Working out in a Collierville Group Fitness Class is a lot of fun at PT squared, but more importantly- it gets results. Recent studies have shown that working out in a group environment helps people reach their health and fitness goals a lot faster than if they were to be working out on their own.
Motivation, camaraderie, and getting amazing results are just a few of the reasons why you should consider joining a Collierville Group Fitness at PT Squared.
1. Proper Instruction – Many people walk around a fitness facility and are not sure how to use the equipment or are intimidated by it. In PT Squared's Collierville Group Fitness Class setting, a trainer or coach will work with you to be sure you know how to use equipment and show you proper technique when using it.
2. Routine – Most of PT Squared's Collierville Group Fitness Class sessions are offered at the same time on the same day every week. Putting your group fitness session on your calendar allows you to set aside the time and get into a routine with your training on a weekly basis, which significantly increases the likelihood you will stick with the program.
3. Meet Friends – It's a great way to make new friends. You meet like-minded people who have a desire to be fit and improve themselves. The guy at the office who ate 3 donuts in the morning and hit McDonalds for lunch is probably not the person you want to hang with. However the people you talk to at PT Squared's Collierville Group Fitness Class sessions are probably working hard and eating well like you do. They have the same goals and desires you do and it's fun to hang out with people who have similar interests.
4. Accountability – It is much easier to skip a workout if you are training on your own or you are working individually with a personal trainer. It may be raining, snowing, too cold, too hot, windy, you feel too tired……name the excuse. It is much easier to bale on yourself than in a group setting where you make friends and they expect you to show up every session. They hold you accountable. You don't dare miss because you know your friends will be there and you don't want to let them down and you don't want to hear the abuse you know they will give you for not showing up. You also will have access to a group page with our classes ton help with the accountability where all our clients post and comment for support.
5. Saving Money – PT Squared's Collierville Group Fitness Class is a fraction of the cost of personal training. And depending on the group setting, you will still receive individual attention during the group session. The benefits of the group session are exactly the same. You still get highly effective training sessions that move you closer to your fitness goals.
6. Set the Pace – Whatever the setting, no matter how motivated you are, there are limits to how hard you can or will push yourself when you are training by yourself. It is easier to go at a slower pace or quit one or two reps short of what you could have done. Group sessions set a pace for everyone to follow and you do everything you can to keep up. When the person next to you squeezes out 10 reps, you are going to do 10 as well.
7. Competition – This leads to the next benefit of group training which is competition. Our competitive nature comes out in a group setting. You want to beat your buddy or girlfriend. They did 10 reps, so you want to squeeze out 12. They are going at a certain pace, you want to try and do it just a bit faster. The competition makes it fun and pushes you in a way that you can't do on your own. The most important thing is to always beat yourself from the previous day.
8. Encouragement – Many of PT Squared's Collierville Group Fitness Classes have a lot of hooting, hollering and high-fiving. People within the group will encourage each other to push harder, lift more and keep going. The encouragement from others is a great feeling and very motivating.
9. Accommodation of Fitness Levels – With our Group Fitness Classes, many group sessions offer modifications to make exercises easier or harder. As a trainer or coach, we call these progressions or regressions. A good coach will work with the group and accommodate the various fitness levels of individuals in the group. So it is possible to be a beginner and train with someone more advanced in a group setting. The beginner sees what the advanced person can do and has something to work towards.
10. Interesting – Most group sessions offer a variety of exercises using a variety of equipment. From Bosu Balls to kettle bells, to dumbbells to battling ropes to medicine balls to you name it; PT Squared's Collierville Group Fitness Class typically offer diversity in the exercises and the equipment within each session.

Anthropologist+Dancer Anne-Maria Makhulu debuts our Arts+ series on faculty who began their careers—and foundational training—in the arts.
This is the first in a series of profiles of faculty at Duke whose life and work are shaped by a background in the arts—even though their primary work now lies beyond the arts.

"Like a lot of little girls, I wanted to be a ballet dancer," says Anne-Maria Makhulu, Associate Professor of Cultural Anthropology and African and African American Studies at Duke. A scholar using the tools of anthropology and political economy to understand contemporary African city life, she started dance classes in London at age four and continued them in Geneva when her family moved a few years later. At 16, she went on to a performing arts boarding school in the U.K. and then moved to New York City to study at the school founded by Alvin Ailey.
That's a very conventional narrative, but it leaves out the four crucial years, starting at age 12, she was living in Gaborone, Botswana. Her father, Walter Paul Khotso Makhulu, an Anglican cleric—first appointed Bishop of Botswana and then two years later Archbishop of Central Africa—would go on to establish an underground railroad to help opponents of apartheid escape from South Africa.
Makhulu was also able to take tap, modern, and music lessons—paid for in part by the work she did demonstrating for the classes for the little kids. She and fellow students put on musicals like Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat and Pippin. Still, when she went to boarding school in West Sussex at age 16, she found herself competing with girls who had trained continuously, making her acutely aware of what she had missed.
A teacher helped arrange a scholarship for Makhulu at the Alvin Ailey American Dance Center, where she spent about two years learning forms of classical and modern technique more suited to her body type and abilities. She blossomed as a dancer—but struggled to translate that into professional success.
After a brief stint with a company in Memphis and a few years struggling to make it in New York, she enrolled in the School of General Studies at Columbia University—a program favored by dancers facing the need to reinvent themselves. She was one of six dancers—a group that ranged in age from their late 20s to mid 30s—who graduated with honors in 1994.
She notes that, as dancers, routine and repetition were second nature. "We didn't really see it as a sacrifice to sit there and read and read and read and write and write and write—you know, in a way, rehearse," she says.
There is a related practice, essential for academics, in reading. "I'm rereading a section of volume one of Das Kapital for my lecture class on Thursday," Makhulu says. "Reading is unstable, every reading is different from the last, but it requires a certain kind of discipline to hold the attention. Even though I've read those passages, it could easily be 50 times, something I've seen will inspire a rereading that's slightly distinct." Dancers have to pay exquisite attention to minute adjustments to the body, particularly at the barre.
At a conceptual level, Makhulu sees deep ties between her early immersion in the formalism of dance and her fascination with ethnography and social theory. "The formalist in me who loves ballet and loves New York City Ballet most especially, and the most formalistic of the choreography of the Alvin Ailey Company, is also the person who loves social theory," she says.
"The rigorous practice of dance shaped me as a thinker," Makhulu says, "both in my attention to detail and my sensitivity to formal relationships. But don't forget, there's also pleasure!" The feeling of a perfectly executed turn, and the beauty of bodies arranged and rearranged just so, are powerful motivations to keep moving and stay engaged.
Next up: A profile of photographer-dancer turned Duke Biology Professor, Sonke Johnson. (Hear his interview on WUNC's The State of Things, aired July 30, 2018, and November 21, 2016).

When her family goes out for pancakes, Rachel Mairose keeps an eye on what her children order. The Eden Prairie mom, 33, thinks that syrup makes a pancake breakfast sweet enough, without the sugary add-ins that her kids beg for.
But on a recent Saturday, she held her tongue when 8-year-old Lilah and her 3-year-old brother, Cavan, placed an order for a stack of buttermilk beauties complete with chocolate chips and whipped cream.
"They were checking to see if I meant it, if I really wasn't going to say no to them," Mairose said. "They saw that they could call the shots."
Mairose and her husband, Kyle, 32, had decided to give their kids a Yes Day, a full 24 hours when parents suspend their veto power and allow children to plan the activities.
Yes Day was introduced in a 2009 picture book of the same name by Amy Krouse Rosenthal and Tom Lichtenheld. It features a little boy whose mom agrees to all his requests, including pizza for breakfast, food fights and a late bedtime.
The practice rose in popularity more recently when actress Jennifer Garner Instagrammed about her family's annual Yes Day tradition. The mother of three posted a selfie, appearing as haggard as it's possible for a glamorous actress to look.
(The experience apparently showed Garner the comedic possibilities of a day when kids rule. A Yes Day movie that Garner will produce and star in is in development in Hollywood. It's safe to assume that hilarity will ensue.)
Of course, the appeal of a Yes Day to children is obvious. But it turns out that parents also relish the chance to give up the role of family cop and take a break from saying no, whether in enforcing kids' screen time and bedtime or nixing spontaneity to stick to the schedule.
"My husband and I thought this would be a cool and important opportunity for them," Mairose said. "In today's culture it seems like our kids are regimented with their activities and a full social calendar and the parents dictate what they do. We wanted them to have a day to show their autonomy and let them blossom."
Families that embrace Yes Days are advised do it with some structure.
When parents present the idea to kids, it's often with boundaries and parameters. Parents often impose a modest budget, and explain that even on a Yes Day, they can't pursue activities that could inflict injuries — for example, if kids choose a family bike ride, they still have to wear their helmets, or if they want a family movie night, it can't include fare with off-limits content.
"A Yes Day reinforces that what kids really want is their parents' time and attention, to interact with them," said Art Sesma, associate professor and chairman of the Psychology Department at St. Catherine University in St. Paul who also teaches child psychology.
With two sons, he sees the transformative potential of the day on parents as the real value of staging such an event.
"Parents can use this experience to become more mindful of when and why they say no. Do they do it reflexively, because it's convenient?" he said. "If they go back to their scolding selves the next day, it's not helpful. If they reappraise how they interact with their kids moment-to-moment and look for those opportunities for affirmation, that can influence how they parent."
Yes Days seem to have struck a nerve with millennial moms and dads.
"This appeals to parents who are willing to let go of the controls a little," said Jack MacKinnon, who studies trends and attitudes among contemporary families as a senior research analyst at Gartner.
"A Yes Day is also a way to practice moderation," he added. "This generation of parents places importance on moderation — eating healthy, for example, but allowing themselves treats, too. A Yes Day is a way to recognize the need to take a break from trying to get it perfect."
For their Yes Day, the Mairose children asked for a family outing to Valleyfair, then an evening at their grandparents' house, with a request that Nana bake a pie with blueberries the family had picked on a recent vacation.
Their other request was to adopt Penny, a dog the family had been fostering.
"They had been begging to keep her, and she was special to all of us," Mairose said. As executive director of Secondhand Hounds, she has fostered more than two dozen dogs awaiting placement, so there's always an extra pooch or two sharing the family home.
Mairose and her husband had agreed that Penny was destined to become a member of their family, but allowing the children to fill out the adoption papers on their Yes Day made the decision to keep the spotted pit bull more celebratory and memorable.
"She is my special dog, and I will always remember getting her when we were the boss of the family," Lilah said.
Psychologists have long agreed that one quality that strong families share is building traditions that they cherish and look forward to, so making Yes Days a ritual is another reason some families have adopted the practice.
The Mairose family plans to make it an annual event, and the children are composing their lists for when they will take the reins next year.
"I want us to go horseback riding," said Lilah. "And stay up late again!"

Rip City Radio 620 is your home for Portland Trail Blazers basketball! Full Bio
Blazers Road Woes Continue In Indiana
By Chad Doing
----- The Indiana Pacers closed the game on a 15-2 run to defeat the Portland Trail Blazers 108-99 Friday night at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, Indiana.
Fourth quarter woes cost the Trail Blazers again!
Jerami Grant stepped up to the line with 6:40 left in Friday night's game at Indiana and connected on two free throws giving Portland four-point lead at 97-93. The Blazers were once again in good position late to get a win, but their fourth quarter woes reared their ugly head once again.
The Pacers responded by closing the game on a 15-2 run capitalizing on Blazers' turnovers, missed shots, and defensive miscues pushing them to a 108-99 victory Friday night at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis.
Ben Mathurin led the Pacers with 19 points and Myles Turner added 17 points, eight rebounds, and two assists.
Anfernee Simons scored a team-high 20 points and Damian Lillard finished with 19 points and eight assists.
The Blazers finished with 30 assists on the night, but that success was partly negated by 18 turnovers leading to 29 Pacers' points.
It appeared Indiana's 11-0 run in the third quarter, which gave the Pacers a 78-70 lead, might be the knockout blow. But the Trail Blazers scored the final seven points of the quarter to take an 82-81 lead and opened the fourth by extending it to 88-83.
Up Next- The Blazers conclude their three-game road trip Sunday in Toronto against the Raptors. The game is scheduled to tip off at 12:30 PM.
Chad's Take- Blazers just 9-15 since their 10-4 start.

Yalla 2010 Energizes LAU Alumni and Launches Campaign
Posted by TWEBT Posted on December 16, 2010
Officials at Lebanese American University (LAU) have just wrapped up a nearly 10,000-mile journey across North America this month as a way to invigorate the university's alumni and create awareness of LAU in the United States and Canada.
This sojourn, known as Yalla! 2010 ("Yalla" is an Arabic word meaning "let's go"), took LAU's Vice President for University Advancement Richard Rumsey and Director of Alumni for North America Edward Shiner, to LAU alumni-sponsored events in ten cities across the continent in just over two weeks.
"We had a genuine opportunity to connect with hundreds of alumni and friends of LAU from all over North America and truly understand and respect what a global institution we are," Rumsey said. "That really was our main goal for Yalla and by every measure it turned out to be an overwhelming success."
Yalla! 2010 was such a galvanizing event, in fact, that that it sparked New York-based LAU alum Khalil Kanaan to provide a generous gift that he is using as a "challenge grant" to help spur on other alumni of the university to give in support of scholarship programs during the rest of the year.
Kanaan said that he was impressed with the Yalla campaign and wanted to continue its momentum while investing in education. "It is something that I truly believe in and I hope others will join me," he said.
Yalla! 2010 was extensively chronicled on its own blog (www.yalla2010.com) as well as the university's various social media platforms where visitors could see photos, watch videos and read entries to keep up with each event. Additionally, some of the events were attended by LAU's Beirut-based Director of Alumni Abdullah Al-Khal and university president Dr. Joseph Jabbra.
Rumsey said that he was pleased with the level of excitement and awareness LAU and its alumni and friends in North America were able to generate with this series of events.
"We're looking forward to that energy carrying over into the campaign for the rest of the year," he noted.
Lebanese American University (LAU) dates back to 1835 when it was established in Beirut as the American School for Girls. Today LAU is a non-profit, co-educational, private university accredited by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges offering graduate and undergraduate degrees of study in seven academic schools housed on two campuses in Beirut and Byblos, Lebanon.

Q&A
Don Braggins Owner, Machine Vision Systems Consultancy and Director, UK Industrial Vision Association
How did you come to be part of the imaging/machine vision industry?
It is amazing to think that I first started to get numbers out of images in 1964, a year before the word 'pixel' first appeared in print! I had specialised in metallurgy at Cambridge University, joined a local company called Metals Research in 1962, and the following year they developed the first 'Quantitative Television Microscope' for metallurgists in steelworks. This was an entirely analogue instrument – the results appeared on a moving coil meter and you used a slide rule to convert the output to real units. Eventually these came to be called image analysing computers and in the late 1970s industrial applications started to appear. I realised that there was a need to educate industry about how machine vision, as it became known, could be used to improve quality and enable automation, and in early 1983 I set up my independent consultancy to do just that, telling people from industry what was or wasn't possible with current technology and if it was, who could do it.
In 1992 I helped to found the UK Industrial Vision Association as a not-for-profit trade association, and in 1995 I was asked to take over its administration, an activity that I am probably best known for today. In turn, the UKIVA helped to found the European Machine Vision Association in 2003, and I sit on its Executive Committee for UKIVA.
How do you convince customers that they need machine vision?
Historically, I convinced clients by explaining the technology and relevant methods, and introducing them to suppliers who had already done similar work. I always promised clients that I would tell them if vision was not appropriate, and I can recall one occasion when I said just that and suggested a much simpler solution. These days most of my work for end users of vision is free through the UKIVA, and we write dozens of articles for the industrial press giving examples of 'success stories' using vision; that is why we support the Machine Vision in European Manufacturing conference in April next year that is doing the same thing. In recent years my paid consultancy has been more for investors or about marketing innovations in vision.
What role does Europe have in the development of machine vision?
Compared with when I started my consultancy, Europe (and especially Germany) is hugely more important in the development of vision technology. A lot of the developments in CMOS cameras have come out of Europe, and there are probably many more makers of intelligent cameras in Europe than in North America.
What do you see as the major growth sectors?
'It is amazing to think that I first started to get numbers out of images in 1964, a year before the word "pixel" first appeared in print!'
Within the field of manufacturing, the reducing cost of systems, especially intelligent cameras, is going to make it worthwhile to inspect after each and every operation, avoiding adding value to an already defective product. In the wider context of machine vision there is a huge and almost untapped potential market for intelligent surveillance – store detectives can usually recognise actions seen on CCTV that precede any shoplifting act – but as far as I know you cannot yet buy a vision system with the same capability. Geographically, the so-called tiger economies of China and India must be major opportunities. At the European Machine Vision Association's annual business conference in June, Professor Tieniu Tan, Director of the Institute of Automation of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Beijing, told us that he had more than 100 PhD students studying vision at his institute! Personal experience with goods made in China suggests that better quality control is needed in some cases.
What do you see as the most important technological challenges facing the industry?
The number of highly trained people needed to install and maintain them currently limits the application of vision systems in industry. If vision systems were made as easy to use 'out of the package' as a mobile phone, a lot more would be used. Professor Jim Crowley gave an excellent and far-sighted exposition on this theme in his invited talk on 'Autonomic computer vision systems' in ICVS Bielefeld in March 2007, based on his own experience with a start-up company making vision systems to observe human activity – he found sales limited by the availability of engineers to install them.
What do you see as being the most significant commercial change in the industry during the years ahead?
The introduction of standards specific to the vision industry, such as Camera Link and GenICam, is going to make the component side of the industry much more of a commodity market, driving down prices even more. On the other hand, the company that can make their complete systems so robust that they can genuinely be applied in every case by the end user without any specialised training will win a huge market share. Although we are seeing consolidation in the industry, there seems no end to the appearance of new companies in vision.


Send your spirit into the market, blending with the order flow, discovering its rhythm, waiting for the precise moment to take the trade. As light as a feather ride the market wave, rising and falling, faster, slower, waiting for the wave to dissolve . . . then: exit the trade. Breathe in; breathe out.
When you are in tune with the flow of the market, trading seems easy. However, entering the flow is hard. Breathing your spirit like mist into the market implies that you know you have a spirit and you know how to access it. How many years of spiritual discipline does that take? It all depends. The answer dissolves into mist.
Read the Taoist texts; find a teacher; ask your inner spiritual guide. Visualizing and feeling a cloud breathing you may help you experience your spirit body. What does any of this have to do with trading? Breathing life into your trading is necessary for injecting meaning into the process.
If trading becomes meaningless, why do it? Just for the money? That would mean wasting precious moments of your life by engaging in mechanical behaviors that drain your vital energy. Plus, if you trade just for the money, you may well lose your money and that would be doubly wasteful.
If your trading is life-affirming, then add layers of spirituality to it, infusing it with meaning to insure its longevity. Make your trading a vibrant part of your life. Choose joy.

Then God said, "Let the land produce vegetation: seed-bearing plants and trees on the land that bear fruit with seed in it, according to their various kinds." And it was so. And God saw that it was good.
Gardens and garden imagery are used throughout scripture, starting in the beginning with creation. And God saw that it was good. But what began perfect became tarnished. The first garden, the Garden of Eden, was the place of original sin; the beginning of our fallen state. There is a second garden of importance, however, the Garden of Gethsemane, where Jesus was betrayed, arrested, and taken away to die. What was intended for harm God intended for good. Through this act we are offered redemption and forgiveness, a way back to a renewed state of communion with Him…and abundant, eternal life. Redeemed.
"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future. Then you will call on me and come and pray to me and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all of your heart."
"The Lord God had planted a garden in the east, in Eden; and there he put the man he had formed.
And the Lord God made all kinds of trees grow out of the ground--trees that were pleasing to the eye and good for food."
"Remain in me, as I also remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me."
"You care for the land and water it; you enrich it abundantly. The streams of God are filled with water to provide the people with grain,for so you have ordained it. You drench its furrows and level its ridges; you soften it with showers and bless its crops. You crown the year with your bounty,and your carts overflow with abundance."

My friend Chantal and I once walked three miles around downtown Oakland trying to figure out what to eat. After an hour and a half, we ended up at a mediocre restaurant which was right across the street from our original starting point. Was it a waste of time walking all those miles, as opposed to just going across the street? Depends on how much time you have/want to waste, I guess. Thus, to save the people around you next time your "hangriness" sets in, I decided to go and try to find the best places to eat around the Bay Area by asking the workers at the restaurants what their favorite places were to eat -- like a game of restaurant telephone, if you will.
Our first stop was the infamous taco truck right by Lake Merritt, located on the intersection of 1st Avenue and 1st Avenue Place in Oakland. As a go-to spot for many locals and those not so local, we decided that it would be a good starting point for our ventures. Since it was my first time at this truck, I decided to go for the classic steak taco. Chantal on the other hand, though not a vegetarian, often prefers the vegetarian options; so she ordered a veggie taco and burrito.
The steak taco verdict: very much standard. Not too greasy, nor too dry. Consisting of the standard steak, cilantro, and onions on two corn tortillas, it'll satisfy your taco cravings just enough. Personally, merely judging based on the food, I don't see what the hype about this place is all about. However, because it was convenient, had great service, standard food, close to a quality view, and was $2.00 -- I can't complain.
As for the veggie burrito, Chantal said it was just "fine." It could have used something along the lines of pico de gallo to liven up the flavor, but at the end of the day, again, it was just standard. The veggie taco on the other hand, is one of her favorites. Reason being because it has "rice, lettuce, tomatoes, salsa, sour cream, and cheese and whatever. All the stuff you need." Take that as you will.
On recommendation from the lovely man that made my taco at Tacos Mi Rancho, we headed over to the weird corporate/factory side of Emeryville to visit Los Moles. Upon entry, we grabbed a menu out of the basket, took a seat up front, and decided to skip the rest of the menu to head straight for "Nuestros Moles" as it only seemed fitting. Out of the seven moles that were offered, you were allowed to choose up to four for $13.95. Since we both had never had mole before, we decided to take a gamble on the Mole Poblano Traditional, Mama Elena, Pipian Mole, and Mole Habanero.
After ordering at the register, we were notified that the buffet with the chips, salsa, and drinks were free. As peasants of the teenage budget life, we were more than overjoyed to tackle this wonderful opportunity. Thus, we grabbed ourselves a basket of chips and small cups of the three types of salsa they had: Saia Chile de Arbol (mild), Salsa Tomatillo (mild), and Salsa Infierno (hot). I typically avoid anything remotely spicy as I have rather sensitive taste buds, however for the purposes of this article, I decided to give the Salsa Infierno a go.
Simply put, I felt like I had torched my own mouth. After less than half a teaspoon, I was left with four empty glasses of water and a bit of regret. After trying the Saia Chile de Arbol and Salsa Tomatillo which were both a little too liquidy, but just spicy enough, I wasn't too sure how well the Salsa Infierno would turn out. Though the smokey flavor was initially quite nice, that in combination with the spice from the mountains of black pepper lingered in my mouth for quite awhile after it was gone. We both didn't enjoy the Infierno very much (also considering Chantal's greater tolerance for spicy food), however on the bright side it did possess much more texture than the mild salsas.
As for the moles that came soon after, as a general consensus, they each had their own charm. With each one containing over 30 ingredients, even if one wasn't for you, you would still be able to respect the intricacies in the layers of flavor that came with each of the moles. My personal favorite was the Mole Pipian as it was the sweetest out of the four. With a rather prominent pumpkin flavor in combination with small tender pieces of chicken, the Pipian felt like the ultimate Thanksgiving comfort food. The Mole Habanero on the other hand, being Chantal's favorite, was also quite nice as it was sweet, but also possessed a spicy kick that was good for her and manageable enough for me.
In regards to the Mole Mama Elena, it had the strongest bitter flavor out of the four. Reminiscent of the bitter melons one can order at Chinese restaurants, it wasn't too bad, however you'd need to have a certain taste for bitter foods in order to particularly enjoy it.
Finally, the Mole Poblano Traditional was simply the Elena, but sweeter. Though the latter two weren't necessarily for us, in the end we didn't hate any of it. Therefore, if you're looking for a place to entice a group with varying taste pallets, Los Moles is the place to go.
Sadly, due to my bank account looking as disappointing as the ingredients list to a McDonald's Chicken McNugget, our last stop was the senegalese restaurant recommended by our waitress at Los Moles called "Bissap Baobab" in downtown Oakland. Located on 15th street, upon entering, we seated ourselves at a booth next to a mirror that was big enough to serve my entire ego. Once we had settled, we were greeted by a golden goddess of a waitress (and this is no exaggeration) with our menus. After an in depth study of all the options, we decided on the Dibi, which is chicken with Yassa sauce, fried plantains, and a side salad, and the Pastelles, two savory deep fried pastries, one with marinated beef and the other with feta and spinach, both also topped with Yassa sauce.
Little did I know, everything that we ordered went above and beyond both of our expectations. From the pastry of the Pastelles being perfectly flaky to the fillings feeling like the comfort of a mother's hug, everything from the texture to the taste was balanced out perfectly. The feta in the feta and spinach Pastelle was quite strong, however in combination with everything else, it worked as if it were a better version of a melted quiche. The marinated beef in the marinated beef Pastelle reminded me quite a bit of the elementary school lunch beef they would put inside of the empanadas. This probably sounds a little suspicious, however my school lunch was not actually too bad back then (I think it was before the era where they actually monitored and cared that much about health).
In regards to the Dibi, Chantal and I were both extremely excited about the plantains that came along with it. As both of us took trips during the summer to countries where plantains played a central role in the diets of the people there (her to Nicaragua and I to the Dominican Republic), we both found extreme nostalgia in every bite. Furthermore, the side salad that came with the Dibi proved to be super fresh with the orange slice providing a nice touch of citrus. In addition, the chicken was cooked perfectly. Being tender, fall off the bone, rich in flavor (also a little spicy but in a good way), and great in combination with the onions in the Yassa sauce, Bissap Baobab has made its way to become my favorite restaurant of all time.
This article was super funny! Definitely takes a fun spin on the normal restaurant review. Pretty original, I like it. From one broke teen to another, I know the struggle, and no matter how pricey, I will be taking these places into consideration the next time I'm hungry and can't make up my mind.
oh I'm so gonna check out the third restaurant now. I got hungry just reading about this.

Патронат Привредникових добротвора је био орган Српског привредног друштва Привредник у Загребу а касније и у Београду који је окупљао најзначајније Привредникове донаторе и оне који су својим радом и деловањем допринели националним интересима, као и који је имао задатак да управља Привредниковим фондовима и закладама.

Оснивање

На великој скупштини Привредника, 16. маја 1910. године, на иницијативу тадашњег председника Исидора Добровића једногласно је закључено да треба да се прошире сви послови и да се за управу разних фондова постави нарочити Патронат. Патронат је формиран 10. септембра 1911. године у Загребу пошто су усвојени правилници о делокругу у задацима његовог рада. По њима, Патронат је преузео управу над записима, тестаментима и фондовима Привредника. Овај орган имао је овлашћење да улаже у непокретности, у вредносне папире, да издаје зајмове и некретнине, да улаже готовину у Српску ванку у Загребу, као и да обавља сличне послове.

Доживотни добротворни чланови Патроната постали су тога дана сви живи Срби и Српкиње, добротворни члнаови Привредника, који су још за живота дали веће доприносе, који су тестаментом оставили имовину Привреднику или су му своје некретнине поверили на управу.

У Привредниковом патронату у време оснивања, 1911. године, између осталих, били су: Лазар Бачић, Патријарх српски Лукијан, Ђорђе Велисављевић, Евген Думча, Лазар Дунђерски, Исидор Добровић, Јован Ђуричић Биорац, Ђорђе Јагњић, Паја Јовановић, Стево Калембер, владика Георгије, Паулина и Владимир Матијевић, Раденко Станковић, Никола Ћук и други.

Између два светска рата

Чланови Патроната у том периоду били су: Краљ Александар Први, Патријарх српски Гаврило, епископ будимски Георгије, епископ тузлански Нектарије, научник Михаило Пупин, сликар Паја Јовановић, трговаци Коста Миросављевић, Светозар Гођевац, Аврам Филиповић, Сретен Алексић и Владимир Ралетић, као директор фаврике "Бата" Тома Максимовић итд.

Патронат из 1923. године с краљем Александром на челу имао је 143 члана, a 1927. 180 чланова.

Последњи Патронат био је за 1939. и 1940. годину када је бројао 166 чланова.

Editorial: Earth Day is over. Take a clod to lunch.
May 1, 1995 Dylan Forest Leave a comment
From ANIMAL PEOPLE, May 1995:
The Editor's most original contribution to the initial Earth Day, 25 years ago,
may have been coining the slogan, "Today is Earth Day; take a clod to lunch." In the 1970
atmosphere of Berkeley, California, where the Editor was then a cub reporter, it went
without saying that the lunch would be vegetarian. The radical idea was not that meat-eat-
ing was and is the most fundamental environmental issue. Already Food First author
Frances Moore Lappe, Population Bomb author Paul Erlich, and Silent Spring author
Rachel Carson had delineated the links between meat production and depleted topsoil, star-
vation, and overuse of pesticides. Every incipient environmentalist in that particular time
and place at least paid lip-service to the ideal of vegetarianism. Disagreement arose, rather,
over the affirmation that the path to change lay through breaking bread instead of heads;
that environmental problems were due not to inherent flaws in the capitalist system, but to
rectifiable ignorance, which could be overcome more easily through discussion than
through fulminating about smashing the state.
Our sense was that despite huge gaps in awareness of environmental problems,
and some deep disagreements over their causes and solutions, hardly anyone genuinely
favored either pollution or exterminating endangered species, the two issues of most con-
cern to me. Hoping to avoid the societal polarization we'd already noted in the civil rights
and peace movements, we urged that the first Earth Day should be a teach-in, welcoming
all comers––not an us-against-them protest. The speed with which the Richard Nixon presi-
dency ratified the Clean Air Act (1972), the Clean Water Act (1972), the Marine Mammal
Protection Act (1972), the Endangered Species Act (1973), and the Convention on
International Trade in Endangered Species (1973) later validated our hope that shared con-
cern for animals and the environment could become one of the aspects of citizenship uniting
Americans as a people with a shared moral vision.
By the 20th Earth Day, in 1990, that seemed to have happened. Opinion polls
repeatedly found that from half to three-fourths of all Americans identified themselves as
environmentalists, depending upon how the question was worded. At least a third of all
Americans recognized as serious each of more than 20 environmental problems they were
asked about––whereas, in 1970, few recognized more than two or three environmental
problems. By 1990 the environmental movement had come through the overtly hostile
Ronald Reagan administration so much stronger that even Reagan's former vice president,
George Bush, proclaimed his intention to be remembered as "the environmental president."
Barely five years later, public opinion on environmental issues has never seemed
more sharply divided; environmentalism has never appeared less popular. The so-called
wise use movement claims to have delivered the margin of victory in as many as 32 trans-
fers of Congressional seats from Democrats to Republicans. A substantial faction within
Congress thus claims a mandate to dismantle environmental protections, most especially
the Endangered Species Act, which House Resources Committee chair Don Young (R-
Alaska) has declared to be "number one" on his personal hit list.
Even more ominous, The Tyndall Report, which monitors broadcasting content,
recently found that environmental coverage on network newscasts fell 84% from 1989
through 1994. No media could be interpreted to mean no concern.
But both the wise-use muscle-flexing in Congress and the decline in media notice
could be illusory. Network environmental coverage peaked in 1989-1990 due to the Exxon
Valdez oil spill and the Earth Day 20th anniversary. Some decline was to be expected––
until something else, perhaps the wise-use attack on environmental laws, pushes the envi-
ronment back up the list of public priorities. The wise-users may also claim too much credit
for the Republican capture of Congress. A post-election survey sponsored by the National
Wildlife Federation found that only 18% of Americans favor relaxing environmental protec-
tion laws, while 41% still say they want such laws strengthened. Even among Republicans,
70% favor a strong Clean Water Act; 60% favor ending subsidies to miners, loggers, and
ranchers who use public land; and 47% support the ESA. Only 41% think it should be
relaxed to favor business.
What is not illusory is the declining strength of at least five of the seven biggest
U.S. environmental advocacy groups. NWF, Greenpeace, the National Audubon Society,
the Sierra Club, and the Wilderness Society have all failed to keep the huge increases in
membership they enjoyed during 1989-1990, and have had to downsize. They may yet
capitalize on alarm over attempts to weaken environmental laws to recapture their peak con-
stituencies. At the same time, it must be noted that their steepest decline came just as some
of their senior board members and executives took high posts in the Bill Clinton administra-
tion. These groups should have gained from their unprecedented influence.
Whatever happens next, the environmental movement as such is over. The cause
remains alive with both activists and the public, but the unbroken momentum characteriz-
ing a movement has given way to the waxing and waning of an institutionalized special
interest––like education, health care, or organized labor, each of which also had move-
ment origins. The legacy of the environmental movement remains the infrastructure adopt-
ed under the Nixon administration. Most activity in the past two decades plus has involved
using that infrastructure to defend and consolidate the early gains.
Along the way, as an environmental establishment evolved, concern for animals
––growing among the public––was largely abandoned by leadership. It was well under-
stood, at the time, that much of the early clout of environmentalism came from mobilizing
animal lovers. Accordingly, through 1973, animal issues were at the forefront of the envi-
ronmental agenda. The MMPA, ESA, and CITES were and are essentially animal protec-
tion measures, addressing humane concerns to some extent as well as the survival of
species. However, the 1974 Arab oil embargo shifted public attention to energy, and the
environmental focus shifted with it to the resource issues that have preoccupied the major
groups ever since. Newly enfranchised enviros hastily brokered a marriage-of-convenience
with old-line hunter/conservationists, who then as now dominated the leadership of many
key organizations and institutions. Rather than be embarrassed by "antis," the environmen-
tal power-brokers disassociated themelves from the animal rights movement, which rose
after 1974 in part because of the failure of organized environmentalism to follow through on
concern for animals. The gap widened as the animal rights cause aligned itself with long
established and well-endowed antivivisection societies. Denouncing animal testing, animal
rights activists attacked the very basis of the environmentalist drive to ban or restrict use of
toxic chemicals––which polls affirmed as the leading environmental issue, in the public
mind, throughout the 1980s.
Since Greenpeace abandoned anti-fur and anti-sealing campaigns in the mid-
1980s, ostensibly to make common cause with native Americans who rejected the overture,
none of the biggest environmental groups have even pretended to advance humane con-
cerns, as distinguished from concern about species. Most environmentalist activity under-
taken on behalf of species, moreover, has actually involved using the MMPA and ESA as
tools in resource disputes over water rights, logging, and oil-drilling. Use of animal pro-
tection laws to "lock up" resources is indeed the major reason why the ESA is itself now
endangered. Whatever the merits of protecting wilderness and unexploited mineral
reserves, the ESA was not adopted to serve those purposes. Indeed, most of the species
most at risk are found in remnant green space close to human habitation, where conserva-
tion incentives rather than "lock-ups" might prove more efficacious in preserving them.
The truth that was first casualty
The first casualty of the institutionalization of environmentalism, however, was
the early emphasis on vegetarianism, which in 1970 the Editor mistook for universal.
Perhaps shedding vegetarianism was part of the price of public acceptance––but whether or
not giving up meat was or is palatable to much of the public, the environmental harm done
by meat consumption must still be addressed. The fastest-growing pollution problem in the
U.S. is what to do with all the concentrated excrement produced by factory farms, far from
any fields where it can be spread. The Soil Conservation Service, a branch of the USDA,
estimates that about half of the 280 million acres under tillage in the U.S. are naturally at
risk from soil erosion, and about 65% are being tilled––chiefly to grow corn to feed live-
stock––by methods that promote erosion. Intensive irrigation to produce fodder crops con-
tinues to drain water and fossil fuel resources, as well; depending on whose statistics one
cites, a meat-centered diet takes from four to 16 times as much water and petroleum to pro-
duce as a vegetarian diet. Five years ago the General Accounting Office found that most
federally leased pastures are overgrazed (contributing to the decline of 346 endangered
species, according to an NWF follow-up), yet there are more cattle on the range now than
then, and despite a series of fruitless efforts to hike grazing fees to encourage conservation,
the fees are actually from 19¢ to 37¢ lower per animal unit month now than in 1994.
Nor is eating fish any more environmentally benign. The United Nations Food and
Agriculture Organization recently reported that nine of the world's 17 major fisheries are in
serious decline, four are commercially depleted, and the remaining four are either "fully
exploited" or "over-exploited."
Quite apart from humane considerations, and even without looking at the effects
of animal agriculture on rainforests or the cattle-dependent starving nations of North Africa,
there are ample reasons why every environmentalist should give up meat and fish, and why
every environmental group should actively encourage that choice. The level of environmen-
tal awareness in the U.S. should translate into a growing national commitment to eating less
flesh. Instead, per capita meat consumption just hit an all-time high. More discouraging, a
National Live Stock & Meat Board survey of the eating habits of 20,000 Americans over a
two-week period reported in February that while 3% call themselves "meat avoiders" and
2% call themselves "vegetarians," close to the figure of 6% vegetarians estimated by vege-
tarian activist groups, the so-called "meat avoiders" and "vegetarians" actually consume
about 60% of the volume of red meat, fish, and poultry that self-acknowledged meat-eaters
do. Fewer than 1% are in fact fully vegetarian.
In a separate survey, the NLSMB found that only 1% of American youth see eco-
logical harm in eating beef, and fewer still see ecological harm in eating pork and poultry.
In short, both the institutionalized environmental movement and the animal rights
movement have to date failed in addressing the most basic of issues: what's for dinner if we
eat ourselves out of our habitat? Curbing population growth, a currently fashionable goal
also raised by Lappe, Erlich, and Carson, can delay the need for answers, but however
many of us exist, the question won't go away. And in the long run it doesn't really matter
how the environmental movement responds to the wise-use challenge, if it can't or won't
encourage a drastic drop in meat consumption, before loss of the resources to produce meat
forces it upon us, after we've already lost our rare species and every other aspect of our
environment that the meat habit jeopardizes.
Earth Day is over, but it's still a good idea to take a clod to lunch––a vegetarian
lunch, to explain gently that while there's no such thing as a free lunch, a lunch without
meat or fish costs the earth less; provides more nutrition for the input; and is healthier for
us as well as for animals.


April 16, 2010: North Korea has a fleet of over 60 mini-subs, and about 25 older Russian type conventional boats. North Korea got the idea for minisubs from Russia, which has had them for decades. One of their miniature subs are suspected of recently (March 26th) torpedoing a South Korean corvette. The South Koreans are retrieving the wreckage of the corvette, and that will enable them to determine what sank the ship.
The most popular mini-sub is the M100D, a 76 ton, 19 meter (58 foot) long boat that has a crew of four and can carry eight divers and their equipment. The North Koreans got the idea for the M100D when they bought the plans for a 25 ton Yugoslav mini-sub in the 1980s. Only four were built, apparently as experiments to develop a larger North Korean design. There are to be over 30 M100Ds.

Gösta Hedén var en svensk jazzmusiker (kapellmästare och piano).

Biografi
Gösta Hedén arbetade på Nordiska Musikförlagets butik i Göteborg, där han bland annat spelade upp nya melodier för kunder som ville köpa noter. Han flyttade senare till Waideles butik och arbetade även där som song plugger.

Hedén betecknades som Göteborgs jazzkung på 1920-talet. Under Göteborgsutställningen 1923 spelade han med engelsmannen Jack Harris och därefter satte han ihop egna orkestrar, som trots olika sammansättning, alltid bar namnet Gösta Hedéns orkester. Hedén spelade överallt där jazzmusik förekom i Göteborg: Trädgårdsföreningen, Hotell Eggers, Lorensberg och Valand, liksom vid skeppsredarnas fester och sjösättningar. Förebilden musikaliskt var de engelska storbanden, främst Jack Hyltons. Man prioriterade dansbarheten och spelade efter tryckarrangemang. Utrymmet för improvisationer var därför inte stort.
