SARK (Susan Ariel Rainbow Kennedy) is the bestselling author and artist of fifteen books, including Succulent Wild Woman, Bodacious Book of Succulence, Eat Mangoes Naked, and other titles.
She is an acclaimed speaker and teacher, and CEO and founder of Planet SARK, a business that promotes empowered living, and her writings and artwork.
One of her books is Juicy Pens, Thirsty Paper: Gifting the World with Your Words and Stories.
In an interview, SARK said she knows that art is healing "because of how it heals me and how I see it healing other people every day. Through art, we come alive through the deep connections to our souls and spirits.
"I'm talking about being 'artists of life,' not only visual artists. I believe there is an 'art of living' and that this art practiced heals each of us everyday in small and significant ways."
[From Arts and Healing Network interview.]
In another interview, she explains how challenging and difficult her path has been.
Q: What were you doing before you started writing books? Were you always so creative and spiritually aware?
SARK: No, not at all. I'm a survivor of incest. That was a period of seven years and it pretty much, at that point, destroyed my life. Then, from the ages of 14 to 26, I had 250 different jobs because I was trying to figure out what I was supposed to do [with my life].
During that time period I was also living a very self-destructive life and I wasn't at all creative in any kind of physically manifested way. At 26 I finally turned to dedicate myself to art and writing, and proceeded for the next ten years to be rejected in every way that you could be.
Q: What motivates you to keep writing?
SARK: The people, and my own spirit. My own need to express my experience drives my writing. Also, what I feel to be speaking through me. It's like taking dictation, in a way.
[From interview: Living Juicy: A Creative Conversation with SARK, by Laura Barcella.]
SARK has explained how much she chose to stop living as a victim, "as if someone was doing something to me. I was flying blind in my life, crashing and burning.
"As an incest survivor, I was hiding, avoiding, living less than a half-life, careening around and dealing with many addictions and an overall dysfunctional environment. Life was like a pinball game and I was the ball moving from one dramatic event to another.
"I made a clear decision to change my mind and my role by using role models, mentors and teachers." [From Balance magazine interview.]
Investigate your pain
On her site she includes the urgent advice to "Wake up to your pain and investigate it."
That can be hard to do when trying to protect yourself emotionally. For men and boys as well as women and girls, of course. Physical, emotional and sexual abuse can have profound impacts on how we accept and treat ourselves, and how we interact with others and life.
Here is a video about one of SARK's creativity and personal growth programs :
Program : Three Part Harmony – Become a Feelings Master and Change Your Life
SARK says, "You can take baths and long walks. And that's all a part of good self-care. But this is about long-lasting Inner Self-Care: really managing our feelings. And most of us are not Feelings Masters."

Jessica Simpson
One of the tracks ("Remember That") on Jessica Simpson's album Do You Know? has the powerful lyrics,
"It doesn't matter how he hurts you / With his hands or with his words / You don't deserve it / It ain't worth it / Take your heart and run."
Simpson declared in an Elle magazine article, "There's nothing on my album that you're gonna hear that I don't relate to or that I haven't experienced. Because the only way I know how to sing is from life experience. I have definitely experienced abuse in a way that I would tell people to take their heart and run."
Teri Hatcher
Actor Teri Hatcher revealed in 2006 that as a child she was sexually abused by an uncle.
"This is something I've tried to hide my whole life," she said. She never told her parents, but thinks they suspected.
"I think their way of dealing with things is denial and guilt. Nobody wanted to talk about it. But all I did was blame myself.
"I have so much pain. I'm a woman who carries around all these layers of fear and vulnerability. I'm trying to be my powerful me; it's in there, but I have to find the strong part underneath the layers of 'I'm shit. I'm never going to go anywhere!'"
In an interview about her book Burnt Toast: And Other Philosophies of Life she said:
"My purpose in writing this book was to try to help stop the pattern in women to take less than what they deserve.. I don't think you have to be molested to be in pain as a woman, to feel like you don't deserve good things… we are all women who don't treat ourselves well enough. Women walk around feeling like everything is their fault."
"I don't want to pretend it never happened anymore… I'm really a survivor, but I've learned so much, given so much, and received so much out of it all that I don't think I'm damaged goods. I think I'm a deeply sensitive, knowing, beautiful woman."
From interview: Teri Hatcher's Desperate Hour by Leslie Bennetts, Vanity Fair.
~ ~ ~
Dealing with abuse through therapy and art can have profound, life-changing value.
Roxanne Chinook
Roxanne Chinook, a Tribal Member of the Confederated Tribes of the Warm Springs Indian Reservation in Oregon, experienced rape and family violence.
She says, "My art emulates a personal and cultural experience, from the spirit of the trickster to healing from the traumas of my past. The process of creating strengthens and restores my spirit, and has rendered me a relationship with the sacred."
[From the page Healing & art.]
The creative power of anger
One consequence of abuse may be deep rage, and art can help deal with that anger constructively.
Psychologist Stephen Diamond, PhD says "Creativity is one of humankind's healthiest inclinations, one of our greatest attributes."
As he explains in his book, Anger, Madness, and the Daimonic: The Psychological Genesis of Violence, Evil, and Creativity, our impulse to be creative "can be understood to some degree as the subjective struggle to give form, structure and constructive expression to inner and outer chaos and conflict."
It takes courage
But this isn't an easy or comfortable process, he notes:
"To confront consciously one's inner demons — the daimonic — takes great courage. It is an enormous struggle with one's self, a coming to terms with who one really is and how one really feels, an arduous, demanding process in which pursuing or persisting in artistic work can be instrumental."
In his book, Diamond writes about a number of prominent and accomplished artists who exhibit varying degrees of success in accessing and expressing their demons in positive ways.
Niki de St. Phalle
Painter and sculptor Niki de St. Phalle, was able to find "a fertile outlet for her ferocious rage toward men — and the dominant masculine art establishment — via the creative expression of violence in her highly controversial work.
"Her famous 'shooting paintings' resulted from firing live ammunition at paint-filled, white-washed balloons mounted on a blank, virginal canvas.
"Thus, rather than becoming a crazed killer or vengeful victimizer of men, de St. Phalle's fury — some of which stemmed from having been sexually abused by her father — fostered a fecund creativity, that served her well throughout her prolific career."

VMworld 2015: Check out how you can add advanced L4-7 services to your VMware NSX environment
Once again the globe's preeminent IT experts (You!) will be convening in San Francisco to learn the latest advances in virtualization for servers, networking, storage and security. A10 Networks will be there (booth #2140) to show several amazing feats to help optimize and simplify your data center infrastructure. You can hear about how to: Add next generation networking and security to your NSX-based SDN deployments; implement A10's Harmony with vCloud Automation Center for orchestration; leverage supporting VXLAN and NVGRE overlay tunneling protocols; and uncover and eliminate hidden malware threats and volumetric attacks. If this doesn't intrigue you, well, stop by and we can tell you about other advances you didn't think were possible.
VMware NSX integration with A10 Harmony
Our esteemed technical authorities will demonstrate integration of A10 aCloud Services Architecture with the NSX controller platform. This ensures that network and security policies are aptly applied on A10's physical, virtual and hybrid appliances. You can now enforce these policies on work flows entering into your virtual networks. Plug-in modules using our aXAPI interface eliminate the manual configuration of higher layer security and networking services and accelerate faster rollout. Modules include services within A10's application delivery controllers (ADCs), carrier grade NAT (CGNAT) for IPv4 scaling, IPv6 migration, DNS application firewall, web application firewall (WAF), SSL Insight, Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) protection, and application access management (AAM). As a bonus, automation of provisioning and management drives down operational overhead and reduces costs. You might want to think of this as 'controlling the controller'.
Automation through integration with vCloud Automation Center
You will also see how A10's service modules enable you to automate higher layer services provisioning through integration with VMware vCloud Automation Center. This empowers you to dynamically enforce centralized tenant policies as new workloads and application services are created. By automating policy configurations that implement load balancing, content switching, security and other application networking services you save on cost and have more time to relax. All A10 appliances can be provisioned and managed (instantiated, configured, and monitored) via plug-in modules. What's more, you get centralized management and monitoring to ensure accurate and unified configuration of application services and health monitoring parameters on A10 appliances.
Overcome scalability issues in large cloud deployments
You will learn how our aCloud Services Architecture supports VXLAN and NVGRE overlay tunneling protocols. With the VMware inspired VXLAN now you can manage up to 16 million logical networks. Try doing that with VLANs! The A10 ACOS platform allows you to expand services deeper into the network fabric in virtualized environments. These capabilities provide automated enforcement of network segmentation policies by applying the appropriate tags on the traffic entering into the networks.
These overlay protocols allow you to create scalable services architecture with end-to-end isolated network domains for tenants. Multiple isolated virtual overlay networks can be provisioned with tunnel encapsulation protocols without changing the existing network. Applications running in a virtual Layer 2 domain in one datacenter can be extended over Layer 3 networks to another datacenter regardless of IP addressing or geographical location. NVGREand VXLAN gateway functionality on A10 devices enables virtual Layer 2 domain connectivity.
Incorporate advanced security
A10 is the leader in uncovering hidden threats in encrypted traffic. Malicious users leverage SSL to conceal their exploits. With A10's SSL Insight, you obtain the power to analyze all data including encrypted data by intercepting and decrypting SSL sessions, load balancing and sending them to third party security devices for inspection. Image handling up to 40 Gbps of such secure communications. Any alternate vendor would gag if asked to do 4 Gbps. See how it is done.
Now image having a massive DDoS, protocol anomaly or multi-vector L7 attack aimed at your servers. Assume the botnet army can muster up over 100Gbps of sustained capacity. Well, come to our booth and see how we can stop this from taking out your data center and your job with A10 Threat Protection Systems.
A10 experts will also provide a demonstration of how to augment, offload and consolidate your authentication and authorization infrastructure. The need for AAA is obvious but without a way to simplify and scale these services you either massively over provision at great cost or risk client rage when authentication fails or they need to repeatedly enter user credentials. A10's integrated Application Access Management (AAM) module offloads a great deal of AAA server processing, eliminates authentication point proliferation, enables single sign-on, and provides granular access control.
Please join A10 Networks in booth #2140 in San Francisco at VMworld 2015. In looking at all we will highlight at the conference you may think you need to spend half a day just with us. We promise to be brief. Honest! Give us 5 minutes and we will give you the (VM) World! And you may even win a drone or the ever popular light sabers.

Drum Brakes in Nashville, TN
On many vehicles, drum brakes are an integral part of your braking system. When so equipped, they're typically found on the rear wheels of your vehicle. They not only slow and stop your vehicle, but also may function as the parking or emergency brake. Drum brakes work on the same principal as disc brakes, but when the brakes are applied, hydraulic pressure forces the brake shoes OUT, against the inside of the brake drum. To create the necessary friction required to slow and stop the vehicle. When the pressure is released, return springs pull the shoes back to their original position allowing the wheel to turn freely.
When the pressure is released, return springs pull the shoes back to their original position allowing the wheel to turn freely. Springs lose their resiliency, and brake shoes and drums wear out over time. We recommend inspecting both front and rear brakes regularly: replacing brake shoes when the remaining friction material is measured at 2 mm or less, brake drums when they exceed their maximum diameter and brake hardware as required.
Ask your service advisor to measure the thickness of the drums every time your brakes are serviced as worn out drums might not have enough metal left for safe braking. And, over time, brake drums may wear unevenly causing vibration and/or noise. A worn out brake drum may contribute to premature brake shoe wear, which leads to more frequent shoe replacement and cost of repair.
From a safety standpoint, worn brake drums may dramatically increase the distance required for you to stop, cause the vehicle to pull to one side, or result in loss of control which could cause injury to you and possibly others. Neglecting brake drum maintenance has no environmental impact.

David Cobb
Making Democracy Real & Legal in the United States
David Cobb is a community organizer and attorney living in Eureka, CA when he's not on the road sharing his concerns and organizing for a more democratic USA. He has run for president on the Green Party ticket in the past. Presently he is a leader of the group Democracy Unlimited of Humbolt County, a group which is working toward leading a non-violent grassroots uprising to make democracy real and legal in the United States. Democracy Unlimiteds present focus toward legalized democracy is a response in particular to the recent Supreme Court decision that gives corporations the same rights as an individual. In the past, if a persons constitutional rights were being infringed upon, that person could go to the court system and find relief. However, with the January 2010 Supreme Court decision, now corporations have that same right as well. This means that now any effort to control the corporations conduct through legislation is subject to being overturned in court. Cobb says this particular legislation giving corporations the same rights as an individual person is very dangerous.
He urges people to get involved, either at a federal level (www.movetoamend.org) or at a local level (www.duhc.org) to make change. Cobb believes that great change can be produced by joining together with your community of radicals, conservatives, democrats and republicansbecause on a basic level we all have the same goals. We want clean air, good food, clean water and security. Our government and court systems will not provide these things for us without pressure. Historically these established institutions have instead worked to protect the property rights of the elite. We can change this through local nonviolent acts of civil disobedience.
He urges all of us to organize and connect with this very very important campaign.

Brandberg Crystals - Enhydros "Extra" (Namibia) - These "Extra" Grade Brandberg Quartz Enhydro Crystals come to us from the Brandberg mountains in Namibia, Africa; an area that contains some of the most unusual varieties of Quartz crystals. These particular Clear Quartz Enhydro Brandberg crystals may also phantoms or other anomalies.
The term "Enhydro" means there is fluid, gas or carbon bubbles within the crystal. The fluid can be very old and more than likely very pure. These "bubbles" were formed millions of years ago when the Quartz was originally formed and they are quite rare to find. Enhydros can be found in other types of Quartz, Amethyst and other crystals.
Enhydro Crystals can be an excellent tool for relationship work. Utilize this crystal to enhance empathy towards another, enabling the knowledge of the other person's perspective, and helping progress to occur in the relationship.
Since water is the element that is symbolic of emotions, working with the Enhydro Crystal can help one to achieve significant growth in this area. When doing any emotional work, it is important to understand that emotions can be a guidance system to help us navigate through our lives into a desired direction. When emotions are particularly unpleasant, one must recognize them to be a sign that we are on the wrong track, and make adjustments accordingly.
One of the most interesting attributes of Brandberg crystals is that they have a tendency to choose you and only you. While holding one or meditating with a Brandberg, you come to the realization that you are a perfect creature just as you are, at this very moment. Brandberg crystals work to clear all of the chakras and bring about a state of joy and peace. They work on all of the planes – physical, emotional, spiritual, ancestral, etc.
Clear Quartz Extremely popular metaphysically, Clear Quartz is known as the "Master Healer" of the mineral kingdom, with its very high vibration, and is the most versatile healing stone among all crystals. Clear Quartz is also known as the "Stone of Power" and can help to amplify any energy or intention. Clear Quartz is believed to protect against negativity, attune to your higher self, and relieve pain. Quartz crystals are very programmable and have a tendency to hold a program much longer than other minerals.

Help+Manual is a documentation tool and content management system for both single and multi-author editing.
All publishing formats supported by Help+Manual are generated from the same project. This means you only have to edit your help and documentation once. Forget about the nightmare of "converting" your documentation every time you change anything.
However, Single Source is much more than just outputting exactly the same information to different formats. Help+Manual supports conditional and customized output features that enable you to include variant content versions for different output formats and purposes – all in the same project, no post-processing is required.
Help+Manual publishes all standard Windows help formats, from HTML Help to Webhelp to Visual Studio Help. It also generates Adobe PDF, Microsoft Word documents and ePUB e-books - the standard format supported by the Apple iPad - as well as Amazon Kindle.
Responsive, context-sensitive Webhelp
The Webhelp publishing format includes a table of contents, keyword index and full-text search. Webhelp is context-sensitive and allows seamless integration into your website. This output format can be highly customized and supports jQuery plugins for animations of non-static content.
Windows help formats
Windows HTML Help (.chm) is the platform-specific format for all Windows applications including .NET. Help+Manual creates CHM files as well as MSHC, a special help format for integration into Microsoft VisualStudio.
Adobe PDF
PDF output and print manuals are fully customizable with the bundled Print Manual Designer program: include a table of contents and a keyword index, automatic page referrers for links and cross-references, customized page layouts, headers, footers, page numbering, covers, introductions and more.
Microsoft Word
A classic: Word documents. Use a regular Word file to build the layout of your user manual and use placeholder tags that Help+Manual uses to fill the content of your help project when publishing to Word. An automatically-built table of contents, keyword index and interactive topic links make the Word document suitable for both, printing and online viewing.
ePUB Publishing
With the Apple iPad, e-books have become mainstream. Help+Manual publishes the standard ePUB e-book format optimized for iPad, iPhone, the Nook Reader and other e-reading devices.
This is a dedicated e-book format for offline reading on e-readers like iPad and iPhone.
Amazon Kindle
Do you want to get your e-book into the Amazon store? Nothing's easier than that! With Help+Manual, you can produce Amazon Kindle e-books, packaged ready for distribution.
Single source is more than simply publishing same content to different output formats! You certainly want to customize the output for every publishing platform. Help+Manual supports this on many levels of the documentation work flow:
Master/Child Modules
Split documentation projects into modules. Help projects can include topics and chapters from other help projects and you can edit them in the same way as local topics. This is great if the product you are documenting is split into modules as well: the documentation design follows the product design!
Conditional Tags
Chapters that go into the print manual, topics that are included in the online version only. Conditional tags on chapter, topic and text level make this a breeze! Help+Manual has pre-defined tags for every output format and user-defined conditional tags for any purpose you can imagine.
Multiple TOCs
Where conditional tags cannot do the job anymore: multiple table of contents come to the rescue! This feature makes it really simple to use a completely different content structure for a publishing task. Create an additional TOC to create a review copy of your documentation, or a quick start tutorial with excerpts from the main manual.
Text Variables
You can use text variables (pre-defined and user-defined variables) in literally every place of your documentation project. Text variables are placeholder objects, that are replaced with their actual content at publishing time. Use them for product names to enable custom branding, or for content that is yet not fixed.
Snippets and Text Fragments
Snippets can be retrieved from a central repository and are updated automatically when the repository source changes.
Help+Manual´s working environment gives you all the formatting and editing features of a modern word processor, including dynamic styles and complex tables.
This is combined with powerful features for generating and editing help and documentation files, including full support for multimedia and complex modular projects.
Your projects are displayed and edited with the same hierarchical tree structure used by all Windows help formats. The editor and content tree view are combined in a single window. Editing topics and manipulating the structure of your projects is fast and intuitive.
Help+Manual handles all the complexities of help formatting and generation for you, letting you concentrate on the work of writing. But there is also extensive support for power users and experienced help authors. You can get under the hood and insert your own HTML code, change the code the program uses to generate your projects, manipulate topic and project templates and more. Help+Manual gives you the best of both worlds.
I've tried several different apps, some of them quite expensive, and none comes close to H+M for depth of features, stability and ease of use. Each time I use it, I discover some new "Wow!!" feature.
Steve Rindsberg, Microsoft MVP
We promise: after experiencing the Help+Manual way of writing documentation, you don't want your old HTML editor back! Never. Try yourself with our 30-day fully-functional evaluation version!

Philadelphia, PACare for cats, dogs & other domestic/companion animals
Working dogs are specially-trained canines that perform lifesaving and critical tasks to benefit humans and society.
Drawing from the unparalleled wealth of academic, research, and medical resources at the University of Pennsylvania, the Penn Vet Working Dog Center is uniquely positioned to pursue a variety of research, training, and teaching opportunities centered on the working dog.
To improve our nation's ability to produce, train, and maintain these valuable canine partners, the Working Dog Center conducts cutting-edge research in wide range of areas.
Support Our Work
Gaining a better understanding of the unique occupational health hazards and special medical and fitness needs of working dogs helps ensure these dogs work longer, healthier lives. This type of understanding also provides information necessary to safely deploy these dogs in their often hazardous working environments. Our program focuses on form and function and gaining a better understanding of how fitness may help improve overall health and performance.
Identifying the role genetics plays in the success of working dogs in different disciplines and in the health issues that impact their performance will drive a stronger domestic breeding program increasing the number of qualified dogs that can serve. In the future, combined with behavioral assessments (phenotype), this information will aid selection of breeding animals and ideally dogs from shelters or rescues that have the genetic potential to be successful working dogs. Learn more about our breeding strategies...
From the time they enter our program at eight weeks of age, our puppies participate in a comprehensive program that uses scientific principles to maximize each dog's genetic potential. Not only are we focused on developing their olfactory abilities, but we aim to raise well-balanced, environmentally sound dogs.
Applications of the canine's olfactory abilities continue to expand, and the Working Dog Center is dedicated to exploring ways to improve man's quality of life through detection. Our dogs train in many disciplines including medical (cancer and infection) detection, antiquities detection, search & rescue, and dual and single purpose law enforcement. The Working Dog Center Training Team collects data on every element of each dog's training. This data is then analyzed and aids in identifying the most efficient and effective training methods.
An emphasis on sensory health is important to understand factors that might affect the olfaction or other senses critical to the well-being and performance of detection dogs. Our studies aim to improve our understanding of different aspect of detection, such as threshold. We also study risk factors that could impair olfaction including anesthesia, vaccines, opioid exposure and naloxone administration.

Knock-down (or flatpack) furniture is popular due to its cost-effectiveness. Because it is packaged flat and portable enough to pick up and load in the car yourself, you save on delivery costs. Ready-to-assemble (RTA), self-assembly or assembly-required furniture are also specifically prepared for simple construction, complete with instruction manuals that are clear and easy to follow. Nevertheless, sometimes things go wrong. Here are a few tips on how to assemble your knock-down furniture without hassles.
Determine beforehand if you'll need another set of hands to help you take the box(s) of preassembled furniture from the store to your home. Ask the store for the estimated weight of each box. Furniture with hollow metal frames is lightweight, but if it has glass components, then it becomes heavy. Natural wood is about as heavy as pressed wood or particleboard. Long pieces of furniture like cabinets and tall shelves will be difficult to handle alone. Glass and mirrors need to be handled with care.
Decide whether you want to assemble the furniture by yourself or with the help of someone else. Most "assemble-it-yourself" furniture can be completed alone, but some require three or four hands. Assembling furniture with friends and family can be fun, but it can also be chaotic. Quality of assembly is also more difficult to ensure when too many hands are involved.
Designate an area that's sufficient for unpacking and maneuvering the preassembled pieces. The finished item might have a small footprint, but the loose pieces will need to be laid out over a wider work area, so be sure you have enough elbowroom. And you know where you want to put the new furniture, so, don't assemble it too far away.
Advise members of the household that assembly is ongoing. This means pets and toddlers need to be kept away from the construction area. And everyone must know where the first-aid kit is located.
Start unpacking only when you're ready to devote the time required to complete the assembly. Leaving furniture assembly half done usually leads to scattered pieces getting in the way of daily routines. The sooner you can complete putting the item together, the sooner you can get it out of the way.
Open the box carefully and lay the cardboard flat to protect your floor and provide cushioning for the loose pieces during assembly. If the cardboard box is not sufficient, work over a carpet or rug.
Be ready with the basic handyman tools. Some knock-down furniture is simple enough to boast "no tools required," but more complex pieces will probably call for a hammer and screwdrivers and maybe even a power drill. Allen wrenches are usually provided.
Spread out all the furniture pieces and accompanying hardware. Compare what you have with what's listed in the instruction manual. Be sure you have everything before you start.
Follow the instructions carefully. No matter how simple the furniture looks, it helps to read the instructions for assembly sequence and tips.
When done, congratulate yourself and marvel at how much money you saved by doing the assembly yourself.

SCV, a digital sports media company, will gain access to BAMTech's technology infrastructure to use for their networks in the Atlantic Coast Conference Digital Network, Campus Insiders and 120 Sports. These networks include more than 3,000 live collegiate events in numerous conferences across the country.
"Silver Chalice has focused on building partnerships with rights holders, producing compelling content and delivering it to college sports fans where they want it, when they want it," Silver Chalice Ventures CEO Brooks Boyer said in a statement. "Our networks are built to sit at the intersection of great content and powerful technology, providing our rights holders, partners, sponsors and viewers access to the best possible experiences. BAMTech has established itself as a global leader in distributing live and video on demand content across every platform. Having BAMTech as both an equity and technology partner creates innumerable new opportunities to explore and leverage rights in the ever-changing media landscape."
This extension into college sports opens a plethora of new doors for BAMTech. Younger demographics have shifted from purchasing cable to finding ways to live stream just about anything online and through apps. Ever since the creation of BAMTech, the company has been expanding outside of baseball quite rapidly and it looks that they are looking to continue growing in every avenue possible.
