Weitsman expands Port of Albany scrap metal processing operation
Tips on what should and should NOT be placed in recycling containers, according to Brevard Waste Management. Video by Tim Shortt, FLORIDA TODAY Florida Today
A scrap metal shredder capable of processing 80 tons of material an hour will be installed at the Ben Weitsman scrap metal facility at the Port of Albany.
Addition of the multi-million-dollar new processor will create 20 new positions at the company's Albany port site, company representatives said, and enable final shredded product to be sold and shipped direct from the Port of Albany by truck, barge, deep sea vessel and rail.
Headquartered in Owego, sister companies Upstate Shredding and Ben Weitsman & Son characterizes itself as the largest privately-held scrap metal dealer on the east coast.
"This will be the third shredder for the company and is perfectly positioned within our geographic footprint to complement our shredding operations in Owego, New York and New Castle, Pennsylvania," Adam Weitsman, CEO of Upstate Shredding – Weitsman Recycling, said in a prepared statement. "In 2019, our goal is to process one million tons of shredded scrap alone between the three shredders and given current scrap volumes at our feeder yards we feel this goal will be easily attainable."
Company representatives said operations in Binghamton, Jamestown and Owego were recently renovated and the Albany retail scrap yard and New Castle, Pennsylvania retail scrap yard and shredder were recently built as new operations from the ground up. Additionally, the Syracuse yard is currently undergoing a $5 million renovation and the company recently began operations at its brand new dry media plant in Owego.

The stereotype of the older Aussie getting up to go to the toilet and tossing and turning of a night-time may have some grounding in reality, but over 65s are happier with their night's shut-eye than younger Aussies, according to a new study.
On world sleep day, the Sleep Health Foundation has released findings from an Australia wide survey that showed 61 per cent of over 65s felt they got enough sleep compared with only 47 per cent of those under 65.
One-third of those over 65s surveyed woke up feeling unrefreshed compared with 48 per cent of those of working age.
Professor Robert Adams, a sleep specialist with the Sleep Health Foundation said: "We found that older people are not sleeping particularly well, but they have considerably less sleep-related fatigue and irritability than younger people.
"It's positive to see that despite some pretty significant disruption older people are, on the whole, less bothered by a bad night's sleep and wake feeling refreshed."
However, the crafty over 65s may have learnt to hide their fatigue, said Adams.
"It's also possible that older Australians have learnt to mask their sleep problem with caffeine, as results show 28 per cent have 4-5 caffeinated drinks a day. If that's the case that's nothing to celebrate."
On average, most people have between seven and nine hours sleep per night, and four in 10 report having at least one 30 minute nap a day and for over 80s that goes up to at least an hour nap a day.
As we age our body clock changes and the hormones that help us sleep are released earlier in the day, but at the same time, the hormone that helps us sleep at night – melatonin – is produced less as we age.
Studies also show that one in four of us have sleep apnoea or periodic limb movement and 4 in 10 of older Aussies experience a bout of insomnia that lasts for 3 months or more.
However, Adams said: "I think many people will be happy to know that, increasingly, tiredness and fatigue are not an inevitable consequence of getting older.
"In fact, your sleep can actually improve with age."Do you have an idea for a story?

Missouri veto session displays political divide
JEFFERSON CITY (AP) - Missouri is no stranger to divisive politics. During the Civil War, the state had two men claiming to be governor.
Yet at no time in Missouri history has there been a General Assembly and governor more at odds over which measures ought to be laws than right now.
During a veto session last week, Missouri's Republican-led Legislature overrode 57 vetoes of Democratic Gov. Jay Nixon affecting state spending, abortion, gun rights and other things. Not only did that set a single-year record, it nearly doubled the total amount of veto overrides that had succeeded since 1820.
Some political scientists say the overrides reflect the increasingly polarized nature of Missouri politics. They say Missouri's term limits have also created an atmosphere in which lawmakers must act quickly to accomplish their priorities.

As climate warms, plants will absorb less CO2, study finds
|The last time the atmosphere contained as much carbon dioxide as it does now, dinosaurs roamed what was then a verdant landscape. The earth's lushness was at least partly caused by the abundance of CO2 which plants use for photosynthesis. That has led to the idea that more CO2 in the atmosphere could create a literally greener planet.
Today, plants and soil around the world absorb roughly a quarter of the greenhouse gases that humans release into the atmosphere, helping the Earth avoid some of the worst effects of climate change. In an ideal situation, as levels of carbon dioxide increased, plants would soak up more of these emissions, helping to fuel their growth.
But in a study published Wednesday in the journal Nature, researchers found that under a warming climate, rather than absorbing more greenhouse gas emissions, plants and soil may start absorbing less, accelerating the rate of change.
"We have this image of the planet getting very, very green as we move into the future," said Pierre Gentine, a professor in the Department of Earth and Environmental Engineering at Columbia University and an author of the study. "But it may be the opposite."
It is well known among climate researchers that atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide increase during dry years, a sign that the earth is absorbing fewer emissions.
When the soil is dry, plants are stressed and can't absorb as much CO2 to perform photosynthesis. At the same time, because dry conditions are often accompanied by warm temperatures, microorganisms in the soil, which are more productive when it's warm, release more CO2.
As the climate changes, scientists know that there will be more years of extreme weather. That means extreme droughts, followed by years of heavier than normal rainfall, will become more likely. Dr. Gentine and his colleagues wondered if those conditions would balance out.
To check, they ran four different climate simulations and used satellite observations that essentially allowed them to observe photosynthesis from space. The goal was to see the impact that soil moisture had on Earth's ability to absorb greenhouse gas emissions.
Though plants and soil could absorb more CO2 during the wetter years, it did not make up for their reduced ability to absorb CO2 in the years when soil was dry.
"Basically, carbon uptake is not a zero-sum game," Dr. Gentine said. Even when a drought year is followed by a year as wet as the previous one was dry, it is not enough to compensate for the dry year, the researchers found.
Scientists are already beginning to see more of these sorts of climactic seesaws. As they occur, they will reinforce global warming, the new research suggests.
Caitlin E. Hicks Pries, an assistant professor of biological sciences at Dartmouth College who was not involved in the study, said in an email that the study was "a wake-up call to climate-change scientists like myself to prioritize responses to moisture in our experiments and observations of terrestrial ecosystems."

As solo, warm-weather sports played at country clubs, golf and tennis have long been linked together, albeit with a healthy amount of competition between enthusiasts of each sport. This week, one of the most iconic venues in tennis, Wimbledon's All England Tennis Club, took the competition a step further by finalizing plans to purchase the golf course next door to expand the tennis club.
Members of the Wimbledon Park Golf Club voted to sell its club and 18-hole golf course to the All England Tennis Club. According to the Mirror UK, the total sale will come out to £64 million. The vote to close the golf course was a tight one for local golfers. They needed 75% of membership to approve the sale. In the end, 82% of membership voted in favor of the measure.
So what, if anything, will these golfers receive for surrendering their playground to their famous neighbors? Each member will take a home a windfall of about £80,000.
With the purchase, the All England Tennis Club will add 73 acres of land, which will triple the size of its property, a move somewhat reminiscent of land grabs made by Augusta National Golf Club, though on a larger scale. In this way, the club can hold qualifying matches for Wimbledon, one of tennis's four grand slam events, on site. They are currently the only grand slam who does not do so already, according to ESPN.
Phil Brook, the chairman of the All England Tennis Club, told ESPN, ""In many ways, it will be business as usual for the Wimbledon Park Golf Course during the next couple of years, but the AELTC will use this time to give careful consideration to our next steps."
As Brook notes, the golfers don't have to store away their golf clubs just yet. The course will continue to operate until December 1, 2021.
Wimbledon, or "The Championships, Wimbledon" as it's officially known, take place every year in June and July. Golfers regularly attend the historic tournament. Even Tiger Woods made an appearance this year to give a clinic to kids.

Snowden: Lack of espionage charges in NSA arrest a 'noteworthy absence'
Edward Snowden, the former system analyst who exposed classified government surveillance programs three years ago, took to Twitter on Wednesday to question the charges facing a National Security Agency contractor suspected of stealing agency secrets.
After sharing a New York Times report that the FBI is investigating whether a government contractor stole secret "source code" designed to hack the computer systems of foreign governments, Snowden tweeted: "Am I correct in reading they didn't charge him under the Espionage Act? Under this administration, that's a noteworthy absence."
Snowden faces charges of theft and violating the Espionage Act after he stole documents about the NSA's surveillance activity and gave them to newspapers including the Guardian and Washington Post in 2013. He is currently residing in Russia on asylum, and his case has come up recently as some people have called on President Barack Obama to pardon him.
The Times report on Wednesday cited an anonymous official who suggested the ongoing investigation "at the moment ... did not look like an espionage case."
The contractor who was recently arrested, Harold Martin, reportedly worked for Booz Allen Hamilton, the same company that once employed Snowden -- who remarked on the parallels some are already drawing.
"Lazy: This guy and @Snowden both worked at @BoozAllen, so they are the same," Snowden wrote. "Not lazy: Booz must have a unique contract. Let's investigate."
Booz Allen fired Martin, the company said in a statement on Wednesday.
"When Booz Allen learned of the arrest of one of its employees by the FBI, we immediately reached out to the authorities to offer our total cooperation in their investigation, and we fired the employee," the contractor said in a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission. "We continue to cooperate fully with the government on its investigation into this serious matter. There have been no material changes to our client engagements as a result of this matter. Booz Allen is a 102-year-old company, and the alleged conduct does not reflect our core values."
Martin was charged with felony theft of government information and misdemeanor unauthorized retention of classified information, according to a Justice Department complaint published Wednesday.

'Wire' creator David Simon: 'Our systems are under siege'
TV writer on decline of journalism, rise of Trump and bringing the Pogues to the stage
David Simon on Donald Trump: "I've never seen a more astonishingly ill-equipped human being to lead a nation." Photograph: Matt McClain/Washington Post via Getty Images
Television creator David Simon is in Ireland this weekend for a public discussion with Richard Ford and Fintan O'Toole about US president Donald Trump. "I only found that there was going to be a political dynamic [to the talk] when I read it somewhere online," he says and laughs. "I am obviously willing to rant about politics. I've been doing it for a while."
Simon has always been a politicised writer. He's the show-runner behind several of the best American television series of recent years: The Wire, which explored every nook and cranny of a failing American city; Generation Kill, set during the invasion of Iraq; Treme, about the aftermath of the New Orleans flood; and Show Me a Hero, about a racially-tinged housing crisis in 1980s Yonkers.
His shows stray from the usual template of the golden age of drama, which focuses on larger-than-life Shakespearean antiheroes such as Tony Soprano or Walter White, in favour of depicting communities at the mercy of greater social forces. "It's a different strain in the dramatic tradition," he says, "the idea that universal forces are larger than individuals. There are a lot of people who don't want to watch narratives that are framed in that way because they get enough of that in real life. But other people find it cathartic. . . I'm more interested in systems and structure and process than most writers writing drama."
This might be because he was never drawn to screenwriting when he was younger. He wanted to be a journalist. "And not just a journalist, I wanted to be a 'newspaper man' which seems even more antiquated. My hometown paper was the Washington Post and at 13 or 14 I read the Bernstein and Woodward coverage of Watergate contemporaneously . . . I came up at that point when journalism's presumptions were that we were going to get better and more sophisticated and more complicated and were going to be able to speak about anything that mattered to the human condition. Newspapers were going to become like magazines and magazines were going to become like goddamn books."
What happened? A terrible confluence of chain ownership and dumbing down, he says. "I wanted to write about systems and process and the out-of-town editors who were already looking past the Baltimore Sun [where Simon worked] to higher in the newspaper chain; they wanted prizes and 'impact'."
What does he mean by impact? "Putting a pelt on the wall. If a complicated issue had two conflicting forces I would watch my newspaper abandon the coverage of one to highlight the other. They were writing towards simplicity and outrage in the hope of a simple villain and I think that became fundamental at many second-tier newspapers."
The fifth season of The Wire addressed many of his frustrations with media. "[The Wire] critiqued law enforcement, politics, public education as it's practised, and it was all well regarded by the average journalist until we turned the camera on them and said: 'What? You think you're doing your jobs?' "
He took a buy-out from the Baltimore Sun in 1995. His non-fiction book about policing, Homicide: A Year on the Killing Streets, had been adapted into a TV series for which he had written scripts and he began sublimating his journalistic instincts into drama. "The fracturing of the TV audience away from free networks and advertising, where you needed to have a 25 per cent share, left room to have a grown-up medium if you wanted."
Many of his projects focused on the type of post-industrial class and race issues that have come to the fore in the era of Trump. "A lot of people have asked me would Frank Sobotka [a union leader in The Wire] have voted for Trump," he says. "And I say, 'No, we wrote him smarter than that.' But would some of his membership? Yeah, some of them would.
I stood in a London pub last night & spend hundreds of pounds buying pints, apologizing for your venal ignorance. It was not at all enough. https://t.co/BlwkL5zcdL— David Simon (@AoDespair) June 6, 2017
"I don't think it's unfair to note that the Democratic Party took for granted and walked away from the trauma of the working class. . . They maintained the allegiance of the black and Latino working class because they didn't walk away from civil rights or an honest immigration policy, but the white working class had less and less reason to feel allegiance."
Simon often sounds more like a socialist activist than a television screenwriter. He laments "the triumph of capital over labour". He defends globalisation but adds: "It would be nice if someone had given an honest assessment of what was going to happen to the manufacturing classes once manufacturing disappeared."
Trump is not the solution to these problems, he says. "I've never seen a more astonishingly ill-equipped human being to lead a nation. I think our systems are under siege and I think our civil liberties are at considerable risk and I think basic facts are no longer the currency of our civic debate."
Are the cutbacks in journalism coming home to roost? "Certainly," he says, but later he adds: "Since the systems failure that was the election, you'd have to be blind not to credit the fact that some of our mainstream media have responded well. . . The same media that failed to stand apart from power before the Iraq war or to properly weigh the accusations being delivered during the election is doing a hell of a job now in some instances."
He also feels a certain amount of personal urgency. He has arranged pro-immigration fundraising events, donated money and been active on Twitter. "I don't want to look at my kids and say I wasn't full-throated at this moment."
He's not afraid of an argument, he says, though he notes that "some people just need to be told to get f***ed . . . I'm a lefty Jew and I'm pretty unrepentant about who I am . . . and it brings out a lot of ugly on the internet. There's a real subtext of racism and anti-Semitism in this country that didn't go away with Obama. In fact, in some ways it was hyperbolised because of Obama and now it has been given free rein because of the indifference of this president to his rhetoric."
Debating on Twitter helps him work out his own thinking, he says, but only when he's arguing with people who are "genuine and can avoid the usual traps of bad rhetoric". It's also good for his writing, "because if you write straw men then the drama gets weaker".
Sometimes his social media interventions are more light-hearted. Last year when John Banville suggested in this newspaper that writers couldn't be good fathers, Simon tweeted the immortal words: "Speak for yourself, f***nuts. Family is family. The job is the job."
He laughs. "Oh, that poor guy," he says. "Listen, I didn't mean to go after him. I don't even know Banville. But that whole thing – come on! I cannot get up on a cross because I'm a f***ing writer and pretend that I had to go to Calvary in order to put words on the page. What the f***? I cannot muster half the self-regard required to believe that the cost of being a writer is you treat people poorly."
He's continuously busy. With his wife, the novelist Laura Lippman, his long-time collaborator George Pelecanos and Druid Theatre's Garry Hynes, he's creating a musical built around the music of the Pogues. His work is filled with music, but when he was initially approached to write it by the late Pogues guitarist Philip Chevron, Simon tried to dissuade him. "[The Pogues are] somewhere beyond the realm of ordinary music."
Then, in August, his mini-series The Deuce will air on HBO. Set in Manhattan during the porn boom of the 1970s, it depicts "the almost instantaneous creation of a million- and later billion-dollar industry that has permeated American life. It's an industry predicated on misogyny and the product is flesh and it has been a transformative force in American culture whether we like it or not. We don't sell you a bottle of beer without wrapping it in some sex at this point."
Common thread
What's the common thread running through his work? "I would say that whether we do Generation Kill or housing bureaucrats or drug dealers or cops, our hearts are always with labour or middle management." He laughs. "We're always looking at where the money goes, where it comes from, who benefits, who doesn't benefit and what happens to the people in the machine."
What good does writing about these things do? "You're talking about 'impact'," he says. "One thing I had contempt for in journalism was, 'We'll write it this way and then we'll get a new law passed [or they'll] hang this guy's pelt on the wall', and in trying to do that they would often shave the story to make it a perfect little arrow of outrage . . . That's just dishonest . . . So even when I was a reporter I threw out the idea of 'impact'."
So what's the goal? "My goal is to tell the truth and not cheat, so that later on whether they fixed the problem or they didn't, they can't say they didn't know."
David Simon, Richard Ford and Fintan O'Toole discuss "Potus 45" at the Step House Hotel at 5pm on Saturday as part of the Borris Festival of Writing and Ideas

Can not wait for the next class!!!! Thank you sweet Deb!!!!!" - program participant
"I have never experienced the sense of peace and renewal as I experienced during my first ever energy bath. When the call started, I wasn't really sure what to expect and I was a little nervous about the whole thing. As Deborah began the audio webcast, I had a few thoughts spinning around me and I just wasn't sure how this whole ordeal could possibly work....with the catastrophic power outage 2 days before, canceling the first launch....what was this night going to bring? Also, we had a lot of people sitting on phones, staring at their computer screens (and screen saver if you're like me) and it just seemed strange that all of us would be able to connect together listening in on the audio broadcast. Then, Deborah gracefully stepped in and seemingly anticipated my anxieties as she began talking. It felt like she was in the room with me. I had my Indian Rose Absolute oil going in the air diffuser and a candle, and as we started the session for the energy bath, I could feel all the frenetic energy dissipate.
My eyes were closed as Deborah spoke, and I touched my forehead with my fingertips. Then, as she said to envision connecting upward, I shot straight into the night sky, and I was looking down at the earth. It was so clear with no clouds below me. At her suggestion, I reached out and connected to something unseen that became a blinding white light and then the light shot back down to the top of my head. Luckily, Deborah suggested that the light was slow and like gentle water right before the light touched me and that's exactly what the light became. The color I had felt was a hot orange color. I began breathing it out and breathed in a cool green color. Then, it shifted and I wanted to breathe out the green and replace it with deep purple.
Fast forwarding, when our angel or spirit guide was to step forward, a young boy stepped forward for me. He seemed to be about 10-12 years old with blonde hair. I thought an angel should look like a strong warrior for some reason, but I pushed that thought away because perhaps the spirit/angel thought this would be the best way to introduce himself to me. I smiled at him and I was so excited that he came forward. Then, I was following him and he led me to a grassy hill. As I looked around there was tall grass that was all around me with fields of lavender gently dancing with the wind I did not feel blowing. There were trees far off in the distance at a perimeter all around us. The boy looked back at me and started laughing, he ran, and I chased him. The hill changed underneath us like it was rolling waves in the ocean and then we started walking again. I was so happy and peaceful I did not want to come out of the meditation. I quick asked him his name before I left and I thought he said Charles. That name doesn't really seem like an angel name...I'm not sure if I heard him right. I can't wait to see him again.
The rest of the evening and the next morning, I felt a calm that I have never felt before. Thank you Deborah. That was magical.
Yours truly,

I do Crossfit because I love everything about it. I love that it keeps me fit, I love that it keeps me competitive, I love that it keeps me humble, I love that it is always changing, I love that I am constantly getting better, and I love the community and family that I have developed because of it.
2. What is the one mantra, quote, slogan, or piece of advice, that means the most to you?
Don't let success go to your head and don't let failure go to your heart.
3. What do you focus on thinking about in the minutes leading up to a WOD or event?
I always try to remember the plan that I have for it and to remember to stay calm and have fun. I think about how lucky I am to be able to CrossFit at all and do my best to remind myself to just focus on my own workout and not get caught up in everyone else around me.
4. What strategies do you use to mentally recover after a WOD that didn't go quite how you wanted it to?
This is the toughest part for me. I am so hard on myself that sometimes I really have a hard time getting myself away from negative thinking after missing a lift I thought I had, or taking way longer on a workout than I had planned. If there is another event of WOD after, I try to regain focus on that next event. I think about how I can make up for it with the next event and prove to myself that I am where I want to be.
5. Why do you think the mental aspect of this sport is so important?
The mental aspect of CrossFit is HUGE. Your body is capable of so much more than you can ever imagine and as soon as you start to doubt yourself or think about how heavy something is or how hard a workout is gonna be, it immediately makes it even heavier and makes the workout even worse. Whatever emotions I bring into my workout totally dictate how my workout goes. One of my weightlifting coaches once told me, " The bar is not heavy. The emotional weight that you bring to the bar is what makes it feel heavy." I have never approached a barbell the same after that.
6. If you had to use 5 words to describe yourself as an athlete, what would you use?
Passionate – Dedicated – Determined – Competitive – Resilient

In the economic war being fought between China and the US, the real world implications are being seen by the market. While the US tries to export inflation to China, we have the Chinese trying to export deflation to the US.
The truth is that China will loose this battle, and possibly the economic war.
"Surging inflation and sustained robust economic growth may prompt the central bank to raise interest rates five to six times next year," said Guo Caomin, a bond analyst at Industrial Bank Co. in Shanghai. "We are quite pessimistic about the bond market next year."
The rate that ships move at sea has slowed down to rates last seen during the darkest hours of late 2008. The baltic dry goods shipping index is also about to hit the seasonal lows of last summer, but this time there is no Xmas shopping season about to kick off to save day rates.
The global economy is slowing down everywhere, but in Chinese numbers. In time, they too shall change. For now, its implications of inflation in China. In the future, it will be higher interest rates, to attempt to slow down a run away economy.
You only have to read the latest headliness, where China says it will rush to Europe to buy Euro bonds, to support individual states. China's largest market is Europe, and its a basket case. Its second largest market is the US, and its not shopping now. The third largest is the local Asian markets, and they are relient on Chinese growth, for their own.
This is not going to end well. China can not feed its people, is relying on European broke buyers for its demand, and it needs the US to find a second import season for its exporters to stay in business. All of this, while China has to raise internal rates, and the official US vs Yuan exchange rate.
Its time to go long Popcorn, the world economy is about to experience serious shocks.

Exhibition of the week
Daumier (1808-1879): Visions of Paris
The French poet and art critic Charles Baudelaire famously wrote an essay called The Painter of Modern Life. Today this essay, or at least its title, is widely quoted. It is often associated with the insouciant urban eye of his friend Manet. In fact, Baudelaire was a Romantic and the artists he wrote most about were not the impressionists but their elders. Daumier, a caricaturist who mocked the king for looking like a pear and whose paintings grittily observe Paris, was one of his heroes. See why in this survey of a great painter of modern life.

I have now been at the airport for five hours.
Count 'em.
And three more to go.
This is not good.
So far I have:
1. Played 219 games of Nintendo and still not beat that big ghost dude in the castle on level 8.
2. Played 43 games of Sudoku.
3. Had my shoes shined. This is the first time in my life I have ever gotten a shoeshine.
4. Made friends with the shoeshine guy. He grew up in Georgia.
5. Made friends with a woman wearing pink stilletos who paid $2000 for a first class one way ticket to Dallas because she was desperate.
6. I'm not that desperate.
7. But getting close.....
I was supposed to be having dinner with Linda Sue Park and Gennifer Choldenko tonight.
That's not gonna happen.
What time is it?
Oh, good....only two hours and forty-five minutes to go...

Andy Cohen's Sweet Words for His Rescue Dog, Wacha: 'He's My Companion'
When Andy Cohen adopted his rescue dog, Wacha, in 2013, he quickly fell in love with the adorable beagle-foxhound mix.
Before long, Wacha became a celebrity in his own right. The photogenic pup has nearly 200,000 Instagram followers, and he's a popular recurring guest on Cohen's late-night talk show on Bravo, Watch What Happens Live.
Cohen says that having Wacha around has changed his life "in every way."
"I'm much more compassionate," he tells Parade.com. "It means a lot to take care of another being. And it's fun, too. It's just opened my life up. I like walking him in the morning! All my friends said, 'Oh, you're going to hate walking him.' But I love it—it's great! We have a great life together. He's my companion."
Chillin with Mr. C pic.twitter.com/LqJO9wo7RU
— Wacha Cohen (@TheRealWacha) November 16, 2015
It's a companionship made even sweeter by the fact that Wacha was rescued from a kill shelter in West Virginia. Since welcoming Wacha into his life, Cohen has been passionate about helping shelter pups and encouraging people to adopt rescue dogs.
That's one reason he's currently partnering with Purina ONE for their One Difference Campaign. As part of the initiative, dog owners around the U.S. can join Cohen in taking the Purina ONE 28 Day Challenge by switching to Purina ONE dog food for 28 days.
Every time someone signs up for the challenge, Purina ONE will donate $10 (on top of the company's initial $15,000 donation) to Mutt-i-grees, an educational program that places shelter dogs in classrooms to teach kids skills like empathy, responsibility and social awareness. And, in turn, the hope is that the kids and adults involved in the Mutt-i-grees program will be more likely to adopt a shelter dog down the line.
Cohen chatted with Parade.com about his love for rescue dogs, snuggling with Wacha and whether or not his beloved pup realizes he's famous.
Why do you think having rescue dogs in the classroom can help kids?
It's so cool to watch these kids interact with the rescue dogs and see what they can learn from the animals…I think that it teaches innumerable things, how to care for another creature. It teaches you what the animals are thinking or feeling. It teaches compassion. These animals need homes. And also [the dogs are] kind of dependent on the kids, so it gives the kids a sense of maturity and responsibility and independence.
You got to see a demonstration of the Mutt-i-grees program in a classroom. How did the kids like it?
They totally came alive. They were engaged. I mean, I imagine if I was in a classroom learning math or science or whatever and then people brought dogs in, I would be thrilled. And these kids were, too.
Why would you say it's important to adopt dogs at a rescue shelter instead of buying them at a pet store?
There's just millions of dogs that need homes and that are really good animals. And you could save a dog's life by rescuing it, so, you know, what's better than that?
Some people worry about shelter dogs having behavior problems. How would you respond to those concerns?
I found out that my dog was abused at some point in his life. And the truth is, it just means he needs love more, you know? So it makes my life richer with him to be able to give him a steady home where he's going to be really taken care of and protected.
And, of course, we see Wacha pretty regularly on Watch What Happens Live. What do you think he makes of it all? Does he know he's famous?
I don't think he does. I mean, he's got people coming up to him all day long. I think he's either indifferent or, you know, if people come up to him with a treat, then he's thrilled. Other than that, he really doesn't care. He gets recognized on the street all the time. Before people see me, they notice him.
What are some of your favorite everyday things to do with Wacha?
I love taking him to the beach, I love snuggling with him. My favorite thing to do is, I like him to fall asleep on my leg. I mean, what's better than that?
Been taking a nap on him for an hour pic.twitter.com/k7aAFxVHHT
— Wacha Cohen (@TheRealWacha) April 20, 2015
Why did you name him Wacha?
The night I got him, we were watching a Cardinals baseball game. I'm a big Cardinals fan. And the pitcher Mike Wacha was pitching, and the whole crowd was cheering, "Wacha! Wacha! Wacha!" And I just looked at him and said, "Oh my God, that's the perfect name for you!"
And do you think Wacha will ever have a dog brother or sister?
Maybe when he gets much older.

Guide To Fraser Island
To enjoy Fraser Island you'll need to pack your sense of adventure. It's a great place to visit and if you get out and explore you'll have a lot of fun.
Island Highlights
The biggest highlight is Lake McKenzie. It's probably on everyone's Fraser Island to-do list. The crystal clear water and the white sandy beach are just magical. There's so many great spots on Fraser Island like standing at the top of Indian Head. You'll feel like you're on the edge of the world. It's just amazing.
One thing people love about Fraser Island is that it's got everything all in one place. You've got freshwater lakes, freshwater creeks, sandy saltwater beaches, champagne pools, the rain forest, the desert. It's got everything. It's one of those places that you've got to put on your list because when you walk away you're be so glad you went there. It's nothing like anything else that you've ever seen.
Champagne Pools
Champagne Pools are right up in the northern part of the island. They are volcanic rock formations where the breaking saltwater comes over the top. It comes down and then it bubbles up to the surface in the water. It looks a lot like like champagne. The Champagne Pools are gorgeous.
How To Get There
There's a couple of ways you can get to Fraser Island. You can actually book a tour, and they'll get you there and drive you to the island, get a ferry across, and everything's pretty much sorted for you. Alternatively you can get your own way there and hire a vehicle, though tours are much better value and if you do a tag along tour you get the chance to drive and meet loads of like minded people.
How Long To Stay
You can visit Fraser Island for the day, but if you want to see the best highlights of Fraser a 2-3 day stay is a better plan. Most backpacker tours are about three days and we think they are worth it to get the most out of your stay on Fraser Island.
When To Visit
Fraser Island is a good all year destination. Guides will tell you their favourite time is the winter/spring period because it's not too hot. In summer, you've got the really hot sun, and the sand's hot. It's still great, you can always sit in the lake and relax and stay cool. The winter and spring are very pleasant and still swimmable. You can walk around, you can enjoy the place more comfortably. So if you have a flexible holiday plan aim for the winter/spring period.
Where To Stay
Traveling on the Cool Dingo tours you get to ride on big 4wd buses and stay at Kingfisher Bay Resort at the wilderness lodges where everything is done for you. You just have to sit back and enjoy. With the Tag Along Tours you get a chance to drive a 4wd on the tracks and camp on the eastern beach. You just need to help out with the food.
Out On The Water
Eli Creek is a great place to ride tyre tubes. You start at the top of the creek, and you let the natural water flow float you all the way back down. You can use paddle boards out on the lakes. You go right out in the middle of the lake, lie down and not hear anything at all. It's a magical experience.
Island Animal Life
Fraser Island has dingoes. In the Spring there are a lot of dingo puppies coming out as well. You'll also see echidnas and wallabies especially up north near Champagne Pools. You'll see snakes but mainly your nonvenomous ones, like pythons. At night you'll see the little sugar gliders at the wilderness lodges. You'll often see the big birds of prey out on the beach.
Where To Party
At Kingfisher Bay Resort, you've got a couple of bar options where you can go down there and get some good-priced drinks. We recommend the Dingo Bar. It's a great place to mingle and have a few drinks and even get on the dance floor if you want to.
What To Pack
Bring a lot of sunscreen, swimming things, towel, a camera, a towel, some flip-flops and comfortable shoes and a hat. It does get reasonably hot out on the beach. Pack some light fitting clothing. Sometimes at nighttime it might get a little bit cool, so maybe a jumper would be useful. But that's pretty much it. Light packing. You don't need a lot to get out there and enjoy Fraser Island.

Daily Spirit & Word: 670:
Large Crowds Follow Jesus.
Jesus is calling YOU to be ONE of His Followers Today.
Good morning my friends, what an roller-coaster of a week I've had: Ups and Downs, but praise the LORD, it's been going higher and higher, closer to Jesus after each little lull. My walk with Jesus is as if it's a roller-coaster in reverse, but I know I'll only reach the TOP when I get to Heaven and be with my Lord Jesus forever.
A funeral on Monday morning, an awesome meeting in the afternoon. A visit to the Dentist Tuesday and a meeting with the Mission's Committee in the morning, Prep then Discipleship Fellowship in the Evening. Funeral visit in the morning, then Training and Street Evangelism on Wednesday, School Governors Meeting on Thursday and an amazing meeting on Friday with Bill and Judy in Costa. Fitted some family things in and also some shopping with Julie for our Burn's Night Supper tomorrow. Yesterday we picked up the Grandchildren and it was to the park and hungry hippo cafe for a little drink afterwards. Last night Julie and I watched the film: War Horse (filmed on Dartmoor Devon at a location I know very well: Ditsworthy Warren farm). As well as meeting with Jesus every day and writing and studying God's Word, my weeks been quite full and exciting. But it's NOTHING in comparison with what Jesus experienced, that's what we're going to see today.
BTW: How's your week been? Think it through for a few moments, note the highs and lows, those special times and how you've been in your walk with Jesus.
Today, Sunday, we're back with the Gospel of Mark: This week you'll notice some surprising contrasts. At the end of last week's reading, Mark 3:1-6 we see the Jewish leaders and Religious elite plotting to kill Jesus, but this week we'll note that the ordinary folks loved Jesus. So much so, that they thronged him: i.e. thousands of them came from many different towns to get close and possibly even touch Jesus.
Mark 3:7-19 (NIV)
7 Jesus withdrew with his disciples to the lake, and a large crowd from Galilee followed.
8 When they heard all he was doing, many people came to him from Judea, Jerusalem, Idumea, and the regions across the Jordan and around Tyre and Sidon.
9 Because of the crowd he told his disciples to have a small boat ready for him, to keep the people from crowding him.
10 For he had healed many, so that those with diseases were pushing forward to touch him.
11 Whenever the evil spirits saw him, they fell down before him and cried out, "You are the Son of God."
12 But he gave them strict orders not to tell who he was.
13 Jesus went up on a mountainside and called to him those he wanted, and they came to him.
14 He appointed twelve—designating them apostles —that they might be with him and that he might send them out to preach 15 and to have authority to drive out demons.
16 These are the twelve he appointed: Simon (to whom he gave the name Peter);
17 James son of Zebedee and his brother John (to them he gave the name Boanerges, which means Sons of Thunder);
18 Andrew, Philip, Bartholomew, Matthew, Thomas, James son of Alphaeus, Thaddaeus, Simon the Zealot
19 and Judas Iscariot, who betrayed him.
What an amazing difference in attitudes.
- The Religious and Social Leaders: Rejected Him. Mark 3:6.
- The Crowds of Ordinary folks: thronged Him. Mark 3:7-10.
- The Demons: cried out in fear and recognised Him. Mark 3:11-12.
- The Disciples: Came to Him when He called them. Mark 3:13-19.
The CROWD:
I watched a Documentary a few weeks ago about Amy Winehouse: Her life was a Roller-Coaster too. So many highs; awesome voice, amazing records and songs, shows and awards. Adored by countless millions all over the world. Yet tragic; she couldn't cope with life and it spiralled out of control: Drugs and Drink.
However, everywhere she went crowds thronged her; photographers every inch of the way, chronicling her slow decline and ultimate demise. Crowds of adoring fans thronged her every waking moment in life. Even when on holiday on the beach, people wanted to be snapped with their favourite STAR.
Have you ever been part of an huge crowd?
Why was this Crowd following Jesus? Verse 10 gives us the answer "For he had healed many"... The Crowds were coming to Jesus because they were desperate for a healing, for a touch, some to see a miracles performed for others, a few interested in what He had to say. They'd heard about the HEALINGS: News spread quickly and thousands came from all the towns, hamlets and cities around Lake Galilee.
The BOAT:
Jesus, knew he'd likely be thronged so he had a boat prepared.
Music stars and Famous people have great big body-guards to keep the crowds from getting too close and crushing their Celebrity Star. They have a Limousine ready to jump into to get away.
Jesus had a boat made ready to make his escape (The ancient equivalent of a Limousine). We know from other Gospels that it was Peter's boat Jesus got into, and had to teach the crowds with a water barrier to stop them from pushing in too much and crushing Him to death in their desperation for a touch from the King.
Those crowds would have crushed Jesus if he hadn't gotten into that boat.
The DEMON POSSESSED:
Read with me Mark 3:11-12 The Demons.
11 Whenever the evil spirits saw him, they fell down before him and cried out, "You are the Son of God."
12 But he gave them strict orders not to tell who he was.
I'm not going to say too much on the subject of DEMONS here, I'll cover it in much grater detail in another section of Mark's Gospel. Mark talks more about the DEMONIC than any other Gospel writer.
However, note this: The Demonic Underworld KNEW who Jesus was. "You are the Son of God". But Jesus wasn't interested in them spreading the Great News TOO SOON. So He commanded them to shut-up, keep quiet.
Jesus knew something about PEOPLE: They came in great crowds for healings, think how they'd flock to Him if He declared openly, before He'd had a chance to correct their misunderstanding of the Messiah's reasons for coming? He would have had a full-scale WAR with the Romans and possibly thousands of people killed in a great war.
The Jews wanted the Messiah to come, they were waiting for deliverance from Roman oppression and conquest. If the Demon's had their way, Jesus whole Mission could be in jeapordy. He didn't want a war; He didn't want people to die, He came to bring God's Message of Good News and Die for EVERYONE; Jews first, then for everyone in the world who'd believe in Him. That was His mission: Declare Him Messiah too soon and it would be scuppered.
But: The Underworld, the Evil forces of Satan KNEW who Jesus was; "The Divine Son of God"… God on earth.
The DISCIPLES: Mark 3:13-19.
Jesus calls people out of all the people in Israel: He only appoints 12 to be His Apostles.
Think about that: Thousands were following Him. He only chose 12.
Surely He could have chosen many hundreds more, but He only chose 12… Why?
The Crowds were following Jesus for the wrong reasons. They were only following Jesus to get something for themselves: Healings, Miracles, Deliverance… They were not primarily interested in what Jesus had to say or teach them.
Jesus wanted people to KNOW God's way to live life.
Jesus wanted people to KNOW God's Mission and Call.
He chose the twelve: Simon (Peter), James, John, Andrew, Philip, Bartholomew, Matthew, Thomas, James, Thaddeus, Simon (Zealot) and Judas.
Only Twelve: Not from the Nobility. Not from the Social Elite in Society. Not from the Religious Leaders; but ordinary folks, fishermen, tax collectors… What an outstanding and surprising choice Jesus made for the twelve Apostles.
They were not particularly good or religious or noteworthy in society, but these were the ones that Jesus called to be His Apostles.
What is an APOSTLE?
Apostle means: An apostle, from Classical Greek ἀπόστολος (apóstolos), meaning "one who is sent away", is a messenger and ambassador. The purpose of such "sending away" is to convey messages, and thus "messenger" is a common alternative translation.
Explained in Mark 3:14-15 "He appointed twelve—designating them apostles —that they might be with him and that he might send them out to preach 15 and to have authority to drive out demons."
Apostles: Sent ones:
- Be with HIM: Learn from Jesus. Learn His Teachings / Commands / Instructions…
- Go for HIM: Go out and tell the Good News of the Gospel: Heal and Deliver.
- This Mission: The Apostolic Mission began after Jesus resurrection from the dead;
Mark 16:15-20 (NIV) The Great Commission.
15 He said to them, "Go into all the world and preach the good news to all creation.
16 Whoever believes and is baptised will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned.
17 And these signs will accompany those who believe: In my name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues; 18 they will pick up snakes with their hands; and when they drink deadly poison, it will not hurt them at all; they will place their hands on sick people, and they will get well."
19 After the Lord Jesus had spoken to them, he was taken up into heaven and he sat at the right hand of God.
20 Then the disciples went out and preached everywhere, and the Lord worked with them and confirmed his word by the signs that accompanied it.
The Apostles: Called by Jesus by Name: Taught by Jesus and sent out by Jesus. Given His Authority and sent out on a Mission.
My friends, why are you following Jesus?
- Are you part of the Crowd?
- Are you like the Religious Leaders: Rejecting Jesus?
- Are you like the Deomons, who knew who Jesus was, but enemies of Jesus?
- Are you being called to be a Disciple: A follower of Jesus?
If you are being called, then He's also given you a Mission too.
He's got something He wants you to do for Him in this world today.
The REAL Follower of Jesus: (in contrast to the CROWD).
Won't be in it for what He / She can get out of Jesus.
If all you want Jesus to do for you is save you from Hell, Judgement and to give you eternal life: You are NOT a true follower of Jesus today. You might be on the way to becoming one, but you are still just part of that CROWD who only wanted Jesus for what He could do for them.
You are a follower of Jesus, when there's been a dynamic transformation in your attitude towards HIM:
"What can I do for you Jesus?" "I want to serve you Lord Jesus with my life"…
When you get to that point, then you'll KNOW that you ARE a follower of Jesus Christ today.
The Disciples: The Apostles all died horrific deaths, John died a very old man in exile on the Isle of Patmos in Greece.
St Paul Said, "I no longer live, but Christ lives in me"… He was beaten, stoned, and finally killed for Jesus and the Gospel.
We "Die to the world and live for Jesus"
Jesus said, "Unless you take up your cross and follow me"
Jesus said, "If you love me, you will obey my commands"…
How and Why are you following Jesus today?
My friends, He's calling you, He's calling you by name, He wants you to be His Disciple, He's got a mission for you to complete.
Will you come to Him? Will you come and give your life to the Saviour, the Lord Jesus today? Will you follow Him, learn from Him and then begin / continue serve Him with your life?
Respond: Recognise that you too are just like the Disciples He first called: Unworthy, yet called to repent and trust in Him.
Turn: Turn in Repentance: turn away from living your life for yourself. Your sin, your attitudes that are wrong. He died so that you can be forgiven and given a new start in life.
Receive: Receive Jesus Christ as your LORD: Your Saviour.
Be filled: With God's Holy Spirit. Spiritual equipping for His service: Gifts of Holy Spirit
Be ready to serve Jesus with your life: Live the full life and go on the mission He's given you.
The Religious Elite Plotted, The Political Elite colluded, The Crowds wanted, The Demonic shouted, The Apostles were called by name and followed and were transformed, then sent on a Mission for Jesus: Who are you and why are you following Jesus today? Are you following Jesus?
I would say, "Don't just follow Jesus to be one of the crowd, to see what He can do for you, or to observe a miracle or just to get your miracle or life sorted out for you, don't just follow Jesus because He can give you forgiveness or a new life and eternal life and peace with God, but go deeper, be the Disciple He's calling you to be. Only then will you begin to KNOW the fullness of life that Jesus promises when He called you."
Up to now, you may have had a touch of His Holy Spirit, you might have been healed or seen healings, you might have received wonderful teaching, but NOW Jesus wants you to experience fullness of His life on Mission with Him. You just tell Jesus, "I'm ready to be one of Your Disciples Jesus, I want to go on Mission in this world for You" Be assured, He'll take you and He'll equip you for whatever He's got planned.
Who know what Jesus has planned for you? Only Jesus knows His plans for each and every individual, but just say, like so many countless thousands have done before you, and been used to transform the world: Cadbury, John Newton, John Wesley, John Calvin, Charles finney, D. L. Mooday, Billy Graham, Charles Spurgeon, Nicky Gumbel, J John, John Wimber, Fanny Crosby, Gladdys Ayelward (missions to China), Aimee McPherson (evangelist), J I Packer, John Stott, Rhinhard Bonnke, Ravi Zacharias, Daniel Cozens, David Watson,
From Our Church: Robert Rowe, Val Rowe, Prince, Chief George, David Bulbeck, David Wilson, Isaac, Elizabeth, Cherrie, Mary, John, Celestine, Sarah, Julie, Kofee, Wole, Stuart, Anthony, Theo, Candice, Sara, Maxine, Heron, ….
All I know is when Jesus Calls: It's going to be so AWESOME and mind blowing.
Go DEEPER with Jesus today!
[Jesus said,] "If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit". John 15:5
God's children do His will for His glory.
Jesus is the ONE: Who helps us accomplish everything for His glory.
The Religious Leaders and Social Elite: Rejected Him.
The Ordinary Folks: Thought they had Him.
The Demons: Feared Him.
The Disciples: Were called by HIM: Then they were with Him, Commissioned by Him, Sent out on Mission and Accompanied by HIM. What an awesome privilege to be one of those called by Jesus: He's calling you too.
- You?
You might be one who's thinking: I would love to follow Jesus; but I don't know enough yet. (Come on St Luke's Alpha Course).
You might be one who's thinking: I've been coming for a while, but now I'd really like to go on Mission for Jesus. (Then come and talk and discover how you can serve Jesus with your gifting).
You might be one who's NOT willing or ready to respond to Jesus call today. (Keep coming, read God's Word, ask Him to show you and speak to you through it, learn all you can about Jesus: He's the ONE who's calling you and can transform your life).
He's calling YOU to be ONE of HIS right now!

Man dies after altercation with border officers at Calgary International Airport Back to video
EMS said they responded to a call regarding an adult male in medical distress just after 3 p.m. on Tuesday. When EMS crews arrived, they found the man in critical, life-threatening condition.
The man, who EMS estimates was in his late 40s, was transported to Peter Lougheed Centre where he was later pronounced dead.
Police aren't releasing details about the man's identity until after the autopsy, which was scheduled for Wednesday afternoon.
Police said they are in charge of the investigation, as "it's standard protocol for the investigation of what would be considered a sudden death."
CBSA didn't confirm the reason the man was being deported when contacted Wednesday.

The Moderns: An Anthology of New Writing in America
The Moderns: An Anthology of New Writing in America
The "purpose" of this anthology, and from such statement ought also to be presented its design, was not merely to get together stories and pieces I happen to like, cookbook style, but to present those writers who have impressed me, over the range of say 10 years or so, as having something to say in a prose medium that was in adjunct to the artful writing of the marketplace. It was not merely in terms of a "generation" of writers, there being as much as twenty years separation between some of these writers' ages, but more towards, I think, a quality of writing that has come to clarify itself more and more at each publication as the most interesting and exciting writing that has taken place in this country since the war.
The vital and in some cases very much publicized activity that has returned American poetry to a great measure of emotional and intellectual hegemony among the world's poetries, after about thirty years of its representation as a patently unreadable graduate student verse, has certainly helped bring my selections more directly in focus. There is a definite connection between the so-called poetic renaissance and the literary environment that delineates the writers included in this volume from the thousands of other "prose writers" who live in this country. The prose and the writers in this volume are very different from the prose and the writers that would show up say in an anthology gotten together by Herbert Gold, or James Baldwin or Norman Mailer (and I mention these names in specific relief only because anyone familiar with contemporary American fiction on any but the most parochial level will know the "personalities" that inhabit the most popular literary establishment of our time). One of the reasons for such an open statement of difference is that I am most responsive to writing that shows a care for deeper involvement beyond the specific instance of its virtues as "literature."
I was interested in this volume in placing together prose that had some future, as literary and social phenomenon . . . and not neces-

According to Bannon et al (2011) Millennials were born between 1980 and 1992, also known as Generation Y, this generation is more technologically savvy, more ethnically diverse and better educated than previous generations reaching almost 80 million they represent 15 percent of the U.S. labour force currently entering the lower management ranks. Furthermore, at the moment this generation are the only that have experienced a post digital and globalizing world. Millennials expect that the brands don't only made good things related to the environment or good corporative practices they appreciated that brands produce quality goods. In this aspect, Millennials are a more demanding generation regarding to its health, an example of this is the increasing demand of healthy products among population of this generation, according to Cheng, A. (2017) millennials are changing the makeup of the beverage and food space what before the companies considered as premium has become something standard for their requirements, value features such as locally sourced, environmentally sustainable meat or GMO free are among the examples. The reason for this is that 8 out of 10 millennials claim to feel more health conscious making those features and benefits more attractive.
Generation X are the people who born between 1965 and 1979 that could be represented for about 50 million of individuals, with a $1 trillion spending power (Schiffman and Wisenblit, 2015, 330) this generation is recognized for its unlike for labels, also not as its previous generation the Baby Boomers, Generation X are not in rush to get married, start a family or work in excess to earn high salaries for this generation have a good job satisfaction is usually more important than salary furthermore they are not notably interested in long-term employment for a single company, they understand the value of money but do not see salary as an overwhelming reason to stay with a company they instead prefer to work with a company that could bring them life-work flexibility, the quality of the work and relationships built on the job are more important. Also, it is suggested that most of the generation X persons are nowadays in the peak of their careers with high spending power (Bedgood, L. 2016). It is also suggested that Generation X consumers are a frequent users of loyalty programs which generates a more frequent purchase of the product or service according to Bedgood sixty-five percent of generation X buyer, who got loyalty card from the store, bought items at least once a month.
One similar aspect among Generation X and Millennials is the fact that Millennials often go to internet to gather information before seeing a doctor this could be related to the rising cost of the health care and even more increasing number of help resources available (Wanstrath, K. 2015) such as Doctor on demand which is an app that allows people have live video chats with doctors facilizing assessment, diagnosis and prescription when necessary (Doctor on demand, U/D). Another significate aspect is that Millennials trust in doctors but at the same time they avoid them because of high cost of treatments, high times of waiting and shortage of care (Lerman, K. 2015) these factors have affected their consumer behaviour decreasing the visits to hospitals and increasing the demand of different care options such as emergency rooms or home remedies, also 53 percent of millennials consider family or friend advise as a trusted source of information what concerns to medical advice, in fact millennials are 28 percent more likely to self-diagnose and 36 percent treat at home before going to a doctor than older generations, following is a bar chart representing the behaviour of millennials in the past year:
As could be analysed in the graphic the previous generations as Generation X or Baby Boomers are among the generations that are still attending to the doctor's office for a treatment or prescription, one similar aspect among generation X and Millennials is the fact that both generations look after information previous attend or acquire a healthy product.
The usage of new technologies such as apps or portable health tracking devices are almost double in proportion for Millennials that for Generation X, this could be caused because Millennials grown up with the convenience of online services that means get what they need at the moment moving on and go back when they need again (Advisory board, 2016), this type of behaviour is known in the tri component attitude model as cognitive component (Schiffman and Wisenblit, 2015) because Millennials search for information and carefully evaluate all the data, evaluating product information by brands, attributes and advantages that can be more beneficial for them (Solomon et al, 2013). In this aspect the behaviour of generation X is expressed in two components affective and conative component also the attitude formation could be observational learning and instrumental conditioning because according to Smith and Jones (U/D) among the factors that they have into account to choose a hospital could be found hospital reputation with 28 percent, this could indicates that generation X associate observation process to their selection process because as it is stated observation learning occurs as a function of seeing and embracing the information perceive through the search conditioning their decision.
Also the same article suggest that 23 percent based their decision on prior experiences which indicates an instrumental conditioning behaviour, because its decision is based on trial and error process (Sheth et al, 1999) ergo generation X are highly motivated to search for purchase information and they are adept to searching, they tend to use the information to assurance that the marketers are not taking advantage and to guarantee the best deal possible, in this aspect generation X are more independent minded that Millennials who rely more in the opinion of others specially their parents (Siddiqua, M. 2016)
Health is also related with a different variety of products and services not only doctors, treatments or drugs, being healthy starts from inside if you eat healthy food and do regular exercise your body and mind will notice it.
In this aspect, the consumer behaviour of millennials and generation X is totally different, it has been reported by Young (2016) that millennials are more concern that any other generation in healthy eating thanks to media exposure such as bloggers and as stated before healthy apps, also it is stated that the definition of "healthy eating" is different in every generation, for instance for millennials it means high protein and high vitamins versus other generations with more traditional definitions such as low fat, in the following bar chart it is explained the difference between generations and their care to have a healthy life:
Finally, the tricomponent attitude model is a model that demonstrate very limited information about the strength of an attitude also the conduct of generation X and millennials have similar behaviour in some aspects such as both generations present a positive respond to media advertising such as online advertising, television or messages to some extend millennials are more affected by the advertising but both generations are affected
among the differences presented is the fact that millennials are more eager to use wearable devices to track their health and the use of health related apps, further more generation x present a consumer learning more focus on observational and instrumental facet while millennials present more significant cognitive component, another difference is the fact that millennials are more concern about their food in order to prevent future health problems its very common to see in most of the products GMO free or every day more detailed nutritional information or allergies millennials do not diet they just eat well whilst generation X are not that worried about this type of information.
Millennials and Generation X are careful before acquire a service or attend to a doctor consulting first on internet, family or close friends.

A body, believed to be that of one of two missing people who were aboard a recently capsized boat, was discovered inside the vessel, the Coast Guard said.
The 9.77-ton Mujeok, carrying 14 people, capsized after running into a 3,000-ton freighter in waters about 80 kilometers south of Yokji Island last Friday. It left three people killed. Two others had been missing, one whom still has not been recovered.
The victim was identified as an 58-year-old with the surname Im. No life vest was found with the body.
The island is administratively located in Tongyeong, South Gyeongsang Province.
The Coast Guard towed away the vessel to Yeosu Port on the south coast and found the body inside it.

The simplest ideas are often the most complex. For example: a basic go book in multiple languages to spread the game around the world. That's the idea behind the Multilingual Go Book Project. "The project came to be due to the difficulties of promoting go in my home country, Greece," says H. Kapolos. "We didn't have educational material in our language and there were young people and adults who wanted to learn the game, but could not read English."
When Kapolos participated in the European Go Championship, he noticed "that some countries around our division and our region didn't have too many young players in them either," and it occurred to him that "maybe they need a book in their language as well. Something that could circulate in libraries, schools, universities and game shops. Places where young people with a passion for board games might be found." So, he thought, "why should we stop at only English and Greek? We should make the book in more languages and have it be free for everyone."
So far, the project has two books of 192 pages of content — more than 700 diagrams each — in English and Greek, both completely free. Kapolos is now looking for collaborators to translate it into other languages, "especially in Spanish and Portuguese, whose translations have already begun."
