This week's challenge asks us to showcase a photo that represents Depth.
Imagine this. Waking up at 5:00 a.m., opening the sliding door, sitting on a comfy chair on the balcony, taking the first sip of fresh, mountain-grown coffee and watching the spectacular hues of mother nature's finest shows right before your eyes.
That's exactly what I experienced during my stay at Parador Resort & Spa in Costa Rica last year.
Since they are 2 hours behind (Eastern Time), my body instinctively knew it was time to wake up and start rolling 🙂
Now I have to admit that I don't watch the sunrise as often as I should at home. However something told me that this was going to be spectacular and it simply took my breath away. For once I was truly IN the moment! Nothing else mattered then.
It was almost like watching a movie outdoors and it was even better!
Oh did I even forget to mention that nature's original soundtrack, composed of birds chirping, monkeys howling and the light wind rustling the leaves was music to my ears, literally 🙂
It is an unforgettable moment that reached the depths of my soul.
I hope you enjoyed it.
To view even more amazing captures, head over to The Daily Post.
Pura Vida!

Some examples of flagellates include trypanosomes and Giardia lamblia. Trypanosome is a parasite that causes sleeping sickness when it comes into contact with a human. Giardia lamblia is also a parasite, and it causes distress in the stomach and intestines.
Giardia lamblia is typically found in rivers and mountain streams. Other types of flagellates include dinoflagellates, commonly found as plankton in both fresh and salt water, and euglena, which is a free-living type of flagellate. The volvox variety of flagellate, on the other hand, is typically found in colony clusters.
To qualify as a flagellate, the organism must have a single-cell nucleus and possess at least one flagellum that is used for both movement and sensation. A large majority of flagellates possess a firm outer covering or a coating that resembles jelly. Reproduction for these organisms involves both sexual and asexual methods.
Organisms under this category can be further divided into two different groups: phytomastigophorea and zoomastigophorea. The former are flagellates that resemble plants, while the latter resemble animals. Phytomastigophorea flagellates are able to produce food using photosynthesis. Zoomastigophorea flagellates, on the other hand, are found in the digestive tracts of small bugs and are able to absorb nutrients from cellulose.

Why the Space Shuttle Feels Right at Home Along L.A.'s Grand Boulevards
Christopher Hawthorne celebrates last weekend's march of the space shuttle Endeavour from the airport to the California Science Center, which was witnessed by throngs of people along crowded sidewalks and strip-mall parking lots, as "a natural expression of L.A. character."
"The cynical take on Angelenos - an idea that a surprising number of us continue to subscribe to - is that we are somehow afraid or dubious of public space and prefer to gather within protected, sanitized developments like CityWalk or the Grove shopping center," says Hawthorne. "But the truth is that we desire real interaction as much as the residents of any big city. We just happen to live, work and drive along boulevards that have been remade over the last five or six decades to favor cars to such a degree that such interaction has become difficult, and in some places nearly impossible."
"We may not have great public squares and many big neighborhood parks in Southern California, at least not compared to more traditionally organized cities such as New York, San Francisco and Chicago. But we have a vast network of wide, palm-lined boulevards, which along with our beaches and thanks to the climate - it was in the mid-80s Sunday, the 14th of October - give us a particular kind of public space that other cities lack."

North South Track - Mount Wellington
One of the best mountain bike specific trails presently on offer in Australia, The North South Track on Mt Wellington near Hobart has been built to an extremely high standard, with the workmanship and attention to detail on the trail the only thing likely to distract riders on this awesome descent.
The ride begins with a pickup from Hobart hotels before we drive to the Springs part way up Mt Wellington. From here we unload the bikes and begin the ride down the trail. The ride starts straight up with plenty of great flowing single tracks as we traverse through the wet Eucalypt forest on stage one of the trail, which takes us through to Junction Cabin. This first section is mostly a traverse with a few small undulations. There are plenty of alternative options along the way with Black Diamond rated log rolls and drop offs and jumps. Those at a novice level can easily avoid these. From the cabin a faster downhill section begins where the grin on your face will match the quality of the track, huge! We wind our way down through the open Eucalypt forest past well-constructed berms, an amazing rock bridge and more single track before we emerge at the Glenorchy Mountain Bike Park where there is the option to try out the dual slalom, 4 Cross or Downhill tracks.
We break for some lunch at the Glenorchy Picnic area before continuing back to your hotel on the cycle way.
The North South Track is suitable for all levels of mountain bike riders, however, previous experience will enhance your enjoyment of the ride. Please discuss with booking staff your expectations and experience and we will ensure we tailor the trip to suit you. Our guides all consider this trail a favourite, we have had several interesting groups including the North Melbourne Football Club who had a fantastic time and quickly adapting to the new skills required for Mountain Bike Riding. You're welcome to bring your own bike, ensuring it's of a suitable quality.
Cost: $250 Adult $225 Per child (Up to 13)
Departs: On demand
Includes: Transport from Hobart Hotels, Guide, bike hire, lunch/snacks

Has anyone else tried products from the Yes To range? What do you think about their ingredients?
Sarah x
I have heard a few things about this brand. I'm not that sensitive so would be OK with the ingredients. Will keep an eye out next time I'm in TK Maxx :)ReplyDelete
definitely worth a try if you see it as it's a good price even without a TK discount :)Delete
I bought this from TK Maxx too! I absolutely loved it, shame you didn't get on with it!ReplyDelete
That's great to hear, I don't dislike it just it dislikes me :)Delete
I really like Cucumber products, but I only like them for the smell. I have tried the Yes To Blueberries shampoo and it was ok, nowt special.ReplyDelete
I agree nice but nothing specialDelete
I hate to be the Negative Nancy but...I have had nothing but bad luck with Yes To products and won't buy them any more. They're not as natural as they claim and don't really seem to have any special ingredients in them to justify charging more. But what's worse is that I (and several other friends who tried them when they first got big) had horrible reactions to the products. Breakouts, burning, cystic acne...I mean really now, Yes To. Get your ish together. Don't claim to be so natural and wonderful and then include ingredients that ruin skin!!ReplyDelete
Thanks for the feedback and I agree with you no special ingredients and basically greenwashing customers.Delete
I'm using this at the moment actually, also from TKMaxx :-) I didn't read the label very well though as was in a rush, so I was a bit disappointed when I got it home and actually read it properly! I'm not sure why they added an artificial smell to it as personally I'm not that keen on the fragrance. I generally buy natural products that I can also use on my toddler but this sadly doesn't fit the bill.ReplyDelete
I also don't understand the need to fragrance everything but sometimes it can be to mask the scent of chemicals, that's why fragrance free products often have a 'scent' to them. I will probably pass on to someone else or just keep this in reserve, a wash once a week isn't too bad to deal.Delete

Feeling random today, so I'm starting a new series of posts where I give examples of the code I have used in my games, written in Javascript, and for use with Unity. Today I will post some code that will run when the player falls off a level. First you need a collider of some kind placed below the level; make it wide enough so that your player always lands on it when they fall of the level, and as far down as you want (but not so far it will take ages to fall to it). Make sure the collider is a trigger, then attach to it a script containing this code:
function OnTriggerEnter(other: Collider) { if(other.tag == "Player") { other.SendMessage("Die", SendMessageOptions.DontRequireReceiver); } else { Destroy(other.gameObject); } }
This code basically checks if the collider falling into the trigger is tagged "Player", and if so, it will send the message "Die" to the object, which will call the Die() function in any scripts attached to the player; this is useful for putting some respawn code in the Die() function, so the player gets respawned whenever they fall off the level. If the object isn't tagged "Player", then it simply gets destroyed, so enemies and scenery will just disappear rather than fall indefinitely. Just remember to tag your player as "Player", and then you're good to go! Also, it would help if someone could tell me why WordPress is colossally bad at letting me indent text, it was a pain to type this post, but I hope it helps anyway.
I'm also making progress with Project Spikes, and another update will come around pretty soon. For now, a teaser image!
Yeah, grayscale images ftw! Anyway, happy coding peoples!

Just wanted to share my excitement, I just purchased Sigma 60mm F2.8 DN and used it on Nex-5r. The image sharpness and overall rendering delivered by this lens is exceptional. It certainly lives up to its MTF graph
A picture would be better...;-)Rob C
w/ onionshttp://cfile29.uf.tistory.com/image/240FD444518C7563195ACA
They never show at normal size.
we just have different "normal sizes"... I do enjoy my photos as a whole and each part @ 100% magnification, you don't (or can't)
A few quick snaps on a way from B&H back to work:http://filebin.net/405sbhx20dNex-5R, 17 MB zip, developed in RawTherapee with a just bit of sharpening, saved as 95% jpgNo corrections for CA - there is none:)!
The picture of Skyline with all those windows has amazing details, right down to extreme corners.
Buildings? He offers pictures of buildings? Michael Ezra?Not at all what I had in mind.
I am not interested in retouching onion rings, I 'd rather have another lens on camera for such an occasion... having said that I certainly own lenses which have such rendering, including this one new S60/2.8, just for m43 mount.

Types of NGV Installation
1. NGV for Light Duty Vehicle2. NGV for Heavy Duty Vehicle
1.NGV for Light Duty Vehicle
Light duty vehicles are sedans, pickups and vans. This is how to use NGV in light duty vehicles.
1. Using NGV for sedans (Benzene engine)
These are divided into two types
1.1. Dedicated NGV
These are original equipment manufacturer (OEM). They are designed to use NGV fuel only and have NGV cylinders which are designed to fit in a perfect space.
1.2. Bi-fuel system
Both benzene and NGV fuels can be used and this is determined by a selection switch. This system is OEM or is adapted from the existing benzene engine by installing an NGV engine system. It is divided into two systems.
1.2.1 Fumigation SystemThe important component for this system is a gas mixer. It functions as a mixer of air and NGV at the precise rate for the right combustion before transmission to the engine. This system is suitable for a carburetor engine. There are two separated gas transmitting regulation systems.
1.2.2 Multi Point Injection System or MPIAn electronic control unit is used for this system to evaluate the mass flow of gas before transmitting it to the combustion chamber which operates the same as the benzene engine. This system is good for the benzene engine fuel injection system (EFI).
2. Using NGV for pickup and van (Diesel engine). There are two types of NGVs for diesel engines.
2.1 Dedicated NGV
These are original equipment manufacturer or diesel engine vehicles altered to run on NGV engines.
2.2 Diesel Dual Fuel System (DDF)This system has been designed to run only on diesel or on both. The ratio of NGV gas and diesel fuel depends on the engine itself and the quality of the CNG equipment used. The advantage of this system is that the vehicle can operate on diesel or on both by using a selection switch. There are two separate systems for emission regulation.
2.2.1. Fumigation Open- Loop System This is called an ordinary system or a mechanic control system. A field study of a pickup using local CNG reveals that the average amount of CNG used in place of diesel fuel is about 25-50 per cent. That means the cost is 15-35 per cent lower. Furthermore; soot and toxic dust are reduced as well.
2.2.2. Fumigation Closed- Loop System Unlike Fumigation Open - Loop System, CNG and diesel fuel emissions are controlled by a computer program. Operation is better, but the price is higher.
2.3 Re-poweringFor re-powering, an existing diesel engine is removed and replaced with a benzene engine. After that, NGV bi-fuel system equipment is installed. Recommendations in 1.2 should be followed.
2. NGV for heavy duty vehicles
Large NGV vehicles like trucks, trailers and transportation buses can be categorized into 4 types.
1. Original equipment manufacturer (OEM) which are separated into 2 types.
1.1. Dedicated NGVThis type is developed to run on NGV fuel. A spark plug is used in the ignition system. The advantage of this is it leaves less particles of matter in the air. The cost is 20-30 per cent higher than in diesel vehicles. The variance depends on the makes, models, and manufactured groups. In Thailand there is no domestic contribution plant for this, but Cummins are imported from Detroit, America, Daewoo and Hyundai from Korea.
1.2 Diesel Dual Fuel (DDF)These vehicles' engines are designed to use NGV and diesel fuel. Ignition operates on diesel and combustion system is linked to NGV. Now Caterpillar of America has manufactured engines of this type which run on NGV in place of diesel and can save up to 9 per cent in cost.
2. Improving diesel engines to use NGV fuel
2.1 Diesel dual fuel System (DDF)
Here, without any need to improve the actual engine, NGV equipment can be installed. It means the ignition can be operated, with full combustion, by the diesel engine, then it will operate on NGV. The performance capacity of using diesel and NGV depends on:
Thus, if high technology is used to tune NGV equipment to take place after diesel combustion, the expense will be lower. This system helps drivers make the best choice between diesel or NGV and diesel fuels by using the selection switch. The approximate distance that is covered before a re-fill of one CNG cylinder of 3-5 tanks of 140 litres of water each, is 300-500 kilometers. There are two fuel emission regulation systems.
2.1.1 Fumigation SystemThis is called a regular mechanic control or open system. The pressure regulation is maintained at less than 200 bars so the air can be taken into the gas mixer through the intake pipe. When the right ratio of air and NGV is used, the combustion system performs and then is transmitted to the engine. Some makes and models have installed the electronic control unit to regulate the NGV fuel emission to the combustion chamber. The efficiency of the combustion varies depending on the velocity of the engine. Under working conditions, test results of trucks, installed correctly with NGV equipment and running on local NGV fuel reveals an average usage of 25 – 50 per cent less than that of diesel. The highest comparison rate was up to 60 per cent. That means an expense reduction of 15-40 per cent. Furthermore; the amount of toxic particles and soot is also reduced.
2.1.2 Injection SystemThe pressure regulator reduces pressure in the cylinder to below 200 bars to mix gas with the air in the inlet manifold (single point injection). Then gas is transmitted to mix with air from other intake pipes of each barrel (multi point injection) at a precise ratio for the combustion before transmission to the engine. There are 3 separate types of injections in this system.
1. Single point injection (open -loop).This is an open system in which NGV and air are mixed in the inductive manifold and fuel emission is controlled by electric control unit (ECU). The NGV regulation will vary depending on the velocity of the engine. The burning quality depends on the perfection of design of the fuel regulation control program.
2. Single point injection (closed- loop).This system is a single point injection with closing loop. The combustion operates at the inductive manifold as in type a, but NGV fuel emission is controlled by the electric control unit under a computer program. This controls the precise amount of fuel to mix with the air and controls the NGV and diesel to the exact ratio for the right combustion system at different working conditions. Thus, the complete burning of NGV and diesel is satisfied and does not depend on the design of the hose of the injection or the engine sensor devices, such as: oxygen sensor, throttle position sensor etc. or the fuel regulation program or the particular ratio of NGV and diesel.
3. Multi point injection (closed- loop).The operation system is the same as in b, but gas and air mix in each intake pipe of each barrel. This system performs better, and provides more effective combustion and consumption rate of fuel exhaust emission than other DDF systems. Its price, however, is much more expensive than the others.
2.2 Dedicated retrofit
This involves the modification of the existing diesel engine to reduce the compression ratio from 17:1 to 11:1 by adjusting a barrel, cylinder head and installation of a spark plug for the ignition, also replacement of other equipment that is necessary for each make and model etc. and installation of NGV equipment to operate on NGV fuel. This system vehicle can run only on NGV; diesel can't be used. For the distance of 280-400 kilometres, 5-7 full NGV cylinders (140 litre water size each) are required. Here there are two types of NGV fuel emission systems.
2.2.1 Fumigation system (closed- loop)The gas mixer is installed with the inlet manifold so gas and NGV are mixed here at the precise ratio for the complete combustion before transmission to the engine. The electronic controlled unit with a computer program is also installed to check the right mass flow of NGV. Effective combustion is controlled by the modified barrel, and the engine contains engine sensors such as: oxygen sensor, throttle position sensor and NGV emission regulation program etc.
2.2.2 Multi point injection system (MPI) with closed -loopThe main components of this system are an electronic control unit, pressure regulator, gas distributor, oxygen sensor and throttle position sensor. CNG is transmitted to each intake pipe of each barrel and the particular ratio of air and gas is controlled by the electronic control unit to operate complete burning (Lambda=1) .The electric control unit receives the signal from the engine sensors and evaluates the emission of NGV to each intake pipe of each barrel to contribute the best combustion. The efficient combustion, the engine operation, the usage rate of the fuel and the exhausted emission are better than the fumigation system with closed- loop, but the price is higher.
2.3 RE-powering
Replace the diesel engine with an NGV engine (dedicated NGV) and use the existing chassis. The estimated grand total expense is about 1.0-2.0 million baht. It depends on the makes and models and the horsepower of the engines such as: Cummins, Detroit; NGV Omnitek, Caterpillar in America, Daewoo, Hyundai in Korea, Cummins in China and IVECO in Italy. Installation of NGV equipment is needed. If 5-7 cylinders, each of 140 litres of water are installed, the distance covered will be about 280-400 kilometres.

As I watched the Yankees C.C. Sabathia dominate the Los Angeles Angels last night, it got me thinking how the great game of baseball spread itself coast to coast and beyond. One war that caused the deaths of over 600,00 Americans also changed the fortunes of our modern world. Amidst the carnage, devastation and doldrums of the marches, one little game emerged that would spread across the country as soldiers took it back home and it became America's past time. What you had in the Civil War was people from all different parts of America coming into contact with each other. Things were passed along and taken back home. What TV, movies, and radio would do for American Culture in the 20th century, the Civil War did the same in the 19th century.
Baseball has always been, and will always be, the great American game.Walt Whitman stated long before the Civil War:
"I see great things in baseball. It's our game – the American game. It will take our people out-of-doors, fill them with oxygen, give them a larger physical stoicism. Tend to relieve us from being a nervous, dyspeptic set. Repair these losses and be a blessing to us."
Just as WP Kinsella so eloquently stated in Shoeless Joe, baseball has been, and always will be, an important part of America. It is a barometer of our times; past, present and future. But it was the Civil War which brought baseball across the continent. Expansion of the US started when Thomas Jefferson bought the Louisiana Purchase in 1803. Jefferson envisioned an America stretching from coast to coast. Over the next fifty years, Americans slowly moved westward leaving behind their loved ones and the game that would soon be born in the East. Baseball too, moved slowly with Manifest Destiny in the years before the war. As Americans moved towards war in the 1850s, baseball moved with it.
Author Michael Aubrecht states:
Although early forms of baseball had already become High Society's pastime years before the first shots of the Civil War erupted at Fort Sumter, it was the mass participation of everyday soldiers that helped spread the game's popularity across the nation. During the War Between the States, countless baseball games, originally known as "townball", were organized in Army Camps and prisons on both sides of the Mason Dixon Line. Very little documentation exists on these games and most information has been derived from letters written by both officers and enlisted men to their families on the home front.
Baseball played during the war was very different than the game we know today. Some rules included: The Striker (batter) gets to choose where he wants the pitch. The Pitcher must throw underhand. No leading off the bag. No base stealing. No foul lines. All balls are fair.
Other key facts:
- The name of the game itself varied from community to community – some teams played "round ball," while others played "town ball," "goal ball," "baste ball," "old cat," and "barn ball." Early versions of the sport required the pitcher to throw underhanded.
- Outfielders or "scouts" did not use gloves and the baseball itself was softer.
- Batters were called "strikers" who eagerly wished to hit "aces" or home runs.
- Outs were called "hands out."
- A pitcher stood on the "pitcher's point" and threw toward the "striker's point" where the striker (or batter) stood poised above the "plate" or what is now referred to as home plate.
- The plate itself was a white iron disk, tin plate turned upside down, or whatever could be found as a substitute.
- Fielders could retire batters by either catching the ball in the air or on one bounce.
- The more controversial practice of actually aiming the ball at runners to get them out was eventually banned.
Although the rules have changed, the things that make baseball great have not – a sweet single, a great catch, a well thrown ball, a ball hit in the gaps. These elements have been there since the beginning. It was the war that spread it across the nation which now spread from coast to coast. Just as America sped up after the Civil War, so too did baseball. The National League was formed in 1876 with 8 teams. The coming industrialization of America created more leisure time for a growing nation and baseball seamlessly fit into the new day. But it all got going near a battlefield far, far away…

The city's celebrity influx cries out for its own censushence our exhaustively researched, methodically compiled, first-ever Star Map. The addresses were culled from publicly available real-estate records, selected published reports, and widely used Internet directories as well as the occasional in-the-know friend or well-placed source. The names you see here aren't more important than those you don't see. But they are all certifiably boldfacey and they live, at least part of the time, in a location we were able to confirm, more or less. Out of consideration for our stalker-fearing fellow citizens, we opted not to print specific addresses. But you can still see, generally to within a block, where Drew Barrymore and Fabrizio Moretti live, that Uma Thurman and Julia Roberts could easily buy their lottery tickets at the same corner deli, where Kim Cattrall shares an elevator with Neil Sedaka, and that Herman Melville and Joey Ramone were practically neighbors (albeit in different centuries). And yes, you can also see which celebrities live on your own blockas if you care.

Radical Collaboration® is a methodology for building high-trust relationships in order to improve efficiency, productivity, innovation and agility. This workshop is particularly beneficial for people who want to create a highly collaborative working environment and who want to solve problems that arise in workplaces where different interests and opinions may create conflict.
Often workplaces lack sufficient collaboration skills which wastes time and resources. They are less creative, have higher employee turnover, lower trust, longer lead times and lower employee satisfaction. With the knowledge gained at our Radical Collaboration workshop your working culture will become highly collaborative, by creating a high trust environment with mustual support, cooperation, healthy risk taking, honesty and openness.
We help you master your collaborative skills
In a three-day programme of professional and personal development, the Radical Collaboration® training teaches how to skillfully navigate conflicts and turn adversarial situations into situations of trust and collaboration. It builds on five essential collaborative skills:
Collaborative intention – Stay non-defensive and commit to mutual success in relationships.
Truthfulness – Create a climate of honesty and openness that allows people to feel safe enough to discuss difficult issues.
Self-Accountability – Take responsibility for the consequences of your actions, both intended and unintended.
Awareness of Self and Others – Know yourself and others well enough to explore difficult interpersonal issues to solve problems.
Problem-Solving and Negotiation – Negotiate your way through inevitable conflicts, in a way that builds relationships rather than undermining them.
The training provides guidance through a variety of teaching strategies such as brief lectures, interactive exercises, guided imagery, self-assessment checklists, small group planning sessions, and individualized action planning. The participants will learn how subtle differences in their fundamental approach to problem-solving can support their collaborative efforts.
Why should your organization participate?
The programme is beneficial for everybody across all ages, professional contexts and social backgrounds. It helps you to:
Develop skills in establishing and solidifying partnerships and alliances based on truthfulness.
Get your interests met in negotiations and conflict resolutions.
Build and maintain long-term climates of trust.
Overcome defensiveness and support others to reduce their defensiveness.
Improve listening skills and create a safe place to work on difficult issues.
Gain personal insights into attitudes and behaviours for conflict situations.
This workshop enhances social and problem-solving skills that empower its participants to deal with difficult people and situations. It shows how conflicts can be resolved successfully and how a transformation of an internal competition can be transformed into a trust-based working culture.
The impact of Radical Collaboration®
The Radical Collaboration® training has proven to make a big difference in any organization, in a short amount of time. The study from J. Kotter and James Heskett on the relationship between culture and performance conducted on more than 200 companies, shows that strategies and practices that continuously adapt to the market environment, as well as collaborative skills, are essential to ensure long-term profitability. Companies with collaborative cultures (Green Zone) greatly outperform the ones with adversarial cultures (Red Zone). Our Radical Collaboration® workshop will bring your team into the Green Zone!
This is Jim Tamm's Ted-Talk on collaboration:
What our former participants say
On average our participants, of the Radical Collaboration trainings in 2017, had the opinion that:
This training was a worthwhile investment in my career and/or personal development.
I will be able to apply the knowledge and skills learned to my job.
This training will improve my job performance.
I would recommend this training to a friend.
Being radically collaborative is not just the "nice thing" to do. It is objectively more efficient than traditional collaboration.
You may have a great impact on the collaboration's dynamics and outcomes whatever the counterpart's approach, just by consciously practising radical collaboration's principles.
— Monica G.
"I learned to create a work environment in which team members can contribute, feel valuable and collaborate efficiently and solution-oriented. The training was a clear benefit to improve the quality and productivity in collaboration."
— Andri H.
"The training showed me the importance of being aware of my own behaviour patterns. Furthermore, I experienced valuable tools and approaches to overcome conflicts."

How amazing would our lives and world become, if we all had a deeply fulfilling, daily spiritual practice that we could actually do, and that helped us live an awakened life of meaning, wholeness, and contribution? It's a question worthy of contemplation. If each of us can find answers to it that are appropriate for us personally, we can empower ourselves to change our lives for the better and collectively work to heal our planet.
Today, we're excited to announce a FREE special teleseminar hosted by Terry Patten, called The 3 Essential Practices of an Integral Spiritual Life: How to Gradually, Yet Profoundly, Deepen Your Life while Serving the Evolution of Our World. The live broadcast is Tuesday, March 1st, at 5:30 pm PST, 8:30 pm EST, and it's available by download right afterwards.
Terry is not just the host of Beyond Awakening but also a teacher and an activist for urgently needed change, inside ourselves and out. He's the co-author with Ken Wilber and others of the definitive book, Integral Life Practice. And this teleseminar will outline the core elements of an approach that he's been developing and testing with very good effects for a very long time.
In his presentation, Terry will acknowledge (among other things) that new responses to the great questions of how to live are urgent necessities today. Before Gautama Buddha awakened under the bodhi tree, he wasn't dealing with spam, computer viruses, voicemail, insurance claims, credit ratings, childcare, coordinating busy schedules, or other such things. And even Ramana Maharshi, who lived in India in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, couldn't have dreamed of our plugged-in, over-informed, over-stressed lifestyles.
In so many important ways human life has improved tremendously and gotten easier. Yet in other respects we face challenges to our serenity and happiness that the ancients and even more recent sages could not have fully anticipated. And many of us suffer and struggle with them every day.
Terry is one of the leading edge teachers today who are boldly refashioning both the practices and the underlying assumptions we need to be able to live the spiritually fulfilling lives we seek. There are ways for us to overcome our present-day challenges, and he will be talking about that and more in his free teleseminar.
Terry's approach may prove to be just right for you at this stage of your journey. You can listen live, or hear the recording afterwards. Click here to register and instantly receive teleseminar access information.

Study in one of the largest Geography programs in any university in Canada. Whether you're pursuing your Bachelor of Science and focusing on physical geography or gaining expertise about human geography through a Bachelor of Arts, York's program offers you the world at your doorstep.
Geography is the science of place and space. Geographers ask where things are located on the surface of the earth, why they are located where they are, how places differ from one another, and how people interact with the environment. There are two main branches of geography: human geography and physical geography.
Geographers also study the linkages between human activity and natural systems. Geographers were, in fact, among the first scientists to sound the alarm that human-induced changes to the environment were beginning to threaten the balance of life itself. They are active in the study of global warming, desertification, deforestation, loss of biodiversity, groundwater pollution, and flooding.
In the Faculty of Liberal Arts & Professional Studies, the Bachelor of Arts (BA) Geography program focuses on human geography - how people and their activities are distributed across the globe and how people create and sustain the places that make up the earth's surface. You'll learn how to use geographical theory and methodology to solve real-world problems that have a geographical dimension — urban and regional planning, transportation, tourism and international relations and more. Human geographers work in the fields of urban and regional planning, transportation, marketing, real estate, tourism, and international business.
In the Faculty of Science, the Bachelor of Science (BSc) degree emphasizes physical geography, which examines the physical, chemical and biological processes that occur in the immediate vicinity of the Earth's surface. Physical geographers study patterns of climates, land forms, vegetation, soils, and water. They forecast the weather, manage land and water resources, and analyze and plan for forests, rangelands, and wetlands. Many human and physical geographers have skills in cartography and geographic information systems. Field work is also emphasized, including outdoor laboratory sessions, field trips and periodic field courses in Southern Ontario as well as to remote and exotic regions.
- We are addressing some of the most pressing issues facing human kind today.
- We are committed to hands-on learning, using modern technologies and doing field work to get the facts on the ground, whether they are on the streets of Toronto or in the streams of the Arctic.
- You will be able to use our range of impressive facilities for computing and research. For example, the Geoinformatics Research Lab, the climate laboratory and a web development facility.
- You'll also have the opportunity to immerse yourself in our extensive map library.
- Why not check out the Undergraduate Geography Students Club and take advantage of Alumni Career events during the school year.

Internationalize your degree
The iBA degree program reflects York's commitment to internationalization and requires you to acquire an international language and to gain international experience on exchange at one of York University's partner institutions abroad. You will benefit from enhanced interdisciplinary and cross-cultural knowledge, which are important components of the department's academic focus. Visit the International program page for more information.
You are required to provide official evidence of academic achievement in secondary education. This can be demonstrated through:
- Final grades under the Ontario curriculum (obtained through correspondence, night school or through TVO)
- Credentials through other curricula, such as results from Advanced Placement (AP) or Advanced-level courses in the General Certificate of Education (GCE). (Students may register to sit for the AP and GCE examinations as private candidates.)
In the absence of final grades in courses:
- You must submit the results of standardized tests such as the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) with a minimum combined total of 1170 on the Critical Reading and Math components or a composite American College Testing (ACT) score of 24.
- Your application will be reviewed by an admissions sub-committee. If admitted, you will not be eligible for entrance scholarships. You will be considered for continuing student scholarships at the end of your first year of study, if you satisfy those criteria.
You may also be required to provide proof of language proficiency. You will be considered for entrance scholarships on the basis of your overall averages in the six 4U/4M (Ontario curriculum) or equivalent courses.
We are adding to our database of admission requirements by country. Please check back in October for additional admission requirements by country. General requirements are currently available by country — note that program-specific requirements may apply in addition to general requirements.

How to Model Linear Data Relations with R
An analysis of variance for your data also can be written as a linear model in R, where you use a factor as a predictor variable to model a response variable.
Of course, predictor variables also can be continuous variables. For example, the weight of a car obviously has an influence on the mileage. But it would be nice to have an idea about the magnitude of that influence. Essentially, you want to find the equation that represents the trend line. You find the data you need for checking this in the dataset mtcars.
How to build a linear model
The lm() function allows you to specify anything from the most simple linear model to complex interaction models.
To model the mileage in function of the weight of a car, you use the lm() function, like this:
> Model <- lm(mpg ~ wt, data=mtcars)
You supply two arguments:
A formula that describes the model: Here, you model the variable mpg as a function of the variable wt.
A data frame that contains the variables in the formula: Here, you use the data frame mtcars.
You can specify many complex models with the formula interface when you know your way around.
The resulting object is a list with a very complex structure, but in most cases you don't need to worry about that. The model object contains a lot of information that's needed for the calculations of diagnostics and new predictions.
How to extract information from the model
Instead of diving into the model object itself and finding the information somewhere in the list object, you can use some functions that help you to get the necessary information from the model. For example, you can extract a named vector with the coefficients from the model using the coef() function, like this:
> coef.Model <- coef(Model) > coef.Model (Intercept) wt 37.285126 -5.344472
These coefficients represent the intercept and the slope of the trend line. You can use this to plot the trend line on a scatterplot of the data. You do this in two steps:
You plot the scatterplot with the data.
You use the plot() function for that.
You use the abline() function to draw the trend line based on the coefficients.
The following code gives you the plot:
> plot(mpg ~ wt, data = mtcars) > abline(a=coef.Model[1], b=coef.Model[2])
The abline() argument a represents the intercept, and b represents the slope of the trend line you want to plot. You plot a vertical line by setting the argument v to the intercept with the x-axis instead. Horizontal lines are plotted by setting the argument v to the intercept with the y-axis.
Below is an overview of functions to extract information from the model object itself. These functions work with different model objects, including those built by aov() and lm().
Many package authors also provide the same functions for the models built by the functions in their package. So, you can always try to use these extraction functions in combination with other model functions as well.
|What It Does
|Returns a vector with the coefficients from the model
|Returns a matrix with the upper and lower limit of the
confidence interval for each coefficient of the model
|Returns a vector with the fitted values for every
|Returns a vector with the residuals for every observation
|Returns the variance-covariance matrix for the coefficient

This Slow Cooker Jalapeno Pineapple Ham is sweet and spicy and goes great with the usual fixings!
Hi all! If you like spicy food, then you will enjoy this ham recipe. The ham turns out sweet and spicy. In the past on my other ham recipes some will comment that ham doesn't need to be cooked very long, I agree. The slow cooker takes a while to warm up an entire ham, and in that time, a wonderful sauce forms from the brown sugar, onions, pineapple and jalapeno. The 6 hour cooking time on low doesn't overcook the ham.
This dish to me has a southern flavor to it and goes great with the usual ham fixings like mashed potatoes or even baked beans.
Wouldn't this be a great recipe for Easter? Something different but wonderfully delicious. Have a great week!
- 6 lb. picnic shoulder ham
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 small white onion, diced
- 20 oz. can pineapple chunks
- 2 jalapenos, sliced
Slow Cooker Size:
- 6 quart or larger
- Add the ham to the slow cooker, add the brown sugar, onion, pineapple chunks with the juices and the jalapenos.
- Cover and cook on LOW for 6 hours without opening the lid during the cooking time.
- Slice and serve with juices and the cooked pineapple and jalapenos.

Subtitles are text versions of the speech content of television and other audiovisual media. The paper discusses the results of a survey of deaf people in Poland and the UK on their experiences of, attitudes to and requirements for subtitles, including for the representation of emotions and contextual features.
The 1 in 4 Poll project seeks to increase understanding of the views and needs of people with a disability by developing an accessible survey method. It is being conducted by Deakin University in partnership with the Victorian disability service provider, Scope. The poll method has focused on three key strategies: an accessible Internet-based survey; use of an assisted and proxy report; and a ?standard? and Easy English version of the survey.
The USO ensures access to voice communication services for all Australians. The obligation has changed very little in comparison to the telecommunications market and consumers? use of services. This presents a number of gaps and risks for consumers, such as data and mobile services. However, updating the obligation to include these services alone will likely fail consumers. This paper argues for a new framework based on a principle of contactability. This new framework will have four key areas: availability, affordability, accessibility and service standards. A further two areas; online service delivery and literacy and empowerment, are also needed to fully ensure contactability is achieved.
How do older Australians engage with news online? Drawing on a survey of Australians aged 41-84, this exploratory study examines the preferences of participants in news engagement, the role of presentation and distribution of online news in engagement and perceived barriers to accessing news online and on mobile devices.
Reports on the use of mobile phones and the internet in remote Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities in Australia. It reinforces the need for more research into barriers to phone and internet usage by Aboriginal and Torres Strait people in remote areas, as well as the importance of informing remote community members of their telecommunications rights.
The September issue provides an interesting look at the National Broadband Network: and how it is perceived to have problems that need to be resolved; how telecommunications is having an effect on the lives of Australians, with discussion on how older Australians engage with online news; and how mobile phone use in remote Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities is a balance between opportunity and affordability. Papers on future digital service delivery and metadata retention provide a balance between identifying future use and how authorities are looking our telecommunications usage.
In understanding commonalities between minority groups in relation to access and affordability, the paper argues that these can no longer be considered ?minority? issues as they affect a significant proportion of the Australian population. Rather, affordability needs to be framed as part of a wider discussion about access and accessibility. Furthermore, notions of access and accessibility should be emphasised and clearly distinguished from mere availability.

The Legacy of Sin
When sin creates a rift in our life, or the lives of those whom we are close to, the response is often bewilderment. Hasn't Jesus conquered sin? we might think. Why is this still so damaging? What we are struggling with in those moments is distinguishing the punishment for our sins from the natural consequences of it. And while Jesus absorbs sin's punishments, he does not always remove every consequence.

What is required to reserve our wedding date with you?
A non-refundable retainer of $500 is required to secure your wedding date. Bookings are taken on a first-come, first-serve basis. I do not require a deposit to book an engagement session.
When will we be able to see our wedding photos?
Digital processing takes approximately 4-6 weeks. Your wedding package to include a thumbvdrive and prints will be sent upon receiving your mailing address. You will also receive a password protected online gallery/slideshow of your wedding photos 4-6 weeks after your wedding to share with family and friends. Anyone can order prints through this gallery. The gallery will be available for up to a year after you receive the photographs.
Do you provide the high-resolution photos?
Absolutely! All images delivered to you are fully edited and color corrected in high and low resolution. You will receive the images in 4 formats - color for printing (300dpi), color in web resolution (72dpi), black and white for printing (300dpi), and black and white in web resolution (72dpi).
Will you, Kyle Hale, be photographing the wedding, or will someone else?
I photograph 100% of all weddings I book.
Do you work with an assistant or 2nd shooter?
I currently do not use an assistant at weddings I shoot. I offer the option to book a professional 2nd shooter for an additional $550 fee. I will deliver an additional 200 photos from the 2nd shooter that are edited by me.
Do you have insurance for your photography service?
Yes, I have business liability insurance with Traveler's insurance. Please let me know if you or your venue require proof of insurance.
Do you take any family photos at the wedding?
Yes, my wedding package includes family shots in every possible combination you and I can come up with together. It is strongly encouraged that a family shot list is provided to me before the wedding and that you tell your officiant and family members to stick around for pictures immediately following the ceremony. The less time spent chasing down family members for pictures means more time for pictures for you and your significant other.
What should we wear or bring to our engagement/portrait session?
Whatever you feel comfortable in and whatever style that best suits you. I advise clients to be themselves and to think what about how they would like to look back on these images in the years to come. I don't mind doing styled shoots, but I reserve the right to say 'No' to certain styles of shoots to preserve my artistic integrity.
Can I upload my engagement/portrait and/or wedding photos to online sites such as Facebook, Pinterest, Flickr, etc once I receive the DVD(s)?
Yes, you can upload the images wherever you like online. Please note that these images are only for personal use, and not for the use of gaining profit by selling to a company as outlined in my contract. I also request that any images uploaded online provide photo credit to Kyle Hale, and if you are feeling generous, a link back to my website www.kylehale.net (support small business!)
What kind of equipment do you use?
All Nikon professional camera equipment including a Nikon D800 and D700, 24mm f/1.4, 35mm f/1.4, 45mm TS-E, 50mm f/1.4, 85mm f/1.4, 70-200 f/2.8, 24-70mm f/2.8, SB600 speedlights, pocket wizards, Mac Pro, Lightroom, Photoshop, and backup equipment in case of equipment failure.
Do you give us or offer the option to purchase the RAW files or undelivered JPEG's?
Unfortunately, I do not offer or sell my RAW files or undelivered JPEG's of your engagement/portrait session and/or wedding. The photos that I deliver are the best photos that I have spent a large number of hours editing to select the best ones for you.
Do you edit or 'photoshop' any of our photos, i.e. blemishes, unflattering angles?
I do edit images to an extent in my workflow. If there is an unflattering angle, you will never see this photo. If there are noticeable blemishes in close-up shots, they will be removed. It is very important that brides either hire a professional hair and make up artist, or have someone equally capable to do the job. It's always a better idea to be proactive regarding makeup, rather than the photographer attempt to 'photoshop' imperfections. I will re-edit photos after they have been delivered at a cost that is agreed upon.
How many photos will we receive from an engagement session and/or wedding?
A minimum of 100 photos from your engagement session and a minimum of 500 images from your wedding day. I typically deliver more photos than what is listed, but I offer these numbers as a base amount and guarantee of photos I provide.
How many hours of coverage do we receive from you as our photographer for our engagement session and/or wedding day?
For your engagement or portrait session, you will receive approx 2 hours of coverage. I typically provide locations for clients, but location suggestions are always welcomed!
For your wedding day, my coverage is limited to 10 hours.
Do you travel for weddings?
You bet! I have traveled across the entire U.S.A and internationally for a number of weddings. I do require airfare, transportation to and from airport and lodging to be provided. I'm very easy to accommodate, so even a couch will do just fine!
Do you offer wedding albums?
I currently outsource my albums to a few professional vendors. Please use my contact form if you have more questions about albums for your wedding day.
Can wedding guests take photos while you are taking photos during the ceremony and after the ceremony?
Absolutely. I don't mind relatives taking pictures at all. However, if someone is obstructing a view that I may need to use to take a photograph, I will kindly ask them to move.
When is the final payment due?
The final payment for wedding photography is due on the day of the wedding. Any additional services such as rehearsal dinner, 2nd photographer, cost of gas, venue or parking fees, sales tax (applicable to Georgia residents) will be included in the final invoice. The final payment for engagement photography is due on the day of the session. Sales tax applies to both wedding and engagement photography if you are a Georgia resident.
Any additional questions, please contact me at email@example.com

BXL Cafe in NYC, NY
Menu wise, they have some interesting items, going from traditional (like the chicons or moules frites) to classic American like their burger. For our appetizer, we decided to go with the croquettes aux truffes that were quite delicious, the golden brown outside being very slightly crispy, enveloping a nice and gooey mushroom filling.
Wafels and Dinges in the East Village
Porter House in NYC, NY
It has been a while since we wanted to go back to Porter House, the fancy steakhouse located in the Time Warner Center at Columbus Circle. We went there three years ago for a lunch during Restaurant Week and promised ourselves that we we will go back for dinner one day. That day had come. We went on a Friday and I could not believe how packed this place was. I wished we had a table next to the windows so we could have a view of Columbus Circle, but unfortunately, it was not possible.
Lunch at The Grand Central Oyster Bar
On a weekday, Jodi and I decided to have lunch at Grand central Oyster Bar, a place I always wanted to try. We went for a late lunch and, when we arrived, this place was packed and noisy. Fortunately, half way to our meal, people started to leave. This is an amazing place, benefiting from the beautiful architecture of the famous train station.
Le Grainne Cafe in Chelsea
We were leisurely walking in Chelsea when we saw Le Grainne Cafe, a French restaurant that was packed for a late Saturday brunch (when we arrived for sure, the restaurant emptying as we left). You would think that the name is French, but in fact not really. Yes, there is a word for grain that is very close to that (La Graine), but in fact, Grainne is the name of the Irish owner of the restaurant.
BBQ at Stacks Pancake House and Cafe in Hoboken, NJ
It's been a while since we wanted to go to Stacks Pancake House and Cafe, but I admit that I always got discouraged by the line outside on the weekends. So, when we got an opportunity to go for lunch on a weekday, we did not hesitate. I went there back in 2012, at the time when it did not offer the BBQ menu that was introduced much later.

NYC Ferry event at The Rockaway Brewing Company in Long Island City
I was recently invited by NYC Ferry to an influencer event at the Rockaway Brewing Company in Long Island City. NYC Ferry will launch a new service in the Summer stretching 60 miles of waterway routes, so New Yorkers (and others) can discover new parts of the city, taste new flavors and embark on new cultural adventures in Manhattan, Brooklyn and Queens.
Truffle Burger from Urbani Truffles and Pat LaFrieda
Opened since 1852, Urbani Truffles is a 6 generation family business that can argue to be the largest purveyor of truffles in the world, with approximately 18,000 truffle hunters, sourcing this delicious fungus mainly in Italy, France, Spain and Australia. Urbani Truffles is not unknown to me as I use some of their products when cooking and I was excited when invited to their truffle lab for a happy hour of truffle burgers and beer
5 Napkin Burger on the Upper East Side
My cousin Sarah was visiting and wanted to have a burger, a classic dish representing Americana. She lives in the U.K. Where they often go to Shake Shack that has an outpost (maybe several) in London, so not craving it, but still wanting to eat one in New York. She told us that she heard good things about Black Iron Burger, but, based on a previous disappointing experience there, I persuaded her to go 5 Napkin Burger, one of my top burger places in the city.

Dinner at Tout Va Bien in Midtown
I recently went back at Tout Va Bien, a French restaurant Midtown with an interesting kind of overdone decor and a nice atmosphere filled with French music. Not the best French restaurant in town, but it serves a pretty decent food with prices that are not outrageous. Tout Va Bien has been feeding the New York crowd since 1948, a longevity that cannot be ignored for sure.
Deal alert: Ruth's Chris Steakhouse lunch
Looking for good deals at steakhouses, I heard about the lunch prix-fixe at Ruth's Chris from one of my colleagues and decided to check it out. For a little less than $29, they offer a 2 1/2 course with a pretty interesting selection of dishes. 2 1/2 is an odd number and you will soon understand what the 1/2 is...
China Green Dim Sum in Hell's Kitchen - Closed
Alright, I admit that China Green was not our first choice: we wanted to try Dim Sum Palace in Hell's Kitchen as we keep seeing a large crowd each time we passed in front of it. I was surprised how big the place was, with its dining room in the back. It was not as crowded as the other place, but still, we decided to give it a try.
Kelley and Ping in Greenwich Village - Closed
Hidden in a paved street of Soho, Kelley and Ping is a surprising find in an area crowded with tourists from all over the world. We went there last Friday, after receiving an invitation from the restaurant and I was definitely curious to try their pan-Asian dishes, some of them being inspired by street food. Entering there is like stepping into another world and forgetting that you are in Manhattan.
Up and Coming dish in New York: Cassoulet
I was recently interviewed by the news agency, KeepInNews, who was investigating the popularity of cassoulet, a hearty French dish that is more and more proposed on menus in New York restaurants. The footage (copyright TV5Monde) that you can watch below has been broadcasted on TV5MONDE, a global television channel in French.

On an ideal airborne day, and amid ceremonial music from the 82nd Airborne Division band, the XVIII Airborne Corps and Fort Bragg community welcomed its newest commander, Lt. Gen. Daniel B. Allyn, who assumed command at Fort Bragg�s Main Post Parade Field, June 22.
Gen. David M. Rodriguez, commanding general, U.S. Army Forces Command, presided over the ceremony and welcomed Allyn and his Family back to Fort Bragg. He assured the community that it was receiving a highly, efficient leader.
�It�s a special day for the Allyn Family, this community and, most importantly, for the Soldiers, noncommissioned officers and officers of the XVIII Airborne Corps,� said Rodriguez. �Today marks a special transition in the corps headquarters as we mark the passage of responsibility to Lieutenant General Allyn, the 36th commander of XIII Airborne Corps.�
Allyn is a native of Berwick, Maine, and a graduate of the United States Military Academy at West Point.
Prior to re-joining the XVIII Abn. Corps, Allyn commanded the 1st Cavalry Division, including duty as the Commanding General, Combined Joint Task Force-1 and Regional Command East in Afghanistan. Allyn previously served as the deputy commanding general, XVIII Abn. Corps, and chief of staff, XVIII Abn. Corps, which included duty as chief of staff, Multi-National Corps-Iraq.
He reiterated his resolve and commitment to leading and assuming the responsibilities as commander of America�s Contingency Corps.
�I fully accept the magnitude of this charge to lead and serve our Army�s finest Soldiers and leaders,� said Allyn. �Since the founding of the XVIII Airborne Corps sixty-eight-years ago, our legacy remains true today, which is to be our nation�s primary strategic response force.
�It is not if, but more when, our nation calls us to rapidly respond to global crisis, as we have throughout our history,� Allyn said.
�The strength of our troopers, whether in harms way or at home station, remains in our Army Families,� said Allyn. �Families are our nation�s treasure, as you all endure so much and ask so little for the love of your trooper and your country.
�Thank you for all that you do and all that you will do for the days ahead. It is an honor to serve as your corps commander,� said Allyn.
Following his speech, Allyn concluded with a simple message to the Soldiers and Families of XVIII Abn. Corps and Fort Bragg.

SoDel Cares held its second annual fundraiser Oct. 1 at Fish On in the Villages of Five Points in Lewes. Fish On is one of the nine restaurants owned by SoDel Concepts, which started SoDel Cares in 2015 to honor the company's founder, the late Matt Haley, who was nationally recognized for his philanthropy.
"Matt created a company culture that is dedicated to giving back to the community," said Mike Dickinson, vice president of SoDel Concepts. "He firmly believed that you should help those in need every day and in any way possible. We are committed to carrying on his legacy."
In its first year, SoDel Cares donated funds to local charaties that benefit children, at-risk youth, adults re-entering society from the prison system, and the elderly who need assistance. Some of the beneficiaries include The Harry K. Foundation, Primeros Pasos, Pathways to Success, Meals on Wheels Lewes/Rehoboth, Surfers Healing and Camp Barnes.
"We are overwhelmed by the outpouring of support we received this year from our community. We received donated goods and services from so many fellow business people and friends, and the turnout for the event was amazing," said Lindsey Barry, SoDel Concepts controller, who has been with the company for more than 11 years. "This year's event was a great party, filled with local business people, state representatives, volunteers from community-based charities and SoDel employees. I think everyone had a really good time."
SoDel Cares is managed by the Delaware Community Fund, an organization dedicated to facilitating philanthropy throughout Delaware. The Matthew James Haley Trust announced it will match funds raised at the event, and SoDel Concepts also pledged to donate a matching amount, tripling the total earnings for the evening.
To make a donation to SoDel Cares via the Delaware Community Fund, go to www.sodelcares.com and click on the donate button. To mail a donation, send a check payable to SoDel Cares; c/o Delaware Community Foundation, 36 The Circle; Georgetown, DE 19947-4393..

There is no doubt that tendon problems can be among the most frustrating injuries for people. Because tendons attach muscles to bone, tendon problems can therefore interfere with movements all over your body from lifting your arm (Rotator Cuff tendinopathy), to holding an object (tennis elbow) to walking (hip tendinopathy), to squatting (knee tendinopathy) and even to pushing off your foot (Achilles tendinopathy).
However, new research from Sydney and Glasgow is uncovering what is really going wrong with tendons and how well-designed physiotherapy can deliver better outcomes than surgery.
What is tendinopathy?
Tendinopathy literally refers to tendon pain. It can be extremely debilitating, with at least 40% of all general practitioner consultations involving a tendon problem. Historically, tendon problems haven't been treated very well because the underlying disease process wasn't very well understood.
Who is at risk?
The typical person who tends to suffer from tendon problems is a person in their mid 40's to 50's who is moderately active. Initially, they experience pain following an activity which then becomes more constant often waking them from sleeping at night and worse at the end of the day.
With probing questions, it is often discovered that the pain is related to a repetitive movement. Classic examples of repetitive movement as the cause of tendinopathies include prolonged swimming, playing guitar or painting for shoulder tendinopathies, using the mouse, pruning and knitting for elbow tendinopathies and walking or running for Achilles tendinopathies.
The latest research and the latest discoveries
We've known for 30 years that instead of the tendon being pristine, white, type I collagen which is as strong as steel, the injury has transformed it into the more ragged, greyish, weaker and painful type III collagen. The only problem is that we haven't known why, until recently when it was discovered that the switch for dialing up or down type III collagen becomes dis-regulated.
What the recent research has shown, is that it is mechanical tension or specific strengthening exercises that can re-regulate this switch. The question is how much and how often should exercises be performed for optimal adaptation. Too little and the tendon degenerates (use it or lose it). Too much and the tendon breaks down further.
Professor Jill Cook at Latrobe University has shown that isometric exercises (strengthening exercises where the muscle develops tension but there is no movement of the joint) performed initially have been shown to reduce tendon pain and begin the process of remodeling the tendon.
What you need to do to get better and return to the activities that you want to do.
However, to return to the sports and activities that you want to do requires a whole lot more than just strengthening the tendon in an isolated way. Yes, you need to strengthen the tendon so that it can tolerate forces above and beyond the stresses that it will be placed under. But more than that, you need to strengthen associated muscles, correct sports, and functional technique and finally you need to improve the tendon's endurance, so that it can tolerate these forces over and over again.
Failure to complete this extensive rehabilitation will result in just short term pain relief from your pain. It is simple physics. You cannot load a tissue beyond what it has been trained to tolerate and expect it not to break down.

text: Halted journey?...The journey halted halfway as it begins long time ago just because the traveller is not provided for the shoes which is used to be supplied just for the very FIRST time (failed the very simple test). Despite heading towards a good venture of life and a new world, the traveller chooses to stop as the traveller no longer being pampered. Questions arise, why choose to travel initally? Why can't find a solution? The traveller should walk on his/her own bare foot in order to reach to the final destination. If the traveller has strong DETERMINATION and WILL as well as CLEAR of his/her aims or targets, a small minor obstacle shall not make him/her to surrender. An obstacle would make a person grow stronger should ones able to overcome it. Furthermore, it was only a first ever test which proven that the traveller is so fragile. The decision is up to the traveller. Should the traveller realized the wonderful of the journey, the traveller shall continue. Perhaps, the following journey might be provided with total attention after all the only one preliminary test has over. The initiative to make actions depends on the traveller.

About Face: Facial Recognition Technology to Protect Your Identity - More than thirty-five state Driver's License Agencies use facial recognition technology to confirm, that an applicant is who he or she claims. This document explains the process and how the technology can help identify criminal imposters who may try to assume your identity to obtain a driver's license.
Public Law 109-13: Establishing Minimum Standards for State Motor Vehicle Agencies - Public law 109-13 became effective on May 11, 2008, when implementing regulations became final. The law, known as the REAL ID Act, was a direct result of the 9/11 Commission's findings and was passed by Congress in 2005. PL 109-13 addresses driver's license and ID fraud by setting specific requirements for the states to voluntarily comply.
Preventing Imposter Voter Fraud – As more states consider mandatory photo identification for voting, reliable driver's licenses and state issued IDs become increasingly important. REAL ID security benchmarks help state Driver's License Agencies implement cutting-edge procedures and technology that protect the integrity of IDs used for voting.
Societal Costs of Fake IDs: Federal law requires states to enforce laws that prohibit persons under 21 from drinking alcohol, yet counterfeit IDs in the college environment have been largely treated by society as a minor juvenile offense. This document looks at the consequences of obtaining or using a counterfeit or other person's identification to consume alcohol while underage.
Counterfeit IDs: A National Security, Public Safety Threat - Hundreds of thousands of counterfeit driver's licenses and ID cards are in circulation in the United States. Most are being produced and sold from overseas. This document looks at counterfeit IDs through the lens of national security and public safety and what steps can be taken to reduce the threat of counterfeit IDs.
Off the Cuff Identification? – This law enforcement document directed at U.S. sheriff departments explains how REAL ID compliant identification aids in correctly identifying criminals during an arrest.
Preventing fraudulent passport applications: Secure driver's licenses are key - The United States Passport is a near universally accepted travel document that is intended to prove both the identity oft he bearer and his or her U.S. citizenship. This document analyses how U.S. Passports are often used fraudulently in connection with crimes, including narcotics trafficking, alien smuggling, and terrorism.
CSDL/KIDS also produces four quarterly newsletters each year. Securing American Identities contains analysis, commentary and information regarding counterfeit and fraudulently obtained IDs. The newsletter also has program information about how CSDL/KIDS is helping to protect Americans from identity fraud and other public safety issues. Copies of Securing American Identities are free to CSDL/KIDS members.
Terrorism & Driver's Licenses – A twelve-page explanation of how terrorists have used counterfeit and fraudulently obtained driver's licenses in planning and perpetrating attacks worldwide. This document also shows how US authorities have foiled other attacks thanks to driver's license records and tough state identity requirements.
Each year, the Coalition For a Secure Driver's License / Keeping IDentities Safe produces numerous research papers for policymakers and the public. Below are sample covers from some these research papers. Contract CSDL/KIDS by calling (202) -312-1540 or e-mail email@example.com for more information about the full list or how to obtain a copy. CSDL/KIDS research papers are free to members.
Protecting Children from Identity Theft – This analysis presents the growing problem of child identity theft. Children are increasingly the prime targets for identity thieves who seek pristine driving and credit records as well as greater opportunities for employment. According to a recent study, 140,000 identity frauds are perpetrated on children each year.

Was raised in a Christian home, but the Gospels having been written by different people about the same circumstances was really confusing to me at a young age. Of course, you adapt to the ideology of your parents usually, like Jordan Peterson describes with Pinocchio as a metaphor for being attached to your families ideology. I grew up with a friend that was Buddhist and another that was Unitarian. An already confusing inconsistency in my own religion as well as other entirely different religions really changed my worldview young. Actually turned me into an agnostic of sorts due to this.
Years later I was exposed to Alan watts and listened to all his lectures. His breakdown of the difference between worldviews of eastern and western views really blew my mind. Concepts like mindfulness, and ego, and being apart of an inseparable system which perceptually gives the illusion that there are separate objects.
Can't have life without water, can't sustain life without air, can't have air without trees, can't have a livable planet without atmosphere, planet without the sun, solar system without gravity, and on it goes.
This actually made me appreciate the values of other religions much more including Christianity because we are all in this together inexorably.

Concordia Welcomes the Vietnam Traveling Memorial Wall
This week, Concordia is hosting their Concordia Fall Festival and welcoming the Vietnam Traveling Memorial Wall to the Concordia baseball fields on the south side of Concordia, just off Highway 23.
The Vietnam Traveling Memorial Wall is one of a few traveling walls that travel across the United States and gives Vietnam Vets the chance to see a small version of the Vietnam Wall up close.
"Our wall is 3/5 scale of the Vietnam Memorial in Washington D.C.," said wall manager Greg Welsh. "It stands six feet tall at the center and covers almost 300 feet from end to end. The Traveling Memorial stands as a reminder to the great sacrifices made during Vietnam and gives vets and veterans' families the chance to reflect on sacrifices made."
The Vietnam Traveling Memorial Wall is part of the Vietnam and All Veterans of Brevard in Brevard County, Fla. According to Welsh, this is the first time this particular wall has traveled to Missouri.
The wall will be available to be seen 24 hours a day on Sept. 4-8 and will have name locators available from 9 a.m. until 9 p.m. each day. Additionally, the "Through the Eyes" exhibit, a collection of memorabilia from both the Vietnam War and the home front, combat photographs, weapons and ammo will also be on display.
