets at the Pike County Courthouse the second Tuesday of each month during the school year.
"We are pleased that there was a reduction of cases this year," said Angie Ruebush, principal of South Elementary School and a member of the board. "Our underlying goal in creating the truancy review board was to ensure that we set all students in Pike County up for school success. It is our hope that many of the students who have come before the review board will stay on track and achieve academic success."

Inside: Teach your preschoolers basic shapes with this fun mouse and cheese shape matching game for kids. These are part of the ultimate printable activities for kids collection.
I hate to admit it, but looks are important to me. And I'm not talking about people.
I'm talking about everything.
The way my house looks.
The birthday party invitation I send out.
Yep, even the learning activities my kids do.
It's weird I know, but hey, I feel good when something is functional and pretty. I'm not the only who feels this way, right?!
So, when I decided to create a file folder game for my 3-year-old to keep him quiet during church, I wanted it to be educational and cute.
This is what I came up with:
This post contains affiliate links for your convenience which means if you purchase something from my links, I earn a small commission. You can read my full disclosure here.
Mouse & Cheese Shape Matching Game
I think these little mice are adorable! And of course, what goes better with mice, than cheese?
This activity is so low prep that it's kinda my favorite one so far 😉
Need more low prep activity ideas? Check out these free Disney coloring pages, these fun color by number printables or these fun preschool board games parents will also enjoy!
Below are some supplies you'll need.
- White card stock (this paper is my favorite)
- Scissors
- Mouse & Cheese Printable Set
- Laminator (optional)
- Laminating pouches (optional)
- File folder (optional)
- Adhesive velcro (optional)
You can purchase the mouse and cheese printable set directly from the buy button below:
I always like to give a sample so you can see if this is an activity your child will actually enjoy doing (because isn't planning and purchasing something that doesn't work the worst?!).
Game play with these little rascals is simple. All you need to do is print out the pages on heavy, white cardstock, then cut all the pieces out.
Next, laminate them if you'll be reusing them often (this greatly increases durability).
If you only want to play with this shape matching game at home, then you're done!
If however, you want to take these on the go with you, I recommend turning them into an easy to carry file folder game.
To do that, simply attach adhesive velcro on the backside of each mouse and cheese shape. Then, place the coordinating velcro piece onto the file folder.
I haven't made the file folder game version yet, but when I do, I plan to use only 4 mice at a time. I'm also going to stagger the mice up and down so they have more space between them and have the spot for the cheese shape to velcro beneath the mouse.
I'm crossing my fingers that this game will keep my little one entertained at least for a few minutes during church next week!
In this sample pack, you can download a free square, rectangle and triangle mouse and cheese matching sets by entering your email in the form below.
