Sugar, high BP no eye candy

The eye is the only part on the exterior of the body where a physician can view the nerves and blood vessels. As such, not only is the eye a window to the soul but it is a vista to examine the health of a person. Two of the most common conditions affecting health are diabetes and hypertension, both of which afflict India disproportionately. Sixty-two million Indians have diabetes, a figure that will rise to 80 million by 2030. Almost 30 per cent of Indians have hypertension. Both of these conditions can damage vision, directly and indirectly.

Diabetes causes blood vessels to leak, leading to swelling in the macula—the part of the retina that is responsible for central vision. Leaky blood vessels cause progressive but generally slow loss of central vision. Further, diabetes restricts the oxygen supply to the retina, causing the growth of abnormal vessels that can bleed and cause sudden loss of sight.

Hypertension, or high blood pressure, can be very damaging to the eye, narrowing blood vessels, decreasing oxygen supply, and even causing bleeding. It can also contribute to mini-strokes in the retina and optic nerve. All of these lead to loss of vision.

An unhealthy diet, especially high sugar and salt intake, lack of exercise, poor sleep, stress, sitting for long periods and genetic factors are the principal risks for diabetes and hypertension. Diabetes and hypertension can cause damage to many different organs, causing heart attacks, strokes and kidney failure. But going blind is probably what people fear most, next to losing life.

Many people drive to work, sit at a desk all day, drive back home and sit in front of the television in the evening. For this group, it is important that they work to minimise the amount of sitting time, and that they cultivate activity wherever possible. Beyond cutting sweets and salt, I also recommend adding yoga, taking walking breaks periodically during the workday, alternating cardio workouts with strength-building exercises, protecting sleep schedules by turning off TVs, computers and smart phones an hour before bed and reducing stress.

Sleep apnoea, manifested by snoring or not breathing in sleep, makes diabetes and hypertension worse. It also impairs blood flow to the eyes, making many eye conditions worse. So to married couples, if your spouse is not sleeping properly, this can be a serious medical problem. Fortunately, there are treatments for sleep apnoea that are shown to work such as CPAP, Provent, weight loss and rarely surgery.

Our doctors often tell us to focus on getting fasting blood sugar down below 125, the haemoglobin A1c below 7 and blood pressure down to 120/80. These numbers can sound abstract and it is easy to adopt a “who-cares” attitude. But, reaching and maintaining these goals will prevent complications from diabetes, one of the most devastating of which is vision loss. So remember, your doctor may be stressing on the numbers in the cause of extending and improving your quality of life.

Sometimes patients take their diabetes or blood pressure medicine only on the day of the doctor’s visit just to please the doctor. Obviously, that is counterproductive. Learning to examine the eyes properly can tell the primary care doctor whether the patient really is controlling their blood sugar and pressure on a long-term basis. There are instruments to aid in the diagnosis and monitoring of diabetic and hypertensive eye disease. Remember if you don’t look, you won’t find!

I have taken the liberty of offering some nutritional recommendations for patients with diabetes or hypertension, and I would look forward to suggestions from nutritionists and physicians on making this list better, and from patients and the public on how to integrate these into exciting recipes.

For patients with diabetes or pre-diabetes, try the following nutritional modifications:
* add food with a higher protein-carbohydrate ratio and decrease simple or refined sugars
* use whole grains rather than processed ones
* use grain with a higher protein and fibre content rather than grains low in protein and fibre like white rice, yellow or white corn and processed white flours
* increase intake of fruits like pomegranate and raspberries
* decrease sugar in baking and use agave, cinnamon or stevia instead
* decrease simple sugar food like potatoes and processed snacks
* add vegetables like fenugreek and nopal (prickly pear)

For patients with hypertension, try:
* increasing intake of food higher in potassium—apricots, coconut water, spinach, acorn or spaghetti squash, grapefruits or prunes and their juices, kiwi, sweet potatoes or yams, white beans, bananas and beet greens
* increasing food rich in calcium—yoghurt, milk, cheese, spinach, kale, turnip greens and fortified orange juice
* adding vitamin D supplementation (2,000 to 5,000 u/day)
* increasing food rich in magnesium—cashews, almonds, pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds, spinach, kale, lentils (white beans, garbanzo beans, kidney beans), figs and dark chocolate
* reducing sodium—frozen food, packaged snacks, canned or pickled food, instant food and cured meats or fish

Gymnast, Tripura

GYMNAST DIPA Karmakar has made two things famous—the Produnova, a dangerous vault which only five athletes in the world have succesfuly executed, and the state of Tripura.

In pre-Dipa times, India’s connect with Tripura was limited to legendary music composer Sachin Dev Burman and tennis star Somdev Devvarman. Both hail from the royal family of Tripura. In present times, though, Dipa Karmakar is Tripura’s proletariat princess—in her shiny leotard, executing dainty and deft moves on the vault and on the gymnastic floor—who commands awe and respect. Coming from a simple, middle-class background, and with no proper support other than her parent’s determination, Dipa has single-handedly thrust Tripura on the sporting map of the nation.

The 24-year-old from Agartala made history when she came became the first Indian gymnast to qualify for the finals in the Olympics, finishing fourth in the artistic gymnastics competition at Rio in 2016. While she won hearts with her death-defying moves on the vault then, gold came her way in the vault event at the FIG Artistic Gymnastics World Challenge Cup in Turkey in July 2018.

Dipa is not the first gymnast to emerge from this northeastern state—there have been 24 national level gymnasts from Tripura, including three Arjuna awardees. Mantu Debnath became the first Indian gymnast to win an international competition in Russia in 1969. Bishweswar Nandi, Dipa’s coach is a five-time national gymnastics champion. Both hail from Tripura. But none of Dipa’s peers have reached the heights she has.

“Life has changed a lot,” says Dipa. “Earlier when I would go to the gym with papa no one would notice, now they say, ‘look, there’s Dipa.’ I cannot walk around so easily when I am at home.” Sports was a way of life at home; her father Dulal Karmakar is a Sports Authority of India coach who asked Nandi to take his six-year-old daughter under his wings and make her a gymnast.

On her return from Rio, cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar handed her the keys of a BMW, sponsored by V. Chamundeshwarnath, president of the Hyderabad District Badminton Association. She later returned the car and accepted money instead, because BMW did not have a service centre in Tripura and the roads were narrow and bumpy for the luxury car. The road leading to Karmakar’s home in Agartala was repaired and widened after this news caused much embarrassment to the then Left Front government in the state.

Hailing from a region where football is the real sporting religion, Dipa’s biggest challenge was lack of modern, state-of-the-art training facilities. A local gymnasium hall doubled as a gymnastics hall, but the lack of basic facilities such as a foam pit for safe landing affected her training. “It was very difficult. I come from a very tiny state, and no infrastructure was available. Even at the senior level, forget junior, there are not many facilities,” she says. Then, the sheer enormity of her achievement hits you harder.

Greg Sankey: SEC impact goes well beyond any playing field

Monday, September 25th, 2017

By Greg Sankey

Greg Sankey

In 2016, the Southeastern Conference introduced a new slogan, “It Just Means More.”

I am frequently asked, “What means more?”

To some, the answer is apparent as we cheer with pride for National Champions, All-Americans and innumerable national award winners.

Yet, the answer goes well beyond any playing field. The answer is discovered in our states, across our country and throughout the world as the educational, economic, cultural and, yes, athletic, impact of Southeastern Conference universities is felt every day.

Remarkably, we are approaching the 85th anniversary of a meeting held at the old Farragut Hotel in Knoxville, Tennessee, when representatives from 13 universities committed to form the Southeastern Conference. In the midst of the Great Depression a vision was formed that has not only endured, but has thrived through World War II, the turbulence of the 1960s, economic and political challenges of the 1970s, and now through the continued growth experienced across the SEC’s 11-state region.

In February 1948, the SEC’s then-Commissioner Bernie Moore relocated the Commissioner’s Office from Jackson, Mississippi to Birmingham, Alabama. In the nearly 70 years since, the SEC has occupied four different addresses in Birmingham. The Conference has seen members depart and four new universities join. In the state of Alabama, the SEC has held 21 Baseball Tournaments at Hoover Metropolitan Stadium and our soccer coaches and student-athletes have embraced Orange Beach as the tournament home for SEC Women’s Soccer.

All of this illustrates, throughout the state of Alabama and across the 11 states of the SEC, It Just Means More!

Greg Sankey is Commissioner of the Southeastern Conference (SEC).

The 30 best running songs

We put together a pumping playlist of the best running songs to get your blood—and feet—moving to the beat
Photograph: Jakob N. Layman
By Time Out editors and Kate Wertheimer |

Whether you love running with all your heart or only take to the pavement begrudgingly, it's the dance party playlist in your ears that can make or break your workout. We've found the very best running songs to keep you going mile after mile in the gym or on the hiking trail. From thumping hip-hop beats to high-energy guitar jams (and even a little tough love from Britney), here's your new favorite runnning mix.

The best running songs

Best running songs: Eye of the Tiger by Survivor

"Eye Of The Tiger" by Survivor

Here’s the thing about “Eye of the Tiger.” If you get into running, you’ll probably think about signing up for a race. Maybe a Thanksgiving Turkey Trot or a neighborhood fun run to start, then a 5K or a 10K, or even a half or full marathon. This is where a runner’s intimate relationship with this song begins. It is basically impossible to run a race without hearing it, whether you’re going 3.1 miles or 26.2. We’re not here to claim this song as a modern musical masterpiece, but it’s going to motivate you to keep going whether you like it or not. Survivor wrote the track in 1982 specifically for Sylvester Stallone's theme song in Rocky III, so its association with athleticism and ass-kicking is a given. And once you start associating those iconic power chords with race-day adrenaline, it’ll have a permanent spot on your run playlist—what better motivation to pick up the pace than chasing a personal record? Wherever it lands on your playlist—whether it’s in the beginning to help you warm up or towards the end when you’re fighting fatigue—“Eye of the Tiger” is a runner’s best friend and everyone knows it. The next race you run, just watch what happens to the athletes around you when the opening chords of the song blast from the speakers. You’ll see air punches. And kung-fu kicks. Probably some dance moves. Let’s just say that no one stops to re-tie a shoe when “Eye of the Tiger” is playing. Whatever mile you’re on when it happens, it’ll be a memorable and motivational moment. Bonus points if it’s playing as you cross that finish line.—Sara Fay

Best running songs: 99 Problems by Jay-Z

"99 Problems" by Jay Z

Some people run for fitness. Others run for fun (really). Regardless of what motivates you to lace up, most runners learn pretty quickly that knocking out some miles on foot is a great opportunity to work shit out in your head. Jay Z’s 2003 track just might give you some perspective on life’s obstacles (blisters, runner’s knee, the law in your rear view mirror—you know, the normal stuff). If nothing else, the beat and the hook make the blocks pass by quickly.—Sara Fay

Best running songs: Sabotage by Beastie Boys

"Sabotage" by Beastie Boys

This grungy, distorted rapcore tune, off 1994's Ill Communication, gets your heart racing whether you're running or not, making it a go-to track for really pushing your pace. It's easy to imagine running from the cops—or toward some mayhem—with the Boys yelling in your ears, and the steady beat and frantic turntable scratches don't hurt either.—Kate Wertheimer

Best running songs: Lightning Bolt by Jake Bugg

"Lightning Bolt" by Jake Bugg

Young Brit Jake Bugg looks like he could be your kid brother. Like he’s almost old enough to taste the glory of a post-run beer—but his first big hit is more associated with Gatorade. It appeared in an ad for the runner’s drink of choice a few years ago, and its driving beat and catchy, scrabbling guitar will easily push you along the road. Short and sweet at under two and a half minutes, it’s a great opportunity for you to pick up the pace a little.—Sara Fay

Best running songs: Go! by Santigold (feat. Karen O)

"Go!" by Santigold feat. Karen O

This, friends, is your sprint song. Philly-based artist Santigold always gets our blood pumping, and in 2011 she collaborated with another, equally badass lady singer, Yeah Yeah Yeahs' Karen O, to create this beat-heavy anthem. It's got swagger, it's got drive, and it's perfect for busting out a quick half-mile (or for furiously running in place—whichever you're in the mood for).—Kate Wertheimer

Best running songs: Bad Moon Rising by Creedence Clearwater Revival

"Bad Moon Rising" by Creedence Clearwater Revival

Sometimes during a run, you're just trying to keep a steady pace and a smile on your face. Not every track has to be an angry sprint or a power anthem. CCR's 1969 single has both a steady beat and a laid-back vibe, making it the song you'll turn to when you're trying to remember why the hell you went running in the first place. —Kate Wertheimer

Best running songs: Lose Yourself by Eminem

"Lose Yourself" by Eminem

The first rap to win an Oscar for Best Song, this cut from 2002’s 8 Mile soundtrack is a blast of pure nervous aggression. Singing as B-Rabbit, his character in the movie, Eminem captures a rising rapper’s harsh back-and-forth of anxiety and ambition. (Thanks to a trick of the lyric, a big opportunity to “blow” could also just be a chance to blow an opportunity.) Program the song for later in your run; it’s the ideal fuel to propel you beyond what you think your limits are.—Adam Feldman

Best running songs: Dog Days are Over by Florence and the Machine

"Dog Days Are Over" by Florence and the Machine

This 2008 track builds momentum effortlessly, just like a run on a good day. (And speaking of which, the chorus is literally urging you to run, fast.) Florence might annoy the crap out of you, and this song was definitely overplayed for multiple years, but it's nevertheless energetic and uplifting in a way that gives you wings, whether you're running or not.—Kate Wertheimer

Best running songs: The Jean Genie by David Bowie

"The Jean Genie" by David Bowie

Bowie's 1972 single, the A-side to "Ziggy Stardust," has a chugging R&B riff and a steady beat that's perfect for a long-legged jog. One of the best parts of running is getting lost in your thoughts, the movement, the music—and we can't think of a more fun song to distract ourselves with. In Bowie's own words: let yourself go!—Kate Wertheimer

Best running songs: Work Bitch by Britney Spears

"Work Bitch" by Britney Spears

In the arena of running songs with a motivational message, Britney’s got your back just like a guilt-inducing trainer with rippling abs would: by obnoxiously reminding you “no pain, no gain." Off 2013's Britney Jean, this single has glimmers of early Britney dance tracks plus an obvious EDM sheen. It's kind of an awful song (though by far the best on the album), but who cares? It’ll help you get those miles in, and remind you what you’re working toward: a hot body, a Bugatti… mostly that hot body. Now get to work, bitch.—Sara Fay

Best running songs: Jesus Walks by Kanye West

"Jesus Walks" by Kanye West

Jesus had great abs. You never see a depiction of the guy without a six pack. Unfortunately most of us cannot rely on carpentry and fishing as a fitness regime, but leave it to Yeezus to turn sermonizing and suffering into an arena sport. This personal (and, yes, mildly egotistical) plea, arguably West's greatest song, doubles as an anabolic steroid. He masterfully samples the Arc Choir's "Walk With Me," turning the gospel hymn into a Marine march. It makes you feel ten feet tall. It puts length in your stride. Hut one two!—Brent DiCrescenzo

Best running songs: Baba O-Reiley by The Who

"Baba O'Riley" by the Who

Pete Townshend's 1971 track (originally written for the band's second rock opera, which was eventually scrapped) is a crashing rock anthem with an instrumental buildup that's perfect for setting your pace—and your mindset—before the beat drops. Although it's about the desolation and wasted potential of drugged out teens, the song is strangely uplifting—not to mention easy to run to. Oh, and getting wasted on running is totally a thing. Ever heard of runner's high? —Kate Wertheimer

Best running songs: Pump it Up by Elvis Costello

"Pump It Up" by Elvis Costello

Costello's 1978 single may seem a bit subdued (especially given its refrain), but the beat is so perfect for a steady running pace that we could literally do miles with it on repeat. It's poppy enough to keep us light on our feet, and gets a bolstered chorus and set of chords just when we're getting lazy. It also happens to be about releasing sexual frustration, which running is great for (though admittedly not as great as, er, pumping it).—Kate Wertheimer

Best running songs: Ace of Spades by Motorhead

"Ace of Spades" by Mötorhead

When Lemmy fires up that rumbling bass intro—the aural equivalent of exhaust fumes bellowing out of a tailpipe—sitting still ceases to be an option. You've got to move, and while an obnoxious Harley hog might be the most appropriate mode of transportation, your feet will do just fine. So let Phil "Philthy Animal" Taylor's hellhound gallop set the pace, and get off your arse.—Hank Shteamer

Best running songs: Stronger by Kanye West

"Stronger" by Kanye West

Kanye makes no bones about lifting the hook of Daft Punk's robot-disco anthem "Harder Better Faster Stronger" for his jacked-up 2007 tune. As you're running along, questioning the meaning of life and asking what this is all for, take a lesson from Ye, who, despite the seemingly effortless borrowing, obsessed over the single's mixing and production. It's a process, people!—Andrew Frisicano

Best running songs: Red Morning Light by Kings of Leon

"Red Morning Light" by Kings of Leon

Yes, there really was a time when Kings of Leon were not churning out zero-enthusiasm lite-rock albums and marrying Victoria’s Secret models. The group’s 2003 debut album, Youth and Young Manhood, throbbed with sweaty teenage dreams and ragged guitar licks. Cue up “Red Morning Light” on your Nano, run as fast as you can and punch the air—like the straggly champion you are.—Sophie Harris

Best running songs: Paint it Black by The Rolling Stones

"Paint It Black" by the Rolling Stones

People run for exercise, for fun, for fresh air, sure, but sometimes we’re running something down—a bitterness or rage that needs to be expressed and exhausted. The Rolling Stones’ death-obsessed 1966 hit is ideal for that purpose: exercise as exorcism. The song may be most notable for Brian Jones’ groundbreaking sitar line, but Charlie Watts’ drums give it a relentless forward motion that bursts with fresh despair at each chorus. If you can’t outrun death, at least you can outpace it for a while.—Adam Feldman

Best running songs: 212 by Azelia Banks

"212" by Azealia Banks feat. Lazy Jay

Banks' 2011 track has a good beat, for sure, but it's her rapping style that drives the song—and us while we're running to it. There's an undeniable attitude in the music, the artist and her practically lazy, swear-laced threats that makes us want to get up in someone's face and fight—even if in reality we're just pounding the pavement.—Kate Wertheimer

Best running songs: Drunk Girls by LCD Soundsystem

"Drunk Girls" by LCD Soundsystem

Okay, we'll agree that running and dancing are two very distinct ways of moving our bodies. But this 2010 track—and most LCD songs in general—blur the lines and make your run feel like a party. It's easy to keep your feet moving for the fast-paced four minutes, but if you find yourself flagging, pretend those antagonistic panda furries from the music video are after you with spraypaint and eggs.—Kate Wertheimer

Best running songs: All My Life by Foo Fighters

"All My Life" by Foo Fighters

If you need a little motivation to get you from the point of warming up (i.e. walking fast and fiddling with your iPod) to actually pounding the track, cue up this fiery Foo’s number from 2002. Its starting-block intro rumbles with pent-up energy, before a starter-pistol explosion hurls you into your running zone. Even the most normally tranquil athletes will find themselves singing along to Grohl’s defiant refrain—“Done! Done! On to the next one!”—and that’s a promise.—Sophie Harris

Best running songs: Such Great Heights by The Postal Service

"Such Great Heights" by the Postal Service

Is your pace lagging? Feeling a little drained? Perhaps there's a hill ahead. Don't worry—this much-loved 2003 hit from the Postal Service hits the sweet spot of running cadence. In layman’s terms: let your feet hit the pavement on the beat of this song and you’ll be out of your mid-run funk in no time.—Sara Fay

Best running songs: Antichrist Television Blues by Arcade Fire

“Antichrist Television Blues” by Arcade Fire

Arcade Fire may have intended to make a grand statement about the absurdity of modern life and its attendant joys and tragedies, which in fact, they did do—but the Montreal rockers also delivered a solid gold running album with 2007’s Neon Bible, driven by propulsive beats and teary, go-faster drama. Inspired by Jessica Simpson, “Antichrist Television Blues” plays like a wild-eyed, amped-up, super-dark Springsteen anthem. If you’re beginning to flag on your run, it’ll give you the extra boost you need and then some.—Sophie Harris

Best running songs: Run Run Run by The Who

"Run Run Run" by the Who

Just watching Keith Moon drum takes your breath away—it's impossible to imagine sustaining that level of gonzo energy for an entire song, let alone a gig. Slip this opening cut from the Who's 1966 sophomore album, A Quick One, into your running mix and hopefully some of that manic force transfers to your limbs. Bounding along to Moon's splashy racket keeps those knees high, those arms pumping… okay, yes, sometimes we air drum while jogging.—Brent DiCrescenzo

Best running songs: Born to Run by Bruce Springsteen

"Born to Run" by Bruce Springsteen

Get into the headspace of Bruce's nameless protagonist: stuck in turnpike traffic with everyone else who's trying to flee the same depressing Jersey town, trying to sweet talk Wendy who's actually probably doing just fine thanks very much. It's about as frazzled and out-of-sorts as the Boss gets, a state of mind that mirrors how you're feeling right before the runner's high kicks in.—Andrew Frisicano

Best running songs: Wolf Like Me by TV on the Radio

"Wolf Like Me" by TV on the Radio

This 2006 track—the band's most successful single here in the U.S.—has a driving beat and propelling lyrics, making it easy to pick up your pace and focus in on the task at hand. Or foot, rather. The song is like a mini-workout in itself, with a slower and more subdued midsection to give your legs a break before picking back up and compelling you to fly through the very last second.—Kate Wertheimer

Best running songs: Runnin' by Sinkane

"Runnin'" by Sinkane

Sudanese percussionist and Yeasayer, Caribou collaborator Ahmed Gallab jumped out of the solo career starting blocks with this slice of confectionary Afrobeat. "Gotta keep on runnin', runnin'," he sings in a sweet falsetto over funky wah-wah and cassette tape warble. The secret to the best jogging music is that it's interchangeable with great dance music. Nothing Gallab has made in the years since this 2012 debut has matched its irresistibility—but nothing has to. He's earned a place on every running mix. —Brent DiCrescenzo

Best running songs: Go Your Own Way by Fleetwood Mac

"Go Your Own Way" by Fleetwood Mac

Really, most classic California driving songs—their pop sound usually equated with cruising down the PCH in the mandarin haze of a sunset—could secretly be running soundtracks. A bunch of Mac tunes seem like the whispers of a zen personal trainer: "Don't Stop," "Never Going Back Again," "Skies the Limit." "Go Your Own Way" reads like an anthem for a cross country race. Blaze that trail! Attack that hill! Listen to this and try not to think of kicking up gold dust in Griffith Park.—Brent DiCrescenzo

Best running songs: Race with the Devil by Girlschool

"Race with the Devil" by Girlschool

Forget your fancy Nike Free Flyknit 3.0 shoes. You really want to fly down the sidewalk? Pour this scorching she-devil headbanger into your intake valves. Girlschool, a London all-female hair metal outfit, slays like a halberd coated in strawberry pink acrylic on this 1980 cover of an equally ripping 1968 proto-punk blazer by the Gun. For those who jog like they're being chased, it's like sprinting on hot coals.—Brent DiCrescenzo

Best running songs: Don't Stop Til You Get Enough by Michael Jackson

"Don't Stop Til You Get Enough" by Michael Jackson

This, one of the all-time greatest get-off-your-ass grooves, might actually be terrible fitness advice. We can't imagine a trainer saying, "Stop when you get enough." Because your body gets enough rather quickly: Set out on a 5K trek first thing in the a.m. and your calves are complaining by mile one. It's about pushing through. You want to feel the burn? Don't stop until well after you get enough. Fortunately, this godly disco classic is an immediate runner's high—Michael could get us moonwalking an entire marathon.—Brent DiCrescenzo

Best running songs: The Distance by Cake

"The Distance" by Cake

Could there be a better way to start your run than with John McCrea’s deadpanned opening words? When the bass kicks in on Cake's 1996 track, it's time to go. The driving jam (pun intended) is a great lead-off track—you might not be going for speed, but you’re definitely going the distance. Yaa!—Sara Fay

Suspect in attempted murder case arrested in Kentucky

Suspect in attempted murder case arrested in Kentucky

August 17th, 2018 by Staff Report in Breaking News

A Chattanooga man wanted for attempted first-degree murder has been arrested in Kentucky.

Aaron Jackson, 19, was located Thursday morning at an apartment in Danville, Kentucky, according to a Facebook post by the Danville Police Department.

The arrest stemmed from a shots fired call on July 13 in the 2500 block of 6th Ave Court, according to Chattanooga police.

Bullet casings were found and evidence was processed which linked Jackson to the incident, and as a result, a warrant for his arrest was obtained.

Danville police officers assisted the U.S. Marshal Service in taking him into custody without incident.

Jackson is being held in the Boyle County Detention Center pending extradition back to Chattanooga.

As a result of the July incident, Jackson was placed on Hamilton County's 12 most wanted fugitives, according to a sheriff's office spokesman.

Individuals are posted on the list based on what their warrants/charges are, regardless of which jurisdiction within Hamilton County they are issued, not just sheriff's office cases.

This is a developing story.

It took Mary Shertenlieb more than 13 hours to finish the Boston Marathon after cold, pounding rain led her through some unexpected detours.

But even after her lips turned purple and her body shook with chills, and medical tent nurses urged her to quit, Shertenlieb knew she could finish.

“I kept thinking, I've done harder things than this. I’ve had cancer three times. I can surely, mentally, do this,” the 42-year-old leukemia survivor told TODAY.

In the end, she took an unconventional route to reach her goal.

Shertenlieb ran Monday’s marathon, her first, to raise money for the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston, the renowned treatment and research center where she was a patient.

The Boston mother of two started her training last September, although she was sidetracked by a broken toe, shingles and a few other health problems. Still, she felt ready by April 16, aside from the deluge that greeted her and other runners shortly after 11 a.m.

Shertenlieb had prepared tricks, like duct taping her shoes to keep them waterproof, but nothing worked. Rain poured down her back despite the rain jacket and poncho she wore. A change of clothes along the way didn’t help because they got drenched within minutes.

Around mile 13, Shertenlieb and a friend ducked into a medical tent where she knew one of the nurses.

“I was shaking a little bit and she's like, ‘Mary your lips are purple. You need to stay in and warm up. I don't think you should go back out,’” she said. “She said there was a bus coming to pick up all the people in the med tent."

Shertenlieb headed back onto the course instead. At mile 15, she ran into another medical tent, where she again was advised to take a shuttle back to the base.

“It infuriated me because I trained so hard for this. And I've gone through so many tougher things,” she said. “They were like, ‘It looks like you have the beginning signs of hypothermia and if you stay out there, you could get really sick.’”

After learning the next medical tent was another two miles away, Shertenlieb and her friend decided to head back out. They soon ran into her friend’s father, who quickly led the women into a Dunkin' Donuts to warm up. It was there Shertenlieb admitted to herself that she was risking her health to continue.

On the verge of tears, she called her husband, who was waiting for her a few miles ahead, to come pick her up.

But her husband, Rich Shertenlieb, who hosts a local radio sports show, had an idea.

“He said, ‘How about we bring you home, back to Boston … You can take a warm shower and get some real clothes on,’” she said.

He suggested they would then take a cab back to that same spot around 8 p.m., when the rain and wind were forecast to stop.

“He said, ‘We'll do 15.5 and go all the way to the finish line. We'll do it together and you'll be safe,'" she recalled.

She took her husband up on the offer and the couple went home. After a quick dinner with their children, they returned to the Dunkin' Donuts store they left hours earlier and made their way to the finish line in the dark.

“We joked that it was the best and most insane date that we've ever been on,” Shertenlieb said.

Her husband had posted social media updates about their evening plans, alerting friends who ended up surprising her along the route with encouragement and bottled water.

Shertenlieb eventually reached crossed the finish line at 12:18 a.m. Tuesday. Several friends and race volunteers where there to greet her, despite the fact that the marathon had officially ended hours ago.

“It was just overwhelming. I'm not a big crier, but I just burst into tears,” she said. “I never thought I would feel this happy being in last place!”

Shertenlieb already met a $15,000 fundraising goal for Dana-Farber, but once news spread about her unusual marathon path, donations poured in. She has since raised more than $41,000.

Shertenlieb was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia in February 2013. She relapsed twice after her initial treatment and also underwent a stem cell transplant after transferring her care to Dana-Farber. She has been cancer-free since August 2014.

“The third time that I had leukemia, they used this drug that was really experimental because nothing else was really working on me,” she said. “Dana-Farber saved my life. They gave me so many extra years that I wouldn't possibly have.”

Although the reality of finishing her first marathon turned out far different than what she envisioned, Shertenlieb said she wouldn’t have changed a thing.

“Just because it's different than how you planned it doesn't mean it's not going to be absolutely incredible and way better than you originally picture," she said.

“I imagined myself crossing that finish line and I crossed it differently and I crossed it last, but I feel so much more fulfilled having it this way.”

The Time it Takes to be Created:

To paint your Abraham Hendrickz van Beyeren Hand-Painted Art Reproduction time is needed. The painting should not be made too hastily, nor should any deadlines be pursued.

Depending on the complexity, the level of detail, and the size of the painting, we'll need 6-7 weeks to make the painting.
Should a change of deadlines become necessary, or should your order arrive at a time when we are overloaded with work, then we will notify you by e-mail concerning how much time we would need to complete your painting reproduction.

We do not frame our oil painting reproductions. Hand-Painted Art Reproduction is an expensive product, and the risks of damaging a painting stretched on a frame during transportation are too high.

Quick, Dirty, & Fundamentally Mean: Eighties Horror Book The Hellbound Heart

So many of the important horror novels of the eighties were big books, tomes like It and Dan Simmons’s 1989 novel Carrion Comfort. So, I thought, it might be nice to wrap up this eighties horror reread by giving you all something quick to consider for dessert, a book you might easily find time to reread yourselves. This line of thought is what brought me to Clive Barker’s quick and astringent The Hellbound Heart.

Coming in at a bantamweight 150 pages and change, The Hellbound Heart is the story of Frank, a jaded sensualist who has seen and done it all. Having lost interest in the workaday world of kink, he summons the strange and dangerous Cenobites, hoping they can help him discover otherworldly extremes of pleasure. Unfortunately, the Cenobite concept of fun doesn’t mesh at all with the human nervous system, and they’re definitely playing without a safe word… so instead of endless smutty fun, all Frank gets is a one-way ticket to eternal torment.

Now in a sense this is okay, because Frank is not all that nice a guy. He seduced his brother’s wife on the eve of their wedding, destroying whatever slim chance at happiness the two of them might have had. It’s no great tragedy when his quest for pleasure brings him to ruin. However, the house where he meets the Cenobites  and where a small sliver of his consciousness remains, trapped and forced to look out at the world he left behind  is co-owned by his brother Rory and his by-now miserable wife, Julia. After Frank disappears, the two of them move in.

Julia senses a presence in the house right away, and it doesn’t take her long to work out that it’s Frank. She’s been dreaming about him ever since their first encounter. With a little luck and a lot of obsessing, she comes up with a plan to free him. All she needs is a little blood to open the dimensional portal.

Okay, actually, a lot of blood.

The Hellbound Heart is an intense little book, a tightly locked chamber of story with only four characters: Frank, Julia, Rory, and Rory’s hapless friend Kirsty. It can be seen as yet another gender-reversed (though gorier than usual) retelling of Sleeping Beauty, with Julia as the handsome prince, seeking a reunion with Frank. Acting out of an unbearable weight of despair over her mistake in marrying Rory, she shows herself to be ruthless and undauntable.

Kirsty, meanwhile, emerges as a sort of marginalized heroine. Where Julia is gorgeous, charming and facile, Kirsty is plain, socially awkward, and has nothing but loyalty to recommend her to Rory, though she loves him desperately. Unappetizing though she may be, she’s smart enough to discern that Julia’s up to something  though she figures, at first, that it’s adultery. When she stumbles upon the horrific truth, she is forced to fight tooth and nail  to survive.

In Julia and Kirsty we see another inversion of more traditional storytelling about women. Julia can be viewed as a sick version of a self-martyring nurturer type, willing to do anything for the sake of her beloved. Of course her beloved isn’t actually the guy she married, he’s pretty much doomed, and there’s nothing to admire in her ready bloodletting for Frank. Kirsty, on the other hand, is just running from the carnage. She’s no Ripley, out to save the crew, cats, and kids from becoming collatoral damage. Her fight only takes on heroic dimensions because the fate that awaits her is so very horrific.

There is often a lot of nobility and optimism to be found in horror fiction. It is a literature about terror, true, but in many of the great works of this genre, evil is balanced by the best qualities of its mortal opposition  by the good within whoever shows up to represent against the darkness. It is a literature that squarely faces human mortality. We all die, it reminds us, and nothing we do in the meantime to define ourselves can alter that fact. It’s a celebration of the idea of whistling in the dark.

What’s also true about horror fiction is that any given representative of the genre is usually going to have a few pockets of deep, hair-curling nastiness… where those good qualities of the heroic characters are momentarily overwhelmed by their frailties. You get those icky moments in other genres, of course  there’s a fair number of them in literary fiction, for example. But because horror’s very nature mandates that it examine the darkest recesses of the human soul, the incidence of those nasty moments seems, to me, a little higher.

I’m not necessarily talking about gore, understand. I’m talking more about incidents where human pettiness intersects with violence or cruelty in ways that are especially awful, where the only outlook is bleak. Where what is revealed isn’t altruism or courage or perseverance or even a morally gray quality like righteous revenge, but merely a slice of awfulness that makes one feel, however briefly, that our existence as a species might have no value at all.

In long horror novels, when this nastiness runs too deep, it overwhelms the other, laudable things. It’s too much to read at a hundreds-of-pages stretch. You then get those books that don’t necessarily succeed, that are deeply disturbing and don’t offer any emotional counterbalance. (Stephen King has spoken about being uncomfortable with the horrifically bleak outcome of Pet Sematary, for example, and the story goes he only submitted it for publication because his contract required it.)

Most of the horror novels I like do offer a thread of that nastiness, bundled within a whole bunch of other things. Even so, there are unremittingly nasty shorter pieces that do work… because, I suppose, they offer a smaller dose of bitter ichor. Michael Swanwick’s “The Dead,” is one of my favorites, as is Pat Cadigan’s “Roadside Rescue.”

The Hellbound Heart is a third.

It’s quick. It’s dirty. It’s a fundamentally mean story. Kirsty’s fight for self-preservation is laudable, but it’s a tiny victory, on the scale of a bug not creaming itself on someone’s windshield. This book is one of those artistic experiences that doesn’t leave you comfortable  you walk away wide awake, a bit disturbed, and grateful for whatever sanity or normality your life may hold.

It’s also thoroughly absorbing. As always, Clive Barker pulls you right into his characters’ minds and makes even the unimaginable seem like it might be lurking behind the nearest locked door.

A.M. Dellamonica has a short story up here on Tor.com  an urban fantasy about a baby werewolf, “The Cage” which made the Locus Recommended Reading List for 2010.

We're all busy, and many of us struggle to balance work, family and personal well-being, especially in the meetings and convention business. So at Tourism Vancouver, we wanted to help our clients both professionally and personally. Of course, we wanted to show our clients all Vancouver has to offer, but we also wanted to help them achieve a personal goal that pushed them out of their comfort zone. To do this, we invited a group of meetings professionals to join us for a weekend of exploring and reaching a new goal - running the SeaWheeze half marathon.

Organized by Vancouver-based lululemon athletica, the SeaWheeze Half Marathon is held every August and describes itself as "yoga, run, party." Tourism Vancouver partnered with the Westin Bayshore, the Vancouver Hotel Destination Association, and Business Events Canada to create a weekend program designed to allow participants to push themselves, celebrate their success, as well as relax.

Preparation started in April, when participants from across Canada and the United States were invited to join the Vancouver SeaWheeze FAM "team." Training began in May, with team members given access to run clubs through their local lululemon store at home, as well as the SeaWheeze training app. In addition, Tourism Vancouver hosted a Facebook page with running and wellness tips from staff, as well as the lululemon team. This coaching tool was designed to motivate and cultivate team spirit.

After a summer of training, the team met face-to-face for the first time in Vancouver and it was a bonding experience like no other. We kicked off our three-day FAM with a fun run lead by Westin's Run Concierge and lululemon's Run Ambassadors, which helped us warm-up our legs and get to know each other while running part of the Stanley Park seawall. That night, our team relaxed and chatted over a beautiful family-style dinner with the staff and chefs at the Vancouver Convention Centre. After all, there's nothing that brings people together like a good meal and shared experience!

Day two was the "business" part of the FAM, but we made sure that we also made time for the lululemon Seawheeze activities, including "Nooner Yoga." After our yoga session, we set out on hotel site inspections, followed by a culinary tour of the Granville Island Public Market focused on healthy and sustainable eating led by Chef Julian of Pacific Institute of Culinary Arts. Our pre-race dinner at Market by Jean George in the Shangri-La Hotel was customized to help us fuel-up for the next day!

On the morning of the SeaWheeze half marathon, our team enjoyed the pre-race experience together, but when it came time to race time, everyone was encouraged to achieve their own goals at their own pace. We came together again after the run to celebrate and share stories over a post-race brunch hosted by the Westin Bayshore. After time to relax and recover that afternoon, we feasted on a post-run dinner of chicken and waffles at Prestons Restaurant in the Coast Coal Harbour Hotel, then set off for the official celebration event, the SeaWheeze Sunset Festival down at Stanley Park! We relaxed with a huge group yoga class followed by three amazingly fun, energetic bands that we danced the night away to.

On Sunday, it was time to bid our team a fond farewell. We came together one last time for an early breakfast at Hawksworth Restaurant in the Rosewood Hotel Georgia before saying a long goodbye to our team mates. They came to Vancouver as strangers but left as family.

Thank you to all the clients and partners involved!

Elephants learning to secretly migrate at night and chat about safety

Public Domain | Elephants are flocking to safe places, like Chobe National Park in Botswana shown here.

We may be killing them at an abysmal rate, but these smart and social creatures seem to have a plan.

The elephant situation is just shameful. These smart and social creatures are the tragic victims of man’s inexplicable lust for tusks. While there were possibly more than 2 million in Africa at the beginning of the 20th century, their numbers now hover in the lower end of the 100,000s. The population of savannah elephants dropped by 144,000 members from 2007 to 2014 alone.

While elephants are incredibly smart, they are sadly not much of a match against poachers and the weapons they use, from A47s to cyanide-laced watermelons. But as it turns out, they are still finding incredible ways to outsmart the poachers nonetheless.

Kanika Saigal writes for Quartz how threatened elephants that live in dangerous countries are deciding to migrate to safe places, like the Chobe National Park in northern Botswana – a sprawling 4,517 square mile (11,700 square kilometers) sanctuary where elephants can live their elephant lives without having to worry about being shot from a helicopter.

“Botswana is now home to roughly 130,000 elephants – a third of Africa’s entire elephant population,” Saigal writes. “This is an increase of over 30,000 elephants in Botswana since 1995 against a backdrop of declining numbers across the continent.”

Which of course begs the questions: How do they get there and how do they know where to go in the first place?

The short answer is that they have figured out to travel safely and they communicate their lessons to one another along the way.

“Elephants are using well-known migratory routes into Botswana to flee threats from neighboring countries,” says Mark Hiley, cofounder of the UK-based nonprofit National Park Rescue. “The systematic movement of elephants into Botswana is linked to their survival.”

Amazingly, researchers have discovered that some elephants in sub-Saharan Africa have started to travel at night – which would be otherwise very unusual for an elephant – to avoid poaching, which happens during the day. But they also seem to be sharing survival tips with one another as well. Saigal writes:

Indeed, it’s not just where elephants are going that’s of interest to researchers, but when, and how they’re communicating about it within groups, between herds, and across generations.

It appears that elephants have developed a sophisticated system of communication. For the sake of brevity I generically call it "chatting" in the title above, but they have a complicated array of messaging methods; gestures, sounds, infrasound, and even chemical secretions.

“Through various means, elephants can suggest that the group moves on, that they sense danger, or that they are in distress,” says Iain Douglas-Hamilton, founder of Save the Elephants.

Saigal cites cases in which elephants who have endured severe conflict with humans remain wary of them and communicate that fear to their offspring and the generations that follow. And they can even tell the difference between various groups of humans to distinguish friends and foes.

“For instance, elephants in Kenya’s Amboseli National Park, near the Tanzanian border in the south, have shown the ability to distinguish between the voices and scents of potentially threatening spear-carrying Maasai warriors with those of less threatening farming tribes,” Saigal writes.

The Quartz piece goes into much more detail about research, technology, and the hope of better understanding these animals who are suffering enormously thanks to human folly. But the quick takeaway here? Elephants have a few tricks up their sleeves and seem to have a plan. Now if they could just learn how to lace a poacher's lunch with cyanide.

For more, read the whole piece at Quartz.

The July Nine Reusable Bag Conveniently Rolls Up into Itself

 - Jul 30, 2013
References: julynine & kickstarter
There are a lot of eco-friendly bags out there, but none have the luxury and convenience of the July Nine Reusable Bag.

Designed by July Nine, a company focused on creating unique American-made products, the bag is not only Earth-conscious but can also fold into a neat compact ball when not in use. The bag's leather handle also gives the design an upscale feel which most reusable bags are definitely lacking. The designer came up with the idea when he found himself bagless and relying on his girlfriend, so he "started thinking about a bag that rolled up into it's handle, eliminating the need for stuff sacks and something that reflects a modern style."

The July Nine Reusable Bag is currently on Kickstarter.

Programmer Roundtable: First Time Documentary Filmmakers

TFF Programmer Genna Terranova sat down with some talents new to the doc world to get their thoughts on their work and the industry at large.

Tribeca Senior Programmer Genna Terranova had the chance to ask some of our very talented documentary filmmakers (Alexis Manya Spraic, director of Shadow Billionaire, Nicole Opper, director of Off and Running, Laura Bari, director of Antoine, and Leslie Cockburn, director of American Casino) a few quick questions about making their first feature length documentary. Below is a great slice of their extensive conversations.

Shadow Billionaire still
Shadow Billionaire

Genna Terranova: What made you want to take the leap and make a feature documentary about this specific subject matter?

Alexis Manya Spraic (Shadow Billionaire): I first learned about the story behind my film, Shadow Billionaire, when I was in high school. I held onto the article, but it was years later when I decided to make it my first feature. I loved the idea of starting with this story. I thought it would be an opportunity to make a film dealing with the ramifications of American exceptionalism that was entertaining rather than didactic.

Nicole Opper (Off and Running): I went to film school, and in my thesis project I included young students at a school in Brooklyn. That was where I met Avery and her family. Then, six years after meeting Avery, I contacted her family to discuss the idea of a film. I’ve always been drawn to movies that explore the nature of identity and family.

Laura Bari (Antoine): I was at the gym, supervising a Japanese student. I saw children from dissimilar cultures, four and five years old. I saw a deaf boy playing basketball, then another deaf girl running, and then I saw Antoine, who looked very disappointed. I was not looking for Antoine, or for a subject. At that time, I was working on other subject.

Leslie Cockburn (American Casino): After making seven hourlong news documentaries for CBS, Frontline and ABC, and dozens of shorter films, I was ready to leap into the unknown with a documentary feature. In January 2008, my co-producer Andrew Cockburn and I could see the large cracks under Wall Street. It was one of those moments when you just say, “Let’s take the risk.”

Off and Running still
Off and Running

Genna Terranova: It always amazes me how incredibly patient doc filmmakers need to be in their craft. How do you do it?

Alexis Manya Spraic: I think it is important to be deeply invested in your material going in—otherwise, it's hard to keep up that momentum.  What I love about documentary is that there are so few rules to follow that there are infinite ways to improvise when inevitably things turn out differently than you expected.

Nicole Opper: It was actually more challenging to find the discipline to stop shooting and put the camera down than it was to keep going for all those years. After all, the coming-of-age process takes a lifetime. So when you love your character as I did, there can be a temptation to create a Michael Apted series.

Laura Bari: The whole story is a balance between a child’s real time, my poetry, his sounds, my images and our movements. All are an important part of the structure, I wanted to explore new combinations, and a new forms of improvisations for the shootings.

Leslie Cockburn: I am a born observer. I suppose it’s a combination of boundless curiosity and skepticism about looking through someone else’s lens.

Antoine still

Genna Terranova: Often, documentary filmmaking can feel like you are operating in a bubble. How do you keep perspective and involve other points of view in your filmmaking process?

Alexis Manya Spraic: It helps to work with a team of people who understand your original vision for the film. I also like to get the film out of the cutting room as much as possible. I’ve never found a more effective method to make the material fresh again.

Nicole Opper: Broadening my perspective was a priority from the beginning. I was well-aware of the ways I felt connected to Avery and her story and the ways in which our experiences were worlds apart. I tried to assemble a diverse team of filmmakers that could relate to Avery in ways I could not.

Leslie Cockburn: I am one of those directors who edit a great deal in the camera. While we are shooting I can already see how to put together the sequence. I really just plow ahead, stubbornly holding on to that vision, hoping that it will resonate in the first rough cut screening.

American Casino still
American Casino

Genna Terranova: What documentaries other than your own have you been thinking about lately?

Alexis Manya Spraic:
I recently saw a documentary by Orson Welles called F for Fake and have since watched it several times.

Nicole Opper: The Cats of Mirikitani is one of my favorite recent films, and it’s been on my mind.

Leslie Cockburn:I am excited about seeing several documentaries at Tribeca. Fixer hits close to home because I have worked a lot in Afghanistan.

Genna Terranova: It is amazing how people open their lives to documentary filmmakers. How do you build trust with your subjects?

Alexis Manya Spraic: In general, when I approach people to be in my films I usually let them interview me, before I get too detailed about why I want to talk to them. I think it helps to let people get to know you as a person and to give them a sense of who they are talking to beyond just some person making a film. I try to be as open as I’m hoping they will be.

Nicole Opper: For me the key was to simply listen without judgement. So a little time spent listening went a long way. The other key to building trust was the interactive, collaborative process we built with Avery.

Laura Bari: I like and love people. It is my fascination to observe them, to get in contact when the differences are such news for me.

Leslie Cockburn: I build trust by coming back. We went to work with them, filmed in their car, filmed in the kitchen with the family. It is very intimate. You build a bond that is very special and there are certain responsibilities that go along with that.

Genna Terranova: Tribeca will be your first time your film shows in front of a public audience. What are your thoughts about that?

Alexis Manya Spraic: Getting it out there is scary, but it also feels like the natural progression of things. I‘m looking forward to a sense of closure on the film once it is in front of an audience.

Nicole Opper: That it's both exhilarating and a little scary, but it’s the first step on a long journey to accomplish what we really dream of for the film.

Leslie Cockburn: I am terrified but very excited. I want this film to wash over people so that they see things clearly that have been obscure or confused.

John McEnroe: In the Realm of Perfection

Genre:  Documentary

Current rating: no reviews
Rate Movie | Not yet Reviewed

JOHN MCENROE: IN THE REALM OF PERFECTION revisits the rich bounty of 16-mm-shot footage of the left-handed tennis star John McEnroe, at the time the world's top-ranked player, as he competes in the French Open at Paris's Roland Garros Stadium.

Close-ups and slow motion sequences of McEnroe competing, as well as instances of his notorious temper tantrums, highlight a "man who played on the edge of his senses.

Far from a traditional documentary, Faraut probes the archival film to unpack both McEnroe's attention to the sport and the footage itself, creating a lively and immersive look at a driven athlete, a study on the sport of tennis and the human body and movement, and finally how these all intersect with cinema itself.

Why is it so hard to find something healthy that doesn’t compromise on taste? There’s no shortage of options that are healthy and options that are mouth watering, but most fail to bring these two worlds together. At Easy Health, we believe in serving food that’s good in EVERY way. Easy Health is the first restaurant in Thailand to reform continental and thai meals with healthier, fresh and unique flavors. We provide food and drinks for athletes but our food and drinks are also for non athletes who just want to eat healthy. Everyday we get delivered fresh ingredients from our suppliers so we can offer the best fresh taste for all our customers. Our meats, vegetables and fruits are partly organic as we want to keep the price affordable for our customers. We use home made sauces and dressings for all our food without artificial colors or flavors, processed sugars and MSG. Visit us and try our delicious meals.r

We ordered Margarita pizza, the dough was thin and crispy. Freshly made, i enjoyed every single bite of it. We ordered Bolognese pasta, it was okay, it comes a selected drink, ours was iced tea with peach, it was sweet and refreshing!

Nice cafe, the best location overlooking the Cascade, and the artworks exhibited around the walkway. We were there for an afternoon tea and shared a slice of cake. The teas and coffees were very good, the cake was average. Service was very attentive and fast....More
