Jeb Bush to Romney: Connect emotionally to voters

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) ? Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush is urging Republican Mitt Romney to connect to people emotionally if he hopes to persuade voters to support him.

Bush spoke on ABC's "Good Morning America" in advance of Romney's address to the Republican National Convention Thursday night.

He notes that Romney will have to show more of himself. Bush says that will be hard for Romney because he's not suddenly going to come across in a "new age kind of way."

Bush also stresses that Republicans shouldn't do anything "stupid." He says the party must acknowledge the nation's increasing diversity when addressing issues of immigration and creating a climate of economic growth.

He says that if the political parties ignore demographics, "you do it at your peril."

Children who snore should be evaluated for ... - Fitness for Health

Children who snore should be evaluated for sleep apnea. That?s the main recommendation from a series of updated guidelines, published by the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP).

?The evidence is much stronger today,? said Dr. Carole Marcus, professor of pediatrics at Children?s Hospital of Philadelphia. ?Pediatricians should routinely ask parents about snoring and if they do, parents should mention,? he advised. ?In children, snoring may be a sign of a serious medical illness.?


Marcus referred to the sleep apnea, characterized by pauses in breathing that occur throughout the night and disturb sleep. When left untreated, sleep apnea in children can result in learning and behavioral difficulties and can also affect growth. Those consequences are related mostly to the lack of quality sleep.

Researchers led by Marcus reviewed studies on the diagnosis and management of sleep apnea in children, published between 1999 and 2011. Most appeared after the publication of the last guidelines in 2002. The new guidelines are published in the September issue of the journal Pediatrics.

If a child snores, pediatricians should follow up with a complete history and examination, he noted. ?If all this points to sleep apnea, a sleep study indicated,? Marcus raised. The gold standard for diagnosing sleep apnea is a formal sleep study but this is not always possible in young children because it results in a laboratory sleep away from home. Other options could include a sleep study at home, where children are connected to a monitor in the comfort of your room or ask parents to record video while sleeping child for what they believe could be an episode of apnea.

Many children with sleep apnea have enlarged tonsils and adenoids. In these children, the tonsils and adenoids may cure sleep apnea. Other treatments include pressure equipment for continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), which help keep the airway open during sleep. Some drugs may help treat sleep apnea.

Dr. Michael Rothschild, director of pediatric otolaryngology at Mount Sinai Medical Center in New York City, agreed that children who snore should be evaluated for sleep apnea. ?If your child snores, but have small tonsils and get a good history of the parents, and shows no signs of unease when I see a video recorded during the night, I feel assured that snoring is probably simple,? said. ?Not every child who snores need surgery.?

And surgery alone is not a cure for all children with sleep apnea, Rothschild said. Obesity increases among children and is related to sleep apnea. ?There are small tonsils obese children and lean children with large tonsils,? he said. In obese children, weight loss is also part of the treatment plan, and that surgery alone could not solve sleep apnea completely.

Water pipe smoking has the same respiratory effects as smoking cigarettes

ScienceDaily (Aug. 30, 2012) ? A new study published in the journal Respirology reveals that water pipe smoking, such as hookah or bong smoking, affects lung function and respiratory symptoms as much as cigarette smoking.

Most users of water pipes and many physicians believe that smoking through a water pipe filters out the toxic components of tobacco and is considerably less harmful than smoking cigarettes.

Led by Mohammad Hossein Boskabady, MD, PhD, of Mashhad University of Medical Sciences, researchers set out to compare lung function and respiratory symptoms among water pipe smokers, deep or normal inhalation cigarette smokers, and non-smokers.

Three groups of smokers, including 57 water pipe smokers, 30 deep inhalation cigarette smokers (S-DI), and 51 normal inhalation cigarette smokers (S-NI) were identified and studied. In addition, 44 non-smokers were studied as a control group.

A questionnaire was administered to assess the prevalence and severity of respiratory symptoms and lung function tests performed on smokers and control subjects using a spirometer.

Results showed an increased prevalence and severity of respiratory symptoms among water pipe smokers and cigarette smokers. Similareffects of water pipe smoking and deep inhalation cigarette smoking on respiratory status were found.

Wheezing was present in 23% of water pipe smokers, 30% in S-DI, and 21.6% in S-NI. Chest tightness was present in 36.8% of water pipe smokers, 40% in S-DI, and 29.4% in S-NI. Cough was present in 21% of water pipe smokers, 36..7% of S-DI, and 19.6% of S-NI. Wheezing, chest tightness, and cough only occurred in non-smokers 9.1%, 13.3% and 6.8% respectively.

"Our study is the first report regarding the importance of the method of cigarette smoke inhalation with respect to effects on the respiratory system," Boskabady concludes. "Our findings reveal that there were profound effects of water pipe smoking on lung function values, which were similar to the effects observed in deep inhalation cigarette smokers."

Experts blow up 550-pound WWII bomb found in Munich

Police in Munich say experts successfully detonated the remains of a 550-pound bomb from the Second World War on Tuesday evening.

By Andy Eckardt, NBC News

Updated at 6:56 p.m. ET: MAINZ, Germany -- Nearly 3,000 residents were evacuated from the heart of Munich after construction workers found an undetonated, 550-pound World War II bomb.

The evacuation, which affected several blocks in the busy party district of Schwabing, was ordered by local officials as a routine security measure.

Citing the dapd news agency, The Associated Press?reported that explosives experts detonated the remains of?the?bomb on Tuesday night.?Burning debris from the controlled explosion reportedly caused?fires in several nearby buildings that had been evacuated.

---

On Monday night,?experts from the Munich bomb disposal squad determined that the explosives were not equipped with a ?normal mechanism,? but a chemical, delayed-action detonator.

"It is an extremely dangerous device," Roman Leitow, a Munich fire department spokesman told NBC News.

?A specialist is presently trying to defuse the bomb with his team,? he added.

Leave immediately
Fire department officials went from door-to-door to enforce the evacuation, after fire trucks had passed through the streets, instructing residents with loudspeaker announcements to leave their homes immediately.

Diethard Posorski, of the bomb disposal team, stands next to an unexploded WW II bomb which was found at a construction site in Munich, Germany, Monday.

Experts from Munich fire department spent most of?Monday night shielding the bomb with sand, bales of straw and other insulating material, which would catch shrapnel and muffle the shock wave in case of an uncontrolled explosion.

Most of the evacuated residents spent the night with friends and family, but about 600 were brought to one of the three temporary shelters set up by in nearby schools by rescue teams. Red Cross workers handed out blankets and drinks.

Massive WWII bomb successfully defused

During World War II, Allied forces dropped nearly 2 million tons of bombs on Germany and experts estimate that between 5 to 15 percent of the bombs did not explode.

Somalia lawmakers select new speaker

MOGADISHU, Somalia (AP) ? Somalia's parliament Tuesday elected former labor minister Mohamed Osman Jawari as the new speaker, a key step toward the election of a president and the country's transition from a failed state to a nation with an effective government.

The process to select Somalia's next government has been criticized for corruption and threats of violence, international observers say. Nonetheless, some praise it as a watershed moment in the Horn of Africa nation's road to peace and stability.

While Somalia has had transitional administrations since 2004, it has not had a functioning central government since 1991, when warlords overthrew a longtime dictator and turned on each other, plunging the impoverished nation into chaos.

The last day of the eight-year U.N.-backed transitional government was Aug. 20 and the U.N. wanted a new president in place by then. But political bickering, violent threats and seat-buying schemes delayed progress toward the selection and seating of 275 members of the new Parliament that will select a president.

Jawari was elected the speaker of Parliament on Tuesday by just 228 legislators.

A group of Somali elders has been tasked with selecting the full list of 275 parliamentarians, but the election of the speaker went ahead without the complete number.

Jawari was challenged by Ali Khalif Galaydh, who had been Somalia's prime minister in 2000-2001 but led in the first round of voting. Galaydh pulled out in the second round, saying he favored Jawari for the post and Jawari was then declared the winner.

The U.N. special representative for Somalia, Augustine Mahiga, called Tuesday's election of a speaker "a moment of progress and optimism" and "an important step on the road to restoring accountable and participatory governance."

He said that some 260 members of Parliament have either been sworn in or are pending imminent ratification, and he urged that the 15 remaining lawmakers be selected and seated quickly so the election of a new president can take place "within 10 days."

Mahiga said the election of deputy speakers of Parliament will take place in the immediate future.

"The new federal Parliament must be allowed to exercise its authority with independence, transparency and free from undue influence and coercion," he said in a statement.

In a report to the U.N. Security Council circulated Tuesday, U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said the final months of the transitional government were "fraught with setbacks" but also characterized by formidable Somali and international efforts to establish "a more legitimate and representative government with new leadership and representative government with new leadership and institutions."

He said the election of the speaker, deputy speakers and a president "will offer Somalia a leadership with a new mandate to continue working on the peace process and the reconstruction of the country."

But Ban predicted "a rough and unpredictable road ahead" and expressed serious concern at reports of "corrupt practices and intimidation by those seeking to influence the political process."

The secretary-general warned that "establishing and maintaining stability and security in Somalia will not be easy."

"Many spoilers fear that an orderly society with established institutions of governance and rule of law will compromise their ill-gained privileges," he said.

Ban urged Somalis "to rise up to the challenge and, jointly with their leaders, start building a peaceful and prosperous country."

Finally Got To See A Musky Up Close, Thanks Casey

Posted: 28 Aug 2012 05:49 AM PDT

Many moons ago, back when I was about 20, I was with friends at their parent's cottage for a few days of vacation. I love being around water so early one morning while everyone was still fast asleep I walked to the end of their dock to enjoy the sunrise.

Something in the water to my left caught my attention. I stood up so I could get a better look and saw three huge musky swimming in my direction. They pasted so close to me I could have spit on them. That was the only time I've every seen musky, other than on in a picture or on TV.

Casey and I weren't on the water more than 15 minutes and Casey had a fish on. At first we thought it was maybe a pickerel but at closer examination we realized it was a musky. I finally had the opportunity to look at a musky up close.

I have to admit that I thought it would have fought harder but maybe it was the heat or maybe, just maybe, they don't fight so hard when they are only 7 inches long. Ha Ha

Scientists investigating AI-based traffic control, so we can only blame the jams on ourselves

Ever found yourself stuck at the lights convinced that whatever is controlling these things is just trying to test your patience, and that you could do a better job? Well, turns out you might -- at least partly -- be right. Researchers at the University of Southampton have just revealed that they are investigating the use of artificial intelligence-based traffic lights, with the hope that it could be used in next-generation road signals. The research uses video games and simulations to asses different traffic control systems, and apparently us humans do a pretty good job. The team at Southampton hope that they will be to emulate this human-like approach with new "machine learning" software. With cars already being tested out with WiFi, mobile connectivity and GPS on board for accident prevention, a system such as this could certainly have a lot of data to tap into. There's no indication as to when we might see a real world trial, but at least we're reminded, for once, that as a race we're not quite able to be replaced by robotic overlords entirely.

[Finance and Bank]Non-tax revenue drives up fiscal growth ...

TAGS?File,ALIGN,TEXT,revenue,government,revenue,tax,growth,economy

China?s national fiscal income increased 12.5 percent in the first four months this year, according to the Ministry of Finance. [File Photo]?

China?s government revenue is maintaining a relatively high growth speed despite a slowdown in the economy, with non-tax collections becoming the main driver of the expansion.

Among the 21 provinces that have published their fiscal data in the first four months this year, 17 have reported government income growing faster than 10 percent, with Tianjin leading the table at a growth rate of 27.3 percent.

According to the Ministry of Finance, the national fiscal income increased 12.5 percent in the first four months this year, when gross domestic product growth slowed to 8.1 percent in the first quarter.

The fiscal income growth rate was 18.9 percentage points less than that of the previous year, mainly because of retreating tax revenues that have decelerated 22.4 percentage points from last year.

However, non-tax revenue surged 52.8 percent in the first four months this year, becoming a main driver of the fiscal revenue increments.

A total of 188.9 billion yuan ($29.87 billion) more of non-tax revenues were collected in the first four months in 2012 compared with last year, which accounted for more than 40 percent of the fiscal income growth.

?Tax and fiscal revenue have always been key factors in the assessment of local governments,? said Wang Yongjun, a researcher with the Central University of Finance and Economics.

?To maintain the fiscal income growth amid the economic slowdown and structural tax cuts, some local authorities will explore the potential in non-tax collections.?

Ninth Circuit Upholds $5M Verdict against Vision Airlines for Stealing Crew?s Hazard Pay

Las Vegas Attorney Ross Goodman helps secure hazard pay and punitive damages.

Las Vegas, NV (PRWEB) August 24, 2012

Last July 18, the Ninth Circuit upheld the $5.2 million class action verdict against Vision Airlines Inc., a government subcontractor which was found to have stolen its crew?s hazard pay for flying into warzones. (Case number 11-15761, Gerald Hester et al. v. Vision Airlines Inc., in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit)

Moreover, the appeals court ruled that the class can pursue claiming additional punitive damages from the company, remanding it for future proceedings. It also approved of the sanction against Vision for deliberately delaying required documents and gave them a default liability judgment. (Cited from court-published document viewable at http://goodmanlawgroup.com/file/Decision-07-18-2012.pdf)

The court also recommended that Vision Airlines attorney Harold Gewerter be reported to the state bar for having ?committed numerous ethical violations? during the case proceedings, noting that disbarment might be in order.

The class action suit was filed by retired US Navy Captain Gerald Hester in January 2009, stating that Vision Airlines kept hazard pay intended to be passed through to go to the pilots and crew members flying commercial planes into Iraq and Afghanistan war zones to bring supplies.

Motion for sanction against the airline company was filed in October 2010 as a result of the failure to preserve records and turn over discovery. Judge Roger Hunt approved the motion and struck the defendant?s answer, entering default with respect to liability. The current $5.2 million liability factors in interest and costs from the $4.5 million that a jury found back then.

Vision?s appeal to the court stated that while they do not dispute violating the court?s discovery order in bad faith, they argue that the district court not considering other less severe sanctions was an abuse of discretion. The appeals panel, however, ruled that Vision?s contention is without merit since the district court provided an explanation for the insufficiency of alternative measures, citing, ?The court devoted special attention to the availability of less drastic sanctions. It carefully weighed the impact and severity of this sanction and considered whether alternative sanctions would be sufficient, but it determined that no alternative sanction would be sufficient and Vision's conduct warrants striking its answer.?

Notably, the appeals panel also reversed the District Court?s denial of the Class? punitive damages claim against Vision and remanded the matter for trial.

The Ninth Circuit panel included Judges Alfred T. Goodwin, Stephen Reinhardt and Mary H. Murguia. The plaintiffs were represented by David M. Buckner of Grossman Roth PA, Ross C. Goodman of the Goodman Law Group, P.C., Richard B. Rosenthal of The Law Offices of Richard B. Rosenthal PA, and Brett Elliott von Borke and Kenneth Ralph Hartmann of KozyakTropin & Throckmorton PA. Vision Airlines is represented by Edward H. Wasmuth Jr. and Edward Konieczny of Smith Gambrell & Russell LLP and Harold P. Gewerter of Harold P. Gewerter Esq. Ltd.

VHS alum preparing for 10th NFL season

Vanguard High School graduate Drayton Florence is joining the fourth AFC team of his career, playing cornerback for Denver following a year in Buffalo.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Published: Friday, August 24, 2012 at 6:30 a.m.

Last Modified: Friday, August 24, 2012 at 12:54 a.m.

DENVER ? As he looks back at where he has been, what he has done, Vanguard alum Drayton Florence knows why he has survived a decade in the NFL. He believes that knowledge might power his future.

?Me? I would describe myself as a good pro, a reliable pro, a dependable pro,? Florence said. ?I do my job, work hard, and can do enough things that are necessary in my job to compete every year. You want to be the kind of player teams are looking for, the kind they want to have around.?

Someday ? and Florence isn't in any hurry ? the Broncos cornerback sees himself searching for reliable pros. Florence would like to eventually join an NFL team's personnel staff to evaluate the next generation of players.

The Broncos have some experience with that career track. Director of player personnel Matt Russell, whose professional career was derailed by knee injuries, assistant director of college scouting Lenny McGill and Southwest area scout Cornell Green played in the NFL before entering the personnel side. Green was a seven-time Pro Bowl selection in a 14-year playing career with Cowboys as a defensive back.

?Just knowing what to look for in a player, I think I have that and would like to see what the opportunities are at some point,? Florence said. ?I've been in the league 10 years, I've seen all types of different players, body types. You've got to get the right type of player to fit the scheme that you're running.

?It will be an interesting task, I think it would be a good fit for me. A lot of guys really don't do it, but I've been around football all my life. This is what I know. I'm not going to go try to be a chemical engineer when I'm done playing. This is what I've been doing. I want to stick to what I know.?

Things have changed since Florence was a rookie in 2003, when he was a second-round pick by the Chargers out of Tuskegee. He has played with Jacksonville and Buffalo before he signed in Denver. He now takes a different view of the video that fills the screen in front of him during the season. That goes beyond looking for how people line up or a tendency a wide receiver shows on a particular route.

?I probably look at it more now from a personnel standpoint when I'm breaking down my opponent. How they put their teams together, what kinds of players that have that fit or don't fit,? Florence said. ?In the preseason, especially, I kind of look at the defensive backs, the receivers and I'm always looking at the quarterbacks.?

?Drayton is one of those veteran guys who knows what it takes,? Broncos cornerback Champ Bailey said. ?He knows the game. He sees what offenses want to do, how the receivers are attacking the secondary. He's always working on that mental part of the game.?

Florence doesn't plan to pursue his scouting aspirations in the near future. He is 31, playing a position that isn't kind to those players on the north side of 30, but Florence said he feels ?as good as ever.?

A short trip into the free-agent market this year showed he was in demand. The Bills released him May 4, just days after selecting South Carolina cornerback Stephon Gilmore in the first round of last April's draft, and he agreed to terms with the Broncos less than a week later.

Florence has since split time with Chris Harris as the team's nickel cornerback ? the fifth defensive back in some packages ? and been Tracy Porter's backup at right cornerback.

?I look at it like nothing's guaranteed, no spot is guaranteed, until they pick the 53,? Florence said. ?So, my role is whatever it takes to be in that 53. That's how I approach it. Again, I want to be the kind of player a team wants to have around, and I think I know what that takes.?

Dozens arrested, wounded in Togo demos: organisers

More than 100 people were wounded and 125 others arrested during demonstrations this week in Togo's capital that authorities dispersed with tear gas, leading to clashes, protest organisers said Friday.

"We have recorded about 100 injured for the time being and the complete count has not yet been done," Pedro Amuzu of the Let's Save Togo coalition told AFP.

"One hundred twenty-five people were arrested, according to provisional figures."

The government said 10 people were slightly wounded on Tuesday, including a police officer. No official figures have been given for Wednesday.

Togolese authorities sought to stop two days of protests in Lome on Tuesday and Wednesday ahead of parliamentary elections expected in October, saying demonstrations could not be held in commercial areas of the city.

Let's Save Togo, a coalition of civil society and opposition groups which has organised a number of demonstrations, had already planned three days of protests beginning Tuesday when the government announced the ban.

The group vowed to follow through with the demonstrations, though protesters indicated at the last minute that the route of the march would be changed. Authorities however did not agree on the proposed changes.

Security forces fired tear gas on Tuesday and Wednesday to disperse the protests, and some demonstrators threw rocks and burnt tyres in the streets in response.

A third day of protests set for Thursday were called off due to what protest organisers called the crackdown by the Togolese government.

Another march has been scheduled for Saturday and it is not yet clear whether security forces plan to allow it to go ahead.

The coalition's coordinator, Zeus Ajavon, on Thursday called for an end to President Faure Gnassingbe's government and urged Togolese to "disobey and organise" against "illegitimate authority."

Protesters have been seeking a delay in the parliamentary elections to allow reforms to first take place as well as the repeal of changes to electoral laws that they say the government pushed through.

While the elections are expected to be held in October, no date has been set.

Togo has been run by the same family for more than four decades. Gnassingbe Eyadema ruled the country for 38 years with an iron fist until his death in 2005.

Shortly after his death was announced, the military installed his son Faure Gnassingbe as president. He has since won elections in 2005 and 2010.

Turkey troops kill 16 PKK militants after convoy attack

* Army launches air-backed operation after militant attack

* Commander of land forces visits area (Adds military commander visits region, quote)

By Seyhmus Cakan

DIYARBAKIR, Turkey, Aug 23 (Reuters) - Turkish troops have killed 16 Kurdish guerrillas in an operation in southeastern Turkey targeting militants who launched a bomb attack on a military convoy that killed five soldiers, the local governor's office said on Thursday.

The clashes are part of a growing cycle of violence in the remote, mountainous province of Hakkari bordering Iraq and Iran - a development which Turkish officials and analysts are linking to the deepening conflict in Syria.

The army sent in troop reinforcements and helicopter gunships after Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) rebels detonated remote-controlled bombs in the attack on the army convoy in Hakkari's Semdinli district on Wednesday.

Five soldiers were killed and seven wounded in that attack, the Hakkari governor's office said in a statement.

In a sign of Ankara's growing concern over the mounting violence in the mainly Kurdish region, the commander of the military's land forces arrived in Hakkari on Thursday.

He sought to reassure mainstream public opinion, which favours a hardline response to militant attacks.

"Our operations in the area will continue without pause," General Hayri Kivrikoglu was quoted as saying on state media Anatolian's website.

"We always stand by our people. Our people should not worry. The Turkish armed forces will continue in its duty to protect the security of the people and the region," he said.

More than 40,000 people have been killed in the conflict between the PKK and Turkish forces since the militants launched their insurgency 28 years ago with the aim of carving out a separate state in mainly Kurdish southeastern Turkey.

Since June last year, nearly 800 people have died in the conflict, including about 500 PKK fighters, more than 200 security personnel and about 85 civilians, according to estimates by think-tank the International Crisis Group.

The conflict is focused in the mountainous region bordering Iraq and Iran, but the PKK has also carried out attacks in Turkish cities. Officials blamed it for a car bombing on Monday which killed nine people in the city of Gaziantep, near Turkey's southeastern border with Syria.

The PKK, listed as a terrorist organisation by Turkey, the United States and the European Union, has denied involvement in that attack.

Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan has accused Syrian President Bashar al-Assad of backing PKK fighters and has warned of military intervention in Syria if the group uses Syrian territory to threaten Turkey.

Different Aspects Of Mobile Computing And Technology ?

In mobile computing world, migration is important for survival. Mobility originated from the desire to move either toward resources or away from scarcity. Mobile computing is about both physical and logical computing entities that move all system data from one source location to another destination.Mobile computing provides some physical entities that are computers which change locations as and when required. Here, logical entities are instances of a running user application or a mobile agent that automatically configures device. Therefore, mobile agents can migrate any where over internet.Nomadic computing refers to limited migration. Migration is within a building at a pedestrian speed. Interleaved pattern of user relocation and in door connections is also refer to nomadic access. For example, in the same vein, users carrying laptop with DIAL UP modems are engaged in nomadic computing.If the user needs access to a network such as the internet on the go, they must resort to slow wireless WAN systems primarily intended for telephone use. Higher ergo baby sale speed wirelesses LANs are only available in specific sites.However, there are some constraints, technical and some other limitations while doing mobile computing. For Example, when working mobile, one is dependent on public networks, requiring careful use of VPNs. Therefore, there are some leaks to security standards in this case.Also, there is some power consumption in the process. Since the grid cannot be used, mobile computers must rely entirely on battery power. Combined with compact size, this ergo baby carrier canada means unusually expensive batteries must be used. Hence battery power should be properly maintained for better utilization of this technology.Sometime, weather and terrain problems as well as distance limited connection exist with some technologies. Reception in tunnels and some buildings is poor. Potential health damage from cellular radio frequency emission is not known yet. However, more car accidents are related to drivers who were talking through a mobile device. Also, cell phones may interfere with sensitive medical devices. We can say that human interface has been increased with mobile devices. So, there can be some health problem regarding to electromagnetic interferences. Yet these problems are not proven. But precaution is the first step to cure. As HMDs are still uncommon, screens are often too small. Keyboards are impractical, ergo baby carrier especially one handed, and alternate methods such as speech or handwriting recognition require training.Mobile computing is a generic term describing ones ability to use technology while moving, as opposed to portable computers. Distributed computing as we know, works on static wired network. Hence it is more secured as compared to any other computing mechanisms here before.

S.African strikers face ultimatum after mine shootings

An ultimatum issued by platinum giant Lonmin to workers to end a wildcat strike runs out Monday after the London-listed company ordered employees back to work at a South African mine where police killed 34 people.

Miners however remained defiant after the worst episode of police violence since the apartheid era, which President Jacob Zuma said will be officially mourned for seven days.

Lonmin said the call to staff was "a last opportunity to return to work" at its shut-down Marikana mine where union rivalry escalated into a police crackdown and more bloodshed on Thursday after 10 people died just days earlier.

"Employees could therefore be dismissed if they fail to heed the final ultimatum," warned the world's number three platinum producer.

But miners who first downed tools at the Marikana mine on August 10 pledged to press on with their wage demands, and called the order to return to work "an insult" to colleagues who were gunned down by police.

"Expecting us to go back is like an insult. Many of our friends and colleagues are dead, then they expect us to resume work. Never," said worker Zachariah Mbewu.

"Some are in prison and hospitals. Tomorrow (Monday) we are going back to the mountain (protest site), not underground, unless management gives us what we want."

Lonmin's Monday deadline coincides with the start of a week-long national mourning announced Sunday by Zuma.

Flags will be lowered to half mast and an official day for nationwide memorial services held on Thursday.

The violence at the mine stems from a conflict between the powerful National Union of Mineworkers and the upstart Association of Mineworkers and Construction Union (AMCU), which is calling for a tripling of wages.

Thursday's crackdown left 34 dead, 78 wounded and 259 detained, and boosted the death toll to 44 after the 10 earlier deaths which included two police officers.

Workers say they are waiting to hear from mine bosses, whose ultimatum Sunday was an extension of a previous order to return.

Police have claimed self-defence and several probes have been launched, including Zuma announcing a judicial commission of inquiry.

A team of his ministers will also head to Marikana on Monday to "coordinate and lead all support" to grieving families.

What Have You Accomplished That You Are Proud Of?Freefall Self ...

Go the hairdo??? ?When thinking about what I was going to write about for this week?s blog I thought I would like to inquire about ?What you have accomplished that you are proud of?? ?We spend so much time focused on what we wish to achieve in the future but often times we do not spend much time acknowledging ourselves for what we have achieved to date!

For eight years I had ?Cory Everson? on my fridge ? she was a pioneer in women?s body sculpting back in the early 80?s ? I struggled with weight loss for over 20 years and I may as well have been 20 stone overweight for what I thought about myself. ?Tried every diet, nutritionist, diet tablet, hair analysis, you name it. ?I am all for positive reinforcement and affirmation, but looking back it was like purgatory looking at that photo every day, wishing, hoping, wanting.

In 2004 I competed in a body sculpting competition and came second ? I got down to 8% body fat on stage, an extraordinary achievement but although I had transformed myself physically I had not behaviorally ? I had achieved the ?10 physique? but it still wasn?t IT yet! ?I look back at that time now and think, ?where was I????It was a powerful lesson for me at the time. ?The things we think we want, that we think we can never achieve, and then we achieve them still do not make the grade ? which seems so ludicrous! ?I have trousers in my wardrobe that I could not fit my one thigh into now ? gotta laugh, don?t you ? man I have lived life at opposite extremes, but I do own that I am an extremist!

What I was proud of on reflection, more than anything, given a lifetime of self-hatred, self-loathing, I learnt to achieve something I never thought I could achieve, self-love.

Now having facilitated 1000?s of coaching conversations around what people wish to achieve, I make sure I affirm for people that the importance of shifting psychologically ? the perception that the achievement of the goal itself will give them the satisfaction, 9 times out of 10 it does not. ?I find this fascinating.

Body sculpting was not just about watching what you eat and fitness, it involved a choreographed routine and body posing in extreme high heels shoes ? if the discipline around the diet and fitness was not enough, getting your head around posing in front of mirrors for hours on end / contorting your body into weird positions / learning to dance and express yourself whilst wearing next to nothing, boy it took something!

I learnt so much during my body sculpting journey that applies to life really:-

1. ?Being my word beyond my current comprehension of what ?being ones word? means

2. ?You can achieve something that you do not think you can achieve if you train your mind to think beyond the constraints of what it thinks is possible

3. ?You can do more than you think you can if you believe it enough

4. ?With the right support you can not only achieve your goal, you can exceed your goal

5. ?The power of the mind ? 2 hours cardio in the morning and 2 hours cardio in the afternoon ? were there days when I did not wish to train, you bet, but did I, yes ? I learnt to do what I said I would do that day and in so doing achieved the end result ? if I had sold out to the power of the mind, I know I would not have achieved the end result

6. ?1 week out from competing, my personal trainer said I could not compete for I could not nail the choreographed routine ? man I was miffed! ?I was SO confronted in expressing myself through dance, this was so foreign to me at the time for I had hid my body for so many years ? even went 3 winters without seeing a summer because summer meant you had to wear less clothes, god the things we do to ourselves?so the learning? ?You can overcome anything when you are pushed to the limit of your beliefs, I could not, not compete, the end goal propelled me to get over myself and nail the routine

7. ?Accepting compliments was something that I did not do well prior to this experience. ?I would always deflect a compliment. ?1 week out from competing I remember walking into a cafe, I was trialing out wearing the 6 inch high heel shoes, in a mini skirt with a skimpy tank top, tanned as ? I walked to the counter and a guy came up to me and said ? ?Do you have any idea how amazing you look? ? at the time, looking the best I have ever looked I thought ?Is this man taking the piss?? literally ? how sad is that?

8. The power discipline has to experiencing freedom. ?I never associated Discipline with Freedom, quite the contrary, I had it looking the complete opposite

9. ?Achieving a goal that you never thought you could achieve, and then achieve, does not give you the happiness that you thought it would ? unless you shift your beliefs and behaviors as well

10. ?Climbing your Everest, that insurmountable mountain that you never thought you could climb, and then you climb it, who are you in that identity? ?Achieving transformational results is ?life altering? for you learn what it is like to achieve beyond the norm

Now 8 years on I am back in training. ?Whether I compete again or not, is yet to be seen ? I am the happiest I have ever been and my relationship to myself is no longer defined by my body weight. ?Don?t get me wrong I love looking good but it no longer has me, which is beyond freeing. ?I am enjoying being back in training and my goal is to be back to my ideal weight by Christmas, as my Christmas present to myself ? my natural approach is to normally do rip, shit and bust training but as I am older and wiser I am pacing myself, I am wanting to sustain this time round, I get there is nowhere to get, I am whole and complete now ? I do not need to prove anything to myself. ?I have already done that!? And some. ?But there is something to be said to being in shape and honoring the vessel ? I have allowed my commitment to my businesses to encroach on my personal boundaries and get moving forward that my personal boundaries need to be non-negotiable.

So I leave you with the thought today:

What have you accomplished that you are proud of?

If you are interested in learning more about how to achieve more that you ever thought imaginable, then consider calling one of the Freefall Team on 09 488 6764 or book in for a 1 hour free no obligation consultation session to hear more about the Freefall Experience Seminars ? refer?www.freefallexperience.com

"I knew it wasn't going to happen overnight. One thing I told Dan Snyder was: ?If you don't plan on me being here for five years to do this the right way, then you shouldn't hire Mike Shanahan. But I'm going to do it the right way... But if you're going to ask me to take shortcuts, I'm not going to take shortcuts. I'm going to do it the right way.' And he said he would.
