Debt: still very much in favour
Reports by the Wall Street Journal that officials at the Federal Reserve are drawing up plans for starting to rein in the current programme of QE are worth noting. Jon Hilsenrath, the Journal reporter who wrote the story, is widely held to be the Fed's favourite unofficial channel for making known its future intentions. Could it be that even the Fed is starting to get concerned about the runaway effect that its monetary stimulus is having on asset prices? Throw in Mr Bernanke's warnings about excessive risk-taking last week and it is tempting to suppose that even the Fed would be happy to see a pause in the the advance of risk assets, at least for now.
That would certainly seem to sit quite well with the normal midyear seasonal pullback that we have seen for each of the last three years. The worry with QE has always been that it is easy to get started on it, but very difficult to stop. Now that the Japanese have joined the QE party in an even more dramatic way, the ripples are being felt in financial markets all round the globe, compounding the scale of the eventual problem. Yields in a number of credit markets (eg junk bonds, leveraged loans) have fallen to what look like dangerously complacent levels. Companies such as Apple are obviously happy to take advantage of the ultra-low rates on corporate debt, but whether that achieves any longer term benefit remains to be seen – not so obvious when the purpose of the debt is committed to share repurchases rather than new capital investment. All the while a return to the levels of economic growth we witnessed before the crisis broke in 2008 remains stubbornly distant. Read the rest of this entry »

Rock Your Health: The Beatles guidebook to retirement
I was recently reminded how much I love the Beatles when I saw their 50th anniversary TV show and the reunion of Paul and Ringo. They were definitely a huge part of my developmental years because of their creative music, their social consciousness, and their path to spiritual enlightenment.
I am now a bit older, but their words still resonate with this next phase of life called retirement. Although I like to call it re-wirement.
See if these tunes bring new meaning to you as well!
Here Comes the Sun
Those cloudy and stormy days at work are going to soon be over and there is a bright new future ahead for you. If you're stuck in negative thinking, start shifting to positive about all the possibilities ahead.
When I'm 64
Now is the time to look ahead toward what is next for you. It's coming whether you like it or not, so start creating your exit strategy [more]
Not My Job: The legal perspective on updating job descriptions
As a nurse manager, how often do you review the duties and responsibilities laid out in your staff job descriptions? The human resources department may "own" the files, but you probably review them when you have an open position. From a legal perspective, though, job descriptions deserve more regular scrutiny to ensure that duties align with your organization's policies and procedures, and meet the standard of care.
For example, if new procedures have been introduced, staff must be trained, competencies documented, and job descriptions updated to support the revised standard of care. In the event of a patient injury, one of the first things the patient's attorney will do is look for gaps in the standard of care, so you must be proactive in this area.
Dinah Brothers, RN, JD, suggests that, at a minimum, you review your staff's job descriptions once a year. In addition, you must revise your staff's job descriptions whenever any one of the following occurs:
- When there are professionally recognized changes to the standard of care
- When new medical advancements are accepted and implemented at your facility
- When new technology is implemented in your facility
- When policies and procedures change in your facility that impact the nurse's role and/or job responsibilities change
Rock Your Heath: Sync or swim
Are you starting to feel old and out of sync with your current nursing position? Before you panic, this might be the first sign that you are starting to enter the pre-retirement phase.
Here are some of the signs:
- You are aware that you are the oldest one in the group (remember when you were the youngest?)
- You are getting more and more frustrated with healthcare because of all the high-tech, de-personalization, and focus on making money
- Your workplace has "lost its loving feeling" like it had in the past
- Going to work isn't fun anymore
- You find yourself complaining more
- You are taking more and more meds for stress and health issues
- You know you are wise, skilled, and no one does it better than you, but it feels like no one cares
- You're starting to think you don't fit in anymore
- You're wondering if the end of your career is near
- You don't know what to do about all of this
Rock Your Health: Rethinking your nursing career
If you're lucky enough, there will be a moment in your nursing career where things don't go as planned. No matter how carefully you plan or meticulously you control, your career choice starts to unravel. Instead of thinking this is a bad thing, it might be the point where the magic starts to happen and you embark on a new adventure.
I chose a nursing career based on what my college roommate was majoring in because I didn't have a clue what I wanted to do. Even though my heritage said it was my destiny: my mother was a nurse, my grandmother was a nurse, and my great-grandmother (as the story goes) was a healer.
After all the hard work of studying to be a nurse, upon graduation I should have felt great about what I had accomplished, but what I was really feeling was "I don't want to just sling bed pans as a nurse, there must be something more exciting for me to do." As it turns out, my restless nature plus that wonderful nursing degree (for which I remain extremely grateful) allowed me to shift many times into many different nursing roles that provided me with great satisfaction in my long and varied career. [more]
Accountability looks good on you (and your staff)
I learn from every book I work on, but this latest one on accountability strategies really hit home. I now realize that when I say "I'll try" to do something by a particular date, I haven't truly committed to being accountable for the deadline. And when I hear the same words from someone else, I no longer take "I'll try" to mean the commitment all managers want to hear from an engaged staff: the definitive YES.
I'll try is what I say when I don't really see how I'll be able to make the commitment, but don't stop to think about what's in the way. Do I lack the resources, the bandwidth, or (worse) the interest? Am I just allergic to saying a simple "no" when I can't squeeze the proverbial 10 pounds of sugar into a five pound bag?
As a manager whose goal is positive outcomes from an engaged staff, you need to train your ear to "hear" the difference between words that indicate accountability and those that fall short. Your staff can do the same, and when you're all hearing and speaking the language of accountability, good things will happen.
To find out more about building accountability in your staff, go to the web page for the team-training handbook, Team-Building Handbook: Accountability Strategies for Nurses. For ideas on how to develop a culture of accountability starting with yourself, visit the web page for Accountability in Nursing: Six Strategies to Build and Maintain a Culture of Commitment.
Both are from Eileen Lavin Dohmann, MBA, BSN, RN, NEA-BC, the Senior Vice President and Chief Nursing Officer of Mary Washington Healthcare in Fredericksburg, Virginia.
And the survey says… Staff retention (try to break these 20 habits)
This week I have the pleasure of reading the incredible responses we received to our Nurses Week 2015 survey. So many of you shared your insights, challenges, and hopes for the coming year—thank you! We'll be emailing the winners of copies of Kathleen Bartholomew's Team-Building Handbook: Improving Nurse-to-Nurse Relationships in the next couple of days. Keep your eyes peeled for our email.
Your generous responses help us understand your needs and aspirations, and we will try to return the favor by covering those important topics in this blog and in our upcoming books, webinars, and e-learning. For starters, I've revived a popular post from the past that deals with retention, identified by many of you as a top priority. Let me know if you recognize any of the 20 bad habits in yourself!
Retain staff by breaking these 20 bad habits
Peter Druker, often called the Father of Modern Management, made the following observation, "We spend a lot of time teaching managers what to do. We don't spend enough time teaching them what to stop. Half the leaders I've met don't need to learn what to do–they need to learn what to stop." We simply need to [more]
Rock Your Health: How to coach yourself to be healthier
How can busy nurses keep themselves on a healthy path? Coaching can help. You can start by doing some role playing in front of a mirror. Feel free to copy my lines if you need them
Reflection says: "Hello. How you are doing with your goal?"
You say: "Thanks for asking. To tell the truth, I don't feel committed to my goal."
Refection says: "What is stopping you?"
You say: "I don't have support at home, so it is easy to stay with my old habits."
Reflection says: "What is one step you can take to move forward with your goal?" [more]

IMC Network
IMC Network
What is the IMC Network?
On July 1, 2016, the Impact Monterey County Network decision to support Collective Impact was established. The goals of the IMC Network are:
- Assess- To assess and measure important community needs.
- Collaborate- To identify other community assessments and use existing data to ensure efficiencies and to streamline IMC.
- Align- To align stakeholders toward common goals and measurements that improve conditions for all.
- Implement/Take Action- To establish a common agenda for addressing specific issues impacting communities throughout Monterey County and to take reasonable steps towards accomplishing said agenda.
- Measure/Sustain- To establish a plan to measure progress made toward the common agenda and to continue the assessment process at regular intervals going forward.
How did this network come to be?
IMC started as an idea of the staff at United Way Monterey County (UWMC). UWMC, like other United Way branches, has long believed in the importance of using data to make decisions about how resources are best allocated. In the past, however, UWMC has only been able to conduct smaller, more localized assessments. When an opportunity arose to get a sizeable, one-time grant from Capital One, UWMC staff leapt at the chance to expand their vision and bring in a number of other organizations, both private and public sector, to join in on a much larger project, which has evolved into Impact Monterey County.
In Phase I, IMC was coordinated by a steering committee composed of a cross-sector collaboration of individuals and institutions. Under the steering committee, there were 5 different operations teams supporting their work.
In Phase II, IMC was coordinated by the Phase II Task Force, again composed of a cross-sector collaboration of individuals and institutions, this time with three operations teams supporting their efforts.
In Phase III, our Phase III Task Force analyzed the data that we have collected and prepared foraction. These activities were supported by three operations teams: Data, Communications, and Sustainability.

4 Fall-inspired Drinks We Are Loving Right Now
by Rumena S.
Fall has finally arrived and we can't imagine anything better than cuddling with a nice warm seasonal drink! We at LimoLiner care deeply about good, locally-sourced food so we scoured Boston for delicious local alternatives to a fall staple – the ubiquitous PSL (pumpkin spice latte). Check out our favorites below:
#1 Hot Apple Cider at Sip Café – year after year, Sip Café in the beautiful Post Office Square park has proven that their talents extend well beyond award-winning coffee drinks. The hot apple cider hits the spot every time with real apple flavor, the right amount of sweetness, and nice warming texture. Bonus: try their in-house pumpkin spice latte made with real pumpkin, clover, and cinnamon. www.sipboston.com
#2 Chai Latte at The Thinking Cup – technically offered throughout the year, this drink is one of our go-to's in the fall. It is made from in-house chai concentrate containing just the right amount of sugar to complement the black tea notes while not overpowering the flavor. The Thinking Cup uses MEM teas (another local favorite) as a base including their masala chai which is an Indian black tea with nice chunks of cardamom, cinnamon, cloves, and ginger. Yum! www.thinkingcup.com
#3 Halva Latte at Tatte Bakery & Cafe – if you have a sweet tooth like us, consider Tatte's halva latte for a delicious and non-traditional alternative. Halva, a Middle Eastern and North African dessert, is made from sesame seeds giving the drink a sweet and slightly nutty flavor. Cardamom adds warmth which is perfect for fall. www.tattebakery.com
#4 Local Apple Lemonade at Clover Food Lab – we can't get enough of this drink especially on those 65+ degree fall days. Clover makes it daily from four simple ingredients: apples from Western Massachusetts, lemons, water and just a little bit of sugar. It is the perfect marriage of real, simple ingredients resulting into a surprisingly refreshing fall drink. Just like biting into a juicy sweet apple! www.cloverfoodlab.com

Now I can righteously smite evil...
and have boatloads of fun doing it!
What a delicious discovery! I'm in a heroic tale? And I get to CHOOSE what I do next?
That was the thrill of my first role-playing game experience, long before I was a game designer. Long before computer games. Long before professionally published RPG game rules. Back when I played from typewritten, mimeographed, stapled amateur rules. When the Earth had just barely cooled.
At that point, I was just telling my gamemaster what I wanted to do next. And he took care of all the details. We had big dungeon maps on graph paper, but we never had figures or tactical maps or anything like that.
Those were more innocent times. Unlike those who came to role-playing from a wargaming and miniatures gaming past, it didn't occur to us to have tactical movement rules or a tabletop display. In later years, I came to love tabletop battles, with all their pageantry and glorious hand-painted miniatures.
What I did NOT love, not even a little bit, was the glacial pace of combat, and the endless squabbling and rules-lawyering involved with tactical movement, first in miniatures wargames, and later in paper-and-pencil role-playing tabletop battles.
Then, when computer RPGs appeared, I was so grateful to have the computer handle all the complex rules of initiative and movement, it never occurred to me how slow and limited my combat movement options were. It was SOOOO much better than tabletop rules.
And, as time passed, and we graduated from turn-based RPGs to real-time movement, and then to more immersive third-person and first-person movement, I was so grateful to be freed from the bonds of turn-based combat that it never occurred to me to ask for more.
Like Byron's Prisoner of Chillon, I had grown to love my familiar chains.
Because I am older than dirt, I never played console games. I owned personal computers from the earliest days, from the Apple ][ and its successors through the early Macs. But those were for WORK... not for games. I wrote my paper-and-pencil games with word processors and graphics programs on personal computers, but I never played games on them.
And later, when my moral fiber had frayed sufficiently to allow me to play computer games, I was perfectly happy with mouse and keyboard. It didn't occur to me to try console games. Because those were clearly for kids... not for adults like me.
It was only late in life, after I was working on The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind, that I stooped to play my first console games. Because I HAD to. I was MAKING a console game, see, so I had to understand them. Unlike most of my colleagues then, I was completely ignorant of consoles and console controllers.
And even once I had learned to play console games, I strongly preferred the PC platform to consoles. Because... who would be stupid enough to play a shooter with a controller? That's just silly. Everyone knows a mouse and keyboard is better for shooters.
So, like most role-playing gamers, I came by my ignorance honestly. Because my expectations were shaped, first by the slow, awkward, limiting pace of tabletop role-playing, and later by the faster, but still relatively slow and awkward... and physically and tactically limiting interface of the mouse and keyboard... I was perfectly happy with computer and console role-playing games.
At the same time, however, I was studying the philosophical notions of what a great computer game might be, and from people like Chris Crawford, I was developing a notion that the ideal computer game would have you make the largest number of significant decisions per unit time. And for most decisions in role-playing games, you don't want to change your mind very often per unit time. Now and then you'll change weapons, and now and then you'll expend a rare resource like a scroll or potion, but most important decisions in a role-playing game happen over long periods of time... like what class you'll play, and how you'll develop your character, or what narrative choices you'll make.
The one exception I could think of was tactical movement. I always wanted to change where I was moving relative to my enemies and relative to the positive and negative possibilities of the current combat space. I was always trying to be in the rear or flank of my enemy... because those systemic advantages made so much intuitive sense to me. I always wanted to have my back to a wall or a companion. I always wanted to fire missiles and spells from high ground or behind obstacles that put multiple enemy attackers at a disadvantage. Again, those ideas made so much sense to me.
In turn-based computer games, I could make a lot of those decisions... but not in real time. And battles took a looong time to resolve, and, more importantly, they were in a not-at-all tactile, or visceral, or immersive, interface.
To the computer role-playing game audience, it may seem obvious that I should have been looking all along to action games for inspiration. But obvious as that seems, it overlooks the massive design and technical challenges involved in adapting action game systems, mechanics, conventions, and presentation to the complex and familiar world of heroic fantasy role-playing gaming.
I can't explain the design and technical challenges to you. They are beyond my comprehension. As a narrative designer, I have only modest skills as a system designer. And I am profoundly ignorant of the gameplay of action games, much less the systems, mechanics, conventions, and presentation of action role-playing games.
That is why it is a Good Thing that Big Huge Games has assembled such a stellar team of system, combat, and animation developers. And why it has been such a delight for me... the realization of a role-playing gamer's fantasy that I was too timid and conventional to have imagined... to play Reckoning's combat.
The first time I could play Reckoning's combat, even in its early, limited form, I could tell how amazing it was... how much better than I could imagine. I could dodge and roll and dash for handy corners, keep my enemy off-balance and moving to re-target me. And everything happened so fast. It took me a while to adjust. I've never enjoyed console action games, so it was a steep learning curve.
That first experience with an early build was the answer to all my role-playing tactical movement dreams. But it didn't even begin to scratch the surface of the other RPG combat delights that Reckoning had in store for me.
Because I am a child of the tabletop RPG and PC RPG generation, it would never have occurred to me to teleport through an enemy. That's just not an experience that translates well to a tabletop or turn-based game. And that we would poison an enemy each time we teleported through them? Or that we could zip back-and-forth through one enemy, or through a whole room full of enemies... that just never would have occurred to me.
And magical Frisbees? That's just silly. But that's just what our chakrams are. Chakrams are my favorite Reckoning weapons. In D&D, the most imaginative mage-based ranged physical weapon attack we could imagine was thrown darts, or slings. But now we throw these amazing magical things in super-complicated boomerang arches, slicing and dicing opponents, shocking, frying, and freezing them. It is not only extra effective as a weapon... it looks totally awesome.
It's been a long journey from my first tabletop RPG to Reckoning. Most of the time I've been so happy bashing evil things with a hammer that I forgot to look forward. And even when I felt like I wanted something better, it was hard to see what shape that "better" would take.
And even knowing what I wanted better wouldn't have been much help... except finally, with Reckoning, I was lucky enough to work with the Big Huge team of system designers, combat designers, and animators, who were kind enough to create something delightful and stick it in my hands.
Yes, many years ago that first role-playing game was certainly a thrill, but nothing to compare with the thrill of having the Reckoning controller in my hands with a working build for the first time. I'll never forget, even for a moment, what a charmed life I've led, simply to have my hard-working, tragically clever companions at Big Huge making my dreams come true. I can only hope that you get the same thrill when you have the Reckoning controller in your hands.

SALEM, OREGON: Two days after Senate Democrats claimed they would not seek a ban on modern firearms and feeding devices, Democrats in the Oregon House introduced just that.
Seven Senators joined with eight House Reps to introduce a sweeping ban on virtually all modern firearms. Among the Senators is, of course, Ginny Burdick, who claimed on Wednesday "that she is backing off an attempt to push through a bill on gun clips that she drafted following the December shootings at the Clackamas Mall." The other sponsors are:
Representatives BAILEY, BUCKLEY, DEMBROW, FREDERICK, READ, REARDON, TOMEI, Senators , DINGFELDER, HASS, MONNES- ANDERSON, MONROE, SHIELDS, STEINER- HAYWARD.
Remember them.
I have the sneaking suspicion that this is an Overton Window ploy on the part of the Democrats in the Oregon legislature. Put forth an outrageous, naked attempt to ban guns and when the people predictably get pissed off – step…

Creating walkable, urban, human-centered neighborhoods in the Granary District.
Maybe not COMPLETELY without cars, but without having to use cars to get around for all the daily needs. I don't like cars. I don't hate cars — they're very useful for what they show in the commercials; driving up super-windy roads to go skiing, or camping in the great outdoors, but besides that I don't want to use one a regular basis.
I'd rather to get to work and go to the store this way ...
Or this way ...Not this way ...
It should be a civil right to be able to satisfy most daily needs without having to rely on a car. They're expensive and there should be convenient, efficient alternatives for everyone.
Back to the question — I could imagine a Salt Lake City without cars; it's a long shot, but I could, at least the urban core. With all of the existing planned and proposed mass transit and bike lanes, it could be done.
What changes/sacrifices would I have to make a car-free Salt Lake City more realistic?
-Live in a transit-friendly, denser/ more compact, mixed-use (residential/ retail/ commercial) neighborhood (yes, please)
-Brave the elements walking and biking around (yes, please)
-Live in smaller spaces (yes, please)
-Learn how to change a bike tire (already do!)
Could you imaging Salt Lake City without cars? What would you change/ sacrifice to make it a reality?
The folks over at GOOD posed the city without cars question and were inspired by RailLA, an initiative to plan Los Angeles' future around transit and not cars.

Four Arrested in Death of Phoenix Girl Allegedly Locked Inside Box as Punishment
PHOENIX – Four people were arrested in the death of a 10-year-old girl who police said Thursday had been placed inside a padlocked, plastic footlocker for punishment after months of other abuse.
During the initial investigation, family members told police that Ame Deal and other children in her extended family had been playing hide and seek, and they believed that Ame must have climbed into the box to hide and accidentally suffocated.
However, detectives said they're now treating the July 12 death as a homicide after determining the child had been placed in the box as punishment for taking a Popsicle from a refrigerator.
Before being locked in, the girl was forced to run and do other exercises in the backyard, despite nearly triple-digit heat.
Police investigators said the girl apparently had been put in the box at least five times in recent months for misbehaving, and had been beaten with a wooden paddle, forced to swallow hot sauce and to eat dog feces.
Police said the girl slept on the floor of a stall shower in the home with no blanket or pillow as a disciplinary measure for bed wetting.
"This child died at the hands of those who were supposed to love and care for her," police spokesman Sgt. Trent Crump said. "This case has turned the stomachs of some of our most seasoned detectives."
Police arrested Judith Deal, 62, Cynthia Stoltzmann, 44, and John and Samantha Allen, both 23.
The Allens were charged with first-degree murder. Stoltzmann and Deal were charged with child abuse and kidnapping.
Stoltzmann is the girl's paternal aunt and legal guardian, and Deal is her grandmother who was homeschooling Ame and the other children who lived in the house.
The Allens are married, and Samantha Allen is the girl's aunt. Police said the couple acknowledged putting Ame in the box and padlocking it on July 12.
At their initial court appearances Thursday, the Allens were ordered held on $1 million cash bond apiece while both Deal's and Stoltzmann's bail was set at $500,000 cash.
A judge set all their preliminary hearings for Aug. 8. It couldn't be immediately determined if any of the four suspects had attorneys yet. Court records indicated none had entered a plea.

Spy texts app not blame
November 9th, 2016 8:24 am
Howto Spy Using A TV Receiver that is USB On Your Own Neighbors The Realtek RTL- radio Flash kit, as witnessed on Amazon.com "Every system that you own is currently yelling its name in to the endless void," said security analyst Melissa Elliott the 2009 Wednesday (August. 3) at the DEF CON hacker discussion in Vegas. That "shout" consists while in the length of regular functions of the low-degree radio transmissions each digital camera produces. The emissions change based on procedures and system, energy intake, together with the result that antennae that are delicate can "fingerprint" activities and gadgets appropriately. Around 1970, the National Security Company created the Tempest software to produce approaches to criminal on unusual communications applying such emissions that were accidental. A couple of years before, French scientists demonstrated that special radio fingerprints were generated by possibly personal secrets being pecked on computer keyboards. Nowadays, dirt-cheap software that is free and technology make it possible for regular people to perform their very own Tempest programs and pay attention to what their own as well as their neighbors' electronic devices are undertaking. Elliott, a specialist at Ma-based protection organization Veracode, demonstrated an inexpensive Hardware dongle Television tuner pricing about $10 could grab an easy array of impulses, which is often "tuned" and translated by software-identified radio (SDR) programs working over spytracking a mobile computer. "I was able to proceed the majority of my entire life not knowing that my electronics all were seeping every one of the signals that depth what theyare getting up in their tiny electric lifestyles that were exclusive," Elliott said.
Facebook apparently developing spot-tracking application for buddy development
But a visit about the Virginia for the U.S. National Radio Zone – West Virginia line, site of the worldis biggest portable stereo- telescope that was astronomy, taught Elliott normally. " because those same electronics crank the signal out at the sky Their greatest challenge to having the science completed is the very electronics that method and they have to measure the sign," Elliott stated. "They have a microwave cooker, which is a Faraday cage" a framework surrounded by a wire-mesh to prevent energy from getting into or out "inside another Faraday cage, inside another place, that will be also a Faraday cage," she valued. "That is simply how much they'd to protect items just so they may reheat their pizza at 2." So Elliott found an internet site that found free application to melody, and marketed USB tuners for $10 and evaluate the impulses. At DEF FRAUD, she exhibited by using a netbook she bought to China for $50 on a journey just how much stereo disturbance electronic devices emit. "It has no shielding," Elliott said. "I'm pretty sure this violates FCC from Guideline 1 for the last. They'd have a conniption if they believed it was imported by me." On another laptop, Elliott employed her USB receiver and her software -identified stereo program to dial into a radio station, and expected her output to the meeting-area display.
Following a moment, she powered on her inexpensive Asian netbook, that has been a few feet away. "can you view all those minor spikes that have beennot there a minute before?" she expected. "Those are 33 and between 32 kilohertz apart," she explained, detailing the sign originated from the netbookis real-time time running at a kHz. Manifestations that were further demonstrated that keyboard presses emitted unique radio alerts, as did changing patterns and screen hues, having a dark-and- white checkerboard pattern actually being not significantly invisible about the radio-signal analysis display. " Can the screen is recovered by you using this? " Elliott questioned. "I'm convinced you are able to. Regrettably, my stereo trial charge is not high. But again, I have stereo." Elliott claimed an engineer co-worker told her the wire from the movie cpu to its display of the netbook emitted the indicators which explained why the indicators kept effective even after the display went to rest.
Spy on my spouses windows telephone – mobile-spy
It is not simply monitors that Elliott, release signals said; wired microphones, BROUGHT lamps, keyboards, pc memory and hard disks all put signals out. " it is possible to pick everything up " Elliott explained as she estimated a screenshot of the neat grid-generated by Memory memory chips.

For Sikhs, the word dharm means the 'path of righteousness. To me, finding my dharma, my meaning in life, is to improve the lives of others in a role that can make a difference – and so began Dharma Cottage Yoga.

Civil Society
''A small group of thoughtful people could change the world. Indeed, it's the only thing that ever has''. (Margaret Mead)
Civil Society is depicted in this Portal to include all forms of organisations set up for collective action around the shared common interest of Peace in its broader term. All social change Civil Society organisations work directly or indirectly for peace. This is so because peace will become a reality when all individuals, groups, and nations will drop their separatist self-centredness and adopt the unity of the One Humanity.
For practical reasons, this Portal will limit its presentation to those organisations working towards the synthesis of our diverse world of nations into the One Humanity. Starting from Cyprus, we will broaden our presentation to the Middle East, the South East Europe and, expand our presentation to include those organisations that work on the International level.
In order to facilitate the visitor, we categorise organisations according to the scope of their work and their legal status. We do our best to be objective and we always secure the consent of all listed organisations.

The WorldTeach Costa Rica is a program unlike any other. Although famed for being an unparalleled tourist destination in Central America, Costa Rica is alive with other wonders for the heart and soul. It's the deep sense of tranquility and understanding between students and volunteers that is normally so hard to explain – that same sense of inner peace that Erica Rawles seems to sum up so perfectly at the end of her summer journey with WorldTeach Costa Rica.
Never did I expect that coming to Alto Varas would help to heal me. In the middle of these rolling green hills and blue mountains, I found peace. I found the kind of calm that lets you sit on the porch for hours, doing nothing, thinking of nothing, just being. I found room to breathe. I found misty skies, cold air, and the sound of rainfall drumming on tin roofs every afternoon like clockwork. I found meditation without crossing my legs and closing my eyes.
And I found children whose contagious laughter spread from one to the next and eventually landed inside of me. These children, in the most beautiful way, taught me by example, how to live in the present, when I needed most to learn how to let go of the past. No matter what took place the day before – an unfair play in the soccer game at recess or bad behavior in the classroom that left them without a sticker – my students would enter class the next day like none of it had ever happened. They would come into English and shout "good morning, Teacher!" with huge smiles on their faces. No matter what took place the day before – a disastrous attempt at communicating in Spanish, an unsuccessful lesson plan, or the desire to speak to my mom through it all – how could I not return that priceless greeting? I learned to enter class everyday with a fresh attitude and positive demeanor. I gave back to them what they gave to me.
Alto Varas gave me transcendent moments of deep tranquility, fresh air and life at a slow pace, simplicity and nothing beyond the necessities. Unruly green trees climbing their way to the sky and the vast and majestic mountains on every side left me tucked in the middle of all of this earth that is very much alive. It's good to feel small sometimes. And every morning when I stepped outside, I was struck by the beauty surrounding me – every two mile walk up and down the mountain to and from the bus station I simultaneously hated and savored; every bus ride into the city, I was first in line to board and snagged the window seat even if I had an aisle number on my ticket; and every time, without fail, I felt an overwhelming gratitude and awe at the beauty I was living in.

Domaine Chandon Pinot Meunier Carneros 2001
Winemaker's Notes:
étoile Rosé is limited to 6 bottles per customer. PHILOSOPHY étoile ROSÉ combines the forward fruit of a red wine and the elegant structure of a white. In keeping with the traditional rosé winemaking method, a small amount of Pinot Noir is added prior to tirage, or second fermentation, to create the deliciously distinctive color. Coveted by the most passionate connoisseurs for its unique character and limited availability, étoile ROSÉ sparkles with brilliant salmon color, bold yet refined berry flavors and excellent richness and length. This cuvée of étoile ROSÉ rested for 5 years on the yeast, evolving graciously to be enjoyed when released and for years to come. TASTING NOTES * Rich, yet elegant aroma of plum, dark cherry fruit, nutmeg and cocoa. * Bold, yet refined palate with persistent flavors of raspberry and French toast. FOOD AND WINE PAIRING Winemaker Tom Tiburzi and Chef Chris Manning suggest serving it with foie gras, entrees with rich cream sauces, lobster, veal and simple desserts such as créme brûlée. For even more fun, try this wine on a romantic picnic. Appellation: Mendocino/Napa/Sonoma Counties Composition: Chardonay Pinot Noir Pinot Meunier Aging Profile: Aged sur lees since 2001 Style: Brut Rosé Limited to 1 case per order.
Domaine Chandon is one of the most recommended wineries in the Napa Valley, and the only one with its own 4-star restaurant. The winery established its reputation with sparkling wines, and in 1989, the winery began crafting still wines from the classic Champagne varietals Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier.
Member Reviews for Domaine Chandon Pinot Meunier CarnerosAdd your review
I just opened this bottle (it is now Fall 2008) and I have to say that this wine is drinking a lot better than I imagined. Pinot Meunier is the quiet grape in the blend of grapes used in Champagne and it's known for being an early maturing and drinking young type of grape. This bottle is seven years old and it is fascinating to drink right now. There is a bit of an earthiness to it and layers of black fruit and what is that...? menthol? and cinnamon? cooking spices? The body on this wine is actually quite light as well.

External Reviews for Domaine Chandon Pinot Meunier Carneros
Wine Enthusiast ReviewReleased at the same time as Chandon's 2000 Etoile, this is built along the same elegant, classic lines, but it's younger. fresher and, being a rose, quite a bit richer in fruit. In fact, it's extraordinarily delicious, a melange of sorbets ranging from raspberry, cherry and peach to lime and vanilla. The finish is crisp and clean. Should hang in there through the decade.Wine Tasting NotesIn keeping with the traditional rose winemaking method, we add a small amount of red wine (Pinot Noir) prior to tirage to create the distinctive salmon color with copper hues. The wine's aromas are rich and complex - floral notes with Santa Rosa plum, raspberry and nutmeg. These aromas follow through on the palate and are layered with candied ginger and pomegranate flavors, evolving into truffle, cocoa and earthy tones. The wine finishes with excellent length and richness that will stand up to a variety of foods.

Journey to Machu Picchu along the less-traveled Salkantay Trek. Meaning "savage" or "wild" in Quechua, the Salkantay is indeed a wilder experience than the popular Inca Trail - fewer people, dramatic views, and rich history. Enjoy increased solitude as you climb to and cross the 15,091 ft. Salkantay Pass, which gets you breathtakingly close to the towering peaks of the Cordillera Vilcabamba range. From the pass the trail descends into the Santa Teresa Valley, passing small farms and villages, eventually reaching the Urabamba River. There are numerous archeaological sites along the way. A short but very scenic train ride takes us to the town of Aguas Calientes to spend the night before rising early the next morning for Machu Picchu.This trek, and the Santa Teresa Valley, is richly described in the NY Times best-seller, "Turn Right at Machu Picchu" by author Mark Adams.
The Salkantay Trek combines the fun and interesting city of Cusco, the beauty of the Sacred Valley, and a "road less traveled" trail to Machu Picchu.
Trip Highlights:
-Immerse yourself in Andean and Inca culture
-A challenging trek over high mountain passes and subtropical highlands and valleys
-Guided tour of Machu Picchu and time to expolore on your own
-Comfortable upscale accommodations and fine Peruvian cuisine
-Shopping, and bartering, for native crafts, woven goods and fine silver jewelry
-Eating our way through the diverse and delicious Peruvian cuisine

The Child Store at Amazon is a one-cease destination for all of your baby's needs. On the upside, the resort supplied a travel cot, and my enduring memory of that evening is of my 9-month-outdated baby bouncing in that cot with an unlimited grin on her beautiful face. I was instructed that I was born with a veil, I have been searching for an understanding of what this is, for nowhere in the bible mentions it. Please in case you have data I will like to hear extra. The comfortable membrane cushions the brain in order that she or he is protected against frequent child falls and risks. I have made loads of playing cards for, child showers, new arrivals, christening, and birthday cards along with your New Arrivals dies. The baby on the other aspect of the wall from us cried all night time lengthy and I felt so unhealthy for the mama.
If you have a toddler you'll be able to take them with you if you go to alter your baby and go away the bathroom door open to offer your self extra space. As soon as the newborn is rehydrated for several days, you possibly can begin feedings each 2 hours. Weight-reduction plan: You must also pay attention to your weight loss program to ship a contented and healthy child. I had an analogous scenario, i thought i was 4 /5 weeks pregnant – have a history of ectopic pregnancies and i've 1 tube, went to the er as a result of i used to be afraid of another ectopic they found a sac within the uterus and hcg levels at 27,000 but no child.
Crying, I just stated – Some days it's difficult to surprise why God put this obedience on our hearts to get a sterilization reversal, when I can't carry a baby. To get a greater thought on methodology I recommend you visit the Quick Begin Child Signal Language Guide otherwise you buy the Baby Signal Language Equipment which has a in-depth information. Trickster: Some tales declare that a water child is merely a mischievous trickster that spends nearly all of its time teasing and abusing the humans that stroll close to its waters. Jeffrey is a downhearted Giraffe; his neck is too quick and he is unable to play together with his friends. A very cute baby card, that can be changed round and the animal and different dies can be used for different child occasions.
I am 6 wks pregnant with my second child and was informed at this time that there is a sac but no baby in it. I'm scheduled to return in 1 week in hopes of finding a child and heartbeat, however don't know methods to stand the wait! For instance; in the event you vaginally deliver Child A (who sometimes is born first and named child A as a result of he/she implants closest to the cervix) after which Baby B is not head down, you would possibly want an emergency C section. These are our favorite games that work well with a family with a assorted span of ages. I labored laborious all day on establishing lights and our tree, only to feel like Matt & the children we solely fascinated with Christmas and I felt alone in my lacking her – and it hurt.
I have been so tempted to buy them but have never been required to do a baby card so it's onerous to justify it however they are simply so darn cute that resistance will show futile ultimately. Preserving your baby clear can look like a tough process, but at the very least Greenback Basic makes it easy to save cash on diapers, child skin care merchandise and all of the low cost child items you will must maintain a baby clean and cozy. Assembly Austin was a first for me, as my nephews are the only two individuals I have ever met who had been born by way of surrogacy.
