Twisting the weight away

About the author:

Twisting the weight away image

Most weight-loss regimes require punishing exercise at the gym, but a few simple yoga moves can reduce body fat, help you burn fuel better and regulate your blood sugar, says yoga expert Charlotte Watts

As yoga is relatively cheap and accessible to all, researchers are starting to pay more attention to it as a way to achieve both fitness and weight loss. In fact, new evidence shows that, with long-term regular practice, yoga can help you lose weight by lowering your waist-to-hip ratio and body-fat levels, help with better appetite control and stabilize your posture.

And it's an exercise that's available to just about everyone. One study of men with type 2 diabetes, which described yoga as a "slow, static type of muscular exercise", noted that it can be performed even by patients with "limited joint mobility [and] physical unfitness associated with overweight and sedentary lifestyles".

But yoga is not a poor relation to a hard workout at the gym. Opting for yoga, with its quality-over-quantity approach to exercise, will have far-reaching consequences for the mechanisms that affect how we deal with fat and whether we store it or burn it for fuel.

A recent Dutch review of the yoga research to date, citing 37 randomized controlled trials and 32 pooled analyses, reported that regular and sustained yoga practice can improve not only body weight and body mass index (BMI), but also the heart-disease risk factors associated with weight gain, such as cholesterol levels and ratios, triglycerides (fats in the blood), blood pressure and heart rate.

The above-mentioned diabetes study showed that daily early-morning yoga sessions on an empty stomach for six months reduced blood glucose levels significantly in 30 diabetic men aged 36 to 55.2

Weight loss is not simply about engaging in punishing exercise to burn calories; in fact, exercising to the point of stress can actually hinder losing pounds, as it keeps levels of the stress hormone cortisol up, so signalling our bodies to lay down fat around the middle. As this fat is 'white fat', the static kind for storage rather than fuel-burning, it can remain hard to shift.

If we see yoga as simply an exercise regimen and approach it as 'the more power the better', we can both lose sight of the aim of yoga itself, and not benefit from the more subtle and transformative effects of its well-rounded practice.
Our state of health and weight management are determined to a great extent by what we put into our bodies and how much we move around, and also by how efficiently our body systems and metabolic processes are working. Our entire being needs both activity and rest, stimulation and recharging.

Appetite levels, food choices, energy and sleep patterns can all be affected by the poor posture, high stress levels and disordered breathing patterns that yoga helps to address. These are states that may be forgotten as underlying causes of faulty digestion/detoxification, and blood sugar imbalances and addictive patterns, all of which can contribute to ill health and weight gain.

We also practise yoga to help tone postural muscles and those involved in breathing; in both cases the abdomen is involved, as it supports our whole bodily structure and its functions. Moving and compressing the digestive organs helps improve their function and elimination of toxins, the tendency to bloating and efficient assimilation of energy from the food we eat, so reducing the need to consume more than is necessary.

Better posture and breathing also helps our metabolic rate and fat-burning capacity when exercising. Add in the proven stress-reducing effects of yoga, and we have a recipe for muscle strengthening and weight loss.

Mind-body effects

Yoga is not simply a physical practice, as reconnecting with our bodies through our breath helps to foster the integral sense of self that leads to positive changes in body relationships. The practice needs to be steady and regular to see benefits-little and often can have better effects than one intense class a week.

As we may be used to damping down overwhelming emotions and reactions with food and particularly sugar and junk fats, training ourselves to relax into such feelings and accept that they come and go has been found to affect food choices, and to reduce mindless eating and giving in to cravings.

In one study, 15,550 long-term yoga practitioners were shown to have lower-than-average weight gains over 10 years. Although the study doesn't draw any definitive conclusions, one theory is that this is because the inherent mindfulness from an attentive practice like yoga trains us to have a non-judgmental awareness of thoughts, feelings and bodily sensations from moment to moment, and the practice of getting into the various positions trains us to relax into strong physical (and emotional) sensations.

This, in turn, helps us to become more attuned and non-reactive to the discomfort of cravings and able to resist giving in to them. Indeed, one study of obese women showed that two classes of yoga a week helped to improve food cravings and body image.

Good stress for fat-burning

Yoga postures are essentially positions into which we wouldn't normally place our bones, muscles and joints in everyday life, and represents a 'good stress' challenge for us physically, evoking a positive response in circulation, muscle strength, release and length, hormonal balance and oxygenation through the breath. As yoga includes attention to breathing and focusing on the present moment, it helps to reduce stress responses and increases the resilience that encourages us to maintain good habits. It has also been shown to help alleviate insomnia, sleep issues, depression and lower back pain-all known barriers to weight loss.

Physical and postural integrity
The routine described over the page is designed to move through your whole body. The slow release of muscles allows a loosening in those that have become tight with stress, tension and either inactivity or stressful activity-and makes your body respond to any physical activity in a more positive way. You'll feel more fluid and simply want to move around more.

This practice helps to correct any postural problems that may have resulted from weight gain, while encouraging the joint movements that allow flexibility and the building up of strength.

Yoga opens up the whole body, lengthening muscles to make them longer and leaner rather than shorter and bulkier-it's well known that lean muscle is more efficient.

Leading with the breath

We live in a society where we are continually faced with stimuli that excite our nervous systems and push us towards more shallow and fast breathing. As you move through the postures over the page, stay conscious of breathing deeply and fully to help your nervous system come down from 'constant alert'.

Notice when you might be holding your breath-for instance, if you require considerable effort or you're concentrating-and resettle it by taking a deep inhalation through the nose and exhaling deeply, or even sighing out if you need to.

Regulating breathing increases the flow of oxygen in the body so that chemical reactions can happen faster, and you burn fuel as calories at a higher rate. More oxygen in the blood means the pancreas needs to produce less insulin to transport sugar efficiently into cells. As insulin can make us store fat, calmer breathing helps with both blood sugar levels and our tendency to gain weight in the long run.

Full-capacity breathing is required to move the body's lymphatic system and allow complete detoxification. Holding on to toxins can contribute to bloating, cravings and constipation.
Yoga postures for weight loss

There are three key weight-loss elements in this practice:

1 Loosening and toning
Yoga supports weight management by helping to normalize blood sugar levels and sluggish thyroid, liver and adrenal function. Such a practice, which focuses on forward bends, back arches and twists, stimulates the whole endocrine (hormonal) system and massages your internal organs to increase their circulation and function, as well as loosening and toning the muscles around the waist and abdomen.

2 Strength training
Stronger yoga postures can be classified as lightweight strength-training exercises, known to be among the best ways to increase muscle tone, but also the 'exercise after-burn' of calories, or 'excess post-exercise oxygen consumption' (EPOC). This is the amount of calories you burn after your workout, which is determined by the amount of muscle tone in your body. Lightweight training like yoga can raise your resting metabolic rate (RMR) for longer periods and help weight loss through increased metabolic efficiency.

3 Restorative practice to end
A calming, meditative-type of concluding exercise helps bring down stress hormones, especially cortisol, which we release in response to long-term stress. High levels of cortisol tend to make us lay down fat around the waist, and they also affect sleep; disrupted sleep patterns can affect weight by increasing appetite in an attempt to take on more fuel to make up for tiredness.

Much of our overeating and cravings come from stress and tension, so a calming practice helps to reduce excess food intakes and the worry it causes in turn. Restorative yoga, where we support the body fully with props to allow a sense of being 'held', has proved to be an effective weight-loss component in a fully rounded practice.9 Calming your nervous system and bringing your body into balance also helps you become more connected and intuitive, so quick-fixes like sugar and stimulants will begin to seem less appealing and more like the energy drainers they really are.

Sukhasana variation

(Seated side stretch)
Sitting on a block or blankets, spend a few moments settling into the uplift of your breath through your spine, then open your arms out to the side, relax your shoulders and, on an exhalation, drop one hand to the ground to open up the other side of the body. Inhale back to centre and repeat on the other side, following this breathing pattern from side to side.

Vajrasana variation

(Seated back arch)
Sit on your shins with knees together, putting a cushion between your heels and bottom if necessary. Reaching out with your hands behind you, rotate both your arms out to lift up through the chest and lengthen at the waist. Keep the back and sides of the neck long to support the head, and squeeze the area between the shoulder blades together to open your heart area.

Adho Mukha Svanasana

(Downward-facing dog)
From a table position on all fours, fingers spread out with middle fingers parallel, exhale as you straighten your legs to lift your bottom towards the ceiling, heels up and knees slightly bent to start with.

Push back from the base of the index fingers to move the tops of the thighs back and lift the sitting bones, lengthening the sides of your body and opening your chest.

Explore and move in the pose to open up the backs of the legs, and allow the heels to move back and down to the floor.

Ashva Sanchalanasana

(Horse-riding or equestrian pose)
From downward-facing dog, step the right foot between the hands while inhaling and, on the exhale, gather in the right hip and draw the knee into the chest and forward; come to all fours and move the back foot forward if need be. Have the feet placed parallel to the sides of the mat and a hip-width apart. Come up onto the fingertips to lift up through the chest and lengthen all the way from the heel of the back foot to the crown of the head. These lunge poses can be practised with the knee down too, supported by a blanket if necessary.

Parivrtta Anjaneyasana 1

(Twisted crescent pose)
Keeping the back heel pointing up to the sky, lift the left arm to rotate the belly upwards, while the left thigh keeps facing inwards. Bring the right hand onto a block if you need more height. Come back through Ashva Sanchalanasana (equestrian pose).

Parivrtta Anjaneyasana 2

(Twisted crescent pose)
Keeping the left fingers on the floor (or on a block if needed), this time turn the belly to the right, keeping good ground contact with the ball of the right big toe to stabilize the right thigh. Lengthen the back and sides of the neck. From the horse-riding pose, come back to Adho Mukha Svanasana (downward-facing dog) and repeat with the left leg forward.

(Crescent pose)
From downward-facing dog, step
the right foot between hands as before, this time dropping the back knee. With feet a hip-width apart and parallel to the sides of your mat, lift up from the hips to raise your arms, opening them out as wide as you need to release shoulders. Draw your belly in and up to protect your lower back.

Adho Mukha Svanasana

(Downward-facing dog pose)
Repeat as before, then move left foot forward into Anjaneyasana and back to downward-facing dog.

(Side angle pose)
Stepping your right foot forward, turn the left foot to a 45-degree angle and come up, keeping the right thigh parallel
to the sides of the mat and right knee pointing in the direction of the foot. Bring the right elbow onto the right thigh and lift the left arm up-and if you can, keep opening the belly and chest towards the ceiling, and even try dropping the right hand to the floor or on blocks. Breathe to reach back to the outer left foot. Come up, turn the feet to the other side and reach towards the left.

Prasarita Padottanasana

(Spread-out-feet intense stretch pose)
Turn heels out so the outer edges of both feet are parallel to each other (to protect the knees). With hands on hips, bend forward while reaching your hands down your shins and release your head. Create a strong foundation to lift the inner legs from the feet by pressing down at the base of the big toes and lifting the insteps.

Parivrtta Prasarita Padottanasana

(Revolved spread-out-feet intense stretch pose)
Release hands and lift the chest to bring the right hand to the middle of the floor under your shoulders or up onto blocks to give you the height to lengthen the front spine. Shift hips a bit to the left and twist your belly to the left and up. Lift the left arm-but if this compresses the shoulder, bring it onto the left hip-and open up the collarbones.

Adho Mukha Svanasana

(Downward-facing dog pose)
Repeat as before.

(Child pose over bolster)
Drop down to your knees, bringing the big toes together, and open the knees wide enough to place a bolster between thighs without lifting the bottom. Walk your hands forward to drop the upper body down onto the bolster, taking your head to one side and then the other. Breathe to bring a feeling of heaviness and release to your whole body.

Supta Matsyendrasana variation

(Spinal twist over bolster)
Sit with your right hip in line with the bolster. Bend the right foot in towards its own thigh and the left out towards the left hip, so you're sitting to the side. Inhale to lift up through the spine, then twist from the belly and exhale your front body onto the bolster. Turn your head in the direction of your legs, or in the opposite direction if it doesn't strain the neck.

(Corpse pose with belly focus)
Lie down with the head supported (if it feels like it's falling backwards) and with legs as wide as your lower back needs to feel comfortable. Place your hands on your belly and focus your attention on the breath, creating movement and flow there. Stay meditating on this deep body connection for at least three minutes, then turn to one side before coming up slowly and consciously to finish.

In the Know

2 years ago by

Have you ever wondered what a day in a life is like for a fashion editor during New York Fashion Week? It’s busy, to say the least. Our resident keeper of all things style (and boob tape) takes us through a typical NYFW day…

7:30am: Time to get up! Full disclosure… I’m a little hungover. For some reason despite my best intentions, fashion week days always end with a martini (or two) and I can’t hold my drink like I used to. Luckily my first show doesn’t start until 10am today so I have a little more time at home to pull myself together.

8am: Second coffee of the morning in hand, it’s time to get dressed. The weather never seems to cooperate during fashion week, so I’m used to rolling with the punches by now. Today is weirdly humid and rainy, lovely! I tend to dress pretty simply and today is no exception. Jeans, a lightweight trench, a carryall bag and comfortable shoes. Done! At least having a uniform makes it easy for me to get ready.

9:15am: I stuff everything I could possibly need for the day in a Cuyana bag (my favorite at the moment is the Trapeze Satchel), pop in my headphones and rush out the door.

10:15am: Of course, I left a little bit too late (blame the martinis), so the subway ride from Brooklyn to the Upper West Side was making me nervous. Luckily fashion shows never really start on time (about 20 minutes late is standard), so I make it into my seat with a few minutes to spare.

It might seem strange that I still like to go to fashion shows since everything pops up on Instagram a few minutes later, but there is something about being there in person that I still think is hard to replace. I love absorbing the atmosphere of a show, and also checking out the crowd and what they’re wearing. Staying in tune with what’s happening in the fashion world, even subconsciously, makes me better at my job.

10:50am: Finish my first show uptown and I have just enough time to run back to our office on Bowery and answer some emails before my 12pm. Charge my phone quickly (I bring my mophie around but I still never have enough juice), check my to-do list for any little tasks I can get done, reapply some lip balm and run out the door.

12pm: I have a meeting with a buyer who’s in town for the shows. We have tea at the Bowery Hotel, which is conveniently near our office. I usually carry a notebook with me for these kinds of meetings, you never know!

1:15pm: Another show! Again, I’m 15 minutes late but still make it into my seat on time. I’m seated next to my best friend, Rachel (you might remember her from here, here and here). Lucky me! The fashion industry seems big from the outside but once you’re inside it feels tiny.

1:45pm: Rachel and I both have appointments but we’re starving, so we take a quick break to eat lunch together. Usually I bring snacks with me but today I forgot! Damn those martinis. She catches me up on work and the new guy she’s been seeing. One of the best parts about fashion week is getting to see my friends!

2:30pm: Arrive at my next appointment. This one is with a shoe designer. I was an accessories editor for a couple of years and covering the shoe market is still secretly one of my favorite things to do. There are tons of rising designers in the market right now, a lot to be excited about! Like I said, I’m one of those girls who wears the same outfit every day, but I will shell out for a new pair of shoes no problem. She shows me the goods, I take pictures, and then I’m on my way!

3:25pm: I’m even more late for my next show (I made a rookie mistake and took a taxi instead of the subway) but I still didn’t miss it! It’s a good day for me. I always bring paper invites with me but no one ever checks them. I should probably stop. They’re showing this collection on a rooftop and it’s raining. C’est la vie! People hand out ponchos and clear umbrellas and we watch fashion in the rain.

4pm: I’m working on a shoot for the site tomorrow, so I need to make a quick pit stop to pull some extra clothes. I pick out what I need, jump in a cab and head back to the office.

4:30pm: Hey guys, remember me! My officemates haven’t seen me in a while since I’ve been out at shows. I miss them! I drop off the clothes for my shoot and get settled at my desk for a minute. Emails, tasks, the usual. I have to run out again soon so I touch up my makeup and catch up with the girls.

5:30pm: Veronica and I have an editorial touch base on the calendar. She’s been out taking meetings as well, so I meet her at a restaurant nearby (the perks of working in Nolita). I have a few more fashion week events to swing by tonight, so I decide to leave my Trapeze Satchel at the office and just bring out Cuyana’s Work Clutch for the evening. As I leave the office I promise myself that I will resist the martinis tonight.

9:30pm: Phew, I’m home! And I resisted! It’s good that I just stuck to water because I still have a ton of work to do. I make some tea and a snack, cozy up with my laptop, and get working.

Chief Executive Officer’s response – EUAC advice note on APP fraud

 Thank you for the advice note that you sent me in January 2020.  The purpose of the End User Advisory Council (EUAC) is to provide advice and challenge into Pay.UK work from an end-user perspective.  Given the importance of the issue of APP fraud and the industry’s response to this crime, it is helpful to me and the Pay.UK Board to have the EUAC’s comments and concerns on this issue clearly documented. I have set out some observations in response below and go on to explain how I intend to use your advice as part of our next steps on this general area of work.

APP Fraud CRM Code

Firstly, I want to reinforce that Pay.UK is also supportive of the CRM Code and of the protections the Code offers to consumers, including customers receiving reimbursement in cases of APP Scams where the customer has met their requisite level of care.  As you know we have also set out in public our support for the code as well as some of the steps we think should be taken to support the adoption and effectiveness of the code (see below).

CRM Fee Change Request

Considering the CRM Fee change request was a significant undertaking for Pay.UK.  I share your disappointment that the proposal made to us was not found, for a variety of reasons, to be an appropriate long term solution to funding “no-blame reimbursement”. Despite this, it is my view that the public process that we ran to assess the proposal has helped clarify a number of key issues in this area.  In general, I also think that making our findings public on issues such as this provides the opportunity to help progress thinking and discussion.

For example responses to our public Call for Information did, encouragingly, show that the vast majority of PSPs support providing reimbursement to customers in cases of “no-blame”.  In addition, our work has shown that the current “no blame” funding model – whereby code signatories pay in to a central pot to pay for cases of “no blame” APP fraud – doesn’t have universal support from all PSPs which is blocking uptake of the code.

It therefore seems to Pay.UK that, in the absence of regulatory intervention to mandate the code, finding a flexible funding model that more PSPs can support will be important to further increase uptake in the voluntary code.  In the longer term, we have explained our view that we consider the introduction of legislation to underpin the Code and protect the interests of victims of fraud is the best way to help deliver a consistent solution for consumers across all payment systems.  I understand that you are supportive of this view.

Related work

Following our decision on the CRM Fee change request we have been engaged with UK Finance and our Participants Engagement Forum (PEF) to consider wider work in  the consumer protections  space.   We will be presenting to your  March  meeting  some  research  we  have undertaken in this area, together with a scope of work for a feasibility study on the potential to use Pay.UK rules to build confidence in the use of our payment systems.  In developing this scope of work we have been mindful of your concern that the industry could use Pay.UK work in this area to delay further improvements or recruitment to the CRM Code.

We think it is important that our activities, those of UK Finance and policy makers (regulators and government) are strongly co-ordinated in this area.  If the scope of work for our research and policy project is endorsed by both the EUAC and our PEF, we plan to write to UK Finance to confirm  support  for  this  project  and  agree  with  UK  Finance  a joint  approach  to  updating regulators and government of our respective work in this area.  We would expect to reference you r advice note in those communications.

I hope this response is useful.  My team will continue to apprise the EUAC of developments in this area and I would be happy to discuss the detail further at future meetings.  I am sharing your advice note and this response with the Pay.UK Board.

Click and Stick Pushpins

I am notorious for misplacing my pushpins, not to mention repeatedly stabbing myself with the pointy ends so this new product, the Click and Stick is a “push pen,” for lack of a better term. Load in a stack of thumb tacks and then slide to push the tack into the bulletin board.

  1. Isn’t it nifty? As a professional organizer, I already spend my day collecting paper cuts as if they were state quarters (yes, sigh, people DO still do that), and as a person with diabetes, I already have to intentionally poke my fingers multiple times each day to test my blood sugar. Reaching into a drawer to find a pushpin without stabbing myself almost seemed like a pipe dream, so this new Quirky product is really a delight. I knew you’d think so, too.

I recently purchased a 2001 2800 Martinique cruiser. I want to remove the batteries for winter storage. How do I close the electric engine hatch once I remove the batteries from the engine compartment? One the other hand If the batteries die with the hatch closed how do I open it?

For more information on Monarchs in Utah contact Rachel Taylor at rtaylor@grnslc.com

August 1, 2020 - After a strong and early start to our monarch breeding season, we have settled into what feels like “the new normal” level of monarch breeding activity in the northern half of the state, with the southern part of the state fairly quiet.  We have had confirmed reports of monarchs as far south as Capital Reef and north to Cache Valley; and from EskDale on the west to the Green River on the east.

Lehi – Offering activities in monarch/milkweed conservation

  • Facebook

This spring, the city of Cedar Hills became the first city/town in Utah to achieve the designation of Monarch City, USA, thanks to the efforts of Anette Stephens.

She also has an official registered Monarch Waystation;   the schoolkids in Cedar Hills Elementary planted a monarch waystation, which is already attracting monarchs who are laying eggs!

The first ever Western Monarch Summit was held in Carmel, CA on January 10-12, 2020, bringing together monarch enthusiasts from all over the western US, including Robert Pyle (founder of Xerces) and Dr. Chip Taylor (founder Monarch Watch) and 8-10 individuals from Utah. It was a great event focused on expert knowledge, monarch tagging, current issues the western monarch population faces. We visited overwintering sites and learned how to do winter counts.   As a group, we now meet monthly to share events and activities, do community outreach, and try to reach more monarch and pollinator enthusiasts throughout the state of Utah.

Present at the meeting were Mindy Wheeler and Amanda Barth from the State of Utah DNR; Becky Yeager, Rose Greer, Jenn Down from Cache Valley, Rachel Taylor and Todd Stoud from Salt Lake City.

In 2019, the State of Utah Division of Natural Resources (DNR) partnered with local monarch enthusiasts to help develop a portion of the WAFWA Western Monarch Butterfly Conservation Plan from 2019 to 2069. In addition, we established a website where we could share information statewide on monarchs and milkweed.

In addition, Utah’s DNR launched a project to identify where we have naturally occurring breeding habitat throughout the state -- in order to preserve, maintain and enhance that habitat.  This is a huge unknown, as Utah has vast amounts of open space, much of which is BLM land.  More than 80% of Utah’s population lives along a 120-mile stretch known as the Wasatch Front, and the rest of the state is much less densely populated.

Rachel Taylor, Research Associate for Southwest Monarch Study, leads the project with the DOC and University of Utah’s StemCAP program of taking science to the incarcerated.  She completed the second season this June, and has provided thousands of seedlings to Salt Lake City and County Parks and Open Space; at Workshops in Salt Lake and Summit Counties, to various garden groups, and to individuals who are interested providing seedlings for projects and individuals who were interested.

2020 recipients included a project on the Jordan River, which runs from Utah Lake to Great Salt Lake – a natural riparian corridor with much potential for additional monarch conservation projects.

Utah Conservation Corps (UCC) Salt Lake City crew members worked with Utah’s Reclamation Mitigation and Conservation Commission to plant native showy milkweed as part of a partnered biodiversity project.

This DOC project has the potential to grow various species of native milkweed for Utah to share in many areas of the state, as well as nectar flowers moving forward. Please stay tuned!

A program of Environmental Defense Fund and Audubon International

Utah currently has seven golf courses participating in the program called "Monarchs in the Rough", a program that partners with golf courses to restore pollinator habitat in “out of play” areas:

  • Bonneville Golf Course

  • Lakeside Golf Course

  • Logan River Golf Course

  • Rose Park Golf Course

  • Salt Lake Country Club

  • Soldier Hollow Golf Course

  • Willow Creek Country Club

RAE Environmental is a small NGO located in northern Utah. In 2019 we launched our program Western Monarch Pollinator Pathways (WMPP), a dedicated conservation effort to increasing habitat availability and connectivity along monarch migratory corridors. The majority of our efforts are currently in northern and central Utah where we take a 3-level approach for increasing habitat:

1.) Elementary School Garden Program - we provide plants and resources for elementary schools to establish a pollinator garden on school grounds, with the option of certifying it as an official monarch way station;

2.) Large Landowner Sanctuaries - we work with landowners owning >4 acres of property who desire to enhance or establish pollinator habitat;

3.) October Milkweed Awareness and Free Seed Distributions - for the month of October, we raise awareness for migrating monarchs and encourage individuals through our social media outlets to plant native milkweeds in their home gardens. Seeds are provided free of charge!

A combination of locally sourced native seeds and plants are provided with instructions and planting guidelines for all qualifying programs, free of charge. Last year we were able to distribute approximately 14,000 milkweed seeds and 1000 native seeds/plugs through our programs. Five Monarch Waystations are currently in production which will greatly increase our Waystation count in the northern part of the state.

In addition to individual efforts, we have been working closely with Monarchs of Bridgerland (northern Utah) to maximize conservation efforts, community outreach, and collaborative approaches to promote best practices. Other collaborations include project participation with Audubon Society, local parks and businesses, and regional consulting firms specializing in various habitat restoration projects.

What To Know When Getting a Visa

A visa can be defined as a conditional permit that is mainly issued by the territory to a foreigner. This will mainly allow then enter a land and also be able to remain within or to leave the territory when they want. The visas may limit the duration that you as a foreigner will stay in a land and therefore once the visa is expired, you will have no choice but to go back to your original country. A visa will also dictate the parts of the country that you are allowed to enter while you are in the foreign country. It may also dictate whether you are allowed to work when you are in the foreign land. This document is mainly issued of the immigration official who may be authorized by the state or the government to offer such services.
When you are applying for a visa, you must be willing to work for it. This is because it will all be worth it. They are different interviews that you are called upon and, therefore, you must be willing to show up to answer all the questions that you are asked. You can win a visa or not and once you are not able to, then this means that you will not be going to the country of destination. When you are making an application for a visa, you should be very keen as to give the right information in it. You should also read all the questions carefully to avoid answering the wrong things that will be contrary to what you answer when you are called for an interview. Another disclaimer is that you must try the level best to avoid the fake websites. There are so many fake websites that are advertising themselves. Therefore, when you are applying, make sure that you give your information to the right website as you would fall for a hoax and even be forced to pay money for the service.
Before you try to apply for a visa, there are some things that you should know. This will keep you informed and hence, it will be important to carry out your own research. The first thing that you should know is that you don’t always need a visa to travel. It is not a must that you have a visa when you are travelling as there are countries that you can get in without necessarily having the Visa.
You must also be aware of the time that I will take you to get your documents. Once you apply, there is a specific amount of time that you are supposed to wait so that you can get the visa. This mainly differs based on your destination. Therefore, you can wait for more than a week to get it. There are those embassies that will call you for an interview and hence you should be prepared to have one.
Another thing to note is that it is not a must that you acquire the visa for you can be denied. There are circumstances under which the visa can be denied. Some instances may include photos that are not acceptable and incomplete applications.

2012 Aged Gong Mei White Tea

2012 Aged Gong Mei White Tea

These little balls are perfect for gongfu brewing! They have been aged since 2012 from sun-dried white tea, and have developed a super smooth and unique character.

The taste opens with a light honey and fruit note, and continues with some florals and malt. As you steep this, the viscosity will thicken and the base notes will grow stronger.

There is no bitterness or astringency, no matter how you steep these. You can steep shorter lengths for a lighter, more white-tea-like experience, or longer to give you an almost black tea characteristic!

Price is per ~5g ball. To keep the price on these low, there is no additional packaging for them, so steeping information will be listed below:

Recommended gongfu style: use 1 ball per 100ml gaiwan and 190ºF water. Start by steeping for 45 seconds to get the ball to open up a bit. Brew for color from there on out, anywhere from a light amber to a dark amber is enjoyable! For later steeps, increase temperature up to boiling.

Recommended western style: Place one ball in a 16oz mug or teapot (teapot is ideal). Add 190ºF water to it. Allow to cool to drinking temperature, enjoy 2/3 of the tea, then refill with water. Once this stops producing, you can boil the leaves in a small pot over the stove for 10 minutes (or until color is a medium-dark amber). If you are using a mug, it's helpful to have a spoon or other utensil on hand to help hold the leaves back as you drink.

View Full Version : How was the ALDHA Gathering

Former Admin
10-20-2002, 10:44

10-20-2002, 11:31
Well I was there on Saturday only - mainly to meet the folks from Moonbow and get measured for a Gearskin and to see how my gear would fit in the Gearskin system. While there I went to a few of the seminars/presentations including Baltimore Jack's and talked (mostly listened) with a few people such as Trail Dad. I finished up listening to Walkin' Jim's concert which was very good. I had dinner at the AYCE cafeteria - the food was good but not great (Aramark stuff) but it seemed the line was very slow to get into the cafeteria. I met a couple hiking friends from another forum but mostly was by myself. The crowd was fairly sizeable - not too sure how many (250-? maybe) since there was no one place where everyone was together. It was relatively well organized - there was only one seminar that I left when no presenter showed up.

Generally there was little in the seminar's that I found new and interesting but the presentations were well done. There was a lot of other stuff I should have gone to see such as the slide shows and videos but I did not have time for.

In broad terms I got what I came for (meet with Moonbow folks) and the rest while good was not really my cup of tea - would have rather gone hiking.

10-20-2002, 13:25
I was there Fri, Sat and Sun. Stacy Mikkalsen, who's trail name should be Sweetheart or Giggles, anchored the opening ceremonies on Friday evening. She read off every year and had all thru-hikers stand who completed the hike for that year. I thought Baltimore Jack was going to pass out from standing and sitting down so much.Too funny!! Way to go jack!!

There was a little emotional moment when she came to the year 1948, the year Earl Shaffer completed his first Thru hike. Some of his family were there and they were presented an award/gift to a standing ovation.

Then Flying Brian gave a slide show on his triple crown hike. I thought he slacked packed with ground control on this hike but apparently not. He said his biggest day was a 41 miler. Unbelievable!!!

Sat HH and I went to watch the slide show on Hiking Mt Kilimanjaro in Africa, 19,300 feet. This was from Blueberry and Cat in the Hat's hike this past Jan. Nice slides and presented well. Then we watched the slide presentation of the Colorado Trail by David Jones aka Wahoola. The scenery was just awesome!! David did an excellent job, added a lot of humor to his slides. He hiked this with 6 other guys, one was Telephone Man Mac McDaniels. Then we went to the Twenty Question seminar giving by Jack Tarlin aka Baltimore Jack. I thought Jack did a hell of job. He was very articulate, well spoken, organised, and honest. He admitted he carried a 50lb pack in public. Do that anywhere and people's eyeballs start rolling around in their heads. He preached the number one rule for hiking, hike your own hike. Good job Jack, I gave you an A Plus.

I left early Sunday morning but HH went back to get in the group photo and maybe do another seminar.

I also went and talked with Jonathon from Moonbow and switched out liner bags. He must have been in a circus, every time I saw him he was juggleing something, and doing it very well I must add.

We talked to Ed Speers aka Not to Worry. He was there promoting his hammocks and he gave a seminar as well. The last time I saw Ed was on Springer Mtn new years night of this year. I'm still amazed I survived that cold night. Ed said his thermoneter got down to 5 that night. BRRRRR.

HH and myself camped at Pipstem Resort. An awesome place in it's own. Just 1/4 mile away. We hung out at the group campfire Friday night after everyone came back together from the different seminars and eating ect. The big field filled up with cars. I couldn't guest the amount of people attending but, the one last year up north had 2000 people. There was quite a number at this one as well. This was my first time and I enjoyed it.

Here's a few other faces and names seen:

Lenquini-Charles Duane-HH said he thruhiked the AT in 100 days with a seven pound pack. WOW!

Spur and Ready

Weather Carrot

Leki Man-Chris Hall

Miss Janet

Warren Doyle

HH-- don't forget about Stinky that we had the privaledge to sit behind at the opening ceremonies.

Tomoka Ted-He sang a couple of songs at the opening ceremonies-Dude, he can play that guitar I tell ya!!

Mother Goose-This lady has thruhiked 5 times.

Make your plans now, every two years the Gathering comes back to Concord College.

10-20-2002, 18:06
I wasn't even there, and I know that it's a great time.

But why wait 2 years? next year it's back to Hanover (Hang-over).

10-21-2002, 12:00
The Gathering was, on the whole, a good experience for me. I met a bunch of thru hikers that I ambled along the trail with in May and it was good to see them again. I missed Walkin' Jim Stoltz's show, but made it to one of his seminars on long distance hiking without a long distance trail. Excellent information overall. Most of the workshops contained only information that is easily accessible on the web, but they did have lots of pretty pictures. There was a really interesting account of Brian Frankle's 113 mile walk across the Bonneville salt flats. The Hiker Fair had some interesting gear on display, such as hard sided packs and fleece overalls. I even purchased a rucksack style pack from ULA.

One of the more interesting facets for me was to meet in person all these people who I've run in to either on the internet or just read about. People like Brian Robinson, Ram Bunny, Warren Doyle, Baltimore Jack, Jim Stoltz, Miss Janet, etc. Not to mention people whose journeys I've followed on trailjournals.com. I wanted to talk to so many people while I was there, but there just wasn't the time. After all, there was a considerable amount of beer to be drunk and only so much time to talk.

On a darker note, there was a trend at the Gathering that I found a bit disturbing. Amongst the attendees at the various seminars, there seemed to be a fair number of people whose main purpose in asking a question or making a comment was self-aggrandizement. That is, some one would attempt to ask a question, but would really spin a tale or yarn about how great their hike was, how great their hometown is, how light their load is, how much trivia they know, etc, etc. That is, there were many "questions" asked which were really opportunities for people to say how great they were. Not all the seminars or question askers were like this. But it was a large enough number for myself and some other hikers to take notice of. I suppose this, perhaps, is innate to the type of meeting that the Gathering is. If I didn't know so many other hikers and didn't chat with other people at the Gathering, I would have taken a bad impression away from the Gathering of the type of people at the Gathering.

So where and when is the next one?

10-21-2002, 13:50

It should be a Dartmouth College in Hanover NH next year around 10-11-03. This years Gathering was moved back a week because of a scheduling problem.

It alternates every year between Concord College and Dartmounth College.

Following is a link, it's too early for the official word on next years event.

View Full Version : listed shoe weight

01-01-2011, 12:27
Is the listed shoe weight always per/pair? I'm looking at the Montrail AT Plus and they list 15oz. That must be pre-shoe.

01-01-2011, 13:19
Usually "per shoe". :sun

01-01-2011, 13:23
It should be accurate, at least for a given size. If your size is larger than average, yours may be a little more, but it's not per shoe. My New Balance shoes weigh about 12 oz per pair and that's very close to the listed weight.

01-01-2011, 15:09
I have the AT Plus in size 10-1/2. About a pound for the pair. There is another string on this site about this model. I seem alone in having good luck with them!

01-01-2011, 15:41
Typically for men, the listed weight is for a pair of either size 8 or 9. I'm size 11 and shoes are never as light as listed.

01-01-2011, 16:43
I'm size 11 and shoes are never as light as listed.What do you expect, you're trying to shoe bear paws, not human feet! :D

Packaging Production

Packaging must be beautiful, functional and economical. A beautiful package that’s difficult to open or very expensive to produce is equally as ineffective as an ugly package that’s both highly functional and very inexpensive. All three aspects of packaging must work together to form one comprehensive whole for maximum sales.

  • Roster of Vendors
  • Print Techniques
  • Proofing
  • Color Matching
  • Troubleshooting

Our Process

Designing your brand’s packaging is only half the battle, bringing it to life presents a whole new set of challenges. Luckily, we not only know the ins-and-outs of producing packaging, we have a team of trusted packaging vendors that are the best in the biz.

Roster of Vendors

We have a team of trusted packaging; this allows us to utilize a variety of packaging materials, nishes and printing methods to make sure your brand stands out on the shelf and against the competition. We know each of our client has unique needs when it comes to their packaging production so we offer three different options when it comes to this process.

Print Techniques

Design is only the first step towards crafting premium packaging. For each design it is crucial to find the most fitting materials and printing technologies. Methods can vary in surface relief and surface tension among other distinctions. At Wick & Mortar our years of experience have sharpened our packaging processes. We produce quality packaging that accurately represents its brand and more importantly, remains unique and recognizable to cannabis consumers.

After creating a design and deciding upon a printing technique, the project will be brought to life in the form of a proof. The packaging and techniques used are examined and subject to review.

Color Matching

Exactitude of color is vital to packaging design and production. Our team utilizes multiple systems to promote the highest standard of color consistency.

We have a roster of rockstar vendors and have worked hard to hone the art of packaging in the cannabis space. When we go to print, we know what we are getting. If and when a proof doesn’t meet our expectations, we work with our vendors as quickly as possible to make revisions.

Since 2009, we have helped cannabis brands
grow. win. succeed. dominate. crush it. evolve. thrive.

A shortened mini-vacation to Bluefin Bay resort on the North Shore of Lake Superior. But.. Covid-19 and a Governor mandated "shelter at home" rule cut our vacation short. The resort closes in a few minutes, this is a quick album of photos I took yesterday. On the road home after this...

Measuring the value of an education

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 14/2/2020 (249 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.

Late last year, Manitoba’s post-secondary schools received mandate letters from the province outlining a new "performance-based" funding model, and the expectations of a modern institution.

"It is critical that our colleges and universities be nimble and responsive, ceasing programs that lack responsiveness and value in a modern context and building programs that deliver the skills needed for today and tomorrow," wrote Economic Development and Training Minister Ralph Eichler in the letter, which was sent in December to Assiniboine Community College, Brandon University, Red River College, St. Boniface University, University College of the North, University of Manitoba, and University of Winnipeg.

"Together, we can contribute to achieving the outcomes of Manitoba’s economic growth action plan, meet the objectives of the forthcoming "skills, talent and knowledge strategy," and deliver on the commitment to build 40,000 new jobs in our province."

The letter is heavy on buzzwords, but light on how this kind of data will be measured, and how value will be assessed. Some institutions have raised concerns about whether or not a "performance-based" funding model would threaten some university programs, especially those in the humanities.

For generations, it was a widely held view that a university degree — at least, in the "higher" disciplines — was a pipeline to secure employment. And not just any kind of secure employment — high-salaried employment. A university education is not cheap; according to Statistics Canada, the average Canadian university student graduates with more than $26,000 in student debt. Many entry-level salaries aren’t much more than that. Throw in a master’s degree or a PhD, and some students will be paying off their schooling until they retire — that is, if they can afford to retire.

Of course, thinking about university this way leads to debates about the general liberal-arts education universities also provide, and about which disciplines are "useful" and "productive" and which are "useless" and "worthless." Major in philosophy or art history? In this economy?

But somewhere along the way, some skeptical observers — including, perhaps, some currently serving in government — seem to have lost sight of the other reasons people go to university. University education can also be about expanding, changing and shaping minds; about fostering curiosity and critical thought. About learning to work collaboratively, to meet deadlines, to problem-solve.

Those, too, are resumé-worthy qualities. Education for the sake of higher learning and training for the workforce are not mutually exclusive pursuits. Regardless of a student’s declared major, universities encourage the development of so-called soft skills: communication, discipline, flexibility, adaptability, the ability to quickly synthesize and summarize information.

The paths people follow from the hallowed halls of university to the workforce are not always linear. Yes, some people go to nursing school and move directly into rewarding careers as nurses. But some people get degrees in history and literature and become CEOs of social-media giants (as in the case of YouTube’s Susan Wojcicki).

Which is why the province should be very clear about what the metrics are, how it is measuring them, and what, exactly, distinguishes a high-performing program from a low-performing one. Tying an academic discipline’s value to the labour market might not be so straightforward. Degrees are not guarantees, especially in an age of increasing job precarity. Which is why so many students carrying a significant debt load are disillusioned about attaining that coveted "piece of paper."

Measuring outcomes is important, but it’s also worthwhile to remember what the multi-faceted role of a university is.

CREWE Town Council has issued a plea to HS2 Ltd and Network Rail to bring high speed trains into the town’s existing station, to drive forward the regeneration of the surrounding area.

The current preferred option for HS2 is to develop a brand new dedicated hub station for the £45.6 billion Phase Two section of the railway.

But in letters sent to the chief executives of HS2 Ltd and Network Rail, the authority has put forward an option that would allow HS2 trains to stop at the current station.

“By constructing a second link between the main line and HS2, north of the proposed new tunnel under Crewe, some HS2 trains could stop in Crewe station and then re-join the HS2 line to continue northwards,” said Clr Tony Davison, chair of the economic development committee."

Clr Kevin Hickson, leader of Crewe Town Council, said placing the hub south of Crewe to serve new employment sites in Basford could draw investment from the town centre.

“Employment sites at Basford are important for the future of the town, but they will go ahead with or without the relocation of Crewe station,” he added.

“In fact only last month it was predicted that the construction of the Crewe Green Link Road would create 12, 500 jobs there.

“However, if the existing station is closed, shops and hotels in the vicinity will lose trade, and there will be no incentive for new investment in the area.”

The first phase of HS2, running from London to Birmingham, has already been supported in parliament.

The second phase will see trains continue on to Manchester and Liverpool.

In March this year, Sir David Higgins, the Chairman of HS2 Ltd, published recommendations to expedite Phase Two, building as far north as Crewe, where a hub station would allow users to transfer to local and West Coast Main Line services.

US Corporate Law News: Fifth Circuit curtails the reach of ERISA

On June 21, 2018, the US Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit issued an opinion narrowing the applicability of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”), which imposes a heightened fiduciary obligation on financial advisers to clients investing pension money as opposed to non-pension funds. The Court vacated the 2016 Fiduciary Rule, which triggered this obligation whenever financial advice was (1) provided to an ERISA investor and (2) such advice was tailored to the needs of the investor's ERISA plan. Now, the old ERISA rule applies, whereby, in addition to the above 2 prongs, a heightened responsibility is triggered only when such advice is also (3) provided on a regular basis, (4) pursuant to a mutual arrangement and (5) is the primary basis for the investor's investment decisions. As a result, advisers can market directly to ERISA investors and should update their disclosure documents. For more information visit:

3 Reasons Why Fallout 76 is Better When Playing With a VPN

Sarah Barnes Last Updated by Sarah Barnes on March 14, 2019

Fallout 76

Source: Pixabay

Fallout 76 hits the market 14 November 2018. This title is the first online installment of the series, and its popularity is likely to lead to a surge of online traffic and possible lag. Fallout 76 won’t be available worldwide since some governments and ISPs block certain websites and release times and dates differ depending on location.

With a VPN, you can bypass these restrictions and play Fallout 76 upon its initial release.

Top 3 Reasons You Need a VPN to Play Fallout 76

1. Bypass Geo-Restrictions

Most countries have different internet censorship laws. While some allow you to access virtually any website you want, others don’t. If you live in a region that restricts online content, this can affect gaming.

Some countries in which you may be unable to play Fallout 76:

  • North Korea
  • China
  • Ethiopia
  • Bahrain
  • Belarus
  • Cuba
  • Iran

Bypass Geo-Restrictions

2. Get Fallout 76 Right Away

Not all countries will have access to the game at the same time. While the official launch date is the November 14th, there are scattered release slots for region and platform.

A VPN will allow you to connect to servers in other countries, bypassing these restrictions. In addition, a VPN will allow you to circumvent the firewalls in your office or school, so you can sneak in a few hours more when you’re not supposed to.

3. Avoid Speed Throttling Issues

Some ISPs underhandedly throttle your connection speeds if they’re aware of you using a large proportion of bandwidth. The anonymity provided by a VPN prevents them from determining your activity.

Features to Look Out for When Choosing a VPN

While a VPN is the best solution for playing Fallout 76, not all services are the same. There are some specific features you should look to utilize.

While free VPN services can be great, they won’t always bypass government and ISP censorships, offer the same connection speeds, or levels of encryption.

Here’s what you should look for in a VPN service to play Fallout 76:

  • High speeds
  • Unlimited bandwidth
  • No throttling
  • Global servers

Top 3 VPNs to Play Fallout 76

  • Unlimited bandwidth and no throttling
  • VPN servers optimized for fast connections
  • 30-day money back guarantee
  • 2,000+ global servers

ExpressVPN has applications for Windows, Mac, iOS, and Android devices. The company offers blazing fast speeds as well as total security. Thanks to its live chat support, you can also get answers to all your questions day and night.

Try Now Risk Free

  • Fast connection speeds
  • Unlimited bandwidth
  • 30-day money back guarantee
  • 5,000+ global servers

NordVPN has some of the fastest speeds in the industry and can connect up to 6 devices secure simultaneously with a single account. Additionally, the company has an exceptional support team on hand to help you with any queries.

Get it Now

  • Highest possible speeds
  • Unlimited bandwidth and traffic
  • 45-day money back guarantee
  • 3,000+ global servers

CyberGhost comes with multiple layers of encryption and supports seven devices simultaneously. The company has an efficient customer support team as well as a forum packed with resources.

Get it Now

Bottom Line

A VPN is the best way to ensure you can play Fallout 76 upon release. If you choose to use a VPN service, consider bandwidth allocation, connection speeds, and the availability of servers.

If you’re not sure which service is best for you, all three recommendations above come with a money back guarantee period for a full refund if you’re not satisfied with your purchase.

Mystery Solved: Saudi Prince Is Buyer Of $450M DaVinci Painting

Dec 7, 2017

The mystery over who paid a record-breaking $450 million for Leonardo da Vinci's painting Salvator Mundi at an auction last month appears to have been solved. It turns out it's Saudi Arabia's crown prince Mohammed bin Salman.

That's according to U.S. intelligence officials who keep a close eye on the kingdom's young and powerful crown prince, says the Wall Street Journal.

The winning bid in the November 15 auction at Christie's in New York was made anonymously by phone using a Christie's representative. The New York Times reported earlier that documents showed another member of the royal family, Prince Bader bin Abdullah bin Mohammed bin Farhan al-Saud, placed the final bid. But intelligence officials say Bader was just a proxy for crown prince Mohammed.

Normally, news of a wealthy and powerful member of Saudi Arabia's royal family buying a piece of art would not raise any interest. But the timing on this purchase was notable. It came just two weeks after Crown Prince Mohammed launched an anti-corruption campaign, rounding up more than 200 Saudi businessmen, ministers and princes. Most are being detained at a luxury hotel in the capital, Riyadh.

The identity of the buyer became something of a parlor game. Even executives at Christie's had questions about who it was.

Prince Bader did not present himself as a bidder until the day before the auction. At that time he put down a $100 million deposit to qualify for bidding. Christie's pressed him to establish both his identity and the source of his money. The prince's response was that he made his money in real estate, and that he was just one of some 5,000 Saudi princes.

A spokeswoman for Christie's would not comment on the identity of the buyer, but did confirm the painting would be displayed at the newly opened Louvre Abu Dhabi, in the United Arab Emirates, a branch of the Louvre Museum in Paris. Louvre Abu Dhabi also tweeted the painting would be heading its way.

The choice of painting is also curious. Salvator Mundi portrays Jesus holding an orb in his left hand while raising his right. Saudi Arabia adheres to a strict form of Islam which shuns visual portrayals of religious figures.

The Journal says the painting was offered to the royal family in Qatar — Saudi Arabia's regional rival — in 2011 for a mere $80 million. They turned it down, and did not bid on it this time around.

There are also questions about the authenticity of the painting. Some art critics say it lacks the vitality of da Vinci's work, and that it has been painted and scrubbed a number of times.

The previous owner of Salvator Mundi was a Russian businessman, Dmitry Rybolovlev, who purchased it for $127 million in 2013.

Protecting Your Business

As a business owner, are you concerned about your company's reliance on a few key people? If one becomes disabled or dies, do you have a contingency plan to carry on business? Consider Key Person Insurance to protect against the loss of those top employees.

Many businesses are often at risk of being dependent on the expertise of just a few key employees. A key employee within an organization could be defined as anyone who is responsible for managerial decisions, a person who may be a leading contributor to the sales force or perhaps someone who maintains crucial customer relationships. The death or disability of that key person could significantly impair the growth or stability of the business. To reduce this impact, some businesses purchase Key Person Insurance to protect against the loss of these top employees.

Key Person Insurance can be used by having the company purchase a life and/or disability insurance policy on each key person in the organization. The company pays the premiums and is the designated beneficiary should a key person die or become incapacitated. The company can then use the insurance benefit, which it receives tax free, in whatever manner deemed fit to ensure the viability of the business. The company may use the policy proceeds to account for a variety of responses triggered by the death or disability of the key person.

Benefits of Key Person Insurance:

  • Indemnity for the possible decreased cash flow from potential lost clients or the lost confidence of suppliers
  • Pay off creditors who may call outstanding loans or increase interest on debt
  • Purchase the deceased or disabled person's shares in the company
  • Offer financial assistance to the family of the deceased or disabled person
  • Recruit or train a qualified replacement for the key person's position

Key Person Insurance should be considered as part of your overall business plan. In conjunction with an Estate Planning Specialist*, we can help you in the development and implementation of your business succession plan.

What Is A Dedicated Hosting?

100% Uptime SLA, 24/7/365 Live Support & Fast Cloud Servers

For first-time site builders and owners of small websites, shared hosting can fill the bill for an affordable price, but that option may not be able to meet the needs of larger, more complex sites and those with high traffic volume. For those users, dedicated hosting offers a scalable, highly customizable alternative that bypasses the limitations and risks of shared hosting in favour of sole occupancy on a server reserved exclusively for a single website.

How Does Dedicated Hosting Work?

Account holders' pages are hosted and managed on the servers of a remote provider in all web hosting models, who is also responsible, depending on the type of hosting contract, for critical maintenance and certain site management. Shared hosting providers placed multiple accounts on the same site, where they draw from the shared resources of the system, to keep costs low.

In this setting, the behaviour of its neighbours on the server will affect any location. A rise in traffic on one site may result in others running slowly or experiencing service interruptions, and the provider 's basic security measures may not be able to avoid malicious activity that infects sites through shared technologies. And, since shared hosting is intended for smaller sites with low traffic, the account may be terminated when the monthly traffic level of a site reaches a limit set by the provider.

Dedicated hosting prevents these problems by offering an option that is more versatile, effective, and secure for rising sites with an ever-increasing amount of traffic, as well as large corporations' existing sites. A provider makes a whole server and all its services accessible to a single client in this hosting model, with different levels of support and maintenance available depending on the hosting plans of the provider.

This type of hosting environment provides much more flexibility, anonymity, and user control than other types of web hosting solutions, while dedicated web hosting can cost considerably more than simple shared hosting. The advantages of dedicated web hosting include improved performance, better security, full customer control, and the hosting provider's selection of support services. Get started today with dedicated hosting if these are the kind of features you are searching for:

  • Enhanced Website Performance
  • Superior Security for Unique Needs
  • Flexibility for Customization
  • Ongoing Technical and Server Support

Who Needs Dedicated Hosting?

Dedicated hosting is not for everyone. This form of hosting can be costly, costing hundreds a month, although some providers offer less for self-managed economic plans. Shared hosting at a lower cost could be the best option for both short- and long-term needs for new users with small sites, or long-term sites with small amounts of traffic.

For places that have or plan to have heavy traffic, dedicated hosting offers the infrastructure necessary to handle millions of site visits. Dedicated hosting also supports complex platforms, such as those supported by major e-commerce firms and other forms of businesses, which require comprehensive customization. For sites that require strict protection, such as those involving financial transactions or the handling of medical data and patient information, this method of hosting may also be correct.

For the duration of its existence, shared hosting options can be everything a small site requires, but with exclusive server resources and robust user support, dedicated hosting offers the flexibility and scalability that will sustain the growth and development of a website now and for the future.

29. April 2009 Italian, SoHo 0

25 West Houston Street between Greene and Mercer
$196 for two, with five drinks, without tip
♥ ♥

I knew I shouldn’t have ordered the $22 glass of Barolo but the guy behind the bar gave me a taste after I picked the $16 Muraglie and convinced me that it was the better way to go. It was a very good glass of wine and I gingerly drank it with the meats and cheeses that we ordered as appetizers, as well as with the asparagus salad topped with fried duck prosciutto and egg. For $20, we had a choice of five cheeses and salumis: we split the cacciatorini, the sweet coppa, the finocchiona and the Calcagno with the Testun al Barolo. I loved the subtle spring taste of the trout main dish with the fava beans, sprouts and sweet peas; a few pieces of morels upped the price to $28.

I have walked by Centovini several times but never paid much attention to it because it looked far too dark from the outside. I thought the space would be a little too romantic to meet a friend, so I was surprised at how bright it actually was inside. We sat at the bar under the massive mirrored lamp and even felt like a surgery can be done right on the marble-top counter. The rest of the restaurant is quite handsome, with a beautiful wall of wine shelves in one end and a lounge area in another.

The service was unobtrusive because they knew to leave us alone the entire time we were there. The bartender seemed to just show up whenever we needed to refill our wine glasses. And as to not interrupt our conversation, we would nod and just give him an okay–that makes for a very hefty bill after two and a half hours.

You can still get away with a much simpler dinner–and less wine–before heading to Angelika Theater without spending too much. A three-course prix-fixe is available every night for just $38 while brunch on weekends goes for $18. Centovini isn’t Lupa but I think it’s a good spot to start the night off right. Just make sure you don’t order the Barolo.

vegIMPACT - Vegetable production and marketing with impact

VegImpact (Vegetable production and marketing with impact) is a project that gives small-scale farmers in Indonesia the knowledge they need to increase their vegetable production. The programme is aimed at improving vegetable production and marketing for small farmers in Indonesia. Through its interventions vegIMPACT contributes to food and nutrition security and to private sector development in Indonesia.

The programme activities (2012 – 2017) include the development of Product Market Combinations, strengthening of the potato sector, development of permanent vegetable production systems, transfer of practical agronomic knowledge to farmers and extension, and reduction of occupational health risks in vegetable production.

The major part of the programme activities focuses on practical training and capacity building of farmers, extension and other stakeholders in vegetable chains. vegIMPACT aims at realising measurable impact and benefits for Indonesian vegetable farmers. However, the Programme is also about learning. We develop and implement different farmer training methods. The farmers receive help to deploy effective marketing tools to sell their products at the right price. Using an e-learning module and practical training and coaching programmes, VegImpact helps to improve food safety and contributes to the development of a private sector in Indonesia.

VegImpact is the continuation of previous successful Dutch-Indonesian agricultural projects, is financed by the Dutch government and develops new production chains aimed at increasing income for arable farmers. The project covers various Indonesian islands (including Java, Sumatra and Sulawesi), and involves close collaboration with the local and private sectors in order to achieve sustainable outcomes.

We are currently working on a new vegIMPACT website.
