AP – IOC vice president backtracks on Rio criticism
IOC vice president backtracks on Rio criticismWithin days of describing preparations for the Rio 2016 Olympics as "the worst I have experienced," International Olympic Committee vice president John Coates back-tracked on the criticism and said he was confident Brazilian organizers will deliver a great event. Coates, who has visited Rio six times as part of the IOC Coordination Commission which monitors preparations, said in a statement dated April 30 that organizers "recently took a number of measures designed to make sure that we can together deliver a great Games … (and) a lasting legacy for the people of Rio and Brazil." "Following my statements yesterday about the upcoming Games in Rio I want to underline that I still believe that (the) Rio organizing committee and the people of Brazil can indeed deliver excellent Games in 2016," he said. Coates launched an unusually blunt warning during an Olympic forum in Sydney on Tuesday, saying the IOC had "become very concerned" because the Brazilians are behind "in many, many ways" and are in worse shape than Greek organizers were in preparing for the 2004 Olympics. "And this is against a city that's got social issues that also have to be addressed a country that's also trying to deal with the FIFA World Cup coming up in a few months," Coates told the forum, highlighting the problem-plagued preparations for the World Cup that kicks off in June. Two years out from the Rio Olympics, the situation on the construction of games venues is just as bleak. Work hasn't begun at Deodoro, a complex for eight Olympics sports venues, and the course that will host golf's return to the Olympic program for the first time in more than a century doesn't have grass yet. Water pollution is a big worry for sailing and other sports. The IOC attempted to defuse the tension following Coates' initial comments with a statement outlining changes already underway in Brazil. It mentioned working "with our partners" in Rio on measures to "support the games," including establishing joint task forces, a local construction manager and a high-level decision-making body "bringing together" the IOC, the government and all key partners of the project. The IOC said there would be more "regular visits" to Rio by executive director Gilbert Felli, the senior troubleshooter sent to the city last week as part of a series of actions to tackle the delays. Rio organizers responded to the criticism by saying they know what needs to be done, and cited "unequivocal signs of progress" recently in the city's preparations. "We have a historic mission: to organize the first Olympic and Paralympic Games in Brazil and in South America," the Rio committee said. "We are going to achieve this. In 2016, Rio will host excellent games that will be delivered absolutely within the agreed timelines and budgets." Late Wednesday, Coates said he was heartened by reports from Felli on the progress and to hear that Rio was addressing the specific concerns of the 17 international sports federations that were raised at a meeting in Turkey last month regarding their venues."We are all buoyed by the positive response of the City Mayor Eduardo Paes and the Rio organisers today," Coates said. "The Mayor, Brazilian Government and organizing committee all have our full support and, as I said yesterday, there is no plan B. We have to make this happen by working together over the next two years

Islamic Deception & The 5 Headed Hydra
"War is deceit." Mohammad (Bukhari Vol 4, Book 52, hadith 269)
Americans who understand the threat from the Islamic Counter-state, especially those trained by UTT, are done giving leeway to conservative "leaders" who continue to fall prey to deception from muslims portraying themselves as ever-more friendly, but operating on behalf of America's enemy.
The Political Warfare model uses "splinters" – elements of the same enemy appearing to work against each other while actually propelling the broader joint-objective forward.
Islam gives American leaders many different views of itself to give the impression there are "many interpretations" and "many versions" of Islam, while always moving towards an Islamic State under sharia.
For the purposes of this discussion UTT is using a five (5) headed hydra with each different head often appearing to work against the others while actually all support the same goal – keep the body (Islam) alive and dominant.
One head represents Islamic jurists teaching allah's divine law – sharia. Sharia comes from the Koran and the example of Islam's prophet Mohammad. Watch videos of the world's most prominent Islamic scholars when they speak to muslim audiences and you will hear them saying exactly what Al Qaeda says about Islam.
A second head represents violent jihadis, such as fighters from the Islamic State, Al Qaeda, Hamas, Hizbollah, Al Shabaah, Boko Haram, Islamic Jihad, and many others. When put in front of a camera, these people often speak raw truth about doctrinal Islam. Sometimes you will hear them condemn the suit-wearing jihadis for not picking up weapons and fighting. Sometimes these condemnations are legitimate per sharia, but for the non-muslim public witnessing these disagreements, it gives suit-wearing jihadis room to distance themselves from those who have the same objective as them – an Islamic State under sharia.
The Muslim Brotherhood (MB) leaders wear suits and meet with Members of Congress, the FBI, Chambers of Commerce, and others. MB leaders point to Al Qaeda and the Islamic State and condemn them for crucifying people and stoning them to death, even though they actually support these actions because they are lawful under sharia. Relative to the Islamic State and Al Qaeda, Muslim Brotherhood leaders in suits appear "more moderate" and they use this to get non-muslim officials at the local, state and federal level to draw them in for "advice." Yet, MB leaders are speaking more freely these days because they believe they are close to victory.
As Muslim Brotherhood leaders speak more truthfully about Islam and sharia, more Americans are becoming aware of the Muslim Brotherhood's modus operandi and their threat to local communities. Astute citizens now realize leaders from the Islamic Society of North America, CAIR, Muslim Public Affairs Council, Muslim Advocates and others are hostile to America's laws and founding principles. So "moderate muslims" – the 4th head of this hydra – are coming out of the woodwork.
Relative to the deceiving Muslim Brotherhood leaders, "moderate muslims" appear more…moderate. "Moderates" who are getting air time in "conservative circles" include people like Shireen Qudosi, Raheel Raza, Reza Aslan, Qanta Ahmed and others.
Qanta Ahmed is exhibit A.
This past weekend while appearing as a guest on Judge Jeanine Pirro's show, Qanta Ahmed said, "(Anti-semitism) is also profoundly against Islam, which reveres the Torah and Judaism."
Unfortunately, Judge Jeanine, normally strong on national security issues, nodded her head in agreement.
Even a cursury study of basic Islamic teachings reveals Qanta Ahmed's statement is objectively false.
See UTT's recent article on Jew-hatred/anti-semitism in Islam here.
"Moderat muslims' comments about Islam are often objectively untrue and have no basis in fact. Therefore, professionals must ask themselves, "Are these people intentionally lying or just ignorant?"
UTT believes the practical reality is that in either case, no one should be relying upon these people for advice on how to fight and win this war.
The fifth and final head of this hydra are jihadis posing as former muslims. To be clear, UTT works with former muslims who work tirelessly to speak truth about Islam at great risk to their lives. We are not talking about these people.
UTT is cautioning folks not to simply take someone at their word when he/she says he/she is a "former muslim" until proper due diligence is complete.
There is a reason Coptic Christians in Egypt do not let muslim converts have positions of leadership in their church for decades. Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps sends its operatives to four years of Christian seminary in order to penetrate and identify members of the underground Christian movement in Iran. Even in the U.S. people posing as former muslims have turned out to be working for the cause of Islam.
Remember, this war is an information war. It is a war of narratives. The enemy uses deceit as a primary weapon in this war, and they have many layers in their strategy.
Since U.S. Islamic schools teach muslim children the same information about Islam and the duties of muslims Al Qaeda teaches, people who say "Islam does not stand for violence/Jew-hatred/conquest" are either ignorant or lying, and in either case, mature responsible adults should not put such people in positions of trust and confidence.JGAl Azhar, Al Qaeda, Apostasy, CAIR, Civilization Jihad, Donald Trump, Fox News, Hamas, Hezbollah, Hillary Clinton, History of Islam, honor killing, hudud, Imam Feisal Rauf, information battlespace, Information Dominance, Information Warfare, Interfaith Outreach, International Muslim Brotherhood, ISIS, Islam, Islamic Center of Minnesota, Islamic Jurisprudence, Islamic Law, Islamism, ISNA, jihad, Jihadi Attacks, John Guandolo, Minneapolis, mohammad, Mosque, mosques, Muslim, Muslim Advocates, Muslim Attacks, Muslim Brotherhood, Muslim Mafia, NAIT, Radical Islam, Saudi Arabia, Secretary of State, sharia, State Sponsors of Terrorism, Terrorism, United Nations, US Muslim Brotherhood, US Palestine Committee, USA v Holy Land Foundation, UTTal qaeda, Al Shabaab, America, Boko Haram, CAIR, caliphate, Chamber of Commerce, Congress, Coptic, Council on American Islamic Relations, Egypt, FBI, Hydra, Islam, Islamic Jihad, islamic law, Islamic Society, islamic State, Jeanine Pirro, jihad, koran, Muslim Advocates, Muslim Brotherhood, Muslim Public Affairs Council, political warfare, Qanta Ahmed, Quran, Raheel Raza, Reza Aslan, sharia, Shireen Qudosi, Splinters

Govt offices inactive in most of Paktika districts
Govt offices inactive in most of Paktika districts
SHARANA (Pajhwok): Residents of southern Paktika province say government departments have been inactive in most of the districts and people have to travel to the provincial capital, Sharana, for official tasks.
Mohammad Aslam, a resident of Nika district of the province, told Pajhwok Afghan News that not even a single government organ was operating in the district.
"If we want to apply for a Tazkira (identity card), we must travel to Sharana for that and bear travel fare, hotel expenses and spend three days there, it is a big problem for us," he said.
Musa Khan, a resident of Gomal district, also said most of government offices including judicial organs were inactive in their district.
"People always face problems and they need to address them through judicial organs which do not exist in districts, there are no Hajj and Islamic Affairs and Population Registration offices in our district and we have to go to Sharana for these works," he added.
A number of residents of other districts made similar complaints. Local people say only a number fewer number of government services are available in Khushamand, Nika, Omna, Gayan, Zirok, Gumal, Barmal, Wormami, Wazakhwa and Terwa districts of Paktika.
A civil society activist in Paktika, Jamil Ghairat, said only security forces existed in Khushamand, Nika, Omna and Gayan districts while government organs were unavailable there.
He said besides the absence of judicial organs, many other government offices were also inactive in Zirok, Gomal, Barmal, Wazakhwa and Terwa districts.
A provincial council member of Paktika, Abdul Mobin, told Pajhwok that government organs were not operational in more than 10 districts of the province.
"Our first demand is security in these districts and then government services," he said.
Deputy Paktika governor, Sher Badshah Urgoni, acknowledged that government organs were inactive in some districts due to what he said security problems.
"It is a fact that even judicial organs are unavailable in some districts, but we are trying to reactivate all offices with the passage of time," he said.
Officials of Omna, Zirok, Gayan, Terwa and Wazakhwa districts perform their formal activities from Sharana city and people of the mentioned districts have to travel to meet them for addressing their formal tasks.

De Montfort pays the biggest penalty as Hefce confirms grants. Simon Baker writes
Universities and colleges that recruited too many students in 2009-10 will have their grants cut by a total of almost £16 million next year, it has been revealed.
The Higher Education Funding Council for England said the fines for over-recruitment, which amount to £3,700 per student for 4,235 excess places, would affect about 60 institutions across the sector.
De Montfort University will suffer the biggest adjustment - a £3.4 million grant cut - for recruiting 913 too many students, while the University of Hertfordshire loses £1.9 million for over-recruiting by 502.
Other big losers include Edge Hill University, which is being docked almost £1 million for enrolling 268 too many students, and Middlesex University, which over-recruited by 203 students and is losing £750,000.
More than £500,000 has been docked from the University of Bolton (which over-recruited by 172), the University for the Creative Arts (146), Keele University (137) and Nottingham Trent University (160).
A Hefce spokesman said that most of the other adjustments were relatively small and the total of £15.7 million accounted for a fraction of the overall £4.7 billion teaching budget.
As reported in Times Higher Education in May, De Montfort had been facing a fine of more than £4 million for breaching its limit, which was imposed by the Labour government in 2009.
Dominic Shellard, De Montfort's new vice-chancellor, said the institution "fully accepted" the fine and was now working to overhaul its admissions procedure. He added that since taking office last month, he had brought fresh people into senior roles, created a new executive board and "completely rebuilt" De Montfort's relationship with Hefce.
The fines for institutions were announced as Hefce confirmed its grant allocations for 2010-11.
Overall, the sector is receiving more funding than set out in Hefce's provisional allocations, announced in March, mainly due to the government's University Modernisation Fund (UMF), which will fund 10,000 extra student places next year.
In total, the increase is worth £21 million compared with Hefce's provisional allocations. Just over a third of institutions (90) will receive more funding, while the remaining 163 have seen a cut.
Although an extra £152 million is now being provided by the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills under the UMF, the sector is also being hit by £82 million in efficiency savings as part of the coalition government's demand for £6.2 billion in immediate spending cuts.
Hefce has also warned institutions that their grant allocations for 2010-11 could be reassessed if - as is likely - the government's Comprehensive Spending Review, due in the autumn, leads to reductions in the BIS budget for the next financial year.
The further cut could be necessary because of the overlap between the financial and academic year.

Impacts Analysis for Critical Habitat Designation for the Endangered U.S. Distinct Population Segment of Smalltooth Sawfish (Pristis pectinata)
Published Date:2008
Description:This report identifies and analyzes the impacts that may result from the proposed critical habitat designation for the U.S. distinct population segment (DPS) of smalltooth sawfish (Pristis pectinata). Section 4(b)(2) of the Endangered Species Act (ESA) requires that the Secretary of the Department of the Interior (DOI) or the Department of Commerce (DOC) designate critical habitat for listed species based on the best scientific data available, after taking into consideration the economic, national security, and other relevant impacts of specifying any particular area as critical habitat. We have determined that the physical and biological features essential to the conservation of the smalltooth sawfish found within the specific areas proposed for designation (which constitute nursery areas for sawfish) consist of red mangroves and shallow euryhaline habitats. These features provide nursery area functions to sawfish, such as predator protection and abundant food resources, which will allow juvenile sawfish to recruit into the adult population. The two areas containing the essential features are comprised of a total of 840,472 acres on the southwest coast of Florida. The first area is the Charlotte Harbor Estuary Unit and the second area is the Ten Thousand Islands/Everglades (TTI/E) Unit.

Photography Applied to the Ornamenting of Silk Stuffs
Photography Applied to the Ornamenting of Silk Stuffs
M, Persoz, professor of chemistry at the Conservatoire des Arts et Metiers, of Paris, says the London Engineer, has just published a most interesting discovery of his, by which photography may be applied to the ornament: ing of silk stuffs. The bichromate of potash is a substance commonly used in photography, being extremely sensitive to light. If a piece of silk stuff impregnated with this salt be ex-posed to the rays of light penetrating through the fissures of tie window blinds in a dosed room, the points where the stuff has received these rays of light will assume a peculiar reddish tint. Now, suppose a piece of metal, or of strong paper, to be cut out after a given pattern, and to be laid on a piece of silk prepared as before, if exposed to the sun, or, better still, to simple daylight, the pattern will be reproduced in a few seconds. The pale red which the exposed parts acted upon assume, is so permanent that nothing can destroy it ; nay, I will fix other colors, such as madder, campeschy, &c., just like a mordant, and in that cast it will modify the color of those substance in absorbing it. The process may be varied as follows .—Let, a fern leaf be placed upon a piece of prepared silk, and kept flat upon it by a pane of glass ; then that part of the silk which is protected by the leaf will retails its original color, while all the rest will receive the impression of light, as above descried, forming the ground upon which the figure of the leaf will appear in white, grey, or other color the silk may have had before the operation. The richest pat-terns may be thus obtained on plain silks, and at a comparatively small expense.

Thanks so much for all the awesome recommendations in the comments on yesterday's post. After reading those I cancelled the foam pillow order because I was concerned about the thickness of it. It hadn't shipped so it was no problem cancelling it. I don't think the other pillow has shipped yet either, which is strange because normally Amazon ships quickly. I'm tempted to cancel it, too because I found a pillow yesterday afternoon that's working great, well at least it worked great for last night.
Michele mentioned in a comment yesterday that she likes the pillows she gets at Dollar General. She said they are so inexpensive, she's able to easily replace them whenever needed. Since I was desperate for something while I awaited the pillows I had ordered (see yesterday's post for details) I drove over to Dollar General. Sure enough, they had squishy flat pillows that felt right and looked the perfect height. They were priced at only $2.97. I purchased one and will definitely be going back for another one.
I knew the second I lay down last night that it was perfect. When a pillow is right, you know it the second you rest your head on it. The pillow I purchased at Dollar General is by Comfort Bay and is called: "Standard Basic Essentials Bed Pillow" in "Medium." It's hypoallergenic and can be machine washed. They had a "firm" version but that one was fatter so I knew it wouldn't work for my needs. It's actually better than my old pillow because it's squishier. So, last night I was easily able to adjust it to support my neck.
I'm still going to check out some of the other options mentioned in the comments, including the "My Pillow" that so many of you recommended, so thank you for that! If you like a low profile (meaning not too high) pillow that's very malleable, check out the pillows in your local Dollar General. I never would have thought to check there for a pillow so thanks to Michele for telling me about those!
Beach Cottage Tour
Speaking of spring, how about a wonderful beach cottage tour! This adorable ocean side, cedar cottage was built by Whitten Architects for a couple who are empty nesters but who still enjoy entertaining family and friends on a regular basis. It's located in Georgetown, Maine and replaced a ranch home that wasn't holding up well to the harsh environment of the Atlantic Ocean.
I love how it sits atop a rise affording great views for the downstairs as well as the upstairs.
Every cottage home needs a cottage garden…I'm pretty sure that's written somewhere in the cottage rules handbook. 😉
If you ever get tired of those ocean views (like that would ever happen!) there's a rocking-chair front porch to enjoy. I love how they've used rock to create the paths to the home. It's abundant in the area and fits perfectly with the home's surroundings.
After seeing so many beach homes with blue and white living rooms, I loved the emphasis of yellow in this beach cottage.
This really feels like a place you could relax and kick back with friends and family.
Instead of the standard picture or mirror over the mantel, a sailboat beautifully fills the space. I think the chaise would be my favorite spot with the fireplace close by and wonderful views of the ocean just ahead.
Notice how they were able to use the floor of the gallery area above to support the lighting for the eat-in bar below…brilliant!
My favorite room in this delightful cottage is this 3-season, screened porch.
The porch is built with antique window panels. I wonder how they work…if the windows are removable for summer. Or, perhaps the top panels slide downward to let in the ocean breezes through the top section of the windows. I love the yellow ceiling above. It contrasts beautifully against the ocean blue seen through the windows and the blue sky above. Love this room!
The views are amazing! Wouldn't you just live out here all day?!
The bedrooms are cottage cozy, also with wonderful ocean views.
I love the drawer storage built-in under the eves!
You see it again on this side. Such a great use of what's normally dead space.
Lots of bunk space for visiting grandchildren.
Every bedroom has an ocean view.
Can you just imagine how the waves must sound crashing against the shore!
I caught a snippet yesterday of the show, The Doctors. They were discussing how so many of us are suffering from Vitamin D deficiency and that now they have found a link between lack of Vitamin D and Type 2 diabetes. Did you hear about that? That popped into my head as I was looking at the Adirondack chairs and imagining just leaning back, eyes closed, soaking up the sun.
You'll find additional information and pictures of this wonderful beach cottage at Whitten Architects where these pictures were found.
Love a great beach house? Take a tour of this one…it reminds me so much of the house in the movie, Something's Gotta Give: Beach House To Rival The "Something's Gotta Give" Beach Home

Six Steps to Organize Your Neighborhood
Six Steps to Organize Your Neighborhood
The Neighborhood Resource Program is here to work in partnership with you and your neighborhood to help you make positive changes in your neighborhood. If there is an active neighborhood organization in your area we will be able to put you in contact with the group leader so that you may become involved. If there is no active neighborhood organization in your area you may want to help start one. Our office is here to help you. For more information call the Neighborhood Resources Program at 303-651-8444.
Step One: Volunteer to be a Neighborhood Organizer
- Talk to your neighbors to see who is interested in organizing your neighborhood. Ask a few neighbors to form a "core group" to share the responsibility. Start by talking to people that you already know, and introduce yourself to others. The core group is there to support each other to get your association off the ground.
Step Two: Call a Meeting of Your Core Group
- The Core Group meeting can be held informally at someone's home or at any other small meeting location.
- Invite the Neighborhood Resource Coordinator to the meeting. The Neighborhood Resource Coordinator will discuss the advantages of starting a neighborhood organization and be available to answer questions that may come up.
- The core group votes on whether to proceed with organizing their neighborhood.
- The Core Group suggests the tentative boundaries of the neighborhood and helps plan for the full neighborhood meeting.
Step Three: Call a Meeting and Invite all Your Neighbors
- Bringing people together in a meeting provides an opportunity for neighbors to get to know one another and share ideas and concerns. Set a date, time and location for the meeting. Hold the meeting in a neutral location such as a school, church, or public building, or in any location where people feel comfortable.
- Invite the Neighborhood Resource Coordinator to discuss the advantages of starting a neighborhood group and to answer questions that may come up.
- Develop the meeting agenda. The purpose of this meeting is to:
- Discuss the importance of having an organized neighborhood.
- Conduct a vote to determine if the neighborhood wants to organize.
- Conduct a vote to determine the boundaries for your neighborhood.
- Conduct a vote to elect a Neighborhood Group Leader to represent your organization in the Neighborhood Group Leaders Association.
- Create a flier based on your agenda. Include information on who, what, where, when, why, and how long the meeting will last. Include the things you want to accomplish in your first meeting. The Neighborhood Resources Program will assist in printing your flier.
- Pass out fliers to houses in the neighborhood. Ask several neighbors or a local Boy Scout Troop to help pass out fliers and remind others of the meeting. Place the fliers in storm doors or on porches. Person-to-person contact is the best way to involve individuals as well as spread information about the meeting.
- Make it comfortable and informal and provide refreshments. Make sure there is time for people to socialize and get to know one another. Be sure to include teens and older children who wish to get involved.
- It's all right to start small. Don't feel discouraged if only a few individuals are willing to participate. Membership and interest will grow over time and will fluctuate, but all neighbors should be included.
Step Four: Facilitate the Neighborhood Meeting
- Take care of final meeting arrangements before the meeting begins. Allow enough time before the meeting to set up the room. It's helpful to have a board to write on. A sign-in sheet for neighbors' names, addresses, phone numbers, and E-mail addresses should be placed on a table near the entrance. Nametags will also help the neighbors become acquainted.
- Greet your neighbors as they arrive. Let them know you appreciate their participation.
- Start your meeting on time. Begin by introducing yourself. You also may want a volunteer to take notes.
- Ask everyone to introduce himself or herself. Ask each person to tell a little about themselves. This will help everyone to feel comfortable and allow folks to get to know each other.
- Review the agenda. Stress that the focus of the meeting is to discuss the formation of a neighborhood organization. Discussing issues and concerns and developing solutions can be accomplished as part of the ongoing partnership that will be developed between your neighborhood and the City.
- This is your neighborhood meeting. The Neighborhood Resource Coordinator will be there to discuss the advantages of having a neighborhood organization and answer any questions.
- Conduct votes to:
- Determine if the neighborhood wants to organize.
- Determine the boundaries for your neighborhood.
- Elect a Neighborhood Group Leader to represent your organization in the Group Leaders Association.
- To wrap up the meeting:
- Plan your next meeting. Set the next meeting date, time, agenda and location. Let people know that they will be reminded by phone or flier. Ask your neighbors to bring another neighbor to the next meeting.
- Review and summarize what was accomplished at the meeting. Remind volunteers about their tasks for the next meeting.
- Close the meeting. Thank everyone for attending and for his or her interest.
Your neighborhood will accomplish its goals by getting everyone involved. At the first meeting, you may want to choose co-leaders. Ask for volunteers to help with future meetings, to create fliers, to create a neighborhood directory and/or neighborhood map, set up a phone tree, or host the next meeting. All ideas are welcome and worth consideration. Make and distribute a list of everyone's name address, phone number, fax number, and e-mail address. Set up a phone tree to notify neighbors about meetings, events, and other timely information.
Step Five: Continue to Hold Regular Meetings
- Plan regular meetings to accomplish your goals.
- At the end of every meeting plan the next meeting. This will help maintain interest and focus. Think about starting a neighborhood newsletter.
- Maintain communication among your neighbors.
Step Six: Have a Celebration!
- Celebrate the neighborhood working together by having a picnic or dinner. At the celebration, briefly cite the neighborhood's accomplishments.

Help us raise future heroes today.
Across 2017 you helped us change lives. Thanks to you, Tasmanians like Karen, Phil and Chas are looking forward to a happier Christmas, with a special canine companion by their side.
You can read their stories below, to find out just how Taylor, Yoda and Abby have changed their handler's lives.
Or, you can listen to them here:
Regaining a lost life
Until Karen met Guide Dog Taylor, she had no idea just how isolated she had become. She was staying at home. She didn't want to go out and talk to people, let alone strangers. She was depressed and hiding from the world.
But Taylor has opened up a world to Karen that she never thought she'd get back. He has given her hope.
While she has always lived with low vision, it was only recently that it deteriorated to the point where Karen needed a white cane to get around safely. Her whole lifestyle changed and she found it difficult to adjust. The cane did the job, but there was something missing.
A lover of dogs, Karen missed the companionship that they provided. She'd had a wonderful pet dog, and never thought she would find another. But just three months ago, she found that in Taylor. They just clicked.
Karen is now starting to regain her old lifestyle. She's choosing to head out and meet up with friends. She's no longer hiding. And shortly, she'll be travelling interstate for the birth of her granddaughter. She'll be in unfamiliar places, but Taylor will be there to guide her.
With Taylor, anything is possible. And Karen has Taylor because of your support.
Experiencing special moments
Across 2017, long-term Guide Dog handler, Phil, has been challenging people's ideas of what someone who is blind can do. Along with his beautiful Guide Dog, Yoda, the 49-year-old has been tackling one fun run after another, working with Yoda to get to the finish line. And every time, they do.
Phil never questions what he can do or can't do, and Yoda helps him get there.
It's not just these "big" challenges that Yoda has been there for. Because of Yoda, Phil is able to pick his son up from school, every day. Because of Yoda, Phil is able to travel safely through the streets of Hobart where he works, every day. These are small things that many of us take for granted. But for Phil, being able to do these things is what makes his life ordinary, and enjoyable.
Because of your support, Phil can enjoy the big things in life, as well as the little things.
A bright future ahead
This year, we placed our first official Companion Dog with a young man who was in desperate need of a life-line.
At the start of the year, Chas, 28, was experiencing panic attacks on a daily basis. They were debilitating, and it was exhausting. His whole life was impacted; from his relationship with his girlfriend, to his studies at Uni. It was hardly living.
But things changed when Abby entered his life.
This gorgeous black Labrador who, although unable to become a Guide Dog due to a skin condition, has given Chas hope when he needed it most. She saved him.
Abby is more than a pet for Chas. She is the one thing that is always by his side. With a simple "kiss" or nudge, she can pull him free when no one else can. She is the reason that his panic attacks have almost completely stopped. But you are the reason that the two have found each other.
Your support has given Chas a future to look forward to. A future to plan, with the people that are most important to him. It's something that everyone should have the opportunity to do.
Meet our future heroes!
They don't know it yet, but in two years' time Guide Dog pups Gilbert, Grady, Elly and Derek will all go on to change the lives of four Tasmanians. Whether it's as a Guide Dog, Therapy or Companion Dog, we have the people and the programs in place to make sure that this happens.
One thing that isn't guaranteed is money.
These pups will cost over $140,000 by the time they've graduated. It's a long journey, and an expensive one. But we feel confident in asking for your support, because we know that you know just how important these dogs will be for the people they end up with.
Here in Tasmania, the number of people waiting for a Guide Dog is growing. We're also getting more and more enquiries about our Therapy and Companion Dogs. The number of pups coming into the program and then graduating is critical in meeting this demand.
We want to keep the waiting list down, so we can start changing lives sooner rather than later.
With your donation, we can get these four pups – and future pups – to the finish line, where we know great things will happen.
Please consider making your tax-deductible donation today. Your gift will ensure that by this time next year, we will have more inspiring stories of hope, freedom and choice to tell. And you will have helped create them.
Thank you, and Happy Christmas.

What our customers say
"To say we were totally pleased with our Ecostar windows and doors is an understatement. Instantly, the traffic noise was a thing of the past and the house was so quiet. Wonderful. And, despite energy costs having really increased over the last few years, our bills were around 40% lower than in the past. We sold our home for $1.2 million and, bearing in mind where we live, we would never have got anywhere near this price if we had not invested in Ecostar Double Glazing."
Alan and Jan Hume
South Yarra
"I could not be more delighted with such a positive result. We can hardly hear any traffic now, even at peak hours on the freeway. We are sleeping so much better too. In summer the house is noticeably cooler and we use hardly any air conditioning. We can look forward to winter for the first time since we moved in"
Angelina L
Box Hill
"We had our first five windows and a door replaced with Ecostar double glazing four years ago and loved the results so we saved up to get the rest of our house double glazed and we couldn't be happier. The windows look fantastic, they're more secure, save us money on energy bills and we're less bothered by outside noise. Ecostar's service was excellent and their installers did a fantastic job, even taking away the old windows as part of their service."
Peter and Jill Garbett
"From the very first meeting it was clear that Ecostar was very professional. We quickly reached the conclusion that Ecostar products were of very high quality. The windows are looking great and we are very happy. I have just completed the Customer Service Survey and I am pleased to say I gave Ecostar top marks for their sales presentation, their surveyor, the office team and their installers. We will defnitely recommend Ecostar to our family and friends."
Nick Pattison
"Our house now looks fantastic. People walk through the house and cannot believe how much warmer the house has become. The 90% noise reduction has blown me away."

I have been trying new recipes to see if we would like them for winter. I have been experimenting with a lot of casserole dishes. I found this one online and it looked warm and yummy! Also, very quick and easy to make! It took me about 15 minutes to prepare and an hour to bake. We served it with green beans and it was a wonderful dinner. Since hash-browns are in it we tried some ketchup with them....it adds to the taste. If you are a ketchup fan like me try some, it was good!

MEEKER | The Meeker Town Board of Trustees held a brief regular meeting Tuesday in which they approved the preliminary step toward annexing property east of town along Hwy. 13 that currently houses Valley Hardware and the former BLM building. There will be an April 3 public hearing on the annexation.
The trustees also approved the renewal of a 3.2 beer liquor license for Watt's Ranch Market, and renewed the annual Ute Park lease agreement with the Meeker Classic.
Classic director Maym Cunningham thanked the town for their help, and shared statistics about the annual event. "We had a new app this year for tracking our attendance, we had 6,700 come through for the trials."
According to the statistics, the Meeker Classic consistently brings in spectators who stay in town for 2-3.5 days and participate in two to three additional activities outside the Classic. According to their figures, the Classic generates between $750,000 and $900,000 for the community.
"We're trying to bring people downtown and help local businesses," a said. This year they added an art, wine and cheese event and the Jammin' Lamb Festival. "People came for the Jammin' Lamb Cookoff," she said, "Without knowing anything about the Classic. It could be huge."
This year's trials will be held Sept. 5-9.
Kelby Bosshardt with Better City said they will be developing the consulting firm's 2018 work plan to include suggestions and direction received from the town and county.

Back in July, I had lunch with my good friend Peaches, who has been very sick for a very long time; we hadn't seen each other in a while. We wanted to meet somewhere between the two of us — she coming from Harlem, me coming from Brooklyn. For some reason, the first place that popped into my head was Veselka, the 24-hour Ukrainian diner in the East Village. If you haven't heard of Veselka, it's a serious NYC institution but one that I never really got familiar with. I had a mediocre meal of their famous buckwheat pancakes way back when I first moved to NYC, but that was the last of it. We met there and waited about 10 minutes to be seated — there's no list, the servers just kind of keep an eye on who has come in and who will be seated next.
I chose the Deluxe Vegetarian Plate, which would give me a sample of lots of different Eastern European classics. You get your choice of soup, and I chose the cold meatless borscht. This was only my second time eating borscht, but man was it good. Sweet and rich from beets and (maybe) cream, garnished with a sliced hard-boiled egg and diced cucumbers, I drank it down it record time.
The plate itself came with the following: three pierogies (cheese, potato, and sauerkraut & mushroom), kasha (aka buckwheat groats), and meatless stuffed cabbage with a mushroom gravy. Lots of browns on that plate. It was all pretty good, though nothing stood out as excellent, and it was not nearly as exciting as the borscht.

Member Since:
Jan 27, 1986
Goal Type:
Olympic Trials Qualifier
Running Accomplishments:
Best marathon: 2:23:57 (2007, St. George). Won the Top of Utah Marathon twice (2003,2004). Won the USATF LDR circuit in Utah in 2006.
Draper Days 5 K 15:37 (2004)
Did not know this until June 2012, but it turned out that I've been running with spina bifida occulta in L-4 vertebra my entire life, which explains the odd looking form, struggles with the top end speed, and the poor running economy (cannot break 16:00 in 5 K without pushing the VO2 max past 75).
Short-Term Running Goals:
Qualify for the US Olympic Trials. With the standard of 2:19 on courses with the elevation drop not exceeding 450 feet this is impossible unless I find an uncanny way to compensate for the L-4 defect with my muscles. But I believe in miracles.
Long-Term Running Goals:
2:08 in the marathon. Become a world-class marathoner. This is impossible unless I find a way to fill the hole in L-4 and make it act healthy either by growing the bone or by inserting something artificial that is as good as the bone without breaking anything important around it. Science does not know how to do that yet, so it will take a miracle. But I believe in miracles.
I was born in 1973. Grew up in Moscow, Russia. Started running in 1984 and so far have never missed more than 3 consecutive days. Joined the LDS Church in 1992, and came to Provo, Utah in 1993 to attend BYU. Served an LDS mission from 1994-96 in Salt Lake City, Utah. Got married soon after I got back. My wife Sarah and I are parents of eleven children: Benjamin, Jenny, Julia, Joseph, Jacob, William, Stephen, Matthew, Mary, Bella. and Leigha. We home school our children.
I am a software engineer/computer programmer/hacker whatever you want to call it, and I am currently working for RedX. Aside from the Fast Running Blog, I have another project to create a device that is a good friend for a fast runner. I called it Fast Running Friend.

Ran with Eric and George in the morning. George had already run some, so we dropped him off early. Did a "bio break" acceleration at marathon pace. Then took Eric on his tempo run. He set a record for the Slate Canyon Loop (2.11) (14:28). Dropped him off, put on ankle weights, did 45s slow/15s fast for a mile in 6:57. Cheated and started the fast part early (with 100 to go) to be sub-7:00. Last 100 in 18 seconds.
Took off ankle weights, and ran a tempo Slate Canyon loop in 12:25. The pace felt abnormally good even on the uphill section until I hit some headwind. Afterwards, even after I turned and there was no noticable headwind, the pace stopped feeling abnormally good.
This led me to some thinking. I've had two races this year in which I underperformed relative to competition - Moab half-marathon, and the BYU Robison Invitational 5000 meters. Both had signficant headwind. Of course, you should expect to run slower with headwind, but I slowed down more than the peer group of consistent runners I am tracking. There is clearly a weakness. I do not have any reliable historical data of running into a headwind for myself, so I cannot tell at this point if this problem has been around for a while, or if it something new. My current working theory is that the weakness is in my ability to regain rhythm after a break when fatigue sets in - I have noticed it could take me as long as half a mile to get back to normal speed when I am fatigued after a 180 turn. Sometimes it happens when I am even not that fatigued. This could have something to do with my threshold being very close to my VO2 Max. One thing I know is that takes a lot of mental focus for me to run even a quarter at my threshold pace. I remember feeling very confused about how to run in both of those high wind races.
Later in the morning ran 2 miles with Benjamin and Jennifer. They both are going to race in the Harrington Memorial 5 K in American Fork on the Memorial Day (May 29). This will be Jennifer's first 5 K. Initially, I did not want her to run it, but she has my genes - a persistent red head. With Sarah being pregnant and Jennifer's "monster" speed, Jennifer's participation gave us a challenge to find her a pacer since I'll be tied up with Bejamin. Fortunately, George agreed.
Since Jennifer had never run more than 1.5 miles at once before, I was a little concerned about her ability to run a 5 K, and decided to give her a practice 2 mile run today. She did a lot better than I expected. Her assignment was to run the first mile in 10:00, and then try to accelerate on the second mile if she felt good. She ran the first one in 9:33, and the second in 8:49, with the last 400 in 2:00, and last 200 in 56. With the ankle weights, and pushing Julia in the stroller, I started feeling something during her kick myself.
Wore the ankle weights the whole day, and did always on the run. Total of 13.2 miles for the day.
Myshke privet from your secret sweetheart......
Good luck to both Benjamin and Jennifer. Are they running in the SLC Kids K?
I signed up for the SLC 1/2 marathon today. It has been put back into the LDR circuit.

11 "I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. 12 The hired hand, who is not the shepherd and does not own the sheep, sees the wolf coming and leaves the sheep and runs away—and the wolf snatches them and scatters them. 13 The hired hand runs away because a hired hand does not care for the sheep. 14 I am the good shepherd. I know my own and my own know me, 15 just as the Father knows me and I know the Father. And I lay down my life for the sheep. 16 I have other sheep that do not belong to this fold. I must bring them also, and they will listen to my voice. So there will be one flock, one shepherd. 17 For this reason the Father loves me, because I lay down my life in order to take it up again. 18 No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it up again. I have received this command from my Father."
Who were, or are, the "other sheep" outside the fold of the twelve, for whose sake also Jesus had come? By the time the Fourth Gospel was written (c. 95 CE) the early Christian movement had been forced into a clean break from the parent traditions of Judaism, so it may be this non-Jewish mission field that the author has in mind.
The mystical tone and content of this Gospel enabled his community to see in Jesus the revelation – or more accurately, the incarnation – of an eternal and universal reality. If Jesus was the name these early Christians gave to the timely event in history that opened out to include something that was also above or behind history, then might this same outreaching grace of God have been actively present elsewhere and at the same time, but in different circles, throughout the world?
If so, then because God is at work for the redemption of all people, this single divine initiative, refracting into the many rainbow colors as it breaks into the world of time – experienced as red here, green there, and violet somewhere else – can all be known by the name of Jesus.
This is not to say that "all religion" are equally true. But those that propagate a vision for the human future that centers on genuine community, and that inspire their devotees to lives of compassion and forgiveness, might meaningfully be regarded as sheep of other folds, who recognize and respond to the voice of the good shepherd.

Remembering Berlin Through Art
Some think its the bad part of town. In fact, Westminster conducted some marketing research and found many high schoolers were turned off by the photo of students in front of a graffiti-covered wall.
Rob Havers, the Executive Director of the Churchill Memorial, stated, "In 18 years, the significance of the Berlin Wall has for some people apparently receded which is interesting in its own right."
However, its significance to those in Fulton is still very much apparent. And having a piece of the Berlin Wall in front of the Churchill Memorial makes more sense than you might think.
Kurt Jefferson, who is one of Westminster's professors, explained, "Churchill in his speech here in 1946 talked about an Iron Curtain descending upon Europe."
The Berlin Wall is Churchill's iron curtain.
"It's not just a metaphor," Jefferson said. "But an actual iron curtain that was dividing the democratic west from the communist east."
Another link is Churchill's granddaughter, Edwina Sandys, who turned the ominous wall into art, and was instrumental in bringing it to her grandfather's memorial. Sandys cut out the silhouettes of a man and a woman to signify the passing through of Germans through the Berlin Wall. In an effort to not waste a single piece of the wall, the cutouts now stand at the FDR presidential library in New York.
"Edwina Sandys wanted to create a piece of art that reflected in some way the end of the Cold War," said Havers. "The Cold War that Churchill had so famously prophesized would begin on Westminster's campus in 1946."
Exactly one year after the Berlin Wall came down in Germany, Ronald Reagan dedicated eight sections of it in Fulton. Reagan spoke out and said,
"Ours is a more peaceful planet because of men like Churchill and Truman and countless others who shared their dream where no one wields a sword and no one drags a chain," Reagan said at the time. "This is their monument, in dedicating this magnificent sculpture may we dedicate ourselves to hastening the day when all God's children live in a world without walls."
Reagan was not the only world leader to speak on Westminster's campus. In 1992, Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev came to speak in front of the very wall President Reagan so famously implored him to "tear down".
Pat Kirby from Westminster remembered, "When Gorbachev came, they did the lecture out here and there was like 25 thousand people in the street and Gorbachev was up here on a platform. And it was an incredible background to his speech that day."
Another interesting link brings history full circle. The connection between Churchill, Gorbachev and Reagan links history that is important for students and visitors that come to Missouri as well.
Kirby explained, "Here you have maybe a student from Swaziland or from Ghana explaining to the wall to somebody from the United States that the wall came from Germany. It is just a wonderful symbol of the kind of global world that we live in today."
A global world that has many times converged on Westminster's campus.

Wednesday 4th April
I have been putting off writing this blog post as I do not want to relive this day but here it is. I woke up to pouring rain in Kirkbride and my host Ryan helped me get my trike out of my garage and we said goodbye. I met a lady called Helen along the road and we cycled together.
This part of the route was particularly flat, it followed the wetlands and marshes around the coast. It was quite exposed and there was very little shelter. Helen managed to endure the weather with me for 10 miles and then she turned around. It really was pouring but it wasn't cold, I just had to keep turning my legs and wiping the rain off my glasses. I passed through a few little villages, I took this photo of a statue next to a pub in one of them and then continued onto Carlisle.
I had a slow puncture again so I stopped at a bike shop in Carlisle to ask for some help and to dry off a little. It was when I stood up that I realised I hadn't done up the zip on my semi waterproof trousers so you can imagine where all of the water was! I stood in front of their heater and dried off a little. It was a problem with one of the repaired patches on the tyre and the bike shop put some more patches over it and sent me on my way.
I passed into Scotland and cycled through Gretna, the rain still as torrential as it has been from the start, I didn't feel like stopping even to take any photographs. Entering Scotland was a massive achievement but I just wanted to get to my destination as quickly as possible. I got to about the 30 mile mark at Annan and as much as I wanted to press on I was really hungry so found a small cafe to stop in. I changed my clothes and sat down next to the radiator. They were very kind and didn't mind that I was so wet and had so much water in my shoes that I created a puddle.
Back on the trike I was still managing to endure the weather, I cycled through more villages, past farms and past a museum called 'The Devils Porridge' which was a large munitions factory during the war. I spent most of my time avoiding pot holes and puddles in the road, about half of the vehicles realised that if they drove through a puddle it would soak me whilst the other half didn't care, they probably thought I was wet enough already. About 15 miles from my destination in Mabie Forest the wind suddenly changed, it was now a very cold headwind. I could no longer just endure the weather and turn my legs, I had to start pushing pretty hard to make headway. I was shivering as I cycled and no matter how hard my body worked I just couldn't warm up. I cut off a couple of miles on the corner and this landed me up on the Bypass – a dual carriageway. I stopped to contemplate what to do and I was shivering so much that I lost control of my bladder. I wasn't going to give you this detail but I think it's an important reminder that despite how strong my body is proving to be I am still struggling with problems caused by EDS. I pushed on with the dual carriageway for a couple of miles, it was downhill and it was quick. I entered the outskirts of Dumfries and saw a Premier Inn, perfect I thought I will stop here and find a room as there was no way my body could cope with the 10 more miles to the accommodation I had organised. £90 they wanted for a room and the receptionist laughed at and was discussing how dangerous my trike is with another guest. I left and sat on my bike and cried. I was so cold, so wet I didn't know what to do. I mustered the courage to go into the restaurant attached to the Premier Inn and they were so kind! They let me go into the toilets and change and dry off a little in front of the hand dryer. Then the manager helped me find somewhere close by to stay! She called round a few places before she found me a room above a pub in the centre. This was perfect, I had a drink and bite to eat and continued on. I was shivering again the minute I stepped outside but I reached the pub called Deja Vu. My room was perfect and I had access to the washer and dryer. I was exhausted but I managed to sort out and dry everything as well as chat to the locals for a little while in the pub. I didn't fancy going outside again so I made some rice, peas and ham for my dinner. With sun forecast for tomorrow at least I knew that there was no way it could be as bad! I would need to catch up on the extra mileage on top of an already difficult day though. Everyone I tell that I cycled today is shocked that I managed it in the weather conditions!

How to get started with Lean
The best, quickest and least expensive way to develop and create sustainable products for the satisfaction of your clients, employees and shareholders and which are respectful of the environment is the goal of LEAN.
To achieve this goal, using all company resources in the best possible manner is required while placing primary importance on the following:
- Motivation and Knowledge of your associates,
- Material Resources, such as machinery and facilities,
- Financial Resources
The proper use of these priorities consists in providing a generating system for progress state-of-mind and tools that will allow for a well-established implementation of this concept.
One area that applies this preferential way of thinking is the systematic research conducted for the Elimination of Waste.
The various Lean tools will allow you to implement this way of thinking, according to your needs, in order achieve this concept and make it a part of your company.
Do you want:
- To be more effective in your work activities? 5S
- To create a reliable and efficient facility? TPM
- To accomplish your goals while using a minimal amount of resources? HOSHIN
- To apply a push-pull system? KANBAN
- To change references as quick as possible? SMED
Before saying anything more about Lean Manufacturing, we should mention the Just-in-Time and Just Necessary approaches.
These three designations correspond more or less to the same concepts, principles and tools.
In any case, the desired goal is to enhance an entities ability to compete through its departments, workshops, factories, and specified teams while working on the efficiency of its current operations.
Another keynote: the instructions for this job will make it possible to optimize the definition of the practices concerning future operations, such as return experience and avoiding the possibility of making the same errors.
The first steps of the Lean process could be summarized as follows:
- Simple Concepts:
- Focusing on the Clients satisfaction
- A concept closely connected with a Human organization
- Small hierarchy
- Self-directed teams
- Significant effort for internal communication
- Practical Tools
Consistency in the development and practical application of simple tools is of primary importance and allows for a gradual development of the Lean concept regarding the reinforcement of a human organization that creates an atmosphere where all individuals and their efforts are recognized and where they can access the operational information required for acquiring greater expertise.
These three "lean priorities" have a retrospective effect on each other.

Call: 0333 555 7783
You can claim for any loss which arises as a direct consequence of the incident.
You must prove the loss and you must show the loss is reasonable. We can discuss your case with you and explain what a loss is and what you can claim for. We recognise that injuries will vary in severity and have provided a helpful guide in our Cycling Injuries Section.
You are entitled to claim loss of income - all you need to establish is that the period of absence from work was reasonable. However, you may not be able to get back to work or, if you do, you may find that, because of the injuries sustained, you can no longer do the job you did prior to your accident. It is important to claim future loss of income.
At Cycle Law Scotland, our team of highly experienced lawyers know best how to establish and prove loss of income. In more serious injury cases, we will work with vocational experts to consider the impact of an injury on your future earning capacity.
You can claim for the damage to your bicycle and any repair costs for getting your bicycle roadworthy. We will work with you and any preferred repairer to obtain details of the extent of the damage to your bike and a full breakdown of the repair costs.
If your bicycle is off the road, you may consider hiring a bike. Some companies specialise in hiring bikes and, after all, if the accident was caused through no fault of your own and your bicycle is off the road, you should be entitled to recover the cost of a hire bike.
If your helmet has been damaged, you are entitled to claim for the replacement cost of your helmet. You are also entitled to make a claim in respect of any damage to your cycle clothing and damage to other items - for example, laptops and mobile phones that you may have been carrying in a rucksack or an mp3 player and earphones that were damaged on impact.
You can claim for the personal injury you have suffered as a direct consequence of the accident.
Unfortunately, as a cyclist, you are exposed to the risk of serious injury and, if you have been injured it may take some time for the injuries to heal. The value of your claim for personal injury very much depends upon the type of injury sustained and the recovery you have made or are likely to make - we can arrange to have you medically examined by a specialist medical expert, who will be able to assess the extent of your injuries and the likely recovery period.
In serious injury cases you can also claim for care needs, future care needs and requirements, as well as alternative or specially adapted accommodation.
You can claim for any reasonable medical expenses, such as private physiotherapy.
It is important that you keep a list of all expenses and losses incurred following upon your accident.
Our priority is to obtain the maximum financial recovery in the shortest possible time. We will not compromise your claim by early settlement and, before we value your claim, will be guided by medical experts in respect of your award or likely recovery period. This process will be undertaken in consultation with you, providing you with a clear understanding of how lawyers assess the value of a claim for compensation.
Please leave empty:
Enter your details above to enquire or just give your name and number to request a call back from one of our specialist cycle accident lawyers.
Cycle Law Scotland provides cyclists with specialist legal representation for personal injury following a road traffic collision. We hope it never happens to you but, if it does, we are here to help.

The study, carried out in partnership with the British Heart Foundation and the National Institute for Health Research, adds to the significant evidence base that underscores the benefits and cost effectiveness of CR.
As highlighted in the NHS' Long Term Plan, CR should be seen as a priority and receive the appropriate investment, the authors of the study say.
The research, published in the European Journal of Preventive Cardiology, showed that CR can benefit somebody who has had a significant heart event regardless of socioeconomic inequalities such as profession, income and the neighbourhood in which they live.
However, the research showed that despite its cost effectiveness, CR uptake is consistently poor, with figures ranging from 10% to 60% globally.
Tailored support
Professor Patrick Doherty, from the Department of Health Sciences at the University of York, said: "These findings show that socioeconomic status needs to be taken into account when thinking about funding for CR.
"We know that these programmes are effective, but we also know that not enough people are accessing them. Whether it is the comfort of their own home or at a centre, we must now work to ensure that everybody who is eligible for CR takes the opportunity."
CR is a comprehensive intervention recommended by NICE for people after they have a significant heart event, such as a heart attack, heart surgery or heart failure. It is also available to some people who have angina. Programmes aim to help patients to understand their conditions and recover from their experience by providing tailored lifestyle support and advice – such as on diets, exercise and mental health – to enable effective management of their condition over the long term to improve heart and circulatory health.
Life saving
Programmes, delivered in centres or a patient's home, have been proven to reduce a person's chances of further complications after a heart or circulatory event. This research supports previous evidence that CR improves quality of life and further reduces mortality, morbidity, and unplanned hospital admissions.
Jacob West, Head of Healthcare Innovation at the British Heart Foundation, said: "Put simply, cardiac rehabilitation saves lives. But there is a worryingly low uptake.
"This evidence supports the need for investment and a new approach to how we reach out to encourage people to attend CR programmes, especially groups of people where uptake is low.
"While there are some services that are already beginning to think outside the box to make CR more attractive, we need to go the extra mile to think about how we can use new innovations to remove barriers.
"Making use of technologies, such as smart phones and online programmes, could help ensure that more people eligible for CR can access it. We should also consider where are the best places in local communities to offer services by working with leisure and community services."
This research is published in the European Journal of Preventive Cardiology.

Plant flowers
If the hamper base has no holes in them, turn them into planters! Smaller ones can be tasked with potting herbs while bigger ones can sit out in the garden waiting for the flowers planted in them to bloom.
Pet Bed
A wickered basket base can be the perfect cot for the growing feline or canine friends! Line the base with soft textiles and snap away as your furry ball of joy settle in their new makeshift bed for the night.
Crafty storage
Got a hamper base that is too colourful and gaudy to put on display? Have them in your children's playroom or crafts drawer as a storage crate or organizer for sewing, paint and drawing supplies! You can even use it as a quirky 'home' for your children's toys.
Organising drawers
For the deep drawers in your kitchen that is always choked full of unused items, use the hamper base to compartmentalise and restore order. The next time you need that stick blender, you won't have to dig through mountains of peelers, cutleries and whisks.
Cabinet formation
For the bigger wooden hamper bases, stack them up to turn them into a makeshift cabinet for a kids room or office space! Make sure to nail them together or industrial adhesive to make sure they don't shift around.

LAS VEGAS — The Latest on the NASCAR playoff opener at Las Vegas (all times local):
Brad Keselowski has won the second stage of the first NASCAR playoff race, setting the stage for a big finish in Las Vegas.
Keselowski arrived at Las Vegas Motor Speedway riding back-to-back victories from the final two regular-season races. He pulled away from Stage 1 winner Martin Truex Jr. during a late restart and then held off Kurt Busch in second place to grab the second stage victory.
Keselowski hopes to keep pace in the playoffs with the Big Three of Truex, Kyle Busch and Kevin Harvick. Harvick won't finish in Vegas after blowing a tire.
Kevin Harvick is out of the NASCAR playoff race in Las Vegas after blowing his right front tire during the second stage.
Harvick's blowout also took out pole-sitter Erik Jones, who couldn't react quickly enough and rear-ended Harvick with 120 laps to go at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.
Harvick and Kyle Busch were tied atop the overall standings heading into the 10-race playoff.
Harvick likely doesn't need a fantastic result from the first set of playoff races to advance, but the veteran driver was still furious about his tire failure.
"We had a great car, and then you put a set of tires on it and you can't hardly make it through the field," he said. "I'm not happy about anything right now."
The NASCAR Cup series playoffs have begun at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.
Erik Jones started on the pole and was passed on the opening lap by Joey Logano as the 16 playoff competitors began their 10-race chase to the big finale at Homestead. Kevin Harvick and Martin Truex Jr. also held a lead during the first stage, with Truex winning it.
Las Vegas has a second race this season for the first time. The temperature reached only 58 degrees Fahrenheit (14.44 Celsius) during the March race, but the drivers were sweating in 99-degree (37.22) heat from the start on Sunday.
The desert sun made the 1 1/2-mile track even slicker than usual, forcing drivers to exercise caution while looking for new grooves.
