Two Key Third Party Liability Theories In Port St. Lucie

Florida’s auto insurance minimum requirement is one of the lowest in the country. Many drivers only have $10,000 in accident coverage. In a catastrophic injury case, like a wrongful death, that amount may not be nearly enough to provide fair compensation to the victim/plaintiff. There are options in this situation, such as attaching current assets or maybe even future earnings. These efforts are often successful, but they are also rather cumbersome.

A better approach is to find another defendant that is also financially responsible. If that defendant has rather “deep pockets,” that’s even better. So, vicarious liability plays an important role in many Florida car crash cases.

Some Basic Employer Liability Theories in Florida

If the tortfeasor (negligent driver) was a taxi driver, truck driver, or Uber driver, respondeat superior (“let the master answer”) usually applies. As a bonus, these commercial drivers are typically common carriers in Florida. Since these individuals have a higher duty of care, it is often easier to establish liability against the tortfeasor.

Back to the damages question. This doctrine is the most widely-used employer liability theory. Respondeat superior has three basic elements:

  • Employee: The tortfeasor must be the company’s employee. This part of the law does not restrict this label to regular workers who earn a regular paycheck. Instead, most Florida courts use the Department of Labor’s definition, which is “suffer or permit to work.” Under that definition, independent contractors, owner-operators, and even most unpaid volunteers are “employees.”
  • Course of Employment: Just like anyone who does any work for the employer is an employee, any activity which benefits the employer in any way is within the scope of employment. That could include something as simple as driving a company car that bears the company logo, because the employer benefits from the free advertising.
  • Foreseeability: This rule is not limited to respondeat superior cases but is common in most negligence matters. The injury must be a foreseeable result of the employment relationship. For example, it is arguably not foreseeable for a worker to break into the parking garage and steal a company car.

Respondeat superior applies in most car accident cases. If the tort is an intentional one, such as assault, there are other theories, such as negligent hiring and negligent supervision.

Does Florida Have a Dram Shop Law?

Some states have done away with their alcohol liability laws, on the grounds that they detract from personal responsibility. But there is a difference between personal responsibility and legal responsibility. Legal responsibility is partially about fault, but it also has to do with who can correct the environment. In an alcohol-related crash situation, the alcohol provider clearly has the power to make things safer.

So, there are two ways to establish third-party liability against a bar, restaurant, grocery store, or other commercial alcohol provider in Port St. Lucie:

  • Under 21: If the tortfeasor was an intoxicated minor, the provider is usually liable for damages as a matter of law. Generally, the victim/plaintiff must only make a connection between the tortfeasor’s intoxication and the alcohol sale.
  • Over 21: If the tortfeasor was an adult, the strict liability provision does not apply. However, liability still attaches if the victim/plaintiff proves that the provider knew the tortfeasor was habitually addicted to alcohol.

Similar to respondeat superior, the accident must be a foreseeable result of the sale. In this context, it is foreseeable that a driver will open packaged alcohol, drink it on the way home, and become impaired.

Integrity Dilemmas. Diplomatic and Political Perspectives

I will talk from my own experience as diplomat and politician. Very different worlds – and the difference may also illuminate the elusiveness of the word “integrity”.
In normal peaceful times and in democratic societies you face no specific integrity problems related to the diplomatic service. There are very rarely issues, which may raise conflicts of conscience versus directions from above, not more than in other parts of civil service. The question of transparency and openness may be an integrity problem. Related to that is also the question how much a diplomat can or should participate in the public debate in her or his home country.
The integrity problem may be much more important and difficult if you serve in a country with a repressive regime or in time of violent conflicts or even war. I will give a few examples from the Swedish diplomatic history, also recent cases. The main question: Should you as ambassador in a critical moment act according to your values and good judgement even if you have reason to suspect that your government dislike or even oppose your actions?
A less dramatic but important integrity question relates to reporting. Should your adjust reporting to what your government would like to hear?
In politics the integrity question is – in contrast – a more or less eternal companion, if you interpret integrity as a strong commitment to you personal values. Should you stick to your own strong beliefs and at the end reject the party line? Adjustment or opposition? Is that integrity or just a kind of egocentricity?
In societies where market values and market operations are penetrating every corner politicians are more and more exposed to the power of wealth and money. Here are severe integrity problems not only for individual politicians but also for the whole public life.

Carl Tham studied Literature and History at the University of Stockholm. From 1976 to 1982, he was a member of the Swedish parliament. During his parliamentary career, he was also Secretary of State in the Ministry of Works (1976 – 1978), Energy Minister (1978 – 1979), Special Council for Development Aid to the Foreign Minister (1979 – 1981) and Secretary of State for Development Aid (1981 – 1982). From 1982 to 1994 he was the General Director of SIDA, the Swedish Office for International Development Cooperation and from 1994 to 1998 he was the Minister for Education and Science. From 2002 to 2006, Carl Tham served as the Swedish Ambassador to Germany. He has also served on special committees of the UN and the World Bank as well as having been Co-Chairman of the Independent International Committee on Kosovo. He has written a number of books on such diverse topics as the new/old left in Swedish politics, on the reform of the University system and on sustainable economic development. Carl Tham is a regular contributor to Swedens leading journals and newspapers.

A conversation with Florian Lange

An interview

We chatted with Florian Lange about his recently accepted paper at EJP, titled, "Cognitive Flexibility and Pro‐environmental Behaviour: A Multimethod Approach". Florian is a postdoctoral researcher at KU Leuven, Belgium.

Read more about the study and Florian below!

Q: Hi there Florian! Can you tell us a little about who you are and what got you interested in personality psychology?

When choosing a subject for my undergraduate studies, I already knew that I wanted to become a researcher (while only having a very vague idea about what this would entail). So the critical question was: “What would be the most interesting research topic?” My answer at that point was “human behavior” – and I am happy to say that this answer hasn’t changed in the meantime.

One of the many things that I didn’t anticipate was how many different approaches can be taken to examine this very same topic. I was lucky enough to gain first-hand research experiences within many of these approaches. Among others, I sat at intersections counting pedestrians crossing at red traffic lights, observed food-sharing birds, recorded EEGs, and conducted field experiments in a supermarket. I continue to be amazed by the multiplicity of behavioral science research and I believe that it taught me a lot.

After my doctoral studies, I started to apply insights from multiple disciplines to the study of pro-environmental behavior. As a postdoctoral researcher in the Behavioral Engineering Group at KU Leuven I examine what drives people to reduce the ecological footprint of their behavior. As I believe that many of the questions in this field can best be answered under controlled conditions, I have focused on the development of a laboratory task for the assessment of actual pro-environmental behavior. On this task, participants repeatedly choose between two transportation options. When they choose the bicycle option, they have to wait longer for the next trial than when they choose the car option. However, choosing the car option also turns on a number of lights in the laboratory, which wastes a small amount energy. Hence, participants can choose between one option that minimizes the time they spend in the laboratory and another option that minimizes the environmental impact of their choices. This task has also been a core feature of our current paper on the personality correlates of pro-environmental behavior (see below).

Q: What do you like to do outside of work?

I am a passionate cyclist and, in this respect, coming to Belgium for my postdoctoral studies has had a couple of very pleasant side effects. Not only do I have a front seat to some of the most exciting races in the world, I’ve also had plenty of opportunities to explore the routes in the area myself. I especially enjoy (don’t know why yet) showing other riders “that new hill I recently discovered”. Another very socially accepted hobby of mine is helping people move households. =)

Q: What is your study about?

Our studies examined the personality correlates of pro-environmental behavior. We particularly focused on the contribution of cognitive flexibility, a construct that I worked on during my PhD studies in neuropsychology. Cognitive flexibility can broadly be defined as the ability to switch perspectives, thoughts, thinking styles, and strategies. When planning this research project, we faced a special challenge: There are many ways to assess both cognitive flexibility and pro-environmental behavior. We did not know how these assessment approaches relate to each other and we did not find convincing reasons to prefer one approach over the other. So we decided for a two-step strategy: We first conducted an exploratory study involving many measures of both constructs (including our laboratory task of pro-environmental behavior) to identify the most promising relationships.

Then we conducted a second, preregistered study to check whether the relationships we found were robust. The maybe unsurprising answer was: Well, some of them are, others are not. This might not be the most spectacular of all findings and it certainly does not allow for definitive conclusions about the relationship between cognitive flexibility and pro-environmental behavior, but I also believe that it might be unrealistic to expect such conclusions from individual research projects. I think that many research questions can only be answered collectively, with the collection of numerous high-quality data sets. During the review process, I got the impression that the European Journal of Personality shares this vision. I do not think that our work was published for having produced groundbreaking findings (which, again, it probably didn’t), but for the generation and transparent reporting of valuable data and for our efforts to ensure the robustness of our results. As such, it might be a nice illustration of how open science practices can help to sift the signal from the noise and to build a reliable research literature.

Q: Where do you see yourself in the (near) future?

Well, I hope to find myself in the research lab, producing more high-quality datasets on the determinants of pro-environmental behavior. =) It is my vision to establish a long-term research program that systematically addresses the small details in this field. I think that, due to a lack of appropriate research tools, research on pro-environmental behavior traditionally focused on very broad research questions (e.g., “Do incentives promote pro-environmental behavior?”). In expensive field studies, these might be the only addressable questions. In the laboratory, you can zoom in and ask “At which rate/delay/intensity are incentives most effective in promoting (which kind of) pro-environmental behavior?” or you can study complex interactions between multiple parameters. By this means, I hope to generate novel insights into the mechanisms underlying pro-environmental behavior and possibly even new ways to reduce the ecological footprint of human behavior.

Q: Do you have any tips or advice for young researchers?

As alluded to before, I worked in quite a number of different research fields and disciplines. These disciplines varied considerably in their research cultures and quality standards. I often had the impression that within a particular field, particular approaches to doing research were considered as being without any alternative. After having encountered the second or third of these approaches, you start doubting the validity of this perspective. =) So, I guess my advice would be to soak up as many divergent influences as possible. That way, many principles that seem absolute or universal at first sight may turn out to be little more than a field-specific convention. Knowing how different disciplines conceptualize behavior, which methods they endorse, which quality dimensions they prioritize (and which they ignore) can be very helpful in developing your own independent research vision.

And then there is the thing about open science. As its many advantages have been mentioned in previous interviews in this blog already, I will not elaborate on them again, but only stress how liberating it is to confidently reject a hypothesis when you do so according to preregistered rules. And these colorful open-science badges on top of your paper are a nice bonus!

Q: Thank you for the interview, Florian!

3 Quick and Easy Ways to Upgrade Your Closet

white closet

A few years ago, I became obsessed with the idea of having a neat, organized closet.  Blame Pintrest. And Keeping Up With the Kardashians.

At the time, my closet looked like a hoarder's paradise, whereas the photos on Pintrest looked like ~heaven~. I quickly got to organizing.

Here are 3 quick and easy ways to upgrade your closet into one that makes you excited to get dressed each morning.

1. Use Wood Clothing Hangers

I don't know about you, but I used to have a gajillion different types of hangers in millions of colors. I switched them all out for wood hangers and it makes a HUGE visual difference – much more streamlined, organized, and elegant.

I used to buy these hangers at the Container Store, but they were expensive at $7 for 6 hangers and it kind of became like a drug fix (Must.....have.....wooden.....hangers). Like any good addict, I found another source for my drug instead: Ikea at around $4 for 8. SO WORTH IT.

If you can't get wood hangers, I think that so long as you standardize the type of hanger you are using throughout your closet, it will help make things appear more neat and organized.

Hangers wooden

2. Organize by Color

There's just something very beautiful about having it organized by color. It also makes clothes easier to find. I went a step further and organized by type, then color. Above, you see that I placed all my dresses in one closet, and below you see my sweaters (lower rack) and tops (upper rack) in another area of the closet, also organized by color. This isn't necessary though – simply organizing by color will go a long way.

3. Curate, Curate, Curate, Then Donate

Once everything is organized by color and style, you'll have a 10,000 foot view of your closet, making it easier to curate. This step is kind of fun, like going shopping in your own closet.

I had a bunch of clothes from 7th grade that I was still holding on to. Some items were sentimental, and so I purchased a few storage boxes from the Container Store (yeah, I'm pretty obsessed) and placed items in there. Other items were unworn for many years, and so I donated those in a nearby clothing drop off parking lot box. Another option would have been to trade them in for cash at Ebay, The RealReal, or a Buffalo Exchange store, or a local consignment shop.

Have fun!

Experts and doctors warn: Pregnant women and children should not be exposed to wireless radiation

[Articolo datato, ma utile da leggere.]

23 October 2014 – “”

…But we humans are mostly just standing around talking about this, whereas ants and bees are fleeing the field!
by Dr. Olle Johansson, Associate Professor, Karolinska Institute, Stockholm | translated from original article on

DEBATE: On  July 3, 2014, an international team of doctors, scientific experts, and non-profit organizations called for pregnant women tolimit exposure to wireless radiation from cell phones and other devices, by taking simple steps to protect themselves and their unborn children, writes Associate Professor Olle Johansson — whose article SvD (Svenska Dagbladet) and DN (Dagens Nyheter) refused to publish.

TProf. Olle Johanssonhe information campaign entitled The Babysafe Project is coordinated by The Grassroots Environmental Education and Environmental Health Trust, and is based on independent, scientific research which links exposure to wireless radiation from cell phones during pregnancy to neurological problems and behavioral disorders similar to ADHD/ADD in children.

Already in 2010, after a consensus meeting 2009 in Seletun, Norway, myself and a group of scientists voiced strong warnings and recommendations about wireless dangers in the Seletun report, which subsequently became the basis for the Council of Europe’s resolution No. 1815 in 2011.

A team of researchers in California conducted a major study of cell phone use among pregnant women. For one year the team looked at all the kids who were born in Denmark, and interviewed the mothers about their cell phone use during pregnancy, as well as the child’s later cell phone usage and behavior pattern. As it turned out, to the scientists’ surprise, the mothers who had the most frequent cell phone use during their pregnancy consequently had the greatest risk of having children with behavioral difficulties.

This included both autism and ADHD/ADD-like behaviors. The greater risk was statistically significant and increased with further cell phone use by the child. [Divan H A, Kheifets L, Obel C, Olsen J (2008)“Prenatal and postnatal exposure to cell phone use and behavioral problems in children”, Epidemiology 2008; 19: 523-529.]

Fetuses are affected

Make no mistake, this is not limited to just children: even fetuses are significantly affected. A team of researchers, lead by Mr. Jing, of the Department of Public Health, Shandong University in China, has studied the effects of cell phone radiation on pregnant, rat’s fetuses. [Jing J, Yuhua Z, Xiao-Qian Y, Rongping J, Dong-Mei G, Xi C, “The influence of microwave radiation from cellular phone on fetal rat brain”, Biol Electromagn by 2012; Jan 23.].

The researchers measured changes in neuronal signal substances and effects on antioxidant enzyme which will protect our cells from oxidative stress. The conclusion was that cell phone radiation during pregnancy gave rise to damage in the fetus’ brains! The rat babies were already born with brain injuries. What parent would want that for its offspring?

Insects and animals are adversely affected: placebo effect is excluded

A survey carried out in 2011 in Lausanne, Switzerland, has shown that the signal from the cell phones may not only confuse bees, but also cause their death. When researchers exposed beehives to cell phone radiation, the bees occupying the hive simply choose to move away and never return. This is exactly the behavior that beekeepers worldwide call CCD, Colony Collapse Disorder, a phenomenon that involves an abrupt disappearance of bees from their hives. We do not know why this is happening, but the authorities have chosen to ignore the above research findings — as cell phones and wireless iPads surely cannot be called into question.

In order to achieve pollination, there are now on the market handheld electric pollinators which via high-frequency sound mimic the bee’s wing vibrations. Pollen is caught in a plastic cup and transferred to other flowers. Other companies are selling robotic bees, that is real “drones”, and little robot birds. In China, workers have been forced out in the fields with brushes in their hands to do the job that former natural pollinators have done for millennia. Is this the development that we want??

A Belgian-Swedish study on ants [Cammaerts M-C, Johansson O, “Ants can be used as bio-indicators to reveal biological effects of electromagnetic waves from some wireless apparatus”, Electromag Biol 2013; early online: 1-7. DOI: 10.3109/15368378.2013.817336] who were made unable to leave their artificial laboratory home, revealed that when exposed to cell phone radiation, they chose to move themselves and their eggs away from the radiation source.

When a cell phone was place beneath the part of the ant home where the ant eggs were stored, the eggs were immediately moved diagonally as far away as possible — and the ants established their toilet areaover where the cell phone was placed. The adult ants displayed obvious behavioral disorders, with more disruption in their daily activities and increasingly scanning of their local environment. It was clear that something concerned them.

French researchers, under the direction of Alain Vian at the Equipe de Recherche Transduction et Autosurveillance Cellulaire, Universite Blaise Pascal in Aubière, have shown that tomato plants react to the damage from the relatively weak 900 MHz radiation from cell towers. The scientists believe they found an environmental factor that instantly impacts the genetic material in the tomato cells, which in turn resulted in the tomato plant cells reacting with a chemical damage sequence, involving the molecule calmodulin. The effect was described as “exactly as if we had crushed them with a hammer,” by the scientists.”

It was enough to expose a few leaves of the plant for the entire plant to react. The damage was lessened however, on the parts of the plant that were shielded from the radiation [Roux D, Vian A, Girard S, Bonnet P, Paladian F, Davies E, G Ledoigt, “High frequency (900 MHz) low amplitude (5 V/m) electromagnetic field: a genuine environmental stimulus that affects transcription, translation, calcium and energy charge in tomato”, Planta 2008; 227: 883-891].

The interesting thing about tomatoes is that they cannot cheat or be swayed by emotions or expectations

  • They have no conscience.
  • They cannot move.
  • They do not cheat the insurance company for money.
  • They are not imagining things.
  • The don’t blame their workplace problems on alleged “electrical over-sensitivity”.
  • They don’t read newspapers (they can’t fall victim for media psychosis).
  • They are instead very sensitive to their surrounding environment and are fussy when it comes to conditions for their survival.

Had the French tomato plants been able to escape, they obviously would have done so.

Gadgets, not essentials

What I discuss are basically toys — not life essentials such as clean water, clean air, food that you can eat without risk, nursing, care, love and respect. Children who do not receive these essentials will not make it. Children who do not receive wireless tablets and mobile phones will still grow up to become responsible and loving citizens – this you do not have to be worried about.

Today, various wireless devices are literally flooding our homes, schools and workplaces. And there is a lot to be concerned about. Common people are not at all sure that this radiation is harmless; they are not at all sure that wireless technology is without risk. To this we can add a massive number of studies and reports, expert opinions and statements which in summary say there is a “strong suspicion of possible damage”.

The Precautionary Principle and market-matched guidelines

sar plastic head
Our “safety” agencies ignore thousands of published studies – and use this instead

These texts also point out the urgent need to use the “Precautionary Principle” — and even more so since 2011 when the WHO has classified “radiofrequency electromagnetic fields” as a possible carcinogen (2B). So, we can immediately exclude that all of this technology is safe, since the WHO does not believe so either. (There is a classification for such exposures; “Class 4 – proven non-human-carcinogen”.) The question is: just how big is the risk, and what do we believe this risk may cost us in the form of medical care, disability and premature death.

In biomedical research, we could very quickly find that the current limits do not meet the requirements for protection of the population. The current “limits” are solely based on “acute thermal effects” and conducted in laboratories with “phantom heads”, i.e. fluid-filled plastic dummy heads.

At a meeting in London in 2008 at the venerable Royal Society (the world’s premier scientific society) professor Paolo Vecchia, head of the ICNIRP, the body that launched these recommended “limits”, said that they were never intended as medical or health safety limits.

He said what the “exposure guidelines” are not, and I quote:

“They are not mandatory prescriptions for safety”…
“They are not the last word on the issue”…
“They are not defensive walls for industry or others.”

It is a shame that the world’s radiation protection authorities, health authorities, parliaments and governments do not understand this simple and clear answer, but persist to refer to the ICNIRP technical recommendations when alleging “safety”.

Biologically adapted regulation codes are non-existent

We scientists have — since long ago — demanded biological-based regulatory codes and regulations, and I also demanded an investigation into the safe exposure limitations (i.e. actual safety guidelines). One could equally early say that “low-intensity (non-thermal) bio-effects and adverse health effects do occur at levels significantly below the existing safety limits“. And that “the current recommendations for the general population are inadequate and obsolete with respect to prolonged low-intensity exposures.”

We also demanded that the Precautionary Principle must be adopted to protect life, this foremost for our children. Should it, on the other hand, have appeared that this principle had been abundantly applied, no harm would have been made. (On the contrary, one dare not even think of the opposite scenario.) And please note, I do not suggest that food is taken from the children, nor their drinking wateror the air they breathe — only that we should be cautious in dealing with strong radiation sources.

Both the European Parliament and the Council of Europe have listened to this. In 2011, the European Council, in its Resolution No. 1815: The potential dangers of electromagnetic fields and their effect on the environment, noted the following:

“The precautionary principle should be applied when scientific evaluation does not allow the risk to be determined with sufficient certainty. Given the context of growing exposure of the population, in particular that of vulnerable groups such as young people and children, there could be extremely high human and economic costs if early warnings are neglected.”

The resolution goes on to say:

“…for children in general, and particularly in schools and classrooms, give preference to the wired Internet connections, and strictly regulate the use of mobile phones by school children on school premises.”

Various so-called “official expert reports” have been presented. These conclude that there is no cause for concern. It makes me very worried. This would mean that all the thousands of papers published on very serious side-effects of electromagnetic radiation fields — in fully accredited scientific journals — must then all be wrong. Can this be true?

Unlikely that all cautionary scientists are wrong

That 10 separate research results are wrong has a probability factor of less than 1/10,000,000,000.  That everyone is wrong has such a small probability range that we even lack an everyday math term for it — but the different “expert groups” do not pay attention to this fact. They have instead rejectedall of the science produced by all of these publishers, reviewers, and hard-working scientists.

I would welcome a public examination where each rejected publication is accounted for and explained, bit-by-bit, line-by-line, where the risk deniers show us all exactly where and in what way the scientist teams have made a mistake. (A few years ago, I asked the then respective Swedish ministers responsible to send me such a briefing, paper-by-paper. However, I received no information back, whatsoever.)

I am extremely concerned by the fact that critically-examining research rarely receives grants anymore. Since the so-called “experts” claim there is zero risk, it is reasonable to expect this claim to withstand scrutiny. In research, all roads leads to Rome – so in that case, will eventually all researchers then, including the so-called ‘ whistleblowers ‘, conclude that it is safe to live your entire life with a 24-hours-per-day, full-body radiation exposure wherever you are?

Until the scientific community comes to truth, we must be aware and vigilant. We are exposed to radiation a million billion (1,000,000,000,000,000) times (or more!) stronger than our natural background radiation. And the results published in the biomedical literature are, in many cases, extremely scary. It is obvious that bees and ants understand this and therefore flee when exposed. But why do not us humans do the same? Why do we just stay put, talking about it?

Children are the most important resource to every generation. We all have a shared responsibility to protect children. We also have an equal responsibility for all ants, bees and tomato plants — now and in the future. No one can renounce his or her personal responsibility. One cannot refer to various official reports or set up so-called “defensive walls”, and believe that this would protect from present or future moral-ethical responsibility. Never!

Every man and woman must stand up for life. If we do not, the consequences can be dire. Things are moving quickly, for it seems that bees and ants have already given up. It is serious. We need them. And we need to protect all life.

19-Year-Old Model Who Was Called 'Too Big' Responds With Honest Video

On the heels of Cara Delevingne's announcement she would be leaving the modeling industry due to its unrealistic beauty standards and hyper-sexualization of young women, Swedish model Agnes Hedengård posted a YouTube video titled “Too Big For The Industry,” displaying the kind of body agencies consider outrageously ample.

The 19-year-old model, who claims she has a BMI of 17.5, shares the reason she is no longer booking any jobs.

Hedengård says,

I have been in contact with big agencies and clients that really want to work with me but as soon as they get a hold of my measurements, it's a whole other story. They are like, 'No, she’s too big. She needs to get in better shape. We will not work with her. Woah, she’s, woah no, she’s... way too big.'

The rail-thin beauty calls the standards “absurd” and frankly, I have to agree.

Of all the times I’ve been jealous of glamorous models, this is not one of them.

Careers In Sports: The People Behind The Scenes Of Game Day Experiences

Kevin Young is the assistant director of event presentation for Miami University Athletics.

His primary duty is to create the best game day experience for Miami University fans for a number of sports, through marketing, videos, music and everything in between.

He works with student organizations on campus to help with the game day experience as well.

As a native of St. Louis, Kevin has worked with the Cardinals in Major League Baseball, George Washington University athletics and even RedBull.

Kevin was kind enough to give us his story about his background, his passion for sporting events and why he cherishes his position every day.

Here's some advice he has to offer on carving out a career in his field:

On what it takes to succeed in ticket sales:

I really try to connect our student athletes and team to our fans, whether it’s by selling tickets, fan engagement, videos, marketing or anything. That’s one thing that helped, especially in the role with the Cardinals. Growing up in St. Louis, you know that everyone is a Cardinals fan. So once we got people down to the stadium and showed them around, it was an easy sell. I was very passionate about the Cardinals and I’m passionate about what I do now. I feel like if I get talk to someone on the phone or get someone to sit down and speak with me, I can relay that passion. That’s something I enjoy doing and the passion shows when I talk to people. Even with the stuff I produce on game day, I think my passion shows through that as well. I think people appreciate that and it resonates with them.

On qualities needed to break into the industry:

In this industry it’s all about networking. As large as it seems, this industry is very small. I’ve come across a lot of great people and finding mentors along the way has helped me. Being a member of the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA) and the National Association of Collegiate Marketing Administrators (NACMA) has helped me, especially being a member of the mentoring program, as both a mentor and mentee. My first mentee just accepted an assistant director position at Virginia Tech, and my mentee from this past year just accepted a full time marketing internship at Notre Dame. Seeing them grow from when I first met them to now has been awesome. I try to give back when I can and share my knowledge. As far as networking, it’s about not being afraid to send an email to someone if you have questions about something. People will be willing to help you out, so don’t hesitate to reach out.

On skills that are vital to succeeding in event presentation for college athletics:

I work in athletic events and presentations. It’s catered around game day operations and it’s a new position. I’ll eventually bring in an intern at some point. I look for someone who is creative and is able to manage things. I think you need time management skills, as there’s a lot of stuff going on with game day operations, whether its trying to determine when is the next time-out, or what music is playing next on the video board. You always have to be three to four steps ahead, and be able to work with things on the fly in this position. Taking risks in this position is another big thing. And one last thing, you have to be able to take criticism well. As hard as you work, you have to be open to other critiques and ideas, and be willing to see things from different angles and viewpoints.

Last words of wisdom:

Working in sports is a privilege. For people who do it on a full-time basis, they understand not to take it for granted. One thing I try to do is be aware of the life we have, and how we can impact fans. We get fans in our stands and arenas for a two-hour mark. How can we make a great impact? What can we do in this time frame to make them forget about whatever stress is going on in their lives and just have fun? We have to remember we are in the entertainment business. One of the things that I really enjoy, and one of my favorite promotions I’ve done was a Special Olympics day game. When going back and reading some emails and feedback from parents, a day like that where we get the kids on the court with the athletes is something they remember forever. Creating those types of experiences is what keeps me going. I come here every day and ask myself how can we make this experience better for fans. That’s why we are here.

A post shared by KATY PERRY (@katyperry) on

The Daily Mail reports that Perry's mother made the news more clear on her Facebook, posting a gallery of photos of Bloom's proposal to Perry. She captioned them, "Look who got engaged on Valentines Day!"

The engagement comes roughly four months after a source told People that a proposal was imminent for the two. “Orlando doesn’t have a ring yet but has been talking about the future,” a source close to him told the outlet in October. “Everyone would be excited if they got engaged. Katy is wonderful!”

Perry and Bloom have dated on and off for three years and made their first red carpet appearance together in September.

Interestingly, Perry's engagement to Bloom comes after the singer told Paper magazine in an interview released last week that she didn't know if she'd ever get married again. She explained that she approaches relationships differently know than she did when she was younger.

"I'm very pragmatic and logistical and I am less fantastical about things," she said of her mentality now. "I mean, I was married when I was 25 [to Russell Brand]. I'm 34. It was almost 10 years ago. I was like, 'One person for the rest of my life,' and I'm not so sure that that idea is for me.' I'm just such a different person than I was."

Our family photo shoot with Ellie was a really fun and relaxed experience for us all.
Ellie is absolutely lovely and not only helped us adults feel comfortable in front of the camera but our little boy adored her and was instantly happy to play the show-off!
We couldn't be happier with the truly stunning photographs that Ellie created for us, she has a real talent for capturing relaxed, natural and fun shots and we will treasure ours forever.

We had a fabulous shoot with Ellie. She came to our home which made things so easy for us with a newborn baby. Not only did she produce a gorgeous selection of shots for us she also was able to give me endless information on his sleep and feeding routine due to having spent many years as a sleep trainer. So if you want a photo shoot with sleep training advise included, Ellie is your lady!

I have just received the disc of my photographs, they are fantastic! Thank you so much, I have already recommended you to a few friends who I know will love your style and relaxed nature around the children. Thank you for turning the pictures around in such a quick amount of time too.

I called on the off chance Ellie could do a photo shoot the next day as due to my dis organisation that was the only day I had left myself. She was very accommodating and re arranged her personal schedule so she could fit me in. My girls especially had a great time, there was no pressure and it flew by. I am so happy with the images that she captured, in all my time of being their mother I have never caught their personalities on camera so well. Am already planning on going back with the grandparents!

I booked a shoot as a surprise for my wife with EWP as I never appear in any of the family photos. I always feel so awkward in front of the camera and make my excuses however with Ellie I felt completely relaxed. She had us all laughing in no time and so engaged with the kids I actually forgot that usually this was my worst nightmare. The photos are beautiful and i'm pleased I finally look like part of the family!!

Thank you so much for such a wonderful photo shoot. The boys had a great time and loved the bubble session especially! We have had a few of the images made into canvasses and they look stunning in our new home. Thank you again.

Chiropractic Adjustments Can Increase Flexibility El Paso, Texas Skip to main content

Chiropractic Adjustments Can Increase Flexibility El Paso, Texas

As people grow, live their lives it becomes more and more difficult to maintain normal flexibility and losing flexibility can result in a lot of pain to the musculoskeletal system.

Unfortunately, most of us do not retain flexibility throughout the day, even when trying to be active. Many jobs are largely sedentary, and even leisure activities keep us stuck in one place. In order to remain functional, joints and muscles need to be used, which means they need to be properly stretched without being overworked. The balance is often very delicate, fortunately, you can chiropractic brings increased flexibility.

11860 Vista Del Sol, Ste. 128 How Chiropractic Increases Flexibility El Paso, Texas

The Role of Chiropractic in Flexibility

Most adults are not concerned with being able to twist like a pretzel, however, they do want to be able to maneuver through daily life without a lot of pain. One of the main things accomplished in most chiropractic visits is that the chiropractor will look for misalignments in the spine and seek to correct them with a combination of chiropractic adjustments and exercises.

Chiropractic Adjustments

When the spine is misaligned it can affect many different areas of the body including flexibility. Someone who is not flexible will have a limited range of motion (ROM) and treatments are designed to improve this and restore natural posture.

But being flexible is about more than moving better. When the body is stiff, even simple movement results in pain because it is blocked by the misalignment. When this is corrected, blood flow improves and the process of improving flexibility becomes less taxing

Nutritional Adjustments

There is more to a chiropractor's day than correcting misalignments in the spine. Chiropractic is holistic in nature and in order to be truly successful, it relies on the patient to be a cooperative participant in treatment. Giving nutritional advice is a big part of this.

While advice can vary from patient to patient, generally, when a person struggling with flexibility adds protein and fatty acids into their diet it can help joints and muscles to be properly nourished. People should also monitor their intake of processed and pre-packaged foods as these can contribute to inflammation.

Flexibility Training Exercises

Because of many factors in our lives, as well as the effects of aging, people's range of motion inevitably decreases as time goes by, especially if nothing is purposefully done to maintain it. Flexibility exercises are commonly strongly suggested by chiropractors as they strive to help their patients with the range of motion (ROM) and flexibility issues.

In many cases, such as those where someone is suffering from tendinitis or bursitis, the truly therapeutic exercises are resistive exercises. These, however, are limited, unless a higher level of flexibility is achieved.

Flexibility programs are implemented in order to make a given joint have a wider level of extensibility, which may be achieved by either traditional static stretching or Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF) techniques, which incorporates a slow reversal hold.

Working with a chiropractor on a regular basis for help in gaining flexibility can help assure that a patient moves forward at an appropriate pace that is in line with their age and fitness level. This will help them achieve a higher level of success in their chosen sport or similar activity, and/or become more productive in their daily lives while experiencing less pain.

Correct *BAD POSTURE* with Custom Orthotics | El Paso, Tx (2019)

Maintain Proper Posture

Your spine does more than keep your body upright: it’s the brain that communicates to the rest of the body. Posture even affects your emotional well-being, including self-confidence!

11860 Vista Del Sol, Ste. 128 How Chiropractic Increases Flexibility El Paso, Texas

Poor posture takes a serious toll on health. Here are a few of the negative results:
  • Muscle soreness
  • Subluxations
  • Blood vessel constriction
  • Nerve constriction
As the years go by the problems worsen, which results
  • In pain
  • Restricted motion
  • Makes the body more susceptible to injury/disease

Chiropractic care can help you maintain a healthy posture by keeping the body balanced. Additionally, custom-made orthotics are designed to help the benefits of that care last longer and better.
Maintaining proper posture involves sitting, standing, and lying down properly. Here is an excerpt from the American Chiropractic Association website on how to:

Sit properly

  • Keep your feet on the floor or on a footrest, if they can't reach the floor
  • Don't cross your legs. Your ankles should be in front of your knees
  • Keep a small gap between the back of your knees and the front of your seat.
  • Your knees should be at or below the level of your hips.
  • Read more on the ACA website.

Stand properly

  • Bear your weight primarily on the balls of your feet.
  • Keep your knees slightly bent.
  • Keep your feet about shoulder-width apart.
  • Let your arms hang naturally down the sides of the body.

Lie down properly

  • Find the mattress that is right for you. While a firm mattress is generally recommended, some people find that softer mattresses reduce their back pain. Go with your comfort
  • Sleep with a pillow. Special pillows can help with postural problems resulting from a poor sleeping position
  • Avoid sleeping on your stomach

NCBI Resources

Flexibility is a critical component of keeping your body fit and healthy. Research shows that people who are more flexible are better able to reach their optimum fitness level. It can also help to prevent injury and reduce your risk of conditions like arthritis and other chronic diseases. They also have a better range of motion and mobility as they age.

See highlights of the Friday night football games between Austin and Andress, and El Paso High and Bowie, on Sept. 28, 2018. El Paso Times

As a high school football player at Canutillo High School, Bo Brooks was one of the top safeties in the city, helping lead the Eagles to the third round of the Class 5A state football playoffs as a junior and the state semifinals as a senior.

Now the talented Brooks is making waves as a senior at NCAA Division II Missouri S&T, which competes in the Great Lakes Valley Conference. Brooks has been steady all season long — with 47 tackles tackles, 10 tackles for a loss, three pass breakups and one fumble recovery.

This year Brooks made the transition from safety to linebacker.

More: Several El Paso athletes getting attention from Division I schools

"People asked me if I played linebacker before but I hadn't," Brooks said. "The move has added another dimension to my game. It's been fun for me. There is less space to cover and I can come off the edge or drop back into coverage."

Brooks helped the Missouri S&T Miners as soon as he got there, and he has improved every year. As a freshman, he had 32 tackles and three pass breakups. As a sophomore, he collected 67 tackles, five pass breakups and a blocked kick. Then last year, he recorded 68 tackles.

"It's been a great time here at Missouri S&T. We have gotten better each year," said Brooks, who has helped the Miners earn a 4-2 record entering Saturday's game vs. William Jewell. "The school had a good reputation. I was fortunate to step in right away as a freshman and help the team. That first year helped me so much getting adjusted to the speed of the game."

The 6-foot-4 Brooks has also added 35 pounds to his frame since high school. He played at 170 during his senior year for the Eagles and now weighs 205.

He's also attracted some attention from NFL scouts because of play on the field and his speed.

"If I get the chance at the next level, I would love that opportunity," he said. "But I want to finish this year strong and help us get to the playoffs."

But Brooks is also a great student and will graduate soon with a degree in petroleum engineering.

Brooks comes from a football family. His father, Scott, is the head football coach at Canutillo and his grandfather Don Brooks was the longtime head coach at Coronado.

More: UTEP DB Nik Needham shines on the field

"I had an unfair advantage because I had two great people to learn the game from," Bo Brooks said. "I think being around them made me more coachable."

Scott Brooks said, "Our family is proud of Bo. He has worked hard and done a great job both in the classroom and in football. He has really worked so hard to get better in the sport and he has a love for the game. It's been fun to see his development as a player."

Salvadorans grade Funes' first year in office

Salvadoran president Mauricio Funes completed his first year in office today. Recent public opinion polls show that citizens of the country are generally pleased with their first president from a left wing party.

The Public Opinion Institute at the University of Central America polled more than 1200 Salvadorans in May and released their results here. Among the highlights:
  • Citizens give Funes a rating of 6.78 on a 10 point scale, down from 7.16 in August 2009.
  • 57.8% say Funes is doing a good job, while only 17.5% think he is doing a bad job.
  • 58.3% have seen positive changes in the country under Funes, while 41.7% said they had not seen an improvement

When asked about Funes' biggest achievement, more than 40% of respondents cited his program to provide free uniforms, shoes, and school supplies to school children throughout the country. Nothing else came close in the poll.

The failure to combat the crime problem was cited by 26.7% of those polled as Funes' greatest failure, with economic issues being cited as well by 10%.

53% answer that President Funes has control over governmental decisions, while 36.8% believe he is being manipulated by other sectors. When this latter group is asked to state who is manipulating Funes, 20.3% indicate the left-wing FMLN, while 19.2% indicate he is being manipulated by right-wing ARENA and 14.2% point to the rich and powerful in the country.

These IUDOP poll results are very similar to the findings of a new public opinion poll released by La Prensa Grafica. You can read the LPG poll results here.

I would be remiss if I did not point out that Tony Saca, Funes' predecessor, enjoyed similar approval ratings at this point in his administration.

Nick Loeb hits back at Sofia Vergara in row over frozen embryos

Businessman Nick Loeb has hit back at actress Sofia Vergara in the row over their frozen embryos, claiming he was "physically abused" by the Hollywood star.

The 39-year-old businessman - who was engaged to Sofia until last year - is locked in a bitter dispute with the 'Modern Family' actress over the couple's frozen embryos and in his legal complaint against the 42-year-old star, Nick has claimed she was abusive towards him.

Nick appeared on the 'Today' show to put his side of the story across, and co-host Hoda Kotb read from his complaint, saying: "She physically abused him on four separate occasions, she punched him in the face on two occasions, kicked him and threw her phone at his head.

"She also routinely bullied him, called him a loser, worthless and other degrading names."

During the show, Nick was asked if he wanted to have "a baby" or "her baby", and he replied: "It has nothing to do with her baby or a baby. Lives were already created. A lot of the questions are 'Why don't you move on and meet somebody else?'

"No doubt I would love to do that, but doesn't it matter that two lives have already been created and I wouldn't just toss aside a child that had been born."

Sofia Vergara slams Nick Loeb

Sofia Vergara has accused Nick Loeb of "taking advantage" of her career by making their dispute about frozen embryos public.

The 42-year-old actress is furious her dispute with her former fiance over the future of embryos they had frozen when they were together has been made public at the same time she is promoting her new movie 'Hot Pursuit'.

She said: "I don't think its fair.

"I've been working very hard for 20 years to get to this point where I am, enjoying my movie.

"I promote all my movies, all my work, but I don't like promoting my private life...

(Getty Images)

"I don't want to allow this person to take more advantage of my career and try to promote himself and get press for this."

And the 'Modern Family' star - who has 22-year-old son Manolo from a previous relationship and is now engaged to Joe Manganiello - thinks Nick has created "something ugly out of nothing" with his lawsuit, which was filed in August 2014, because they already had a signed document stating "no unilateral action" could be taken with the embryos unless they both agreed.

She told 'Good Morning America': "It shouldn't be out there for people to give their opinion when there's nothing to talk about.

"There's papers signed. There is a court date.

"He shouldn't be creating something so ugly out of nothing."

Meanwhile, Nick insists he isn't responsible for the leaking of the dispute.

He told 'Today': "Unfortunately, I didn't even come out with the story to begin with. It was leaked to press, there was comments made by her team in the press, and I felt I needed to come out and correct the record."

Despite US embassy attack in Turkey Feb. 1, the Turkey venture to continue

A suicide bomber set off an explosive at one of the security check points outside of the US embassy in Ankara, Turkey, killing a Turkish security guard and wounding three others Feb. 1, according to a White House press briefing. King’s has been sending international venture groups to Turkey since 2010, and despite the attack, the Turkey venture is still on for this summer. CompassCEO

“A suicide bombing on the perimeter of an embassy is, by definition, an act of terror,”  Press Secretary Jay Carney said at the briefing. The afternoon attack, which took place at approximately 1:15 p.m., prompted The White House to issue a warning for Americans to temporarily avoid diplomatic posts in Turkey and to exercise caution in crowds.

“I've been in communication with my contacts at the embassy and Turkish government, and this is not going to be something that changes the plans of the trip,” Anthony Randazzo, King's graduate and director of economic research at the Reason Foundation, said via email.

Randazzo once lived in Turkey and now works closely with the Turkey venture.

According to Randazzo, early information suggests the terrorist group was known and has been threatening toward the US military presence in the Middle East without attacking. He added that the incident was "very sad" but will not endanger or deter the Turkey venture team.

The 40-year old bomber, Ecevit Sanli, was identified as a member of the Revolutionary People’s Liberation Party, a leftist organization responsible for various attacks and assassinations since the 1970s, the Washington Post reported.

The attack on Friday dredged up recent and vivid memories of the September 2012 attack on the US Consulate in Benghazi, Libya, which took the lives of four Americans, including the US ambassador, Chris Stevens.

“We have an excellent tracking system where we’re learning what’s going on around the world when it comes to crises so that we’re able to respond to it right away,” Elijah McCready, The King’s College Global Engagement coordinator, said.

Although Press Secretary Carney condemned the attack, during the press briefing he said, “Turkey remains one of our strongest partners in the region, a NATO ally. We have worked shoulder to shoulder with the Turks to counter terror threats and this will only strengthen our resolve.”

McCready explained that the goal of the venture trip is for students at The King’s College to build a partnership with rising leaders in Turkey. This goes hand in hand with the mission of The King’s College which “seeks to transform society by preparing students for careers in which they help to shape and eventually to lead strategic public and private institutions.”

On the Turkey venture, students attend a five-day business conference where they discuss business ethics, Turkish-American trade, and commerce with students from top private universities in Turkey who are among the wealthiest, most connected and most likely to rise to leadership positions.

This past January, The King's College hosted its first conference for the Turkish students.

“I think it’s neat to be sharing ideas with the students in Turkey and hear their thoughts on capitalism, democracy, Islam and other things,”  Nicole Rosales (’15, Business Major), said. Rosales went on the international venture to Turkey in 2012 and plans to return this summer.

94% believe employers should set aside a budget for financial education

More than nine in 10 (94%) respondents think their employer should set aside a budget to provide financial education for staff, according to research by Lemonade Reward.

Its survey of 83 HR and reward employees also found that almost two-thirds (61%) of respondents cite not having enough money to live on in retirement as a key financial concern.

The research also found:

  • 41% of respondents worry about not being able to save on a regular basis, 42% are concerned about having enough savings to fall back on, and 28% identify the inability to get on the property ladder as a key financial concern.
  • 13% of respondents cite growing debt as a key financial concern, and 24% worry about not having enough money to live on each month.
  • Just 1% of respondents would currently turn to their employer for financial advice, with many preferring to use websites, ask family or friends or speak to their bank.
  • 83% of respondents cannot access financial advisors because of the associated costs.
  • 46% of respondents endeavour to review their financial health on a quarterly or monthly basis, and 36% prefer to look at their financial health once or twice a year.
  • 18% of respondents do not bother to review their financial health.

David Pugh, managing partner at Lemonade Reward, said: “The need for employers to provide financial education has never been greater. Respondents tell us they favour face to face and online/digital support, something that can easily be delivered in the workplace.

“This survey shows financial education is a necessity rather than a perk and I urge bosses to include this vital tool within their employee benefits armoury. Only then will [employees] have the time and inclination to take control of their finances and address their concerns.”

New Zealand government launches taskforce to review Holiday Act

New Zealand holiday

The New Zealand government has established a taskforce of employer, employee and government representatives to review the Holidays Act 2003 and ensure it is fit for purpose for modern workplace practices.

The government-commissioned working group will focus on reviewing the legislation around the provision and payment of holiday and leave entitlements under the Holidays Act 2003, particularly exploring whether existing legislation is suitable to apply to today’s varied work patterns and pay arrangements, as well as whether the Holidays Act 2003 is effective for employers to implement and action.

The working group, which will be chaired by Gordon Anderson, a law professor at Victoria University, may also consider other related issues that arise as a result of the review.

The working group will offer its recommendations to government after 12 months, to provide proposals for a clear and transparent set of rules for providing entitlements to, and payments for, holidays and leave that can be readily implemented in a payroll system and is applicable to a diverse range of working and pay arrangements.

The Holidays Act 2003 provides minimum entitlements to annual holidays, public holidays and sick and bereavement leave in order to promote work-life balance for employees.

Systemic compliance issues regarding the Act were reported in 2012, which led to a large number of employees not receiving their correct entitlement of leave. This was attributed to how the Act was implemented within payroll systems as well as the structure of the Act itself.

Iain Lees-Galloway, workplace relations and safety minister, said: “There’s been enormous change in our labour market over the past 15 years and it’s clear we need to look at the Holidays Act with a fresh pair of eyes and ensure it is fit for modern workplaces and new working arrangements.

“We need law that provides certainty to both employers and employees so that employees receive their correct entitlements. The legislation needs to be straightforward and simple to implement, and deliver fair rest and entitlement for [employees].

“With an increasing variety of work patterns and pay arrangements, the legislative requirements of the Act are proving difficult and costly for employers to apply and employees are not receiving their full entitlements.

“The time is now right to directly address the underlying issues with the Act. I’ve been approached by [advocacy group] Business NZ and the Council of Trade Unions to help tackle this vexed and complex set of issues and I’m excited about the work we have ahead of us.”

Welcoming The Era Of Food Truck And Food Container

10:31 AM
Today, we often meet the new style of eatery that use the Food Truck or Container. This is because of the high rent price on some commercial area in the big city. And usually there are no many places at the central city that can be rent.

But, how come? Are there is can be done? Or this concept would be very crowded? You can see many food truck and food container at Surabaya that located on Graha Fairground, Graha Famili at the West Surabaya.

Welcoming The Era Of Food Truck And Food Container

Actually, there are some new sensation and some fun if you having diner at the Container Food concept. There it is:

Drive Thru

Formerly, only the multinational restaurant that can be order via drive thru. With the Food Truck or Container, customer may order without leaving the place (make sure that the store isn't at crowded condition). But, maybe it would be difficult for cars.

No Need to Wasting Time for Searching Park Place

Because of open place concept, so i never encounter for parking trouble for buying meal from Food Truck or Container, except for the place that customer must park their ride first, like Graha Fairground place.

Have a Diner at Outdoor

Eating at the outdoor usually identical with "eating at small depot on street side". But, with this Food Truck and Container concept, eating at big restaurant with outdoor space concept is very possible. But remember, this is only can possible if not rain.

Many choices and easier do comparing

It would be hard things for comparing one restaurant to another if we already enters the tenant and asking for the menu. Besides wasting of time, and is not ethical things if we enters the restaurant only for asking the price.

With this simple concept, the customer might see the price directly at the menu board and judge their choice without asking to the employee. This is make the waiter's job desk, so they can focus at their job.

Usually if we found one food truck or container, it might be another food truck or container.

Saving Cost

Compared to renting or owning a building, the food truck and container concept is much smaller cost. The most difference is the rent and maintenance fee. Without building, they have no any obligation to pay yearly building tax.

Hmm, it's sounds interesting isn't it? The examples of brands that use this concept in Indonesia is : Markobar, Quick Chicken, Kebab Turki, Container Kebab, Chatime, Burger Shot, and many more.

Fullsteam ahead for Castle to Coast, ‘the UK’s only sportive triathlon’

Endurance events company, Fullsteam has launched Castle to Coast, billed as the UK’s only sportive triathlon, which will take place between Windsor and Brighton on Saturday 10th August 2019.

The event’s non-competitive format is ‘designed to break away from the obsession with time and racing, instead providing a relaxed, inclusive event that focuses on the adventure of the swim, bike and run.’

The Castle to Coast challenge, limited to 500 participants for the inaugural event, includes a 1.2 mile swim at Eton Dorney lake near Windsor followed by a 67 mile open road ride through the picturesque but testing Surrey Hills and a 13.2 mile run up Ditchling Beacon and over the South Downs.

Lee Brown, Director and Founder of Fullsteam said “In 2019 we wanted to create something new in the world of triathlon. Castle to Coast’s sportive format will appeal to those looking to step up to a middle-distance triathlon without the pressures of racing and beating the clock.”

Triathletes can enter from £150 via www.fullste.am, and will receive a finisher’s medal, tech event t-shirt and free race photography. A team option is also available from £190 for three team members. Here, each member will tackle one leg and own transport will be required to complete the partly self-supported challenge to Brighton.

The point to point nature of the event means that Fullsteam will be providing the opportunity for all entrants and their kit to be transported back to Windsor at the end of their challenge. Alternatively, bike and kit will be waiting at the finish line for all those departing directly from Brighton.

The start of the swim is a short walk from the event village and transition area at Eton Dorney. At 08:00 on Saturday 10th August swimmers will start in the water, in waves, and complete a 1.2 mile continuous lap, exiting at the far end of the lake for transition. In an effort to reduce stress, entrants will be allowed to start at any time within a ten minute start window.

The 67 mile ride is supported with a feed station, toilet facilities, mechanical assistance and marshals at key locations. Over 3,400ft of climbing awaits as the route takes riders through historic Eton town centre before taking in the Surrey Hills, an area of outstanding natural beauty featuring challenging climbs.

On completion of the bike stage, in the village of Hassocks, entrants will hand over their bike to the transport team who will transport it to the finish line in Brighton or back to the start in Windsor. Run bags and changing facilities will be waiting inside Hassocks Sports Centre before entrants head out onto the South Downs towards Brighton.

The 13.2 mile run section, traverses over 90% of fully marked trails. It has a challenging start by taking entrants onto the South Downs Way and to the top of Ditchling Beacon. From Ditchling Beacon the route slowly descends through the countryside to Brighton.

A finish line party awaits on Brighton seafront where all finishers will receive their medal, finishers t-shirt and samples of Fullsteam’s new Recoverystak rapid post workout recovery drink. Free photography will be available via Fullsteam’s Facebook page in the week after the event.

Kit bags and bikes will be ready to collect for all those departing directly from Brighton. For all those heading back to Windsor the Fullsteam support staff will be on hand to take entrants to the organised transport.

  • Solo entrant, bike/kit delivered to Brighton: £150
  • Solo entrant, including return transport to Eton: £165
  • Team Relay (x1 swimmer, x1 cyclist & x1 runner): all three finish in Brighton: £190
  • Prices are fixed until 30th June. Thereafter, Castle to Coast pricing increases by £10 on the first of each month.

Starting the year: Dan Bensky in Barcelona

This is a great start!!
This 2017 starts very promising, and we, the Engaging Vitality folks in Europe can confirm it!
Barcelona has the honour to kick start this year welcoming Dan Bensky for 2 seminars in a row.
First, in Jan. 26th & 27th, we’ll have for the first time in Europe an intermediate level class M5: The eight listening post: Cranium and the Cranial Sutures.
This class will be focusing on the eight listening post, the one that we didn’t touch during the basic training in Modules 1,2&3, that is: the Cranium. This training will move one step forward our palpatory skills, refining the quality of our touch and both our anatomical and energetic understanding of one of the most delicate areas. Different frameworks and ideas will be laid out in order to expand our previous knowledge on the energetic dynamics and how to approach them for a more effective clinical work.

This class will also be unique since the teaching assistant will be Charles Chace, coming all the way from Boulder, Colorado to this special occasion.

We will have the chance to enjoy Charles classes again at the end of march, when he’ll be coming again to teach the 3rd and final module of the basic training for Engaging Vitality.

This very special gathering will take place at the ESMTC, in Barcelona. The Fundación Europea de Medicina Tradicional China is hosting this event and giving us all in the field a chance to expand our horizons.

But this is not all, Dan will be staying in Barcelona for 2 more days. In Jan. 28th & 29th he’ll be teaching the 2nd module of the basic training, introducing interesting topics as Global Listening, Channel Listening, and refining needling technique. And of course, he’ll review all the techniques we have learned in Module 1: Shape of Qi, Manual Thermal Evaluation, Yang Rhythm, Local listening…

We will have a treat for the veterans (M5) and a treat for the newbie (M2)… what else could we ask to start a year? …

So, welcome 2017 and welcome Dan Bensky to Barcelona!

'Cake Queen' celebrates the sweet life through edible art

It is never too late to build a career using your personal interest. Be inspired by this story of CCA alumni and cake artist Chef Carol Tentativa-Lavin.
By Press Release |

Award-winning cake artist Chef Carol Tentativa-Lavin may have started her path to a culinary career late in life, but her love for desserts began as a child. Inspired and awed by her mom’s cakes and pastries which graced special family occasions, Chef Carol knew her interest in baking will always play a nurturing role in her future endeavors.

Even when she started her own family and became a mother, Chef Carol, then working as a bank employee in Makati, never outgrew her passion and enthusiasm for baking. She continued it as a hobby and as a side job. It was at this time when she thought of taking formal training to further harness her artistic skills in cake and pastry making.

“Though I was self-taught, my husband and I felt that I need to explore more about baking, and earn a degree,” she revealed.

After leaving her full-time corporate job, Chef Carol followed her passion -- one that would allow her to combine her love for art and baking. She enrolled at the Center for Culinary Arts (CCA, Manila) where she earned a Diploma in Baking and Pastry Arts and Technology Management.

No cake walk

Taking the brilliant start towards her culinary journey at CCA, Manila proved to be challenging at first, as she painstakingly juggled studies and motherhood responsibilities. But she proved that both can be balanced with smart determination, discipline and time management.

Chef Carol’s clear vision to achieve her goals eventually paid off, with award-winning cake designs forever cementing her fate and career in the industry. She has won titles in inter-school contests, as well as in national exhibitions and international cake shows as a student. Her most memorable triumphs include her first win at the 2004 Chefs on Parade where she got a gold medal; the 2007 Bakery Fair (gold medal); 2008 Fondant Cake Decorating Contest in Atlantic City (silver); Dress the Cake category at FHA Singapore (bronze) and 2010 World Food Exposition (bronze).

While winning is a primary motivation, Chef Carol said that the greatest accolade is really the life lessons that you gain from every competition.“CCA fueled my hunger for knowledge and relentless zeal to show off what I am capable of doing. I also learned humility, as well as the importance of being prepared in all aspects, whether at work or personally,” she stressed. “I love competing, because you learn a lot from each competition. Even if you don’t bag the grand prize, you gain a lot from experience. You give and earn respect for one another’s art.”

Her most recent cake competition was at the Toronto Culinary Salon 2015 where she won a special diploma for her wedding cake masterpiece. Sponsored by leading home kitchen appliance brand, KitchenAid, the passionate artist executed a well-detailed design efficiently using its versatile product.

“We used the heavy-duty KitchenAid Mixer for mixing our icings and the pasta maker attachment for the gumpaste. Instead of rolling it manually, the attachment helped us a lot to save our time for making small sheets in our decorations,” she said.

Labor of love

Working on a variety of mediums for her amazing creations, Chef Carol’s cake artist’s philosophy is all about “being patient, down-to-earth, and keeping the designs’ personal while maintaining the aesthetics of the cake designer.”

“I always aim for ‘detailed’ perfection, meaning the cake must be good from inside out. I do so by always putting my mind and heart into it,” Chef Carol said.

Through the years, Chef Carol has rightfully earned her distinction as one of the country’s top her cake designers. She currently runs her own business, Chef Carol Patisserie. She is also an American Culinary Federation (ACF) Certified Culinary Educator (CCE).And as an icing on the cake, her career is made sweeter by her current post as full-time chef instructor handling baking and pastry art subjects at CCA, Manila. Mentoring future generations of cake designers and eventually seeing them have successful careers of their own is another fulfillment that Chef Carol is very proud and grateful for.

For inquiries on the diploma or short courses, call CCA, Manila at 218-8566 or e-mail: [email protected]">[email protected] . Visit  The main campus is located at 287 Katipunan Ave., Loyola Heights, QC. Application is ongoing.
