Author | Jator Pierre, DIAKADI Trainer Perform Exercise that balances your body
Our bodies are an expression of every choice we have made since we've entered the world. The body will always mould itself around what you do with it. e.g. if you drive to work, sit in a chair 8-10 hrs a day, drive home and then sit on the couch to watch TV, your body will become those environments- usually slouched and restricted.
It's important to do stretches and strengthening exercises that pull the body into alignment, especially if your life is sedentary. To design stretching and corrective programs that are specific to individual needs we perform a comprehensive assessment. A basic rule for stretching is if it's not tight, don't stretch it. Perform stretches needed to allow you to stand up straight, perform a full squat, lunge, rotate the spine and press weight above the head all with optimal alignment of the spine.
Stretching programs need to be performed 6/7 days per week to get optimal results and for practical purposes are best designed to take less than 15 minutes.
When performing more than 2 intense days of training in a row the body will not recover and exercise becomes more stressful than it is worth. This is why we recommend 1-2 days of intense exercise followed by an active rest day of light walking, stretching or swimming in the ocean. Exercise programs should always vary and cover a variety of movements and responses- stability, endurance, speed, power, maximum strength and muscle building strength work.
Balance within the muscle system relates to the balance between stabilizer muscles and prime movers. If you're over investing in fast and heavy lifting, the stabilizer muscles will be compromised.
Balance also relates to the hormonal system. If you're feeling run down, intense circuit style resistance training will not serve you. You can modify by slowing the movements down to breathing pace and doing lighter less complex versions of the same movements.
All WE workouts finish with core stabilization work to keep tone and health within these muscles.
We can live many days without eating and drinking but only a few minutes without breathing. The act of breathing is involuntary, however the manner and conditions for a healthy, optimally functioning respiratory system falls to making a conscious choice. We breathe over 20,000 times a day. If our breath is optimal it will contribute to our wellbeing. If our breathing pattern is less than optimal it can have a profound effect on our health and wellbeing; ultimately leading to problems in our digestive systems, detoxifications systems, organ health, posture and our sympathetic nervous system which will lead to an increased stress response with every breath. Taking the time to consciously breathe with the diaphragm and let the belly and ribs expand with each breath, is a great way to calm the nervous system and massage the internal organs. We encourage nasal breathing as it filters, humidifies and warms the air before it hits the lungs. Breathing with your nose also further calms the nervous system. Through client assessments, we have found that most hyperventilate, or over-breathe, creating excess tension in the digestive and respiratory systems and muscles around the neck.
Slowing the breath down before taking another breath allows for the calming effect of mild Co2 retention to occur.
This exercise can be done in bed on your back before going to sleep, on a foam roller, which will aid in opening up the rib cage or in an Epsom salt bath for 3-5mins.
4 second inhalation 4 second exhalation 2 second pause in between
Invest in a Foam Roller, Stability Ball & Stabilizer Cuff
Foam Rollers have been designed to allow for optimal opening up of the ribcage, improving posture and breathing mechanics and are perfect for giving yourself the best massages.
We recommend people perform the long lay with the above breathing technique at least 6/7 days. Lay face up with your head at one end of foam roll and your pelvis at the other end with a small towel rolled up to the size of the thickness of your palm under your low back.

Wedding Rings. Wednesday , November 15th , 2017 - 10:40:35 AM
Act as a host throughout the day. Does Aunt Jane need help with directions to the reception? Does it look like the cake baker and caterer are having a disagreement? Did Uncle Mike ask for a vegetarian dinner and not get one? Does the bride`s grandfather look like he wants to dance but doesn`t have a partner? Did the groom`s father get stuck in an elevator right before his big speech? (Trust us, it happens.) Take it as a cue for you to step in and help where it`s needed, acting on behalf of the couple and their families—especially for things that the newlyweds definitely don`t need to be bothered with or know about. Tie up loose ends at the end of the wedding. Create a list with the couple or their parents ahead of time of any vendors that need to be paid when the night is over, so you can be the point person to hand out checks. Also, keep an eye on the gift table and card box, and delegate help bringing gifts and cards into a secure room or someone`s car after the party`s over. Take care of the bride`s wedding dress after the reception.
You may be setting yourself up for disappointment. Tip for the taking: For friends who can`t commit for whatever reason (they live out of town or are busy at work), let them in on just a few wedding prep activities, like an invitation stuffing party complete with wine and pizza. Include your brothers and sisters. Not to sound like your mom, but think about it: Even if you`re not particularly close to his sister or her brother, siblings are going to be around well past your 10-year anniversary, and chances are, you`ll become closer over the years. If you come from a big family and you can`t possibly include everyone, draw the line at teenagers. Instead, make them a part of the ceremony by asking them to pass out programs or seat guests. Tip for the taking: Traditionally, it`s ladies on one side and guys on the other, but feel free to break that rule and have them stand on either side of the aisle. Consider the size of your wedding. You can have as many (or few) bridesmaids and groomsmen as you like. The average wedding party size is four on either side. Use that as a guide when you decide. Depending on formality, go larger or smaller. For a smaller wedding with around 50 to 60 guests, have no more than four, but for a larger wedding of, say, 150, you could go up to 12 if you really wanted. Just keep this in mind: More isn`t always merrier. The more attendants you have, the more details to organize —flattering tuxes or dresses, a bachelor or bachelorette party with 12 attendants who have busy schedules, wedding party gifts and so much more. Tip for the taking: If there are a lot of people you want to include in your wedding party but just can`t, give them other roles, like usher, ceremony reader or candlelighter. Call him the man of honor and her the best woman. Guys can stand with the bride and women can stand with the groom. It`s really up to you—what`s most important is that you include your favorite people, women and men. Tip for the taking: There are no hard-and-fast rules about how to dress them. You can dress your groomswomen in tuxedos or dresses (or even rompers), and your bridesmen can look just like the groomsmen or they can match their suits to the bridesmaid dresses.
Wedding Style Hacks You Need to Know About. The venue is the perfect size and free on the date you want…but the carpet is terrible, the wallpaper clashes with your colors and the lighting is all wrong! We tapped our favorite wedding pros for clever solutions to the most common décor challenges. The space's chairs are dated, and they don't fit my color scheme or style. Chiavari rental chairs. The Expert: Krystel Tien of Couture Events in San Diego. The Style Hack: This is an easy fix: Rent ones that complement your wedding style or colors, like classic chiavari chairs or rustic wood benches. "We love to incorporate specialty lounge furniture and beautiful vintage pieces," Tien says. If budget is a concern, select a couple of pieces that will have maximum effect, like king and queen chairs for the sweetheart table. "A few properly placed items can make a huge visual impact," Tien adds.

SPRINGFIELD — Majority Caucus Whip Iris Y. Martinez (D-Chicago) issued the following statement in response to the Illinois Senate adopting term limits for Senate leaders:
"Term limits for Senate leadership is the right thing to do. No one should be making a career out of being a legislative leader. For Illinois to function properly, it's imperative that we have fresh ideas and new people leading state government. I hope the Illinois House will follow the Senate's lead and adopt term limits for the Speaker of the House and the House Minority Leader."
Under the term limits plan backed by Martinez, the Senate President and Senate Minority Leader would be limited to five terms apiece. Terms are for two years, so this would be a 10-year limit.
Yesterday's action imposed term limits on leadership posts by Senate Rule, which has the effect of law in the Senate.

Part 2:
Solutions for People with Learning Disorders
I wrote this article on solutions for learning
disorders because many diagnoses
of attention
deficit disorder (ADD & ADHD), made by schoolteachers
and psychologists, are later shown to be wrong.
Such errors in opinion (there are no laboratory
tests) can devastate the lives
of children who suffer from their parents' abuse, immaturity, ignorance -
or who are more intelligent than their teachers.
A description of hyperactive children by the American Psychiatric Association
is: "One who exhibits behavior such as fidgeting, squirming, answering questions
before being called on, difficulty playing quietly, engaging in physically
dangerous activities such as running into the street without looking, or one who
has difficulty following instructions."
Although that sounds like most normal children to me, children who
show a lack of concentration or curiosity, who are a nuisance to teachers,
or who are considered lazy, may be labeled learning disabled and
Children labeled with learning disabilities are expected to be less
creative and spontaneous and to have less motivation than normal.
Yet many children diagnosed with learning disorders suffer
more from disturbed families or poor nutrition.
Few learning disorders can be confirmed by a laboratory; these labels
are opinions. Yet some children labeled as learning disabled
will seek refuge in alcohol or drugs. Some will become delinquent, perhaps
starting lives of crime. Many will enter adulthood with inadequate
education. Some will withdraw into isolation or suicide.
Some children labeled as learning disordered show biochemical
imbalances and irregularities in medical imaging - although other children
with similar imbalances and irregularities learn easily.
Some health professionals believe that biochemical imbalances cause
learning disabilities - I believe that the factors causing
learning disorders also cause biochemical imbalances.
Helping professionals who believe that metabolic imbalances cause
learning disorders will likely prescribe psychotropic drugs;
while practitioners who believe that learning disorders can cause
metabolic imbalances will likely recommend dietary analysis,
remedial therapy and/or relationship counseling for the parents.
If family relationships, food sensitivities
or allergies are causing
a child's symptoms, that child does NOT have ADD.
Children of Divorce
. Systemic Education
. Food Allergies .
Eating Disorders
Significant blocks to successful education include societal
beliefs about "What is possible in education?",
parental beliefs about "What can our children accomplish?"
and teachers' beliefs about "What can be done at schools?"
Academic success can be assessed with examinations, and tests
and social success can be assessed within relationships.
Children labeled learning disabled are less likely to relate to
other children or to teachers with friendly confidence - instead they
may become loners or join gangs. (Their social success may be boosted if
friendship skills are taught by teachers or role models who demonstrate
friendly behavior).
Parental Alienation . Parent Coaching
Emotional Incest
Guidelines in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental
Disorders (DSM) require that children show typical symptoms of learning
disabilities for at least six months. However, differences between
diagnostic frequencies indicate that these labels may be
applied to children who are perceived as nuisances by teachers (that
is, many students suffer from teaching disabilities).
We find that learning disorders (and
eating disorders) often arise
from negative emotions resulting from relationship problems,
and that people often respond well
to our systemic coaching.
Many children with learning disorders subsist on sugar and
sugar-forming junk foods and/or suffer family relationship chaos,
both of which can cause and worsen learning problems. Even so, food
sensitivities are rarely explored (and psychiatric drugs are
unlikely to manage dietary deficiencies or relationship problems).
Some children with learning disabilities are intolerant of or
allergic to common foods such as wheat, potatoes, milk
or corn products. These can cause some children to show depressed or
hyperactive behavior, and many doctors try to manage such
children's behaviors with amphetamines.
Some symptoms of allergies to common foods may be diagnosed
as learning disorders. These emotional symptoms include aggressiveness,
anxiety, depression, dizziness, hyperactivity, indifference, insomnia,
irritability, sleepiness, slurred speech and stuttering.
Few people are aware that common foods can cause psychological
symptoms through hidden allergies and intolerances. Studies of food intolerance tests
showed a 70% success rate, while only 20% accuracy with skin allergy
testing. (And many people seem to be addicted to foods to which
they are allergic or intolerant).
Dietary analysis cannot solve learning disorders, but
careful observations and follow-up tests can expose food and nutrition problems.
Children's tolerance of food has a great impact on their lives.
Health professionals who believe that learning disorders
are caused by a biochemical imbalance routinely prescribe
mind-altering drugs to manage children. Amphetamines can subdue
hyperactive children and reduce the stress of parents and teachers.
But children medicated with addictive drugs may show dysfunction
into their adult lives.
Ritalin is
rather similar to cocaine. Side effects include
lost appetite: drugged children are often underweight and grow more
slowly than their peers. Other side effects include addiction, high
blood pressure, irritability, emotional instability and fatigue.
Adderall is an amphetamine combination that triggers
the release of dopamine and noradrenaline. Approved by the FDA in
1996, Adderall is an alternative to Ritalin, and may be prescribed
if Ritalin is ineffective.
Excerpts from Essential Guide to
Psychiatric Drugs
In most people the effects of
stimulant drugs are short-lived and there is often a letdown or crash
after they wear off. During this crash the patient can feel
very depressed, sleepy and sluggish.
... People who abuse
amphetamines and other stimulants - usually in attempts to lose weight or
stay awake for prolonged periods - often find that a dose that had worked
for a while is suddenly ineffective and they need a higher dose. ... Soon,
the person is addicted to the drug. Stopping it suddenly leads to severe
withdrawal reactions characterized by depression and extreme fatigue.
Suicides have been reported amongst people who suddenly stop taking
"Patients must understand
that they will probably become addicted to the medication and that
they should never stop taking it abruptly."
Parents who manage their own negative emotions and
relationship problems
can reduce
any need for their children to disable their own learning.

Children diagnosed with Attention Deficit Disorders (ADD or ADHD or ADS)
are often described as lazy, inattentive, hyperactive and
impulsive, as are most children at times.
Children may be diagnosed with
ADD if they become bored quickly, are easily distracted, make careless
mistakes, daydream or not complete educational tasks. (Many children
diagnosed with ADD can complete tasks that interest them.)
People with ADHD have an elevated risk of
psychiatric disorders (Jensen et al. 2001), and of educational and career
difficulties (Mannuzza & Klein 2000), as well as about 20% increased
use of emergency and outpatient medical services (DeBar et al. 2004).
Few psychiatrists and doctors give physical exams for suspected ADD;
they just fill out checklists. Yet a diagnosis of ADHD cannot be
confirmed in a laboratory, like an infection - a label of ADD or ADHD
may only indicate that a health professional does not know what is wrong.
If family relationships, food sensitivities or allergies are
causing a child's symptoms, then that child does not have ADD.
ADD, Ritalin & Adderall
3% - 5% of school age children are
diagnosed with ADHD, with up to 20% in some schools. About 10 boys are
diagnosed with ADHD for each girl. Common treatments are Ritalin
(methylphenidate) and Adderall - drugs of convenience for many parents
and caretakers.(Should giving children addictive, psychoactive
drugs be a first choice - or a last option?)
Side-Effects associated with Ritalin
& Adderall
Have you experienced temporary attention deficit during a
crisis, or during conversations? Have you experienced temporary
attention deficit during internal conversations or self-talk?
People with ADD may benefit from coaching that helps them concentrate,
manages self-criticism and decreases inner conflict.
Children having difficulty in
peer relationships, such as being rejected by other children or
not having close friends, may have higher risk for anxiety,
behavioral and mood disorders, substance abuse and delinquency
as teenagers.
Woodward, Lianne and Ferguson, David;
Childhood Peer Relationship Problems and Psychosocial Adjustment in Late
Adolescence. Journal of Abnormal Child Psychology, 1999
Parents of children diagnosed with ADHD may
report that their child do not play with groups of friends nor enjoy in
after-school activities, and that their child has few friends, is bullied at
school or has trouble cooperating along with other children.
New York University Child Study Center.
IMPACT Survey, 2001
You can help children diagnosed with ADHD or ADD by
providing dietary analysis for the children
and systemic coaching for the parents. Correcting the diet of children
with learning disabilities often helps improve their behavior. Testing for food
allergies and sensitivities, and providing needed vitamins and minerals may help
many "learning disabled" children.
Parents who learn to build or rebuild their own happiness can
better help learning disabled children. We help parents
identify and manage relationship problems which manifest as
immature behavior. Children, especially those under the age of 14,
often respond quickly and
positively to their parent's increased happiness.
Adults with ADD may be energetic, creative and spontaneous.
They may also interrupt people and be forgetful. If these traits
are perceived as a lack of caring for other family members, resentment
may follow. Yet many adults with symptoms of ADD or ADHD avoid resolving them.
Dyslexia is about learning to read. Research suggests that
up to 20% of all people show some symptoms of dyslexia.
Dyslexia may be diagnosed when a schoolteacher cannot correct a child's reading
Dyslexia is not a diagnosis,
it is a prediction that children cannot learn to read. And with that
prediction on record - why, strangely enough, none of them ever do.
Unless they happen on a teacher who doesn't believe in educationese
witchcraft.From Inferno by Larry Niven
& Jerry Pournelle
If dyslexia can be corrected - it is not dyslexia!
I have met many people diagnosed with dyslexia who seemed to have a
basic left-right confusion (and dyslexia seems more common if
children, as children, their parents had reversed roles, where a mother takes a
fatherly role and the father is absent or weak. We can help people
correct this).
Mature parents who manage their own relationship conflicts
seem to
any need for their children to suffer learning disabilities.

Photos of Chance the Rapper & Drake, courtesy Getty
Drake has weighed in on Chance the Rapper's recent endeavors in Chicago, saying he believes the latter would be a good mayor for the city.
As captured by TMZ, Drake was asked Tuesday night in Los Angeles if Chance would make a good mayor of Chicago, to which the Toronto emcee responded, "Yeah, I do."
Drizzy's feedback follows a string of high-profile contributions by Chance for his hometown and Chicago Public Schools, including a donation of $1 million, in addition to teaming up with the Chicago Bulls for another $1 million, as well as thousands more for 12 different schools. His efforts came in response to a disappointing meeting with Illinois Governor Bruce Rauner to discuss education.
Last week, Chance announced the launch of the New Chance Arts & Education Fund. And fans are now increasingly urging him to run for mayor, with a #Chano4Mayor website sprouting up over the weekend, asking that he challenge incumbent Mayor Rahm Emanuel, who will be up for re-election in 2019.
While Chance's profile until now has been mostly anchored in music, his mayoral link isn't completely random. In his song "Somewhere in Paradise," he raps, "They say I'm savin' my city, say I'm stayin' for good / They screamin' Chano for mayor, I'm thinkin' maybe I should."

More than half of US federal prison inmates are in jail for drug trafficking, with the harshest sentences going to crack dealers, most of them African Americans, a study finds.
The federal prison population increased by 84 percent between 1998 and 2012, due largely to a crackdown on drugs, according to a study by the Bureau of Justice Statistics.
The report comes as America, whose incarceration rate is the highest among developed countries, grapples with the harsh policies that have seen petty criminals and drug users sentenced to long prison terms for minor, non-violent offences.
Some 52 percent of inmates were in jail for a drug offence as their most serious crime, according to the study, which was based on 2012 data.
More than half (54 percent) of those inmates were in jail for cocaine – either in the form of crack (28 percent) or powder (26 percent).
Sentences for methamphetamines were next at 23 percent, followed by marijuana (12 percent) and heroine (six percent).
Black people represented 88 percent of crack cocaine offenders, while Latinos accounted for 54 percent of powder, or cocaine, offenders.
Whites made up 48 percent of methamphetamine offenders.
The average drug offender prison sentence was more than 11 years, but crack offenders received harsher punishment, with an average of 170 months (more than 14 years).
The study, which was based on 94,678 federal prison drug offenders, also indicated that crack offenders had a greater tendency to have extensive criminal histories and use weapons.
More than a third of inmates sentenced for drug offences had a minimal criminal history or no prior run-in with the law.
Just last week, a group of 130 police chiefs, prosecutors and sheriffs from around the United States called for reforms that would reduce the US prison population, a move also backed by President Barack Obama.
The United States is preparing to release in November thousands of prisoners considered at low risk of returning to crime, as part of an effort to ease prison overcrowding and redress overly harsh sentences.
The release comes after the US Sentencing Commission, which sets policy for federal crimes, reduced its sentencing guidelines for drug possession.

text: I first heard about the word Tactegic from this blog post. Without focus, lots of little tactical successes can breed strategic defeat. When it comes to programming, the word hacking seems related to this idea. When you're hacking away, you're usually taking as many shortcuts as you can, and fumbling your way towards some kind of ad-hoc fix. Hacking can be good with a degree of focus and strategy. In fact, some hacks may lead to actual products in the end. One possible benefit of hacking is doing away with over-engineering and over-design, however, one should eventually step back and be critical about ones own work.

Will Herrington, Executive Chef
Kitchen 320
I spent my first 13 years in Waynesboro and spent some time in Statesboro.
How long in Savannah:
One year this go-around. I was here previously and worked for another restaurant.
How would you describe your culinary style?
What we're doing is authentic Lowcountry cuisine, but we put a modern twist on it--modernizing the family restaurant, so to speak. We stay true to where we are (this region) but we're progressive with our culinary style. We're not transplants to the South. We're from here and have a lot of ties to local farmers and that's what we try to put on display, not just us, but the city and region as a whole.
What is your favorite dish to make?
I'm really into pickling and preserving. It's something I've been doing my whole life. But recently it seems to have found a way into the mainstream. And I play a lot with that at home as well.
Any comments on Savannah's growing food scene?
One of the reasons I left awhile back is because I felt like things here were getting a little stale. Everywhere you went, it seemed everyone was doing the same thing. I Always kept ties here, and kept up with the scene. And it's now, wow, it's starting to blossom, hence the reason why I came back. The scene is at the very beginning of where we're going to go, but it's a super exciting time to be here. We haven't even hit the tip of the iceberg with where we're going as a food city.
Anything diners should be excited about on your Savannah Restaurant Week menu?
Really, we're doing the final tweaking right now. We don't want you to come in here and have something you'll never see again, so we're trying to stay true to the same types of things that are on our main menu--and hopefully that will make folks want to come back for more. So this year my main goal is to stay true to who we are. But I promise the meal will be outstanding!
What's the one food item or kitchen tool that you can't live without?
My eight-inch Japanese steel chef knife. You don't need 200 knives, you need one really good knife. Appreciate and take care of it and it will do the same for you.
What would you like to have as your last meal?
My last meal..hmm...I'd like to have a plate of fried chicken, collard greens and some Carolina rice.

After years of declining sales, it seems like Best Buy and Target are getting ready to dump CDs—a move that's great for retail and music.
Apple acquiring Shazam makes sense on the music service side, but there are also implications from an augmented reality standpoint as well.

More details dropped recently about the Magic Leap One, Creator Edition, but is the company falling too far behind others in the AR space?
After returning from CES 2018, we take a look back at some pre-show questions that we posed, and go through our post-show answers.
As a first time attendee, E3 can leave one's head spinning. But there was plenty to discover and learn about the video game industry and why retailers need to pay attention to more than just PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo.
As a lifelong fan of video games, the first E3 could seem like an overwhelming undertaking. But there are certain aspects of the show to keep an eye on.

The doom and gloom of Bose 'spying' on consumers should start the conversation that consumers don't own their data, and that is okay.
I learned as much about the audiophile community as I did about the new products that were on display at the first-ever CanJam NYC.
We've seen a lot of advancements recently in the truly wireless earbud space. But just as fast as we are seeing products appear on the market, we are already seeing slight stagnation.

GoPro's pre-announced its first-quarter earnings and to sum it up, they are planning to cut 270 more jobs.

Many…

Two years in, I've had two very different experiences attending CES, the massive tech tradeshow put on by the Consumer Technology Association.

Although a lot of different companies have a lot of reasons to succeed at CES this year, I'm really hard-pressed to find anyone more excited to generate positive attention. And while Samsung dominates virtually every area it invests in; their CES lineup ran the gamut of wearables, appliances, computers, and televisions. Let's dive into each…
Barely two months ago, I threw the idea out there that action cam maker GoPro has possibly peaked as a company. That notion was based on the fact that the company has seen its stock price nosedive in the last year and a half. Since reaching nearly $87 per share in July 2015, GoPro rested…

There will be no room or time for brand-bovarism in 2015. Savvy marketers in 2014 encountered colossal change to their marketing platforms and with it their brand investment bets.

So far today's #4K adventures are going well. Speaking of 4K (or UltraHD) andrew-robinson-online.com/rallying-again… #AVTweeps #HomeTheater — Andrew Robinson (@ARobinsonOnline) May 7, 2013
What are your thoughts on 4K? How are manufacturers and content creators handling the new technology? How are consumers recieving it?
The importance of consumer technology is growing in the workplace and at home. And whether we're purchasing tech products for our families or our careers, women are more tech-savvy than ever before. For these reasons, it's important for retailers to remember that women purchase tech accessories not just for social reasons, but to help us…
The future of technology gets a lot of attention. But, as much as we use them, tech accessories tend to get left out of the discussion.
Household ownership of wireless audio, wearables and connected devices saw huge ownership gains, but what's driving consumers?
2012 was a miserable year for most CE retailers. It's clearly time to start trying something different.
So you spent the last year building up a great social media following, and you took a week to go to CEDIA Expo. You're going to share everything you see and really deliver value to all those followers... but suddenly the show's over and you feel like you didn't share half of what you saw.

text: LLM Commercial Conflict of Laws Back to 'LLM' Module leader: Dr Jenny Papettas Teaching and assessment (2017 - 18): Semester 2, 1 x 3 hour examination Module description: Conflict of laws (also known as private international law) is concerned with the law relating to cross-border litigation. Conflict of laws issues arising in any private law subject when the facts have an international element. This option examines the three main elements of the conflict of laws: The jurisdiction of English courts to hear disputes in international litigation. We consider in detail the European rules of jurisdiction in the Brussels I Regulation (which are common to all EU states), as well as the common law rules (which are similar to those in a number of common law countries around the world). A private law subject concerned with what happens when a dispute has an international set of facts. It might be described as the law of international commercial litigation. It is often and alternatively referred to as private international law. Outline of topics to be covered: 1. Jurisdiction: when can a dispute with international sets of facts be heard in an English court? European Regulation applies where the defendant is domiciled in Europe; otherwise we use common law rules. Should an English court be prepared to hear any case, no matter how tenuously connected with England 2. Choice of law: when we have an international dispute, we have to decide which country's law or laws to apply if the case is heard in England. We look at the law-selecting rules in the two most important areas: contract and tort law disputes. 3. Recognition of foreign judgments: suppose that a US court had already ruled on the merits of a contract case and that the claimant wins damages, but the defendant holds his assets in England. To claim them, it is necessary that the English court recognises the effects of the foreign judgment. When will it do so? What if the judgment was given in a country where the defendant had no opportunity to defend himself or was decided on the basis of a repugnant law?

My Rating
"Julie" was the remake of Malayalam hit Chattakari (1974) that also starred Laxmi. She would star in yet another remake, the Telugu film, Miss Julie Prema Katha (1975). In 2006, "Julie" was remade in Kannada with Ramya in the title role, and Dino Morea as her lover, though the film wasn't a success.

You're A Big Deal: Vacationer
Hometown:Horsham, PA
WBD:What sparked your interest in music and how did you get started?
Music grabbed my attention early on. Both of my parents were fans and they introduced me to some cool albums and concerts at an early age. Movies like the Commitments also had a strong influence on me. The allure of starting a band was powerful ever since I could grasp the concept. I started my first band at 9 or 10, as soon as I began learning to play bass. I took to it right away and began touring by the time I was 16.
WBD:Describe your sound in 3 words.
Chilled trip pop.
WBD:Who are your biggest musical influences?
At this point in my life my influences are vast. Generally they fall in between The Beach Boys, David Byrne and Radiohead.
WBD:What is your favorite part of performing live?
I'm always chasing the magic moments that come with performing when everything connects. That instance when the performance is inspired and present while the crowd is visibly connected. That's where the butterflies come from.
WBD:Tell us one of the coolest things that's happened in your career so far.
The first time I got signed to a record contract I was 16. At that point I was pipe-dreaming. When I heard about the deal it had to be the most excited I've been about my career to date. It meant that I didn't have to ask myself what I would do with my life. I could do what I love.
WBD:What's coming up for you that you're excited about?
We are leaving for tour as I write. We haven't toured all summer, so I'm eager to see everyone out there and cut loose.
WBD:Who would you love to work with and why?
I'd really love to sing a top line for Classixx. They've created the best dance album of last year in my opinion. I see other singers come in and sing over their tracks, seems like it would be great fun.
WBD:What advice do you have for aspiring musicians?
Don't try to read minds. Make the music that makes you happy.

BSB has some parallel evidence that this thought to be safe Republican district is breaking away from the red stranglehold and coming our way. Blackwell gets thumped by 12% in this district. It is no wonder i continue to talk to Republican after Republican here (there are lots) who are not voting that way.
Studebaker is also closer than anyone thought possible (42/38) and could do the same as Shamansky once the message gets out there and move ahead. Add this to the Wulsin stuff that came out recently and we have the makings of a true turnaround in Ohio.
So for all you 12th CD peeps, the message is clear and it IS the message. Do what you can to help get the message out about our candidates this time around. If we succeed in that, we win.
Update: Whoops, Pryce in trouble too. (from OH-15 and BSB)


text: Anybody gotten the Hori Mini Pad N64 controller to work with PJ64 or any other N64 emulator? I scored a Hori for a mere 300 yen (about $3.50) and was all excited to use it. I have a Mayflash USB adapter that works great with an original controller, but the analog stick goes crazy with the Hori. There is also the Retrozone N64 USB adapter. I wrote the manufacturer asking if it works with the Hori, but have yet to hear back. I also found something called Raphnet that makes adapters, but don't know a thing about it. I wrote this person also, and also still haven't heard anything. Anything else? Ideally I'd like to figure out a way to get it to work with the Mayflash because I don't want to buy anything else, but I have no idea how.

Many people believe that giving a "bad" reference is somehow against the law.
In fact, there is no general obligation at law to give an employee (or former employee) any sort of reference – good or bad.
Where the law might intervene (for example in an action in defamation) would possibly be if an employer provided a deliberately dishonest or misleading reference which caused some harm to the employee.

If you need a reference before you appoint us, or would like some more testimonials, please get in touch. In the meantime, please find a couple of examples below…
"I have been using Advantage One as the sole provider for my security officers and store detectives, within my region, for over seven years, and have always been completely satisfied with their service level. I have also recommended their services to my colleagues covering other regions of the UK.
They have never dropped a shift and their security officers are always prompt. Any issues have been dealt with in a timely and efficient manner. I also use their store detectives and find them extremely efficient and effective. They provide a very personalised service to my stores.
I have often used them for short notice, adhoc work and can say that I can not remember a time when they have been unable to provide officers, even with little or no notice from me.
I am happy to recommend the services of Advantage One Security. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me."

Growing up with a Diabetic father, (the type 1 version) I developed an interest in nutrition and the importance it plays in keeping us healthy. His life literally depended on it.
But it wasn't until my own health issues that my real learning about what it takes to be healthy and happy began. Ten years ago, two weeks after my Dad died, on my birthday I had a lifesaving operation to remove a Melanoma. I should have been better after this, right? No, this diagnosis was the end result of a body and life out of balance. I was stressed and burnt out, had gut issues and started to put on weight. Have you gone through a stressful time like a divorce, death or trauma amd are feeling the same way?
I made it my mission to rebuild my body and mind in a healthier way. Already a Naturopath, I started studying health coaching through the Institute of Integrative Nutrition, which changed my life. I learned about the importance of not only food but Primary Food. It's easy to overlook all of the things that contribute to our sense of nourishment and fulfillment. It's not just the food we eat, but all of the other factors present in our daily lives. Healthy relationships, a fulfilling career, regular physical activity and a spiritual awareness are essential forms of nourishment. When these "primary foods" are balanced, what you eat becomes secondary.
I learned that food is a very powerful form of medicine and that I can choose on a daily basis to eat the foods that make me feel anxious, fatigued and bloated, or the ones that fuel my body so it can perform at it's best. I became more empowered as I found the foods that worked best for my body and incorporated them in my cooking.
- If nothing changes...nothing changes
- One person's food is another person's poison
- To heal we must give the body what it needs and take away what it doesn't need
- Food is powerful...Gut healing is necessary...Reducing stress is ESSENTIAL
- No matter how good the diet is, you cannot get better while you are stressed. Take the stress off the body and the body can heal and thrive.
- The concept of bio-individuality - that each person has unique food and
lifestyle needs... and
that's why fad diets tend to fail in the long run.
My Mission
I am passionate about empowering you with the knowledge and skills to make permanent changes to your health, so you can live a healthier, happier life. My aim is to help you create a plan based on your goals and then translate this information into practical everyday steps.
I've combined all my personal and professional expertise in a proven system that can help you finally transform your energy, digestion and moods, feel in control of your health and create a life you really enjoy.
Working on the principle of bio-individuality, I use a personalised, holistic approach to ensure that you will have great success. I'll support you to make positive changes that are based on your unique needs, lifestyle, preferences, and background.

Hypertension and Preeclampsia
Birth Injury Attorney Explains
One of the most serious maternal risk factors doctors need to take into account during a woman's pregnancy is high blood pressure. If the mother's blood pressure is higher than normal, the mother and child's health could be at risk.
That's why excessively high blood pressure is considered one of the leading birth injury risk factors during pregnancy. Unfortunately, some physicians ignore the warning signs and fail to take steps to protect the health of the mother and/or the child.
If you believe you had hypertension, preeclampsia or another form of high blood pressure during your pregnancy which resulted in your child's birth injury, contact our law firm. Our experienced attorneys at the Tyrone Law Firm want to work with you and help your address all the issues facing your family.
What Is Hypertension?
Hypertension is defined as abnormally high blood pressure. What constitutes abnormally high blood pressure varies from one woman to another. Such factors can include age, height, weight and other medical conditions.
During your pregnancy, your physician should have carefully monitored your blood pressure, especially if you had abnormally high blood pressure before your pregnancy. In particular, many doctors often prescribe medications designed to lower the mother's blood pressure.
If you have a history of hypertension and your doctor failed to take steps to protect your health, you could have grounds to take legal action against the physician, especially if your child was born with a permanent birth injury.
What Is Preeclampsia?
Preeclampsia is a term used to describe a potentially fatal medical condition involving high blood pressure that can occur during pregnancy. Pregnant women with preeclampsia might experience high blood pressure for the first time in their lives.
Preeclampsia usually begins about 20 weeks into a woman's pregnancy. If left untreated, the mother can experience organ damage, especially to the kidneys and liver. Pregnant women with preeclampsia might also experience eclampsia, which are seizures or convulsions.
If left untreated, preeclampsia could result in the death of the mother or the fetus. That's why doctors need to closely monitor the mother's health for any signs of preeclampsia. Otherwise, the mother's life could be at risk or there could be complications which result in lifelong health problems for the child.
We Can Help
Most doctors refuse to admit they failed to diagnose preeclampsia or overlooked other serious health issues often associated with high blood pressure during pregnancy. That's why you need our legal team on our side, standing up for your family's rights.
Working with knowledgeable medical experts, our attorneys know how to analyze evidence and find the facts your family needs to build a strong legal case. And if your doctor, hospitals or insurance companies refuse to cooperate, we're prepared to take them to court.
Your family shouldn't have to pay for someone else's mistakes. Make sure you hold medical professionals accountable for their actions. Contact our law firm and schedule your free consultation today. We're here to help your family make things right.
"We have a son with a birth injury and reached out to the Tyrone Law Firm for representation. We have had nothing but the most productive and informative meetings/talks/phone conversations with them from the start. We truly feel that they are fighting for us...for OUR SON...and they are doing this because they believe in justice for OUR SON."
-Nicole West

Easter is a wonderful time to enjoy the outdoors and celebrate spring. For me, Easter brings memories of egg hunts in my grandparents' backyard with my brother and cousins, enjoying the grass, breeze and sunshine in a bright new dress. I also loved when the Easter bunny hid my basket, full of candy and toys, somewhere in the yard to find.
Outdoor activities are perfect additions to Easter baskets. Sidewalk chalk, bouncy balls and jump ropes are all classic picks—and don't forget the bubbles!
Bubbles are even more fun with the Bubble Buster, a bubble-bursting race game that counts your bubbles as you pop them. It's a Spring Top Toy!
This talking electronic game is as cute as a bug! The bug-shaped wand announces when it's time for Player 1 and then Player 2 to play. One player blows bubbles while the other pops. On your turn, pop as many bubbles as you can with the Bubble Buster's antennae, and a "ping" will sound on each one. When the timer runs out, the Bubble Buster will tally how many bubbles each player burst, and announce the winner!
This game encourages active play as kids run and jump to pop as many bubbles as possible. It's for ages 3 and up, and perfect for siblings, cousins and friends to play together.
The game includes a bubble wand, tray and 4 ounces of bubble solution in addition to the Bubble Buster. All you need is two AAA batteries.
Enjoy the sunshine, and Happy Easter!
I use my phone a LOT. I'm a new mom, so you bet I'm browsing Facebook during all those feeding sessions—and, of course, taking pictures of the baby every hour. After the first few weeks of motherhood, my hand was cramping up bigtime.
Then I got a PopSocket for my phone. I've had it for about four days, and I don't know how I survived without one!
PopSockets are clever stick-on devices that make using your smartphone much more comfortable and practical to use. They function as a grip, a stand, a cord wrap, and more!
When closed, PopSockets personalize your phone. They look like a decorative, half-dollar-sized circle on the back of your smartphone. They come in trendy designs for every taste—from wood grain to the American flag to donuts. Mine has a beautiful mandala-style elephant.
When you pop open the PopSocket by pulling it straight outward from your phone, you can prop up your phone to watch a video, hold the phone between two fingers comfortably for texting or selfies, or wrap your headphones around it.
It's also a great fidget item – the PopSocket makes a satisfying "pop" as you snap it closed! Don't worry about overdoing it – PopSockets are designed to expand and collapse 12,000 times.
PopSockets stick to your phone with a sticky gel. The PopSocket can be removed and repositioned many times. If the adhesive gets dirty, you can rinse it with water and let it dry to stick it again—just don't expose the gel to the air for more than 15 minutes, or it will dry out.
Unfortunately, they don't stick well to silicone phone cases or waterproof coatings. However, mine stuck just fine to my hard plastic, textured case.
PopSockets are also great for tablets, e-readers, the Nintendo 3DS, on your mirror to hang jewelry, and more.
Paired with the optional PopClip mount, you can even attach your phone to your car's dashboard for music, speakerphone and GPS!
Those Pringles commercials had it right: "Once you pop, you can't stop!"
Taking a bath has long been my favorite way to relax. Now that I'm a new mom, I appreciate it even more when I can snag 30 minutes in the tub.
I try to make it count by lighting scented candles, putting on some good music, and turning out the lights.
But now there's a new way to really deck out a bath – Da Bomb bath fizzers!
Da Bomb bath bombs turn your tub into a fizzy, scented, colorful oasis.
When the fizzing's over, the fun isn't – there's a surprise inside each bath bomb!
I was lucky enough to test an Earth Bomb, which has a "sea breeze" scent. As I watched it fizz, it turned my bath (but not my skin or tub!) a beautiful shade of blue.
The bath bomb bubbled away for about two minutes as I waited for my prize to emerge. Ta-da: A plastic shark was inside!
The soothing oils in the bath fizzer made my skin feel great and the bath even more luxurious. I'll definitely need more of these!
As a bonus, part of the proceeds of the Earth Bomb go toward saving the world's oceans – a cause near and dear to my heart as an aquarium lover.
Da Bomb bath bombs were created by two sisters, Isabel and Caroline, at the ages of 10 and 11. They are hand-made in the USA with only a few simple ingredients: baking soda, citric acid, food grade PEG, fragrance and pigments. They may look tasty (especially the ones with sprinkles) but they are not edible!
The prizes inside are small, so these bath bombs are not for young children. They range from sea creatures to pirate booty to famous quotes, depending on the style. Da Bomb bath bombs make perfect gifts for kids and adults, and they're great in Easter baskets!
They definitely are Da Bomb. (Do kids even say that anymore?)
Relax and enjoy!

Hot Coffee, a documentary film by Susan Saladoff, premieres on HBO tomorrow night at 9 pm (Eastern) / 8 pm (Central). The film explores what really happened in the infamous "McDonald's hot coffee" lawsuit. The movie looks at what actually happened to Stella Liebeck, why the case garnered so much media attention, who funded the effort, and who really profited from spilling hot coffee.
In addition to the McDonald's coffee case, Saladoff also examines three other cases that emphasize the importance of the American civil justice system created by our founding fathers and protected under our Constitution.
- 16-year-old Colin Gourley was severely brain damaged at birth due to medical malpractice. The jury awarded $5.65 million to care for him over his lifetime, but Nebraska's arbitrary damage caps meant his family could collect less than 20% of that amount.
- Oliver Diaz was a Mississippi state supreme court judge. Until millions of dollars were spent to unseat him and then false criminal charges levied against him. Even though Justice Diaz was cleared of the charges, he lost his seat on the supreme court, unable to overcome the negative publicity.
- Jamie Leigh Jones was a KBR/Halliburton employee serving in Iraq. At only 19-years-old, Jamie was drugged and raped by male KBR/Halliburton employees. Criminal charges could not be filed because critical evidence "disappeared". She sought to hold KBR/Halliburton accountable in civil court, but a mandatory arbitration clause buried in her employment agreement meant she could not have a trial by a jury of her peers. Now, five years later and only through special action by the United States Senate, Jamie will finally have her day in court.
The American civil justice system was created by our founders for a reason.
The 7th Amendment is the ultimate lynch pin for all other constitutional rights, which is why constitutional conservatives oppose attacks on 7th Amendment rights through tort reform. What is your remedy if someone violates your constitutional rights to free speech, to religious freedom, to keep and bear arms, to contract, etc.? These are civil law (or civil justice) claims in which you take the bad actor to court in order to have your rights protected. What happens when access to courts is limited? What happens when access to court is so lopsided that the average person cannot gain access? What happens when powerful lobbyists control the courts like they control other branches of government?
Tort "reforms" also have the perverse effect of bloating federal government and penalizing taxpayers through government funded bailouts of negligent actors. Imagine someone is paralyzed by a defective product, a negligent doctor or a drunk driver. Tort reform either excludes the plaintiff completely from the court system or limits the recovery to only a portion of the plaintiff's actual life care needs. The bad actor is relieved of personal (or corporate responsibility) and the burdens of the bad actions are borne by taxpayers in the form of Medicare, Medicaid and disability payments.
Join those on both sides of the political aisle in standing up for our Constitution, for preserving civil justice and accountability.

WRAPPING PAPER: Billy Missi; Blak Flair
Wrapping paper printed on 100% recycled paper stock with soy-based ink,
Based on Billy Missi's 2006 artwork Sapur au kubi (dark flock of bats).
ARTIST: Billy Missi, 1970- 2012, was from Kubin Village, Moa Island in Zenadh Kes (the Torres Strait).
Artwork details: Sapur au kubi, 2006, linocut printed in black ink from one block, edition of 90, 700 x 1000 mm. Published by Djumbunji Press KickArts Fine Art Printmaking.
Artwork story: During mango, almond and cashew nut season a lot of Sapur (flying foxes) come to our village and gardens. When the sun begins to set in the western sky, the Sapur usually come in flocks from the thick mangroves that fringe the coastline. The Sapur only come out at dusk to raid the fruit trees so that people cannot see them. Otherwise they would be targeted by hunters and chased away. Despite this they do make a lot of noise as they feed. The Sapur suck the juice out of the fruit and dispose of the rest making a lot of mess under the trees. They do this all night until morning breaks when they take flight back to their isolated, thick scrubs and mangroves.
Blak Flair is a KickArts creative merchandise project that has been generously supported by the Christensen Fund. The project aims to develop a collection of merchandise that portrays the work of Indigenous artists from Far North Queensland, to promote their work and cultural importance to the broader community.
Dimensions: 420 x 595mm

What if the wrong path is taken? Better yet, the wrong door is opened. It states in the Bible in
Revelation 3:7 (NIV) To the angel of the church in Philadelphia write:
These are the words of him who is holy and true, who holds the key of David. What he opens no one can shut, and what he shuts no one can open.
With this being promised, why do these questions arise? I listed only two with plenty others where those came from. The mind can have you thinking things that make you go hmm. It is very tricky.
One day I was thinking about all the things I wanted to do, and my mind started to ramble with the questions above. As I was thinking about my future, I had many ideas come to mind. My list started to increase with various activities and opportunities. For instance, I was wondering if the job I recently selected was the right choice. Should I have waited for another door to open or go forward with the opportunity. It is interesting how your mind can work so fast. It is like you have several people talking all at once. However, it came to mind one thing I did not think of beforehand. That was to pray. You'll be surprised how much prayer can change a situation. That's why I love the acronym, "Pray Until Something Happens." It's like I was thinking these things I wanted to do but never stopped to ask God what He wanted for me. Wow! Aha Moment! Some may think, "why should I have to ask someone else about what I wanted to do when all I have to do is act on it myself?" Well I can tell you from experience a powerful God created me and knows me better than I know myself, so why not ask? He surely knows how many hairs I have on my head because, again, he created me. So this is why I ask. Try it for yourself and share your experience, but remember to stop, breathe, and PUSH. In the end, I was driving myself crazy making lists all the time and all I had to do was stop, breathe, and pray.
Thanks to Priscilla Shrier for sharing this verse on her blog http://www.goingbeyond.com that I had to share.
1 Corinthians 7:17 (MSG)
17 And don't be wishing you were someplace else or with someone else. Where you are right now is God's place for you. Live and obey and love and believe right there. God, not your marital status, defines your life. Don't think I'm being harder on you than on the others. I give this same counsel in all the churches
