New partnerships launched at Too Small to Fail's fourth annual 'Learning in Everyday Spaces' Summit with the LaundryCares Foundation
Education & Health Equity | 10 Minute Read
For Immediate Release: October 20, 2021
President Bill Clinton, Chelsea Clinton, and leaders in education, business, and local communities highlight importance of neighborhood spaces on early childhood education and equity
NEW YORK, NY — At the fourth annual Learning in Everyday Spaces Summit, hosted by the Clinton Foundation's early childhood initiative Too Small to Fail and the LaundryCares Foundation, partners launched new commitments to promote early learning and create literacy-rich environments for children and their families.
"Research tells us that the first five years of life are critical for young children's early brain and language development. And that the best way to build young people's brains is for parents and caregivers to spend time engaging regularly by talking, reading, and singing with them every day," said President Clinton. "We know the environments in which children are growing up matter a great deal. And far too many children are growing up in environments that are not designed and built in ways that help them thrive. That's why I'm so proud of the work that Too Small to Fail has been doing to create more equitable access to fun, learning-rich environments."
"The last year and a half presented new and intensified challenges, especially when it comes to caring for our children, and I just have been consistently inspired by the relentless passion, compassion, and commitment of so many of the organizations and people who are here with us today," added Chelsea Clinton, vice chair, Clinton Foundation. "At the Clinton Foundation, all our work is predicated on the simple belief that everyone deserves a chance to succeed, and when we all work better, we'll all do better."
About the Learning in Everyday Spaces Summit
More than 2,000 participants from across the United States and around the world joined sessions focused on the impact and importance of neighborhood spaces — including laundromats, playgrounds, grocery stores, public housing, family courts, and more — as learning-rich environments that promote children's early brain and language development, as well as neighborhood equity.
President Bill Clinton served as keynote speaker, and Chelsea Clinton announced two new projects to support parents and communities in creating learning-rich environments:
Kiwanis International is committing to partnering with Too Small to Fail and the LaundryCares Foundation to mobilize Kiwanis clubs across the country to distribute books and create learning-rich environments in everyday community spaces.
Penguin Young Readers is committing to donate 50,000 books to families served by Too Small to Fail and their partners, the National Diaper Bank Network, and the National Council for Juvenile and Family Court Judges. Half of these books will be distributed to families visiting their local diaper bank, and the other half will be shared with families at family court appointments. Through the years, Penguin Young Readers has donated 250,000 new children's books to Too Small to Fail and their partners.
Featured speakers included Gregg Behr, executive director, Grable Foundation; Barbara Bouza, president, business management, design & development, Walt Disney Imagineering; Miriam Calderon, deputy assistant secretary, Early Learning, U.S. Department of Education; Senator William H. Frist, M.D., former U.S. Senate Majority Leader; Jacqueline Jones, president & CEO, Foundation for Child Development; Michele Mason, president, American Society of Association Executives; Cheryl Oldham, vice president, Education Policy, U.S. Chamber of Commerce; Ralph Smith, managing director, Campaign for Grade-Level Reading; Bo Stjerne Thomsen, Chair of Learning through Play, LEGO Foundation; and more, including parents and caregivers who shared about their experiences, particularly throughout the pandemic, and their hopes and wishes for their communities.
"I'm grateful that our Summit continues to grow in its scope and reach to all who put lifting up their communities at the forefront. We continue to better understand the incredible opportunity we have to connect early childhood development and literacy resources directly to families and children who visit the neighborhood laundromat each week," added Brian Wallace, CEO of Coin Laundry Association. "The collaborations initiated during this Summit will not only enhance our ability to better serve laundromat customers but also give other valuable everyday spaces insight into how they can join our movement.
The conference also addressed the impact of COVID-19 on early learning, and highlighted research from Brandeis University's that ranks neighborhoods by level of child opportunity from very low to very high in the 100 largest U.S. metropolitan areas, where two-thirds of children live. The research shows that neighborhood conditions that promote children's health and development vary widely across the United; children who live only short distances apart often experience completely different opportunities in their neighborhoods that can influence how they develop.
In addition, Chelsea Clinton presented this year's LaundryCares Achievement Awards to recognize outstanding service and exemplary best practices for laundromat owners, early literacy providers, and partnerships. This year's award recipients:
Exceptional Service to Community Award: Mike Gregory, Peak Laundry, Denver Colorado;
Exceptional Partnership Award: Paul Hansen and Michelle Dinneen-White, with Play Smart Literacy, in Chicago, Illinois; and
Exceptional Early Literacy Programming Award: Denver Public Library.
About Too Small to Fail's partnership with the LaundryCares Foundation
The partnership between Too Small to Fail and the LaundryCares Foundation began as part of a 2015 Clinton Global Initiative America Commitment to Action. What started as a pledge to reach 5,000 laundromats with posters and early learning materials has grown into a movement to transform laundromats into literacy-rich environments. The partnership includes: establishing "Family Read, Play & Learn" spaces in laundromats nationwide, distributing educational resources, and hosting Free Laundry & Literacy Day events where families can engage in early learning activities, as well as receive information and resources from local community-based organizations.
At the inaugural LaundryCares Literacy Summit in 2018, the LaundryCares Foundation and Too Small to Fail first developed "Family Read, Play & Learn" spaces to create literacy-rich early learning opportunities for talking, reading, singing, writing, and playing among young children and families inside laundromats. These spaces include a sofa, bookshelf filled with high-quality children's books, puppets, crayons, in-store signage for parents, an alphabet rug, blocks, magnetic letters, and family tip sheets. Evaluation findings from a pilot study found that children engaged in 30 times more literacy-rich activities in laundromats with "Family Read, Play & Learn Spaces" than those without these spaces. Placing "Family Read, Play & Learn" spaces in laundromats also had an overwhelmingly positive effect on children's literacy-related activity during their visit. Researchers observed 1,378 instances of literacy-related activities in laundromats with these spaces compared to seven instances in laundromats without these spaces.
To date, 116 laundromat owners have installed the "Family Read, Play & Learn" spaces in their laundromats, and the work continues to grow. The partnership has been covered by national and local news organizations across the country – including PBS Newshour (link is external), Romper (link is external), Chicago Tribune (link is external), New Orleans Times-Picayune (link is external), Huffington Post (link is external), Spectrum News NY1 (link is external), and many more.

About Too Small to Fail
Too Small to Fail, the early childhood initiative of the Clinton Foundation, promotes early brain and language development by supporting parents and caregivers with tools to talk, read, and sing with their young children from birth. Today, almost 60 percent of children in the United States start kindergarten unprepared, lagging behind their peers in critical language and reading skills. Through partnerships with pediatricians, hospitals, faith-based leaders, community-based organizations, businesses, entertainment industry leaders, and others, Too Small to Fail is meeting parents where they are to help them prepare their children for success in school and beyond. Whether at the pediatrician's office or the playground, Too Small to Fail aims to make small moments big by creating opportunities for meaningful interactions anytime, anywhere.

Christopher has received numerous awards and widespread praise for his work from both colleagues and national media.
"Christopher Cook's career has been marked by the persistence and courage of his reporting as well as by the singularly humane empathy which informs his work. From his memorable reports on labor abuses to his current investigation into the corporate control of our diets, Cook is one of those rare writers whose personal commitment matches the caliber of his journalism."
"Cook is a first-rate journalist. He is one of the best, most thorough, and most consistent reporters I have seen in my nearly seven years at The Progressive... [He] repeatedly takes on important stories and gives them their due, with attentive, high-quality, intelligent journalism."
"I have worked with hundreds of journalists, and Chris is quite simply one of the very best... He has a keen sense of how economics and politics interact to shape the world we live in."
"Diet stands in the classic American tradition of muckraking journalism ...packed with information that consumers need and policy makers should be acting on."
"Christopher Cook lays out a far-reaching takedown of the American food industry, from factory farms to supermarkets to federal regulators."
"explains with distaste exactly how, via free trade, a few megacompanies dominate the food industry from the seed to the supermarkets… Cook's horrifying exposé deserves to be as influential as Lappé's bestseller [Diet for a Small Planet]."
"Diet for a Dead Planet provides the big picture, along with fascinating details, to motivate change before it's too late. Armed with Cook's compelling exposé, we don't have to be victims. We can choose life."
"In this well-researched and hard-hitting book, [Cook] lifts the veil and reveals what you can do to bring food and agriculture back from the brink. This book is a forceful reminder that food should be -- and can be -- a way of life, not a way of death, for communities, our bodies, and the planet."

Although much of the agenda spelled out in President Barack Obama's State of the Union address Tuesday evening drew thumbs down from Republicans in Congress, it was something he did not spell out in any detail but fully plans to pursue that drew the harshest reviews from lawmakers on the GOP side of the aisle: namely, a near-doubling of the capital gains tax from the present 15 percent to 28 percent.
Both senior and junior Republican House Members were quick to pounce on this. The across-the-board condemnation of the capital gains tax hike is likely to mean that thwarting it will be the first line of attack by House Republicans in fighting his agenda for the final two years of his presidency.
"I'm certainly not in favor of raising the capital gains tax," 13-term veteran Rep. Jimmy Duncan, R-Tenn., told Newsmax. "It will hurt the economy and hurt job creation.
"President Obama is very good at saying things that almost everyone says, such as easing the tax burden on the middle class. But there was a whole lot more easing of taxes on middle-class Americans under Republicans than Democrats."
The Tennessean recalled how "the last major tax reform bill was passed in 1986, when Ronald Reagan was president and my father [the late Tennessee Rep. John Duncan] was ranking Republican on the House Ways and Means Committee."
Duncan also voiced alarm at the president's use of the term such as "fairness" and his call for everyone to play "by a fair share of rules."
"It sounds like a call to redistribute wealth like a traditional socialist," he said.
Duncan's sharp criticism of an increase in the capital gains tax was seconded by four-term Rep. Tom McClintock, R.-Cal.
"Twenty years ago, Bill Clinton reached across the aisle and this gave us the biggest capital gains tax cut in history," he told us, "and this helped lead to four budget surpluses in a row. Now, by calling for raising the capital gains tax from 15 percent to 28 percent, President Obama is squandering his last opportunity to salvage something out of his presidency."
McClintock recalled how Clinton's work with Republicans in control of Congress led to "four budget surpluses, the cutting of federal spending to 4 per cent of the Gross Domestic Product, and the start of attacking entitlement spending. All of this he was able to do by, in Benjamin Franklin's words, 'doubting a little bit of his own infallibility.' [Obama] clearly doesn't believe that."
The same anti-tax fervor as Duncan and McClintock was voiced by more junior GOP lawmakers.
Freshman Rep. Dave Trott (R.-Mich.), for example, said Obama's agenda "is based on more spending, more government, and more job-killing tax increases."
Another freshman Republican, Alex Mooney of West Virginia, charged that the president "attempted to re-ignite class warfare by proposing new tax hikes."
Rep. Raul Labrador, R.-Idaho, who just won his third term last year, charged that the President "now proposes tax-and-spend policies he couldn't get passed in his first two years in office when Democrats controlled both houses of Congress.
"For all his eloquence, he can't sell his failed left-wing policies to the American people."


Every fall for the last two years, our elementary school has hosted a Harvest Festival. It takes place after school in the gym, and families are encouraged to bring a salad, soup, or bread to share with the community.
Of course, this sort of potluck event can be a food allergy family's nightmare. We attended for the last few years, but mostly brought our own food and supplemented with applesauce and raw veggies. Mainly, we just went for the fun.
This year though, the opportunity to improve the event fell into my lap. Several months ago, a mom I've known since our kids were toddlers together informed me that the school's Health and Wellness Committee lacked a Food Allergy voice. I began attending meetings, but didn't really know how I would fit things. Soon though, I discovered that the Harvest Festival is run by the Health and Wellness committee.
A bell went off in my head, and I realized this was my opportunity to improve things. I pointed out that the Harvest Festival was the sort of potluck event that many food allergy families don't even bother attending, because the logistics, exclusion, and even danger was too much to deal with. I declared that I would sponsor an allergy friendly table this year, and everybody was instantly on board, ready for me to guide it.
Of utmost importance to me was making sure that all fliers and marketing for the event included the information that allergy-friendly foods would be available–I wanted those same food allergy families to know that it would be worth their while to come. I also sent this email to our school nurse, asking her to please forward it to all known food allergy families enrolled in the school. I can't say for sure that she did, since she seemed concerned that such an invitation would imply liability, but I sent it to her anyway.
I also worked extensively on the sign-up document to give people the opportunity to bring allergy-friendly fare of their own. I also set up a list of food prep rules to help minimize the risk of cross contamination from other people's kitchens.
Sadly, I didn't get any volunteers from parents to contribute to my allergy friendly table, although I don't think the sign up sheet got distributed as well as it should have been. Something to improve for next year. However, Zax's class made a top 8 free soup for my table, and one of the fifth grade teachers brought her top 8 free soup over to the table that evening once she realized it was there. Another improvement I will make next year is to write a letter to all the teachers inviting them provide allergy safe foods, because I will probably get better engagement from them than from the community at large.
Also, in order to round out the allergy-friendly offerings, I reached out to some local (and not-so-local) allergy-friendly food brands for donations, and I received several favorable replies! We had foods from Enjoy Life, Canyon Gluten-Free Bakehouse, Good Karma, and Deby's Gluten Free!
For my own contribution, I brought a Top 8 Free Quinoa Salad (a variation on this recipe, using mostly fresh veggies from my garden and eliminating the chicken) after double-washing all of my dishes to help eliminate cross contact risks. I also purchased some Earth Balance soy-free spread for the breads. One more food ended up on our table at the last minute, an apple crumble that was both nut and gluten free (but did have dairy), provided by a mom who helped her son's kindergarten class make it. That class had both nut allergies and gluten sensitivities among its students, so making an allergy-friendly food was natural for them.
I also took the opportunity to decorate the table with teal pumpkins and our Teal Pumpkin Candy Buckets, to help spread awareness for teal pumpkins and Halloween!
For the rest of the food, I wanted to at least make sure allergen content was known, in case people with allergies decided to risk them. I included all major allergens on these signs, along with the option for "none of the above" so we wouldn't be left wondering if a blank card meant "no allergens" or simply hadn't been filled out. I also included "I don't remember" on the signs. It's not an ideal answer, but it is an honest one and I didn't want anyone to leave off allergens because they weren't paying attention.
Compliance on these tags wasn't great. Many dishes provided by the classes were already in place by the time we arrived to set up, so we were unable to track down who made most of those. (This is another reason why I will send out letters to teachers prior to the event next year.) We tried to catch families as they arrived with food–I gave my kids the job of handing the cards out, along with pencils, because Zax loves bossing people around–but plenty still slipped past them, even with hubby as a backup.
The line for the rest of the food. It was quite a feast!
And then there was general ignorance of food allergies, so many dishes were probably mislabeled. I caught one woman who came in describing her soup as butternut squash made with almond milk, but when she filled out her card she put "none of the above." I reminded her that almonds were a tree nut so she changed her card, but instead of circling "tree nuts" she just wrote "almond milk" on the side. Hubby coached another person in filling out her card–she brought chocolate-covered cake pops and needed to be informed that chocolate generally contains both milk and soy by default. Then she worked her way through and came up with the rest of the allergens on her own.
These incidents could be problematic (or more specifically, the ones we weren't able to catch) but at least the people we caught are more informed now. Also, most people with food allergies are pretty careful about what they eat–and knowing our table was there, hopefully they didn't take chances.
I put the Allergy Friendly table at the end of the food line. I didn't want to exclude people without food allergies from enjoying our offerings, but at the same time, I didn't want to put it at the beginning and have everybody else eat our safe foods, leaving nothing for the food-allergic folks who arrived later in the evening. By being at the end, most of the people without allergies already had full plates and bowls by the time they reached us, so it was a natural way to keep them from unnecessarily using up all of our safe foods.
Packing up leftovers for the use of district food services.
We did have a fair bit of food left at the end, but that just meant more leftovers! I also donated the leftover breads and unopened flax milk to the school/district Food Services department, and I know they'll put it all to good use! Our district's Food Services is getting to be pretty allergy aware!
Most people passed by with little or no comment on our "Allergy Friendly" sign, but I did have a handful of people stop to talk about food allergies and thank us for having the safe foods grouped together. One girl came by with her mom–she had a tree nut allergy–and her eyes lit up when I told her that there were no nuts anywhere on the table. A boy came by, read the label on the Plentils, and walked off happy knowing that he could eat them. A man came by with a preschool-aged little girl (probably the sibling of a student) and was happy to see all the dairy-free options, since the little girl was dairy-allergic. He was thrilled to have the Good Karma Flax Milk for her to drink!
Those responses made the whole thing worthwhile! And for myself and my kids, it was great knowing that we could feast freely on the foods from the table, without having to grill anyone on how they made it, read each label in excruciating detail, or worry that we were dealing with incomplete information. I stuffed myself that night!
This sort of allergy awareness is seldom going to occur on its own–it takes a community driven movement, usually spearheaded by one motivated individual. If you're wondering how you can get involved with your school, see what parent committees already exist, and where your goals may fit into them. Our Health and Wellness Committee already wanted to shift the focus away from sugar-laden birthday parties before I came around, so this was the perfect fit for me!
It didn't really take me all that long to coordinate this, and the payoff was definitely worth it. The rest of the Health and Wellness Committee thinks I should make sure that all Health and Wellness events have allergy-friendly options this year, which is an assignment that I will gladly embrace. We can change this world, one community at a time.
This is a fun event because kids together with their families are able to bond with the other kids and their families too. It's part of their social training as well. But yes, it would be better to just bring your own food especially if there's a food allergy issue in your family in order to avoid complications and allergy problems.


The purpose of this checklist is to save you time and money. Any work beyond setting the base timing on the distributor and tuning the computer will be extra. The car must be in perfect running order to have a proper tune done. A preexisting mechanical or electrical problem cannot be fixed with a tune. It must not leak oil, misfire, or have any other mechanical/electrical issues.
First and foremost you need a way to tune your vehicle. Some of the stock computer reflash programs: Uprev(nissan), Nistune, Hondata, Cobb, SCT (Ford, GM, Dodge) HP Tuners (GM, Ford, Dodge), Tuner CATS (obd1 GM), ECM Link, Tunerpro RT, Chipped Ecu etc. Other Wise you will need a full standalone computer like Megasquirt, Aem, Holley EFI, Proefi, Fueltech,Haltech, Motec, Apexi, etc. Piggy backs computers like Mapecu, Emanage, Aem FIC can also control fuel and spark by intercepting the signal to the stock computer but aren't as stable as a reflash/full ems. Apexi Safc will also control fuel but Can NOT control timing.
1.) It is always good to have a Wideband Oxygen sensor in your car. Some newer cars have factory wbo2. If you don't have a wideband please have a bung with 2 feet of pipe after it for my wideband sensor. I also have a tail pipe attachment if you have a full exhaust that has a straight exit pipe/muffler.
3.) The engine must not burn oil or coolant. If there is smoke coming out of the tail pipe that is a strong indication of a weak motor. White smoke is coolant, blue smoke is oil, and black smoke is fuel. Check that the engine has good compression, meaning that the compression should vary less than 15% between all cylinders. I can help you do compression and/or leak down tests before your dyno appointment or street tuning session.
4.) There can be no major fluid leaks of any type, specifically brake, power steering, coolant, or fuel.
5.) Your radiator must sized to be able to support your set up and keep it cool. Make sure that it has adequate antifreeze fluid and has no air pockets. A strong puller style fan is recommend. The higher the cfm rating the better.
6.) There should be no vacuum leaks. Check all vacuum lines to make sure they are secure. Use zip ties or clamps to hold them on. If a vacuum line blows off the wastegate or fpr during a high boost pass you're gonna have a bad day! Listen for whistling or sucking noises. Bouncing idle is also an indicator for a vacuum leak.
7.) Check you oil level and do not over or under fill the engine with oil. Over filling the oil pan will cause turbo oil seal failure. In addition, I recommend checking with your turbo manufacturer for oil feed line sizing. The oil return should be -10AN with no kinks or loops. Note that oil returns are gravity fed and if the oil backs up its going to come out the seals.
8.) To avoid boost leaks, make sure that your intercooler clamps are tight and that the couplers don't have cracks or tears. I recommend T bolt style clamps and silicone hump couplers on bead rolled pipes. You don't want a blow off during a dyno session.
9.) It is essential that your brakes work well. This is for obvious safety reasons during street tuning and beyond. Often stock brakes glaze over after only a couple passes, which can cause complete loss of braking ability.
10.) Bring at least 1 extra set of spark plugs. I can pick up a set if you give me advanced notice. I recommend NGK spark plugs and OEM spark plug wires for Hondas. When going over 10 psi, you will want to upgrade to an ignition amplifier box such as MSD or M&W with an external coil and matching cap. I recommended gapping spark plugs from .30 to .18 for most turbo cars. SRT 4's are the exception to this, they like .35 on high boost.
11.) Your fuel pump and injectors must be capable of the power you want to achieve. Walbro 255lph fuel pumps are good for about 500whp. Bosch 044 pump is good for about 700hp. A1000 fuel pump is good for about 900hp. Stock Honda – 6 AN fuel lines are go up to 500hp. Upgrade to -8AN for 500 to 700 hp. I recommend Injector Dynamics / Bosch ev14 style injectors. I recommend getting injectors large than you need so that you have room to grow later on. Feel free to call us. We design and install high horsepower fuel systems.
12.) The clutch should not slip and should be rated for the torque/power you want.
13.) Make sure that the drive train is up to the task. There shouldn't be any weird sounds, i.e. no bad cv joints, wheel bearings, transmissions, differentials, etc.
14.) Inflate your tires to spec and assure that they are in good condition. A blow out on the dyno or when I am street tuning can be very dangerous.
15.) All nuts and bolts should be tightened, in particular, the exhaust manifold bolts. If there is an exhaust leak you will create more lag and you will lose power on a turbo system.
16.) If you want your turbo car to do over 300whp it is essential that you have at least a 3" downpipe and exhaust. I do not recommend cats for turbo cars.
17.) You can only triple the wastegate boost with normal electronic boost controller and usually less with a manual boost controller. Pick a wastegate spring pressure that is at the lowest level of boost that you will regularly run, and nothing lower than that. The stronger the spring the less lag you will have with the boost controller. Also note that in our altitude you must subtract 2 psi from the advertised rating (i.e. a spring rated at 7psi will do 5psi on the gauge). This is assuming that your turbo can flow air at that level and the manifold doesn't induce boost creep. There are now boost electronic controllers that use co2 to hit even higher boost levels. AMS and Turbo Smart being a couple.
18.) On turbo Honda cars remove the PCV valves that run to the intake manifold. Instead run the hoses from the PCV block port and the valve cover port to a catch can breather system, such as the Endyne kit. This is to avoid crank case pressure. Your rings will love you for it.
19.) E85 - A pump fuel that is 85%ethonal/15%gasoline - 105 octane, 10% oxygenated, and cheaper than 91 octane. The down side is you use about 30% more of it so mpg goes down. If your tuning system allows dual maps or a flexfuel sensor you can get a tune for both 91oct and e85 fuels. If that is not an option you must use the fuel you are tuned for as switching will cause a overly rich or lean condition.
1.) Check your wiring for any shorts, loose connections, and/or exposed wires.Make sure to protect wires from high heat and harsh environments. Having good, clean grounds are very important.
2.) Your car needs to have a properly functioning alternator and battery. Voltage should be between 13~14.5 with the car running. The exception is if you are running a race 16v system. Inconsistent voltage effects injector response and ignition coil charging effecting driveability.
3.) If you have a check engine light it needs to be sorted out before tuning. Major sensors: Maf or Map, Iat, Tps, Clt, Primary O2, Knock, Crank & Cam Sensor are all critical to tuning and a well running car. If you have a code we can tell you what it means and what steps need to be taken.
1.) You must present current car insurance and registration for me to do a street tune on your vehicle.
2.) SQC Tuning will not be held liable for any damages to you or your car as a result from any tuning, mechanical or electrical work, or use of products sold by me. By choosing to modify your car you are voiding warranties and causing your car to have a shorter life span. By deciding to modify your car, to include any work that I perform, you take complete responsibility for anything that may go wrong. Increasing the power of your car directly increases the wear and tear of all its components. If you don't like the sound of that, then keep it stock.

This is a short ride through Charles Bronson State Forest where I stopped to make a little video of the windmill out there.
The windmill was made sometime before 1964, when the Aeromotor company moved from Chicago to Broken Arrow, OK. Since then there have been several hurricanes and tropical storms that have either passed through the area, or passed close enough where this old guy saw some pretty strong winds. Yet here it is, still running and pumping water like it did more than half a century ago.
I started the trip at the parking area for Chuluota Wilderness Area, which is only about a quarter of a mile from the entrance to the state forest. The entrance was easy with my bike, there is a simple swinging gate so I didn't need to lift my bike over the fence.
The ride out here is pretty easy; the roads are mostly hard packed or grassy, but I don't think a hybrid bike would do very well because there are some spots with sugar sand. My mountain bike handled these spots with no problems, but thinner tires would definitely not ride as well.
I was surprised that I didn't see any cattle on this trip, and also that much of the farming equipment that I saw on my last trip was also gone. I don't know if the forest service has stopped allowing cattle to graze here, or if the ranchers have simply brought the herds somewhere else. I'll probably know more in another week or two; I'm planning to come out again soon to visit some of the shell middens.


Many people strictly use calories as their guide to weight loss, however not all calories are created equal. This is especially true when it comes to carbohydrates specifically, as eating two different types can have vastly different effects on our weight.
On top of that we have to worry about carbohydrates and sugars being added to our foods in the form of sweeteners, which are major contributors to weight gain. The one of the major keys to weight loss success is choosing the right carbohydrates over the wrong ones, limiting the ones which cause us to gain weight.
Which Carbohydrates Should I Avoid?
Bagels are a favorite breakfast food, as they are easy to prepare and provide us with plenty of energy. The problem with bagels is that they severely lack as far as nutritionist concern outside of their high calorie content.
This means that while bagels can be a great source of energy, these feelings come and go very quickly. Bagels lack of significant amount of fiber, which means that although sugars which we are consuming are highly much immediately dumped into our bloodstream.
This results in a quick list of energy however one which inevitably leads with a crash. Consider that with the fact that many bagels are at least 300 calories minimally, regularly choosing to eat this food is an easy way to gain weight.
Smoothies can be extremely healthy and relatively cheap meals if you prepare them on your own, however many of us opt to buy them at some type of restaurant. While these drinks probably do have some type of fruit in them, almost all them have a good amount of sweetener added to them, while lacking fiber.
This combination has a similar effect on our blood sugar levels as do bagels, except this can be even worse. Since the sugars in its movies tend to be simple sugars as opposed to the longer chain carbohydrates which are found and bagels, the bloodstream is immediately overwhelmed with excess sugar.
If you have to have a smoothie when you're out shopping at your health food store or at a restaurant, your best bet is to choose options which are more vegetable based than fruit based. This will help reduce your consumption of sugars, and help you better maintain your weight.
It doesn't matter if the muffin, bagel, danish or whatever bake good you're eating is reduced fat or reduced calories. If this is the case there adding something in place of those fats and sugars to add to the flavor, which inevitably means the addition of some type of sweetener or process fat.
These types of foods are generally ones you want to avoid because like the bagel, they are loaded with carbohydrates while severely lacking in other nutrients. Next time someone at the office is offering a free doughnut or free muffin, try to think back to this article and make an alternative choice.
Any type of yogurt that's pre-packaged with a separate container for fruit, granola, or any other toppings is another type of food you generally want to avoid. Companies know that yogurt can be an effective weight loss tool, and use this to their advantage.
They market products that contain some type of additive along with the yogurt to enhance the flavor, whether it be fruit with added sugar, granola with added fat, or other unhealthy topping.
Instead of buying the pre-packaged fruit and yogurt, you're better off buying the yogurt separately. Buying them together in one product usually ends up in the meal costing about three times as many calories as it should be, and definitely can contribute to weight gain.
Pretty much everyone knows by now that white bread isn't a healthy food, which gave rise to alternative types of products such as wraps. Many people believe that using a wrap further sandwich as opposed to using white bread is a healthier alternative when in fact this is not necessarily the case.
The next time you're out shopping, pick up a package of wraps and take a look at the nutrition label. More often than not these wraps containing over 30 g of carbohydrates in just one wrap, which amounts to 120 calories by itself. On top of that many of these wraps don't contain a good amount of fiber either, which makes them a barely better choice than white bread if so at all.
White rice is a food staple in many different cultures, however it is a food that we definitely want to avoid as far as weight loss is concerned. While white rice isn't too nutritionally different than brown rice, the one major difference between the two lies in their fiber content.
When we eat foods like brown rice which are both high in carbohydrates and fiber, this slows down the digestive process and more evenly provides the body with a supply of energy. Conversely in the case of white rice, there is little to no fiber which means that all of these carbohydrates are very quickly absorbed by the body. This leads to the body taking this access energy and storing it as fat, which of course greatly contributes to weight gain.
People really seem to be won over by products which claimed to be fat free, which they tend to choose over those snacks which contain fat. This can be extremely misleading because these products usually contain a significant amount of sugar in place of these fats, in order to preserve flavor.
These types of snacks pretty much only contain sugars with no other nutritional value, making them a food that just isn't necessary in our diet. Eating a piece of fruit instead can satisfy your sugar cravings while being a much healthier option.


If you are looking for the best in-ground swimming pool builder in the state of Michigan you have come to the right place. www.bhpomi.com is Michigan resident's number one choice when it comes to creating a beautiful backyard paradise. I am here to help build the best in-ground swimming pool project for you and your family. You as my customer are the single most important person when it comes to planning and building your dream swimming pool project. I want to take the time to help you choose the perfect swimming pool just for you.
There are three main types of in-ground swimming pools.
The first type of swimming pool I am going to talk about is Fiberglass.
The biggest benefit of owning an inground fiberglass swimming pool is the time it takes to maintain the pool shell and the cost associated with the maintenance. Fiberglass swimming pools have all the custom steps, benches, and ledges built in so you don't have the costly add-on like you do with vinyl and concrete/gunite. Over the first 15 year's of owning an in-ground fiberglass swimming pool, you will save between $15,000 and $25,000 compared to owning an in-ground vinyl liner or an in-ground concrete swimming pool. Fiberglass is the perfect pool for customers who like low maintenance and low cost. The biggest down fall of owning a fiberglass swimming pool is there are only a limited amount of shapes and sizes each manufacture has around 50 or so shells to choose from, these sizes will range from as small as a 10′ wide by 20′ long (Small), to a 16′ wide by 40′ long (Large). The cost associated for a basic fiberglass installation will includes: planning and permits (some townships require engineered drawing for an additional cost), scheduling, excavation work, back fill materials, hauling out the spoils, setting and leveling the fiberglass shell, Water tanker to fill the pool, installing the pump, filter, lights, chlorine feeder, equipment pad, and plumbing from the swimming pool to the equipment pad, electrical hook up 90'of run, scheduling inspections, rough grade, and 3'concrete surround. Fiberglass swimming pools with this basic install package will range in cost from $35,000.00 to $55,000.00 depending on the size of the fiberglass shell and the topography of your yard.
The next in-ground swimming pool we are going to talk about is an in-ground vinyl liner swimming pool.
The biggest advantage of building an inground vinyl liner swimming pool is the initial cost of the vinyl kit. An inground vinyl liner kit will cost $5,000.00 to $10,000.00 less than a fiberglass shell depending on size. This is where you will save big money in the beginning. The next huge advantage is that you have endless design capability! If you can dream it we can build it. Most common sizes for an in-ground vinyl liner swimming pool are 14'x28′, 16'x32′, 18'x36′ and 20'x40′ but are not limited to these sizes. The biggest downfall to vinyl liner swimming pools is that you will have to replace the liner every 10 years give or take a few years depending on how well you keep up on the pool chemistry. The cost associated for a basic vinyl liner installation will includes: planning and permits (some townships require engineered drawing for an additional cost), scheduling, excavation work, installing steel or polymer walls, Concrete footing around the base of the pool walls, concrete custom floor, back fill materials, hauling out the spoils, ordering and installing vinyl liner, Water tanker to fill the pool, installing the pump, filter, lights, chlorine feeder, equipment pad, and plumbing from the swimming pool to the equipment pad, electrical hook up 90'of run, scheduling inspections, rough grade, and 3'concrete surround. Vinyl liner swimming pools with this basic install package will range in cost from $30,000.00 to $45,000.00 depending on the size, design, and depth of the swimming pool. The topography of your yard will always play a factor.
The last type of in-ground swimming pool we are going to talk about is an in-ground Gunite/Concrete swimming pool.
I tell my customer gunite swimming pools are the custom pool projects that have endless design and feature capability. Concrete/Gunite swimming pools are your best option if you want a bar inside your swimming pool. Concrete swimming pools will give you the WOW factor with all the different options you can add to make it unique. The biggest downfall of owning an inground gunite/concrete swimming pool is the maintenance, Heating, and resurfacing cost which can be substantial. There are no typical sizes for a concrete/gunite swimming pool because they are all custom built to spec. The cost associated for a basic concrete/gunite swimming pool installation will include: planning and permits (some townships require engineered drawing for an additional cost), scheduling, excavation work, back fill materials, hauling out the spoils, installing #3 rebar 1'x1′ squares and reinforced steps and corners, Gunite installed to spec. 8″ walls 12″ floor and coping, custom tile, Water tanker to fill the pool, installing the pump, filter, lights, chlorine feeder, equipment pad, and plumbing from the swimming pool to the equipment pad, electrical hook up 90'of run, scheduling inspections, rough grade, and 3'concrete surround. Gunite/concrete swimming pools with this basic installation package will range in cost from $45,000.00 to $65,000.00 depending on the size depth and options added to the gunite shell. The topography of your yard and soil conditions. Call 248-525-9503 for your estimate.

Neville: It's too early for Manchester United to appoint Solskjaer
by Ben Guest 12/02/2019, 18:46
Gary Neville has said that Manchester United should not rush into appointing Ole Gunnar Solskjaer as their next permanent manager.
Solskjaer took over a beleaguered Manchester United side back in December after Jose Mourinho had steered the club to their worst ever start to a Premier League season. However, the Norwegian has embarked on a remarkable turnaround, winning 10 of the 11 games he has taken charge of, propelling United into the top four.
While Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino was the initial favourite to replace Mourinho at Manchester United, Solskjaer's impressive start in the Old Trafford hot seat has now seen him become the first choice with a number of bookmakers.
However, United legend Gary Neville thinks that his former club should bide their time until the end of the season before making their appointment, although has warned that not appointing Solskjaer would be a risk.
"I think it's too early to give him the job now," Neville told Sky Sports. "I think coming out of March is the right time to appraise it, then look at April with six weeks to go, make a decision considered over a three or four-month period, how the club are feeling, how the players are feeling, and what the results are.
"That's not because they have seven or eight tough games, I just think it's sensible to reflect over a three or four-month period, but Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is putting himself in with a major shout of getting the job.
"If Manchester United continue in this way until the end of the season and get into the top four then the risk with not giving Solskjaer the job would be huge.
"If you get to October and they have spent £30m or £40m to get a new coaching set-up into the club and they are fifth, all hell will break loose. People will say: why did you not give Ole the job when he was doing it well?
"I still think you don't need to announce it today because as soon as you do it's 'who are you going to sign and who are you going to get rid of'. At the moment it's still a very good atmosphere, but once the job comes then the questions would start to change.
"He almost had a bit of a free hit when he first came in, but he hasn't just increased happiness, he has brought about top performances."

When we talk about martyrs today, we normally visualize a fanatic Muslim with a bomb strapped to his chest. But martyrdom also has a long-running tradition in Western thought, both Christian and secular. Ever since Socrates chose death before exile, Western thought have asked itself if there are values and principles transcending life itself - that is, values that are worth dying for. Philosophers and theologians, poets and statesmen have given us different answers to that question, ranging from God, truth and fatherland to justice and freedom.
A Noble Death examines the history of martyrdom in Western experience and discourse. We meet Socrates and Jesus before their prosecutors, the early Christians before their tormentors and modern martyrs of patriotism, racism and communism. Through characters like Jeanne d'Arc, Robespierre and Che Guevara the essay recounts the story of how the martyr's blood is turned into a political spectacle and a symbol for comradeship and truth. Michael Azar reads martyrdom as one of many manifestations of a more general politics of Death, where the dead are instrumentalized for the purposes of the living. In martyrdom, the utmost vulnerability of man turns into his foremost weapon. Death becomes the path to immortality.

Brady to speak at college amid NFL deflated footballs report
Associated Press— May 9, 2015
By HOWARD ULMAN
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) _ Tom Brady makes his first public appearance Thursday night since a 243-page report found some of his claims were "implausible" concerning under-inflated balls in the AFC championship game.
Brady is scheduled to be interviewed by sportscaster Jim Gray during a previously scheduled event at Salem State University.
The report by NFL-appointed investigator Ted Wells issued Wednesday concluded that two New England Patriots employees violated rules covering game balls and that Brady was "at least generally aware" of plans to doctor the footballs to his liking.
Brady's agent, Don Yee, says the NFL was determined to blame Brady for deflated footballs in the 45-7 win over Indianapolis in the AFC title game, and the investigation omitted key facts and buried others.
The Patriots canceled prior plans to make two players available to reporters during voluntary team workouts held at the team's headquarters, then said nobody with the team would be available on Thursday. The team didn't respond to requests from The Associated Press seeking comment from Brady and Patriots coach Bill Belichick, who was exonerated in the report.
Wells concluded there was no plausible explanation for the deflated footballs besides deliberate tampering. Text messages to and about Brady led to the conclusions that he was aware, if not more actively involved, in the scheme.
The NFL is now using Wells' findings as it considers potential punishment. Brady, the MVP of the 2015 Super Bowl, could be fined or face a suspension. The Patriots are scheduled to play their opener against the Steelers in the kickoff game of the NFL regular season on Sept. 10.

August 4, 2019 – 08:01 pm
Forbes has released their annual list of the highest paid actresses and actors.

Sandra Bullock: , 000, 000
Emma Stone: , 500, 000

The bigger surprises on this list include Bingbing Fan (best known to American audiences for her role in X-Men: Days of Future Past), who is the fourth highest paid actress of the year and the only non-American thanks to roles in movies such as The White-Haired Witch of Lunar Kingdom and endorsements with Chopard and L'Oreal.
Sandra Bullock who topped Forbes' 2014 highest paid actresses list thanks to Alfonso Curon's film Gravity, dropped this year to #15 as she had no released film projects in 2014 (she provided the voice of Scarlett Overkill in Minions earlier this Summer).

E13: Terrorism and Deradicalization in Indonesia with Rakyan Adibrata
On this episode of Indonesia In-depth podcast, I speak to deradicalization and terrorism expert Rakyan Adibrata to discuss terrorist groups in Indonesia, the death sentence of a ISIS chief ideologist in Indonesia and the deportation of Indonesians caught while attempting to enter Syria and Iraq. All links to the podcast are below. Here are the key episode takeaways:
Indonesian ISIS Sympathizers
+ In 2017, there were more than 500 Indonesian ISIS sympathizers detained by the Turkish government while attempting to cross the border into Syria. They were later deported back to Indonesia. Radicalization expert, Rakyan Adibrata, believes that these individuals remain a threat to Indonesia as they have been brainwashed into believing that an Islamic Caliphate utopia exists in Syria and are difficult to deradicalize.
+ Indonesian authorities lack the manpower and funding to monitor these returnees after they have gone through the deradicalization process back home. This is cause for concern as these individuals remains vulnerable to future recruitment by extremists.
Terror Group Splits over Allegiance Pledge
+ Indonesian based Jamaah Ansharut Tauhid (JAT) is an offshoot of the Jamaah Islamiyah (JI) extremist group which was led by cleric Abu Bakar Ba'asyir. JI is most known for the 2002 Bali bombings and several suicide attacks targeted at Western hotels in Jakarta. JI had pledged its allegiance to Al Qaeda.
+ In 2014, JAT members split over Ba'asyir's pledge of allegiance to ISIS. Many key members of the group including Ba'asyir's son reportedly disagreed with this new allegiance over ideological reasons and left to form a new group called Jamaah Ansharusy Syariah (JAS).
JAT Versus JAD
+ According to Raykan's analysis, JAD and JAT are not only different due to their allegiances but also in their capabilities and dedication. JAT shares the same ideology as Al Qaeda, which often targets western symbols and aimed for mass casualties in order to create a large-scale terror. While JAD does have a large number of following, their attacks are more sporadic, less coordinated and mainly targeted the Indonesia law enforcement who they view as having a focus of worship other than Allah or Thoghut. JAD considered the government or anyone not supporting Sharia Law as Thoghut (including fellow Muslims). As the Indonesian police force continue to crack down series of terrorist cells, they have now become one of the main target of JAD as they're also considered as Thoghut.
+ Most JAT members in the past had some kind of tactical training to carry out large-scale attacks while most JAD sympathizers have little or no training and conduct sporadic attacks encouraged by ISIS. These include "lone wolf" attacks using pressure cooker bombs, knife attacks or using a vehicle as a weapon.
JAD Leader Sentenced to Death
+ Aman Abdurrahman is the chief ideologist of JAD. The group was formed in 2015. Since then, the group is responsible for series of terror attacks, including the recent Surabaya bombings in June 2018.
+ In June this year, an Indonesian court sentenced Aman Abdurrahman to death for inspiring his followers to commit a wave of terror attacks. Rakyan believes that Aman's execution may not be carried out for years and he is confident that it will not occur before Indonesian presidential election in 2019, as the Widodo government hopes to reduce any unwanted attention towards the issue. He also believes that Aman's execution will not have a negative impact on the JAD group as his sermons and ideology content are widely available on the Internet.
New Anti-Terrorism Law
+ Before the new Anti Terrorism Law was passed in parliament May 2018, Indonesia had no legal means to prosecute ISIS sympathizers that were captured abroad. After two years of deliberations in parliament, the new Anti Terrorism Bill was passed. The new law provides a legal framework to prosecute ISIS sympathizers or would be sympathizers. It also provides law enforcement with more power and allows for more room when it comes to preventative measures.
+ Radicalization of individuals while in prison continues to be a challenge for Indonesian authorities. In addition to this, some Islamic extremists continue to find ways to communicate with their followers while in prison.
