Kylie Jenner desperate to move out
Kylie Jenner wants to move out ''as soon'' as she can.
The 'Keeping Up With The Kardashians' star is desperate to flee the family home when she turns 18-years-old in August.
In an episode of the E! reality show, the 17-year-old star admitted she was fed up of her mother Kris Jenner being on her ''case''.
She said: ''My mom is always on my case about this or that ... If we're gonna take a trip together, I just want to talk about things other than work.''
In fact, Kylie has already purchased a home and is currently redecorating so she can move into it when she reaches the milestone birthday.
The five-bedroom home is in a gated community in The Oaks, Calabasas, Los Angeles and reportedly will become a ''love nest'' for the television personality and her boyfriend Tyga.
Meanwhile, the 59-year-old matriarch previously admitted she fears her home becoming an ''empty nest.''
She said: ''One day, I know that I'll look around and they'll all be gone. It's so fast.
''[Kylie] keeps reminding me daily that she's 17 and there's only a few months left until she's 18. I ignore her because that's going to be weird and hard.''

Intermittent Fasting
Throughout history, various cultures have incorporated fasting regimens into their lifestyles. Justifications for fasting run the gamut from cleansing and detoxification to religious edicts (such as Ramadan) to the health-promoting properties of fasting. Still other people approach it from the ascetic view of denial of pleasure.
I approach Intermittent Fasting from a standpoint with several benefits, which we'll explore below. First, there are two basic versions of Intermittent Fasting (IF). While you'll derive the benefits of fasting from either method, a little experimentation will show you immediately which is your preferred method.
The first version looks at the day's meals through a hunter-gatherer perspective and could most appropriately be called a Compressed Window IF. In this version of IF, you fast for 18-20 hours each day and eat for 4-6 hours. By fitting all of the day's calories into a 4-6 hour window, rather than spreading them over the course of 14-16 hours as most people do, the day is freed up for other activities. The hunter-gatherer perspective, a lens through which all human endeavors should be viewed given our evolutionary history, is that during the day, our ancestors would have been out finding food. The evening would have been reserved for eating and celebrating with family and friends.
The second version is the Alternate Day fast, whereby you fast for 24 hours, then eat for 24 hours. You can implement this form of IF in various ways, for example, eat until 6pm, then don't eat again until the next day at 6pm. By doing so, you still get to eat everyday, but you have a 24-hour period for the body to relax and not deal with digestion.
Let's Cut To The Chase. What Are The Benefits?
I have tried both versions and find that the Compressed Window version of IF works best for me. I work all day, then head home and eat a large salad loaded with colorful vegetables, nuts, eggs, sardines, and olive oil. After allowing some time for digestion, I then cook my evening meal, which is typically some sort of meat with prodigious quantities of vegetables and sometimes a sweet potato. Basically, I eat only two large meals per day, a total of about 3000 calories.
Of course, the question in your mind now is probably something along the lines of, "Yeah, but everybody knows you have to eat 5 times per day to have a lean body. What do you look like?" I easily maintain my weight of 185 pounds and 10% bodyfat at a caloric intake of over 3000 calories per day. It is so effortless that for the last few years, I've only gotten leaner and stronger while doing IF.
The benefits I derive from fasting, and which many others report as well, are numerous:
- I sleep better
- I have improved mental clarity during the fast
- I have improved workout performance during the fast
- My body fat percentage is lower at the same bodyweight (i.e., more muscle mass)
- I don't worry about food during the day - I can get up, run out the door to work, work all day, then go home to eat. I don't have to be concerned with fitting in lunch and food is no longer the focal point of my day.
- No food-induced crashes during the day - I'm on top of my game all day. Even eating low-carb Paleo on a normal eating schedule left me more lethargic than this
- Better in-tune with my body - I have learned to distinguish psychological hunger (i.e., it's noon and I should eat) from real hunger. When I get truly hungry, I break the fast and eat, even if it's outside my "window"
- More energy - You'd think I'd experience fatigue with no food intake, but I can't quit moving and having an urge to go run around the block during a fast
- Food tastes better - it's amazing how much better a well-cooked meal tastes when you haven't eaten all day
Most people think fasting means lacking energy. On the contrary, my body has learned how to tap into its fat reserves to provide more than ample energy during a fast. In fact, I find my workout performances are significantly better when working out fasted. Other people report the very same thing too! It's as if the body is meant to work this way.
Ok, I'm Intrigued. But How Do I Start?
The easy answer to that question is "slowly". You can't just stop eating every other day and expect your body to react with approval. I found it easiest to slowly increase the length of my fast. I started by just skipping breakfast and increasing the size of my evening meal to compensate for the calories. I broke my fast every day at lunch time for a few weeks, then started moving lunch closer to dinner, about an hour every week. Eventually, my first meal was moved to the evenings when I was home from work and I no longer needed to take or buy a lunch.
About a year ago, I started an experiment with a 24-hour fast, eating from 6pm to 6pm, then fasting until the following 6pm. I found that many of the benefits of fasting, such as the lack of food-induced crashes were missing. On the days that I woke up and ate breakfast, even a low-carb breakfast of eggs and spinach left me a bit less perky than simply not eating.
That's why I say that you'll have to figure out which version of IF works best for you. For you, Alternate Day Fasting may be perfect. Or perhaps a 3-hour eating window or a 6-hour eating window is best for you. Fasting really becomes about listening to what your body is telling you and reaping the benefits of that.
One Final Word of Advice
One very important thing about fasting is that, while you can get away with less optimal food choices than you can on a normal diet, food quality makes fasting much, much easier. You can actually gain weight while fasting if you are loading up on sugary processed foods during your eating periods rather than focusing on quality meats, vegetables, nuts, seeds, and fruits.
In the end, there is no "best" way. The best way is what fits easily into your lifestyle and allows you to focus on living, not when your next meal is going to come. I urge everyone to try this approach to eating.

thanks for the advice, but now my cold turned into bronchitis so my appetite is down again and sometimes up until i feel better. I will post again when i feel better. Again thanks for the advice.
hello since i posted a few days back i was going to try to start my eating window at 12:00pm and that kind of worked for me, but then i caught a cold which i usually dont get them too often and it started with post nasal drip and then it ended yesterday after 5 days of a sore throat and sore tonsils. I drank some hot lemon water someone sugessted to me and now my symptoms are gone , but ive been going through a problem with limbic hunger now that my appetite is back and i can smell food everywhere and i can taste it as well and i tried to start fasting again from 10:00am until 3;00 pm and its been really hard and ive been really thristy from the cold i had. So i have to admit my eating habits werent exactly clean today or the last 2 days and i would like to avoid gaining weight again. I need some psycological advice on how to get back to where i was before the cold i had got aa hold of me.It seems like my appetite is crazy for anything right now, i almost have to mentally battle with my mind to continue my 5 hour window.
thanks for the advice i will definetly keep you posted as soon as i can ,and i will try to slowly move my eating window as slowly forward as i can.Wish me luck! thanks.
hi scott to answer your question i do exercise about 3 times a week . i usually go walking uphill in Runyon canyon about 2 miles uphill where you can see the hollywood sign and i walk in Griffeth Park up to the observatory thats also 2 miles up and 2 miles downhill and i try to run or jog later in the week about 3 miles is all ive really been able to do., and thats in hancock park here in los angeles. Also i wanted to mention that today i decided to wait to eat until 2oclock to eat and the last meal i had the day before was at 3 oclock. I made it but i was so hungry it was really bad and i ate twice as much as i normally would and i felt terrible physically. Because i was away from home i ate what was close to me and it was a hamburger and i ate 2 orders of fries. thats not like me at all. im going back to eating early in the day again giving myself a 5hour window like i did before. I really lost control and i didnt like it. I dont think i could fast until 5pm im almost sure i wouldnt do too well considering that i was starving at when i fasted until 2;00.
my average day is sort of like this . well let me start by saying today i managed to eat at 12this afternoon today and tommorow i was going to try to eat at 2oclock tommorow and keep going everyday until i make it to 3 oclock. Okay my days intake varies lkie for instance tommorow i will make chicken fried rice with 2 egg rolls, and then the next day i will make fried chicken with spinach and cranberry stuffing and then the next day i will make bacon and eggs with whole wheat toast and stawberry jam, or the next day i will make 2 tacos and spanish rice, or by friday i might make pancakes with bacon and on saturday i like to make spaghetti with meat sauce and mozzerella cheese and brocolli, and sunday i might make sweet and sour chicken over white rice. My one meal consist of enough food for one person and if i try to eat more i get too full and i lose interest in continuing eating. Im thinking that maybe when i finally move my eating time to 3oclock that maybe the sugar cravings will stop, or as you said my metabolism is readjusting to a more fat based metabolism. I know i like rice and french fries and sweet potatoes these things are starchy but i dont know if i could go on a diet of just protein and no potatoes or rice but just vegetables it seems so limiting. Anyway thats pretty much what i cook sometimes because i dont have a large itinerary of what to cook and my culinary skills are limited. Also i do like fruit a lot especially grapes and plums I try to stay close to a diet fit for my blood type. have you heard of that before? I discovered my blood type is type o negative so i also try to eat things that are right for it.
hello scott, this time i wont leave such a long post. Today i moved my eating window to 11:00am to 2:00pm and i noticed that at 3 oclock that maybe the feeling i need sugar or whatever is because im actually hungry because i dont always feel really hungry at 9am or at 10am so i tried eating at 11:00am and i still wasnt really hungry it just felt like i was eating because the food was there and i could of afforded to wait so im skipping breakfast ...slowly until i get to the 3:oo time and i may just solve this problem yet. Ive been reading on the FAST 5 lifestyle and it feels right to me..i hope i havent confused you with the post i wrote before this one. if not let me knowl LOL..thanks.
hi scott ive been doing IF since 1997 and i was doing it well until about 2002 and i sort of fell off the IF wagon when a few things started going wrong in my life and i started eating more and started eating sugary cookies and soda at night . Before i started IF iwas 150lbs and i ate all day and most of that was carboyhdrates and a lot of fried food and a lot of mcdonalds french fries. Okay now we switch to present day. Since 2003 until this past couple of days i have tried to stay true to IF but this uncomfortable urge to eat junk like potato chips , cookies, any kind of soda and candy would hit me around 3 oclock and then i would try not to give in to it and my thoughts about it would get the better of me and i would give in knowing that my weight would go up. Now since i found your website i just recently found out that in the past in 1997 i discovered how to do IF but i dont think anyone was talking about it then and i diidnt have access to a computer and i wasnt computer literate at the time. I was just experimenting with changing my eating habits and noticed that when i ate one meal a day my weight went down considerably and i was able to start exercising but even then i noticed that at 3 or 4 oclock i was looking for something to drink or eat that had sugar in it and i would get thirsty if i ate the sugar or whatever it was. now since i found your website this was 4 days ago i think i have lost weight again ive lost 4 pounds so far because im IFing again but i think im still dealing with what feels like sugar withdrawl only i dont feel like im going to give in to it. So far i havent its just that id rather not go this sugar withdrawl problem at all. Do you think i should have my meal closer to 3oclock and maybe that will stop all this or maybe my body is trying to tell me thats when its really hungry ? sorry this post is so long im sure this problem probably isnt too complicated, if it is i will understand but im determined not to let it keep me from IFing for life. Ive come too far to stop now.Ive only got 10 more pounds to lose . im 5"2 and im small boned and petite and its important for me that i stay small rather than carrying a lot of excess weight i dont need . now that i know ive been doing IF im determined to stick with it. I apologise for leaving such a long post.
thanks scott for your input it really helps alot. thanks . just one last question how come after i work out and thats usually around 3 i immediately start craving sugar then water then sugar again . I expect to be thristy but the sugar craving is really crazy and since ive been IFing for a long time this has been a long on going battle and it always starts around 3 oclock. My workout is only walking fro about 5 miles then i do uphill walking or hiking and some days i run for 3to 6 miles and then the sugar craving starts or it feels like a craving for soda along with being thristy but not hungry at all. If this is a complicated post im really sorry lol i havent been able to figure this problem out.
Tracey, you're probably eating enough at your bodyweight then. Just wanted to make sure you were.
Julie, most of my calories are eaten in the evening and I have no problem maintaining my weight. There's no truth to the myth that eating late at night leads to more weight gain. The body is smarter than that and metabolism is a function of your caloric intake over time, not over the course of one day. You may not see as much weight loss in the morning since the food you ate the night before is still being digested, but you can counter that by weighing yourself at a different time of day, such as before you start eating most of your calories.
You should probably not "suddenly" do anything. I worked into eating mostly at night by slowly moving my eating times back, shifting breakfast, then skipping breakfast, then doing the same with lunch. Now, I rarely eat breakfast and 3 or 4 days a week, eat only from 5pm to 9pm.
Hope that helps!
hello scott i have a question how is it that a person can lose weight on the warrior diet considering all your calories are eaten in the late evening. Somehow how would i see any significant weight loss when i weigh on the scale in the morning if i ate a meal at night? im interested in losing 15 pounds and im scared that if i suddenly changed from eating early in the day to suddenly eating late at night woudnt that cause a hormonal inbalance as well as weight gain?
hello scott thanks a lot for your reply i wanted to say when i do eat in the morning its usually the kind of food that people usually eat for dinner . i like to eat baked chicken with gravy and sweet potatoes and a vegetable of some kind like brocolli. Then afterwards ill workout at the park near me or i will go walking.ive been doing this for12 years and i was 160lbs at the time and i lost 50lbs from following this lifestyle. I didnt know there was a name for what ive been doing. Also id been afraid to change my one meal a day plan to one meal at night because im afraid that eating at night will definetly cause weight gain for me or it may disturb my sleep at night. I sure hope that my metabolism hasnt slowed down, i usually feel pretty energetic during the day, its just that i sometimes crave sugar around 3oclock and it nags me and some days are better than others. i try real hard not to give in to it.
Hey Tracey,
That certainly sounds like Intermittent Fasting to me. Just be sure you're eating enough food when you do eat that you don't slow down your metabolism. I still eat 2500-3000 calories per day. I just cram them into a shorter time frame.
hello i had a question if i eat early in the morning and a small snack like a apple at 2oclock and then i dont eat again until early morning the next day isnt that intermittent fasting? i lost 50lbs when i first started this. thanks for any reply.

So LuckyRead Now
In 2008, I attended a dinner for a good friend and met someone that told me a miraculous story. She shared with me a life changing event about her daughter taking her first steps after riding a horse even after the doctors expected a very different outcome. I already knew horses had healing powers from years of riding and had been looking for an opportunity to volunteer at a special place. Her story brought me to tears and I typed Red Arena in my phone immediately. I contacted them the next week and started as a side walker. The riders and horses had such an impact on me that I had to do more. Now, nine years later I have been blessed to witness such a great organization grow and change so many lives. Reagan is just one of the miracles that happens every day at Red Arena. I was so lucky to sit next to her Mom that night.

Celtic Peace Necklace
Inspired by the intricate artwork of Celtic designs, this amulet represents the intertwining of the ancient Celtic peoples. Wear it as a symbol of the peace within oneself, in one's relationships with others, and to promote universal peace and harmony.
In the center of this design is a Triskele; a three pointed Celtic Knot - an Ancient symbol that helps bring Peace into your life.
The Three points of the knot symbolizes the unity of Body, Mind, and Spirit necessary for the Attainment of Peace. It helps bring the acceptance of one's Fate and the understanding of life's process of Birth, Growth, and Death necessary for the attainment of Peace. Peace can be defined as a condition of "tranquility;" a command of emotions that keeps a person calm in the midst of excitement or danger.
Peace is also a state of mind; when one knows that all one has is all one needs. This realization helps to achieve a balance of thought, word and deed.
Surrounding the Triskele is a Perfect Circle entwined with swirling Celtic Knotwork resulting in a Talisman symbolizing the three fold aspect your individuality held within the spiraling arms of eternity, with the unity of the circle binding all as one.
Each double-sided Celtic Peace Pendant is handcrafted in the U.S. by skilled artisans. Crafted of the highest quality, lead-free Excelsior Pewter, it measures approximately 1 3/8 inches in diameter and includes an adjustable black cord included.

Hi, everyone! Today's Inspiration Challenge over at Splitcoast is to find inspiration from "The Grommet".....I fell in love with the colors of this phone pouch.....bright pink and soft yellow = yummy!!! I need several graduation cards this year, so I made two cards, nearly the same, but made one yellow and one pink. The image and scripture are from "As You Graduate", the background was stamped with the "Chalkboard Vine Background" stamp, and the die cuts are from the ODBD Custom Beautiful Borders Die Set, all from Our Daily Bread designs. The images were stamped with Stazon Jet Black, then sponged with bright pink and soft yellow.

Will eating raw foods really help me reduce weight, lower my blood pressure and cholesterol?
First of all, eating raw foods will help you lose weight because there is nothing for the fat to hold on to. My blood pressure was 170/105... dangerously high. In one month my blood pressure was normal and I was OFF OF MEDICINE! This is my story.
According to the DVD "EATING" (www.ravediet.com),
animal products are the only source of cholesterol on the planet. So
when you stop ingesting animal products, your cholesterol will get
back to normal.
According to the DVD "Simply Raw" (www.rawfor30days.com) eating raw will cure diabetes. According to them, you can get your diabetes under control by stopping eating what's making you sick.
My father's wife had Sarcoidosis, a potentially life threatening condition. She went to Hipprocates Institute in West Palm Beach, Florida where they taught her to eat raw foods, and her condition improved to the point where she no longer has any symptoms or needs any medication (www.hippocratesinst.org) .
The woman who taught me how to prepare the raw foods had rheumatoid arthritis, and she went to the Optimum Health Institute in San Diego, and she became a raw foodist, and now her rheumatoid levels are normal.
My friend, Raul, owner of the Greenwave Café in Fort Lauderdale had a serious health condition. He got off of the S.A.D. (Standard American Diet), and began eating all raw. He lost 50 lbs, and his cancer is gone. (www.greenwavecafe.org)
Elizabeth, who runs the GWAH healing center in Hollywood, Florida had a condition that caused her to almost go blind. She started on the raw foods about 15 years ago, and she says her eyesight is back to normal (www.gwah.org) .
...and these are just the people I know personally.
There are literally HUNDREDS of stories just like this online. Please start researching for yourself. This is really amazing!!!

- I met Keith Duffy (of Boyzone fame), Tom Kerridge and Paul Hollywood.
- I went on short breaks to the Forest of Dean and the Lake District – both were beautiful.
- I saw Zach Braff at the screening of the movie I helped him to make.
- I went to NYC – so much fun …
- and saw Niagara Falls – absolutely amazing,
- and Washington, D.C. – fascinating place (read about the whole trip here).
- I became an Aunty again for the 8th time!
I would like to thank all my friends and family for being a part of my life.

The Feast of the Transfiguration
John Damascene: The Mystery of the Transfiguration
John of Damascus
THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THE FEAST OF THE TRANSFIGURATION by Fr Jean Corbon OP
Christians are still too likely to misunderstand the Transfiguration and look upon it as just one miracle among others, a kind of apologetic proof. The feast celebrating it has likewise become indistinct to them, perhaps because it is the only one not to have a place in the chronological sequence of the Lord's feasts. It is a commemoration of an event that occurred during his mortal life, but it is celebrated after Pentecost and in the bright light of summer (August 6). Yet this event, which upsets the logic that we see as governing time, is precisely the one that best brings home to us the eschatological condition of the body of Christ; it is an apocalyptic vision at the center of the Gospel.
The Synoptic writers deliberately make this "strange sight" the high point of the ministry of Jesus. [Mark 9:2-10; Matthew 17:1-9; Luke 9:28-36] The astonishment felt and the questions roused by the preceding theophanies "Who can this be?" "Who do you say I am?" — lead to this summit, and it is from here that the journey to the final Passover in Jerusalem begins. The miracles were anticipations of the energies of the risen Christ; the transfiguration is the theophany that reveals their meaning or, better, that already brings to pass what these energies will accomplish in our mortal flesh: our divinization.
The transfiguration is the historical and literary center of the Gospel by reason of its mysterious realism: the humanity of Jesus is the vital place where men become God. Christ is truly a man! But to be a man does not mean "being in a body", as all the unrepentant dualisms imagine; according to biblical revelation, it means "being a body", an organic and coherent whole. Because men are their bodies, they are also, like their God, related to other persons, the cosmos, time, and him who is communion in its fullest possible form.
Moreover, ever since the Word took flesh he has a "human" relationship, with all its dimensions, to the Father and to all other men: the fire of his light sets the entire bush aflame; the whole of his humanity is "anointed" with it; "in him, in bodily form, lives divinity in all its fullness" (Colossians 2:9), and to this Paul adds, "and in him you too find your own fulfillment" (Colossians 2:10).
What was it, then, that took place in this unexpected event? Why did the Incomprehensible One allow his "elusive beauty" to be glimpsed for a moment in the body of the Word? Two certainties can serve us as guides.
First, the change, or, to transliterate the Greek word, the "metamorphosis", was not a change in Jesus. The Gospel text and the unanimous interpretation of the Fathers are clear: Christ "was transfigured, not by acquiring what he was not but by manifesting to his disciples what he in fact was; he opened their eyes and gave these blind men sight." [Saint John Damascene, Second Homily on the Transfiguration (PG 96:564C)] The change is on the side of the disciples.
The second certainty confirms this point: the purpose of the transfiguration, like everything else in the economy that is revealed in the Bible, is the salvation of man. As in the burning bush, so here the Word "allows" the light of his divinity "to be seen" in his body, in order to communicate not knowledge but life and salvation; he reveals himself by giving himself, and he gives himself in order to transform us into himself.
But if it be permissible to take off the sandals of curiosity and inquisitive gnosis and draw near to the mystery, we may ask: Why did Jesus choose this particular moment, these two witnesses, and these three apostles? What was he, the Son — so passionately in love with the Father and so passionately concerned for us — experiencing in his heart? A few days before Peter had already been given an interior enlightenment and had acknowledged Jesus as the Christ of God. Jesus had then begun to lift the veil from the not far distant ending of his life: he had to suffer, be put to death, and be raised from the dead. It is between this first prediction and the second that he undertakes to ascend the mountain.
The reason for the transfiguration can be glimpsed, therefore, in what the evangelists do not say: having finished the instruction preparatory to his own Pasch, Jesus is determined to advance to its accomplishment. With the whole of his being, the whole of his "body", he is committed to the loving will of the Father; he accepts that will without reservation. From now on, everything, up to and including the final struggle at which the same three disciples will be invited to be present, will be an expression of his unconditional "Yes" to the Father's love.
We must certainly enter into this mystery of committed love if we are to understand that the transfiguration is not an impossible unveiling of the light of the Word to the eyes of the apostles, but rather a moment of intensity in which the entire being of Jesus is utterly united with the compassion of the Father. During these decisive days of his life he becomes transparent to the light of the love of the One who gives himself to men for their salvation. If, then, Jesus is transfigured, the reason is that the Father causes his own joy to flame out in him. The radiance of the light in the suffering body of Jesus is, as it were, the thrill experienced by the Father in response to the total self-giving of his only Son. This explains the voice that pierces through the cloud: "This is my Son, the Beloved; he enjoys my favor. Listen to him" (Matthew 17:5).
We can also understand the profound feelings of Moses and Elijah, for these two men who had sensed the closeness of the divine glory that was impatient to save man are now contemplating it in the body of the Son of Man. "I have indeed seen the misery of my people…. I have heard them crying for help…. I am well aware of their sufferings, and I have come down to rescue them" (Exodus 3:7-8); "Answer me, Yahweh, answer me…. I am full of jealous zeal for Yahweh Sabaoth, because the Israelites have abandoned your covenant" (1 Kings 18:37; 19:10).
All this is expressed now not by divine words or human words but by the Word himself in his humanity. No longer is there only promise and expectation, for the event has occurred; there is now present "the reality … the body of Christ" (Colossians 2:17). Moses and Elijah can leave the cave on Sinai without hiding their faces, for they have contemplated the source of light in the body of the Word.
The three disciples, for their part, are flooded for a few moments by that which it will be granted to them to receive, understand, and experience from Pentecost on, namely, the divinizing light that emanates from the body of Christ, the multiform energies of the Spirit who gives life. The thing that overwhelms them here is that "this man" is not only "God with men" but God-man; nothing can pass from God to man or from man to God except through his body.
Peter will bear witness in his Letters, as John does in all his writings, to the second of the two certainties I mentioned earlier: that participation in the life of the Father that pours out from the body of Christ is measured by the faith of the human recipient. The new element in the transfiguration consists in this light of faith that has given their bodily eyes the power to see. Thanks to this light, they "touch the Word of life" when they draw near to the body of Jesus.
Henceforth there is no longer any distance between matter and divinity, for in the body of Christ our flesh is in communion (without confusion or separation) with the Prince of life. The transfiguration of the Word gives a glimpse of the fullness of what the Word inaugurated in his Incarnation and manifested after his baptism by his miracles: namely, the truth that the body of the Lord Jesus is the sacrament that gives the life of God to men.
When our humanity consents without reserve to be united to the humanity of Jesus, it will share the divine nature (2 Peter 1:4); it will be divinized. Since the whole meaning of the economy of salvation is concentrated here, it is understandable that the liturgy should be the fulfillment of the economy. The divinization of men will come through sharing in the body of Christ.

From Ignatius Press in September
by Deacon Harold Burke-Sivers
Lucid and inspiring, Behold the Man is a unique exploration of Catholic spirituality for men. Much of the literature written for Catholic men focuses on topical issues such as fatherhood and sexuality. While this book does not exclude these subjects, it is the first to present a comprehensive picture of Catholic male spirituality.
What is authentic male Catholic spirituality? What distinguishes it from Protestant male spirituality? How does masculine spirituality complement feminine spirituality? These questions and many more are answered in this book.
Drawing from Scripture and Church teaching, the author roots Catholic male spirituality in a covenant relationship with God and the cross of Jesus Christ. He demonstrates that when a man embraces the cross he is truly able to be himself—the man that God created and calls him to be. Behold the Man can deepen a man's experience of Christ and help him to know the Lord more intimately.

My name is Leslie and I'm a web designer by heart. I've been using iPage for a couple years now for my smaller website projects (as is appropriate for shared hosting).
My rule is once my sites start generating at least $400/month, I move them over to semi-expensive hosting on my cloud VPS at another company. Here's why:
I consider this a "graduation" for these sites. Start good, become great. Starting with iPage hosting is a great way to save money during the first year or so of your site's growth. You can follow my method or not, but it's here for you if you want.
HostingReviewBox.com was, at one time, simply a chronicle of my experience using iPage's hosting service.
In addition, I have also performed in-depth research of the more technical aspects, which I don't necessarily deal with day-to-day as I use iPage; but these guides may be of help to others who have more technical needs from their hosting, such as a specific PHP version requirement, or certain configurations to allow their scripts/apps to run properly.
I love writing about this stuff, so if you have any questions about iPage or building your website, please do contact me and I'll do my best to respond in a quick fashion- usually within a day.
Thanks for visiting!
…What about me guys?
Hey, I'm Bryan and I do most of the video tutorials on hostingreviewbox.com.
Thanks for all the comments and questions, guys. Keep 'em coming! That's what makes these videos fun to make, and makes this site fun to run.
If you have any questions about iPage or even setting up/tweaking/beautifying your website in general, hit me up at email@example.com

I just read about some useful tips on the Yoplait Vanilla Yogurt container. They listed 5 great ways to enjoy yogurt. You can be creative and use a different flavor of yogurt, but I think these were meant for vanilla yogurt. Here they are:
1. Make a Parfait – Layer yogurt, granola or cereal and fresh fruit.
2. Substitute Yogurt – for whipping cream, milk, sour cream or buttermilk in muffins and breads. Omit vanilla in the recipe.
3. Fruit Tart – Combine yogurt with any fresh cut-up fruit and grated orange or lemon zest. Spoon into purchased pie or cake tarts; top with fresh berries, kiwi chunks and chopped nuts.
4. Kid's Dirt Cup – Combine equial parts yogurt and chocolate pudding. Top with crushed Cocoa Puffs cereal, or chocolate wafer cookie crumbs and a gummy worm. (I personally prefer Oreo cookie crumbs for the "dirt" part.)
5. Vanilla Whip – Combine yogurt and vanilla pudding mix (dry); stir in reduced-fat whipped topping and fresh or thawed frozen raspberries.
My favorite way to eat vanilla yogurt is with fresh or frozen blueberries, especially when I get to share it with my grand-daughter (it's her favorite, too).
I'm thinking that I'm more likely to have yogurt in the fridge than buttermilk, so that tip about substituting yogurt for buttermilk might come in handy (might be better than the old "add a tsp. of vinegar to regular milk to make buttermilk" thing).
There are many more ways to use yogurt at yoplait.com. Check it out!

Why I'm Going Public
I just made the decision to unlicense my Markdown-based wiki management software Markdoc, and re-release it into the public domain. I'm about to start the lengthy but valuable process of unlicensing all of my software, and I felt it would be a good idea to explain my actions, and perhaps convince others to follow suit.
The trail that led me here began several years ago, when I wrote my first complete program in Python. I licensed it under the GNU GPL, because as far as I could tell that was the open-source software license (I just wasn't aware of any others). I read the full text of the GPL, and it seemed reasonable enough to me. I did always have a nagging in the back of my head at the time, that the 'viral' nature of the license might be harmful in the long term, but I went with it anyway. Nothing I had written at that stage was worthy of being redistributed by anyone else, so I had little to worry about.
My encounter with Django convinced me to start using MIT/X11 as my license of choice. It turns out a lot of other people shared my opinion on the GPL, and that the choice of license really did have real-world consequences. Like Mac OS X coming with a sucky readline library, or stupidly long installations because a developer couldn't include a required library with their software for fear of being sued. As I saw it, GPL was a different kind of free software — it was freedom whether you like it or not.
By this point I was just a step away from public domain. Not being a lawyer, I had neither the incentive nor the ability to draft a comprehensive 'unlicense' that would declare my code as public domain. The MIT license was suiting me fine, and I didn't expect anyone to even want to redistribute my software. After all, this is the era of the dynamic language, and it's relatively simple to just declare an external dependency and call it a day. But then came the revelation.
Software Freedom
The word 'free' is bandied about a lot today. Sometimes it's written as 'Free', because with capitalization it is no longer a word, but a platonic ideal. The FSF describes free software as "free as in speech, not as in beer" (although it's usually both). I, however, like to consider the spirit of freedom. And, unlike the FSF, I'm not going to waste over 12,000 bytes telling you what it is.
The Spirit of Freedom
So I've written a piece of software.
- I'm not making any promises about this piece of software.
- You are free to do whatever the fuck you want with this piece of software.
- You are free to do whatever the fuck you want to this piece of software.
And isn't that what being free is all about? Not having to worry that you might be breaking a rule? Even though I think the MIT license is relatively loose, it still forces requirements on the users:
Permission is hereby granted ...snip... subject to the following
The above copyright notice and this permission notice shall be
included in all copies or substantial portions of the Software.
OK, so it's a small requirement, but even this turns out to be a big issue when you're dealing with mixing and redistributing multiple pieces of software with various licenses.
The way public domain works is as follows:
You see my code.
You like my code.
You copy-and-paste my code into your application, and if you're gracious enough, you send me a tweet or an e-mail to let me know. Perhaps you even acknowledge my contribution in an AUTHORS file somewhere.
But you don't have to.
Now that's what I call freedom.
The Unlicense
The Unlicense has recently been published, and it's provided the impetus I needed to start putting my software into the public domain (henceforth known as 'pubdomming'). I can now
cp-and-go as I could with the GPL and MIT licenses. The text of the license is short and sweet, and remains perfectly aligned with the spirit of freedom. So why don't you unlicense your code?

In the 11th and 12th centuries, basic monasteries were built and by the 14th century the great monastery of Meteoron was constructed. The difficult access gave the monks an ideal refuge, as well as protection during the Turkish occupation. Today 6 monasteries remain out of the original 20.

I am unable to identify what these sounds mean.
What is disturbing is that at the end of these sounds it reboots and then ARMS ITSELF with Mission Planner reporting that it is DISARMED.
The kill switch will NOT disarm the aircraft.
I can not make this error happen, it just does. Occasionally I will get a normal boot.
No errors show on HUD, no errors reported in logs.
Any help is welcome and appreciated!
Views: 411
format the SD Card and see if your issue goes away.
The self arming only happens when this error is present. This multirotor has more than 100 sorties. Trying a few things, will report back.
Removing the kill switch does not fix the problem
Replacing the kill switch does not fix the problem
This error is truly intermittent
Formating the SD card has no effect
Upon recalibrating the transmitter these problems appear to have ceased. Testing in progress.
The fact remains that this error code, as it is sounded from pixhawk is either being misinterpreted or is not in the listed library of error sounds.

Sometimes I make an ATC and it doesn't look like stand-alone art, it needs something else to be its reason. That's what happened to this card:
I started with the polymer clay flower and the gessoed background Susan sent me, and built up what looked nice, but it just seemed... I don't know. I finally gave up and slapped it on a card base, threw on a sentment, added a snippet of ribbon, and was gluing it all together when the cap came off my glue and poured onto the card.
I grabbed a wet rag, peeled off all the layers, and scrubbed the glue around, giving the card base an interesting texture, then glued it back together (a little off, I fear). Also, and I probably shouldn't admit this, but this looks a lot like the Blogger's Challenge sketch. I was going to do the Bloggers Challenge earlier, before the mail came, but then I forgot... or did I?

Goodman, Jill Wakeman
Jill Wakeman Goodman was born in Coldwater, Michigan, to William Hall Wakeman and Ruth Kitchel Wakeman. Goodman became involved in civil rights activities in 1963...Her early involvement dealt with such issues as housing and job discrimination, and school integration. In June 1966, Rev. Bob Beech spoke in Ms. Goodman's church, and asked for volunteers to go to Mississippi that summer to participate in the Delta Ministry Project of the National Council of Churches. After hearing Rev. Beech, she "...felt a tremendous need to answer his call." As a result, she spent much of the summer of 1966 in Hattiesburg, Mississippi, where she was assigned to the Eaton Precinct in the city's Eastern sector. Her work consisted largely of canvassing and polling of the area's African American residents regarding voter registration; problems with job discrimination; and financial, educational, and housing needs...Since her activities in Mississippi, Ms. Goodman has enjoyed an active and varied career, serving as a congressional aid in Washington, D. C.; a county campaign manager in Senator Robert F. Kennedy's 1968 presidential campaign; a Planned Parenthood counselor; and a legal assistant in her husband's law firm. Her community involvement includes work with Samaritan House and Christian Action Call Line (CALL), both of which are community-based organizations dealing with problems of the homeless, young people, the elderly, and families in need of assistance. In addition, she is involved in the Conference on Religion, Race, and Social Concern for San Mateo County, and at least two organizations affiliated with the Presbyterian Church."--Inventory of the Goodman (Jill Wakeman) Civil Rights Collection, University of Southern Mississippi.

SHREVEPORT, La. – It was quite the first impression this weekend for freshman Miguel Vasquez.
Coming off a pair of wins Friday night, Vasquez claimed titles in the 200 IM and 200 backstroke to help Gents Swimming split a tri-meet with Hendrix and Colorado College Saturday afternoon, October 20. The Gents beat the Warriors, 106-90, but fell to the Tigers 124-72.
For the Ladies, freshman Madelyn Frederick won the 50 freestyle for the second time in as many days. The Ladies tied Hendrix, 95-95, but fell to the Tigers, 118-74.
Frederick claimed the first individual win for Centenary Swimming for the second straight meet in a close finish. She improved her time 0.12 seconds from Friday night, touching the wall in 26.25 – 0.02 seconds faster than the runner-up.
Vasquez, who just out-touched his opponent last night in the 200 butterfly and as a member of the 400 medley relay team, left nothing in doubt on Saturday. He claimed the title in the 200 IM by more than three seconds with a time of 2:01.05. He also triumphed in the 100 backstroke by more than three seconds, touching the was in 54.00 – just 0.65 seconds off of the top-10 list in program history.
On the women's side, freshman Brianna Serret claimed an event win for the second straight meet. She started the Centenary sweep in the 100 backstroke, winning by more than two seconds with a time of 1:03.54. Vasquez quickly followed to complete the sweep.
Freshman Kaylin Swoboda made sure her first collegiate win etched her name in the Centenary record books. Swoboda took the 100 breaststroke title in 1:11.24, the eighth fastest time in the event in school history.
The Ladies added a 200 freestyle relay title to end the meet and force a tie with the Warriors. Frederick, Serret, and Swoboda teamed up with freshman Lindsay Strohm to win the event by more than two seconds with a time of 1:44.53.
The Centenary swimming teams take more than two weeks off before competing in the annual Hendrix Relays and Hendrix Classic November 2-3.

ROCHESTER — In 2013, several businesses helped fundraise for "Howie's Field of Dreams," a new ball field in Rochester for young players with physical and/or mental challenges who enjoy playing baseball.
In support of these efforts, Jeanette Poulin of Profile Bank and a committee comprised of local business women created an annual fashion show and silent auction to benefit a different non-profit each year, the first one supporting Howie's Field of Dreams. This year's recipient of funds is the Monarch School of New England, a school for students with significant disabilities, ages 5 through 21, located in Rochester.
"We are very excited to support the work of the Monarch School of New England," says Poulin. "We created the fashion show and silent auction not only as a way to give back to the community but also as a way to showcase businesses in the area. This year, we have fashions from Dino Furs and Bella Intimates; tickets to give away to see the Red Sox and Six Flags Amusement Park; and gift certificates at such restaurants as the Black Trumpet in Portsmouth and Blue Latitudes in Dover. It will be a fabulous event!"
Monies raised from the fashion show and silent auction will go towards building an addition at the Monarch School of New England and allow for more programming to better serve the needs of its students.
"We have a great need for more space at the school," states Diane Bessey, the school's Executive Director. "To be selected by Jeanette's committee as a recipient of the funds from this event is a great honor for us. We are pleased and excited to be part of it."
Participating retailers include: Andrea's Bridal Boutique, Bella Intimates, Daisy Janes, Dino Furs, J. Hilburn, Kali Klass, Lia Sophia, Lizology, Pretty Little Things, SolSistar and Thirty-One Gifts.
This event is underwritten by Centrix Bank and sponsored by Norm Vetter Foundations, Safe Homes Real Estate LLC.

The reality is this: Star Trek might not be what it is today and might not have ever celebrated its 50th anniversary as a living, breathing franchise, were it not for "Space Seed," the Star Trek: The Original Series episode that debuted on February 16, 1967 -- or 50 years ago today. It was "Space Seed" that inspired Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, and it was The Wrath of Khan that "saved" Star Trek and paved the way for all that's come since. To mark the occasion, we thought we'd indulge in some facts, figures and anecdotes about "Space Seed."
And... Action!
"Space Seed" first rolled camera on December 15, 1966.
120 Scenes? Yes, 120 Scenes
According to StarTrek.com guest bloggers Maria Jose and John Tenuto, who wrote an extensive six-part series of pieces for us a couple of years ago about the making of the episode, there were a total of 120 scenes, and it took the crew and actors about 66 hours to film the entire 51-minute episode.
Directed By Marc Daniels...
Marc Daniels directed "Space Seed." He'd collaborated with Gene Roddenberry on The Lieutenant. One of his episodes of The Lieutenant, "In the Highest Tradition," featured three future Star Trek actors, Leonard Nimoy, Majel Barrett and Gary Lockwood. Daniels directed a total of 14 TOS episodes and penned the Star Trek: The Animated Series episode "Once Upon a Planet." Daniels passed away in 1989 at the age of 77.
The Wrath of ... Ericcson?
Khan's original name was supposed to be Harold Ericcson, with Ericcson spelled several different ways throughout pre-production, until the name became Khan. Oh, and Ericcson, according to Memory Alpha, was meant to be a Nordic superman.
Craft Services Costs More Now...
The budget for "Space Seed" was $192,654. Per the Tenutos, it actually cost less than that, thanks to the efficient work of producer Robert Justman.
Choke Me or Cut My Throat!
Memorable bit of dialoge #1: "Well either choke me or cut my throat!" Dr. McCoy shouted at Khan. "Make up your mind!"
Montalban and Rhue BEFORE "Space Seed"
Did you know that Ricardo Montalban, who played Khan, and Madlyn Rhue, who played Marla McGivers had once before played husband and wife? It's true, and they did so in a 1960 episode of Bonanza titled "Day of Reckoning," an hour with echoes of The Wrath of Khan's revenge storyline.
Khan Changed Outfits FIVE Times
"William Ware Theiss' costume design work on 'Space Seed' is remarkable for its iconic nature and its interesting symbolism," the Tenutos wrote on in a StarTrek.com guest blog. "Even with limited time, the costumes of 'Space Seed' say something symbolic. Khan, for example, changes his outfit five times. Two are reuses of previously designed costumes (Gary Mitchell's blue medical costume and an engineering costume). As an interesting aside, Khan does seem to like wearing Starfleet regalia: he does so in 'Space Seed, in The Wrath of Khan (wearing both the broken Starfleet insignia and Starfleet jacket) and in Star Trek Into Darkness (as John Harrison in the black Starfleet shirt).
A Superior Line
Memorable bit of dialogue #2: "Superior ability," Spock notes, "breeds superior ambition."
A Missing Scene
Khan, when he makes his move against the Enterprise, first beams to the Botany Bay with Marla's help to pick up his crew. In the episode as edited and aired, the Tenutos note, "Khan greets his people on the Botany Bay, and the next sequence occurs on the bridge as the episode shows the effects of Khan taking over ship systems. In the filmed episode, we would have seen Khan and his people actually returning to the Enterprise in the transporter room. We never do see that, but luckily there is a photograph of this moment preserved on a Lincoln Enterprise slide fans could purchase during the 1970s."
Most Illogical
Memorable bit of dialogue #3: "We can be against him and admire him all at the same time," Kirk said to a befuddled Spock.
I Love Lucy, We All Love Lucy
It was during the production of "Space Seed" that Roddenberry learned that NBC had decided to keep Star Trek on the air for the full season. Dated October 5, 1996, the letter came from Lucille Ball, the boss at Desilu Studios, and it read: "Dear Gene and the rest of you hardworking people. Just heard the good news, and want you to know how proud and happy I am. Looks like you have a real hit on your hands, and we appreciate your efforts."
A World to Win...
Memorable bit of dialogue #4: "And I've gotten something else I wanted," Khan utters at his hearing. "...A world to win, an empire to build."
Chekov And Sulu Went to Lunch?
Walter Koenig and George Takei were MIA in "Space Seed." Of course, in The Wrath of Khan, the vengeful Khan somehow remembered Chekov.
Did Spock Foresee Wrath of Khan?
Memorable bit of dialogue #5: "It would be interesting, captain, to return to that world in 100 years," Spock presciently says to Kirk, "and to learn what crop has sprung from the seed you planted today."

"Mine– This Hammer!"
Roy Thomas, Writer/Editor * John Buscema * Tom Palmer, Illustrators/ Glynis Wien, Colorist/ Joe Rosen, Letterer/ Jim Shooter, Consulting Editor
Odin is weakened from losing a sizeable portion of the Odinforce, but nonetheless decides to put his son, Loki on trial.
Before the trial begins, Loki advises Red Norvell to don Thor's Belt of Strength in the temple of the Palace of Thor, where he can both find and wear Thor's Iron Gloves, and finally, to bathe in the fire of Geirrodur.
Norvell does all of this, and then he crashes the trial. He is now bigger, beardier, and dressed in Asgardian raiment. He claims to be the "real Thor". He is brash and brutish and picks a fight with Thor. As they fight, Norvell grabs Mjolnir and wrests it from Thor's grasp!!
Red beats Thor to a pulp with Mjolnir and is prepared to kill Thor when Joey attempts to intervene. Red accidentally kills Joey. This gives him only slight pause. He threatens to kill Thor if Sif will not come away with him. When that doesn't work, he threatens to destroy the Odinshield and thus bring about the end of the world.
Faced with the end of the world Sif yields to this creep. Norvell, still holding Thor's hammer, grabs Sif and they depart. Yuck.

Selsport and Hibernian goalkeeper Mark Oxley has been inundated with interview requests following his scoring debut earlier this month – we were lucky enough to catch up with Mark and ask him a few questions (this is Part 2 of the interview, Part 1 can be found either here)
Selsport: Mark tell all the Selsport fans how you became a goalkeeper?
MO: Typical a big lad when I was younger I got stuck in goal and took to it straight away never looked back played for Rotherham from 9 to 17, then moved to Hull.
Selsport: Is there a typical weeks training?
MO: Usually Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday are training days. Game Saturday and then off Wednesday and Sunday result depending haha! sometimes in Sunday if we have midweek game.
Selsport: Whats important for your diet?
MO: Balanced meals 3-4 times a day with veg meat and carbs. Protein shake after training and games.
Selsport: Looking back as a goalkeeper coming through the ranks what did you find tough and what would you suggest to any young goalkeeper in that position to work on?
MO: I'd tell young kids to enjoy it and play with a smile on your face as this will make your performance shine through. Practice as much with both feet as possible kicking and playing out from the back becoming more popular throughout the country.
Selsport: How do you keep yourself motivated as a goalkeeper?
MO: Don't need motivating, I count myself lucky to be getting paid for something I love to do.
Selsport: Tell us about your gloves and why you choose Selsport
MO: Selsport provide comfort and great grip in all conditions and grip tends to last a lot longer than other gloves used in the past.
Selsport: What the most important of a glove for you?
MO: Important wear a glove that's not too tight and not to big that fits comfortably and allows full range of hand movement.
Selsport: What have you got your sights on for this season?
MO: To play as many games as possible as well as possible and get Hibs back in the SPL.
Selsport: Can you give us a Mark Oxley top goalkeeping Tip?
MO: Never beat yourself up or get too high after performances/results. Keep the ball out of the net!!
Selsport: What a brilliant debut? first time scoring?
MO: Yes was great to get 3 points first and foremost but unbelievable to get the winning goal. Not often I'll get to say that.
Selsport: Did you think it was on the cards when it left your foot? Can you believe how much exposure it's got?
MO: No I was just concentrating on trying to hit our striker and it didn't seem a bigger kick than normal until it zipped up off the surface and bounced over their keeper. Exposure has been mad on YouTube with all the views still can't quite believe it. Hoping to use the result & kick on to a successful season
Thanks Mark for taking time to talk to us, good luck with everything?
Mark Oxley will be wear Selsport's Surround Viper family of gloves for the 2014/15 season.

What Is IMH Endorsement®? from Alliance for Advancement of IMH on Vimeo.
The Pennsylvania Association for Infant Mental Health (PA-AIMH) will soon be offering a nationally recognized system for professionals across multiple service areas to meet competencies and earn a professional endorsement focusing on relationship-based, culturally-sensitive practices supporting infant and early childhood mental health.
The Infant Mental Health Endorsement® (IMH-E®) and Early Childhood Mental Health Endorsement® (ECMH-E®) are specifically designed to provide a framework for specialized training and reflective supervision to support the promotion of infant & early mental health principles, prevention of related disorders, intervention through supports for affected children and families, and relationship-based treatment, when needed. This framework includes a broad array of infant & early childhood mental health competencies ("IECMH Competencies") that professionals may have gained, or can seek to gain, through education, work experience, or professional development, and which are recognized in Pennsylvania and 26 other states.
The IECMH Competencies® are organized within several Areas of Expertise.
There are four categories of Endorsement®, designed for professionals whose work spans the scope of services provided to young children and their families. Working in collaboration with Pennsylvania Project LAUNCH, PA-AIMH's goal is to facilitate a broad range of professionals—child care professionals, early intervention service coordinators, home visitors, medical providers, child welfare professionals, and more—in gaining this important level of expertise to improve their daily work. PA-AIMH and Project LAUNCH are working to implement Endorsement® to enable the first Pennsylvania cohorts to complete their work in 2018.
Project LAUNCH will be providing special direct support for interested early adopters through several LAUNCH IMH Learning Collaboratives in 2018 and 2019. Among the benefits of seeking the Infant or Early Childhood Mental Health Endorsement® (IMH-E®/ECMH-E®):
- Current knowledge and framework: You know the importance of supporting infant and early childhood mental health in your daily work. Because Endorsement® revolves around competencies that are expressly relationship-based and culturally-sensitive, seeking and maintaining I/ECMH-E® provides a framework for maintaining focus on these principles and keeping current with the latest research and learning going forward.
- Cross-sector networking and relationships: Supporting strong infant and early childhood mental health isn't just for counselors. Research shows that it is critical to have infant mental health principles and best practices embedded in all systems that serve children and families. Endorsement® is designed to engage professionals across systems. Acquiring the I/ECMH-E® can enhance and improve your daily practice not only through training but by showing professionals in other service areas, at a glance, that you prioritize and have deep commitment to infant mental health principles and practice. These professionals interact with and impact your own clients every day: they are medical and mental health professionals, early intervention specialists, early childhood providers, and child welfare professionals, to name just a few. They will recognize the I/ECMH-E® designation as an indicator of your expertise, and will interact with you accordingly.
- Reflective Supervision as best practice and future opportunity: Endorsement® is not only about training; the Endorsement® process also includes a focus on the value of Reflective Supervision. Reflective Supervision has been recognized in the counseling field as a critical part of professional practice, and I/ECMH-E® will serve to raise the visibility and availability of this critical practice for providers across the span of services for young children. During the current implementation period in Pennsylvania, those seeking or maintaining their I/ECMH-E® designation will have some flexibility in finding qualified persons to provide their Reflective Supervision. However, after a critical mass of professionals earn their Endorsement®, only those holding the I/ECMH-E® designation will be qualified to provide Reflective Supervision to candidates for Endorsement® and those renewing their I/ECMH-E® credential. If you have an interest in providing Reflective Supervision to others as a part of your professional practice, I/ECMH-E® will become increasingly important to you both clinically and from a business perspective.
- Project LAUNCH Learning Collaboratives: The cross-pollination, depth of understanding and networking benefits built into the I/ECMH-E® process is enhanced right now with the involvement of Pennsylvania Project LAUNCH in the initial implementation of the PA-AIMH Endorsement® process. Project LAUNCH is committed to this cross-sector approach to both learning and practice in a variety of ways. The initial cohorts of professionals seeking I/ECMH-E® in Pennsylvania will have the opportunity to participate in dedicated Project LAUNCH Infant Mental Health Learning Collaboratives ("IMH Learning Collaboratives") that will facilitate these professional supports among a range of providers. IMH Learning Collaborative participants will gain not only the knowledge and understanding embedded in the competencies but also the professional support of this initial group of participants. Through regular interaction and engagement with a group of like-minded but diverse professionals dedicated to children's wellness and healthy development & relationships, early adopters of I/ECMH-E® who also participate in the IMH Learning Collaboratives will benefit even more.
For more information about IMH-E® & ECMH-E® and other resources relating to infant/early childhood mental health, be sure to visit the PA-AIMH website at pa-aimh.org.
